Li Youtang knew that Bi Ziyan not only had to say, but also might have to make some arrangements and prepare for certain things. Most of these things are not liked today.

Li Youtang knows well about Bi Ge Lao's hard work, but now he is sitting too high and seeing some things too clearly, no matter how careful Bi Ziyan is, he may not be able to hide it from him.

Li Youtang understood Bi Ziyan's stubbornness, and still persuaded: "My lord, I have always been lenient to my own people today, as long as you don't do something that makes him unbearable, the monarch and the ministers are suitable, and it is inevitable to enjoy your old age in peace, if you do, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the emperor to die well." ”

Bi Ziyan picked up the wine glass in his hand and said directly: "Fang Kongzhi will be transferred to the Ministry of Rites, Chen Qiyu will take over as the governor of Jiangsu, Xu Jie will be transferred to the governor of Shuntian, Zheng Youyuan will be transferred to Nanzhili to participate in politics, and you will be the secretary of the cabinet." ”

Li Youtang listened to Bi Ziyan's words, knew that he was arranging what happened after Zhishi in advance, thought about it, and said: "Boss, if you are Zhishi, Master Sun will definitely not be far away, Elder Baigu Pavilion has many conflicts with your ideas, if he is the first assistant, the court situation, the national politics may not be so stable." ”

Bi Ziyan looked up at the sky, the moonlight of this night was exceptionally cold, and the temperature was colder than usual, so he picked up another glass of wine and drank it all.

Li Youtang looked at Bi Ziyan, who had never liked to drink, and his expression finally became solemn, and he admonished seriously: "Boss, you have to think twice, I am already very patient with you now, if you cross certain boundaries, I am afraid that your years of accumulation will be in vain, and all these arrangements will disappear overnight, useless." ”

Bi Ziyan still didn't speak, just drank silently.

Some things can be said to Li Youtang, and some can't.

Li Youtang sighed in his heart and said, "My lord, the future situation is on three people, one is Sun Chuanting, one is Fu Changzong, and the other is Cao Wenzhao. ”

"Not necessarily!"

Bi Ziyan suddenly put down the wine glass heavily, straightened up his rickety body, then stood up, turned around and left, and said in a clear voice, "Do your own thing." ”

Li Youtang looked at Bi Ziyan's back, his eyes were complicated.

The contradiction between the two people lies in the design of national politics.

He endures the 'short-sightedness' of others, and others endure his 'foresight'.

After a long time, Li Youtang sighed lightly and said to himself: "I hope that the emperor will remember the years of hard work of the old man and give the adult a decent result." ”

After three days of the Lantern Festival, the annual holiday ended, and all departments began to go to work, and the implementation of this year's government affairs plan began.

The first is the appointment and dismissal of officials, except for the six Shangshu and cabinet assistants, the others have undergone large-scale changes, and then the local, local governors, the governors began to rotate, Fang Kongzhi was transferred to Beijing as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Qiyu was transferred to the governor of Jiangsu, Xu Jie was transferred to the governor of Shuntian, etc., basically in accordance with the plan of Bi Ziyan and others.

Then there is the confirmation of the system, the Ming Prime Minister Cabinet Yamen drafted, approved by the parliament, signed by the emperor, determined that the Ming system is the imperial system, and the three powers are separated under the imperial system.

The confirmation of this system changed the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty and established a new system.

Zhu Xu's reform has gone through more than 10 years, and the confirmation of this system is basically a matter of course, without any constraints.

The newspapers and newspapers at all levels began to report on the new system one after another, calling it a great system to ensure that the Ming Dynasty was "300 years ahead of the world", and it must be firm and persistent.

For the imperial court to indeed change the ancestral system, it naturally attracted a large number of strong criticism from stubborn old people.

The places where literati gathered in the Ming Dynasty, especially those places of wind and moon, once again attracted the business dynasty, shouting and scolding, and naturally a group of romantic talents and famous prostitutes were born from afar.

By the beginning of February, the voices had largely calmed down and become less harsh, and the imperial court had gradually become accustomed to sending those notebooks and letters into the garbage box.

With the gradual stabilization of a series of things, some rumors about the imperial court are once again in the dust.

Among them, the most eagerness is that Bi Ziyan is about to become a leader, and it is getting more and more intense, and the entire court situation is affected.

Qianqing Palace, South Study.

Xinjian Bowang Xiantong is teaching several princes, and his speech is still very simple, and it is still an enlightenment book, but the three children have their own performances.

Zhu Ciye was serious, and his expression was solemn. Zhu Cixuan moved around, if it weren't for Zhu Xu sitting outside the window, he probably couldn't help it. Zhu Ciyi seemed a little absent-minded, looking at the book, listening to the class, listless.

Next to Zhu Xu stood Bi Ziyan, also looking at several princes.

Zhu Xu looked at it for a while, quietly turned around and left, shook his head and said, "I don't have these sons." ”

Bi Ziyan walked a few steps with him and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness is still young, and there is time. ”

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, turned to Dongnuan Pavilion, and said, "They have time, and Master Bi also has it, don't worry." ”

Bi Ziyan listened to Zhu Xu's words, pondered, and didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, so he said: "Your Majesty, this year's financial situation is getting better, some things can be done, and the minister plans to go to Jiangzuo in person." ”

The biggest difficulty of the Ming Dynasty's 'New Deal' was in Nanzhili, whether it was paying taxes per mu, measuring land, or commercial tax reform, etc., all encountered invisible, majestic resistance.

Zhu Xu said: "Let Zhang Bingwen go to this matter, he is upright and will not make trouble, Chen Qiyu may not be able to stand firm when he comes out of Yingtian, let Zhang Bingwen help him establish his authority." ”

Bi Ziyan listened to his words, sighed lightly in his heart, and knew that he was really leaving, so he said: "Your Majesty, the Shuaifu plans to transfer Cao Wenzhao to Yunnan to suppress bandits, and by the way, take a look at Siam, the minister agrees, I don't know what the emperor wants?" ”

Zhu Xu slowed down and did not answer immediately.

About the crown prince, about Bi Ziyan Zhishi, etc., there are rumors outside, the court situation is gradually unstable, people's hearts are floating, rumors are spreading, some people are taking the opportunity to cause chaos, seeking personal gain, and some are blatant.

Zhu Xu knew all this, but he didn't intend to care, and even deliberately connived.

- Since you want to shuffle the cards, let's shuffle them thoroughly!

"I agree."

After walking for a while, Zhu Xu said: "Let Cao Wenzhao go to Yunnan, Siam, Burma have to take a look, Dolgon's side should also pay attention, I want to see the strength of Cao Wenzhao's first royal army." ”

Bi Ziyan looked slightly suspicious, it stands to reason that if he wants to be a servant, then Sun Chengzong will not be too far away, Cao Wenzhao, as his successor, why should he be sent to Yunnan?

Bi Ziyan was a little uncertain in his heart, and couldn't guess what Zhu Xu was going to do, so he groaned for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet is still short of one person, and the minister recommended Shen Yongmao to join the cabinet." ”
