Zhou Hou was finally moved by the third prince Zhu Cihuan, although King Hui and King Ding were her biological sons, she preferred her eldest son to be the crown prince.

This has almost become an obsession in her heart.

Zhou Hou found an opportunity to summon Xu Zhaohua, the master of ceremonies.

Xu Zhaohua has been staying honestly in the celebrant these days, and he doesn't dare to see anyone easily.

She didn't want to participate in the complicated forces in the court, she just wanted to simply stay in the celebrant to help His Majesty the Ming Emperor do something.

But Zhou Hou took the initiative to summon her, and she couldn't help but go, so she came to Kunning Palace.

Zhou Hou also has some complaints about Xu Zhaohua, after all, he has cared for Xu Zhaohua all these years, but since Xu Zhaohua became an internal official, he has been relatively cold.

Sometimes Zhou Hou also wants to say that she is not biological after all, and Xu Zhaohua is always not very close to her.

But after all, Xu Zhaohua is already the master of ceremonies, and even the queen Zhou has to be more polite and cordial to Xu Zhaohua.

Xu Zhaohua has always been worried about what the Empress Zhou will ask her to do, and even now, she can guess that the Empress will let her help His Royal Highness King Hui.

But Xu Zhaohua didn't want to get involved in the matter of seizing the heir, and she always remembered the teachings of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

What's more, she still dislikes Huiwang Zhu Cihong in her heart.

"The first assistant of the cabinet has become Ma Shiying, you should know", Zhou Hou said with tears in his eyes.

Xu Zhaohua didn't know why the queen was crying, and her swollen eyes made her feel very distressed, so she nodded: "I know." ”

"Then do you know who Ma Shiying is! It was he who instigated your father to abolish your imperial brother's crown prince, and he wanted to murder your imperial brother! ”

Zhou Hou suddenly said to Xu Zhaohua excitedly.

"The queen mother is angry! Now his father has chosen him as the first assistant of the cabinet, with the wisdom of his father, there must be a reason for him to choose Ma Shiying as the first assistant of the cabinet, if it is really as the queen mother said, Ma Shiying and the imperial brother do not deal with it, no matter how arrogant he Ma Shiying is, he must not dare to do anything to the imperial brother, after all, the imperial brother is the son of the father. ”

Xu Zhaohua really didn't expect that Zhou Hou would reprimand Ma Shiying to herself, she couldn't react a little, but she could only comfort Zhou Hou with good words.

Zhou Hou nodded after hearing this: "What does Your Majesty mean, I don't understand a woman, but this palace called you today, I just want to ask if you are willing to help your imperial brother and help your imperial brother to regain the position of prince, you must know that you can enter the ceremonial supervisor is not only valued by His Majesty, but the meaning of your entry into the ceremonial supervisor is not only to take it to see the music, for yourself, for your father, you think about it?" ”

Xu Zhaohua didn't expect Zhou Hou to be so direct, and couldn't help but reply for a while: "But my father strictly ordered that internal officials must not collude with anyone in private." ”

"Where is this collusion! This palace didn't let you do anything against Your Majesty, nor did it let you do anything, but if someone wants to harm your imperial brother and threaten your imperial brother, you will naturally be faster than we know, you just need to send a message through the wind, don't you even want to do this, even if this palace hurts you for so long! ”

Zhou Hou said so.

Xu Zhaohua hurriedly knelt down: "The queen mother is angry, let the sons think about this matter again, and three days later, the sons will reply to the queen mother." ”

Zhou Hou nodded and waved his hand, "Stand down." ”

Xu Zhaohua locked herself up for a whole day after returning to the celebrant eunuch, she never thought that she would be asked to do such a thing, but she didn't dare to tell the emperor Zhu Youzhen about it, because it was the queen who asked her to violate her principles.

……

Just when Xu Zhaohua was struggling with whether to go into the water to help Huiwang Zhu Cihong, Ma Shiying had already begun the work of reorganizing the cabinet.

Hua Yuncheng, the secretary of the ministry, spent a lot of money to keep his position as the secretary of the ministry, and the two servants of the ministry were moved.

Hubu Shangshu actually became Huang Zongxi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, which has to be said to be out of Zhu Youzhen's expectations, but Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything now, anyway, if something went wrong with the Daming money method, he would just cut off Ma Shiying's head.

The secretary of the military department is still Ruan Dayue.

The Ministry of Rites is still the Zodiac Zhou, which is specially requested by Zhu Youzhen, and the implementation of new-style education cannot be supported, no matter who forms a cabinet.

The Ministry of Industry is still Song Yingxing, so far, no one can replace the Ming Dynasty, if nothing goes wrong, Song Yingxing is estimated to be a lifelong Ministry of Industry.

The rest of the official positions don't need to be detailed, Ma Shiying didn't directly change blood from the beginning, although attacking the political party is a means he wants to play very much, but he knows that what His Majesty wants is not for him to attack the political party but to let him do the right thing.

Therefore, as soon as Ma Shiying took office, he began to issue a Jun order to clear the acres of land in the south, and decided to announce the implementation of the policy of emigrating the people of the south to the north, strictly prohibiting forced slavery, and severely cracking down on the local forces that prevented the people from immigrating to the north.

At the same time, the Ministry of Criminal Justice also promulgated the "Anti-Slavery Law", strictly prohibiting officials and citizens from raising private slaves in the name of raising children and daughters, and began to change the "Daming Law", the Ming government no longer recognized the system of family birth and deed of sale, all slaves and slaves were killed, and their masters still had to pay for their lives, and the slaves had the right to redeem themselves according to the contract price, and the head of the family could not stop them.

At the same time, the Ministry of Criminal Justice began to promulgate the "Citizenship Law", formally establishing the division of Ming citizens and the rights and obligations of each level of citizens.

Not only that, in order to completely solve the shortage of labor in the empire, especially the lack of skilled labor, Ma Shiying began to stipulate that girls should also attend school on the grounds that everyone has the right to compulsory education under the Citizenship Law.

At the same time, the Ministry of Criminal Justice issued a decree strictly prohibiting the recurrence of female infant drowning and foot binding incidents, and the cabinet began to lead the change in social customs, encouraging women to remove foot binding and go to the workshop.

But because of this, Ma Shiying has also been abused by the gentry all over the world for a year.

First of all, he wanted to clear the acres of land and did not recognize the slaves of the family, and even let the girls enter the school and not be allowed to bind their feet.

For a time, the impeachment of Ma Shiying flew into Zhu Youzhen's Qianqing Palace like snowflakes.

Zhu Youzhen is too lazy to take care of it, he supports Ma Shiying's initiative, what Daming lacks most now is the population, and where does the population come from, politically speaking, it comes from the slave owner's estate, and from the reproductive point of view, it comes from the woman's belly.

Without eradicating the phenomenon of drowning female babies because of patriarchal thinking, and without emancipating a large number of slaves and maids from the gentry estates, it will not be possible to increase the number of women.

Emerging capitalists such as Han Shoujing of the celebrant and Yang Mingshen of the Central Bank of Daming were very supportive of Ma Shiying's initiative, and even the eunuch Han Shoujing took the lead in establishing the Jingshi Women's School in the capital, mainly majoring in textile and garment design and drama.
