Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 81
Wei Zhongxian also wanted to clean up Donglin quickly, so that he could control the court earlier.

The problem is that he is not nine thousand years old at this moment, and his descendants don't even have six ministers, let alone a cabinet scholar.

He can't tell the emperor, the emperor, this is my godson, why don't you give him six ministers or even a cabinet scholar!

Isn't this bullshit?
He has no eggs at all, okay!

If he rushed to catch Dong Lin at this moment and bit him madly, it was very likely that Dong Lin would knock out all his teeth.

It's cloudy for him, and he won't take such a risk.

This is what makes him most successful. When his strength is not enough, he will bear it and pretend to be a grandson. Once his strength rises, he will pounce on him with a groan and bite wildly!
In history, the Wei Dynasty, Wang An, Xili, Donglin, etc. were all planted in his hands in this way.

Just when he was a little impatient, the opportunity finally came.

Those guys in Donglin actually withheld the emperor's orders and refused to issue them!
He knew very well that the current emperor is a man of one word, very strong, if Donglin dares to go against the emperor like this, the emperor will definitely go crazy.

Sure enough, the next morning, the emperor lost his temper.

This is the opportunity!

There is a saying that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

He had been prepared for a long time, so when he received the news, he ran to the imperial study immediately.

Taichang rolled his eyes at Wei Zhongxian, who was smiling all over his face, pretending to be angry and said: "What are you doing, didn't you see I'm bothering you?"

Wei Zhongxian quickly pretended to be concerned and said, "Your Majesty, it's not worth getting angry for those guys. How about I let the slaves ask you to choose three thousand maids to quell the fire?"

Uh, this guy is really good at coaxing people.

To be honest, he has long wanted to draft.

It's not that he is as sensual as the rumors say, the main thing is that the maids in the palace are basically trained by Concubine Zheng, so he is worried!

Originally, he was going to come back to the draft after finishing his Jiangnan affairs.

Who knows, before he finished his affairs in Jiangnan, something big happened in Liaodong.

After surviving this rush, how could he have time to think about the draft.

This guy Wei Zhongxian just has winks, unlike Donglin, who is smelly and tough. He always thinks that everyone has to listen to them if he keeps saying that he is for the country and the people.

To be honest, Donglin should learn from Wei Zhongxian in this point, he should be able to bend and stretch, and the old stretch is as hard as a stone in a latrine, and he will be beaten sooner or later!

Hearing this, Taichang pretended to be moved and said, "Is it appropriate to draft at this time?"

Wei Zhongxian said without hesitation: "There is nothing appropriate or inappropriate about the emperor's matter. As long as you nod, the servant will immediately ask you to make arrangements for it."

Okay, let's nod our heads and think about it.

Taichang nodded slowly and said: "Well, you are the one who wins my heart, unlike those guys from Donglin who will make me angry."

This means that the emperor accepted my kindness, and hinted that I should teach Donglin a lesson!

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, why don't I teach you a lesson for those bastards who don't have eyes?"

Okay, question, how do you clean up the house?
Taichang pretended to hesitate and said, "Can you do it?"

This means that if it doesn't work, I can help you appropriately.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't be bothered, he immediately put on a loyal and virtuous look, and suggested: "Your Majesty, in fact, this servant has a way to get the best of both worlds, which can not only let you handle the affairs of the Shenwu Camp, but also help you teach a lesson. Donglin."

Taichang pretended to be interested and said: "Well, let's hear it."

Wei Zhongxian was so excited, he couldn't help but look forward and said: "Your Majesty, didn't they not issue your central purpose card to the cabinet? You just need to mention Huang Liji, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Gu Bingqian, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, as cabinet universities." Sergeant, this servant can let the edict go on, and at the same time can take the opportunity to teach Donglin a lesson."

You guy, you are really not ordinary greedy, you asked me for two cabinet bachelors at once!

That's all for Huang Liji, what the hell is Gu Bingqian?

Hearing the words, Taichang couldn't help being contemptuous, but after thinking about it, he nodded slightly and said: "Okay, today I will order the ministers to discuss and add cabinet ministers, as long as the names of Huang Liji and Gu Bingqian appear on the list, I choose them."

In fact, the cabinet ministers should have been added long ago, because Sun Chengzong and Yuan Keli, the cabinet scholars, both went to lead the army to deal with Jiannu. At this moment, there are only three people left in the cabinet. According to normal circumstances, five people should be added. Otherwise, the three of them would be exhausted.

After all, in such a large territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are at least four or five hundred copies of memorials a day. Five people write drafts, and one person has less than [-] copies. It is not too tiring. Three people write drafts, which is not ordinary up.

However, Dong Lin never mentioned this matter.

They probably also noticed that Wei Zhongxian was staring at the position of the cabinet scholar. With the emperor's favor for this guy, as long as he proposes to add cabinet ministers, it is really possible for this guy to succeed.

If it is a position that cannot be completely decided by the six ministers, they can still consider using it in exchange for some benefits. The cabinet is the center of power, and they naturally don't want Wei Zhongxian to get involved, so they would rather work harder on their own, and never mention the matter of adding cabinet ministers .

Wei Zhongxian probably also thought that it was impossible for Taichang to give him two positions of cabinet bachelor for no reason, so he kept waiting.

This time he took the opportunity, so he quickly brought it up.

Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed without hesitation.

Now it's all right, the cabinet has his people as internal support, and the supervisor of ceremonies criticizes him, and he can do some tricks from time to time. Once the two sides cooperate, it will be much easier to seize power.

He couldn't help but excitedly said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, just watch, this servant will definitely clean up those Donglin guys and vent your anger on you."

Okay, I still don't understand your little thoughts.

Taichang straightened his face, and said solemnly: "Be careful, you know the situation in Liaodong at the moment, don't make chaos in the court, and build slaves for nothing."

Uh, but also pay attention to proportion?
Wei Zhongxian was upset for a while, but on the surface he still nodded and bowed again and again: "I understand, I understand."

Taichang didn't bother to talk any more, so he just waved his hand and said: "Okay, you go and pass on my oral order, ordering the cabinet to summon a group of ministers, organize a court meeting, and add two cabinet ministers."

okay.

Wei Zhongxian went straight away.

This time, Donglin was furious.

At this juncture, the court discussed the addition of cabinet ministers, and it was Wei Zhongxian who passed the decree, so it didn't take much thinking to know that the emperor was taking revenge on them.

However, they couldn't stop it.

After all, it is the emperor's decision to add or even replace cabinet ministers. This is a rule, and they have no reason to refuse.

In history, Chongzhen also took advantage of this to get angry with the officials, and changed more than 50 cabinet ministers in one go, and they had nothing to do with him.

What happened next can be imagined. Although Wei Zhongxian didn't get important positions such as Liubu Shangshu and Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate during this period, he still got a lot of things like Liubu Shilang and Wusi Shaoqing. The Left Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites were already qualified to join the cabinet as prime ministers. Once the eunuchs made a move, they directly brought in Huang Liji and Gu Bingqian to add to the candidate list of cabinet ministers.

Even though Donglin also got a few out, it was of no use at all. The emperor had the final say on the candidates for the Cabinet University Scholars.

In the end, Huang Liji and Gu Bingqian joined the cabinet as they wished, Wei Zhongxian reciprocated, and immediately ordered the two guys to sign several orders issued by the emperor to the cabinet directly, regardless of the obstruction of the cabinet chief assistant Ye Xianggao, and sent them all down. .

Now Donglin is really out of control. If it is the imperial edict, they can still make people disobey it. If they disobey the imperial edict, they will be beheaded. If they dare to make their subordinates disobey the imperial edict, it will be strange if the emperor does not order them to be beheaded!
That's it for the matter of the Shenwu Camp.

Of course, this is just the beginning, Wei Zhongxian has gradually taken control of the power, and Donglin is not far from death.
