Emperor Chongzhen's triumphant return to the imperial court did not seem to cause much trouble in the capital, but the trouble hidden in the dark continued to ferment.

Yuan Chonghuan was sent to prison to be dealt with. He did not convene a morning court, and there was not even any news about the court. He did not go to the Wenhua Palace to handle politics, but was handling politics on a military plane...

One after another, in the eyes of civil servants, things that were strange and illegal made cabinet ministers like Han Xu and Li Biao unable to stand it any longer.

From the moment Emperor Chongzhen returned to Beijing from his personal expedition, the title of auxiliary minister they had previously awarded was automatically stripped of its halo.

"Yuanfu, what do you mean by His Majesty?"

On the way to the military aircraft office, Li Biao frowned and whispered: "The morning court has not been convened until now. There are so many ministers in the court, and His Majesty has not responded at all to the memorials submitted to the General Affairs Department.

This Military Aircraft Department was originally set up temporarily when the Jianlu invaded our Ming Dynasty. Now that the Jianlu have been repulsed by His Majesty himself, why doesn’t Your Majesty go to the Wenhua Palace to handle the affairs instead of staying in the Military Aircraft to handle the affairs? None of this

It’s in line with etiquette.”

Han Xu walked forward slowly, frowning and saying: "I don't know yet. It's hard to guess the holy will now. I'm afraid that the anger towards Yuan Chonghuan in His Majesty's heart cannot be dissipated.

If it had not been for this Jianlu invasion, my Ming Dynasty would not be like this, and your Majesty would not be like this. All current signs indicate that your Majesty has great doubts about the cabinet and the various ministries."

Putting aside the military aircraft department specially established by Emperor Chongzhen and the nine admirals, the current power framework system of the Ming Dynasty is actually very complete and can be regarded as an operating system under the feudal system.

The cabinet votes, the ceremonial supervisor approves, the six ministries of the court, the monasteries, the bureaus and other government agencies perform their duties, plus the local administrative agencies, which rely on the civil servants to control this huge territory, no matter what happens

Problems can also be solved effectively.

This all depends on there being no Little Ice Age.

But the current Ming Dynasty happened to be in this period. Frequent disasters further aggravated class conflicts, the collapse of the tax system, serious land annexation, serious official corruption, the collapse of law and order, etc., if Emperor Chongzhen

Even the great power in the court cannot be grasped. There is no imperial party, factory guards, etc. that extend the imperial power to assist the Ming Dynasty in controlling the top and bottom. How to solve the problem at the root?

The battle between imperial power and ministerial power never stops.

While Han Xu and Li Biao were chatting with each other, they came to the military aircraft department. Looking at the busy people, they felt sad in their hearts.

Once upon a time, the emperor conducted political affairs in the Wenhua Palace, but now he stayed in this specially designed military aircraft. This was unacceptable to them.

"Your Majesty, the first assistant of the cabinet, Han Xu, and the second assistant, Li Biao, would like to see you."

Pang Tianshou walked into the official room and said to Emperor Chongzhen who was busy at his desk: "They said they have something important to report to Emperor Ming."

After all, I couldn't stand it any longer.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen raised his head, put down the ink pen in his hand, and said: "Invite them to come in, and ask Wang Qia and them to handle these other memorials."

Han Xu and Li Biao probably came here to persuade themselves. On the one hand, they had something to do with Yuan Chonghuan, and on the other hand, they had to go to the early court and return to Wenhua Hall to manage politics.

However, their political demands were in vain. Before the situation stabilized, there was no need to ask the Sanfa Division to interfere with Yuan Chonghuan's matter. This was an absolute initiative, so how could he give it up?

As for not holding court in the morning, it can only be held three times a month at most. No matter how much the officials and censors of Kedao persuade them, it should be impossible to change it.

There are many ways to deal with government affairs. There is no need to waste a lot of time on formal morning court affairs. Today's Ming Dynasty has no extra time for him to waste.

"My lord, Han Xu, pays homage to Your Majesty."

"My lord, Li Biao, pays homage to His Majesty."

Under the salutes of Han Xu and Li Biao, Emperor Chongzhen came back from his thoughts, looked at the two people who were maintaining their posture, and said: "You two, please forgive me."

"..."

Han Xu and Li Biao followed the sound, but Emperor Chongzhen did not speak, which made the two of them suffer internally. Compared with the previous emperor, the emperor at this time had a cold attitude, which made them feel even more stressed.

Han Xu and others also knew in their hearts that the huge difference in attitudes between the emperor and the emperor was due to the influence of Jianlu's invasion of the Ming Dynasty.

But with the current situation in the government, they must do something. If they continue to be so passive in everything, then their position as the first and second assistant in the cabinet may not be stable.

Han Xu stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, after your triumphant return to the court, will you summon all the civil and military officials to hold a court in the Huangji Hall to demonstrate the majesty of our Ming Dynasty?"

"What Han Qing said, I have thought about it."

Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip, and said: "I will convene the imperial dynasty, but it is not the time yet. I will issue an edict when it is clear when the merit evaluation and reward awards will be made clear."

Regarding Han Xu's detour without revealing his true purpose, Emperor Chongzhen also considered matters as they were. The dynasty was indeed about to begin, but the evaluation of merit and rewards was not clear, and many things could not be carried out. If this is the case, then

It would be better to postpone it and open it later.

"Your Majesty, since you have your own thoughts, you can come to court early..." Li Biao followed and walked forward, bowing his hands to Emperor Chongzhen.

Different from the early dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the early dynasty of the Ming Dynasty was held every day. Not all Ming emperors could be as powerful as Emperor Taizu Gao. It was this kind of heavy errand, and as time went by,

The early dynasty gradually became a mere formality, which is why Emperor Chongzhen's grandfather, Emperor Wanli, did not come to court.

"Let's talk about it in the morning. I'm busy dealing with important military matters and don't have any extra time. I will deal with this matter in the coming days." Emperor Chongzhen put down the tea cup in his hand and said.

If you want to argue with the Ming Dynasty civil servants about this matter, you should not be too aggressive. You must first give a reasonable reason and gradually deal with it coldly.

Otherwise, I would receive exhortations from courtiers every day, even if I didn’t read them, just hearing about them would be annoying. It would be better to hold meetings three times a month and slowly form a habit.

In fact, if we really talk about it, going to court early is not only annoying for the emperor, but also for the ministers in the court. After all, getting up too early is also a kind of torture for the older court officials.

But, due to etiquette, these words can only be complained in the heart, and certainly cannot be said with the mouth. Faced with Emperor Chongzhen's reply, Han Xu and Li Biao also knew in their hearts what the emperor meant, but they also

They didn't mention this matter much. After all, their real purpose here was Yuan Chonghuan.
