Master of Ceremonies.

Liu Jin knows that now that he is the prime minister of the inner court, the third cabinet elder of the cabinet will definitely resign, so he can also guess that the cabinet will not have a vote to send in the next few days, and he, the prime minister of the inner court, will naturally not be too busy at first.

But Liu Jin was qualified to come to the center of the Ming Dynasty for the first time to do things, and he was as a palm seal eunuch, so he was naturally very active.

Therefore, Liu Jin came to the celebrant early, in his opinion, the book of the celebrant is fragrant, even the air of the celebrant is fragrant, and even the eunuch with the celebrant is pleasing to the eye, so even if he has nothing to do, he has to come to the celebrant to sit idly.

Liu Jin, who sat in the first place, felt as if he was ten years younger, touching the back of the chair from time to time and looking at the furnishings of the house, just like the groom who was about to enter the cave room.

Of course, Liu Jin can't experience the pleasure of Xiao Dengke in his life, but his pleasure now is no less than that of a normal man's Xiao Dengke.

Now Liu Jin feels that he is now the prime minister of the inner court, and he should have a bit of the temperament and mind of the inner court, so he became the eunuch of the master of ceremonies for the first time, and now he sees everyone with a smiling face.

However, Chu Ke, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Suitang, still sat down under Liu Jin and was very respectful, but Liu Jin asked with great concern: "Chu Suitang, what year did you enter the palace?" ”

"Back to the inner minister, his subordinates are the palace that Hongzhi entered in the seventh year", Chu Ke got up and bowed his hand.

"Who can be regarded as an old man in the palace, who is from the inner study hall?"

The master of ceremonies has an inner study hall, which is a place where Hanlin officials teach inner eunuchs to read and write, and the background of the inner study hall is naturally a relatively noble background in the inner court, so Liu Jin asked.

"Back to the inner minister, the subordinate is from the inner study hall", the celebrant and the eunuch Chu Ke replied.

"Sure enough, it looks quite civilized, dare to ask which Hanlin you are studying with?" Liu Jin seemed to be in a good mood and chatted with his subordinates very patiently.

"Don't dare to hide from each other, and his subordinates learn from Wang Shaozai", the eunuch Chu Ke said that Wang Shaozai is the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Shaozai, and now Ding Wei is at home, and he was born in Tanhualang, so Liu Jin also praised after hearing it: "It turned out to be Wang Shaozai's high feet, and the future is immeasurable!" ”

The eunuch Chu Ke was obviously a stuffy gourd and did not answer.

And Liu Jin didn't get angry, but asked again: "Is there a cabinet that has been neglected?" ”

"Back to the internal minister, there is only one letter that has arrived", the celebrant and the eunuch Chu Ke replied.

Liu Jin nodded, and asked the eunuch Chu Ke to give him the letter, but when he saw that it was the head of the household department, Wang Hua asked his son Wang Yangming to resign instead of the three cabinet ministers resigned, and couldn't help but shake his head: "These three people are really not interesting!" ”

……

Zhu Houzhao was having lunch with the Empress Dowager Zhang here, and saw that Liu Jin was already waiting outside the gate, so he resigned from the Empress Dowager Zhang and asked Liu Jin: "But the three university scholars in the cabinet have resigned?" ”

"Back to the emperor's words, not yet, there is only a letter at the moment, the cabinet vote is to ask for the resignation of his son Wang Shouren, the head of the household department, and the cabinet vote is to approve the resignation", Liu Jin has long been mentioned by Zhu Houzhao, knowing that he is now the master of ceremonies in the inner court, but he can't listen to the cabinet's vote, and he has to listen to the opinion of his emperor Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao didn't expect that it was not the resignation of the three cabinet ministers who came to the celebrant first, but the resignation of Wang Hua, the secretary of the household department, Wang Hua, and Wang Yangming, but this incident also surprised him, after all, Wang Yangming was a figure he was more familiar with.

Zhu Houzhao took the song from Liu Jin's hand and looked at it, and saw that Wang Hua, the secretary of the household department, asked his son Wang Shouren to resign because his son was deviant, fearing that the society would be disrupted and harmful, so as a father, he could not bear the dog to insult the lintel and become a traitor of the country.

Zhu Houzhao naturally wouldn't let Wang Yangming go back to study, and said directly: "Reject the cabinet vote and approve the red as: Let Wang Yangming go to the leopard room to study!" The leopard room is located in the Royal West Garden, which has always been solemn and elegant, and is a good place to read, but it can be righteous and evil! ”

As soon as Zhu Houzhao said this, Liu Jin nodded yes, and hurriedly took the song and prepared to go to the celebrant to approve the red.

However, when he saw Liu Jin holding the song and preparing to go to the celebrant to approve the red, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think of something.

Although Zhu Houzhao knew that Liu Jin did not dare to dictate power now, the ceremonial supervisor was outside the palace, and he would naturally not be able to control the ceremonial supervisor at any time when he lived in the Qianqing Palace in the future, and Liu Jin held the power to criticize the red, so it was inevitable that he would take advantage of his inability to manipulate the authority.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly understood that it was no wonder that the Zhengde Emperor and the Jiajing Emperor in history would live in Xiyuan, not just to escape from the control of civil officials, after all, the cabinet was in the palace, but it was better to control the power of the inner court to approve the red, because Xiyuan was closer to the celebrant and the eunuch, and at the same time far away from the cabinet, as the emperor, it was naturally good to directly manipulate the imperial power.

However, Zhu Houzhao did not plan to move to Xiyuan to control only the celebrant and the celebrant eunuch, he wanted to control the celebrant and the cabinet in his own hands, not only the celebrant and the cabinet, but also the supreme military command body in the future, and he also had to control it in his own hands.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly had a bold idea, he wanted to pinch together the central institutions of the Ming Empire such as the celebrant and the cabinet and place them all near his Qianqing Palace, so that he could directly control the imperial decision-making power, administrative power and military power, whether it was the celebrant supervisor or the cabinet or the future supreme military command body, he would not want to escape from the sight of his emperor.

Zhu Houzhao's idea is equivalent to the establishment of the military aircraft department in the Yongzheng period, which is naturally conducive to strengthening his monarchical dictatorship.

So, Zhu Houzhao did what he said, and hurriedly called Liu Jin back: "Liu Jin, you come back!" Now you have ordered someone to go to the north side of Longzong Gate and clean all the rooms there, and now that the Ministry of Industry has just renovated the palaces around the Qianqing Palace and the Qianqing Gate, it is just right to use it, and after cleaning, you will move the seal and treasure seal in the hands of the celebrant to there, so that I can listen to the government, and you will avoid running back and forth for asking for instructions! At that time, the recital after the approval of the red can also be issued directly through the General Political Secretary, which is naturally cheaper! ”

Liu Jin heard Zhu Houzhao say this, and also guessed that his majesty's purpose was not to be afraid of running back and forth and wanted to be alone, but he had just become the master of ceremonies and had little power, so he naturally did not dare to go against Zhu Houzhao's will, and only said: "The emperor is considerate of the ministers and others, so that the ministers and others are really grateful, and the ministers will follow the order, and move the master of ceremonies to Longzongmen before sunset tomorrow!" ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "In addition, immediately send another herald to deliver the decree to Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Xu Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Jiao Fang, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and these three people will immediately enter the palace to meet them!" ”

Liu Jin also immediately said: "Obey the order", and he was very satisfied with this, thinking that the emperor was preparing to let these three people enter the cabinet.
