Daming: At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang simulated the National Games

Outside, several Jinyi guards were playing mahjong, and naturally someone was playing for Zhu Gaoxu in his place.

The noisy sound of card playing outside just covered up the conversation in the back room.

"Do you have any news when my father called you here this time?"

The servant nodded and said: "The imperial court is indeed as His Highness expected. This morning, His Majesty announced the abolition of the prime ministership system, and also strictly prohibited future generations from reinstating the prime ministership system."

"Furthermore, His Majesty has decreed that five offices, six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the General Affairs Department, the Dali Temple and other yamen will be established to handle the common affairs of the world, and all affairs will be under the control of the imperial court."

"At the same time, the court has not been peaceful in the past two days. Your Majesty has killed many of Hu Weiyong's associates and cronies. Many ministers who usually come and go are also unavoidable. The most minor ones have resigned from office and gone home."

Hearing what the servant said, Zhu Gaoxu nodded.

These are indeed what he has already thought of, but it seems that Lao Zhu is obviously much gentler in his approach.

According to later records, although the Hu Weiyong case took a long time and implicated tens of thousands of ministers, Lao Zhu's current performance did not follow the plot at all.

According to Zhu Gaoxu's thinking, if Lao Zhu really wanted to go on a killing spree, he would go to the palace to persuade Lao Zhu even if he was resisting.

Although I don't know why, Lao Zhu was "kinder" a lot, but in any case, it saved him a lot of trouble.

As for those people to be killed, Zhu Gaoxu asked specifically, thinking that Chen Ning and the like should indeed be killed, and other accomplices must be inevitable.

But some innocent people, Lao Zhu, did not move.

Nodding, Zhu Gaoxu continued to ask: "What action can my father take?"

After hearing this, the servant said: "Your Majesty, according to your wishes, you are basically watching with cold eyes, but your Majesty has too many officials at the moment. Although he has promoted a lot, he has also added a lot of new yamen, and most of the officials inside have been temporarily suspended.

, this can be said to be a big piece of fat, and many people are staring at it eagerly, and many officials who are close to the prince are also thinking of taking another step forward. Although the prince is generally knowledgeable and can hold it back, many officials below are short-sighted.

I couldn’t see it, so I was a little restless for a while.”

Zhu Gaoxu frowned when he heard this.

Zhu Gaoxu knew that his father had his own power, but he had always thought that although Zhu Di's power was there, it was definitely not big.

Now it seems that the road paved by my father is not small.

Otherwise, Zhu Gaoxu was certain that he had no plans before.

There is only a little left, which must have been organized by Zhu Di after returning to Beijing.

Zhu Gaoxu also secretly praised his father as a talented person who could recruit many officials in a short period of time.

But being able to recruit people is a skill, but at the same time, you also have to control them.

This is a critical moment and we must not act rashly.

With this in mind, Zhu Gaoxu said directly: "Let my father tell the people below that they must hold back. Now is not the time to show off. How many officials in the court are eager to go out now? Why are there still people who want to go in so stupidly?"

.”

"Tell them plainly that what the Emperor hates most now is forming cliques for personal gain. Whoever takes the lead now will be fine if they don't climb up, let alone climb up. If someone is seeking death, then don't pay attention to such people. We, the Temple Xiaorong,

No less.”

Hearing Zhu Gaoxu's words, the servant nodded and said, "What you mean is similar to what the prince meant. I know how to reply."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly, and then continued: "Let the father find an opportunity to mention it to the old man. It's not a problem for me to be out every day. I can just find any reason and say that my mother misses me.

, I can go back as soon as possible so that I can find out what Grandpa Huang has to say."

"The villain understands."

Zhu Gaoxu said everything he needed to say, and then finally asked: "Is there any other news?"

Just when Zhu Gaoxu thought that the servant had finished saying everything, he didn't expect that the servant actually had something to say.

"Your Majesty heard that someone on the waiting list was named Song Shen during his court meeting this morning."

"Song Shen? Song Shen..."

Zhu Gaoxu felt strange for a moment when he heard this name.

But he reacted quickly.

"The surname is Song...could it be my teacher's grandson..."

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu react, the servant nodded and said, "Yes, he is the grandson of Mr. Song Lian."

Hearing the servant's confirmation, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered.

In the last life, Song Lian was involved in the Hu Weiyong case because of his grandson Song Shen, which led to him being implicated along with his son Song Can. Although he was already 72 years old, he still had to be exiled.

Finally died on the road.

Zhu Gaoxu felt that something was wrong before, but Song Shen was really not well-known, and why he was involved in the Hu Weiyong case was unknown.

So Zhu Gaoxu just mentioned Song Lian to Lao Zhu before, thinking that even if it was over, he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu asked directly, "How did he get involved with Hu Weiyong?"

The servant replied: "The prince specifically inquired about it. It is said that he had given gifts to Hu Weiyong before, and wanted to take a step forward in building a relationship..."
