Chapter 158: On the Bridge, in the Forest

On the second day after Xu Ruyi proposed the cabinet system, Zhu Yunwen officially issued an order to change the official system.

The promotion of the sixth book is a positive product, and the promotion of the left servant of the ministry Du Ze is the secretary of the department.

Change the capital procuratorate to the imperial history house, and the imperial history of the capital to the imperial history doctor. The 12 roads are the left and right courtyards, the left is the relics, and the right is the filling.

Changed the political envoy to the temple.

Zhan Shifu added Zide Academy. The Hanlin Academy was reinstated, and the bachelor's degree was changed to a doctor of literature.

Set up two museums of Wenhan and literature and history, Wenhan is to read and lecture, and literature and history is to be revised, edited and reviewed.

After a set of lost boxing, at the end of the will, it was proposed to add Wenyuan Pavilion, set up two scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, six official residences, assist the emperor to counsel the military and military affairs, and appointed Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin as the first university scholars.

The will was very urgent, and Zhu Yunwen did not have any discussion with Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai. The decree is also very clever, raising the official rank of the six Shangshu to the first rank, so that the six Shangshu will not make any objections. Naturally, there will not be a few objections from the six parts. The will passed smoothly.

Although the will was successfully passed, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai were very dissatisfied.

To reform the bureaucratic system, it is too shameful to not discuss such a major matter with us, and we must ask for an explanation.

After the early dynasty, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai came to the Wenhua Hall with a gloomy face to ask to see Zhu Yunwen.

"Chen Qitai (Huang Zicheng), knock to see Your Majesty. ”

"The two of them quickly got together. Zhu Yunwen held his hands weakly, and then turned his head and ordered: "Liu Xi, quickly give the two Qing family seats"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai got up and sat on the two round stools that Liu Xi had moved.

Zhu Yunwen looked at Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai with a little weakness, and said with a smile: "When the two Qing families see me, I don't know what important things to discuss with me?"

"Your Majesty. Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai glanced at each other, stood up first, and said, "The minister wants to ask Your Majesty, who is the one who made you talk to you and make you change the official system?"

"Uh... Zhu Yunwen's face froze, and then he was a little unhappy: "What, is there anything wrong with this will?"

Huang Zicheng said again: "Your Majesty, the rest is nothing. It's just that there is something wrong with this newly established position of Wenyuan Pavilion Scholar who assists His Majesty in Counselor Military Affairs.

Military aircraft and government affairs have always been the key to a country, and people who are idle are not allowed to hear about it, let alone ... ”

Huang Zicheng's voice did not fall, only to hear the sound of footsteps outside the hall: "What does Lord Huang mean, is it to suspect that Master Fang and Bachelor Fang have learned?"

Huang Zicheng followed the voice and looked back, only to see Xu Ruyi leading Fang Xiaoru, Xie Jin, and the six Shangshu to come together.

"Chen Xu Ruyi (Fang Xiaoru, Xie Jin, Ru Yu...) See Your Majesty. And they bowed their heads.

"Zhongqing is flat. Zhu Yunwen smiled faintly: "Give a seat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. And they stood up and took their seats.

As the old saying goes, "Whoever doesn't talk behind his back, who doesn't say anything behind his back." "But if someone is caught when talking about people, it will inevitably be embarrassing, not to mention a notoriously decent person like Huang Zicheng.

For a while, Huang Zicheng's face was swollen and red, and he didn't know what to say.

Xu Ruyi snorted coldly and said, "Mr. Zhengxue is the minister of the humerus left by the first emperor, and the bachelor is known all over the world. Lord Huang, it's a good thing to be steady, but you still have to uphold the public heart, otherwise, it will inevitably make people think that you are too domineering. ”

"You!" Huang Zicheng was angry, brushed his sleeves and said angrily: "The first emperor strictly decreed, internal officials are not allowed to interfere in politics, all the people here are members of the court, and the discussion is also a major military aircraft, what are you doing here, don't go out quickly!"

The more you quarrel with this kind of angry person, the more he will fight. On the contrary, if you deal with it indifferently, it will have the effect of four or two thousand pounds.

I saw Xu Ruyi smile slightly: "The emperor convened all the adults to discuss political affairs, and naturally there is no place for our eunuch to put his beak." But how can we say that we are also the factory of the East Factory, and here we can tell you something that everyone does not know now, this is not an offense to the will of the first emperor, right?"

Xu Ruyi said this, bowed to Zhu Yunwen and said, "Your Majesty, Dongchang got three pieces of news today. First, King Yan claimed that he had a serious headache and was sick, and it was difficult for him to go to Beijing to mourn the emperor. Now the investigation of Dongchang has learned that he is pretending to be sick, his body is healthy, and there is no abnormality; second, Beiping is now a strong horse, and the army has expanded to more than 200,000, far beyond the normal defense needs, and has not been reported to the imperial court; three, in the past, King Yan sent his three sons to Beijing to mourn the emperor, and now they are 50 miles outside the city, and it is believed that they will be able to arrive in Beijing tomorrow. ”

What is the top priority of the Jianwen Dynasty, what is the first priority?

The ministers of the court and the central government present know it well: cut the feudal domain!

Zhu Yunwen asked Xu Ruyi to bring six Shangshu here, just to discuss the matter of cutting the domain, and also to let Fang Xiaoru and Xie Jin show their talents and strategies, and correct their names in front of the ministers.

In the current situation, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai are no longer able to dwell on the previous change of official system, after all, the conversation has been led to the major matter of cutting the domain.

And when it comes to cutting the domain, this tickles Huang Zicheng's itch.

"Your Majesty. Huang Zicheng took a step forward, calmly and conceitedly took out a fold from his arms, and said loudly: "The ambition of King Yan and the wolf, the minister has already heard about it, and he has already prepared some countermeasures in his heart. Today's opportunity is just right, so I will play with Your Majesty, and invite a few adults to listen to it together. If there are any deficiencies, please advise. As he spoke, Huang Zicheng unfolded the fold in his hand and read it in a frustrated voice.

is still Huang Zicheng's consistent style, starting with the three emperors and five emperors, emphasizing the orthodoxy of imperial power and sacrosanctity, and then talking about the status quo of the vassal king's tail. It wasn't until everyone was a little impatient that they talked about his strategy of cutting the domain.

said more than ten in a row, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence, first cut the small domain, then cut the strong domain, and Yan Ning last.

"I discussed it with Lord Qi before, and I think that the imperial court should make a mistake now to build up military equipment and heavy military affairs. You can take advantage of the time when the imperial court opens Enke next year. Select good generals for the imperial court. ”

Speaking of this, Qi Tai got up and took out a pamphlet from his bosom, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of martial arts has been around for a long time, but there is no detailed system in our dynasty. The minister slept all night, wrote down some of his humble insights, and asked His Majesty to read it. ”

The two sang and harmonized, as if they were playing a double reed.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say. As soon as Qi Tai's voice fell, Ru Yu, the secretary of the military department, also got up and said: "Regarding the matter of opening a martial arts, although Lord Qi and Lord Huang did not discuss with the ministers in advance, they coincided with the ministers. The minister also intends to ask His Majesty to open a martial arts. Reaching out and taking out a thick fold from his sleeve, he raised his hands in front of him: "These are some ideas that the minister thought of, please also take a look at Your Majesty." ”

"This... Zhu Yunwen and Qi Tai both frowned.

Qi Tai frowned because he didn't believe that there was such a coincidence in the world, and he thought hard for several months before he came up with a good strategy for opening a martial arts, and he was ready to use this to become the secretary of the military department.

Qi Tai couldn't help but glance at Huang Zicheng suspiciously, and saw that he was also at a loss.

Zhu Yunwen looked left and right at Ru Yu and Qi Tai, but he was thinking about another question.

Qi Tai is the left squire of the military department, and according to his position, he is a subordinate of Ru Yu. The matter of opening martial arts is not a trivial matter. Listening to what Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai, and Ru Yu said, Qi Tai discussed with Huang Zicheng, but did not mention it to Ru Yu?

Zhu Yunwen is now the emperor, and from the emperor's point of view, this small detail commits two taboos in his heart: overstepping his authority and not respecting his superiors, and forming a party.

Qi Tai did not discuss with Ru Yu when he encountered an incident, which was called arrogance, and in the words of later generations, it was "reporting to the higher level, and there was no leader." "Both ancient and modern, it is a taboo in the workplace and politics.

Moreover, Qi Tai is an official of the Ministry of War, and Huang Zicheng is a civil official of the Hanlin Academy, and the two are nominally colleagues, but in fact they are two systems that are not related. Why should they discuss something with each other?

Thinking like this, Zhu Yunwen's face gradually became a little gloomy.

。。。。。。

"I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the spring breeze in February is like scissors. Good poetry, good poetry. ”

"You know how to do some sour poetry all day long, what else can you do?"

"Then what will you do besides fighting and killing?" In the wide carriage, Zhu Gaosui sneered at his second brother Zhu Gaoxi: "Second brother, this poem has a total of fourteen words, is there anyone you don't know?" Third brother, I'll teach you?"

"I'll you... Zhu Gaoxi was furious and was about to make a move, but Zhu Gaochi on the side shouted in a low voice: "Enough! Seeing that you are about to arrive in the capital, what did your father and Master Daoyan say, have you forgotten it?!"

"I didn't forget, I didn't forget. Zhu Gaosui replied with a smile: "Third brother, I have read a few books anyway, my brain is enough, how can I forget?"

"You dare to say that I don't have enough brains?!" Zhu Gaoxu wanted to do it again.

Zhu Gaochi's face sank: "Entering Beijing is like entering the tiger's den in Longtan, surrounded by strong enemies outside, if the two of you still make trouble, are you really tired of being crooked?"

"Hmph. Zhu Gaosui tilted his head and closed his eyes without saying a word.

Zhu Gaoxu leaned back angrily, took a sip of the small half jar of wine, and muttered: "Isn't it just to come out a little early, what kind of big brother shelf." ”

Zhu Gaochi's eyes froze, and he glanced at Zhu Gaoxi deeply.

Between the three brothers, Zhu Gaoxi and Zhu Gaosui were originally at odds, but the relationship between Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxi was actually not bad. It's just that since Zhu Di sent the three of them to Beijing to offer condolences, the situation has been a little different.

Although Zhu Gaoxi is five big and three thick, he still has a few shrewd people under him. Originally, I thought that my father might be opposed, but I was just not sure. This time, his father refused to enter Beijing under the pretext of illness, which showed more and more that there was a ghost in his heart, and it also made him completely understand that his father really intended to be ninety-five, and he... It may not be impossible to compete for the golden seat, especially when there is only one big brother who is as fat as a pig and has poor legs and feet.

Thinking together, the ambition can no longer be calmed, and the former brothers, friends and brothers have become the current Three Kingdoms hegemony. Interestingly, the great prince who was supposed to be strong corresponded to the weakest of the three kingdoms, Shu. There is no other reason, Zhu Di looks at him the most unpleasantly.

Also, among the three sons, one is martial and the other is literate, only Zhu Gaochi's appearance is annoying, but legally he is still the inheritor of everything, and some things are inevitable.

"Shizi. ”

A somewhat shrill voice came to mind outside the carriage.

Hearing that it was his personal eunuch Ma Sanbao, Zhu Gaochi lifted the curtains: "What's the matter?"

"Shizi. Ma Sanbao rode on his side and said softly: "It's not too early to get dark, and it seems that there is still some distance from the next town." There is a small forest ahead, otherwise we will rest in the forest for the night. ”

Zhu Gaochi moved his body with great difficulty, and looked ahead, and there was a dense poplar forest in the distance: "Okay, you can arrange it, remember to let a few people go in to investigate, don't have any strong people." ”

"The slave understands. ”

Ma Sanbao agreed, then whipped the horse and headed towards the dense forest.

Zhu Di sent a total of thirty-five guards to his son, including Ma Sanbao, a total of thirty-six people. Although the number of people is not large, all of them are good players in the army and on the rivers and lakes. So Ma Sanbao went alone, but he was not afraid of any problems here.

The grove looks not far away, but the dead horse running on the Wangshan Mountain is actually not too close, and it also looks like it is more than ten miles. The carriage was moving slowly, and the team was still far away when Ma Sanbao came to the forest.

Ma Sanbao shouted: "A handful of water from the south to the north, the yellow people want to rest here." There can be a tiger roaring forest here, and there are rabbits with white flowers to offer, please also make a convenient. ”

Ma Sanbao said the black words of the green forest, which probably means that the people and horses on his side want to rest in the forest, and if there is a strong man in the forest, he is willing to give some silver, hoping that there will be no conflict.

A handful of water refers to less than 100 people, the yellow family refers to the emperor's relatives, and the origin is not small, and the white rabbit refers to silver.

Although his side is strong, as the saying goes, when the forest is not entered, the moon is dark and the wind is high at night, even if he does not suffer a loss if he has a calculation or unintentionality, he is afraid of trouble, so Ma Sanbao first said something soft and hard, which is considered to explore the water. Not to mention, I have spent nearly a thousand taels of silver on this alone along the way, and I have really escaped a lot of thieves.

Ma Sanbao shouted twice, and was about to shout the third time, when he heard a gloomy voice from the forest: "Ma Sanbao?

"Who?" Ma Sanbao was shocked, the existence of Tianmen was extremely mysterious, but his master only revealed his identity when he was dying, and left an explanation, how could anyone in this forest say a word to reveal his identity?

Ma Sanbao was silent on his face, and shouted loudly: "Which friend is in the forest, please show up." It is indeed Ma Sanbao in the next, but he doesn't know Ma Qinggong. ”

Ma Sanbao was talking here, but his ears were up, and he moved, listening attentively to the movements in the forest. He was sure that if the man in the forest spoke again, he would find his place!
