() Summer is coming slowly.

The abolition of the troops of the guards in Shaanxi did not cause much repercussions in various places in Ming Dynasty, and there was no movement in the court.

But inside the imperial court, there was an atmosphere of unrest.

Since the sixth year of Chongzhen, the court situation has gradually turned to stability, and the replacement speed of court ministers has slowed down. It used to be adjusted like a revolving door, so the hearts of court ministers have gradually begun to stabilize. However, the party struggles within the court are still Intense, especially the several imperial examinations, has become a battlefield for many literati officials to recruit talents. In this battle, of course, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, has gained the most.

Serving as the chief assistant of the cabinet for six consecutive years, Wen Tiren's disciples can be said to be all over the world.

But there is also an unfavorable situation, that is, the rise of Zhongxing Academy has greatly weakened Wen Tiren's pace of recruiting scholars. , The emperor ordered to use the royal clan, which threatened Wen Tiren's authority as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

The dismantling of the guards in Shaanxi has been successful, greatly stabilizing the situation, and the frontier troops in Ningxia and Yulin have begun to show their power. There are two tribes in Mongolia, because they are not convinced that the Xibe and Daur tribes monopolize the market, they have launched a small The scale of the attack was intended to attack Fort Anning and Jingbian.Destroyed the mutual market, but was defeated by the new army.Bow down.

On the issue of appointing the commander of the capital of the new army, Wen Tiren's right to speak was greatly restricted.

The formation of the new army has attracted great attention from the emperor. The emperor has seriously thought about the issue of recommending the commander of the capital. This is a brand new army with very good combat effectiveness, and the responsibility is very important.The key point is to fight and defend the Mongolian tribes, their status is extraordinary, and according to the emperor's intention, the new army will slowly begin to shoulder the border guards in Shaanxi and Shanxi, that is to say, the next step will be to abolish the Shanxi Datong frontier army, Form a new army.This commander is equivalent to the governor of the frontier army.

Wen Tiren understood this meaning, and he recommended Zhang Fengyi, governor of Datong, as the commander of the new army capital.

As for Su Tiancheng, he didn't express any opinions on this matter.He was originally a high-ranking and powerful person, and he was in charge of the Jiangning battalion. If he continued to intervene in the selection of the commander of the new army, it was likely to arouse suspicion, and further arouse the relationship between him and the emperor.If this level of relationship is shaken, Daming will really fall into a place of eternal doom.

The emperor focused on seeking Sun Chengzong's opinion.

The candidate recommended by Sun Chengzong.It is Lu Xiangsheng, the general manager of Liaodong.

Speaking of which, Lu Xiangsheng used to be Zhang Fengyi's subordinate. When Zhang Fengyi was the minister of the Ministry of War, Lu Xiangsheng was the Minister of the Ministry of War. Comparing the situation of the two, Lu Xiangsheng is undoubtedly better, but in terms of qualifications, Zhang Fengyi is much stronger.

The emperor adopted Sun Chengzong's opinion and appointed Lu Xiangsheng as the commander of the capital of the new army.

This incident dealt a huge blow to Wen Tiren.

From this time on, Wen Tiren's attitude changed a lot, and he began to wrestle with the court's party struggles. He was more concerned about the candidates recommended by the Ministry of Officials than ever, and tried to install his cronies, trying to stabilize his own cabinet. The position of chief assistant.

A wise man is sure to make mistakes. In fact, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren has done a lot of things in the past six years. The emperor has also considered many things. He thinks that Wen Tiren has done a lot of things. He can't bear to replace him immediately. If Wen Tiren can stabilize Come down, adjust your position, and you can still persist for a while.

It's a pity that Wen Tiren didn't have such patience. The battle with Zhou Yanru, the former chief minister of the cabinet a few years ago, greatly stimulated him, and made him feel that he could not sit still.

Moreover, the emperor gradually began to mention the royal family, and Zhu Shen’s extravagance and extravagance faded away. Ji  江  5 evening chant Mou  Zai Yu Miao screen dam strontium e way ㄈ a   rose sputum weed resistance  disease?br>

The opportunity came.

A censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the joint military department wrote a memorial to the impeachment. The object of impeachment was the 75-year-old cabinet assistant Sun Chengzong.

It is very common for Shizhong and Yushi to impeach cabinet members. Their duty is to report the rumors, and they don’t need to bear much responsibility. Anyway, if they foresee any danger and find clues, they will be impeached, regardless of impeachment. Does it make sense, and even some Shizhong and Yushi are proud of impeaching cabinet members and contradicting the emperor, and don't care about encountering the imperial staff.

This kind of ethos has been suppressed for a period of time. Wen Tiren is not used to and does not like this kind of practice. Any cabinet minister who likes to be authoritarian will not like such a person, but in the court, there is no change. The system of ethos, so after a period of time, Geshizhong and Yushi became active again.

The impeachment of Sun Chengzong this time is very serious. It mainly means that Sun Chengzong has dissidents, formed a party for personal gain, and intends to rebel.

The reason is well known. Sun Chengzong has a good relationship with Shaanxi governor Su Tiancheng, and he supported Su Tiancheng to set up another set in Shaanxi, gradually forming a separatist situation. Moreover, Sun Chengzong strongly recommended the royal family members to enter the court as officials. One of them, King Xie, He was originally restless, but after finding such an opportunity, he wanted to strengthen his own strength and pose a threat to the emperor.

In the impeachment memorial, the most important bomb is the association, and Sun Chengzong is the founder of the Zhongxing Society.

It is undeniable that as Sun Chengzong entered the cabinet and became the cabinet's second assistant, many members of the Zhongxing Academy began to regard themselves as Sun Chengzong's students. In the huge Zhongxing Academy, it is impossible for everyone to be loyal and kind. The villains who are stalking, these people also did something in the local area, and they were caught by Shizhong and Yushi.

The complaint is like this, the more things you say, the better, everything you have and what you don’t, so that you have no place to defend, and the object of impeachment is Sun Chengzong, who is highly respected. Wouldn't it be famous in history for Shizhonghe Yushi?

According to the past practice, such an impeachment memorial cannot attract attention at all, and the Shizhong and Yushi who proposed the impeachment will even be punished, but this time, the situation is different.

Wen Tiren began to pay attention to this impeachment memorial, and specifically brought it up during the cabinet meeting.

After Sun Chengzong heard these reasons for impeachment, he was very anxious. He was not mentally prepared for such impeachment, and he was speechless and did not make a strong defense.

Sun Chengzong is 75 years old, and his reputation is more important than his life. It is inevitable to be angry when he suddenly encounters such impeachment, and it is understandable that he can't speak for a while.

However, this matter was seen by some people as an opportunity.

As a result, a large-scale impeachment and debate started among the ministers.

Above the court, such a scene hadn’t happened for many years. Part of the Shizhonghe Yushi, as if the lion saw the blood, felt that the time had come for them to show their abilities, and began to move around.

The appearance of a key person pushed this matter to the foreground, and this person was Cao Huachun, the eunuch who supervised the Beijing camp.

The struggle between Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen ended in failure. Since then, Cao Huachun has been a man with his tail between his legs, and he has become much more honest. He also took great pains in managing the Beijing camp, and gradually won the emperor's favor. However, his ultimate goal is still thinking of To be able to return to the palace, return to the side of the emperor, and continue to serve as the eunuch of Bingbi.

It's a pity that Wang Chengen's position has always been very stable, Cao Huachun didn't have the slightest chance, and the relationship between Wang Chengen and Su Tiancheng is good, and the relationship between Su Tiancheng and Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou and others is extraordinary. Cao Huachun had nothing to do.

Now, the opportunity has come, someone proposes such an impeachment memorial, Cao Huachun will never miss the opportunity.

Of course, if Cao Huachun wants to exert his strength, he needs to cooperate with Wen Tiren. Wen Tiren is the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Wen Tiren has never been interested in eunuchs, and has never made friends with eunuchs, and the relationship between Wen Tiren and Cao Huachun is not very good. When Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru were fighting, Cao Huachun once helped Zhou Yanru, which made Wen Tiren very dissatisfied .

Even though Wang Chengen held great power and was always by the emperor's side, Wen Tiren didn't deliberately make friends.

Therefore, Cao Huachun has no bottom in his heart, and he wonders if he can unite with Wen Tiren and work together to impeach Sun Chengzong.

In Cao Huachun's view, this is a chain that pulls the whole body together. Once Sun Chengzong is impeached and Sun Chengzong is frustrated, then the unlucky ones will be Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou. He would fall down accordingly. Under such circumstances, Su Tiancheng would suffer a severe blow. In the imperial court, he would hardly have anything to rely on. The next person to be affected would be the great eunuch Wang Cheng'en.

The result of this interlocking chain, Cao Huachun was completely predictable.

Cao Huachun wanted to make friends with Wen Tiren this time, and he also had a certain degree of self-confidence. From time to time, everyone knew that the emperor began to rely heavily on Sun Chengzong and neglected Wen Tiren. This indicated that Wen Tiren's position as the chief assistant of the cabinet was shaken. It is not impossible for Wen Tiren to join forces with him to carry out actions in order to keep his position as the chief assistant of the cabinet. The two have their own places and have different goals.

After thinking about this clearly, Cao Huachun started to act after a careful arrangement. (To be continued. You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets.
