Old Zhu was a newbie in terms of finances, but he was very capable when it came to protecting the imperial power.
Especially in the case of Hu Weiyong, after the abolition of the Prime Minister system, Zhu Yuanzhang was the representative of the country.
The maturity of the civil service group would only be completely out of the emperor's control during the Hongzhi Emperor period.
And now, civil officials were nothing but white rabbits in front of Old Zhu.
After Zhu Yunhao explained to Qian Ning in detail, he asked,""Do you remember everything?"
Qian Ning quickly lowered his head.”
"I'll definitely get it done for Taisun."
" Humph!" Zhu Yunhao snorted." Then I'll remember your words."”
Qian Ning gulped." Yes!"
Zhu Yunhao looked at Yan Song again and said,"Then you, Yan Song."”
"The matters of the civil officials belong to you.”
"Other than those who are already guilty and will die, look at who else can be framed.”
"The Imperial City's personal army will make a bigger move, but the civil officials will be gentler.”
After Yan Song heard this, he secretly took a deep breath.
This great-grandson was really too good at manipulating people's hearts.
What he was doing now was consolidating his position.
It was also to win the hearts of the ministers of Yingtian Prefecture!
Gradually, he would turn Zhu Yuanzhang's people into his own people.
The effect of collecting people's hearts would only depend on the situation in a few days.
It's just Yan Song's estimation.
The arrangements in front of Zhu Yunhao were enough and stable enough.
"Yes." Yan Song bowed to Zhu Yunhao with the same respectful attitude as Qian Ning.
"However, some people must be removed or dismissed first."”
"For example, those scholars, especially those in the Hall of Cultural Splendor…mm…and so on.”
"My Imperial Grandfather should have woken up, right?"
"Master Hongwu should be awake."”
After Zhu Yunhao heard this, he picked up Fu Youde's death exemption ticket and said,"I need to visit him first.”
"Yan Song, Qian Ning, you guys follow me.”
"Let's go."
The so-called Grand Secretary was related to the matter of Old Zhu deposing the Prime Minister.
After the prime minister was abolished, the emperor would directly manage everything. In other words, the emperor would have to do everything that should have been done by the prime minister.
With that, the Emperor alone would be too busy.
Therefore, Old Zhu set up four auxiliary officials to help the emperor deal with government affairs.
Two years later, the four auxiliary officials were abolished and the Grand Scholars of the Canopy Hall, the Hall of Martial Heroes, the Wenyuan Pavilion and the East Pavilion were set up.
Then, he would set up the Grand Scholar of the Hall of Cultural splendor to be the Crown Prince's advisor and guide him.
This was the embryonic form of the cabinet.
Therefore, after Zhu Yunwen was chosen by Old Zhu, she had entered the palace many times. Perhaps she had already met some scholars.
There might be someone who values Zhu Yunwen among them!
Zhu Yun had to be on guard.
He wanted to find Old Zhu and see if he could confirm the general direction.
Otherwise, it would not be a problem to kill all the Grand Scholars.
As for the appearance of the cabinet, it was because Zhu Di often went out to fight, so he could not take charge of the government.
Therefore, Zhu Di allowed some ministers to enter the Profound Language Pavilion to participate in confidential government affairs. It was called the cabinet.
In the beginning, it was just an assistant organization, like the emperor's consultant, secretary, and so on.
Later, during the Hongzhi period, he grew into a civil official representative who could resist the imperial power.
Later on, it was Yan Song who made the cabinet's power completely the same as the Prime Minister's.
The final peak of the Ming cabinet was to become the center of power, and the emperor became the source and symbol of power.
…
…
When the door of the Palace of Earthly Tranquility opened.
Yan Song and Qian Ning stayed outside.
When Zhu Yunhao walked in, he looked inside and said,""Imperial grandfather, you said that grandmother doted on me before.”
"I don't have any impression of it."
"You don't even have an impression of this Earth Peace Palace. You're not lying to me, are you?”
As expected, Old Zhu woke up.
When he saw Zhu Yunhao, he immediately smiled.
But it was not a friendly smile.
"Ahahaha!"
"Little brat, did you beg us to come?"
At this moment, Liu Jin brought the palace maid in again.
"Master Hongwu, the chicken soup is here."
"Time's up. It's time to nourish your body.”
"Grand Sun, this servant has also brought you some."
According to Zhu Yunhao's instructions, he had to take good care of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Give it to me." Zhu Yunhao waved his hand and said,"Drink chicken soup every time?"”
"It's not that." "Today's chicken soup," Liu Jin explained.”
This time, Old Zhu didn't eat it like before.
Instead, he looked at Zhu Yunhao and sneered,""Little brat, only this palace can make you feel more at ease.”
"Especially when you see me being imprisoned by you!”
Zhu Yunhao nodded while eating and said,"Royal grandfather is really smart.”
"Humph!" Old Zhu's angry expression instantly appeared.
"Like I said, everything is as simple as you think?”
"You must have given yourself away outside, right?”
"Beg for mercy! We might be able to spare your life!"
"..." Zhu Yunhao fell silent and put down the spoon in his hand.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang calmly.
"Imperial Grandfather, I have met some ministers. They are indeed…"
"I didn't have much of a reaction, hahaha.”
Zhu Yunhao smiled brightly.
Old Zhu looked at him and wished he could tear his face apart right now.
"Impossible!"
" How is it impossible? For example, the Grand Scholar you set up…" Zhu Yunhao's expression changed quickly and said,"
"No, they seem to be suspecting me!”
Zhu Yunhao's expression changed several times in the span of two sentences.
"Minister, you…" Old Zhu sneered.
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yunhao said,"
"Forget it, I'll tell you the truth. I haven't seen those scholars at all.”
"But I must kill the Grand Scholar of the Hall of Cultural Splendor.”
"Because they've seen Zhu Yunwen before. Maybe they're Zhu Yunwen's people.”
"What?" "Bastard!" Old Zhu immediately cursed.”
"That's the consultant we chose for Biao 'er and your father!”
"Yunwen hasn't become the grand grandson yet, we haven't arranged for him yet!”
These people from the Hall of Cultural splendor could be considered Old Zhu's thoughts on Zhu Biao.
"I see." Zhu Yunhao sighed and said,"It seems that we really can't kill him."”
"I understand. Thank you, Imperial Grandfather.”
"I should first clean up those scholars who assist you in handling government affairs.”
The Grand Scholars of Canopy Hall, Martial Meritocrats Hall, Profound Language Pavilion, and East Pavilion!
They should know that Old Zhu had transferred his love and attention to Zhu Biao to Zhu Yunwen.
"You!" Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed drastically.
He had been tricked by Zhu Yunhao into revealing something!
