As soon as Ming Sheng's words came out, it was finally his brother-in-law Zhou Wenbing who began to express his position.

"Lord Sun first toured Liaodong, and then supervised Jiliao, and Weichen thought that he was the only one who was the secretary of the military department."

Zhang Ruitu didn't come out on top just now, and when he was regretting it, Mingsheng's advisory opinion simply gave him an opportunity to show his loyalty.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister thought that Uncle Guo was very right."

After speaking, he was silent, this is his political wisdom, and it is enough to be able to explain his views in a concise and clear manner, after all, if you say too much, you will lose.

Zhang Weixian spoke next.

"The minister also thinks that Shi Shangshu's recommendation is correct, so the minister thinks that Lord Sun should serve as the secretary of the military department, so that my Ming military strength can be raised to a higher level."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

In the end, Li Guopu, who has always been kind-hearted, also said: "Lord Sun is my predecessors, and he is familiar with military affairs, so Master Sun should be the best person to take the post of secretary of the Ministry of War." ”

Well, honest people talk about flowers, and no one else has anything to do.

Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Ming Sheng pushed the boat down the river and said: "Since all Aiqing have the same opinion, then from now on, Shi Aiqing will step down from the post of first assistant and focus on coordinating the affairs of the department, and Sun Aiqing will be in charge of the military department and concurrently serve as the first assistant." ”

Minister, thank you Lord Longen

At this time, Sun Chengzong knew that it was not easy to push back, so he agreed directly.

What's more, Sun Chengzong also believes that he has the ability to serve as the first assistant to the cabinet.

Ming Sheng didn't know, and the courtiers didn't find out, in fact, they had invisibly broken a rule.

When the power was divided into six departments, the official department was always known as the "head of the six departments", so many times, the official department was always called "the heavenly official." ”

And now, from the moment when the military department Shangshu was named the first assistant, the six departments have vaguely respected the military department.

But at this time, Mingsheng's long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled, how could he take care of this, after Sun Chengzong served as the first assistant, he finally felt at ease about the cabinet.

In fact, the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty was originally created to share government affairs for the emperor, but Ming Sheng had not paid enough attention to it before and abandoned it, so although it seemed diligent, but in addition to the increase in workload, there was not much to do at all.

Now that it has been put in charge of "its own people", the overall operation of the cabinet is on the right track.

Ladies and gentlemen, now the eight books, the military department, the school department, and the science department have all been decided. The Shangshu of the other five parts will also discuss it together today

The courtiers were shocked, this is the rhythm of the "big blood exchange"!

Of the existing cabinet members, only Zhang Ruitu and Li Guopu have no positions, and the additional positions of the two in the cabinet are even more interesting.

Both of them entered the cabinet from the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but as I said before, Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is still in office, so the arrangement of the two has become a thorny problem.

If one of the two is arranged to serve as the cabinet minister in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, not only will the other person not agree, but I am afraid that Sun Shenxing may not agree.

But if you kick the two out directly, it will be too unkind.

Ming Sheng thought about this question, he was already worried, and secretly thought in his heart What is the situation, why are the only four ministers and three of them all the top ministers of the Ministry of Rites, how worthless this position is.

Zhang Ruitu secretly glanced at Ming Sheng, and he quickly guessed what Ming Sheng was thinking, and immediately got up from his seat and knelt on the ground, knocking his head a few times.

Your Majesty, Weichen has a word, I don't know whether to say it or not.

Looking at Zhang Ruitu's appearance in his chest, Mingsheng's heart moved.

Oh, what does Zhang Aiqing have to say in the future.

Your Majesty, the minister believes that it is more appropriate for the cabinet to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the current Ministry of Rites Sun Shenxing Sun, who will be transferred to the cabinet and the micro-minister, and the micro-minister will withdraw from the cabinet and return to the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for related matters.

is a good Zhang Ruitu, this move seems to be a short-term exit from the cabinet, but in fact it has not left the center of power.

You must know that Sun Shenxing is now over the age of six, his health is not very good, and his energy is limited, even if he enters the cabinet and becomes a cabinet minister, Sun Shenxing is still responsible for the actual related matters.

To put it mildly, now that Sun Shenxing is the cabinet minister in charge of the Ministry of Rites, then Li Guopu will definitely be in charge of other departments if he is still in the cabinet.

This guy is good at dancing with long sleeves, but that's fine, whether he can re-enter the cabinet in the later stage is not something he can say.

Ming Sheng thought of this in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Since then, it is really a little unfair to Zhang Aiqing. ”

"Your Majesty's words are wrong, you are worried about the country, how can you care about the level of your position, Weichen only has Da Ming in his heart, but not himself."

Zhang Ruitu said so eloquently that he was almost moved by himself, and said with joy in his heart: "Although I quit the cabinet for a short time, it is worth it to get His Majesty's favor, and I want that position in the end." ”

That's right, Zhang Ruitu is an ambitious person, and he has always dreamed of ascending to the position - the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about it, what is Zhang Aiqing's opinion?

Your Majesty, Lord Zhang is dedicated to the country and the people, it is better to fulfill the best, resign from the cabinet minister, but retain the position of Lord Zhang as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and be responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Rites.
