Chapter 377: Five-Clawed Golden Dragon
After listening to this, Zhu Song thought about it carefully, it was indeed the case, the prince entered the court as an official, this may be the first time in the world, although it is just that the current cabinet has no real power, and it is more like the secretary of the later generations, but it is also unprecedented and unprecedented.
The most important thing is that Zhu Song can't do it even if he doesn't want to be it now, and the holy decree has come down.
The next day, Zhu Song got up early in the morning, probably for the first time in his life, he didn't sleep much better last night, he was a little nervous, and after wearing the five-clawed golden dragon group robe under the service of the princess, he left the palace and came to the noon gate in a carriage. …
When Zhu Song got out of the carriage, he found that more than half of the officials had already come, and the moment Zhu Song's carriage appeared, it attracted everyone's attention. When the officials saw a young man wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe get out of the carriage, they immediately began to discuss, and everyone guessed whether this young prince was His Royal Highness the King of Han or His Royal Highness the King of Han.
Liu Yi's eyes were the sharpest and happened to be the closest, and after seeing Zhu Song get out of the carriage, he hurried to see his benefactor.
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
Zhu Song looked at Liu Yi and smiled bitterly: "This king is here to go to the court today." ”
Liu Yi didn't think much about it after hearing this, although the commander of Jinyiwei didn't have to go to the court, but he wanted to come to the emperor's side to order the creation of a cabinet, and His Royal Highness probably came here today for this matter.
Zhu Song's image among the ministers is not good, and his reputation is not good, and most people have a look of disdain when they see Zhu Song coming.
If it weren't for Zhu Song's current power, I'm afraid that these ministers would have already known that they would also tear off their arms and scold.
At this moment, the prince's car had already arrived, and the prince got out of the carriage, and the first thing he saw was Zhu Song, who was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe with a big red background, was also stunned.
The prince reacted, this dragon robe was definitely given by the old man, but what day is it? Why did even the twenty uncles have to rush to the court?
"Uncle Twenty, why are you here?"
Zhu Song smiled bitterly: "Didn't your father announce the establishment of a cabinet today?" That's what I'm here for today. ”
Zhu Di asked Zhu Song to enter the cabinet as the first assistant, and it was the prince who was prevented, Zhu Song naturally did not want to directly pick out the emperor's intentions at this time, and when the time came, the two of them would make a fuss, after all, they were father and son, and there might be nothing wrong, maybe this pot would have to be thrown on himself at that time.
At this moment, the King of Han and the King of Zhao also rode to the distance, and the two of them saw Zhu Song, who was dressed in a big red satin base, embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern on his chest and behind him, and the two looked at each other, and then dismounted and came to Zhu Song.
"Uncle Twenty, I didn't expect you to come here today, this dragon robe is really spiritual!"
Zhu Song laughed when he heard this: "It's okay, it's okay, your father, I was finally rewarded with a set of golden dragon robes, don't say it, this dragon robe is really different, usually our grandfathers wear a python robe and no one looks at it!" ”
In addition to the prince wearing a dragon robe, the rest of the Han Wang and the two people were wearing python robes, if you don't envy Zhu Song's set, even if it is a lie.
The two of them looked at Zhu Song's body shining in the sun like a five-clawed golden dragon that came to life, not to mention how envious they were.
King Han and King Zhao knew that sooner or later, the old man would have to take the royal expedition in person, and when the time came, they would have to put on their brothers and their brothers to fight bravely on the battlefield, isn't it a matter of time before the dragon robe?
At this time, the door was opened at noon, and the ministers of civil and military affairs got out of the way, first let the prince and the three princes go first, and the four of them walked on the road, talking and laughing, with Zhu Song present, and the second and third did not dare to go too far with the boss.
Everyone stood still, after a while, the emperor walked out of it and sat on the dragon chair, the sun is shining today, it is spring, the temperature is gradually rising, and the ministers are also warm and comfortable by the sun.
Zhu Song and the crown prince stood on the left side of Zhu Di, the king of Han and the king of Zhao stood on the right side of Zhu Di, and during the Yuan Dynasty, the right was respected, and in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang changed back to the left.
It can be seen that the status of the four royal children is somewhat different, the crown prince as the prince is naturally more respectful, and Zhu Song, as the uncle of the prince, the king of Han and the king of Zhao, is naturally higher than the king of Han and the king of Zhao.
After the ministers of civil and military affairs knelt down and began to discuss the government as usual, and to clarify state affairs, Zhu Song stood there yawning for a long time, sleepy, what is this for? It's a good day, but why should I get involved in this troubled water, and then I mixed myself in.
Recently, there has been no major event in the court, so it will be almost discussed in the early court, and then Zhu Di said slowly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since Emperor Taizu Gao abolished the position of prime minister, the realm of trivial matters in the court has been classified as the emperor, and it is directly managed and approved."
"Although the prime minister has been eliminated from the power, but the emperor is also lacking in skills, if one day other people come to attack, the emperor has the talent to drive the royal conquest, but because of the trivial matters of the country and involved, is it not a big thing."
"I can't change the ambition of Emperor Taizu Gao, so the Yongle Dynasty will still not set up the post of prime minister, but will establish a cabinet."
"The main role of the cabinet is to advise and advise the emperor, so that even if the emperor is not in Beijing, state affairs can be run as usual, and there are several people in the cabinet who participate in politics, which can also prevent the emergence of autocratic power."
To Zhu Song's surprise, he thought that these civil and military ministers would be the first to jump out to oppose after hearing this, but he didn't expect that they would be silent and had to admire Zhu Di.
And these ministers are actually a little eager to try in their hearts, very simply, because who is a civil official doesn't want to be the prime minister, but who would have thought that our Daming would directly scrap the position of prime minister, and it also broke the good wishes of these ministers who want to be above ten thousand people under one person.
And now what kind of cabinet is going to be made, saying that there are so many people, in fact, there must be a leading person in the cabinet, and other people in the cabinet must be based on this person, so isn't this person just a nameless but real prime minister?
Even though there is no decision-making power of the prime minister, the name that civil officials look at is sometimes more eager than power, and power cannot exist in the hands of one person forever, but reputation can follow a person until death.
How is Fang Xiaoru? Even if he is punished by the ten clans, who is a literati who mentions Fang Xiaoru and can't give a thumbs up?
Therefore, those civil servants who have achieved the rank of squire or above are all gearing up and eager to try.
But when Ma Bao read out the cabinet list, they were all at once, and the cabinet now has Yang Rong, Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi, Liu Yi recommended by His Royal Highness King Han, and Hu Guang recommended by His Royal Highness King Han, this is already five people, and there is also Xia Yuanji in the cabinet, and he is reconciled.
