The governance process designed by the new emperor was very popular, and no one among the cabinet ministers raised any objections, and they all happily accepted the order and left.
Zhu Qiyu was also very satisfied with this process: in the first step, the civil and military officials submitted the memorial to the cabinet, and the cabinet ministers voted on it and gave their opinions.
The second step is to transfer the memorial from the middle study room to the Xihua Hall of Qi Mansion. But Zhu Qiyu basically wouldn't take a look at it. Those ministers would write a memorial with a thousand words, all connected together, and no sentences broken. Only an emperor who has lost his mind would put all his energy into it. Put it in the reading book.
Most of the memorials were written by people in the Zhongshu room with the word "read" and then returned to the Zhongshu room. Only very important memorials would be picked out by Zhongshushe and shown to the emperor.
In the third step, the Zhongshufang sent the memorial that the emperor had read to the Clerk of Ceremonies for approval.
The cabinet welcomes this process very much, because in this way, the cabinet has considerable authority, and can meet with the emperor less and argue less.
This is why Hu Hui and others were often ridiculed by the new emperor, but no one gave up. Everyone has been promoted, their titles have been added, and they have so much power. If the emperor ridicules them, just laugh at them.
An emperor who can bring benefits to everyone is a good emperor. For mature politicians, face and so on are insignificant details.
The West Flower Hall is filled with exotic flowers and herbs, and the fragrance is overflowing. When you stay inside, you will feel fresh, comfortable, warm and comfortable. Zhu Qiyu thought about it, then leaned on the couch and fell asleep leaning on the backrest.
He slept until it was almost dark. When Zhu Qiyu woke up, he found that he was covered with a brocade quilt and held a soft jade warm fragrance in his hand.
Zhu Qiyu reacted for a long time before he remembered that he was lying on the soft couch in the West Flower Hall, and under his quilt, there were two sexy little cuties. One was hugging his back softly with tears, and the other was nestling delicately in front of her. In his arms, he let himself knead it. Seeing this scene, he suddenly felt a sense of happiness welling up in his heart.
Sensing that Zhu Qiyu had woken up, Xian'er also opened her eyes: "My husband finally woke up. If you go back to sleep, you will miss dinner."
"Oh, how long have I been sleeping? Where are those Hanlins? Why do you dare to sleep under my quilt in the West Flower Hall?"
Hearing this, Xian'er said angrily: "My husband told me to let the princess and the prince have dinner with He Hanlin. Then the princess came with Nu Jia and Lei'er, but you were sleeping soundly here."
The princess was reluctant to wake you up. It was cloudy outside and it looked like it was going to rain, so she asked Bai Hanlin and Xiang Hanlin to go home early to rest. Then there was no one in the hall, and Nujia and Leier were arranged by the princess to sleep in their husband's bed. "
"Well, the air in this flower hall is fresh. I slept very sweetly this time. I overslept when I was happy. Where is the princess?"
"The princess is chatting with He Hanlin in the courtyard outside."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he quickly sat up and was about to walk out. Xian'er quickly stopped her: "Husband, look at your face, it's red from sleep. If you go out immediately and the cold wind blows, you will definitely get sick.
We've made some ginseng soup to replenish your health. You can drink it before going out. "
Zhu Qiyu laughed when he heard this and said, "Xian'er took off his shirt. I'll take a few bites first, and then Lei'er will serve me some ginseng soup."
…
After a meal, Zhu Qiyu dressed up and came outside the courtyard. He saw Lin Xiangyu and He Yi standing under the grape trellis in the northwest corner of the courtyard, smiling happily as they searched for the scattered leftovers on the grape trees. of grapes.
Zhu Qiyu hurriedly walked over and asked, pretending to be dissatisfied: "What are you two talking about here? You are so happy and you just leave me in the room?"
He Yi didn't speak, just laughed.
Lin Xiangyu replied with a smile: "The slave family is burying the husband with brother Xingyi. Although brother Xingyi is familiar with poetry and books and has a lot of knowledge, this is the first time he has seen someone dare to openly bury the emperor in broad daylight. , so he feels that today has opened his eyes and gained a lot of insights, which is why he is so happy."
Hearing this, Zhu Qiyu spread his hands and asked with an innocent face: "Look at me, I am so handsome, so smart, so powerful, and a group of stunning beauties are crying and shouting that they want to be my woman. What do I have to deserve? ?”
Lin Xiangyu teased: "Husband, you actually have the nerve to say it with a shy face. We are a prince's palace. We need eunuchs but no eunuchs, and we need maids but no maids. We only have sixteen maids. Four of them were given away by you. The rest Twelve of them were also named concubines.
The slave family has to apologize repeatedly to the righteous brother Xing for causing harm. What they know is that there is not even a maid in our house. Those who don’t know think that the princess in the slave family is so mean. My husband keeps asking the slave family to take good care of the righteous brother Xing. As a result, the slave family refused to even send a little maid to serve others.
Following my husband, this is such a humiliating scene, can't the slave family bury you? "
Zhu Qiyu heard this and patted He Yi on the shoulder: "Xingyi, you have to understand me. I'm really scared. If only one person around me has a problem, a bowl of medicine can easily send me away. Therefore, I would rather lack than overwhelm, and strictly control the entry of maids into the house, which ultimately led to an extreme shortage of manpower in the house."
He Yi nodded repeatedly: "Wei Chen understands, I understand very much."
Zhu Qiyu added: "You are my think tank, and over time someone will attack you. If I drank the medicine, it would be sad. But there is something even more sad than this, that is, like Cao Cao, living by yourself, Guo Jia is gone.
I don't want to be like Cao Cao one day and experience a defeat in Chibi.
Therefore, the maid arranged for you must be absolutely reliable. In this way, it will be impossible to arrange a maid for a while. "
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu also smiled and added: "What my husband said is quite true. When I read the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, I was filled with emotion when I read the section about the Battle of Red Cliff.
If Guo Fengxiao was still alive at that time, he would have been able to stop the hot-headed Cao Mengde in time and directly stop the Battle of Chibi. Then there might be no Three Kingdoms. "
He Yi almost burst into tears when he heard this, and quickly knelt down and replied: "Thanks to your majesty and the princess for having such trust, you compare me to a national scholar. I am willing to work as hard as Guo Fengxiao and die to repay the kindness of your majesty and the princess." Encounter."
Zhu Qiyu hurriedly helped him: "Xingyi, get up quickly, get up quickly, know each other only and don't kneel down every now and then."
After saying that, Zhu Qiyu turned to Lin Xiangyu: "Princess, please go buy some maids and come back. Let's make do with them first."
Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "As you can tell, the slave family went out first, begged grandpa and grandma, and borrowed ten maids. Four of them were assigned to the sworn brother Xing, and the remaining six can be temporarily used by the husband.
But these maids and husbands can no longer be given away. When we train new maids, the slave family will have to return them. "
Zhu Qiyu asked out of curiosity: "Where did these people come from?"
Lin Xiangyu smiled and said: "The slave family, three aunts, and two aunts each borrowed two maids."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he clapped his head repeatedly: "I'm confused, I'm confused, I've been too busy recently, I should have gone to kowtow to my uncles and aunts."
"Okay, my confused majesty, don't worry about it. I have already kowtowed to your uncle and aunt for you."
Zhu Qiyu quickly praised: "The princess is still a virtuous woman, and she has taken care of all aspects. After a while, my power became stable, and I gave my uncles the title of count and my aunts the title of lady."
"Okay, let's go eat."
…
The next few days passed uneventfully. Zhu Qiyu waited patiently for the Shanxi army to report, so he had nothing to do every day. He went out to inspect the city defense, and then went back home to play with women.
It was not until September 15th, a full month after the Tumubao Incident, that six cabinet ministers, together with Yu Qian, the Minister of War, hurried to the Xihua Hall early in the morning to ask for an audience.
