As for the turbulent storms outside the Ming Dynasty, the news that Lin Dankhan sent troops to the south of the desert has not caused much turbulence in the current capital.
Everyone can see that if it is the terrifying consequences of the unification of Mongolian grasslands, compared with the horrors of the future, the obstacles that are near in front of you are obviously more concerned.
Nowadays, the empress dowager's party has been headed by Sun Chuanting and Li Banghua, while Li Banghua and Sun Chuanting have been almost depressed since that day. Apart from still working diligently on political affairs, they have not even entered the palace once in the past month.
As a result, the consequences will become increasingly unpredictable.
In the past, at least there were some two cabinet masters who suppressed the prestige, and both the queen mother and those with ulterior motives were afraid.
Now that the two cabinet masters are almost leaving the market, there are naturally many people with ulterior motives to cater to it.
The already surging undercurrent is becoming more and more chaotic, the depression between the government and the country is becoming more and more obvious, and the aura of the storm is becoming more and more clear.
In Huangji Hall, another daily court meeting was held.
I don’t know when, but the decision-making person in this court is no longer the Duke of Qin who assists in the country.
All officials submitted a memorial, the Empress Dowager made a decision, the cabinet ministers discussed, and Li Xiu and a group of martial arts were like wooden men, sitting and watching the court proceedings.
However, now, this situation has obviously changed again. In the past, Sun Chuanting and Li Banghua, the two cabinet ministers who had done their best to smooth things over for the Empress Dowager, have retreated and turned into a response tube.
No longer has the same spirit and power as before, the power of the cabinet ministers is revealed.
The position established by Li Xiu has long since passed away from the head of all officials and the head of the martial arts honors. He looks neither sad nor happy, and he can't tell what he is thinking.
And the martial arts heroes behind him also followed suit, looking at the nose and the heart one by one, just like this court, and it had nothing to do with them.
There were obviously many new faces in the court without realizing it, most of them were promoted from Jiangnan, and their identity was extremely clear.
Now, the ones who danced the most in the court were them, especially after the two cabinet masters Li Banghua and Sun Chuanting were obviously silent, these Donglin Party members who had left the center of the court for a long time jumped up completely.
With most civil and military sides silent, the jumping of these Donglin Party members is undoubtedly extremely dazzling.
"Report to Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, since the late emperor was in power, the cabinet ministers have not added any additional funds. Now the state is difficult. I think that we should select virtuous ministers and add them to the cabinet ministers..."
In the midst of the noise, the sound of court officials coming out and the sound of the sound of the music was clearly transmitted to the ears of the civil and military officials in the hall.
Soon, many court officials stood up and agreed.
But more court officials still stood firmly in the court without saying a word.
"What does Qin Gong think?"
At this time, Empress Dowager Zhou looked at Li Xiu and asked.
"The Queen Mother is wise, please ask the Queen Mother to judge."
Li Xiu bowed his hand and said a few polite words, but he didn't say a word.
At this moment, he looked at the new Minister of Rites who made a comment and added a minister to the cabinet with interest.
It was not because of the position of Minister of Rites, nor because of the proposal to add cabinet ministers. Li Xiu was just simply interested in this person.
This person is Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, who is the most famous moral benchmark and a model of literati today.
Since he turned his gaze to Donglin, he has heard of this person's name countless times.
This person has also attracted contact countless times and wanted to enter the center of the capital, but he held them down with one hand. Now, he has made him do what he wants!
Of course, if Li Xiu had been in the past, he would have cared a little bit. Now, these are no longer worth Li Xiu's attention. His impression of this person is naturally the famous saying in history: "The water is too cold!"
Such a moral model with both positive and negative sides is undoubtedly extremely shameful.
Thinking of this, Li Xiu suddenly chuckled.
What qualifications does Li Xiu have to do to be ashamed of others?
If that day really comes, the infamous for the ages will be much cooler than this mere water, and it will be much more colorful!
Li Xiu's smile undoubtedly made the court, which was still noisy, silent suddenly. Empress Dowager Zhou's words were subconsciously forced to hold them in.
Qian Qianyi, who was already full of energy, suddenly his expression solidified, and his spine was already a little cold.
The cold color flashed between Queen Mother Zhou's eyebrows, her onion fingers tightly clenched, and the blue veins on her back were exposed.
The court sneered, and all officials were silent. What did they regard her as a person and what did they regard the emperor's power!
"Why is Qin Gong laughing? But what is wrong with my official saying?"
During this silence, Qian Qianyi had to stand up with his teeth and bow to Li Xiu and asked.
"Nothing happens..."
Li Xiu waved his hand, spit out two words, and then remained silent again.
Such perfunctory attitude made the atmosphere in the court extremely strange. Empress Dowager Zhou could no longer suppress her anger, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was unconsciously tearing and shattering.
Qian Qianyi was also feeling even more distressed at this moment. He really didn't want to fight against this Qin Gong. Others would worry about his reputation. This Qin Gong who killed people may not be sure!
In Jiangnan, he dared to speak unscrupulously because he was thousands of miles away from Qin Gong. It is unlikely that Qin Gong would kill him, a literati leader all over the world just because of Qian Qianyi's words.
But now it’s different. He tried hard to get to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother tried hard to get him from Jiangnan to the court. He didn’t let him be a turtle, but wanted him to fight against this Qin Gong!
At this time, if he was afraid, the countless Jiangnan literati who regarded him as a role model would have the queen mother who had high hopes for him, everything...
Qian Qianyi was a little afraid to think about the consequences.
But fortunately, this time, Qian Qianyi didn't need to worry about it.
Empress Dowager Zhou suppressed his anger and looked at the ministers who were standing at the free time of the old god, and brought the topic back to the main topic again.
"What do you think, what do you think?"
"I think it's OK."
Li Banghua bowed. He, who used to value the most etiquette system, did not even mention the court recommendation that the court officials were necessary. After just a few words, he was silent again.
"Wei Chen agreed."
"I'm sorry!"
The other cabinet ministers also agreed one after another, and their words were also extremely brief.
"Since all the officials think this is the case, the cabinet will choose a day to hold a court promotion and select capable ministers to enter the cabinet..."
The court discussion has become the home court of Empress Dowager Zhou. Empress Dowager Zhou is in charge of the government affairs, as if he is in the mouth of the heavenly constitution, and the ministers bow down. The emperor's authority seems to be completely displayed.
However, from the corner of his eyes, whenever Li Xiu, who was standing at the head of the martial arts honor, felt like he was stuck in his throat, and his heart was filled with more gloomy.
Li Xiu's perception was so keen. The seemingly hidden emotional fluctuations were undoubtedly clear in his perception.
After glanced at the gloom that flashed away on Queen Mother Zhou's face, Li Xiu was speechless in his heart.
He didn't even know how to describe the empress dowager.
Is it long hair, short-sightedness, quick success or out-of-win situation? Or is it completely foolish?
Looking at the two cabinet masters Li Banghua and Sun Chuanting who had been full of sorrow at some point, Li Xiu could clearly understand their feelings.
Teammates are too stupid and desperate.
The opponent is too stupid and repeatedly makes unexpected moves, and Li Xiu is also helpless.
