Chapter 9
The sky is getting brighter, and the Grand Court has already started.

This is the first big court meeting after Nine Thousand Years' death, and the Donglin Party members are already gearing up and ready to beat the dog in the water.

As soon as Li Yunze sat down, the Donglin Party couldn't wait to jump out and launch a fierce offensive.

All the impassioned, saliva flying, and the roaring hall seemed to be trembling.

After listening to Li Yunze from beginning to end, he roughly understood what they meant.

The first thing is to severely punish the eunuchs, don't let any one go, the kind that beats to death.

This matter is understandable, after all, the Donglin Party was beaten too hard by the eunuchs a few years ago, such as Donglin Five Tigers, Six Gentlemen, Eight Gentlemen and so on.Either he was killed, or he died of illness after being demoted.

For example, the famous Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others have all died at this time.

It is understandable that the Donglin Party wants revenge.

What's more, I recommend the cabinet ministers.

The cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was originally just an organization similar to the Secretary's Office, but with the evolution of time, the cabinet has become a place that controls the state affairs and holds the power of the prime minister.

The position of cabinet ministers has become the focus of competition among various forces.

If you want to recommend cabinet ministers, the premise is to pull down the current cabinet elders first, so today the firepower of the Donglin Party is concentrated on several cabinet elders.

Li Yunze looked at Gu Bingqian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, "They are impeaching you, defend yourself."

At this time, the elders in the cabinet were almost all eunuchs.

Because of their high status, the previous arrests did not capture them. After all, only the emperor has the right to dispose of the cabinet elders.

Gu Bingqian, who was almost 80 years old, saluted tremblingly, "The old minister is guilty, please forgive me."

According to the rules, even if one is guilty after the age of seventy, one must be given dignity.This is a manifestation of China's traditional virtues of respecting the old and loving the young.

What Gu Bingqian meant was to plead guilty and accept punishment, and only asked Li Yunze to give him a way to survive.

Li Yunze is of course a person who respects the old and loves the young, but the premise is that you can't be a criminal.

Li Yunze knew what kind of person Gu Bingqian was.

"If you want to be decent, that's fine. Go to the Imperial Prison and ask Jin Yiwei what they mean. If they agree, then they will give you face."

Li Yunze waved his hand, and Wang Chengen at the side immediately called the big Han general to come forward, took off Gu Bingqian's official hat, and dragged him out of the hall.

Seeing that the cabinet's capital and assistants are all finished, the remaining cabinet elders, Huang Liji who killed Xiong Tingbi with a piece of paper, Shi Fenglai who proposed to build Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall, and Zhang Ruitu who wrote an inscription for Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall all took off their official posts. He gave a big salute to the hat and claimed that he was guilty.

"Guilty or not, go to the prison to defend yourself."

As the big Han generals dragged away several cabinet elders, the entire cabinet was instantly emptied, leaving only the last Li Guopu.

Theoretically speaking, to deal with a minister with the status of a cabinet elder, the three divisions must be interrogated.

But Li Yunze just got rid of Nine Thousand Years, and his prestige is growing.

The eunuch party fell, and the Donglin party beat the dog in the water, and no one in the court would speak well of them.

The Donglin Party decided to make persistent efforts and kill the last cabinet boss, Li Guopu, so that all the vacant positions could be filled with their people.

During the official affairs, Liu Honghua took the lead as a fortress, "The minister's impeachment of Li Guopu is a remnant of the eunuch party, and he and Wei Ni are from the same hometown!"

Li Yunze smiled, "Wei Zhongxian has many fellow villagers, so this is not a crime. If you use this as an excuse, then I will send you to his hometown and talk to the locals."

Liu Honghua was dumbfounded. If he really went to Wei Zhongxian's hometown and said that the local people were eunuchs, would he still be able to come back alive?
A wise person immediately noticed Li Yunze's intention, it was to protect Li Guopu.

They immediately skipped this matter and started recommending ministers instead.

The reason why Li Yunze kept Li Guopu was very simple, because it was said in the history books that he was able to do things and was honest.

This is above the court, which is a very rare character.

Everyone in the Donglin Party recommended Liu Yixiu, Han Yu, Qian Longxi and others to join the cabinet, trying to create a "Zongzhengying Dynasty" completely belonging to the Donglin Party. '

For these recommendations, Li Yunze refused to accept any of them.

He gestured to Wang Chengen with his eyes, and the latter immediately started to read an imperial decree.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor: The imperial edict said: hereby. Sun Chengzong. Xu Guangqi. Zhang Chunsun Chuanting. Wen Tiren."

Five people have been added to the cabinet, and Li Guopu who is left behind is enough.

Among them, Sun Chengzong is a member of the Donglin Party, and his qualifications are very old, so there is nothing to say.

But the remaining few were not recognized by the Donglin Party, and they immediately clamored in the court.

Li Yunze is not the face-saving Zhu Youjian, so he immediately signaled Honglu Temple Prime Minister, "How should we deal with the court when you roar at the court?"

"At court battle."

"Pull it out and fight!"

The big Han generals immediately sang "Hey" and rushed forward to drag out the shouting Donglin Party members.

There is no doubt that Li Yunze is trying to build his prestige.

At this time, the eunuch party fell, and the big bosses of the Donglin party either died or were resigned from their jobs at home. There were only two or three kittens in the court.

This is the best opportunity for Li Yunze to seize power, and of course he will not let it go.

As for the saying that court battles will bring fame and face to those who are beaten, Li Yunze doesn't care at all.

This trick of the Donglin Party can intimidate Zhu Youjian, but it can't scare him.

If they dare to make trouble, they will be beaten until they are subdued or killed.

"Sun Chengzong is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Wen Tiren is the second assistant." After speaking, Li Yunze got up and "retired from the court."

Needless to say, Sun Chengzong's name is a loyal and famous minister whose whole family died for the country.

Xu Guangqi, a great scientist, is most suitable to be in charge of the Ministry of Industry after joining the cabinet.

Zhang Chun seems to have no reputation, but he is a very capable minister.

He was born in Juren, and he has fought bloody battles with wild boarskin for many years, and has killed many post-gold generals.

After being defeated and captured in the Battle of Dalinghe, unlike Hong Chengchou who surrendered, he chose to go on a hunger strike to die for his country.

Capable and loyal, of course he is eligible to join the cabinet.

Needless to say, Sun Chuanting was a Shuangbi who was as famous as Lu Xiangsheng in the late Ming Dynasty.

As for Wen Tiren, he was undoubtedly a traitor, but Li Yunze chose him to join the cabinet.

The reason is simple, Sun Chengzong is going to be sent to Liaodong as the capital division for strategic command.

Zhang Chun is also going to Liaodong for tactical command.

Sun Chuanting is going to Shaanxi to deal with the bandits, and Xu Guangqi is doing technology.

The rest of Wen Tiren and Li Guopu were specially reserved by Li Yunze as answering tubes.

Only by controlling the cabinet can it be convenient for Li Yunze to save Daming.

Back in the imperial study, Li Yunze told Wang Chengen, "You go and deliver the decree, ordering some people to return to Beijing."

"Mangui, Zhao Lijiao, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, and Lu Xiangsheng. Let them lead their own troops into Beijing."

In fact, there were not many famous generals who could fight in the Chongzhen Dynasty, but they were all pitted too badly.

The things Li Yunze mentioned are all pillar-like existences.

Li Yunze, who had already been completely disappointed with the Ming army, was determined to rebuild a new army.These famous generals are his default commanders of the new army.

"and also."

Li Yunze thought of Mao Wenlong who insisted on guerrilla warfare in the enemy's rear, "Send 10 taels of silver to Dongjiang town, and another 20 shi of grain, and a hundred altars of imperial wine. You go to Dongjiang town and tell Mao Wenlong that I haven't forgotten that they are for Ming Dynasty." The contribution they have made has allowed them to do things well, and there will be a great reward after Liaodong is liberated."

"The decree will be given again, and Sun Yuanhua will be reinstated as the governor of Denglai, and the governor will take care of the logistics of Dongjiang and Liaodong. Send a team of Jinyiwei to Denglai with Sun Yuanhua, and kill all the souls who have been lost by sea and ransack their homes!"

Wang Chengen saluted respectfully, "Observe the order."

"and many more."

When Wang Chengen was about to go out, Li Yunze, who suddenly thought of something, stopped him, "Don't start yet, send a fast horse to call Sun Yuanhua back to Beijing, and then we will go together."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Chengen's legs softened in fright and fell to the ground.

"Shut up and get out."

With the issuance of imperial edicts one after another, the fate of many characters has also changed.

A number of famous ministers and generals came to Beijing one after another, and every time they came back, Li Yunze would summon a banquet on the platform, and then arrange specific duties for them.

During this period, Li Yunze also returned to the modern world, and received the artificial rainfall system, second-hand fishing boats and other materials purchased earlier, and stored them all in the warehouse and dock he rented.

On November 26, the seventh year of Tianqi, Li Yunze left Chaoyang Gate without informing the officials.

The entire capital city who got the news was in an uproar.

Since Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, successive Ming emperors have been hiding in the Forbidden City as otaku for hundreds of years.

Not to mention going out of Beijing, even going out of the palace is very rare.

When Li Yunze wanted to leave Beijing, it was tantamount to dropping a blockbuster.

Hundreds of officials and nobles collectively wanted to stop it, but those who didn't take the lead couldn't form a scale.

At this time, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Chun had already gone to Liaodong, and Sun Chuanting had gone to Shaanxi.

As for Wen Tiren, known as the emperor's answerer, he traveled with the cabinet seal.

The remaining Xu Guangqi and Li Guopu did not dare to meddle in their own business.Even if the officials jumped anxiously, they just shook their heads.

Someone wanted to invite Queen Mother Zhang to come forward, but the palace that had just been cleaned was extremely strict, and no news could be passed on at all.

Some people went to Chaoyang Gate to stop them, but they were driven away by the accompanying sergeant from a distance.

As for those distinguished nobles, all those who appeared at Chaoyang Gate had answered Li Yunze's words.

"Carry weapons, wear armor, carry a strong bow, ride a horse and go out with the frame."

There are many honors in Ming Dynasty, but years of prosperity and wealth have already corrupted them, as you can see from the Dream of Red Mansions.

But since Li Yunze had already spoken, they could only bite the bullet and tell the servants to go home quickly to get their weapons and armor.

After the news spread, those nobles who didn't come to Chaoyang Gate also urgently mobilized their children to come to report.

Unlike those officials who can beg for bones to retire, the nobles live by the emperor in a true sense.

The emperor is satisfied, and the nobles are prosperous and rich.

The emperor was dissatisfied, and there was nothing difficult except their titles.

The reason why the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were inferior to each other was largely because they hid in the Forbidden City all the year round, had no access to the real people's livelihood, and were trapped in an information cocoon.

Li Yunze is different, he is not a person who only knows how to hide and have fun.

The traveling team waited outside the Chaoyang Gate all morning, and dispersed all the officials to arrest honorable nobles and join them until it was three poles in the sun.

"Who else?"

"My lord, no one has come to stop me for an hour."

"set off!"

Li Yunze has many things to do, such as putting fishing boats into the Bohai Bay for fishing, experimenting with the artificial rainfall system, surveying the route from Beijing to Tianjin Wei along the way, and so on.

By the way, I have to see with my own eyes along the way, what is the living standard of the people of Ming Dynasty.

The official system of the Ming Dynasty was very developed, but the quality was worrying.

Even the road from Lianzhou to the capital is a dirt road with dust and mud in rainy days.

Li Yunze planned to build a road leading to Tianjin Wei, and if possible, build a railway.After that, it can be transported by sea to transport troops, food, people and goods.

Shipping is the most convenient, fast and effective way in this era.

After an afternoon's journey, the team came to Tongzhou, dozens of miles away.
