"...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 Qitai and Zhang Yan. He was neither happy nor sad about this great bachelor. He knelt down to thank him and then stood up.

"... Confer Zhang Yan 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, 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 this position. Since it's not him, who else could it be?

Wang Yue saw Zhang Yan standing there motionless with a dull expression and did not continue to read. The beaming expression on his face disappeared instantly, 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 and worshiped: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yan, thank you for your kindness..."

But when Zhang Ming 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 conferred just now, he saw Zhang Yan's expression in his eyes. Although Zhang Yan was reserved, how could Qi Tai, who was very familiar with him, not be able to see through his inner thoughts?

Since Zhang Yan was gloating about his misfortune just now, Qi Tai would naturally not be polite to him.

Zhang Ming stood up and looked at Qi Tai's expression. Suddenly he could only smile awkwardly and turned his head away subconsciously.

"...Confess Han Du as a cabinet bachelor and take charge of all cabinet affairs..."

"Your Majesty, Han Du, would like to thank the Emperor for your kindness." Han Du bowed down with a serious expression.

To be honest, Han Du did not expect that Zhu Biao would confer him the title of Cabinet Bachelor. Before this, Zhu Biao had never mentioned it to himself.

I'm afraid this is also the reason why Zhu Biao carried out the 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. He was a master who could lie down but never sit down.

Han Du straightened up and gave Zhu Biao a rather complaining look. This was at the Great Court Meeting. No matter how unwilling he was, Han Du could only take it bravely. You can't resist and disobey the order at this moment, right? So 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, Ming Dynasty officially begins the cabinet era.

"congratulations......"

"Congratulations to the Duke..."

...

As soon as Zhu Biao announced his resignation from the court, many officials congratulated Han Du. Everyone knows that from now on, Han Du will be the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, compared 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 Qitai to be confident. Although Han Du is a cabinet bachelor, he is also a bachelor of Wuyingdian. There is no difference in grade between Han Du and Han Du, so there is no need to be humble to Han Du.

The cabinet is located in Wenyuan Pavilion, just to the left of 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 daily office of the Grand Scholar, but also their residence. If things get too busy, you can live here directly without leaving the palace.

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 took a sip of tea and said calmly: "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 people. There are so many things happening every day. It is impossible to rely on the emperor alone. Can handle it.”

As he said that, he raised his head and glanced at everyone: "So?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? down down, therefore, the emperor has established a cabinet in the hope that you can share the emperor?s worries."

"We should conscientiously abide by the way of being ministers and share the emperor's worries..." the five of them responded 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 be handled by you first. The important ones will be handed over to me to vote and be submitted to the emperor. Of course, memorials that are urgent and above Baili, and Just like before, it 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 handles it slowly or 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 do their own thing and had no intention of interfering with the other five movies.

Especially Qi Tai and Zhang Yan, they originally thought that Han Du would take the opportunity to add insult to injury, but they didn't expect that he would let such a God-given opportunity pass.

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, but it's just a daydream! '

......Um? Why would I look at this old thing? It's simply unlucky...

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 from each department first, which means that they can hold their children by themselves. If someone else submits a memorial full of nonsense, the five of them will be affected.

"We will obey..."

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 by the imperial edict. Therefore, I hope you can correct your mentality and read the memorial. You must be impartial when delivering the memorial. Otherwise, once the emperor finds out, it will be your fault."

"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's side and said, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Zhenguo wants to see you."

"Pass." Zhu Biao smiled and nodded without hesitation.

He was found by Zhu Zhu early this morning, saying that he wanted to check him carefully. Facing the fifth brother's kindness, 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 Zhu Biao became a little 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, and 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 moment, Zhu Xi opened his eyes. First, he glared at Han Du complainingly, 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 want to rest?"

As he spoke, he waved his arms, making 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 the dragon body is severely depleted. On the surface, it seems to be fine, but if you don't pay attention to rest, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles."

"Is it as serious as you said?" Zhu Biao said somewhat unhappily. He had always felt uncomfortable without reviewing the memorials in the past few days. He wanted to recover as soon as possible and 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 ordinary times. But once it breaks out, it will be fast and violent, so it is better to be careful!"

Although Han Du did not understand medical skills, he had heard of too many cases of internal organ injuries in his previous life. The internal organs are weak, and some feel no pain at all. Many of them are injured. After a few days of treatment, they feel that they can eat, sleep, run and jump. It is as if the previous state has returned instantly. They feel that this is a complete recovery. But when the hidden danger in the internal organs breaks out, these people will be killed in an instant, and they will not even be given a chance to regret.

"Han Du is right." Zhu Ru 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 him, he stood up and said goodbye.
