"Confer Chen Di the title of Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion"
Chen Di was originally a neutral party. He neither favored Han Du nor got involved with Qi Tai and Zhang Yan. He had no joy or sorrow for this great bachelor. He knelt down to express his gratitude and then stood up.
"Confer Zhang Meng the title of Bachelor of Wenhua Palace"
The smile on Zhang Meng's face froze instantly. When he heard that Chen Di was awarded the title just now, he had a better chance of winning, but at this moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, and his face was ashen.
He spent so much effort, even turning against Qi Tai, just for the position of chief assistant. If it wasn't him, then who else could it be?
Wang Yue saw Zhang Yu standing there with a dull expression and did not continue to read. The beaming expression on his face disappeared in an instant, and he said with a straight face, "Master Zhang, why don't you thank me?"
Zhu Biao also noticed something was wrong with Zhang Yan's expression, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
Zhang Yan immediately turned around, knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, Zhang Yan, thank you for your kindness."
However, when Zhang Yan touched his head to the ground, no one except Qi Tai could see the pain on his face.
Qi Tai didn't have the slightest sympathy for him. When he was awarded the title just now, he saw Zhang Zhen's expression in his eyes. Although Zhang Zhen was reserved, he was very familiar with him.
Qitai, how could he not see through his inner thoughts?
Since Zhang Yan was gloating about his misfortune just now, Qi Tai would naturally not be polite to him either.
Zhang Ming stood up and took a good look at Qi Tai's expression. He immediately had to smile awkwardly and subconsciously turned his head away.
"Confess Han Du as a cabinet bachelor and take charge of all cabinet affairs."
"Your Majesty Han Du, thank you for your kindness." Han Du bowed down with a serious expression.
To be honest, Han Du never thought that Zhu Biao would make him a cabinet bachelor. Before that, Zhu Biao had never mentioned it to him.
I'm afraid this is also the reason why Zhu Biao launched a surprise attack. He knew that if he had told Han Du in advance, Han Du would probably refuse with his lazy temper. Zhu Biao knew Han Du too well, and he was a man who could lie down.
The Lord will never sit down.
Han Du straightened up and looked at Zhu Biao with a rather complaining look. This was at the Great Court Meeting. No matter how unwilling he was, Han Du could only take it bravely. He could not resist at this moment.
Disobeying the order, right? Then where does Zhu Biao’s authority lie?
The establishment of the cabinet, the conferment of bachelor's degree and other matters ended with this.
Starting today, the Ming Dynasty officially begins the cabinet era.
"congratulations"
"Congratulations to the Duke of Zhenguo"
Zhu
As soon as Biao announced his resignation from the court, a group of officials congratulated Han Du one after another. Everyone knew that from now on, Han Du would be the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, comparable to the prime minister!
Even Chen Di and the ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment expressed their congratulations to Han Du.
Only Qi Tai and Zhang Yan looked at Han Du coldly and left without saying a word.
But what is different from the past is that the two of them were together before, but now they are going their separate ways.
It makes sense for Qi Tai to be confident. Although Han Du is a cabinet bachelor, he is also a bachelor of Wuyingdian. There is no difference in rank between Han Du and Han Du, so there is no need to be groveling to Han Du.
The cabinet is located in Wenyuan Pavilion, just to the left of the Meridian Gate, not far from Fengtian Hall. The place has long been cleaned, waiting for the newly promoted bachelors to take their seats.
In Wenyuan Pavilion, each Grand Scholar has an exclusive government room. This is not only the office of the Grand Scholar on weekdays, but also their residence. If things are too busy, you don’t have to go out.
Palace, live here directly.
This is the palace, and men were not allowed to stay overnight originally, but in order to summon the bachelor in time to discuss matters, Zhu Biao made an exception.
The next day, Han Du held his first cabinet meeting in Wenyuan Pavilion.
After everyone fell behind, Han Du sat up and took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "Do you know the emperor's original intention of establishing the cabinet?"
Several bachelors looked at Han Du quietly and did not speak rashly.
Han Du had no intention of forcing them to say it. He paused and continued, "The Ming Dynasty now covers tens of thousands of miles and has tens of millions of inhabitants. There are so many things that happen every day. It is impossible for the emperor to handle it alone."
Gotta come over here.”
As he said that, he raised his head and glanced at everyone, "That's why the emperor established a cabinet, hoping that you can share the emperor's worries."
"We must abide by the way of being ministers and share the emperor's worries," the five of them replied in unison, cupping their hands.
Han Du nodded and said, "From now on, the memorials sent by the world will be divided into six parts, and you will deal with them first. The important ones will be handed over to me to vote and be submitted to the emperor. Of course, the memorials that are urgent and above Baili will be the same as the previous ones."
The same must be presented to the emperor as soon as possible."
Those who can use the post station to expedite the report are all urgent and extraordinary things, such as disasters in some places, etc. Maybe the situation is not serious, but if the court is in
If it is installed slowly or handled improperly, the impact will be very serious.
After everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. They originally thought that Han Du would take the opportunity to seize the power in their hands in the name of Shouxu University Scholar. Unexpectedly, Han Du still let them go their own way and did not interfere at all.
Thoughts on the other five.
Especially Qi Tai and Zhang Yan, they originally thought that Han Du would take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury, but they did not expect that he would let such a God-given opportunity pass easily.
Qi Tai and Zhang Yan subconsciously glanced sideways at each other with a smile on their faces. "Isn't this Han Du a fool? Do you think that this way you can ease the relationship with yourself and make yourself surrender to him? It's a beautiful thought.
What a pity it’s just daydreaming!'
Huh? Why would I look at this old guy? It’s just bad luck
The two quickly turned their heads away.
Han Du looked at the people in front of him quietly. In the past, Zhu Biao had to deal with so many meaningless memorials every day, and it had nothing to do with these people. Some of them even gave Zhu Biao memorials when they had nothing to do.
Now let them pass the memorials of each department first, which means that they can take care of their children by themselves. If someone else submits a memorial full of nonsense, the five of them will be affected.
"I will obey you"
Han Du continued, "Also, whether it is the memorial you have read or the one drafted by me, all will be sent to the palace in the end and will be verified one by one by the imperial edict. Therefore, I hope you can correct your mentality and read the memorial."
You must be impartial when doing so. Otherwise, once the emperor finds out, you will be the ones to find it yourself."
"We must be fair and just"
Han Du didn't care whether what they said was true or not. Anyway, he had already reminded them. As for what they did and what consequences they suffered, it had nothing to do with him.
He waved his hands and asked everyone to go back and start handling government affairs.
Han Du's first cabinet meeting ended so simply.
Putting down the teapot, Han Du stood up and walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion and walked towards Ouchi.
In the imperial garden, Zhu Xi was taking Zhu Biao's pulse, while Han Jingyun stood aside with a nervous look on his face.
After a while, Wang Yue quietly came to Zhu Biao and said, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo wants to see you."
"Passed." Zhu Biao smiled and nodded without hesitation.
He was found by Zhu Biao early this morning, saying that he wanted to check him carefully. Faced with the kindness of his fifth brother, Zhu Biao was too embarrassed to refuse, so he summoned him to the Imperial Garden.
>
Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao originally thought it was just a simple inspection, but it took so much time to take it over that it even made Zhu Biao feel bored.
Now when I heard that Han Du was coming, I was naturally overjoyed and summoned him in without hesitation.
Han Du saw Zhu Rui feeling his pulse, so in order not to disturb him, he quickly lowered his steps and walked forward slowly.
"My lord, please pay homage to your Majesty."
Zhu Biao smiled and nodded, "No need."
At this time, Zhu Xi opened his eyes. First he glared at Han Du with a complaining look, and then looked at Zhu Biao.
"The Emperor still needs more rest. Although he no longer needs to take medicine, he must continue to rest for a few days."
Zhu Biao asked in confusion, "No way? Do you still need to rest?"
As he spoke, he waved his arms to make the tiger angry.
"I think I'm completely healed. I don't need to rest, right?"
Zhu Xi looked at Zhu Biao with a serious face and said, "The emperor has been overworked and his dragon body is severely depleted. Now it seems that there is no serious problem, but if you don't pay attention to rest, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future."
"Is it as serious as you said?" Zhu Biao said somewhat unhappily. He had not reviewed the memorials in the past few days and always felt uncomfortable. He wanted to recover as soon as possible and then continue to contribute to the Ming Dynasty.
Han Jingyun became nervous immediately after hearing this, and couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, King Zhou is the best doctor in the world. Please keep his words in mind, even if it is not for anything else, just for our concubine and the emperor, okay?"
Han Du also nodded in agreement, "Your Majesty, injuries to the internal organs are no small matter. Moreover, the abdominal organs are hidden and cannot be seen at all. But once it breaks out, it will be fast and violent, so it is better to be careful!"
Although Han Du does not know medical skills, he has heard too many cases of internal organ injuries in his previous life. The internal organs are weak, and some of them feel no pain at all. Many of them are injured, and after a few days of treatment, they feel that they can eat, sleep, and run.
It was as if the previous state was back in an instant, and they all thought that this was a complete recovery. But when the hidden dangers in the internal organs broke out, they killed these people in an instant, and they were not even given a chance to regret.
"Han Du is right." Zhu Zhu nodded, "Some hidden dangers in the internal organs are very difficult to judge. Even my brother is not completely sure. Brother Huang, it is better to rest for a few more days."
Zhu Biao saw that everyone had said this. Although he was a little reluctant, he still sighed and agreed, "Okay."
When Zhu Zhu saw it, he stood up and said goodbye.
