Of course, Zhang Bin didn't have a conflict with Zhu Cihong, he was really tired, he almost fell asleep when he stood tired, and after returning to the cabinet room, he stared at him for half an hour, and then picked up the fold and slowly walked towards the imperial study.

After the early dynasty, Yongxing Emperor Zhu Cihong was also tired, he felt that his eyes were a little unable to open, and his head was smashed on the table, this state, not to mention the review and reading, it was a problem to take a pen, and he had to lie on the table to take a nap.

Wang Chengen and the other eunuchs on duty naturally didn't dare to disturb him, knowing that Zhang Bin was coming, Wang Chengen said softly outside: "Your Majesty, Duke Wei Guo asks to see you." ”

Zhu Cihong actually didn't fall asleep, he just couldn't hold on anymore so he lay down and squinted for a while, hearing that Zhang Bin was coming, he suddenly felt refreshed, he knew that Zhang Bin must have come to discuss with him about the cabinet restructuring, the past two days really made him tired enough, and his idea of cabinet restructuring was more urgent.

This time, before he had time to get up to greet him, Zhang Bin had already come in, and the two sides hurriedly greeted each other, and Zhang Bin handed the fold in his hand to him.

Zhu Cihong took it and took a look, "Cabinet Restructuring is Sparse", sure enough, Zhang Bin came to discuss the cabinet restructuring with him, but he really didn't expect that Zhang Bin wrote the constitution of the cabinet restructuring in just one night.

There is not much content in this restructuring, and he quickly finished reading it, but he did not immediately discuss it with Zhang Bin, but pondered it word by word for the recital, this batch of red power decentralization is not a trivial matter, and he naturally can't do it hastily.

After looking at it for a long time, he was curious: "Master, why do you still have to select nine nobles to ask about politics, isn't it enough to have a hundred officials supervised by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so wouldn't it be more than that?" ”

Zhang Bin did not explain, but gave an example: "When Wei Zhongxian was in power, Cui Chengxiu, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, was his godson, and when Wen Tiren was in power, Tang Shiji was the backbone of the Zhejiang Party and his cronies. ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he instantly understood that this was to prevent people from forming a party for personal gain, when a friend party was powerful, they would definitely take the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and at that time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate would not be able to play the role of supervising hundreds of officials, but would become a tool for them to eliminate dissidents.

This is actually just a small question, Zhu Cihong still has a big question in his heart, he nodded slightly, looked at Zhang Bin again, and then said carefully: "Master, if I announce the restructuring now, will the courtiers say that I have listened to your slander and handed over all the power of the court to you?" In the future, will everyone say that I am a faint monarch or a bright monarch? ”

This kid, must have Chongzhen told him something, will Wenchen definitely rebel when he is in power? What the hell is this bullshit theory!

Zhang Bin was silent for a while, and then said lightly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has the courage to say that traitorous ministers must be guarded against, but all civil ministers cannot be treated as traitorous ministers, and there are also brave and loyal civil ministers, and there are also those who serve the country and the people, such as Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu of Xuanzong Xuande Dynasty, such as Li Dongyang of Xiaozong Hongzhi Dynasty, such as Yu Qian of Yingzong Orthodox Dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng of Shenzong Wanli Dynasty, are they loyal or traitorous?" ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he couldn't help but say embarrassedly: "Of course they are loyal ministers, aren't I worried that people's words are terrifying." ”

Boy, are you afraid that my master will take away your power?

Do you really think that I want to be the head of this cabinet, and I won't be tired of helping you deal with government affairs every day?

Zhang Bin thought for a while and made a decision.

Simply, resign as the head of the cabinet, and then take Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng away, so that no one will say that I am trying to seize power!

Thinking of this, he said solemnly: "The emperor's worries are not unreasonable, for the sake of today, Weichen can only resign as the head of the cabinet to prove his innocence, so that the emperor does not have to worry about other people's nonsense." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he was shocked and said, "Master, don't be angry, I just said it casually, I don't mean anything else." ”

He thought that Zhang Bin was angry and wanted to turn his face with him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Bin actually smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Wechen actually didn't want to be the first assistant of the cabinet for a long time, and it was very tiring to deal with government affairs for a day, and Wechen had to lead the troops from time to time, so that Wechen had little time to rest all year round, and now, just take this opportunity to resign as the first assistant of the cabinet, Wechen is also relaxed, and the emperor doesn't have to worry about being terrible, isn't this killing two birds with one stone, everyone is happy?" ”

All happy?

Zhu Cihong asked cautiously: "Master, are you really not angry?" ”

Zhang Bin shook his head and smiled: "Why should Wechen be angry, the reason why Wechen dominated the position of the first assistant of the cabinet in the past was not to set things right and bring Daming into the right track as soon as possible, now Daming is already politically connected, and Zhongxing is in sight, why am I still dominating this position, it is better to retire as soon as possible and do something more meaningful." ”

"This." Zhu Cihong couldn't help but be curious: "Master, is there anything more meaningful than being in charge of the cabinet?" ”

Zhang Bin said solemnly: "Of course there is, for example, it is much more meaningful to expand the territory than to sit in the cabinet to review and approve the folds." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly say: "What the master said makes sense, this expansion of the territory is much more meaningful than the review of the folds, if I can, I want to personally lead the army to expand the territory." ”

Zhang Bin couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for his courage, forget about your knowledge of military science, and leave the matter of expanding the territory to Weichen." ”

When Zhu Cihong heard this, he sneered and said: "Yes, yes, I don't know any art of war at all, and the master is still very good at leading the troops to fight." ”

Seeing him like this, Zhang Bin couldn't help but gently pat him on the shoulder and comforted him as he did when he was a child: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Wechen won't be angry with you, Wechen really wants to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, this is an opportunity, let Boya and Jiandou also go with Wechen, their ability to command the war is much stronger than the ability to deal with government affairs." Moreover, one of them is in charge of the military department and the other is in charge of the official department, if they don't step down, others will still say that I hold on to the power. ”

Zhu Cihong looked at Zhang Bin in a daze for a while, and then nodded movingly: "Okay, it's good that the master is not angry." ”

The court officials all had a premonition that a storm was coming, and the next morning, the storm came.

At the beginning of the early dynasty, Zhu Cihong suddenly raised his hand and asked the Honglu Temple official not to announce the start of the performance, and then he stood up and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, after the ups and downs of the Ming Dynasty in the past few years, with the joint efforts of everyone, we have finally embarked on the road of Zhongxing, and I am very relieved. However, with the revival of the Ming Dynasty and the continuous expansion of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are more and more of these folds, and now there are no less than 600 folds every day, and I am a little overwhelmed. In order not to affect the normal operation of the imperial court, I decided to reorganize the cabinet, and in the future, the cabinet will be responsible for the draft votes and the approval of the red! ”

"Buzz!"

As soon as his words fell, the entire square in front of the Imperial Palace was obviously shaken, and almost all the officials couldn't help but let out loud or small exclamations.

This storm did not come suddenly, but what the emperor said was something that no one expected.

The emperor actually wants to hand over the right to approve the red to the cabinet, isn't this letting the cabinet take charge!
