Zhang Juzheng heard Xian Zhizhi's intention and immediately reacted: "Your Majesty wants to set up the Yanzheng Yamen in the Chief Secretary of Shandong!?"

As a former cabinet minister, Yin Shidan could no longer enter the central government.

Gao Gong was able to do this because Gao Gong had a deep relationship with Mu Zong.

Yin Shidan had nothing worth remembering about the little emperor.

Now that the emperor wants to resurrect this person and use him locally, there is no other reason besides using his political influence.

As for Yin Shidan's political influence... This person is from Shandong and is currently retiring in Jinan Prefecture!

In other words, it was Xu Jie, the Chief Secretary of Shandong.

There are six transshipment departments, among which Fujian and Shandong have no salt inspectors.

Shandong is adjacent to the Lianghuai River, and both are on the same line as the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal. Both places are represented by the Lianghuai Salt Patrol Censor, who governs and benevolent.

In fact, it was Lianghuai that took charge of Shandong's salt administration.

Nowadays, the Lianghuai salt class is too big to be missed. The emperor obviously wants to reverse the priorities. Not only should Shandong be separated separately, but also the power of the two Huaihe areas can be divided!

When Zhang Juzheng asked this question, everyone reacted.

This is to use Yin Shidan's influence to suppress the salt policy of Huaihe and Huaihe in Shandong!

Wang Guoguang couldn't help but look at the emperor a few more times.

What a sophisticated trick.

The emperor said calmly: "Yin Shaobao is highly respected and well-versed in political affairs. Isn't this inappropriate?"

Zhang Juzheng did not answer immediately.

He just thought: "I understand what your Majesty means, and we will discuss this matter at the court meeting tomorrow."

This means that we need to go back and deduce it carefully before talking about it.

Yin Shidan's background is not bad.

The late emperor lived in his latent residence, served as an assistant minister in the cabinet, and was a minor protector.

Moreover, this person is also quite famous in the poetry world, and his reputation as a scholar far exceeds that of Gao and Zhang.

If a person with this kind of qualifications really sits in Shandong and suppresses the Lianghuai Salt Administration, it is bound to have miraculous results.

It's just... this person's qualifications are too high. Even if he is only used locally, he has to be carefully considered.

Zhu Yijun was not worried at all that the cabinet would fail, and then added: "As for the deputy position, you might as well let Yu Tanhua take over. He is of the same mind as Yin Shaobao's teachers and students."

Everyone looked at Yu Youding.

Several Japanese officials were appointed, but this one was left behind. It turned out to be for Yin Shidan.

Judging by the time, the emperor probably had the draft a few months ago.

It really is one link after another.

Yu Youding suppressed the excitement in his heart and immediately stood up to thank him: "I am so talented that I may not be able to take on a big job if I suddenly rise to a high position. Only by devoting myself to serve the country can I thank Your Majesty for your trust."

Zhu Yijun helped him stand up.

After some earnest instructions, Yu Youding was asked to sort out the salt administration files, study in depth, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and integrate them with specific government affairs after arriving at the place.

After talking about business, it was still early, so the emperor grilled skewers with his own hands and shared them with the ministers.

Unfortunately, the condiments are too bland, and you can only rely on the taste of the ingredients themselves to win.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of beef and mutton. If you grill it, just sprinkle some salt on it and it will be quite delicious.

During this period, Zhu Yijun started chatting again.

"The New Year and the Lantern Festival are approaching. I followed Yuan Fu's advice and turned off the lights in Yuanxiao. However, I felt that the New Year was not enough, and there was quite a bit of criticism."

"I just had a sudden idea. Why don't we set up two or three grass-stage troupes in the city, invite some actors and performers, and gather some flavor for the new year? It won't cost much. What do you think?"

After that, he added: "The troupes in the palace and the eunuchs can also come and have fun together."

During the Chinese New Year, there is nothing you can do about not holding a lantern festival to save money, and it doesn't hurt to get scolded.

However, these free evening parties might as well be made interesting and enjoyed by the people.

It wouldn't cost much to just set up a stage as the organizer, so the cabinet thought about it and agreed.

Everyone chatted about some ideas casually.

The emperor and several pavilion elders each wrote a calligraphy as a colorful head.

Feeling the current political atmosphere with the cabinet, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but smile.

Just at this time, the matter of the Yuan Dynasty Amnesty came up again.

Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi spoke together: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhigao from the Ministry of Punishment reported that the Three Laws Division has concluded the case of Mu Chaobi, Duke of Guizhou."

"The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple believe that this person deserves death."

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate feels that it is enough to send him to Nanjing and imprison him."

"If we have different opinions, please ask His Majesty to judge."

Although the emperor entrusted the government to the cabinet.

However, the cabinet cannot specialize in such criminal cases involving nobles and must consult the inner court.

In the past, I would ask the two palaces, but since I am here today, I just want to ask the emperor.

Zhu Yijun heard this, finished chewing the mutton in his mouth, and asked: "Imprisonment!?"

"This man cheated on his mother and insulted his sister-in-law, took away his brother's land and house, hid criminals, harmed his parents and children, and deployed troops and fire talismans to spy on the imperial court. Don't kill this kind of person!?"

Otherwise, most of today's nobles are useless.

Since he ascended the throne, the nobles he has dealt with in the two palaces have repeatedly refreshed his outlook on life.

General Guan Feng of the Prince of Anqiu committed adultery, killed his brother-in-law with his own hands, and set his house on fire in an attempt to silence her.

Qin Heng, the general of the auxiliary state of the Lushan palace, killed Mu Ning, the Fengguo general of the Wu palace, in the street due to a quarrel.

And now the Mu Chaobi mentioned by the two ministers is even more bizarre!

He was not qualified to seize the title, but he got to the position by killing his nephew.

After he came to power, his mother-in-law insulted his sister-in-law and took away his brother's land and house, and was impeached by the imperial censor. As a result, he used the border army's talisman to scout into the capital to spy on the central government's attitude.

After the Dongchuang Incident, the central government deprived him of his title and passed it on to his son. He was dissatisfied and his son killed him!

Why keep this kind of trash if you don't kill it?

Zhang Juzheng considered it and said: "Chao Bi Ning has been evil for many years. He has murdered his parents and children and killed innocent people. It is not in vain to punish him for his crime."

"But...the three generations of his ancestors all made great contributions to the country. They have no real record of rebellion, so it seems that they should be treated with a little leniency."

"My intention is to send him to Nanjing and imprison him for the time being."

Gao Yi also agreed: "Your Majesty, it is reasonable and reasonable for the three judges to consider his death penalty. However, there will be a general amnesty in seven days."

"Unless it's a quick kill in the next few days."

"I believe that extraordinary things should not be done frequently."

Zhu Yijun was helpless.

He really wanted to kill this person, but the cabinet had said so, so it was not good for him to frequently waste his tacit understanding with the cabinet for such things.

I had no choice but to wave my hand: "Go and ask my mother, I'm not good at handling this kind of thing."

After some more casual discussions, it was getting late.

All the ministers got up and left one after another.

Zhu Yijun made a move to send him off, and all the ministers quickly expressed their gratitude.

He had no choice but to ask Zhang Hong to send several ministers back on his behalf.

Zhang Hong walked to the front and stretched out his hand to guide the way, while several ministers were facing the emperor to say goodbye.

Zhu Yijun was saying goodbye to his ministers.

Suddenly I saw Zheng Zongxue, a member of the Zhongshushe, approaching everyone with a memorial marked in red in his hand.

Marked in red, it means urgent.

Zhu Yijun's heart skipped a beat.

His face remained calm, and he only shook his head slightly to signal Zheng Zongxue to keep quiet.

The ministers turned their backs to Zheng Zongxue and did not see this scene.

When all the ministers turned around and left, Zheng Zongxue had quietly carried the memorial behind him.

After the ministers left, Zheng Zongxue handed the memorial to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent memorial from Five Hundred Miles South, Zhili."

Some readers asked me to save manuscripts, but I can only save so much every day. During the critical rising period, I can’t update less to prevent readers from keeping books. I really can’t save them. QAQ
