Giving the power to choose people to the cabinet is something Zhu Yijun has long thought of, but in the end, he is still appointed, which does not affect the overall situation. Anyway, this time Zhu Yijun is ready to be willful and take a look at the reaction of the ministers.

After the four cabinet scholars left, Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale and said, "I asked you to get the release list, did you get it out?" ”

The use of the imperial palace was reduced once in the second year of Wanli, which was not only a reduction in money, but also a reduction in many people. From a palace maid to a eunuch, Zhu Yijun is ready to come once, this time only opening people and not cutting money.

"The old slave has already drawn up a list!" Zhang Whale hurriedly spoke.

This time, the main scope is on the palace maids and eunuchs who have made mistakes, as well as those eunuchs and palace maids who are suspected of passing on news to the outside world. At the same time, there are those who are single, self-castrated into the palace, and people of unknown origin.

Those who have family members outside are given priority to stay and promoted, and those who are alone do not need to be used.

"If the palace maid is willing to go home to get married, she will pay for the journey, and if she doesn't want to leave, she can go to Huangzhuang for the elderly." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Whale and said: "The same goes for eunuchs, if you have a family member who wants to go home, give the travel fee, and if you don't want to go, or have nowhere to go, go to Huangzhuang." ”

There was a shortage of people in Huangzhuang, so Zhu Yijun arranged for them to go to Huangzhuang, and he was not afraid that they would not be able to eat.

"You keep an eye on this matter, money is not allowed to be corrupted, people are not allowed to retaliate, if someone sues me, you know what the consequences are." Zhu Yijun's words are implicitly threatening.

Zhang Jing hurriedly said: "The old slave understands that he must live up to the trust of the emperor. ”

Now the eunuchs of the celebrant are in charge of each stall, and they are each busy, Chen Ju and Xu De are eyeing each other, and Zhang Whale does not dare to be righteous. In fact, after following Zhu Yijun for several years, Zhang Whale probably figured out the temper of this emperor.

I don't care about small things, and it's nothing to be greedy for money, but if the emperor seriously explains the things, then don't make any mistakes.

In the past few years, Zhang Whale has particularly satisfied Zhu Yijun in this regard, which is why he has become the No. 1 eunuch in the position of the East Factory as a stable position, and has become the No. 1 existence of the eunuch Bingbi, basically everyone knows that Zhang Hong will definitely take over this position.

Zhu Yijun heard Zhang Whale say this, and nodded: "Do it well!" ”

It snowed at night, Zhu Yijun was going to the Queen Mother to eat, and the matter of returning the palace maid and eunuch, Zhu Yijun still had to discuss it with the Queen Mother Li, after all, this matter was a matter in the palace.

In fact, there are not too many people in the palace, after all, Zhu Yijun does not have a queen concubine, so he does not need so many people to serve.

If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to let go of some, it will be difficult to wait until the queen enters the palace to do it. When the time comes, there will be insufficient manpower, maybe you will have to recruit people, and now you can go out, and you can also set rules in recruiting people in the future.

When Zhu Yijun came to Cining Palace, he found that his three younger sisters were also here.

Zhu Yijun's three younger sisters are all from the Empress Dowager Li, which shows how favored this Empress Dowager Li is. Counting the two sons, Li Tianhou gave birth to five children for her father, if it wasn't for the early death of her father, it is estimated that she could still add two.

After all, when my father died, Empress Dowager Li was only twenty-eight years old, and many of them were not married in later generations.

"Queen Mother!" Zhu Yijun saw that Empress Dowager Li taught her daughters with soft eyes, and walked forward with a smile to greet her.

Feng Bao in his previous life was even oppressed by Emperor Wanli, not to mention several princesses.

Dare to find a sick ghost for Princess Yongning, it can be seen how bold Feng Bao is, but the current Zhang Hong is different, he is stable and upright, and he is also very responsible. The lives of the princesses were naturally better, and they were all in good spirits.

"Get up!" Empress Dowager Li smiled and waved her hand and said, "Why does the emperor have time to come over today?" All the state affairs are taken care of? ”

Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "It's all dealt with, I just convened the four cabinet scholars to discuss the meeting, Erchen is still young, Mr. Zhang is not here, Erchen has a lot of things to ask them." ”

has been with the Empress Dowager Li for several years, and Zhu Yijun naturally knows what kind of emperor the Empress Dowager Li hopes to become.

Speaking of it, he is humble and polite, good at admonishment, and to put it bluntly, he is the kind of Ming Jun that Confucianism needs. Empress Dowager Li's cultural level is not high, she has been exposed to it since she was a child, and in her heart, such an emperor is a good emperor.

Her husband died early, and as a mother, she had to take on the responsibility of teaching her son, hoping that he could become a gentleman and become what he wanted.

In fact, whether it is the royal family or the common people, parents want their children to be what they want them to be. It's just that things often backfire, and since Zhu Yijun knows the thoughts of Empress Dowager Li, he naturally knows how to behave.

Showing what they want to be in front of their parents and making them happy is not a kind of filial piety.

Later generations of young people work hard outside, most of them also report good news and do not report bad news, and when they go home during the New Year, they dress themselves up brightly, but they also want their parents to feel that they are very good and don't want them to worry.

Sure enough, after listening to Zhu Yijun's words, Empress Dowager Li nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "The emperor has done a good job." ”

"Queen Mother, today the emperor asked people to prepare a hot pot, since several younger sisters are also there, wait a minute, the royal brother should also come back, our family just get together." Zhu Yijun smiled and glanced at his three younger sisters and said.

"Okay!" Empress Dowager Li nodded, very satisfied with Zhu Yijun's fancy for his younger siblings.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Yijun gradually turned the topic to business, so he said: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters are going to release some palace maids and eunuchs to go out, firstly, they can save some expenses, and secondly, some palace maids and eunuchs are also old, so it is not appropriate for them to wait." ”

"After leaving the palace, find someone to marry, and it's good to have children, and when you are really old, you can't marry well when you leave the palace."

Empress Dowager Li didn't expect Zhu Yijun to put forward this idea, so she pondered for a moment and nodded: "This is a good thing, go do it!" ”

Soon Zhu Yijun came back, the family ate hot pot together, Zhu Yijun also drank a little wine, and Zhu Yijun came back from Cining Palace when he was holding the lamp. After coming back, after washing up, Zhu Yijun went to sleep.

That night, the news that the emperor was going to set up a governor spread, and the newly peaceful capital once again made waves.

Early the next morning, Zhu Yijun felt good after getting up, breathed in the cool air and instantly shivered, and then sobered up a lot. Before Zhu Yijun could eat breakfast, Zhang Whale ran in.

"Emperor, great joy, great joy! Changning Fort victory! As he spoke, Zhang Whale handed over a copy of the recital.
