Remove a cabinet minister? This is a very important matter within the top ruling class of the Ming Empire, which pursues stability and continuity. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Under normal circumstances, if the emperor is not extremely dissatisfied with the cabinet minister, he will not file a motion for the removal of the cabinet minister.

After all, the Cabinet is the decision-making and supreme arbiter in the practical details of many matters in the empire, and His Majesty the Emperor will easily not let this institution fall into turmoil, which also has a positive effect on stabilizing the rule of the imperial family.

It is a pity that Zhu Mu, the new emperor of the Ming Empire, seems to have been born to be a cabinet minister - not long after he ascended the throne, Zhao Hongshou, the former first assistant minister of the cabinet, was assassinated by his son Zhao Mingyi, and then two cabinet ministers were dismissed, and then Ge Tianzhang, Zhang Huai, and Bai Fei were substituted and became the new cabinet ministers of the Ming Empire.

With the addition of the three of them, Wang Jianfeng, the former deputy minister of the cabinet, formed a cabinet, Wang Jianfeng, Ma Siyuan and Huang Yao, and Ge Tianzhang and other new three people formed the new Ming Empire cabinet and began to exercise cabinet power.

However, less than a quarter later, Zhu Mu once again made a move against the cabinet, which was originally known for its stability. If he really deposed Ge Tianzhang this time, he would have replaced four cabinet ministers in less than a year since he ascended the throne.

The speed of this replacement may be faster than that of his ancestor, the so-called Emperor Jiajing. Of course, on the other hand, Ge Tianzhang is also related to the Ministry of War, which is a very important department, and if Zhu Mu moves a motion to remove Ge Tianzhang, it is likely that he will also implicate Shang Shucheng's letter not long after the Ministry of War has just taken office.

Coupled with the newly arranged large number of officials with capital chaebol backgrounds, it is not an exaggeration to describe the high-level leaders of the Ming Empire with the word "blood exchange". And such a frenzied upper-level turmoil will also make the continuity of the entire empire problematic, and many established action plans will be changed, replaced, or even canceled due to huge changes.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wang Jianfeng stood beside Zhu Mu, and hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade: "Your Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, should be cautious when speaking out of the Constitution!" The dismissal of the cabinet ministers cannot be hastily decided according to His Majesty's personal likes and dislikes, there must be a reason. ”

"The reason? You even asked me why? Zhu Mu moved his sharp gaze from Ge Tianzhang, who could only breathe, to Wang Jianfeng's face, and then stared at the other party with disdain, and said slowly but with momentum: "There are many things that can't be put on the table, so you just treat it as if it didn't happen?" ”

Zhang Huai also hurriedly bowed his head at this time, and opened his mouth to persuade Zhu Mudao: "But Your Majesty! A lot of these good things that Lord Ge has done are on the bright side, and you can't pretend that it didn't happen! ”

"Meritorious! Yes! Zhu Mu nodded, his eyes swept over the body of one cabinet minister after another in front of him, and while scanning everyone, he continued to agree: "Yes...... If a person has merit and has a history, then he can be in the cabinet chair and shout to me that he must not come! ”

He sneered, then raised his chin and said coldly: "And the other person, he only has merit to me and the Ming Empire, but because he has done something that seems illegal on the surface, you will demote his official position and cut his military power!" Liaodong, which my military department can't get back, I got it back myself! Now I want to give a warning to the Ministry of War, what did Lord Ge say to me? ”

"The minister is guilty!" At this time, several ministers also knew that this was Emperor Zhu Mu looking for a place for his friend Wang Jue. It's useless to say anything now, although on the surface it seems that the ministers have a "reason" in dealing with Wang Jue's incident, but this kind of thing can only play the tacit card and can't withstand careful scrutiny.

Once the emperor didn't admit this matter, or the emperor was originally dissatisfied with Wang Fu, who raised his self-respect, Wang Jue's exploits in Liaodong and Liaobei were unbreakable in the emperor's heart - things have indeed developed like this to the present, and it has been brewing for so long before making waves, and it can indeed be regarded as Zhu Mu's ability to endure it.

And the ministers who dealt with Wang Jue, both morally and in their positions, fell into an extremely unfavorable situation. At this time, if you still have to tear your face with the emperor and bite Wang Fu and innocent Wang Jue, you will undoubtedly find trouble for yourself.

For example, now: Ge Tianzhang is opposed to the emperor's preparation to set up a Praetorian Guard headquarters and cultivate another military system, and the emperor took out his inaction in letting Wang Fu and raise Kou in northern Liaobei - which minister does not have a little black history, if the emperor wants to find fault, is it not easy to capture?

I heard that the activities of Dongchang and Jinyiwei have been frequent and more disciplined recently, the division of labor has also become clear, and the various departments have changed a lot, and the officers and lieutenants who were familiar with each other have been transferred to the Praetorian Guard system and sent to the front line. Now this group of people are like wolves and tigers, and they are worried that they will not have the opportunity to show loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, so it is better to be careful.

The first person to bow his head was Bai Fei, who was the most inconspicuous in the cabinet, and he could see from his arrangement of his henchman Chen Yu that he was the kind of person who was very good at scheming.

He can be regarded as the most transparent at this time, because he found that Zhu Mu, as the emperor, was doing things for the Ming Empire in every move. There is a position to deal with this kind of emperor, that is, to stand in the interests of the Ming Empire. Because as long as he is dedicated to the public, Emperor Zhu Mu can tolerate it - Ge Tianzhang insisted on his own views on the strategic focus of the north and south before, but Zhu Mu endured a breath of relief, which is the best proof.

He glanced at Emperor Zhu Mu, bowed and said: "Although the minister knows that General Wang Jue's affairs have other inside information, and he has indeed been wronged, but with Your Majesty you remembering him so much, these grievances are nothing." Please also ask Your Majesty to calm your anger, and think twice before you act......"

As soon as Bai Fei stood up, the cabinet as a whole was divided, and this crack made it easier for Zhu Mu to stab himself with the most fatal knife, and Ge Tianzhang was difficult to get out of today, which was also a seemingly inconspicuous small choice for Bai Fei.

With Bai Fei's move to withdraw his troops at this time, the two ministers who were the most inconspicuous on weekdays riding on the wall also immediately made the choice of not offending both sides that they were best at. Huang Yao first bowed his body and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty! Lord Ge is also out of proportion in a hurry, and the original intention of being loyal to the monarch and patriotism is still good. ”

He never mentioned whether he liked or disapproved of the removal of Ge Tianzhang, and Ma Siyuan naturally would not express his position on this kind of matter, His Majesty the Emperor's shadow cabinet showed the fundamental value of its existence at this time, only to hear Ma Siyuan bow his mouth and directly pick himself up: "The old minister has always been in charge of economic work, and he doesn't know much about the war situation in Liaodong, Lord Ge's affairs, presumably His Majesty knows more than the old minister......

Before Zhang Huai and Wang Jianfeng could speak, Ge Tianzhang, who had come to his senses, looked up and laughed, he stood up tremblingly, looked at the young emperor Zhu Mu, nodded and then shook his head again: "Your Majesty is talented, and the old decay is considered to be accepted today." This cabinet minister, the old man really can't sit still, and His Majesty doesn't have to bother to appease the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and calm the suspicions of many ministers...... The old man will write a letter tomorrow to ask for his resignation and return to his hometown! ”

After he finished speaking, he took off the crane brooch on his chest that represented the grade, put it on the huge desk in the conference room, and then looked at Emperor Zhu Mu: "Your Majesty Xie has endured the old minister for so long, the old minister is confused, I don't know how to advance and retreat, I don't know how to advance and retreat, I really deserve death...... Tomorrow, the old minister will be at home, waiting for His Majesty to lock up the old minister's horseman. ”

After saying this, he bowed slightly, and then retreated: "Chen Ge Tianzhang retires!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Zhu Mu's hand behind his back wanted to go around to him and reach out to stop Ge Tianzhang from exiting the office like this, but he only hesitated for a moment, and then clenched his fist to interrupt the hesitation in his heart. He wants to recover Wang Jue, he wants to expand the Praetorian Guard, all of this has irreconcilable conflicts with Ge Tianzhang, so he can only be ruthless and drive this eighty-year-old man out of his court.

Standing there, he watched Ge Tianzhang's lonely figure exit the huge conference room, and then the guard at the door stretched out his hand to close the door of the heavily soundproof conference room, and the entire conference room still maintained the strange tranquility after Ge Tianzhang finished speaking.

As the emperor of the Ming Empire, Zhu Mu knew that he had made a sudden attack with Wang Jue today, and he really recovered part of the emperor's interest on military power from Ge Tianzhang. If he wants to be a person in the Ming Empire like the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he must grasp more power, and only power can allow him to concentrate the power of the Ming Empire, and concentrate the power of the entire empire to do what he Zhu Mu wants to do!

"If Lord Ge asks for his resignation tomorrow, you can prepare and approve it on the excerpt and send it to me." After being quiet for a long time, Zhu Mu opened his mouth to break the strange atmosphere in the room, and then he motioned for everyone to sit down, and a harmless smile on his face was put on again: "Regarding the promotion of the Praetorian Guard and Wu Yan, the cabinet will also spread the news!" ”

After these orders, he waited for the remaining five ministers to answer his words, and the room became eerily quiet again. Until Zhang Huai opened his mouth, he asked a question that everyone was secretive: "Then Your Majesty...... When are you going to reinstate General Wang Jue? ”

Who knew that after hearing this question, Emperor Zhu Mu had a deeper smile on his face, but the words he said made everyone stunned. (To be continued.) )
