Seeing the aggressive posture of these ministers towards Wen Tiren, Zhu Youxiao was completely in no mood to see Wen Tiren's jokes at this time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Zhu Youxiao saw in a trance what these ministers really thought about their peace talks with the Tatars, perhaps, as Wen Tiren said when he betrayed Liu Zongzhou at that time, the bureaucrats who were originally the squire class did not understand what really hindered the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, they knew from the outset that the dynasty would eventually fall because of their greed, but with the exception of a few idealists, most officials felt that it was a big deal to change their allegiance.

It's just that the emperor changed from the surname Zhu to another surname.

But it is absolutely impossible to let them lose their privileged position of ruling over the common people, and they can oppose and prevent them with all their might.

Just like the Donglin Party at that time, the reason why they dared to make the move of killing the monarch was because of this.

Even now, too, there are hardly any officials among the courtiers who are so radical as to go toe-to-toe with His Majesty the Emperor in order to preserve their privileged position, but they must be exterminated those traitors who betray the interests of their own class.

Wen Tiren is a villain, the first rat at both ends, unprincipled, and does not hesitate to sell everything for his career, including his friends and the gentry who belong to the same class as himself.

But such a person is now the person Zhu Youxiao needs the most, because Wen Tiren has no principles, so he can let Wen Tiren do something that other officials can't do, and even let Wen Tiren act as a shield, if one day, when he and the gentry need to reach a reconciliation, then Wen Tiren can also play the role of a sacrifice.

Therefore, at this time, Zhu Youxiao still had to favor Wen Tiren, so seeing the ministers pressing Wen Tiren step by step, Zhu Youxiao coughed a few more times and said:

"Okay, for Wen Tiren, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, I have another important use, not to mention a small Tartar, let a dignified and three-grade Rite Ministry of Rites be a resident envoy, wouldn't it be too much to give face to the Tartars, I think what Wen Tiren said is very true, the Tartars are barbarians, and the most lacking thing is education, and Liu Zongzhou is a famous minister of science, and he is well-known at home and abroad, so let Liu Zongzhou send the Tartar!"

Zhu Youxiao's words are tantamount to a direct decision, and it is difficult for the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee to oppose it.

And Liu Zongzhou was also disheartened about this matter, he knew that the letter he had prepared to prevent peace talks was useless, but he didn't expect that he would become a resident envoy to the Tartars in such a daze.

Moreover, this idea came up with Wen Tiren, and Liu Zongzhou really hates Wen Tiren now.

But the sad thing is that the current Liu Zongzhou is no longer the country's priest wine, and he has no way to stand up against it, and he can only gladly accept Zhu Youxiao's will.

And Zhu Youxiao also stepped down from the throne at this time, and pretended to pat Liu Zongzhou's shoulder solemnly: "Liu Zongzhou, there was Su Wu shepherd sheep in the Han Dynasty, and you, as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, cannot lose the integrity of my Ming courtiers. ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen is a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and death is a ghost of the Ming Dynasty!"

Even if Liu Zongzhou didn't want to go to the bitter cold place outside the Guanwai in his heart, he didn't want to lose his demeanor as an upright minister in front of Wen Tiren, and even glanced at Wen Tiren provocatively.

Wen Tiren smiled disdainfully, he knew that Liang Zi, who hated Liu Zongzhou and the ministers who hated him as much as Liu Zongzhou, had completely taken over.

But Wen Tiren didn't think so, in the current Ming Dynasty, although civil officials still have a certain status, they have no way to suppress Your Majesty, so as long as he Wen Tiren follows His Majesty's tone all the time, His Majesty will have to protect himself even if he hates his character.

Just like just now, when almost all the officials wanted to let themselves go to the Tartar Kingdom as envoys, His Majesty did not follow their wishes, but rejected their opinions, and listened to his own opinions and let Liu Zongzhou go to Su Wu, who was shepherding sheep.

Qian Qianyi, a cabinet scholar, smiled at Wen Tiren at this time, in his opinion, in the entire court, there are finally people who are hated by hundreds of officials like himself.

After deciding to send an envoy to the Tartar State as an envoy, Zhu Youxiao asked the ministers to discuss the matter of adding cabinet scholars.

There is no limit to the number of people in the cabinet, especially now that Zhu Youxiao has almost emptied the power of the cabinet, for the ministers, the cabinet scholar is more just an honorary title.

But the centuries-old deep-rooted concept has made the ministers have a deep obsession with entering the cabinet, and when they see that His Majesty wants them to promote the cabinet, these ministers are excited.

However, the ministers promoted by Zhu Youxiao were almost impressed, such as Cheng Jiming, who was the young Zhan Shi and the prince's guest and the secretary of the Nanjing Hanlin Academy, as well as Zhou Daodeng, who was Liu Ru's first husband in the original history and is now the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, as well as Zhang Zhifa and Li Biao.

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect the names of so many officials to pop up for a while, but he didn't refuse, as long as these ministers didn't hinder the process of his reform, he wouldn't hinder their way to promotion.

However, according to Zhu Youxiao's original intention, Lu Xiangsheng, who is in charge of the military for himself, and Xu Guangqi, who is in charge of scientific research for himself, must enter the cabinet, and Li Mingrui, who plays the role of his secretary, can also enter the cabinet.

For the election of other ministers, Zhu Youxiao did not ask for it, and simply followed the old rules directly, and asked the six ministries and nine secretaries to vote for beans in the Qianqing Palace the next day.

On this day, Zhu Youxiao has already determined the general candidates for the cabinet to join the cabinet, and is ready to add seven cabinet ministers this time, and now the candidate cabinet ministers are ten, that is to say, it is necessary to decide who will enter the cabinet and who cannot enter the cabinet through the number of beans thrown.

Getting rid of the predetermined Lu Xiangsheng, Xu Guangqi and Li Mingrui can only allow the hundred officials to choose only four places, but the number of alternative cabinet ministers has also been reduced to seven, so it is a relatively large chance to choose four out of seven.

In the end, the result of the court push made Zhu Youxiao very stunned, because there was Liu Zongzhou among the cabinet ministers who were pushed by the court!

This made Zhu Youxiao feel very unhappy, he couldn't figure out what these officials meant, did they deliberately give themselves eye medicine? So that he could force himself to retract his decision to let Liu Zongzhou be the envoy?

But Zhu Youxiao, who did not want to be used by these officials, simply rejected Tingtui's opinion, and planned to re-conduct Tingtui, and stipulated that the cabinet ministers of Tingtui must be senior officials of the third rank or above in the capital and the second rank or above in the local government.

The officials have no way to deal with Emperor Zhu Youxiao now, and they have to listen to Zhu Youxiao's opinion.

In the end, in addition to Lu Xiangsheng, Xu Guangqi, and Li Mingrui, Zhou Daodeng, Cheng Jiming, Zhou Yanru, and Li Biao were also added to the cabinet.

So far, Zhu Youxiao's cabinet can be regarded as complete, and soon Qian Qianyi was appointed as a scholar of Jianjidian University, that is, the first assistant of the cabinet, while Lu Xiangsheng added a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Xu Guangqi was a scholar of Wenyuange University, and Li Mingrui was still a scholar of Dongge University; The four people selected by the other ministers except for Zhou Daodeng as a scholar of Wenhua Palace, the rest are all scholars of Dongge University, just like Li Mingrui.
