After Jian Yi left, the scholars and officials were empty, Zhu Zhanji was determined to forge ahead, compared to the Zhu Di era, who killed people at every turn, Zhu Zhanji was much gentler, and if he did something wrong, he just punished him verbally. But when they are required to do a lot of big things and eliminate the malpractices, they are busy with their work, and sometimes they are working overtime in the middle of the night.

Now that there is one less person, the other scholars will complain about the misery and fall, and Yang Shiqi, as the first auxiliary minister, is under more pressure, so he will report the situation to the emperor first.

Zhu Zhanji had already had a candidate in his heart, but he didn't say it, he just sighed and said: "Jian Aiqing is kind, calm and serious, honest and good officials, and manages the household department in an orderly manner, and the ministers all praise it, the household department is under his control, the imperial grandfather and I have always been very relieved, but unfortunately the day is not a holiday, Jian Aiqing is old, I don't know who can share my worries."

Yang Shiqi, who has been in the officialdom for many years, doesn't believe the emperor's words, how many people are staring at the scholars and households, but most of them are old-fashioned ministers. The highest voice is the right to be respectful.

Quan Jin is a model figure of "filial piety" recorded in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", who once served as a member of the Guanglu Department, a scholar of the Mandarin Palace, and later served as the right senator of the General Political Department.

He used to be a university scholar, but when he got older, he quit. Now the young people are sharpening their knives, Li Qi supports the emperor's reform, and the officials are drinking the northwest wind, and they want to push the power out.

Whether to push the power or push Li Qi, Yang Shiqi is also very difficult. Quan Jin is more conservative and in line with everyone's wishes, but Li Qi is in line with His Majesty's wishes, and he is very embarrassed for a while.

Li Qi, who was in the train, looked at the teacher with burning eyes, and Yang Shiqi lowered his head.

Xia Yuanji said: "Your Majesty, the position of a scholar cannot be vacant forever, the minister thinks that there is a talented person in the court who can be a scholar."

Zhu Zhanji frowned and said curiously, "I don't know who Aiqing is referring to?"

"Your Excellency, the Right Senator of the General Administration."

As soon as he said this, many ministers echoed him.

Li Qi's face changed.

Zhu Zhanji was not happy after hearing this.

"Who?"

I don't know if Zhu Zhanji really didn't hear clearly, or if he had doubts about his hearing.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Right Senator of the General Affairs Department has the right to honor Your Excellency!" Xia Yuanji said word by word this time, "When the first emperor was here, he always said to the courtiers that he would start the rule of benevolence, and the people of the right would be famous for their filial piety, and then they would enter the cabinet, and the courtiers and the people would have no misfortune."

Zhu Zhanji looked a little stunned, he thought that many ministers would oppose it, but he didn't expect the old minister Xia Yuanji to jump out, it seems that the reform has made the gentry officials oppose, whether to suspend the reform, he clenched his fists, breathed a sigh of relief, he is familiar with history, but all the emperors who have made a difference, all have to sacrifice the interests of the gentry officials for the benefit of the people, Xia Yuanji is more conservative, he is old, and it is normal to oppose rapid innovation, thinking of this, he is not surprised and said: "Lord Quan is highly respected, often accompanies me, is a rare talent, I don't know what Quan Aiqing said?" He set his sights on Kwon.

The ministers of the DPRK and China all looked at him.

Quan Jin is seventy-three years old this year, and his beard is white, he doesn't know the reason why everyone pushed him out, in private, many ministers have looked for him. He also saw the pleading in the eyes of the new emperor Zhu Zhanji. Zhu Zhanji respects himself, he is like his own student, the student wants to do something, and the student wants to take the exam. If he agrees to become a university scholar, it will be a blow to the confidence of the students, and the limelight of reform will be suppressed.

The future of the Ming Dynasty, if it is not reformed, it will not collapse step by step, but what if it is reformed? Young people are fearless and know little, what can they toss into?

Quan thought about it again and again, and said: "Thank you for your majesty's love, but the minister is now dying, and he is a few years younger than the minister, and he can't be a director yet, not to mention the minister, recently, every time the minister suffers from the cold, he coughs more than once, his whole body aches, and he delays major events, and the minister asks Your Majesty to let the minister return to his hometown to retire and retire for the rest of his life." With that, he bowed down.

Zhu Zhanji hurriedly got down from the dragon chair and helped him up: "Aiqing, please get up quickly, now there is a lot of waste to be done, and the major affairs of the DPRK and China have to rely on Aiqing."

Quan Jin touched his tears: "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, the minister is very mediocre, over the years, there has been no achievement, it is the kindness of the first emperor and His Majesty, the minister has this treatment, the minister has followed His Majesty since the year of His Majesty's weak crown, watching His Majesty grow day by day, and now he is mighty and heroic, handsome and extraordinary, and the minister is very honored."

Speaking of the past, Zhu Zhanji's nose was sour, and when he raised his eyes, his lips were trembling when Quan Jin spoke, and he almost left tears. sighed and said: "I want Quan Aiqing to always accompany me, but when people are old, how can I deprive Aiqing of her old age, even so, I agree, go and spend time with my family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing Quan Jin leave, Zhu Zhanji said again: "I originally wanted to entrust Quan Aiqing with the important responsibility, but the sky is not a holiday, all the secretaries, but there are still candidates."

"Your Majesty, I would like to take up this position." Li Qi was afraid that they would recommend other people, so he recommended himself.

Everyone was shocked, and Xia Yuanji said, "Li Qi is so young, how can he be in charge of the household department and enter the cabinet."

Li Qi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Bachelor Xia's words are bad, Gan Luo was twelve years old to worship the prime minister, Mao Sui recommended himself, and made great contributions, Zhuge Liang was twenty-seven years old, he worshiped Liu Bei's military advisor, so Liu Bei galloped, three points of the world. Why does Bachelor Xia use his youth to talk about things? Xiaguan is not talented, he is twenty-eight years old this year, when Xiaguan came to the capital alone, he had no relatives, but he was the champion of high school, and he did things for His Majesty, and His Majesty appreciated everything, how can it be said that the minister's ability is insufficient!"

Jin Youzi said: "This master is in charge of the household, it is not simple, and it is not possible without experience."

Li Qi smiled and said, "Bachelor Jin's words are bad, before Bachelor Jin entered the cabinet, did he have any experience? If you have experience to do something, it's like a chicken or an egg."

Jin Youzi was dumbfounded.

Zhu Zhanji frowned, in fact, he also hoped that Li Qi would be in charge of the household department and preside over his own reforms, but he was not a foolish emperor, the household department was related to the country's financial revenue, it was too important, and the slightest thing could cause a big problem.

But he had already thought about it before, the Nanjing Zhang Ben incident is a good example, if it is not radical, the reform measures cannot be implemented, and he hates those officials the most, and he promised very well in his mouth, but he delayed it again and again, and only Li Qi was resolute and resolute.

At this time and then, after weighing it again and again, he said: "In this case, I will appoint Li Qi as a scholar of the temple, and also the secretary of the household department, what do you think?"

The ministers looked at each other and did not answer.

Zhu Zhanji raised his voice: "Spring hasn't passed yet, it's easy to get sleepy, are you taking a nap?" That looks like Zhu Di.

The ministers were sincerely frightened and said, "Your Majesty is serious, and the ministers are ashamed." Since Zhu Zhanji has talked about this, they will not give face if they oppose it, the key is that Zhu Zhanji is extremely assertive, and he will not be ambiguous when killing people, in order to save his life, he said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Once a son of heaven and a courtier!

This sentence will not be outdated for 10,000 years, this is not cruel, do not miss the old feelings, this is normal, everyone wants to use someone else they like, a person who disagrees with him every day, who can bear it.

This is the rule, if Jianyi doesn't leave, he can't change it for the time being, but the problem comes, Jianyi is gone, Zhu Zhanji wants to cultivate his own strength, he has to replace those conservative ministers, old people, the easiest to do things based on experience, don't like innovation and reform, but can't blame Zhu Zhanji for being ruthless and unrighteous.

Li Qi got his wish and was triumphant.

But Zhu Zhanji was not easy in his heart, although the appointment and dismissal were successful, but the ministers would definitely find trouble, he went to sit with Concubine Wu Xian for a while, and felt bored, so he went to the back garden to fight crickets.

He was fighting vigorously, and the voice behind him said, "Your Majesty seems to have something on your mind?"

"See the Queen Mother." The palace maids and eunuchs saluted one after another.

"Queen Mother, why are you here?"

"You, when you go down to the court, why don't you go to Queen Hu to sit and come to fight crickets."

At the beginning, Concubine Wu Xian and Empress Sun fought, Zhu Zhanji was bored and simply set up Empress Sun.

Zhu Zhanji frowned: "It's Queen Hu who went to the queen mother to complain?" I also began to dislike Empress Sun in my heart.

"You are the head of the family, they have soft ears and small hearts, they can compete for favor, the queen mother will not blame you, you have to take care of state affairs, family affairs, where can you manage it, but looking at your frowns, I guess the affairs of the court make my son embarrassed."

"Alas, Queen Mother, I want to do something, but the court and the middle are all old, I can only use Li Qi, but Li Qi is frivolous, and the sons are afraid of missing a big event."

The Queen Mother suddenly smiled.

"What is the Queen laughing at?" Zhu Zhanji was surprised.

"My son has forgotten your father's entrustment, you can consult Wei Ninghou for everything, although he is young, he is an important minister of your imperial grandfather and father, how can you leave him aside."

Zhu Zhanji smiled bitterly: "Wei Ninghou is very slippery, I have long intended him to take his father-in-law's position, but unfortunately he would rather pretend to be injured than enter the court, and the child has no choice."

The Empress Dowager shook her head: "That's because he avoided suspicion, since ancient times, Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, he is young, and his majesty is about to leave, he is afraid that his merits will shock the lord and cause jealousy, so he does not dare to rush to serve his life."

Zhu Zhanji was stunned, and slapped his head: "Thank you for the reminder from the queen mother, don't use suspicious people, don't be suspicious of employing people, I know what to do."
