Chapter 177: Monarchs and Ministers Scold
Qin Yiming was in Chen Yuanyuan's room, watching the green jade fingers beating happily on the strings, listening to the graceful singing and lingering sounds, which were extremely beautiful and intoxicating.
"Jingshan trombone weeps blood, and loyal ministers die as foot ghosts. This "Castle in the Sky" is played by you Yuanyuan Girl, it is really wonderful, and there is probably no more beautiful music in the world. Qin Yiming did not hesitate to praise at all.
"It's still Qin Lang's song, this song can outline the sadness in people's hearts, as if hearing someone slowly telling and wailing, but it also gives people hope." Chen Yuanyuan said meaningfully.
"Hehe, one flower and one world, different people will have different feelings when they listen to the same song, but I can hear that the round girl seems to have sadness hidden in her heart."
"Nothing." Chen Yuanyuan adjusted himself, and his originally frozen face suddenly had a glow.
"Tomorrow morning, after the emperor arranges my position, I will go back to De'an Mansion, and then I will pay the remaining 90,000 taels, are you willing to go back with me?" If you don't want to, I can set you free. Qin Yiming asked softly.
Chen Yuanyuan was very hesitant, looking at Qin Yiming's smile, that handsome face, majestic posture, and that kind of aura that was strong enough to make her succumb, she really couldn't refuse.
"There is also a lady in my house, who is very good and will treat you well!" Qin Yiming hadn't said anything about his own family affairs yet, and he was worried that Chen Yuanyuan would have a bad heart.
Qin Yiming took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yuanyuan, Chen Yuanyuan didn't know what it was, opened it and looked at it, and said in surprise: "Leave the book?" ”
"Yes, if Miss Yuanyuan thinks I'm not good to you, or if you're not used to staying in De'an Mansion, you can take it out at any time." Qin Yiming's eyes concealed a gentleness that Chen Yuanyuan couldn't see.
Chen Yuanyuan suddenly felt a warm current invade his whole body, and the whole person warmed up, the man in front of him is really a man who makes women all over the world admire, although he has a seemingly rude appearance, but he has such a considerate heart, what touched Chen Yuanyuan the most was Qin Yiming's respect for himself. These days, he is still a virgin, and he is not like other men, with bad intentions, and he demands from himself.
However, there is a question that Chen Yuanyuan doesn't quite understand, Qin Yiming seems to have seen through his heart and knows that there is still a person in his heart, otherwise how can this letter of resignation be explained, but how does he know the secret in his heart? Did you really hear it from the music you played? Chen Yuanyuan thought that there was only this possibility, after all, Qin Yiming was a hidden music master in Chen Yuanyuan's eyes.
"Everything is arranged by Qin Lang." Chen Yuanyuan finally decided to follow Qin Yiming to leave the Beijing Division. The letter of resignation in his hand was also torn to shreds by Chen Yuanyuan on the spot.
The empty wait may be a mirror, the person in front of him is also a big hero, Chen Yuanyuan's heart has already been melted by this person, why can't people like the new and hate the old? People should like the new and hate the old!
The next day, in court.
Today, there are three more people in the court of the Ming Dynasty, namely Qin Yiming, Kang Bo, and Wu Sheng, these three people are the palace armor hand-picked by Chongzhen, and Chongzhen selected them as Wu Zhuangyuan, Wu Bangyan, and Wu Tanhua respectively. The main purpose of today's court meeting is to arrange the official positions of these three people, so that they can set an example for the world and let everyone in the world serve the court.
But Chongzhen's mind is more than that, he also wants to arrange another person, that person is Yang Sichang, a person Chongzhen trusts the most and wants to reuse the most.
Chongzhen trusts Yang Sichang so much, one is in the guilt of Yang Sichang, Yang Sichang's father Yang He was the governor of Shaanxi trilateral military affairs, but the trilateral elite at that time were all transferred to the Guanning Jin defense line, Yang He's men had no soldiers available, so they had to advocate appeasement, but the appeasement failed, and was almost cut off by Chongzhen's head, although he was later spared death, but also depressed, Yang Sichang not only did not hold a grudge against himself because of this matter, but was loyal and dedicated; The second is that in the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Azig army attacked and harassed the Beijing Division, and Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, committed suicide in fear of crime, Chongzhen felt that no one was available, so he issued an order to seize the favor and enable Yang Sichang, who was guarding filial piety at home.
Chongzhen now recognizes a problem, that is, to arrange people in the cabinet to listen to him, but the current cabinet is all old people left by Wen Tiren, and he is not the same heart as himself at all, and Zhang Zhifa, the first assistant, has no opinions, and everything inherits Wen Tiren's policy, so he must arrange Yang Sichang into the cabinet.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that these three palace armors are here, how should they be appointed, and you all have your opinions?" Chongzhen said.
Zhang Zhifa came out first and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers heard that the local people should guard the local land, so that the local people can be conscientious and ensure the peace of the party. ”
"Yes, the emperor, the minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister also seconded it!"
Chongzhen seemed to be unhappy and didn't say a word, but he was snickering in his heart, he deliberately let out the wind to let these foreign court ministers know that he wanted to put Qin Yiming in the capital to retain. Now these ministers really look at Qin Yiming like a plague god, and they really want to release Qin Yiming out.
Kong Yunzhen said: "Your Majesty, the minister suggested that Wu Sheng was from Shaanxi and appointed as the commander of Shaanxi Yongchangwei, and Kang Bo was from Henan and appointed as the garrison of Kaifeng Mansion in Henan. As for Lord Qin, the martial champion, he should be appointed as the commander of the remaining Sidu in Xingdu. ”
"Your Majesty, what Master Kong said is very reasonable, and the minister seconded it!" Chen Xinjia stood up again.
"The minister also seconded it!" Li Jiantai also stood up.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Chongzhen spoke at this time: "Three Aiqing, do you have any objections to Master Kong's arrangement?" ”
Wu Sheng and Kang Bo have no objections, and Qin Yiming has no objections, not enough to feel a little lost in his heart, he has worked so hard to take the martial arts championship, only a commander, this level is not yet high, it seems that the Donglin people deliberately make things difficult for themselves! Fortunately, what Chongzhen promised was the deputy general, Qin Yiming watched, watching the monarch and the ministers acting and playing.
"That's good, Wu Sheng, Kang Bo will appoint Wu Sheng as the commander of Shaanxi Yongchangwei, and appoint Kang Bo as the garrison of Kaifeng Mansion in Henan, and take office in a few days, you two can retire!" Chongzhen said.
"Thank you, Lord Longen, Weichen retires!" Wu Sheng and Comber both retreated happily.
Everyone was very anxious in their hearts, the emperor appointed Wu Sheng and Kang Bo, but did not seal Qin Yiming, could it be that the emperor insisted on letting Qin Yiming stay in the capital?
Zhang Zhifa was about to speak, but Chongzhen continued: "Qin Aiqing, I like it very much, I want Qin Aiqing to stay in the Beijing Division and be the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses!"
In addition, Yang Sichang was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of War and a member of the Cabinet University. ”
Chongzhen deliberately said these two together, he knew that the appointment of these two people, the courtiers would oppose it.
Yang Sichang was in the court at this time, wearing a red official robe, but he didn't say a word, and now the entire court gritted his teeth with hatred for him, he didn't want to come to the court meeting today, but Chongzhen specially informed him to come over.
In comparison, leaving Qin Yiming in Beijing, some people can bear it, but if Yang Sichang is allowed to enter the cabinet, it really violates the bottom line of some people.
Huang Daozhou is not easy to mess with, this person has always been famous for daring to speak out, he used to impeach Wei Zhongxian and was dismissed, and later Chongzhen returned to the court after he ascended the throne, he was a famous thinker in the late Ming Dynasty, a generation of masters of science, and he did well in learning, so Chongzhen made him the prince's teacher.
Huang Daozhou glanced at Yang Sichang, who was standing on the side, and his heart was full of contempt and contempt.
Compared with Qin Yiming, Huang Daozhou hated Yang Sichang even more, because he thought that Yang Sichang's advocacy of peace negotiation was a betrayal of the country and a surrender!
"Your Majesty, no!" Zodiac Zhou very unceremoniously objected.
Chongzhen ignored Huang Daozhou and said to Yang Sichang: "Yang Aiqing, today I will tell you the reasons for advocating peace. ”
Yang Sichang stepped out of the column sideways and said: "Your Majesty, colleagues, my Ming Dynasty is like a human body, Jingshi is the brain, Xuan and Jizhen are the shoulders and arms, and the Central Plains south of the Yellow River and north of the Great River is the heart. Now the situation is that the beacon fire appears outside the shoulder and arm, and it is very urgent; The plague is in the heart, and it is very deep. Of course, the external troubles cannot be alleviated, and the internal worries cannot be ignored, because it flows poison in the heart, if left unchecked, the heart of the abdomen will be poisoned, the internal organs will ulcerate, and the essence and blood will dry up in the day, what is the use of having shoulders and arms? Therefore, Weichen advocates that he first negotiate peace with Jianyu, stabilize the situation near Jingshi, concentrate on exterminating the thieves in one go, and first settle the internal ,...... if he is outside."
Yang Sichang talked eloquently, just three points, one, the outside must first be inside; Second, enough food and then foot soldiers; Third, only by protecting the people can we. Therefore, he suggested that peace should be negotiated, pay and troops should be increased, and the net should be spread on all sides.
"The internal problem is the disease of ringworm, Lord Yang doesn't look down on those thieves and grass cowards too much, they are just some restless peasants! If those people can read the text roughly, with the presence of our science master, Master Huang, we will definitely be able to persuade them to change their evil ways and return to the right. Kong Yunzhen said.
"Yes, those thieves are too greedy and selfish, where can they know the Confucian philosophy of preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires." He Fengnian was also helping on the side.
"What a talent!" Qin Yiming couldn't help but snicker, according to their logic, let them open the altar, and the world would be peaceful.
Huang Daozhou was ignored by Chongzhen, and he was unhappy in his heart, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Sichang is going to the end of the book, regardless of the severity, it seems that the words are conclusive, but they are nonsense. Thieves are a fresh disease, not to be worried, but the construction of captives is a big problem. Yang Sichang must not enter the cabinet! ”
Zodiac Zhou called him by his name, very politely.
"Seconded by the Minister"
"Seconded by the Minister"
"Seconded by the Minister"
The courtiers followed closely and came out to stand in line and put pressure on Chongzhen.
"Why?" Chongzhen was very unhappy, he questioned Huang Daozhou, he knew that Huang Daozhou was the core figure of the outer court and had great influence.
"There are three reasons for this. First, Yang Sichang was not filial, his father died of illness, and Lord Yang did not go home to keep filial piety for three years, but stayed in Beijing for a long time to be greedy for power; second, Yang Sichang has no talent, what is the net on all sides, levying and extorting salaries, bringing disaster to the country and the people, it is impossible to be effective; Third, Yang Sichang is a traitor and a capitulation faction! This is also the reason why Yang Sichang must not enter the cabinet. Huang Daozhou's words were convincing, and as the leader of Donglin, Huang Daozhou's words immediately won the unanimous approval of the courtiers.
"Why can't we make peace?" Chongzhen looked coldly at this Huang Daozhou, who relied on the old and sold the old, and was angry in his heart, discussing peace is the most important part of Yang Sichang's political views, and it is also what he wants to see, Chongzhen has always been partial to Yang Sichang, Yang Sichang stayed in Beijing after he won the love, of course he has to support Yang Sichang.
"If you can't negotiate peace, you won't succeed in negotiating peace, and if you succeed, it won't last!"
"Why is that?" Chongzhen was furious, he really wanted to see what amazing insights this master of science had.
"First of all, for decades, the Ming Dynasty has been in turmoil, and my heart will not die, even if the peace negotiation is successful, it is superficial and temporary, so it will make my Ming soldiers relax and slack; Secondly, if the hundreds of thousands of troops on the nine sides of our Ming Dynasty are long-lasting, how will the nine side sergeants be settled? These people are people who have been fighting for a long time to make a living, if they are allowed to plow the fields, they will inevitably have turmoil, the old Hui Hui among the thieves is such an example, Yang Sichang this person, harboring evil intentions, is really a traitor, should be killed, how can the emperor still let such a person into the cabinet, listen to the words of such a traitor and dog thief, and advocate peace? "In the second half of the Zodiac Week, I have begun to speak freely and scold.
Yang Sichang didn't say a word, and let Huang Daozhou scold, but Chongzhen was really angry, and couldn't help but sarcastically say: "You have only learned a lot of knowledge in your life? ”
Qin Yiming obediently stood aside, looking at Chongzhen with a cold face, this emperor is indeed very terrible when he is angry, but Huang Daozhou seems to have inherited the revolutionary spirit of a certain party, and has already reached the realm where he can put life and death aside for the belief in his heart, the emperor has begun to sarcastically mock him, and he is not afraid and continues to quibble.
"Your Majesty, what is loyalty? What is a Lady? The old minister is loyal and upright, is it for him? He Yang Sichang advocated betraying the country and surrendering, is it for loyalty? Those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and the emperor is much closer to the traitors, and he no longer distinguishes between loyalty and traitors, and he is confused! Is this what Mingjun did? "Zodiac week for a tooth.
Qin Yiming was happy to hear it, and this monarch and minister fought and scolded.
Chongzhen has already begun to get angry, and the ministers around him don't dare to say anything, where do they dare to directly confront the emperor like this, and they dare to play those pediatric tricks that are contrary to the yang and the yin. This Zodiac Zhou is really a generation of Zhu Zi Physicists, and it is indeed the leader of Donglin, and they nodded firmly one by one to express their support for Zodiac Zhou.
At this time, Chongzhen was already angry, his hand was tightly gripping the armrest of the dragon chair, his face was very ugly, Chongzhen said angrily: "According to the ancestral teachings, those who discern the rebellion should be beheaded!" ”
Chongzhen had already issued a final warning, if he wanted to talk about kung fu, where was he Huang Daozhou's opponent, so he simply didn't talk about it.
"Hmph, the sky can be learned, my zodiac is dedicated to the country, loyal to the emperor, throughout the ages, but all the lords know that loyalty is against the ear, pro-virtuous ministers, far villains, the emperor insists on beheading, then behead!" Zodiac Zhou became even more angry, looking like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.
Chongzhen really wanted to kill this stinky scholar who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but he didn't dare, not because he was afraid of wearing the name of a faint king, but Huang Daozhou, the leader of Donglin and a generation of grandmasters, his influence among Shilin and Confucianism was too great.
"Lord Huang regards himself as a loyal minister?" When his anger froze, Qin Yiming joined the battle group.
