"I'm so refreshed today!"

Zhu Gaoyao sat in the imperial study with a smile on his face, and Zhang Yingzhen took the peeled grapes and put them into Zhu Gaoyao's mouth.

"Didn't that just scare those people? What is there to be happy about! ”

"How can you not be happy?"

Zhu Gaoyao shook his head,

"These people were originally a group of loose sand who couldn't get together, but now they are all tied to a rope by Yang Shiqi!"

Zhu Gaojiao ate the grapes in his mouth, which were sweet and sour, and worthy of being a tribute to the palace.

"It's like, I raised a bunch of things that don't get angry, and suddenly one day they know how to work together, doesn't that make me happy?"

When Zhang Yingzhen heard it, she also smiled and said,

"They are all important ministers of our Ming Dynasty, what you said, how can they be the same as chickens in the chicken coop!"

"Hey, is this a metaphor? Metaphorical, and even if it's a little inappropriate, it's not much worse! ”

Zhu Gaoyao was reviewing the recital, and at the same time laughing and playing with Zhang Yingzhen, which was called a relaxed and happy one.

"Your Majesty, Lord Yang Shiqi of the Cabinet Capital asks to see you!"

Yang Shiqi?

Why is this guy here again? Are you here to tell yourself about the morning?

And didn't I say that? Yang Shiqi can enter and leave the imperial study at will, and he doesn't need to say hello to me.

You see, the first few times, when Su Wu and Yang Shiqi came, the little eunuch at the door didn't come in to report.

Why did you come up and report this time?

The eunuch also saw what Zhu Gaoyao was thinking, and hurriedly whispered.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already persuaded outside, but Lord Yang insisted on reporting it, and said that he was guilty, and he came to punish him today!"

Guilty?

Zhu Gaoyi immediately became interested after hearing this, he said that he was guilty when he went to the court this morning, and said that he was guilty when he criticized the pleats in the imperial study in the afternoon, do you like to find guilt.

"Okay, then let him in and tell him about his sins!"

The little eunuch immediately ran out to report, and not long after, he saw a figure in tattered clothes, kneeling into the house!

"Are you...... Yang Shiqi?"

Zhang Yingzhen almost didn't recognize him just now.

"Yang Shiqi, the guilty minister, knock to see Your Majesty, knock to see the queen!"

The clothes were broken, but they looked more like they were drawn out of wattles, and there were a lot of broken blood stains on the skin.

"Yang Shiqi, I don't blame you, why did you come down to plead guilty?"

Zhu Gaoyi can actually guess what Yang Shiqi is talking about, after all, there is only one mistake he has made in the recent period, and that is to let the potato seedlings in the back mountain suffer seedlings!

But this is not his main responsibility, not to mention that even the old farmer who planted potatoes on the back mountain, Zhu Gaoyao did not hold him accountable.

"Your Majesty, the minister is indeed guilty, because ...... at that time"

Yang Shiqi wanted to state his sins, but was directly stopped by Zhu Gaoyi.

"Okay, we all know what you did, but have you ever thought that the main responsibility for this matter lies with me, not the old farmer who planted potatoes in the back mountain, let alone Yang Shiqi, who has been supervising the country and doing his best for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty......"

It can be seen that Yang Shiqi is very grateful for these words, but the stubbornness in the bones of the reader is not something that can be broken back with a few simple words.

"It's because I didn't think of this, and I'll tell you about the precautions for potato planting!"

"It's because of my negligence that it led to all this, so where do you get the responsibility!"

Seeing that Yang Shiqi wanted to say something, but Zhu Gaoyi didn't intend to give him a chance to speak, but said immediately.

"Besides, what is the use of mere punishment when the matter has come to this?"

"Even if I cut off you and the old farmer's head now, will you be able to recover the loss of the back mountain?"

Obviously, no, this is a foregone conclusion, and no one can change anything.

"But you know, you are the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and you are my right-hand man, this Ming can do without potatoes, but not without you, Yang Aiqing!"

Yang Shiqi burst into tears, and he couldn't wait to take out his heart at this moment and send it to Zhu Gao's heart.

"Well, since you want to be punished, it proves that you are a strict self-discipliner, and I will not break your rules for this!"

Zhu Gaoyi thought about it, if there was no war within this year, then it seemed that there were no very heavy tasks that needed to be handed over to Yang Shiqi.

However, since there is no such thing under the current system, I can reform the system!

For example, parliamentary system, cabinet system, constitutional monarchy or something.

Of course, Zhu Gaofu may talk about democracy, but in fact, he will definitely not delegate power.

After all, the more you are in a high position, the more obsessed you are with it.

You can go up, but you don't want to step down, unless others force you, otherwise, how many of you voluntarily abdicate when you are still in the prime of life?

"Then I will let you select a cabinet composed of merchants, officials of the six ministries, and scholars within a month!"

"And your power will be distributed among everyone in this cabinet!"

In short, I took off your official hat and gave you a random errand!

After Zhang Yingzhen heard this, her face suddenly changed, she was fine in front, why did she directly dismiss Yang Shiqi's official position later?

And Yang Shiqi is guilty of petitioning,

"Your Majesty, didn't you say that there is nothing wrong with this? Why did he act so ruthlessly and take off Yang Shiqi's official hat?"

Zhang Yingzhen didn't understand.

Even Yang Shiqi didn't think of this, but when he thought that this was His Majesty's punishment for himself, he was immediately relieved and accepted it in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Even the little eunuch on the side was blindsided for a long time after listening, what's going on? That first assistant Yang Shiqi, a scholar of Yang University, was dismissed like this?

It's too sudden, there's not even a signal.

"Okay, I'm tired today, so you can step back, and after you form a cabinet, you will prepare for the transfer of power!"

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Yingzhen felt that this punishment was too heavy, and wanted to redeem it for Yang Shiqi.

"That Weichen retires!"

"Yang Shiqi, you stop in the palace and beg Your Majesty to intercede, don't leave like this, Your Majesty just said that Daming can't do without you!"

The little eunuch on the side couldn't figure it out, Your Majesty clearly said that Yang Shiqi is indispensable in the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty is indispensable to him, so why do you say that you will be dismissed?

This is too unbelievable, isn't it?

"I have my own plans, so don't get involved!" (End of chapter)
