Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 590 Announcing the new chief minister of the cabinet
A shower before dawn wets the entire city of Beijing, reducing the summer heat a lot.

The imperial officials who rushed to Miyagi early felt a sense of coolness, and the chief assistant of the cabinet, Gao Hongtu, also greedily took a deep breath to relieve the heat in his heart.

The candidate for the new Chief Assistant will be announced soon.

Frankly speaking, Gao Hongtu hated such a system in his heart, because once His Majesty re-selected him as the chief assistant, he would suddenly fall from the cloud to the bottom, which was tantamount to being dismissed directly!

Gao Hongtu has gotten used to the feeling of being the first assistant, especially after His Majesty Zhu Youjian strengthened the power of the first assistant in the cabinet, the sense of accomplishment brought to him by one person under ten thousand is simply intoxicating.

However, Gao Hongtu is still confident that His Majesty will continue to appoint him as the first assistant. After all, he has not done anything out of the ordinary, but in order to ensure that he will not be affected by his alliance, he can't help but ask Hui Wang Zhu Cihong while passing by. He said, "Your Highness, you haven't done anything these days, have you?"

Hui Wang Zhu Cihong didn't understand the meaning of Gao Hongtu's sudden question to himself, and shook his head instinctively: "I didn't do anything, I always followed the teacher's teachings, only studied government affairs with the gentlemen in the ministry, and only studied when I went home. .”

"Very good, very good, rest assured, Your Majesty, although His Majesty is wise and capable, he still needs an obedient son. If you live in peace and seek peace in the world, His Majesty will not stop thinking about you. I will use the strength of the cabinet to find the crown prince for His Highness!"

When Gao Hongtu said this, Zhu Cihuang felt joy in his heart and laughed: "Don't worry, sir, you will definitely be able to stay as the chief assistant. Even the third younger brother said that the world is initially settled, and the emperor will not easily replace the chief assistant."

"Third brother? Your Highness, you still have to walk your own way in the future, and you have to make up your own mind. After all, it is you who will inherit the throne in the future, not the third prince."

Gao Hongtu advised him that he hoped that Zhu Cihong could learn to think proactively instead of relying on other people's guidance.

After all, today's Ming Dynasty is not like before. Once the prince of the empire has the support of the civil society, he will be as stable as Mount Tai. Even Emperor Wanli had to compromise in the end.

Gao Hongtu knew that it was Wanli who could not change the prince, but that he was unable to fight against the entire civil official group, and now there is no civil official group in Ming Dynasty, the prince is used by various factions, and they all want to seek greater benefits for themselves in the future, but today The emperor's pulse is not accurate, so if he wants to become the prince of the empire, it is difficult to win without his own opinions, unless he takes a risky approach.

Zhu Cihong nodded. Now that he is an adult, he still feels a little disgusted by Gao Hongtu's education in his heart, because he always feels as if he is a stupid child who has not grown up in the eyes of these ministers who support him.

"Since Mr. Gao Ge took office as chief assistant, he has been conscientious and hard-working. He fought against the southward movement of Jianlu and the Northern Expedition. If not for the chief assistant's help, it would be difficult to win today's victory, not to mention the salt tax reform. This will benefit future generations. The act of benefiting the world and benefiting the people, if it wasn’t for Ge Laoshe’s small family, it would be very beneficial to the world, and now the people of our Ming Dynasty would hardly realize that every family has salt, so in Hua’s view, the new chief assistant may still be Ge Lao.”

At this time, Hua Yuncheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came over to Gao Hongtu and cupped his hands and said.

Several other ministers also came over to salute Gao Hongtu one after another.

Gao Hongtu also had a smile on his face, but he was quite uneasy in his heart: "Although these people are the same supporters of King Hui as I am, they did not forget to praise and kill me Gao in the position of chief assistant. It can be described as two-faced and three-handed!"

"Xiao Wang is also here to wish Elder Ge will continue to serve as the chief assistant!"

Yong Wang Zhu Cihuan also smiled at this time and saluted Gao Hongtu, and Gao Hongtu hurriedly supported Zhu Cihuan: "Your Highness, please get up quickly, the old minister dare not bear His Highness's big gift, Your Highness and Hui Wang are brothers, It's when we work together!"

"That's right, I've always thought that father should restore the position of eldest brother and crown prince!" Yongwang Zhu Cihuan smiled slightly.

Gao Hongtu didn't know whether Yong Wang Zhu Cihuan really thought so or pretended to think so. In any case, he had to admit that the idea Yong Wang Zhu Cihuan said was worthy of his own affirmation: "Does His Royal Highness Yong Wang understand righteousness deeply!"

……

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian appeared in front of the ministers, and when the crown swayed slightly, he began to announce:

"After carefully reading hundreds of self-recommendations from internal and external ministers and workers, I deliberated for another month and decided on a new candidate for the chief assistant of the cabinet. Now, Xu Zhaohua, the supervisor of ceremonies, will read out the will."

"Today's initial decision, when Vientiane will be renewed... as the assistant of the country, you should dare to be the first in the world and seek the well-being of the people. Therefore, Ma Shiying is appointed as the new chief assistant of the cabinet, and all his original official positions will be removed. Shi, gifted to the grand master, and ordered him to preside over the government affairs of the cabinet from May 24 to May 29, hereby!"

When Xu Zhaohua read "Ma Shiying is the chief assistant of the cabinet", he was quite surprised in his heart, and thought: "It's not Gao Hongtu!"

The imperial officials who listened to the order were also stunned. No one thought that the new chief assistant would be Ma Shiying!
"how can that be!"

Hua Yuncheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, looked up in astonishment at His Majesty Zhu Youjian, who was sitting on the throne. From his majesty's indifferent expression, it could be seen that Xu Zhaohua did not misread the wrong person, and the new Chief Assistant of the Cabinet was Ma Shiying!
Gao Hongtu seemed to be hit hard with a heavy stick, he was in a daze, and he forgot to salute and obey the order.

"How could this be, why not Master Gao, why not Master Gao!"

Zhu Cihong chattered on and on. When what happened in reality did not follow the trajectory he imagined, he immediately panicked and even gave the third prince Zhu Cihuan a somewhat annoyed look.

It seems that Gao Hongtu's failure to be appointed as the chief assistant should be blamed on Yongwang Zhu Cihuan for not being right.

Yong Wang Zhu Cihuan didn't have the mind to pay attention to Zhu Cihuang, he was surprised and disappointed at the same time, helplessly looked at each other with Minister of the Ministry of Officials Hua Yuncheng.

Ruan Dayue secretly smiled inwardly, he had to admire his ally Ma Shiying, among these imperial officials, almost no one was his opponent, he thought: "Perhaps only His Majesty can beat him."

Ruan Dayue didn't express his opinion immediately, he was waiting to see Gao Hongtu's joke, according to the rules, Gao Hongtu should immediately lead the ministers to lead the order, but Gao Hongtu didn't seem to have recovered, he was still standing, as if not Willing to obey His Majesty's will.

"Gao Hongtu stands still for a while, His Majesty's dissatisfaction with him will increase!"

Ruan Dayue held back his accomplices, signaling them not to rush to steal Gao Hongtu's limelight.

"Why, are you unwilling to obey my will?" Zhu Youjian asked coldly.
