Gao Qiqian, who was overjoyed when Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde led their troops, had already sent six memorials to Beijing. He was in Laizhou, but his heart was long gone.But he didn't know that because of him, Chongzhen encountered the first major trouble in the capital at this time since he ascended the throne.

The troublesome thing was that the cabinet, the six ministries, and the constitutional way forced the emperor to summon the officials. The number of participating officials accounted for almost three-quarters of the court.

The officials were furious, and they had only one goal, the inner ministers to supervise the army, specifically for Gao Qiqian, and even more for Emperor Chongzhen.The memorial on the joint name of hundreds of officials pointed out that the internal ministers supervised the army for a mistake, and the internal ministers were to be dismissed. From now on, all civil, military, military and political affairs of the country can only be held by foreign officials, and the internal ministers will never be allowed to act as foreign officials.

How could Chongzhen be willing to give up after finally fighting for the power of the inner minister to supervise the army from the foreign court?But Baiguan's attack on Gao Qiqian made him unable to get angry.Denglai's affairs were really messed up, wasted food, grass and money, but failed to make meritorious deeds for a long time, and instead harmed the officials. This made Chongzhen, who was determined to seize power from the foreign court, lack confidence.Although Chongzhen is very dissatisfied with Gao Qiqian now, after all, Gao is the No. 1 minister and supervisor of the dynasty. He was personally sent out by himself as the emperor, which is of great significance. .To keep Gao Qiqian is to keep the power of the inner ministers to supervise the army. This power is not very important to Chongzhen, who has been repeatedly suppressed by foreign courts, but very important.

As for what those people from the outer dynasty were going to do, Chongzhen knew it well, and he was very annoyed. Those guys were definitely not really designing for the country and sharing the worries of the emperor. They were all for the imperial court and their wealth. Going to do it!To put it bluntly, those people don't want their power to be checked and balanced, let alone the emperor's own power. [

Now, Chongzhen really regrets it a bit. He shouldn't have been overwhelmed at the beginning, and he couldn't figure it out by the people in the outer dynasty, and forcibly weakened Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Otherwise, relying on the emperor's brother to stay With the strength of the factory guards, does the foreign court dare to bully the emperor like this? !

There is no regret medicine in the world, and the ancestors would not set up factory guards for a reason, there must be a reason for it.He only hates himself for being too young, too easy to be fooled by the gang of Donglin Party, and now, he can only be dumb and swallow Huanglian, unable to express his suffering.

I thought that if the ministers of the Ministry of Officials, the Minister of War, and the important officials of the Taixian Branch were replaced, the courtiers would feel afraid, and they would take the initiative to stop and give some power to the emperor. At least, they should not always criticize the emperor's actions.Things were exactly as Chongzhen hoped. After beating Wei Guoxiang and being dismissed, the trend of foreign courts overseeing the internal ministers and the army has faded. After all, it is not easy to be an official, and no one wants to really anger the emperor. The officer is lost.

I don't want the eunuch Wang Kun to play the previous book out of public interest or selfishness. He clearly pointed out that Chen Yutai, the last champion of the new department and the Hanlin Academy, had stolen the name of the department.

This was a blow to the hornet's nest, and the outsiders, who were originally calm, burst into an uproar. They didn't care whether Wang Kun's performance was true or not. They only knew that an eunuch dared to attack the head of the country!

Regardless of whether the chief assistant is the former or the current one, or whether he is guilty or not, they don't care, they only know that the eunuch must not be attacked, otherwise it will be another Wei Zhongxian!What's more, although Zhou Yanru is no more than the first assistant, he is still the imperial court's Dongge University scholar, and he is also the leader of the Donglin Party members in the world. To attack him is to attack the imperial court and the Donglin Party!

Whether it is tolerable or unbearable, the government and the public are full of Donglin party members, even the chief assistant Wen Tiren dare not collide with them easily, how can Wang Kun, an inner court eunuch, poke this hornet's nest.

Under the instigation of members of the Donglin Party, Zhou Yanru's cronies He Ruchong, Wu Zongda, Zheng Yiwei, and others, all officials began to participate in impeachment, but it was not Wang Kun's impeachment, because people with discerning eyes knew that Zhou Yanru was indeed a fraud. Yes, if you get entangled in this matter, no matter whether you win in the end, the reputation of Zhou Yanru and the Donglin Party will not be very good, so they chose another direction, which is to continue to accuse the inner ministers of supervising the army and force the emperor to bow his head outward. , severely punish that daring eunuch Wang Kun!

Donglin's party feathers were all over the world, and for a while, memorials accusing the ministers and supervisors of violating the ancestral system filled the Secretary of General Administration. Compared with the previous officials who wrote letters to Wei Guoxiang alone, they couldn't be bigger.The inner court is also fighting against the same enemy. Their power comes from the imperial power. If the emperor's power is weakened, their power is weakened. They got the benefits, so at the behest of Wang Dehua, Wang Chengen and other senior officials, the yamen of the inner court quickly started to fight back, causing such a commotion that the entire capital is now talking about this matter.If the scholars in the guild hall gather together and don’t scold the inner court, they will definitely not be the loyal ministers and righteous sons of Ming Dynasty. Walking around the city of Beijing, some bold people even say that the emperor is stupid and wants to repeat the previous dynasty The old affairs of the eunuch party harmed the country.What's more, the scientific and honest young speech officer clamored to learn from Yang Lian, the sage of Donglin, and remonstrated with death!

The internal and external dynasties were so incompatible, Chongzhen was very angry and impatient. Once he went to the palace, the people below were all accusing his ministers of supervising the army, so that no one talked to him, the emperor, about military affairs.I hope Wen Tiren, the chief assistant, can suppress this trend, but Wen Tiren can't stand it alone, it's good to be able to keep silent. If even Wen Tiren, the chief assistant, bows to the Donglin Party, then this is really not something that the emperor can do Got the Lord's.

Damn it, mess it up!Who gave Waichao such arrogance!Who allowed them to bully me like this, do they still have my emperor in their eyes!Hmph, if you don't fight this arrogance outside, how can I be the emperor!

Chongzhen was furious, but he knew that he was absolutely isolated, the emperor alone was fighting against the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, how could he fight?I can't kill them all, let alone whether I have the ability to kill them all, even if I have, I can't do it, the Ming Dynasty has internal and external troubles, and I have to point them at them to do things.

Just when he was restless, something good happened. The eunuchs he sent to make a face for him and a case came up, made Chongzhen even more convinced that sending internal officials to supervise the army was a good move, and it also greatly increased his confidence in defeating foreign officials.

Alright, since you want me to meet the officials, then I will!

Chongzhen decided to fight against the Confucians with words, to make Waichao feel ashamed, and to make himself the emperor really decent.A decree was passed down that all officials above the fifth rank in Beijing should go to the Wenhua Palace to have an audience.
