Bi Ziyan and others were discussing, and there were internal surveillance officers passing through the lobby from time to time. Every time they would stop, and then the voice became smaller, extremely restrained and careful.

Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin kept shuttled and went back and forth. They had to communicate with the cabinet and determine the methods of work, especially the in and out of the memorials, decisions and promulgation, which required close cooperation between the cabinet Secretariat and the Sili Supervisor. In the past, the two were very different, but now they were close together, and they had to be more meticulous and not tolerated.

Zhu Xu sat in the living room of the class room, cooking tea, listening to the movements outside, and smiling and silently.

It is normal to not get used to it now. When the course is right in the future, you will become accustomed to it and even become more presumptuous.

Not long after, Cao Huachun came in and said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet has begun to discuss."

Zhu Xu said "yes", wiped his mouth, walked out of his class room, and came to the lobby.

As soon as Zhu Xu came out, everyone who was already standing next to the chair raised their hands together and was about to salute, "I'll wait for the sect..."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "You can bow and show it in the future. No need to be polite. Please sit down. Today is our first meeting. Everyone relax, speak freely, come and have tea."

Bi Ziyan couldn't understand Zhu Xu's routine, so he had to follow and say, "Yes."

A group of people sat down one by one, all next to Zhu Xu's hands.

The left hand is Bi Ziyan, King Jing, Fu Changzong and others, and the right hand is Sun Chengzong, Wang Qiaonian, Shen Yongmao and others, all of whom are the highest decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu looked around and felt very satisfied. He had thought about today's scene a long time ago. He put his hands on the table and smiled and said, "Don't be restrained, let's start, what are you discussing today?"

Bi Ziyan Yuguang glanced at the people on both sides of the table and raised his hand and said, "Go back to the emperor, there are three things in total, one is the discussion on 'reducing titles', the second is the disaster situation and disaster relief, and the third is the appointment and removal of some personnel from the Sixth Ministry."

At this time, the people in the cabinet came up with tea. Zhu Xu picked up the teacup, nodded slightly, and signaled to continue.

Bi Ziyan looked around again and said to Zhu Xu: "About the 'reducing title', I believe that it is necessary to do it, but it needs to be slowed down and cannot be done rashly, as it may cause riots. Therefore, the cabinet proposed to first clarify the number of royal families and nobles, and make a conclusion on some people and matters, and then make a thorough review, and then 'reducing titles' or salary reduction in batches and stages, and finally the royal family princes. The specific methods, I still need to consider carefully..."

Zhu Xu's expression was still in line with the style of Bi Ziyan and others. The word "stable" was the first. However, he did not know that at this time, he had to be fierce and decisive in the face of such a situation. Once these people have a chance to breathe, the noise will only be greater, the pressure will be more and more restricted.

This was his first time presided over the cabinet meeting. Zhu Xu didn't want to feel unhappy, so he put down the teacup and did not express his opinion.

Seeing that Zhu Xu didn't speak, Bi Ziyan said: "The second thing is about disaster situation and disaster relief. Judging from the collection situation in various places, the situation in the six provinces including Shaanxi and Gansu is not optimistic. The harvest in several provinces is almost decreasing every year. This year, it will be more. Although the disaster situation in He, South, Shan, West, Shan, East, Jiang, West, Lake, Guang and other places is different, in general, at least 10% will be reduced. Except for Jiang and Su, other provinces will also have all reductions. The tax revenue of the national treasury will be around 16 million stones, and the tax silver is estimated to be around 30 million taels. The tax silver and tax grain gap will be very large..."

Zhu Xu listened quietly, without saying a word, and looked at others from time to time.

Except for Bi Ziyan, these people seemed to have no intention of speaking. They all listened quietly to Bi Ziyan saying without any abnormal movements in their expressions.

Bi Ziyan also did not wait for others to speak, and said to himself: "I plan to reduce the scale of disaster relief. Disaster relief cannot be blindly relied on the court to open warehouses and release grain. The local government needs to bear sufficient responsibilities..."

Zhu Xu understood the situation a little, nodded slightly, and looked thoughtful.

Bi Ziyan spoke for a while, and the topic changed again, "About personnel affairs, the cabinet discussion, Sun Chuanting was transferred to the cabinet, Zhou Yingqiu took over as the Prime Minister of Liaodong, and established the prime ministers of Shaanxi and Gansu and other six provinces, and Fu Changzong was transferred to the office for a period of three years. Zhao Han was transferred to the position of the Minister of Personnel, and Zhang Bingwen was transferred to the position of the Minister of Revenue..."

These are all based on Zhu Xu's idea, and there is no deviation.

After saying that, Bi Ziyan looked at Zhu Xu and said, "I wonder what the emperor has to tell you?"

Is this a court meeting? It's a complete report? What's the difference between being a report in the imperial study? Is there a group of people watching?

"Did you always talk about things like this?" Zhu Xu picked up the teacup and said lightly.

Bi Ziyan and others were stunned and looked at each other. Sun Chengzong said, "Emperor, these matters have been discussed, so please make a decision."

"Where are other people, don't you have anything to say?" Zhu Xu put down the teacup and looked at the human beings at both hands.

These things have been discussed a long time ago, and today is the first time the emperor presided over the cabinet discussion. No one wants to make trouble, and he doesn't speak out after hearing this, which is equivalent to acquiescence.

Zhu Xu umpiped and understood that it would take time to train a normal discussion meeting.

After a while, Zhu Xu said, "Let's do this, you will discuss the issue of 'reducing titles' again. You should follow the fastest and not delay it for a long time. Don't worry about disaster relief matters. Wait until the governors of various provinces come to Beijing to learn more and make specific arrangements. As for personnel appointments, they can be announced. They will take office before the New Year. Let's meet first, have a familiar face and take office officially next year."

"I will obey the order!" After Zhu Xu's words, a group of people stood up and raised their hands to bow.

Zhu Xu pressed his hand and said, "Okay, there is no need to give a big gift in the cabinet in the future. Just just be casual. Let's just come here today. How did you do or what you used to be, and there is no need to worry too much about me."

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others all looked solemn, without any slackness, and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows and turned to Cao Huachun and said, "Send all the memorials I want to approve to the cabinet. I will not go there in the Jingyang Palace from now on."

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded.

"You guys are busy with yours." Zhu Xu stood up, waved his hand, and walked towards his class room.

Bi Ziyan and others instinctively raised their hands and "Send the Emperor respectfully" and stopped again.

The group of people looked at Zhu Xu's back and were confused. Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan looked at each other and pondered, "This is the case today. We will meet again after noon."

Everyone was not sure what the emperor was going to do, and they were very alert. The meeting on the court did not see anything, so they could only nod their heads calmly.

Zhu Xu returned to the class room, closed half of the door, sat on the chair, looked at the piles of memoirs, and picked up one at random.

The current atmosphere of the court and the country in the Ming Dynasty is still very rigid. It can be seen from the cabinet that the controversy that should have been fierce, but turned into a memorial. It had been discussed privately, and the cabinet's cabinet discussions have become decorations.

It should be a good thing for court officials to unite and plan things, but it may not be the case at the moment.

"It seems that I have to find something for them to do." Zhu Xu said to himself, and then he didn't take it seriously. He reviewed the original work here just like in the imperial study room.

It was quiet outside. Even if someone was walking between Bi Ziyan and others' class rooms, his pace was so light that he could not be any more light.

Under the heavy pressure of the cabinet, it seemed that everyone's breathing outside was deliberately suppressed.

Cao Huachun was in Zhu Xu's right room, and his door was half open, and the figures came and went, busier than anyone else.

Liu Shimin was relatively less in Zhu Xu's left-handed class room, but the internal supervisors also went in and out next to each other without stopping for a moment.

There are three classes on both sides of them, and they are also coming one after another, leaving crowded and whispering.

Zheng Youyuan, the secretary of the cabinet, who was only two meters away from them, kept watching it, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that even the cabinet was not so busy. No wonder it is said that the emperor is diligent in his current work, and even if he is not diligent in such a workload, he can't do anything.

This atmosphere did not last long. As each class gradually calmed down and did things, I forgot about the section where Zhu Xu was still there. Every class room was in and out, noisy and endless.

Some officials outside came in and were hesitant to see the emperor first, but in the end they were blocked by Liu Shimin. A new rule was established: Come and go, the head is clear.

It was not until noon that the imperial kitchen came to deliver food, and the group suddenly realized that the emperor was still in the cabinet. But then it seemed that he didn't feel anything, and the cabinet continued in a strange atmosphere.

Not long after noon, Sun Chengzong received the news and hurried out of the cabinet.
Chapter completed!
