Chapter 241: The Role of Zhu Youzhen


Cao Huachun agreed, and was about to pass the decree, Zhu Xu said without raising his head: "Let King Xin also come to Wenzhao Pavilion." ” "Yes."

Cao Huachun bowed and slowly retreated.

The cabinet is too close to Wenzhao Pavilion, Ye Xianggao and others have not yet arrived, and Zhu Youzhen has arrived.

Zhu Youzhen entered the door, saw Zhu Xu holding the bun and serving the sauce, looking at the playbook while eating, his nervous expression was slightly relaxed, and he was a little relieved, he stepped forward and bowed and said, "Meet ......."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Huang doesn't need to be polite, we are not outsiders, come, sit down, by the way, have you eaten early?"

Cao Huachun, prepare a ...... for the imperial brother" Zhu Youzhen hurriedly interrupted, didn't really sit down, bowed slightly and said, "No need for the emperor, the minister has already eaten." ” Zhu Xu gobbled up the bun, turned around, wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, come on, move a stool for the imperial brother, let's sit down and talk carefully." ” Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhu Xu had something to talk about, so he didn't refuse, owed a debt, and sat down opposite Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu wiped his mouth again, looked at Zhu Youzhen's restrained expression, and said with a smile: "Brother Huang, don't be nervous, it's for the will of yesterday, right?"

” Zhu Youzhen's expression moved slightly, he bowed, raised his eyes to look at Zhu Xu, and said with a little hesitation: "Minister......

I don't quite understand what the emperor meant. ” Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the tabletop, his expression deliberate.

Cao Huachun stood not far away, looking at his nose and nose, with his understanding of Zhu Xu, he knew that Zhu Xu was going to dig a pit for King Xin.

Seeing that Zhu Xu was so cautious, Zhu Youzhen's face became more and more nervous, and his eyes kept staring at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "The Fifth Emperor Brother should know that the Imperial Brother's edict will be assisted by you, but it was not explicitly said that I had to keep you in the cabinet."

It's just that the cabinet is supplemented, and conflicts are inevitable.

Now that Gu Bingqian is gone, Sun Ge is old and devoted to military affairs, which gives me a chance. ” "A chance?"

Zhu Youzhen didn't know why, and said suspiciously.

As soon as Zhu Xu was about to speak, Liu Shimin appeared at the door and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Ye and others have arrived." ” Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Let them wait, I will talk to the imperial brother." ” Liu Shimin agreed, turned around and walked a few steps, facing Ye Xianggao, ** Xing Si said: "A few adults later, the emperor is talking to King Xin." ” Ye Xianggao naturally had nothing to do, and nodded with a smile.

Zhu Xu was interrupted by Liu Shimin, and had to reorganize again, looked at Zhu Youzhen and said: "Brother Huang, the status of your auxiliary government is unknown, and the ancestral law cannot be followed, so I decided to open a separate room in Wenzhao Pavilion, and you will lead Ye Xianggao to assist the government, and all government affairs will be handled by you." ” Zhu Youzhen was stunned, although what Zhu Xu said seemed to be very reasonable, but he always felt very awkward, and it was unreasonable to think about it.

He also knew that he couldn't resist Zhu Xu's decision, so he carefully cleared his thoughts and said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet is the most important yamen for the auxiliary government of all dynasties and the most important government affairs ......to deal with government affairs."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "I know all this, can't the imperial brother still see that I want to sort out government affairs?"

There is a Wang Wenyan in the cabinet, who dared to the point of bribing the cabinet, do you think Ye Xianggao and others really don't know?

Or do you think I really don't know anything?

” Zhu Youzhen couldn't say a word when he was blocked by Zhu Xu, and he also knew that the Donglin Party was so powerful that in order to save Xiong Tingbi, no one in the government and the opposition knew about it.

He also knows very well what kind of person Wang Wenyan is.

However, he still could not agree with the establishment of a separate cabinet, which seemed simple, but in fact it was very complicated.

The cabinet is the most critical point of the Ming Dynasty, involving all aspects, and it cannot be abolished with one sentence.

Zhu Xu also understood, and continued to fool: "I don't plan to abolish the cabinet and government affairs immediately, the imperial brother will lead Ye Xianggao and a few people to deal with it, and when the right opportunity is right, he will be abolished and then established." ” Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath, suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and the minister thinks that it should be ......discussed by the court."

Zhu Xu smacked his lips secretly, Zhu Youzhen became more and more difficult to fool, his body sat up straight, his face was flat, and his tone was a little stiff: "Brother Huang, if the court can decide, I won't come to you to discuss." ” Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhu Xu was putting on the momentum of the emperor, and he couldn't help but be half a cut shorter.

Zhu Xu stood up, picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and said with his back to Zhu Youzhen, "Brother Huang has also been in the cabinet for more than half a year, and I know what government affairs are like now. ” This sentence hit Zhu Youzhen's vital point, and he didn't care about anything else, but when it came to 'Guoben', he was three points more nervous than Zhu Xu.

After struggling in his heart for a while, he stood up, looked at Zhu Xu, and said in a deep voice: "The minister understands, let's go see Scholar Ye and the others." ” Zhu Xu's mouth curled, Zhu Youzhen was smart, and he understood his intentions so quickly.

Turning around, he said with an impassive expression, "Well, Cao Huachun, you accompany the imperial brother and move the cabinet over as it is, and you should be treated like the cabinet." ” "Yes."

Cao Huachun agreed, and accompanied Zhu Youzhen to turn outside.

After Zhu Youzhen left, Zhu Xu's tense face suddenly loosened, and he took a deep breath with a smile on his face.

With Zhu Youzhen's persuasion, even if these adults really see something, they have to agree if they don't agree.

Sure enough, half an hour later, in Wenzhao Pavilion, in the room on the far right, Ye Xianggao and others respectfully saluted Zhu Xu: "The ministers pay their respects to the emperor." ” Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and looked at Ye Xianggao in a rather inflammatory voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the cabinet, your work is exactly the same as the cabinet, you are my ministers, and all the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to you, from now on, King Xin is the cabinet assistant, you are all auxiliary ministers, assisting me in managing the Qing Dynasty government, and Zhongxing Daming......"

Ye Xianggao and others are all old ministers of the Huan Hai, where can Zhu Xu's speech be impressed, they all did not move, and listened with a slight bow.

Zhu Xu talked for a while, and when he saw that no one responded, he also felt a little embarrassed, but after all, he fooled these people, and promised some clichés, and Zhu Xu left with some unfinished feelings.

Zhu Xu returned to Wenzhao Pavilion, and not long after, Fu Changzong appeared in Wenzhao Pavilion.

Before noon, Fu Changzong looked tired, his traces were faintly white, looked at Zhu Xu, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, regarding the division of national tax and local tax, the local rebound is relatively large, and the household department has used many methods, but it is still difficult to work. ” Zhu Xu drank tea and said with a smile, "No surprise, uncle, sit down and say." ” Fu Changzong sat down as he said and said: "Regarding the customs, I haven't talked to King Xin yet, but I tried it in Fu, Jian, Guang, and Dong, and it was also boycotted by various places. ” Zhu Xu nodded, and thought about it: "Well, the manpower is all settled, send it over, and lay the nails first." ”
