Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 664 New Cabinet

If the power loses its restraint, if it loses its supervision, it will be like a scourge, which will cause extremely serious and bad effects.

In fact, since the Wanli Dynasty, Ming Dynasty has been going downhill, especially the continuous party disputes, which seriously damaged the political order of Ming Dynasty.

When everyone thinks about fighting for power and profit, using power for personal gain, and fighting against dissidents, no one will put their minds on the right path at all, which leads to problems one after another in the late Ming Dynasty, and thunder after another. Once it is broken, it is too difficult to win it back.

The resignation of the chief minister of the cabinet, Han Yu Shangshu, caused an uproar between the government and the opposition. No one thought that Han Yu would actually resign in such a special period.

This leads to a lot of speculation.

Some politicians who are proficient in calculations in the court know that Han Yu's resignation must be the emperor's intention, which also makes some people's minds come alive.

The chief assistant of the cabinet resigned. If the emperor allows it, the temptation of the vacant position of chief assistant is too great.

"The Qing family thinks how many people in the court at this moment are focusing on the next court meeting?" Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, looked at Xu Guangqi who was standing with his hands down, and said with a smile: " How many pairs of eyes are staring at the Forbidden City at this moment?"

"I don't know."

Xu Guangqi clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty, out of consideration for the community, Wan Mo agrees to Han Yuanfu's petition at this time."

"Could it be that the Qing family has no idea about the position of chief assistant in the cabinet?" Emperor Chongzhen kept smiling, looking at Xu Guangqi and said.

"No."

Xu Guangqi bowed again: "The position of the chief assistant of the cabinet is an important weapon of our Ming Dynasty, and an important minister who assists His Majesty. Of course, Han Yuanfu said that on some things..."

Listening to what Xu Guangqi said, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but shook his head with a smile. For the position of chief assistant in the cabinet, others were eager to get it, but Xu Guangqi was different. Come by yourself.

As for why this is so.

Emperor Chongzhen was also clear.

Without him.

It is affected by the current court situation.

"You don't need to persuade the Qing family anymore."

Emperor Chongzhen restrained his mind, waved his hand and interrupted: "The matter of Han Yu Shangshu's resignation is my intention, and there are some things that we can have a good chat with only our monarchs and ministers now.

I want to make Daming better.

I want Daming to rejuvenate.

So in the past, in many matters, they were very arbitrary, which also caused some arguments to appear in the outer dynasty, violating the ancestral patriarchal system, blocking the way of speaking, not listening to advice, and so on.

I want to ask the Qing family, do you think I have done wrong in the past? "

Xu Guangqi was silent.

When the emperor said such words, he clearly expressed his attitude. The candidate for the chief assistant of the cabinet must be changed. Han Yu repeatedly resisted with silence and cold treatment, which was obviously not what the emperor wanted.

Daming had so many problems, how could the emperor have the energy to deal with them.

"I feel that most of what His Majesty has done in the past is right, and a few are wrong."

Xu Guangqi pondered for a moment, and under the watchful eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, he bowed and saluted and said, "Your Majesty's fault is that you shouldn't trust the ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Even though there are some lawbreakers and some violators of the law among them, the ministers feel that most of them , is loyal to Daming, and is loyal to His Majesty."

"So I need a cabinet minister to help me solve these problems."

Faced with Xu Guangqi's remonstrance, Emperor Chongzhen was not angry, but instead smiled and said: "I need to spend more energy and time to sort out the contradictions and bad governance accumulated by the Ming Dynasty over the years, and eradicate those malignant tumors that have grown.

But if you want to do these things well, you can't do it without a stable court.

In addition to doing his job well, the chief assistant of the cabinet should also take care of me, worry about the community, and maintain a fair heart that should be there.

I also know it's hard.

But in this world, who is not difficult?
It's hard to be an official in Ming Dynasty.

This is not only the direction of public opinion between the government and the opposition, I also feel the same way. After all, the atmosphere is broken, and it is very difficult for those who want to stick to their hearts and do more practical things.

But I, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, is easy to do?
The problems, troubles, and contradictions that I am facing, have I ever told the ministers of the court?Is it really useful to say this? "

Xu Guangqi was silent again.

Through what the emperor said, Han Yu's dismissal is already an established fact, and the emperor has great ambitions, Xu Guangqi is clear about this.

As far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, compared with the early days of Emperor Yuji, there are already great changes.

Xu Guangqi is pleased with these changes.

At least the current Daming has hope in Xu Guangqi's eyes, not that there is no hope at all.

"Qing Family, can you resist infamy?" Looking at the silent Xu Guangqi, Emperor Chongzhen leaned forward, narrowing his eyes slightly and said, "Can you stick to that public heart?"

"Chen Neng!"

Xu Guangqi said firmly.

"Okay! This is my pillar of talent."

Emperor Chongzhen clapped the case and said, "Han Yu resigned from the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, and this position will be vacant. I don't plan to push it this time. The current situation in the court is so chaotic. If the government pushes it down like this, I don't know what will happen. How much trouble.

I intend to issue a decree to promote the Qing family to serve as the chief assistant of the cabinet, to do more things for me in the cabinet, to worry about the community, and to share my worries.

Cabinet ministers Zhou Daodeng, He Ruchong, Qian Xiangkun, and Wu Zongda were all dismissed!I want to promote Huang Liji and Liu Hongxun to the cabinet to assist the government. The missing governor of Shanxi will be Fu Zonglong, Minister of Military Affairs. "

Xu Guangqi: "..."

Xu Guangqi was shocked by what the Son of Heaven said. He promoted the positions of Chief Assistant and Cabinet Minister with the central purpose, and dismissed Zhou Daodeng, He Ruchong, Qian Xiangkun, and Wu Zongda. It will inevitably cause an uproar between the government and the opposition.

If this is the case, the new cabinet will be led by the chief assistant Xu Guangqi, the second assistant Wen Tiren, and the group assistants Bi Ziyan, Zhou Yanru, Huang Liji, Liu Hongxun, and Wang Qia. To become the seventh place, this kind of adjustment is very big, and this kind of influence is very big.

Let Xu Guangqi replace Han Yu as the first assistant minister of the new cabinet. This was finally decided by Emperor Chongzhen after careful consideration.

Like Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Chen Qiyu, Sun Chuanting, and Yuan Keli, the emperor of Chongzhen had never thought about promoting some of them to the cabinet, but they left their posts, and the northern provinces that had initially opened up the situation, what should they do? Who will replace it?

Even if someone can replace them, will it ensure that the changed situation will be maintained and evolve towards Emperor Chongzhen's expectations?

The answer is obviously already, impossible!

No one can replace what Sun Chengzong did.

No one can replace what Lu Xiangsheng did.

No one can replace what Sun Chuanting did.

No one can replace what Yuan Keli did.

No one can replace what Chen Qiyu did...

How could the situation that Emperor Chongzhen worked so hard to open up suffer any damage like this, so none of the above-mentioned people in the cabinet at this stage can be promoted from the local government.

"The future cabinet, whether it is the first assistant, the second assistant or the group assistant, will clearly have a term of five years."

Emperor Chongzhen lifted up the sleeves of his robe, looked at Xu Guangqi and said, "Unless you make a major mistake and cause irreversible losses to the court, you will no longer accept the resignation of the Shangshu, and you will no longer dismiss the cabinet ministers easily.

Qing family, in such a special period, if you choose to stick to your public heart, share your worries for me, and worry about the community, then you must be prepared to be accused of infamy.

I will not force the Qing family on this matter, if the Qing family feels that the pressure is too great..."

"Minister...Xu Guangqi, take the decree and thank you!"

Xu Guangqi's eyes were firmer than ever before, and he bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "I am willing to share the worries for your majesty and worry about the society. If there is anything wrong with your majesty in the future, I will uphold a public heart and remonstrate with your majesty!"
