"This is my official book! This is my Ming Heavenly Official! ”

Zhu Di stroked the shabby sheepskin mattress and muttered to himself. He didn't look at the wrong person, Ru Yu is diligent, honest, and a rare capable official...... He worked hard to manage government affairs, and his words could decide the life and death of officials, and sitting in this position, he was the most able to form a party for personal gain, and he was also the most able to bend the law for bribes.

But Ru Yu didn't have it, he was doing things for the Son of Heaven and the people with a lot of blood. Even a few hours before his death, he was still worried about the reform of the military system and the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di gently grabbed Ru Yu's cold hand, the hard dead skin was covered with jagged bones, and he couldn't find any meat. His whole body is also thin, only supported by a skeleton.

Since he arrived under his hands, perhaps only this moment, he can rest peacefully and sleep well.

Zhu Di looked at Ru Yu's corpse blankly, tears unconsciously left from the corners of his eyes, sobbing silently, this was the second time he had cried in a short period of time.

His most confidant military general Zhang Yu is gone, and his most trusted official Shangshu Ru Yu is also gone, this article and martial arts, as if Zhu Di's heart and liver, were taken away.

Zhu Di didn't feel the pain, it was just empty, the most unbearable blank, it was like driving people crazy.

As an emperor, it is a duty to select talents and appoint talents, which is also something that Zhu Di is very proud of.

He used a large number of famous ministers and talents, whether it was a civil official or a military general, the Yongle Dynasty was full of talents and bright stars. This is a great time to rival any heyday.

But with the death of Zhang Yu and Ru Yu, Zhu Di had to face one thing he was most unwilling to face, that is, metabolism!

The old talent is gone, can the new officials do just as well?

For example, Wu Zhong, the left waiter of the Ministry of Officials, this guy relied on his identity as a speech official to talk nonsense, let himself be scolded once, and was also assigned overseas.

Although he is not bad after coming back, can he rest assured that he is in charge of the Ministry of Officials and is responsible for the selection?

Character, talent, and prestige, he can't be compared with Ru Jin.

If he pushes Wu Zhong up, how can he do it well? But if you don't use Wuzhong, who else can you use? Yao Guangxiao? He is older than Ru Yu, and he was born as a monk, so he is an outlier among the officials, and he can't serve the public.

Who else can be trusted?

"Ru Qing, how about you let me go?"

Zhu Di grieved for a long time, wiped away the tears in his eyes, and after another half an hour, he slowly came out of the ward. Outside, in addition to Ru Yu's family, many civil and military generals have already heard the news and rushed over.

The big guy had a solemn face, lowered his head, and no one dared to speak.

The cabinet scholars, the crown prince, King Zhao, the six Shangshu, even Lan Yu and Zhu Neng and others came, and the old thief Bald Daoyan also came.

His face was sad, and his mouth was full of words.

Ru Yu is dead, maybe it will be his turn next.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and they will "wave" to the end sooner or later.

"Where is Taifu?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.

Everyone looked around, but did not find Liu Chun, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Father, the master went to the mansion of Marquis Wucheng. ”

"Wang Cong? What does he have to do with this? Zhu Di's voice was dull, and it was difficult to hide his anger.

Ru Yong kowtowed, "Your Majesty, Marquis Wu Cheng came to see his father yesterday evening and said a lot of things, and Taifu went to inquire, most of them to understand some information. Ru Yong didn't dare to say that he was avenging Ru Yu, but Zhu Di couldn't understand it!

"What a big bold! Take him down to me now! Zhu Di said angrily.

At this time, Liu Chun had already rushed back.

"Your Majesty, the minister has already asked clearly, Wang Cong, Marquis of Wucheng, did come to Ru Shangshu to discuss the reform of the military system, and he has been talking about it for nearly an hour, and there are still arguments during the period!"

As soon as Liu Chun's words fell, the big guys couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

Ru Yu is so seriously ill, talking, arguing, and heartbreaking, no wonder he will die, Wang Cong is to blame!

Sure enough, Zhu Di's beard was full of anger!

"Wang Cong! Brute! ”

These four words directly decided the fate of Wucheng Marquis Wang Cong.

Danshu iron coupons can never save lives, and when he was in the Hongwu Dynasty, Liu Chun saw a lot, so it was not surprising at all...... But Zhu Di's next move surprised Liu Chun.

"Taifu Liuchun has made great contributions to the community, and is my confidant, mentor and friend. From now on, Liu Chun will also serve as the secretary of the ministry, overseeing the law change, and the official and military systems will be in charge of Liu Chun. ”

What the?

As soon as these words came out, it was no less than a thunderbolt that shook everyone into a daze, it was too unexpected!

The last time Liu Chun was promoted to the position of Taifu, he was also responsible for the reform of the official system, and this time even the military system was given to him, plus he also served as the secretary of the ministry, and he had the power of personnel.

If it can be said before that Liu Chun is only responsible for the adjustment of the official system, not for specific government affairs, and is not considered the prime minister...... But at this point, I can't deceive myself and others.

Liu Chun is the real prime minister, and he is also a super prime minister with amazing authority!

Zhu Di glanced at Liu Chun, and suddenly smiled: "Aren't you still accepting the order?" ”

Liu Chun was indeed very confused, he knew that after Ru Yu's death, the huge vacuum left behind was very troublesome, and the ideal result was to choose an official with excellent character to take over, and he could influence the ministry, but who knew that Zhu Di actually gave him the official book directly.

This, this is against the ancestral system!

Zhu Laosi, what are you thinking?

You threw so much power at me, aren't you afraid of chaos in the world?

While Liu Chun hesitated, Zhu Di asked again, "Liu Chun, don't accept the order yet!" ”

Liu Chun seemed to wake up from the shock, and finally bent his knees and bowed.

"Minister...... Pick it up! ”

Zhu Di finally showed a smile on his face, "Well, you come here, I have a few words to say." ”

"Yes!"

The two of them arrived at the next room, leaving behind a large group of dumbfounded.

Liu Chun didn't have time to pay attention to the broken eyeballs behind him, and followed Zhu Di to the next room, where Zhu Di suddenly smiled.

"Liu Chun, guess what the people outside are thinking now?"

Liu Chun spread his hands, "The minister is probably looking forward to Ru Shangshu's resurrection!" ”

Zhu Di snorted and said with a straight face: "Be serious, from now on, you will be the prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, and you must show the prestige of the prime minister." ”

Liu Chun's face was full of embarrassment, and he wanted to speak, but Zhu Di waved his hand.

"I know, you still want to say that the ancestral precepts cannot be changed...... Okay, Zu Xun asked the two of us to change it almost, even if my father wants to find someone to settle accounts, then he will look for me first, and he will not look for you. ”

Liu Chun rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, he didn't understand Lao Zhu's temper yet, no matter how big his son's mistake was, it was also his son. I, an outsider, will definitely carry the black pot.

"Yoo Chun." Zhu Di's voice was low, and he said seriously: "I just figured out one thing, a very simple thing...... I can't deceive myself, national affairs are not decided by one person, a few people. The father abolished the prime minister, but there must always be someone to connect the upper and lower authorities, and the authority either falls to the cabinet or to the six ministries. I can't fool myself, I can't decide everything. I have to trust someone I can trust. ”

Zhu Di said with a smile: "Zhang Yu and Ru Yu are gone, I have no choice, the most suitable person is you!" ”

"Don't shirk, it's not for me, it's for the people of the world, pick up this burden."

Zhu Di stood up and patted Liu Chun on the shoulder, "You just went to take down Wang Cong, and you did a good job...... Let it go, in my eyes, Zhang Yu and Ru Yu are my right-hand men, the ministers of the humerus. And you, Liu Chun, are my friends! Bosom friend! ”

"You know what I want, I know what you want, I also know, since this is the case, let us kings and ministers work together to create a prosperous era of Yongle!"

Zhu Di was enthusiastic, while Liu Chun was trembling, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse...... This is King Wen of Zhou meeting Jiang Taigong, Liu Xuande invited Zhuge Kongming, and staged a good story of getting along with the monarch and the minister, or like many powerful ministers, it ended bleakly, or Wang Mang and Zhao Kuangyin......

It's a bit unsure!

However, according to the tradition of their old Zhu family, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian ...... It doesn't seem to be a good end!

Zhu Di saw Liu Chun hesitating, he couldn't help but snort angrily, "What's the matter with you kid?" Are you underestimating my mind, or do you not believe in your own abilities? If you don't want to do it, I'll leave this position to Yang Shiqi! A manly husband must show the courage to stand up to the sky. How can I believe you? ”

Zhu Di's words have a sense of "you have to stand up".

Liu Chun could only smile helplessly, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, the minister will reluctantly accept it...... However, there is one condition. ”

"On what terms?"

"Without the consent of the ministers, Your Majesty cannot make a central decree, interfere with the operation of the government, dismiss the courtiers at will, and use troops to the outside world at will......" Liu Chun said in one breath more than a dozen prohibitions...... Zhu Di's face was dark, he gritted his teeth, and was angry.

"Okay, you Liu Chun, you want to set me up, right? If that's what you say, then I'll just give up the dragon chair for you! ”

Liu Chun blinked, and also said not to be outdone: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty doesn't agree to anything, what's the taste of being the prime minister?" ”

"You!"

Zhu Di was so angry that he turned around in circles, this rabbit cub, he really doesn't have good intentions, what is the difference between you and those civil officials who advocate sharing the world with the emperor, they are all all the way!

Liu Chun is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, anyway, Lao Tzu doesn't have to do it, right?

"You...... Promised! Zhu Di suddenly put away the anger on his face, and became warm, which was more powerful than changing his face!

"If I agree to these conditions, you will agree to be prime minister...... Do a good job! I will fully support you, the stage is for you, sing a good show for me, don't let everyone down! ”

Zhu Di smiled very happily, Liu Chun suddenly shouted that he was fooled, Zhu Laosi was deliberately tricked...... It's a pity that Liu Chun found out that it was too late, Zhu Di directly asked people to draft the holy decree, add Liu Chun to the title of Taishi, concurrently serve as the secretary of the ministry, and the general leader of the hundred officials, and the world will be clear, and it will never be changed!
