The palace is the busiest during the day, and at night it is exceptionally quiet.

The sudden silence after a busy day can be a bit difficult to adapt, and in severe cases, it can even lead to insomnia.

After bathing, Zhu Houzhao wore white soft satin and a plush coat on his body, so that it was not cold. Because I had to go to bed, my hair was not tied, so I wore it casually.

When the emperor has a good, it is where it is sour and swollen, and there is no shortage of people to rub it.

The emperor lay on the soft collapse in his robe, several palace maids took turns to serve, and several eunuchs stood beside him.

In this way, Zhu Houzhao can sleep better.

"You are here."

"The slave is here."

"Who's going to have the least people tonight?"

You Ji lowered his head and bent down slightly, "I just went to ask, the old mansion of Xiaowang Pavilion is the most deserted." ”

Zhu Houzhao sniffed, rubbed it again, and a few thoughts flashed in his heart. Wang Bing is actually not such a person, but he has become smarter and smarter in recent years, and he has begun to 'cherish his feathers'.

In this case, the person is more 'fun', otherwise it is too unintelligent and actually not interesting.

He had a hunch that Wang Ting's transfer from Shaanxi might cause some slight waves in the court, but if Wang Bing was so calm, others would not have enough weight to stir up anything.

In this way, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Zhengde five years and six years are very critical two years.

In the past two years, we are not preparing for war, but we must cultivate our internal strength and accumulate national strength.

Whether Yan Song is in the southwest or Zhou Shangwen is in the northwest, as long as the situation does not change drastically, then the status quo is maintained.

The grassland had escaped from the fire screen, but had not dared to commit it again.

Although the threat at sea is brewing, the Ming Dynasty itself also needs a period of preparation.

So these two to three years are a rare period of stability.

His heart gradually relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep.

March 8th, the final closing time.

Cheng Guogong and the four members of the cabinet sat in the emperor's warm pavilion.

“…… The reason why Wang Qiong and Feng Xi were sent to the north. The direct cause is that Shanxi has commanded the rebellion, which can be regarded as a wake-up call to me and the imperial court. I changed people to deal with the possibility of such things, and Wang Qiong and Feng Xi are extremely experienced. ”

The emperor's words are very interesting and extremely experienced? What is the experience? Is it the experience gained in suppressing those who oppose the opening of the sea?

However, the Son of Heaven wants to employ people, and the cabinet has no room for interference.

The person who will oppose the most may be Yang Yiqing, but he is not so capable, because one of these two people is related to Wang Wei and the other is related to Wang Bing, and the two people behind his ass support it.

"Wang and Feng are both capable ministers for a while, and they will not disappoint Your Majesty's holy will. However, the two provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian are related to maritime trade, and they also need capable people to take over. ”

Wang Wei's words made Wang Bing care a little.

What he cares about is what happens to the emperor, although Wang Qiong hopes that his people can take over Zhejiang, but Wang Bing himself is against it. Cutting constantly, rationalizing and messing up, leaving those people behind is a scourge to Wang Qiong.

Zhu Houzhao reached out and took something from You Ji's hand, it was a piece of paper, the list he had originally written.

"This is not a decree, nor is it a dictation. You see, if there are better ideas, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

The four old men took turns watching.

Because Wang Tingxiang was transferred to Sichuan, Fei Hong had to have a new place to go - the governor of Fengyang and the governor of Caoyun.

The governor of Baoding did not have a 'fake hand on others', and Guo Shangkun also went north.

In this way, if you spread out the map, you will find that the important Xinjiang ministers around Beizhili are almost all filled with the ministers promoted by these emperors.

Wang Jing, the governor of Shuntian, Feng Xi, the governor of Shanxi, and Guo Shangkun, the governor of Baoding...... Even if you go a little further south, Peng Ze, the governor of Henan, and Liu Jian, the governor of Shandong......

This is an iron bucket array, in the past, it was said to guard against the north, even if there is chaos in the south now, it is 108,000 miles away from the capital division.

After reading it, Yang Yiqing was still the same as before, and it was difficult to say anything.

The Son of Heaven is very assertive, and the arrangement is not leaky, even if there is something different from what each of them thinks, it may be because the Son of Heaven has other considerations.

In short...... He doesn't want to be the elder of the Banzai Pavilion, but many times he can only say Banzai.

Then continue to look back, Zhang Li, the political envoy of Fujian, actually patrolled Zhejiang.

"Your Majesty." Wang Wei, a righteous gentleman, had to speak first, "Zhang Li is not yet forty years old, his merits have not been established, and his virtue has not been accumulated, so he is entrusted by the ministers of Xinjiang, and the ministers are afraid that he will be incompetent, and then he will spoil His Majesty's southeast plan, which is a deep crime." Therefore, please think twice and choose a virtuous and respected minister to live! ”

Zhu Houzhao crossed his hands and hugged his chest, "Sir, Zhejiang is a sea trade, and the overseas things that the sea trade has come into contact with are all new, and being young is actually an advantage." ”

"Then you can also let him assist an old minister first, so that you can be stable."

"No, there is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need for suspicious people. There will always be a first time. I remember you said that this man is righteous, shrewd, and that is enough. ”

"What about the Fujian political envoy?"

Zhu Houzhao said casually: "Let Zhejiang's political envoy take over." and then transferred Shaofu Langzhong Song Heng to make up for the lack of political envoys in Zhejiang. Zhejiang's envoy should be surnamed Zheng, and that person is not bad, so he was transferred to Shandong as the political envoy. ”

The emperor arranged it this way, and Wang Bing knew that things were not so simple.

Zhejiang officials did not leave it to Wang Qiong, obviously knowing what he had done.

And in the end, the emperor suddenly mentioned the political envoy of Shandong, it was because there was a vacancy in this position, because the original political envoy of Shandong was transferred to Fujian as the governor.

This person's surname is Shunyou, and he is the person promoted and appointed by Liu Jian.

Shandong has appeared in the limelight this year, although Liu Jian has made great contributions, but in the end, he is a little old man of nearly eighty, no matter how subtle the idea, he must do the same thing as the people below.

There is also an advantage to this, and officials in Shandong are more pragmatic.

Liu Xixian now has a very high status in Qingliu, because he has a good official reputation and a heavy official position, and the Son of Heaven has taken care of his 'face' many times, and his status can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai.

No matter how dangerous the officialdom is, it can't be dangerous for him, unless he can't get along with himself.

But Liu Jian is not that kind of person, he was originally upright, and at this age, it is impossible not to pay attention to the name behind him, so it is really not to talk about governing for the people, being honest and honest, and abiding by the law.

Therefore, he, the governor, will not bury the talents of the province, in addition to serving the people for a few years in power, he also promoted a group of upright ministers for the imperial court, and never robbed his subordinates of the merits - those credits are no longer meaningful to him.

This is a good thing, the people he brought out, Zhu Houzhao can be used directly.

Wang Wei and Yang Yiqing were speechless about this appointment.

With Liu Jian and Shandong's civil affairs achievements as an endorsement, no matter how you look at it, this arrangement can't go wrong.

In this way, the structure of the national governors has been basically reshaped.

Only one was missing.

Yang Tinghe didn't look left or right, "Your Majesty, Gu Yishan (Gu Renyizi) has unloaded the Shuntian Governor, and it seems that he has not been appointed?" ”

The Emperor nodded, "He'll wait." ”

Gu Renyi was originally brought out by Fei Hong from Sichuan, this guy has a bit of a feeling of being an official and not wanting to die, and he dares to participate in any problem. It's a bit like Wang Wei twenty years ago, he hasn't figured out how to use it again.

“…… In addition to the adjustment of governors in various places, this year's court meeting will finally announce one thing, that is, the court meeting will be changed to once every two years in the future, Zhengde will no longer be set up in six years, and Zhengde will enter Beijing again in seven years. Of course, if there is a will to declare, no matter who it is, no matter how far away, it is necessary to enter Beijing or enter Beijing.

After the personnel adjustment, if it involves the clean-up of military cantonment provinces, it is necessary to ensure the stability of the situation, and even if there is chaos, it is necessary to pay attention to quickly quelling the rebellion; For others involved in the promotion of sweet potatoes, you can explain the methods and requirements to them one by one, and do things according to the rules. ”

"Yes!"

"The Cabinet continues to be stable. The Cabinet has the responsibility of assisting the Son of Heaven, and this year and even next year, I will see results in both of these things. In the process, you can tell the reasons and difficulties, but when it comes to the node, it is not a reason, but an excuse. I said these ugly words in the front, and I hope that all four of you can understand my intentions. ”

"Ministers remember the Hadith!"

Zhu Houzhao finally got up, "Because there will be no court meeting next year, I want to say a few more words today." Zhengde five years, six years is a very critical two years, what is being done now, if it is done, then the annual income can be more than 40 million stones, and most of the border army salary can be produced by the grain of the army, the world's displaced people also have sweet potatoes to fill their hunger, at that time the prosperity of the said, more deserved. If it doesn't work, many of our monarchs and ministers' previous efforts are still just scratching the itch in their boots, and maybe some problems will come back.

To this end, I will do my best, and I also want the cabinet to be determined to succeed if it does not succeed, and must do these two major things well! Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety, and I have been poor for several years so far, and I must not give up halfway! ”

All four members of the cabinet looked up and saw the emperor's gaze. There is absolutely no hint of falsification in that seriousness.

Wang Wei's thoughts drifted back to the eleventh year of Hongzhi, when he and the prince agreed that they must prosper the Ming Dynasty, and once again let the Quartet serve and all countries will come to court!

After so many long years, we are finally coming to the final threshold.

As the emperor said, this pass has passed, and from then on, the Ming soldiers will have enough food, and the mainland can also be lightly endowed.

It was a little sour to say it, Wang Wei was emotionally uncontrollable, and said loudly: "The old minister is willing to assist His Majesty and revitalize the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"What a good one to revive the prestige of the Ming Dynasty!"

That's what you want!

~~

After calming down a little, Zhu Houzhao was about to end the conference and asked, "Do you have any other important things?" ”

Cheng Guogong, who was sitting on the side, waited for a long time and didn't wait for the opportunity to interject, and when he saw that it was about to end, he was suddenly a little anxious, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say." ”

"Speak!"

"Yes. The old minister listened to Pinghaibo's words, and there may be changes in overseas trade. Because the old minister wants to ask His Majesty to decide on the establishment of the water division again. ”

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, he is not in a hurry about this matter now, but these people are in a hurry.
