Chapter 356: Forcing the Palace (2)
"It's nonsense! Zhou Jing, do you think that you will not be able to handle the government affairs if a group of your party members go on strike? Let me tell you, there are plenty of talents in the world. I will immediately appoint Baoshang as an advising doctor and continue to preside over government affairs. You can leave Beijing Already!" Ming Gong did not intend to give in at all, but ordered Bao Shangdao loudly.

"Your Majesty, are you going to remove your position as a minister?" Zhou Jing suddenly panicked.

"Nonsense, don't I know you guys are rebels? You are spreading rumors and attacking others in private. Cheng Rong is just following the will of the widow. Everything he said is ordered by the widow. Do you still dare to be so disobedient? Step back quickly." Don't talk too much!" Mingong glared at Zhou Jing, his sharp eyes made Zhou Jing shudder.

"Your Majesty, it must not be done. Now that once Lord Zhou Jing resigns, no one will accept the memorials presented by the local government. In a few days, there will be chaos. Besides, more than half of the courtiers will ask for leave. If things go on like this, the general will No country." At this time, Wu Jin beside Zhou Jing hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Since you are all sick and leave the court, then the widow will find someone who is not sick, so don't talk about it!" Ming Gong put his hands behind his back, and the agate jewelry he held in his hand made a clank.

On the third day, the daily affairs of the government were handled by Bao Shang, Cheng Rong, Lu Kai and others, and there was no interruption. The princes who stopped the court, Zhou Jing, Wu Jin and others panicked. He also heard that the general guarding the frontier, Du Tu, was about to lead his troops into King Jingqin. Without saying a word, Zhou Jing and the others rushed to plead guilty.

In the Hall of Shuilong Shuren, the domineering Ming Gong immediately issued an order to remove Zhou Jing from his official position as an admonishing doctor, never to use it again, and to investigate local cliques. A new institution was added, called Shuilong Shurendian Cabinet Minister, and Lu Kai was abolished as Prime Minister. Instead, Cheng Rong, Baoshang, Lu Kai, Fang Ru, Zhang Kui and others were called cabinet ministers in parallel. The emperor's order, send and receive will, the power is like a prime minister.

"My lord, I heard that there have been changes in the previous court. Yesterday, the king abolished the position of prime minister, set up a special cabinet in the palace, and appointed five cabinet ministers. In the future, I'm afraid All the power in the court is concentrated in the hands of the king alone, and no one dares to compete with the king." In the quiet Jianjia Palace, Baosi was doing her makeup in front of the mirror early in the morning, and Axi beside her was combing her hair, On the one hand, he quietly mentioned the matter of the previous dynasty.

"Well, Ah Xi, the king has finally got his wish. For so many years, the king has been losing power. He worked hard to rule, eliminated his relatives, overthrew important ministers, and now firmly holds the power of the entire Zhou Dynasty in his hands." Bao Si A smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, then once the previous court is over, the king will definitely consider never having a crown prince. Is that concubine Jiang in the harem useless?" Ah Xie said happily.

"It's hard to say, Axi, Concubine Jiang can still use the clan of the Great Zhou Dynasty to make a fuss. Besides, it's not a good thing for the king to hold all the power in his own hands. The heavy government affairs all depend on the king alone. Decisions, people, it is inevitable that there will be a thousand mistakes, and the emperor is the same." Bao Si suddenly said unhappily.

"Si'er, the widow has finally done a major event in the morning court today. The widow has decided that there will be no crown prince in this dynasty. When our little prince is born, the widow will secretly make a decree to pass on the throne to him. No one dares to raise objections in the imperial court or in the harem, and our lives will be much more comfortable in the future." At this moment, there was a sound of rings and tassels outside the house, and Ming Gong, the emperor of Zhou, had happily stepped over the threshold and walked to the door. In front of Bao Si, he said happily.
