Chapter 1 June of the Fifteenth Year of Chongzhen

Wang Siming looked at the roof of the palace with a blank look, and he traveled through time! And he was very unlucky to travel to the late Ming Dynasty. The most deadly thing was in June of the 15th year of Chongzhen. What was even more deadly than this was that his soul actually penetrated into Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian.

When encountering such a deadly three-company, Wang Siming just wanted to go back to death and ask his own son why he had to give himself such a huge pit name? If it weren't for this name, how could he have traveled through time to become like this ghost!

"The emperor, Zhou Shoufu and Chen Cifu got on the note and asked if your condition had improved, and whether the candidates for joining the cabinet will be determined through court recommendations today?" The person who said this was Wang Chengen, the legendary eunuch of the Ming Dynasty.

"My companion, I am still a little unhappy, so I won't go to the main hall to manage the government! Let the two auxiliary stations come to the bedroom with the list recommended by the ministers and court, and I will check the candidates."

At this time, Wang Siming didn't want to see anyone at all. After all, he had just traveled through time for a few days and was not very skilled in many business. It was easy to show off when seeing strangers, but things didn't wait for others. People who should meet had to see them!

Not long ago, the Ming Dynasty's official army was defeated again, killing many important officials and generals. Zhu Youjian quarreled with the ministers for a few days after the news reached the capital and was fainted from anger. After waking up, his body changed his master. This defeat was the defeat of Zhu Xianzhen, a very famous later generations, but Wang Siming had very shallow historical knowledge and did not know much about the details of this defeat.

When the front line was defeated, there was a political storm in the court, and many people in the cabinet were implicated. The cabinet ministers who were originally going to be re-invested were not available for repair because the emperor was so angry that they did not have time to make up for it. Now the Ming Dynasty cabinet is basically in a state of suspension. Therefore, it cannot be delayed. If it is delayed, the Ming Dynasty may die faster.

After waiting for a long time, Wang Chengen came to Zhu Youjian's bedroom with the two remaining pillars in the cabinet. After the two came in to celebrate the ceremony, the eunuch consciously brought a small chair and let them sit under the head of the emperor's bed.

I looked at the two pillars with my eyes. The fake Zhu Youjian was desperate! The former master of his body was really a divine pit! The current Ming Dynasty was really at the point where no one was available. Look at the current central cabinet, who are there left? Zhou Yanru and Chen Yan, do they have the strength to be cabinet ministers? None! But besides these two goods, can the entire Ming Dynasty find out who can move into the cabinet? No!

The entire generation of elites of the Ming Dynasty were all cheated by the former owner of his body. The trick was so clean. Not to mention the talent like Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou, even if there was Wen Tiren left, Yang Sichang would do it! As a result, he didn't leave any of them, and the current successor Wang Siming could only use people like Zhou Yanru as a pillar.

"My emperor's dragon body is safe! I am incompetent, which has caused the national affairs to disturb Your Majesty. I am waiting for thousands of deaths!" After Zhou Yanru sat down, he began to talk nonsense. This man could not do anything, only one thing, a good word! Although these words may not be sincere, they still sound like that, at least not angering.

Everyone is so polite. The fake Zhu Youjian, who is sitting on the dragon collapse, has to reply even more politely. "Young Master, don't blame yourself. National affairs are not your fault! Forget it, let's not talk about these defeats. Tell me about the candidates you recommended to be included in the cabinet. Show me the list."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yanru immediately took out the list of people who had already prepared from his sleeve, and handed it to the eunuch next to him, asking him to pass it to the emperor on Long Po.

After taking the list, I looked carefully. The fake Zhu Youjian did not find a famous person who was impressive in later generations. There were three people on the list, namely Wu Da, Jiang Dejing, and Huang Jingfang. How good are these three? The new Emperor Chongzhen at this time naturally didn't know anything. However, one thing is certain, these three people should be similar to the two pillars in front of him. They are probably all weak guys who are not good at it.

In fact, if people are not useful, you can clearly see the resume. On the note handed over by Zhou Yanru, he wrote roughly the resumes of these three people. Jiang Dejing and Huang Jingfang are both from departments like Zhan Shi Mansion and Hanlin Academy that only knows how to be an official article. People who come from such departments, unless they are geniuses once in a decade, can't expect them to do anything serious! Only Wu Yan looks okay, because the resume says that he has been the governor of Shanxi. Let's talk about the quality of the level. At least they have been the top leader, and they are the ones who have taken power in senior leadership positions. Unlike the other two, who have never even been a county magistrate, they actually have to be one of the leaders at the highest decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty system is also weird enough.

"Shaoshi, there is no problem with the list you and Chen Cifu drafted, so just follow this! After you go back, you will draft a formal imperial decree. I will let the Seal Supervisor use the seal! Big companion, please inform Wang Zhangzhang when you finish. After Zhu criticizes him, please use the seal immediately, so don't delay! Now the cabinet in the court is empty and the state affairs are so decayed, so you must pay attention to it."

"The emperor, I have saved me, and I will tell you about the eunuch in a while." Not all eunuchs can be called eunuchs, and few people can be called eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty Palace. At this time, Wang Dehua, the chief seal of the Silijian, was the real eunuch.

"Trial Master, Second Assistant, since the main matter has been negotiated, please come back if you two! There are probably a lot of things waiting for you to deal with in the cabinet. It is better to hurry up and get it."

After saying that, he waved to the eunuchs beside him to see him off without waiting for the response.

After walking out of the emperor's bedroom, Zhou Yanru and Chen Yan looked at each other, with a very surprised expression in their eyes. Why is this master so weird today? Although there is nothing wrong with what he said, it is not his style! He is impatient, talks a lot, is prone to excitement, likes to intervene in everything, and loves to direct blindly. This is the emperor they are familiar with. Why did the emperor who met today suddenly change his mind? He neither asked about the current court in an eager way nor made trouble to the cabinet list, and he could not mess with the people at once.

Zhou Yanru and Chen Yan are not useless either. At least they are top experts in dealing with the emperor. They are not masters and will not stand out in the hands of the strange emperor, Emperor Chongzhen! But today's situation has left their talents without a chance to show their talents. This is indeed quite regrettable. The whole bunch of lies prepared in his mind before the Saint was vain!

Faced with the emperor's abnormal behavior, the two tacitly stopped talking, but hurriedly returned to the cabinet and dealt with the most important things in their hands before talking about it. However, they all had an idea in their hearts. After work, they should quickly find a familiar internal official to find out what the emperor was thinking. This way, if they were not sure about the situation, it would not be a good thing for the ministers!

Zhou and Chen both rely on bribery to find out the insider information. The situation they were most unaccustomed to was the current situation! They didn’t know what the emperor was thinking? They didn’t know which direction to start making up lies. How could this work?
