Chapter 165: The Son of Heaven Guards the Country, and the King Dies

Zhu Qizhen looked at Cao Nai, who was wearing a thin white undershirt.

Even the white of the clothes here is not the normal white, but a slightly yellowish white, which has been worn for a long time at a glance.

Zhu Qizhen also knew that Cao Nai's conduct was still trustworthy.

Although Gui is the first assistant, although he is not as extreme as Yang Pu, he also leads by example, without any gray income, and lives on Yulu.

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand. Immediately, a Han general dragged Cao Nai down.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Wang Zhi, Gao Gu, as a cabinet scholar, he can't support the government, but he is removed from the post of a scholar from Cao Nai's family. Since Zhou Chen took office in the household department, he has made outstanding contributions, which are obvious to all in the world. ”

"Zhou Chen took over as the first assistant."

This sentence is spoken.

The Manchu civil and military forces were in turmoil for a while.

Today's events are beyond many people's expectations.

Many of them certainly know that there is a big drama going on today. But I never expected that this big drama would be so big.

You must know that since Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager has relied on the cabinet, and the cabinet has gradually become the center of power of the Ming Dynasty. Over the past 10 days, every time the cabinet has been selected for a first-class matter.

Never before did they expel three people at once, and almost half of the cabinet was replaced.

For many people, this is no longer a drama, it is related to their own vital interests.

In the Ming Cabinet, almost everyone has a group of people behind them, even if they are like transparent people. Every change in the cabinet will cause the following major changes.

It's as if as soon as Yang Rong died, Wang Ji's good military department Shangshu became the governor of Yungui.

The three of them stepped down together, and there will certainly be a number of changes among the six ministries and hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Cao Nai and others have certainly had, but now is the time to employ people, please open up your Majesty." Liu Qiu strode forward and played.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Mr. didn't say that before. ”

Liu Qiu said: "The minister thinks that even if His Majesty does not keep Cao Nai and others, Zhou Chen is short of parallelism and is not enough to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet. Zhou Chen was appointed governor of Jiangnan, handed over hundreds of officials, and bribed Wang Zhen, his body was not right, how could he be in the world? ”

Zhou Chen listened, and a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.

If Zhou Chen knew that he had the future he had now, he would never have left a handle at the beginning. But at the beginning, in order to rectify the money and grain in Jiangnan and deter the local clans, he also intended to publicize his relationship with Wang Zhen.

At the beginning, Wang Zhen could make children stop crying.

With Wang Zhen as a backer in the palace and the support of Sanyang outside the palace, he completed the sorting out of the grain tax in Jiangnan, so that the grain tax in Jiangnan is no longer in arrears and is as much as millions of stones.

And that's because of what he did

The matter was appreciated by Zhu Qizhen. That's why we have today.

This is also very contradictory.

If you didn't do such a thing at the beginning, you wouldn't be able to do it, and if you couldn't do it, you wouldn't be able to get into the position, and if you couldn't get to the top, there would be no today. But today, it is likely that because of the events of that year, he will pass by the position of the first assistant of the cabinet.

For a while, Zhou Chen didn't know who to hate.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Liu Qing, can you witness physical evidence? ”

Liu Qiu said: "There is no such matter, but Your Majesty Xu Chen will investigate thoroughly, but within three or five days, it will be known." ”

Zhou Chen's buttocks were not wiped clean back then. Before, no one was just staring at it, but now that he is the first assistant of the cabinet, what he has done since he joined the office, I am afraid that it will be smoothed out from beginning to end.

If Liu Qiu wants to check, he must be able to find it.

Zhu Qizhen said: "No need, I only asked Liu Qing one sentence, why didn't I say it at that time?" ”

Liu Qiu didn't know what to say for a while.

The inside story of Wang Zhen's case is complicated and the struggle is dangerous, who dares to intervene easily, and everyone inside and outside the palace wants to settle this matter down as soon as possible.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen did not conduct a thorough investigation in the palace, and the incident was involved. Outside the palace, Yang Pu punished officials, and never dealt with the crime of bribing Wang Zhen.

At that time, how could Liu Qiu have extraneous branches. In addition, Liu Qiu, as a minister of state, still has some overall views, although Zhou Chen has some flaws in his actions. But in doing things, he is a first-class good hand and a cadre.

There are not many such ministers in the world.

When the imperial court is employing people, it naturally can't find faults.

However, when the head of the household is a scholar, a cabinet scholar, he is different from the cabinet chief.

Starting from Yang Shiqi, the head of the cabinet is not only the head of the Ming civil officials, but also the leader of the Ming Shilin. As a leader of Shilin, in terms of personal morality, you must be able to convince others.

Yang Shiqi has profound qualifications, is comprehensive in all aspects of politics, and does not leak, even if there is a rebel, but he can also convince people. And Yang Pu is honest and capable, there is no sand in his eyes, although he is not a perfect person morally, but he is almost there. Although Cao Nai is much worse than the first two.

But Cao Nai has the legacy of Yang Shiqi and Yang Pu, and he knows the feelings of the people. There is also a champion halo added to him, and Shilin also takes a look at it.

And Zhou Chen is different.

What he did in Jiangnan, the local people were naturally grateful, called Zhou Qingtian, and couldn't wait to build an ancestral hall for Zhou Chen. What do the people say, Zhou Gong is in power, he doesn't know that there is hunger, and he doesn't know that there is service. It seems that everyone is happily living in one world, Dili and I, Ho Kazai.

Even after more than 100 years, the Jiangnan fathers and elders are nostalgic for Zhou Chen, denouncing corrupt officials and corrupt officials for abolishing Zhou's public law.

But if someone gains, someone loses interests, if it is not for the hostile forces to be strong enough, so strong that Zhou Chen hugged Sanyang's thighs, he still feels that it is not enough, he has to

I felt safe only when I took Wang Zhen's line. Zhou Chen will not bribe Wang Zhen.

I really thought that Zhou Chen didn't care about Shilin's prestige at all.

But there is still a layer of difference between the people's voices and the court. The voices of the local gentry were the hearts of the people that could be heard by the imperial court.

Therefore, Zhou Chen's reputation in the court has never been good, and he even vaguely wants to float to the side of cool officials.

Zhu Qizhen sneered and said: "Liu Qiu was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he couldn't say it at the time, but now he says it, but what is the reason? ”

Liu Qiu didn't have to snipe Zhou Chen, after all, the strength of the Jiangnan gentry in this era was not as good as that of later generations. Liu Qiu is just an instinctive exhortation as the imperial history of the left capital.

At this moment, when I heard Zhu Qizhen talk about this, I knew that if I didn't back down, I was afraid that Zhu Qizhen would even dismiss him today.

Liu Qiu saluted and said: "The old minister is guilty. ”

Zhu Qizhen secretly said in his heart: "This old man is quite knowledgeable. "Zhu Qizhen's appointment today will not be changed because of anyone's obstruction.

No matter who blocks it, Zhu Qizhen will block and kill God, and Buddha will block and kill Buddha. To put it mildly, after Sanyang went, Zhu Qizhen's authority in the court was no longer stoppable.

The reason why Zhu Qizhen didn't use it was just to learn the king's southern technique, and he didn't use it. But when it's time to use it, he won't be soft.

Today's changes in the imperial court are big enough, and there is not much to add a left capital imperial history.

However, Zhu Qizhen saw that Liu Qiu was interested, so he didn't say much, and said lightly: "Since Liu Qing knows that he is wrong, let's step down." ”

Liu Qiu slowly retreated into the queue.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Zhou Chen, prepare an edict for me. ”

Zhou Chen's eyes were red and he said, "Yes." Then he stepped forward, sat down in the position of the side of the business, spread the yellow silk for the holy decree, and concentrated on the pen, ready to write.

Zhou Chen is also from a Shu Jishi, and his writing work is a housekeeping skill.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Reiterate the precepts of Taizu, do not make peace with relatives, do not pay tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies in the community, and anyone who dares to make peace with the tile will be punished." ”

"Resist the tile spur tribute, take the title of the tile spur department, return the tile spur messenger, and send the order to the Yanbian departments, and if there is a tile spur close to the side wall, there is no need to tell it, kill it."

Zhu Qizhen's eyes swept over everyone, he got up suddenly, his iron armor was sonorous, and said: "The Duke of England, the Duke of Chengguo, the Marquis of Baoding, all the lords and ministers, have entered the Wuying Palace. ”

Zhu Qizhen immediately turned around and left, and actually hung the hundred officials here.

"The ministers obey." The noble group headed by the British Duke saluted in unison, and then went to the west, and Zhu Qizhen did not walk the same road, but the end point was Wuying Palace.

When everyone left, the quiet atmosphere was suddenly disrupted, and everything was like a duck, and there was a lot of discussion.

It's not that they can't sit still, it's that he knows. The people who went out of Beijing during this period of time were not only Cao Nai, Wang Zhi, and Gao Gu.
