Chen Xing and others from the Liwei camp surrendered, and Zhang Mao walked straight into the Fengtian Temple. I heard Zhu Houzhao admonishing the ministers: "The name of my year, the imperial examination has already made a decision, and the word is right!" All of you Aiqing are worthy of the imperial examination and promoted from the end of the micro-end, and most of them are loyal pillars. However, there are also ordinary scum who turn against the rebels and thieves! All the secretaries take this as a warning! Lord Liu, the number of people in the cabinet is too small, I am too young, and the society is heavy, I am afraid that there is something missing. Let's see if you want to nominate two people into the cabinet! ”

Liu Jian was stunned, and Zhu Houzhao explained: "Funerals, quelling chaos, and trials all need important ministers. You, Master Li, and Master Xie are all old people, and I can't bear to let you work too hard! ”

Xie Qian knew in his heart that this was just the case! So he played the game: "What Your Majesty said is very true, the minister recommended Yang Tinghe!" ”

That's what Zhu Houzhao means! When all the horses were together, Yang Tinghe spoke up righteously, and he was his own teacher, and he was definitely his own person! The cabinet doesn't use its own people, who does it use?

Liu Jian looked at Yang Tinghe and shook his head: "Yang Tinghe has not experienced specific affairs, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take on a heavy responsibility!" ”

Yang Tinghe also played the game: "Your Majesty! Please be the governor of a prefecture, and ask Your Majesty to promote it when you have the ability! ”

After discussing for a long time, only another East Palace attendant was selected to speak Liu Zhong and entered the cabinet, and the other place was temporarily vacant.

Zhang Mao didn't change his official uniform, he knelt on one knee in bloodstained armor: "Zhang Mao, the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, has seen Your Majesty, and you can't do full salutes with armor, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Houzhao personally walked down the jade steps and helped Zhang Mao up: "The British Duke fought hard for the country and killed his relatives with righteousness, how can I blame him if I only have admiration?" ”

Zhang Mao took advantage of the situation to stand up and pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty is merciful, but the minister is afraid." As the governor of the Five Armies, he could not gain insight into Zhu Heming's treacherous plans in advance, and he could not quell the rebellion in time, so that the Forbidden City was destroyed. Can't restrain the family, the minister's eldest brother is rebellious, and the minister has no face to the first emperor, please surrender your majesty! ”

In the end, it is an old fritter in the officialdom, don't talk about the credit, ask for the guilt first, and put yourself in a position where the emperor can let the emperor fall, you Zhu Houzhao can't be wiped out to the end, right? This is also a measure to test the new emperor's rule, to see if this emperor is good to serve.

Zhu Houzhao also understood what Zhang Mao meant, this trick to ask for directions is not only to pick himself out, but also to give the emperor a chance to clarify his political position, and the next work can be grasped by the ministers. Old guy, it's high!

He nodded: "I naturally know the heart of the British duke, but if a loyal person like the British duke also wants to be punished, won't it chill the hearts of the courtiers?" I don't take it. Father-in-law Xiao, the proposed purpose, the British public righteousness and hard work are high, and you can choose a son other than the prince to grant the marquis. Well, let's just merge with the state. Liu Ge Lao, what is the opinion of the cabinet? ”

Liu Jian sighed in his heart, the persuasion just now made the emperor feel guilty, and the cabinet was about to change blood! Alas, cause and effect have already been planted, so what can I do? Let's take it one step at a time. I had no choice but to nod: "Your Majesty is very worried, the British Duke has indeed worked hard and made great achievements, and he can be called a model for his ministers, and His Majesty's move is very appropriate." The minister seconded the proposal! ”

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself that you knew each other! Looking up at the ministers, he saw that some important ministers did not appear. So he asked, "Where is Lord Mu Bin at this time?" ”

"The minister is one step late, please forgive the prince!" Outside the palace gate, Mu Bin was covered in blood and was helped into the hall by a little eunuch.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, and then stretched. He looked at Liu Jin: "Liu Jin, quickly announce that the imperial doctor will treat Mu Aiqing." ”

Only then did Mu Bin find that there was a lot of vegetarianism in the hall, and Zhu Houzhao in a white robe was sitting on the dragon chair, his head buzzed, and he stumbled under his feet, and he passed out on the spot.

Zhu Houzhao hurriedly instructed Liu Jin to carry Mu Bin aside for medical treatment, thought about it for a while, and began to expound his philosophy of governing the country: "My father has always taught me to be cautious in governing and to walk on thin ice, and I think so. Now that the Ming Dynasty is politically clear, even if there is something wrong, it is only a problem of ringworm, which is not enough to hurt the muscles and bones. King Wu promoted industry, and I thought it was very necessary. Industry has the power to turn decay into magic, and all the ministers believe that they all see it. However, the harm of industry should not be ignored, and it is better to slow down the pace of development than to endanger the Ming Dynasty. I will discuss this matter with King Wu, and all the ministers can rest assured. Zhu Heming conspired against him, and handed it over to the three legal divisions of Dali Siqing, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate for trial, and in line with the principle of eliminating evil, the adults were dutifully investigated and investigated, so as not to let the traitors escape. ”

Liu Jian's heart sank, what is this? Want to build a big prison? Zhu Houzhao was jealous of Hua Houwei, and the restriction of industry was originally expected, what was the purpose of Xingda Prison? Exclusion of dissidents? Alas, if you don't occupy an absolute advantage, you will move other people's jobs, and even ask for people's lives. Zhu Houzhao is ambitious, it seems that he is ambitious and talented, and the world will be in trouble from now on! Zhu Houwei, Zhu Houwei, why don't you dare to take that step?

Min Gui agreed with Zhu Houzhao's political declaration, the benefits of industry are obvious, and it is impossible not to develop; But the disadvantage is also innate, if you don't limit it, the country will not be a country. His Majesty's concept is to be old and seek the country, and it is very bright!

He was swept away by the frustration of the fall of his ally Zhou Jing, and he received the order in high spirits: "Minister Min Gui obeys the holy order!" Your Majesty, the minister deeply agrees with what His Majesty said, industry is a good thing, without industry, how can there be a great victory in Liangshan? I am waiting in this Fengtian Temple of the ninth winter, how can I be so comfortable? It's all thanks to industry. But nothing can be good alone, and the same is true for industry. King Wu once said the solution, but the minister did not see it. As the saying goes, seeing is believing and hearing is false, industry should still slow down a little, restrict it slightly, and adopt its strengths and avoid its shortcomings, which is the way of governance! Wechen admires it to the extreme! ”

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed, it seems that his strategy is right! Industry is good, and it must not be wasted because of choking, because of a few flaws, it is stupid to abandon industry; But you can't let industry run wild, you have to add a halter. In fact, he vaguely understood in his heart that industry is Hua Hou Wei, Hua Hou Wei is industry, and restricting industry is restricting Hua Hou Wei, so Hua Hou Wei will not threaten Zhu Houzhao's status. When he was eavesdropping in the palace just now, the ministers persuaded Huahou Wei to be the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao's heart was cold. At that moment, he didn't dare to guarantee that when Hua Houwei stood in front of him and had a knife in his hand, he would not cut it down!

Zhu Houzhao nodded approvingly: "Lord Min, that's what I mean!" What else do you have for advice? ”

Wang Hua stood up tremblingly, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the industry is still weak, if it is restricted now, will the industry not develop at all?" ”
