Chapter 813: King Jing enters the cabinet

After Zhu Xu said this, he picked up the teacup and blew it gently.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong looked at each other with a solemn expression.

They all know that the emperor in front of them does not follow the rules of etiquette, but the matter of the prince interfering in politics is not only a matter of etiquette, but also involves the stability of the society. This is after learning the lessons of the previous dynasties, Taizu decided that once a gap is opened, I don't know how much blood and rain will be there in the future, and the royal family will be on the wall.

Bi Ziyan thought about it again and again, but still spoke: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that King Jing is already the limit in the Governor's Yuan, and if he enters the cabinet, the society will be unstable. ”

Zhu Xu had already known their rhetoric, laughed, turned his head to look at Liu Shimin, and said, "Is King Lu here?" ”

Liu Shimin said, "It should be soon, the slave and maid sent someone to urge." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, an errand officer from outside walked in quickly and said, "Your Majesty, King Lu asks to see you." ”

Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan and said, "This says Cao Cao Cao will arrive, let him come in." ”

"Yes." The messenger answered, turned and went out.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong were very puzzled, and they didn't know why they called King Lu at this time, but they didn't speak and waited.

King Lu strode in, saluted Zhu Xu, and said, "The minister will see the emperor." ”

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Well, sit down, I am discussing the matter of King Jing with the two adults, you are Zongren Mansion Zongzheng, let's talk about it." ”

King Lu sat down under Bi Ziyan's head, glanced at the few people seated, his eyes flickered slightly, and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that King Jing is in the Sacred Heart." ”

The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed, this King Lu has now learned to figure out his intentions, and turned to look at Bi Ziyan and said, "Master Bi, tell me what you think." ”

Bi Ziyan didn't know what Zhu Xu was going to do, glanced at King Lu, and said: "The emperor hopes that King Jing will enter the cabinet to participate in politics, and we think that the prince of the clan should not encroach too much, otherwise the society will be uneasy and the country will be unstable." ”

When King Lu heard this, he immediately understood, took out a playbook from his arms, stood up and said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, these are some of the ministers' opinions on the patriarchal law, and I also ask the emperor to take a look." ”

Liu Shimin stepped forward, took it, and handed it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu took it over, opened it and took a look, sure enough, King Lu wrote it according to his meaning, an elaboration of 'there is a grandson, there is no grandson, and the brother is the end of the brother', and there is a sequence, one of which is particularly interesting: 'Within three generations, Mo can be outside', that is to say, those who can inherit the throne must be within three generations, and strictly in order.

For this kind of succession system, for the current Ming Dynasty, it will definitely cause huge opposition, even if it is a kind of 'specific elaboration' on the basis of 'patriarchal law', the actual inheritance rules are also like this, but in essence it still violates Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's 'primogeniture inheritance system'.

Another disadvantage is that this will intensify the struggle within the royal family, and the Nine Dragons in the Kangxi period in history will inevitably appear, becoming a huge internal friction of the dynasty, just thinking of the situation in Nanming, Zhu Xu believes that this kind of succession law must be implemented!

Zhu Xu looked at it without moving, changed his mind in his heart, and handed it to Bi Ziyan for a while, saying, "Master Bi will also take a look." ”

Bi Ziyan stretched out his hand to take it, glanced at Zhu Xu with a slight gaze, looked down at the notebook, and immediately his brows tightened.

Even if King Lu's recital is based on the patriarchal law of 'having a grandson, no grandson and a long, brother to the end of the brother and' to elaborate, or perfect, but in fact it is still a challenge to the 'eldest son', weakening the particularity of the 'eldest son', and giving others 'opportunities' and 'delusions'.

After reading it, Bi Ziyan did not speak immediately, and handed the recital to Sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong glanced at him, looked down at the notebook, and after a while, his expression was slightly gloomy, and he looked up at Zhu Xu.

He pondered for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this 'succession law' should not be announced, and I am afraid of acting on old things such as Song Taizu and Song Taizong." ”

The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth moved slightly, but he was afraid that what Sun Chengzong wanted to say was that it was 'the old thing of becoming an ancestor', that is, the Battle of Jingyan, which was a knot in the heart of the Ming Dynasty, a recognized scar that he did not want to mention.

King Lu glanced at Zhu Xu and answered, "Xiao Wang doesn't think so, with this clear inheritance method, we can prevent some old things from happening again, so that the court and the clan can work together, without too much fear and concern, the 'national capital' will not happen again, stabilize the country, and the royal family will be stable." ”

Sun Chengzong, Bi Ziyan frowned, the big reason is to say this, but the actual situation is often not, they must use the most resolute method to prevent all things that endanger the stability and order of the throne from happening!

"Your Majesty......" Bi Ziyan thought about it for a while, and said: "Please discuss this matter for the time being, and give the cabinet some time to discuss......

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "I have been here like this for more than two hundred years, and I just laid out the order, so there is nothing to be nervous about." About King Jing's entry into the cabinet...... In the third row, the Kato Pavilion University Scholar, custom, the Governor's Yuan is held by the prince other than three generations, one term is three years, and the maximum term is two consecutive terms...... Well, so be it, no more talking! ”

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong was stunned, thinking carefully, although he was still very uncomfortable in his heart, the emperor's arrangement could indeed prevent the prince from interfering in politics and threatening the stability of the imperial family, and it should also be the emperor's biggest concession.

Bi Ziyan's heart churned for a while, he took a deep breath, and said to Zhu Xu, "Your Majesty, the matter is very important at this time, regarding the edict and will, please draft it by the cabinet." ”

The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed, and he said with a smile: "Master Bi said so, I can't refute it, well, after the draft is sent to the imperial study, after I stamp it, it will also be promulgated by the cabinet, and it will be ...... in the future." For non-major matters, government decrees are issued by the cabinet! ”

Hearing that 'all government decrees are out of the cabinet', Bi Ziyan's 'injured' heart finally felt a lot of comfort, and he hurriedly got up and said, "Obey the order." ”

Zhu Xu completed a few things in a row, and he was very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "Then it's decided, adding a King Jing to the cabinet should be of great benefit to the 'New Deal', but there are still fewer people in the cabinet, and you should also look for them." ”

"Yes." Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong both responded with some duplicity. They all knew by now that the emperor had a comprehensive consideration for the cabinet, and it was not for them to intervene.

Zhu Xu looked at the cabinet again, and said: "This place is too small, you come up with an idea to rebuild and expand this cabinet, after all, it is the place where my prime minister is in power, it can't be too shabby, all kinds of institutions, directly subordinate yamen, have to move in, reorganize it, these yamen of my Ming Dynasty are still too messy......"

For these, Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong had no opinions, and nodded in response.

Zhu Xu explained a few more words, and then got up and left the cabinet.

In the cabinet hall, there are only Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, and Zhang Wenda, none of whom are pedantic people, and the current situation requires them to 'adapt' to deal with it and block the mouth of the world.

Bi Ziyan glanced at Zhang Wenda, and said in a deep voice to Sun Chengzong, "The matter has come to this, and I can only let King Jing enter the cabinet." ”

Sun Chengzong had a calm face and nodded.

They can't stop it, think about it from another angle, King Jing does have many benefits to enter the cabinet, stabilizing the clan is on the one hand, on the other hand, it can also vigorously promote the Governor's Yuan, once the Governor's Yuan is completed, the cabinet's control over the world will be further increased, and the speed of 'new' promotion will be greatly accelerated.

"Then promote King Jing on the grounds of 'breaking the rules', and in addition, the restrictions on the 'Governor's Yuan' must also be clearly laid out, so as not to arouse the delusions of some people......" Bi Ziyan said.

"I'll draft it!" Sun Chengzong said. This is an extraordinary purpose, and if he is not careful, it may cause great disaster in the future, and he must be very cautious and not fake the hands of others.

Bi Ziyan didn't say much, turned his head to Zheng Youyuan and said, "Invite King Jing, this official wants to talk to him." ”

In the past, there were only two people in the cabinet, and they could ask for six departments in terms of 'identity', and one end of the Governor's Yuan, and now that King Jing has entered the cabinet, these identities and relationships must be sorted out.

"Yes." Zheng You came in from outside. He glanced at Bi Ziyan with some meaning, but did not make a sound. Today, the emperor seems to have come for King Jing, but he didn't mention anything about things outside the palace, and obviously had other plans - today's things are not over!

Bi Ziyan didn't seem to see it, and he still thought to himself.

King Jing's entry into the cabinet will have an impact on the cabinet, especially the current relationship between the court, and if Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others are transferred again, the impact will be even greater.

'Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others did not enter the cabinet, but King Jing entered the cabinet, what is the emperor going to do? He said that there would be more people, and who else would be able to join the cabinet? ’

Bi Ziyan's heart was wandering, and it was difficult to calm down.

Zhu Xu walked on the way back, stopped in front of the Qianqing Palace, put his hands behind his back, and looked at it from afar.

He has been living in Jingyang Palace, this huge Qianqing Palace has been empty for a long time, and now it is empty, and half a figure can not be seen.

Liu Shimin stood beside Zhu Xu, his heart moved slightly, but he didn't speak.

The Qianqing Palace has always been the residence of the emperor and the most important place of office, which has been vacant for several years.

"Say, isn't it time for me to move in?" Zhu Xu said to himself, next year he will get married, pro-government, and he can't live in Jingyang Palace all the time.

"The slave thinks that it is okay now, and by the end of the year, it should be able to be completely moved." Liu Shimin said.

Although the two palaces are not far away, they can be cleaned up, redecorated, and moved again.

Zhu Xu felt a sense of pride in his heart, straightened his chest, and said, "Then move, let people clean up!" ”

"Yes." Liu Shimin said.

Zhu Xu turned around and left, returning to Jingyang Palace. Before he could take a few steps, an internal supervisor hurriedly came, holding a note, and said, "Your Majesty, the flying pigeon on the navy's side has passed the book, and General Cao has returned to Fu. Built, the old port, Luzon was basically disposed of. ”

"Hmm," Zhu Xu didn't answer the note, calculated the time in his heart, and said: "It's time to come back, tell him, let him leave for Beijing immediately, hurry up!" ”

"Yes." Liu Shimin said.

Hearing that Cao Wenzhao was coming back, Zhu Xu felt a little more confident, walked a few steps, and said, "Let Lu Xiangsheng also enter Beijing." ”

"Yes." Liu Shimin said.
