Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 363
After hearing Li Dai's question, Ye Xun smiled.

"Master Li compares me to Feng Bao, but is he cursing me to die?"

One sentence made Li Daiwen's old face blush, and he hurriedly explained: "My father-in-law misunderstood, this old man has no such intentions."

Ye Xun interrupted the words before he finished speaking.

"Master Li doesn't need to explain. I know who you are. If you really have that kind of thought, you won't be sitting in front of me today. I also know the purpose of your coming to me. In fact, even if you don't come, I will go find you"

"After the elimination of Wei Zhongxian's party, the situation in the court will inevitably face reorganization, so I hope you will come forward to form a cabinet. Of course, I also have a few people who need to be arranged to enter the court."

Li Daiwen was taken aback. He was the only official left in the court. It was normal for Ye Xun'an to insert a few people, but it was a bit too unexpected to ask him to form a cabinet.

According to court practice, a cabinet member must be a bachelor before he can enter the cabinet. Now, even though Li Daiwen is the secretary of the household department, he is not yet a bachelor. No matter how he forms a cabinet, others will not be convinced of him.

Ye Xun seemed to know what Li Daiwen was wondering about, and continued: "The cabinet system needs to be changed. There is no need for any great scholars. The six ministers are integrated into the cabinet. In addition, the Dali Temple Minister and the inspector censor will be cancelled. Major issues are decided by a vote of the eight-member cabinet"

Nothing is absolute. If the eight-member cabinet does well, it can naturally continue. If it does not do well, Ye Xun can also disband it. As long as the military power is in hand, no one can turn the world around.

Although Ye Xun's tone was flat, in Li Daiwen's ears, there was no doubt that there was a clap of thunder.

A cabinet with no bachelors, a cabinet of eight, and the right to grant awards to the inspector of ceremonies will be abolished.
Any one of these articles will be a blockbuster, but it is foreseeable that once the news comes out, it will definitely be welcomed by all the civil officials, because the ultimate thought of the civil officials is to offer the emperor with a board, Then they have the final say on the affairs of the court, and other creatures like eunuchs have to stand aside.

Now that Ye Xun actually wants to make this matter a reality, doesn't he know what this means?

Suppressing his excitement, he said, "Then what's your plan, father-in-law? Do you want to go back to Liaodong?"

Ye Xun shook his head, and said, "East Liaodong is the land of Ming Dynasty, and no one can divide it. I will return to Beijing, cancel the East Factory, and reopen the West Factory."

"Cheng Yu will be the censor of Zuodu of the Procuratorate, Yuan Yingtai will be the Secretary of the Ministry of War, Zhang Quan will succeed you, and you will be the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials. I will not participate in other candidates."

The ancients respected the left, Cheng Yu served as the censor of Zuodu, which is equivalent to the current Supreme Prosecutor, and Zhang Quan succeeded Li Daiwen, and he held the financial power in his hands. Needless to say, the Ministry of War, as for the officials in charge Li Daiwen can only be appointed and promoted to the official department. After all, he can be regarded as Ye Xun's person.

Li Daiwen naturally understands the relationship, and there is nothing wrong with Ye Xun's practice of inserting direct descendants, but he still frowned and said, "It's okay for Master Yuan to lead the military department, and Master Zhang can barely do it, but Cheng Yu is a white man. If you rashly occupy a high position, I am afraid that something is wrong!"

Li Daiwen's worries are not superfluous. Although the whole Liaodong knows that Cheng Yu is Ye Xun's right-hand man, he has never had a formal official position. Now he is like a rocket. Can those officials who have endured all their lives be able to balance their hearts?
Ye Xun didn't care about that, Cheng Yu's ability was obvious to all, and he followed him on the saddle, and he was always loyal. If he didn't return anything in return, wouldn't it be chilling?
"Cheng Yu is my brother. He is absolutely indispensable for making Liaodong what it is today. He is now the prefect of Jinzhou. There is nothing wrong with entering the Inspectorate as a prefect. If anyone refuses to accept it, let him come to me."

What he said was a little bit of public and private matters, but the most important thing was Ye Xun's unquestionable arrogance when he spoke. Judging by his current appearance, what kind of eunuch is he? He is clearly the aura of an emperor. .

Li Daiwen was also shocked by Ye Xun's arrogance, nodded and said: "After returning to Beijing, I will start making arrangements."

"Do you know Gu Feng?"

Li Daiwen was taken aback, then shook his head subconsciously. He was a civil servant, and although he was concerned about Zhu Changxun's movements, he didn't know much about Zhu Changxun's subordinates. He thought Ye Xun was asking about that court official.

All kinds of information about Zhu Changxun's subordinates have been investigated long ago. This Gu Feng is known as a famous person in the south of the Yangtze River. It was sold by this guy, and he had to count the money for him.

According to the comprehensive information obtained, the Gu Feng hiding beside Zhu Changxun is definitely not a simple person, otherwise he would not have committed such a tragedy as the robbery of Zhending.

Ye Xun's subordinates are not gods, and Xu Hongru has been moving secretly, so it has not been found out that this Gufeng is Xu Hongru.

Li Daiwen couldn't get involved in this question, so he was asked to go back to Beijing first, and the appointment of officials had to be arranged in advance.

After Li Daiwen left, Ye Xun ordered someone to find a map.

The sand table in Liaodong has already been completed, but now Ye Xun has more than Liaodong to take care of.

It is conceivable that if Zhu Changxun's army cannot be completely wiped out in the capital, the remaining defeated soldiers may turn into rebellious soldiers, and then poison the rest of the country.

Ye Xun only has 2 horses around him. Although there are many troops in Liaodong, Huang Taiji is still alive, so it cannot be mobilized in a large scale.

There are quite a few troops in the capital, but they are all military households who lack combat effectiveness, and they are not handy at all.

Ye Xun's eyes swept across the map, and finally landed on the Yellow River. It is winter now, and the Yellow River can't play the role of blocking the enemy's natural danger. Soldiers can plunder while fleeing for their lives, which not only harms the place, but also strengthens themselves.

Therefore, they must not be allowed to escape across the Yellow River. It seems that they have to talk to Zhang Weixian!
On the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, [-] Liaodong troops finally arrived in the capital, but Zhu Changxun's troops were still stationed in Zhending, and it seemed that they planned to celebrate the New Year in Zhending.

Zhang Weixian had already prepared the barracks, and the people in the capital also showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of the Liaodong Army.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, since the Liaodong Army entered the station, every day there were rich gentry and merchants in the city who sent all kinds of daily necessities to the Liaodong Army camp. Leaving a name post, as if afraid that Ye Xun would not know who gave it to him.

Ye Xun knew that these wealthy gentry and merchants had the most sensitive sense of smell. Many people were implicated in such a big event in the capital. At this time, the Liaodong Army suddenly appeared in the capital. Obviously, these people were looking for new backers.

When the army is stationed, there are naturally many things to be busy with, and Ye Xun, as a courtier, the first thing to do is to greet the emperor
