Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 43 The Beginning of Change
Old Zhu asked Zhu Su about the details of the continent where the "God Seed" was located. Zhu Su didn't know much about America in this era, so he quickly passed on what he knew.At the same time, he told Lao Zhu that in addition to obtaining the "God Seed" by going to sea, he could also use the Maritime Silk Road to dump Ming's silk, porcelain and other things to the West for huge profits.

But Lao Zhu lacked interest in it.Xu didn't believe it, or it might be because in his heart, farming is far more important than mere business.He only thought about forming a fleet and looking for the "God Seed" with all his heart.

Seeing this, Zhu Su didn't say much.Anyway, his purpose is to guide Lao Zhu to turn his attention to the sea, and stop imitating the ancestral motto of "no piece of board should go into the sea".

As long as a fleet returns from sea in the future, Lao Zhu will know the benefits of maritime trade sooner or later.

Unknowingly, it was time to eat, and a report came from outside, saying that Empress Ma urged Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu to go to have lunch.Lao Zhu ordered Zhu Biao to carefully put away the four pieces of Xuan paper "Kun Yu Wan Guo Tu" and was about to leave Zhu Su's small courtyard.This time he came here, he gained a lot, and he needed to clear his thoughts in order to determine the next big policy of the court.

"Father, don't forget what you promised me!" Zhu Su hurriedly told him.

"I see, I see." Lao Zhu waved his hand.Before leaving, he did not forget to complain to Zhu Su: "I don't know how to learn!"

After Lao Zhu left with a group of people, Zhu Su couldn't help clenching his fist excitedly.

I finally got my father's approval, so I don't have to go to Dahondo anymore!

My own comfortable life, finally...finally...

"Xiangdeng, Xiangdeng!" He pushed open the door triumphantly and shouted loudly.

"Hey, hey, Your Highness, we are here!" Xiang Deng came in stooping. "What orders does Your Highness have?"

"Go, go to the imperial dining room and get some chicken wings for His Highness!"

"My Highness won't go to Dabentang this afternoon! Just eat roast chicken in this yard!"

"It still tastes delicious! Tsk tsk."

……

That night, the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince Zhu Biao had a secret talk all night, and the courtiers talked a lot.A few days later, the emperor's decree spread from the palace, ordering Prime Minister Wang Guangyang to move to Guangdong to participate in politics, and Haiyuan to move to Fujian to participate in politics.Hu Weiyong replaced Wang Guangyang as Prime Minister Zuo.The ruling and opposition parties were shaken, and there were many discussions.

After Yang Xian, Qingliu suffered another major blow.Numerous speech officials have written to directly state their interests, saying that Hu Weiyong is the prime minister, and Huaixi nobles, military and government are all in the hands, and it may be difficult to suppress it.Now that the world has been preliminarily determined, it is the time when the swords and guns are put into storage and the horses are released in Nanshan. It is really inappropriate to rely too much on Huaixi nobles.

Even Liu Bowen, the sincerity uncle, also veiledly advised Zhu Yuanzhang, saying that Hu Weiyong "little calf ears will smash the plow and break the plow."

It means that this is a proud little calf.Let him plow the land, and I am afraid that the plow will be broken by him.

In this uproar between the government and the public, Lao Zhu never said a word.All the memorials to persuade him to think twice and delay the establishment of the prime minister were all kept unpublished.

He, Zhu Yuanzhang, didn't know that Huaixi Xungui was powerful and Hu Weiyong was a "little calf"?

He knows all too well.Maybe he still hesitated before, after Wang Guangyang leaves office, he will be the prime minister.

But since the policy of abolishing the prime minister has been set, it is natural to choose Hu Weiyong.With Hu Weiyong's temperament, he must be ecstatic to become the prime minister.

The higher you praise him, the more shapeless he will be.In the future, we can take advantage of Hu Weiyong's momentum to abolish the prime minister system.

Moreover, in this messy discussion of Hu Weiyong's voice, almost no one noticed that the emperor issued another imperial decree:
"At the back corner gate of the Jinshen Hall, a temporary agency called the cabinet was set up. The six departments of the table and each yamen will select those who are secretive to be on duty in the cabinet for the emperor's consultation. And all Liaodong military newspapers do not need to be submitted to the Ministry of Education from now on. Go straight to the cabinet and present it to the emperor."

"Those who are awarded the title of cabinet walker have no rank or position, and the official department does not have to ask. It is set by the emperor himself!"

It seems that this is just a temporary consulting organization set up because of the Liaodong War.The Northern Expedition is newly defeated, so how can there be any war in Liaodong?It was nothing more than the emperor's previous whim, the whole operation to exterminate the Jianzhou Jurchen.

It's just a small Jianzhou Jurchen, so how can it be more important than the many major events in the court?The emperor cares, so let him fiddle with it...

Therefore, under the cover of this commutation incident, the cabinet was set up in such a low-key manner.

No one knows what kind of behemoth this cabinet will become in the future.

Yingtian, Hu Mansion.

"Mentor!" At the concierge of the Hu Mansion, Hu Weiyong was beaming, with a hint of drunkenness on his face, and bowed to his mentor Li Shanchang.

This time he was promoted to the left minister, and countless courtiers and dignitaries came to congratulate him, and it was inevitable that he drank a few more glasses under the joy.When it was getting late and there were few congratulatory guests, he heard the news that his mentor, the Korean Gong Li Shanchang, had come, so Hu Weiyong applied cold water to his face and hurried out to greet him.

Seeing Hu Weiyong's happy face, Li Shanchang couldn't help but frowned.He looked around, and saw that there were still many gifts that were too late to be put into the warehouse at the gatehouse of Hu's residence.Several housekeepers were shouting loudly, directing the servants to speed up the transportation.In the voice, there is already a bit of the demeanor of a wealthy slave in the Xiangfu.

It's still too crowded here.Li Shanchang winked at Hu Weiyong: "Weiyong, let's go to your study."

Hu Weiyong was taken aback for a moment, he thought that his mentor also came to congratulate him on his promotion.Why do you have a serious look on your face?
He didn't dare to neglect, and immediately led the way, leading Li Shanchang to the secluded study.

As soon as the door was closed, Li Shanchang turned around and looked at Hu Weiyong with dissatisfaction: "Weiyong, when you receive the appointment, how can you accept the gifts immediately and look happy? The superiors are always strict, and they don't like corruption the most. As for the matter, you are newly promoted to the prime minister, and you should take care of yourself alone, how can you be so forgetful?"

"Men Rong Rong, these gifts are all given by my Huaixi World Exchange, and they are not corrupt. All the officials in Huaixi are in the same spirit, and because of affection, Weiyong has no choice but to accept..."

"Confused." Li Shanchang paused the crutch in his hand. "Wang Guangyang's future is not far away, how can you be so careless?"

"Wang Xiang?" Hu Weiyong was taken aback. "Didn't Prime Minister Wang be transferred to the left because he contradicted the superior at the court meeting and offended the superior?"

"It's true that it's a high position, but it's only a small Jurchen tribe, and it deserves such attention."

"Wang Xiang and Mr. Hai just talked, and they are going to lose their prime minister..."

This room is a secret room, and what Hu Weiyong is facing is his mentor who shares weal and woe, so it is inevitable that he will not have a clue.Li Shanchang's complexion changed drastically: "Shut up!"

"The superior has far-reaching thoughts, how can you know that!"
