At this time, Zhu Gaoxu slowly found a place to sit under Xu Huizu, looking at Xu Huizu's defeated face, he continued: "When my father started the army, I was only a teenager, so I naturally followed my father. ”

"Am I wrong?"

"What does my uncle mean, I have to fight against my father, is it right?"

"Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher" Xu Huizu gritted his teeth and said: "You are a minister first, and then a son of man, of course, you are honored by filial piety to Your Majesty." ”

"If your Xu family ancestor knows, he will be ashamed of you and kick out of the Xu family ancestral hall." Zhu Gaoxu sneered.

Xu Huizu's face turned white with anger, and he didn't dare to scold him, he wanted to refute.

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "The sage has clouds, the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light, and the uncle claims to be a scholar, has he ever learned?" ”

"Parents and brothers, they are all for the people, family affection is supreme, there is no doubt about it, put the emperor above his biological parents, Xu Da is alive, and you will be killed."

Zhu Gaoxu openly called his father's name.

"You." Xu Huizu Huo Ran stood up, glared at Zhu Gaoxu, and after a few breaths, he still sat back hatefully.

He immediately smiled: "What you say sounds good, but for the sake of the emperor, you still don't even recognize your biological parents, do you believe what you say?" ”

Because they are not my biological parents, Zhu Gaoxu thought to himself, but of course he would not say this: "After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he killed all sides, I really regret aiding and abusing, and the reason why I raised troops is also for the people of the world." ”

Hahaha, Xu Huizu seems to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and he rebelled, causing many disasters in the world, and the people were not happy, but it was actually for the people.

"Uncle sees that after I become the emperor, can I kill one person indiscriminately?" Zhu Gaoxu said: "Whether you admit it or not, Gaoxu is more suitable to be the Ming Emperor than Zhu Di, and he will definitely do better." ”

"Uncle is not old, he can still sit in the house and watch, watching how Da Ming can become prosperous and prosperous under the rule of Gao Xu, and be famous at home and abroad."

"I'll stare at it." Xu Huizu was not convinced.

Zhu Gaoxu brushed his sleeves away, and Wang Zhenliang hurriedly followed.

After leaving Xu's mansion, Zhu Gaoxu stood at the door and looked at it, and said to Zhou Hu: "Leave a hundred acres of land for Xu Hui's ancestral family, and the rest of the property will be confiscated, no longer imprisoned, and let him be free." ”

"Copying his mansion and changing it to a two-bedroom cottage, let him recognize himself well, if he wasn't born after his meritorious service, he Xu Huizu would be a fart, would he be able to survive in Daming."

"Yes."

Zhu Gaoxu deposed all the lords of the Xu family, and the Xu family has lost their source of income, and now they are left with a hundred acres of land, to see how capable Xu Huizu is.

Didn't he want to see what Zhu Gaoxu made of Daming? Just let him take a good look.

Liu Jun was moved to look at it from the side.

He knew that Xu Huizu chased and killed Zhu Gaoxu back then, and the two uncles and nephews should have a deep enmity in the sea of blood, but the emperor was so benevolent, it was really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Jun couldn't help but say again: "Your Majesty is benevolent, enough to be passed down through the ages." ”

Zhu Gaoxu, who was a sycophant, turned around and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Liu Butang, you don't pat yourself on the back and do more." ”

"Your Majesty." Liu Jun said with a smile.

After returning to the imperial city, Zhu Gaoxu came to the Huagai Hall (Zhongji Hall).

The Huagai Hall is behind the Fengtian Palace, and in the past, the emperor did not care about Jianwen or Yongle, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, he usually received his subordinates in two places.

One is the Wuying Palace, and the other is the East Warm Pavilion.

The East Warm Pavilion is behind the Qianqing Palace, and the Qianqing Palace is where the emperor lives, so if the emperor gathers his ministers at night, he is more in the East Warm Pavilion.

After Zhu Gaoxu became the emperor, he felt that it was too far from His Royal Highness Fengtian to the Wuying Palace, and even farther to the Dongnuan Pavilion, and behind the Fengtian Hall was the Huagai Palace, so he decided to change the place for deliberations and official affairs in the future to the Huagai Palace.

In the Wuying Palace, there are more important conference rooms, which have huge world map sand tables and other things, which can be used when holding conferences.

In the past, the emperor was used to doing things in the Wuying Palace, and there were other reasons, because the lower right corner of the Wuying Hall was the Liuke Corridor, which was close to the emperor and could work with the emperor.

There are a lot of government affairs in a dynasty, and the emperor is sometimes too busy, and the trivial things below can be dealt with.

So this will be the Ming Dynasty's transcript process is like this.

When the officials play, they are all in duplicate, one is called the original, the other is called the copy, and it is first submitted to the General Administration, and after the General Administration Department obtains it, the original is handed over to the emperor by the General Administration.

After Zhu Di came to power, he formed the first batch of cabinets, and then Zhu Di would pick a group of unimportant ones and hand them over to the cabinet, and approve some important ones himself.

After Zhu Di's death, in the Xuande era, the order changed, all of them were handed over to the cabinet first, and the cabinet voted (write out the handling opinions), and then handed over to the emperor, after the emperor's approval, handed over to the celebrant supervisor, and then the emperor, if he didn't want to take care of things, directly let the celebrant approve, and the official documents were only circulated between the cabinet and the celebrant supervisor, and the power of the celebrant was greatly promoted.

The copy will be handed over to the six departments first, and the matters that belong to that department will be handed over to that department by the six departments.

For example, if it is a military matter, it will be handled by the military department and given to the military department.

So there are some originals here, some of the originals are still in the hands of the cabinet, and the copies have been sent to the six departments and six departments, and ordinary officials know about these things before the emperor.

Then the original approved by the emperor is called the red book, and it will be handed over to the six departments for archiving and copied to the relevant departments.

In addition, there is also a department called 'newspaper room' that will come to the six departments to copy relevant information, compile and distribute the newspaper, and release it publicly.

The Ming Dynasty's handling of political affairs has always been so open, and the circulation procedures are also very strict and standardized, but it can be seen that often the emperor is the last to know the specific content.

And if it is a magistrate's script, it is often the last person to receive the reply.

After Zhu Gaoxu became emperor, he felt that the process was too cumbersome and not confidential enough.

If it is important military information, the original has not yet reached the emperor, and the copy has already gone through the six sections, and then to the relevant departments of the six sections, (and the six departments give things to the middle are all low-level officials of the seventh or eighth grade), and by the next day, it is estimated that half of the officials of the Beijing division know these news.

The openness of government affairs is a good thing for future generations, but it will certainly be too inefficient.

For example, the emperor didn't know about the defeat ahead, but the officials in Beijing almost knew about it.

Therefore, Zhu Gaoxu wants to restructure.

Today, when he arrived at the Huagai Palace, he saw several piles of folds on the imperial case and on the ground, and he had a cursory look at at least hundreds of copies.

Special mother, he secretly scolded in his heart, this emperor is really not good.

How good are the leaders of the future generations, you don't have to do anything, just move your mouth, why am I so busy now?

"Chuan Huang Huai, Hu Guang, Hu Yan, Jin Youzi - Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu -——" Zhu Gaoxu thought about it, as if there were only a few people in the cabinet at the beginning of Yongle.

Xie Jin was kicked out by him, and the previous Zhu Di used it, and Yang Pu was one of the three Yangs.

Immediately after his order went down, a eunuch galloped away on horseback outside.

Now Zhu Gaoxu lives in the Forbidden City and is allowed to ride horses in the imperial city, but the horses ridden by the eunuchs are covered with special yellow saddles, which represent the transmission of the emperor's will or oracle.

Because the Huagai Hall is close to more than a mile from the noon gate, everything in the imperial city used to be walked, and it took half a day to go outside.

The emperor summons a person, and the foundation starts in half an hour, and the slow one hour will arrive.

Now Zhu Gaoxu wants to improve efficiency.

The eunuch rode a horse with a special saddle and galloped to the noon gate.

At noon, there are also horses prepared at the Jinyi Guard, for example, the emperor wants to summon five people, and the Jinyi Guard dispatches ten people, one for each of them, and the eunuchs share the five ministers' houses, if there is a way, you can have one or two less.

So that efficiency comes out.

In the past, when the emperor passed the decree, the eunuchs walked out of the imperial city, and then went to inform them one by one, running down in a circle, sometimes for an hour.

The two people who delivered the message came to Huang Huai's house, and Huang Huai immediately left the house as soon as he heard the emperor's greeting.

One of the brocade guards asked, "Does Lord Huang know how to ride a horse?" ”

Huang Huai nodded and said yes.

The Jinyi guards gave up their horses, and the two Jinyi guards rode a horse together, and Huang Huai entered the palace first.

If Huang Huai said no, there would be a brocade guard riding a horse to take him.

The communication was full of horses, and in less than half an hour, Huang Huai and the others came to the Huagai Hall one after another, and the efficiency was unprecedentedly good.

A few people first visited the emperor, and then looked at the Huagai Palace, and felt that the layout inside had completely changed.

On the west wall is the new map of the Ming Dynasty, including Cochin, Malaysia and other places, and the world map on the east wall.

Such a map is also available in Wuying Palace, and it is larger and clearer, and there is also a sand table.

There was a long table in the middle, three zhang long and one zhang wide, and the emperor sat on the north side, with many stools on both sides.

The imperial case is behind the long table, and all the folds are piled on the long table.

The long table was also steeped in steaming tea, and there were even dried fruit desserts and fruits.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yang Pu first.

In the early years of Yongle, Yang Pu served as the prince to wash the horse and became the East Palace subordinate of the abolished prince Zhu Gaochi, who was originally a confidant of Zhu Gaochi, but he was lucky, Zhu Gaochu raised the army, his father died, and according to the Ming system, he went home to guard filial piety.

When the period of filial piety expired, just as Zhu Gaoxu entered the Beijing Division, he returned to the Hanlin Academy.

At that time, someone impeached him as a confidant of the abolished prince, and after Zhu Gaoxu saw his name, he noticed him.

Yang Pu was also the first to see the new emperor, and his expression was a little nervous.

"Find your own seat." There were also more than a dozen books piled up in front of the emperor, and he should have approved them himself.

The ministers looked at each other, and then looked for their respective positions, only to find that there were a number of wooden plaques on the table, with names written on them.

They sat down at the name, quite far apart, and it was very strange, but it was really refreshing.

"I want to reform the script, and when the officials play the script in the future, the original copy will be sent to the Huagai Hall by the General Administration Department first."

"The original and copy of each minister are put together, and the general administration uses a special wooden box to place it, seal the wax, except for the urgent one, and send it to the noon gate every day before three o'clock, and after the noon gate is inspected, it will be sent to the Huagai Palace."

Expedited is delivered immediately without delay.

Huang Huai and the others didn't dare to say anything, and listened quietly.

"A few of you, every day after the court, you come to the Huagai Palace, and you eat lunch and dinner in the Huagai Palace."

How many people looked at each other, this is going to be a busy day? In the future, everyone will scold the capitalist exploiting class in unison, but this will make everyone want to be with the emperor every day.

"Every few days, when there are few twists and turns, I only need to stay with two people, and the rest can rest for a day."

Zhu Gaoxu was kind enough to let them rest, not to mention two days off, at least to give a single rest, but I didn't expect that later these people rushed to stay, and no one was willing to rest.

"Obey." Several people answered.

At this time, someone had already discovered that the original copies of the folds on the table were all together, and they should have been sent recently.

"You have a general look first, everything about the Ministry of Rites will be handed over to Huang Huai."

"Everything about the Ministry of Industry is about Hu Guang"

"The household department will hand over to Yang Pu."

"The officials are handed over to Hu Yan."

"The Criminal Department will hand over Jin Youzi."

"The military department will be handed over to Yang Rong."

"If the six can't be determined, give it to Yang Shiqi."

Zhu Gaoxu happily assigned all the twists and turns to people.

Seeing that they couldn't wait to get busy, Zhu Gaoxu took a sip of tea and lifted Erlang's legs, this is the life of the emperor.
