Zhu Houzhao looked at Lao Shoufu with a smile, he was worthy of a man standing at the peak of civil officials, and he could gain insight into heaven in an instant.

Frightened, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly patted Aiqing's ass and said: "The old Shoufu really knows the subtleties!" ”

As a result, the old man didn't appreciate it, and hummed: "The emperor praises falsely, and the old minister is just good at summarizing." Since the emperor is sitting in Kyoto, he will not go to the court meeting for non-major events, and the court will inevitably be related to the new policy, and the old ministers have long been accustomed to it! ”

Hearing Lao Shoufu's words, Zhu Houzhao was slightly embarrassed and said with a smile: "Is this really the case?" ”

"Your Majesty himself doesn't know?"

"It seems to be ......" Zhu Houzhao smiled, looking at the courtiers at all levels who were still slowly entering the palace and said to the old chief: "You are a courtier, but Yu Zhen is an elder." For so many years for the foundation of the old Zhu family to last forever, how much effort you have paid, I have remembered it all in my heart. ”

As soon as these words came out, the old man was immediately much more satisfied.

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "You see that there is still time to do it at this time, let's ventilate first, otherwise I will announce in court in a while, I don't know how many old ministers will hold the ancestral system and tear it apart with me." ”

Seeing that the old man trembled all over, Zhu Houzhao knew that this matter had brought a lot of psychological pressure to the old man. Hurriedly relieved: "It's not as terrible as you think, and overall it's a good thing for your cabinet." ”

Lao Shoufu took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty will let the old minister calm down and get ready." ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't pay attention to it, and said to himself: "Since the founding of the ancestors, the revocation of the position of prime minister, although the power was concentrated in the hands of the emperor for a while, but for thousands of years, there are only a handful of emperors who can be as energetic as the ancestors, so after Taizong, the power was finally decentralized, and the cabinet was formed, and the cabinet scholars basically exercised the duties of the prime minister. In the next hundred years, it was the time when the ministers continued to struggle for more power, and of course, there was also the impetus of the previous emperors, and by now, the first assistant has almost been regarded as the ruler of a country, which is beyond reproach. ”

Speaking of this, the old Shousuke's forehead was already sweating. The current power of the cabinet, as Zhu Houzhao said, comes from the unremitting efforts of the elders of the multi-generation cabinet, and on the other hand, it is indeed the acquiescence of the emperors. The emperor is talking about this now, isn't the purpose clear?

Zhu Houzhao smiled: "Aiqing doesn't have to worry. I have no intention of continuing to centralize power, after all, I am not a Taizu, and I don't have so much energy to do so many things in the whole country in every detail. And now our territory is much bigger, and it will be even bigger in the future, if I take everything on myself, I won't be able to hold it up! ”

"What are your Majesty's plans?" Lao Shoufu took a breath, he knew that Zhu Houzhao was telling the truth, the country has increased, the affairs have increased, and things like fighting for power and profit almost no longer exist, after all, there are endless things to do at hand, and he is tired and tired, where do he still have the heart to do other nonsense things.

"I'm going to give you a few elders." Zhu Houzhao ha: "I see that you have almost aged ten years in the past two years, and I really can't bear it. ”

Lao Shoufu's heart jumped, this is really going to cut power?

Zhu Houzhao looked at the expression of the old Shoufu, and laughed wildly in his heart, if this matter was in the past few years, the old Shoufu would definitely be a lesson, but now, with the meritorious service in his hand, he took the Ming Dynasty step by step to Yangguan Avenue, and directly established the image of the emperor who said his word, even when the emperor talked to him, he had to weigh it.

There is a saying that knowledge is to be able to speak well when talking to others, and fists are to allow others to speak well when they are talking to themselves. At this point, there seems to be similarities.

"Don't worry, I'm not trying to cut your power. It's about delegating power to you! Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I allow you to select available talents among the hundred officials, join the cabinet and become your subordinate officials, and assist you in maintaining the operation of the world together!" ”
