Chapter 44
Seeing that Hu Weiyong was stunned by the roar, the a little madness on his face due to drinking also disappeared without a trace because of this roar.Li Shanchang calmed down his anger, took a deep breath, and said leisurely:

"The superior position started at the end of the day, I watched him walk all the way, I know him too well."

"The superiors never aim at nothing. Everything they do has a purpose. But recently, he has come up with strange tricks."

"Let's talk about the Northern Expedition. Before the battle reports from the past are sent, are you sure that the main force of the Northern Expedition army is still there, and even the West Road has broken through Gansu and won a complete victory?"

Hu Weiyong shook his head numbly.

"But the superior... is sure. He wrote a letter to Fu Youde of the West Route Army in advance, and dispatched soldiers to transport food to meet the main force of the Central Route Army outside the Great Wall. He was even sure that the East Route Army would not be in danger of being destroyed. Finally, although General Li Wenzhong lost troops, the Eastern Route Army did escape the encirclement safely."

"This..." Hu Weiyong was stunned. "Isn't this a prophet?"

"Before the high position, although it was considered elusive. But, I have never felt so unpredictable!" Li Shanchang shook his head. "He is so determined to destroy the Jianzhou Jurchen, there is only one possibility, that is, he learned about the Jianzhou Jurchen from somewhere, and it will become my confidant's trouble in the future!"

"But even so, there is no need to create a cabinet... Weiyong, can you guess what the superior wants?"

"Could it be that because he was too concerned about the Liaodong war situation, he temporarily..." Hu Weiyong thought for a long time before he remembered the purpose of setting up a cabinet with himself as a replacement left minister.

At that time, I was overwhelmed by the good news, so I didn't think much about this trivial matter, and on the spot, as the new prime minister, ordered the six yamen to select candidates...

"Confused!" Li Shanchang patted the armrest of the Grand Master's chair. "If you just care about the battle situation, you can order the battle report to go straight to the center without having to report it. Why do you need to add another thing to the whole cabinet?"

"The key point of this decree is in the second half of the 'The title of the cabinet walker is given to the cabinet. There is no rank or position. The official department does not have to ask. It is set by the emperor'. Do you understand!"

Hu Weiyong was by no means mediocre, he thought about it for a while, and was stunned on the spot.

"Master, what do you mean..."

"You and I know that since the success of the northward drive to Mengyuan, the superiors have always had the heart of waste."

"It's just because the prime minister is an ancient system, and if it is abolished, the government and the public will be shaken. And there are so many affairs in the country that you can't live without the prime minister."

"But with this cabinet, the cabinet will directly report to the emperor, and the emperor will personally appoint him. This is a real close minister of the emperor!"

"And all the power of the cabinet comes from the emperor. The emperor can be established as soon as he wants to be established, and he can be abolished as soon as he wants to be abolished. Today he can have power in the government, and tomorrow he will not be as good as a small official."

"Throughout the ages, the reason why the prime minister has been able to hold the leader of the imperial court and hold the most important power in the world is precisely because he represents all the officials. Even the emperor should be afraid of the prime minister."

"But with a cabinet, does the emperor still need to fear the prime minister?"

The most fundamental reason why the emperor was afraid of the prime minister was that without the prime minister, there would be no one to help him govern the country.No one can help the emperor decide everything in this world.

The six departments are only for doing things, and the emperor and the prime minister are the ones who make decisions.Without the help of the prime minister, how can the emperor manage this huge country by himself?

But now, the cabinet has emerged.

This is an organizational structure that breaks the promotion of officials governing the country.The appointment of cabinet ministers is at the emperor's will.

The emperor can win over a group of his own cabinet ministers and fight against the prime minister. He is no longer afraid of problems that cannot be managed, and by the way, it also solves the contradictions and disputes between the imperial power and the prime minister.

Completely received the power under his own subordinates.

And all of this was done unconsciously.Among the hundreds of officials in the court, none of them cared about the purpose of setting up a cabinet.

Even this decree was ordered by Hu Weiyong, the new prime minister, to step up cooperation with the six ministries...

As long as the cabinet is established, its growth will be unstoppable!

Until, the power of the prime minister is endangered!
For a moment, Hu Weiyong was on his back like a light!

In the study, fell into a long silence.After a long time, Li Shanchang opened his mouth and sighed to Hu Weiyong who was in a cold sweat:

"Weiyong, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger."

"The majesty of the upper rank is unpredictable... You must be careful in the future..."

With that said, he bent his body and left the study.

Hu Weiyong was left alone, staring blankly at the ceiling above his head.

"Your Majesty's wrist...is so unpredictable!"

"No, it's not right. Although His Majesty was shrewd before, it's more than that."

"It was only recently that he suddenly..."

"Could it be that there is another expert behind His Majesty?"

The more Hu Weiyong, who consciously sees through the fog, thinks about it, the more certain he is in his judgment.

He decided that the expert behind His Majesty must be dug out.

……

But in the palace, Zhu Su has not been to Dahontang for several days.Early this morning, a servant came to Xuanzhi and asked him to move to the Prince's residence outside the palace in a few days.

Lao Zhu made a special excuse for not needing to go to the main hall because he was so special. It seemed that what he claimed was that he blasphemed the saints, disrespected the teacher, was ignorant and disobedient to discipline, so he was expelled from the palace. His elder brother's prince Zhu Biao replaced Lao Zhu, who was busy with government affairs, to discipline him.

Now that Zhu Su was walking in the palace, he could vaguely feel the palace people pointing and pointing.They all regarded him as a prince who had lost the favor of the emperor and had a worrisome future.Rumors are endless.

Zhu Su himself doesn't care, as long as he can lie flat anyway.He wrote the language at that time in order to achieve the goal of being given up by Lao Zhu.It's a pity that the nonsense was ineffective, and in the end he had to take the risk and show his identity as a traverser.

On the night when the imperial decree was delivered tomorrow, he had just laid down when he heard a strange noise coming from the window.He casually picked up a piece of candlestick for self-defense, and pushed open the window, only to see Zhu Laosi squatting under the window at this moment, and made a "shh~" gesture to him.

"Fourth brother, what are you doing? I almost became Runtu once." Zhu Su raised the sharp candlestick in his hand.Zhu Di was wearing a black robe, curled up under the window, under the moonlight, he really looked like a sneaky bird stealing melons.

"Runtu? What's that?" Zhu Di stood up and climbed in directly from the window. "Don't bother, let me in first. Damn Mrs. Li left a lot of homework, and there will be a curfew in the palace after finishing it..."

Naturally, there is a curfew in the palace.After the curfew, even the prince is not allowed to move around at will.However, the small courtyards of their brothers are connected together, as long as they can climb over the wall, they don't have to be afraid of being caught by the guards.

This guy threw away his black robe when he entered the room, and without hesitation got into Zhu Su's newly warmed bed, and sighed comfortably: "It's really warm. It should be summer, but at night , it can be so cold..."

"What do you want from me?" Zhu Su rolled his eyes, pushed Zhu Di in, and then got into the bed himself. The two brothers sat on the bed and talked in a low voice.

"Of course I have something to do! You will leave the palace tomorrow, but I still have many things to ask you!" The eyes of 12-year-old Zhu Di showed great curiosity.

"Are you really, what kind of time traveler?"

"Still retain the memory from the previous life, from more than 600 years later?"
