There is a strange phenomenon in the court or political system of the Ming Dynasty, that is, when the court is deliberating, the official can arbitrarily impeach any official, and even the emperor will be scolded for his blood. The impeachment of officials can be carried out without any evidence, and it is called "playing on the wind", even if it is wrong, it will not be held accountable, so many good officials have been innocently dismissed, especially when the party struggle is fierce. The accusations against the emperor are sometimes unscrupulous, and they can almost wash the emperor's face with saliva, especially when the emperor's proposition does not meet the interests of a certain aspect, and the officials or interest groups will take turns bombing the emperor.

In history, why the Wanli Emperor did not go to court for 30 years in the later period has something to do with this situation, when the Wanli Emperor's policy does not meet the interests of the party, he will be sprayed with saliva all over his face, such as the collection of mining taxes, which cannot be passed at all in the imperial court, so he can only use the form of mine supervisors to collect, and the household department is poor and cannot open the pot, and is unwilling to accept this tax, so he has to enter the inner treasury, and the Wanli Emperor has become a typical example of insatiable greed. In fact, what is the use of asking for so much money as an emperor? The final result was that they were used in the three major wars, when the collection of this tax was stopped, the next war money for the Jurchens had to be spread to the peasants, the common people were miserable, displaced everywhere, so there was a turmoil of displaced people everywhere, and then it became even worse, internal and external difficulties, and the good Ming Dynasty was cut off.

Even if it is the current Zhu Youxiao, he can't completely implement his policies in the court, for example, the mining tax, which was originally intended to let the government get the economic situation alleviated, but as a result, he could only tax his "Ming Imperial Trading Company" and take out his own money for everyone to spend, but they still have opinions, because Zhu Youxiao's result is very bad for their reputation, and the emperor has become a model of morality and robbed them of the halo above their heads. If the interests they represent must also be taxed in order to win the approval of the common people, they touch their highest interests, and they will gain nothing without the support of those people.

In order for Zhu Youxiao to implement his policies, he must change the current way of court discussion, that is, he no longer directly faces the mouths of the officials, he just raises his own problems to the cabinet personnel, lets them solve this problem by themselves, and then hands it over to the Sixth Ministry to implement. If the cabinet has no way to solve these problems, or if the cabinet personnel are unable to come up with solutions to the problems, it can only mean that these people are incompetent, they are all wine bags and rice bags, and the only way out is to resign and go home to retire and completely withdraw from the political arena. Zhu Youxiao's demand is that everyone must have their own point of view, and they must come up with a reliable and feasible plan for each person in view of the national interests, otherwise the cabinet members who have no own views for three times will be eliminated, and they will propose to go home to retire, and the old ones can still do this, but it will be a tragedy for the young cabinet members to do this, and fame and fortune will be lost. Even if a plan is negotiated by several people, it can be put into the sixth ministry as long as it can be approved by the majority of the people at the cabinet meeting. In order to prevent the introduction of a plan in which the interests of the group are greater than the interests of the state, it is clear that it has the absolute right of veto, so as not to damage the interests of the people, because they are the representatives of the interests of the state and the people.

Zhu Youxiao decided to make a clear policy about the unscrupulousness of the officials, and the officials must have solid evidence before they can impeach the officials, and once the impeachment is false, they will be held accountable, they will be punished for framing, and they must be held accountable for their actions. If the official is impeached three times untruthfully, he will lose his qualification as a speech official, and for each correct impeachment, there will be three consecutive opportunities for mistakes, and the speech official will receive 10 percent of the revenue from fines and confiscations for the income of corrupt officials. In the future, the Yanguan clique will become a real supervision yuan, which will specifically investigate and punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Since Sun Chengzong returned from Sichuan, he has been discussing with Zhu Youxiao how to smoothly implement the reform plan, Zhu Youxiao's purpose is very simple, that is, how to make his own development plan can be implemented smoothly, and Sun Chengzong is how to turn the idea into reality. Sun Chengzong carefully thought about the balance of power of the various political forces in the current court, and decided to seek Ye Xianggao's help, as for Han Yi and others, Sun Chengzong did not consider it, because those people were too closely related to the interests of the merchant groups in the south, and Ye Xianggao was basically split from these forces in the Suzhou market boycott. Now Ye Xianggao is in an embarrassing situation where he is not a person inside and outside, although he is still nominally the leader of the Donglin Party, but some of the lower people are no longer so interested in him, which is also one of Zhu Youxiao's strategies - to divide the Donglin Party.

Ye Xianggao himself is also an enlightened person, and he is also very open-minded, otherwise he would not have had so much contact with the missionaries from the West, and he has made a lot of friends, and he has a thorough understanding of Zhu Youxiao's various transcendent thinking, and knows that if there is no change, the Ming Dynasty will collapse. In history, he has served as the first assistant twice, and the result is that he was hollowed out by the cabinet members and the six ministries, which is related to his way of thinking and doing things, after serving as the first assistant, he wanted to change every time, but he was hollowed out by the conservatives within himself, and became the commander of the light pole, and both times he ended in resignation.

Now Sun Chengzong's purpose in finding Ye Xianggao is to let Ye Xianggao stand with him and support Zhu Youxiao's development plan in the staff team with decision-making power set up by the emperor in the future. Ye Xianggao has also been distressed about his embarrassing position, the first time he served as the first assistant, he was constrained by people from Zhejiang, Qi, and Shaanxi, and his own people were not strongly supportive, so he had to resign. This time as the first assistant, because of the Suzhou market boycott incident, and Han Yi made it so unpleasant, after all, Han Yi has been in the DPRK for a long time, and his protégés are all over the court, and he is pushed out as the first assistant and can't act according to his own methods, as if he is a puppet, especially Han Yi and Zhao Nanxing, the two of them joined forces to set up themselves, which made them helpless.

The arrival of Sun Chengzong quickly dispelled Ye Xianggao's troubles, Sun Chengzong was the emperor's most trusted figure, and with his support, he could not take the things that were set up in his heart, and Ye Xianggao was also a very smart figure, he clearly understood the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youxiao needs to change the current way of court discussion, so that his governing strategy can be implemented, which is consistent with the big goal of his dream of becoming a strong country. So, Sun Chengzong and Ye Xianggao hit it off, reached the intention of working together, and decided to work together to support Zhu Youxiao's idea of change.

Zhu Youxiao's goal has now been basically achieved, and the cabinet members of the Ming Dynasty have expanded to 25 people, except for the three royal cabinet members recommended by Zhu Youxiao, the rest are recommended by cabinet members and six ministries. The royal cabinet members recommended by Zhu Youxiao are Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, and Zhu Changhao, the king of Duan, who is not currently in the domain, and declares that if these three royal cabinet members are not in the capital, they can be represented by their sons, in fact, this is Zhu Youxiao is afraid that Zhu Changxun, the king of Fu, is too careful, and wants to send his son Zhu Youxiang to the Ming official school for training, so as not to eat like a pig.

For this decision-making body, Zhu Youxiao still asked Ye Xianggao to be the first assistant, and the second assistant was Sun Chengzong, followed by Han Yi, Zhao Nanxing, etc. Zhu Youxiao's system is that Ye Xianggao is in the middle, Sun Chengzong and Han Yi sit on both sides, and the rest sit on both sides of a long table, every time a topic is raised by Ye Xianggao, it is discussed by everyone, when a person speaks, others must remain silent, even if his point of view is surprisingly wrong, he must wait until he finishes speaking before refuting, no personal attacks are allowed, only things can be discussed, and those who do not follow the rules will be punished to stand outside the door and not participate in the discussion. The final vote on each item to be studied is decided by all members, and once a conclusion is reached, all cabinet members are responsible for it.
