I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 44
Outside the Fengtian Hall, the autumn sun hangs high in the sky, and the Great Court Meeting, which lasted for a whole morning, finally came to an end, and all the civil and military officials hurriedly left with their hungry bellies.

In the Fengtian Hall, Huang Zhun, Director of the Household Reform Bureau, Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han, Zhu Gaosui, King of Zhao, and six ministers and cabinet bachelors were left in the hall by Li Tian for discussion.

Leaning comfortably on the dragon chair, and asking the little eunuch to give all the important officials seats, Li Tian narrowed his eyes:
"Do you know why I didn't execute Liu Qing and the two of you?"

The atmosphere of this small court meeting is much more relaxed than that of the court meeting, and the ministers are not so restrained. Jin Youde, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, bowed his hands and said flatteringly:
"But His Majesty's ascension to the throne and change of Yuan, has given priority to gratitude, and can't bear to see bloody things?"

Li Tian chuckled, ordered the little eunuch to pass some snacks to the Imperial Food Supervisor, shook his head and said:
"You are all the humerus of the court, the pillars of the country, there is no need to say such polite words, the reason why I don't kill Liu Qing and the two is very simple.

Although the two of them committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, the root cause is not on them. If the government system is not changed, it will be useless even if I kill ten more capital censors. "

Seeing the emperor being so straightforward, all the important ministers laughed embarrassingly, Jin Youde showed embarrassment, cupped his hands and said:
"However, there are three divisions and six divisions in the court, and the three courts and nine temples are the ancestral law established by the great ancestor. If your majesty changes it rashly, I am afraid that there will be criticism in the court."

What Jin Youde, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice said, was exactly what the other ministers were worried about. A slight change in the temple would be a huge change for all people in the world, let alone a change in the official system in the court.

But Huang Zhun, who has already tasted the sweetness of the reform, doesn't think so. He stood up and looked at Jin Youde and said:

"Jin Shangshu's words are wrong. Although the law of the ancestors is easy and irreversible. But, this time and that time.

At that time, the situation in the world was turbulent, and Jin Yiwei was naturally needed to monitor the world, but at this time, the world was well-organized and people were harmonious, and having a privileged yamen like Jin Yiwei would only encourage its arrogance and corruption. "

As a member of the civil service group, Jin Youde naturally couldn't refute Huang Zhun's statement about Jinyiwei.

But what Jin Youde was worried about was that under the big change, the interests of some people would be touched. If the big change caused the government to be in turmoil, then the loss would not be worth the gain.

After pondering for a while, Jin Youde bowed his hands and returned the salute:
"Director Huang misunderstood this official. This official is not opposed to reform, but since ancient times, any great change will lead to great chaos.

It would be fine if the reforms were successful under the chaos, but if something goes wrong, I really can't imagine what will happen. "

Seeing Huang Zhun and Jin Youde bickering, Li Tian was secretly surprised.

It has only been three days since the reform of household registration, has conservatives and reformers already appeared in the DPRK and China?

Keeping the reactions of other important ministers in mind, Li Tian coughed twice and interrupted:
"Jin Shangshu's concern is reasonable and I can understand it, but the reform is not a short-term achievement, and it needs to be discussed in the long run. The two lovers don't have to argue endlessly now."

When the emperor spoke, the two ministers naturally had nothing to argue about. They cupped their hands and apologized, and hurriedly turned around and sat down.

Seeing this, Li Tian nodded slightly, looked at Zhu Gaoxu who was sitting upright, and said with a smile:
"Gao Xu, I want to temporarily hand over Jin Yiwei to your jurisdiction, are you willing?"

After the Zhengyangmen incident happened, Zhu Gaoxu could no longer think about the emperor's throne, but when Li Tian suddenly called his name, he shivered subconsciously, and said with a look of panic:

"Your Majesty, why did you say that? I have no intention of disobedience."

Although Li Yun didn't understand why Zhu Gaoxu was acting like a fool this morning, dragging his guards to practice outside the Zhengyang Gate, Li Tian was still very satisfied with Zhu Gaoxu's current reaction, and said with a happy face:
"Gao Xu, why are you nervous? I'm just asking you for my brother, and I don't want to chop off your head."

Beheading?

Zhu Gaoxu's body trembled, his own brother really remembered his grudge, he hurriedly bowed down and bowed:
"Your Majesty, my younger brother is willing to resign from the position of the governor of the army and horses of the world. After the funeral of the late emperor, my younger brother will go out immediately."

Seeing that the usually domineering King of Han was so terrified, all the ministers showed strange expressions, only Yang Shiqi smiled secretly, stood up with his hands together and said:
"His Royal Highness the King of Han is willing to go out with the vassal, because he really understands the righteousness. Your Majesty, since His Highness the King of Han does not want to rule over Jin Yiwei, don't force others to make things difficult."

The governor of soldiers and horses has always been a thorn in Li Tian's heart. Seeing Zhu Gaoxu's resignation so knowledgeably, Li Tian felt more at ease.

However, it was not his whim to let Zhu Gaoxu take charge of Jinyiwei. He personally lifted Zhu Gaoxu from the ground, and Li Tianyu said earnestly:
"Brother, I naturally know that you, Gao Xu, have a lot of loyalty, but the reform in the court is imminent, and there is a shortage of talents. My view is that the court will be full, and only you, Gao Xu, can take on this important task."

Zhu Gaoxu always thought that Li Tian was testing him before, but seeing that Li Tian's demeanor did not seem to be fake, Zhu Gaoxu was also confused and couldn't figure out why.

Even if Jin Yiwei withdraws from Nanbei Town Fusi, he still has the right to arrest him. Zhu Gaoxu doesn't believe that such an important yamen Li Tian will be handed over to him.

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxu remained silent, Li Tian didn't bother to persuade him anymore, and said without any refusal:
"According to my decree, the King of Han will be crowned as the crown prince and Taibao, and the commander-in-chief of the Jinyiwei will be rewarded with another [-] yuan."

Although Yang Shiqi didn't understand why the emperor did this, he still got up and responded:

"After the court meeting ended, the old minister asked the cabinet to draw up an order immediately. However, Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Han is still in charge of the four guards of Longxiang. If the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyiwei is added, the old minister is worried that His Highness the King of Han will be at a loss."

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes shrank when he heard this, and he was very angry in his heart. He was waiting for him here.

The governor of soldiers and horses plus Longxiang's four guards was exchanged for a brocade guard who was cut in half. The dog emperor had a deep plan.

But on the bright side, Zhu Gaoxu made a gesture of approval, nodded repeatedly and said:
"Yang Shoufu is right. Your Majesty, my younger brother should not rule over Jinyiwei."

"It's okay." Li Tian waved his hand, interrupted Zhu Gaoxu, and said proudly:

"Longxiang's Four Guards will send another person, but only the King of Han can take on the position of Jinyiwei."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't expect that Li Tian would not give him a chance to turn around at all, he was silent for a long time, and sighed deeply:
"Your brother respectfully obeys the emperor's orders."

Signaling Zhu Gaoxu to return to his seat, Li Tian didn't forget about Zhu Gaoxu, and thought for a while and said:
"Gao Sui, the queen just finished counting the imperial property for me two days ago. I heard that you are quite capable of doing business. I will entrust you with my imperial property from now on, okay?"

Zhu Gaosui's face twitched, business is lowly, Li Tian praised him so openly for his ability to do business, isn't this a blatant slap in the face of him.

However, Zhu Gaoxu has already been pulled from the bottom of the pot and turned into the commander of Jinyiwei. He doesn't even have the right to refuse. Zhu Gaoxuan dared not offend Li Tian again, stood up and bowed his head and said:
"Brother Chengen trusts me, and I will do my best to take care of the royal property in the palace for my brother."
