The Xu family is confident in the next Dali Temple trial. In this regard, Xu Ye has no more fault than hitting people. He is entrusted by others to be loyal to others, but instead demonstrates a gentlemanly style. n∈

Xu Ye himself was very ashamed. He alarmed the court and was embarrassed. He asked for leave and closed his door to think about his mistakes.

This made him realize the complexity of the officialdom. As long as people think that standing up and saying that they don’t buy it, they don’t buy it. So what can the prince of the country? From childhood to adulthood, Xu Yu finally realized the difficulty of his father, why he lived in seclusion in his home in a low-key manner.

Not to mention his father and other ministers, no one can even look down on those vassal kings now. Xu Yu realized that he could no longer take it for granted. In the final analysis, he had to fight for face without the halo of the country's vassal.

Emperor Xuande did not allow the vassal kings to come to the capital to congratulate him. To put it bluntly, it was to send a clear signal. Because the vassal kings entered the capital, any official along the way had to welcome him. Even if he was the three masters, it often made the subjects all over the world realize that the vassal kings, like the Hongwu Dynasty, could control the army and the people, and even be unrighteous. They could learn from the King of Yan to play the game of purifying the king's side.

The vassal kings were not allowed to enter the capital, so they were naturally not allowed to leave their fiefdoms, which greatly weakened their influence. Coupled with a series of open and dark means such as restricting military power and reducing guards, the royal palaces gradually became captive pigs, just like in history.

Zhu Zhanji's approach is in line with his father, and he treats martial arts meritorious officials the same way. Zhang Fu was stolen and Xu Hao automatically pushed him, which made his influence in the military worse than before.

Zhu Gaochi once gave Yang Shiqi, Jin Youzi, Yang Rong, Xia Yuanji and other ministers a silver seal engraved with the words "Ruanqianjiu". This can be written secretly. Wu Zetian used this method and the Qing emperor also learned it.

In history, Yang Pu, one of the three Yang ministers, was imprisoned by Zhu Di for ten years because of Zhu Gaochi's involvement. After Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, Yang Pu was trusted by other cabinet ministers. However, for Yang Shiqi and others who were also imprisoned, Zhu Gaochi had a special feeling, and the relationship between the emperor and the ministers was something that no one else could have.

Xu Hao changed history by one hand, and he replaced it with him, and his close relationship with Emperor Hong Xi was far more than anyone else. At the same time, when the cabinet ministers treated the legal crown prince Zhu Zhanji, they were exactly the same allegiance as in history. This is why Zhu Zhanji trusted the cabinet ministers as in history after he ascended the throne.

Zhu Zhanji's improvement of the official position and rights of the cabinet was due to the need to strengthen the imperial power, that is, centralization. Through the cabinet, he further concentrated the power of the emperor and got rid of the huge influence of meritorious generals.

Xie Jin's righteous words in the court naturally made Zhu Zhanji feel very uncomfortable. He quickly issued an order to reward Xie Jin as one of the three orphans, and then transferred three ministers Yang Pu, Chen Shan and Zhang Ying into the cabinet. The three of them were the teachers when he was the crown prince.

In this way, the cabinet formed a new seven-person system, namely Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Jin Youzi, Huang Huai, Yang Pu, Zhang Ying, and Chen Shan.

When the news came, Xu Hao knew that the famous "Three Yangs" in history, it was true that the Three Yangs were loyal ministers. But they were not perfect. As the most respected cabinet minister, he was undoubtedly responsible for the decline of the Xuande Dynasty.

Xu Hao was observing the cabinet quietly. Obviously, Chen Shan and Zhang Ying were not capable. They were knowledgeable and good at talking big. They were obviously laymen in dealing with complex government affairs.

Huang Huai was a veteran of the five dynasties. He was the Minister of Revenue of the Ministry of Revenue and the President of the National History of the Master of the Wuying Palace. He presided over the examination twice and participated in the supervision of the country many times. He was decisive and well-off in the governance of the country, and was gentle and generous. His history evaluated him as "the official instructed and had the style of an ancient minister."

Unfortunately, Huanghuai is old and faced with the gradually merged three Yangs, he faintly reveals his thoughts of retreating to the mountains and forests.

Xu Hao and Huang Huai have no friendship, and it is impossible for him to persuade the 60-year-old man to continue to stay at his post.

Jin Youzi joined the Minister of Rites and the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, and was still a Hanlin Bachelor. He is now responsible for reviewing the records of Renzong. Xu Hao knew that Jin Youzi was in poor health and was not young anymore, which means that if nothing unexpected happened, the cabinet would be the territory of San Yang.

The most obvious thing is that Yang Shiqi has a vague tendency to become the chief minister. He and Yang Rong have obtained the most critical personnel recommendation and appointment and removal power of the Ministry of Personnel. Over the past few days, after selecting Yang Shiqi and the cabinet ministers, the officials recommended to the emperor were almost completely adopted by Zhu Zhanji, and the cabinet's authority has increased day by day.

Xu Hao was not worried about this. Although San Yang was attached to power, his ethics was trustworthy. He successively recommended several officials who were famous for their integrity and integrity, and served as the left and right imperial envoys, and requested the emperor to appoint Gao Gu, Zhou Chen, and others to take important positions.

In history, it was the standout of these young and powerful civil officials that made Yu Qian able to lead his subjects to turn the tide in one fell swoop in the crisis of the 400,000 army being wiped out and Yingzong was captured.

Zhu Zhanji was not a diligent emperor, but liked art and hunting. He gave Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong the right to have some ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, which would have the right to directly appoint and remove some officials without being selected by the Ministry of Personnel or appointed by the emperor.

In the cabinet, Xu Hao admires Yang Rong, who is proficient in military affairs, not counting old ministers such as Huanghuai Jin Youzi. Yang Rong is a rare shrewd and capable person who is generally evaluated inside and outside the court and the country. His ability exceeds Yang Shiqi and Xie Jin. However, Yang Rong has one of the biggest flaws, which cannot tolerate mistakes and often directly denounces his faults.

As early as the Hongxi period, Yang Rong, who had suddenly reached a high position, was envied by officials and had a very tense relationship. Many ministers wanted to squeeze him out of the cabinet and publicly recommended Yang Rong as the Imperial College Priest.

Zhu Gaochi disagreed. This was the same as Zhu Di's approach. Yang Rong did not learn a lesson and still did not give anyone face. Now he is constantly attacking the faults of Yang Shiqi and Xia Yuanji and others. The news in the palace caused Zhu Zhanji's displeasure.

Xu Hao, who observed all this, came to the conclusion that Yang Shiqi will take the initiative to ease his relationship with Yang Rong out of political considerations and broad minds, and his honest talents are reassuring.

However, the power of the cabinet was gradually concentrated in the hands of the "Three Yangs", and Zhu Zhanji would inevitably promote his trusted eunuchs to check and balance. He was not at ease with the vassal kings, his meritorious deeds, and his civil officials. So who else could he trust besides the eunuchs around him? This was not Zhu Zhanji's mistake. Xu Hao asked himself that if he became emperor, he would probably choose eunuchs, just like what he trusted most now was a few families, because it was easy to control, and it was just a matter of killing and cutting.

Xu Hao and his son were both worried, and Xu Yu, who had been with Bixiao all day, felt hungry when he didn't even know how to eat rice. Qingyun brought in a bowl of lotus seed soup.

After eating, Xu Yu asked, "Is there any more?"

Qingyun said, "There are so many."

"Get a bowl for your sister and get some delicious side dishes."

After Xu Yu finished his instructions, he walked out. Seeing this, Chunliu lit the wind lanterns and walked in front of him. When he arrived at Jieshou Hall, the lanterns under the two corridors had been lit up, and many mothers and girls were standing.

Chunliu went over and said, "Xu Yu didn't need the maid to do it, so he opened the curtain and went in."

Seeing that my grandmother and sisters were all there, fortunately the eldest wife did not come. Xu Yu stepped forward to invite the elders to his care and asked, "When will the wife come back? I won't come back now."

Xiao said, "That's right, I almost couldn't get out of here again. The Zhu family is still singing operas."

Xu Yu smiled and said, "Mrs. Zhu's family is really good at making trouble. They sing and sing for those scenes. I've been tired of watching it, so why are you happy?"

Xiao Yushi said: "I said that I have invited a famous actor today and sang Kunqu opera very well. I originally wanted to take a look. The wife said let's go back."

"I think it's just like this. Can you sing a flower?" Xiao disagreed. "You like to see, I'll ask their team to sing for a few days tomorrow. Let you all see."

"That's good, but we don't have money." Xiao Yushi smiled.

"Look? After the old lady left, you all stared at me. According to Yu'er's father, the landlord's family had no surplus food."

Xiao looked helpless, everyone laughed, everyone knew that his wife was happy. Everyone was competing to make fun of it now.

Xiao Yushi took the time to ask, "Why didn't Mingzhi come? I'm sick again?"

Xu Yu said, "I haven't seen it for a day, so it should be nothing." He turned around and ordered, "Chunliu, go and have a look." Chunliu responded and turned around.

At this time, Xu Yunsu said sweetly: "The past two days, the family has been very deserted. My wife has returned and the room is as lively as before."

Xiao asked with a smile: "What have you done these days?"

Xu Yunsu said: "It's nothing. Yesterday, Sister Lianyi's wife allowed us to join the poetry club. Thanks to Yunning and Yunyu, she wrote a few good poems."

"Really?" Xu Yu became interested and asked Yunsu to memorize it to him. Yunsu couldn't remember it clearly.

Xu Yu asked Yunning, and Xu Yunning glanced at Yunyu and said, "Don't be anxious, my sister-in-law will definitely show you."

Xu Yu coaxed, "Good sister, you have a good memory, please recite it to me."

Because Xu Yunyu smiled and didn't speak, Yunning couldn't recite it. She smiled and looked around, and just happened to Zhu Mingzhi come in. Xu Yunning immediately smiled and said, "Okay, she's here, please ask her to go."

Zhu Mingzhi didn't know what was going on, so he was stunned. Xu Yu laughed and she became more and more confused.

Xu Yunyu suddenly said, "The second brother wants to ask my sister, "Is it too late to find the fang?"

Zhu Mingzhi, who was inexplicably interested, blushed unnaturally and said softly: "I don't know." He walked over to pay his respects to Xiao, and Xiao asked: "How are you doing these days? You sisters have opened a poetry club. I'm very happy to recite a poem for me."

Zhu Mingzhi smiled and said, "It's all our nonsense, it's not considered a poem, so how can I recite it for my wife?"

Xu Yunyu laughed and said, "She wants her second brother to ask her to carry it before she can carry it."

Zhu Mingzhi chuckled unnaturally: "My sister said this amazingly. What's not mine? Why do you listen to him?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yunyu sneered, "This is even more strange. Who is he? Who is him? What is it?"

"I won't fight with you." Zhu Mingzhi's face turned red again and turned his back.

Xu Yunyu clapped her hands and smiled, "We all know that my sister's mouth has always been fighting with him."

This made Princess Deqing's face flushed with anxiety. She couldn't get out of Taiwan for a while, so she had to laugh and said, "Sister always makes me happy. I'll beat you up from now on, and I won't talk to the second lady again."

Xiao saw it and smiled. If Princess Yucheng could marry Yu'er, she would not care even if she was sorry for Lan Xiang. After all, this was related to the glory and wealth of the entire Xu family. Speaking of Xu Hao's ambiguous attitude towards this matter undoubtedly helped the whole family to have a high degree of consistency in their mentality in this matter.
