Li Hengbing knew very well in his heart that his entry into the cabinet was a threat to Zhou Zheng, and there were not enough benefits, and Zhou Zheng categorically would not agree.

He looked at Zhou Zheng, was silent for a moment, and said: "There is only one condition: the emperor will be an adult, the emperor will be an adult, and he will not return to power." ”

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows fiercely, staring at Li Hengbing fiercely.

Zhu Cihong is thirteen years old, and according to the rules, he should be in charge next year.

Zhou Zheng has been secretly thinking about this issue and has a plan. But he didn't expect that Li Hengbing would actually make a deal with Zhou Yanru with this behind his back!

From the bottom of his heart, Zhou Yanru also didn't want Zhu Cihong to be in power, but Zhou Yanru needed Zhou Zheng's consent to continue to hold power.

Therefore, he agreed to Li Hengbing, and the price was to agree to Li Hengbing and Li Juesi to enter the cabinet.

This kind of transaction is carried out behind Zhou Zheng's back!

Zhou Zheng looked indifferent, and said lightly: "You still have a chance, continue to convince me." ”

Li Hengbing saw that Zhou Zheng was not happy and angry, and his eyes were somewhat surprised, it stands to reason that Zhu Cihong is not pro-government, which is in line with Zhou Yanru's interests, and it will also make Zhou Zheng more satisfied.

Li Hengbing was a little uncertain in his heart, and was silent for a long time again, and said: "One month, let me enter the cabinet for a month!" A month later, if you are not satisfied with entering the cabinet, I will resign on my own. In a month's time, you won't even have this self-confidence, right? ”

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and said, "You still have one last chance." ”

Li Hengbing's eyes became solemn, Zhou Zheng's attitude was a little more than he expected, now Zhou Zhengquan is all over the world, with money, food and silver, he lacks almost nothing except that he is not the first assistant.

Li Hengbing was silent for a long time, and said: "I know, you have to do a lot of things, you need the emperor to come forward, especially when it comes to imperial power, clan, ancestral system, etc., I know you have scruples, I will be a wicked person to help you persecute the emperor, I will help you settle the revision of the Ming Law, the new rules of the clan, and the improvement of the ancestral system within a month of entering the cabinet!" ”

Zhou Zheng became more and more sure that Li Hengbing had other plans in his heart, and it was not small.

Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed, and his heart was quickly calculating.

There is one thing Li Hengbing said is right, that is, the court situation is under his control, even if Li Hengbing enters the cabinet, he will not be able to threaten him. Zhou Zheng has the ability to send Li Hengbing into the big guy at any time, or die silently.

Even if it's Zhou Yanru, it's the same.

'Interesting. ’

Thinking that Li Hengbing and Zhou Yanru reached this deal behind his back, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.

This is the so-called raccoon dog, colluding?

Looking at Li Hengbing's rare unconcealable nervousness, apprehension, and eager expression, Zhou Zheng pretended to be silent for a moment and said, "I'll give you three months, and by next year, I want to see your actions." In addition, on Yuansuke's side, I will also make a report, and I will give him another quota for the cabinet. ”

Li Hengbing's eyes widened slightly, staring at Zhou Zheng deeply.

gave him three months, and also increased the number of places for Zhou Yanru to enter the cabinet, is this a warning?

Not to mention him here, Zhou Yanru has two places in the cabinet, so the total number of cabinet members is eight, Zhou Yanru is the first assistant, and there are three iron votes, on the other hand, Zhou Zheng's side, Qian Qianyi seems to be upside down, but he still maintains a considerable distance, Yang Sichang's position is uncertain, and Li Banghua tries his best to seek neutrality.

Even if he Li Hengbing is added, Zhou Zheng's cabinet votes are only two votes, if there is really a big thing, Zhou Yanru can be pushed by force with the advantage of votes and the identity of the first assistant, and even, marginalized, and Zhou Zheng is over!

Li Hengbing thought of this, and suddenly felt a relative, since Zhou Zheng dared to be so laissez-faire, he must have enough back-ups!

Li Hengbing took a breath secretly and said quietly: "Okay." Don't worry, what I promised will definitely be done. ”

Zhou Zheng tilted his head, this one is getting more and more interesting.

Li Hengbing didn't say anything and got up to leave.

Soon after, Zhou Yanru knew the 'benefits' given by Zhou Zheng.

He was both surprised and suspicious in his heart, this good hand given by Zhou Zheng was hot!

But after thinking about it again, he decided to accept it, and one more cabinet minister belonging to him would inevitably increase his power and weaken Zhou Zheng at the same time.

Therefore, under many concerns, Zhou Yanru began to operate and arranged for people to recommend.

On the day Yang Sichang arrived in Beijing, Li Hengbing, Li Juesi, and Zhang Sizhi entered the cabinet, expanding the cabinet to eight people.

Zhou Yanru convened a cabinet meeting to redistribute various powers.

Zhou Zheng has been avoiding, and he actually has no specific rights in his hands, this time it is the same.

When Zhou Yanru discussed privately with Zhou Zheng, he hoped that Zhou Zheng could 'undertake', but Zhou Zheng politely refused.

Therefore, at the meeting, Zhang Sizhi and Li Juesi got the most important part, Yang Sichang and Li Banghua followed, but it was Qian Qianyi, and what they got was thankless.

In addition to Zhou Yanru, Zhou Zheng contacted the Ministry of War, Li Juesi contacted the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Sizhi and the Criminal Department, Li Banghua and the Ministry of Households, Yang Sichang and the Ministry of Works, and Qian Qianyi.

This time the distribution, except for Qian Qianyi, everyone was happy. Even the neutral Li Banghua has been allocated a lot of power, and it is still real power.

Yang Sichang seemed to be a person who couldn't sit still, and on the first day of returning to Beijing, he held a meeting, and then began to inspect the six departments.

If he just made a simple inspection, in the Ministry of Rites, he openly pointed out that some ancestral systems, the Heavenly Constitution was false, and it should be re-examined, and it should also meet the current needs, add the content of the law change, and strictly order the Ministry of Rites to come up with a new 'Ritual Law Dictionary' before the end of the year.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Industry, he criticized the Ministry of Industry's 'negligence' and demanded that the Ministry of Industry show a sense of responsibility, formulate a detailed plan, and not hammer the east and the west.

Then he went to the household department, he was in the household department for the longest time, listened to Gao Hongtu's report for half an hour, he patted the table, to the household department of a group of books, the waiter slapped the table, reprimanded for a while, and then asked the household department, on the existing government affairs, such as household registration, land, taxation, treasury revenue and expenditure, etc., modeled the Song Dynasty Wang Anshi's changes, special legislation.

Gao Hongtu and the others naturally could only respond, and they could not openly refute the ministers' normal 'instructions'.

Then, before Yang Sichang got off work at the military department, he blocked Zhang Heyi and other important members of the military department, summed up the 'military reform' in the lobby of the military department, put forward opinions, and ordered the military department to implement and improve the 'military reform' within two years in his capacity as a 'cabinet minister', and at the same time strengthen armaments and military training, and some lives were devastated, and even put forward the idea of 'limited military service', which is probably where conditions permit, all those who are recruited into the army should be trained for a period ranging from one year to three years.

After that, Yang Sichang also went to the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Officials, etc., and almost the same severe criticism, accusing these officials of being superficial and unwilling to pay attention, and also forced the new Secretary of the Criminal Department, Liu Zongzhou, to make a military order to strengthen anti-corruption and seriously deal with illegal acts.

At first, everyone thought that this Yang Ge had just returned to Beijing, giving a performance, showing a sense of presence, and gradually commented on the taste.

- Aren't these Zhou Zheng's changes? It is nothing more concrete, detailed, and comes up with some actionable ideas.

Yang Sichang, took refuge in Zhou Zheng?

This is the muttering that involuntarily came out of the hearts of the people of the capital, and then it was a little terrifying.

Some people can see from the configuration of the cabinet, if Yang Sichang falls to Zhou Zheng, then Zhou Zheng, Qian Qianyi, Yang Sichang, and Li Hengbing will occupy the absolute majority of the eight members of the cabinet, because Li Banghua is neutral!
