"Great victory in the Northern Territory, Wang Baobao is dead, Northern Yuan is like a grasshopper after autumn, unable to jump up.”
"Our Great Ming's northern border will also be free of worries.”
"But now, we have to talk about something in the Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's tone changed and his expression became serious.
All the officials in the court became nervous.
"Since Hu Weiyong was executed, the position of Prime Minister has been vacant. Taking advantage of this great victory, is the Emperor going to confer the title of Prime Minister?”
"I wonder who can take up this position.”
"The position of Prime Minister is only below one person and above ten thousand people…"
The officials in the hall could not help but guess, and the ministers of the six ministries were even more expectant.
The positions of the six ministers were already at the top of the court, with only the Prime Minister above them. If they could take another step forward, they would be the Prime Minister.
It was also the highest level a civil official could reach.
"Hu Weiyong."
"We trusted him, but he was bold and reckless. He controlled the government and turned the court into his own. He even colluded with Northern Yuan and the Wei Nation to rebel.”
"Haha."
"He really wasted our trust.”
"After this incident, I finally understand that some people are destined not to be trusted. Power under one person can indeed change one's original heart.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
When these words fell into the court, it naturally made many people feel uneasy. They had originally thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would take this opportunity to confer the title of Prime Minister, but now it seemed that something was wrong.
"In order to prevent Hu Weiyong's chaos from reappearing.”
"We don't plan to appoint another prime minister.”
"In the future, my Great Ming will no longer have the authority of the Prime Minister.”
Under the puzzled gazes of the ministers, Zhu Yuanzhang directly stated his intentions.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The cars were shocked.
Immediately, someone jumped out to object.
"Emperor, you must not."
"The position of Prime Minister is of great importance. Throughout the ages, there has always been a Prime Minister in every dynasty and generation.”
"If there is no Prime Minister, then what is the role of the Prime Minister? The affairs of the six tribes still need the Prime Minister to control.”
"Emperor, please retract your order."
"The emperor must not sever the ancient heritage of my Han family because of this.”
"If the emperor wants to abolish the position of prime minister, please forgive this old minister for not agreeing. I am willing to die to remonstrate…"
One by one, the courtiers jumped out, filled with despair and unwillingness to oppose. The expressions they displayed were all the same, for the country, for Great Ming's eternal legacy.
Each of them had a righteous tone.
Almost half of the courtiers in the court stood up to oppose it.
Zhu Yuanzhang wasn't surprised by this result because it was all within his expectations.
This was also why Zhu Yuanzhang chose to announce this news after the news of victory from the Northern Territory came back.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you want another Hu Weiyong to appear?”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned as a terrifying killing intent burst out from his body.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance looked a little old, his dignity and killing intent did not diminish with his age. On the contrary, as Zhu Yuanzhang grew older, they became even more terrifying.
"We dare not."
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous gaze, everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
"Biao Er."
"Prepare a decree and announce it to the world."
"From today onwards, Great Ming will abolish the position of Prime Minister. As for the power of Prime Minister, I will establish a new General Administration Department to assist me in handling memorials.”
"Biao 'er, pick a few capable people from the officials to enter the Public Affairs Department.”
"Alright, it's settled then."
"Retreat!"
Zhu Yuanzhang made a prompt decision. Then, he did not want to listen to the objections of the officials anymore. He directly announced the dismissal of the court and then stood up to leave.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's decisiveness, the ministers could only feel a sense of unwillingness, but they did not dare to speak again.
One had to know that Hu Weiyong and the thirty thousand people he was involved in had not even dried up their blood yet. The one in the high position was a decisive Emperor. If they spoke again, they would probably end up in a very miserable state.
Public House.
Xu Zengshou came to his second brother's room with a solemn face. After entering, he immediately closed the door.
"What's wrong? Are you in a hurry?" Xu Yingxu said in surprise.
"Something happened."
"Things have already gotten out of our control.”Xu Zengshou said in a particularly grave tone.
"What are you talking about?"
"Why don't I understand?"
"Although Father has left, the Emperor and the Crown Prince still take special care of our Xu family. Not only did Eldest Brother inherit Father's title and enter the Governor's Office, but the two of us also entered the Ministry of War.”
"How did you escape from what control?" Xu Yingxu was baffled.
"I'm talking about that kid, that kid called Zhu Xiong.”
"That Zhu Xiong who is pestering my little sister." Xu Zengshou said anxiously.
"What happened to him?"
At the mention of Zhu Xiong, Xu Yingxu frowned.
"I heard from the Ministry of War that in the court today, His Highness the King of Yan specially mentioned Zhu Xiong in his report.”Xu Zengshou's expression was very ugly.
"What did you say?"
"Zhu Xiong's name was mentioned on the Jaguar? Are you sure it's that Zhu Xiong? There are so many people with the same name in the world. Are you sure it's him?”
"Also, why did His Highness the King of Yan mention a name in the news?”Xu Yingxu said in surprise.
