Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 129

After Zhu Yousong returned to the Wuying Hall after retiring from the imperial court, Li Guofu, the eunuch with the handprint of the Yumajian, came over with a hunched face and a puzzled face: "My lord, the poor literati in the south of the Yangtze River actually created reports to discuss the government affairs and challenged the lord, too. Damn it, but order the factory guards to go deep into the south of the Yangtze River to search the newspaper office, arrest all the daring rebels and punish them."

Of course Zhu Yousong didn't listen to these eunuchs, and shook his head with a smile, "There's no need for that, I want to treat him in the same way, don't they like to play word games, so let the students from all over the world accompany you." They're having fun."

Li Guofu suddenly realized, his chubby face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, "These newspapers must be the Donglin party members to stir up people's hearts and attack the emperor in the form of newspapers, and the emperor asked all the people in the world to respond in a scientific way Donglin Party, clever, the emperor is really clever, let them pinch it, dog bites dog."

Zhu Yousong rolled his eyes at him, "How can you say that? Opening a course to obtain a scholar is a major plan for the country to select and employ people. I can still discuss my strengths and weaknesses, but I have to specialize in it, and the theory is well-founded. The world's juzi theory should be more transparent, more comprehensive, and more convincing than those of those tabloid newspapers, so am I the one who will take revenge?"

"Your servant is guilty, and the emperor's heart is magnanimous. The ancient times show the present. You can see that slaver's mouth is talking nonsense again..." Li Guofu knew that he had slipped his mouth, so he quickly gave himself a half-spoken mouth, Zhu Yousong Laugh without saying a word.

"My lord, Mr. Gao Ge and others are too arrogant. They dare to openly disobey the lord in the court, and that Qian Qianyi is even more outrageous. Isn't it normal for the lord to promote several officials in Beijing? They It's gone too far. The emperor is too kind to them..."

Zhu Yousong smiled but did not answer. The eunuchs, the Donglin Party, and these antique old men in the court could not listen to everything they said, nor could they not listen. Of course Zhu Yousong had his own criteria for judging. People who come here have the height of intellectuals, or the height of a wise man.

Emphasizing civility and despising military affairs was the consistent style of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and this trend became even worse in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It became a social inertia for civil officials to suppress military generals. It can only be a luxury to sit on an equal footing with civil officials, discuss government affairs, and discuss state affairs.Therefore, it is not surprising that many officials in the court have military titles as civil servants.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the hard-won result was that, on the one hand, the civil officials controlled the government and the opposition, quarreling with each other, and party struggles continued; , Not to mention one of the root causes of not daring to open field battles with the Qing Tartars' iron cavalry.

Now Zhu Yousong is trying to change this situation, transferring the three princes of Jiangyin to serve in the Beijing camp, and opening the martial arts department to recruit scholars. This is only the first step, and of course there is resistance.However, compared with the Chongzhen era, the situation is much better.

It may be hard for people to imagine that in the feudal era more than 300 years ago, if the decision made by the emperor was unreasonable, the cabinet would stare blankly.Chongzhen is not a cowardly king. He is notoriously violent and difficult to serve. However, as an emperor of a country, he has too many helpless times. For example, if he cannot win the Tartars, he is willing to make an alliance under the city, cede land and pay compensation. It's not that he hasn't thought about it, and it's not that he hasn't put it into practice. However, the rising wild boars in the pass are hard to fill. What they want is the lives of the royal family of the Zhu family.

This can be supported by historical facts.In history, how much threat did Emperor Yongli have to the Qing Tartars when he went to Burma?After being caught, he was still sentenced to death. Many years later, the Qing Dynasty was firmly established. After Kangxi succeeded to the throne, even the youngest children who were involved in the royal family of the Zhu family were not spared. Without the heart of rebellion, cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, and never cause future troubles!

Alas, people who are not of our race must have different minds. This kind of thinking is deeply rooted. The Qing Tartars are so cruel to the descendants of the Han royal family!

However, the most helpless thing for Emperor Chongzhen was the lack of money, food, and major generals. In the end, he even took the lead in raising donations as an emperor. This is not only the emperor's embarrassment, but also the emperor's sorrow and helplessness.In the end, facing internal and external troubles, civil and military officials all obeyed and violated, and he was exhausted physically and mentally. He had no choice but to kneel to the ancestor's spiritual throne and weep bitterly. He killed his family and beheaded him, and then ended his imperial career with a rope.

The current Zhu Yousong is completely different from Emperor Chongzhen. After three months of struggle, at least he has the capital to check and balance the cabinet. In the past three months, he has made drastic moves, cleaned the factory guards, eradicated the horse party, cut down the feudal clan by force, and shocked the government and the public. The image of a kung fu emperor was born out of nowhere, which made the cabinet and Donglin faction officials realize that the imperial power is still supreme, saying that inconsistency is still a royal patent, and there is a price to be paid for being good at rebelling against the dragon scale, so they all restrained themselves a lot in front of the imperial power .

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Yousong dared to discuss the matter of Yan Yingyuan and others serving in the Beijing camp in the court. If it were replaced by Chongzhen, it is estimated that the cabinet ministers and Donglin officials would have left the emperor on the spot.

Unconventional promotion of the three princes of Jiangyin to the Beijing camp, since Zhu Yousong opened the golden mouth in the main hall, the cabinet, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of officials, the Privy Council, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, etc. naturally dare not neglect, but they do not think that the emperor's move is a meritocracy. The officials of the three county towns have to be ranked after the seventh-rank sesame products according to their grades. What can they do to make the emperor value them so much?Who is this to entrust His Majesty to open the golden mouth?

Of course, these virtuous and honest officials have to get to the bottom of it, and the Donglin party members headed by Qian Qianyi will not let it go. In their eyes, it is not okay for the emperor to open the back door and abuse his power. Senior officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Privy Council began to thoroughly investigate the resume files and social network of Jiangyin Sangong.

However, when they searched the household registration books of Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun up to the [-]th generation of their ancestors, they did not find any honorable relatives and dignitaries. They also checked all the people they came into contact with. , not to mention having any ties with the emperor's relatives, some brainstorming, and even began to search for the young woman and eldest daughter of the three princes, even the maids and servants, but they did not find a good girl who was outstanding and might be selected by the emperor. Talented woman.

This investigation unexpectedly found that Sangong's outstanding achievements in office, and that there was no violation of laws and regulations. After inspecting the officials, civilians and merchants who came into contact with him, the results were exactly in line with what Zhu Yousong said. Extraordinary performance, official reputation is very solid, and the approval rate of public opinion is extremely high.

In the end, they had to shake their heads and sigh, and they had to believe that the emperor's reuse of the three classics of Jiangyin County was indeed a meritocracy. Fayan, such a good and evil minister can't hide it from the emperor, this is the real discernment!

For a while, those corrupt officials felt chills down their backs, consciously or unconsciously began to restrain themselves, those honest officials became more and more honest, and Zhu Yousong's letting others do nothing also caused a butterfly effect.

Soon the Ministry of War drew up job vacancies, and suggested that the three canon historians from Jiangyin should serve in the Beijing Camp, and reported to the Privy Council, which brought the writing to the cabinet.The cabinet vote was to be passed unanimously, and the writing was transferred from the Secretary of General Administration to the Supervisor of Ceremony, and it will come into effect after the red seal is approved.

When the angel official held the imperial decree and went to the desk of Jiangyin Sangong to read the decree, Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun were completely unaware of the situation. A minor history official who is not well-known is going to take an important position in the Beijing Army?At that time, Sangong was almost stunned by the big pie falling from the sky.

The admiral of the tens of thousands of Beijing soldiers, the chief of the Beijing soldiers, and the leader of the Beijing soldiers, how big are these officials!
When they learned that this was true, it was the emperor's golden words that let the three of them fly into the sky at one step. The three princes were flattered and grateful. They burned incense and worshiped, and immediately went to Beijing to take up their posts after receiving the order.
