On the second day of November of the tenth year of Wanli, Chen Yujiao impeached the left servant of the Ministry of Rites Lang, Chen Siyu, through the Jinyi's order to help the magistrate Xu Jue, and colluded with Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Silis.

If he dared to do this one month ago, it would be to pluck the hair from the tiger's mouth. But now it would be just to kill the tiger. Chen Siyu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was also a trusted minister arranged by Zhang Juzheng when he was awake. He was impeached and the decree of the palace came down very quickly.

In the second half of the tenth year of Wanli, I don’t know how many ministers retired and returned home, and Chen Siyu also became one of these people.

In the inner court, Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, has also been called sick in the closed door. Everyone knows what this means to call sick, and there is no condolence in the palace.

In November, everyone understood that the current situation was no longer a political struggle. Instead, Zhang Siwei was dealing with the tragedy. In the past, Zhang Siwei followed Zhang Juzheng and was timid, but he didn't expect that after he came to power, he actually had such thunderous means. Everyone was alert, but everyone knew who should follow and flatter him next.

In front of the mansion of the cabinet assistant Zhang Siwei, the house was still neglected in October, and by November, it was already very lively. Since the time of Wanli ascending the throne, everyone in the world has seen that the cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng has unparalleled power, and even developed a consciousness in their hearts that the world is ruled by the auxiliary.

Zhang Siwei has such a decisive and skill, and it seems that there is no problem to become the second Zhang Juzheng. It is not too late to curry favor with him now.

On November 16th, the Sichuan Dao Censor Bei Jixian submitted a memorial, asking for rehabilitation of Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Zaixian, Ai Mu, Shen Sixiao, and Yuan Biao. The palace issued an order to submit an order to restore the posts.

That is, two months ago, Guo Weixian, who was also a censor, submitted a memorial, but was demoted to Jiangshan County Cheng. Now, if there is another memorial, it will allow these five Qingliu officials who have been defeated by the siege.

In just two months, the situation had changed drastically. Just after the decree of these five officials to restore their posts, Zhang Siwei submitted a memorial to thoroughly investigate the case of Liang Menglong, the Minister of Personnel, and the decree in the palace to restore his post and then retire. Although Liang Menglong was still at home to support his old age, this decree allowed Liang Menglong to remove the charges of greed and debauchery. More importantly, Zhang Siwei, who was impeached at the same time as Liang Menglong, also used this to remove the charges.

On November 20, Zhang Siwei promoted Zhang Mengnan, the young minister of Taipu Temple in Nanjing to the Minister of Taipu Temple in Nanjing. Most of them were idle officials in Nanjing. This Taipu Temple was even more idle officials among idle officials. In addition, the rank was not high, and it was a ruling from the Ministry of Personnel, and it only needed to report it to the palace.

The promotion of a idle job is meaningful but not trivial. Xu Guangguo, who was wandering around the capital, immediately wrote a letter to Tianjin Wei. Not only him, but the news spread quickly throughout the world and all directions.

Who is Zhang Mengnan? Gao Gong is his uncle, Gao Gong is the assistant of the Longqing Dynasty, and Gao Gong was brought down from the assistant position by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao. Because of this relationship, Zhang Mengnan has been kept in the position of Shaoqing of the Taipu Temple in Nanjing for six years.

Zhang Siwei's action undoubtedly announced to the world that he and Zhang Juzheng were not the same party. This action also gave Gao Gong officials who had been defamed by Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao for many years, telling them that the day of turning the tables was coming.

There was originally a misunderstanding that the political struggle between Zhang Siwei and Wang Zhuan and others was just a fight for the position of leader of the Zhang Juzheng Party, but now the situation is finally extremely clear.

Everyone finally recalled that Zhang Siwei entered the center because of Gao Gong's promotion. It was Gao Gong who promoted Zhang Siwei to become the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel. This was the beginning of his career.

Whether Gao Gong's party is actually not important. This action is to sue everyone. Zhang Siwei is Zhang Siwei, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Juzheng's party.

Feng Youning, the commander of the East Factory, was resigned from his post, and Xu Jue, the commander of the Jinyiwei, resigned from his post. Feng Bao's confidants in the factory outside the palace were all arrested and seized his post. Xu Jue was directly imprisoned and questioned, while Feng Youning stayed at home in fear.

On the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Sun Wei, the chief of the Military Affairs Office, impeached the Zuo Deputy Chief Censor of the Associate Council, Lao Kan, who was also one of Zhang Juzheng's confidants. Now it can only be said to be a final victory.

As soon as Sun Wei's memorial was submitted, Lao Kan took the initiative to submit a memorial to resign, asking for retirement and return home, and the palace issued an order to approve it.

The next action was not to completely kill all the people. Chen Jingbang, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was promoted to the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Chen Jingbang, like Wang Zhuan and others, was a confidant arranged by Zhang Juzheng before his death. Zhang Si made extraordinary efforts to defend his rights, so naturally it was impossible to kill all the people blindly, and he would also recruit a few people.

Seventeen days after Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhang Siwei once arranged a idle position in Nanjing. Yang Wei, the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, was still the Minister of Revenue. At this time, the position of Minister of Works was vacant. Yang Wei was transferred back to the capital to make up for the vacancy. He also transferred Yan Qing, the Minister of Justice, to the Minister of Personnel, Pan Jixun was appointed as the Minister of Justice, Zhang Xueyan, the former Minister of Revenue, was transferred to the Minister of War. Wang Lin, the Minister of Works of Nanjing, who also held a idle position in Nanjing, was the Minister of War. The Six Ministry of Nanjing, the Minister of War, was the Minister of War. This was also the position of real power. Zhang Jiayin was promoted to the Censor of the Ancient Capital and was still the Left Minister of War. This position was in charge of the garrison in the Beijing camp.

Li Zhi, a favorite student of Zhang Juzheng, was promoted to the Zhili Inspector. Although the Inspector was also the Censor of the Censorate, he was not responsible to the Censor of the Censorate, but was only responsible to the Emperor. If he inspected the Emperor on behalf of the Emperor, he would be in line with the Governor. Although his rank was low, he had great power. The military preparatory areas in the capital were almost in the hands of Zhang Siwei.

At this time, it was just the 17th day of the twelfth lunar month in the tenth year of Wanli. Zhang Siwei was accomplished. His confidants and friends were stationed in key positions in the capital. He was the only one in the capital. Originally, Zhang Juzheng's party had defected or left the capital, but it had already been destroyed. The 18th day of the twelfth lunar month. The internal supervision yamen in the Forbidden City had begun to prepare for the New Year, but the atmosphere was not as warm as before. Everyone was trembling and dared not say more.

Eunuch Feng, who seemed to be like the sky in the palace, suddenly lost his power, and the outside of the palace was also in a state of chaos. Everyone should be careful. No one knows what else will be born in the future and whether they will be implicated.

Everyone knows that in the palace, the Sili Supervisor always reports to Zhang Cheng whenever he is concerned about the matter. Although Emperor Wansui still goes to the Cining Palace to greet him every morning and evening, Empress Dowager Cisheng has been ill for more than ten days, and Emperor Wansui can only return helplessly if he cannot see the Empress Dowager.

If this action was in the past, everyone in the palace knew that the Empress Dowager was not happy with Emperor Longsheng. Emperor Longsheng would ask someone to ask for a meeting. Now that he doesn't see him, he will not see him. Emperor Longsheng went as he did and then came back according to his duties. It would be the same as the update, which seemed to be very different from before.

Today, Si Tian Yi, the head of the Silijianwenwen study room, went to the imperial study room and knelt. It is said that Tian Zhang Si took the initiative to kneel down on the imperial study room. Tian Yi was Eunuch Feng's confidant in the palace. What did he do there? Everyone was confused, but no one was foolish inquiring and discussing.

In the imperial study, Emperor Wanli sat upright on the chair, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Jing stood on the left and right. The silk and silk were spread out on the table, and the pen and ink were prepared. Emperor Wanli was very hesitant and picked up the pen several times and put it down again.

Hearing the door, Zhao Jinliang opened the door and came in, turned around and closed it again, but a trace of cold air still blew in, and everyone subconsciously moved. After Zhao Jinliang came in, he lowered his head and reported:

"Long live, Tian Yi still refused to leave. He said that Long live will not see him. Please remember that Feng Bao has served him for many years. Seeing Feng Bao, Emperor Wanli had just picked up his pen and heard Zhao Jinliang's report, he put down again and said:

"It's cold and cold, are you willing to freeze yourself to death? It's so good. Is it useful when I see you? Xiao Liang arranged the guards, put the people back, and found the imperial physician to see you.

Zhao Jinliang quickly lowered his head and agreed, and then went out to make arrangements again. Hearing another cry outside, it was Tian Yi who struggled to cry, and his voice gradually faded away. Emperor Wanli shook his head in emotion and said:

"Feng Bao was in this palace, and he kowtowed many times. If something happened, he really came to ask for it. This person did not forget his roots. In the past, he always heard that if Tian Yi was not a job in the palace, he would be a talent for entering the cabinet when he went out. I don't know anything else, but his mind is not bad!"

Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng, who were standing behind him, looked at each other. Tian Yi was praised like this, but it was a blessing in disguise. He was probably a big deal in the future. Emperor Wanli looked at the decorations on the wooden frame and was a little distracted and said:

"I remember when Lian was a child, when it was a cold weather like this, Feng Daban would wear cotton clothes, wear a leather hat, and then go to see the plum blossoms and build snowmen together. Lian was the happiest at this time. It was not possible in normal times. Mr. Zhang left after giving a lecture. However, when he made a mistake in writing and reading, Feng Daban would be stern, and Lian would hurt the sail..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Wanli shook his head and smiled, and said:

"Now, Lian is still a little scared when he meets Feng Daban... Otherwise... Lian will meet Mr. Long Live, this... This is absolutely not allowed. If he meets him, what would he think if the people outside know... The Empress Dowager no longer sees Feng Bao, and now everything is up to Mr. Long Live. If he meets him, if there is a recurrence, does Mr. Long Live still want to go back to what he used to be?"

Hearing Emperor Wanli's words to himself, Zhang Cheng hurriedly spoke. At this time, he didn't care about any rudeness and explained the interests directly. Emperor Wanli shook his head, picked up his pen in silence, put it down again, and spoke:

"Zhang Fan, come and write it, just write about Feng Baoniangao. I couldn't bear to work hard and sent it to Nanjing to live and give it a reward of 1,000 taels of silver."

Zhang Cheng quickly picked up the pen and started copying it. Emperor Wanli's face became a little cold and said:
Chapter completed!
