At the beginning of the meeting, everyone spoke enthusiastically to express their opinions, although there were many people but the results were more consistent, a round down Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Jiang Yueguang was elected without any suspense, among which Shi Kefa relied on moral quality, accumulated military merits, and the prestige accumulated inside and outside the court was undoubtedly elected into, Gao Hongtu also relied on the important and deep connections of the household department, and was selected, but it seems that it is not enough to choose three, so everyone then thought, continue to elect and elect Zhang Shenyan, an old cadre of the Donglin Party, as the secretary of the ministry, This concludes the election.

Judging from the results, it was very satisfying, and the members of the cabinet were all the backbone of the Donglin Party, and they also took control of the officials by the way, obtained the human rights of use, and truly realized their very good and powerful wishes.

The Donglin party was very satisfied, and Xu Hongji, the head of the noble Wei who was invited to make soy sauce, had no objection to the results of the court election, and just as he was snorting and preparing to go home early to have fun with the beautiful concubine, a sharp and abrupt voice disturbed Xu Hongji's sweet dream.

"This town is going to enter the cabinet!" Liu Kongzhao said calmly, not caring about the surprised and incredible eyes of the surrounding ministers of civil and military affairs.

Shi Kefa originally thought that he had heard it wrong, but after seeing the reactions of other people, he was sure that he had heard it correctly, and he frowned and said, "There are no cases of ministers entering the cabinet in this dynasty. ”

The other ministers in the palace also felt that Liu Kongzhao's self-recommendation was very ridiculous, and they were also surprised by his cheekiness, and they all whispered to each other. There is no sarcasm in the words.

Just when everyone felt that this funny episode was about to pass, Liu Kongzhao suddenly said indignantly: "This town is a minister, because of the ancestral system, it is understandable not to enter the cabinet, Ma Yaocao has made great contributions, and it is a feudal territory with the seal of the military department, the name, qualifications, and meritorious service are enough, why can't you enter the cabinet!" ”

As his words fell, the hall suddenly fell into silence, and the Donglin Party had no words to deal with for a while.

It is the ancestral system that the heirs of meritorious heroes cannot enter the cabinet, no matter how much meritorious service they make, it is useless, but Ma Shiying is not a minister, he is a Jinshi born in the Eight Classics, and the name, qualifications, and meritorious deeds are also obvious to all, in order to prevent him from entering the cabinet, it is too difficult to find a good excuse, so everyone deliberately excludes him, deliberately does not mention him, does not recommend him, the purpose is not to let him enter the cabinet.

Now after Liu Kongzhao said this, it made everyone in the palace a little unable to get off the stage, and finally everyone had to say that Ma Yaocao should be rewarded for his meritorious service, so he agreed to Ma Shiying's entry into the cabinet.

Ma Shiying sat in a corner of the hall, watching everyone talk about it, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, but he was not exactly a puppet, and whenever someone looked at him, he would smile politely. The so-called stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, and it is inconvenient for the people of Donglin to find fault with him anymore.

The ministers of Donglin finally controlled the cabinet but suddenly inserted a Ma Shiying, no way, they decided to pull a few more Taoist friends into the cabinet, and if Ma Shiying dared to go against them in the future, he would drown him with a foaming star!

Under everyone's painstaking consideration, Liu Zongzhou, Xu Shiqi and other colleagues who are very friendly to the Donglin Party are also fortunate to enter the list.

After a grand court push, the leadership of the new dynasty was preliminarily decided

Zhu Youhua Yubi personally ordered Shi Kefa, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, as the first assistant, and Ma Shiying, the secretary of the Ministry of War, as the second assistant.

Gao Hongtu was given a scholar of the East Pavilion University and entered the cabinet.

Xu Shilin is still in the Criminal Department. Scholar of Tokaku University, entered the Cabinet.

Jiang Yueguang was given a scholar of the Ministry of Industry and a scholar of Dongge University, and entered the cabinet.

Lu Daqi was given a scholar of the East Pavilion University and entered the cabinet.

Zhang Shenyan served as the secretary of the ministry, did not enter the cabinet, and added a loose rank.

Confucianism, upright Liu Zongzhou served as the imperial history of the left capital, responsible for the impeachment and supervision of hundreds of officials.

In the entire leadership group, Donglin Party members occupy five important seats, and pro-Donglin Party occupies two, and only Ma Shiying is a non-Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party is strong, really strong!

When Zhu Youhua saw the list pushed by the courtiers, there was only one thought in his heart!

As far as the eye can see, the entire Nanzhili, whether it is incumbent, unemployed or retired; Whether it is in the court, in the opposition or squatting at home, there are Donglin Party members everywhere.

Needless to say, in the DPRK.

In the opposition, such as Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party and the servant of the Ministry of Rites, has been struggling to engage in public opinion propaganda on the second front and create momentum to guide public opinion.

In addition to the older generation of party members, the rising stars are also numerous, and the well-known Fushe in Jiangnan is the same clan of the Donglin Party, and the young Fushe children are the strong backing of the Donglin Party.

What a terrifying force this is!

Zhu Youhua felt a little chilling when he thought about it.

It seems that only one Ma Shiying in the cabinet is far from enough! If it goes on like this, sooner or later, it will be hollowed out and become a puppet!

Alone, he decided to pull a few non-Donglin ministers to Nanjing to assist him, so as to deal with the situation of the dominance of the Donglin family in the southern capital.

Taking advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne and giving everyone the opportunity to repay his merits, Zhu Youhua issued two central decrees in a row, the first of which was to reward the four towns of Jiangbei, his cronies and the ministers of the "Tingfu faction".

The entitles to the four towns of Jiangbei are:

Jin Jingnan Bohuang was awarded the Marquis of Jingnan, giving four hundred taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, one hundred taels of silk, a pair of bullfighting clothes, and the governor of the fifth army of Jin;

The general soldier Gao Jie Jin Xing Pingbo, gave 300 taels of gold, 3,000 taels of silver, 80 taels of silk, a pair of leather crowns, and the right governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army of Jin.

The general soldier Liu Liangzuo Jin Guangchangbo, gave 300 taels of gold, 3,000 taels of silver, 80 taels of silk, a pair of leather crowns, and the right governor of the capital of the five armies of the Jin Dynasty.

Dongping Bo Liu Zeqing Jin Dongping Marquis, gave four hundred taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, one hundred taels of silk, a pair of bullfighting clothes, and the governor of the five armies of the Jin Dynasty; Priority should be given to the rations and salaries of the department to be allocated as soon as possible.

For Liu Zeqing's reward, Zhu Youhua played a trick, and in addition to rewarding his merits, he took special care of his subordinates, intending to divide the relationship between him and the other three towns, which is only a preliminary small temptation, and he also has a series of follow-up moves, and after Liu Zeqing is successfully isolated by the generals, he will take care of him with righteousness.

In the original history, ten years after Chongzhen, Liu Zeqing often resisted and disobeyed the order, or made excuses, or simply ignored it, and the order of the imperial court to transfer troops was only regarded by him as a straw paper to wipe his buttocks.

In the second half of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's troops were very close, Chongzhen successively transferred troops and asked him to enter the king of Beijing Qin, but he ignored it, and when Li Zicheng's division Liu Fangliang hit Shandong, he heard the wind and fled, immediately went south, and slipped away.

On May 10 of the first year of Hongguang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, the prince of Qing Yu Duoduo besieged Yangzhou, Shi Kefa sent troops to rescue the towns, and Liu Zeqing chose to escape to Huai'an in the north. On May 23, the Qing troops broke through Huai'an, and the Huai'an area was expected to be smooth, and Liu sailed away. On the 24th day of the sixth month of the leap year, Liu went to Huai'an to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. On October 25, the fifth year of Shunzhi (1649), Zeqing colluded with the traitors in Cao County and plotted to commit misdeeds.

As one of the leading parties of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Liu Zeqing entered Zhu Youhua's blacklist early in the morning, and Zhu Youhua had reasons to purge and rectify him, regardless of public or private hatred. It's just that now the foundation is not yet established, the wings are not yet grown, and it is inconvenient to act rashly, and you need to think twice before acting, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable. The feudal town has a gun, no better than the scholar Wenchen, and a bad one will cause a civil war, allowing the Tartars to take advantage of the weakness.
