The first sixty-nine chapters share worries

After Zhu Houzhao met Wang Hua and Liang Chu at the Ganqing Palace, he was furious and returned to the bedroom and was furious. When he saw something, he threw it on the ground.

Zhang Yuan quickly stepped forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, the dragon body is the most important thing!"

Zhu Houzhao said: "What kind of dragon body is the most important thing? I am almost angry to death by those ministers now... In my country, whoever I love will be the cabinet minister will be the cabinet minister, why should it be the decision of Liu Shaofu and the others? Zhang Yuan, do you think I should not add a single cabinet minister now, or just add a few more to anger them?"

Zhang Yuan was suddenly asked such an important question, and didn't know how to answer it for a while. He hesitated for a while before saying:

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, you should not add any of them. No matter how much you add, you will be a minister of Hanyuan. You will break the bones and connect the tendons to the bones!"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it carefully and nodded, "This is a bit reasonable. Go and call Liu Jin and Dai Yi to me. I am going to ask them for their opinions!"

Zhang Yuan's view was accepted by Zhu Houzhao, which made him very happy. When he went out of the hall to find Liu Jin and Dai Yi, he thought carefully about this issue again, and finally thought proudly: "Even if Liu Jin comes, the most things he says are similar to me, but if you pick someone up, your Majesty will definitely know who is more capable!"

Zhang Yuanzhi was so proud that he went to call Liu Jin and Dai Yi.

Zhu Houzhao asked the same question, but in fact he had already had an idea in his mind at this time, but he hoped to listen to more constructive opinions.

Dai Yi glanced at Zhang Yuan and said hesitantly: "I don't know what Your Majesty wants?"

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "What do you care about me? Even if I come up with a hundred ideas, it has nothing to do with asking you questions. Just answer my questions!"

Dai Yi was in a dilemma now and finally hesitated: "In fact, it is not impossible to add one or two candidates to the court!"

Zhu Houzhao was furious: "Good you Dai Yi, you are from the same group as Liu Shaofu and others, right? Who supports you? Liu Jin, what do you think?"

Liu Jin was called out directly, and he knew that the emperor was very angry at this moment and had to be cautious when answering questions, but he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, actually... Eunuch Dai is right!"

"Okay, you are a doggy thing that's stingy..."

Zhu Houzhao picked up the teapot on the table and threw it at Liu Jin. Liu Jin couldn't catch it, and the teapot fell to the ground and fell into pieces.

Zhang Yuan was happy at this moment, so he went up to pick up the remains of the teapot and carefully placed it aside.

Liu Jinxu said: "Your Majesty hasn't finished listening to the old slave yet!"

Zhu Houzhao had already sat on his bed and shouted, "You said! If you can't tell me why, just go feed the horses. I don't care about people who can't help me share my worries!"

Liu Jin said seriously: "Have your Majesty ever thought about who is the cabinet candidate that Liu Shaofu and others are interested in?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said, "Who else can it be? Either Liang Chu, Wang Hua, or Yang Tinghe and Wang Yang, these people are my lecturers when I was in the Eastern Palace. The meaning is very obvious. Let me learn from the ancestors, promote these lecturers in the Eastern Palace, and assist me in governing the country in the future... But in my opinion, these people vented their anger on the same nostril as Liu Shaofu. Even if they were allowed to enter the cabinet, they would not do anything for me!"

Liu Jin sighed: "Your Majesty is wrong. In fact, there is only one person Liu Shaofu wants, that is, Wang Hua, who is now in the cabinet and can even be used as a vote!"

Zhu Houzhao frowned. He didn't quite understand the inside story. Because the Hanlin Academy recommended four people at once, he thought that all four people could enter the cabinet, but Liu Jin said that three of them were all pretexts. He thought about it for a moment and was no longer as angry as before. He waved his hand and said, "Speak!"

Liu Jin looked even more natural and smiled: "Your Majesty, imagine who Liu Shaofu and others want, they must be selected from these four people. These four people are also close to Liu Shaofu... Who among these four people has the most distant relationship with Liu Shaofu?"

"How can I know? Don't keep it from being insincere. Do you believe it or not? " Zhu Houzhao is most afraid of using his brain and immediately scolded him.

Liu Jin said seriously: "It's Liang Chu and Yang Tinghe. Among these two, Liang Chu did not join forces with Liu Shaofu and others. He only did draft edicts in Hanyuan. Yang Tinghe was young and energetic, and he was always disliked by Liu Shaofu... In Liu Shaofu's mind, only Wang Shilang is the most suitable candidate. If Your Majesty does not choose Wang Shilang, and he will not choose three other people, and a few more candidates will be added... I wonder what will happen?"

Zhu Houzhao likes smart people, especially Liu Jin analyzes the relationship between Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and several candidates, and can't help but get interested. After hearing Liu Jin's last words, his eyes lit up, and a smirk appeared on his face, and he asked, "How many people are added? It's interesting, but I don't know who can I add?"

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty, isn't it just to see who is more distant from Liu Shaofu? Looking at the court, there are many people who come from Hanyuan and have a grudge with Liu Shaofu..."

Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled: "I remember that there is Mr. Shen! Haha, if Mr. Shen is asked to enter the pavilion, wouldn't Liu Shaofu have a headache?"

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's name to Shen Xi, the smile on Liu Jin's face disappeared and he said nervously: "Your Majesty, you can't transfer Governor Shen to Beijing for the time being. After all, he is still in the south... The distance water cannot quench the near thirst!"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Even if the mountains and rivers are far away, it's just an edict. It won't take Mr. Shen to return to Beijing for a month, right? After he comes back, he can help me deal with Mr. Liu, but also... well, it's actually beneficial and harmless! I have intended to recruit Mr. Shen to return to Beijing before! Why, do you think it's inappropriate?"

Liu Jin was quite troubled. Liu Jin was a little confident about the civil servants in the Dou Dynasty, but when it came to Shen Xi, Liu Jin was shuddered when he thought about it.

He murmured to himself: "I was crazy and asked Shen Xi to return to Beijing? This kid's strategy is amazing. Even if he can defeat two old men named Liu and Li, what's the benefit of me? A more powerful opponent appears out of thin air... In terms of mind, I can't play with him!"

When Zhang Yuan heard that he wanted to call Shen Xi back, he quickly said, "Your Majesty, I think Lord Shen is quite capable. After entering the cabinet, he should be able to take advantage of the situation... Hehe, look..."

“It makes sense, it makes sense!”

Zhu Houzhao smiled and pointed at Zhang Yuan and nodded repeatedly, almost exaggerating praise.

Liu Jin quickly said, "Your Majesty, please think twice before you act. Governor Shen will not deal with Liu Shaofu again. After all, he was also from Hanyuan. In the first time, Governor Shen was his chief examiner. I heard that Governor Shen praised Governor Shen very much..."

At this time, Liu Jin wanted to say that Shen Xi, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were in the same group, so Zhu Houzhao would stop the idea of ​​letting Shen Xi enter the pavilion.

Zhu Houzhao frowned: "Eunuch Liu, you don't know anything. Mr. Chen participated in the examination and Grand Secretary Li was indeed his teacher, but after Mr. Chen became an official, he got close to Grand Master Xie. Grand Secretary Li did not give him any kindness. In the court, Young Master Liu and Grand Secretary Li said bad things about Mr. Chen more than once in front of his father. I remember these things clearly."

"Mr. Chen has always had a good relationship with me. After he returns to Beijing, he will definitely do his best to help me, rather than to contribute to the young master Liu and Grand Secretary Li..."

Liu Jin was extremely surprised when he heard these words and thought to himself: "It's bad, why does Your Majesty respect that boy Chen Xi so much? Could it be that Chen Xi has been the lecturer of the East Palace for several days? Oh, by the way, I remember that when His Majesty was the prince of the East Palace, he followed me to the south. Later, he left without saying goodbye, saying that he wanted to travel up the world against the river. Could it be to find that boy Chen Xi?"

"Eunuch Liu, have you listened to me?" Zhu Houzhao asked when he saw Liu Jin remained silent.

Because Liu Jin had proposed to find someone else to join the cabinet and faced Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, this idea was very consistent with Zhu Houzhao's wishes, so he attached more importance to Liu Jin's opinions and actually asked him on his own initiative.

Liu Jin quickly organized the words: "Go back to Your Majesty, the old slave is thinking about this matter. According to Your Majesty, Governor Chen is absolutely necessary to return to Beijing, but he is afraid that Governor Chen is young and has shallow qualifications, and is afraid that he will not be able to compete with old ministers like Liu Shaofu and Grand Secretary Li in the cabinet."

"Your Majesty might as well imagine that Governor Chen has only been in the dynasty for six or seven years, and he has mostly commanded troops in the local area. He has no power in the court. He has entered the cabinet but is not the chief assistant. The votes he made are still planned to be handled by Liu Shaofu and Grand Secretary Li. If they do not agree, Governor Chen cannot object, and can only follow the opinions of Liu Shaofu and Grand Secretary Li... In the end, Governor Chen must consider his future career!"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it for a while, with a little dissatisfied expression: "What you said makes sense, then what are you thinking? Since Mr. Chen is not suitable, you have to propose a few suitable people!"

Liu Jin said: "As old ministers know, there are many qualified ministers in the Hanyuan, Beijing. Among them are Li Jie and Li Xueshu of Taichang Temple, and Jiao Fang and Jiao Xueshu, all of whom are alienated by Liu Shaofu. Both of them are old ministers, have been officials for many years, and have been full of old disciples in Hanyuan. Why don't your Majesty consider these two people entering the pavilion?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned and thought, muttering constantly: "Li Jie and Jiao Fang? They have also been my husband. They have good knowledge, but they... seem to have a bit of a stubborn temper..."

Liu Jin quickly said, "Your Majesty, those who are capable have a temper. Your Majesty should know that people can use it well, not for his temper... Now you want to find someone to restrain Liu Shaofu and Grand Secretary Li. Isn't the person with a strong and proud man exactly what Your Majesty needs?"

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while and nodded in agreement.

"Even if you make some sense, Mr. Li and Mr. Jiao are not among the candidates presented by Hanyuan now. How can I get them to the list?"

Liu Jin said: "I still have to invite Mr. Liang Chuliang! In Hanyuan, Mr. Liang is fair. If Your Majesty clearly proposes to add candidates, Mr. Liang will not make things difficult for Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao finally made up her mind: "Okay, that's it!"
