Zhu Di happily returned to the palace, and Xie Jin was waiting for him there. []

In the past few days, Xie Jin has collected some memorials related to the national economy and people's livelihood and focused on submitting them to the emperor, and he is collecting Zhu Gaoxu's illegal rituals everywhere. Today, he is here to attack Zhu Gaoxu's briefings.

Xie Jin knew that Zhu Di left the palace in a secluded manner today to Zhu Gaoxu perform martial arts. He also asked clearly that it was Ji Gang who raised it, which aroused the emperor's interest. Xie Jin naturally thought that this was Ji Gang pulling Zhu Gaoxu's back. Originally, although Xie Jin and other ministers were incompatible with Ji Gang, everyone was a party of the prince after all. Ji Gang stabbed the King of Han hard on the back. If the King of Han was in power, he would definitely not have the best results.

In the officialdom, if you rebel once, you have lost the word "trust". If you are capricious, there will be no place for you to stay in any camp. How could Ji Gang help Zhu Gaoxu? However, he never thought that Ji Gang was "raising bandits and respecting themselves" and first solved his current predicament. With this misjudgment, Xie Jin wanted to strike while the iron was hot and give Han some eye drops.

As soon as Zhu Di asked about his purpose, Xie Jin said, "Emperor, the King of Han was granted the title of vassal king, but he had not been vassal for a long time and had been stranded in the capital. It was actually inconsistent with the ancestral system. This was fine. Since returning from the north, the King of Han relied on his military achievements and led a group of guards to show off all day long. The etiquette and specifications of daily use were exactly the same as those of the crown prince, and even more so."

Zhu Di had just gone to Longjiang Post and was happy for Zhu Gaoxu's bravery. When he heard this, his face suddenly became dark. Xie Jin saw that his face was a little unhappy and knew that the emperor was not very happy. However..., in front of me, he was of course unhappy. Xie Jin did not think much and continued, "I have also heard that the King of Han was in the army and claimed to be General Tiance, and the soldiers of the army also praised this.

The Emperor, the King of Han is the King of Han, which is a title granted by the court. His Highness of Han has never been granted any title of General Tiance. He used this to be a pride. Wouldn't it be a chaotic rule of the court? The superiors and inferiors of the superiors are the foundation for maintaining the laws of the court. The King of Han is even more etiquette than the crown prince. Who is the king and who is the minister? The king is humble and the minister is arrogant, and the source of chaos."

Xie Jin was still nagging, but Zhu Di was already unhappy and asked in a deep voice: "Is this what the prince means?"

Xie Jin hurriedly said, "This is what I mean. I have never heard the prince's words, nor have I ever contacted the prince."

Zhu Di snorted and said furiously: "Gao Chi, Gao Xu, brothers, respectful brothers, and deep brothers. The prince has no objection to this, so why should the scholars say too much? When Taizu was there, those who hated the most to alienate the royal relatives, Fang Xiaoru, Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng and others, in order to make their own selfish selfishness, slander and frame the royal relatives, and instigate the remnants of the royal family. Fang has the opportunity to calm down. How dare you not take warning if you learn from the past?"

Xie Jin hit a hard nail and explained in a hurry: "Emperor, how can I have my own thoughts? It's just that the crown prince is the crown prince of the country, maintaining the prestige of the crown prince and forbidding the following to surrender. This is..."

Zhu Di shook his sleeve and said, "No need to say anything, go back."

"yes"

Xie Jin had no choice but to raise his eyes quietly. The emperor was covered in gloom and was already very impatient, so he had to bow and retreat.

Zhu Di looked at the direction of his disappearance and said in a deep voice: "The Grand Seng presided over the cabinet, like the prime minister of the country. Over time, he was a little lost."

At this time, Jian Yi, the Minister of Personnel, came again, and Zhu Di asked angrily: "What's the matter?"

Jian Yi was shocked and saw that the emperor looked unhappy and did not dare to ask more questions. He hurriedly said, "Emperor, the edict you want to draft is already prepared by me. Please review it."

Zhu Di took the edict from Jian Yi before he was furious. According to convention, he said a lot at the beginning. In fact, the content was just one sentence: mention the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet from the fifth grade to the second grade.

Since its establishment, the cabinet has gradually played a role and has become a power institution that surpasses the six ministries. However, because the cabinet during the Zhu Yuanzhang period was only equivalent to the emperor's private secretary team, the rank that was originally designated as the fifth rank for the cabinet Grand Secretary.

Now this level is too inconsistent with their power. It is simply limited to the fifth grade, which cannot change the fact that they are higher than the sixth ministries, which is not fair to the cabinet elders. Therefore, Zhu Di intends to raise the rank of the cabinet Grand Secretary to make it true.

Zhu Di quickly passed those false words. At the end, it was the names of the seven pavilions. Zhu Di pondered for a moment, picked up the pen, and angrily cut Xie Jin's name from above, thinking to himself: "Huangkao thought he was young and crazy back then, and was arrogant and asked him to go home for ten years of hard work. Now he is not enough, so he has to teach him some lessons."

Jian Yi took the draft edict and hurriedly swept it. He saw that the name of the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet was separated from the name of the Prime Minister Xie Jin, and he couldn't help but wonder: "What does this mean? The Grand Secretary all mentioned it as the second rank, and just left the Prime Minister in the fifth rank, could it be... The Grand Secretary Xie's position as the Prime Minister is unstable?"

Jian Yi was thinking about it all, and Zhu Di already said: "According to this, the imperial edict will be issued."

※※※※※※※※

Ziqi and several powerful ministers and ladies came back from visiting Qixia Mountain and immediately asked, "Where is the master?"

The maid took off her cloak and replied with a smile: "The master is taking the little lady and the little master to catch toads in the back garden."

Ziqi couldn't help laughing and said, "Look at this thing he led his child to play with."

After turning his feet, Ziqi turned to the back garden.

"mother"

When Siqi saw that his mother was coming, she immediately threw down the fishing rod and rushed towards her. Yang Huaiyuan liked this aunt who could go high and high. His mother couldn't fly. When she saw that Aunt Qi was coming, she wanted her aunt to hold him and fly again, but Qiaoyun grabbed him and wiped his nose with a handkerchief, which made Master Yang very impatient.

Xia Xun turned her head and saw her coming. She smiled and patted the smooth stone beside her and said, "Zi Qi is back, are you having fun?"

Siqi sat down next to him with her daughter in her arms and said, "Qixia's red leaves are like that every year, so what's better or worse? Being with those wives, Zhang and Li family are just talking about those boring gossips, which are so suffocating."

After hearing this, Xia Xun laughed, Siqi lowered his voice and said, "I met Mrs. Xisi today. She said that the leaders of the Xuanwei Division in Sizhou and Sinan were fighting each other due to rifts, causing chaos in Guizhou. Governor Xue has reported this matter quickly. He just arrived at the Tongzheng Division today and will be placed on the emperor's desk tomorrow morning."

Xia Xun nodded slightly and sighed slightly, "I don't know when I don't pay attention. The country needs to consolidate. There are too many places to rectify. I can't even eat the rice in my bowl. I still think about what I have in other people's bowls. I want to eat a fat man in one bite. How can I do it?"

It turned out that although the Guizhou area was under the Ming Dynasty at that time, the imperial court did not have three departments there, but instead enthroned the leaders of local ethnic minorities as Xuanwei Departments, and still managed their original territory and people, and strengthened central management through gradual infiltration. Therefore, the degree of local autonomy there is currently quite high.

In fact, there are not all kinds of problems in the Ming Dynasty now. There are problems every day, but some problems are dealt with directly below, and there is no need to report them to the emperor to make a decision. Some of them are reported to officials at all levels, and they will become smaller and will not show any signs when they arrive at the emperor. Now they are doing the opposite, focusing on this kind of news reporting, and even exaggerating them, which naturally makes the problem appear.

Xia Xun smiled and said, "If this headache is reported, the emperor must send troops to solve it. Well, this matter is involved, and the emperor must act more cautiously towards Annan. However, I think it is not a bad thing to make trouble in Guizhou. The emperor just seizes the opportunity to further infiltrate the power of the court and strengthens his control over Guizhou step by step. You, the emperor will not miss this good opportunity."

At this time, Yang Huaiyuan finally wiped his little face clean and ran to grab his treasured little bamboo basket. Qiaoyun grabbed his vest behind to prevent him from falling. Yang Huaiyuan handed the little bamboo basket to Peng Ziqi like a treasure, showing off with a smile: "Auntie, we have caught a lot of toads, hahaha..."

Peng Ziqi is a kung gangster at a young age, and is very skilled and bold, but he is a daughter's house. When he is at the colorful frog, he is scared and quickly waves his hand and says, "Take it away quickly, take it away, you little brat, scare aunt, what's the good thing about this thing?"

Yang Huaiyuan said unconvincedly: "How fun, Sister Fourth, let's play with toads, don't take care of the aunt." Peng Ziqi was both angry and laughed.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in the corridor, stopped from afar, bowed to Xia Xun, and Xia Xun glanced at it, and saw that it was Zuo Dan, so he left Peng Ziqi and his children laughing and making fun of him, and walked towards him.

Since returning from Liaodong, Zuo Dan has been responsible for Qianlong's affairs in Beijing. Xia Xun's Qianlong has two fixed forces, one is responsible for overseas trade, infiltration and intelligence collection of foreign countries, and the other is staying in the capital to investigate large and small affairs in Beijing, and it is also a mobile force.

When he saw Xia Xun, Zuo Dan bowed again and said, "Duke, the news just received, the emperor inspected the Tiance Guards of Longjiang Post, commended the Tiance Guards, and ordered the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office to follow suit and strengthen the training of the children of meritorious officials."

Xia Xun's expression tightened and said in a deep voice: "The emperor's move...is he going to use the King of Han?"

He walked heavily under the vine trench. After a while, his footsteps gradually slowed down and finally reached a steady state. He raised his head, looked at the green vine trench above his head, and said slowly: "Who is going to lead the army, the key is the emperor; if we want to stop the King of Han, the key is to find out whether the emperor has the idea of ​​Yi Chu. If you have the idea of ​​Yi Chu or love your son, different ideas must be different. If you understand it wrong, you will have to backfire."

"Zijiji" The laughter of his son teasing the frog came from his ears, and he was shocked and suddenly. Xia Xun looked in a blink of an eye and saw that his son had poured the frog out of the bamboo basket and teased it with a small stick. The frog jumped and scared him to flee. He smiled and rushed towards Qiaoyun, whose shape was gimmick.

Xia Xun took his son, and a trace of enlightenment gradually came to his heart. He showed a knowing smile on his face and said, "Zuo Dan, you can find out a few things quickly, the first one..."
