Chapter 553: The Mystery of the New Cabinet Members

When He Liu went out to Beijing for office work, the leaves of the poplar trees at home were green. When he returned home, the yellow leaves had fallen.

Bai Xiaoyan was holding Xiao Hanjiao in the main hall.

When He Liuyi entered the door, he shouted: "Xiaoyan, I'm back!"

Bai Xiaoyan was extremely surprised: "You are back! Our family is finally a little popular!"

He Liu smiled and said, "I haven't seen each other for several months, and my baby grandson has grown up so big?"

Bai Xiaoyan handed Xiao Hanjiao to He Liu and hugged him, saying, "I'll go to the kitchen and ask the servants to cook a few good dishes."

Xiangxiang and Li Rubai went to Shanxi, and Zhong'er was studying with the emperor in Yongshou Palace. The huge home seemed empty.

The servant arranged supper in the dining room. He Liu sighed, "Oh, my official position is getting bigger and bigger. But our family is getting deserted."

As he was talking, a loud sound of footsteps came into He Liu's ears.

Li Heijiu walked into the He Mansion with two jars of Shaoxing wine. Behind him, he followed the old lady guards of the Jinyiwei, such as Tartar, Xue Jiu, and Yan Shi.

"Sixth Master! We are here to welcome you!"

"Sister-in-law, it's fake to welcome the guests, and it's real to eat free food. We only brought two bottles of Shaoxing wine."

"Oh, this is our little Hanjiao? Let Grandpa Jiu hug you."

Seeing a group of old brothers, He Liu felt much better.

Everyone sat down. Li Heijiu said, "Sixth Master, Han Wu hasn't arrived today. He is in Henan and is taking people to monitor Gao Gong."

He Liu nodded: "I have left for the time, nothing happened in Beijing, right?"

Xue Jiu complained, "There is no big deal, but small things keep going! Zhang Shoufu promoted the examination method, and the officials were in great pain. Many people secretly wrote hidden poems and posted them outside the Donghua Gate to implicitly mock Zhang Shoufu. Zhang Shoufu has a lot of masters, so he naturally won't care about them. But our Jinyiwei must not ignore them. We captured a few six or seventh ranks of the officials and the censors."

Yan Shidao: "The King of Liao was stripped of his title. The nobles in the capital were calm for a while. But the prince-consor Xu Congcheng was still ready to move, connecting the nobles to resist the new policy. He is the eldest princess's son-in-law, and his status is noble, so we can't move him." @"Look at ◎*文(*用版片=x始合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合合�

He Liu frowned: "With all my brothers here, there is a saying that I want to explain to you. The new policy is beneficial to the country and the people. Our Jinyiwei must protect the new policy! We wear the imperial court's brocade clothes and eat the imperial court's salary. Where did the imperial court's silver come from? It's nothing more than the tax paid by the people! The people are our parents of food and clothing. When we serve as an official, we always have to do some good things for the people! In a word, protecting Mr. Zhang's new policy is to do great things for the people!"

Li Heijiu said: "Don't worry, Sixth Master. The brothers know which end is light and which end is heavy. We would rather offend the vassal kings, princes, princes, princes, and guests in and outside the capital than to contribute to the implementation of the new policy by Zhang Shoufu."

He Liu asked: "How are the three guys Zhu Xixiao, Cui Guangzhi and Li Bofeng doing in the Uszang Snow Mountain?"

Zhao Ci replied: "According to the people we sent to monitor them at Uszang Snow Mountain, these three goods are now drinking snow water with the Great Lama of Sangji Danzhu every day, chanting scriptures and chanting Buddha's name. I am very honest."

He Liu smiled and said, "They have done so many unethical things before, so they should eliminate their sins in front of the Buddha."

Everyone was having a meal and chatting. After eating, everyone said goodbye. However, He Liu left behind Li Heijiu, the Nangong Punishment envoy.

He Liu asked Li Heijiu separately: "How many eyes and ears have you sent to stare at the prince consort Xu Congcheng?"

Li Heijiu lowered his voice and said, "Ten eyes and ears. In addition, there are three servants in the eldest princess's mansion, and I have bribed them. Now Xu Congcheng's every move is under our surveillance."

He Liudao: "It is a taboo to monitor the princess and his wife. Let us be careful not to expose our wits."

The next day, Chengtian Palace had a morning court.

Outside Donghua Gate, court officials were waiting for the court.

He Liu returned from the Beijing office. The officials in the court felt like a mirror: He Liu's trip was ordered by the Shoufu Zhang to go to Jingzhou to find the bad luck of the Liao King.

Many officials hurriedly greeted He Liu. These people all had a heart to flatter He Liu.

Who doesn't know that the Sixth Master He in front of him is now in charge of the Jinyiwei. The two auxiliary officials, one is his best friend and the other is his righteous brother. His power is no less than Lu Bing back then.

Feng Bao, who was on duty outside Donghua Gate, shouted: "My ministers, come to the palace and go to the morning court!"

A group of officials rushed through Donghua Gate and headed straight to Chengtian Palace.

Emperor Wanli sat on the dragon chaise. Behind him, there was still a pearl curtain on the left and right. Empress Dowager Chen was dozing behind the pearl curtain on the left. Empress Dowager Li was energetic behind the pearl curtain on the right.

The eleven-year-old Emperor Wanli opened his mouth: "All ministers, I have something to report!"

Zhang Juzheng came out and said, "Report to the Emperor. Since Gao Yi's death, only one minister in the cabinet has been guarding it alone, which is not in accordance with the etiquette. I suggest that several ministers from the Ministry and the Court will be transferred to the cabinet."

Emperor Wanli said, "Oh? I wonder if Mr. Zhang is someone to choose?"

Just now, Empress Dowager Li was about to remind Emperor Wanli to ask if there was a candidate for Zhang Juzheng. Before she could speak, Emperor Wanli had already asked Zhang Juzheng.

This made Empress Dowager Li feel quite pleased, and she thought to herself: Jun'er from the Ai family has really grown up!

Zhang Juzhengdao: "I recommend Lu Diaoyang, Minister of Personnel, as the second assistant. The Minister of Works, Pan Jixun, Minister of Revenue, Wang Guoguang, the left assistant minister of the Cangchang, and Zhang Siwei, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, as the cabinet officer."

He Liu couldn't help but sigh in the military officer class: Mr. Zhang is such a good method!

The reason why He Liu praised Zhang Juzheng's method in his heart was that this new cabinet list is really mysterious!

First of all, Zhang Juzheng recommended Lu Diaoyang as the secondary assistant in the cabinet. Who is Lu Diaoyang? That is a good gentleman like Li Chunfang! Even if he became a secondary assistant, he would not point fingers at Zhang Juzheng.

Although Pan Jixun, the Minister of Works, was independent, he had been supervising the construction of river embankments in other provinces all year round. Having a name in the cabinet could only be a false name. He had no chance to participate in the decision on major matters in the cabinet.

Wang Guoguang, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the governor of Cangchang, was a famous financial management expert in the court. In addition, he was Zhang Juzheng's friend. He would agree with any orders that Zhang Juzheng would impose.

The last one is Zhang Siwei, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. This person is a famous fence-bearer in the court. When Gao Gong was in power, he was Gao Dang. Zhang Juzheng was in power, and he took the initiative to surrender to Zhang Dang. Zhang Siwei's uncle was Wang Chonggu. Wang Chonggu is now in charge of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civil affairs in the northwest, and is simply the king of the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. Doing this is obviously a sacrifice for Wang Chonggu.

Look, Governor Wang, I have transferred your nephew into the cabinet. You can implement the new policy for me in the northwest!

Even if these four people are in the cabinet, they cannot threaten the authority of the Prime Minister Zhang Juzheng!

To put it bluntly, these four people are all eunuch's wives: decorations!
