"These days, who in the cabinet is not as tall as half a man?"

"I can't even count those who use natural disasters as excuses, those who use man-made disasters as hidden targets, and those who directly accuse Yuan Fu and Gao Ge of being treacherous ministers."

"However, as long as you are of one mind with me, I will not chill the hearts of the cabinet ministers just because some courtiers are surprised."

Zhu Yijun paused, looked at Wang Chonggu, and said seriously: "As long as you join the cabinet, I won't necessarily be famous in history, but at least, no matter what, I will give you dignity."

In today's court situation, the new party and the imperial party have merged, headed by Zhang Juzheng, Gao Yi, and Lu Tiaoyang in the cabinet, Shen Shixing, Wen Chun, Wang Guangguang in the household department, Ge Shouli, Hai Rui, and Li Zai in Shizhong

Ting and others were the backbone and relied on the emperor's support to gain a clear upper hand.

But at the same time, rural parties such as Southern Zhili, the Jin Party, which represented the interests of merchants and gentry, and the civilian conservative party, also joined forces to fight against the New Deal.

The trouble for this group of people is not who takes the lead or what to do to resist.

Rather, these people firmly occupied the so-called middle and high-level positions below the top level of the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy. They achieved this by impeaching ministers, spreading public opinion, intensifying conflicts, non-violence and non-cooperation, relying on the power of ministries and departments to exclude superiors, etc.

their counterattack.

As long as the central government relies on the bureaucracy to operate, this confrontation will never stop.

It can't be solved by killing one or two people and belittling someone.

Only through continuous self-innovation can we slowly eliminate these bureaucrats who are inconsistent and have corrupt ideas, so that the old machine of the Ming Dynasty can be iteratively updated with difficulty and slowness.

Once this process of self-iteration stops, people like Zhang Juzheng and Gao Yi will immediately face a counterattack.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun has never concealed his support.

If you join the cabinet, you will definitely get his support.

If you join the cabinet, you will definitely have dignity.

This is a guarantee for Wang Chonggu, who is worried about his wealth and life, that he will not kill the donkey out of trouble, nor will he simply use him.

It also reminds Wang Chonggu that they are now in the same direction and are focusing on nine sides. Why can't they rely on each other?

Wang Chonggu understood what the emperor meant.

Can't help but be silent.

This was the first time he met an emperor who spoke his truth.

It is said that the emperor has no jokes, and the emperor never makes promises easily, nor does he express his position on future affairs easily - such promises will be recorded in the history books.

Just like what Emperor Cai said just now, he will definitely treat his cabinet ministers with respect, but what if he encounters those cabinet ministers who are openly rebellious in the future?

The emperor should not wear shackles.

But at this moment, the emperor actually told him personally that no matter what, he would be dignified if he entered the cabinet.

This is to reassure him.

Too hasty.

Wang Chonggu sighed in his heart.

When he first stepped into Chengguang Hall, he was still using the emperor as his imaginary enemy, thinking about how he would respond if the emperor wanted to coerce him.

But after the emperor expressed his stance, he already showed some compassion.

That's right, it's mercy.

It was only the second time that he met the emperor, and he once again roped himself into the cabinet and promised that he would feel at ease.

It is good to compromise and discuss sincere feelings, but this is the emperor!

The Nine-Five Emperor has no choice but to use this method, which shows how far the little emperor has gone.

It can only show that the emperor felt that it was urgent to prepare the capital camp.

It also shows that the pressure brought by the big case in Huguang on the emperor was not as relaxed as he showed.

After all kinds of efforts, he, who was hated by the emperor, weighed more than a thousand pounds and had to work hard to win him over.

After the emperor finished speaking, Wang Chonggu had a change of heart, and in just a moment, he was already preparing to take over the cabinet position.

Suddenly I remembered something.

When the words came to his lips, he changed his words: "Since Your Majesty uses ministers, he wants me to plan the nine borders and wipe out the Tatars."

"Well, I have something that I don't understand."

Zhu Yijun straightened his back and said solemnly, "Wang Qing, please tell me."

Wang Chonggu looked puzzled: "Your Majesty, since you want to pacify the Tatars, why did you sacrifice Qian Yuan when you sacrificed the emperors a few days ago?"

Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty was carried out of the sacrificial temple by Emperor Shizong. He was not the only one who had a whim and could not stand his generation.

Before and after Sejong ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty experienced several large-scale Tatar invasions. The soldiers and people in the border towns suffered terribly, and the people all over the world were in rebellion.

It was precisely because of this gathering of complaints that the sacrifice to the ancestors of the Yuan Dynasty was abolished.

Now the emperor wanted to reorganize his army and focus on pacifying the Tatars, but he also offered sacrifices to the former Yuan Dynasty, which puzzled him.

A few days ago, he had doubts, but he had no chance to ask. Today, he was waiting for a price to sell, so he just made it known.

Zhu Yijun suddenly smiled after hearing what Wang Chonggu said. He thought it was something.

He stood up, calmed down his expression and said seriously: "Wang Qing, this is exactly what we have prepared for when the Tatars bow their heads and surrender."

Wang Chonggu was stunned, was the emperor thinking about something so far away!?

Zhu Yijun continued: "I understand what Wang Qing means. Our government will expel the Tartars and restore China, so naturally we cannot recognize the Tartars as our fathers."

"But, as a country of etiquette and benevolence, do we want to kill them all after annihilating the Tatars?"

Wang Chonggu was silent, he had been doing business with Ada Khan for several years.

Even if you don’t understand what ethnic integration is, you at least have some experience.

I immediately understood what the emperor meant.

This is to pave the way for dealing with the Mongols after the victory is decided.

He asked curiously: "Your Majesty offered sacrifices to Qian Yuan, but said you cannot recognize a thief as your father. What does this mean?"

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "It's a long story, but it was caused by Li Zhi's Huayi debate. I'll keep it short with Wang Qing."

"This matter should be treated in two parts."

"The former Yuan Yuan bandits who stole artifacts are not part of our country."

"However... since we established the Ming Dynasty, the former Yuan Dynasty can belong to me, China!"

"The bandits who lived in China are not from our country, but after being defeated by the Taizu of our dynasty, they became naturalized as vassals."

Wang Chonggu was stunned.

After a while, he finally said, "I'm taking the liberty."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and dismissed the matter: "How is Wang Qing thinking about joining the cabinet?"

Wang Chonggu took a deep breath and bowed slowly.

He said in a cautious tone: "I have my wish, but I don't dare to ask for my ear."

"After completing the garrison of the capital camp and Yueyang Weilun, I will obey the order and enter the cabinet."

Zhu Yijun quickly stepped forward and supported Wang Chonggu.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense spirit relaxed.

His gaze went beyond Wang Chonggu and looked outside the hall.

At dawn, a glimmer of light appeared in front of Chengguang Hall, like a unified Jin Dang, quietly tearing a hole.

He gently shook Wang Chonggu's hand and seemed to be giving instructions, but also seemed to be muttering to himself: "Order the troops as soon as possible."

"My clan members in Huguang can't wait any longer."
