The undercurrent in the court suddenly began to surge.

The fall of Kaifeng Mansion made the emperor angry, and some people saw that the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with the cabinet, especially the two court meetings, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, believed that the situation needed to be stabilized at present, and for the time being, not to pursue the things that had passed, and to unite to encircle and suppress the Liukou, but this proposal was directly vetoed by the emperor, and the emperor asked to investigate the responsibility for the fall of Kaifeng Mansion.

The Donglin Party, which had been silent for a long time, seized this opportunity.

Zhang Pu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, the right of the Imperial Palace, Wu Changshi, the right Yu De of Zhan Shifu and others, grasped the opportunity and started to act.

Zhang Pu and others are the backbone of the Donglin Party who have suffered heavy losses, and cabinet ministers Qian Shisheng, Hou Xun and others are also very looking at Zhang Pu and others, and they almost have to inform Zhang Pu and others of anything that happens in the court, and Qian Shisheng and others have also worked hard to let Qian Qianyi and Qu Shiyun and others, who were assigned to Liaodong, return to the capital, but unfortunately the opportunity is not ripe and they have not succeeded.

At the same time that the emperor decided to investigate the responsibility for the fall of Kaifeng Fucheng, Zhang Pu summoned Zhang Cai, Yang Yi, Wu Changshi, Gong Dingyu and others, discussed in detail, combined with the information they had, and began to propose impeachment.

The impeachment of Zhang Pu and others quickly caused waves in the DPRK and China.

According to the suggestion of Zhang Pu and others, the late Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the governor of the five provinces, Sun Chuanting, should be punished, because of his mistakes in the arrangement of combat deployment, which directly led to the fall of Kaifeng Fucheng, and the late Henan governor Wu Fu should be stripped of all his titles, because he has direct responsibility for the fall of Kaifeng Fucheng, Henan General He Renlong should be handed over to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for interrogation, as the Henan General Army. Failed to keep the city of Kaifeng, which was obviously dereliction of duty.

As for the imperial court, Zhang Pu and others also pointed the finger directly at Yang Sichang, who had resigned from the post of cabinet minister and secretary of the Ministry of War. It shows that the military department has made major mistakes in employing personnel and in strategic deployment, and Yang Sichang must bear the main responsibility.

Zhang Fengyi, the second assistant of the cabinet, was also among the impeached personnel, and according to the division of labor between the first assistant of the cabinet and the second assistant of the cabinet, in principle, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households, and Zhang Fengyi, the second assistant of the cabinet, was in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Industry.

The twists and turns of Zhang Pu and others. Like a bombshell, many people think they are too bold.

However, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet, secretly admired it, and from the impeachment twists and turns, he saw the shadows of Qian Shisheng and Hou Sui and others, and even saw the ability of Qian Shisheng and others to figure out the emperor's thoughts.

The reason why the emperor must seize the matter of the fall of Kaifeng Fucheng and hold the relevant personnel accountable is that he is dissatisfied with the cabinet and hopes to rectify the cabinet through this incident. Zhang Fengyi, Yang Yipeng, Yang Sichang and others in the cabinet are considered to have a good relationship with Zheng Xunrui, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department. The emperor was already dissatisfied, but he couldn't find a chance to vent.

Qian Shisheng, Hou Sui, Zhang Pu and others must have been carefully analyzed and hit the nail on the head to play this impeachment twist, and they catered to the emperor's mind at a critical moment.

Zhou Yanru was almost always by the emperor's side, and he faintly felt it. The emperor already hated Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun, and he was worried day and night that if it weren't for the threat of Liukou and Houjin Tartar, he would have done something to Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun a long time ago, but even if the situation was critical. I can't watch Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun grow stronger, there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the Donglin Party and Zheng Xunrui, at this time, some of the Donglin Party people are enabled, let go of their hands and feet to deal with Zheng Xunrui, the emperor can coordinate in the middle, watch the fight between the two sides unscathed, and wait until the situation of defeat appears, take action to clean up Zheng Xunrui.

Qian Shisheng and Hou Sui and other Donglin Party members should have seen the situation clearly, but in order to revitalize the Donglin Party, in order to be able to win power, it is worth paying a certain amount of sacrifice.

After careful and careful analysis, and after a long period of thinking, Zhou Yanru finally made up his mind that when the emperor decided to investigate the responsibility for the fall of Kaifeng Fucheng, he resigned from the position of the first assistant of the cabinet and gave way to the Donglin party, so that these Donglin party members would work hard for the emperor and play with Zheng Xunrui.

Zhou Yanru is very clear that once the Donglin Party decides to make a move, what awaits them is the fate of destruction, the emperor can't keep these Donglin Party people, and he won't take action to protect them at a critical moment, what happened in Nanzhili and Huaibei and other places, he remembers very clearly, Zheng Xunrui is a scholar, and he is unwilling to kill the reader, that is because the victory is in hand, and he also hopes that the Donglin Party can reflect, but Zheng Xunrui's forbearance has brought such a situation, and when people do it again, will they be soft.

The court meeting in mid-June lasted for two whole days, which was unprecedented in the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was a fierce debate and even quarrel at the court meeting, and this court meeting also opened the source of the rapid decline of the Ming royal family, from this time on, Zhu Youzhen began to move towards a road of no return.

That is, from the beginning of this court meeting, Zhu Youzhen made a decision, and the eunuchs of the celebrant participated in the court meeting and could clearly express their opinions and suggestions.

After all, when the emperor was the emperor, Wei Zhongxian, although he was in power, he did not participate in the court meeting, and on the surface he still had to maintain the royal rules, but Zhu Youzhen actually overturned all this and clearly asked the celebrant and eunuch to participate in the court meeting.

The opposition of the courtiers had no effect, Zhu Youzhen finally made a decision and made a decision, asking the celebrant eunuch to participate in the court meeting and put forward opinions and suggestions for the court government, Zhu Youzhen was even ready to issue a holy decree for the celebrant eunuch to participate in the court meeting, and this matter was completely clear, and it will be implemented in the future, but was dissuaded by the chief eunuch Wang Chengen.

In the fierce quarrel, Zhu Youzhen always controlled the situation, and with the participation of the celebrant and eunuch in the court meeting, he developed strong self-confidence, and he was able to calmly analyze the thoughts of the minister of civil and military affairs.

At the end of the two-day court meeting, Zhu Youzhen also made the final decision.

On June 20, the 14th year of Chongzhen, the emperor decreed.

Zhou Yanru, the former first assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Fengyi, the former deputy assistant of the cabinet, and Yang Yipeng, the former cabinet minister, were appointed due to physical reasons; Yang Sichang, the former cabinet minister and secretary of the Ministry of War, was relieved of all posts due to the fall of Kaifeng Fucheng; Sun Chuanting, the former secretary of the military department, the right deputy imperial envoy, and the governor of the five provinces, who had been killed, was deprived of all his titles because of a major mistake in commanding the army in battle; Wu Fu, the former governor of Henan who died in battle, failed to protect the Kaifeng Mansion City well and should have been punished, but he desperately guarded the Kaifeng Mansion and was loyal to the imperial court. He Renlong, the former Henan commander-in-chief, failed to perform his functions and was removed from his post as Henan's commander-in-chief and handed over to the military department and Dali Temple for interrogation.

Cabinet Minister Qian Shisheng was appointed as the first assistant to the Cabinet, and Cabinet Minister Chen Xinjia was appointed as the second assistant to the Cabinet.

Zhang Pu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, was appointed governor of Henan and took office immediately, presiding over the situation in Henan, including the dispatch of troops; Zhang Cai, the right servant of the imperial history, served as the right attendant of the military department; Zhang Cai, the right imperial historian, served as the right attendant of the household department; Wu Chang, the right temple of Dali Temple, served as the imperial history of the left of the Imperial Palace; Gong Dingyu, the right of the Zhan Mansion, served as the right of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate......

After the decree came out, the court was shocked.

Zhou Yanru, who has two ups and downs, is ready to return to his hometown, in fact, he is not very old, and he is a little unreasonable for physical reasons, but Zhou Yanru no longer has any nostalgia for the position of the first assistant to the cabinet.

The situation in the court has been completely clear, the emperor's thoughts have been fully revealed, and from then on, there will be major changes in the situation in the court, which is expected by Zhou Yanru.

Since then, there will be three major opponents, Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun have become the biggest opponents of the Ming Dynasty, followed by the Houjin Tartars, and finally Liukou, from the strength of the Ming court, can not defeat any opponent, and the emperor has taken Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun as the biggest opponent, in the adjustment of the cabinet, including the adjustment of the ministers of the court, reused Zheng Xunrui's rival.

The cabinet has undergone a great adjustment this time, and he Zhou Yanru, Zhang Fengyi, Yang Sichang, and Yang Yipeng have all left the cabinet, and the new cabinet chief assistant and cabinet deputy assistant are all former cabinet ministers, and it is said that many people need to be added to the cabinet, and the emperor did not make a decision on this matter immediately, but asked the ministers of the DPRK and China to recommend them.

Zhou Yanru felt ridiculous about the emperor's practices, on the one hand, he relied on the celebrant to firmly control the government, and on the other hand, he used the Dongdonglin Party to confront Zheng Xunrui, but he didn't know that Zheng Xunrui didn't take these things seriously at all, and the strength was already very strong, it can be said that if Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun rebelled openly, the imperial court would not be able to resist at all, and the capital of Daming would soon be taken by Zheng Xunrui and Zheng Jiajun.

Zhou Yanru's movements are very fast, this time he can retreat with his whole body, it is not simple, he must leave quickly before the emperor thinks about the past, he knows a lot of secrets, and many secrets are very fatal.

The newly appointed cabinet chief assistant Qian Shisheng, cabinet deputy assistant Chen Xinjia and others all planned to come to visit, but Zhou Yanru directly refused.

After only staying in the capital for two days, Zhou Yanru got up and left the capital and went back to his hometown. (To be continued......)
