68. The Cabinet was formed
"Bang"
With a loud bang, Rukawa Yu flew out upside down, and had close contact with the ground, and that sword naturally did not stab Rukawa Kaede.
What appeared in front of Rukawa Kaede was a young man, with long flowing hair, who looked quite delicate, but his shot was so decisive and violent, which was somewhat similar to Han Quan.
"Thank you, uncle." Rukawa Kaede smiled, and then glanced at the girl in the distance, although the distance was quite far, but it was still easy to see the worry in the girl's eyes.
"You're welcome, I think, even if I don't come, you can avoid that sword, or even kill the other party, why don't you do that?" Lechuan Qiushui asked puzzled.
"Because he is my cousin, if I strike against him first, it will become unreasonable, and then I will not be able to argue, and it will be different if he strikes first, I am defending myself, and he is going to have a bad reputation for killing my brother, this is my reason, are you satisfied?"
"Yes, you are really delicate, and you are also very courageous, in that case, not only can you keep your face unchanged but also figure out many problems in an instant, you are a powerful character, but if you want to marry my sister, this is not enough."
"I'll try."
At this time, Gan Lin and the others finally cleaned up this group of dead soldiers, surrounded them, restrained Murong Feng, and protected Liuchuan Feng's side.
Everything, the dust has settled, those who should be caught have been caught, those who should have been killed have been slaughtered, the fire has also been saved, because it is man-made, it has not been long, so there are not many things that have been burned, and it is not serious, and the arsonist has also been arrested, of course, this is only the suspect.
The emperor is assassinated!
Like a thunderbolt, a thunderbolt from the sky, the entire Great Lie Empire was shaken, and the people had different opinions, but most of the voices were gloating, blaming the emperor, and mocking what he had done, which led to yesterday's assassination.
And the warlords, vassal kings and other power groups in various places are also surging, the emperor was assassinated, and I heard that he was seriously injured, does this mean that the imperial forces will be reshuffled, and they have a chance to become the new emperor?
There are many warlords from far away who directly declare independence and claim the throne! Crowning yourself and seeing your own territory as a nation.
The rebels in Jiangnan are also arrogant and strengthened because of this news, only the rebels surnamed Zhu are still low-key, and almost all the rest are planning to become kings.
Because he received a letter from his son Liuchuan Yu, Prince Liuchuan Hongyu also started his own planning, and began to be perfunctory about the counterinsurgency, and no longer contributed, losing this powerful assistant, Yan Ku suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
In addition, the Ronin from the island country in the east began to make trouble in several large coastal provinces in the southeast of the empire, burning, killing and looting, and doing all kinds of evil, making people panic and living an extremely difficult life.
Looking at these materials, Liuchuan Feng had a headache, this rebel army and the Japanese invaders made the already overwhelmed empire even worse, and the people were also miserable, and the people were miserable!
During this time, the court meeting did not open as usual, because His Majesty the Emperor was seriously injured in his old family and had difficulty moving, so he simply did not hold a meeting.
Three days later, in the face of the mountains of twists and turns, he roughly flipped through them, and the emperor found that they were all big problems, and his mood was even worse, but fortunately, at this time, Rukawa Kaede made a suggestion.
Establishment of the cabinet (note: the emperor's advisory body, after which the power gradually increased, and later formed the administrative center of the Ming Dynasty. The number of auxiliary ministers in the cabinet ranges from one to seven, and the auxiliary ministers are sent to go out on business. That's what we're doing here. These major matters are handed over to the cabinet to deal with, and the cabinet ministers make the last few optimal decisions after discussion, and finally hand them over to the emperor for review and decision to choose which one, so that the emperor's time and energy can be greatly saved in the near future, and these problems can also be dealt with very effectively.
The emperor thought about it, thought he was right, and agreed to the suggestion.
"Look, what about the election of this cabinet and the question of power?"
Rukawa Kaede stood in front of the bed and said the results he had come up with after thinking about it for the past three days.
"There are six or seven personnel, and there are six ministries of power, but they have no real power, they just have absolute power to discuss and make decisions in dealing with these national affairs, and they are just fictitious."
"What do you suggest for specific candidates?"
Isn't this an institution that realizes and weakens the six ministries, but the six ministries don't do things, and they should do the same, the empire can't tolerate any delays now, and such an institution is also for me and for the imperial court, yes, the emperor thought.
"The specific candidates still have to be decided by His Majesty, but the minister suggested that the personnel are all selected from the Hanlin Academy, and the first assistant of the cabinet may be able to use Su Jinzhi, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion (equivalent to the emperor's secretary and staff officer)."
Su Jinzhi, the champion of the second year of the Apocalypse, is an honest official, has strong ability, and has sufficient qualifications, which Liuchuan Feng learned through this period of time in combination with his own audit and inspection, so I recommend this talent here to make it more useful.
"Su Jinzhi?"
"Yes, it is him, and the minister believes that he will be able to share the worries of His Majesty."
"Yes, he is quite thoughtful and meticulous, and he has always been loyal, so he will be selected first, and what about the rest?"
"Then it will be personally selected by Your Majesty, after all, the nephew has a limited understanding of the affairs of the imperial court, and Your Majesty will definitely be able to select better talents to share the worries of the imperial court."
"Okay, then you have to work hard first, serve as a cabinet member, and then replace you when there is a suitable candidate in the future."
"I can share my majesty's worries, and my nephews dare not do my duty."
"Okay, you go back first, tomorrow at noon, the cabinet will be formed, and when I am not there in the future, you will also be there, you will take this pile of folds for approval first, leave the approval opinion, and wait for me to make a judgment."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"By the way, what progress have you made on the assassination?"
"This matter is mainly examined by Lord Yu himself, and it is said that there are already some eyebrows."
"Okay, you can go back and rest too, about your marriage, the queen will bother to arrange, you can go to the harem if you have time in the next two days."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Go on, the family is still so polite, when no one is there in the future, you don't want to be so polite."
"Yes."
Leaving the emperor's bedroom, Rukawa Kaede was so preoccupied that he had forgotten about the matter with Lechuan Eve, and he was about to turn to the harem to see the beautiful woman and talk about the troubles of the past three days.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw an old acquaintance, and the thumb of the man who didn't talk much stood in front of him.
"Got a clue? What about the Smoke and Rain Building? Rukawa Kaede asked.
Thumbs nodded and didn't speak.
"Let's go, you've come to me in person, you must have something important to say to Lord Yu."
The two didn't communicate anymore, rode horses, and quickly rushed to the Jinyiwei prison.
Number One has been tortured to the point of being inhuman.
Yuhuatai drank tea in the next room, looking quite leisurely.
"You're here."
"I'm coming."
"Sit."
"If Lord Yu has anything important, don't sell it, I can't wait to use one day as two days now."
"There's no need to be in a hurry, there's no urgency, it's better to sit down and drink tea slowly, and then think of a solution to the problem."
"That's right, then drink tea."
"He did." Yuhuatai took a sip of tea and said with a smile.
"Oh? is worthy of Lord Yu, it is really powerful, and the younger brother admires it. ”
When he came in, he saw a bald head hanging miserably on a pole, and now he finally understood, that was No. 1, the assassin who was captured alive, but he never imagined that the powerful and forbearant No. 1 would be turned into this appearance, which made him feel a little numb in his heart, and he felt a chill at Yuhuatai's methods, and also re-examined this smiling fat boss, and found that he was no different from before.
"You should have guessed that he is the person from Yanyu Building."
"I didn't know, but I'll know after you say it."
"Yanyulou is an organization that secretly rebels against the imperial court, and it is also the largest assassin organization in the rivers and lakes, this guy is just one of them, a small group leader."
"As far as I know, he is a member of the royal family of the former dynasty."
"Yes, he called himself Huamancheng, but Huamancheng was engulfed by a fire that year, he said that he escaped by luck, so it also led to a big change in appearance, and then he simply went to Gutuo Temple to be a monk, incognito, in order to wait for revenge in the future."
"Do you think he's telling the truth?"
"In front of me, there is no one who dares to tell a lie!"
"Then did he have any information about Yanyu Tower?"
"He said he wouldn't say it until you came." Yuhuatai was still smiling, but the afterglow in his eyes glanced at the young man opposite.
"Well, why is that?"
"I don't know about that, so you understand why I want you to come."
"In that case, let's go over and ask for clarification."
Rukawa Kaede had many thoughts in his mind.
