People in Zongwu: Starting with the Yin Gui Sect

Chapter 325

"Selection?"

Wu Yu had never expected that Concubine Liu had called him here for a selection to find a wife for him.

"Why did Concubine Liu suddenly think of selecting a selection for me? Did she hear some rumors from the outside world?"

Wu Yu had to think about it. After all, he had just rejected Cheng Jiming's proposal to ban the newspaper, and then Concubine Liu wanted to select a selection herself. He would never believe that there was no shadow of the Donglin Party behind this.

But he had already cleaned up the inner court, so how could people from outside still pass the news into the palace?

As if she had seen through Wu Yu's thoughts, Concubine Liu explained, "Don't think too much, Jian'er. There are no traitors in the palace. It's just that someone in the palace accidentally heard someone discussing this matter when they went out to buy things."

Before Wu Yu could speak, Concubine Liu continued, "Also, Jian'er, don't you want to change the Ming Dynasty? If so, why not fulfill the wishes of some people? As long as you can successfully give birth to a few children at that time, it can also reduce a lot of resistance.

Wu Yu was silent. He really didn't think much about this kind of thing. After all, he was only seventeen years old now. If he were in the future, he would not have reached adulthood, let alone get married.

But this is ancient times after all. Let alone seventeen, there are many people who get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen.

In addition, the ancient times valued inheritance the most. Imagine if an emperor didn't even have descendants, how could the people of the world know him? If they think so, will they think that his policies are perverse and anger the heavens, so they don't leave him any offspring.

If that's the case, then they will have to question the actions of the new emperor, so no matter how you look at it, this show is a must.

And when it comes to the show, Wu Yu somehow thought of Qian Qian. He clearly remembered that the other party had said that they would move to Daming with their entire clan after solving the problem of Cihang Jingzhai.

But now that more than half a year has passed, there has been no news about the Yingui Sect's migration. Could it be that something happened that he didn't know about, such as a shameless old thing intervening in the affairs of the Yingui Sect and Cihang Jingzhai, which led to the Yingui Sect's failure to take over Cihang Jingzhai.

"It seems that I have to pay close attention to this matter after I go back."

"Brother Jian? "

Seeing Wu Yu was slow to speak, Concubine Liu thought Wu Yu was angry.

"I am fine, Concubine, don't worry. Since we need to select a beauty to calm people's hearts, then select it. This matter will be left to Concubine Tai to take full responsibility."

Since the matter of the beauty selection cannot be avoided, Wu Yu will not avoid it. He just needs to leave a position for Xianxian in the future.

"Okay, okay, I will arrange the matter of the beauty selection for your majesty, so that the people of the whole Ming Dynasty can also share in this great event of universal celebration."

After saying that, Concubine Liu didn't care about Wu Yu and left directly to prepare.

"It's just a beauty selection, what's the big deal!"

Shaking his head and not thinking about it anymore, Wu Yu wandered around the harem. After all, this was the first time he really came to the harem after he ascended the throne. However, when he passed a remote palace, he couldn't help shuddering.

"Fuck, what is this place? Why is there such a gloomy place in the palace? Where is Wang Daban? Where did he die? "

Rubbing his arms covered with goose bumps, Wu Yu began to look for Wang Chengen.

"I'm coming, sir, I'm here!"

Hearing the emperor calling him, Wang Chengen, who had been following him from a distance, ran over immediately.

"What the hell is this place, why is it so gloomy?"

"Sir, this is the cold palace!"

"Cold palace?"

Wu Yu himself didn't expect that he would end up in this place, no wonder it's so gloomy!

"By the way, who lives in this cold palace?"

Although it was deserted, there were indeed signs of living activities, so Wu Yu asked which concubine of the previous emperor lived here?

Wang Chengen didn't dare to hide it, "Sir, Concubine Jia lives in this cold palace! "

Then Wang Chengen told Wu Yu the information of the owner of the cold palace. It turned out that this Concubine Jia was the concubine of his dead father Zhu Changluo.

Originally, she had committed a capital crime, but because the dead father acted too quickly, there was no time to deal with it. After Zhu Youxiao came to power, he devoted himself to carpentry work and ignored this matter. Over time, this Concubine Jia stayed in this cold palace for seven years.

After saying that, Wang Chengen asked in a low voice: "Master, do you want me to go in and tell this Concubine Jia to come out and pay homage to you?"

"What's there to pay homage to? I don't want to stay in this damn place for a second."

Raising his hand to stop Wang Chengen's action, Wu Yu turned around and left without looking back. Who knows if a person with long hair covering his eyes and a face covering his eyes will suddenly come out from inside.A pale-faced female ghost.

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Wu Yu continued to review memorials. Soon, a memorial from the cabinet caught his attention. It talked about the addition of cabinet members.

Because he had previously cleaned up the eunuch party, three positions in the current cabinet were vacant, especially one of them was the second assistant.

So the cabinet members headed by Huang Liji hoped that Wu Yu could add new people to the cabinet.

As for the candidates, they also gave several references, including the former cabinet chief Han Yu, the former right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites Qian Qianyi, the current Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Bi Ziyan, the current Nanjing Minister of Rites Wen Tiren, the current Minister of the Ministry of War Sun Chengzong, and the current right assistant minister of the Ministry of War Li Banghua.

Not bad, at least not all of them are Donglin Party members. It seems that Huang Liji and Li Biao are still very powerful, but there are only three positions. Who should be given them? First of all, the two from the Donglin Party are definitely not good enough.

Just kidding! There are already two Donglin Party officials among the cabinet members. If there are two more, who will have the final say in the cabinet?

Since those two are not suitable, one of the remaining four must be eliminated.

First of all, Li Banghua is definitely not suitable, because he has offended almost all the nobles in order to reorganize the Beijing camp for himself. If he does not protect him, there is only one fate waiting for him. It is not his style to kill the donkey after it has done its job.

And Sun Chengzong cannot be eliminated either. After all, this person is also a member of the Donglin Party on the surface. Keeping him can give everyone a false impression that he still trusts the Donglin Party.

After thinking about it, Wu Yu finally eliminated Bi Ziyan and kept Wen Tiren.

As for why he kept this person, it is also very simple, because he is neither a member of the Donglin Party nor any other party, but a lone minister, and even more a veteran. Such a person is perfect to be a lackey.

Not only did Wu Yu enter the cabinet, he also promoted him to the Minister of Personnel, the head of all officials.
