The more I thought about it, the more gloomy my my face became, and the anger in my heart became bigger and bigger......

This is the truest portrayal of Wei Zheng's heart at this moment.

Of course, anger is anger, and Wei Zheng did not lose his mind because of this......

Now that the problem has been discovered, the next step is to think about how to rob the problem......

If you want to loot this problem, the best way is to let all the civil and military officials under your command stop forming gangs and factions, and all of them are under their own command.

However, Wei Zheng knew very well that this was impossible.

Just as the great men of later generations once said, as long as there are people, there will be struggles, and where there are struggles, there will also be gangs and factions...... Therefore, among all the civil and military officials under the command of the great man, there are a large number of invisible factions.

Wei Zheng is not confident that his personality charm can be higher than that of future generations......

Even the great man can't make this kind of thing not happen, let alone himself......

In addition, if you want to defeat Zhou Shuyuan's prestige in the Tiger and Leopard Army, there is another way, that is, to continue to demote Zhou Shuyuan's position, and continue to demote Zhou Shuyuan until everyone thinks that there is no way out with Zhou Shuyuan, Zhou Shuyuan's prestige in the Tiger and Leopard Army. Naturally, it will disappear into the invisible......

However, as soon as this idea appeared in his mind, he was vetoed by Wei Zheng himself......

After all, this Zhou Shuyuan has just been demoted by himself, and if he is demoted by himself again without any reason, then in terms of prestige, it is not Zhou Shuyuan who will be really affected, but himself......

When the time comes, the whole army of the Haw Par Army will spread that their rewards and punishments are unknown......

Just when Wei Zheng frowned, thinking about a specific solution. Zhou Changjun seemed to have thought of something.

After some contemplation. Directly reminded Wei Zheng: "Lord Wang." After Governor Zhou left the Prime Minister's Yamen, after I temporarily assumed the post of Prime Minister, the Prime Minister's Yamen was one less Vice Prime Minister...... Look, Lord Wang, do you want to come up alone from among these people who pleaded for Governor Zhou......"

"In the past few years, many people have been old people who have followed the prince, plus the past two years, as a deputy prime minister, there is absolutely no problem......"

"Also. I also have another idea, with the two provinces of Gansu and Ningbo also under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister's Yamen, there is no way to do everything with one prime minister and two vice prime ministers in close proximity to the Prime Minister's Yamen......

"My idea is to add two more deputy prime ministers to the existing two prime ministers......

Zhou Changjun is worthy of being an old man who has been fighting in the mall for half his life, and in just a few words, he solved all the problems that Wei Zheng was facing.

Although Zhou Changjun said a lot, but. To put it all down, just a few words: decentralization...... Discord......

Tong guò these methods. Splitting a seemingly large faction into two, or even three, reduces the impact they may have on themselves to a minimum......

The reason why these officials who interceded with Zhou Shuyuan in front of them followed Zhou Shuyuan. On the one hand, because of following Zhou Shuyuan, Zhou Shuyuan can provide them with a safe guarantee and stable backup.

As for the other aspect, and the most important aspect, that is, with Zhou Shuyuan's support, they can be promoted faster.

If his official position is high enough to a certain extent, Wei Zheng believes that no matter who he is, he will not want to be a vassal of others......

There is a good saying, it is better to be the head of the chicken than the tail of the wind.

As long as he can promote one of them as vice premiers, then this vice premier will definitely not follow Zhou Shuyuan and take Zhou Shuyuan as the leader.

Because, in terms of rank, the deputy prime minister is higher than Zhou Shuyuan's governor Ganning in a certain way......

In this way, some of these officials who followed Zhou Shuyuan will directly follow the vice prime minister who was promoted by Wei Zheng. The faction of Zhou Shuyuan, which has the greatest power, was divided into two......

As for Zhou Changjun's second idea, adding two more vice prime ministers means that in the prime minister's yamen, the rights of several prime ministers will be further reduced, and everyone can get a share

The power of the return has also been greatly reduced.

In this way, as long as the relationship and power of these people are balanced, the prime minister's yamen and the entire civil official system will never be able to escape the palm of his hand......

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng couldn't help but show an impressive expression to Zhou Changjun in front of him.

Because, Zhou Changjun in front of him is not only capable, but also not greedy for power, and self-aware. More importantly, you will be able to observe words and colors, and at critical moments, put forward the ideas you want for yourself.

Isn't such a person the best deputy he wants......

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng opened his mouth and decided: "Old Zhou, this king has decided that from today onwards, you will be the real prime minister of the Tiger and Leopard Army...... Now, this king has a task for you...... In two days, the prime minister's yamen and all the candidates who can serve as deputy prime ministers in each province will be selected, and then the king will make a decision himself......"

"As for those who pleaded with the governor of Zhou to ask the king to retract his order, although the king will not hold them accountable. However, this wind cannot be raised, after all, when the governor of Zhou was demoted, the king had already made the reason clear......"

"If everyone can go unpunished for making mistakes because of their military exploits, then what do we need military rules and military laws for......"

"Pick out some people from the middle and hand them over to the Supervision Yuan, so that the Supervision Yuan can check them...... It's best if you have nothing to do, and if you have something, you can set an example for the monkeys......"

The courtyard, which is less than fifty steps away from the palace, does not look much different from the surrounding courtyard on the surface.

However, if you walk in, you will find that there is no cave in the yard.

The courtyard of Nuoda is full of Haw Par troops patrolling with muskets, which can be described as heavily guarded.

Walk through the heavily guarded front yard, and there aren't as many gun-wielding Haw Par troops in the backyard.

However, there are many more middle-aged people who are busy, shuttling between rooms, wearing the uniform of the Haw Par Army, but without any military rank......

Introduced here, everyone will know as soon as you guess that this is the Yamen of the Haw Par Army's internal guard commander.

The internal guard commander made Luo Yangxing, and he did things here......

At this moment, Luo Yangxing was with a solemn face, analyzing an intelligence that the internal guard had just returned from Nanjing.

"Emperor Chongzhen started half a month ago, and summoned the commander of the Jinyi Guard alone many times, and it seems that he is plotting something......"

"Because the whole thing is only clear to Emperor Chongzhen and the commander of Jinyiwei, the internal guard has not found out the specific situation of the conspiracy between the two for the time being......" (to be continued......
