Chapter Seventy-Three: The Best Cabinet
"Well done!"
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen received the good news from the factory guard, and smashed his fists and shouted.
The factory guard, a big killer, finally played its due role in the war.
Especially Fang Zhenghua, a very wise and strong martial arts person, is worthy of being the prototype of Yuhuatian in the movie Dragon Gate Inn, brave and strategic, dare to fight and dare to fight.
Of course, Dong Changqing and Wu Chengfeng, the two heroes of brocade clothes, are also leaders in the factory and guards, not to be far behind.
Staring at the excerpts from the newspaper, Emperor Chongzhen smiled with satisfaction.
Waving his dragon robe in high spirits, he ordered: "Come here, the military department will immediately reward the meritorious soldiers and spread the word to the whole army." ”
In an instant, the text of the Ministry of War was sent to all units on the front line, Lu Xiangsheng's Changping front, Cao Wenzhao's Xishan military camp, Huang Degong, and Zhou Yuji's Yongwei battalion were boiling, and the mentality of this wave of brave generals exploded.
The beheading of more than 400 Tartar scouts at one time is an unprecedented military feat in recent times, and no one would have imagined that the factory guards would come out on top.
Correspondingly, the daimyo of the three heroes of the factory guard also spread in the army.
The dynamics in the army reached the ears of Emperor Chongzhen, which made his old man deeply gratified.
To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen has always felt that the problem of building slaves and rebels, as long as the money and food are sufficient and the army is strong, everything is not a problem.
However, the Donglin Party and its party struggle are the biggest and most difficult problems in the Ming Dynasty.
To be realistic, it is inevitable for all dynasties and ministers to form a party, and there will inevitably be party disputes, but none of them are so rampant and have no bottom line.
No matter how great and righteous the Donglin Party is in the history books, no matter how "noble" it is morally, their political ideology of representing the interests of Jiangnan Shi Dafu is out of step with the times when the Xiaoice River weather has caused large-scale disasters throughout the country and the country has to use troops both inside and outside.
Yuan Dudu, a well-known backbone of Donglin, said: "As long as you can give the minister enough money and food for soldiers and horses, the minister alone can guard the Shanhaiguan."
Please trust your majesty, and the minister will be peaceful for five years.
However, within five years, the household department transferred military salaries, the Ministry of Industry supplied equipment, the Ministry of Officials hired personnel, and the Ministry of War transferred troops and selected generals, and everything inside and outside the court must cooperate in order to succeed. ”
So, the pure deity asked the ministers of the four ministries to do as Yuan Dudu said.
Donglin bigwigs Qian Qianyi, Qian Longxi, Wen Mengzhen and others jointly wrote: "There are more disputes in the world, and the people have been suffering for a long time. The minister implored the imperial court to reduce taxes and reduce commercial taxes...... Do not compete with the people for profit. ”
In the same way, the pure Buddha-figures still trust them and do so.
……
One by one, one by one, it can be said that the deities all believe in the character of the gentlemen of Donglin and believe that they have a heart for the country and the people.
However, there will always be a day when the lie will be exposed.
However, this price is too great.
The deity used the blood of the Ming Dynasty and hundreds of millions of people to come to a conclusion: Wenchen and scholars can be killed!
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen was gloomy as water, and the sea was looking back on the shameless things that the Donglin gentleman had done.
If the local interests represented by a party contradict the interests of the state, then the party is bound to be a traitorous party.
Since it is a traitorous party, it must be eliminated.
However, this is not an easy matter.
Even as an emperor, if you don't have special help or a good opportunity, you will be full of thorns.
After all, the Donglin Party is huge, the relationship is complicated, and the party henchmen are all over the government and the opposition, how can it be achieved overnight?
Now, the military deployment is being carried out in an orderly manner, but in the court, Emperor Chongzhen feels that it is quite lacking.
Although some officials were promoted and placed in key positions, and the former auxiliary Wang Yingxiong was re-admitted to the cabinet, there was still a lack of backbone.
Therefore, during this time, Emperor Chongzhen never paid attention to government affairs, and the cabinet dealt with it if it could be handled, and if it could not be handled, it was left in the middle of the country.
But in the long run, it is not the way to go.
It is only right that the imperial court must be allowed to operate in an orderly manner before the imperial conquest.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen has the best candidate for the first assistant in his heart, that is, the former first assistant Wen Tiren.
Wen Tiren is not simple!
As a traverser, I feel that the Donglin Party is difficult to deal with and solve.
But Wen Tiren, almost single-handedly, suppressed the Donglin Party.
Donglin bigwigs like Qian Qianyi, Wen Mengzhen, Qian Longxi, etc., were all defeated under him and hated the Ming officialdom.
Because of this, the Donglin Party hated him to the core, regarded him as a thorn in the side, and wanted to get rid of him quickly.
Therefore, Wen Tiren and Wang Yingxiong are the best cabinet in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen.
Don't talk about the big truth, just look at what they do.
Wen Tiren, who was included in the "Biography of the Traitorous Minister" in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", has always struggled with the Donglin Party throughout his life.
Before they died, they were unable to defeat the powerful Wen Tiren.
However, after Wen Tiren died, the opportunity came.
The Donglin bigwigs who survived with their heads shaved and kneeled, and they can't forget their hatred for Wen Tiren as slaves, and they must denounce his treachery and praise Donglin's loyalty.
So, in the history of the Ming Dynasty compiled by them, they portrayed Wen Tiren as the first traitor of the Chongzhen Dynasty.
But the problem is, people don't have anything to say about them.
It doesn't matter, the righteous gentlemen of Donglin have a way.
First of all, if you frame the Donglin boss, you are a traitor, and you are a traitor.
Although, the Donglin bigwigs framed by Wen Tiren all survived under the butcher's knife of Ta Qing.
Secondly, it is said that the gentle body is benevolent and flattering, and the emperor Chongzhen is flattered.
But the damn problem is, isn't it politically correct for Shoufu to listen to the emperor?
It's just nothing to talk about!
As for Wen Tiren's shrewdness and ability, they won't say anything.
In fact, you don't need them to say it, just think about it.
Wen Tiren has been able to sit firmly in the cabinet for such a long time, which is inseparable from his outstanding ability to do things.
In all fairness, as the first assistant, if you only have the ability to meet and not solve problems for the emperor, it will be difficult to gain the emperor's long-term favor.
According to records, when the cabinet drafted the edict on behalf of Emperor Chongzhen, he encountered professional problems such as the criminal name Qian Gu, and because of the complicated clues, other cabinet scholars were at a loss.
And Wen Tiren knows it at a glance, and there is no mistake.
That's the real thing.
Therefore, after his death, Emperor Chongzhen also posthumously called him "Wenzhong" and regarded him as a loyal minister.
And Wang Yingxiong, the gentlemen of Donglin can only scold him before he is alive, and they dare not scold him after his death.
Why?
Because the people died too heroically, the loyal ministers of Donglin were embarrassed.
After the cool of the Ming Dynasty, the Taqing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, and the loyal ministers of Donglin were busy shaving their heads and calling them slaves, and Wang Yingxiong, who was scolded by them as the eighth king, scattered all his family wealth and pulled up a team to work with Jiannu alone.
In the end, he and his two sons sacrificed their lives for righteousness.
Great!
Later, Emperor Yongli gave Taibao and Jianji Hall scholars, nicknamed "Wen Ke".
Speaking of which, both of them have Wen, which is the highest evaluation of Wenchen.
But because they all fought with the Donglin Party, they were all smeared in the end.
"Your Majesty, the former head assistant Wen Tiren has arrived in Beijing, and now the pedestrian Si Kuo is washing and resting."
While thinking about it, the little yellow door in the palace came in to pray.
"Summons!"
Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly overjoyed, and he was impatient to order.
Immediately after the consciousness was inappropriate, the old thing was old, the car was tired, and he was running all the way, I was afraid that his bones would fall apart, and he said softly: "Let Wen Aiqing rest and summon again." ”
"No!"
Xiao Huang promised at the door, but his heart was natural, he quietly withdrew, and went to the pedestrian division to wait for Wen Tiren to rest.
