Looking at He Ding who was kowtowing as if he was pounding garlic, Zhu Youtang laughed out loud: "He Ding, I just have insomnia and asked you to come in and chat with me. By the way, I asked you casually, why are you so excited?"

When he heard that he was not being chased away, He Ding breathed a sigh of relief and answered honestly: "The emperor suddenly asked, which scared me to death. I have never seen my family since I entered the palace, so I still have some thoughts."

In the Ming Dynasty, the maids and eunuchs had no days off. They had to work non-stop all year round, which meant they were overworked and suffered.

"I have decided to give you a vacation in the future. You can visit your relatives once every six months. In addition, please adjust your work and rest time. You can get up an hour later in the morning. Implement a shift system and divide everyone into two shifts.

It rotates once a month, and you can have one day off every month. You can arrange your time freely on this day. What do you think, He Ding? Just tell Huai En these two items tomorrow and join the reform of the inner court."

He Ding's eyes gradually became moist. Zhu Youtang, the master, was so kind to them. He actually treated them as human beings. They could finally live like human beings.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's Heavenly Grace, I will thank you, Master, on their behalf!"

After He Ding left, Zhu Youtang secretly rejoiced. Aren't these two things he had added to the reform of the inner court system considered to be political affairs that were conducive to the development of the Ming Empire? If the palace maids and eunuchs are happy, then they will definitely be more powerful in their work.

Now that my backyard is at ease, I can carry out drastic reforms in the court.

"Goldfinger? Come out to bed."

Ding dong... [Hearing the call from the host, the host has met the summoning conditions once and has the opportunity to use it once. Do you want to use it? 】

"Yes", Zhu Youtang confirmed.

Ding dong... [Reward 1: I am very energetic today and will last all day]

[Reward 2: Physical fitness 2]

[Reward 3: One hundred thousand taels of silver] Please choose one of the three rewards, host."

Today, I have an extra energetic choice. Isn’t this the same as getting chicken blood? It’s equivalent to a stimulant? It looks pretty good. I’ll save it for the harem later. I just want to make money now!

"Choose three, get one hundred thousand taels of silver!"

Ding dong... [The host has obtained one hundred thousand taels of silver, and the silver taels have been put into the internal fund. Please pay attention to the host's withdrawal]

Ding dong... [This use is over, the system will be shut down soon, thank you for using it]"

Zhu Youtang felt the pleasure of having the money arrive. In fact, even if he did not become the emperor, if he had this system to withdraw money every day, wouldn't he become the richest man in the Ming Dynasty? With this one hundred thousand taels of silver, he could first solve the problem of northwest

Military pay was an urgent need. Pay was given to the soldiers in the northwest to stimulate their desire to fight so that they could properly defend the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

But Zhu Youtang knew in his heart that resolving border issues by paying soldiers was not a long-term solution. A large army must be conscripted to completely destroy the newly established Mongol Khanate. However, with the current combat effectiveness of the Ming army, even if it can gather a large army,

It may not be possible to fight the Mongolian cavalry with machetes on horseback. The military system must be reformed as soon as possible and a new army must be established.

———————————

The only ones who didn't sleep that night were the emperor Zhu Youtang and the left minister Xu Pu. The new emperor promulgated the establishment of the new government office and all the ministers in the court basically opposed it. Under Wan An's call, these ministers were working hard at home to code.

Be prepared to give remonstrances.

Xu Pu Jingtai ranked first and second in the court examination in five years, and was second in high school. Needless to say, he was talented. His immediate boss Yin Yan asked him to write a manuscript to remonstrate with the emperor.

Since the Jingtai Dynasty, he has written countless manuscripts. Now this remonstrance manuscript is a piece of cake for Xu Pu. He can make the emperor unable to reply. But he doesn't want to do that today. He hates talking to him.

The boss, Yin Yan, is a greedy guy. He takes the royal rations but does not want to be loyal to the country and seek benefits for the people. Instead, he uses his power to promote many mediocre people to join the job. The most hated thing is that Yin

Yan also colluded with the demon Li Zi to deceive the emperor and bring disaster to Chao Gang.

Xu Pu is already sixty years old. He has been an official for more than thirty years and still has not been promoted. It is difficult to realize his political ambitions. Tonight, Xu Pu feels that the opportunity has come. Since Zhu Youtang ascended the throne, he got rid of the eunuch Liang Fang and arrested Li Zi.

, rectified the four guards of Tengxiang and decided to establish a new government office. He felt that Zhu Youtang was a good emperor, at least better than his father, and might be the leader of the ZTE.

Xu Pu said with a smile: "I'm already half dead, so why not make one last bet? Since all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are opposed to your Majesty's establishment of a new government office, I will support your Majesty."

If this emperor is not Zhu Youtang, it would undoubtedly be foolish for Xu Pu to fight against the ministers led by the chief minister of the cabinet alone. Not only might he lose his black hat, but he might also lose his head. But this emperor is Zhu Youtang or he has traveled back from later generations.

A soul, history proves that Xu Pu is on the opposite team.

Because Zhu Youtang slept very late last night, he wanted to catch up on his sleep in the morning, but was woken up by Wynn early in the morning.

Zhu Youtangzhuo opened his eyes and looked at the memorials lying on the ground, and said lazily: "You can just read and deal with these memorials. Leave some important ones for me, and I will sleep a little longer."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep. These memorials are all joint remonstrances, and they all have the same content, opposing the establishment of a new government office." Hua En said honestly.

Zhu Youtang suddenly lost his sleepiness and asked in disbelief: "Are all these memorials against them? Or are they jointly remonstrating? Who is the leader?"

Wynn replied: "I only read most of the previous chapters and they were all opposed to it. The one who led the remonstrance was Wan An, the chief minister of the cabinet."

"Wan'an? It's him again!" Zhu Youtang's cold eyes flashed with murderous intent, which happened to be fully visible to Wynn.

"Your Majesty, this old slave has the guts to remonstrate that Wan'an is not suitable to be the chief minister. He has no talent. When the late emperor was in power, he relied on Wan's mother-in-law's power and his own flattery to occupy a high position.

But he did not set a good example for the officials and did not make any contribution to the country."

Zhu Youtang nodded and said coldly: "Wynn, you're right, it's time for me to deal with him!" Originally, Zhu Youtang had just ascended the throne not long ago, and his butt was still hot, so he didn't have the idea of ​​dealing with Wan'an so quickly.

However, Wan'an opposed his own political affairs at every turn and obstructed his implementation of the New Deal.

"Grandpa Huang, Wu Ying, the governor of the new Yamen, would like to see you." A young eunuch outside the door called softly.

"Let him in."

Wu Ying walked in and saw Huai En, who was also here and was about to salute, but was dismissed by Zhu Youtang with a wave of his hand.

"Governor Wu, you are very efficient. How come you have explored all the shops in the capital?"

Wu Ying took out a piece of paper from her arms, unfolded it, handed it to Wynn, and said: "Your Majesty, we have checked everything. The monthly income of all shops is on this paper. Please let your Majesty know clearly what to do next."

Zhu Youtang sighed, put down the note presented by Wu Ying and said: "Governor Wu, please take a look at the memorials on the ground first."

Wu Ying picked up the memorial and looked at it. This memorial was submitted by Liu Ji, the deputy minister of the cabinet. The general message was that the emperor Zhu Youtang did not think carefully and established a new government office. You, Wu Ying, are a bastard and gave the emperor crooked ideas.

If the emperor fails, Liu Ji will remonstrate with death.

"Governor Wu, don't be in a hurry and read a few more articles."

Wu Ying opened several memorials in succession, all with roughly the same meaning, criticizing the emperor and herself.

These memorials shocked Wu Ying, and she broke into a cold sweat on her back.

Sure enough, Wu Ying became the one who took the blame. It was clearly Zhu Youtang who ordered him to set up the yamen, and it became his idea when he came to the ministers. If Wu Ying had such an idea, why would I have been unable to get along in Jinyiwei before?

"It seems that there are quite a lot of objections from the ministers, especially our cabinet minister Wan."

Zhu You sneered and said.

Wu Ying folded the memorial and put it back, and said quickly: "Master Wan is also worried. He is also doing it for the good of the country..."

Zhu Youtang glanced at Wu Ying and said unhappily: "Worried, what are you worried about? Worried that I will cut off their financial path? Worried that if their financial path is cut off, they will not build two houses anymore? Ha... that's all, we have ten thousand heads.

It’s because I don’t like it, he wants to stand up and become the master!”

These words made Wu Ying break into a cold sweat. Zhu Youtang's tone of voice was extremely cold, and it seemed that he had murderous intentions.

Zhu Youtang pondered for a while and said: "Huai'en, look through those memorials carefully to see if there is anything else to report. Governor Wu, let's continue talking about the establishment of the new Yamen."

Wynn took out the letters one by one and looked at them carefully. Suddenly he found a memorial with more than 7,000 words. This letter was different from the previous ones. This letter supported Zhu Youtang's establishment of a new yamen.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, here is a memorial from Xu Pu. He supports your Majesty in establishing a new government office!"

Zhu Youtang's eyes lit up. Xu Pu was the seventeenth chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. He had been an honest official all his life. It is said that he even rented the house he lived in.

Zhu Youtang took the memorial and read it carefully. It seemed that Xu Pu had worked hard. He was eloquent and eloquent. There was not a single nonsense word in more than 7,000 words. Every sentence in it was quoted from scriptures. With Xu Pu's memorial, should he be afraid that the officials would oppose him?

?

"What position does Xu Pu have now?"

"Replying to your Majesty's words, Xu Pu is currently the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Wu Ying had also heard of Xu Pu's name. On weekdays, many high-ranking officials came to give him gifts and make friends, but Xu Pu severely refused them one by one. He was a selfless and selfless person, and it seemed that His Majesty wanted to use Xu Pu.

Compared with Emperor Chenghua, the Hongzhi dynasty still had a large number of famous ministers. The older ones included Xu Pu, Ma Wensheng, and Wang Shu, and the younger ones included Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Yang Tinghe, who later became the most powerful person in the government. However,

Zhu Youtang could not directly appoint them to high-ranking positions. In this case, even if they could join the cabinet, it would be useless if the ministers were not convinced, so he had to let them show their heads and then promote them by himself.

On the contrary, those mediocre people cannot be dismissed at once. They have to be eliminated slowly. Even if they are dismissed and beheaded, you have to find a suitable reason, right? Therefore, the change of courtiers must be done slowly, and some old and inappropriate ones should be eliminated.
