Chapter 442: Six Cabinet Ministries

"Stop it all in the palace, this is where Emperor Daxing's coffin is, are you going to disturb Emperor Daxing's peace? Master Fan, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, you haven't come up to pay homage to Emperor Daxing,"

Watching the loyal ministers fall one after another in front of the main gate of the several banquet halls, Yi'an Empress Zhang Yan couldn't sit still anymore, slowly straightened up, her phoenix eyes widened, and her face reprimanded angrily, she really didn't want these old ministers loyal to Zhu Ming to die like this inexplicably, although the current Beijing division is occupied by the so-called Shandong soldiers, but people live, Zhu Ming has the hope of reviving the dynasty.

"Your Highness...... Ministers...... Shame! ”

Fan Jingwen and other loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty who wanted to die together were still quite in awe of the queen of the two dynasties, and after Zhang Yan opened her mouth, they wept bitterly and fell down again.

"Ma Sande, you quickly send someone to clean up the corpse in front of the palace, don't stain the first emperor's tranquility, if you still want to be loyal to the first emperor, you can return to the mansion and then look for a short time, but the coffin of the first emperor is here, and if you dare to splash blood in the palace again, this marshal will kill you and the other nine clans for the crime of great disrespect."

Zhang Yan's careful thinking is unobstructed in front of Li Xingzhi, in fact, Li Xingzhi also does not want to hurt these loyal ministers, who in a sense represent the backbone of the last Han dynasty in history.

"Humph......!"

Fan Jingwen and Fan Fucui and others are not pedantic, they also understand what Zhang Yan means, after calming down, they also broke off the idea of martyrdom with Chongzhen, after all, the heirs of the first emperor are still alive, and it makes sense to make the king the emperor from a legal point of view.

"Since you have nothing to say, then there are a few things to negotiate with you, the first emperor is a big line, the Son of Heaven is only seven years old, the first emperor has a clear decree that His Royal Highness King De and His Royal Highness King Fu will supervise the auxiliary government of the country, then all court administrative matters must be handed over to the two highnesses to deal with, and the Son of Heaven will return to power when he is an adult, and the second thing is that the emperor and the empress will enter the mausoleum soon, and the formulation of this nickname is also urgent, in addition, the cabinet members and the ministers need to be reappointed and dismissed, in order to show that I have a new dynasty and new rules."

After the left and right Jinyi guards dragged the bodies of Ni Yuanlu and other officials who sacrificed their lives away from the hall for several feasts, Li Xingzhi spoke again.

"What the Metropolitan Governor said is that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and making a plan early is the way to rejuvenate the country."

Zhang Sizhi, the former deputy assistant of the cabinet, bowed down with a bang, Fan Fucui and Fan Jingwen had obviously offended Zhu Youshu and Li Xingzhi, and he still wanted to work hard and sit on the throne of the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

"Her Royal Highness the Queen, the minister is old and frail, after the first emperor's trip, his health is getting worse, this time he entered the palace to send the first emperor on his last journey, and here's the matter, and please ask His Royal Highness to allow the old man to return to his hometown."

Fan Fucui did not agree or object, and respectfully kowtowed to Zhang Yan three times, not caring about Li Xingzhi's words at all.

"The first emperor is only sixty years old, and the new emperor is young, so please take care of the first emperor for the sake of the first emperor, and then take care of the new emperor for a few more years?"

Fan Fucui is highly respected and has a straight name, there are not many courtiers loyal to Zhu Ming in the court, how can Zhang Yan let him return to his hometown.

"Your Royal Highness, the minister is already dying, the so-called talented people in the country and the mountains are out, and the old man dominates this position, I am afraid that His Royal Highness King De and Li Shuai are not satisfied, rather than doing nothing in the court, it is better to return to his hometown and raise his grandson."

Fan Fucui has been in power for 20 years and has experienced countless political struggles, and he knows that this cabinet chief assistant is just someone else's mouthpiece, where is he willing to stay in the court and be angry.

"Okay, since Mr. Fan is going to go home to retire, then let's go back, now that the place is restless, Ben Shuai will take off a hundred brocade clothes to escort him, I don't know what Mr. Fan thinks?"

Although Fan Fucui kept scolding himself and Zhu Youshu for being a criminal rebel, he had resigned, which showed that he was still aware of current affairs, and Li Xingzhi was too lazy to do it, and Fan Fucui's hometown was in Huang County, Laizhou, Shandong, as long as he was sent back to his hometown safely, he would not be afraid that he would collude with Sun Chuanting and Wang Qiaonian and other local governors, Li Xingzhi would naturally not embarrass a sixty-year-old man.

"Humph......!"

Hearing that Li Xingzhi actually decided to do his own thing, Fan Fucui responded painlessly, and he could be regarded as deciding what he was doing.

"Since the first assistant is to the officer, then the court must elect a new cabinet, the marshal and King De and His Royal Highness King Fu have agreed before, the tentative cabinet members of six, the former governor of Shandong Liu Lishun is the protégé of Xue Ge Lao, in Shandong has made a lot of political achievements, the marshal is in the south and north to ask for money and food are all raised by the Liu Ministry, the marshal thinks that he will be able to be the head of the imperial court, Liu Ministry, you and the list of cabinet members and the appointment and dismissal of the six ministries and nine secretaries of the ministers present."

After Liu Lishun hurried out of the ranks, and after he rushed from Shandong to Beijing, Li Xingzhi proposed that he should preside over the cabinet, and elected the cabinet members and the main officials of the new dynasty.

According to Li Xingzhi's intentions, the cabinet has a total of six people, and Liu Lishun, the former governor of Shandong, served as the first assistant minister of the cabinet of scholars of the Zhongji Temple; Zhang Sizhi was appointed as a second assistant to the Scholar of Jianji Temple; Song Guangkun, the former prefect of Laizhou, entered the cabinet as a scholar of Wenhuadian University, and Li Banghua, the former imperial history of Zuodu, entered the cabinet as a scholar of Wuyingdian University; Yan Jizu, the former governor of Shandong, entered the cabinet as a scholar of Dongge University, and Sun Kewang, the former governor of Qingzhou, entered the cabinet as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Such appointments and dismissals, in fact, Li Xingzhi wants to firmly control the cabinet in his hands, only one Li Bangming is an old man of the Chongzhen Dynasty and a diehard loyalist of Chongzhen, and letting him enter the cabinet is just to appease the ministers of the court and calm the hearts of the people.

Among the six departments, the official department is the heaviest, known as the heavenly official, and the power is no less than that of the prime minister of the imperial court, so Li Xingzhi used Li Youcai, the ambassador of the Military Intelligence Department of the Jingbei Army, to take charge of the official department; The secretary of the military department was appointed by Lu Liangzhi, who was far away in Liaodong, and Li Xingzhi was originally the right attendant of the criminal department, Meng Zhaoxiang, but as a result, Meng Zhaoxiang was killed in a few banquets, so he could only be appointed by Xu Yinglin, the left attendant of the criminal department of the original Chongzhen Dynasty, although this person's character is not as good as Meng Zhaoxiang, but compared to Chen Yan and other servile scumbags is a lot stronger, the Ministry of Justice, since Fan Jingwen is not dead, thinking about supporting the young master, Li Xingzhi does not mind letting him continue to be in the court, as for the Ministry of Rites, the Ming Dynasty practice is concurrently served by the first assistant of the cabinet, Therefore, Liu Lishun is obliged to assume this position.

There are six departments, there are nine Qing, such a court minister Li Xingzhi can not be from the lecture martial arts hall those who have studied less than a year of the number of students, after all, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty has been the king and the scholar doctor to rule the world, if the martial arts hall students are filled in a barbaric way, then the world will be in an uproar, those scholars will think that Li Xingzhi's support of the Dingwang regime will dig their roots, in order to completely solve the disadvantages of the eight shares of the science field, we must solve this problem from the root, that is, the pre-Qin period Confucianism advocated the six arts of the gentleman to re-promote, The martial style of the Han people must wait until the king is called the system before the decree can be made in the name of the imperial court.
