The candidates for the imperial cabinet have always been recommended by the courtiers, and most of the candidates are from the various ministries and scholars.

After the specific number is reported, the emperor will make the final decision.

In other words, before choosing, the emperor's mind has been revealed intentionally or unintentionally.

Therefore, there has always been no mistake in the selection of the cabinet.

Just like today's cabinet, Ye Xianggao is the leader, Sun Chengzong, Wang Qi, Wang Huazhen, Xu Guangqi, and Lu Yu are the auxiliaries, which is Zhu Youxiao's choice at the beginning.

But this time

Zhu Youxiao looked at Gu Bingqian with a smile on his face, and then looked at Zhang Shenyan with a surprised face.

This thing seems to be getting more and more interesting.

"Your Majesty," Shi Kefa had already realized that he had fallen into Gu Bingqian's trap, but for a while, there was no effective means to fight back, first bowed to Zhu Youxiao, and then stretched out his hand to point at Gu Bingqian: "Discord plan, you are a discord plan!" ”

As if he was afraid that everyone would not believe it, Shi Kefa looked back at the ministers and his colleagues, and while pointing at Gu Bingqian, he shouted: "He is a righteous person who wants to divide and disintegrate us!" ”

If Zuo Guangdou was here, looking at Shi Kefa's reaction, I am afraid that he would not spurt out a mouthful of old blood directly!

Donglin has never had a verbal dispute with this group of eunuchs!

Han Yi, how did Liu Yijing do it?

Yang Lian, how did Zuo Guangdou do it?

You haven't learned anything about Shi Kefa!

"Kenyuki! Still silent? Jiang Yueguang looked at Shi Kefa's chaotic appearance, only felt outrageous, and said in a low voice: "The saint is in the court, so like this, what kind of system has it become?" ”

In the end, Shi Kefa is just a civil official who grew up under the teaching of Zuo Guangdou, since he was a high school jinshi, he was born in Nanjing, and he has not been tempered by a magistrate, nor has he dealt with actual government affairs, and most of the time he is in the Qingliu Yamen, doing metaphysical affairs.

I don't know how to practice, I only know how to preach.

Now in the face of the menacing and well-prepared eunuchs, it is obvious that they have lost their proportions.

was snorted by Jiang Yueguang, Shi Kefa also sobered up in an instant, his face turned red, and this young imperial historian, who has been quite famous recently, turned his eyes to Zhang Shenyan who was not far away - this is a signal for help.

As long as Zhang Shenyan opened his mouth to reject Gu Bingqian's recommendation, then the eunuch party's plan would be self-defeating.

The situation in this court can still be balanced!

And Jiang Yueguang also looked at Zhang Shenyan expectantly.

I hope that this veteran of the Three Dynasties, the giant of Donglin, can really give the eunuch party a blow to the head!

But in the face of Jiang Yueguang and Shi Kefa's gaze, Zhang Shen moved half a step to the left without a trace.

Away from his Donglin colleagues.

Zhang Shenyan has obviously been attracted by the name of the first assistant of the cabinet, and he can't care about Shi Kefa.

Any civil official in the Ming Dynasty, facing the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, I am afraid that he will not be able to move.

Even if you let Zuo Guangdou come, you have to think about one or two.

What's more, Zhang Shenyan is already in his prime, and if he doesn't fight for it, in this life, the position that all civil officials hope for will pass by him.

Zhang Shenyan did not allow himself to lie in the coffin with regret.

Scold!

Gu Bingqian, who had been observing from the sidelines, almost burst out laughing.

This is simply a scene that is enough to be written into the history books: in ancient times, Yan Ying and Ertao killed three soldiers, and now Gu Bingqian killed Donglin with the empty name of Shoufu.

Regardless of whether Zhang Shenyan can become the first assistant of the cabinet today, the Donglin party in the DPRK is already disheartened and falling apart.

And Xiong Tingbi has been watching the outrageous scene staged in the court with a cold eye.

Since Wang Qi cut off the important ministers of the Donglin party, these rising stars have degenerated to this point?

It seems that there is no successor to Donglin.

Thinking of this, Xiong Tingbi's eyes shone again—isn't this his chance?

Not only Xiong Tingbi, but above the current court, too many people are waiting for the opportunity to bet.

Now, isn't this opportunity coming?

"Okay," Zhu Youxiao patted the armrest, and stood up from the dragon chair with Wei Zhongxian's support: "The matter of re-electing cabinet candidates, after the court meeting, Rong Zhen will think about it again, but today's court meeting is not meaningless."

Scanning around the hall, as far as the eye could see, no one dared to raise his head and look at himself, Zhu Youxiao was very complacent: "At present, the ministers of the cabinet, go to work first, stay at home to avoid suspicion, and wait for the three law divisions to conclude the case, and then make a final conclusion. During this period, the cabinet affairs were handled by Gu Bingqian, Jiang Yueguang, Xiong Tingbi, together with "

His eyes turned on Zhang Shenyan and Shi Kefa's bodies, Zhu Youxiao only thought it was interesting, and after a while, he said three words in Zhang Shenyan's expectant gaze: "Together with Shi Kefa and the other four people, we will deal with it first, but everything must be approved by the celebrant before we can make a decision!" ”

What?

The moment the Emperor of the Apocalypse spoke,

Not to mention what Shi Kefa's reaction was.

Zhang Shenyan, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, suddenly felt a sudden pain in the back of his head, and then his eyes were red, and his body had fallen backwards uncontrollably - this time it was a lifetime of fame, and it was ruined!

"Master Zhang!"

"Call the Imperial Doctor!"

"Doctor Xuan!"

For a moment, the courtiers were already in a mess.

And Zhu Youxiao on the jade step wiped his nose: It seems that the game is a bit big, this Zhang Shenyan died in the palace, Yu Zhen's reputation is not good!

"There is a decree in the saint, Lord Zhang has his own imperial doctor to take care of it, if there is nothing to do, the courtiers will return to the government and retire from the court!"

Wei Zhongxian clearly saw Zhu Youxiao's worries, and immediately called for the ministers to retreat.

Not long after, Zhang Shenyan was carried away by the imperial doctor for treatment, and the courtiers also bowed to Zhu Youxiao and left the hall.

"Wait for the resignation!"

Today's farce, all the ministers have opinions in their hearts, but the only thing they have in common is that in the future, you must be careful when serving this emperor.

Not long after, outside the palace gate.

Shi Kefa and Jiang Yueguang stood side by side, their faces extremely dignified.

"Just looking at Zhang Jinming (Zhang Shenyan, the word Jinming), I'm afraid it's a stroke," Jiang Yueguang sighed: "Even if I can wake up, from now on, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue to be an official." ”

Listening to Jiang Yueguang's words, Shi Kefa just nodded silently and did not reply.

"A generation of old ministers, Donglin veterans, ended up like this, Xianzhi," Jiang Yueguang turned his head to look at Shi Kefa: "The eunuch party has begun to put its hand into the cabinet, fortunately, the saint has a heart, you and I are among the ranks of the cabinet, and there is a long way to go!" ”

"Perhaps, there is one thing, we really did something wrong," after a while, Shi Kefa raised his head and said something mindless.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Yueguang was a little puzzled.

"Since Wang Qi left Beijing, the eunuchs may really be unscrupulous." Whether Shi Kefa admits it or not, this seems to be a fact that everyone can see.

"What do you mean," Jiang Yueguang opened his mouth slightly.

"Maybe there is a way to get Qi Guogong to return to Beijing as soon as possible." Shi Kefa smiled, as if he had thought of a brilliant way to crush the eunuchs.

Even though this method is somewhat appalling.
