Ma Shiying's impeachment of Li Guopu was quickly sent, and he was really not untargeted, for example, he pointed out that Li Guopu had been in and out of the 'Wei Mansion', and he was 'very close' with Ni Wenhuan, etc., which are all well documented.

This naturally made Li Guopu very angry, and on the same day, he instructed Yushi to refute and join Ma Shiying.

Ma Shiying was alone, and immediately became a turtle with a shrunken head.

On the second day, Li Guopu's people still did not give up, and began to impeach Ma Shiying rhythmically, not only to drive him out of the Salt Class, but also to show loyalty to Li Guopu, in the hope that Li Guopu, who ascended the throne of the first assistant, would be rewarded for his meritorious deeds in the future.

Two days later, a shocking incident happened.

After nearly three years of being the first assistant, Huang Liji, who had the merit of the dragon, wrote to the official, and then, the Qianqing Palace ordered Shi Feng, who had just entered the cabinet, to come to the 'temporary cabinet', and Li Guopu did not ascend to the throne of the first assistant as he wished.

For a while, the government and the opposition were stunned, panicked, and at a loss.

Huang Liji, who was already the former first assistant, left the Qianqing Palace lonely, and returned to the cabinet step by step, ready to pack up his things.

He didn't take the initiative to give office, he was ordered to resign by Chongzhen.

There is no polite process of 'three on and three refusals', and there is no warmth and reluctance that monarchs and ministers should have, but persecution under the anger that does not hide the murderous intent.

Huang Liji's thin face was expressionless, but it gave people a sense of despair.

He came to the cabinet in a trance, and was just about to approach his class room, when two internal supervisors suddenly appeared, blocking his way, and one of them accompanied him with a smile: "Lord Huang, long live the lord said, you can go back to the house directly." ”

Huang Liji didn't know what the expression was on his face, he was silent for a while, and slowly turned around.

didn't take a few steps, and met Li Guopu head-on.

Li Guopu's expression was not much better than his, he thought that the first assistant throne was in his hands, but he didn't expect it to be him.

I don't know how many people are watching his jokes, and I don't know how many people are wondering if he has lost his saints.

Huang Liji didn't want to say anything to Li Guopu, but suddenly paused again and said, "Are you going to take Feng Quan?" ”

Feng Quan is also a cabinet minister, and his ranking is still above Li Guopu, but before Huang Liji, he has resigned in a hurry.

Before Chongzhen liquidated the eunuch party, he did not move the cabinet ministers, and now Li Guopu wants to arrest the cabinet ministers, maybe this 'tacit understanding' will also be broken, and no one will be spared from liquidating the eunuch party!

Li Guopu was full of irritability, and he didn't want to answer this question, so he said without grace: "You are leaving, why are you still asking this?" ”

The wrinkles on Huang Liji's face were like knife carvings, and he said lightly: "I may still be able to save a whole corpse, in the future, you will definitely be crushed to pieces, and there will be no place to bury you, so make some plans for your death." ”

After Huang Liji finished speaking, he left directly.

His steps were still a little empty, and his expression was in a trance.

He had expected this day for a long time, but when he really came, he was still indescribably complicated to leave the cabinet, his heart was empty, panicked, chaotic, and even a little nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Li Guopu didn't care about such a loser, and went straight back to his class room.

Sitting in the chair, his brows furrowed, his face irritated and restless.

He failed to sit on the throne of the first assistant, is it really the Qianqing Palace's dissatisfaction with him? Or does the Qianqing Palace really think that he is involved with the eunuchs?

Li Guopu was upset, and before the winter was gone, a trace of cold sweat broke out on his head.

He gradually understood that this person today is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes and will repay him, once he remembers it, the consequences are unimaginable!

Huang Liji, the once indispensable first assistant, has only been a long time, and he can only leave in a gloomy manner.

In fact, it's not as simple as 'leaving', Chongzhen once 'hinted' at him very directly, and Huang Liji is also a eunuch.

Huang Liji, I can't go.

Huang Liji can't leave, what about him Li Guopu?

Li Guopu leaned back in his chair, his expression a little erratic.

Bi Ziyan asked Zhou Qingli to the household department on the grounds of 'heavy political affairs in the household department', which is also what Chongzhen has always meant, so naturally he didn't stop it.

Zhou Qingli went to the household department, and everything about the 'Wei Zhongxian counter-case' was handed over to Li Guopu for review.

If it was a party struggle in the past, this was undoubtedly a great opportunity, and the powerful ministers could take the opportunity to crack down on dissidents, cultivate private individuals, and monopolize the government, but Li Guopu did not have such prestige or ability.

The intricate network of eunuchs made him at a loss and struggling.

Ni Wenhuan and Zhou Yingqiu are all hardcore eunuchs, undoubtedly; Wang Zaijin, Yan Mingtai, Yuan Chonghuan are all wall-riding factions, Donglin people have been protecting, Ye Xianggao, Han Huang and others are his predecessors and elders, and the current emperor respects them, he can't afford to offend!

It is too difficult to clearly arrest these people and release those people, and to satisfy the government and the opposition and the Qianqing Palace at the same time!

The government and the opposition are a pot of rotten porridge, no one can suppress it, and he has not ascended to the throne of the first assistant now, and he is unable to deal with the eunuchs!

Zeng Youlian came in from outside, looked at Li Guopu's tired face, hesitated and whispered: "My lord, I heard that the Zhou family and the Yang family have already negotiated. ”

Li Guopu frowned, remembered Ma Shiying's script, waved his hand impatiently, and said: "How can I have the heart to care about this, you let people tell Ma Shiying, let him do things with peace of mind." ”

Zeng Youlian listened, feeling a little unwilling, and said: "My lord, Zhou Zhengyun's appetite is too big, he ......"

Li Guopu's eyes widened and he said, "Do you have to ask Zhou Zhengyun to personally write a letter to impeach me!" ”

Zhou Zheng was the first person to participate in the overthrow of Cui Chengxiu, the one who opened the curtain of the fall of the eunuch party, if he goes to the book again, he will inevitably gather followers, Li Guopu's situation is not good, if he is attacked by the group again, it will not be trouble, it will be a big disaster!

Li Guopu no longer has any experience in officialdom and understands that Ma Shiying is Zhou Zheng's person, and Ma Shiying's public impeachment of him is Zhou Zheng's warning.

Zeng Youlian was startled, and hurriedly said, "Yes, my lord." ”

He didn't understand, why was Elder Li Ge afraid of a small cabinet secretary?

Although he didn't understand, he didn't dare to disobey Li Guopu.

Ma Shiying, who was originally in turmoil, Li Guopu no longer moved him, and Zhou Qingli was in the household department to protect him, and his status was suddenly as stable as Mount Tai.

That night, Ma Shiying came to Zhou's house with gifts and visited Zhou Qingli under the pretext of 'asking for advice on the maladministration of the salt class'.

Zhou Qingli knew that this Ma Shiying was Zhou Zheng's person and his subordinate, so he had a gentle conversation.

Out of the Zhou Mansion, Ma Shiying's heart was surging, looking at the starry sky, and muttering to himself: "With such a backer, I, Ma Shiying, will definitely be able to enter the house one day!" ”

Ma Shiying's side stabilized, and the negotiations between Cheng Jingye and others and Yang Huyi and Yang Huzhi were in full swing.

Zhou Zheng occupied an absolute position, the Yang family almost let him slaughter, Yang Huyi did not struggle much, and almost accepted the requirements of Cheng Economy and others.

Zhou's tooth shop was renamed 'Zhou's Chamber of Commerce', and under the chamber of commerce, as many as 12 trading houses were established in salt, tea, cloth, silk, porcelain, grain, acres, mines, etc.

Cheng Economy, Shangguan Xun, Liu Liuzhe, He Qishou, Wei Xizhuang and others were busy with their feet not touching the ground, on the one hand, they had to hire people on a large scale, and on the other hand, they had to take over various industries transferred by Yang Huyi, and then arrange people to go out, and there were too many things to count.

Zhou Zheng is in the mansion, the cabinet, and the Zhou Chamber of Commerce every day, but there is no tension in the past, he sits firmly in Diaoyutai and is already planning to leave Beijing.
