When Zhu Chenhao heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liu Mian is a person who is known to be the most interested, this person is very skillful, but he is very keen on rights, Liu Jian replaced him as the first assistant of the cabinet, presumably this person has long held a grudge, plus he re-entered the cabinet from a first assistant, according to seniority, he should be ranked first in the cabinet, but the truth is different, after all, there is a Li Dongyang and Xie Qian above, these two have never been with Liu Mian, Liu Mian into the cabinet, will definitely provoke blood.

For the imperial court, if the cabinet is unstable, or if the cabinet ministers tear each other down, then the prosperity of Hongzhi is only afraid that it will be over.

The cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty can be included in the cabinet, which one is not a talented person? However, the three most successful cabinets in the cabinet are only the Sanyang cabinet, Liu Jian cabinet and Zhang Juzheng cabinet, the reason why these three cabinets are so successful is not that the cabinet ministers are outstanding, in fact, basically the cabinet ministers of the past dynasties are the best of the people, such as Xu Jie, such as Xia Yanren, etc., these people's methods are only more clever than Liu Jian.

But the reason why they did not succeed as much as Liu Jian's cabinet was that the most important factor was internal friction, and the cabinet ministers dismantled each other. The Sanyang Cabinet and the Liu Jian Cabinet were able to work together in the same boat, and the ministers of the Cabinet were unprecedentedly united, so they could work together to tide over the difficulties, even if the sky fell, they could also make up for the mistakes of governance as quickly as possible. Although Zhang Juzheng's cabinet may not be united, Zhang Juzheng alone suppressed almost all opposing voices and covered the sky with one hand, although this unity is based on strength, but it can be regarded as united. The final result is that most of the mental strength is spent on internal friction, everyone forms a faction, attacks each other, and there is a famine, not trying to do their best to help the disaster, but to make a big fuss about the disaster, and try to use this to overthrow their opponents. When encountering this kind of cabinet, no matter how powerful the cabinet ministers, they are blind.

It is this kind of situation that Zhu Jinjun wants to create, and now, his plan has been half successful, once Liu Mian enters the cabinet, the entire cabinet is bound to be torn apart, and the previous excellent situation of unprecedented unity will also be gone, and Zhu Jinjun will have the possibility of taking advantage of the fire.

"What you and I have to do right now is to wait for the opportunity, although Liu Mian is not our person, but like us, he is the enemy of Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others, once he enters the cabinet, this court will definitely be in chaos."

Zhu Jinjun took a sip of tea, looking a little excited, and the whole down of Liu Jian did bring him an inexplicable pleasure, but he also understood that it was only the first step to completely ruin the situation of Hongzhi's rule, and the future was still long, so he tried his best to restrain his joy.

Zhu Chenhao said: "Didn't Father Fang Cai say that the emperor is already seriously ill?" If Hongji dies......"

Zhu Jinjun shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, the emperor is just angry this time, don't pin your hopes on this." ”

Zhu Chenhao nodded.

………………………………………………………… Capital.

One news after another almost made the entire Beijing Division boiling, first it was rumored that the emperor was seriously ill, and then Liu Jian went home to retire, Cai Chang was convicted and sent to prison, for a while, the world shook, and there were many people who shouted for Liu Jian and Cai Chang.

Coupled with Liu Jian's sudden downfall, it makes people smell an ominous atmosphere.

After that, another holy decree came out, ordering Liu Ji to enter the cabinet and go to his post immediately, without mistake.

The reason why this decision was made is the result of Zhu Youjiao's careful consideration in the sickbed, Liu Jian has been running the cabinet for more than ten years, and the tree has deep roots, and now since Liu Jian is allowed to go home to recuperate, and his body is extremely weak, since there has been a crack between the monarch and the minister, then just in case, there is only one person to check and balance Liu Jian.

Li Dongyang, Xie Qianren and others are inseparable from Liu Jian, in addition, Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng are also inseparable from Liu Jian. It can be said that the entire court is Liu Jian's person, and now although Liu Jian is recuperating, but the influence is still there, although Liu Ji has always been disliked by Zhu Youji, but Liu Ji is indeed the best candidate, this person is extremely capable, senior, and Liu Jian is not a party, all meet the conditions for Zhu Youzhang to be elected to the cabinet.

It's just that this holy decree came out, and suddenly caused an uproar in the world, Liu Mian actually entered the cabinet again, this backbone of the papier-mâché cabinet, and now it will become the center of the cabinet, if it is replaced in the Chenghua Dynasty, the papier-mâché cabinet, the clay sculpture of the book, everyone pinched their noses and recognized, but this is the Hongzhi Dynasty, so for a while, the Jingshi made a mess, scolded, wrote against it, and even some people asked for the surname to throw bricks to this Liu Ji's house, and some people let go, If Liu Ji dares to go to work, he will be good-looking.

Although Liu Ji is Zhishi, his hometown is not in Beijing, it can be said that this benevolent brother obviously has feelings for Jingshi, and Zhishi has not returned to his hometown since then, but has been staying in Beijing. So the Liu Mansion was not peaceful all of a sudden, and all kinds of threatening letters came one after another, but everyone seemed to underestimate Liu Mian's face, Liu Mian received a holy decree, it stands to reason that the imperial court gave him such a big burden, he had to resign again and again no matter what, even if he wanted to become a leader, he had to resign at least three times to succeed. Moreover, if the general cabinet ministers are scolded badly, most of them have to obediently submit their resignations even when they are in office, after all, there is no mass base, and the scholars still have to be faced. But this cotton brother is real, for fear that the palace will change his mind after the holy decree comes down, and he is even more afraid that the night will be long and dreamy, so he actually accepted the holy decree, even if he entered the palace to thank him, he went directly to the cabinet in the afternoon, and the thickness of his cheeks was breathtaking.

In the cabinet, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian are not very comfortable, the emperor is seriously ill, and official affairs are pressed on them, Liu Jian's departure has doubled their pressure, and their eyes are bloodshot and full of fatigue. And Liu Ji's mixing also made the two disgusted. They had a lot of dealings with Liu Ji in the past, and in Liu Jian's evaluation, this Bachelor Liu is a shameless villain, not only shameless, but also takes power very seriously, which is why Liu Ji can still go to work so happily in the midst of scolding.

Liu Ji is actually not too old, but only sixty years, if it wasn't for the emperor who didn't like him at that time, he wouldn't have been at home for seven or eight years, and his body was still very tough.

In the past, he was the leader of the cabinet, but now he is only a newcomer, Liu Ji is obviously still very conscious, and he really sees himself as a newcomer.

As soon as he sat down, Liu Ji saw that Li Dongyang and Xie Qian didn't pay much attention to him, so he laughed, smiled slightly, stroked the case and said: "Zhishi has been idle for so many years, and now the court is kind to invite the old man into the cabinet, His Majesty personally issued a holy decree, although the old man has the heart of Nanshan, but he also knows that the family and the country are important, so he has to stick this old bone, no matter what, he has to pick up the burden of the cabinet, but the government affairs are unfamiliar, and the two of them need to ask for more advice." ”

I've seen a face, I've never seen such a shameless person, and what kind of invitation from the imperial court, Li Dongyang is okay, he has always known how to forbear, but Xie Qian is disgusting, pretending to be reading a book, and ignoring him at all. Li Dongyang raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Liu Gong is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and now it is gratifying to congratulate him, and Yu Qiao and I still have a lot to learn from Liu Gong." ”

Liu Ji nodded, in fact, although he was shameless, his face was actually quite good, his appearance was dignified, and his temples were white, and he really had a bit of the style of a moral old man. He said with a smile: "Gong Li is polite, yes, what has the cabinet been busy with these days?" The old man also has a contribution. ”

Li Dongyang said: "It's for Jiangxi's disaster relief." ”

Liu Ji listened to it and disagreed, disaster relief was something to be done, how could a dignified cabinet scholar even do this kind of thing of Chen sesame rotten grain himself? He smiled faintly and said: "The old man heard that now everyone is talking about the affairs of Xuanfu, and there has been no governor since that Zuo Qiu Ming was convicted, everyone said that the Hou of Lianzhou will be opposed, but the old man disagrees very much, the heart of the Hou of Lianzhou to serve the country, even the old man is ashamed, and some people say that the Hou of Lianzhou has an antipathy, and the old man will never agree." ”

Brother Cotton can see everything, the reason for Liu Jian's downfall is in this Xuanfu, although the relationship with Lianzhou Hou is not very big, but he can't repeat the mistakes of the past, so he has to make a statement first, and he can't have anything to do with Lianzhou Hou for the time being. However, the next sentence revealed his true intentions, he smiled faintly, and said: "However, the Marquis of Lianzhou moderated the Xuanfu, in fact, it is nothing, but the governor of the imperial court has to be sent out, but I don't know if the cabinet has drawn up a candidate?" ”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian immediately looked at each other, this old thing is really shrewd, although the Marquis of Lianzhou controls Xuanfu, but after all, he is only the identity of Qincha, how long can he stay in Xuanfu? But the vacancy of the governor of Xuanfu is real, Liu Mian saw the key here at a glance, and directly asked about the appointment and dismissal of the governor, making it clear that he was taking the chestnut in the fire, and wanted to take down the governor of Xuanfu while everyone was arguing about the matter of the Marquis of Lianzhou.
