In a dormitory in the Qianqing Palace, Wei Zhongxian crouched in front of the apocalypse and cried, generally the crying old man would get people's sympathy, but now Tan Jing, Wang Tiqian, Yang Gongchun and others who were standing beside the apocalypse looked indifferently, as if they were watching a not very wonderful performance. The surrounding eunuchs were all gone, and only a few lamps remained, flickering with Wei Zhongxian's suppressed cry. Tianqi quietly looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling in front of him and wept bitterly, and said slowly when he cried a little quieter: "The Hakka rebellion has confessed to the law, but she is my nurse, so I don't want to make a show, you can go and worship when you have time." ”

After hearing the words of the apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian's crying became louder, and he cried: "Your Majesty, the slave doesn't know what she has done, and it has nothing to do with the slave." ”

Apocalypse said coldly, "What about it? What if it doesn't matter? It's best for a person not to make mistakes, and if she makes a mistake, don't let people catch her, but none of this matters, the most important thing is not to admit it, no one can save her if she confesses her guilt. ”

Hearing what Tianqi said, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but be a little surprised, blinked those goldfish eyes, and felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

Apocalypse smiled and said, "I know that you have a share in everything she does, and you are also a bad person, and the only thing you do better than her is that you never admit that you are a bad person." Don't be nervous, I don't distinguish between good and bad people, only useful and useless. ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly asked, "What does the emperor want his servants to do?" ”

Apocalypse approvingly: "Clever! I need you to go to Nanjing, help me find out the family background of the officials of the DPRK and China, and you can take 200 of the bad brothers in your Dongchang gang. But you have to remember that don't let people catch you if you do bad things in Nanjing, because the people there hate you very much and you will die if you catch them. ”

Wei Zhongxian said blankly: "Isn't it more convenient in Beijing?" Dongchang and Jinyiwei are also easy to use. ”

Tianqi said: "I will announce tomorrow that the East Factory will only have the right to investigate and not arrest in the future, and Jinyiwei can cooperate with the East Factory but is not under the control." And you'd better go to Nanjing, because Yang Lian and the people you drove home are coming back, and you like to face their anger? ”

Yang Lian is a person who makes Wei Zhongxian have nightmares when he thinks about it, and he is an organized person who is a member of the Donglin Party. Last year, Wei Zhongxian took advantage of the apocalypse to do carpentry work in a daze, and he pretended to pass on the holy decree to clean up the Donglin Party and drove Yang Lian and others back to his hometown. Thinking that Yang Lian and the other Donglin Party were going to come back as a return group to liquidate themselves, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but shudder, nodded again and again and asked, "In what name did the slave go?" When to go? Where to start? ”

Tianqi said: "I will say to the outside world that you have been demoted to Nanjing for residential surveillance, and by the way, you will guard the tomb of Taizu, and internally, you are still the commander of Dongchang." After going to Nanjing, he first set up an office to check the case of various state capitals, and all those involving the rich and courtiers were recorded. ”

Wei Zhongxian said proudly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the slave is the best at finding someone to do it, and the slave will never let you down, and the slave also knows that there are people in the Donglin Party who are not clean, and many people's family property is also rich and rivals the country." ”

Apocalypse nodded and said, "It's because you have a whole set of people that I sent you, do a good job and don't let me down." Your family property has been copied, after going to Nanjing, earn it slowly, don't earn too much, just don't attract people's attention and be copied again, I also have a hatred of the rich. At the end, Apocalypse had an imperceptible smile on his face.

Wei Zhongxian's mouth was open, and once again he felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

Wang Tiqian sent Wei Zhongxian out of the palace, first took him to the Hakka tomb to pay respects, and then recalled the deep friendship that the two had formed for a long time, and then watched several carriages carrying Wei Zhongxian and his entourage disappear into the vast night. After returning to the palace, he went to report to the apocalypse and asked:

"Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian went to Nanjing, so who is in charge of the personnel of the East Factory in Beijing?"

Tianqi said: "There will be no Dongchang in Beijing in the future, send those who have a good relationship with Wei Zhongxian to him every now and then, and place your internal eunuchs on the land in Dong'anmen, and change the name to Neiwei together with the rest of the original Dongchang, and Yang Gongchun will manage it for other purposes." ”

Looking at Wang Tiqian's puzzled eyes, Tianqi said: "Wei Zhongxian will rectify the person, and I will spare his life and let him go to Nanjing; Yang Gongchun also showed his talent during the day, so he let him enter the Sili to supervise the internal guard. Besides, you are already the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, so let go of the little things and let your subordinates do them well, isn't it good to be happy? ”

The next day, just after dawn, outside the noon gate of the palace, there were all kinds of sedan chairs of all sizes, and Li Qiyuan, the secretary of the household department, saw a blue sedan chair parked not far in front of him, and the sedan chair man opened the sedan curtain after the ceremonial department Shangshu Lin Yaoyu came out of it. Li Qiyuan stepped forward and greeted, "Lord Lin, it's early." ”

Lin Yaoyu saw that it was Li Qiyuan, who was a junior high school student earlier than him, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Master Li, you are earlier, let's go in together?" ”

Li Qiyuan said happily: "That's exactly what I mean. ”

After walking for a while, Li Qiyuan said: "Lord Lin, the emperor asked King Xin to serve in the Wenhua Hall from now on, according to the rules, this Wenhua Hall should be the place where the prince is the director, is there anything to say about it?" ”

Lin Yaoyu squinted his eyes and looked at Li Qiyuan and said: "If it was in the past, Xia Guan thought that he could look at the emperor who was tired of carpentry work and wanted to play some new tricks, but yesterday he won Wei Zhongxian quietly, and this hand makes people feel unfathomable. ”

Li Qiyuan said: "Have you heard? Not only was the Hakka family raided yesterday, but she herself was buried by the emperor's order last night with her brother and son. ”

Lin Yaoyu nodded and said: "The emperor has grown up, and the stones blocking the road naturally have to be moved, and people who don't know how to be interested deserve to die." ”

Li Qiyuan asked: "Lord Yilin, will the emperor remove a few more stones that stand in the way today?" ”

At this moment, someone from behind asked, "The road in this palace is very smooth, where did the stone come from?" ”

The two of them were shocked and looked back and saw that it was Cui Jingrong, the secretary of the ministry, and Li Qiyuan said: "It turned out to be Lord Cui, and Lord Cui's demeanor yesterday made the officials very impressed!" ”

Cui Jingrong shook his head and said: "As a minister, I have no choice but to fight with Eunuch and his lackeys, which makes the two adults laugh. But have you heard? Wei Gelding was sent to Nanjing by the emperor overnight, I don't know if those people who are close to Wei Gelding will be swept out today? ”

Lin Yaoyu shook his head and said, "The gentleman's heart is unpredictable, didn't Master Li see that Gu Shoufu and the others who were walking in front of him were bent over their waists so badly?" ”

Li Qiyuan laughed and said: "Talk less and listen more today, maybe there will be another good show to watch." ”

The ministers greeted each other after entering the palace, and soon after the apocalypse arrived, after everyone saw the ceremony, the apocalypse said: "From today onwards, the government affairs yuan will be set up in the Wenhua Palace, which is the office of the prime minister. King Xin, come up and sit down next to your brother to receive the congratulatory gifts from the ministers. ”

King Xin was slightly stunned, then clenched his fists and stepped forward to sit on a stool in front of the apocalypse, pursed his lips and did not speak. Tianqi stretched out his hand and gently patted King Xin's shoulder and said, "From today onwards, King Xin will handle all government affairs on behalf of me, and everyone has come to see Prime Minister Wang. ”

The ministers stepped forward to congratulate: "Congratulations to King Xin, I have met Prime Minister Wang." ”

King Xin returned the salute with a little excitement, and said: "Thank you princes and ministers, this king will do his best to live up to the emperor's expectations, all the ministers are the pillars of this dynasty, and this king usually admires him very much, and I hope that everyone will help and teach me." Hearing what the king said, the people all spoke modest and polite words.

Just when King Xin and his ministers were politely complimenting each other, Tianqi said coldly:

"From today, the Cabinet will be divided into two parts, the Legislative Affairs Division and the Law Division, to cooperate with the Prime Minister and the Council, so if you don't understand anything, just ask."

The words of the apocalypse surprised everyone, and the smile on the faces of the ministers that was still on their faces immediately turned into surprise, dismantle the cabinet? This emperor really dares to play!

Zhu Yanxi, the crown prince and a scholar of the Jianji Palace, first asked: "Dare to ask the emperor, will the cabinet be under the jurisdiction of the Government Council after the split?" ”

Tianqi said: "In the future, there will be no cabinet, and only the government affairs will be handled by the government affairs Yuan." ”

It turned out that it was not to dismantle the cabinet but to abolish the cabinet, Zhu Yanxi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no!" This is not in line with the ancestral system! ”
