"By the way, the chief minister of the cabinet is the head of the cabinet."
Zhu Yuanzhang was afraid that the officials would not understand, so he explained to them aloud.
After saying this, he seemed to be in a good mood.
With some pride.
It's not surprising that he behaved like this. After all, the matter of who should be the chief minister of the cabinet was something he figured out after thinking hard and thought it was the thing that best suited his wishes.
Previously, Zhu Yuanzhang learned about the cabinet's ideas from Mei Yin, and he felt like he had found a treasure.
I just think this method is particularly good.
But there's also a bit of a downside.
That means the chief minister of the cabinet is not very good.
The chief minister of the cabinet has to exist. After all, no matter what the yamen is, there must be a leader.
But if it existed, it worried him.
I feel that no one is suitable to serve as the chief minister of the cabinet.
I am afraid that it is very likely that the chief minister of the cabinet will become the de facto prime minister in the future.
Therefore, in the future, he will fight for power with the emperor again.
Fortunately, after some thinking, he finally found a good solution.
This method is to let Prince Zhu Biao serve as the chief minister of the cabinet.
When it comes to whom Du Yuanzhang trusts the most.
Apart from his own girl, she is definitely his standard!
He felt that no matter how obedient and loyal other ministers were, they could never compare to his son.
So, after some thinking, he decided to adopt this method.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, all the ministers in Fengtian Palace were a little confused about what to say.
On the one hand, they confirmed once again that Zhu Yuanzhang was definitely thoughtful and scheming about this matter, and had been thinking about it for a long time!
Otherwise, such a good arrangement would never be possible.
On the other hand, I have a new understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang's trust in Prince Zhu Biao.
Looking at ancient and modern times, there is really no founding emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang who was completely unguarded against the prince and did not care at all about the excessive power in the hands of the prince. The father and son shared the same team.
Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely an outlier among them.
But Prince Zhu Biao was particularly filial.
There was never anything inappropriate.
This made many people envious of Zhu Yuanzhang.
This bitch's luck is really good.
Such a father and son are really rare.
When such thoughts arose in their hearts, many people secretly glanced at Song Lian.
There is no need to say anything else. Just being the Prince's teacher is enough for Song Lian to ensure that the glory and wealth will continue in the future.
This honor is really not something that ordinary people can have.
So many people are envious and regretful in their hearts, why is it that they are not the ones who become the Prince's teacher!
If the prince's teacher is himself, then according to the prince's kindness, his position will be stable.
In the future, there is absolutely no need to worry.
Even his descendants are not short of glory and wealth.
After Zhu Yuanzhang let everyone digest the news, he looked at everyone and said: "As for the specific members of the cabinet, we have not determined this matter yet.
Just pick from among you and a few other places! ”
After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, many people couldn't help but feel refreshed.
Although the emperor has made it clear now that the cabinet can only be a reference organization for making ideas.
It doesn't really have the power to make decisions.
Moreover, the grade of the cabinet is not high, only a mere fifth grade.
However, they all understand that this is a prestigious position.
As a close minister of the emperor, he is naturally taller than ordinary people.
In fact, some people have already thought about it further.
Even at this time, it seems that the cabinet can only give advice to the emperor.
Assist the emperor in handling government affairs and do nothing else.
However, with the development of time, future emperors will never be as diligent as Zhu Yuanzhang, nor will their level be as high as Zhu Yuanzhang.
At that time, the power of the cabinet will certainly be expanded.
This is a certain thing and there is no need to have any doubts.
That means that today's cabinet is actually still a piece of cake.
As a result, many people have become more honest.
Not to mention going against the emperor at this time.
The abolition of the Ministry of Education and the Prime Minister's affairs have now become a foregone conclusion.
If you can enter the cabinet, that is obviously a very good thing.
Moreover, who enters the cabinet and who does not enter the cabinet are all decided by the emperor.
The decision rests with the emperor.
Now the selection of the cabinet is yet to be decided.
The emperor did not announce it.
That means that many people still have a chance.
Under such circumstances, it was natural that he would not continue to oppose the emperor.
It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's carrot and stick skills are still very smooth.
If he had no means, he would just act recklessly.
It is absolutely impossible to have this status now.
It is absolutely impossible to sit on the throne.
It can only be said that there are no simple characters among those who were killed in troubled times.
Especially people like Zhu Yuanzhang, whose starting point cannot be lower.
Being able to sit in the high position today is not just a simple matter of good luck.
In other dynasties, this would definitely cause an uproar.
Now, under the operation of a powerful monarch like Zhu Yuanzhang, a conclusion was quickly reached.
Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one who could handle this matter so smoothly.
After approving this important matter, we talked about other things, so naturally there were no surprises.
Everything seemed smooth...
……
Two days later, Zhu Yuanzhang's official decree was announced to the whole country.
He talked about the abolition of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Education, as well as the formation of a cabinet.
At the same time, the appointment of cabinet candidates was also announced.
There are five cabinet ministers in total.
In addition, Prince Zhu Biao is the chief minister of the cabinet.
These cabinet ministers are also carefully selected.
Have the ability and experience in local governance.
What Zhu Yuanzhang likes most are those officials who are capable and able to do things.
He doesn't like those showy people who can only talk and talk.
It is not surprising at all to elect such a person to the cabinet.
It has taken three years since Zhu Yuanzhang started to cut off the local Xingzhongshu Province before this, and to now abolish the prime minister system and the Zhongshu Province.
Only then was this major organizational adjustment completed.
This shows the great resistance to this matter.
Even an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to complete this matter so easily if he did not have the right opportunity.
Moving forward in time, Li Jinglong is flying all the way towards Mei Yin in Shuangshui Village...
"Second uncle! It's not good! It's not good, second uncle!" Li Jinglong ran towards Mei Yin.
As soon as he came to Mei Yin, he lowered his voice and said these words to Mei Yin. His voice seemed urgent and worried.
"What's wrong Jinglong?"
Mei Yin's heart moved, and she already knew what was going on.
But it was hard to talk about it, so he pretended not to know and looked at Li Jinglong to ask.
Li Jinglong said: "Second uncle, from the capital, suddenly there were some changes.
The capital has been blocked!
It looked like... something big had happened.
It has been many years since the capital has done anything like this.
If something like this suddenly happens now, there must be something extremely unusual happening!
There shouldn't be any big enemy that is about to attack the capital.
Now there is no one, no force, who has the ability to threaten the capital and make my father react like this.
Now your Majesty, the Prince and the Queen are not in the capital.
Obviously, someone took the opportunity to cause trouble and wanted to do something!
Second uncle, what should we do here?
Do you want to ignite our troops here and hurry up? ! ”
Li Jinglong spoke quickly, looking at Mei Yin as he spoke.
There was some nervousness in his voice.
Mei Yin was somewhat surprised when he heard what Li Jinglong said.
Li Jinglong is okay now, but he has thought so much!
Thinking this, he shook his head.
"It still doesn't work, Jinglong, we have too few soldiers and horses here, how useful can they be?
Moreover, it’s not like you don’t know how capable your Majesty is and how capable your father is.
We don't need to worry at all.
No matter who caused the rebellion, no matter what happened, they would definitely not end well.
It will be solved by His Majesty and your father!
With the power of destroying dryness and decay, it makes it comfortable and peaceful.
There is absolutely no way to make waves!
Don't worry, nothing will happen. It won't take long and things will be normal. ”
Hearing what Mei Yin said and seeing Mei Yin's condition, Li Jinglong, who was originally very worried, also became calmer after thinking about it carefully.
I feel that what my second uncle said is right.
He naturally knows how capable His Majesty is and how capable his father is.
In this case, it seems that there is really no need to worry more.
At that moment, he stopped mentioning the matter of King Bingqin.
However, I think so in my heart, but I am still a little worried...
The next day, Li Jinglong trotted over again.
"Second uncle, I know what's going on!
It's this bitch Hu Weiyong who wants to rebel while His Majesty and the others are away!
We are also planning to bring in the people from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to do this together.
It has been leveled by my father!
Your Majesty also gave peace to the rebels!
Second uncle is really a god!
Even these can be thought of and expected! ”
Li Jinglong looked at Mei Yin and couldn't help praising her.
He became more and more respectful towards his second uncle.
Mei Yin smiled when he heard this, how could he tell what he was doing?
This is purely because he is a time traveler and knows where things are going.
Many people in later generations knew about Hu Weiyong's rebellion.
Not to mention him, someone who has some knowledge of the history of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, Hu Weiyong was the last prime minister in the entire history of China, and he didn't even want to be famous.
"I'm not that far-sighted."
Mei Yin said with a smile.
Just know that with the abilities of His Majesty and the eldest cousin, it is impossible for anyone to make some waves in their hands. ”
Li Jinglong felt that his second uncle was right.
And for myself, I have some doubts about my father's ability. My confidence in my father is not as high as my second uncle's, and I feel a little ashamed.
So, a few days later, Li Jinglong ran over again quickly.
"Second uncle! Second uncle! Good news, great news!
Mei Meisi...Mei Sizu, this bitch, is actually in the same group as Hu Weiyong.
Your Majesty then sent someone to arrest him. This bitch committed suicide out of fear of crime, and now he is gone!
Your Majesty, his house was ransacked again!
Kill his clan! ”
Li Jinglong seemed to be in a particularly good mood.
After all, he knew very well the grudge between Mei Sizu and his second uncle.
He had long disliked Mei Sizu.
Now this bitch is so bold and dares to participate in such things.
Being solved by His Majesty in one fell swoop, he naturally felt very happy.
A dog like Mei Sizu should have died long ago!
When Mei Yin heard this, a smile appeared on her face.
Although he had already known before that Mei Sizu would definitely die this time.
I will definitely be involved in this matter.
But at this time, the accurate news came, and he couldn't help but secretly breath a sigh of relief.
A stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
Now, the person with whom he had a lot of hatred was gone, and he no longer had to worry that he would use some sinister means in the future to target his wife, his daughter and other people close to him.
"Haha, this bitch deserves to die!
To be so rebellious and participate in rebellion-type things is really boring! ”
Mei Yin gave his evaluation and did not hide his joy after learning about Mei Sizu's death.
Li Jinglong nodded vigorously: "Who says it's not?
This bitch, I really don’t know what’s going on in his head! ”
As he said this, he suddenly remembered something.
"Haha, fortunately, second uncle, you have already severed ties with them.
That bitch even took the initiative to drive his second uncle out of the Mei family.
Otherwise, you can't say anything about your second uncle now, and they will be implicated.
All I can say is that this piece of shit has done a good thing! ”
Mei Yin also smiled: "Who says it's not?"
After receiving such good news, Mei Yin quickly calmed down and went to work on the steam engine.
For him, the death of this bitch Mei Sizu was certainly a happy thing.
However, it can only make him happy for a short time.
He already knew that Mei Sizu was going to die, but now it was just that the accurate news came.
Therefore, there is no need to waste too much time and emotion on a dead person.
Mei Yin soon arrived at the factory in Shuangshui Village.
Ding Ding started doing something.
After being so busy, it took about an hour to install the last part.
After checking, it was confirmed to be correct.
Just start adding water and coal and start burning.
He couldn't help but feel excited and filled with anticipation.
He was even more excited than when he heard the news of Mei Sizu's death.
After all, what he was playing with at this time was the Ming Dynasty's first steam engine!
You’ll know right away whether it works or not!
