Therefore, in the past few days, he continuously reviewed the memorials and found that Xue Guoguan's draft of the memorials was most in line with his wishes. Of course, there were still many drafts of memorials, which made him feel that there were still some problems, so he marked them with a red pen and sent them back for Xue Guoguan to look at himself. When he could know how to best deal with them, Emperor Chongzhen would be able to get rid of the heavy workload. He was freed from reviewing the memorials and could safely let Xue Guoguan handle it.
Of course, this does not mean that Emperor Chongzhen completely ignored it. You still have to personally participate in random inspections of memorials and the formulation of major policies. This cannot be taken lightly.
Wenyuan Pavilion in the Forbidden City is where the offices of the cabinet ministers are located. Now there are only three assistant ministers working here, and they have to deal with memorials from all over the world, which is very busy.
Chen Baoting and another chamberlain came here each holding a thick stack of memorials and piled them on Xue Guoguan's desk. Then they conveyed the emperor's will to him, asking him to take a closer look at the drafts of these memorials, especially This is where there is a problem with the Zhubi instructions.
After saying this, they went back to repeat the order.
Xue Guo couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a moment when he looked at so many memorials that had been rejected. On the side, the other two ministers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that only Xue Guoguan's memorial was returned. The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads slightly.
Among them, Fang Fengnian thought for a moment, stood up, and first ordered everyone else in the cabinet to leave. Then he came to Xue Guoguan and whispered to him: "I heard that Eunuch Cao is still the admiral of Dongchang. It shows that the emperor still trusts him. !”
Hearing this, Xue Guoguan raised his head and stared at him, but said nothing.
"Look, the emperor did not reject our memorials, but he rejected so many of your memorials. What does this mean..." When Fang Fengnian said this, he suddenly sighed and said, "Ah, Brother Xue, Brother Xue, you are too I'm so impulsive! Don't forget, how did Wen Shoufu leave?"
What else could we do? Cao Huachun, the admiral of Wandong Factory, did not fall and was retaliated by counterattack!
Xue Guoguan naturally knew that, so he looked very unhappy and said angrily: "Didn't I say it right that day? If the factory guards had properly supervised it, why would our Ming Dynasty be so corrupt..."
"Brother Xue..." Before Xue Guoguan could finish his words, Fang Fengnian emphasized his tone as if he was angry, and interrupted him, "The emperor favors the eunuchs, why do you bother to provoke them? Let me tell you, you can do it in private I will apologize to Eunuch Cao here, and then find an opportunity to make up for my mistakes that day, say some nice things to the factory guards, and stop borrowing money. Then there won’t be so many things!"
"That's right!" When Yang Sichang heard this, he also walked over and agreed with Fang Fengnian, "These are troubled times. It is better to have more troubles than to have less troubles. Otherwise, I think the emperor will not just send back your memorial!"
When Xue Guoguan heard the two of them singing in harmony, he suddenly came back to his senses and sneered immediately: "Did I say something wrong at that time? In the Ming Dynasty, there was a problem with factory guards, so the officialdom was full of chaos and corrupt officials. Unscrupulous!"
"Since they all reached out for money they shouldn't have, wouldn't it be okay to borrow some from them when the court is in urgent need of money?" When Xue Guoguan said this, he understood something more, looked at the two of them and said, "We are As an assistant minister in the Ming Dynasty's cabinet, since you sit in this position, you must take on some responsibilities, right?"
Fang Fengnian and Yang Sichang couldn't help but look ugly when they saw that he was stubborn.
They didn't like anything, but Xue Guoguan wanted to say something, so he said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, I will advise the emperor on this matter, so I will naturally bear the responsibility. The emperor said that we will talk about it after the war is over, then I will wait for the war. When it is over, we will make a public report and make this matter clear, so that the emperor will have to deal with it. When the evidence is overwhelming, let’s see how the factory guards can shirk their responsibilities! The money and food you are worried about will definitely be taken care of!"
After finishing speaking, he ignored the two colleagues and picked up the beaten memorial to read the emperor's opinion.
The stones in the latrine are really smelly and hard, but they haven't changed at all! Seeing this, Yang Sichang cursed in his heart, threw up his sleeves and walked back to his seat.
Fang Fengnian looked at Xue Guoguan blankly, and wanted to persuade him again, so he said: "Brother Xue, you are still too young. You are so arrogant. Don't bring trouble to your family when the time comes!"
Hearing the sound, Xue Guoguan raised his head, stared at Fang Fengnian, and said coldly: "Is it because I'm afraid that I'll implicate you?"
He was also very dissatisfied in his heart. The two of them were both assistant ministers. Seeing the darkness of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, not only did they not advise the emperor, but they also wanted to stop him. Haha, the more this happens, the more they will have to do it. In the name of the cabinet, no one should want to stay out of the matter.
Xue Guoguan certainly knew that he was too vulnerable to attack alone. If he acted in the name of the cabinet, his ability to withstand counterattacks would be much stronger. No matter how unreliable the emperor was, he still had to consider the attitude of the entire cabinet.
When Fang Fengnian heard what he said, his face turned red with anger, and he immediately turned around and left. He said that he didn't mean anything, so he shouldn't have come to persuade him!
However, he had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped again, turned around and looked at Xue Guoguan, and said in a cold tone: "When it's your turn to make the decision in the cabinet, the chief minister will not let you do whatever you want!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked back to his seat regardless of Xue Guoguan's reaction.
Xue Guoguan, on the other hand, snorted coldly and was not frightened by this sentence. He seemed to have an attitude of loving it.
This scene was fed back to Emperor Chongzhen by the eavesdropping seeds in Xue Guoguan.
Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be a little surprised by this. At the same time, he was reminded that Xue Manzi was still capable, and it was necessary to be the chief minister of the cabinet!
As for Liu Yuliang, the current chief minister of the cabinet, Emperor Chongzhen was not satisfied. Especially after he overheard the conversation between Liu Yuliang and Cao Huachun, he felt that this man was timid and fearful, and did not have the courage to face the Manchus directly, nor did he have the courage to face the entire corrupt officialdom. .
But no matter what, Liu Yuliang is the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and he has only been the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty for a few months. It would be unreasonable to directly expel him to make way for Xue Guoguan. We must find an opportunity to drive him away legitimately, so that we can help Xue Guoguan become the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet!
Emperor Chongzhen was confident about this, but he didn't believe it. Liu Yuliang would have no problem at all. Now that Dongchang Cao Huachun is taking revenge, it is impossible for him to act against himself and collude with civil servants secretly. In this case, it must not be difficult to ask him to find something wrong with Liu Yuliang after the Royal Horse Supervisor incident.
Emperor Chongzhen did not expect that in fact, he had overthought and there was no need for Dongchang at all. Liu Yuliang himself was stupid and took the initiative to give him a reason to remove the position of chief assistant.
While he was thinking about changing the chief assistant, Luo Yangxing's eavesdropping seed suddenly heard something.
Okay, let’s watch the text live broadcast first and see what the commander of the Imperial Guard will do when he returns?
