When Zhu Youxiao saw Yang Feng coming, he stood up and walked to Yang Feng and helped his hands, "I just talked to Master Sun and the others about my beloved, but I didn't think I'll arrive. This really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived."

"Ahem..."

Zhu Guozhen, who was standing aside, couldn't help but cough twice. Zhu Youxiao then realized that saying that he was Cao Cao is not a compliment these days, especially if this sentence is said from an emperor, it is easier for people to misunderstand.

He whispered a little embarrassedly: "Why... I'm just an example, I don't have to take it to my heart."

Yang Feng smiled: "Your Majesty, I understand that Your Majesty is not such a monarch, nor is it such a person."

"It's good that you can understand." Zhu Youxiao also laughed and felt relieved. To be honest, he was really afraid that Yang Feng would have a knot in his heart.

Without continuing on this topic, Han Du, as a cabinet master, moved over, "Duke Xinguo, this time you are commanding the army outside to eliminate the bandits, and for some reason you left the army behind and returned to the capital without authorization. Don't you know this is a taboo?"

"I naturally know." Yang Feng did not avoid this question, but said to Han Du: "I have sent someone to send a document to report this to Your Majesty. I think Your Majesty should have received it. Since Your Majesty has not sent anyone to reject my memorial, I naturally think there is no problem."

This time it was Han Yu's turn to have nothing to say. The three prestigious cabinet masters were actually brushed by a few small officials below with small means. They delayed the official documents sent by the Duke for seven days before they were sent. Isn't it embarrassing enough to say it?

Sun Chengzong waved his hand and signaled Han Du not to argue with Yang Feng anymore. He whispered: "Okay, let's not talk about this, I trust Duke, you should think of necessary things when you go to Beijing this time."

"There is indeed something important to discuss with Your Majesty." Yang Feng nodded.

Sun Chengzong asked curiously, "Oh...what is the important thing? Can Duke Xin leave behind tens of thousands of troops and go to the capital? Will it be convenient to talk to me and a few of you?"

"cannot!"

Yang Feng simply refused, which made Sun Chengzong blush.

Now Sun Chengzong's face was a little uneasy. At this time, Sun Chengzong was very different from the Liaodong governor who was trembling with thin ice all day long. Now, as the chief minister of the cabinet, he is more than ten thousand people. It can be said that there are very few things that he cannot ask about in the entire Ming Dynasty. The reason why he asked Yang Feng just now was just out of politeness, but he was beaten back by Yang Feng.

Looking at Sun Chengzong, whose old face was a little red, Han Yu couldn't help but be angry and shouted: "Sincere Duke, as the saying goes, everything is impossible to tell others. I believe that you must have important state affairs when you come back this time to discuss with Your Majesty. As the chief minister of the cabinet, how can Lord Sun not be qualified to know? Do you still have the chief minister in your eyes?"

"Why should I have a prime minister in my eyes?"

Yang Feng looked at Han Du strangely.

"This Duke of the True Kingdom was conferred by Your Majesty, and he was loyal to the Ming Dynasty court and Your Majesty, not the chief minister of the cabinet and the cabinet master. After I report to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will decide whether to inform you about this matter, rather than taking over the main person like you, or does Lord Han think that he can be on an equal footing with Your Majesty if he becomes a cabinet master?

Don’t forget that all cabinet members are organized, prosecutors, and prosecutors, and do not place officials, and they are not allowed to dictate the officials. The officials report their affairs, and they are not allowed to be related. What right do you have to let me report to you national affairs?"

"you……"

Han Dong almost spurted out an old blood.

Yang Feng is right. The lack of function at the beginning of the cabinet was just to be the emperor's private secretary, not a power organization.

However, this is just an old calendar. After more than two hundred years of development, the cabinet has long developed into the emperor's highest aide and decision-making body. As the prime minister of the cabinet, Sun Chengzong is actually close to the position of modern prime minister, which is also the reason why Sun Chengzong has the confidence to ask Yang Feng.

It is logical that Yang Feng would tell them the reason for returning to Beijing this time, but this fact is too important. He didn't want to tell the matter out before he communicated with Zhu Youxiao. Who knows if the news will be leaked after telling these old men?

Another thing is that Yang Feng doesn’t want to be abusive to the bad habits of these civil servants.

History has told people well that the best and most scientific method of dividing civil and military affairs in a country is the best and most scientific method.

Neither civil or military officer should be overstepping power. Just keep in charge of their own affairs. If you have to overtake each other, the result will often not be too wonderful. The Anshi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty and the tragic ending of the Song Dynasty have already given people a good warning.

However, later people often overlooked these things, and even Sun Chengzong, who had always been smart and capable, could not avoid the vulgarity.

However, facing Yang Feng, who has always acted strong and domineeringly, although Han Yu was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, he had no choice but to do anything about him. After all, what he said was reasonable. As a front-line general, it was reasonable for Yang Feng to report the emergency military situation to the emperor. There was no reason for their cabinet to let Yang Feng report to them.

Sun Chengzong looked at Yang Feng deeply. He wanted to tell Yang Feng, do you know that doing this will lead to no friends, and offending all the cabinet masters in the cabinet will not do any good for you. It is better to leave a way out for yourself as a person.

But in the end, all these words turned into a sigh, and shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, since Duke Xin wants to report to Your Majesty alone, let him agree to Your Majesty first, and then Your Majesty will tell us the same."

Yang Feng smiled slightly, and he understood Sun Chengzong's subtext very clearly. Although you don't tell us now, don't forget that we are cabinet masters. Any decisions made by His Majesty must be carried out through us. It is impossible to hide them from us.

But even if you understand Yang Feng doesn't care. I'm the cheater who can travel back and forth between two time and space. Are you afraid that you won't be able to do it?

At this time, Zhu Youxiao could no longer sit there and watch the fun. He held back his smile and said, "Old Master Sun, Master Han, Master Zhu, you three will go back first. After Duke Xinguo finished telling me, I will inform you about the matter."

Hearing Zhu Youxiao say this, Sun Chengzong and the other two were not good enough to stay here. They all stood up and bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Since that's the case, I will leave."

After saying that, the three of them turned around and left the imperial study without even looking at Yang Feng.

Seeing the three of them going out, Zhu Youxiao said helplessly to Yang Feng: "You, you, let me tell you what you are good about. Even if you don't want to tell them something, can't you say it more tactfully? You have to make them so angry that you will be willing to do it?"

Yang Feng shrugged: "I just don't care about these civil servants who look coquettish all day long, as if they can control the world and the earth, and in the middle, they also have to care whether they want to fart. Who gives them the courage?"
