Prince of Chaos

On the second day, Ciqing Palace.

After Zhu Changluo returned to the Forbidden City again, the guards and eunuchs in the Forbidden City, as well as the members of Zhongshu She who went to and from Ciqing Palace and the cabinet, seemed to be more in awe of Zhu Changluo.

It seems that Zhu Changluo has become the supreme supreme of Ming Dynasty at this moment.

For such a change, Zhu Changluo is also well aware.

This is all because Emperor Wanli wanted to hold a ceremony of supervising the country for him and the result after he performed martial arts in Ji County.

"Sun Xian, go to the cabinet to deliver an order to ask Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping to come to Ciqing Palace. You just want to discuss with them the matter of cabinet recruitment."

After returning from Jixian County this time, Zhu Changluo decided to take advantage of the remaining prestige of performing martial arts to determine the world in one fell swoop and completely control the cabinet.

After Sun Xian heard Zhu Changluo's order, he immediately went to the cabinet in person.

Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping saw Sun Xian coming to the cabinet in person, and they stood up to greet him at the same time.

"Hello, Eunuch Sun."

In their eyes, Sun Siam's status is much higher than that of Wei Zhongxian who usually comes to announce the decree.

Sun Xian is an old man who is the supervisor of ceremonies, and he is also the admiral of the East Factory. In terms of status, he can be regarded as one of the inner ministers.

Therefore, when Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping see Sun Siam, they will still treat Sun Siam with relative courtesy, and will not pick their noses and eyes and eyes when they see eunuchs in some TV dramas, pointing at them and scolding eunuchs dog's.

There will still be politeness and tolerance between them.

After all, an eunuch of Sun Xian's level is definitely not something that ordinary officials can insult.

Sun Xian bent down and said with a smile: "The two senior elders have ruined our family. Our family can't afford such a big gift from you two."

Wang Xijue said: "Eunuch Sun was joking. Eunuch Sun has served the Emperor and His Highness for many years, and he is also a hard-working old man in the palace. We have always admired Eunuch Sun."

Sun Xian said with a smile: "The first assistant is also an old man who has served the emperor and His Highness for many years. The affairs of the court have always been safe because of the support of the first assistant and the elder Wangge. This credit is not comparable to our family. .”

The two sides boasted about each other's business, as if they had been friends for many years.

Sun Xian said: "His Royal Highness announces that the two elders are going to Ciqing Palace now, and you two can go with our house."

Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping replied, "Eunuch Sun will lead the way."

The three walked and chatted.

Wang Xijue asked: "Eunuch Sun, why did His Highness summon us this time?"

Sun Xian's mouth was tight, and he smiled and said, "How can a servant in our family know what His Highness is thinking? He will naturally know when the chief assistant arrives."

As soon as Wang Xijue heard this, he knew that he couldn't ask anything, but he could tell from this sentence that this matter must not be a trivial matter.

However, looking at Sun Xian seemed to be in a good mood. From this, it can be seen that the crown prince should also be in a very good mood at the moment, so there is no such thing as a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Wang Xijue felt relieved, and quietly followed Sun Xian to Ciqing Palace.

After arriving at Ciqing Palace, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping bowed to Zhu Changluo.

Zhu Changluo looked as usual, "You two gentlemen don't need to be too polite. This time I called you here alone because of the cabinet's affairs."

When Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping heard that Zhu Changluo mentioned the cabinet, they couldn't help but pause in their hearts. What could happen?
The two listened quietly to what Zhu Changluo said.

Zhu Changluo continued: "Since Mr. Shen resigned, the cabinet left the two gentlemen alone to support state affairs. I am deeply ashamed of this. The affairs of the DPRK and China are complicated, and the two gentlemen are also over sixty years old. I can't bear to be lonely. , so I decided to replace the two cabinet members and assist the two gentlemen in handling state affairs."

After Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping heard this sentence, their hearts skipped a beat. Although they both knew that this day would come, they didn't expect it to come so soon.

Moreover, it seems that the crown prince does not plan to hold a court push to decide the cabinet members now.

Wang Xijue immediately bowed and said: "I thank Your Highness for your kindness. The state affairs are heavy, and I am indeed a little powerless. I have always thought that Your Highness can join the cabinet as early as possible to participate in political affairs."

After Wang Jiaping heard what Wang Xijue said, he also hurriedly followed behind and expressed his support for the crown prince's addition to the cabinet.

Zhu Changluo was also satisfied seeing the two of them being so sensible.

So Zhu Changluo said, "Do you two gentlemen have any recommendations?"

After Wang Xijue heard this, he was not surprised, but broke out in sweat.

This is a proposition!Wang Xijue finally made it through to become the head of the cabinet, and he didn't want to arouse the disgust of the crown prince so soon.

Wang Xijue immediately said: "The cabinet is a big matter, His Highness has his own holy judgment, and I dare not comment."

After listening to Wang Xijue's words, Zhu Changluo smiled and looked at Wang Jiaping again.

Wang Jiaping suddenly felt terrified. He choked back the words that were on his lips.

Wang Jiaping said: "The minister is dull and has no objection."

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, since the two gentlemen are so modest, let's just talk about it."

Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping immediately strained their ears and listened intently, to see which lucky one fell into the eyes of the crown prince.

Zhu Changluo talked eloquently: "Since the Hu rebellion case in Taizu Hongwu's reign, the country has ceased to be a minister. However, everything in the court is complicated, and the successor does not have the great strategy of Taizu. It has been 200 years since the cabinet was set up to assist the state affairs. Over the past 200 years, all the cabinet ministers in the cabinet have been good ministers who have devoted themselves to serving the emperor, and this has stabilized our Ming Dynasty. It can be said that the Ming Dynasty can have today, and the cabinet has made great contributions!"

"Since I was ordered by my father to supervise the country, I was afraid that my virtue would be too heavy and I would be embarrassed. Fortunately, since I was in the country of Gu Jian, there are also gentlemen from the cabinet who have given their full support. Therefore, Gu also deeply feels the importance of the cabinet, which is comparable to Mount Tai."

"It's unbearable for the two gentlemen to bear such a heavy responsibility. Therefore, Gu decided to choose his virtuous ministers to fill the cabinet, enrich the central government, and handle the government affairs."

"Gu heard that there is no one who is virtuous and capable in the court except for the two gentlemen, Er Shen. These two are both virtuous and capable ministers at the moment. If Er Shen can be brought into the cabinet, I believe that the cabinet will be more efficient. It can further clarify the atmosphere of the government and the opposition. What do you two gentlemen think?"

After Zhu Changluo finished speaking, he looked at Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping and asked. Hearing Zhu Changluo's words, the two of them also felt great waves in their hearts.

They didn't expect the crown prince to have such a high opinion of the cabinet. While they were moved, they also felt extremely honored!

However, when they heard about Er Shen, they felt a great sense of crisis again.

Because, Er Shen is no ordinary person.

These two Shen obviously refer to Shen Yiguan and Shen Li.

Their prestige among the ruling and opposition parties is not comparable to that of ordinary ministers.

Especially Shen Yiguan, who is backed by a huge group of Zhejiang officials, who are extremely capable of forming a group.

Once this person enters the cabinet, he will definitely not be willing to be inferior to others.

There is also Shen Li, Shen Li is not such a modest and gentlemanly character on the surface.

This man is ruthless, and he is also a good hand.

It is said that before Shen Li came to Beijing, for some reason, he killed his old servant who had served him for decades.

With this ruthlessness, neither Wang Xijue nor Wang Jiaping can catch up.

It can be seen from this that the second sinking that the crown prince wants to make up for is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

It seems that the next days will be the time to really test the cabinet.

Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping looked at each other rarely, with an inexplicable sigh in their eyes.

However, the crown prince had to answer the question.

Therefore, both Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping replied: "Your Highness is wise, Er Shen is indeed a minister of virtue and ability for a while. Since the two of them enter the cabinet, the atmosphere of the court will definitely be boosted!"

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, since that's the case, then it's decided. After the second Shen entered the cabinet, Shen Li was ranked third in Wenyuan Pavilion, and Shen Yiguan was ranked fourth in Dong Pavilion."

Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping said: "I obey the order."

Then Zhu Changluo said again: "Tomorrow, the solitary meeting will invent a decree to officially promote Mr. Zhongji Temple to lead the first assistant. Mr. Wang will be promoted to the Jianji Temple Grand Bachelor and be the second assistant. I hope that the two gentlemen can continue to lead the group as always. The minister assists Gu to complete the great task of supervising the country."

Wang Xijue said excitedly: "I thank Your Highness Long En, I will definitely do my best to assist Your Highness, and rejuvenate Daming!"

The position of chief assistant was finally obtained, and Wang Xijue was so excited that he burst into tears.

At this moment, he finally didn't wait in vain.

Wang Jiaping also knelt down to thank him at the same time. He was also very excited, but at the same time he was also a little bit disappointed.Because Wang Xijue has been officially promoted to the University of Zhongji Temple, and it seems that he will not be able to leave for a while.

I may have to stay up for a while before I can hope to take over as the chief assistant.

Thinking of this, Wang Jiaping couldn't help feeling unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

Because, this is not something he can decide.

The only ones who can decide this matter are the emperor and the crown prince!

----------------

Ask for a full order, ask for a reward, ask for a monthly pass.

The arrangement of the cabinet has come to an end for the time being, and the next step is to continue the integration of power, and then start the era that belongs to Zhu Changluo!
