The greater the power of the cabinet, the greater the power of the ministers, He Wenyuan has gradually realized that as long as Shen Yichen is in power for one day, the trend of cabinet power overriding ministerial power is irreversible, and no matter how much you obstruct it, it will only delay time.

Among the five ministers of the cabinet, only Shang Zhen really belongs to the Shen Party, and even if Yang Hongze reaches a cooperation with Shen Yichen, with his identity as Hu Hui's protégé, it is destined to be impossible to truly fully join the Shen Party.

Wang Yining belongs to a nominal outcast, but if you really want to study it carefully, he is still closer to the civil official group, at least He Wenyuan is confident that he will throw an olive branch to the other party, and he will definitely get a warm response.

If Wang Wen is allowed to enter the cabinet smoothly, not to mention that he can occupy the advantage over Shen Yichen, at least compared to the disadvantage of Gao Gu during his reign, he can already achieve an equal situation, which can be regarded as a kind of progress in a certain sense.

The only regret for He Wenyuan is that he withdrew from the court in the sixth year of orthodoxy due to his opposition to the Luchuan Campaign, and the golden period of his officialdom career was delayed for a full ten years, so that he did not participate in any of the imperial examinations.

If Wang Wen can be replaced by a henchman of his own, there will be almost no suspense in this multiple-choice question of political compromise.

After thinking for a long time, He Wenyuan replied: "This official can agree to establish the Daming Qianzhuang and the Ministry of Finance, and these two yamen are not subordinate to each other along with the six ministries. However, these two chief officials of the yamen cannot participate in the court deliberations of the cabinet department, and only have the power to control the financial power and the tax system! ”

This is He Wenyuan's bottom line, after all, if nothing else, these two chief officials of the yamen must be the people who Shen Yichen supported the upper position, if they can participate in the court discussion of the cabinet of the Great Nine Secretaries, then the position of a cabinet minister alone cannot offset the strength of the two sides.

Moreover, in the mainstream thinking of civil officials and scholars in the Ming Dynasty, the yamen, who were in charge of industrial and commercial money, as long as their power could be limited, their status would naturally be lower than that of the six ministers, so the importance of the ministers was greater than that of the two emerging yamen.

"It's a deal!"

Shen Yichen agreed without the slightest hesitation, he didn't want Daming Qianzhuang and the chief official of the Ministry of Finance to participate in the decision-making level, it was completely He Wenyuan's own thoughts.

Besides, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he can participate in the court discussion, Shen Yichen's ultimate goal is to cancel the decision-making power of the cabinet Dajiuqing, and there will be only one decision-making body in the center of the Ming court in the future, and that is the cabinet!

Originally, Shen Yichen wanted to do a business without capital, but He Wenyuan really cooperated to the end.

"Shen Gongbao, it's really refreshing."

He Wenyuan couldn't guess Shen Yichen's thoughts at all, and the other party's happy agreement made him feel a sense of joy in his heart, so he praised it.

What does it mean that politics is an art of compromise? The exchange of interests between Shen Yichen and He Wenyuan perfectly illustrates this!

The civil official group got the position of cabinet minister, and they were very satisfied, Shen Yichen successfully established the Daming Money Village and the Ministry of Finance, and also achieved that it was not subordinate to the six ministries to avoid the dispersion and interference of financial power again, and they were also very satisfied.

Even if it was the emperor's side, Wang Wen could be successfully admitted to the cabinet without making a decree, which saved the emperor's face and avoided power conflicts with the scholar class. Even the eunuch Cao Jixiang, I am afraid that if he learns that Wang Wen can enter the cabinet smoothly, he should be very satisfied.

After the whole operation, it seems that no one is a loser......

Many times officialdom is like doing business, never staring at how much others earn, as long as you make it and don't lose money.

At the Wangshuo Dynasty meeting on February 15 of the third year of Ming Liang, Li Xian, the secretary of the ministry, officially recommended the imperial envoy Wang Wen to enter the cabinet, avoiding the reason that the eunuch invoked and the emperor's decree to enter the cabinet, which can be regarded as Shen Yichen's fulfillment of his promise to He Wenyuan.

Correspondingly, He Wenyuan, on behalf of the civil official group, agreed to Shen Yichen's creation of the Daming Money Village and the Ministry of Finance, and the first head of the money village was called the president, and the official position was slightly inferior to the head of the six departments, and the first grade was set as the third grade, and Xu Fengyuan, the prefect of Fuzhou, was parachuted into Beijing to serve as the governor.

Originally, according to the original agreement, the chief official of Daming Qianzhuang was at the same level as the six Shangshu, and it should be the official title of the second grade. However, Shen Yichen resolutely decided that this position of chief official must be held by Xu Fengyuan, which led to some disagreements in the cabinet meeting.

You must know that the prefect is a fourth-rank official, and he is still a magistrate, even if he is transferred to Kyoto at the same level, it can be called a high promotion, and it is a little unreasonable to cross the border to the ranks of the second-rank members in one step.

In addition, the "Daming Qianzhuang", an institution dressed in the skin of the central bank of later generations, is in the eyes of many officials in this era, it is a copper-smelling yamen that competes with the people for profit, why can it be respected with the cabinet minister?

Considering that this major change would have caused a lot of criticism, under the compromise of all parties in the court, the chief official of Daming Qianzhuang was demoted to the third grade, which was subordinate to the cabinet and was not subject to the jurisdiction of the six ministries.

For this result, Shen Yichen is acceptable, as long as he can maintain his independence and take back the right to mint coinage, it is his bottom line not to be fooled by the civilian clique. In addition, if the Daming money village has regressed, the Ministry of Finance will inevitably be tougher, so after some discussion, the first secretary of the Ministry of Finance will be served by Xiao Yi, Zuo Tongzheng.

Xiao Yi served as the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, which has two advantages, on the one hand, he is Shen Yichen's iron party, and at the beginning of the Jingshi Guard War stage, Xiao Yi had led the logistics of the Tongzhou granary, and he had a strong talent for financial management.

On the other hand, it is because of the political envoy Le Yun, who is always worried about his subordinates, for fear that one day he will reproduce Xu Youzhen's operation of squeezing out Shi Pu and seizing his position as the general political envoy.

Xiao Yi's transfer to the Ministry of Finance is equivalent to eliminating the biggest threat to his official rank, Le Yun naturally raised his hands and feet in agreement, and by the way, the internal resistance of the civil official group was reduced a lot, and he soon reached a consensus with He Wenyuan.

As soon as these two important events were announced at the court meeting, many officials were shocked with expressions on their faces, they never expected that Shen Yichen would be able to reach such an exchange of interests with He Wenyuan in private, and sure enough, in front of interests, high-ranking officials could become friends today if they were mortal enemies yesterday, and they didn't even want to face each other!

At the same time, officials from some local wealthy families were vaguely aware that the withdrawal of the coinage right would harm their own interests, but the top level of the civil government group as a whole had reached a compromise, and sporadic opposition could not set off a storm at all.

After all, this is the orthodox dynasty in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, not the Jiajing Dynasty and the Wanli Dynasty in the middle and late periods, and the power of the local wealthy families is not enough to confront the center of the imperial court, let alone completely control the coinage power of the entire Ming Dynasty.

To be honest, the overseas trade smuggling group controlled by Shen Yichen is the largest private "chaebol" in the Ming Dynasty, and almost half of the precious metals are currently concentrated in the hands of major fleets and customs.

In addition to the officials who disagreed with the coinage right, there was also the right capital Yushi Yang Shan's face full of disbelief. He thought that the previous whistleblower behind his back would make Shen Yichen prevent Wang Wen from entering the cabinet, and even rely on himself to take on the internal response.

As a result, Yang Shan never expected that the other party used his own information to push the boat down the river, completed the exchange of interests with He Wenyuan, and sold himself mercilessly. In the past, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty called me Yang Shan a real villain, but in fact, Shen Yichen was the treacherous hypocrite!

A resentment of being abandoned and betrayed swept through Yang Shan's heart, but in the face of Shen Yichen, who was in the middle of the day, he was just incompetent and angry, and he didn't even have the courage to show it.

The end of a happy court meeting made Shen Yichen's reform and change take a big step forward again, corresponding to the alliance being held in the northern steppe, and the Mongolian Heavenly Sage Khan also announced the success of his reform to the six lords of ten thousand households!

At the end of the first year of the Ming Dynasty, the rebellion of the Arazhiyuan broke out in Mongolia, and he first relied on his many years of prestige and the absolute loyalty of the cowardly Xue army to complete the counterinsurgency under the extreme disadvantage, and took advantage of the situation to eliminate the disadvantages of the system of heterogeneous lords since Genghis Khan, and completely completed the unification of the entire Mongol Khanate.

Now, just as today, the Holy Khan also personally led 30,000 households in the left wing of Chahar, Khalkha and Uliangha, and named his youngest son Ashu Timur as Jinong (prince), and commanded 30,000 households in the right wing of Ordos, Tumut and Yongshebu.

But unlike the historical division, the eldest son Bolona Halle, who had been neglected before, was also named Jinong. It's just that in terms of tribal division, there is still a weak young son, and the former Jurchen three tribes have been fully annexed, and the tribe originally led by Borona Halle has been organized into 30,000 households in Liaodong, which are collectively known as the Dulbert Department to the outside world.

Compared with the 50,000 soldiers on the right wing owned by the youngest son Ashi Timur, the eldest son Bolonahal only had 30,000 soldiers, and most of them were Jurchens, and his equipment and horses were even weaker.

For this division of 10,000 households, he first thought that he had learned the lessons of civil strife and tried to level out a bowl of water as much as possible. But in the eyes of the eldest son, Bolonahal, he still felt a deep injustice.

You must know that at the time of the rebellion of the Agar Governorate, Bolonahal fought bloodily to protect his father Khan Yexian, and this completed the Jedi turnaround. As a result, the second brother still stepped on his head, just like when he first crossed the eldest son and directly named the youngest son Ashi Timur as the Mongolian Taishi.

Don't suffer from widowhood, but suffer from injustice, this is the ancient saying handed down by the sages of the Central Plains. First of all, the preference for the young son was renewed, so that the seed of resentment in Bolonahal's heart took root and sprouted, waiting for the opportunity to grow into a towering tree.

But so far, the seed is still a seed after all, and there is no time to germinate. In the face of his father Khan, Bolonahal is more of a worship and yearning, after all, this man does not need the halo of the golden family's bloodline, he can still stand on the top of the grassland!

"Father Khan, the Liaodong Army of the Ming Kingdom, together with the Korean soldiers and horses, has completed the conquest of the Tatar Mengke, and the lineage of Kublai Khan is extinct."

Bolonahal said to the Khan's throne that his 10,000-household tent location was in Eastern Mongolia, and he was facing each other across the wall from the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong border army, and he was very concerned about each other's intelligence information.

It can even be said that Bolonahal was able to complete the annexation of the Haixi Jurchen and the savage Jurchen in a short period of time, thanks to the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong Army under the order of Shen Yichen, the conquest and attack of the three Jurchen tribes.

Otherwise, Bolona Halle's power is still limited to the Jianzhou Jurchen Sanwei who took the initiative to take refuge, and it will not be able to quickly annex the entire Jurchen Sanbu.

Listening to the advice of the eldest son, Bolonahal, Tiansheng Khan also first showed a sneer on his face: "The Han people have an ancient saying, called the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, and the birds hide their bows. ”

The voice of this side fell, and Borona Halle answered: "The Liaodong Army of the Ming State not only exterminated the Tatar Department, but also stationed troops on both sides of the Yalu River, which is equivalent to recovering the land encroached upon by the subject country Korea over the years, and breaking the ancestral system of the country that Emperor Taizu did not conquer. ”

"It can be seen that the style of the Ming Kingdom has changed a lot in the past two years, and it has become more and more strong and belligerent."

Bolona Halle's narration made Shen Yichen's face appear in his mind, it was such a young man who looked weak at the beginning, and after taking charge of the Ming Dynasty, he changed the Confucian style of the previous inner and outer kings, and advocated the decisiveness of martial arts.

If time can go back to the past and give him another chance to choose, Shen Yichen sent an envoy to the Warat camp that day, even if he violated the rule that the two armies would not fight and not kill the envoys, he would definitely not let Shen Yichen return to the capital alive!

Just when he fell into memories first, Boluo Maoluohai, who was sitting on the other side, said with a solemn expression: "In the name of counterinsurgency, the Liaodong Army of the Ming State gave up the fetter policy it had followed in the past, and the full garrison controlled the subject country of Korea. ”

"In this way, the Liaodong Army can get a large rear, as well as direct grain and grass from North Korea, and its strength has been further improved."

"Shen Yichen, the prime minister of the Ming Kingdom, is scheming, he will never do meaningless things, he risks the infamy of bullying vassal states to control North Korea, he must have a bigger plan, presumably the target is our Great Mongolia!"

Boluo Mao Luohai was seriously injured in the Mongolian Civil War, and relied on his strong physical fitness to pick up a life, but he recuperated in the hospital bed for more than half a year and fell ill, and the whole person was not as good as before.

But he didn't treat him badly at first, and among the three thousand households under his personal command, he appointed Boluo Mao Luohai as the lord of Chahar Wanhu, which is equivalent to being promoted from a general to a tribal master.

As soon as Bo Luo Mao Luohai's voice fell, the cowardly Xue army's commander Wanhu Mandulu answered: "There is no need to think about it, the news from the Ming Dynasty should come from there, Shen Yichen plans to order the loyal prince Shi Heng to go west, and the intention has already been written on his face. ”

"He wants to flank our Mongolian tribes from the east and west, seize our pastures, and capture our people!"

Mandulu was full of anger when he said this, the Wuliang Ha Sanwei of Mongol in southern Mongolia had been annexed by the Ming State, and the blood of the Tatar Golden Family was given extinction by the Ming State, and now Shen Yichen was still thinking about the Northern Expedition.

Do you really think that the warriors of the steppe, the children of the eldest born, are lambs that can be slaughtered at will?
