If power loses control and supervision, it will be like a flood and a ferocious beast, which will cause extremely serious and bad effects.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has been in decline since the Wanli Dynasty, especially the continuous party disputes, which seriously damaged the political order of the Ming Dynasty.

When everyone is thinking about fighting for power, abusing power for personal gain, and fighting against dissidents, no one will put their minds on the right path. This led to the late Ming Dynasty, when problems appeared one after another, and thunder broke out one after another.

Once it's broken, it's very difficult to get it back.

The resignation of Han Xu, the chief minister of the cabinet, Shangshu caused an uproar among the government and the public. No one expected that in such a special period, Han Xu would actually resign.

This caused a lot of speculation.

Some politicians in the DPRK who were proficient in calculations knew that Han Xu's resignation must be the emperor's intention, which also made some people's minds come alive.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Shangshu, has resigned. If the emperor allows it, the temptation of the vacant position of chief minister will be too great.

"The Qing family thinks that at this moment in the court, how many people are thinking about the next court event?" Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, looked at Xu Guangqi standing with his hands hanging, and said with a smile: "

How many pairs of eyes are staring at the Forbidden City right now?"

"I don't know."

Xu Guangqi bowed his hands and said: "I sincerely request your majesty, out of consideration for the country, never approve the memorial submitted by Han Yuanfu at this time."

"Does the Qing family have no idea at all about the position of chief minister of the cabinet?" Emperor Chongzhen kept smiling and looked at Xu Guangqi and said.

"No."

Xu Guangqi paid his respects again: "The position of Chief Minister of the Cabinet is an important weapon of our Ming Dynasty. It is an important minister of His Majesty Fuzuo. Of course Han Yuanfu has said that on some things..."

Listening to what Xu Guangqi said, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Others were eager to get the position of chief minister of the cabinet, but Xu Guangqi was different. Not only did he say that he had no idea in this regard, but on the contrary he started to advise him.

Came here by myself.

As for why this is so.

Emperor Chongzhen also knew it.

Nothing else.

It is due to the influence of the current political situation.

"There is no need to persuade the Qing family any more."

Emperor Chongzhen calmed down, waved his hand and interrupted: "It is my intention that Han Xu should resign, and there are some things that we can have a good chat about now that we, the emperor and his ministers are the only ones here.

I want to make Ming Dynasty better.

I want to revive the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in the past, he acted very decisively on many matters, which also led to the constant emergence of some arguments in foreign dynasties, violating the ancestral system, blocking the way of speech, not listening to advice, etc.

I want to ask the Qing family, do you think I did anything wrong in the past?"

Xu Guangqi fell silent.

When the emperor said this, he clearly expressed his attitude. The choice of the chief minister of the cabinet must be changed. Han Xu repeatedly resisted with silence and treated him coldly. This was obviously not what the emperor wanted.

There are so many problems in Ming Dynasty, how can the emperor have the energy to deal with them?

"I feel that most of what your Majesty did in the past was right and a few were wrong."

Xu Guangqi pondered for a moment. Under the gaze of Emperor Chongzhen, he bowed and saluted and said: "Your Majesty's fault is that he should not trust the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Even though there are some lawbreakers and those who violate the law, I feel that the majority of them are

, is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and is loyal to His Majesty."

"So I need a chief minister in the cabinet to help me solve these problems."

Faced with Xu Guangqi's remonstrance, Emperor Chongzhen was not angry. Instead, he smiled and said: "I need to spend more energy and time to sort out the contradictions and bad policies accumulated over the years in the Ming Dynasty, and eradicate the cancer that has grown.

But if you want to do these things well, it is absolutely impossible without a stable court.

In addition to doing their job well, the chief minister of the cabinet must also take care of my worries and worry about the country, so as to maintain the public spirit he deserves.

I also know this is difficult.

But living in this kind of world, who doesn’t have difficulty?

It is difficult to be an official in the Ming Dynasty.

This is not only the direction of public opinion between the government and the public, but I also feel this way. After all, the atmosphere has become bad, and it is difficult to stick to one's heart and do more practical things.

But is it easy for me, the Ming Emperor, to do this?

Have you ever told the ministers about the problems, troubles, and contradictions I face? Is it really useful to talk about them?"

Xu Guangqi was silent again.

Based on what the emperor said, Han Xu's deposing was already an established fact. The emperor had great ambitions, and Xu Guangqi knew this.

At this stage, the Ming Dynasty has undergone great changes compared to the early days of the Emperor's imperial edict.

Xu Guangqi felt pleased with these changes.

At least the Ming Dynasty now has hope in Xu Guangqi's eyes, rather than saying that there is no hope at all.

"Qing family, can you withstand the infamy?" Looking at the silent Xu Guangqi, Emperor Chongzhen leaned forward, narrowed his eyes and said, "Can you stick to your public heart?"

"Chen Neng!"

Xu Guangqi said extremely firmly.

"Okay! This is my most important talent."

Emperor Chongzhen clapped his hands and said, "Han Xu resigned from the position of chief minister of the cabinet, and the position became vacant. I am not planning to nominate him this time. The current situation in the court is in such chaos. If this recommendation continues, I don't know what will happen."

How much trouble it caused.

I plan to issue a central decree to promote the Qing family to the position of chief minister of the cabinet, so that they can do more work for me in the cabinet, worry more about the country, and share my worries.

Cabinet ministers Zhou Daodeng, He Ruchong, Qian Xiangkun, and Wu Zongda are all dismissed! I will promote Huang Liji and Liu Hongxun to the cabinet to assist the administration. The vacant governor of Shanxi will be filled by the Minister of Military and Aircraft Fu Zonglong."

Xu Guangqi: "..."

Xu Guangqi was shocked by what the emperor said. He promoted the position of chief minister of the cabinet and the position of cabinet minister according to the central decree, and also deposed Zhou Daodeng. How do you favor the four cabinet ministers, Qian Xiangkun, and Wu Zongda? Once this spreads out, what will happen to the four cabinet ministers?

It will inevitably cause an uproar among the government and the public.

If this matter is really decided, the new cabinet will be led by Chief Assistant Xu Guangqi, Second Assistant Wen Tiren, Group Assistant Bi Ziyan, Zhou Yanru, Huang Liji, Liu Hongxun, Wang Qia, instead of the previous nine cabinet ministers.

Now that we have become number seven, this adjustment is huge, and this impact is huge.

Letting Xu Guangqi replace Han Xu as the new chief minister of the cabinet was finally decided by Emperor Chongzhen after careful consideration.

Like Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Chen Qiyu, Sun Chuanting, and Yuan Keli, Emperor Chongzhen had never thought about promoting some of them to the cabinet. But after they left their posts, the northern provinces that had initially opened up the situation should

Who will take the place?

Even if someone can replace them, can it ensure that the changed situation is maintained and evolves towards Emperor Chongzhen's expectations?

The answer is obviously, impossible!

No one can replace what Sun Chengzong did.

No one can replace what Lu Xiangsheng did.

No one can replace what Sun Chuanting did.

No one can replace what Yuan Keli did.

No one can replace what Chen Qiyu has done...

How could the situation that Emperor Chongzhen worked so hard to open up suffer any further damage? Therefore, in the current cabinet, none of the above-mentioned people can be promoted from local places.

"In the future cabinet, whether it is the first assistant, second assistant or group assistant, it is clear that the term will be five years."

Emperor Chongzhen lifted up his robe sleeves, looked at Xu Guangqi and said: "Unless he commits a major mistake and causes irreversible losses to the country, he will no longer accept Shangshu's resignation and will no longer dismiss cabinet ministers easily.

Qing family, in this special period, if you choose to stick to your public conscience and want to share my worries and care for the country, then you must be prepared to be criticized.

I will not force this matter on the Qing family. If the Qing family feels that the pressure is too great..."

"Your Majesty...Xu Guangqi, I accept the order to express my gratitude!"
