Chapter Twenty-Six: The rampant nature of the Ming Cabinet has no bottom line for selling official positions

Abolish the Emperor!

The huge cabinet hall was quiet and scary for a moment.

“......”

For a while, everyone's eyes looked at the second assistant Chen Yan in unison, such a scene, once upon a time, they had seen it.

More than ten years ago, at that time, Chongzhen wanted to use Changyang Botangji to check and balance the civil official group.

Unfortunately, he still failed.

As the monarch of the Ming Kingdom, Chongzhen had no way to oppose the "common opinion" of the cabinet and civil and military officials.

At that time, in order to let Chongzhen comply.

The first assistant of the cabinet who took office, personally led the team, led the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and threatened to force the palace with the threat of a hundred officials to strike the dynasty, and later, Chongzhen had no choice but to compromise.

Changyang Bo Tangji became cannon fodder.

(Died due to an accidental fall from a horse)

"Elder Chen Ge, is this necessary?"

Li Guozhen, as a great Ming noble, was still a little stunned when he heard Chen Yan's murderous words.

Nima!

This pavilion guy has such a big temper, and those who don't know think he is the king of the Ming Kingdom.

Grunt!

He was full of horror and fear.

However, it has to be said that the civilian clique of the Ming Kingdom firmly controls the power of the Ming Kingdom through the cabinet.

"Uncle Xiangcheng, our lord, he is floating."

"I want to repeat what happened to Changyang Bo Tangji again."

"Ignoring the cabinet, bypassing the edict of our Cabinet Minister, and not eradicating our cabinet in the coming day, do you think such a thing is still a trivial matter?"

Chen Yan said.

"Me?!"

Li Guozhen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, did not refute it, and changed places, Chen Yan's words still made sense.

It's just that he still feels a little excessive.

Abolish the Emperor?!

Now, the thief Li Zicheng waved his army to the east and replaced him with a new emperor, which is not conducive to the stability of the imperial situation.

Actually, he was also worried.

Once the Ming Kingdom is gone, what will happen to him, the glory and wealth of Xiangcheng Bo? This title was earned by the ancestors, and if the dynasty changes, he will not die, and it will be impossible for him to continue to enjoy glory and wealth.

However, he believes that these "human-like" dog officials are afraid that they have already found a home.

From beginning to end, he was just a pawn.

"Chen Gelao, how old are you, and you still have such a big temperament."

"Ladies and gentlemen."

"Ascendant, after all, he is the king of our Ming Kingdom, supported by the people, supported by the nobles, there is no reason, how can you talk lightly about abolishing the establishment?"

"Besides."

"You have also seen that the current situation, the situation is changing, and the momentum of the thief Li Zicheng's Eastern Expedition is becoming more and more ferocious.

"As for the appointment of the Lord of England."

"Didn't the military newspaper say it? Someone rebelled, and the king had to do something special. What is the basis for us to force the palace to be abolished? ”

"Don't forget, we are all loyal ministers of the Ming Kingdom."

Wei Zaode, who had not spoken, opened his eyes and said.

As Shousuke, he has absolute authority.

As soon as he spoke, even if it was Chen Yan, he had to bow his head.

First, what he said makes sense.

If they force the palace to abolish the emperor now, then they are chaotic ministers and thieves, maybe this is exactly what Chongzhen wants to see, and when the time comes, a sentence of Qingjun's side, I am afraid that few of them will be alive.

Second, as the leader of the Donglin Party today, how can he ignore Wei Zaode's words? !

Their civilian clique was able to control the cabinet and control the king because of Donglin Academy.

(Therefore, they formed a party for personal gain and operated the court)

"That's exactly what Shousuke-sama said."

"Chen Gelao, we still have to discuss a suitable way to deal with it now, to balance Zhang Shize, and not let him control the defense of [Shuntian City]."

"This is our lifeline."

"The power of the army must be in our hands."

Zhang Denian, the secretary of the military department, said.

"Master Zhang, as the secretary of the military department, do you have any good strategies to deal with it?"

Wei Zaode asked.

"Lord Shoufu, Chen Gelao, and all of you."

"Now we should be in the same direction."

"Abolish the emperor, it seems that the time is not ripe at present, but we can make a fuss about the defense of [Shuntian City], we can win over Wu Sangui, and he will be responsible for the defense of the capital."

"Once there are Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses to balance Zhang Shize in the Beijing camp, if you want to come, we, the king, can only stare dryly."

"Right."

Zhang Denian said.

"It's not right."

"Shanhaiguan is an important military town for my Ming Kingdom to resist Jiannu, and there is no room for loss."

"Once Wu Sangui leads his troops back to Wangcheng to garrison, who will be in charge of Shanhaiguan. Zhang Shize VS Jiannu, which is more important, I believe that all of you can carry it clearly, right? ”

The Ministry of Rites, Xu Runyuan, said.

"Gao Jie, the deputy of Liu Zeqing, the general of the Shandong army, is also a general at the level of the general army, and he also has 100,000 elites in his hands, and he can replace Wu Sangui and guard the Shanhaiguan."

Zhang Denian proposed.

"Lord Zhang, who is that Gao Jie, you don't know, he was originally a grasshopper, and later, even if he was recruited as the chief soldier, his nature is difficult to change, and he can't be allowed to take on heavy responsibilities."

"Shanhaiguan, as the gateway to my Ming Kingdom, once lost, the allies of Jiannu and Mongolia will be able to besiege Shuntian City in less than three days."

This time, the person who raised the objection was still the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Runyuan.

In the final analysis, he is still patriotic.

After all, he is a Ming man.

"You don't have to argue, we still have to vote."

"The minority obeys the majority."

Second assistant Chen Yan said.

Looking at his appearance, he also agrees with Zhang Denian's proposal.

This time, Shoufu Wei Zaode did not express his position.

(Default)

“.......”

Xu Runyuan suddenly understood in his heart, he knew that these people had received Gao Jie's benefits.

On the evening of three days ago, he received a filial piety from Gao Jie, a total of 100,000 taels of silver, and his request was to agree to Gao Jie as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

At that time, he resigned.

Today, it seems that Wei Zaode and Chen Yan have received the benefits of Gao Jie, and for this reason, they did not hesitate to betray the interests of the Ming Kingdom, which made him extremely disappointed.

"Agreed!"

Zhang Denian expressed his position.

Ministry of Justice: Agreed.

Tobe Shoshu: Agreed.

All of them agreed.

In the end, Wei Zaode and Chen Yan also expressed their position and agreed.

"I abstain."

Xu Runyuan was helpless.

After that, these cabinet officials began to play a twist, and when they went to court for a while, they would argue with reason and push Gao Jie to sit in Shanhaiguan.

A little eunuch listened quietly outside the hall, and then he quietly left.

"Hmm!!"

As soon as he walked out of the cabinet hall, a figure appeared behind him, and a long sword slashed him to death from behind, and he was unwilling to die.

Afterwards.

People were mercilessly thrown to the ground.

Let the other party's blood drain.

"We've been staring at you for days, and if it weren't for Shousuke-sama not allowing us to do it, we would have killed you a long time ago."

Half an hour later, the eunuch was discovered by the palace guards, and the matter was also reported to Wang Chengen.

Syllable!!

As soon as he heard that his informant was killed outside the cabinet hall in the open, Chongzhen on the side directly smashed his beloved Jade Dragon Cup.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger."

"The dragon body is the top."

Wang Chengen knew that the current cabinet must have known the news that Zhang Shize went to Beijing to take office, otherwise, they would not have demonstrated so nakedly.

"Is there any news from Zhang Shize? Did he take over the military power of the Beijing camp, and is the current Jiumen City Defense already in his hands? ”

Chongzhen asked.

"Your Majesty, if there is no news, that's good news."

"According to the slaves, the reaction of the cabinet may just show that the British prince has taken control of the military power of the Beijing camp, which is why they are so angry."

Wang Chengen persuaded.
