12 The Cabinet's counterattack

The decrees were drawn up one by one, and Hu Guang looked at them one by one, and if he was not satisfied, he immediately asked to rewrite them. It was busy until noon that he finished writing a few holy decrees.

Hu Guang's body has been working hard all day long, and he was still up all night last night, although he is young, the accumulated fatigue is not fake. By noon, my stomach was growling.

As the saying goes, people are iron and rice are steel, and only when you are full of food and drink can you be healthy can you have a revolution...... The capital of being the emperor. Hu Guang thought in his heart, and immediately patted his ass and left.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The ministers led by Shoufu Han Yi bowed down one after another. In everyone's heart, there is a feeling of relief.

"Ding, achievement value +1, from Shoufu Hanyi!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the second assistant Li Biao!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the cabinet minister Qian Longxi!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the cabinet minister's life!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the cabinet minister Zhou Yanru!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the Ministry of War, Shangshu Shen Yongmao!"

Hu Guangzheng was walking, heard a continuous and pleasant "ding" sound, and saw the lower left corner of the chat group, achievement value: 56, and couldn't help but be happy.

But he didn't expect that this was not over, and the system's prompt sound would sound again immediately.

"Ding, achievement value +5, from the eunuch Cao Huachun!"

"Ding, achievement +1, from the eunuch Xiao Lizi!"

"Ding, achievement +1, from the eunuch mustache!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the palace maid Qiuyue!"

"Ding, achievement +1, from the palace maid Haruka!"

“……”

Hu Guang hurriedly glanced at the lower left corner of the chat group and found that the achievement value finally stopped at 76. Dare to love is that these eunuchs and palace maids who are serving on the platform this time are shocked by their performance.

Thinking of this, Hu Guang couldn't help but regret it, he had known that if this was the case, the pomp should be bigger, standing with him a dozen hundred and eight eunuchs and palace maids, even if everyone gave a little achievement value, there were hundreds, what a mistake!

While summing up the lessons learned, Hu Guang went to lunch with a little regret.

And here, none of the ministers paid attention to the military general Man Gui, and under the leadership of the first assistant Han Yi, they silently returned to Wenyuan Pavilion. No one had the heart to eat, they were all thinking about Emperor Chongzhen's words and deeds. The other cabinet members such as the secretary office saw that something was wrong, and they did not dare to speak out one by one, trying to minimize their sense of existence.

For a long time, in the quiet cabinet, a long sigh suddenly sounded. Everyone looked, but found that it was Shoufu Han Yi who seemed to be much older, and after sighing, he reached out to get the brush.

When Qian Longxi saw it, he hurriedly got up from his seat, strode over and asked with concern, "Who are you?" ”

Han Yi glanced up at him, he didn't know what to convey in his eyes, and seemed to be depressed and said: "The old man is old, and his energy is low, so the old man will write a resignation letter, planning to return to his hometown!" ”

As soon as they heard this, all the cabinet members, regardless of their positions, looked at them with shocked expressions.

The second assistant Li Biao's face changed even more, and he suddenly stood up and scolded those clerks: "You all go out!" ”

In this case, everyone knows what's going on. But even if there was a heart of gossip, no one dared to keep it, and hurriedly responded.

As soon as these people left, Li Biao immediately walked in front of Han Yi and said sincerely: "The first assistant is serious, the cabinet can't do without you!" ”

Although he coveted the position of the first assistant, Emperor Chongzhen had made a series of decisions that shocked the court just now, and as an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, he would definitely be under pressure from the civil and military officials, the emperor's relatives and nobles. In particular, the first assistant of the cabinet is the first to bear the brunt. finally let Han Yi be the scapegoat first, and after blocking this wave, it is not too late to take the position. Therefore, he spoke out for the first time.

He didn't know this idea for the old and sophisticated Han Yi. The reason why he wants to return to his hometown now is that he knows that he should be the first assistant, so why bother to carry this pot. Don't you Li Biao want this position, just give it to you.

Here is thirty-seven years old, Zhou Yanru, who has just entered the cabinet, is the most tender, although he also hopes that these ministers who are pressing on him will get out one by one, but this is an extraordinary period, and he has no bottom in his heart, so he doesn't want these bigwigs to leave at this time.

He heard the meaning of Han Yi's words, and he should have been angry with the emperor's words about scolding his old man, so he hurriedly followed and persuaded: "Your Majesty is also unintentional, please don't mind the first assistant, put state affairs first, and tide over the difficulties together!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qian Longxi's body suddenly shake, and then he held his forehead and seemed dizzy, which attracted the attention of others.

"Elder Qian Ge, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Yanru was next to him and hurriedly asked with concern.

Qian Longxi waited for a while before slowly replying: "The old man is unwell, and he has been holding back. Just ......"

When he said this, he paused and said with a regretful face: "I'm old, it seems that I have to recuperate for a while." ”

As he spoke, he slowly turned to his seat, and was about to write something, apparently taking a leave of absence.

Cheng Jiming watched from the side, and couldn't help but feel very disdainful in his heart. Among these cabinet members, he was the largest, seventy-one, but he didn't say that he was too old to be used, and he saw that two of them wanted to use this reason to take leave or return to their hometown.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the emperor's decision in the morning, especially the part with meritorious fame, should also participate in the defense of the city, otherwise he would pay money and food, which would inevitably offend too many people. Han Yi and Qian Longxi were already worried about being implicated because of Yuan Chonghuan, how could they offend more people.

If they retreat like this, the emperor will be sad on his side, and the other person will also be sad. Thinking so, he turned his gaze to Jisuke.

Sure enough, Li Biao saw that Han Yi and Qian Longxi were not persuaded and were writing, so he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The emperor is still too young, and he is impulsive, but he makes the ministers of the humerus discouraged. Such things, marked and punished, must also be written to discuss an explanation. Otherwise, there is no shame in the position of secondary auxiliary. ”

When Cheng Ji saw it, he sneered in his heart. He didn't say anything, just watched what happened. If three cabinet ministers are vacated at once, the emperor will definitely be in a dilemma.

Anyway, the emperor didn't know what was going on, and he suddenly became so aggressive and arbitrary. It's also good that they do this, so that the emperor can understand some truths.

Besides, Cao Huachun silently followed behind Emperor Chongzhen and walked towards the harem. With more time to think about it, it made him panic a little inside.

Emperor Chongzhen gave him a very heavy task, and made it clear that if this matter is not done well, don't say that the positions of the eunuch Bingbi and the governor of Dongchang cannot be guaranteed, even their lives may be lost. But this fact is not easy to do, if you bury your head in doing it without saying a word, it is likely to do things badly, and it is a bit big to bear the pressure of civil ministers and military generals and royal relatives and nobles alone, what should I do?
