Song Yingxing took Zhu Xu, Bi Ziyan and others to walk around the Royal Court, constantly introducing the achievements and plans of the Royal Court over the past few years, and was extremely enthusiastic.

Zhu Xu knew it well, but did not point it out, and followed Song Yingxing with great enthusiasm.

The Royal Court has a very complete discipline and has made great progress. After all, the foundation is solid, so we must carefully summarize and explore it. Some progress can be said to be natural, but the practical transformation is relatively low.

Zhu Xu originally thought that there would be fewer students in each subject, but on the contrary, there are many students interested in the "natural discipline". Agriculture, machinery, medicine, salt making, looms, etc. The number of students in each subject is over 100, and there is already a considerable talent reserve.

At the end, it was the last part of the library, and there was a big house full of professors, doctors, students, etc., coming and going in a hurry, with a rich fragrance of books.

Zhu Xu and his group were not far from the door, looking at each other with curiosity.

"Emperor, Master Bi Ge,"

Song Yingxing smiled and whispered in a low voice: "Your Majesty, these people are easy to verify. From ancient times to the present, there are people who have been examining the famous people, mountains, rivers, even bowls, chopsticks, etc., and then recorded them and published them in the court newspaper. There are very rich library buildings here, even more than the Hanlin Academy..."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled with satisfaction: "This is very good, I am satisfied! The Zhengzhou Court needs to establish a special project and systematic research. These are the achievements of our ancestors. Our descendants should not forget their roots and record them one by one..."

No one cared about these things in the past. The emperor agreed very much along the way, and praised them from time to time. He said two words very pertinently. Song Yingxing was extremely excited and said, "Yes." He had a small notebook in his hand and a charcoal pen in his hand quickly recorded Zhu Xu's words and deeds, which were all bargaining chips to ask the cabinet for money in the future. He was very smart in this regard.

Zhu Xu didn't go in and disturb him, but just looked at him in a distance for a while, and then a group of people quietly withdrew.

Xiao Yongning pulled the corner of Zhu Xu's clothes and opened his big eyes and said, "Uncle Emperor, can I come to the Royal Court?"

Zhu Xu rubbed her little head and said with a smile: "You have to go back for the Queen Mother."

The little guy immediately curled his lips, Empress Dowager Zhang would never allow her to come.

Li Xiangjun also looked interested and looked very happy to come here to attend class.

Bi Ziyan's face was calm and followed Zhu Xu calmly, and he never said anything. In his opinion, there was nothing big today. It was nothing more than Song Yingxing who did not want the Royal Court's budget to be cut and asked the emperor to plead.

Zhu Xu walked slowly on the bluestone path of the Royal Court, watching the students come and go in a hurry, not very old, mostly sixteen or seventeen years old, each of them was full of vitality and enthusiasm.

"Shi Bi, what do you think of the Zhengyuan?" Zhu Xu took a few steps, looked back at Bi Ziyan and said with a smile.

Bi Ziyan looked at Zhu Xu with a calm expression and said, "The Zhengyuan has great uses for the country and the people. I am refreshed. Regarding the budget, I will restore it, and I will pay more attention to it in the future."

Zhu Xu umslapped, put his hands behind his back, and did not respond.

The Royal Court is very important in Zhu Xu's plan and cannot let Bi Ziyan let himself go.

Bi Ziyan followed Zhu Xu, looking at his back, and felt a little confused about Zhu Xu's intention to come today. He pondered for a moment and said, "Emperor, although the national treasury is empty now, the scale of taxes is already very large. If the Royal Court needs it, it will not be difficult to squeeze hundreds of thousands of taels into it."

Zhu Xu slowly paced, smiling but still didn't make a sound.

The current tax system framework of the Ming Dynasty has been established, but it has not been thorough enough and perfected. In addition, the current environment is not good, and most of the income from money comes from trade monopoly behaviors such as salt and tea. The real tax and silver are still quite low.

Xiao Yongning and Li Xiangjun didn't care about Zhu Xu's conversation. They were very curious about the Royal Court. They looked around and ran out to take a walk from time to time.

Cao Huachun wanted to follow Zhu Xu while sending someone to stare at Yongning.

After walking for a while, Zhu Xu said, "Sir Bi, I heard that you are going to send all the officials and students out of the Political Court out of the State Council out of the capital at one time?"

Bi Ziyan remained silent and raised his hand and said, "Yes, I plan to accelerate the promotion of the 'New Policy', and in the next two or three years, we can effectively intervene and clean up the bottom."

"Then Master Bi sees the dissatisfaction of the current members of the Political Court?" Zhu Xu and others came to a high place and could see a group of students crowded, passing by on a fork in the road not far away.

"I just heard that Wei Xuelian of the Governor's General Office is about to pass by at Dali Temple, and the cabinet requires severe punishment..."

"We went to see Lord Wang yesterday. Lord Wang said that according to the court's rules, Wei Xuelian will be imprisoned for at least half a year, and there will be a one-year ban period after that. In other words, Wei Xuelian will be reopened at least the next year..."

"This is not the most painful thing. I heard that Senior Brother Cao was recorded by the Ministry of Personnel and could not be promoted..."

"Even Brother Cao can't even get promoted, wouldn't we be worse? We will never have a chance to make a comeback in our lives..."

"Is this Mr. Bi Ge, our dean? Where can I treat his disciples like this?"

"Even if we want to be 'just', we don't have to kill us like this, right?"

"I guess our lives are even more difficult. Think about the background of Senior Brother Cao and Senior Brother Wei. They have been repeatedly suppressed, and we may have to endure the rest of our lives..."

The group of people had no scruples, and as they were talking, they staggered Zhu Xu and others, and gradually moved away.

Bi Ziyan frowned and his face was not very good-looking.

In fact, he never took the Royal Court to heart. Even if he exiled these people from Beijing, it was to alleviate the uneasiness in the officialdom in the capital, not entirely for the lower-level reforms.

He did not expect that the students of the Zhengyuan were talking about him in this way behind their backs, and were so dissatisfied with him that he had become angry.

Bi Ziyan stood beside Zhu Xu, looking at his side face, thinking about the purpose of Zhu Xu bringing him on this trip.

Zhu Xu didn't ask him to wait too long and said, "Shi Bi, the Zhengyuan is very resentful now. I plan to comfort him. What do you think you should do?"

Bi Ziyan knew that Zhu Xu had a purpose and bowed to him and said, "I would like to ask the emperor to tell me."

Zhu Xu glanced at him, and saw that he had no expression on his face, his fingers moved on the back of his hand, and said, "Let's do this, Master Bi and Master Sun will no longer serve as presidents of the two houses. I will serve as the other person. In addition, he ordered the Ministry of Personnel to re-arrange the dispatch of students of the Royal Court, especially Cao Dingjiao, Wei Xuelian and Meng Zhaoxiang. All three of them stay in Beijing and should be used to reuse them to give the Royal Court a reassurance. I have great expectations for the two houses and cannot be cracked down. I must encourage and increase the efforts to develop..."

Bi Ziyan frowned slightly, but he didn't care much about the title of President of the Royal Court, but the emperor also served as President of the Royal Court, which sounded unconvincing and incredible.

Song Yingxing was overjoyed when he heard this. If the emperor served as the president, their founding would become extremely important and the budget would not be small!

The Royal House of Rebellion will be in charge of military and political terms in the future. Zhu Xu cannot allow it to fall into the hands of others. He used to be powerless, but now he will hold all this in his hands. This is also his purpose today!

Zhu Xu took a step again, carefully speaking, and said: "The main responsibilities of the cabinet in the future are to govern the six ministries, sort out the government relations of the court, and ensure smooth government orders. At the same time, we should also pay attention to unity, especially the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel. These two ministries have deep foundations and wide connections, and even I can't understand the depth. Although I helped you collect power, you should not be careless, let alone be too excessive. You must do a good job of being respectful to the wise and humble. You should not be disrespectful to Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu. Your cabinet should show your attitude and don't always let me teach you how to behave in the future..."

Although Zhu Xu has been thinking about his words, he still couldn't help it at this moment. He has a lot of dissatisfaction with the cabinet, lacks pioneering in government affairs, is dragging on his work, is too arrogant and arrogant, too far away from the officialdom and the people...

Zhu Xu said similar words before. Bi Ziyan listened to them and said, "Yes, I will definitely review them carefully after I go back."

After all, he is the first auxiliary minister of the cabinet, and Zhu Xu cannot say too much, saying: "Well, government affairs must be sorted out before the end of the year, and the candidates for auxiliary ministers of the cabinet must be decided as soon as possible. Three days later, I will enter the cabinet to preside over government affairs. In addition, Master Sun... has the temporary energy to focus on military reform, so that he can devote himself to the Ministry of War..."

Bi Ziyan's heart was beating slightly. The emperor's words revealed too much, and he told him his arrangements for the political situation very directly.

Sun Chengzong would leave the cabinet, and two more would be added in a short period of time. In three days, the emperor would enter the cabinet to preside over government affairs... At this moment, he was completely awakened. The emperor supported the cabinet to collect power, but he just transitioned the power from the six ministries to the cabinet. He never left the emperor's palm, and he would also strengthen the imperial power and further strengthen the emperor's power!

Bi Ziyan looked at Zhu Xu's back, and his temples pounded a few times, making him feel a little headache.

He has a cabinet that has its own purpose to check and balance the emperor.

He hoped to restrict the emperor's power and not let him do whatever he wanted. An emperor who doesn't care about public opinion will not be restricted by power, which would be too terrible, especially at the storm of the Ming Dynasty.

Bi Ziyan felt heavy in his heart and wanted to refuse or resist Zhu Xu's words, but the emperor in front of him was not Tianqi and Wanli. Even if he gave up, the emperor still had a way to continue according to his established intentions. Without him, he would be more radical and scruples, and the consequences would be greater and there would be no prediction.

Zhu Xu would not give Bi Ziyan the opportunity to refuse. When he turned to the exit, he said: "Hurry up and do things. The progress of the "new policies" of each province, the problems encountered, the disaster situations and response methods in various places must be understood in detail. When discussing the big issues, you must discuss them one by one, and you must not be vague. The cabinet must also clarify what I need to do in the next three or five years of the Ming Dynasty. You cannot just focus on the present and follow them step by step... You must take three steps at a time. Now, based on the past, look at the future, distinguish between priorities, and make a clear plan..."

Zhu Xu didn't want to talk about these things with Bi Ziyan in the cabinet, because the atmosphere was too tense, but now, the atmosphere still unconsciously develops in the direction he does not want.

Bi Ziyan listened quietly. The emperor obviously had a lot of things to say, but he had no words to say clearly because he was worried about it. He was taking the opportunity to say it all in one's mind.
