The next day, the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the thirteenth day of the first month.

The sky has just dawned, and the prison of the criminal department.

The jailers, who were originally lazy, suddenly cheered up at this moment, and all of them straightened their waists.

Lu Zongyi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, bowed in front to lead the way, and the prince Zhu Biao walked quickly to a cell, the candle flame was flickering, and there was an old man in it, sitting calmly in front of the prison case.

"Open the door."

Lu Zongyi couldn't wait for the jailer to open it, so he personally snatched the key from the jailer's hand and opened the door.

"Master Song."

Zhu Biao entered the cell, strode in front of Song Lian, and made a student salute.

"Oh, Your Highness is here."

Song Lian opened his wrinkled eyes slightly, and looked at the most proud student in his life, with a smile in his eyes.

"The old man can still see His Highness before he dies, and the Yellow Springs are nine secluded, but it's worth it."

Obviously, in Song Lian's view, Zhu Biao came in a hurry to see himself off.

"Congratulations to Song Shoufu, the head of the hundred officials!"

Lu Zongyi on the side spoke in a loud voice.

'Shousuke? ’

'The chief of a hundred officials? ’

Song Lian's white eyebrows furrowed, there was no joy in his eyes, all of them were puzzled, because he didn't know what Shoufu was at all, and he never remembered that there was such a thing in the official position of this dynasty.

"Master Song, in the early dynasty today, my father decreed the abolition of the prime minister's system, the division of power into six ministries, and the establishment of a cabinet, and Master Song, you are the first cabinet chief assistant appointed by your father."

Smiling, Zhu Biao knew that it was difficult for Song Lian to understand these contents with just a few words, so he simply sat down opposite Song Lian and explained to Song Lian in detail what the cabinet system was.

After all, most of the political affairs of the Hongwu Dynasty were handled by Zhu Biao, so Song Lian, the first assistant of the cabinet, would naturally become Zhu Biao's deputy in the future.

Meanwhile.

Drunken Immortal Building, the main hall.

The original land of fireworks and willows has completely changed after a night of rapid renovation.

Gone is the smell of kitsch, replaced by the smell of books.

There are two vertical couplets on the left and right, and the font dragon flies and the phoenix dances, hanging down from the top.

On the left: there is no good and no disgusting body, there are good and malicious movements;

The right is: knowing good and knowing evil is conscience, and going to evil for good is a thing;

Horizontal batch: the unity of knowledge and action.

There are five columns of tables in the center of the main hall, looking at the material style, they are all moved out of the palace, and each of them has a seat card folded with rice paper.

For example, one of them, the content is three lines.

First line: Yongle;

Second row: Zhu Di;

Third line: C 1.

At the front of these imperial cases is a three-foot-high mahogany platform, on which are placed two Taishi chairs on the main side, and behind it is a huge piece of rice paper.

Next to this mahogany platform, there is a hanging board, on which the rice paper is written with five lines of characters.

Hongwu: two hundred and seventy-six;

Jianwen: 336;

Yongle: 276;

Hong Xi: 276;

Xuande: Two hundred and seventy-six.

"Brother, we have decreed the abolition of the prime minister system in the Fengtian Hall today, and at the same time set up a cabinet, didn't you say yesterday that Song Lian can be described as the ruler? Let's listen to my brother, forgive him his sin, and directly make him the first assistant. ”

After Lao Zhu went down to the court, he came to the drunken immortal building for the first time.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that this drunken immortal building had a new look, especially the placement of these tables and tables, as well as the seat cards on them, and he spoke while looking at them curiously.

"Well, Song Lian doesn't have much of a problem except for his age."

There are many generals in the Hongwu Dynasty, but there are not many outstanding Wenchen, mainly because Lao Zhu is too strong politically, and those who dare to take the lead have been cut down, Song Lian can be regarded as one, and it is indeed very suitable to use him as the first assistant.

As for Li Shanchang, this person is suitable for Shen Jiang.

"And then there is the adjustment of the official salaries and clan titles that my brother said yesterday, Biao'er will work out a specific plan with Song Lian and the household department next, and my brother will have to take a look at it at that time."

Lao Zhu walked around the main hall, as if he was looking for something, and finally asked questions.

"Where are we seated?"

Ji Boying sat on the mahogany chair on the podium and pointed to a chair next to him.

"This."

As the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, this is the only one, so it is naturally a little special, and there is no need for any seat card.

Although it is a side position, Lao Zhu doesn't mind, it is also a supreme honor to be able to sit on the side of the immortals, he walked up to the podium with a smile and sat on the side of Ji Boying, if someone is changed to let Lao Zhu sit on the side, I am afraid that the knife has fallen.

"You don't need to show me the specific plan, you can decide the national policy yourself."

Ji Boying knows very well that he has a few pounds and taels, and it is okay to draw a framework from a historical perspective, so it would be a bit funny to let him do it.

There is a specialization in the art industry, and the same is true for bragging.

At that moment, footsteps hurried in.

I saw Xiao Zhu Si looking in a hurry, carrying a silk bag in his hand, out of breath, obviously running all the way.

"As a prince, what kind of decency is it to act so rashly?!"

Lao Zhu glared at Xiao Zhu Si, Xiao Zhu Si was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the bag.

"Back to my father, my son is sending a jade medal to the immortal master, so I am in a hurry, and I ask my father to punish him!"

Hearing that it was what Ji Boying needed, Lao Zhu waved his hand.

"Sit down in your place."

Location?

Xiao Zhu Si was stunned.

Ji Boying took the cloth bag from his hand, pointed at it casually, and Xiao Zhu Si looked at it.

Seat number content: Zhu Di; HONG Wu; A three.

As for why Xiao Zhu Si entered the training class, this was also decided by Ji Boying after consideration, history has a mysterious force called irresistible power.

Ji Boying can't guarantee that Zhu Biao of Hongwu Time and Space will definitely survive.

If Zhu Biao still dies, it is most appropriate for Xiao Zhu Si to take over as Prince Hongwu.

"Come, take this away, this is your cadet card."

Ji Boying opened the cloth bag, poured out eleven palm-sized delicate jade plaques, all of which were made of fine white jade, took out one of them and handed it to Xiao Zhu Si.

Name: Zhu Di;

Era name: Hongwu;

Student ID: A3.

"Cadet ID?"

Lao Zhu was stunned.

"You have it too."

Ji Boying handed over the piece that belonged to Lao Zhu.

After Lao Zhu took it, he looked at it with interest.

Name: Zhu Yuanzhang;

Era name: Hongwu;

Student ID: A1.

"It's almost time."

Ji Boying glanced at the far left side of the main hall, where a large silver clock hung there.

I saw that after receiving Ji Boying's eye signal, Lian Xiang picked up a small silver hammer and gently struck on this big bell, and the rich but crisp bell sounded in this drunken immortal building, blending into nothingness, breaking through the barriers, and stirring eight silver bells in other time and space.

"The first phase of the Ming Emperor's training class officially opened."
