If the former chief assistant of the cabinet, Ma Yu, still had little experience and could not suppress some old ministers in the court, then Chen Xun simply had no qualifications.

Chen Xun entered the cabinet in April of the ninth year of Zhengtong. In just four years, the cabinet during the Zhengtong Dynasty was not as strong as the middle and late Ming Dynasty. The position of the chief minister was really unnamed, so it was hard to convince him if he wanted to do something.

So Chen Xun simply gave the blame to Zhu Qiyu, the King of the "Responsible", after all, there was a high top when the sky fell.

When Zhu Qiyu saw Chen Xun kicking the ball to him, he felt the urge to curse.

Just when Zhu Qiyu was a little at a loss, a high-pitched eunuch came from outside the hall: "The Empress Dowager is here!"

The Queen Mother is late?

Hearing this term, the ministers in the palace were stunned for a moment. They had the history of the empress dowager's regent in their minds, and they had to follow the period of the empress dowager Zhang in the seventh year of Zhengtong.

Since the death of Zhang, the Empress Dowager Sun's method, power, and concentration were much different, and she was just an ordinary harem woman. In addition, Emperor Yingzong of Ming had grown up and took power, so naturally she had no chance to interfere in the government affairs. Many officials forgot that there was such a great god in the palace.

"I welcome the Queen Mother, thousands of years old, thousands of years old!"

Seeing the Empress Dowager Sun step into Fengtian Hall with anger on his face, King Zhu Qiyu also quickly saluted and said, "My son is paying homage to the Queen."

Empress Dowager Sun is not the legitimate mother of King Zhu Qiyu, but Zhu Qiyu's biological mother Wu is just a palace maid. She does not pose any threat to Sun. Instead, the nominal mother-son relationship is pretty good.

Facing King Zhu Qiyu, Empress Dowager Sun retreated a little a little angry, nodded to him and said, "Please be calm, all the ministers should get up together."

"Thank you Queen Mother!"

Seeing that everyone in the hall stood up and stood up, the Empress Dowager Sun said to Ruo Hanshuang: "A woman in the Ai family should not be involved in major affairs, but now the emperor personally fights and King Hui lacks experience in governing the country, so he has to come forward and say a few words."

"From ancient times, when has there been a principle of taking action first and then reporting? Let Shen Yichen lead Fujian troops into Beijing. Who would take responsibility if he had the intention of being unjust?"

In the early years, the Empress Dowager Sun had a very bad impression of Shen Yichen because of the incident with King Lu. He even took advantage of the opportunity of the visit of the wife of the Zhengdan Dynasty to secretly click Chen Qingtong.

A seed was planted, and after Shen Yichen and Wang Zhen got into evil, the eunuchs and maids in the palace were all his people. It would be difficult to say something bad in the empress dowager Sun's ear?

So in the portraits of Sun's characters, Shen Yichen is an unscrupulous and arrogant slander. Emperor Zhu Qizhen was blinded, so he became a villain like a slut.

Today, in the harem, when he heard the eunuch report that Shen Yichen had not summoned his army to the capital, the Empress Dowager Sun was even more furious and could no longer care about the tradition of not being able to interfere in politics in the harem, and came directly to Fengtian Palace to discuss matters.

After all, there was a precedent in the Ming Dynasty that the Empress Dowager Zhang had been regent for many years. The civil and military officials had long been accused of the Empress Dowager's interference in politics. As long as it was not too much, they almost let it go, let alone the current situation of being without a leader.

No one assumed the responsibility, so naturally no one dared to speak. Seeing the ministers in the hall silent, the Empress Dowager Sun said coldly: "If Shen Yichen is truly loyal to the emperor and patriotism, then let Fujian soldiers stationed in Dagukou and stand by, and let him go to the tribute alone to meet the palace!"

"I dare not speak nonsense about military and national affairs."

Wang Zhen pretended to refuse, but in fact, his heart might be even more disappointed.

After all, it is easy for the emperor to expand his territory, and it is difficult for eunuchs to achieve success and missed this opportunity to follow the emperor in person. It is probably impossible to accumulate military merits in the future.

"Why did you say this, but it's okay to say it!"

"Then I will just say bravely, withdrawing troops before a battle will really hurt the power of the Long Live Lord. How can I control the ministers in the future?"

Wang Zhen's words simply mean that Zhu Qizhen's heart was intrigued. The reason why he used eunuchs was, in a sense, to fight against the growing power of the civil service group.

The imperial power of the Ming Dynasty was indeed far superior to that of the previous dynasties, and reached its peak during the reign of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

But centralization of power has to pay a price. Zhu Yuanzhang could abolish the prime minister and shoulder the important military and political affairs. Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was very talented and could still follow his father's footsteps. He did not slacke in government affairs. At most, he would create a cabinet system to share his own pressure.

But which dynasty and dynasty can ensure that every emperor is a diligent and wise ruler, and can get up early and work late every day to deal with government affairs?

By the reign of Emperor Renzong of Ming Dynasty and Emperor Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty, the imperial power began to gradually decline. Even the correction of memorials was troublesome, and it was divided into two parts: the rights of the vote and the approval of the dividends, and were granted to the cabinet and the literati supervisor respectively.

Since then, the center of power in the Ming Dynasty has shifted from the emperor to the cabinet.

However, the system that truly plays beyond the emperor's control was the birth of Tingtui!

Think about it, the members of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, the third rank and the nine ministers above, were completely decided by the court officials themselves, and the emperor only had to agree to stamp the seal.

This means that when the emperor cannot arrange his own people at will, the officials below may not listen to the orders issued. This resulted in the situation where the emperor did not leave the Forbidden City in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and no matter how Emperor Chongzhen changed the cabinet chief minister, it would be useless.

Zhu Qizhen is not stupid. On the contrary, he was talented and intelligent since childhood. He was recognized by Emperor Xuanzong of Ming and a large number of ministers, and praised him as a wise ruler in the future.

So he realized that the imperial power was divided and wanted to use the power of eunuchs to check and balance. Unfortunately, Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty Zhu Qizhen chose the wrong partner. Even if the eunuchs had the Nei Shutang blessed the cultural foundation, most of them were still unsupported by A Dou.

Why is it comparable to the literati elites who have emerged from thousands of troops under the imperial examination system?

Relying on eunuchs to take power is undoubtedly a way to quench thirst.

Wang Zhen's favorability made Zhu Qizhen feel very reasonable, so he replied: "I also think that I can't just return to the court like this. At least it will cause severe damage to the Mongolian Wasat tribe and strike the arrogance of the Tartars."

"How about this, how about ordering the Duke Chengguo's troops and Gongshun Hou's troops to take the initiative to find the main force of the Mongolian Wassah troops?"

"Your Majesty, Duke Cheng and Hou Gongshun are all cavalry units. They are mobile and can attack and retreat or defend. As long as they can find the main force of the Wassau tribe and hold it back, when the main force of the Beijing camp is arrived, it will be the day when Yesen, such a traitor, are killed by such a rioter!"

After his thoughts were approved by Wang Zhen, Zhu Qizhen's emotions came up instantly. It was not enough to just pose this move. He had to change the withdrawal route to prepare for attacking the Wastu army.

The original retreat route was to bypass Datong and Xuanfu, and go back to Beijing from Zijing Pass in the rear. But now Zhu Qizhen wants to change to Xuanfu, Huailai area, and return to Beijing from Juyong Pass.

Compared with the Zijing Pass route, the Juyong Pass route has undulating mountain monuments, which is not conducive to the cavalry's charge. Zhu Qizhen fantasized about relying on the mountainous and hilly terrain to offset the best cavalry attack method that Mongolia is good at, thereby defeating the opponent's army in field battles!

In order to cover up the emperor's face in "Ming Shilu", Wang Zhen was afraid that the army would trample on the crops in his hometown of Weizhou. At the same time, he had a mentality of showing off his hometown, which prevented the army from returning from Zijing Pass.

History is often a girl who can be dressed up. As a traitor, he enjoys the supreme glory and wealth brought by the imperial power, and he has to take the blame at a critical moment...
