Gao Hongtu, the head of the household, is in charge of the money bags of Nandu, and his status is only under Shi Kefa, and his qualifications and prestige are also only under Shi Kefa, not to mention that he now has the full support of Donglin, and it is naturally logical for him to enter the cabinet.

But for Ma Shiying, who wants to enter the cabinet and become the first assistant, this is out-and-out bad news, there are only a few ministers in total, since Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu have already accounted for two pits, when will he qualify?

He finally realized Donglin's absolute dominant position in the southern capital, although Li Mu, Chen Liangbi, Guo Weijing and other old friends were watching him, but now no one dared to be the first to stand up and speak.

After launching the two candidates of Shi Kefa and Gao Hongtu, Zhao Zhilong, the commander of the Nanjing garrison, also said: "I took a look at the list, and Mr. Jiang Yan and Mr. should also be in the cabinet!" ”

Gao Hongtu, the head of the household who had just become an escort, immediately took over the topic: "Jiang Yan and Mr. Jiang are famous all over the world, and they should indeed enter the cabinet!" ”

Jiang Yanji is Jiang Yueguang, and now Zhan Shi is in charge of the seal of the Nanjing Hanlin Academy, and in terms of seniority and prestige, this Donglin boss can indeed enter the cabinet, but he has a fatal problem, that is, he is particularly enthusiastic in the process of the Fulu dispute, and he is a candidate who Donglin extremely supports Fuwang but is unwilling to accept.

That's why Donglin deliberately asked Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong to nominate Jiang Yueguang, and now Gao Hongtu, who is not Donglin, opened his mouth to support Jiang Yueguang, Jiang Yueguang naturally rose in momentum, and everyone said: "Jiang Yueguang should be in the cabinet!" ”

"That's right, Jiang Yanhe should be in the cabinet!"

"Jiang Yan and his voice are hopeful, how can he not enter the cabinet?"

Zhang Shenyan, the acting secretary of the Ministry of Officials, who presided over the meeting, is also a Donglin boss, so he naturally can't refuse another Donglin boss to enter the cabinet: "Jiang said that everyone is looking forward to it, and everyone has no objections. ”

Lu Daqi, the left attendant of the military department, agreed: "Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, and Jiang Yueguang will all be good ministers, and the position of Tsukasa Zai should be Zhang Tianguan!" ”

"Tsukazai" and "Heavenly Official" both refer to the Ministry of Officials, although the Southern Capital is still ranked first in the Ministry of War, but everyone knows that after the cabinet is in place, the Ministry of Officials will return to the position of the first person in the six departments.

At the time of the national change, Nanjing's Ministry of Officials was just vacant, but it needed to be presided over by the Ministry of Officials, so King Fu designated Zhang Shenyan to act as the Secretary of the Ministry of Nanjing to preside over this meeting, and now Lu Daqi not only finalized the list of ministers who would push the ministers, but also Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, also had to be corrected.

Zhang Shenyan, as the acting secretary of the Ministry of Justice, who presided over the meeting, naturally wanted to push and concede: "This is not necessary, Zhang is already an old man, and he only wants to be old in the position of the general constitution!" ”

The general constitution is the imperial history of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zhang Shenyan's current actual position is the imperial history of the right capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, which can only be regarded as a "deputy constitution", but Zhang Shenyan is indeed qualified to say this, he is now nearly seventy years old, and his age is one or even two rounds older than Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang, and Ma Shiying.

However, Gao Hongtu disagreed with Zhang Shenyan's opinion: "Shenyan, when the country is in trouble, it is an old adult like you, why don't you come to the cabinet, and I will be the secretary of the ministry!" ”

Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, immediately said: "Duke Zhang's cabinet and the Ministry of Gao Gong are also very suitable, but since Gao Gong has been publicly recommended to enter the cabinet, it is better to follow the original proposal!" ”

Everyone felt that what Wei Guogong said was extremely true, Zhang Shenyan was an acceptable plan in all respects, and Donglin was even more enthusiastic, thinking that this was a perfect solution.

Now Ma Shiying finally understands the specific operation ideas of Donglin, if Donglin has occupied a relative advantage in Nanjing, now they have co-opted Gao Hongtu and Wei Guogong Xu Hongji, Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, and completely controlled the entire promotion process.

Gao Hongtu has always been known for "not attaching to Donglin", his qualifications and prestige are extremely high, and his protégés are very old, so he and Donglin naturally can't stop him.

Not to mention that Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and Zhao Zhilong, the Bo of Xincheng, have a lot of influence among the ministers, and the three of them naturally pushed whoever they wanted, and directly finalized the candidates, but the problem is that now Ma Shiying has been squeezed out of the list of people who will be pushed by them.

This is too embarrassing for Ma Shiying, he originally wanted to enter the cabinet and become the first assistant by virtue of his decision-making skills, but now he is directly squeezed out of the court push list, not to mention the first assistant of the cabinet, even the cabinet can't get in, and now he is really anxious.

Not only is he anxious, but Ma Shiying's protégé is also anxious for him, but the stakes are so high that he dare not be the first to stand up, in case he messes up, it will completely ruin Ma Shiying's plan to enter the cabinet.

However, although Wang Sunfan had an agreement with Ma Shiying, he was still in the mood to watch a good show, and immediately whispered two words: "Bu!" ”

Ma Shiying was finally relieved to hear Wang Sunfan say this, although he was not a witness to the divination case, but he knew the details of the divination case well.

Wang Sunfan reminded him that Huitui is not the final outcome, and the final decision on the selection is in the hands of King Fu, maybe King Fu will make a special appointment or even directly issue a central decree, even if this court push does not have him Ma Yaocao, will Donglin dare not let him enter the cabinet next time?

But he also knew that this was just a good wish, and this time he couldn't enter the cabinet because of his decision-making efforts, how many chances could he have next time?

But what to do?

And Liu Yongxi didn't expect Donglin to stage another divination case.

However, Donglin has always had a historical record in this regard, and Tianqi and Chongzhen Donglin lost power twice politically, both of which were related to the manipulation of Tingtui.

In a sense, Donglin made not a "political mistake", but an "organizational mistake" in the real sense, so he completely lost the emperor's trust afterwards.

In the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the governor of Shanxi will be promoted, and Guo Shangyou has been drafted by the Ministry of Officials at that time, and Yin Tonggao and Pan Yunyi, who were born in Shanxi, also think that Guo Shangyou is the best candidate, but Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Wei Dazhong must recommend Xie Yingxiang, who has a relationship with them.

Donglin's Huang Zunsu had dissuaded Zhao Nanxing and Wei Dazhong many times, thinking that it would cause a big disaster, but Zhao Nanxing and Wei Dazhong were determined to elect Xie Yingxiang, which eventually led to Donglin's complete defeat in the Apocalypse Dynasty.

Chongzhen's second annual meeting pushed the list of cabinet ministers, and Qian Qianyi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and his disciple Qu Shiyun teamed up to manipulate the Huitui to prepare to build a pure Donglin cabinet, which not only squeezed out Wen Tiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but also deliberately squeezed out Zhou Yanru, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who also belonged to Donglin, so that Cheng Jiming, who was close to Donglin, became the No. 1 positive pusher, and Qian Qianyi became the second-ranked escort.

Qian Qianyi originally thought that he would be able to enter the cabinet, but Emperor Chongzhen was already suspicious when he saw that there was no Zhou Yanru on the list, and Wen Tiren, who was unknown on the list, borrowed money from Qianqiu to impeach Qian Qianyi and questioned the fairness of Tingtui.

In the end, it was naturally a chicken and egg fight, not only Qian Qianyi was dismissed, but the Donglin Party also lost power for a long time, until the fourteenth year of Chongzhen and the eunuch party joined hands to operate Zhou Yanru's recovery, which is the famous "Bu case".

And the current situation is almost the second Bu case, Donglin has completely controlled Tingtui after joining forces with Gao Hongtu, Xu Hongji, and Zhao Zhilong.

Ma Shiying finally made up his mind, he gave Liu Kongzhao a look, and Liu Kongzhao understood what Ma Shiying meant and was about to stand up, when he heard a loud voice say: "What you adults say is good words, but I want to add one point, that is, I think my father's sincerity Uncle Liu Kongzhao should also enter the cabinet!" ”
