The political structure of the Chongzhen Dynasty was very chaotic, and this trend was presented in both the court and the local government, and the root cause of this status quo was traced back to the Wanli Dynasty.

A dispute over the foundation of the country has intensified the trend of party struggles.

Donglin Party, Qi Party, Chu Party, Zhejiang Party, Xuan Party, Kun Party...

Except for the Donglin Party, the following factions all have strong regional characteristics.

Including the eunuch party gathered by the Tianqi Dynasty, the Taichang Dynasty was the short-lived Taichang Dynasty. The Donglin Party, which was almost expelled from the court by the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party and other factions. The Donglin Party, which was relied on and trusted by Emperor Taichang, was once again in the Donglin.

The party gradually counterattacked and suppressed the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties in the North Korea. The remaining marginal officials did not want to give up their own interests and eventually joined the command of Wei Zhongxian, and the eunuch party was born long ago.

Wei Qiansui, who was mentioned by the world, wanted to live in peace with the Donglin Party many times in the early days of the Tianqi Dynasty, but the Donglin Party was unwilling to do so. This finally took off step by step with the support of Emperor Tianqi.

of.

Party struggles are for the sake of interests after all.

"Gemaster Zhou, what deep meaning do you think about His Majesty's mobilization like this? "

He Rutong looked worried and looked at Zhou Daodeng and said, "After the court spread, the storm caused was quite a bit. Whether it was the Military Affairs Office's addition of ministers or the local government's three governors, each of them

It's a small thing."

"Old Ge, I don't know much about it."

Zhou Daodeng sighed lightly and said, "These things are not something we can get too involved in. After all, there are too many aspects involved.

Speaking of which, among the ministers who added the Military Affairs Office, Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, and Yang Sichang, they just picked up one of them. Which one has a simple origin?

Not to mention Qu Shisi, Chen Xinjia and the others.

The water hidden behind this is too deep. If you are not careful, not only will the black hat on your head be unsecured, but you may also be infamous."

"Oh~"

He Ruchong sighed softly: "It is precisely because of this that we cannot ignore the saint's will. Master Zhou Ge doesn't know that Zhou Yanru was invited by Wen Cifu.

Now in his office room.

Thinking about how difficult it is to enter the cabinet before, it is recommended by the court officials and the emperor's circle. Zhou Yanru has always been looking forward to entering the cabinet.

If it weren't for that..."

"Geor He is careful!"

Zhou Daodeng's face changed slightly: "How can we discuss the matter of adding ministers in the cabinet? If someone is asked to listen and pass it to the imperial court, how many heads do you have?

There are still some things to deal with on my side, so I won’t talk about them.”

Seeing this, He Ruchong wanted to say something, but when he spoke, he didn't know how to say it. After all, the current situation is really confusing.

Thinking of the words he heard, especially when Shi Kefa came to the cabinet many times to meet Han Du, He Rutong knew that the Donglin Party was half of the opposition and praise.

Although the emperor is no longer as suspicious as before and is no longer indecisive, He Rutong feels that it is becoming increasingly difficult to assist the emperor in governing the country.

It seems that the corresponding authority has increased a lot on the cabinet side, especially their group assistants, who are no longer just decorations, and they also have real power in their hands.

But correspondingly, the responsibility has become heavier.

Power and responsibility, under the gradual promotion of the emperor, became complementary.

If you want to gain real power, you must be responsible.

Things are done, there are praises and rewards.

If things are done, there will be reprimands and punishments.

It is impossible to take advantage of the troubled waters of the past.

When He Rutong was thinking about these things, Wen Tiren's office seemed much more relaxed.

"Yu Shenggong, do you know that Han Du is under a lot of pressure?" Wen Tiren held the teacup with a smile on his face and looked at Zhou Yanru and said.

"Your Majesty has made adjustments to the cabinet, military affairs office, and local areas, and everything in the court has said. Although it has been submitted to the imperial court, there are also many memorials.

But in fact, many people are waiting and watching when dealing with this matter. Although they are very surprised and suspicious, they don’t know how to exert their strength.”

“It’s normal.”

Zhou Yanru smiled slightly and said, "Since my assistant entered the Military Affairs Office, I can feel the emperor's importance to the Ming Dynasty's military and political affairs, especially the matter of suppressing rebellion.

But after all, the emperor's energy is limited, and it is impossible to do everything at the same time, so a lot of power is delegated to the cabinet.

But this Han Yu has sang against His Majesty in many things. Although His Majesty didn't say anything on the surface, but..."

As he said that, Zhou Yanru deliberately paused.

Some words are boring if you say them.

"That's why Yushenggong entered the pavilion."

How could Wen Tiren not know that, and said with a smile: "With Jade Rope Gong entering the pavilion, the pressure from me will be much easier in the future.

Speaking of which, Han Yu is really a mystery to the authorities. He knows that His Majesty hates forming cliques and making personal gain the most, but the things he does are all about protecting the so-called benefits of Donglin.

Now that Yu Shenggong has entered the pavilion, Li Banghua has left the Military Affairs Office, and Fu Zonglong, Yang Wenyue, Ding Qirui, and Yang Sichang have entered Beijing to take office. In the future, this court will become even more exciting."

】

“It will be wonderful.”

Zhou Yanru smiled and said without a smile: "But with Han Yu, the nature of some things will not change in the end, just the adjustments made by His Majesty.

In the future, I will rely more on the Military Affairs Office.

Especially when the adjustment of the garrison in the Gyeonggi area is correct, and no one dares to criticize this matter will end well."

Wen Tiren's eyes rolled, and he secretly scolded Zhou Yanru as an old fox. His obvious attitude was to look at the position of chief minister under the leadership of the Korean emperor.

The Grand Secretary of Dongge did not meet Zhou Yanru's appetite after all.

In order to win over yourself, explain the current focus of the Military Affairs Office, and also express the attitude of the emperor.

"Haha~ Yu Shenggong is right."

Wen Tiren smiled and said, "Since it is Your Majesty's decision, the cabinet must respect it. I can't control what other people's attitudes are.

But I will definitely not cause trouble for Your Majesty.

But Yu Shenggong, you first came to the cabinet and some things are not as simple as you thought. In the opinion of Benfu, this Han Du seems to be quite valued by me."

Who doesn’t value the position of chief minister of the cabinet? Who doesn’t jealous?

Not to mention him, Zhou Yanru, even Wen Tiren has been watching him for a long time. Being able to become the chief minister of the cabinet means that he is below one person and above ten thousand people.

You, Zhou Yanru, can’t say something nice to you before and have some support for yourself. You can give in to the position of chief minister of the cabinet? This is not in line with his Wen Tiren’s character!
