"Qin Minzhong." Li Guanqi saw that no one took the initiative to speak, so he named and said, "Now that the chief officials of the three provinces and the Ministry of Officials are empty, you, the local official Situ, are the head of the hundred officials, tell me your opinion." Who do you think should sit in these seats? ”

"Back to the emperor." Qin Minzhong bowed and said, "According to the laws of my Great Qian, the appointment and dismissal of officials above the fourth rank require the emperor's holy judgment. The positions vacated by the Beijing division this time are all crucial positions, which cannot be placed by his subordinates, and the emperor should be arbitrary. ”

"Arbitrariness?" Li Guanqi read a sentence with a smile, stood up again, and said, "Do you all have this opinion?" ”

"Please ask the emperor to make his own decisions!" All the officials said in unison, no one plans to be the first bird in such a stormy matter.

"Good. Since you all think it's up to me to make up my own mind, then I'll make that decision. Li Guanqi suddenly sneered: "But now I can't even call the names of the people in this hall." So I don't know who to give these vacated positions, if I talk about seniority. Since I don't know who to sit, I don't want anyone to sit. I have decided to abolish the three provinces with immediate effect. ”

"Boom." Li Guanqi's words were like a bomb, which caused great repercussions among the ministers. Lin Bai came out of the class and admonished: "The emperor's move must not be." At the same time, the ministers in the palace also knelt on the ground and said in unison: "The emperor's move must not be." ”

Only Zhao Pu stood alone in a scarlet official robe, which was even more distinctive.

"Hmph." Li Guanqi sneered and continued, "I asked for your opinion, and you let me make a decision; Now that I have made my own decision, you are all against it. I'd like to ask you how to be the emperor. ”

There was silence again under the "......", and everyone realized that they had fallen into the trap set by Li Guanqi in advance from the beginning.

"I know that I can't say anything to me, if I really want you to give opinions and suggestions, I will become dumb again." Li Guanqi said sharply, "Who was the original governor of the three provinces? It's Zu Donglai. Who is Zu Donglai? He is a rebel who intends to rebel. Why did he dare to rebel? Because he has more power in his hands. Don't you see anything wrong with this? If the three provinces are not abolished, Wang Donglai and Zhang Donglai will appear in the future. ”

At this time, the ministers immediately became honest, because Li Guanqi's hat was too big. In fact, everyone also understands that there is no inevitable connection between Zu Donglai's rebellion and his status as the governor of the three provinces, but the emperor has said it to this point, and it is clear that he is determined to abolish the three provinces. Whoever opposes it is suspected of rebellion.

Qin Minzhong had no choice but to consider the words and said: "The emperor is sage, what he thinks and thinks, it is not up to the ministers and others to look up to him. However, if the emperor abolishes the three provinces, who will share the emperor's worries? ”

Seeing that Qin Minzhong took the lead in acquiescing in his decision to abolish the three provinces, Li Guanqi smiled lightly and said, "Since the three provinces can be abolished, it is natural that other institutions can also be established. ”

"What does the emperor mean ......?" Qin Minzhong asked hesitantly.

Li Guanqi calmly replied: "My meaning is very simple, abolish the three provinces, and at the same time add the post of university scholar, form a cabinet, act as my adviser, participate in confidential affairs, and draft edicts. Well, the name of the scholar is named after the palace of the Imperial Palace. The order is the Baohe Palace, the Wenhua Hall and the Wuying Palace, the Wenyuan Pavilion, the Tiren Pavilion and the East Pavilion three Pavilions, the three halls of scholars are all the first rank, and the three pavilions are from the first grade. ”

The officials in the palace were not stupid people, and they immediately understood that this palace scholar was the future prime minister. The difference from the past is that the original prime minister has changed to the current six, and there will no longer be a situation in which the power of the prime minister is above the emperor.

Now that the emperor has thought about the countermeasures after the abolition of the three provinces, what else can a courtier say? So everyone sang in unison: "The emperor is sage." ”

Li Guanqi nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since everyone thinks this move is feasible, it is so decided." In the future, all the large and small recitals of the whole country will be handed over to the Qinzheng Palace, and after being compiled and registered by my secretary Yue'er, they will be handed over to the cabinet, and the cabinet will be responsible for summarizing the main contents, drafting the handling opinions, and then submitting them to me after completion. ”

"As for the office space of the cabinet, let's temporarily aggrieved in the side hall of this Xuanzheng Palace, and then move over after the Shangshu Province is renovated."

Li Guanqi deliberately paused for a moment before saying, "I know that you are most concerned about the selection of this scholar. Because it was a new system, I was dictatorial. Qin Minzhong. ”

"The minister is here." Qin Minzhong stood solemnly out of the class steadily.

Li Guanqi thought for a moment, and then said: "I have named you a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and you are still in charge of the household department. ”

"Your Majesty." Qin Minzhong bowed down and thanked him.

Li Guanqi looked back and forth among the ministers, and then called out the second name, "Yang Bozheng." ”

“…… The minister is here. Yang Bozheng didn't expect the emperor's second name to be his own name, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted. Since Li Guanqi ascended the throne, the two monarchs and ministers have not spoken much at other times, except for communicating more when dealing with Zu Donglai. Yang Bozheng had always thought that Lin Bai was definitely above him when it came to holy favors, so he was still thinking about sealing Qin Minzhong just now, and then it would be Lin Bai's turn.

Li Guanqi didn't know that Yang Bozheng's kung fu had moved so much at this moment, and said to himself: "I have made you a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and you are still in charge of the Ministry of Rites. ”

"Thank you, Emperor Longen."

"Zhao Pu." Li Guanqi then called out the third name.

"The minister is here." Zhao Pu was full of excitement and replied subconsciously.

Li Guanqi said eloquently: "Remove you from the post of head of the household department, and crown you as a scholar of Dongge University, and jointly counsel government affairs." ”

"Wow." A surprised voice suddenly sounded in the Xuanzheng Palace. Regarding Qin Minzhong and Yang Bozheng entering the cabinet, the ministers have no opinions, after all, the prestige, qualifications and abilities of the two are obvious to all. However, Li Guanqi suddenly crowned Zhao Pu as a scholar, but he threw a bombshell among the hundred officials.

Zhao Pu is neither a Jinshi nor a descendant of Xungui, he was not even an official a few months ago, and he was appointed as the head of the sixth grade by the small official, which is already a great honor, and now he actually ascends to the sky in one step, directly enters the cabinet, and is a first-class official. How can such an outrageous thing keep this group of ministers quiet? There was a lot of discussion on the spot. Even Zhao Pu himself was stunned by Li Guanqi's decision, and was stunned on the spot, forgetting to thank him.
