Yang Yiqing has not yet taken up his post. He is now a cabinet minister. Although his job is under the trilateral system, since he is in the capital, he has to go to the cabinet. In addition, there is actually a problem with his unusual appointment. For this reason, he He also went to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to find Wang Chang.
But halfway through the conversation, news came from the cabinet that the emperor had left the palace incognito, so they all hurriedly waited outside the Mei Mansion.
But that was all, and then he returned to Qianqing Palace. In their opinion, this time things were a bit anticlimactic.
But there was quite a commotion on the street, and the people along the street were probably aware of it.
According to the emperor's decree, the Supervisor of Ceremonies retained people to restrain the soldiers and evacuate the people. They were not allowed to scold or hurt people without reason.
The emperor's thoughts may not be understood by most of the illiterate people, but if they continue to work, the rich will spread their money and spend it. Even fools who have real money know what is good and bad.
This was why You Zhi stayed behind. After all, he could clearly see the play the emperor performed in front of Mei Zhai. After the people who were watching the excitement heard about it, they spread the news to tens of thousands, and soon there were loud shouts.
"His Majesty……"
Liu Jin's voice came from outside the carriage curtain.
"Um?"
"Your Majesty, open the curtain and take a look."
It wasn't that Zhu Houzhao was afraid of people seeing him, he just didn't expect that outside the carriage and on both sides of the street, people dressed in coarse linen and linen clothes would all kneel down.
Such a scene still moved him. It was not easy to make a living. If he is just an ordinary one, then just take care of yourself. But he is the emperor now.
Until he returned to Xinuang Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, he still had some emotional ups and downs in his heart.
"...My dear friends." The emperor slowly turned around and looked at the rows of ministers in front of him. "You have all seen the situation outside. How many people are so skinny...I am not an eternal sage. But at least I have taken it from the people and used it for the people. You are not a sycophant. After reading the books of sages and sages for so many years, you should know the words of establishing a destiny for the sake of the people. So between the monarch and his ministers... ...Should we stop fighting about this? The imperial court confiscated the money of corrupt officials in Zhejiang. All this can be traced. I promised that all the money would go to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now that you have seen with your own eyes where the money has gone, is it possible that it has gone to this day? Do you still think that Gu Shilang is disturbing people's hearts and causing harm to the people?"
The emperor's words were somewhat emotional, and among the remaining important officials in the imperial court, they still somewhat agreed with him. Those representatives of local interests were at least not represented in the Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty has worked hard to govern, reduced expenses, and has improved in both civil and military affairs. Although he has not been on the throne for a long time, he can be said to be the wise king that the people of the world expect. Now that the new dynasty has just been established, it is the time when everything is renewed. I hope that Your Majesty will take care of the dragon body. , don’t be too sentimental!”
"Your Majesty, please take care of your dragon body and don't be too sentimental!"
Zhu Houzhao sniffed, "I am young, what should I pay attention to? Most of you are in your sixties or seventies, so you should pay more attention. Let's not mention this. My dear friends, does anyone have anything to report?"
Yang Yiqing moved. According to the imperial edict, he took charge of the northwest with the dignity of a cabinet minister. The governor's palace was still in Guyuan.
Now the question arises, does Yang Yiqing, the cabinet minister, have the final say in matters in the northwest, or does the Ministry of War have the final say? ….
"Your Majesty, I have the ability to report it."
Zhu Houzhao sat back on the throne and said, "Speak."
The voice was full of energy, as if in an instant, a powerful emperor had returned.
"In a few days, I will return to Guyuan Mansion to guard the border in accordance with the order. Your Majesty has decreed that I will join the cabinet and serve as governor with the title of cabinet minister. But I don't know what should I do if my future actions are different from those of the Ministry of War?"
This is actually a very pragmatic question.
Logically speaking, the Ministry of War is naturally in charge of the world's troops, but the words of the elder are also very heavy. It doesn't matter the people above, but it's hard to die for the people below.
"What Mr. Yang Ge said is right, Da Sima, what do you think?"
Wang Chang came out and said, "We thought we could use military aircraft to break this situation. Your Majesty originally established the Military Aircraft Office to coordinate the war in the northwest. Now that the war is over, there is an overlapping national policy. It is both a national policy and a part of the same country."
Northwest military affairs can also be handled by the Military Aircraft Department. In this way, military affairs in the northwest can be reported to the Military Aircraft Department, and the Military Aircraft Department will report to the Emperor Ming. In the future, whether they are different or the same, His Majesty's imperial edict will prevail. "
Cabinet ministers Li Dongyang and Xie Qian had mixed feelings after hearing this.
The Military Aircraft Service was indeed a temporary organization and was supposed to end with the end of the war. Why should we follow the national policy and keep it like this now?

Were the words of the Secretary of the Ministry of War an instruction from His Majesty, or did he grasp the holy will and chose to cater to it?
After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao actually looked at Yang Yiqing and found that his expression did not change much.
This Wang Chang actually had a little trick up his sleeve. Because he is a member of the Military Aircraft Department and Yang Yiqing is not. What difference can there be if we switch back and forth like this? Yang Yiqing was responsible for the Military Aircraft Department, and by the way, he was also responsible for Wang Chang. But he didn't talk about it from the perspective of competing with Yang Yiqing, but put the emperor's power on the bright side.
To put it bluntly, this is a conspiracy. Even Yang Yiqing could see this. Besides nodding, what other options did he have?
Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes and smiled slightly. He doesn't want to get rid of the Military Aircraft Department. In fact, he also wants a special agency to be responsible for the reintegration. Today is a good opportunity.
"What do you think, Mr. Yang Ge?"
Yang Yiqing had no choice but to raise his hand and said, "I think what Grand Sima said is very appropriate."
"when are you leaving?"
"I want to leave in eight days."
Zhu Houzhao smacked his lips and said, "Enter the palace one more time before leaving. Reconstitution is a goal, and we have raised it. We, the emperor and his ministers, still have to find a way to figure out how to do it."
"yes."
…
…
At the entrance of the alley, there is no one around, except for a green weed growing in the crack in the corner and swaying in the wind. The dirt left behind by the footsteps hit the grass and also left clues under the wall.
After the footsteps left, another person squatted down, looked at the traces at the base of the wall, and then continued to follow.
"The people in Zhejiang have already made it clear. Mei Kejia is the owner of Mei Mansion. He makes money in Zhejiang and sends it north. Naturally, his family can be saved here."
"They want to overthrow Mei Kejia? But his family members are all in the capital. How to overthrow him?"
"Mei Kejia can't be defeated. What about Mei Huaigu? He lured the emperor into the palace for pleasure. As long as he is charged with this crime. Can the princes in the court spare him? If something happens to Mei Huaigu, the relationship between His Majesty and Mei Kejia will be There will be mutual distrust.”
"Going to the mansion to have fun?"
"When did it happen? Did it just happen? Does the Holy One really like it?"
"Don't speculate on this kind of thing, you will lose your head. Just achieve the goal, don't create unnecessary complications."
…
Mao Yuwen was basking in the sunshine in Jinyiwei's yard, playing with a polished short knife in his hand, "...I've seen that Mei Kejia. He doesn't like to talk. He's all evil. It seems that he has offended a lot in the southeast. people."
"Boss, what should we do next?"
"They don't move during the day, but they move at night. I secretly grabbed one first."
"Then what?"
"Then?" Mao Yuwen's slender eyes narrowed, "Then let him write a letter to make an appointment. These people are very secretive. In fact, they don't even have basic contact codes. They were not checked before, but now they are checked One is accurate."
It's just that there is still such dirt hidden in the imperial court, which he did not expect. Or maybe it's just that having money can make all the difference. .
