He turned to look at the three cabinet bachelors. In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, these three were probably ready to make a decisive move, right?

However, Zhu Houzhao did not necessarily have to object to the idea they came up with. The Dali Temple of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment verified it, the cabinet drafted the list, and the emperor approved it. From a procedural point of view, there is no problem. Of course, in this way,

There is nothing going on without the Salt and Iron Department. This is seizing power and taking power into one's own hands.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple are all civil bureaucracies, not to mention that the cabinet ultimately has to draw up the list. To put it bluntly, it is the cabinet that has the final say.

Although in order to avoid leaving the impression that the emperor was monopolizing power, Zhong Zhong still added a sentence of "emperor approval", but everyone could see that this sentence was of no use.

What is red approval? It can only be for agreement or disagreement. If you don’t agree, you will send it back to the cabinet to make a new decision. The next batch of people to be submitted is not the cabinet’s final decision. If they cannot pass the cabinet test, this person does not want to pass.

The approval of the salt merchant. This is the benefit of power. It is useless even if Shouning Hou takes the emperor's route. If Shouning Hou is pressed, no one can reach the imperial court.

After Zhong Zhong spoke, no one in the hall spoke. Li Dongyang glanced at everyone's faces, and then slowly said: "Do you still have any opinions?"

Everyone remained silent, turned around and bowed to where Zhu Youtang was, obviously waiting for Zhu Youtang to make the decision.

Zhu Houzhao discovered this matter, and it was impossible for Zhu Youtang not to discover it. After pondering for a moment, Zhu Youtang slowly said: "Let's do what Zhen Aiqing said about this matter!" After saying this,

After saying this, Zhu Youtang leaned on the dragon chair and stopped talking. Obviously, these words represented Zhu Youtang's final word.

Although he was a little regretful, Zhu Houzhao understood his father's thoughts. The civil servants must be wary of being so decisive.

It is indeed inappropriate to place this power in the Salt and Iron Department. The verification can also be done by Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, and some officials may be involved.

Zhu Houzhao thought about his own Huanyi Bureau. When the time comes, he will ask the Huanyi Bureau to investigate. Maybe he will pull out the carrots and bring up the mud, and then he may be able to implicate someone. It has to be said that this is another kind of father-son relationship.

There was a tacit understanding between them, both of them thought of the same place and made a similar decision, but neither father nor son knew about it.

Hearing Zhu Youtang's words, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly relaxed, and the tense state of the civil servants disappeared in an instant.

Although Zhu Youtang's words only agreed with Ji Zhong's words, it was the emperor who made the final decision on the salt merchants' admission, but it represented an attitude of the emperor, an attitude of trust towards civil servants, which was more important to them than anything else. Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance

Ji Zhong was sweating now. It was obvious that the pressure on him just now was not small. After the decisive decision just now, his mood was naturally different now.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the civil servants expressionlessly. Compared with the previous morning court discussions, Ge Dan gained a lot from this court meeting.

This is still a time when civil servants can stick together. If the first assistant and the second assistant were to fight, this court discussion would probably be more interesting.

"We have discussed two things, let's take a rest!" Zhu Youtang said suddenly, and at the same time said to He Neng who was waiting for him behind him: "I will prepare some things for you, my dears, and let you eat something to cushion your stomach.

"As he said that, Zhu Houzhao stood up with a smile and left amidst everyone's thanksgiving. Zhu Houzhao naturally hurried to follow.

The father and son came to the back and sat down. Zhu Youtang picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then picked up a piece of snack and took a bite, looking satisfied.

Zhu Houzhao was also with him, eating snacks and drinking tea. He didn't feel it when the court was discussing inside, but now he is hungry.

After eating two pieces of snacks, Zhu Youtang wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief, then turned to look at Zhu Houzhao, and then slowly said: "Father just agreed to Ji Zhong's suggestion, do you know why?"

"Go back to my father, for the sake of stability!" Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, and then said, although it involves many things, stability is a very important point.

Zhu Youtang nodded, and then said happily: "As long as you can understand, besides, it is impossible for you and me to do everything, just let the people below understand our thoughts.

If it's not good, just replace it. There will always be someone who can do it well. Diligence is a good thing, but you must not do everything yourself. That won't produce good results."

"I have learned a lesson!" Zhu Houzhao quickly bowed and said. In fact, Zhu Houzhao was complaining crazily in his heart.

Historically, Zhu Youtang became ill due to overwork and exhausted himself to death. He died in his thirties. Now he has taught himself how to maintain his health. This gap is a bit big.

Seeing his son's expression, Zhu Youtang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Forget it, you know how to take care of yourself better than my father. Zhao'er has grown so big in a blink of an eye. Time flies so fast!"

Although what Zhu Houzhao talked about was just gossip and seemed to have no serious topic, and he even got into some family matters later on, Zhu Houzhao always accompanied him with a smile, and the laughter of the father and son spread far away. Zhu Houzhao understood in his heart that his father was

It's not that he wants to rest, or that he really wants to tell himself this. He is just comforting himself because he feels sorry for himself.

The title "father" is profound. In Chinese culture, if one describes a father, then "stern father" must be a commonly used word.

His father is unsmiling, serious and stern, and Zhu Youtang naturally treats Zhu Houzhao the same way, but his father's care and love for his son are not less. After the court discussion, Zhu Youtang agreed with the civil servants.

Bian's suggestion obviously failed Zhu Houzhao to achieve his expected goals, which made Zhu Youtang feel a little sorry for his son.

After all, his son had worked hard to plan, but in the end he ended up with such a result. Zhu Youtang felt that his son might be a little disappointed.

But Zhu Houzhao didn't care much. What he plans is done by people. Success depends on God. Whether things work or not depends on the right time, place and people. It's definitely not just about what you want. Zhu Houzhao can accept this calmly. Besides, what is this thing called? Cabinet.

Just draw up a list and arrange for one person to join the cabinet. Then you can have a role in the cabinet.

There are always more solutions than difficulties. Zhu Houzhao didn't believe it and couldn't manipulate them. The two sides were not on the same level at all.

"It's almost time, let's go back!" Seeing Zhu Houzhao's indifferent look, Zhu Youtang breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile. In fact, Zhu Youtang was really worried that his son had a knot in his heart. After all,
Chapter completed!
