Prime Minister Han Xiao, Grand Tutor Gu Dulin, and Grand Preceptor Wang Yuanming smiled confidently and stood on the right.
They believed that Shen Hao's cabinet would not succeed this time.
As expected, several ministers quickly followed them to the right.
Suddenly, their expressions changed drastically.
The Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, Pei Ju, stood on the left.
Li Shimin, Zhu Di, Yong Zheng, Yang Guang, Thor, Zhao Guangyi and the other princes all stood on the left.
Then, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Justice stood to the left.
At this moment, Prime Minister Han Xiao, Grand Tutor Gu Dulin, and Grand Preceptor Wang Yuanming were so angry that their faces turned pale.
Seeing that there were more and more people on the left, the six ministers all stood on the left. Adding on the eight princes, there was no doubt that the outcome was already decided.
In less than a minute, 80% of the ministers stood on the left.
Looking at the ministers on the left, the expressions of the ministers on the right changed drastically. They looked at Shen Hao in shock.
They never thought that the Emperor would be able to get through to these people.
Many people looked at Prime Minister Han Xiao, Grand Tutor Gu Yulin, and Grand Tutor Wang Yuanming. After a moment of hesitation, they moved from the right to the left.
With someone taking the lead, the others stood over.
They were not fools. The Emperor's cabinet was already unstoppable, so these three ministers had become abandoned. What fruit would there be to eat if they followed them?
Looking at the desertion of the crowd, Prime Minister Han Xiao, Grand Tutor Gu Dulin, and Grand Preceptor Wang Yuanming were left with very few people.
Prime Minister Han Xiao looked at his personal disciple, Minister of Rites Wen Qianming, in disbelief.
She pointed at him, unable to say a word for a long time.
Minister of Rites Wen Qianming lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at his teacher.
Shen Hao laughed when he saw this.
A good show, really a good show. He was like an ingrate.
Shen Hao's move was a complete victory.
Before the ministers could react, Shen Hao said,""Alright, since everyone is looking forward to it, then I will announce that the cabinet has been successfully formed."
Seeing that the formation of the cabinet was unstoppable, Prime Minister Han Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and said,""Emperor, as ministers, we are qualified to be selected."
Grand Tutor Gu Dulin's eyes also lit up. Since he couldn't change it, then he should join. The power must be in his own hands.
"Emperor, this old minister is also willing to contribute to the cabinet."
Grand Preceptor Wang Yuanming said,"This old subject is also willing."
He looked at the faces of the few first-grade officials who had objected just now.
Shen Hao smiled coldly." I understand your love for the country. You have worked hard for the Great Zhou Dynasty. It has been hard on you."
When the three of them heard Shen Hao stepping on them, they were in a good mood and hurriedly said,"This is my duty."
Shen Hao smiled." However, the cabinet is a job that offends people and is also physically demanding. In order to let the three beloved ministers enjoy their old age, I think it's better to let the young people take over the cabinet."
Prime Minister Han Xiao, Grand Tutor Gu Dulin, and Grand Preceptor Wang Yuanming's expressions changed. It was obvious that Shen Hao had abandoned them.
"The cabinet has a five-person system, with one principal and four deputies. Perhaps we will continue to increase the quota in the future."
Xuande Zi was in charge of supervising the cabinet and did not have the power to deal with or review.
I now announce that the Cabinet Chief Zhang Juzheng, the Deputy Chief Pei Ju, and Liu Beizi will take care of the other two in the future.
Xuande Zi was in charge of supervising the cabinet and did not have the power to deal with or review.”
Zhang Juzheng, Shi Zhixuan, and Xuande said respectfully,""Thank you, Emperor!"
Looking at the overly young Zhang Juzheng, everyone was in disbelief. How did this guy become the chief assistant?
The silver-haired Grand Tutor, Gu Dulin, said,"This old official doesn't agree. Zhang Juzheng is too young to take on such a big responsibility. His experience and achievements are not good enough."
"Judging ability by age?" Shen Hao said disdainfully.
Why didn't they let the old man be the vassal king?
A person must abide by the rules. Forming a cabinet is the choice of all the ministers."
Grand Tutor Gulin, who was unwilling to lose his power, said coldly,""It's true that we're forming a cabinet, but I'm afraid we didn't agree to the candidates, right?"
"That's right, emperor, this Zhang Juzheng is too young."
"How good would it be if it were the Grand Tutor or the Prime Minister?"
Shen Hao asked again,"Zhang Juzheng, what did I say before?"
Zhang Juzheng said expressionlessly," The Emperor said before that a cabinet system will be established. In the future, all memorials will be reviewed by the cabinet ministers. The appointment and removal of officials will also be recommended by the cabinet ministers.
Apart from the power to appoint and dismiss cabinet ministers and generals, the cabinet had the power to make decisions on any major national affairs.
Remember, what the Emperor said at that time was that other than the power to appoint and dismiss the cabinet ministers and generals, the cabinet had the power to make decisions on any major national affairs.”
Everyone thought about it and realized that it was true. They had been tricked by Shen Hao.
"Since there's a cabinet system, then the Prime Minister, Grand Tutor, and Grand Preceptor should be abolished in the future. The three ministers should also enjoy their old age," Shen Hao said.
Prime Minister Han Xiao, Grand Tutor Gu Dulin, and Grand Preceptor Wang Yuanming watched as their authority was lost, and everyone looked at them sympathetically.
Grand Tutor Gudu Lin saw that it was useless, so he completely tore off his disguise and relied on the power of the Gudu family.
"Emperor, please take back your fame. Otherwise, I will smash my head against this dragon pillar. Even if I die, I will leave my name in history."
Shen Hao was stunned. There really were people who were not afraid of death.
I won't fall for your tricks.
He said coldly,"Men, prepare a white silk. Once Grand Tutor Gu Dulin is knocked to death, strip his corpse and hang it at the city gate. Let the world see how loyal officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty go back on their words and leave their names in history."
Grand Tutor Gu Dulin looked at Shen Hao in shock. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He pointed at Shen Hao and wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.
Puff!
He spat out a mouthful of blood and refused to get up.
"Grand Tutor, Grand Tutor!"
Pei Ju went forward to check his breathing and shook his head."The Emperor's Grand Tutor, Gu Dulin, died from anger."
"I understand. That's all for today. I'm withdrawing from court," Shen Hao said lightly.
"Long live my emperor!"
