Before leaving, Zhang Yanghao finally glanced at Zhang Ju extra.

Finally, he explained: "No matter what rumors spread outside, you don't have to believe them and guard this home!"

After explaining the last sentence, he got into the sedan chair.

Then, the sedan chair soon appeared at the Meridian Gate.

He is the Minister of Personnel and has the power to enter the palace at any time.

The Forbidden City is divided into inner palace and outer court.

The main location of the three halls is the outer court, which allows ministers to enter and exit, because many yamen are located nearby, and the cabinet is even in the palace.

However, the inner palace was the emperor's personal residence and no one was allowed to enter and exit without special order.

Following the Meridian Gate, he entered the palace directly. Then, Zhang Yanghao arrived at the cabinet.

At this time, the cabinet seemed very calm.

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, even if there was no emperor, everyone still performed their own duties. The world's report was sent to the cabinet for a ticket and then sent to the inner palace. The inner palace also had a corresponding organization, such as the Twelve Prisons. Whether it was the Sili Prison or the Imperial Male Prison, they actually corresponded to the imperial cabinet and various departments, and cooperated with each other, and finally handled the world's military and political affairs according to the rules.

To a certain extent, the emperor is more like an arbitrator, and he only needs to implement what he wants to promote.

After all, not everyone is Emperor Taizu Gao, and he has to ask about everything in detail.

Zhang Yanghao came. When the on-duty servants and clerks saw him coming, they immediately gathered around to salute.

When ordinary people come to the cabinet, even the small clerks in the cabinet can be arrogant. After all, this is the center. For ordinary officials to come and go, no one should look at the clerks here.

But Zhang Yanghao is different. He is the Minister of Personnel. Although he has not entered the cabinet, he is actually considered to be one foot in the cabinet. He also controls the world's personnel rewards and punishments, and has extremely heavy power.

So under normal circumstances, the actual minister of the Ministry of Personnel is often not allowed to join the cabinet. After all, if you have such great power, you still want to join the cabinet and participate in decision-making, which is terrible.

Of course, if the Minister of Personnel wants to be promoted, he often goes directly to the cabinet and becomes the prime minister.

Because of this, the people and the clerks knew Zhang Yanghao's weight, so they all went forward to salute as if they were pleased.

Zhang Yanghao nodded only: "Are you all on duty?"

"Mr. Huang, Mr. Sun and Mr. Liu are all here."

"Very good, I have a big report."

The clerks did not dare to be negligent and were busy asking for help.

After a while, when they arrived at the side hall of the cabinet, Huang Liji and the other two had arrived.

The four of them greeted each other.

As a minister, you must have the demeanor of a minister. Although you know that Zhang Yanghao is here, there must be an urgent matter, even so, everyone still seems to be slow.

After a few greetings, Huang Liji looked slightly trembling and said with a smile: "I'm old, but my health is not as good as before."

Zhang Yanghao said caringly: "Is Mr. Huang okay with eating at noon?"

Huang Liji said: "I only ate half a bowl of porridge."

Zhang Yanghao sighed and said, "Mr. Huang must take care of himself. People eat grains, and these grains are the foundation of human beings..."

Huang Liji pressed his hands down and then sat down. The clerk came up with tea. Huang Liji took a sip of the tea before looking up at Zhang Yanghao: "Zhang Butang is so hasty, why is it?"

It's time to get to the point.

Zhang Yanghao's face became a little more serious and said, "What happened."

Huang Liji: "..."

If something happened, you won’t say it earlier!

Sun Chengzong said with concern: "What's the matter?"

"That's right. Today I'm inquiring about a big incident. Someone rebelled. They colluded with Li Zicheng. A large number of Li Zicheng's people had sneaked into the capital. These people... are all extremely vicious people. Now... Li Zicheng has led his troops to Northern Zhili. You know, right? At this time, if there is another chaos in the capital..."

"Take it seriously?" Huang Liji frowned worriedly.

Zhang Yanghao said: "How dare you be fake?"

“Where is the news coming from?”

"It is the commander Zhou of the Five Cities Military Command."

Liu Hongxun said on the side: "Why didn't he report to the Jinyiwei?"

Zhang Yanghao said lightly: "The Jinyiwei is not thinking about it, not to mention that even if it is reported, people will not take my husband's warning seriously. Even if it is taken seriously, what can we do? God knows whether they know it or not."

After hearing this, Huang Liji nodded, and stood up and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

In the capital, the people who are responsible for guarding against rebellion are not just factory guards.

Huang Liji looked up and said, "How many people are involved?"

"It's as numerous as a cow's hair, but I'm afraid there are no less than a thousand people." Liu Hongxun said.

Huang Liji's face turned cold: "If this is the case, then it will be difficult to deal with. We need to ask the factory guards to discuss, and the person comes..."

A clerk came in a hurry.

"Go and invite the magistrate on duty in the Jinyiwei and the assistant minister."

"Here."

Zhang Yanghao said, "This matter is urgent. With the factory guard alone, it may not be able to be defended. It is better to... summon the five cities of military commanders, personal troops and generals of the Beijing camp. We have agreed that we can deal with it together at that time."

Huang Liji thought about it, and then exchanged a wink with Sun Chengzong and Liu Hongxun.

They seemed to have figured out Zhang Yanghao's thoughts. Zhang Yanghao obviously didn't want the credit to fall on the factory guards.

If you want to win the first merit, of course, the Five City Military Office, the Beijing Camp and even the personal guards are responsible for capturing the thieves, which may be better than the Factory Guards.

Although at this time, everyone was still thinking about who would get the credit, this was normal. After all, Zhang Yanghao exposed this matter first, and no one knew how much details Zhang Yanghao still knew.

If he doesn't follow his wishes, if he deliberately misses key details, it would be bad.

Huang Liji smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then do you think which people are summoned to the cabinet to discuss?"

Zhang Yanghao didn't hesitate and immediately took out a list from his sleeve and handed it to Huang Liji.

Huang Liji looked at the list and wanted to suck him with his big mouth.

This guy...he really wants to make a fortune and thinks he is crazy.

The list of handed over was eight out of ten, and they were all people who Zhang Yanghao had made friends with on weekdays. He wanted to steal all the credit for this.

Taking a deep breath, Huang Liji still pressed his temper rationally, thinking that time was urgent and it was more important to do things, so he said without delay: "Call them, hurry up!"

It was too late, so Wei Zhongxian came in person.

There was only one thousand household in the Jinyiwei. It turned out that Zhang Jingyi went to accompany him. Deng Jian, the Tongzhi, was in Nanzhili. Most of the other Tongzhis and assistant officials did not work in the Northern Fushi Office, but went to the bottom of the inspection, and there was only one left.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of civil and military officials were summoned one by one.

When Wei Zhongxian heard that he had discovered a rioter in the capital, his face looked a little unfair.

The factory guard did not discover it in advance, but you, the Minister of Personnel, discovered it first. If you say this, it is really a bit bad for the factory guard.

As for the Qianhu, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, after all, they are very gentle.

Huang Liji first asked the Qianhu whether the Jinyiwei noticed something strange.

Qianhu just said, "Nothing was discovered for the time being."

Huang Liji nodded.

When other civil and military officials arrived at the cabinet one after another, dozens of people came to see each other.

Huang Liji smiled and nodded to everyone, then looked at Zhang Yanghao and said, "Zhang Butang, tell me the situation."

When Zhang Yanghao saw everyone coming, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt as if he had a reassurance in his heart.

Then, he sat steadily, picked up the teacup, and then said word by word: "These days, the court has implemented the new policy, which is logically beneficial to the country and the people. The people are too hard. If the new policy can change the situation of the people, it will be a success for thousands of years. But over the years...ah... I'm to be honest, this new policy is really encouraging."

Huang Liji interrupted lightly, "Pick up important words."

"This is important." Zhang Yanghao said: "But, the new policies have always been good, but to promote the new policies to benefit the country and the people is ultimately a factor of humanity. If there is no wise ruler and wise minister, this new policy is just a mirror. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the current situation of the court now? Nine Thousand Years, Huang Gong, tell the truth, where has Your Majesty now... gone?"

Wei Zhongxian felt something was wrong at this time, and suddenly stared at Zhang Yanghao coldly and said sternly: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yanghao only glanced at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Is Your Majesty dead or alive, in the palace, or outside the palace? Now Li Zicheng is about to come to the capital. In the face of crisis, Your Majesty is gone, people are in panic, and ministers are suspicious."

Wei Zhongxian suddenly felt something was wrong, so he shouted: "Zhang Yanghao, how dare you do this, someone comes..."

"Who dares!" Zhang Yanghao shouted coldly, then rose up, his eyes shone with a cold light, and he asked sternly: "I am the Minister of Personnel. You are just a eunuch, and you dare to talk to me like this? Today's country has no lord. It is because of someone like you who bet on the emperor that you have this dilemma today. People... take down this eunuch!"

Wei Zhongxian: “…”

Wei Zhongxian wanted to sneer.

It means you are blind and don't look at where this is.

But who expected...

But one person shouted: "Yes."

Looking up, it was a commander of the Beijing Camp. In a moment, he rushed towards Wei Zhongxian like a wolf and a tiger.

Wei Zhongxian: “…”

Without waiting for Wei Zhongxian to react, the man had already grabbed Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian immediately shouted: "Come here!"

"I can't come!" Zhang Yanghao lowered his head and drank a sip of tea, and then said calmly: "You can't imagine that because we are involved in confidentiality, as usual, no one is allowed to stay within a hundred steps in this hall. Anyone who has spyed on military aircraft will be killed without mercy!"

Huang Liji suddenly arose and said furiously: "What's going on! Zhang Yanghao, what exactly do you want to do? And you guys?"

Zhang Yanghao spit out a sentence from his mouth without looking sideways, saying: "Clear the emperor's side, correct the rules and regulations, and follow the hearts of the people!"
