The cabinet members at today's court meeting are dissatisfied with the editing.

In fact, the number of cabinet members in Beijing is never full.

On the civil service side, Ren Hengtai, the chief assistant, is the leader, Xie Jin, and Gao Yangzhi are the assistants. Now Gao Yangzhi has followed Zhu Yunxi on a tour to the north of Beijing.

The military generals have never been in Beijing at full strength from the beginning.

At the beginning, the imperial court ordered Wei Guogong Xu Yungong, Liang Guogong Lan Yu, and Xiping Hou Muying to be bachelors of Wuyingdian and join the cabinet. Except for Wei Guogong Xu Yungong, Lan Yu and Muying had been leading the troops at that time.

Even until now, Lan Yu and Mu Ying have never returned to Beijing, and they have not really performed their duties as cabinet ministers for a day.

As the cabinet system has been established for nearly a year, the attributes and characteristics of the cabinet have gradually become clear.

Cabinet ministers represent the will of the royal family and maintain the majesty of the king, but to a certain extent they also serve to balance the conflicts between the royal family and their ministers.

There is no special official rank for cabinet ministers.

Everything is based on the original official rank, with the title of cabinet bachelor, joining the cabinet, participating in important military and political affairs of the empire, and having the power to vote for and draft memorials for hundreds of officials.

For today's imperial court, there is nothing that cannot be tried.

The power and responsibilities of a governor's office only concern the four provinces of Yingzhou.

It doesn't matter if it's set up or not.

By contrast, the tax office, which had responsibilities throughout the empire, had been operating for several years and nothing new was unacceptable.

However, it is a political issue that needs to be considered to allow the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of Industry to go to Yingzhou Governor's Yamen.

Xu Yungong hugged the wat board and clasped his hands together.

This matter has nothing to do with the interests of the Governor's Office. Even if there is an additional governor's office in Yingzhou Four Roads, the Eastern Expedition army will still be dispatched and commanded by the Governor's Office.

Therefore, one of the three cabinet ministers in Beijing chose to keep silent.

Xie Jin asked for a while, then glanced at Zhu Gaochi who had repeatedly refuted Wang Jun when he left work today.

Since Zou Xueyu can continue to serve as the prefect of Yingtian, there is no need for him to stand up and speak out again.

Lest I be accused of being a teacher-student teaming up to form a clique for personal gain.

In the end, only Ren Hengtai was left before the problem reached the emperor.

Ren Hengtai raised his head and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the palace gate, then turned slightly and looked sideways at Wang Jun who was leaving his shift, the Minister of Civil Affairs Zhai Shan who was standing at a distance from his side, and the Minister of Hube who was standing in the train.

Yu Xin.

He doesn't have much impression of Wang Jun and Yu Xin. Wang Jun is a fool, at least in many public occasions this year, he has fully demonstrated his stupidity.

Yu Xin, on the other hand, although his position in the court is different, he still has some abilities.

If two ministers, the Ministry of Hubu and the Ministry of Industry, were to patrol the four provinces of Yingzhou, even if they were concurrently serving as governors with the official title of minister, once they left the capital, the court would have to rearrange two new ministers to take charge of the ministry.

And now everyone in the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry knows who is valued by the royal family.

For example, when walking in the Wenhua Palace, Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, the Great Craftsman, and Zhang Ergong, the Minister of Works.

Once Wang Jun and Yu Xin leave Yingtian City.

Ren Hengtai believed that it would not be long before Xia Yuanji and Zhang Ergong received orders to promote the two ministers.

Xia Yuanji and Xie Jin were both working in the Wenhua Palace, and Zhang Ergong was promoted to the position by His Highness Taisun.

In a daze, Ren Hengtai suddenly discovered that if things really developed like this, more than half of the officials in the imperial court, from the cabinet to the six ministries, would be devoted to His Highness the Grand Sun.

From Ren Hengtai's selfish point of view, he maintains a high degree of affirmation and recognition of the changes made by the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi in recent years, and he cannot conceal his praise.

But above this, there is another more serious point that not many people seem to pay attention to.

That is, the emperor is still alive, and he still looks like a dragon and a horse.

The crown prince is also in his prime. Although the incident occurred a few years ago, he has slowly recovered in the past few years.

Under this situation, the power of the emperor's grandson in the court has become so great that everyone has to take it seriously. What will happen to the inheritance and power distribution within the royal family in the future.

Ren Hengtai put a big question mark in his heart.

What was most helpless for him was that the emperor and the prince personally promoted this situation.

Whenever he thought of the emperor's decree granting the grandson the right to leave the capital, Ren Hengtai felt faint.

I can be sure that the conduct and character of the emperor's grandson are pure and good.

But in front of us, at today's court meeting, what about the civil and military ministers who are on Taisun's side?

In Ren Hengtai's eyes, there are three suns standing at the highest point of the Ming Dynasty.

It is the scorching sun in the morning, the scorching sun at noon, and the setting sun in the evening.

The scorching sun in the morning is always full of hope.

But the setting sun that night was actually very hot.

Who can guarantee that they will always be in a fixed position?

The first assistant has a headache.

But behind him, the officials were staring at him, and in front of him the emperor and the prince were also waiting for him to speak.

Ren Hengtai wanted to find a perfect solution, but in the end he had no choice but to say: "I think that the four provinces of Yingzhou can have governor's offices, and the left and right governors will jointly take charge of the government affairs of the four provinces."

After the first assistant finished speaking, he simply closed his mouth.

Yingzhou is not a big country, and the reason why the Four Roads were established was entirely to divide the original local culture and system of Yingzhou.

Setting up the governor's office above the four roads also facilitated the imperial government's management of Yingzhou.

However, he did not say how the imperial court should select candidates for the governor's office in Yingzhou.

The problem was finally brought to the attention of the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang tapped his chair gently with his fingers and looked calmly at the civil and military ministers in front of Fengtian Gate.

He smiled and spoke slowly: "The new expedition to Yingzhou is not like Jiaozhi, which has been our ruler in the Central Plains since ancient times. In the same year, the former Yuan Dynasty wanted to lead a ship owner to conquer Yingzhou, but he was hit by a storm and ended without any problems.

This time, the Ming Dynasty received God's blessing and extended the orthodoxy of the Central Plains. The soldiers went eastward, pacified Yingzhou, and collected it as territory. Four roads and three divisional yamen should be set up, and the governor's yamen should be set up above the fourth road to lead the general area.

During the Eastern Expedition, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were stationed in Yingzhou. The governor's office should have capable ministers who could innovate and rebuild Yingzhou.

The officials of the imperial court each perform their duties, and the affairs are different, and the powers are different. The governors on the left and right of Yingzhou Governor's Yamen should be led by the Ministry of Industry and the Secretary of the Ministry of Hudong. They should be added with the titles of Prince Shaofu and Prince Shaobao, and temporarily take charge of the four counties of Yingzhou. Taoism, law, punishment, taxes, and taxes.

It is appropriate to stabilize the four roads of Yingzhou as soon as possible and turn them into the territory of our Central Plains, so that our people in the Central Plains can communicate smoothly, and our envoys can make announcements to China and foreign countries to declare the power of the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Biao, who was beside the emperor, smiled silently.

The old man not only decided on the candidates for the governor's office in Yingzhou, he also mocked the previous dynasty who had died long ago.

Wang Jun and Yu Xin, who were standing in front of Fengtian Gate, felt their hearts tremble.

It's over.

The emperor finally chose to drive them out of Yingtian.

The false titles of Prince Shaofu and Prince Shaobao are just a consolation. The real thing is that they have to remove their positions from the positions of Minister of Household Affairs and Ministry of Works and give them to others.

As for the two of them, they could only be driven in despair to the fourth Yingzhou Road outside the East China Sea, far away from the Central Plains and away from the court.

Even, I don’t know when my return date will be.

It's just that no matter how unhappy Wang Jun and Yu Xin were, they didn't dare to hesitate in front of the emperor.

Yu Xin even walked out of the train quickly and stood next to Wang Jun.

The two of them had panic on their faces, neatly waving their robes and kneeling on the ground.

"I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness."

Things are going according to your imagination.

But Zhu Gaochi still frowned and looked calmly at Jiang Yi, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who first raised this matter.

He was originally the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he and Wang Jun had been officials together for a long time.

It is impossible to suddenly propose the appointment of officials in the fourth and third divisions of Yingzhou and send them to Yingzhou incidentally to Wang Jun.

And today’s question should have been about the river accident, but why hasn’t it been raised yet?

Although Wang Jun and Yu Xin were sent to Yingzhou and Zou Xueyu was saved, Zhu Gaochi did not feel happy because of this, but instead felt a little uneasy.

Strictly speaking, they lost the position of two Imperial Ministers at once today.

At this moment, Xie Jin suddenly stood up.

"Your Majesty, I would like to inform you that four new roads have been established in Yingzhou. Territories are also being opened up in the south. There are more and more military affairs in the four directions, and the government is complicated. The people in the Wenyuan Pavilion are not satisfied with the number of people, and things are difficult to do. I ask your Majesty for your permission. Fill up the Wenyuan Cabinet to ensure smooth military and political affairs for the country and the dynasty."

The imperial court has just left two ministers, and the vacant positions have not yet been filled.

At this time, Xie Jin suddenly expressed his hope in public that he could increase the number of cabinet members.

For a moment, all the officials in front of Fengtian Gate were surprised.

Let me ask you, if they were in Wenyuan Pavilion and were cabinet ministers, even if they were too busy to touch the ground and couldn't return home every night, they would never think of asking His Majesty to increase the number of cabinet members.

This is giving yourself power.
