After Sun Chuanting left the Forbidden City, he directly took out an imperial edict, which was sent by Chongzhen, and asked him to lead his troops into the capital. However, as soon as Sun Chuanting showed this imperial edict, Zhao Yan sneered.

"During the formation of the cabinet, the capital will be punished with martial law, and any official army will be killed when entering the capital." Zhao Yan ordered coldly, "After the formation of the cabinet, the Shandong troops will withdraw from the capital."

After Zhao Yan's order, Sun Chuanting had no choice but to go outside the city.

The well-equipped Shandong Army did not open the city gate at all. Even if he took the imperial edict and called it to death at the city, it would be useless. Shaanxi general He Renlong led a group of officers and soldiers to the city to call the gate. As a result, the Shandong soldiers on the city directly fired a row of muskets.

Under such circumstances, Sun Chuanting did not dare to jump. The Shandong Army had obviously issued a warning. If the warning still ignored it, the outcome could be imagined.

The tiger beards of the Shandong Army were not something that Sun Chuanting could do. Although Sun Chuanting was born with a rampant surname, it did not mean that Sun Chuanting was brainless. Sun Chuanting still understood this very clearly.

This time, Zhao Yan was a complete victory.

The Liaoxi official army remained unmoved. Under the leadership of Lu Xiangsheng, Xuanda officers and soldiers were also wandering among both sides, protecting the Ming Emperor and supporting Zhao Yan to form a cabinet.

In addition to the Ji Liao official army and Xuanda official army, there were only 130,000 troops in Sun Chuanting's hands, but these 130,000 troops could not be transferred.

Because Li Zicheng and other bandits had not been eliminated in Shaanxi, they could only draw 30,000 soldiers and horses when they entered the guards. The reason why Sun Chuanting was like this was that he was afraid of bandits, and the other was that the quality of the various officials and troops in his hands was mixed, and more than 100,000 people went out to Shaanxi to serve the king. The logistics on the road was a big problem, so he only brought 30,000 most elite soldiers and horses.

Before leaving, Sun Chuanting predicted that if the Ji Liao officers and soldiers, Xuan Da officers and soldiers, and the 30,000 people in his hands, would definitely be no problem if they worked together to defeat Zhao Yan.

Because Zhao Yan had fought one after another before, not only in Liaodong, Korea fought with Jianlu, but also rumored to have sent troops to conquer Japan. In addition, he had advanced thousands of miles westward to suppress the bandits, so he must have exhausted his troops and insufficient troops.

But what Sun Chuanting never expected was that Zhao Yan used the banner of clearing the monarchy, and the various government troops in the court did not fight, and only the Beijing camp in the capital resisted.

The Ji Liao official army did not care about it. Although the Xuanda official army sent troops, it had reached an agreement with Zhao Yan. With his 30,000 troops, it would be impossible to repel Zhao Yan this time.

However, what made Sun Chuanting more at ease was that Zhao Yan, who came to Beijing, did not go in a mess, but proposed conditions for forming a cabinet that he could accept.

Chongzhen obviously couldn't accept it.

Previously, Sun Chuanting had a secret conversation with Chongzhen in the imperial study room. Chongzhen gritted his teeth at Zhao Yan and acted as if he was quick to kill him. However, Sun Chuanting had to admit that Zhao Yan had a gentlemanly style.

Let me ask, who can maintain enough restraint in such a great situation and not have the desire to spy on the Jiuwu Artifact? If it were someone else, it would have probably caused the disaster of the tripod.

However, Zhao Yan's move was extremely spicy. Although he did not spy on the magical artifacts, he directly deprived the administrative power of the imperial power. With such a waste, the imperial power had become useless.

Under various circumstances, although it was not good for Chongzhen, Chongzhen still had the opportunity to turn things around.

In this way, a clever balance is formed.

That is, although Chongzhen controlled the military power, he did not have administrative power. After Zhao Yan formed the cabinet, he would have most of the administrative power and also support it. However, the taxes of the court would be used to build the military forces of the court, not the military forces of Shandong. However, Zhao Yan also had many military privileges.

If Chongzhen wanted to regain his administrative power, he could only overwhelm Zhao Yan's military power. At the same time, if Zhao Yan wanted to go further, he would need to fight the imperial court again. At that time, what Zhao Yan had to face was the troops of Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng. As for the officers and soldiers of Ji Liao, they could not fully grasp it. It was possible to turn to either side. At the same time, if Zhao Yan brazenly tore up the treaty, he would also be in an extremely unfavorable position in public opinion.

In general, Chongzhen was unable to destroy his current state without winning, and Zhao Yan had no reason to use force to fight for power before Chongzhen tore up the treaty.

Such a result is not too good or too bad. Everyone understands that there will still be a duel between Zhao Yan and Chongzhen in the future, and this time it can only be said that the two sides will be truce.

However, no one has the final say when the showdown between the two sides will break out. The only one with the final say is Zhao Yan, because he seems passive in taxation, but in fact he has the initiative.

...Sun Chuanting's troops could not enter the city, so 30,000 Shaanxi border troops were stationed outside the capital and settled down for a while.

Zhao Yan's troops in the capital have reached 45,000 now, and he has absolute control over the capital. In addition, there is no shortage of firearms, even if the Heavenly King comes, he will be defeated.

The court-central cabinet formation was also very popular. However, Zhao Yan had nothing to do. The seats of the two parties he had in his hands had been determined, and no one jumped out and barked. Lu Xiangsheng's royalist seat was also determined. No one was fighting for it, and the rest was the 25% of the seats.

Judging from the seat, both sides seem to be fair.

Zhao Yan controls 50%, the royalists led by Lu Xiangsheng account for 25%, and other old bureaucrats also account for 25%. Under the ideal state of unity, both sides will be in a state of equal strength.

However, this ideal state is destined to be impossible.

First of all, there will definitely be a few people in Lu Xiangsheng's royalist party who support Zhao Yan, because Zhao Yan did not intend to take control of the cabinet and do whatever he wanted. The focus is on using the cabinet to carry out large-scale reforms to the Ming Dynasty, while he will carry out deeper reforms locally.

In addition to the royalist party, the remaining 25% of the seats can certainly be won over by Zhao Yan and bought a few, so the side that is dominated by the old bureaucrats is very fragile inside.

Zhao Yan's two parties are very strong internally and have absolute control over the cabinet members. Even if an insider appears, he can replace him at any time.

All parties are competing for, but Zhao Yan's final decision is that many seats were won. The Donglin Party, Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, Kun Party, Qin Party, and Qi Party were successively established in the court, and some small parties were also established.

Among them, the Donglin Party was the most powerful, while the Qi Party followed closely behind.

There are not many officials from Qi Party, but because most of them are Shandong officials, they are very close to Zhao Yan and have many advantages in forming a cabinet.

But Zhao Yan still has to give a standard on how to allocate this seat.

On September 28th, Zhao Yan summoned the leaders of various parties.

Soon, people from all parties arrived early. The Donglin Party was headed by Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi had just been released from prison, but he was full of energy. Since he arrived at the capital without stopping, he became the leader of the Donglin Party.

Qian Qianyi's literary talent is famous. After the party struggles entered the underground, Qian Qianyi has always maintained the appeal of the leader of the Donglin Party.

But Qian Qianyi is not without opponents, but he is still unable to compete with him.

Zhao Yan, the leader of the other parties, had no impression of him before traveling through time, and did not understand his character, but this was no longer important, he was just a procedure.

What surprised Zhao Yan was that Sun Chuanting actually joined Lu Xiangsheng's royal party. At the same time, the royal party has quickly absorbed a large number of officials loyal to Chongzhen recently, and its personnel have quickly expanded.

Although Lu Xiangsheng recruited party members quickly, most of them were upright people, and some officials from various parties were involved.

This made Zhao Yan feel a little inappropriate. Although Lu Xiangsheng may support him, his cabinet members may not be able to support his actions.

Before the conversation started, Zhao Yan had already made up his mind to let Qi Party occupy more seats in order to seek insurance.

"I've seen the general." As soon as Zhao Yan walked out, the leaders of various parties bowed to Zhao Yan one after another. Even some people who were dissatisfied with Zhao Yan, they looked harmless on the surface.

Being able to become the leader of various parties and backbone personnel is naturally not a fool, but even a fool can see that Zhao Yan can do whatever he wants now.

The officials who insulted Zhao Yan in the court before were good examples.

However, the handling of Yang Sichang and a group of "agreeable parties" has not been implemented yet. In fact, Zhao Yan is just scaring these guys.

Zhao Yan is not disgusted with Yang Sichang, which is certain.

In history, Yang Sichang did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and did not embezzle any more. It was just that some political strategies were somewhat incredible. Overall, Yang Sichang was a talent who dared to work hard, work hard and be compulsory.

It is best to leave it to Chongzhen. If you don’t have the conditions, you have to create a strong man who is in a tough position, so you don’t have to worry about Chongzhen not being able to make it. After experiencing this failure, Yang Sichang will definitely learn from his lessons. He will not make it in the past period of time, which just gives Zhao Yan time to strengthen his strength.

After Zhao Yan's strength is enough to swallow more than ten provinces of the Ming Dynasty, he can jump to the limit as he pleases.

Zhao Yan had a smile on his face, bowed to them, and then said, "Everyone is the pillars of the court. There are twenty-five seats in the building of the pavilion. As for how to decide, I have been thinking for a long time and came up with a way to summon you to come, so I will discuss it in detail."

"Please speak for yourself, General," Qian Qianyi smiled, and the other parties agreed, all wanting to occupy the largest share of the pie that Zhao Yan had divided.

"Okay." Zhao Yan nodded and said in a long and long manner: "When bandits are everywhere, officers and soldiers are unable to suppress them, and natural disasters are frequent, the people are living in poverty, and the court's finances are not enough. Since then, the cabinet is formed to change the dilemma and make the world clear. All other parties have gathered the strength of the whole party and submitted a policy discussion on the first day of the first day of the first day. Those who have the best policy discussions will have more seats, and those who have the worst ones will have less."

“…”

As soon as Zhao Yan said this, the audience was stunned.

Only Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting, the royalist party, nodded in agreement when they heard this. Sun Chuanting held his head up and took two steps forward, laughing loudly and said, "The general's words are reasonable, and the seats of each party are determined according to the policy of the advantages and disadvantages. This is so fair."
