People are like this, suddenly there is a good news in front of them, first of all, you must wonder if there is some conspiracy, whether it is fake. The emperor suddenly put the fragrant pie in front of the ministers, and most of the ministers would subconsciously think that there was a conspiracy.

Xu Guangqi knew that the emperor had always had a strange idea: to use ministers to govern the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor was just a symbol. It's just that although the emperor has told him a few times, he doesn't believe that this is the emperor's true thoughts. He naturally knew that the emperors in history were afraid that he would not have much power, although he was indeed an emperor worthy of being called a saint, but his background made it impossible for him to put down his power and become a puppet and a symbol.

Sun Chengzong and others thought that the emperor was advancing by retreating, first seeing which of the ministers were dancing happily, and then cleaning up one by one. So he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this great tomorrow must be controlled by Your Majesty, so how can the ministers make their own decisions?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Master Sun is my mentor, do you think that the reason for experience or age makes the cabinet unable to make the right decision?" What I know is taught by Master Sun and the ministers, even if there is a blue thing, but one green can't beat all the blue. This was the case. ”

Sun Chengzong hesitated and didn't dare to say that he obeyed the order, and at this time, Sun Chuanting stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty, do you send all the military affairs to the residence, or only send them urgently." ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Forget about the general things, you can deal with the emergency first, and if you really can't make up your mind, send it to Xingzai, in fact, I want to come, it's only going for three months, and you can't handle how big things you can." Note that military affairs are discussed with the cabinet before making a decision. ”

Sun Chuanting said: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The ministers watched the performance of the two monarchs and ministers, and the surprise in their hearts was completely expressed on their faces. Sun Chuanting is the emperor's most loyal lackey, this is not to scold him, it is he who said it himself. Now the first person to say that he obeyed the order was Sun Chuanting, which shows that the emperor is really going to delegate power. Of course, no one knows if there is a conspiracy behind this decentralization, but at least on the surface, the emperor has handed over the power of state affairs to the cabinet.

Zhu Youxiao said: "I will leave for the south in ten days, and from today onwards, the prince will try to supervise the country, and someone will come and call the prince." ”

Wei Zhongxian took Zhu Ciran to the main hall, although Zhu Ciran had been taught by Zhu Youxiao and the Empress Guifei yesterday, but now standing here, he still couldn't help but be nervous. He first bowed to the emperor and then bowed. Zhu Youxiao said: "Today, you will try to supervise the country, just let me see if my son understands what the prison country should do." ”

Naturally, a eunuch brought a chair and a table, and wanted to put it on the left side in front of the dragon case, Zhu Youxiao said: "Put it in the middle, I will no longer interfere from now on, and today's government will be completed by the prince and the cabinet in cooperation." ”

Not to mention that Zhu Ciran was beating the drum in his heart above, and the ministers below were all messed up for a while. This situation has never been encountered, the last time the crown prince was in charge of the country, it was the queen who sat behind, but now the emperor himself sits, which is completely different.

Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong were both slandered, but they knew that this was a foregone conclusion, but it was just a matter of not treating the emperor as an emperor in front of the emperor, which really made people a little unsure of what to do, Mao Yuanyi helped the first assistant and the second assistant at this time.

Mao Yuanyi came out of the ranks, first saluted the prince, and then said: "Last time, His Majesty intended to transfer eighty percent of the resources of the Ministry of Railways from the country to the northwest, and afterwards the minister convened the officials of the Ministry of Railways to discuss, and found that if this is done, the construction of the three main lines in the country will inevitably be blocked, and the railway bonds jointly issued by the Ministry of Households and the Daming Royal Bank will be discredited to the people, so the minister believes that only fifty percent of the resources can be transferred to the northwest to ensure the smooth progress of other projects." ”

This favor made Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong break out in a cold sweat, isn't Mao Yuanyi a very stable scholar? Now the emperor is still sitting on it and listening, you have denied the emperor's meaning, although the emperor did not invent a decree to ask the Ministry of Railways to allocate eighty percent of resources to the northwest, but that was what Emperor Chrysostom said at the last court meeting, do you want the prince to overturn the case for you now? Oh, no, you want the cabinet to overturn the case for you? Are you trying to pit the Cabinet?

The ministers didn't react for a while, Mao Yuanyi had encountered a ghost? Ask this question at this time and slap the emperor in the face in public? Could it be that he dislikes that his life is too comfortable, or that the Ministry of Railways has a lot of things to do, and he doesn't want to do it? But when the emperor is angry, it is very likely that he will never use it, and the example of Zou Yuanbiao is not very far away.

Xu Guangqi secretly looked at the emperor, but saw that the emperor's eyes had been closed, and he was not ready to care about what you want to do. But the appearance is the same, who knows whether the emperor is angry or angry in his heart now?

Sun Chengzong glared at Mao Yuanyi, his heart was spinning rapidly, and finally he decided that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy by the emperor to use Mao Yuanyi to deal with the cabinet, because he knew that Mao Yuanyi was naturally smart, and it was impossible to openly question the emperor's authority at this time without the emperor's permission.

Xu Guangqi hesitated: "The northwest land is vast and boundless. If a large amount of resources are not allocated, it will indeed seriously affect the construction of the Northwest Railway, and the construction of the Northwest Railway is the most important condition for determining the war in the northwest region, so it is appropriate to allocate resources. Mao Shangshu, after the allocation of eighty percent of the resources, can't the mainland complete the project on time? Isn't it possible to recruit local personnel to replenish it? ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly in his heart, Xu Guangqi actually understood that excessive allocation of resources from the Ministry of Railways was not a suitable method, but now his first thought was to maintain the authority of the emperor, and it was really difficult for him.

Mao Yuanyi said: "In fact, the most troublesome thing in the allocation of resources is not ordinary migrant workers, but we can obtain more foreign hired migrant workers through labor trading companies." The focus is on command staff and exploration technicians, which cannot be achieved in a short period of time. The Ministry of Railways specially established the Railway College only began to recruit students last year, but a year of enrollment of only 800 people, the duration of study is three years, it is expected that within 10 years, our Ministry of Railways technical personnel will always be in a state of shortage. ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Then expand the enrollment quota, isn't that okay?" ”

Mao Yuanyi rolled her eyes in her heart and said: "Lord Shoufu, the teachers of the Railway Institute are not enough, they are all people drawn from the Ministry of Railways, the railway is not like others, it is something that was not there before, and everyone slowly explored it step by step, so except for the people from the Ministry of Railways, other people don't understand." ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Then let the students learn the basic knowledge first, and then apply it while learning at the railway construction site, and then recruit a group of students to continue their studies in school, which should accelerate their growth and solve the problem of lack of teachers." ”

Mao Yuanyi secretly praised: "Lord Shoufu is reasonable, but this is far water, and it can't quench the thirst of the near, how about the allocation of resources?" ”

Xu Guangqi looked at Sun Chengzong for help, and came up with ideas to improve teaching efficiency and enable students to learn better, but he was really not good at fighting with people, especially now that he was facing the emperor.

Sun Chengzong pondered and asked: "Mao Shangshu, if you can't transfer eighty percent of the resources to the northwest, then how much can be transferred without affecting the domestic railway construction." ”

Mao Yuanyi replied: "At most, fifty percent can be drawn, and any more will cause the domestic railway construction to not be completed on schedule." "This question has already been asked first, and I don't know what Sun Chengzong means by asking again.

Sun Chengzong said: "Then allocate fifty percent of the resources to the northwest, and implement the strategy of Lord Shoufu in other aspects, and solve the problem of lack of railway technicians as soon as possible." ”
