As soon as Ma Mingyuan said this, it marked the complete division of the Huguang faction. In the past, although there were various disputes within the Huguang faction, it could still be united on the surface. As the nominal leader of the Huguang faction, although most of the words were not listened to, others were still standing with him in protecting the overall interests of the old subordinates of Huguang. Although Feng Ziyong was not good at brains, Tong Yangjia was in opposition everywhere, and his elder brother Ma Jiyuan did not cooperate, it was still relatively harmonious on the surface. But today, with Ma Mingyuan recommending Feng Ziyong as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the undercurrents underground in the Huguang faction were completely open.

Although the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is also at the same level as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister, and as a chief official in the border area, his authority is more important than Feng Ziyong's Ministry of Rites and Education. However, everyone is a local fox. The minister in the hall has not been struggling in the officialdom for decades and knows the twists and turns. The Governor is also a local official when he has power, and the Prime Minister of the Cabinet is also a core of power without power. This is not the same.

Chen Zizhuang sneered in his heart when he saw the Huguang Sect completely breaking up. Although Feng Ziyong was very close to him and had thought about Feng Ruoshu's affection before, Feng Ziyong was a member of the Huguang Sect in no time, and he was still from the Huguang Sect in his bones. Today, he was forced to the brink of life and death by the Huguang Sect, so he didn't care about any friendship. Let's talk about saving his life!

Feng Ziyong was stunned. He didn't expect his cousin to kill him. Feng Ziyong didn't know that this was Ma Mingyuan who had saved face. This was because Ma Mingyuan had not killed him because of his friendship since childhood. Otherwise, using Ma Mingyuan's methods, he could completely make Feng Ziyong get out completely, and he would also want to serve as the local governor.

Zhu Hongsan was very happy to see the division of Huguang faction. Huguang faction was his foundation, and everything came from the support of Huguang faction, but this was based on the faction that Huguang faction could not threaten his throne. What Ma Mingyuan didn't know was that the division of Huguang faction today hit Zhu Hongsan's thoughts. If Huguang faction was united, Zhu Hongsan would have to eliminate Huguang faction by himself. At that time, it would not be the end of Feng Ziyong's safe marriage.

"Mr. Ma said very well. Mr. Feng's success as the prefect of Guangzhou is obvious to all, so Mr. Feng should not refuse. My base camp requires Mr. Feng to come and take care of him!"

Feng Ziyong saw that things were in a foregone conclusion, and Chen Zizhuang sat there like an old monk entering into a meditation, not talking about himself at all. Tong Yangjia was not in the mood to deal with him, and if he didn't come up and step on him, he would be right. Fu Wenlong was alone and could not help him. It seemed that he could only accept reality.

Feng Ziyong stood up in a daze and bowed his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and asked, "There is a lack of cabinet now. Let's see what candidates are there!"

It was still Ma Mingyuan, stood up and continued, "Your Majesty, I have a candidate. I recommend Wang Yunchang, the Minister of Finance, to enter the cabinet!"

Wang Yunchang, who was standing next to the next, just heard his backer Feng Ziyong fall, and thought he was finished. Unexpectedly, Ma Mingyuan recommended him to enter the cabinet, and his mood was as big as a roller coaster.

In fact, Ma Mingyuan thought so. There were not many people who were qualified to enter the cabinet in his bag. Chen Zilong is now just a governor, and he was 108,000 miles away from entering the cabinet. It would be better to recommend Wang Yunchang. Although Wang Yunchang was Feng Ziyeng, he was cautious, and with his own finances, Wang Yunchang had a good relationship with him. In addition, Wang Yunchang was a prefect in Chongzhen for the fifteenth year. All his qualifications and abilities were expected to be enough to enter the cabinet. It just so happened that Feng Ziyeng was losing power, so why didn’t he take Wang Yunchang for himself?

Seeing that the cabinet was vacant, Chen Zizhuang quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Zhang Bingwen, the Minister of Justice, to enter the cabinet!"

Zhang Bingwen was similar to Wang Yunchang. He was the prefect during the Chongzhen period and was promoted to the Guangdong Censorate during Hongguang. He had enough qualifications. Chen Zizhuang recommended him because Zhang Bingwen was an official in Guangdong for more than ten years and had a close relationship with Guangdong gentry, so he was considered his own.

Zhu Hongsan looked at Chen Zizhuang and Ma Mingyuan. They were not the ideal candidates in Zhu Hongsan's mind. The power of the Huguang faction is already big enough, so it can add a cabinet minister. The Guangdong faction is similar, and he will lead his troops north. If nothing unexpected happens, Nanjing should be able to defeat him. At that time, the influence of the Guangdong faction will be much worse than before. Leave two positions in the cabinet, and it cannot increase the strength of the Guangdong faction. However, the Donglin Party is different. Nanzhili is the territory of the Donglin Party. If these shit-making kids are not given power, these guys still don't know what troubles they have. If they want to gain a foothold in Nanzhili, they also need the help of the Donglin Party and the other cannons.

Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan no longer hesitated and said, "I have already chosen this person. I ordered the governor of Huguang, Jiang Yueguang, to enter the cabinet, Yu Yinggui, the former governor of Huguang, and also the governor of Hunan. Liu Silai, the governor of Jiangxi, serves as the governor of Jiangxi. I am here!"

During the Chongzhen period, Yu Yinggui replaced Hong Chengchou as the governor of Shaanxi and led troops to fight wars. He was also considered a person who knew about military affairs. As for Jiang Yueguang's entry into the cabinet, there was no problem. Jiang Yueguang was a minister in the early years of Chongzhen, and he was a grandson in the Hongguang period. This time he entered the cabinet.

Qian Qianyi didn't expect that he could be the big winner today. He didn't expect that the Donglin Party could win a quota in the cabinet just now. Now he was overjoyed when he heard the emperor say this, so he quickly stood up to support the emperor's decision.

What the emperor said was an imperial edict, not to mention that the other two people were not only in terms of qualifications and expectations, Jiang Yueguang, and Chen Zizhuang and Ma Mingyuan had no choice but to bow and accept the order.

So far, all seven members of the cabinet have been finalized. According to the rankings, Chen Zizhuang, Ma Mingyuan, Tong Yangjia, Liu Dalin, Fu Wenlong, Qian Qianyi, Jiang Yueguang, Guangdong faction accounted for two, Huguang faction accounted for three, and Donglin Party occupied two. The Donglin Party took advantage of the Guangdong faction and Huguang faction to compete for two places, and became a major force in the cabinet that was equal to the Guangdong faction.

After the cake was divided, some people were happy and some were worried. Zhu Hongsan had to decide the candidate to accompany him to the war. Ma Mingyuan just said that Tong Yangjia was familiar with military affairs and could accompany the emperor to the war. Zhu Hongsan knew very well what Ma Mingyuan was thinking. He was afraid that Tong Yangjia would stay in Guangzhou to disrupt the situation. After all, the King of Chu was in charge of the country, and Tong Yangjia had to do something if he stayed and did it. Zhu Hongsan also wanted to take Tong Yangjia to the war. Old Tong was vicious and could give him advice.

Zhu Hongsan lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "The battle in person is important, but Guangdong is also very important. I decided that Mr. Tong and Mr. Qian will follow me to fight. Because Mr. Jiang is far away, he will go to Nanjing to meet me after opening the Yangtze River. Guangdong will entrust several gentlemen here!"

The four cabinet members led by Chen Zizhuang quickly stood up and said that they would devote themselves to the emperor and wish the emperor a victory in advance and return to the old capital!

The court meeting lasted for a whole morning, and it was noon after everything was over. The ministers came home from get off work with all their emotions.

Qian Qianyi left the palace gate and saw his two men holding a sedan chair at the door. He couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. When he came in the morning, he was only a fifth-grade military aircraft, and he could only wear a green robe and sit in a sedan chair. Unexpectedly, he had become a first-grade official in the morning, and his sedan chair should have been replaced with a silver-top soap-colored sedan chair carried by four people.

The Qian Mansion housekeeper who was waiting at the door saw his master coming out and rushed forward to greet him, "Master, I'm late today!"

Qian Qianyi sighed and said, "Yes, we'll go home late today!"

After Qian Qianyi finished speaking, he was about to get into the sedan chair and turned around and said to the butler: "Didn't you say you were waiting in front of the palace gate to be bullied? No more, I will change to the sedan chair for four people in the future!"

The housekeeper was overjoyed when he heard this. Qian Qianyi was a traitor, but he was not the old subordinate of Huguang, and was not popular in the officialdom. He was also very angry when he was involved in the housekeeper of Qian's mansion. When he was waiting for Qian Qianyi at the gate of the palace, he was squeezed far away by the housekeeper of other houses. The manager was not in a shelter, and there was no pergola to hide the sun, and he was sweating profusely every day. The housekeeper also mentioned to Qian Qianyi that the Qian family was not good enough, and these ministers were too unfair to use the Qian family as a person.

Qian Qianyi had no choice but to do anything about him. He had a very irritating relationship with his daughter Qian Yuting. In his hometown in Changshu, his daughter was complained about marrying Liu Rushi. Later, because Qian Yuting was snatched away by Zhu Hongsan, Qian Qianyi publicly severed his relationship with his daughter in order to preserve his official position. So when he arrived in Guangzhou, Qian Qianyi had no shame to see his daughter. He begged Zhu Hongsan a small yard and lived a life away from his family and Liu Rushi.

Today, Qian Qianyi finally fulfilled his dream and entered the cabinet. When he was in the sedan chair, he remembered the complaints from the butler and himself on weekdays.

"Qiangui, didn't you say you would wait for me to have no sunshade every day? You can go to the pergola to rest after taking my post! I'll also change to the first-class four-person sedan chair tomorrow!"

The awning is a row of sunshades built for all the adults and sedan chairmen outside the palace. This was not built by Zhu Hongsan, but by the local local officials in Guangzhou who flattered the cabinet masters and built them for the family members of the cabinet. There are seats in the awning to supply tea. Zhu Hongsan didn't say anything after knowing it, but only stipulated that only a few cabinet masters' families were allowed to rest, and others did not have this treatment.
