Chapter Eighty-Three: Turmoil in the Court
Coming out of the civil official queue is obviously Ling Yiqu, he is a famous minister in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and what he is best at is to be outspoken, and it is also because of this that during the Chongzhen period, he was demoted countless times.
And it is also such a character that makes him rise and fall in the officialdom, and there is no place for growth until now, but Chongzhen doesn't hate him, he just thinks that this person is too sharp.
But this is also a good thing, Chongzhen may not be used to hearing too many bad words before, but Chongzhen at this moment is a modern person who is proficient in the history of 5,000 years.
"You mean this, Ling Aiqing, I also want to talk to you about this matter recently, in fact, this Tianxianglou also has a lot of dealings with me, so I wanted to talk to you about this matter later."
Emperor Chongzhen was not in a hurry to explain, Tianxianglou was obviously a major matter related to the country, so it was also necessary to keep it secret, and it was the same, he touched his clothes, and then, I don't know where to start with this matter.
And Ling Yiqu, who was down at this point, was not a nerd, when he heard what His Majesty said, he also understood the deep meaning, and immediately bent down, and then continued to say to Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty, it's the old minister who is stupid and doesn't know that this matter is actually out of the Holy One, so it is a dereliction of duty to offend Long En."
"Hey, it's okay, I also wanted to discuss this matter with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military before, but at this moment, it is obvious that there are still envoys from Dashun, so as the saying goes, family ugliness should not be publicized, right, since it is our own court's business, then we have to wait for people to leave."
After Emperor Chongzhen said this, the people at the head of the court also looked at each other, and then, there was also a little premonition in his heart, obviously, when this storm came, there would be some quiet atmosphere after all.
And that's the case, everyone began to speculate, what kind of artistic conception is contained in the words that Emperor Chongzhen said at the end, does it already show that he wants to reshuffle the court?
It is also the same, after this retreat, everyone also got together and began to talk about this matter, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, obviously, the political party was synonymous with them.
From the Donglin Party, to the later Eunuch Party, and then to the later Donglin Party, it is obvious that every change in the court is actually initiated by His Majesty.
"You say, what did Your Majesty mean by the last words? On the first floor of this Tianxiang, if it really comes from His Majesty's handwriting, then what is the purpose of his recruitment of soldiers and ministers? ”
"Come to think of it, it should be to abolish the Donglin party."
Although Emperor Chongzhen eradicated the Donglin parties in the capital before, the imperial examination system for many years has become a dark bond for this group of officials.
It is also for this reason that when the Donglin Party was mentioned, a few cold sweats appeared on everyone's foreheads, especially those Jinshi officials who had been invigilated by the Donglin Party when they had taken the exam, and they were even more frightened.
"Abolish the Donglin Party or not, in fact, everyone has seen it before, the party system and these things obviously exist because of Your Majesty, and now, Your Majesty obviously knows that the existence of the Donglin Party is not good, so there will be such an idea."
In history, Chongzhen reigned for 17 years, and it can be said that this politics is full of traces of partisan strife, that Mao Wenlong, that Yuan Chonghuan, in fact, said that they died unjustly, and they were not unjust.
It is also the case, the people who survived this court can see it more clearly than anyone else, they all know the contradictions that exist in this party, back then, Chongzhen was because he had no way, so he attached himself to this Donglin party.
It also gave the Donglin Party the glory of the time, but now, Emperor Chongzhen is not what it used to be, and he is developing in the direction of the first emperor through the ages.
"Also, or your lords are enlightened, in fact, according to the contemptible opinion, in fact, Your Majesty will not kill us, just give us a hint, if you say that if you enter, you will attach to the imperial power, become a famous minister through the ages, and if you retreat, you will return to the countryside, and there is no shortage of being an idle and good person."
"Advance and retreat, sweat, officialdom advance and retreat, how can it be so easy, forget it, anyway, this life should be able to be saved, after that, I will see what His Majesty wants, if he wants to abolish the party system, then I will listen to it."
Since the abolition of the prime minister system in the Ming Dynasty, the centralization of power has obviously become more and more intense, so that when it reaches the Qing Dynasty, it will become more and more feudal blockade.
At that time, the eunuch party was on the throne of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and this Wei Zhongxian, at its peak, said that it was above ten million people under one person, but it could not hinder his tendency to perish, to put it bluntly, no matter who it was, everyone was an ant attached to the imperial power, and only that emperor really represented everything.
Compared with the turmoil above the court, Na Laiyi returned to his residence alone.
It can be said that he doesn't care what the Ming court's development becomes, what he cares about is just a small group of people in this room.
And it is Niu Jinxing who prepared a few dead soldiers after reading the secret order given to him by Laiyi, and this group of people is also very skilled, but looking at the appearance, which one of them is the kind of powerful and strong person.
"Did Your Majesty ask you to come?"
"Yes."
"So do you know about this mission?"
"Yes, assassinate Chen Gong."
"Very good, it seems that all of them are people who understand, but remember, this thing can only succeed and not fail!"
After such a drama in the court, Lai Yi also felt that this time was becoming more and more important, so to speak, he saw through the turmoil of the Ming political situation.
This Chen Palace, for the Chongzhen Emperor, is undoubtedly a stone thrown into the water, this stone, the effect is obviously huge, it is he who gave Chongzhen a courage, let him start to rectify the court, if he loses him, think about it, it is also a heavy blow to the Ming Dynasty.
Soldiers, siege is the best strategy.
"Yes, the subordinates will go all out and live up to expectations!"
"Well, you go down, I think, after that, you have to be incognito in the capital, these days, don't make trouble, and don't have any relationship with Dashun, after you, I want to come to Your Majesty has promised you a lot, but rest assured, in the future, your wife and family, we will be properly preserved!"
