After a long talk, Chen Yue explained his idea of governing the country to Princess Kunxing, and Princess Kunxing gradually became clear from the confusion at the beginning.

"All in all, if the Ming Dynasty wants to be truly prosperous, it is not as simple as exterminating the thieves and expelling the Manchus, but it needs to be truly rich and strong, rather than the current poverty and misery of the country. However, the wealth of land is always limited, and when the gentry occupy more, the common people will occupy less, so it is inevitable that the gentry will receive food in one piece.

However, now Daming is worried about internal and external troubles, and he has to temporarily appease them, and he has to be humble and wronged. Chen Yue sighed.

Princess Kunxing nodded: "It's okay, take your time, we're all still young." ”

"But there is one thing I want to ask for your understanding, and that is the Zheng family's business.

Han Zanzhou has already confessed that he leaked the affairs of the three princes to the Zheng family, which led to the killing of the three princes, so the Zheng family has committed a heinous crime, but you also know the princess, the current Zheng family is entrenched in Fujian Province, and Zheng Zhilong is the general army of Fujian, with more than 100,000 troops in his hands and thousands of warships, and his power is huge.

If the real reason for the murder of the third prince is announced, it will definitely force the Zheng family to rebel.

The Zheng family is located in the southeast, and the naval army is strong, and it is not easy to quell the rebellion. Zheng Zhilong was originally a pirate, if he sailed out to sea with his subordinates and disturbed my Daming coast for the pirate attack again, his trouble would be no less than the rebellion of the Western Thieves.

So I want to keep the cause of the death of the third prince secret, and attribute all this to Manchu, and ask the princess for your understanding. ”

For Princess Kunxing, of course, the person who hates her brother the most is the person who killed her brother and caused her father to have a stroke, Han Zanzhou is one, and it was the Zheng family who directly killed the third prince, Chen Yue didn't want her to have a misunderstanding.

Princess Kunxing was very calm, "Ah Yue, what are you going to do?" ”

"Before His Majesty had a stroke, Han Zanzhou had framed Li Guofu for colluding with Manchu to kill the three princes, let's follow Han Zanzhou's statement, put the charge on Manchu, and then announce it to the world, so that the Zheng family has nothing to do with the killing of the three princes.

And Zheng Zhibao sent troops to fight with me on Shi Kefa's orders, and now that I have reconciled with Shi Kefa, there is no need to target Zheng Zhibao again, so I will release Zheng Zhibao and the others in a few days, Zheng Zhilong will naturally not suspect it.

Although Zheng Zhilong and I have some festivals, it is just a competition in the sea trade business, not to the extent of your life and death, now that I have been crowned king, and the relationship with you is known to the world, Zheng Zhilong will definitely not dare to be my enemy again, and most of them will think of reconciliation and resolve past grievances.

When the time comes, I will summon all the general troops in the world to report on their work in the name of the imperial court, and then take the opportunity to take Zheng Zhilong, and then attack Fujian with a large army, completely destroy the Zheng family, and avenge the three princes! Chen Yue revealed his plan to Princess Kunxing.

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and this palace can afford to wait for some time!" Princess Kunxing nodded and agreed to Chen Yue's plan.

......

The next day, Shi Kefa sent a message to the princess of the prison country, saying that he was the only one left in the cabinet at present, and asked the princess of the prison country to agree to make up a few cabinet ministers to assist him in handling government affairs. After experiencing the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Duo, the old pavilion, was disheartened and afraid of being implicated, and had already played a request to Zhishi, and Princess Kunxing agreed to his request when she saw Wang Duo's insistence.

And the second assistant Qian Qianyi felt guilty because of the matter of the Tang King, so he stopped at home and asked the court to find out his fault. And Shi Kefa means that Qian Qianyi is not guilty, and he should continue to serve as a cabinet member.

The princess of the prison country sent someone to invite Qian Qianyi back to the cabinet, and at the same time agreed to Shi Kefa's request to elect several more cabinet ministers.

According to the practice of the imperial court, the promotion of scholars to the cabinet must be nominated by an official of the third rank or above, and then all the senior officials of the court of the six ministries and Jiuqing are recommended by the court, and only with the consent of more than half of the senior members can they be eligible to enter the cabinet.

Lu Zhenfei, a former university scholar, and Gao Hongtu, a scholar of the household department, were recommended by several officials above the third grade, and these two places were naturally the result of the game between Shi Kefa and Chen Yue.

The results of the court push were not unexpected, Lu Zhenfei and Gao Hongtu were supported by more than half of the court officials. So Shi Kefa asked people to report the results of the court to the princess of the prison country and asked the princess of the prison country to agree.

The princess of Jianguo quickly approved it and agreed to the cabinet addition submitted by Tingtui, but to everyone's surprise, behind the names of Lu Zhenfei and Gao Hongtu, the princess of Jianguo added another name, but it was Wang Yin, the secretary of the Ministry of War!

It is the practice of the Ming court to push into the cabinet, but in addition to the court push, you can also enter the cabinet by the decree, that is, the emperor directly appoints the cabinet scholars, and the princess of the prison country acts as the imperial power, so she naturally has the power to appoint scholars.

Of course, for the backbone ministers, many people are ashamed of the appointment of the central decree, and most of them will resign from becoming a university scholar when they encounter such a situation. But for Wang Yin, he only has the fame of raising people, according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty that non-Hanlin is not allowed to enter the cabinet, if he takes the normal way, he will not want to enter the cabinet in his life. And Wang Yin himself doesn't care about any face, he will be the enemy of the Donglin Party sooner or later, and he will be the enemy of the Donglin Party, so he happily entered the cabinet and became the fifth scholar after Shi Kefa, Qian Qianyi, Lu Zhenfei, and Gao Hongtu.

The cabinet has made up for the five cabinet elders, each of whom has its own responsibilities, and the government affairs of the imperial court have also entered the formalization. In the matter, Xiong Rulin played a game, and in response to the matter of the Tang King, the three legal divisions should be formed to conduct a trial and jointly determine the Tang King's plan for chaos.

After discussion by the cabinet, Xiong Rulin's performance was agreed, and it was announced that the three law divisions would be formally formed, and the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate and the Dali Temple would jointly try the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, Jin Yiwei also handed over the arrested criminals Tang Wang, Zheng Zhibao, Fang Mingxia, Liu Kongzhao, etc. to the Criminal Department, and unexpectedly, the criminal Han Zanzhou died suddenly in prison, and it is rumored that he committed suicide by biting his tongue......

So there was an impeachment of Liu Neng, the commander of Jinyiwei, in the imperial history, saying that Jinyiwei was seriously derelict in his life, resulting in important criminals dying in Jinyiwei Prison, but Liu Neng retorted with a big grin, saying that there are not 1,000 but 800 criminals who have died in Jinyiwei Prison over the years, what is the matter of dying a birdman? What's more, Jin Yiwei has already recorded Han Zanzhou's confession, and it doesn't matter much whether a person is dead or alive.

With the confession provided by Jin Yiwei, plus the results of the interrogation of the three divisions, the case of Tang Wang was that the criminal Liu Kongzhao and Han Zanzhou tried to seize the throne while Chongzhen was seriously ill. Many ministers have been deceived without knowing the truth, and all the charges have been taken by Han Zanzhou and Liu Kongzhao, and Han Zanzhou is dead, Liu Kongzhao's whereabouts are unknown, and the imperial court has issued a sea fishing document, and Liu Kongzhao is wanted all over the world......
