In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there are many reasons for the collapse of the country, but the party struggle is definitely the culprit.

The reason why Ye Xun supported Wei Zhongxian to suppress the Donglin Party at the beginning was that he did not want there to be another partisan dispute between the DPRK and China.

Now it seems that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and it is almost impossible to completely avoid party disputes.

Although there is no Donglin Party in the DPRK and China, the Liaodong faction centered on Ye Xun has unexpectedly formed its own party, and those old-fashioned officials in the DPRK and China have spontaneously hugged each other.

There are factional disputes in all dynasties, why in some dynasties, this situation did not cause any harm, but in the Ming Dynasty, it was not good

The reason for this is the problem of system and employment, and the key to this is two words, balance.

Don't look at these two words as simple, it's really difficult to do.

Li Zhiwen returned to his house, in his study, Wang Yin, Zhao Ying, Chen Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Qiyu and others were already waiting in his study, he was not at home, these people could enter his study, obviously these people were regular visitors.

As soon as he saw Li to ask back, Wang Yin was the first to ask: "What did Gonggong Ye say?"

took Shao Fuzhong, so that Wang Yin and the others realized Ye Xun's power again, and even when they mentioned Ye Xun behind their backs, their tone was much more polite.

"Wei Zhongxian's matter is over here, don't mention it again in the future, you will also put your mind on government politics in the future, don't always think about competing for favor with those people in Liaodong"

Li Zhiwen said with some hatred that iron is not made of steel, but his expression betrayed him, and it could be seen that he was still a little unwilling.

Chen Qiyu frowned and said: "Lord Li, it's not that we have to fight with them now, it's that they don't take us seriously anymore, Yuan Yingtai won't say it, and he can barely get it, but what qualifications do they have to enter the cabinet just because Ye Xun supports them, and in the long run, those cats and dogs in Liaodong don't all have to be promoted to the court."

Chen Yan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, also echoed: "So many officials in the DPRK and China have worked hard for many years, isn't it as good as their achievements in Liaodong for a year?"

Zhao Ying said coldly: "Do you have the ability to fight against Ye Gonggong, if not, change the subject"

As soon as they heard Zhao Ying's words, everyone closed their mouths, yes, behind these people is Ye Xun, Ye Xun does not fall, who can shake these people

Wang Yin suddenly said: "Lord Li is right, if we want to compare those people in Liaodong, we have to make some achievements, but the court officials are too low, can Lord Li be mentioned in the cabinet?"

Li was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that everyone is studying how to deal with those Liaodong officials, how did you pull out the matter of Yulu.

His eyes swept over, but he saw a trace of cunning flashing in Wang Yin's eyes, and he suddenly seemed to understand.

Li Zhiwen was originally in charge of the household department, he knew that there was not much silver taels in the treasury, and the emperor used a lot of it for the emperor's wedding last year, and this year's Cao silver would take a few months to be shipped over

Li Zhiwen knew Ye Xun's ability to draw money, but if Zhang Quan had to go to Ye Xun for everything, wouldn't it be too useless

Thinking of this, Li Zhiwen was just about to nod, but he heard Chen Qiyu say: "Master Li, Shao Fuzhong has been convicted, and I don't know who will take his place."

If you enter the cabinet, you may become the chief cabinet member of the ruling pen, who is not red-eyed

After Chen Qiyu finished asking, Chen Yan's eyes also showed eagerness, and it could be seen that he was also very interested in that position.

Li Zhiwen glanced at a few people, and then sighed and said: "Two adults, the system of entering the cabinet has changed, if you want to enter the cabinet, you need more than half of the cabinet members to pass, and finally the ruling minister will make the decision, we only have three people now, and there is a vote for Lord Yang Sichang."

When Li asked this, Chen Qiyu and Chen Yan understood, no wonder Lord Li sighed, and Lord Yang didn't seem to buy his account very much

When Li was waiting for a group of people to study the stumbling blocks for Liaodong officials, another heavyweight guest came to Ye Xun's mansion, the British public Zhang Weixian.

Ye Xun had an agreement with Zhang Weixian before, that is, to rotate the Jingying army with the Liaodong Army to achieve the purpose of training and strengthening the army.

But this matter is easy to say, but it is too difficult to put it into practice, first of all, those veteran generals disagree, because Ye Xun's move is equivalent to touching their bottom line.

In fact, Zhang Weixian knows in his heart that the bottom line of bullshit is that once the army is mobilized, many problems will inevitably be exposed, and these veteran generals will not be able to make a fortune by pointing at the army.

Another problem is the cost, although the Beijing camp does not have 200,000 troops, but it is still possible to make up more than 100,000 yuan, so many army transfers, the military salaries, grain and grass required are simply astronomical, Zhang Weixian can't take it out at all, and even he thinks that Ye Xun can't take it out, after all, the Liaodong Army needs money and grain for mobilization.

So Zhang Weixian came, because he heard that Ye Xun was going to marry his daughter-in-law, and he specially brought a lot of gifts.

In fact, Ye Xun already knew the purpose of Zhang Weixian's trip, he had been in the capital for more than 20 days, and it was almost the first month, but there was no movement in Beijing, which showed that the previous agreement between the two was afraid of change.

welcomed Zhang Weixian into the study, said a few simple greetings, and without waiting for Zhang Weixian to mention it, Ye Xun took the initiative to say: "I remember that the Duke of Prison has always wanted me to step on the deep pit of Jingying, I am ready, I don't know if the old Duke is ready"

Zhang Weixian smiled bitterly and said: "You kid, don't you know what tactfulness is, alas, I won't hide it from you, I'm afraid that the change of defense in the army will be slowed down."

The Ming Dynasty had a strict management system for the army, and the military department did not directly manage the troops, and although the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, which directly managed the troops, did not have the right to transfer them privately, it seemed that Zhang Weixian was indeed very difficult.

But Ye Xun knew that the kind of military system established in the early Ming Dynasty had already existed in name only by the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Don't talk about Liaodong, let's just say that this time to quell the rebellion of King Fu, when the emperor has been stupid by Ye Xun's medicine, Zhang Weixian can still mobilize people, which is enough to explain the problem, not to mention that the old Comrade Zhang also transferred troops to help Ye Xun take down Wei Zhongxian and his gang, so if Zhang Weixian can't mobilize people, Ye Xun won't believe it at all.

"Old Guogong, the so-called non-breaking and non-standing, if I am really a rebellious person, just rely on those garbage troops in Beijing, has the dynasty changed now?"

"Let me tell you this, I have stepped on this thunder in Jingying, you go back and tell those nobles that if anyone dares to obstruct me, I will have to transfer troops from Liaodong again."

Ye Xun's tone was very calm, but the threat was already overflowing
