After Ma Shiying finished speaking, Zhu Yousong said in panic: "Life is based on loyalty and filial piety. Now the late emperor has not revenged his great revenge, which is for disloyalty; his father died tragically and his mother has no news, which is for unfiliality and he will definitely not ascend the throne."

Zhu Yousong said this but no one cared about it, because there was a strange setting in ancient China that you should be humble in everything you do, making you feel unwilling to do. So although Zhu Yousong wanted to sit on the dragon throne with a splash in his heart, he had to refuse on the surface.

Ma Shiying heard the emperor say this and continued: "Your Majesty, the country has no monarch now, so that the talents in the world can be stable!"

Ma Shiying's abacus was very simple, which was to implement Zhu Yousong's throne as soon as possible, and then concentrate the national strength of the country to confront the bandits in the north and the Qing Dynasty.

Ma Shiying thought very well, but he thought too highly of the Donglin Party’s morality. The Donglin Party’s guys probably have no advantages in governing the country, but they are definitely experts in dragging their backs and hitting the scoundrels.

As a veteran of the Donglin Party, Zhang Shenyan was an old minister who had experienced four dynasties. From the 38th year of Wanli to the magistrate of Shouzhang, he has experienced the four dynasties of Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi and Chongzhen. He has a strong prestige among the Donglin Party and the ministers present, and is not comparable to those of the villain like Ma Shiying who is a party with an eunuch.

Zhang Shenyan laughed when he heard Ma Shiying say this, "Your Highness, the old minister heard that the late emperor and the prince escaped. Now he is missing. It's better to wait and say it. It's better to ask King Fu to ascend the throne. If there is no news about the late emperor and the prince in half a year, it will not be too late to ascend the throne to the throne!"

Zhang Shenyan is old and old, so it is natural that he doesn't say this. But he is so angry that Zhu Yousong. What? You have to wait for the prince to come, what should I do if I do?

But Zhang Shenyan did not represent him alone, but the entire Nanzhili officialdom. Zhu Yousong had no choice but to laugh and said, "Yes, Mr. Zhang is right! Now the whereabouts of the Prince and Yong and Ding are still unknown among the thieves. Maybe they can escape. Moreover, King Gui, King Hui and King Rui are all my uncles. You can choose their wise men to establish them."

Zhu Yousong was not very satisfied with the guys of the Donglin Party, so he finally said something angry. If you guys are not optimistic about me, you can go to King Gui and the others. Of course, Zhu Yousong is confident to say this. After all, there are more than 100,000 troops outside. If the guys of the Donglin Party do not agree, they will immediately be advised.

Hearing that Zhu Yousong was about to give up his son Shi Kefa and stood up, he persuaded him to stabilize Zhu Yousong. Zhu Yousong thought about it and seemed impossible to ascend the throne directly, so he had to supervise the country first.

"Since you all think that I should supervise the country first, I promise you that if one of the crown prince and the late emperor and the sons of the late emperor arrive in Nandu, I will definitely abdicate and give way to the wise!"

After hearing Zhu Yousong's words, Ma Shiying had no choice but to agree. Then Ma Shiying and the officials of Nanjing discussed that on the first day of May, they would first go to Xiaoling to worship Emperor Taizu, and then go to the imperial city to supervise the country.

On the first day of the fifth month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, King Fu Zhu Yousong, accompanied by Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa, and Caojiang's admiral, Xu Hongji, crossed the river through Pukou and landed in Yanziji outside Nanjing. The officials and representatives of gentry in Nanjing came to visit.

Zhu Yousong took the civil and military ministers to Xiaoling to worship the tombs of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Prince Yiwen, and then entered Nanjing from Chaoyang Gate. Now Zhu Yousong is not the head of state in the legal sense, so that Zhu Yousong lived in the left-behind residence that night.

On the third day of the fifth month, Zhu Yousong took office as the governor of the state in Nanjing Palace City, and used gold to cast the national treasure. He issued an edict to the world: "I am avoiding chaos in the Yangtze and Huai Rivers and heard the evil deeds. He was so painful that the country was ruined, and his parents were more and more agitated. He was not born in nature, and he would be repaid. However, he was able to measure virtue and ability, and he was not able to wander. He respected you to welcome him, saying that the righteousness must be mastered, and the magic weapon cannot be empty for a long time. Due to the order, he repeatedly advised him to advance, but he refused to be granted. He insisted on public opinion. On the third day of the fifth month of the 17th year of Chongzhen, he was temporarily appointed as the governor of the country. On the third day of the 17th year of Chongzhen, he met his subjects in Nandu. He was competing for a long time, but he thought of sweeping away the evil spirits and clearing the great difficulties. The responsibilities of virtue and coldness were heavy, like falling into the valley abyss, and he was still a helper of the subjects. He was able to reconcile the world. (This is the original text)

After Zhu Yousong ascended the throne, he would be rewarded with meritorious ministers, which is inevitable. After all, Ma Shiying and others have made meritorious contributions, and it is really unreasonable not to give them official positions.

Since Zhu Di moved the capital, the Nanjing Imperial Palace has basically been uninhabited, and only more than 100 people have been retained for daily maintenance. The Fengtian Hall of the three halls has not been repaired since it was burned by the sky fire during the Chenghua period, and the other two halls were also dilapidated, so there is no way for this new dynasty to convene the Wuying Hall, which is relatively intact, for the first time in the new dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty Association had already had the prototype of the cabinet system in later generations. If the emperor was not strong, it would be a decoration. The cabinet chief was the core figure of the court. However, today the court was first established, and there was no prime minister. Zhu Yousong had no choice but to ask: "Sir, now the court was first established. What are the good candidates for this cabinet?"

Those who are qualified to attend the court meeting today are all ministers in the court. A seventh-rank rank minister in his thirties stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Shi Kefa, Zhang Shenyan, and Gao Hongtu to enter the cabinet!"

Shi Kefa was the Minister of War of the Nanjing court. According to the Ming Dynasty system, the Minister of War of War of Nanjing was the leader of all officials in the capital, so Shi Kefa was naturally qualified to enter the cabinet. As for Zhang Shenyan and Gao Hongtu, both of them were big bosses in Donglin, and they were more than enough to enter the cabinet regardless of their status.

However, Zhang Shenyan is already the Minister of Personnel, and this official position is much better than that of the cabinet. Zhang Shenyan did not want to give up this position. He thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, I am old and have insufficient energy to deal with state affairs, so I hope to stay! I recommend Zhan Shifu Jiang Yueguang to enter the cabinet!"

Gao Hongtu also stood up and refused after hearing Zhang Shenyan's words: "Your Majesty, I also want to stay in my post. I recommend Wang Duo, the Minister of Rites of Chongzhen Dynasty, to enter the cabinet!"

Jiang Yueguang and Wang Duo were both new generations of the Donglin Party. They were different from Gao Hongtu and Zhang Shenyan. They had never experienced the dispute over the foundation of the country during the Wanli period, so they had fewer conflicts with Zhu Yousong. Gao Hongtu and Zhang Shenyan's intention was to try to let "right people" occupy the key points and give a new atmosphere at the beginning of the establishment of the court. Jiang Yueguang and Wang Duo were more than enough to enter the cabinet regardless of their qualifications and education. In addition, Shi Kefa, who held real power, was the chief assistant to assist in the government, and the country would definitely be able to recover its vitality in a short period of time.

In fact, no matter whether the Donglin Party or Ma Shiying is, their original intention is good. They all want to end the party struggle early and strive for internal unity and concentrate their efforts against foreign enemies. However, when both sides want to make decisions on their own, differences inevitably arise.

Ma Shiying stood behind Shi Kefa and listened to these Donglin messingsters talking. In a short while, he assigned the position in the cabinet. What about himself? He was just supporting King Fu and made the first contribution, and these guys actually completely eliminated himself.

Zhu Yousong saw Ma Shiying's anxious look. Although the new governor was stupid, he was not stupid. The imperial power and prime minister were born against each other. Zhu Yousong still knew that it was not a good thing that the Donglin Party had divided the cabinet candidates now, which means that as a governor, he would not have any say in the court in the future.

Zhu Yousong looked at Ma Shiying and asked, "Where is Ma Shiying? Ma Shiying has made a decision, why can't he enter the cabinet?"

Ma Shiying was overjoyed when he heard Zhu Yousong mention it. It seemed that the regent still hadn't forgotten him.

However, Ma Shiying was too happy. Although Ma Shiying was great in playing politics, Zhang Shenyan's experience of four dynasties was not comparable to that of Lu Zhenfei when he was in Huai'an.

Zhang Shenyan stood up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Ma Shiying has made a decision this time and should enter the cabinet. I recommend Ma Shiying to serve as the Minister of War!"

Ma Shiying was overjoyed when she heard Zhang Shenyan say this. Unexpectedly, these Donglin Party are not all messing around. Is this old man Zhang still very good?

Ma Shiying was happy, but Zhang Shenyan's next words made him unable to be happy.

"Your Majesty, the bandits have reached Shandong, Henan and other places, less than a hundred miles away from Xuzhou and Huai'an. Ma Shiying has been in Fengyang for many years and is very familiar with the military situation in Jiangbei. For the sake of the country and the country, I believe that Ma Shiying should continue to serve as the Governor of Fengyang, so that the generals in Jiangbei can be controlled!"

After Zhang Shenyan said that, Ma Shiying had long eyes. Unexpectedly, this old man Zhang was so ruthless, and he actually played the game of promotion and demotion in secret. On the surface, he gave himself a position in the cabinet, but he still had to go to Fengyang to supervise the army. Isn't that the same as before? I'm working hard to ascend the throne to King Fu, but unexpectedly he returned to the starting point.

Zhu Yousong was stunned when he heard Zhang Shenyan say this, but Zhu Yousong had no choice. Zhang Shenyan said it reasonably and gave you all the official position Ma Shiying. What other bicycle do you want?

Zhu Yousong hesitated for a while, and saw that no one stood up to defend Ma Shiying, he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I ordered Shi Kefa, the Minister of War, to be the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and the Minister of Rites, to be the Minister of Rites, to be the Minister of Rites, to be the Minister of Rites, to be the Minister of Rites, to be the Minister of Revenue; Ma Shiying was also the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, to be the Minister of War, and to be the Governor of Fengyang. Jiang Yueguang, the Secretary of the Zhanshifu, was the Left Minister of Rites, and Wang Duo, the former Minister of Rites, to be the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, to be the Minister of Revenue. Zhang Shenyan remained as the Minister of Personnel, Gao Hongtu remained as the Minister of Revenue, and Liu Zongzhou was the Left Minister of the Censorate!"

Zhu Yousong is now a state-controller, and he followed the law. Seeing that things were a foregone conclusion, Ma Shiying sighed in his heart that it was really good. Unexpectedly, the Donglin Party and the group of messing around were so despicable, and completely excluded him from the cabinet. At the same time, Ma Shiying also found that the court was all from the Donglin Party, and there was no one willing to follow him. Thinking of this, Ma Shiying made up his mind to cultivate his trusted forces in the court to avoid such things happening in the future.
