Chapter 118: Who should be nominated to join the cabinet?



Looking at Chen Hong walking back, Zhu Youxiao frowned.

He always felt that there was something wrong with Chen Hong, but that was not his concern.

Glancing at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao asked, "How's it going?"

"Your Majesty, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Luo Sigong, said that they are investigating this matter. Lord Luo thinks that this incident must be a collusion between people. The Embroidered Uniform Guard is looking for the person behind the scenes. Once the investigation is completed, the Embroidered Uniform Guard will start arresting people." Chen Hong hurriedly bowed and said.

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly.

This is naturally the best, and Luo Sigong also understood what he meant.

Waving his hand, Zhu Youxiao instructed: "Just keep an eye on it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Hong agreed.

Meanwhile, outside the palace.

Some news has already spread widely.

For example, countless people in the court made the above-mentioned impeachments, impeaching the Donglin Party for forming a clique for personal gain; impeaching Zou Yuanbiao, Yang Lian and others for colluding with Li Ruzhen and framing Xiong Tingbi, and then deceiving the emperor and shielding Yao Zongwen and others.

When this news spread, it caused an uproar in an instant.

This kind of thing has never happened before, but now that it has happened, it proves that someone has taken action.

Everyone has been in the officialdom for so many years and is very familiar with this routine, especially those who are from the Donglin Party.

Because this is what the Donglin Party is best at. Now that it has been used by others, they don't feel very good.

Suddenly some people panicked.

Needless to say, as for those who were captured by the East Factory, there was nothing they could do even if they panicked. Moreover, the people were already in the East Factory, so the news could not be passed on.

The ones who are panicking are the ones outside.

For example, Gao Panlong, and the Minister of Rites Sun Shenxing and others.

The two met again.

This time, both of them looked unhappy.

Things have developed to this point today, and some things may have to be done.

The two people looked at each other.

Gao Panlong said, "Lord Sun, I'm afraid it's time to make a decisive move."

Sun Shenxing's face also looked rather ugly, but he also knew that if the stalemate continued like this, then it would be really over.

"What do you have in mind?" Sun Shenxing looked at Gao Panlong and asked solemnly.

Gao Panlong hesitated for a moment and then spoke directly, "Yang Lian, Zou Yuanbiao, and the others can no longer be protected. Otherwise, it will easily cause trouble. We need to mobilize our own people, and we also need our own people in the core."

Of course Sun Shenxing understood the meaning of Gao Panlong's words, because Gao Panlong said it so clearly.

Giving up Yang Lian and Zou Yuanbiao is the only choice at the moment, and in fact there is no other choice.

Whether it was Gao Panlong or the Minister of Rites Sun Shenxing, they both knew in their hearts who was the one who took action this time.

Once they choose to resist, they will inevitably be besieged by everyone.

Therefore, the most important thing now is how to gain His Majesty's trust.

No one is innocent in this matter.

So Gao Panlong proposed another thing, which was to have his own people in the center.

The so-called center refers to the cabinet.

If it is just the core of the country, the two of them are already at the core now.

Looking at Gao Panlong, Sun Shenxing felt helpless.

Gao Panlong really wasn't as good as Han Yu. From the very beginning, Han Yu had disapproved of this approach. He believed that the necessary actions should be dealt with, and that mistakes should be punished.

It was Gao Panlong who insisted on protecting these people, so things have developed to this point.

At this point, Gao Panlong still had hope in his heart, thinking that he could regain the trust of His Majesty by giving up Yang Lian and others.

I'm just overthinking it. How could such a good thing happen in the world?

Glancing at Gao Panlong, Sun Shenxing didn't say much, but simply asked, "Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Yes." Gao Panlong nodded and said, "Ye Xianggao."

Hearing Gao Panlong mention this name, Sun Shenxing almost laughed.

He was no stranger to Ye Xianggao, a veteran of the Donglin Party with extensive experience and great ability.

The Donglin Party has always wanted him to enter the cabinet as the chief minister.

The question now is, if the Prime Minister and Grand Secretary Liu Yijing refuses to step down, what are you asking Ye Xianggao to do?

Even if Ye Xianggao came, it would be like distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.

By the time he actually came to Beijing and became the chief minister of the cabinet, it was already too late.

Besides, how can Ye Xianggao go up now?

Liu Yijing was willing to give up this position before, but is he still willing to give it up now?

This time the attack was so fierce, he dared to say that it was Liu Yijing, the old fox, who was behind it. If Liu Yijing was not behind the plot, he would resign.

Not to mention Liu Yijing, several of the cabinet's Grand Secretaries probably took action. Even those who didn't, like Han Yu, just stood aside and watched the fun.

Under such circumstances, you, Gao Panlong, still want to recommend Ye Xianggao to sit on the position of Prime Minister of the Cabinet. You are simply dreaming!

In fact, Sun Shenxing felt that he was more suitable, but he could not get everyone's support.

The more crucial point is that he cannot get past His Majesty.

If one really wants to nominate a cabinet minister, one should consider how to get His Majesty's consent rather than choosing the most advantageous candidate.

The best option is to get His Majesty's agreement, which is also the most beneficial to us.

"I think Sun Chengzong is more suitable." Sun Shenxing said.

After saying this, Sun Shenxing stopped talking and gave Gao Panlong some time to react. He believed that Gao Panlong would be able to figure it out.

First of all, Sun Chengzong was in Beijing, so as long as Sun Chengzong entered the cabinet, he would be able to play a role immediately.

Secondly, Sun Chengzong was also a member of the Donglin Party. Although he was not deeply involved, as long as they wanted him to be deeply involved in these things, they would definitely involve him deeply.

As for the issue of Sun Chengzong’s low status in the Donglin Party, it doesn’t matter as long as we give him enough support.

Finally, and most importantly, Sun Chengzong is your Majesty’s teacher.

Putting aside other things, the fact that you can see His Majesty anytime you enter the palace is something that no one else can compare to.

The nomination of Sun Chengzong to join the cabinet will be approved by His Majesty.

From these three perspectives, no one can stay out of it.

Gao Panlong's face looked a little ugly.

He certainly knew the reason why Sun Shenxing brought up this matter. Sun Shenxing and Sun Chengzong had a good relationship, unlike himself. He was a die-hard Donglin Party member, while Sun Shenxing and Sun Chengzong were not as close.

At such a critical moment, Sun Shenxing was actually thinking about seizing power?!

Once Sun Chengzong was recommended, the two of them would definitely gain great power if they joined forces.

The key is that there is also a Han Yu who is watching closely.

But things have come to this point and there is really nothing we can do.
