On March 23, 26th year of Wanli, two days before Xiao Ruxun led his army to the Khukou, the sun shone brightly in Beijing.

To be honest, this is a rare sunny day for several months. The capital before was shivering in the cold and dampness. Even the emperor's life was not easy, let alone the common people huddled in the low and dilapidated house.

Now there is finally a rare sunny day. With a hint of spring, the people in the capital took out their cold and damp quilts and bed sheets, hung them in their yard to dry them, and sanitize them all the moisture and musty smells of the whole winter.

Coincidentally, the people in the palace were also busy drying quilts, bed sheets, washing clothes and other tasks. The sun made people feel warm and comfortable. The whole palace was full of clothes and quilts. The eunuchs directed the little eunuchs and palace maids below to dry things and wash things. Under the gentle touch of the sun, everyone's face was filled with a New Year-round smile.

However, this joy of ordinary people has never been found in the cabinet. The joy of small people like mediocre people has never been experienced by scholars who are not in the world.

Speaking of which, the old people in the cabinet have been frowning for a long time.

"Let's talk about it. Now Shanxi Datong needs reconstruction. Everyone talks about where to allocate the money."

Sitting in the second auxiliary position, Shen Yiguan spoke, opening the tone of today's cabinet meeting.

Speaking of which, the war in Datong, Shanxi suddenly broke out, and no one was prepared, and it turned out that it was very difficult for everyone to do it. The northern captives went south and made Datong Shanxi a mess. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced, frozen and hungry. But it was still a time of shortage of food, which made it worse. The situation that had been stabilized due to Myanmar's immigration policy became turbulent again.

Later, although Xiao Ruxun led his troops to fight and had already pacified Shanxi in a short time, and the dog thief was escorted back to the capital, Xiao Ruxun also came to report that he would pacify Datong in a short time and end the war.

They believe in Xiao Ruxun's military skills, and there is no doubt that Xiao Ruxun has never been defeated since his birth. He is the most reassuring and capable general in the empire. He handed over the army to him and gave him the command and had less constraints, and he could do what everyone expected. This is the emperor's warning.

The emperor was the guarantee for him, not sending military supervisors, but giving him real power. He not only became the first military general in the dynasty, but also became the first governor to command more than 100,000 troops but not monitored by the military supervisors. He had never obtained this trust.

During the special period, everyone treated him as an emergency governor, withdrew at the end of the matter and returned to Myanmar to become Zhennan Marquis, so they didn't care. What they cared about was nothing more than the reconstruction of the Shanxi after the war in Datong and the addition of cabinet members.

For these two matters, the six ministers and three cabinet ministers gathered several times to discuss solutions, but still found nothing.

The same is true today.

The chief assistant Zhao Zhigao, the second assistant Shen Yiguan and the auxiliary minister Shen Li, the Minister of Personnel Cai Guozhen, the Minister of War Shi Xing, the Minister of Rites Yu Jideng, the Minister of Justice Song Yingchang, and the Minister of Works Xu Zuo, the Supreme Decision Circle of the Ming Dynasty composed of eight big bosses gathered again to make further consultations on the post-war reconstruction work of Datong, Shanxi and the work of adding cabinet members to the cabinet.

Well, Yang Junmin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, did not come to participate, otherwise there would have been nine people.

But it doesn't matter. It's the same whether he comes or not. No one cares what he thinks, as long as he does as he does.

Everyone's resolution is something that he, the Minister of Revenue, cannot be violated. Unless he wants to overturn the table and refuse to do it, it is just right to rub him to the end, completely defeat the Jin party and completely defeat the Jin merchants.

But as for the current matter, two things could have been arranged separately, but the two things together could not help but excited the political animals.

Political animals are natural and instinct to eliminate dissidents. There is no political animal in the world who doesn’t like to exclude dissidents. Every one of the people who come to the highest decision-making circle of the Ming Dynasty is a first-class political animal. In dealing with the post-disaster reconstruction of Datong, Shanxi and the addition of cabinet members, we have long reached a consensus response attitude.

This is not an ordinary government affairs or ordinary elections, but a major political event.

Because these two things happened to meet the third thing Beijing Cha!

The cabinet has submitted a memorandum and waited for the emperor's approval, the Beijing storm will officially begin to sweep the city of Beijing.

After decades of evolution, Jingchao has long since transformed from the initial pure investigation of the merits, abilities and character of officials in Beijing to a tool for political struggles to fight against differences. What brought Jingchao into such an abyss was the cruel political struggle between Yan Song and the civil servant group during the Jiajing period.

From that time on, with the intentional or unintentional push by Emperor Jiajing, Jingcha became a means of the party to fight against the differences, rather than a means of self-cleaning for the country to eliminate incompetent and stupid officials. Jingcha lost its original meaning and became a weapon of struggle for the various factions among the ministers.

Political struggle is as cruel as the battlefield. The battlefield is killing people. Destroying a person physically, while political struggle is killing the heart. Destroying a person from the soul and spirit. There is no essential difference between the two.

In the circle of big bosses composed of nine people, everyone is accustomed to such methods. Even the Beijing Inspection six years ago, everyone has experienced vivid purposes. Everyone still remembers the fierce struggle scene at that time.

At present, several things are mixed together, and all the matters are intricate, and each thing can be connected with other things, and every thing is not pure.

In the disaster relief in Datong, Shanxi, the emperor named Shen Yiguan and asked Shen Yiguan to preside over the meeting. Shen Yiguan also confirmed that he would definitely preside over the work as the ladder for his future as the chief minister of the cabinet.

However, as a native of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Shen Yiguan was the general spokesperson for the interests of Shanxi merchants. Letting such a person preside over the disaster relief of Datong, Shanxi is like letting the Big Bad Wolf carry out the work of rescuing the danger and poverty alleviation against Little Red Riding Hood. It is simply Andersen than the fairy tale of Grimm.

Yang Junmin said 666.

Isn’t asking Shen Yiguan to preside over the disaster relief work in Datong, Shanxi to carry out disaster relief work, isn’t this equivalent to removing all the Shanxi merchants in Datong, Shanxi to defend and wait for Shen Yiguan to slaughter? Isn’t that just because people are the slaughter and I am the fish?

As the only big-name spokesperson for Shanxi merchants in the court, Yang Junmin said that he could not accept it. He once wrote a letter to the emperor, asking the emperor to allow himself to be the general person in charge of disaster relief work in Datong, Shanxi, because he was the Minister of Revenue and was familiar with various businesses.
