At this time, a delicate balance was maintained in the court. In the cabinet, the eunuch party held three of the five seats. Among them, the first assistant Gu Bingqian had a wavering position. The second assistant Shao Fuzhong controlled the household department and was the head of the Zhejiang Party. The second assistant Zhao Nanxing was the official department. Shangshu, a high-ranking official, is also the leader of the Donglin Party.
Among the six ministries, the eunuch party is in charge of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment, while the Du Censor and the Zuo Du Censor are controlled by the Donglin Party. Among the six ministries, the minister-general level controls each other.
But this balance itself is very delicate. Historically, a few months later the eunuch party used the Xiong Tingbi case to frame Yang Lian and others and massacred the Donglin party. Zhao Nanxing was ordered to step down. Gao Panlong, the imperial censor, was humiliated and committed suicide in the river. Mr. Lin Liu was brutally killed! So much so that the eunuchs have brought disaster to the world from now on!
Today's court meeting obviously triggered conflicts in advance, which Zhu Youxiao did not expect.
"The memorials of the ministers will be sent to the cabinet after the meeting, and the cabinet will handle it!"
After Zhu Youxiao reconciled with Xini, he said, "I want to set up a Ministry of Science and Technology. Do the ministers have any objections?"
Zuo Guangdou said: "I have read a lot of books since I was a child, but I really don't dare to agree with His Majesty's statement about a steam engine that can travel thousands of miles a day and carry hundreds of thousands of goods!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "I haven't seen Zuo Yushi before, it's normal. After the Ministry of Science and Technology, under the leadership of Wang Qing and Song Qing, successfully develops it, all the officials' doubts will be cleared up!"
Zuo Guangdou said in a deep voice: "May I ask, Your Majesty, how much does it cost to develop this thing?"
Zhu Youxiao said to Wang Zheng and Song Yingxing: "Two dear friends, please rise. Song Qing will explain this."
After Song Yingxing thanked him, he stood up and said: "According to the consensus between my ministers and Lord Wang, this steam engine requires tens of thousands of manpower and millions of money to achieve even a small success! But once this thing is produced, it will definitely be able to..."
"Tens of thousands of manpower and millions of money? Only a small amount of success can be achieved!" Zuo Guangdou snorted coldly and interrupted: "The state affairs are so corrupt! How can you waste money on such frivolous things!"
Song Yingxing said loudly: "Zuo Yushi, you don't understand the mystery and your Majesty's talent. Please listen to me!"
Zuo Guangdou glanced at him and said, "How famous are you?"
Song Yingxing blushed and said, "Student Song Yingxing is a student from Anhui Province!"
Zuo Guangdou sneered and said: "It's a small act, how can you stand upright in the court? You are flattering and catering to the holy will, you are really a villain! I advise you not to make a mistake, to excommunicate yourself, and to be infamy for thousands of years." !”
Song Yingxing laughed angrily and said: "So what if you raise a child? My respect for Your Majesty comes from the bottom of my heart, how can I be flattered? Do you dare to disrespect His Majesty's will?"
Zuo Guangdou also got angry and cursed: "Your Majesty is good at making utensils, that's just His Majesty's hobby! But villains like you are flattering others and deliberately catering to them! It's a waste of national power! The so-called King of Chu has such a slim waist, how hungry is he in the palace? Death! The King of Qi likes purple clothes, and there is nothing unusual in the country!"
"Shut up! You dare to use the cowardly King Chu as a metaphor for His Majesty! Punch me!" Song Yingxing was furious, and suddenly punched out, hitting Zuo Guangdou's eye with a bang!
"The Lord humiliates me to death! You will not be allowed to say anything to His Majesty!"
Song Yingxing yelled and punched again.
Zuo Guangdou ducked and punched back! He cursed in his mouth: "You are a sycophant!"
The two of them were punching and kicking, and they were fighting back and forth.
Everyone was stunned!
Everyone in the eunuch party looked around and marveled in their hearts, this newcomer's fighting power is so fierce!
The Donglin Party members were so angry that their eyes were red!
It makes no sense, but he actually started a fight! Is this still a scholar?
In the field, Song Yingxing was in his prime, but Zuo Guangdou was old and frail, and Zuo Guangdou soon fell behind.
Li Banghua raised his arms and shouted: "Rebellious ministers and traitors! Everyone can find them and punish them! Lords, punish the traitors!"
After he finished speaking, he took the lead and hit Wang Zheng.
The Donglin Party members took action one after another, and everyone in the Eunuch Party also whistled to join the chaos.
In an instant, in the Jinluan Palace, the officials were fighting together.
Zhu Youxiao was stunned, so angry that he waved his sleeves and returned to the palace on his own, followed closely by the Hakka family.
"Your Majesty, please don't leave. I'm here to remonstrate with you! Ouch! How dare you, the rebellious traitor, make a sneak attack!"
…
It wasn't until the guards arrived that he forced himself to pull away.
I saw that some of them had torn sleeves, some had bruises on their noses, and some had swollen faces... The ministers were in such a sorry state!
"Haha! So happy!" Zuo Guangdou laughed with a pair of panda eyes.
"Sweet the floor politely!" Wang Zheng was later approached by Zuo Guangdou, who also received several punches and was shaking with anger.
Cui Chengxiu came over and wanted to help Wang Zheng up. Wang Zheng waved his hand and said in disgust: "You eunuch gangster, please don't dirty my body!"
The Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party were all stunned. Which faction did Wang Zheng belong to?
All the ministers left together.
In the Palace of Qianqing, Zhu Youxiao and Hakka came in one after another. The two sisters Zhang Yan greeted them and saluted respectively.
When Keshi saw the two of them, she felt disgusted in her heart, especially when she saw Zhang Lizhen's inadvertently graceful figure while bending over!
Hakka smiled at Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, when I saw Zhen'er, I really liked her very much. My son has not been raised by me since he was a child. I really feel ashamed of him!"
Zhang Yan and Zhang Lizhen both frowned and looked at Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao smiled awkwardly and said: "Although Guoxing and I are not brothers, they are better than brothers. We are both brothers and sisters. Let's do it this way. We will promote Guoxing to be the envoy of the town, give him a python suit, and serve as an errand in the palace. In this way, when the country is prosperous, we can also fulfill our filial piety in front of my wife."
Keshi bent down to thank you and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled, thanked Hakka and left.
Both Zhang Yan and the sisters breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone could hear what Hakka meant just now. They still wanted Zhen'er and Guoxing to be a pair. Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao had a problem in his mind, so he temporarily resolved it with promotion. .
But Zhang Yan always had doubts. The Hakka mother and son were walking in the palace, and the younger sister's marriage was not decided for a day, so she couldn't take it lightly.
"Your Majesty, the palace is not fun at all. When should we go?" Zhang Lizhen said.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "After lunch, but at Huang Xiandi's place, you have to change your name to brother-in-law."
Zhang Lizhen rolled her eyes and said, "If you weren't with your brother Huang Xian, wouldn't your Majesty be my brother-in-law?"
Zhu Youxiao laughed loudly. Zhang Yan smiled lightly and took the little girl's hand and said, "Your Majesty, when I saw you coming back, your face seemed angry. Could it be that there was something going on in the court?"
Zhu Youxiao said: "Today, the Holy Mother proposed marriage to Guoxing and asked me to marry Zhen'er to Guoxing, but I didn't agree."
Zhang Lizhen giggled: "Brother-in-law Sheng Ming!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "The ministers have too many opinions on the matter of the Ministry of Science and Technology, so we can only do it first. For this matter, the ministers got into a fight. I couldn't get angry and retreated directly."
"Ah! Ministers fighting? That's very interesting!" Zhang Lizhen laughed.
Zhu Youxiao sighed and said: "The court is noisy. I don't like the court anymore! Let them go."
Zhang Yan said: "Your Majesty, don't get too angry. This is a major political matter. Please take your time. I and Zhen'er will go change clothes first."
"Go!" Zhu Youxiao waved his hand.
The Zhang Yan sisters returned to Kunning Palace. Zhang Yan said sternly: "Zhen'er, this Hakka is vicious and possessive. Your Majesty has temporarily suppressed it today, but she will definitely find another opportunity. Your Majesty will compare with Hakka." My biological mother returns the favor and has always obeyed her words. If Hakka says this twice, Your Majesty will definitely not be able to hold on!"
Zhang Lizhen snorted and said: "Your Majesty is just soft-eared!"
Zhang Yan glared at her and said: "Don't say such words in the future. I don't care what method you use. You must marry Mr. Huang first, otherwise my sister will never pay attention to you again! Do you hear me?"
At the end of the sentence, Zhang Yan increased her tone.
Zhang Lizhen was about to refute, but when she saw her sister's serious expression, she had no choice but to nod reluctantly.
The two changed their clothes and returned to the Qianqing Palace. After lunch, the three of them each took two guards and two palace maids, and left the palace in two sedan chairs.
