No one thought that the emperor would do things so quickly this time, and when the Houjin delegation arrived in the capital, the emperor made a decision to adjust the cabinet ministers.

The minister of culture and martial arts in the court, the impression of the emperor is still good, especially after the sixth year of Chongzhen, the emperor paid attention to the following advice, the change of the Chinese military officials in the imperial court is not large, especially the cabinet, which is relatively stable, which is also convenient for the continuity of the policy, not so that after a certain person comes up, the adjustment of the cabinet first assistant, the second assistant and the cabinet university scholars, there is also a clear reason, the previous cabinet first assistant Zhou Yanru and the second assistant Wen Tiren The kind of struggle has not appeared for many years, Sun Chengzong, the deceased head of the cabinet, stabilized the situation in the court, and after his body could not bear it, he did not continue to serve as the head of the cabinet, and the next Yang Sichang was also known for his stability.

However, the changes in Chongzhen's fifteen years are a little unusual, first of all, Zhu Xianxuan, the second assistant of the cabinet, was removed from his post because of physical reasons, Zhou Yanru was appointed as the second assistant of the cabinet, and then Fu Guan and Xue Guoguan were adjusted, the reason may be that they are old, Chen Xinjia and Qian Qianyi have entered the cabinet, such a change is equivalent to saying that the cabinet has been adjusted again.

But the bigger shock is still to come, the emperor suddenly made a decision to adjust the candidate for the first assistant of the cabinet, Yang Sichang also because of his health and age, no longer served as the first assistant of the cabinet, and was crowned as the crown prince and prince, Zhou Yanru, the second assistant of the cabinet, Chen Xinjia as the second assistant of the cabinet, Su Tiancheng because of his position as the governor of Jiliao, can not do things in the court, nor does he serve as a cabinet scholar. Liu Yuliang, the only one who survived, took the initiative to submit his resignation and implored Zhishi to go back to his hometown to rest. The emperor approved it, and he also crowned the crown prince and prince.

The personnel who entered the cabinet also attracted everyone's attention, and Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Liu Zunxian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, entered the cabinet at the same time.

In this way, the composition of the cabinet is completely different from before.

The composition of this cabinet is very interesting. It is also a cabinet that many civil and military ministers of the imperial court cannot understand.

The first assistant Zhou Yanru has a very good ability, he was once the youngest cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and the second assistant of the cabinet Chen Xinjia is also recognized, as for the fiasco in Liaodong, people with a little brains know that it is to carry the black pot for the emperor.

The first and second assistants of the cabinet are not people in the same trench, and it is impossible to be very united.

As for the rest of the cabinet ministers. Qian Qianyi is the current Confucian, the leader of Donglin Academy, his prestige is needless to say, and he will not lean towards any faction, the strength of Donglin Academy is already large enough, Qian Qianyi does not need support from other aspects.

The most interesting thing is Liu Zunxian, Liu Zunxian is a person appreciated by Wen Tiren, the former head of the cabinet, and the contradiction between Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru. Everyone knows that Emperor Lu Dao asked Liu Zunxian to enter the cabinet. What exactly does that mean.

There is also Fan Jingwen, who has very hard bones and is known as Fuji Shangshu, such a person enters the cabinet, showing that the emperor still wants to hear some suggestions.

However, the composition of such a cabinet lies in the aspect of acting government affairs. No one is confident in what will happen to you.

Some people also think that the emperor is adjusting the cabinet like this, I am afraid that he still wants to be able to monopolize power, of course. Such thoughts cannot be spoken, otherwise you are asking for trouble.

In short, in the imperial court, this cabinet is not particularly optimistic.

After the cabinet change, the next step is to involve the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and many other changes, and the changes in these positions have a lot to do with the cabinet.

The court began to be lively, and many people began to focus on certain positions.

Yang Sichang's mood is bleak, the emperor made a decision so quickly, which caught him off guard, it can be said that he lost face, anyway, he is the first assistant of the cabinet, even if the emperor plans to adjust, he must say hello to him and let him take the initiative to write out his resignation, in fact, Yang Sichang also has this plan, but the emperor's sudden adjustment this time did not give him any chance at all, such an approach is infuriating.

Yang Sichang abandoned all illusions, for the emperor and the court, he has no confidence anymore, can it be said that all this is retribution, his father Yang He is loyal, and the final ending is bleak, and he is also doing his best, but it is also such an ending, I can only say that my father is better, and in the future history, he will always leave his own name, and he once served as the first assistant of the cabinet of the imperial court.

Yang Sichang is even more annoyed that his ambition has not been able to express, as the first assistant of the cabinet for several years, he has almost no chance to govern independently, many ideas have been vetoed by the emperor, for a while, the cabinet has even become the emperor's real secretary team, the emperor thought of something, what ideas, let the cabinet to discuss, improve and supplement, the idea is still the emperor himself, during that time, the court did not have too many big things to handle, relatively calm, It turned out to be smooth.

But the current situation is completely different.

Yang Sichang had a premonition that the court and the emperor would lose to Su Tiancheng sooner or later, in this case, he still wanted to be able to make his own contribution and try his best to prevent such things from happening, but the harsh reality shattered his dreams, and the taste of being rejected was uncomfortable.

The first one to visit was Lu Shanji.

Lu Shanji has been idle for a while, on the matter of whether to negotiate peace with the Houjin Tartars, Yang Sichang has asked Lu Shanji's opinion, Lu Shanji's attitude is very clear, resolutely disagrees with the peace talks, does not agree with the Houjin Tartars to bow down and profess to the ministers, Lu Shanji also has some pre-opinions, thinking that the Houjin Tartars are just using the delaying tactics again.

When Yang Sichang was in the worst mood, Lu Shanji came to visit, and at the time of Menke Queluo, Lu Shanji came, this is a real friend, and it is definitely not something that those who perfunctory trends can do.

Yang Sichang brought Lu Shanji into the study, he thought that Lu Shanji was here to comfort him, but he didn't expect that this conversation would become an extremely important conversation.

Lu Shanji did not directly talk about the adjustment of the cabinet, but directly talked about the matter between the emperor and Su Tiancheng.

"My lord, I think that it is almost impossible to reconcile between the emperor of the court and Lord Su, and I understand the wishes of my lord, and I still want to be able to deal with this contradiction properly, but judging from the development of the current situation, this is impossible."

"Brother Lu, why did you say that?"

"It's very simple, look at the cabinet, it's clear, the first assistant Lord Zhou is good at speculating on the emperor's thoughts, and any decision made will not go against the emperor's will, the second assistant Lord Chen, who once served as the governor of Liaodong, once adhered to the emperor's will, launched a large-scale attack on the Houjin Tartars in Liaodong, and returned in a fiasco, while taking responsibility, the impression of Lord Su will never be much better, and he also knows the emperor's thoughts, and Lord Qian, according to the understanding, Lord Qian is the leader of Donglin students, There has always been a contradiction between Master Su and Donglin Academy, and in such a situation, it is tantamount to a fantasy to think that the cabinet can dissuade the emperor, let the emperor calm down, and properly handle the contradiction between Master Su and Master Su. ”

Yang Sichang nodded and didn't speak, what Lu Shanji said was the truth.

Lu Shanji's words quickly turned intense.

"During this time, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and I have been thinking about one thing in the next, the deceased Lord Sun is loyal to the court and the emperor, and has contributed to the stability of my Ming Dynasty.

When Lu Shanji said this, Yang Sichang couldn't help it.

"Brother Lu, what do you mean by these words, don't you want to implicate Elder Sun, this kind of battle in the court, I think it's better not to get involved."

A sneer appeared on Lu Shanji's face.

"My lord was the first assistant of the cabinet not long ago, some of the truth does not need to be said clearly, it is also clear, the adult wants to stay out of the matter, is this possible, if you can do this, Lord Sun will have made such a choice, in the next day to visit the adult, it is a long time ago, the adult used to be the first assistant of the cabinet, in the next these words are not easy to say, will not say, but now the situation is different, there are not many taboos in the next, in the next thought, the adult must make a choice, or continue to be loyal to the emperor and the court, Either choose Su-sama, there is no middle way. ”

Yang Sichang's face turned a little pale, this was what he was most worried about, and it was something he had never been willing to consider.

Seeing Yang Sichang's expression, Lu Shanji decided to say the ultimate goal, he was a Mongolian, straightforward, and would not hide it, although he once served as the secretary of the military department, but in terms of major things, he still maintained such a character.

"Don't hide it, I think about it, I'm ready to leave the capital, go to Dengzhou, if you think about rebellion and rebellion, you can go to the court to denounce, you can only admit it, but there are a few words to remind your lord, the storm in the court is coming soon, since the emperor has done it, it is impossible not to clean, if there is an intersection with Lord Su in the court, it is estimated that there will be no good results, and he will definitely be held accountable, in the next is one of them, during the Wanli period and the apocalypse, these things are still missing, In the next to see, the power of Jinyiwei and Dongchang began to increase, the power of the inner palace is expanding day by day, in this case, the emperor is thinking about control, I am afraid it is difficult to fully grasp, the storm of excluding dissidents is coming, I don't want to wait in the capital to die, in the next also hope that the adults will think deeply.
