Although Zhu Linmiao had decided to abandon Huang Daozhou, he did not give any comments on his resignation, and only asked Yang Tinglin to be summoned to meet him. After all, Huang Daozhou is also an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and he has always been loyal to the court, and he is also very honest as an official, so he still has to save face, at least resign three times according to the rules and then be allowed.

Less than half an hour later, Yang Tinglin hurriedly entered the front hall of the Heart Cultivation Hall with Ma Wensheng. He knew that at the beginning of the new dynasty, there must be something important to summon himself into the palace, and it was extremely fast.

"Minister, long live my emperor."

Zhu Linmiao was still a little uncomfortable with the title of "Long live", and reacted for a while, before hurriedly raising his hand and saying, "Ah, Yang Gebu, please get up." ”

Then he took out Huang Daozhou's dictionaries and gestured, "Look at this." ”

Yang Tinglin took the song from Ma Wensheng's hand, opened it and took a quick look. Although he had expected this, he never expected it to be so fast, and immediately knelt down and exclaimed, "This must not be! Huang Ge Lao is an important minister of the three dynasties, he has always presided over the cabinet, and he has quite a lot of political achievements, and I am afraid that the court will leave him......"

Zhu Linmiao shook her head and interrupted him, "I've decided to play on the spot." ”

Yang Tinglin was stunned, and said in his heart that our new monarch is really decisive, and the first assistant of the cabinet will be dismissed from office as soon as he resigns? ! Then I remembered that I persuaded him the day before yesterday, and it was also "one pass", and I was relieved.

Zhu Linmiao just wants to set an example in order to change the procrastination and formalism of the Ming Dynasty. He didn't wait for Yang Tinglin's advice, and continued: "Lord Huang is also old, and I am ready to crown him as Uncle Zhongyi, so that he can retire in old age and retire in his old age." However, it will be a while before the decree is given.

"In the future, the affairs of the cabinet will be presided over by the Yang Cabinet Ministry, and I hope that the Yang Cabinet will fulfill its duties to report to the country."

Yang Tinglin was stunned, and then he was overjoyed, the first assistant of the cabinet! This is the ultimate that a minister can do! Since the time of the Jiangxi resistance, he recognized that His Royal Highness King Chen was the dragon and phoenix among the people, so he firmly supported him in several political choices, and today he will finally be rewarded!

But he bowed to the ground again, "How can the minister be virtuous, how dare he take on this heavy responsibility......"

"Yang Gebu doesn't have to be humble, this position of first assistant belongs to you. Get up and speak. Zhu Linmiao motioned for him to get up and continued, "In addition, Zhu Jizuo and several other courtiers who have been promoted to honorary positions will no longer serve as scholars. But even with the exception of a few of them, the cabinet is still overstaffed. ”

Because the emperor had no money and no soldiers during the Longwu Dynasty, and only the power of the feudal officials was left in his hands, Zhu Yujian promoted and knighted people uncontrollably in order to win over the courtiers, resulting in as many as 23 cabinet scholars in the Longwu Dynasty alone!

Even now, there are still as many as 16 people in the cabinet of the DPRK and China, and even Wang Yingxiong, the governor of Sichuan, has the name of a scholar of Wuyingdian University. However, there are only seven or eight people who actually participate in the management of the government.

"What does the Holy One mean?"

"I'm going to implement a cabinet hierarchy." Zhu Linmiao began his "first knife" to reduce the redundancy of officials, "set up seven scholars of the Wenhua Palace, participate in the voting draft, and the rest only retain the qualifications to discuss politics." ”

"The emperor is wise!"

The most important task of the Cabinet is to review the constitution and make recommendations, which is equivalent to reducing the number of Cabinet members to six. The smaller the number of cabinet members, the less decentralization can be achieved, and Yang Tinglin naturally supports this.

"As for this Wenhuadian University Scholar candidate," Zhu Linmiao said, "it will be held by the Seven Books for the time being." As for the absence of a supervisor in the Ministry of War, and after Huang Ge Lao stepped down, there was a lack of secretary of the Ministry of Officials...... These two seats will be vacant for the time being, and they will be filled when there are suitable candidates in the future. ”

Yang Tinglin had just been promoted to the first assistant, and the power of the cabinet had been enhanced, so he was so happy that he couldn't find the north, and he didn't think about Zhu Linmiao's arrangements at all, so he immediately bowed down and responded: "The saint is far-sighted, and the minister will obey his will, and then he will start to reorganize the cabinet." ”

He quickly moved into the role of Shousuke.

In fact, he didn't notice that Song Yingxing and Xu Erlu had been appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Linmiao's words just now were equivalent to sending the two of them to the cabinet. And the vacant position of the two scholars of the Wenhua Palace, Zhu Linmiao is also intended to be reserved for officials from Gezhixue. At that time, there will be only three old-style officials left among the seven people in charge of the cabinet, and Gezhixue will definitely carry forward!

After finishing talking about the cabinet reform, Zhu Linmiao instructed Yang Tinglin again: "By the way, there is another matter, and the Yang Cabinet Department must handle it immediately." ”

"Command, please."

Zhu Linmiao said: "Order the Ministry of Rites to prepare pardons, seals and other things, and the cabinet should draft such a decree ......"

After he finished his instructions, Yang Tinglin couldn't help but be shocked, "Holy Lord, this He Tengjiao is rebellious and daring, you must not be gullible......"

Zhu Linmiao smiled and shook his head, "The Yang Pavilion Department just needs to do it." Ah, before tonight, you must prepare them all and hand them over to the heart hall for sealing. ”

Yang Tinglin had no choice but to say: "The minister obeys the order." Then he asked curiously, "I wonder who the Holy One wants to do?" ”

"The stakes are high, and I have to go there myself."

……

Outside Wuchang City, Zhou Daqi urged the horse to gallop to He Tengjiao's team, and arched his hand: "Your ...... on the national pillar"

He saw He Tengjiao glaring at him with a dark face, and hurriedly changed his words, "No, Lord Yudutang, the Sichuan army and the Jiangxi army have indeed retreated. On the way to the river, his subordinates sent people to probe repeatedly, and there were no soldiers and horses in ambush within twenty miles. ”

He Tengjiao nodded, waved his hand again, and said, "Don't be careless, continue to investigate." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

When Zhou Daqi left, He Wenrui came up on the side and said in a rough voice: "Dad, I want the child to say, why should we worry about seeing something."

"The matter has come to this, so I simply welcomed the Son of Heaven into Wuchang, and took advantage of the fact that the people's hearts were available at the moment, and met with that Zhu Linmi's real sword and gun......"

"Hugh wants to talk about it!" He Tengjiao immediately reprimanded, "My father has never been disobedient, but who expected to be calculated by the villains - most of them are Meng Zhengfa and those guys - on the one hand, they spread rumors that I want to rebel, and on the other hand, they privately transferred soldiers and horses from all over Huguang, gathered in Wuchang, Changsha and other places, and trapped me in a state of no return!" ”

He Wenrui still stiffened his neck and said: "I have an army of 100,000 in Chudi, and the soldiers are all gearing up, can't they still deal with Zhu Linmiao's 50,000 or 60,000 people?!" ”

"Hmph, why do you say that those who lead the troops are so interested in provoking me to rebel?" He Tengjiao glanced at his son fiercely, "They all raise thousands of private soldiers, and they can't afford to fight, where do they have the opportunity to loot places?" They didn't dare to touch Jianyu, because someone was the master, and with the reason of supporting Zhu Linyuan, they immediately responded in groups.

"You say they're morale-boosting? Tell you, as soon as the war is unfavorable, these people will immediately go to Zhu Linmiao, and they will end up anyway, but in the end, only my He family is a rebel! ”

He sighed, "Besides, I want to support the Son of Heaven and compete with Nanjing, but I have to have Zhu Linyuan and Empress Dowager Zeng both in Wuchang." The little emperor is just a name, and the Empress Dowager Zeng is the truth, and now she welcomes Zhu Linyuan without the Empress Dowager, but the name does not match the truth.

"It's just that I didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Zeng would have such courage and make the little emperor abdicate without blinking. Now we have a false name in our hands......"
