The first meeting of the Cabinet went very smoothly.

Under the manipulation of Premier Zhou Yanru, the turmoil was not alarmed, and everything went very smoothly.

As soon as the cabinet meeting ended, Zhou Yanru issued a document in the name of the cabinet.

The six ministries and nine temples have been preparing for a long time, and as soon as the text arrived, the integration quickly began, and the transfer and configuration of officials began in an orderly manner.

In the afternoon, the Cabinet began to summon officials at all levels to talk to ensure smooth implementation. At the same time, some newly appointed officials are 'interviewed', which is a kind of procedure.

Today's cabinet really holds the supreme power of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can resist or oppose it.

What is missing, that is, the last step: the Holy Decree.

These will need to be promulgated at the same time as the change of the yuan next year.

Due to the three divisions and Jinyiwei, the East Factory is still arresting people on a large scale, and there is no opposition, and some are also in the dark.

Zhou Zheng's expedition to the west corridor is handled from the side of the cabinet and enters the so-called 'prime minister's compound', which is still called the cabinet outside.

His class room is one east and one west with Zhou Yanru, occupying the largest room, and there are many decorations in it.

The military intelligence office and staff office in the west corridor of the expedition are also in the room outside Zhou Zheng's squad room. Although the expedition to the west corridor has disappeared, everyone knows that the real power of the Ming army is still in the hands of Zhou Zheng.

Chu Jin was busy, going in and out of various rooms.

Yao Tongshun, as Zhou Zheng's personal secretary, also has a small class room that belongs to him, and he is just as busy.

Zhou Zhengze was in the class room, meeting with Lu Daqi, Yu Huaiyuan and others, these are the feudal officials and governors of a province that Zhou Zheng is looking for, and they need their strong support for changing the law in the local area.

Lu Daqi was a half-hundred-year-old man who seemed to be honest, he sat under Zhou Zheng, his expression was a little solemn, and said: "My lord, the situation of Nanzhili mobilized by the lower officials from the six departments, not to mention the staggered power, the checks and balances are complicated, if you want to change, you must vigorously break down these barriers......

Nanjing is the old capital, accompanied by the capital, with a complete imperial court system, it can be said that Beijing has, Nanjing has it, the only difference is that the emperor is in Beijing.

But Nanjing still has six departments and nine temples, with the eunuchs guarding the town, with the military department Shangshu, and a similar to the British Duke more Wei Guogong, Nanjing has soldiers, and the full strength is not in the Beijing Imperial Court, but in Nanjing's town guarding eunuchs, the military department Shangshu, Wei Guogong is in the hands!

Obviously, Lu Daqi did not know that Zhou Zheng had already made arrangements for Nanjing.

Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "Li Hengbing's governor of Nanzhili, at the end of the year, he will clear the obstacles for you, put aside the Nanjing court as much as possible, when you go next year, just pay attention to two places, one is tax, the other is land, as long as these two are stable, other problems can be solved slowly." ”

Lu Daqi didn't expect that Li Hengbing went to Nanzhili for this purpose, so he paused and said, "Yes, keep in mind the lower officials." These days, the lower officials have also checked the imperial court's outline of tax and land reforms, and the tax is okay, even if there is some resistance, the yamen always has a way to handle it. However, the land, the acres of land in Nanzhili, are all in the hands of high-ranking officials and nobles, and if you want to grab land from them, I am afraid that it will be difficult, and lawsuits will come to the capital at every turn. ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "I am here in the capital, you don't need to worry." The key is in you. Many people in the court are worried that your personality is a little weak, and you will retreat when you encounter problems, which will drag down the reform of the law. ”

Lu Daqi stood up violently, raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officials will clearly distinguish the importance and the severity, and they will definitely not take half a step back!" For my Daming Zhongxing, even if one day the sword and axe are added, the lower officials will be calm! ”

Zhou Zheng saw Lu Daqi's determination, nodded approvingly, pressed his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and then turned to Yu Huaiyuan, and said, "The northwest is a place of long-term chaos, and the focus of the imperial court's attention. When you go to Sichuan, it was decided that I had discussed it with Yuanfu for a long time. Sichuan is the land of abundance, you have to find a way to restore the people's livelihood, you are not required to contribute much to the imperial court, at least you can be self-sufficient......"

Yu Huaiyuan leaned over, looked solemn, and said, "Xiaguan understands." This will definitely live up to the trust of adults, revitalize Sichuan, and lay the cornerstone of stability in the northwest! ”

Zhou Zheng smiled lightly, looked at the other people, and instructed them one by one.

These are all talents selected by Sun Chuanting, Zhang Heyi and others from the sea of people and screened several times.

In the end, Zhou Zhengdao: "Come to my house at night and practice it for you, and Sun Shilang and others will also come." ”

Several people hurriedly got up and raised their hands in response.

Zhou Zheng is busy here, Zhou Yanru is even busier, his strength in the government and the opposition is much stronger than Zhou Zheng, not to mention the first assistant who has entered the cabinet twice, just the background and relationship network are not comparable to Zhou Zheng.

In addition, this time the imperial court, the local action is too big, and there are too many relationships to sort out, Zhou Yanru took this opportunity to wantonly cultivate private individuals, expand the power network, and take the position in his hand, almost not letting go.

Zhou Yanru's class room is also quite large, going in and out inside and outside, and the flow of people is like weaving.

Zhou Yanru wants to seize power, and there are too many people who want to be official, and I don't know how many people come to the door directly, but they are still stopped a lot.

Finally found a gap, Fan Wenjing took a notebook and went in, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the joint transcript of the Nanjing Ministry of Shangshu." ”

Zhou Yanru wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "What do they want to do?" Didn't I warn them not to act rashly in times of crisis? ”

Fan Wenjing sighed in his heart and said, "Yuanfu should take a look." ”

Zhou Yanru took it, opened it and looked at it, his eyes suddenly opened, his face was shocked, he looked up at Fan Wenjing, and said, "Who did it?" ”

Fan Wenjing said: "I don't know, it's Pan Shangshu on the surface." ”

This is a joint recital, quoting scriptures to oppose the reform of the imperial court, accusing some people in the imperial court of using the banner of innovation, wanting to monopolize the government when the emperor is young and unable to govern in person, exclude dissidents, and use power for personal gain!

This recital is not named, but between the lines it is all aimed at Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng was sharpening his knives over there, he was afraid that there would be fewer excuses, but these people were desperately sending Zhou Zheng a handle, were they slow to death? !

Zhou Yanru's face turned pale, and he said, "What else is there besides this script?" ”

Fan Wenjing paused for a while and said, "Li Hengbing has arrived in Suzhou two days ago, calculate the time, it's almost time." ”

Zhou Yanru's brows tightened, for a long time, he snorted angrily, and said, "You can't live if you do your own evil!" ”

Fan Wenjing hesitated and said: "My lord, what can be saved can still be saved, Nan Zhili is not trivial, if you let Xi Boshi do it, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Zhou Yanru also saw the situation in the capital, the corners of his face were gloomy and about to drip water, he thought about it and said, "I will write a few letters, you send them to Yingtian immediately, and let Chen Yan set off to Yingtian immediately, day and night, and must stop those people from messing around!" ”

Fan Wenjing raised his hand and said, "Yes." ”
