"My minister, Li Shanchang, pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Mr. Xu Da, pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Mr. Wu Lin, pay homage to Your Majesty."

In the imperial study room, three ministers of the court bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The beloved ministers are exempted from courtesy."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand easily.

"I thank Your Majesty."

“…”

The three of them stood up and then watched Zhu Yuanzhang standing in front of the desk, splashing ink.

The prince stood respectfully beside him.

"I wonder what your Majesty is asking me for? "

Xu Da asked first.

You should know that the three of them are all important officials of the court.

But when His Majesty summoned the three of them to the imperial study late at night, something important must have happened.

However, the Tartars in the Northern Yuan Dynasty were already beaten by our Ming army, and the Goryeo side had already surrendered without fighting.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, he also chatted with Li Shanchang and Wu Da. Recently, there were no natural disasters and man-made disasters in various places in the Ming Dynasty.

Why is Your Majesty so anxious to summon us to the Imperial Study Room? What exactly happened?

Not only Xu Da, but also Li Shanchang and Wu Lin were confused.

"Biao'er, give these to your three dear ministers."

"Sons obey the order."

Zhu Biao came to Zhu Yuanzhang, divided the manuscript he had just written into three parts, and handed it over to Li Shanchang and the other two.

"The Cabinet, the Chief Secretary, and the Military Affairs Office."

"What is this?"

"Why have I never heard of it?"

Seeing the title on the rice paper, the three of them looked at each other in confusion.

Li Shanchang and Wu Lin are both well-read people.

Even Xu Da, who was born as a military general, was still very knowledgeable.

However, the names of the three institutions on rice paper were so they could not remember which dynasty appeared.

"Your dear, don't be surprised, please read it first."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a serious expression.

In these three manuscripts, the three-piece cabinet set that Fang Shiyu just mentioned.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang wants to consult the opinions of Li Shanchang and the other two.

"Awesome, it's really amazing."

After just reading it simply, Wu Lin couldn't help but exclaim first.

The first cabinet proposed by His Majesty in the manuscript was obviously prepared for these civil servants.

After the Hu Weiyong case, the power in their civil officials was getting smaller and smaller every day, and now they have almost become errands under Zhu Yuanzhang.

They had almost no right to participate in major events in the court.

I originally thought that their civil officials would have to run errands in the future, but I didn't expect that a cabinet would emerge and that my civil officials would have the right to participate in the court affairs in the future.

I was a little excited to think about it.

“Very good.”

Xu Da was also very satisfied.

Although the cabinet and the rank of the liexi supervisor seemed to be without any military generals, His Majesty specially set up a military office, which was obviously taking care of the emotions of these old brothers.

It seems that in His Majesty's heart, these old brothers who conquer the world with His Majesty are still under the head of those civil officials.

"It's really amazing."

As the minister who has been following Zhu Yuanzhang for the longest time and has made the most efforts, he is very clear about how powerful the current emperor wants.

So he voluntarily withdrew after being prime minister for a few years at the beginning of the country and recommended his student Hu Weiyong to succeed the throne.

But he didn't expect Hu Weiyong to commit suicide by himself.

He actually dared to do anything wrong in the position of the prime minister.

Not only did he accept bribes in private, he also bought and sold official positions, and indulged his relatives and friends to act recklessly and bully men and dominate women.

The stupidest thing is that he actually reached out to the army.

This has touched His Majesty's reverse scale.

Therefore, not only Hu Weiyong's family was sentenced to death by His Majesty, but also a large number of officials were implicated.

As Hu Weiyong's mentor and recommendation, Li Shanchang also left behind to thank guests during this period and was frightened all day long.

He was afraid that when he would wake up, he found that the Jinyiwei put a knife on his neck and wanted to search the house and exterminate the clan.

But he didn't expect that there was no way out, and His Majesty actually conceived the wonderful idea of ​​the cabinet.

The most fundamental reason why Hu Weiyong was killed was because he threatened His Majesty's power.

Now with the cabinet minister, the ritual supervisor, and the Military Affairs Office, the threats from court officials to the emperor have been completely eliminated.

He no longer has to live the worried days before.

"What do you think of this system? Can it be implemented immediately in my Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked at the three of them with a smile.

"Report to Your Majesty, I believe that the cabinet system is extremely exquisite. With the three yamen of the cabinet, the ritual supervisor and the Military Affairs Office, it is enough to ensure that our Ming Dynasty will be worry-free forever!"

"Weichen also believes that the cabinet system is seamless and can be implemented immediately."

Xu Da and Wu Lin also nodded and agreed.

"Okay, since all my beloved ministers agree with me, from today on, Wu Lin will resign from the position of Minister of Personnel and be changed to the chief minister of the cabinet, Li Shanchang as the second assistant, and Xu Da as the old master of the cabinet, and officially establish the cabinet."

"The Prince is temporarily appointed as the Chief of the People's Literary Bureau, and will be temporarily established when major events occur."

Since these three confidant officials believed that the cabinet system could be implemented, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately came up with the plan he had made before and traded with the prince.

According to Fang Xiaozi, cabinet members must resign from all official positions in the outer court to avoid collusion between inside and outside.

What's more, Wu Da's Minister of Personnel was known as the Heavenly Official and had a high position and a powerful position.

Therefore, Wu Da's Minister of Personnel must not be appointed as the Minister of Personnel.

Originally, Li Shanchang was the most suitable candidate for the prime minister.

It’s a pity that he has a high prestige among his ministers, so he can only retire to the position of second-level cabinet assistant.

The reason why Xu Da, a military general, also entered the cabinet was to balance the influence brought by Li Shanchang, and the second was that the Military Affairs Office was still established, so Xu Da's entry into the cabinet could prevent the civil officials from becoming the only one.

As for the vacant Minister of Personnel, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to take over Liu Bowen, who was recuperating in Zhejiang.

The Silijian should have been the director of the eunuch in charge of seals.

It’s a pity that the eunuchs in the palace were illiterate, so they needed to be re-selected and trained.

Zhu Yuanzhang had asked the prince to set up a Nei Shutang and prepared to train a group of small eunuchs to read and write.

One of them was about to be sent to the fourth son, and a little eunuch named Ma Sanbao, who was smart and smart, and could be called a craftsman.

Zhu Yuanzhang had changed Ma Sanbao's name to Zheng He and sent him to Neishutang to study.

In the future, the prince will only need to be responsible for checking whether the opinions given by the cabinet are feasible, and the heavy responsibility on his body will be greatly reduced.

It is also possible to let the prince take a little more rest so as not to get exhausted at a young age.

"The establishment of a cabinet also involves the matter of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of the statute of

"Let's talk about it after running for a while."

You should know that this idea was made by Boy Fang.

If it is known to everyone in the court and the public, the other party can immediately guess that he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. As for whether he will be scared to death or not, he doesn't know. He only knows that he will find it difficult to dig out useful things from the other party's mouth in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang still cherishes such talent who is beautiful in his heart!

"good……"

I am also a wise king who cares about talents.

"I will obey the order!"

Li Shanchang and others responded one after another.
Chapter completed!
