The ultimate goal of the Donglin Party's previous actions was that the Donglin Party wanted to form a situation in which the Ye Cabinet was in charge.

As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao must choose to be obedient.

After Ye Xianggao ascended to power, the Donglin Party will have more power to speak in the DPRK, but correspondingly, the pressure on the southeast to implement the new policy will also be reduced.

The new cabinet is not the same as the one who was completely in charge of the Donglin Party when he first took the throne, except for Ye Xianggao and Liu Yixie, Han Yi and Wang Zaijin are all doers wearing Donglin skin.

At the beginning, Xiong Tingbi was impeached, Fang Congzhe was excluded, and now Wei Zhongxian is promoted as a eunuch, these are all Donglin Party people who are rejecting dissidents and paving the way for Ye Xianggao to ascend to the top.

So no matter who you choose, as long as it's not Ye Xianggao, you won't be able to sit in this seat for long.

When he first ascended the throne, Zhu Youxiao had forced Fang Congzhe to stay at the court meeting, but later found that it was useless for the Fang cabinet to stay or not.

At that time, Fang Congzhe had long lost the role of balancing the situation.

However, Zhu Youxiao has another choice, that is, ignoring the results of Tingtui, and directly naming the person he wants to take the position.

This kind of thing, Emperor Wanli of Shenzong has done it several times.

However, the current situation is different, during the Wanli Dynasty, the Donglin Party was not at this point, and naming one of the remaining parties could directly play a role in suppressing Donglin and balancing the situation.

In the current situation, even if Zhu Youxiao names one, it is nothing more than another cabinet to be raised.

You must know that the cabinet, like the emperor, needs to have a force behind it if it wants to really speak effectively.

The reason why Fang Congzhe became a puppet and had to ask for his dismissal was because the Chu Party behind him had basically collapsed.

Now Zhu Youxiao does have the right to give up the results of the Donglin Party's court push and order anyone to come up, but this is useless.

When Fang Congzhe resigned, he didn't want this result.

At present, Wei Zhongxian has only been the commander of Dongchang for a few months, and the party in the DPRK and China has not yet developed, and there is no guarantee that an obedient candidate will be the chief assistant.

......

In the past few days, it has been the Ming Dynasty's routine three-day holiday.

After hearing the news that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had reinstated Ye Xianggao as the new head of the cabinet, in addition to the Ti Qi who went to deliver the decree, the threshold of the Ye family was also kicked out.

For many people, it is not surprising that Ye Xianggao was reinstated as the first assistant of the cabinet, after all, as early as the reign of Emperor Taichang, he had already decreed that he should be reinstated as the first assistant of the cabinet.

It's just that before the holy decree reached the Ye family, the emperor was gone.

Ye Xianggao once again got the opportunity to join the cabinet, his face was flat, but his heart was very happy, so he moved quickly, and he ran to Beijing to take office in a few days.

On the day of entering Beijing, the leader of the Donglin Party was warmly received by the Donglin Party, but there were still a small group of Donglin Party members who did not know what they were thinking and did not come.

Among them, the highest prestige belongs to the cabinet deputy assistant Han Yi, and the reason given is simple and clear, he is seriously ill and can't go.

On the bright side, Ye Xianggao waved his hand, as if he was fine, but he was still quite dissatisfied in his heart, and that night, Wang Tiqian came to Ye Xianggao's mansion and said that he was summoned by the emperor.

Ye Xianggao had no choice but to stop moving, and then dragged his elderly body and rushed to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint.

Before Ye Xianggao came, Zhu Youxiao also called a person, Lao Wei, who was interrogating the prisoner in the East Factory, and called him to play chess.

Lao Wei didn't dare to refuse, so he quickly changed his clothes and came over non-stop.

Wei Zhongxian had just sat down, and he was about to settle down in his hand, but after a glance, he suddenly found that the book of the Three Kingdoms that was often placed next to Zhu Youxiao was gone.

Instead, there is a book of "The Biography of Zhao Gao".

Zhu Youxiao put the book beside him, and his intention couldn't be more obvious, Wei Zhongxian's face was calm as usual, as if he was thinking about where he fell.

But in his heart, it was already a period of overturning.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao smiled and asked, "Zhongxian, is this Go so difficult to play?" ”

"Your Majesty, the first assistant of the cabinet asks Gao to see you!" Outside the door, a little eunuch bowed down and shouted.

Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly got up and said, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and call the elder pavilion to come in." ”

Seeing Wei Zhongxian's appearance as if he had been amnestied, Zhu Youxiao smiled in his heart and did not break it.

"Isn't it the Yuan Day holiday today, what is the reason why the elder came to me in such a hurry?"

Ye Xianggao was stunned when he heard this, didn't you call the ministers to come?

"Back to the emperor, the minister is for..."Speaking of this, Ye Xianggao suddenly saw that Wei Zhongxian was actually standing next to him wiping his sweat, and subconsciously changed his words:

"The minister misses the emperor too much."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed and motioned to the eunuch to move a chair for him.

Ye Xianggao had just sat down, but Wei Zhongxian suddenly said: "Emperor, since the elder pavilion is here, the slave and maid have a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Between you and me, there is nothing to hide, say." Zhu Youxiao didn't raise his head, his eyes were all on the chessboard.

Wei Zhongxian said: "The slave maid checked the scriptures this morning, and happened to see the closing record of the Red Pill case, and after a little inquest, she found that there was a big flaw. ”

Zhu Youxiao held a white chess piece in his hand, beckoned Wei Zhongxian to come over and continue playing, and said, "Oh, this matter is over, why did you suddenly mention it again?" ”

Having said that, Zhu Youxiao's heart is like a mirror.

He wanted to put Yang Lian to death, but he couldn't do it with the case of Donglin Academy alone, so he had to turn over old accounts.

Wei Zhongxian said: "Emperor, the slave maid thinks that Li Kezhuo's matter is strange. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced over here when he heard this, and as soon as the white son in his hand fell, he heard Wei Zhongxian applaud for a while.

As soon as the words fell, two little eunuchs came to the side hall, packed up the chessboard and replaced it with a new one.

In this gap, Zhu Youxiao leaned on the couch and asked, "According to what you said, what is the conspiracy of Li Kezhuo to offer red pills to the first emperor?" ”

Zhu Youxiao asked knowingly, the purpose was to give Wei Zhongxian room to answer.

Wei Zhongxian replied: "When the slave thinks about it, she just feels that her hairs stand on end. “

"When Li Kezhuo offered the red pill, he said that it was a gift from an immortal in the mountains, and the medicinal materials were all taken from the fairy land of Shenfu, which can cure all diseases."

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Xianggao again, and asked with pity, "I don't know what Elder Ge thinks about this?" ”

Ye Xianggao didn't say anything, Wei Zhongxian Dingqing looked at it and saw that he was actually asleep.

"Pavilion Elder, Pavilion Elder Ge?"

was slapped twice by Wei Zhongxian, Ye Xianggao woke up with an "ah", and said tremblingly: "The emperor forgives the sin, the old minister was a little sleepy after a bumpy ride all the way." ”

Wei Zhongxian glanced at him, and almost said the sentence "Don't act in front of this governor".

Ignoring the treacherous and cunning Ye Xianggao, Wei Zhongxian said: "This immortal in the mountains should be the key to this case, if you don't ask that Li Kezhuo in detail, I don't know if he is a trick for a while, or if there is really someone." ”

Ye Xianggao naturally knew in his heart that Wei Zhongxian's words were testing his meaning.

But he did not speak, neither in support nor in a word, and before long he began to fall asleep again.

Zhu Youxiao saw Ye Xianggao sitting on the chair, and almost fell headlong several times, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Wei Zhongxian naturally knew what Ye Xianggao was thinking, so he didn't break it, and said to Zhu Youxiao: "The slave maid thinks that if you want to investigate this case, you have to start with the attack case. ”

Hearing this, Ye Xianggao was shocked, he really didn't expect that Wei Zhongxian proposed to re-investigate the three major cases in front of him.

Catching up with such a thing on the first day of arriving in Beijing is really a sin!
