Spring goes to autumn, year after year, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed. In the past ten years, Xia Yuanji has left. The person who took over the position of his household secretary was Fang Buli, the governor of Jiliao. Fang Buli took the position of the head of the household department, and with the support of Zhu Zhanji, he carried out a drastic reform of the imperial court's financial revenue and expenditure, and the treasury, which had been empty for many years, had a surplus for the first time, and the Ming Dynasty was revitalized. Fang Buli's status in the DPRK is getting higher and higher, and in the end, there is no one to replace him, Zhu Zhanji feels that he is almost ready to let him enter the cabinet. But Sanyang and Fang are not separated from each other, stuck and do not let Fang not leave the cabinet, and the court is inseparable from the reform of the household, the world regards him as the prime minister, known as the prime minister. The household department has become the heaviest and most special one among the six departments.

As for the Huashan faction, because there is an enemy who is the head of the household, it will be miserable. Although in the past ten years, the status of the Huashan faction has become higher and higher, almost catching up with Shaolin Wudang, but the business under his command is difficult to expand. Even if Huashan wanted to buy a piece of land and open a tailor shop, it could attract the Colonial Industry Bureau, the Taxation Bureau, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and the Yamen of the Three Divisions to conduct repeated surveys.

Zhou Budo sent several letters to Yang Rong, and Yang Rong also planned several times, trying to bring down Fang Buli. It's a pity that Fang Buli is well-off, and his chest is also full of Taoluo, and those several political struggles ended in nothing, but it caused Fang Buli's counterattack. Because of this, the hatred of the Huashan faction for the imperial court has accumulated to the extreme. Just wait for the time, the retaliating party will not leave, and the revenge will be on the household... and even take revenge on the imperial court.

Finally... The time has come. In the first month of the spring of the tenth year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty, he sat on the dragon chair for ten years, withdrew his troops and pacified the rebellion, Zhu Zhanji, died. The nine-year-old crown prince Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne as emperor, because of his young age, state affairs were in the hands of the Zhang family, who was the empress dowager. Perhaps he accepted the lesson of the Empress Dowager Dou in the early Han Dynasty, although the Zhang family respected her status, she did not reuse her mother's family, and even did not allow her relatives to interfere in state affairs.

I like to reuse the old ministers since Renxuan, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu, who are known as the 'Three Yangs', are still among the cabinet scholars, and although Fang Buli is not treated by the Zhang family, he has also maintained his status as a household secretary and a minister. For a time, the sea was stable, the officials were honest, the treasury was abundant, and the people of the world were all praised. The Huashan faction also pressed the thought of revenge, and only regarded it as their own bad luck. But only Zhou Budo knows that this is just the beginning...

In the fifth year of orthodoxy, Yang Rong, the biggest supporter of the Huashan faction in the court, died with the nickname Wen Min. Originally, Yang Rong's death was an excellent opportunity for the other party to enter the cabinet, but unfortunately, who let the Huashan faction catch the line of the Empress Dowager Zhang? So, Fang Buli sat in the position of the head of the household for two years.

Two years later, that is, in the seventh year of orthodoxy, the Huashan faction finally caught up with the death of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the Huashan faction thought that it was over, and it could no longer stop Fang Buli from entering the cabinet, and Fang Buli also thought that his entry into the cabinet was in front of him, but the remaining two of the 'three Yangs' joined forces to resist Fang Buli's entry into the cabinet. It turned out that in the past ten years, Fang Buli has made too many feats and fame, whether it is Yang Shiqi or Yang Pu, they are not sure to suppress this Hubu Shangshu who is regarded by the outside world as a 'plan', and under the jealousy, the two finally joined forces once. But... There seems to be a shadow of a eunuch behind this...

After being depressed for a few more years, Fang Buli finally came when Xue Yu left his third son for him. In the ninth year of orthodoxy, Yang Shiqi died, nicknamed Wenzhen. That year, Yang Pu was old and frail, and he couldn't stop Fang Buli's footsteps. Twenty-five years after Fang Buli entered the official career (the Ming Dynasty Zhongju belonged to the reserve officials!), at the age of forty, he stepped into the most core institution of the Ming Dynasty - the cabinet. The ambitious Fang Buli has his own ambitions, and Fang Buli, who has been suppressed for nearly 20 years, is not focused on a cabinet, nor just a Ming Dynasty, in his eyes, it is the whole world.

In the eleventh year of orthodoxy, Yang Pu died, and his nickname was Wending. The last one who could restrain Fang and suppress the eunuchs of the Inner Court (perhaps it is more appropriate to say that it is more appropriate to say that the elders of the Four Dynasties) died. After years of ups and downs in officialdom, Fang Buli no longer takes this future 'emperor' in his eyes. He also has enough identity, scheming and fame, and he is confident that he can suppress this dead eunuch who can't even lift people. Because he is the youngest veteran of the Three Dynasties in history, and he is also the founder of the policy who single-handedly planned the accession of two emperors to the throne, and he is also the minister who stayed behind by Zhu Zhanji.

It all went so smoothly. is also right, one is the prime minister of the court who has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, has made outstanding achievements, has countless party members, and is not less famous and powerful than Yiho, and the prime minister in the eyes of the people of the world. The other is a eunuch who can't even take the exam, works as a eunuch in the palace, and has nothing but the favor of the Son of Heaven. Whoever it is, I don't feel that anything is wrong. It's clear who wins and who loses.

But no one would have thought that the problem was that Fang Bu could not leave Yiho's fame and power. In order to consolidate the imperial power, Zhu Yuanzhang was imprisoned and the prime minister was abolished, and the prestige of the cabinet scholars was actually just the secretary team around the emperor. But this famous and powerful man who is not less powerful than Isho has entered the cabinet, and he has been all over the court, and no one can stop even one of his sneezes. Who can guarantee that this big man will not restore Zhongshu Province and become another Zhongshu Province prime minister after Hu Weiyong?

What's more, with the death of Sanyang and the death of the Queen Mother, there is no one who can compete with the eunuch Wang Zhen, who has always been favored by Emperor Zhu Qizhen, in the inner court. In the inner palace, perhaps not only in the inner palace, but even in the outer court, Wang Zhen, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi, also began to emerge and make waves. The politics of the Orthodox Dynasty began to slip into a slippery slope. At this time, Emperor Qia Qia grew from a young son of heaven to a hot-blooded young man, and he had the ambition to stabilize the country.

But Fang Bu did not want to move, and the Ming Dynasty was built on the ruins left by the Meng Yuan. Whether it is taxation, political system, official system, official system, military system or military and political system, they are all holes, and the painstaking management of the past 20 years has finally helped the Ming Dynasty to make up for the tax lesson. But if the others don't get rid of the old evils, change the system, and let Fang Buli find how much wealth he has found for the imperial court, it will not be enough to avoid those holes. Even the finances that have improved may be dragged down again.

How can the two of them talk about going together? But Fang Buli's prestige and power are too great, and his party members are all over the two of the Ming Dynasty, Beijing, and 11 provinces (where are the other two provinces?) Do you think Shaanxi and Shanxi will be able to resist the Huashan faction that unifies the martial arts of the two provinces after Fang Buli leaves? Even if Zhu Qizhen was choked by Fang Buli, he had the idea of deposing Fang Buli several times, but he wanted to find a suitable candidate to impeach Fang Buli, Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen asked for a list of officials inside and outside the court from the ministry, and after searching in the palace for half a year, they didn't find a suitable candidate. can only sit back and watch the party step by step, grabbing power.

How could Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen conceal what Fang Buli planned in the palace? A eunuch in the inner court who had already been on good terms with Fang Buli secretly reported to Fang Mansion, and Fang Buli smiled disdainfully, in his opinion, Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen were just two dolls, and they could bring themselves down by just pushing the glass and changing the lamp at the banquet? They didn't even bother to beat, and they were taking care of themselves to carry out the changes and restructuring of the other departments of the six departments. Dissatisfaction is accumulating in my heart.

It is also the will of the heavens, or rather: the heavens are evil, but they can do it, and they cannot live. A year later, Fang Buli's drastic reforms finally triggered an outbreak of discontent accumulated by the conservative faction, and all the gentry and officials and people in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Yunnan and Nanzhili provinces and one capital. Kuang Ye, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Wang Zuo, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, the head of the six departments, Wang Zhi Wang Tianguan. Seeing this opportunity, the three of them went up to the party to correct the impeachment of 13 cases of lawlessness.

But the strange thing is that the Son of Heaven, who has long been dissatisfied with the other party, is indifferent. But this is also in the calculation of the three ministers. Originally, the three of them didn't plan to kill him with one blow, because they knew that Fang Buli's foundation was too deep, and if they were in a hurry, they would rebel immediately, and it was estimated that no one would be able to stop him. This impeachment is just a bad anger that the affairs of the three ministries have been usurped by the household department, and as for what the consequences, the three of them are ready to resign...

Just when the New Party was ready to fight back. Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who is still old and can be regarded as a veteran of the Five Dynasties, finally made a move.

Ginger, still old spicy. Hu Hui's cleverness lies in the fact that he does not impeach Fang and does not leave him, but impeaches the third brother of Li Xian, the backbone of the party. If you want to say that this Master Li San is enough to embarrass his brother, as the head of the household department, he actually prostitutes in the Qinglou. As soon as this incident came out, public opinion was in an uproar, and Li Xian had to petition for guilt, and finally was reprimanded by Liaodong and made a military preparation.

It doesn't matter if Li Xian falls, but he is the only chain that maintains the New Party and the Xungui Group after Xue Lu's death. With Li Xian's departure, one by one members of the New Party were released from Beijing. In the end, it was the cabinet scholar and the head of the household who were transferred to Liaodong to make a Liaodong economic strategy. As a result, the mighty New Party collapsed, and the vigorous Xuanzheng reform came to an abrupt end. Zhu Qizhen, the orthodox son of heaven, finally pulled out the thorn in his back, and Wang Zhen, the eunuch of the inner court, also obtained the power he dreamed of.

Zhou Budo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Because, the opportunity is finally coming. (To be continued.) )
