There has been no big court for a few days, and there is no small court meeting in the Wenhua Palace, and another important reason is that there is no first assistant in the current cabinet. The second assistant of the cabinet www.biquge.info Li Guowei was busy with the eunuch case, the cabinet minister Sun Chengzong was busy preparing for the construction of the Zhili Governor's Mansion, and the first assistant Shi Fenglai finally went on the fold of self-impeachment and waited for it to be dealt with at home.

The reason why Shi Fenglai folded his self-impeachment for the third time was because there was really no way, and in just a few days, there were more than 10 excerpts in the letter to impeach his party for attaching Wei Wei.

Zhu Daming also felt that now that the most important layouts have been completed, the replacement of the first assistant will not have much impact on the government, so after not sending a dozen or so impeachment of Shi Fenglai as the eunuch in the middle of the stay, he personally approved the last one "I know", and then transferred it back to the cabinet.

Shi Feng came to see the emperor's attitude, and knew that this time I was afraid that it was enough, and the emperor was going to give up on him, if he didn't fall in love again, the consequences would probably be even more serious. So after the third fold of self-impeachment and asking to return home, Shi Fenglai honestly stayed at home.

Zhu Daming did not say anything about Shi Fenglai's plea, but just wrote the word "read", and was transferred back to the cabinet by the celebrant supervisor. However, there is only one person in the current cabinet, Li Guowei, and I don't know what the emperor means when I think about it. However, Li Guowei knew very well that Shi Fenglai was indeed a peripheral member of the eunuch party, and among the account books and letters confiscated from Wei Zhongxian's mansion, there was Shi Fenglai's "letter of loyalty". However, the emperor's attitude is quite interesting.

Zhu Daming's idea is actually very simple. Of course, he knew that Shi Fenglai was on the side of the eunuchs, but at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he did not want a strong cabinet, and the weaker and weaker the foundation of the first assistant, the more beneficial it was to him, the newly enthroned young emperor. This is also the reason why Zhu Daming has always kept Shi Fenglai and even Li Guowei.

After the fall of Wei Zhongxian and other core backbones of the eunuch party, the cabinet ministers who were suspected of being eunuchs on their backs certainly did not have enough authority to do it against the emperor's will.

First Huang Liji, and then Shi Fenglai, both of them were members of the eunuch party, but it was their existence that blocked the attack of the courtiers for Zhu Daming's various unconventional practices.

Many of the so-called Qingliu among the courtiers often opposed any actions of the emperor that did not conform to the way of the sages in the name of the laws of the ancestors or the principles of heaven and the people. But they were not stupid and knew that they could not offend the emperor while attacking their political enemies. Countless historical facts have taught them that if they do, then they must be failures.

Zhu Daming also knew this, so keeping Shi Fenglai was to set up an imaginary enemy for them, so as to gain time and space for his own series of layouts. Now, it's been a success. Now the Donglin Party members in the DPRK and the non-Donglin Party members who advocate the elimination of the eunuch party seem to be unable to bear the position of the former eunuch party member.

Although Zhu Daming didn't want to be swayed by the courtiers, he was also unwilling to be the enemy of most courtiers for the sake of a Shi Feng. At the same time, after three months of observation, Li Guowei is also a good candidate for the first assistant. This is what Zhu Daming thinks.

The emperor's attitude towards Shi Fenglai was very important to Li Guowei. Now he is leading the three law divisions, intensively delineating the list of people involved in the eunuch case, if a member of the eunuch party like Shi Fenglai, who can already be called correct and conclusive, cannot be listed, then the list of eunuchs he led and finalized is not convincing at all, and it is not far from him losing his official position and resigning or being included in the eunuch list.

Of course, Liu Zongzhou insisted on putting Shi Fenglai in, he didn't care whether you were the first assistant or not, but Li Guowei, who was the second assistant, couldn't help but consider it. Fortunately, although Qiao Yunsheng, the new secretary of the Criminal Department, is old, his mind is very clear.

Maybe it's the reason why the authorities are fascinated and the bystanders are clear, since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has been observing the court situation, especially the changes in the court situation in recent months, he basically guessed the emperor's mind, the Donglin Party was too strong and radical in the past, which must have made the emperor a little scared, leaving a few peripheral members of the eunuch party to maintain the balance of the court and government, which is the emperor's art since ancient times.

According to this inference, if the emperor intends to keep Shi Fenglai, he will definitely not transfer the impeachment of Shi Fenglai to the cabinet after handwriting instructions. Now that the emperor has done this, and has also transferred Shi Fenglai's plea to the cabinet, it clearly shows that the emperor is going to give up Shi Feng.

After figuring this out, Qiao Yunsheng also firmly stood on Liu Zongzhou's side, plus Li Biao, the imperial historian of the left capital, who was appointed by Emperor Chongzhen after his accession to the throne, the opinions of the three law divisions have been unanimous. Of course, Li Guowei also strengthened his thoughts. In this way, Shi Fenglai's fate was determined.

On the 15th of December, the Imperial Palace will begin to run as scheduled in accordance with the new rules established by the Emperor during the last Great Dynasty. Shoufu Shi Feng came to stay at home, so naturally he was not qualified to participate in the court meeting again. The remaining two cabinet ministers, Li Guowei and Sun Chengzong, are listed. Among the martial arts classes, it is still headed by the foreman, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and the British Duke Zhang Weixian, the Metropolitan Governor of the Five Armies. In addition to the vacancy of the official department, the six books are also here, Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the household department, Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the criminal department, and Li Banghua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, have all arrived, and the secretary of the military department is concurrently served by Sun Chengzong, of course, it can be regarded as present. Behind these people is Yuan Keli, the governor of Caoyun, who is still in the capital and has not yet resigned.

Although the emperor has not summoned him these days, he has been rewarded with several hundred taels of silver today and a few pieces of silk tomorrow, which fully shows that the emperor attaches great importance to him. Yuan Keli also did not live up to the emperor's new appointment, first according to the emperor's wishes, he went to the military tun division of the military aircraft department that is now working in Tongzhou, accompanied by Sun Chengzong, Yang Yingqian and others, visited the new-style military tun in Liangxiang, Fangshan, Tongzhou, Zhuozhou and other places, and later saw Xu Guangqi and others in the Tongzhou Agricultural Institute for next year's cultivation of new crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., and had a relatively clear idea of how to recruit people to reclaim and train Cao Camp in the jurisdiction after he became the governor of Caoyun in the future.

Yuan Keli, who was standing solemnly in the Imperial Palace, was immersed in his own longing, when he suddenly heard the great eunuch Cao Huachun shouting: "On December 15th, the Imperial Palace will be in the Great Dynasty, and there will be something to play early, and there will be nothing to retreat from." ”

Looking at the solemn ministers standing in the Imperial Palace, especially the ministers closest to the throne and the servants of the six Shangshu, Zhu Daming thought to himself, what he could do so far was to do his best. In history, those ministers and scholars who fought inside and outside fought for outsiders have been won by him, and now the solemn ones in the palace can be said to be the choice of the moment, and some of the most outstanding ministers in the late Ming Dynasty are basically here.

After Cao Huachun's words fell, the hall fell silent. In the past, the most capable of talking about the imperial history of the imperial history of the people, now they have been promoted to the imperial history of the supervising army and assigned to the towns of the nine sides, and now some of them are still braving the cold wind and heavy snow, and they are on the way to the office.

Of course, in history, the champion Gongwen Zhenmeng, who was good at igniting fires and firing cannons, is also here today, although he was sent to Beijing to supervise the army, but after all, the Beijing camp is near the left side of the Beijing Division, and the Imperial Palace will be such an important occasion, and all the imperial historians in Beijing will participate. Before, he was a Hanlin attendant, and he didn't even have the qualifications to participate in the Great Dynasty Meeting on the spot, but now he is the supervisor of the Inspectorate, and he has the qualifications to speak, so of course he has to participate. And the first person to speak today is also Wen Zhenmeng.
