The Xu family is confident about the next Dali Temple trial, Xu Ye has no fault of a dime except for beating people, and he is entrusted by people to be loyal, but shows a gentleman's demeanor.

Xu Ye himself was very ashamed, alarmed the court, embarrassed, and automatically asked for leave to think about it behind closed doors.

This made him realize the complexity of officialdom, as long as people think that they stand up for reason, and they don't buy it if they say they don't buy it, what can the prince of the country do? Since he was a child, Xu Yu finally realized his father's difficulty, why he was low-key and hidden at home.

Not to mention his father and other lords, now no one can even look down on those vassal kings, Xu Yu realized that he could no longer take his pride for granted, in the final analysis, he had to rely on himself to win face outside the halo of the national family.

Emperor Xuande did not allow the vassal king to enter Beijing to congratulate, to put it bluntly, it was to send a clear signal, because the vassal king entered Beijing, any official along the way had to be greeted, even if it was the third duke, it often made the subjects of the world realize that the vassal kings were the same as the Hongwu Dynasty, they could manage the army and the people, and even be the emperor without a way, and they could learn from King Yan to play a game of hegemony on the side of the Qing monarch.

The vassal kings were not allowed to enter the capital, and they were naturally not allowed to leave the fiefdom, which greatly weakened the influence, and a series of overt and covert means such as restricting military power and reducing the guards, the royal palaces, as in history, gradually became pigs in captivity.

Zhu Zhanji's approach is in the same vein as his father, and the same is true for martial arts heroes, Zhang Fu was hung high, and Xu Hao automatically pushed back, which made his influence in the military much worse in one fell swoop.

Zhu Gaochi once gave Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi, Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji and other ministers a silver medal engraved with the words "rope sorrow and correction", with which you can write secret folds, this method Wu Zetian used, and the Manchu emperor also learned.

Historically, Yang Pu, one of the three Yang ministers, was imprisoned by Zhu Di for ten years because of Zhu Gaochi's involvement. As for Yang Shiqi and others, who were also imprisoned, Zhu Gaochi had a special feeling, and the relationship between monarchs and ministers was something that others could not have.

Xu Hao single-handedly changed history, and he replaced him, and his relationship with Emperor Hongxi was far closer than anyone else's. At the same time, the cabinet ministers treated the legitimate prince Zhu Zhanji with exactly the same allegiance as in history, which is why Zhu Zhanji trusted the cabinet ministers as much as in history after he ascended the throne.

Zhu Zhanji's enhancement of the official position and powers of the cabinet was motivated by the need to strengthen imperial power, that is, to centralize power. The cabinet of Tongguò further centralized power in the emperor, freeing itself from the great influence of the meritorious generals.

Xie Jin's righteous words in the court naturally made Zhu Zhanji feel very uncomfortable, and he soon issued an order to reward Xie Jin for being one of the three orphans, and then transferred Yang Pu, Chen Shan and Zhang Ying to the cabinet, all of whom were his teachers when he was the prince.

In this way, the cabinet has formed a new seven-member system, namely Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, Huang Huai, Yang Pu, Zhang Ying, and Chen Shan.

When the news came, Xu Hao knew that the famous "Sanyang" in history was true, and Sanyang was a loyal minister. But he is not perfect, as the most respected cabinet minister, he is undoubtedly responsible for the decline of the Xuande Dynasty.

Xu Hao was quietly observing the cabinet. Obviously, Chen Shan and Zhang Ying are not very capable, and they are Confucian scholars who are full of poetry and books, and they are good at rhetoric, and they are obviously laymen in dealing with complex government affairs.

Huang Huai was a veteran of the Five Dynasties. The official to the Ronglu Doctor, the secretary of the Shaobao Household Department and the president of the history of the Wuyingdian University, has presided over the examination twice and has repeatedly participated in the supervision of the country. His people are decisive and accessible, gentle and generous, and history evaluates him as "public counseling, with the style of ancient ministers".

It's a pity that Huang Huai is old, and in the face of the gradually converging three poplars, he faintly reveals the idea of retreating to the mountains and forests.

Xu Hao had no friendship with Huang Huai, and it was impossible to persuade the sixty-year-old man to continue to stick to his post.

Jin Youzi entered the Ministry of Rites and was a scholar of Wenyuange, and still served as a bachelor of Hanlin, and is now in charge of the records of the Xiurenzong. Xu Hao knew that Jin Youzi was not in good health and was not young, which meant that if nothing else, the cabinet would be Sanyang's territory.

The most obvious is that Yang Shiqi has a faint tendency to become the first assistant, and he and Yang Rong have obtained the most critical right to recommend and appoint and dismiss officials, and for a period of time, Yang Shiqi and the cabinet ministers have been selected, and the officials recommended to the emperor have almost completely been adopted by Zhu Zhanji, so that the authority of the cabinet has become increasingly heavy.

Xu Hao was not worried about this, although Sanyang said that he was attached to power, but his ethics were trustworthy, and he successively recommended a number of officials who were known for their honesty and integrity, and served as imperial envoys and other positions in the left and right capitals, and asked the emperor to appoint Gao Gu, Zhou Chen, Guo Zhong, Yu Qian and others to important positions.

Historically, it was the emergence of these young Zhuang scholars that made Yu Qian able to lead his subjects to turn the tide in one fell swoop under the crisis of the annihilation of the 400,000-strong army and the capture of Yingzong.

Zhu Zhanji was not a diligent emperor, he liked art and hunting, and gave Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong the right to write a part of the officials' books, that is, without the selection of the officials, the appointment of the emperor had the personnel power to directly appoint and dismiss some officials.

In the cabinet, Xu Hao admires Yang Rong, who is proficient in military affairs, not counting Huang Huai, Jin Youzi and other old ministers, Yang Rong is a rare shrewdness and ability that is generally evaluated inside and outside the government and the opposition, and his ability surpasses Yang Shiqi and Jiejin, but Yang Rong has one of the biggest flaws, he can't tolerate people's mistakes, and often reprimands him.

As early as the Hongxi period, Yang Rong, who suddenly ascended to a high position, was jealous of the officials, and the relationship was also very tense, and many ministers wanted to squeeze him out of the cabinet and publicly recommend Yang Rong as the priest of the country.

Zhu Gaochi disagreed, this is the same as Zhu Di's approach, Yang Rong did not accept the lesson, and still did not give face to anyone. Now that he is constantly attacking the faults of Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji and others, the news in the palace has caused Zhu Zhanji's displeasure.

Xu Hao, who observed this qiē, came to the conclusion that Yang Shiqi would take the initiative to ease the relationship with Yang Rong out of political considerations and open-mindedness, and the upright talent was reassuring.

But the power of the cabinet is gradually concentrated in the hands of the "three yangs", Zhu Zhanji is bound to promote his cronies and eunuchs to check and balance, he is not worried about the vassal king, not worried about the merits, not worried about the civil ministers, so in addition to the eunuchs around him, who else can he trust? This is not Zhu Zhanji's mistake, Xu Hao asked himself if he became the emperor, he would probably choose eunuchs, as if he trusted a few family members the most now, because it was easy to control him, and it would be a matter of killing him with just one sentence.

Xu Hao's father and son were distressed, and Xu Yu, who had been with Bixiao all day, felt hungry before Dimi. Qingyun sent in a bowl of lotus seed soup.

After Xu Yu ate it, he asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Qingyun said: "There are many." ”

"You take a bowl for your sister to eat, and then get some delicious side dishes."

Xu Yu walked out after explaining, Chunliu saw this and lit the wind lantern and walked in front, and came to Jieshoutang, the lanterns under the two corridors had been lit, and there were many mothers-in-law and girls standing.

Chunliu went over to report first, Xu Yu didn't need the maid to do anything, he opened the curtain and went in.

Seeing that my grandmother and sisters were there, fortunately the eldest lady did not come. Xu Yu stepped forward to greet the elders and asked, "When did the wife come back?" I'm not coming back today. ”

Xiao Shi said: "It's not, I almost can't get out again, and the Zhu family is still singing." ”

Xu Yu said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhu is really good at making trouble, singing and singing is just those few scenes, I have long been tired of watching it, why don't you get tired of it?" ”

Xiao Yushi said: "I said that I invited a famous actor today, and Kunqu Opera sang very well, I wanted to see it." My wife said let's go back. ”

"It's just like that, do you want to sing a flower?" Xiao Shi disagreed, "You like, Ming'er invited their team to sing for a few days." I'll show you all. ”

"That's a good idea, but we don't have any money." Xiao Yushi said with a smile.

"See? After the old lady left, you ladies all stared at me, according to Yu'er's father's words. The landlord's family has no food left. ”

Xiao Shi looked helpless, the big guys laughed, and everyone knew that the wife was happy. Everyone is competing to have fun at the moment.

Xiao Yushi took the time to ask, "Why didn't Mingzhi come, and he was sick again?" ”

Xu Yu said: "I haven't seen it for a day, it shouldn't be anything." He turned around and ordered, "Chunliu, you go and have a look." Chunliu turned around and went.

At this time, Xu Yun said delicately: "In the past two days, the house has been strangely deserted, my wife has come back, and the house is as lively as before." ”

Xiao Shi smiled and asked, "What have you done these days?" ”

Xu Yunsu said: "It's nothing, yesterday Sister-in-law Ripple allowed us to enter the poetry club, thanks to Yun Ning and Yun Yu, we made a few good poems." ”

"Really?" Xu Yu was interested and asked Yun Su to recite it to him, but Yun Su said that he couldn't remember clearly.

Xu Yu asked Yunning, Xu Yunning glanced at Yunyu and said, "Don't worry, my sister-in-law will show you when I go back." ”

Xu Yu coaxed: "Good sister, you have a good memory, recite it to me." ”

Because Xu Yunyu smiled and didn't speak, Yun Ning couldn't recite it, and looked left and right with a smile, just when Zhu Mingzhi came in. Xu Yunning immediately smiled and said, "Okay, she's here, you ask her to go." ”

Zhu Mingzhi didn't know what was going on, she was stunned, Xu Yu laughed, and she became more and more puzzled.

Xu Yunyu suddenly said: "The second brother wants to ask my sister about 'isn't it too late to find Fang'." ”

Zhu Mingzhi, who was inexplicable, blushed unnaturally, and said softly: "I don't know." Walking over to greet Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi asked, "How are you doing these days?" I am very happy that your sisters have opened a poetry club, come and recite a poem for me. ”

Zhu Mingzhi said with a smile: "It's all nonsense from us, it's not a poem, how can we recite it to my wife?" ”

Xu Yunyu laughed and said: "She wants her second brother to ask her to carry it, so she is willing to carry it." ”

Zhu Mingzhi chuckled unnaturally: "My sister is strange to say, he is not mine?" Why listen to him? ”

Who knew that Xu Yunyu sneered, "This is even more strange, who is he?" Who is he? What is it called? ”

"I'm not going to fight with you." Zhu Mingzhi's face turned red again, and he turned his back.

Xu Yunyu clapped her hands and smiled: "We all know that my sister's mouth has always fought with him. ”

These words made Princess Deqing's face flush with anxiety, and she couldn't get off the stage for a while, so she had to laugh and say: "My sister always makes me happy, I will not talk to the second lady from this time on." ”

Xiao Shi saw it in his eyes and laughed, if he could marry Yu'er under Princess Yucheng, he wouldn't be able to care about Lan Xiang even if he couldn't help it, after all, this was related to the glory and wealth of the entire Xu family. Speaking of which, Xu Hao's ambiguous attitude towards this matter undoubtedly contributed to the high degree of consistency of the whole family's mentality on this matter.

It is also the indulgence of the Xu family's collective, Xu Yu frequently gets close to Zhu Mingzhi, which causes the dissatisfaction of the young Xu family sisters, the child does not know how to hide, compared to Mu Lanxiang, Zhu Mingzhi seems to be an outsider. (To be continued......)
