Chapter 12 The Cabinet's Counterattack

The imperial decree was drawn up one by one, and Hu Guang looked over them one by one. If he was not satisfied, he immediately asked for a rewrite.I was busy until noon before I finished writing a few imperial edicts.

Hu Guang's physical body has been working hard for days, and it was still all night last night. Although he is young, the accumulated fatigue is not fake.It was noon, and my stomach was growling.

As the saying goes, people are like iron and rice is steel. If you eat enough and drink enough, you can have a revolution if you are healthy...the capital of being an emperor.Hu Guang thought to himself, and immediately patted his ass and left.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!" The ministers headed by Chief Assistant Han Yu all bowed and saluted.In everyone's heart, there is a feeling of relief.

"Ding, achievement value +1, from Chief Assistant Han Yu!"

"Ding, the achievement value is +1, from the second assistant Li Biao!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from cabinet minister Qian Longxi!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the cabinet minister Cheng Jiming!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the cabinet minister Zhou Yanru!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from Shen Yongmao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War!"

Hu Guang was walking, when he heard the continuous pleasant "ding ding" sound, and saw the achievement value in the lower left corner of the chat group: 56, Long Yan could not help but feel joyful.

But he didn't expect that this was not over yet, and the system's notification tone would sound again immediately.

"Ding, achievement value +5, from eunuch Cao Huachun!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the eunuch Xiaoli!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the eunuch mustache!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the court lady Qiuyue!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the maid Chunxiang!"

"..."

Hu Guang quickly glanced at the lower left corner of the chat group, and found that the achievement value finally stopped at 76.I dare say that the eunuchs and maids serving on the platform were shocked by their performance this time.

Thinking of this, Hu Guang couldn't help but feel extremely regretful. If he had known this, the ostentation should have been bigger. Standing in front of him with a dozen or so eunuchs and court ladies, even if each person gave a little achievement value, there would be hundreds of them. What a mistake!

Hu Guang went to have lunch with a little regret while summing up his experiences and lessons.

But here, none of the civil servants paid any attention to the military general Man Gui, and under the leadership of the chief assistant Han Yu, he returned to Wenyuan Pavilion silently.No one was in the mood to eat, they were all thinking about the words and deeds of Emperor Chongzhen.The book office and other cabinet members saw that something was wrong, so they dared not speak out, trying to reduce their presence as much as possible.

After a long time, in the quiet cabinet, a long sigh suddenly sounded.Everyone looked at it, but found that the first assistant, Han Yu, seemed to be much older. After sighing, he reached for the brush.

When Qian Longxi saw it, he quickly stood up from his seat, strode over and asked with concern, "Who is this?"

Han Yu raised his head and glanced at him, his eyes didn't know what to convey, and he seemed depressed and said: "This man is old and lacks energy, so I will write a letter of resignation and plan to return home!"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the cabinet, regardless of their positions, looked over in shock.

Second assistant Li Biao's expression changed a few times, and he suddenly stood up and shouted at the book office, "You all go out!"

In this case, everyone knows what's inside.But even if there is a raging gossip, no one dares to keep it, and quickly responded.

As soon as these people left, Li Biao immediately walked in front of Han Yu, and said with a sincere face: "The chief minister's words are serious, the cabinet cannot do without you!"

Although he coveted the position of chief assistant, Emperor Chongzhen made a series of decisions that shocked the court just now. As a cabinet minister, he would definitely be under pressure from civil and military officials and the emperor's relatives.In particular, the chief assistant of the cabinet is the first to bear the brunt.Anyway, let Han Yu be the scapegoat first, and after blocking this wave, it will not be too late to take over.Therefore, he immediately asked to stay.

How could he not know this idea for the sophisticated Han Yu.The reason why he wants to retire and return to his hometown now is because he knows that he should be the chief assistant, so why bother to take the blame.Don't you, Li Biao, want this position, so I'll just give it to you.

Here is 37 years old. Zhou Yanru, who just entered the cabinet, is the youngest. Although he also hopes that all the cabinet ministers above him will go away, but this is an extraordinary period, and he has nothing in mind, so at this time I don't want these big guys to leave.

He heard the meaning of Han Yu's words, and he should be worried about the emperor's scolding of him as an old man, so he quickly followed up and persuaded: "Your Majesty also made an unintentional mistake, please don't mind the chief assistant, and put the state affairs first, and let's get through this together." Difficulty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Longxi's body swayed suddenly, and then he put his hand on his forehead as if he was dizzy, which suddenly attracted other people's attention.

"Old Qian Ge, what's the matter with you?" Zhou Yanru, who was beside him, hurriedly asked with concern.

Qian Longxi waited for a while before slowly answering: "The old man is not feeling well, and he has been holding it back. It's just that just now..."

When he said this, he paused, and said regretfully: "I'm old, it seems that I need to rest for a while."

As he spoke, he slowly turned to his seat and wanted to write something, obviously he was going to ask for leave.

Cheng Jiming watched from the side, feeling contemptuous in his heart.Among these cabinet members, he was the oldest, at 71, but he didn't say that he was too old to be useful, but two of them wanted to use this reason to ask for leave or return home.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the emperor's decision in the morning, especially the part with fame should also participate in the defense of the city, otherwise he would have to pay money and food, which would surely offend too many people.Han Yu and Qian Longxi were already worried about being implicated because of Yuan Chonghuan, how could they offend more people.

If they retreated like this, it would be difficult for the emperor, and the other person would also be sad.With that thought in his mind, he turned his gaze to Jisuke.

Sure enough, when Li Biao saw that Han Yu and Qian Longxi did not listen to persuasion and started to write, he couldn't help sighing and said: "The emperor is still too young, and he was impulsive at the moment, but it made the ministers very discouraged. Such things, Biao fights to be accepted. Punishment, you have to write a letter to ask for an explanation for the first assistant. Otherwise, you will be ashamed of the position of the second assistant."

When Cheng Jiming saw it, he sneered in his heart.He didn't make a sound, just waited and watched.If three cabinet ministers were vacated at once, the emperor would definitely be in trouble.

Forget it, the emperor didn't know what was going on, but he suddenly became so aggressive, as if he was acting arbitrarily.It is also good for them to do this to let the emperor understand some truths.

Besides, Cao Huachun silently followed Emperor Chongzhen and walked towards the harem.Having more time to think about it made him feel a little flustered.

The task assigned to him by Emperor Chongzhen was very heavy, and he made it clear that if the matter was not handled well, not to mention that the positions of eunuch Bingbi and admiral of Dongchang could not be guaranteed, even his life might be lost.But this fact is really difficult to handle. If you bury your head in it without saying a word, it is likely to make things worse, and it is a bit heavy to bear the pressure of civil servants, military generals, and royal relatives by yourself. What should I do?
