In the cabinet's office, the chief minister Huang Liji and the second assistant Shi Fenglai were sitting opposite each other.

"The first time I went to the morning meeting of Your Majesty, I stopped the court and ran to Xiyuan to train soldiers..." Huang Liji shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Maybe Your Majesty is worried when he sees the Eastern Captains being rampant and the Liao army is defeated one after another, so he becomes interested in training troops. It is better than the late emperor's work as a carpenter every day." Shi Fenglai smiled.

Huang Liji gave Shi Feng a blank look and said angrily: "It would be great if that was the case, but you don't look at what kind of soldiers your Majesty can train. He has created a group of noble playboys. These people cannot carry their shoulders and can't pick them up.

, Being pampered is a pampered person, what else can you do except be able to fight cocks, dogs, and play with women? Isn’t that a joke to count on them to deal with Donglu?”

To be honest, Huang Liji looked down on his assistant. Although everyone is a member of the eunuch party, most of his actions are for state affairs, but Shi Feng came without any moral integrity. When the late emperor was alive

In order to show off, Shi Fenglai wanted to come to the stage and attack the late emperor, but unfortunately Wei Zhongxian was not his turn. Now that the late emperor had just passed away, this guy criticized the late emperor for coming!

Shi Feng came and smiled.

"National affairs are like eloquents, and many things need to be decided by Your Majesty personally. If he really stays in the West Garden and only knows how to train troops, what should he do?" Huang Liji sighed.

Shi Fenglai disagreed and said, "What's the matter? The Emperor Shenzong did not attend court for forty years and the former emperor did not ask about politics for seven years. Isn't the state affairs good?"

The emperor did not attend court, which was naturally the most ideal state for the cabinet, which meant that the cabinet's power was becoming increasingly greater.

Huang Liji looked at him speechlessly, thinking that you really speak out, don't look at what the world has become, famine, earthquake, refugees, and the more powerful Jiannu, the Ming Dynasty is sitting on gunpowder

Where is the bucket?

But Huang Liji also knew that the new emperor was just a seventeen-year-old boy, and it was indeed a bit whimsical to put such a big responsibility on him.

But I still want to see Your Majesty strive to be a promising emperor! Huang Liji sighed in his heart.

"No, you can't see it by your majesty. I have to persuade Your Majesty. Now I'll go to Xiyuan. Brother Yu, will you go?" Huang Liji looked at Shi Feng and said.

Shi Fenglai shook his head: "I won't go, after all, someone has to watch this cabinet..."

I heard that Wei Zhongxian was also accompanying the emperor to train troops in Xiyuan, so Shi Fenglai dared not to touch Wei Zhongxian's bad luck.

Huang Liji ignored him and took a few memorials as an excuse to leave the cabinet. Before he could leave the cabinet, someone reported that the emperor had returned to the palace.

Huang Liji smiled, but fortunately, the emperor did not take Xiyuan as the head of the country.

Zhu Youjian returned to the palace and first met his sister-in-law, Empress Zhang. When Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, Empress Zhang made great efforts. Now she wants to transfer the eunuch Wang Chengen around her. Zhu Youjian feels that it is necessary to do so.

She said, and then Zhu Youjian returned to his residence, Qianqing Palace.

Just now, Cao Huachun was transferred to the Sili Supervisor by Zhu Youjian and became one of the eunuchs of Zhu Bingbi of the Sili Supervisor. Wang Chengen was promoted to deputy general manager and was with Zhu Youjian.

"The emperor, the chief assistant, Lord Huang, asked for a meeting." Wang Chengen reported.

Zhu Youjian nodded slightly: "Xuan him come in."

Huang Liji quickly walked into the Qianqing Palace. After bowing to him, Zhu Youjian gave him a seat.

"Your Majesty, I have something to decide when I ask for my visit this time." Huang Liji said.

Zhu Youjian said: "I have just ascended the throne and am not familiar with state affairs. If there is anything, the cabinet will agree to deal with it."

Huang Liji shook his head and said, "Your Majesty must decide this matter. The first thing is to pursue His Majesty's biological mother, and the second thing is to enthrone the empress."

When he heard that his mother Liu Xianfei, who had passed away, Zhu Youjian quickly sat upright and listened carefully.

As early as when Zhu Youjian was five years old, his biological mother Liu died of illness. Later, after Zhu Youjian's father Zhu Changluo ascended the throne, he posthumously conferred the title of Liu as a virtuous concubine. Now that Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, he should posthumously conferred the title of biological mother as the empress dowager.

After discussion among the cabinet, Zhu Youjian's biological mother Liu Xian was given the posthumous title of "Xiaochun Gongyi Shumu Mu Zhuang Jingbi Tianyu Sheng Empress Dowager" to the deceased Zhu Youjian.

Then he appointed Princess Xin as the queen, which was the right idea. After reading the enthronement edict proposed by the cabinet, Zhu Youjian expressed his satisfaction and put it on the red queen and asked someone to take it to the liexi supervisor to stamp it.

"I heard that Your Majesty is here to train troops in Xiyuan today." After saying the matter, Huang Liji did not immediately leave, but laughed and started talking about the family matters.

Zhu Youjian nodded: "Yuanfu, you are well-informed. Yes, I decided to form a new army of imperial guards in Xiyuan. When the new army is completed, I will personally lead the army out of the pass to fight against the Eastern Captains."

Huang Liji advised: "Your Majesty, I think you have just ascended the throne and should focus on handling government affairs. Just leave the military training to a military general. Why should the emperor do it himself?"

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "You are here mainly to persuade me, right?"

Huang Liji stood up from Jindun and knelt down: "Your Majesty is wise, the old minister is here to persuade Your Majesty.

Since the rise of the Eastern Barbarians in the late Wanli period, our Ming army has been defeated one after another, and almost all of Liaodong fell into the hands of the enemy. His Majesty's worries are naturally clear. However, no matter how strong the Eastern Barbarians are, they are just a disease of their elbows. With Ning Jin's defense line in the east

The enemy will never disturb the capital.

I have thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty and billions of people. As long as your Majesty works hard and strives for governance, as long as the government is clear and clear, the monarch and ministers are united in their hearts, and the people are pampering and accumulating national strength, sooner or later, they will surely destroy the Eastern Captains and recover their hometowns in Liaodong!”

Looking at Huang Liji who was kneeling on the ground and sincerely persuading him, Zhu Youjian became a little dazed. He felt that it was necessary to re-recognize the prime minister in front of him.

When he had just ascended the throne in his previous life, in Zhu Youjian's eyes, whether it was Huang Liji, other cabinet masters, or even the six ministers, they were all Wei Zhongxian's followers!

So after the throne was settled, Zhu Youjian quickly found an opportunity to make a major change, driving Huang Liji and other cabinet ministers, and all the six ministers, as long as they were once eunuchs, were out of the court and replaced.

He thought he was upright and did not abide by the Qingliu ministers who were accomplices of the eunuch party. He thought that the situation would be renewed. With the assistance of the "masters", the Ming Dynasty would flourish and realize its rejuvenation.

But unexpectedly, the eunuch party is gone, the party struggles are still there, and it is getting more and more intense. The ministers are busy attacking political enemies and eradicating dissidents all day long, and they have no intention of doing things in the main business, so that state affairs are becoming more and more difficult, and they are angry and only

I can choose to remove malfeasance officials and re-appoint officials I think are competent. However, the newly replaced officials are not much better than my ex, so I can only choose to continue to remove them and use new people...

In his previous life, he was the emperor for seventeen years, and there were nineteen prime ministers. As for the number of other cabinet members and even the six ministers of the ministers, Zhu Youjian can no longer remember it now.

Now that I think that the ministers who are upright and honest may not be able to do it, and the eunuchs of the Afu Party may not be without capable ministers.

For example, in Huang Liji in front of him, in the third year of Tianqi, the emperor's brother Tianqi insisted on rebuilding the three halls. At that time, the national treasury was empty and the border troops could not even pay the salary. Other court officials dared not persuade the emperor, so only Huang Liji fought to the death.

This time, Huang Liji was the first to be able to ascend the throne as the chief minister, and he advised him to advance three times. From this point of view, it was also considered a contribution to support.

At present, Huang Liji is here to advise him to work diligently. In addition to the stain on Afu Eunuch Party, what Huang Liji does is worthy of the Prime Minister of the Cabinet!

"The Ming Dynasty was destroyed by party struggles!" The words of those people in the picture lingered in Zhu Youjian's ears.

In this life, no matter what, the party struggle cannot be resurgent! In an instant, Zhu Youjian made up his mind.

A honest and upright minister is good, but corrupt officials, treacherous ministers and treacherous ministers also have their own uses. Those who are kings should make the best use of others, rather than based on their moral character, they should appoint and dismiss them in their hearts.

But, I still have to test it.

"What does Yuan Fu think of the factory minister Wei Zhongxian?" Zhu Youjian suddenly asked without paying attention to Huang Liji's advice.
