It rained and it was fine.

Xie Jianze went up, panting lightly, covered with a soft woolen cloak, and Meng Zezhi, who was as warm as a stove, was very comfortable.

As if thinking of something, he realized it later: "By the way, your legs?"

When this man was holding him just now, he walked steadily.

Meng Zezhi slammed it, it would be better if he could have a cigarette to smoke at this time: "I'm not lame, I lied to them."

This they obviously also include him.

"Yeah." Xie Jianze replied in an angry voice. Although he had already prepared himself mentally, when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Realizing that he seemed to have said something wrong, Meng Zezhi narrowed his eyes and hummed, "Last night, Concubine Hui sent someone to ask me to discuss the status of those concubines in the East Palace."

Concubine Hui Taigui is the former Concubine Hui, the biological mother of the former eldest prince Qin Yu. Right now, she has the highest status in the harem. In addition, on the night of the New Year's banquet, Qin Yu complied with him, and Meng Zezhi reassured her to leave the harem affairs to her.

Hearing this, Xie Jianze tensed up instantly.

Meng Zezhi stroked his smooth and delicate back and said, "What I mean is, those concubines who have children are all named madams or Liuyi, those who fail to give birth to children, and those who are willing to stay in the palace, can be named casually. A low-ranking position is enough, if you don't want to stay in the palace, I will give them a generous dowry to remarry."

It was custom-made in the early years of the destiny. In the harem, under the queen, Concubine Hui, Concubine Li, and Concubine Hua were established as the three ladies, and they were ranked first; Shuyi, Deyi...Fangyi, considered sixth, and ranked second... Shang Gong, Shang Yi, and Shang Fu were two of them, and they were five-ranked women.

He also appointed Baolin (rank 6), imperial daughter (rank 7), Cainu (rank 8), 27 people each, a total of 81 royal wives, as low-ranking concubines.

After the five dynasties and ten countries with frequent wars, the population of the Central Plains has dropped sharply. In order to restore the population as soon as possible, the court still advocates the remarriage of widows and women, and rarely mentions the festival of women's precepts.

Hearing the word remarriage, Xie Jianze seemed to realize something, and his heart jumped like a deer.

Then I heard Meng Zezhi say lightly: "In the future, no one will enter the palace. Before... I haven't been fortunate to anyone else since that day in the paddock."

"I said that if this happens, I will not be responsible for editing it."

In addition to Qin Shuzhi, there are four sons and four daughters in the predecessor, the eldest is already seven years old, so there is no need to worry about the issue of children.

Joy and excitement poured out from his heart like a flood that broke a dike, Xie Jianze's nose was sour, and his eyes were instantly red.

Meng Zezhi couldn't see this, he said, "Look, it's snowing."

"Eh." Xie Jianze was easily distracted by Meng Zezhi's words. He got off Meng Zezhi and looked up at the hole in the roof. White snowflakes fell from the sky in a whirl.

At this moment, the world is quiet.

He couldn't help leaning beside Meng Zezhi, enjoying this rare tranquility.

Good, he thought.

The next day, the eunuch Zhao Quan came to report again: "Your Majesty, Master Yuan, Master Xie and other six adults are asking to see you."

"Please come in." Meng Zezhi said, "Go and invite King Xiang and Duke Ying."

After he ascended the throne, he changed the title of King of Yan Qin Yu to King Xiang.

"Yes."

"Wei Chen meets His Majesty."

"Exemption."

As soon as Qin Yu and the others arrived, Meng Zezhi threw a shock: "I want to set up a cabinet and a military aircraft office."

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, and the head of the Xie family immediately went out of work and asked, "Dare to ask your majesty, what is the meaning of the cabinet, and what is the meaning of the military aircraft department?"

"The so-called cabinet is to lead the government affairs of the court, set up the first assistant of the cabinet, and act as the prime minister."

"The cabinet has the right to vote, and it is in charge of approving and responding to various government affairs petitions in the five ministries and hundreds of departments. If minor matters are undecided, the ministers of the cabinet vote directly, and if major matters are undecided, they will be reported to the emperor."

"The other emperor's edicts and central decrees all came from the cabinet."

The meaning of these words is clearly that any edict that the emperor wants to issue must be approved by the cabinet.

As a result, the power of the cabinet is great, one can imagine.

Isn't this just in line with the idea that the scholar-bureaucrat and the emperor of the aristocratic family govern the world together, Patriarch Xie and the others barely suppressed the excitement in their hearts.

Meng Zezhi continued to say: "As for the number of ministers in the cabinet, it is tentatively set at seven, including two from the royal family, two from the aristocratic family, and the remaining three are selected from the five books, and the first assistant in the cabinet is also selected from these three. select."

This is the bright and bright sharing of the fruits of victory with the family and Xungui.

"Auxiliary ministers in the cabinet are all appointed and dismissed by the emperor, the first assistant in the cabinet is ranked first, and the rest are ranked second."

Having said this, Meng Zezhi took the tea on the table, poured two sips, and continued: "Change the military department to the military aircraft department, the commander-in-chief of all military affairs, and the emperor's straight palm, and there are five other military aircraft ministers, also by the emperor. Appointment."

Military and political separation.

Xie Family Master and others couldn't help but think of these four words.

The British public is determined, it is no wonder that there is no honorable quota in the cabinet. It turns out that it is waiting here.

Later generations called this a dualist constitutional monarchy, which means that under the premise of a constitutional monarchy, the power of the emperor is greater than that of the cabinet.

In Meng Zezhi's view, as long as the emperor has soldiers in his hands, the cabinet cannot be overturned. Moreover, with the supervision of the cabinet, the emperor can also avoid making unnecessary mistakes.

People naturally have no opinion on this.

"In addition," Meng Zezhi raised his head and looked at the Xie family head and the others: "This success depends a lot on the efforts of various families. I think that the strength of those guards is not inferior to that of the forbidden army, so why don't they stay in the forbidden army and continue to serve me? already."

He remembered that when he was discussing the rebellion with the family, in just a few minutes, the family gathered 70,000 soldiers and horses for him, of which 40,000 were guards that the family kept in private.

At first, they were feared by Emperor Tianming because of their great power, but now it was Meng Zezhi's turn.

Patriarch Xie and the others looked at each other in dismay, and smiled bitterly in their hearts.

It's just that they just got the benefits, so naturally they should show something.

"Since Your Majesty has spoken, how dare you not obey."

"Then it's settled. The specific matters will be discussed again tomorrow morning."

It's not that Meng Zezhi trusts the aristocratic family, it's because he doesn't have a few useful people, and he also knows that too much use of the aristocratic family may lead to serious polarization in the country in the future, and the government will be dominated by the aristocratic family, but in a short period of time, he It is necessary to use the hands of the aristocratic family to remove the forces of Emperor Destiny in the court one by one, and to balance the forces of King Xiang Qin Yu, so there is nothing to do.

As for the future, let's plan later.

Two days later, when the Huijing Hall was cleaned, Emperor Tianming and Qin Shi's family moved in. The hall is made of agate stone, which is the most luxurious and gorgeous.

Anyway, Meng Zezhi had already got what he wanted. Even in order not to carry a reputation for being unfaithful and unfilial, he had to take care of the Emperor of Heaven, and fortunately it didn't cost much money.

As for Qin Shi, let him be free for a few more years, Meng Ze knew that he was in no hurry.

A month later, the cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department were established one after another. The first assistant to the cabinet was Zhang Yitai, the Minister of Officials and the Prince's Taifu. He had taught his predecessors for several years. Put it there, and the body is still okay. Meng Zezhi didn't need him to make much political achievements in office, as long as he didn't make any mistakes, it would be fine until He Xingjian could be on his own.

He Xingjian was the person who first exposed the Lianghuai illicit salt case, and also Meng Zezhi's appointed next chief assistant.

On the royal side, the ones who entered the cabinet were King Xiang Qin Yu and Duke Wei Qin De.

Qin De is the concubine of Emperor Tianming. From his title, it can be seen that his relationship with Emperor Tianming is not very good.

His ability is average, but he is quite honest, and if he uses it to recharge, it is barely enough.

On the aristocratic side, the ones who entered the cabinet were the Xie family head and the old man Yuan.

Although Yuan Shi had put a green hat on his predecessor, Meng Zezhi had a good sense of the Yuan family.

As for Xie Jianze, Meng Zezhi promoted him to be a member of the Zhongshu Sheren and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.

Two months later, Meng Zezhi had two more abdominal muscles on his lower abdomen.

In the afternoon of March in Yangchun, Xie Jianze climbed off the dragon bed with soft legs, spread out the "Notes on Living", and skillfully made up the story: On a certain year, month, and day, the emperor read "Returning Home Puppet Book", and wrote a poem with some experience. Two songs, one text.

The author has something to say:

Homecoming puppet book

He Zhizhang

The youngest left home and the eldest returned, but the local accent did not change, and the hair on the temples faded.

Children who do not know each other, smile and ask where the guests come from.
