When Wen Tiren arrived at the Ganqing Palace, several people had already come outside the hall.

In addition to Yang Sichang and Li Banghua who had talked a few times after the morning court, there were Sun Chuanting, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji who came from the Xishan Camp. In addition, there was a middle-aged man in flying fish suit. I think it was Han Shanhe, the new commander of the Jinyiwei mentioned in the morning court.

When Wang Chengen saw that everyone was coming, he asked Emperor Chongzhen for instructions and summoned everyone to the East Warm Pavilion of the Ganqing Palace.

The charcoal stove was burning in the warm cabinet. When everyone saw Chongzhen, they saluted one after another. Chongzhen waved his hands and signaled that they all sat down and spoke.

Wen Tiren and Yang Sichang looked at each other and were surprised. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty usually chose to summon ministers on the rooftop, and only when summoning people close to each other would choose the Ganqing Palace.

After all, the Ganqing Palace was the emperor's bedroom, and most of the people who were summoned were honored.

But this time it was not only in the Ganqing Palace, but also in the Donghunting Pavilion. What is the Donghunting Pavilion? To put it bluntly, it is the place where the emperor sleeps. It is a very private and safe place with the highest standards.

Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang, and Sun Chuanting are fine. After all, they are civil servants and have good cultivation. The big boss Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji have never seen this scene. They usually fight and kill, and stay with the big soldiers every day. Even the emperor has never seen them several times. They are so embarrassed that they look like ugly daughters-in-law meeting their parents-in-law.

There is a long carved rosewood table in the warm pavilion. There is a large chair covered with brocade yellow circumference on one end of the long table, and four square chairs are placed on both sides. It is obvious that this layout is also the temporary intention of Chongzhen.

"I summon you to come because I want to discuss specific countermeasures based on the current situation of the court. Let's sit down." After Chongzhen said that, he sat on the big chair on his head.

During the Ming Dynasty, even when we were discussing affairs in the Qing Palace, the emperor was basically sitting on the dragon chaise, and then the ministers sat on the chairs on both sides of the hall. There was basically no saying that the monarch and ministers sat together around a table.

In fact, Chongzhen didn't think so much at all. First, he sat like a meeting, and second, it was too cold outside. It was awkward to sit on the dragon throne during the morning court. He really didn't want to be as formal as the meeting.

However, Chongzhen's behavior really warmed the hearts of Wen Tiren and other ministers, which means that His Majesty has regarded them as his confidants.

Wen Tiren has the highest official position and sits on the left hand of Chongzhen, while the other people sit on their own according to their identities, except for the seat on Chongzhen’s right hand.

"Yang Aiqing, come here to sit down." Chongzhen frowned and pointed to the seat on his right hand and said.

Yang Sichang was shocked. His current official position is the Left Deputy Censor of the Inspectorate, and the third rank. Although it is not low in terms of official position, it is not the same magnitude as the Crown Prince and the Chief Secretary of the Cabinet Wen Tiren, so he did not dare to be entrusted.

"Thank you Your Majesty." Yang Sichang sat nervously on Chongzhen's right hand after thanking him.

"Wang Dabaner, please sit here and listen. I will have some errands to you later." Seeing Wang Chengen standing at the door of the hall to serve, Chongzhen frowned and said.

He had already arranged more than 200 Han generals around the Ganqing Palace, all of whom were selected by Wang Chengen one by one. He frowned because Wang Chengen, a man with a strong sense of master and servant.

"Yes, I obey the order." Wang Chengen was grateful and walked behind Chongzhen in small steps and stopped moving.

Wang Chengen has been by Chongzhen's side in recent days. He found that Chongzhen has really changed. In the past few days, not only has he not blamed him for all kinds of miscellaneous matters in the palace, but he often cares about his well-being.

Today he was promoted to the eunuch in charge of the seal of the 12 prisons of the Fourth Department and the Eighth Bureau, and also appointed the admiral of the Dongjishi Factory. What a great trust this is, even Wang Chengen felt that even if he died for His Majesty in his life, it would be worth it.

"I asked you to do it. Isn't there still a chair there? Hurry up, there are still important things to talk about." Chongzhen urged.

He did not think that the eunuchs were so humble, and he did not think that Wang Chengen was inferior to other court officials in his personality. In fact, when the capital city was broken ten years later, officials from Donglin were writing letters to Li Zicheng to persuade him to enter, but the eunuchs in the Forbidden City were still fighting with the rebel army.

They are all good brothers who have been slapped together. This guy is basically immersed in feudal ideas. Chongzhen himself has no confidence in being able to train this guy.

"This..." Wang Chengen was really in a dilemma, but after being glared at by Chongzhen, he chose to sit next to Han Shanhe, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

The eunuch was originally looked down upon by civil and military ministers. This concept was deeply rooted. He hesitated at the beginning because of this, and he clearly saw inadvertent disgust in the eyes of Yang Sichang and others.

"Okay, everyone is here. Wen Aiqing will talk about the situation of becoming an official today." Chongzhen said first. He finally felt like he was having a meeting in the future, but this time he was a big boss, with his workers on both sides of his hands.

"Report to Your Majesty, according to statistics, today there are 184 officials, including the Cabinet, the vast majority of officials of the Six Ministry, as well as some officials of the Kedao, the Five Temples, the Inspectorate, and the Hanlin Academy.

In the future, local officials such as the provincial governing and envoys may resign. Please let Your Majesty know." Wen Tiren said in a deep voice.

The situation was indeed as Wen Tiren expected. Except for the cabinet and the old people from Donglin in the six ministries, most of the intermediate officials in other yamen did not choose to resign.

"Why are there such a few people? I remember the situation in the morning court, at least there must be hundreds of people?" Chongzhen frowned and felt that he had heard it wrong.

There are about one or two thousand officials in Beijing. Although officials of low rank are not qualified to join the Huangji Hall station, there are at least three or four hundred people in the morning court every time. Although there is no place in the Huangji Hall, the Huangji Gate outside the Huangji Hall is full of ranks every morning court.

As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, it was Wen Tiren and others' turn to frown.

What do you mean? Is Your Majesty really trying to dismiss all court officials?

"Your Majesty, maybe these court officials have other ideas." Wen Tiren had no choice but to answer.

Hearing this, Chongzhen didn't know what was going on. Isn't it just a greedy official position? I couldn't help but look down on these Donglin Party members even more. They screamed so loudly in the morning, but the law of true fragrance came in the afternoon.

"No matter what they are, I will give you specific arrangements." Chongzhen put down his contempt for the Donglin Party members and said seriously.

Yang Sichang and others sat upright after hearing this, because they all knew that their generation was coming.

"Wang Cheng'en was preparing to draft an order to summon the three border governor Hong Chengchou to Beijing and be promoted to the Minister of War, the Prince's Grand Tutor, and the Grand Secretary of the Dongge.

Yang Sichang was promoted to the Left Censor of the Inspectorate and the Grand Secretary of Jianji Palace.

Chen Qiyu was summoned to Beijing to be promoted to Minister of Revenue, Prince Taishi, and Grand Secretary of Wenhua Palace.

Li Banghua was promoted to the Minister of Personnel, and the vacancies of fifth ranks were filled within ten days. The chief officials of the other six ministries were elected by Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang and Li Banghua, and the ministers of each ministries were elected by the chief officials of each ministries.

Lu Xiangsheng led Tianxiong's army to Beijing, and served as the Left Minister of the Ministry of War, and was sent to another dispatch.

The Beijing Admiral Sun Chuanting was transferred to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and used the position of governor to control the two provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi. A new army was formed for the Qin army, with a quota of 50,000 troops, and he took office three days later.

The Shi Zhuxuanwei envoy Qin Liangyu was promoted to the left governor of the Central Army Governor's Office, the governor of the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, and the Baigang army was expanded to 50,000.

The general Cao Wenzhao was transferred to Huguang, the general He Renlong was stationed in Henan, and Zhou Yuji was promoted to the general and the general was also the admiral of the Beijing camp.

The four Tengxiang Guards were reorganized into Yongwei Battalion. Huang Degong also served as the admiral of Yongwei Battalion with the rank of general, with a 12,000 troops. He entered the inner city of the capital to garrison."

Chongzhen's series of appointments did not give the few people present time to think. Wang Chengen became the clerk and wrote quickly with a brush in his hand.

No matter how shocking these appointments were, he would unswervingly carry out the orders of Chongzhen without any discounts.

In the end, Wen Tiren, who was an old and semen, reacted first and asked in a low voice:

"Your Majesty, isn't this a bit too hasty?"
