Chapter 404: The Emperor and the Minister (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Asking for Support)
(Thank you for your continued care and love, I will always work hard.) I got a micro, Xingong, public, number, you can add it. Micro, letter, public, public, number: speechless sky)
Located in the northern basin of Taiwan, Wannian Mansion does not see any chill even in the wax moon, and it is not even as cold as the early winter in the mainland, even if it is Fujian across the sea, it is much colder than here. However, although the weather is not as cold as the winter in the mainland, there is occasionally snow in the air, but the snow comes quickly, and after one night, because the ground is too hot, except for the treetops, the eaves, that is, there is still some residual snow on the mountain, and most of the snow in other places has melted.
But even so, the winter snow still made them feel extremely close to many northerners in the Wannian Mansion, and some even drank and chanted poems in the snow to relieve their emotions, of course, most of them were homesick.
Perhaps, compared to other places, there has never been anywhere like Wannian Mansion, where there are so many scholars, and there are countless scholarly families that have been inherited for hundreds of years, but these so-called "scholarly families" are probably ashamed to talk about some family members. After all, the reason why they came to Wannian was because of the drag of those family members.
For people who have been exiled for 10,000 years, this is not a cold winter, and it is often the most reminiscent of their hometown, and while they are reminiscing about their hometown in their own way, there are also some people who try to obtain permission to return home through other means.
In the past, for the exiles in the Wannian Mansion, they had no channel to "express their demands", but now, when they learned that the emperor was stationed in the Wannian Mansion, they immediately understood what the palace in the city was for, and their minds began to move, and they handed the folds to the palace in their own ways.
Handed the fold to the palace, looking complicated, but in fact, this "direct access to heaven" is not necessarily so difficult, after all, with the emperor stationed for 10,000 years, there are also some court officials, although these exiles are implicated by their families, but they are also scholars, and they are also in Shilin, so it is naturally easy to get in touch. Then they used the hands of those officials to send the "tyrannical" and "wronged" folds of King Huai to the palace and to the emperor.
For a time, just such an excerpt, there would be dozens of letters placed in front of Zhu Youlang's case every day, which made the Yongli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty only feel quite tricky, but in addition to being tricky, he also felt sympathy for those people, after all, their experiences were so similar.
"Don't these people know that I am in a similar situation to theirs?"
Sitting on the throne in the middle of the hall, Zhu Youlang's heart was still confused and chaotic.
The dragon seat of this dragon pan claw symbolizes the respect of the ninety-five, this dragon chair is wide and high, the bright yellow soft surface is cold and soft, for the people in the hall, they will feel that the people sitting here are noble and solemn, but the people sitting on it do not have the taste of being alone.
For Zhu Youlang, now he has experienced the taste of being alone, for him, being in the Wannian Mansion, although he no longer needs to worry about the Burmese soldiers day and night like in Ava, and no longer have to live that kind of wandering days, but here, it does not mean that he is the king of the Ming Dynasty.
It's not that no one here regards him as an emperor, in fact, since he came here, he feels like an emperor, because in this palace, there are both palace maids and eunuch attendants, so to speak, here, his life is more like an emperor, not like in the past, wandering and living in fear all day long.
But that's about it!
After being stunned for a long time, Zhu Youlang suddenly became alert, although he was the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, but the will of this monarch could not get out of the Wannian Mansion, not even out of this palace, and even the courtiers, they just looked at his will, and then ...... And then there was no more.
Even...... He, the king of the Ming Dynasty, did not have a court, because most of the courtiers died in Ava, and now he is simply a loner. Without the center of the court, is he still an emperor?
The Emperor is just a full stop......
Is King Huai a loyal minister?
Perhaps this was the biggest joke for Zhu Youlang, who had thought so when he was rescued in Ava City, but now, no matter what, he didn't believe that King Huai was a loyal minister, even though King Huai had made a break in front of his case.
But that's not all.
He, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is just a decoration. Even if he wanted to fill the court, he couldn't do it - there was no one available!
My will will will not come out for 10,000 years, so choose the courtiers in 10,000 years! Sometimes, looking at those who are talking about grievances, he can also understand them, after all, their experiences are similar, they are all uprooted, but those people are exiled, I ...... Why not!
Nahuai Wang...... Is it really a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty?
I don't know how many times, Yongli doubted his loyalty in his heart, if he was a loyal minister, how could he "exile" me here?
"You are all in Ava experienced a catastrophe, the Burmese betrayed their righteousness, I don't know how many ministers were tragically poisoned, today the imperial court is stationed in 10,000 years, since the selection of talents, for the country, I heard that 10,000 years here, gathered many scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, including many of my Ming loyalty......"
When mentioning the selection of talents to enter the court as officials, Zhu Youlang's face immediately flushed. There was some excitement in his eyes, in his opinion, the reason why this is the case now is because there are too few ministers in the court, if there are loyal ministers and righteous people in the court, even if someone wants to be Cao Cao, I am afraid that they must have scruples.
Looking at the more than a dozen courtiers in the court, this is the court of the Ming Dynasty, when he was in Ava, there were more than 100 officials and hundreds of Jinyi guards in the bamboo city, and now how many people are there? However, there are only a dozen courtiers left, even if they are Jinyiwei, there are only dozens of survivors.
The imperial court of the Ming Dynasty...... In this way, there is no way to avoid traitors.
The court of the Ming Dynasty wants to employ people.
Zhu Youlang was even glad that those people handed the fold to his case, after all, many of those people were old ministers of the Chongzhen Dynasty, and most of them were implicated and exiled here because of their nephews and nephews, but they themselves were loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, such people don't need it, what kind of people do they use.
However, Zhu Youlang didn't notice that as soon as his words fell, the faces of the ministers in the court all changed, and a few of them even showed a little fear on their faces. After being an official for a lifetime, after being placed in the imperial court for ten thousand years, some of them have even begun to make their own calculations, after all, anyone can see what it means for the emperor to be stationed in ten thousand years.
It means that the emperor and the court are already in the hands of others, for these courtiers who have survived the difficulty of Ava, they naturally do not want the emperor to "find trouble", almost when the emperor's words fell, Yang Shengfang immediately spoke.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although it is the time when the country is employing people, but this person who has been in the past ten thousand years, although there are loyal and righteous people, but his reputation is damaged, if my Ming court uses this person as an official, how can the people of the world be convinced? Moreover, at present, the Huai King Yu Qinghe, the Jin King and Guangzhou City, the Yanping King and Nanjing, Zhang Shangshu and Nanchang, there are more than thousands of loyal ministers and righteous people in their palaces, and the court should be the first to take loyalty. ”
"What Yang Hanlin said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it!"
Everyone followed and seconded the proposal, Zhu Youlang was dumbfounded, even if a few ministers wanted to support, they finally chose to be silent, not to mention that they knew that their words were insignificant, and what they said was useless, even the reason for these people to speak against it was very simple - to take loyalty, if there is not even loyalty, then what is the use of taking this person?
Looking at the opposition of several ministers, Zhu Youlang didn't expect them to oppose so quickly, as if they had discussed it a long time ago, and it took him a long time before he said:
"This ...... I'm just casually saying that since everyone doesn't agree, then forget it. If it's all right, let's disperse! ”
The court meeting was dispersed like this, and there seemed to be no discussion at the court meeting, and Zhu Youlang's idea of appointing courtiers was also stranded, although the six departments of the court were still missing, but no one took the initiative to mention it. It seems that for the Yongli monarchs, even they themselves understand that this court is just a decoration now.
"I really didn't expect that the emperor couldn't help it so soon."
After the news came from the palace, Zheng Xiaru's tone seemed quite calm, as the prefect of Wannian Mansion, his responsibility is very simple, that is, to "take care" of the imperial court. And this so-called care is just a different kind of surveillance.
"The emperor has no patience, it's only been a few days, and he has begun to think about these methods."
Zhao Pingyue first sighed, and then said.
"Hey, fortunately, no one among the courtiers wants to mess around like him, otherwise, I don't know what trouble will happen!"
When he said this, a thought suddenly popped up in Zhao Pingyue's heart - the "Ava Difficulty" was too coincidental at the beginning, why did the Burmese kill the courtiers? If the Burmese didn't kill the courtiers at the beginning, how could the emperor be like this now, and there was no one to come up with an idea?
Could it be that there is still a hidden secret in the "Ava Difficulty" at the beginning, so the Burmese people were really instructed by Wu Sangui? If Wu Sangui did it, what benefit could he get?
Who is the biggest beneficiary of this matter?
Just when a name appeared in Zhao Pingyue's heart, his back suddenly cooled, and he dared to continue thinking about it, and even his forehead was sweating.
It's really a treacherous ......
Just when Zhao Pingyue was distracted, he only heard Zheng Xiaping continue.
"Speaking of which, the emperor is also a Ming monarch, that is, sometimes he will do some foolish things, it is rare to have Ming ministers in the court, you said that if the Ming Dynasty is prosperous in the future, when the court is still in the court, the civil and military generals in the court are all courtiers, and when the time comes, where will the heroes go? Your Majesty, you are confused for a while, and when the time comes, will it be difficult for the kings to open any government officials? At that time, will this Da Ming still be Da Ming? ”
Zheng Xia looked serious, but Zhao Pingyue's heart was very chaotic, and he even suddenly felt a little terrible, this was the first time he had seen the secrets, the first time he saw the bloody conspiracy, he even wondered, should he leave the house to farm, in case he lost his life, it would be a big loss, after all, the matter here is too scary.
What kind of loyal and righteous man is just to deceive the world and steal his name.
Suddenly, at this time, I only heard Zheng Xiaru say.
"However, it is also a reality that there are no ministers in this court, among the people of Wannian Mansion, if there are no loyal people, it is impossible, among them, there are many loyal people who are willing to atone for their sons and nephews, and such loyal people are left behind in the wilderness, it really shouldn't be ......."
Looking at Zhao Pingyue, Zheng Xiaru said slowly.
"Brother, I wonder if you are interested in becoming an official in the court?"
"What? I...... Entering the court as an official? ”
Zhao Pingyue was suddenly taken aback, and became an official in the court? This, what is this dynasty? Can this function be a function? Just when he was about to open his mouth to refuse, he only heard Zheng Xiaru say.
"Brother, if my brother expects it to be true, my loyal army may swing the Northern Expedition at any time, and when the Northern Expedition is successful, the court will return to the court, doesn't my brother want to seize this opportunity to return to China?"
Looking at Zhao Pingyue with a smile and a word, the reason why Zheng Xiaru wants him to enter the court as an official is because he knows that some things can't be stopped, and since he can't stop it, then he needs to have someone in the court......
And Zhao Pingyue is one of the best candidates because he ...... You will never be a loyal minister!
Of course, he can't be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, this is also the reason why he chose Zhao Pingyue, the court does not need the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise, I don't know how much trouble it will cause to the king, since the emperor now intends to enrich the court, then add some sand to it......
At least it's all under control!
Zheng Xia said to himself like this.
"Fu, Futai, this, this ......"
Although Zhao Pingyue squeaked, he realized that this was also an opportunity, an opportunity to go from a staff member to an official, and even he was very likely to get an unexpected grade, and even overtake Zheng Xiaru, isn't this exactly what he desires?
It's just that if you want to be this official, I'm afraid you have to do something!
"I understand in the next, please rest assured that in the next, in the next will not disappoint the government!"
"It's not that you won't let me!"
Shaking his head, Zheng Xiaru said seriously.
"Don't let the king!"
While saying this, Zheng Xiaru hugged his fist at the north and said,
"As a subordinate official of King Huai, I should do my best to do a good job for Huai Wu and live up to the trust of King Huai, this is my duty as a minister, understand?"
The recognition of his own identity, Zheng Xiaru agreed earlier than others, if he really had a great heart, I am afraid he would not be "exiled" to ten thousand years, he is a courtier of King Huai, naturally loyal to King Huai, and now to Zhao Pingyue, the same is true.
"Yes, yes, under the clear ......"
When he responded, Zhao Pingyue sympathized with the emperor in his heart, thinking about the king in the far north, and secretly thought about it......
"The king, Bi must be a loyal minister, and he won't let himself do that kind of thing in the future......"
