The harem was in full swing, and the cabinet was also a tense scene.

He Yi has not been to court for several days because of the fact that he was supervising the creation of the golden jade robe. As the chief minister of the cabinet, he has not even come to the cabinet to respond.

Zhu Feng didn't care about this matter at all.

Now the only ones standing in front of him are cabinet ministers Gu Tingqiu, Xu Shifeng, Li Ziyun, Chen Yiliu, and cabinet secretary Liu Yueze.

Without He Yi and Wu Ding, it seemed that they were much empty all of a sudden.

However, Zhu Feng did not mind the "talent withering" scene in front of him, but instead seemed very comfortable.

He sat on the front of the long table and looked at everyone.

"What other proposals are there besides those just now?"

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, shook their heads and didn't say anything.

But at this time, Chen Yiliu, who was the most taciturn and only worked hard on his work, stood up, pulled out a memorial from his sleeve, and said, "Your Majesty, I have written a memorial overnight last night, I hope you can ask the emperor for instructions."

"Hmm? Come here."

He rarely submitted memorials alone like this. When Zhu Feng raised his hand, Eunuch Yu hurriedly came forward to take it and gave it to him.

After taking it, Zhu Feng's eyes lit up slightly.

Everyone around was silent.

Just a little strange in my heart

Chen Yi, who has always been very low-key, stayed at this time to present a memorial, and didn't know what he was going to say.

Zhu Feng was silent for a while and said, "You suggest that you reduce the number of people in the escort department of the prince's mansion in half?"

"yes."

"Why, suddenly mention this?"

Chen Yiliu lowered his head slightly and said softly: "I have checked the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue these days and found that the number of people in the Prince's Mansion in the Prince's Mansion has increased several times compared with the early days of the founding of the Da Yan Dynasty. These people are all the private armed forces of the Prince's and nobles, but they have recorded the heads in the court."

“…”

"Everyone's expenses, even weapons and armor, are required to be supplied by the court every month."

“…”

“It’s huge.”

“…”

"I believe that the emperor originally advocated frugality, and even the rouge and silk of the palace ladies reduced their share in spring and autumn every year. Why did these princes and nobles still consume such huge expenses from the court?"

“…”

"Besides, the emperor's rule is peaceful and there is no war. He raises so many troops, but in the end he just makes these people useless things, causing trouble everywhere and disturbing the people's peace, and causing trouble."

After hearing his words, Zhu Feng didn't say anything for the time being, just looked at the memorial quietly.

And the ministers around were also quiet.

Everyone's hearts were a little shocked.

In the past few days since the establishment of the cabinet, He Yi was the chief minister of the cabinet, and an old minister like Gu Tingqiu and a foreign relative like Wu Ding and Xu Shifeng, the competition between the inside and the inside was very fierce. Although Chen Yiliu was the emperor's brother, he was very quiet.

Even, there is a feeling of an invisible human being.

But unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, he opened a big one.

Reduce the number of people in the escort department of the prince’s mansion, and this is to challenge the prince’s nobles directly!

Moreover, after Zhu Feng eliminated the power of King Ning and King Jing, his other brothers were very quiet. They stayed in their fiefdom and did not even dare to let out a mouthful of air. They rolled round and pinched flattened, which followed the court's mood.

However, because of their peace of mind, Zhu Feng never took action again.

The remaining king is the only son of the emperor, King Zhu Chengxuan of Wei.

However, because he is still young and has not yet opened a palace, he still lives in Chengqian Palace until now, so naturally he has nothing to do with this matter.

Then, there is another one

Cheng Guogong.

Because he followed Emperor Gao to open up the territory and after the founding of the country, although his military power was handed over part of it, after Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he implemented a policy of appeasement for such old ministers, so he gave him a lot of people.

Now, the number of troops in his hands is astonishing.

It is conceivable that he can bring his men and horses over during the Northwest War.

In fact, everyone knew that no normal emperor would allow this situation, not to mention that Zhu Feng used force to seize the country from his nephew, so he naturally had to be wary of other people doing the same.

Therefore, Chen Yiliu proposed to reduce the escort department of the princes and nobles, which was exactly what he wanted.

However, he didn't say anything immediately.

Instead, he took the memorial and read it several times, and then said, "My dear friends, what do you think?"

“…”

Everyone looked at me, and I looked at you, but they didn't speak easily.

In the end, Gu Tingqiu, who was the oldest, stood up and whispered: "Your Majesty, I believe that this matter is negotiable."

Zhu Feng smiled.

Then he put the memorial on the table and said, "Okay, you can discuss it."

After saying that, he stood up with the armrest of the chair and walked out with his hands behind his back.

The people in the cabinet were left looking at each other.

It’s not that they have nothing to say, but that at this moment, everyone already knows it, so there is no need to say it anymore.

If it was really something Zhu Feng disagreed with, the memorial would naturally be suppressed when he came to him, and even people like Chen Yiliu would not take this risk easily. At this moment, Zhu Feng asked them to "discuss" and, after all, they had already asked them to discuss how to implement it.

You should know that the only person in the cabinet who had a direct relationship with kings, princes and ministers was Wu Ding, but after he returned from the northwest, he became a living dead man, that is, he retired from the cabinet.

Zhu Feng never mentioned the matter of asking Duke Cheng to replace him.

Now, the people here want to discuss it, and the result is obvious.

Zhu Feng walked outside with his hands behind his back. The sun in the sky was still a little dazzling, but fortunately the hot temperature dropped a lot. He raised his hand to cover it. Eunuch Yu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, do you want me to get an umbrella?"

Zhu Feng said lightly: "What should I do with an umbrella?"

Eunuch Yu stopped talking and just followed him and continued to walk forward, watching him walk slowly step by step, as if he was very leisurely.

Obviously, the matter discussed in the cabinet just now was not something worth worrying about for him.

The only thing to think about is how to deal with it.

Zhu Feng walked for a while, suddenly turned his head and asked, "I am in a daze that I remember what the big day it was recently, but I can't remember it again for a moment. Do you remember?"

Eunuch Yu smiled and said, "The emperor is busy with government affairs, and I have always kept memorizing it for the emperor."

“What day is it?”

"At the end of the month, it's the late emperor's life."

"oh……"

Zhu Feng nodded gently: "That's right, I have always remembered this, but I have forgotten it because I have forgotten it."

Eunuch Yu said justice: "The emperor worked so hard and had to prepare for Emperor Gao's late life. It's really commendable."
