In fact, the reduction of the vassal states was not so imminent for Zhu Yunxiu at this time.

The vassal kings were there, are you afraid that they would run away?

Besides, Zhu Yunyu is not the confused person in history of Emperor Jianwen.

Since Jianwen ascended the throne, the throne under his butt has never been stable. Outside, there are vassal kings eyeing each other, and the civil servants system of the military group, and the local governors are watching secretly.

Zhu Yunyu did not need to reduce the vassals to establish his authority and consolidate his imperial power. The governor of the world's essence commanded him to change all the people he promoted. There was no party struggle in the court, and there was no shame in the empty talk.

There is imperial power and military power. It is impossible for the vassal king to have any impact on him. Besides, he wants to reduce the vassal powers to remove the future burden of the country, not a certain person.

For Zhu Yunxi at this time, what is more important is how to sort out the internal affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

The huge and bloated bureaucratic system, how to improve efficiency, develop people's livelihood, and how to move towards a prosperous direction, not being self-consistent or self-esteem is the headache.

Since the old man abolished the Secretariat, the emperor was in great power, and the six ministries were directly responsible to the emperor. Later generations have shown that the Qing Dynasty's centralized power was already at its peak, but in Zhu Yunyu's view, the price of the peak was that the emperor was not only a workaholic, but also a paranoid, or even an iron man.

Zhu Yunqiu knew more clearly in his heart that he was just a mortal.

If a man is the only man in the world, is his virtue worthy?

Such a country, such a territory, billions of creatures in the people. We must be careful as if we are walking on thin ice. One man is sometimes poor, so what if we are the emperor?

Therefore, the cabinet later in the Ming Dynasty and the Military Affairs Office during the Qing Dynasty were all products born after wise monarchs realized that one person could not benefit the world.

In front of Zhu Yunxiu, the biggest problem at this stage is that outstanding wise ministers need long-term training and training. Therefore, the more they complete the transition between the old and new Ming Dynasty, the more they feel that no one is available to them.

On the way back to the palace, he walked forward silently with his hands behind his back, full of thoughts.

Outside the main hall of Qianqing Palace, there is a row of slightly smaller houses surrounding it.

From the left, there are the snack room and tea room, the guard room and the imperial doctor room on duty, as well as the locker room, the toilet, etc.

The old minister Ling Han was waiting for the audience in the duty room. He looked out the window with a turbid gaze. Dozens of eunuchs were busy under the command of the chief supervisor of the Qianqing Palace. In the distance, guards were monitoring a group of craftsmen who were in panic.

"Mr. Wang!" Ling Han stood up and walked outside the house.

The turtlemaster was commanding the eunuch to move things into the room next to him. Hearing this, he quickly turned around and smiled, "Sir, are you calling the janitor?"

"What are you going to do?" Ling Han stepped forward with a cane and asked with a smile, then looked into the room.

From the outside, it was a room, but when I saw it, I realized that there were two or three rooms inside, which were very spacious.

This room was originally used by the Tongzhengsi Department. Memorials from all over the world will be delivered here every day, and then the officials of the Tongzhengsi Department will check whether there are any major military and national affairs. If there is any, they will be picked out and given to the emperor immediately. If there is no, they will be sent to the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace in order.

"The emperor asked to pack up these rooms and say that they would be used by the ministers in the court in the future!" The turtle hilariously.

"Don't there be a duty room..." As he said, Ling Han's eyes were a little thoughtful, and he continued to look at the eunuchs' room where tables and chairs were placed.

"In the future, the duty room may be used to rest for the ministers who are meeting!" Ling Han said in his heart, "This house seems to be a place where the emperor's confidant ministers will stay alone in the future."

"By relying on the emperor's approach, we can not only help the emperor share government affairs, but also summon them at any time to discuss national affairs. It is equivalent to a narrowing of the Secretariat, which is the most confidential place in the future of the Ming Dynasty!"

Ling Han thought for a moment and guessed it almost completely.

Three rooms are not able to accommodate seven or eight people, but they can dominate the world and become the core of the Ming Empire.

Suddenly, Ling Han's heart was a little hot.

"If I don't retreat, I will definitely have a place in this room. Although I don't have the name of the prime minister, I have the reality of the prime minister, and I am less than one person and more than ten thousand people..."

But suddenly, Ling Han shook his head again.

He cursed in his heart, "Damn, you are not afraid of death in this old bone. Hehe, you still have to make up for the numbers at this age. Not to mention that the younger generations who are motivated do not agree, you don't have the energy and strength. Retreat bravely is the way to establish yourself!"

"Brother?" Seeing Ling Han thinking, the turtleman asked in a low voice, "What else do you have to give?"

"I dare not!" Ling Han smiled, "I just asked casually!"

"Wait a minute, I guess the emperor is coming back soon!" The turtle laughed.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yunqiu, surrounded by figure, had already come in through the Duanmen gate and walked up the white marble steps leading to the Qianqing Palace.

~~

"Old minister..."

"No gift!" In the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunxiu reached out to support Ling Han without waiting for Ling Han to salute, and asked Ling Han to sit on the stool and smiled, "Didn't I say that you are an old minister of the country, and you don't have to be so polite in private!" As he said, he said to the eunuch, "Put tea to Master Ling!"

"The emperor is kind and kind, and the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers cannot be abolished!" Ling Han smiled, "If you are old and don't talk about etiquette and law in front of the emperor, then you will be able to rely on your seniority?"

"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled twice and looked at him for a moment, "Senior Ling is not in good health recently? Why do I think you seem to have lost weight!"

"I am an older person!" Ling Han smiled, "As aged person, either this or that, he is soaked in a medicine jar all day!"

As he said that, he paused and looked at Zhu Yunxiu and continued, "I'm not hiding it from the emperor. The old minister is increasingly afraid of the New Year and the holidays, because every time he celebrates, he will be less. This year is over, I wonder if I can survive until next year."

"You can't talk nonsense!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "You have always been healthy, even if you are a little ill and carefully regulate your condition."

He said this, but he felt a little strange.

The old minister Ling Han doesn't speak in this way on weekdays. When the king and his ministers meet, they always say whatever they want and go straight to the point. Today, they have different meanings.

"I know the old minister's body, I'm just going to endure it!" Ling Han smiled, "It seems that there is no big problem, but the foundation has collapsed a long time ago. Maybe one day I can't open my eyes when I close my eyes." As he said, he paused again, "I thought I had taken life and death lightly in the early years, but now I'm old and confused!"

Zhu Yunqiu, who was sitting cross-legged on Luoshan bed, did not speak, but picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"If you don't feel bad, you will always have the past in your mind. You are still a little worried all day long. If you want to put it bluntly, you will suddenly be afraid of death! The old minister asked his eldest daughter-in-law to take out the old clothes prepared for him and take a look first!"

"There are also longevity materials for funerals, so I took them out and looked at them. The old minister remembered that when I prepared these things before, I said that wearing old clothes is just a fool, and when people die, they don't wear anything the same. I also said that whether the coffin board is thick or not, isn't it the same bite by insects."

"But now, after seeing these things, the old minister always feels dissatisfied. He either thinks that his clothes are too thin, the coffin board is too crisp, or he thinks that the Feng Shui of his cemetery needs to be surveyed again!"
