Chapter 363: New Dynasty

Listening to Li Bei's question, Ye Xun smiled.

"Lord Li compares me to Feng Bao, but he is cursing me for not dying well."

One sentence made Li Beiwen's old face red, and he hurriedly explained: "My father-in-law misunderstood, and the old man never meant it."

Before the words fell, he was interrupted by Ye Xun waving his hand.

"Master Li doesn't need to explain, I know who you are, if you really had that thought, you wouldn't be sitting in front of me today, I also know the purpose of your coming to me, in fact, if you don't come, I will also go to you"

"After the elimination of Wei Zhongxian's party, the structure of the court is bound to face reorganization, so I hope that you will come forward to form a cabinet, of course, I also have a few people who need to be arranged into the court."

Li Zhiwen was taken aback, he was the only official in the DPRK and the Central Committee, and it was normal for Ye Xun to insert a few people, but he just asked him to form a cabinet, which was a bit too unexpected.

According to the practice of the imperial court, cabinet members must first be university scholars before they can enter the cabinet, and now don't look at Li Zhiwen as a scholar of the household department, but not yet a university scholar, how does this make him form a cabinet, others may not believe him.

Ye Xun seemed to know what Li Zhiwen was wondering about, and continued: "The cabinet system needs to be changed, there is no need for any scholars, the six Shangshu are integrated into the cabinet, and the foreign government is appointed as the secretary of the temple and the inspector of the imperial history, and the right to approve the red of the celebrant is canceled, and the major affairs of the imperial court are voted by the eight-member cabinet."

No matter what is not absolute, if the eight-member cabinet does well, it can naturally continue, if it is not done well, Ye Xun can also dissolve it, as long as the military power is in hand, no one can turn the sky upside down.

Although Ye Xun's tone was flat, in Li Zhiwen's ears, there was undoubtedly a thunderclap.

There is no cabinet of scholars, a cabinet of eight people, and the right to approve red is abolished

Any one of these will be a bombshell, but it is foreseeable that as soon as the news comes out, it will definitely be welcomed by all civil officials, because the ultimate idea of civil officials is to offer the emperor with a board, and then they will have the final say on the major affairs of the court, and other creatures such as eunuchs will have to stand aside.

Now that Ye Xun is actually going to turn this matter into reality, doesn't he know what this move means

Holding back his excitement, he said, "Does my father-in-law have any plans to go back to Liaodong?"

Ye Xun shook his head and said: "Liaodong is the land of the Ming Dynasty, no one can divide it, I will return to Beijing, cancel the East Factory, and reopen the West Factory."

"Cheng Yu is the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Inspectorate, Yuan Yingtai is the secretary of the military department, Zhang Quan will replace you, you will be the secretary of the ministry, and I will not participate in the other candidates."

The ancients respected the left, and Cheng Yu served as the imperial history of the left capital, which is equivalent to the current supreme procurator general, and Zhang Quan replaced Li Beiwen, which was to grasp the financial power in his hands, needless to say, the Ministry of War, as for the officials in charge of the appointment and promotion of officials, it can only be served by Li Zhiwen, after all, he can be regarded as Ye Xun's person.

Li Zhiwen naturally understood the relationship, and it was understandable to install a descendant like Ye Xun, but he still frowned and said: "Lord Yuan's main military department is no problem, and Lord Zhang is barely okay, but Cheng Yu is a white body, if he is rashly in a high position, I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate."

Li Zhiwen's worries are not superfluous, although the entire Liaodong knows that Cheng Yu is Ye Xun's right-hand man, but he has never had a formal official position, and now he is like a rocket, not only directly into the Inspectorate, but also into the cabinet, do you let those officials who have survived all their lives be able to balance their hearts

Ye Xun doesn't care about those, Cheng Yu's ability is obvious to all, and he has always been loyal to himself before and after the saddle, if he doesn't reciprocate, wouldn't it chill people's hearts

"Cheng Yu is my sibling brother, Liaodong can have today, he is absolutely indispensable, now he is the prefect of Jinzhou, and he has entered the Inspectorate with the respect of the prefect, there is nothing that cannot be done, if anyone is not convinced, let him come to me"

Even the public and private words are a little bit more important, and the most important thing is the undoubted domineering attitude of Ye Xun when he speaks, looking at his current appearance, what kind of eunuch is it, it is clearly the momentum that only an emperor has.

Li Zhiwen was also shocked by Ye Xun's domineering, and nodded: "After returning to Beijing, this official will start arranging"

"Do you know Gu Feng?"

Li was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook his head, he was a civil official, although he also cared about Zhu Changxun's movements, but he didn't know much about Zhu Changxun's subordinates, and thought that Ye Xun was asking about the court official.

All kinds of information about Zhu Changxun's subordinates have long been investigated, this Gu Feng is known as a Jiangnan celebrity, but in fact there is no such person at all, and Zhu Changxun's head has been kicked by a donkey, so he will obey him, and in the end, I am afraid that he will be sold by this guy, and he will have to help others count the money.

Based on the information obtained, this Gu Feng, who was hidden next to Zhu Changxun, was definitely not a simple person, otherwise he would not have committed such a tragedy as the robbery of Zhending, this person had a great plan, and he had to be careful to prevent it.

Ye Xun's subordinates are not gods, and Xu Hongru has always been secretive, so he has not found out that this Gu Feng is Xu Hongru.

Li Bei couldn't get involved in this question, so he asked him to go to Beijing first, and the appointment of officials had to be arranged in advance.

After Li asked to leave, Ye Xun ordered someone to find a map.

The sand table in Liaodong has long been completed, but now Ye Xun has to take care of more than Liaodong.

It is conceivable that if Zhu Changxun's army cannot be annihilated in the capital, then the remaining rout troops may be transformed into chaotic soldiers, and then poison all places.

Ye Xun only had 20,000 horses around him, and although there were many troops in Liaodong, Huang Taiji had not been destroyed, so he could not be mobilized on a large scale.

There are a lot of troops in the capital, but they are all military households that lack combat effectiveness, and they are not handy at all.

Ye Xun's gaze swept over the map, and finally fell on the Yellow River, it is winter, and the Yellow River cannot play a role in blocking the enemy's natural danger, but if the rout army escapes across the Yellow River, it is possible to go deep into the south, and the south is rich, and the rout army can flee for their lives while plundering, which not only harms the place, but also strengthens themselves.

Therefore, they must not be allowed to escape the Yellow River, and it seems that they have to talk to Zhang Weixian

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, the 20,000 Liaodong Army finally arrived in the capital, but Zhu Changxun's men and horses were still stationed in Zhending, and it seemed that they were planning to celebrate the New Year in Zhending.

Zhang Weixian had already prepared the barracks, and the people of the capital also showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of the Liaodong Army.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, since the Liaodong Army has been stationed, every day there are rich gentry and businessmen in the city, who have sent all kinds of daily necessities to the camp of the Liaodong Army, called the Labor Army, but when they leave, many rich gentry will also leave their names, as if they are afraid that Ye Xun will not know who sent the things.

Ye Xun knew that these rich gentry and businessmen had the most sensitive sense of smell, and there was such a big incident in the capital, and many people were implicated, and at this time, the Liaodong Army suddenly appeared in the capital, obviously these people were looking for a new backer.

When the army is stationed, there are naturally a lot of things to be busy, and the first thing Ye Xun, as a courtier, has to do is to go to the emperor to say goodbye
