Empress Zhou suddenly made a decision to form a new army in addition to the Beijing camp that modeled on the training method of the Three Guards Army. Fan Fucui, as a cabinet scholar, strongly opposed this, and swept Queen Zhou away three times in one day.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Zaode, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, wrote a letter to impeach Fan Fucui, interfered with the Holy Hearing, and plotted against him. As a result, since the crown prince was in charge of the country as the prince, the harmonious atmosphere in the cabinet has been broken.

But according to the speculation of the ministers, Wei Zaode is very young after all, and it is too impatient to jump out so suddenly. In order to stabilize the situation and balance people's hearts, this bullet will also be accepted by the sixth according to the convention. But what was unexpected was that only the next morning, the prince of the prison country actually issued an edict to impeach, which made Fan Fucui go home and think about it behind closed doors.

The will is one, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are in an uproar.

However, this was only the beginning of shaking the government and the opposition.

Wei Zaode, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, successfully pulled Fan Fucui off the horse with one blow, and immediately pointed the finger at Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, and impeached Zhou's corpse vegetarian meal, without size, mediocrity and incompetence, resulting in the corruption of the court, and the Jiannu soldiers had no way to deal with it in a word, and they should pursue the responsibility for their failure to govern!

For a time, the government was silent, and when Fan was impeached, there were still officials in the court and the central government who applauded openly and secretly, after all, this old thing was stubborn, unruly, and rarely pretended to be to the officials, so there were not a few people who hated him. Get him down, and the big guy will be happy to see it happen even if he won't help.

However, Zhou Yanru is different, this person has two important ministers, two ups and downs, and has deep roots and connections inside and outside Beijing, who dares to go to Ying and Wei Zaode to brush his tiger whiskers? However, ordinary people don't dare, but others dare.

The first person to stand up and seconded the proposal was Jiang Dejing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who entered the cabinet with Wei Zaode and Li Xin.

Once Zhou Yanru falls, the position of the first assistant to the cabinet will be vacant, how can the rest of the cabinet scholars not stare at it? The current cabinet is deliberately arranged by Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, and only the first assistant is dominant. In other words, whoever takes over Zhou Yanru's position, coupled with the absence of a strong Son of Heaven, will hold a lot of power far better than when the Son of Heaven Zhu Youjian was healthy.

However, the reaction in the Forbidden City was not as fast as when Fan Fucui was disposed of, and the two bullets in succession were left behind. Just when everyone thought that Empress Zhou and the crown prince were concerned that Zhou Yanru was an old minister reused by the Son of Heaven after all, and their subordinates showed mercy, someone in the cabinet stood up and joined the team to impeach Zhou Yanru.

This person turned out to be Liu Yuliang, the former cabinet minister. This person has been in decline since he was punished by the Son of Heaven in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, although he is still among the cabinets, but his power position is no longer the same as before. In the years since, he has been very low-key, never expressing dissent on major and minor matters between the DPRK and China, but now he has suddenly jumped out unusually, and it seems that he has been planning for a long time and has struck a blow.

At this point, three scholars in the cabinet have unanimously impeached the first assistant Zhou Yanru, and the trend of public opinion in the court has immediately undergone a reversal change. According to the practice of various dynasties in the past, once several scholars in the cabinet impeached the first minister, there was no precedent for the first assistant to withstand the tremendous pressure and still sit firmly in the cabinet.

The best outcome among these people is also to go to the office in advance and return to their hometown for retirement. If the ending is not good, it will be lawless, and there are many people who will be punished for their crimes.

If it comes to such a point, the hundred officials in the court still can't understand the thoughts of Queen Zhou and the crown prince, then they have really been officials in the court for many years in vain.

The reason why the two of them have not expressed their position for a long time is that they are waiting for the hundred officials to echo it, and then they will be removed from the position of first assistant. Seeing this clearly, the officials were willing to hesitate, and in just one night, the bullet seal flew into the Forbidden City like snowflakes, and Zhou Yanru saw that the general trend was gone.

In the cabinet hall, Zhou Yanru was still calmly sitting on the Taishi chair that belonged to him as usual, disposing of official documents one after another, as if the bullets of the hundreds of officials did not have the slightest impact on him.

When Zhou Yanru handled official documents, there was always a group of discerning court officials waiting for orders. However, at this moment, the officials were hiding from Zhou Yanru like a plague.

Maybe Zhou Yanru also felt that he hadn't said half a word to his colleagues for half a day, so he was a little embarrassed, so he turned his head and greeted Li Shiwen, a bachelor who was only three or two steps away. After all, in this cabinet, Li Shiwen has always been optimistic about him, and he never dared to oppose him.

However, this time, in the face of Zhou Yanru's deliberate and polite greetings, Li Shiwen pretended to be deaf and dazzled, not only did he not respond, but even twisted his white head away, without looking at him.

Zhou Yanru, who was suffocated, couldn't hold it on his face anymore, Shoufu did it to this point, if he was cheeky enough to lie in the cabinet, he would lose his face for the rest of his life.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou Yanru officially resigned and returned to his hometown to support the bones of the Son of Heaven.

This time, the palace did not stay in the middle of the country, but quickly rejected Zhou Yanru's resignation, allowing him to serve the country with peace of mind. It's just that everyone understands that this is just a trick for Queen Zhou to play three times and refuse Fang Zhu's permission again, so as to show that the court will not treat the old ministers badly.

Sure enough, after Zhou Yanru resigned three times, Empress Zhou and the crown prince reluctantly approved his resignation, and praised him repeatedly, so that he could return to his hometown on a later date.

The reason why Zhou Yanru was allowed to return to his hometown on a certain day without specifying a specific time was because at this moment, the army of Jiannu outside the capital was gathering more and more, and there were already nearly 100,000 people. Sending Zhou Ge out of the city at this time, didn't he send him to death?

Everyone knows that a vigorous reversal of the Zhou drama has come to a perfect end, and the next big drama of competing for the position of the first assistant of the cabinet will be staged again.

However, before this play could be staged, a protagonist who suddenly jumped out made the officials of the Manchu Dynasty stunned.

King Shen, who had been rumored to have been defeated, actually recaptured Juyong Pass, and won a battle with Jiannu, fought again and again, and won three battles in a row. The Jiannu army outside Beijing also began to withdraw in batches.

After Zhuo Jie's paperwork was sent to the Forbidden City, Empress Zhou couldn't even mention half of her joy, which was the last thing she wanted to see.

King Shen is based on three battles and three victories, and is bound to win the hearts of the court and the wilderness, and although she and the crown prince occupy an orthodox position, but in the face of the weakness of Jiannu when they entered the court, under this contrast, they naturally stand tall.

The matter has come to this point, if you want to deal with King Shen again, I am afraid that the world's fierce criticism will drown the two of them.

The feeling of helplessness once again shrouded this woman who was strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

finally got rid of two old ministers who relied on the old and sold the old, and the strong enemy who didn't want to come from the clan challenged her again.
