Chapter 4 The First Cabinet of the Ming Dynasty

The Palace of Eternal Life is silent and deep.

Even the stuttering eunuch who followed Zhu Xiongying could feel something was wrong, and she was so scared that she slammed her legs.

When Lao Zhu started to enfeoffment, a lot of court officials opposed it.

What's the result?

It was all pulled to the Meridian Gate and cut it off.

After all, when Lao Zhu was in the Guo Huan case, he had the feat of "six ministers and below all the ministers of the six ministries" and killed the entire officialdom at one time. Killing this number of people was considered a goal.

Huang Zicheng is really brave enough. When Lao Zhu was still angry, he really didn't know whether he should say he was crazy or stupid.

There is no doubt that every word said in the Hall of Eternal Life will enter Lao Zhu's ears.

Zhu Xiongying didn't say anything.

If he didn't say it, the others naturally didn't dare to say anything.

‘This is a headache.’

In order to survive, Zhu Xiongying devoted himself to cultivating immortality and immortality, but he was the crown prince after all. After all, he was the future Emperor of Ming Dynasty. He also had to face the problems that Zhu Yunwen had to face in the original historical trajectory.

That is, the vassalization.

Lao Zhu is very stingy, violent, and centralized, but one thing is that he was hard at the bottom of his childhood experience, which made him attach great importance to blood ties.

During the Hongwu period, a total of 25 kings were granted, 24 of which were the sons of Lao Zhu and a grandson of nephew. These vassal kings all had their own guard troops, ranging from tens of thousands to tens of thousands.

Especially the nine kings guarding the northern border, such as King Yan, Qin, King Jin, King Ning, etc., all of them are armed with tens of thousands of armor and are all powerful soldiers who have been through actual combat. For example, King Ning's Duoyan Three Guards, they are all warriors who can cut three.

In this case, it would be fine if the court has a strong position. Once it is weak or there are signs of becoming weak, the problem will be like a flood.

For example, the current situation of "Old Zhu Chuimu, Abiao is critically ill, and the crown prince cultivates immortality" is a perfect opportunity in the eyes of the vassal kings. After all, everyone wants to enjoy the position of the emperor.

For example, in the original historical trajectory, did Zhu Di rebel subjectively or was forced to rebel?

Even if historians quarrel over the table, no one can fully argue this.

Moreover, according to Zhu Xiongying's secret observations over the years, none of his uncles and even cousins ​​are at peace. Many of them are different from what is said in history books. Is it all because of the butterfly effect?

Zhu Xiongying glanced at Huang Zicheng. In history books, this guy was a serious nerd, such as "It is recommended to put the King of Yan away first" and "Recommended Li Jinglong" and other fatal feats.

But this guy is the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Zhu Xiongying definitely doesn't believe that he is a fool.

Mind reading skills, open.

What a scheming guy.

Zhu Xiongying saw through Huang Zicheng's Xiaojiu at first glance. She originally thought that this guy was honest, but she didn't expect that she was playing a long line to catch a big fish.

Huang Zicheng calculated that "reducing the vassal state" was a heart-wrenching problem for the future successor of the Ming Dynasty. As long as he showed his sincerity at this time, he would definitely gain the trust and protection of His Royal Highness the Grand His Majesty. The old emperor could not live long, and the probability of being beheaded was not high. At most, he would wait for Lao Zhu to die in prison.

What's wrong with going to jail? How can you achieve success in the future be important!

Everyone's faces changed, but Huang Zicheng was calm and calm, looking like a minister who looked at death and was ready to speak out.

"Huang Zicheng's words are disobedient, and his crimes are unforgivable. He is taken to the Heavenly Prison and asked for a date to be executed."

Zhu Xiongying said something lightly, and it sounded like a thunderclap in Huang Zicheng's ears.

My heart was full of ‘???’.

He never expected that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be so tyrannical! How is this different from his grandfather?!

Everyone was stunned and their hearts were stuttering. Why is this style of conduct so familiar?

The tyrant is in power, and it seems that life will be difficult in the future. Besides, His Royal Highness, the Grand Prince, is not only violent, but also faint.

The tyrant and tyrant are about to end the Ming Dynasty.

It was the Minister of Justice Bao Zhao who was the first to react and ordered people to take the dull Huang Zicheng out. After all, the Heavenly Prison was in the Ministry of Justice under his jurisdiction.

"I'm going to rest."

In a word, all the ministers left the Palace of Eternal Life with cold sweat on their backs. After Huang Zicheng's trouble, even if he wanted to say something, he could only swallow it back.

Just as these people left, more than a dozen internal officials walked in quickly, all holding high-end notes. Zhu Xiongying's scalp was numb. If he really wanted to finish these notes, could he still live?

996 is already inhumane, so this is 007!

"Come."

Zhu Xiongying leaned on the sofa chair and suddenly thought of something.

The little eunuch hurriedly waited.

"Call the three Yangs to the Lord."

Zhu Xiongying, who has been in his soul for 16 years, is indeed deaf of the matter outside the window and is dedicated to cultivating the immortals of immortality, but it does not mean that he does nothing. After all, sooner or later, he will become an outstanding young man who will become an emperor.

The main thing is to make more preparations in advance so that you can cultivate immortality more with greater confidence in the future.

These three Yangs are Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Yang Pu. In the original historical trajectory, they served in the four dynasties of Yongle, Hong Xi, Xuande, and Orthodox dynasties, formed the Three Yang Cabinet, created the Ren Xuansheng era, and were known as the first cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.

As early as two years ago, Zhu Xiongying had tricked these three people into Yingtian Mansion through methods. He had met them four or five times and had frequent correspondence. However, he did not reveal his identities, but he was just a confidant with similar interests. After all, except Yang Shiqi, the other two of them were 26 years old, and they were considered peers with Zhu Xiongying.

The reason why Zhu Xiongying did this was to bring these three people to work for him, and the second was to investigate.

Although the history books make these three people so popular that Yang Shiqi has a good academic performance, Yang Rong has talent and knowledge, Yang Pu has elegant caution, and he also calls Shiqi "Xi Yang" the residence, Rong has "East Yang" and Pu has "Southern Yang".

But Zhu Xiongying still needs to be found out in person. After all, it is better to have no books than to have a letter.

Moreover, through observing many people over the years, Zhu Xiongying found that these people are different from those written in history books. They may be because they are originally different, they may be because they have been memorized incorrectly, or they may be because they are affected by the butterfly effect.

For example, Fang Xiaoru is said to be the seed of scholars all over the world, but Zhu Xiongying found that he likes to go to brothels very much.

Zhu Xiongying's overall inspection results of San Yang in the past two years are still very satisfied.

These three people have their own shortcomings, but they are also first-class talents. The most important thing is that they can complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. In Zhu Xiongying's view, this is the key reason why the Sanyang Cabinet can be called the first cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.

Since I am now in charge of the country, there is no need to make any confidant.

Don't pretend, showdown.

'Headache.'

Zhu Xiongying rubbed his eyes, and his panda eyes became darker and darker.

He wanted to sleep, but the sun outside was too dazzling, and there were no blackouts or other things in this era.

"Forget it, study how to call the wind and rain."

After closing his eyes, a large number of spells, movements, formations, and various objects that need to be used automatically appeared in his mind. Zhu Xiongying slowly began to think about it...

……………………

Yingtian Prefecture inner city, Yongliu Lane.

The spring breeze blows across the willows by the river, and three houses next to each other.

The two doors on the left and right sides opened at the same time, and two handsome young men with elegant appearances walked out.

After a brief surprise, they smiled and saluted each other.

"Brother Mian Ren, where are you going?"

Yang Pu asked with a smile.

"Go to the outer city to meet an old friend."

Yang Rong replied and asked back.

"Where is Brother Hongji going?"

Yang Pu dodged slightly and said after a moment: "A powerful chess player has come to Dong'an Chess Hall, I'll go and have a look."

The words just fell.

With a whistle, the door in the middle opened, and the person who walked out had a slightly darker and rough skin. He looked like a child who was very bitter when he was a child.

"Brother Shiqi."

Yang Rong and Yang Pu, saluted at the same time.

"There is a clan brother in my clan who has just entered Beijing and must go and see him."

Yang Shiqi obviously heard the conversation between the two inside the door.

The three of them looked at each other and laughed.

Then, the three-man carriage left the alley, one facing east, one facing west and one facing south.

Half an hour later.

Three carriages arrived at the northbound Royal Grandson Mansion simultaneously.

Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu, all stood side by side in front of the Royal Grandson's Mansion with awkward smiles, feeling so shady that it was in a mess.
