Chapter 44 Politics



In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Cihong was reviewing the chapters.

"Your Majesty, please drink tea!" Lan Xiang's white and tender little hand held the freshly brewed hot tea, and after blowing it warm, it was handed to Zhu Cihong.

That's right, it's just a hot tea, and it was only quoted to Zhu Cihong after it was warmed by mouth. To tell the truth, it is not that Zhu Cihong became corrupt after becoming the emperor, but that there are such rules in the palace itself, and Zhu Cihong knew that there were such rules when he was still the prince in Beijing.

Except for a little tea that needs to be brewed for a long time, most of it tastes the most fragrant when it is drunk after a while, but the heat does not dissipate for a long time after the tea is brewed, and it is not good to drink it immediately, so there is this rule, although it does seem too corrupt, but Zhu Cihong has never wanted to destroy the existing rules too much, for Zhu Cihong, since he is the emperor, such rules can make him comfortable, so why can't he accept it, and what does he need to care about.

In other words, after only two months of coming to this world, Zhu Cihong has already been almost decayed, and his living habits are becoming more and more like an ancient ruler.

Zhu Cihong put down the piece of music that had just been annotated in his hand, took the tea and drank it beautifully, I have to say that this tea contaminated with the fragrance of the girl has a different flavor and is too corrupt.

"The emperor's job is really not good." Zhu Cihong sighed and looked at the pile of music left next to him, and rubbed his temples. He's been reviewing it for two hours, and he's only approved less than half of it.

Zhu Cihong had to sigh, fortunately, this Xie Zuozhang was just a relatively calm piece sent from all over the south of the Yangtze River, and he had to approve it for a long time, thinking about the fact that when his father of Emperor Chongzhen, who had been martyred, was still in power, he had to face the chaos in the entire north, and the Recital was at least several times that of Zhu Cihong's current time, no wonder he only rested for about two hours a day on average for more than ten years, and he was obviously in his thirties, but he was tired like an old man in his fifties.

Zhu Cihong's eyes couldn't help but aim at the two little palace maids of Lanxiang and Begonia.

"Orchid Begonia, are you literate?"

"Back to the emperor, the slaves and maids have all learned at home before, and most of them recognize it." The two little girls replied.

"Oh." Zhu Cihong retracted his gaze and continued to look at the recital.

Originally, Zhu Cihong was thinking that she should cultivate these two little girls and let her take two turns to help her read the chapters, but she could only think about it, after all, if this was spread out, she would have to be scolded by the courtiers as a faint king, and maybe she would hurt the two little girls.

"Zuo Liangyu?"

Suddenly, Zhu Cihong looked at the book he had just picked up and was stunned, and then opened it to read.

"Grandma's, it turned out that I was going to be paid for the army, the military salary of the 200,000 army for a year, I am really embarrassed to speak, and I am not afraid of choking myself to death!" Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth.

Zuo Liangyu, this guy, has been supporting the army since the sixteenth year of Chongzhen and not listening to the dispatch of the imperial court, and he also privately expanded the army from 80,000 to 200,000.

Zhu Cihong knew very well that Zuo Liangyu now only had 200,000 troops, and secretly there might be 300,000 or 400,000. Originally, if he Zuo Liangyu was willing to listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, the military salary would not be impossible, but he Zuo Liangyu supported the army and respected himself, and there was a rebellion in history, if he hadn't died of illness halfway, he might have hit the city of Nanjing, such a person, if Zhu Cihong gave him military salary, it was no different from the enemy, which was equivalent to lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, Zhu Cihong was not so stupid.

"Nope!" Zhu Cihong wrote two big words on Zuo Liangyu's recital.

Throwing Zuo Liangyu's recital aside, Zhu Cihong continued to review it.

Two hours later, Zhu Cihong finished approving the chapter, and the chapter was sent back to the cabinet.

"Hey, it's nonsense, the emperor is still a child, and the way of reviewing the chapters is not mature enough." Gao Hongtu looked at the annotations on the recital and sighed helplessly.

Gao Hongtu actually thinks that Zhu Cihong's annotations are too direct, not tactful at all, not mature enough, in fact, he doesn't think about Zhu Cihong, Zhu Cihong has just become the emperor, how can he know that it takes so much thought to approve a concerto, but even if Zhu Cihong knows, Zhu Cihong is too lazy to get those corners and corners, after all, he is the emperor, the master of the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't need to cater to anyone, and he can save a lot of time by directing it.

Jiang Yueguang, the head of the household, deliberately found Zuo Liangyu's recital, opened it, and saw two big 'no's The corners of his eyes jumped slightly, and he put them aside, waiting for the court meeting tomorrow morning.

The chapter is generally selected by the cabinet, each responsible for their own piece, write their own opinions, and then send it to the emperor to see, the emperor gave a comment to the cabinet and then looked, if there are different opinions, you can find the emperor privately, or the next morning with the hundred officials and the emperor to discuss, or the emperor did not comment but stayed directly, and summoned the cabinet ministers into the palace to discuss together, but in any case, everything has to be decided by the emperor himself to be effective.

The next morning.

"The emperor has arrived!" The eunuch's voice entered the Jinluan Palace.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The courtiers knelt down to greet Zhu Cihong.

"Everyone, love Qing is exempt!" Zhu Cihong sat on the dragon chair that symbolized the highest power in the world, looking at the figure kneeling under the black press, and a sense of might and domineering was born in his heart, it seemed that the whole person was different, and it really felt different to be the emperor.

"There is a book, but there is no book!" The same opening remarks as usual.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have a book to play!"

A petty official came out and said: "Your Majesty, now that the new dynasty has been established, we should improve the cabinet this morning and establish the first and auxiliary candidates, so as to better assist the emperor in governing the world." ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and asked, "Do you have any candidates?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the official department is the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Gao Hongtu, has been an official for many years, and he is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, conscientious, and his ability is obvious to all, so he should serve as the first assistant!" It's still the petty official who came out to play.

Zhu Cihong glanced at this person, don't think about it, this petty official must be a member of the Donglin Party, otherwise he would not have promoted Gao Hongtu. At this moment, Gao Hongtu is standing there with the old god, as if he didn't hear it, it's really hypocritical, Zhu Cihong said in his heart.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have different opinions!" An official who did not want Gao Hongtu to be the first assistant came forward.

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Master Ma Shiying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is more suitable than Lord Gao Hongtu to be elected as the first assistant of the cabinet!"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Lord Gao Hongtu is more suitable!"

"Your Majesty! Ma Shiying-sama is suitable! ”

Before Zhu Cihong could speak, the court first argued, Zhu Cihong couldn't help frowning, a good court, now it's the same as the vegetable market, Zhu Cihong glanced at it expressionlessly, there is no doubt that the number of people who support Gao Hongtu's Donglin Party is obviously much more than the number of people who support Ma Shiying, almost half of the court is supporting Gao Hongtu, if it weren't for the few people on Ma Shiying's side who are working against the Donglin Party, Zhu Cihong really doubts that his court has been completely occupied by the Donglin Party and has become a hall of the Donglin Party.

"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to participate in the Criminal Department's Shangshu Ma Shiying!" A young Donglin Party Yushi suddenly shouted loudly.

For a moment, the court immediately fell silent, and they all looked at this imperial history.

"Your Majesty, the ministers participated in Ma Shiying's collusion with the thief, his body is not right, and he should be punished!" The imperial historian said, as soon as he said it, it was a shock, which frightened the people on Ma Shiying's side, and almost scared him out of a heart attack.
