Bang!

Zhu Youxiao took the memorial in his hand and directly slapped the table. His breath couldn't help but heavier and he sneered:

"What a Qian Qianyi, he can play with someone who borrows chickens to lay eggs and goes with the flow. Now it seems that none of the Donglin Party left behind is useful. Apart from flattery, it is a first-class level to start party struggles!

I thought it was Li Mingrui and others who were going to attack Cao Sicheng. Now it was Qian Qianyi's proud disciple Jiang Dejing who submitted the impeachment memorandum first, which really made me unbelievable. But in this way, Cao Sicheng was afraid that his butt would be sitting on Li Mingrui's side."

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh and came to Ge You lie down with some fatigue.

"Li Mingrui and others will also develop their power and extend their hands to the Censorate. I don't know if they have forgotten my original intention of promoting them. They have expanded their power one by one. It is unknown whether they can do some practical things for the Ming Dynasty. However, it seems that it is time for this cabinet to inject some fresh blood."

Zhu Youxiao's words made the seal of the Sili Supervisor, who was accompanying him, feel nervous and said to himself:

"Is it possible that your Majesty has to say this to change the cabinet ministers? This means that the civil servants will enter a period of inspection next, and some officials who are qualified to compete for the cabinet ministers will undoubtedly enter the most critical stage at this moment.

However, Wang Chengen knew that he was an internal minister and was not convenient to participate in the affairs of the foreign court, so he thought about it at most and asked: "Your Majesty, how should Jiang Dejing's memorial be approved?"

"Didn't Sun Chengzong submit a memorial the day before yesterday saying that the Hamiwei and Chijin Mongolia areas have just recovered due to the Western Expedition, and now the officials are continuing to change land and return to the land?

I think Sun Chengzong is now in charge of Shaanxi and several border towns and obviously has no time to take care of the territories west of Jiayuguan, not to mention that the situation of these territories is more complicated.

In my opinion, we should simply establish the Gansu Chengxuan Zhengzheng Department to manage the vast land west of Jiayuguan to Hamigu, especially the Hetao area! Let the cabinet find an excuse to send Cao Sicheng to be the governor of Gansu and take the title of the left assistant censor. The dignified left censor could not remain neutral, and I don’t need to keep him in the center anymore!”

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said again: "For Jiang Dejing, he was young and did not want to do major issues for the country, and was willing to be a lackey in others and be the pioneer of party struggles. What is the difference between this person and Yang Lian and others! This is also the person I hate the most, but killing him is meaningless, and it even made him successful.

Since he dared to confront the decent Zuodu Censor, he would set up Hami Guard as his residence and let him go to Hami Guard to be a prefect and the westernmost prefect of our Ming Dynasty. If he could not successfully transform the Hami Mansion into territory within three years, he would not have to return to the Central Plains."

Wang Chengen had to admire His Majesty Zhu Youxiao's response in a very clever way, and asked an old minister like Cao Sicheng to take charge of Gansu. Although it was demoted, it did not suffer much loss, and it was not exactly as Qian Qianyi's wish for the whole party.

What's more, Jiang Dejing was the governor of Hami, who was Cao Sicheng's subordinate. This was undoubtedly the best punishment for Jiang Dejing, and it also warned other censors that if they dared to be used as a gun by others, the fate would be to go to remote places to serve the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Qianyi felt a little disappointed when he learned that Cao Sicheng had been demoted to the newly established Gansu Cheng-announced as the governor of the Political Envoy. He did not expect that His Majesty did not take any ruthless actions today.

Even the reason for the demotion was very gentle, and the method of explicit praise and suppression was adopted, that is, the reason was that Cao Sicheng was mature and polite, honest and self-disciplined. Because Sun Chengzong suggested that the newly surrendered Hami and Shazhou and other places should be calm and capable, and not be disturbed, Cao Sicheng was appointed as the governor of Gansu.

"Can you say that Your Majesty has changed his usual iron-blooded style and becomes gentler and starts to play with hiding needles in the cotton?" Qian Qianyi did not realize that Your Majesty Zhu Youxiao has expressed dissatisfaction with his attempt to conspire with the ministers of the Ministry. In his opinion, Your Majesty Zhu Youxiao may just not want to make a big fuss and want to balance him with Li Mingrui.

Therefore, Qian Qianyi did not feel a little scared because of Cao Sicheng's demotion. Instead, he felt that His Majesty just realized that there might be party disputes here and did not want to be led by himself. Although his proud disciple Jiang Dejing was demoted to Hami Guard as the prefect because His Majesty wanted to hit him, Qian Qianyi was in a good mood. After all, he sacrificed one to the minister and defeated the Zuodu Censor. This political deal was not a loss in his opinion.

Li Mingrui was not disappointed by Cao Sicheng's demotion. Based on his understanding of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, he could guess that Cao Sicheng obviously escaped a disaster, and it also happened to show that His Majesty did not want to make things bigger, especially before the complete elimination of Jiannu, what His Majesty most hoped for is that there was any major turmoil within the court. Qian Qianyi used Zhu Youjian to punish himself, which was undoubtedly a taboo for His Majesty.

In Li Mingrui's opinion, Qian Qianyi was obviously unhappy. Although he got his wish and let Cao Sicheng leave the Censorate as he wished, it also indicates that this Master Qian is not far from resigning.

Therefore, Li Mingrui not only did not feel depressed because Cao Sicheng was demoted, but instead felt a little joy in his heart.

Of course, on the surface, he still looked very unhappy, and even went to the Ten Mile Changting to see Cao Sicheng off, promising to take care of Cao Sicheng's family who stayed in the capital.

Since Your Majesty Zhu Youxiao has demoted Cao Sicheng, it means he already knows that Cao Sicheng is not an isolated minister. Otherwise, Your Majesty would have protected Cao Sicheng like he was in the past, and he would have directly eliminated the censor's opposition.

Therefore, Li Mingrui did not deliberately conceal his relationship with Cao Sicheng. He was more high-profile, not only for Qian Qianyi, but also for his Majesty Zhu Youxiao. He asked His Majesty Zhu Youxiao to know that although he had made friends with other ministers, it was not for himself, but for his political philosophy. So when he bid farewell to Cao Sicheng, he deliberately told Cao Sicheng loudly that since he became a governor of a province, he should impose commercial taxes, develop trade, and reproduce the glory of the Silk Road.

Li Mingrui is well aware that although His Majesty opposes the formation of a clique, he does not opposes the officials walking together because of the same political philosophy, especially with His Majesty's political philosophy today.

Li Mingrui said loudly so that the people from the East Factory could hear it, so that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao knew about it now.

Zhu Youxiao did know the conversation between Li Mingrui and Cao Sicheng in the afternoon of the same day, and couldn't help but smile: "Our Master Li is also good at acting, and he said this with great enthusiasm."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask Liu Ruyu, the admiral of the East Factory: "What are Qian Qianyi doing today?"

"When you go back to your Majesty, Mr. Qian Ge has been staying in the mansion today, but his son met a son named Guang Shiheng in Baoyun Tower today. This person is Jinke Yayuan in Nanzhili, and he also has a small three yuan. He is a popular candidate for the first place next year. His uncle Chen Yuting is the right censor of Nanjing, and seems to want to act in charge of the Censorate at Qian Qianyi."

Liu Ruyu said that, without waiting for Zhu Youxiao to continue asking, he took the initiative to introduce Chen Yuting: "This Chen Yuting was a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli. He has always been named as a straightforward person. He was once so angry that Wei Zhongxian demoted him to Nanjing as the chief censor, but this person seemed to be content to retire in Nanjing."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but frown and said, "What a great old man Qiange. I just demoted the Zuodu Censor Cao Sicheng, and he couldn't wait to arrange a new Zuodu Censor for me. This is too hasty."

Liu Ruyu could clearly feel that His Majesty was dissatisfied with Qian Qianyi's behavior, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Mr. Qian was probably going to take the same path as Wei Guangwei.

Everyone can see that what Your Majesty wants is an obedient prime minister, rather than a prime minister who treats the emperor as a monkey in public.

As expected, after this, Qian Qianyi did recommend Chen Yuting to Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao did not agree to Qian Qianyi. On the contrary, news came that Chen Yuting died suddenly at home soon.

After learning about this, Li Mingrui felt much more happy and said to his son-in-law Gong Yonggu: "In addition to being shameless and invincible, Qian Muzhai was obviously in his head. He thought he was extremely smart, but he didn't know that he had been played with by His Majesty and applauded. Now he couldn't wait to put his own people in charge of the Censorate, but he didn't know that this would make His Majesty even more disgusted. In the past, our plan was just to let Qian Qianyi dismiss his post and return to his hometown to retire. Now it seems that the end of being beheaded does not seem to be a difficult task."

Although Gong Yonggu is the prince-in-law and a master and a relative, he has always been a person who values ​​reputation, so he is most dissatisfied with people like Qian Qianyi. Now seeing Li Mingrui saying that he wants Qian Qianyi to be beheaded and shown to the public, Gong Yonggu couldn't help but become curious and asked, "I wonder what trick did Mr. Li have to make such shameless people punish?"

"The son born to the Empress is already full month old. As the saying goes, the country cannot have a monarch for a day, and it cannot be a crown prince for a day. When the King of Zhao was born to only Concubine Hui, there was no dispute among the court officials about who appointed the crown prince. But now that the Empress has a legitimate son, do you think these civil servants, especially those Qingliu officials who pay attention to ethics and order, will not interfere in the affairs of the emperor and force His Majesty to appoint the crown prince as soon as possible?"

After Li Mingrui said this, Gong Yonggu couldn't help but nodded suddenly: "In other words, just like the struggle for the establishment of the legitimate and the chief during the period of the late emperor, today's civil servants will interfere in the family affairs of Your Majesty because of this?"

"The prince-consort believes that with His Majesty's temperament, these officials will be unable to make trouble. Just watch. As long as Qian Qianyi dares to propose the establishment of the crown prince, he will be not far from death. At that time, we only need to add fuel to the fire."

As Li Mingrui said that, he stood up and said goodbye to Gong Yonggu, but happened to come to a place not far from the western garden of the imperial city. Li Mingrui couldn't help but remember that Zhu Youjian, the king of Xin, who was escorted to the capital by him.

As an old Hanlin who had no one to rely on in the court, Li Mingrui knew very well that his rise was not based on how hard he could be in the officialdom, but that he had a ruthless and decisive personality like His Majesty today.

Like Lu Xiangsheng, he was now a master who was pulled from the bottom of the class, and he did not rely on that cabinet minister or that minister of the department.

Therefore, in Li Mingrui's consciousness, the interests of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao are related to his interests, so he must consider all factors that are likely to harm His Majesty's interests for His Majesty.

Li Mingrui was always worried about King Xin Zhu Youjian, but he didn't know what to do. He had no choice but to look at the location of Xiyuan for a few seconds.

But what Li Mingrui did not expect was that Qian Qianyi, who was still the chief minister of the cabinet, actually appeared here at this moment.

Li Mingrui couldn't help but go up and greeted Qian Qianyi stiffly: "I've seen Master Gong."

Qian Qianyi might have intended to get angry with Li Mingrui, so he straightened his chest straight and received this gift from Li Mingrui. Li Mingrui's face turned red for a moment, but he didn't say anything.

Qian Qianyi couldn't help but feel very surprised and asked loudly: "Has Mr. Li just seen King Xin come back?"

Li Mingrui knew that Qian Qianyi was deliberately making a heart-killing statement, so he couldn't help but laugh and asked loudly: "Old Qian Ge was joking. King Xin is still a guilty person. How dare the lower officials approach? It just happened to pass through this area. Why did Mr Qian Ge want to meet King Xin? I heard that Mr Qian Ge had taught His Highness King Xin back then. It's understandable that he came to see his students now, so the lower officials won't disturb him."

After hearing what Li Mingrui said, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but be angry. He was about to curse a few times but was stunned to see Zhu Youxiaozheng shaking the fan and walking over like an ordinary wealthy man.

The two hurriedly stopped fighting and bent down to salute Zhu Youxiao, whispering: "I've seen Your Majesty!" But in order to prove that they were more pious than each other, they actually competed for whom to bend, but who knew that as they bent like this, they fell to the ground at the same time, which made Zhu Youxiao laugh on the spot.

Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that the two of them were fighting, but he did not expose it, but asked on purpose: "Why did the two beloved ministers have the time to make an appointment to meet here together today? Is it true that they are going to visit the King of Letter?"

Zhu Youxiao's words made Qian Qianyi and Li Mingrui feel extremely shocked and frightened. They don't want his Majesty Zhu Youxiao to think that he is the one who supports King Xin Zhu Youjian.

But except for stuttering, the two of them didn't know what to say to explain.

Seeing that both of them were defeated, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help feeling more happy and said to himself: "I was so scared by my jokes. It seems that I can't be considered a trustworthy prime minister."

Of course, perhaps Qian Qianyi and Li Mingrui did not know what His Majesty Zhu Youxiao felt at this time. They just wanted to take this opportunity to show off in front of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, at least it would give His Majesty a better impression of him and believe that he is a capable person.

Zhu Youxiao was also happy to take this opportunity to chat with them, but what surprised Zhu Youxiao was that Qian Qianyi finally suddenly raised the matter about the establishment of the prince.
