12 The Cabinet's Counterattack

The imperial edicts were drawn out one by one, and Hu Guang read them one by one. If he was not satisfied, he immediately asked to rewrite them. He was busy until noon and finished writing several imperial edicts.

Hu Guang's body has been working hard for days and was still all night last night. Although he was young, the accumulated fatigue was not fake. At noon, his stomach was "gurgling".

As the saying goes, people are iron and rice, and only by eating and drinking enough can we have a revolution if we are healthy... The capital of being an emperor was like an emperor. Hu Guang thought in his heart and immediately patted his butt and left.

"Greatly send your Majesty!" The ministers led by the chief minister Han Du bowed and bowed. Everyone felt relieved in their hearts.

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the Prime Minister Han Tsu!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the second auxiliary Li Biao!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the cabinet minister Qian Longxi!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, comes from the cabinet minister's mission!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, comes from the cabinet minister Zhou Yanru!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the Minister of War Shen Yongmao!"

Hu Guang was walking, and heard the sound of pleasant "ding" sounds. When he saw the lower left corner of the chat group, the achievement value was: 56, and he couldn't help but be happy.

But he didn't expect that before this was over, the system prompt sound immediately continued.

"Ding, achievement value +5, from eunuch Cao Huachun!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the eunuch Little Li Zi!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the eunuch's beard!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the palace maid Qiuyue!"

"Ding, achievement value +1, from the palace maid Shunka!"

“…”

Hu Guang quickly glanced at the lower left corner of the chat group and found that the achievement value finally stopped at 76. It turned out that the eunuchs and palace maids who were serving on the platform this time were shocked by their performance.

When Hu Guang thought of this, he couldn't help but regret it. If he had known this, the show would have been bigger. He would have been more than 100,000 eunuchs and palace maids. Even if everyone gave him some achievement value, he would have hundreds of them. It was a mistake!

While summing up the experience and lessons, Hu Guang went to lunch with a little regret.

On this side, the civil officials ignored the military general Man Gui. Under the leadership of the chief minister Han Du, they silently returned to Wenyuan Pavilion. No one had the heart to eat, and were thinking about Emperor Chongzhen's words and deeds. The other officials in the cabinet saw that something was wrong, and they did not dare to speak out, trying to minimize their presence.

After a long time, a long sigh suddenly sounded in the quiet cabinet. Everyone looked at it, but found that it was the chief assistant Han Du, who seemed to be much older. After sighing, he reached out to get the brush.

When Qian Longxi saw this, he quickly stood up from his seat, strode over and asked with concern: "Are you?"

Han Yu looked up at him, and didn't know what was conveyed in his eyes. He seemed to be depressed and said: "A common man is old and has no energy. I will write a resignation report now and plan to retire and return home!"

When he heard this, everyone in the cabinet looked over with shock, no matter the size of the position.

The second auxiliary Li Biao's face changed a few times. He suddenly stood up and scolded the books and said, "You all go out!"

In this case, everyone knows what inside information is. However, even if you have the heart to gossip, no one dares to keep it and quickly responded.

As soon as these people left, Li Biao immediately walked to Han Hou and said with a sincere look: "The chief minister is so serious, and the cabinet cannot do without you!"

Although he coveted the position of chief minister, Emperor Chongzhen just made a series of decisions that shocked the court. As a cabinet assistant, he would definitely be under pressure from civil and military officials, royal relatives and nobles. In particular, the cabinet minister was the first to bear the brunt. At least, let Han be the scapegoat first, and after blocking this wave, it would not be too late to take office. Therefore, he spoke out immediately to keep him.

How could he not know his thoughts for the worldly-wise Han Du. The reason why he wanted to retire now was that he knew that he should be the chief minister and the position of the chief minister was not guaranteed, so why bother to take the blame? Don’t you, Li Biao, want this position, just give it to you.

This place is thirty-seven years old, Zhou Yanru, who had just entered the cabinet, was the youngest. Although he also hoped that the ministers who were pressing on him would all get out of here, it was an extraordinary period and he had no idea at all, so he didn't want these big guys to leave at this time.

He heard what Han Yu said, and he should be resentful of the emperor's words that the old man scolded him, so he quickly advised: "Your Majesty is also unintentional. Please don't mind the Prime Minister. Put state affairs first and overcome difficulties together!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Longxi's body suddenly shook, and then he seemed dizzy when he held his forehead with his hand, which attracted other people's attention.

"Old Master Qian, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Yanru asked with concern next to him.

Qian Longxi waited for a while before slowly answering: "I am not feeling well and I have been holding it down. It's just now..."

He said this, and stopped and said with regret: "I'm old, it seems that I need to rest for a while."

As he said that, he slowly turned to his seat and wanted to write something, obviously he was going to take a leave.

Cheng Jiming looked at it, and couldn't help but feel very despised. Among these cabinet members, he was the largest, seventy-one, but he didn't say that he was useless, but he saw that two people wanted to use this reason to take leave or return home.

In fact, he understood very well that the emperor's decision in the morning, especially the part who had fame and fortune, had to participate in defending the city, otherwise he would pay the money and grain, which would inevitably offend too many people. Han Yu and Qian Longxi were already worried that how could he offend more people because of Yuan Chonghuan's incident?

If they retreated so much, it would be difficult for the emperor to live, and the other person would be sad. As he thought so, he turned his attention to Ji Sui.

Sure enough, when Li Biao saw that Han Yu and Qian Longxi were not listening to advice, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "The emperor is still too young. He was impulsive, but he was discouraged. In this case, Biao was punished and he had to write a letter to ask for an explanation for the chief assistant. Otherwise, he would have no face to be the second assistant."

When Cheng Jiming saw this, he sneered in his heart. He didn't say anything and just watched the change. If three cabinet ministers were vacant, the emperor would definitely be in a dilemma.

Well, the emperor didn't know what was going on, but suddenly became so aggressive and arbitrary. It would be good for them to let the emperor understand some truths.

Besides, Cao Huachun followed Emperor Chongzhen silently and walked towards the harem. With more time to think about it, he felt a little panicked.
