'Tomorrow the Cabinet must be completed!'
’ Zhu Xu said so secretly in his heart, nodded with a serious face: "Okay, just ten years!"
” The old lady's face looked better, and she turned to look at the Empress Dowager Zhang and said, "You notified them overnight to make them all feel at ease, the clan is unstable, what else can be stable in the world?"
Tell them again, don't go into the palace and make a fuss about it, the emperor has always done things safely, let them all stay honest, and no one wants to force them to death......"
Empress Dowager Zhang responded, looked at Zhu Xu again, summoned Huan'er, and quietly instructed a few words.
Huan'er responded, hurriedly went out, and arranged for someone to spread the news.
Zhu Xu stood there and did not speak.
The old lady clearly said and did it for him, and he was very relieved that the old lady was on his side.
After Huan'er left, the old lady looked at Zhu Xu and said: "Okay emperor, just have your attitude, the old woman won't live for ten years, and I won't see anything in the future, but I still have to go to see Emperor Shenzong, let me have a face to see it......"
The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth moved, he was afraid of this kind of thing, after all, the dead pressed the living, and he couldn't resist.
Empress Dowager Zhang was a little more lenient, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, you must be cautious when you have a snack on this matter, it's late, go back and rest early." ” Zhu Xu felt the heavy pressure, and when he heard this, he said: "Old lady, imperial sister-in-law, you should also rest early, I will keep an eye on the cabinet, and let them end this matter as soon as possible." ” The old lady nodded, and stopped talking.
Li Jieyu and Hai Lanzhu hurriedly got up and followed Zhu Xu out of Cining Palace.
Zhu Xu has mostly spent the night in Yuzao Palace recently, Li Xie Yu more or less knows Zhu Xu's thoughts, followed him, looked at Zhu Xu, and said with some worry: "Your Majesty, is this matter very difficult?"
” Hai Lanzhu held her big belly, a little cautious, and her face was even more worried.
Zhu Xu glanced at the two of them, shook his head with a smile and said: "Just now I was in it to comfort the old lady, the imperial sister-in-law, the cabinet has basically made a decision, but it is still a little imperfect, and it was refuted by me."
If there is such a thing just now, I am afraid that the cabinet will be in a hurry, and we will have to hold another meeting overnight. ” Li Jieyu and Hai Lanzhu breathed a sigh of relief and didn't say anything more.
On the way back to the palace, Zhu Xu slowly paced, and suddenly looked at Hai Lanzhu and said, "Does your sister have any intention of entering Beijing?"
” The due dates of Hailanzhu and Bumu Butai are both in March next year, which is somewhat inappropriate to put outside.
Hai Lanzhu looked at Zhu Xu, opened his eyes wide, and said, "No, Bumu Butai wants to stay in Nanzhili." ” Bumu Butai is different from Hai Lanzhu, she thinks more, although she is not against entering the palace, but she doesn't want to, as long as Zhu Xu doesn't speak, she won't come.
Zhu Xu nodded slightly and did not speak.
Jinyin Village needs someone to preside, the literati of the Ming Dynasty are too pedantic, and there are many opponents of maritime trade, but Bumu Butai is more flexible in his means, and he can better implement his ideas and will, and at the same time, his identity is obscure, which will make many opponents stand up.
During Zhu Xu's stroll, the news outside the palace slowly spread.
"You said that the old lady forced the emperor to promise that if the cabinet can't come up with a convincing policy tomorrow, this matter will be postponed to ten years later?"
"Isn't that the same as invalidation?
That's great!
” "If that's the case, it's really good, you say, can you increase our age, it's not easy to live now......"
"I think so, isn't the cabinet going to be 'demoted'?"
If you don't succeed, you will increase our profits!
” The Ten Princes' Mansion, some princes' gathering places in the east of the city, got the message from the old lady and the Empress Dowager Zhang, and they became lively.
"Look, is that Zhou Shangshu's carriage?"
"It seems to be, is that Sun Ge Lao in the back?
Hey, and Shen Shangshu's carriage, what's going on?
” "Hehe, don't you understand?
The cabinet is probably in a hurry, and the cabinet is most concerned about the 'demotion of the knight'......"
"Sure enough, King Lu was also called into the palace, and now the cabinet must have a good show......
"Hey, is that King Jin?
More than a dozen people, are they all princes of the clan?
They were also called into the palace ......"
"Is the Cabinet going to make a desperate bet..."
Some laymen who saw the excitement also came up together, and the discussion was very loud, one after another, permeating all parts of the capital.
At the same time, the cabinet was brightly lit, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, King Jing, Sun Chuanting, Wang Qiaonian, plus six Shangshu, King Lu of Zongrenfu, King Jin, etc., Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others who had not yet left Beijing were also called in.
There is an empty position for Zhu Xu in the middle, Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong sit opposite each other, and the two of them are Jing Wang, Sun Chuanting, Wang Qiaonian and others, and so on, they are all high-level leaders of the Ming Dynasty, and even decision-making level.
Everyone has a steaming teacup in front of them, and a freshly lit charcoal stove in the back, and the warmth spreads.
But everyone's faces were condensed, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
The matter of 'demoting' has been brewing for a long time, and there has been no steady policy for a long time, and there is no result after discussing it for a long time today, and now the emperor is 'forced' to fulfill his promise in the harem, and the heavy pressure falls on the cabinet in an instant.

Bi Ziyan touched the teacup with one hand, and said in an extremely indifferent tone: "You all know the news from the palace, right?"
” Everyone sat still, and no one answered, and the scene was a little stiff.
Sun Chuanting just joined the cabinet today, and his tiredness has not yet eased up, he looked around, and then said: "Regarding the matter of 'demoting', the six departments of the cabinet have basically formed a consensus, that is, it must be implemented, but the specific ways and methods are still being studied.
Ladies and gentlemen, you must know that the attitude in the palace does not represent the emperor!
” Sun Chuanting's voice was gentle, and he added an accent at the end, obviously to set the tone for the topic of the cabinet.
A group of people are not strangers to Sun Chuanting, and they all have their own thoughts when they listen to his words.
If you want to say 'unanimity', it is also the emperor's 'unanimity', and the matter of 'demotion' is the emperor's meaning, a kind of 'acquiescence' formed under the pressure of the emperor.
There are three princes here, namely King Jing, King Lu, King Jin, King Jing is a cabinet assistant minister, in charge of the Governor's Yuan, King Lu is the Zongren Mansion Zongzheng, in charge of the Zongren Mansion, and the King of Jin has no position, representing those clan princes outside the palace.
The three princes all have ideas, and the 'demotion' of the cabinet will inevitably involve them.
The structure of the cabinet is a little peculiar, and it is not mature enough, Sun Chuanting's voice fell, and no one spoke for a while, there was no liveliness during the day at all, and a heavy pressure was wanton.
Sun Chengzong looked at it, frowned, and said, "I have seen the previous article Chen, it is indeed a little inappropriate, this official proposes, the 'demotion of the knight' is carried out in batches, it is expected to be completed in fifty years, and the reduction of one-fifth every ten years, and the cabinet will play the emperor, within fifty years, retain thirty hereditary princes and county kings, and begin to demote the lord after fifty years.
And you can own land in Annam and other provinces, and you can have a feudal domain, a food estate, and even a guard for the clans that have contributed to the community......"
Everyone listened to Sun Chengzong's words, and their expressions changed slightly, even Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting!
This concession is too big, and many things are more sensitive, which violates the 'ancestral system' and the regulations of the current emperor!
Bi Ziyan and the others were so surprised, and King Jing and other princes were even more surprised.
Not only does there be a buffer of fifty years, but there will still be thirty immovable ones in fifty years, and the most important thing is that their restrictions have been relaxed, except for not being able to enter the army, everything else can be!
As for the feudal domain, the food and the eup, these are very exciting to them!
This is great news and a surprise!
King Jing and King Lu were still able to restrain themselves, but King Jin poked his head out, looked at Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan and other auxiliary ministers, and said in a trembling voice: "Elder Sun Ge, what you said is true?"
” Sun Chengzong glanced at Bi Ziyan and said, "Not bad!
” Bi Ziyan frowned, he wanted to speak, but Sun Chengzong's face could not be refuted at this time, and at the same time, he understood better that these words were definitely not Sun Chengzong's thoughts, I was afraid that they were from the Qianqing Palace!
Sun Chuanting will also come to his senses at this time, carefully scrutinizing Sun Chengzong's words in his heart, and there is still hesitation on his face.
Without waiting for everyone's reaction, Sun Chengzong looked at King Jing, King Lu, and King Jin, and said with a dignified gaze, "The three princes are the highest status in the clan, I don't know if there are any other opinions?"
” The three kings felt the pressure from Sun Chengzong, glanced at each other, and then fell silent, their faces thoughtful.
The conditions given by Sun Chengzong are indeed much more lenient than those given by Bi Ziyan and others at noon today, but for the clan, they still have to be 'demoted', it is nothing more than a matter of time.
'Hereditary replacement' is the decree of Taizu, so that their descendants of the Zhu family will have no worries for generations, how can they be easily abolished?!
Bi Ziyan is unwilling to make any more concessions, this group of clans is now a maggot on the tarsal bone, and the Ming Dynasty can't afford to raise it, and he can't continue to let it suck blood and swell!
Since Sun Chengzong said it, Bi Ziyan would not take it back, and said in a deep voice, "The three princes said something, right?"
This matter must be decided tonight, and tomorrow the emperor will be announced and promulgated to the world!
