According to the convention of the Ming Dynasty, the selection of the chief and secondary assistants of the cabinet was determined according to the order of joining the cabinet.

Take Ye Xiangao, the teacher of Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong, as an example. He entered the cabinet in November of the 35th year of Wanli and was the Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion. At that time, in addition to the chief minister Zhu Geng, there were also writers.

Yu Shenxing and Li Tingji, the resignation record holder of the Ming cabinet ministers, passed away soon. In November of the following year, Zhu Geng passed away, and Li Tingji was the chief assistant in order.

Xiang Gao served as the second supporter, but in fact, Li Tingji had already resigned a month ago.

From November 36th year of Wanli to September 40th year of Wanli, the theoretical prime minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet was Li Tingji, but during this period, Li Tingji had been writing resignation to Emperor Wanli, and wrote one before and after

Hundred and Twenty-three letters were not given in one day. Emperor Wanli not only never responded to this, but also did not issue an order to recommend it. In fact, the nominal assistant Ye Xianggao used the first assistant.

During his time, he was also promoted to the Grand Secretary of the Prince Taibao Wenyuan Pavilion.

In September of the 40th year of Wanli, Li Tingji, who could not stand it, simply ran back to his hometown in Fujian without saying hello. Emperor Wanli had no choice but to accept the resignation. From then on, Ye Xianggao

He officially became the chief minister of the cabinet.

In November of the 41st year of Wanli, Ye Xianggao, the young security guard of the prince and the prince's grandpa's minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Wuying's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's

In August, Ye Xianggao submitted 62 resignations before he was approved, so he returned to his hometown.

Ye Xianggao's successors were Fang Congzhe from the Zhejiang Party and Liu Yiren from the Donglin Party. The former was the protagonist of Hongwan Eucommia and the latter was the protagonist of Yigong Eucommia. In October of the first year of Tianqi, Ye Xianggao's second time

Entering the cabinet, the chief assistant Liu Yi-ying and the second assistant Han Yu were demoted, which means that these cabinet ministers left first, and after Ye Xianggao entered the cabinet again, Ye Xianggao served as the chief assistant of the cabinet again.

.

During Ye Xianggao's second term as prime minister, there was one person who had to mention it, that was Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong entered the cabinet in February of the second year of Tianqi and left Zhenshanhaiguan in August. During this period, Sun Chengzong was nominally a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

In fact, it was the Liaodong ruler. However, his position as a cabinet minister was temporarily ended in October of the fifth year of the Tianqi period due to the crushing defeat in Yaozhou. During these three years, he was promoted from the Grand Secretary of the Dongge to Wenyuan one after another.

Grand Secretary of the Pavilion and Grand Secretary of the Zhongji Temple.

At the wartime cabinet preparation meeting, the five people present here were Wen'anzhi, the chief minister of the cabinet, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Guo Zhiqi also entered the cabinet, and the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion in the Later Jin Dynasty, but both of them were out of town and outside.

In the state, Yu Yongli's cabinet was a "post" cabinet minister, just like Sun Chengzong during his tenure as the Liaodong ruler. Although Qian Qianyi was already the Minister of Rites in the first year of Chongzhen, he

Never entered the cabinet. Not to mention Chen Kai and Zhang Huangyan, their positions as Minister of War and Minister of War were also given additional titles. The former's main job was to manage the four provinces of Central and Southern China, while the latter was the Zhang Mingzhen Institute, the Dingxi Hou.

The military supervisor of the department.

Theoretically speaking, the cabinet was established during the war, and Wen Anzhi could refer to Ye Xianggao's old rules as the chief minister. Guo Zhiqi entered the cabinet earlier than the other three and should be the secondary assistant. The three people next entered the cabinet for the first time.

It should be the Grand Secretary of the Dongge. Considering Qian Qianyi's qualifications, Chen Kai, who has a higher position, would lie behind, while Zhang Huangyan was ranked last among these five people. Naturally, the ministers who entered the cabinet later

After being ranked by Zhang Huangyan, it is due to the difference in qualifications of whether to participate in the preparatory meeting.

These are also what Chen Kai had imagined before, but in actual operation, he was more inclined to have Wen Anzhi as the chief assistant and Qian Qianyi as the secondary assistant, because Guo Zhiqi's influence is far from comparable to Qian Qianyi's.

Compared with Wen Anzhi, he is more "old and strong" and more trustworthy than the old man. As for him and Zhang Huangyan, the fourth and fifth brothers, no one can replace him with the other three!

In fact, it is still a war period, and military merits should be more important in terms of evaluation criteria. Chen Kai made the most contributions among these people, and even to put it bluntly, as long as Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong did not enter the cabinet, he would just

In order to rank the meritorious service, no one in the Ming Dynasty could be ahead of him, and the position of chief minister was well deserved.

However, it was just like the same principle when he asked Zheng Chenggong to resign as the prefect of Chaozhou. Although the cabinet during the war was not the Ming Dynasty cabinet in the traditional sense, the cabinet's conventions must be followed. Otherwise, it will inevitably end up in an incorrect name.

The words are not smooth. Chen Kai doesn't care about the chief minister. The second assistant's official position is just a matter of time. With his age advantage, these are just a matter of time. Now, the most important thing is that the cabinet was legitimate in the wartime period, and that no one could choose it.

A little flawed.

[The novel app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, and the source-changing app that old bookworms are using,]

Having said that, when Chen Kai brought the topic to the table, he realized that this matter was actually no longer as expected.

"I think Mu Wengde is highly respected and should be Yuanfu."

"The following officials discuss."

"The following officials agree with each other."

Wen Anzhi took the lead in proposing, and then Guo Zhiqi and Zhang Huangyan agreed without hesitation. Although he was shocked, he had always reacted very quickly. When Zhang Huangyan finished speaking, he smiled and said, "This is also

The idea of ​​the Xiaguan. Mu Weng’s position as chief minister is what everyone wants and cannot refuse.”

After that, Chen Kai stood up and bowed, Wen Anzhi, Guo Zhiqi, and Zhang Huangyan also stood up and bowed to Qian Qianyi. However, at this time, he looked closely and saw that Qian Qianyi's expression suddenly changed, and some people were happy.

, feeling that there is nothing but shock!

"So, the uneasiness I felt when I saw Qian Qianyi the day before yesterday was actually this."

Chen Kai finally figured out why he felt uneasy when he heard that Liu Rushi had been temporarily staying in Jiayu due to the fatigue of boating. That is, Qian Qianyi's spirit was a bit too full. This old man

In addition to the dark history of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, he is also a "official fan" who is eager to enter the cabinet.

In the first year of Chongzhen, when Qian Qianyi first came back, he secretly instructed his disciple Qu Shisi, who was the later one who stayed in Guilin in the Yongli Dynasty to prevent Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru from entering the cabinet. This was also the time when he was repeatedly Wen during the Chongzhen Dynasty.

The reason why Zhou Erren and the forces behind them were framed was that they were forced to be demoted to return home in the tenth year of Chongzhen.

Since then, Qian Qianyi has repeatedly wanted to make a comeback but failed. Until the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng captured Beijing City, and officials in Nanjing began to discuss who would inherit the throne. At first, he generally advocated Lu with other Donglin Party

The king succeeded to the throne, but Hongguang received support from the four towns in Jiangbei and finally ascended the throne. So Qian Qianyi went to curry favor with Ma Shiying and praised him. Finally, he was given the position of Minister of Rites. After Qian Qianyi came to power, he immediately recommended the eunuch.

Ruan Dayue, who was born in the Party, was Ma Shiying's friend. It was considered to be a favorable return, and it can also be understood as a letter of fame, because the Hongguang Dynasty's cabinet still did not have Qian Qianyi.

When the Qing army advanced south, the old man contributed two major dramas: "The water is too cool" and "Itchy scalp". Amid the opposition from friends, he resolutely served in the Qing Dynasty and was appointed as the Right Minister of Rites by our Qing Dynasty.

Later, he was begging for home, was sent to prison, and was in jail. He stayed in the middle of the control and was struggling until the second year of Yongli before he finally returned to his hometown in Changshu.

From then on, Qian Qianyi officially began his latent career in reviving the Ming Dynasty. Before that, he also sponsored the anti-Qing activities of Huang Yuqi, Chen Zilong and others, especially Chen Zilong wrote when he was in office in the Qing Dynasty.

Shi scolded him, and he was imprisoned before, and was also implicated by Huang Yuqian.

It is undeniable that this old man has indeed made a lot of contributions to the Southeast Anti-Qing Movement. However, Chen Kai is deeply involved in the two allusions of "ittingling scalp" and "too cold water". Even though Chen Kai knows that Qian Qianyi is doing his best.

The ability to serve the Anti-Qing War is still inevitable, but there is still a sense of distrust. This is like a wound. Even if it heals, it does not leave any scars, but it still remembers that part in your heart.

The pain of flesh tearing.

Because of this, Chen Kai hopes that Wen Anzhi will be the chief minister of the cabinet and Qian Qianyi will be the secondary assistant as the mascot. After all, the weight of the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty is far greater than that of other cabinet ministers. Wen Anzhi's ability is more important than that of people.

More trustworthy. Moreover, the role of Wen Anzhi, who represents some of the Ming army in the southwest, also helps to balance the anti-Qing forces in the southeast and southwest regions. At the same time, it can not only prevent the resurgence of the Donglin Party, but Wen Anzhi once served as Donglin

The identity of the party outside the party can also be accepted by those former Donglin Party, and will not affect the future layout of the wartime cabinet in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

However, he took it too for granted in this matter. It may be that it has been too smooth recently, which made him ignore many details for a while. For example, Qian Qianyi's huge reputation as the leader of the Donglin Party and the Southeast Wenzong, such as Wen'an Zhihe

Qian Qianyi's old friendship - not to mention the other side, but only the fact that Wen'an was summoned to the cabinet was recommended by Qu Shixi. Even if the two of them did not have much friendship, it would be a matter of repaying their favor at this time.

Besides, Wen Anzhi has never been a person who loves power and ranks, and Qian Qianyi is somewhat obsessed with entering the cabinet. These two people hit it off, and there may not even be even a word to say!

"This is probably not in accordance with the customs."

"Mu Wengxu wants to refuse again. The subordinate officials are willing to follow Yan Zhensheng, Wang Dengshui, and Zhu Youchu's old rules, so they ask for demotion and respect Mu Weng as Yuanfu."

"The lower officials are also willing to follow the examples of the ancestors."

Qian Qianyi's shock was late, but it was late. However, in Chen Kai's eyes, he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart. At this time, Wen Anzhi and Guo Zhiqi had already quoted Yan Qiheng when Wen Anzhi entered the cabinet.

, Wang Huacheng and Zhu Tianlin, the three ministers of the Pavilion requested to demote themselves to respect Wen Anzhi as the chief assistant. Since Wen Anzhi, a fourth-rank Imperial College, can all become the chief assistant, Qian Qianyi is still the Minister of Rites, so what is the case

No?

Forget it, everyone has selfish intentions. As long as you don’t harm the public through personal gain, it’s no big deal: “Mr., national affairs are as urgent as sparks, so I won’t push them around here. As the convener, I am the prince, the prince.

Fu, Minister of War and Left Censor of the Censorate, has been in charge of military affairs in Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi and Huguang provinces, and Chen Kai, Duke of Xiang, proposed that the Wenge Department be appointed as the Wartime Cabinet cabinet.

The official vote was held for the position of Chief Minister." Speaking of this, looking at Qian Qianyi's already red face, he shouted: "I agree!"

"I am the official, the Prince Taibao, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the management of money and grain. Guo Zhiqi agrees!"

"I am the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War and the right deputy chief envoy of the Censorate, and the army of the army under the army of Dingxi Hou, Zhang Huangyan agrees!"

Including the earliest proposed Wen Anzhi, he, Guo Zhiqi and Zhang Huangyan expressed their attitude one after another. At this moment, Qian Qianyi was not allowed to give in, Chen Kai said loudly: "This matter is about Mu Weng himself, and he should be avoided. The cabinet preparations during the war

The meeting was passed with four votes. Mu Weng, it is not a pity for his country, so please do whatever he wants to do."

After saying that, Chen Kai bowed and bowed. Then, the other three people also stood up one after another and bowed to Qian Qianyi. Seeing this, Qian Qianyi, who was already wet in his eyes, quickly stood up and looked deeper to the four people.

A deep gift was returned.

Tanhua was 28 years old, and the first time at the age of 46, and the only time he had hoped to enter the cabinet in the past few decades. At this time, Qian Qianyi, who was already 77 years old, finally got what he wanted.

Time is bound to cry. Even though this wartime cabinet was not a cabinet in the traditional sense, the chief minister was the chief minister, and the rank of the head of civil officials could not be mixed with any moisture.

Anyone here can't understand what the old man thinks, but he is still willing to elect him as the chief minister of the cabinet. Chen Kaisi may have to maintain the unity of the wartime cabinet. After all, if even the wartime cabinet is

If we cannot achieve unity, how can we unite all forces in the Ming Dynasty?

However, at this moment, Chen Kai's idea had just changed a little. Qian Qianyi was almost eighty years old, and the old man's temperament was definitely not able to monopolize power. Even if he wanted to monopolize power, he even wanted to monopolize power.

, this physical fitness is unlikely to be supported. It may not be a bad thing to have Qian Qianyi become the chief minister of the cabinet.

"Of course, I have never reported to Emperor Gao in Xiaoling, and everything in the cabinet during the war cannot be justified. We should not spread this matter for the time being, so as not to damage Mu Weng's reputation. However, for the subsequent meeting, Mu Weng will also be asked to preside over it.

This is the responsibility of the chief minister of the cabinet. You can't say I'm lazy."

"It turned out..." Qian Qianyi took a deep breath, then stood up and bowed to everyone for another week: "Please rest assured, I must do my best."

Preparing the Prime Minister to pay a greeting, the ministers of the Preparatory Pavilion naturally had to get up to return the greeting. Chen Kai couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Qian Qianyi was a little excited, but this etiquette was too much. If the Ming Dynasty could last until the 21st century, it might be possible

Scientists may invent travel gifts to assist exoskeleton armor.

Everyone sat down again, and Qian Qianyi replaced the convener Chen Kai as the meeting chair. He pushed the agenda book to the page of the next issue, and then pushed the glasses: "The next issue we need to discuss is for six
