After Li Huazhen finished speaking, he left, leaving the ministers of the first hall, and their eyes were on 'Erzhou'.

Zhou Yanru had just 'forced back' Zhou Zheng, and he wouldn't ask for anything more at this time, glancing at the other courtiers who seemed to be close at hand, and said to Zhou Zheng: "What do you want to do?" ”

Zhou Zheng had planned these things for a long time, but now that they were finally implemented, he was too lazy to talk to Zhou Yanru and glanced at Gao Hongtu.

Gao Hongtu understood, stepped forward and raised his hand and said: "Yuanfu, King Jin, King Lu and others descended to thieves and plotted rebellion, but it is meaningless to forgive the big sin, cut off the clan, and destroy the family." ”

The extermination of the clan is a major event in all dynasties, and it will not be killed unless it is absolutely necessary. During the reign of Xuanzong, the king of Han rebelled, but it was also a captivity.

But think about it deeply, how did Chengzu get the country? It was nothing more than Emperor Jianwen wanting to cut the domain, which caused panic from Zhu Di, who was still the king of Yan, and then launched the 'Battle of Jingyan' and seized the world of Emperor Jianwen.

Everyone listened to Gao Hongtu's words, and their hearts were full of thoughts and worries, but they did not refute it.

At this time, the four kings such as King Jin and King Lu could not be saved.

Zhou Yanru was expressionless and continued to look at Zhou Zheng.

Gao Hongtu knew his role, raised his hand, bowed his body, lowered his head, and continued: "King Zhou, King Liao and others are sympathetic to celebrate the New Year, and they are willing to hand over the palace to fill the treasury and tide over the difficulties with the country. The emperor was deeply pleased, and repeatedly refused, but he agreed. The household department and the official department discussed together, and they were also pleased and excited by the loyalty of the clan, and they should indeed set an example for the world, and asked the head of the Yuan and Fu to approve to fulfill their hearts. ”

This Zhou Yanru already knew, his brows furrowed, he didn't look at Gao Hongtu, stared at Zhou Zhengdao: "I will talk to them one by one, if any of them are unwilling, they can't be forced." ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, and stared at Zhou Yanru with fierce eyes.

Zhou Yanru wouldn't tear his face with Zhou Zheng at this time, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I can't let the people of the world think that Your Majesty is mean to the court." ”

Gao Hongtu glanced at the two big men, paused, and said, "Yuanfu, the Prime Minister's compound is about to be built, and it should be able to move in in three days, and the reform script has been sent to your class room." ”

Zhou Yanru's eyes finally turned to Gao Hongtu and said lightly: "Go on." ”

Gao Hongtu smacked his lips secretly, this old man really didn't see a rabbit or an eagle, so he had to say: "In order not to show the meanness of the court, the third division decided to leave two vassal kings and three ministers. ”

Zhou Yanru's expression eased slightly, then looked at Zhou Zheng again, and said, "Five people, I'll decide." ”

Gao Hongtu hurriedly continued, and said: "Back to Yuanfu, the three divisions have verified that there are two vassal kings, and the three ministers are not involved in the reverse case. ”

Gao Hongtu's meaning is very simple, five people have been chosen, and we have prepared to keep these five people before.

Zhou Yanru's face was pale, he felt that he was calculated by Zhou Zheng!

Zhou Zheng also had to go down the steps of Zhou Yanru, and so many people watched, and said with a smile: "Clan, after the noble rebellion, it is those civil and military ministers, these cases, Yuan Fu has to be in charge, and the lower officials will not be involved." ”

Zhou Yanru dared to believe Zhou Zheng again, and said directly: "I want the book of the Criminal Department." ”

The Criminal Department is the place where those rebels are held, and it is also the place of trial, with Qian Qianyi as the chief judge, plus the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, Zhou Yanru can compete with Zhou Zheng in these cases, and will not be completely passive.

Zhou Zheng sighed, but he didn't expect Zhou Yanru to make this request, and glanced at Li Hengbing.

Li Hengbing's expression was indifferent, and he stepped forward and said, "Yuanfu, are you going to depose the lower officials?" Isn't that why? ”

Zhou Yanru ignored him and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Chen Yan wants to resign, and the household department will give it to you." ”

Zhou Zheng was a little surprised at this time, the household department controls the world's money and grain, and the fields are mu, which is a real power department, which can be ranked with the ministry.

The household department and the official department correspond to power and money, and Zhou Yanru is willing to let go of the household department?

Gao Hongtu quickly understood, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Yuanfu, the household is full of holes and tatters, it is simply a big hole, you let go of the household, this is a pick......"

Zhou Yanru glanced at him with a flat expression, and said, "You are the head of the household, is it appropriate to speak like this?" ”

Gao Hongtu suddenly shut up, he said this, it is really inappropriate, but it is exciting!

Although the household department is a mess, it is indeed a big yamen, holding unimaginable power, if the household department is in their hands, it will definitely be a big help for their changes.

Therefore, he lowered his head, but quietly gave Zhou Zheng, Sun Chuanting and other envoys a look.

Sun Chuanting glanced at Chen Yan, who heard that Zhou Yanru was going to trade him, not only was he not angry, but he was a little happy?

Sun Chuanting saw that Zhou Zheng was still thinking, and stepped forward and said: "Yuanfu, the weight of the criminal department, and the household department is leaky, why don't you exchange it with the official department?" ”

In front of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the 'transaction' of official positions was openly discussed in private, which was unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty and even in all dynasties, right?

But no one present felt that there was anything wrong, at least not showing it.

Tian Zhenshu, Li Banghua and others were silent, even if they felt that something was wrong, they would not speak.

The Ming Dynasty is really broken and gone!

Zhou Yanru would hand over the ministry, pondered for a moment, and looked at Zhou Zhengdao: "Give it to me in Shuntianfu, and I will give you the Ministry of Works." ”

Zhou Zheng smiled, this Shoufu finally came to his senses, and he wanted the real power of the violent agency.

Shuntianfu controlled the capital, although there was no army, it could also balance Zhou Zheng to some extent.

Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Li Banghua has entered the cabinet, and I want the military department." ”

"No way!" Zhou Yanru flatly refused.

Zhou Zheng turned to Li Banghua with a smile and said, "Li Shangshu, I just said that Yuanfu doesn't like you, right?" ”

Li Banghua glanced at Zhou Yanru, bowed expressionlessly, and did not answer.

Zhou Yanru frowned, and explained quietly: "And today, the northwest thieves have not been eliminated, and the military department has a heavy responsibility, so it cannot be moved lightly." Li Shangshu is the person I like, when the northwest ends, he will enter the cabinet, you don't need to worry. ”

Zhou Zheng smiled, thought about it carefully, and said, "Li Hengbing, how do you arrange it?" ”

Zhou Yanru obviously had a draft, and said, "Hanlin Academy." Responsible for the emperor's teachings. ”

Hanlin Academy, this is a position with a high status and not much real power. Zhou Yanru will not allow Li Hengbing to enter the cabinet, and the arrangement of this position is actually a bit 'mean'.

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows, glanced at Li Hengbing, and said, "Li Shangshu? ”

Li Hengbing didn't expect Zhou Yanru to want to send him to the Hanlin Academy, and said expressionlessly: "The lower officials don't agree." ”

In Zhou Yanru's view, Li Hengbing was just a pawn in the transaction, and he didn't care, and said to Zhou Zheng: "Three days later, all the yamen moved out of the Forbidden City and into the prime minister's compound. ”
