64 candidates for the first assistant
However, Zhang Mingwei came.
He can get the most objective evaluation of this figure in the late Ming Dynasty from the conclusion of the coffin, and know who is actually a loyal minister and a good general, and who is actually a man and a prostitute. In this way, targeted selection and punishment, as long as the means are correct, there is still the possibility of saving the Ming Dynasty!
If you want to say that history covers up the truth, has anyone been misinterpreted? There will definitely be, but, anyway, on the whole, the Ming Dynasty at this time can only be rescued by people who have crossed over.
However, if the travelers are not familiar with the history of the late Ming Dynasty, they were sold by the old oilers in the officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty, and it is estimated that they are still counting the money for others and do not know. Therefore, it is also necessary to be familiar with this period of history at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
And Zhang Mingwei happened to meet this condition, so his crossing also fell in front of Emperor Chongzhen, maybe it was the meaning of heaven.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen's hand was still clenched tightly, and he said to Zhang Mingwei eagerly: "Please also ask Mr. for advice!" ”
"Your Majesty, it's best to investigate and verify the matter of the restoration of the society secretly!" Zhang Mingwei immediately replied, "I think the blue sky bao I took in should be a talented person." I'll be watching again these days. If I can, after I take over as Jinyiwei, I will arrange for him to work in Jinyiwei and be responsible for investigating the matter of the resumption of the society. If there is really a problem, he is a victim of the Fushe's control of the imperial examination, and letting him charge into battle is the best knife to crack the Fushe! ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "The matter of Jinyiwei, Mr. can just look at it." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed and said, "I think back then, in fact, Wen Qing also reminded me about the restoration of the Jiangnan Society. It's just a pity that I didn't listen to him in the first place! ”
As soon as Zhang Mingwei heard it, he knew that Emperor Chongzhen was referring to Wen Tiren.
When Wen Tiren was the first assistant, he spent most of his energy fighting against the Fushe, and even his younger brother Wen Yuren was involved.
At that time, Wen Yuren and Wu Bing and others jointly created "The Legend of Green Peony", in the words of later generations, it is to praise the happy love based on talent, satirize the deception of fake celebrities, expose the shortcomings of the scientific examination, and more truly reflect the spiritual outlook of all kinds of intellectuals in the late Ming Dynasty.
Because of this, even though Wen Tiren was already the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty at that time, Wen Yuren was still imprisoned by the local government for an excuse. It can be seen that the Restoration Society was actually very powerful at that time.
Wen Tiren finally lost his official position and left his post, which was also the result of not being able to fight for the resumption of the society. was impeached by the Restoration Society and the eunuchs, and after many times, Emperor Chongzhen finally lost his trust in Wen Tiren. As a result, Wen Tiren, who had been the first assistant in the Chongzhen Dynasty for the longest time, left the officialdom gloomily, and there was no chance of recovery.
After Emperor Chongzhen sighed and missed Wen Tiren, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "This Zhou Yanru, I will not spare him!" ”
Speaking of this, he immediately asked Zhang Mingwei: "Sir, do you have a candidate for the first assistant?" ”
He already didn't believe in his own ability, and if he went to Tingtui or something, it would be the second Zhou Yanru to come out. There are ready-made candidates to ask, so naturally ask.
In the original history, after Zhou Yanru re-ascended the throne of Shoufu, he didn't know if there was a problem with his brain, so he actually played to Emperor Chongzhen, saying that he would abolish the factory guard again. As a result, he and Luo Yangxing had a good relationship, but they all turned against each other, and were finally brought down by Luo Yang's complaint.
However, at this time, because of Zhang Mingwei's appearance, he was destined to be out of the game ahead of schedule.
After listening to Emperor Chongzhen's question, Zhang Mingwei thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Your Majesty, as the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, you should have a clear vision of the situation and be far-sighted. Judging from the subsequent history, there is indeed such a person who should be able to meet this condition. Even if he was excluded, Nanming finally persevered for so many years, which should be his credit. ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, please speak!" ”
"This person has been suffering from the death of his parents since he was a child, and he has worked hard to be strong under the fence, and he was admitted to the Jinshi in Chongzhen's ten-year examination." Zhang Mingwei immediately introduced, "If the historical data is good, he should be the prefect of Changsha now, leading the troops to quell the surrounding bandits, has a certain ability to know the soldiers, and understands the people's suffering......"
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, and then asked a little surprised: "But plug Yinxi?" ”
Although this person is in the local area, he still has a reputation, and Emperor Chongzhen has an impression. In the next year, that is, the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Wuhan and Huangzhou will be promoted to prepare for the road.
Zhang Mingwei listened, nodded and said, "Your Majesty should still remember that the thieves finally joined forces with Nanming to resist Jianyu together. And throughout the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the backbone of the resistance to Jianyu has always been the army of thieves. If there was no army of thieves, Nanming would have died early! ”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, and his face became a little heavy again. He already knew through the documentary that the Nanming army, in fact, his army in the south was all very unbearable, and the infighting was active, and he was defeated against Shang Jian, and he almost had no record of taking a shot. The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is really rotten!
In addition, as far as Emperor Chongzhen himself is concerned, he actually knows that the reason why thieves are thieves is that the imperial court has an unshirkable responsibility, including himself.
It is precisely because of this that even if Zhang Xianzhong and a group of thieves dug up the ancestral grave of Fengyang, Emperor Chongzhen finally agreed to Zhao'an. When he issued several edicts, he also said that the people's livelihood was difficult, which led to the people being in dire straits.
is also the same, when Zhang Mingwei said that Lan Tianbao and Liu Jin and others were forced, Emperor Chongzhen was not surprised at all.
"At that time, Jianyu Iron Cavalry went south, and the thieves had about 300,000 troops, and they also had to fight with Nanming." Zhang Mingwei continued to elaborate, "It was this plug Yinxi who really rode into the thief camp alone, and persuaded the 300,000 thief army to become the Ming army and reorganize it into the loyalty camp. In the end, this Ming army also lived up to the word loyalty, and fought with Jianlu to the last man! ”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded again when he heard this, compared to those scholars who were full of benevolence and morality, in the end, he either surrendered in front of Jianyu, but still surrendered, of course he appreciated this kind of loyal man more.
Also, the city of Beijing was broken, the Ming Dynasty perished, he knew from the film and television that he finally said "the king is not the king of the country, the ministers are the ministers of the country", combined with his current feelings, to be honest, if he can act willfully, he really wants to kill these courtiers.
After Li Zicheng entered the Beijing Division, the matter of recovering stolen goods and helping salaries was of course mentioned in the documentary. When Emperor Chongzhen looked at this, he felt very relieved. Seriously, in the matter of the demise of the Ming Dynasty, he certainly hated Li Zicheng, but if it was comparatively speaking, he hated the rebellion of these courtiers even more.
After all, Li Zicheng was forced to rebel, but these traitors under him were the king's eaters, and then sucked him blood and stabbed him!
Therefore, after Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen immediately made a decision and said: "Okay, I will immediately send a decree to let him enter Beijing immediately, and I will talk to him in person!" ”
Zhang Mingwei understands that this is probably an interview, as long as the interview is passed, it will be the new first assistant! Good luck with him!
Thinking so, Zhang Mingwei was worried about the refugees outside the city, and he didn't want to delay, and even thought about the plague in a few days before mentioning it.
This time, Emperor Chongzhen did not stop him. So, Zhang Mingwei set off in a majestic manner under the support of Wang Chengen and the large group of Dongchang soldiers.
On Chang'an Avenue, as soon as the Dongchang people of the brigade appeared, they immediately frightened the pedestrians to dodge.
Zhang Mingwei was a little surprised, as if there were more passers-by, and suddenly saw the situation at the door of his house, and he was stunned.
