At the time of Haishi, Zhu Changzi urgently summoned all the old officials of the former dynasty in Hangzhou City.

Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Guowei, Zhang Yinli and other officials were all summoned.

In the main hall of the upper room of Prince Lu's Mansion, the officials were divided into two rows, with Zhu Changzi sitting in the main seat and Li Baojing standing beside him.

"Why didn't Ruan Jizhi arrive?" Zhu Changzi looked around and found that Ruan Dacheng was not there, so he asked Ma Shiying.

"When I return to prison, Ruan Jizhi is seriously ill and is bedridden, so it is really difficult to attend the meeting." Ma Shiying said with his hands raised. Ruan Dacheng has been beaten into a pig's head, how dare he come.

Zhang Guowei, who was sitting opposite Ma Shiying, glanced at the chief minister with a stern expression. He had already received a report from Hangzhou Youwei City Caojun guarding hundreds of households. Ruan Dacheng wanted to leave the city overnight and was captured by Chengcaojun. Ma Shiying rescued him in time.

Next, Zhang Guowei smelled something unusual.

Zhang Huangyan, who was sitting at the end, had a joking look on his face. He had already labeled Ruan Dacheng as a capitulator. If he wanted to escape, why not leave the Fengshan Gate in the south of the city. Ruan Dacheng did the opposite and went out from the Genshan Gate in the northeast. This was very strange.

It’s hard not to think that he is going to defect to the Qing army.

"Everyone, all the troops of the Qing army are gathering at Wukang and will soon attack Deqing. Therefore, since then, the whole city of Hangzhou has been on alert. Zhang joined me and how is the matter of moving the surrounding people into the city?" Zhu Changzi asked. This

Zhang Yinli had been doing this all along, clearing out the strongholds near Hangzhou City before the Qing army arrived.

"Reporting to the Supervisor, all the villagers from surrounding villages and towns have moved into the city for resettlement, and the rice that is about to ripen in the fields has been organized to be harvested by the villagers in advance." Zhang Yinli replied.

"Colorful!" Zhu Changzi couldn't help but praise casually. All the ministers in the seat were stunned.

"Yuji, is there any progress in recruiting troops?" Zhu Changzi did not pay attention to the slightly confused expressions of the ministers. What he was most concerned about now was the problem of the army.

"I have sent Chen Hongfan to the Zhejiang East Guards Station to recruit capable soldiers. I think there should be news tomorrow. After dawn, I began to recruit strong people in the city and mobilized the camp to guard the city." After dawn, King Qin issued an order.

The order should be spread throughout eastern Zhejiang, and volunteers from all over the country should also gather to respond. Zhang Guowei is still confident in defending Hangzhou City. The only thing he fears is the red cannon of the Qing army.

"Okay! Li Bao, let's declare the edict."

Upon hearing the sound, all the ministers knelt down one after another. Li Bao took a few steps forward, unfolded the silk, and began to read.

"...promoted Lu Ruoteng to the position of Zhejiang's Zuobu Chief Envoy to assist in the government affairs of Zhejiang."

"Fu Zhu Dadian was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, and was responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of War."

"Restored the Minister of Rites of the Zhou Dynasty to the Yellow Emperor, was promoted to the Grand Bachelor of Jianji Palace, and joined the cabinet to discuss affairs."

"Zhao Lu Zhenfei went to Hangzhou, where he served as the left minister of the Ministry of War, the right deputy censor of the capital, and the admiral of the defense of Zhejiang and Zhejiang!"

"Ren Gao Hongtu was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion, the Prime Minister Qianliang, and worked in the cabinet."

"Ren Jiang was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, and a cabinet director."

A series of appointments shocked Ma Shiying, who was kneeling in the leader's position. Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang were actually resurrected. When did they come to Hangzhou, he didn't get any news.

You must know that he and Ruan Dacheng jointly drove these two people away from the Hongguang court in Nanjing. Now they are all working in the cabinet. King Lu did this deliberately. He clearly wanted to evade himself.

There is still one person missing from the five-member cabinet. Ma Shiying is eager to know who the last one is.

At the end of the story, it was just that the scholar named Zhang Huangyan was specially promoted to be a military officer, and the last candidate for cabinet minister was not mentioned. Ma Shiying couldn't help but tilted his head slightly in surprise, glanced at Zhang Guowei, who was kneeling behind him, and instantly

Understand, this last cabinet position was left to Zhang Guowei by King Lu.

In this way, four of the five people in the cabinet are at odds with me, and I, the chief minister...

After reading out the appointment and dismissal edict, all the ministers expressed their thanks and stood up.

"Now that the country is in a difficult situation, the cabinet will start opening cabinet directors from now on. Ma Shoufu, I heard that your house is very beautiful with beautiful mountains and clear waters. The Cabinet Office will lend you your house for temporary use." Zhu Changzi sat upright on his chair.

, a light word frightened Ma Shiying, who had just gotten up from the ground, to the point where his legs softened and he knelt down again.

His house, Ma Shiying, originally belonged to a wealthy businessman in Hangzhou. After arriving in Hangzhou from Nanjing, Ruan Dacheng took a fancy to the garden, so he led his men to coerce and induce the wealthy businessman. The wealthy businessman was so frightened that he quickly dedicated the garden to Ruan Dacheng. Then,

Ruan Dacheng gave it to him again.

"I sincerely obey the order of the supervisor, and I am willing to spend all my family wealth for state affairs!" Ma Shiying hurriedly expressed his loyalty. He understood that King Lu must know how his garden came to be.

At this time, Zhu Changzi was holding a memorial in his hand, with a somewhat unknown smile in his eyes.

"Zhuang Daozhou advised me to take the throne as emperor. What do Ma Shouxu think?"

"I second the proposal!"

Ma Shiying understood that Huang Daozhou must have participated in the memorial that he persuaded him to enter. He secretly resented it. Why did he feel that he was becoming more and more aggrieved as he became the chief assistant?

"Step back, Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang should be waiting for you at your house to start the cabinet and govern the government." Zhu Changzi said, throwing the fold in his hand in front of Ma Shiying.

"Your Majesty, please leave!" Ma Shiying was sweating profusely at this time and did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly picked up the memorial and left in a hurry. When he was going out, he passed by Huang Daozhou and he gave Huang Daozhou a hard look.

Zodiac Zhou is as expressionless as an old monk in meditation.

After Ma Shiying left, all the ministers retired one after another. Zhu Changzi ordered Li Bao to call Zhang Huangyan and take him to the study to wait. He talked with Zhang Guowei for a while and learned about Ruan Dacheng from Zhang Guowei.

After Zhang Guowei left, Zhu Changzi came to the study.

"Supervise the country!" Zhang Huangyan stood up and saluted.

"Don't be formal, sit down! Xuanzhu, I heard that you once hit three arrows in a row when you tried shooting in autumn?" Zhu Changzi asked.

"Yes, I am good at bowing, horse riding, and shooting." Zhang Huangyan answered truthfully.

"You are both civil and military, good at military affairs, and very kind!" Zhu Changzi was overjoyed. That day Zhang Huangyan came to surrender, he felt that his temperament was extraordinary. Li Bao was also smart enough to check his person. Zhang Huangyan was in Ningbo Mansion and Shaoxing Mansion.

It has quite a reputation.

"Jian Guo is ridiculously complimentary, ridiculously complimentary!" Zhang Huangyan was a little embarrassed by the praise, and he was guessing at King Lu's intention of leaving him alone.

"Mysterious, since the Qing army went south, spies have penetrated everywhere, and many cities have been attacked by internal and external cooperation. The battlefield here is as important as the confrontation between the two armies." Zhu Changzi said with emotion.

"What the Supervisor said is absolutely true, Jin Yiwei should be strictly ordered to investigate and deal with it." Zhang Huangyan nodded in agreement.

Zhu Changzi glanced at Li Bao beside him. Li Bao nodded slightly, saluted, and retreated outside the door.

When Zhang Huangyan saw this, his heart tightened, the highlight was about to come!

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Changzi said solemnly: "The Jin Yiwei has become rotten and cannot be used for any purpose. I want to build a new department to be responsible for counter-espionage, investigation and military intelligence."

There was a "buzzing" sound in his head, and Zhang Huangyan's breathing became rapid. He swallowed and pinched his front shirt nervously.

"Xuanzhu, I want to use you to preside over this department." Zhu Changzi looked at Zhang Huangyan's young face, full of expectations in his heart. In Zhang Huangyan, the First Emperor saw the vigorous vitality, unlike most of the old officials of Hongguang, who

Full of twilight. The imperial court needs a new atmosphere and new blood.

"I am willing to die serving the country!" Zhang Huangyan was so excited that he prostrated himself on the ground and solemnly agreed. At this moment, the previous feeling of powerlessness like a headless fly with no way to serve the country disappeared, and was replaced by a surging passion.

.

"Get up quickly! With such loyalty, I believe that Xuan Zhu will become a pillar of the country in the future." Zhu Changzi helped Zhang Huangyan up and said with emotion.

"I serve the country of the Ming Dynasty, and I would like to be the Shang Yang of the Qin Dynasty and the Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty!" Zhang Huangyan said with chest heaving.

Shang Yang? Zhu Changzi was stunned.

"May I ask the supervisor, where does this department belong to and how many staff are there?" Zhang Huangyan asked.

"Affiliated to the Ministry of War, but only obeys the king's orders, and the number of positions is uncertain." Zhu Changzi had already thought about it. As the saying goes, when fighting against foreigners, you must first calm down the internal affairs. If you want to win, you must first eliminate traitors!

"I understand, I would like to ask the supervisor, what should be the name of this department?" Zhang Huangyan asked curiously.

Zhu Changzi thought for a while, came to the desk, spread out his pen and ink, picked up the jade pen, and slowly wrote three big characters: Black Ice Terrace.
