Volume 8 Chapter 166 It's finally over
Why did Tian Hongyu give Chen Yuanyuan to Zhou Yanru, in history, he gave Chen Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui, and as a result, the tragedy of Wu Sangui leading the Qing soldiers into the customs also led to the eternal swan song of "crying for the six armies, and being angry for the crown".
At this time, there was naturally a reason why he gave Chen Yuanyuan to Zhou Yanru, because at this time, the Ming Dynasty was not in chaos and could not be cleaned up, the elite of the border army of the Ming Dynasty had not yet lost the hands of Jiannu, and the anti-thief Li Zicheng could not defeat the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and most importantly, at this time, the trajectory of history had changed, and Tian Guifei was not dead!
Tian Hongyu is very ambitious, saying that he took Chen Yuanyuan to the capital because Tian Guifei died and he fell out of favor, so it would be to use Chen Yuanyuan to compete for favor.
In history, when he went to Jinling to look for a beauty, Tian Guifei was not dead, how could he predict that Tian Guifei would die and he would fall out of favor!
He is not looking for beauties to compete for favor, but to make friends with powerful people in the court and help his grandson seek to seize imperial power!
Anyway, isn't the crown prince already canonized at this time, and the prince Zhu Cihong is about to reach adulthood, does he still have a chance?
Of course he has a chance, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are notoriously willful, do whatever they want, do not pay attention to the rules, like Zhengde, Jiajing, Wanli do not pay attention to the rules, do what you want, no one can stop it, who dares to stop it, that is not respecting the emperor, not respecting the imperial power, that is illegal, that is a crime!
Like the willfulness of the Wanli Emperor, Hu Lai angered the Wenchen, the dispute between the country and the capital is a big outbreak, the Wanli Emperor wants to completely ignore the rules, do not stand long and stand young, this kind of thing, can you still sit idly by, if you don't talk about any rules, then this country is still called a country, so, all the civil ministers are on the bar with Wanli, Wanli dismissed the four first assistants for this, and dismissed more than 100 important ministers of the court, dismissed, and assigned to the army, but all the civil officials just did not give in, and finally Wanli directly came to the court to show his anger, It is also strange that the emperor should be to this extent.
It is precisely because of such a wonderful emperor that Tian Hongyu feels that he has hope to help his grandson seek to seize the imperial power, what if the crown prince is established, can't he be abolished, as long as he has not become the emperor, everything is possible!
Of course, he also knows that this kind of thing can't just rely on Chongzhen's hot-headedness, the battle for the national capital of the Wanli Dynasty is an obvious example, and the emperor can't do whatever he wants, and there are still those who are not afraid of death who jump out to oppose it, and this kind of not afraid of death is not one or two in the court, but a pile.
Therefore, in history, he gave Chen Yuanyuan to Wu Sangui, who held the only elite of the border army of the Ming Dynasty at that time, because at that time, the Ming Dynasty was already in chaos to the point that the generals were not in the country, and the Wenchen was no longer the top thing, and the top thing was those military generals with heavy troops, Wu Sangui held the last remaining tens of thousands of elite border troops in the Ming Dynasty, and it can be said that he is the most weighty person in the court, as long as Wu Sangui is willing to fully support it, his grandson can take the throne.
It's a pity that he didn't have any further plans before Li Zicheng entered the capital, and Chen Yuanyuan was also robbed by Liu Zongmin, a general under Li Zicheng, and all his efforts came to naught.
The situation is different at this time, although the Ming Dynasty is chaotic, it is not so chaotic that it is about to destroy the country, and the civil officials in the court still have the final say, so he simply gave Chen Yuanyuan to the most effective civil official now, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant of the cabinet!
Zhou Yanru is not a stupid person, he was just stunned for a while before he understood.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.
What else can Tian Hongyu do when he suddenly send him such a peerless beauty, isn't it just for his own interests, and where is Tian Hongyu's greatest interest, it is obvious that in the palace, as long as his grandson can become the emperor, his Tian family will be terrible.
He also knew that this peerless beauty was not meant to be sent, and this Tian Hongyu said that he would send Chen Yuanyuan to his house later, but it did not necessarily mean that he would send this peerless beauty to his house, the key was to wait for him.
What are you waiting for, naturally, when things are negotiated, he makes some kind of promise.
If things are not negotiated and everyone breaks up unhappily, he will also send you a peerless beauty, dream of it!
Zhou Yanru coveted this peerless beauty, and Tian Hongyu urgently needed the support of the first assistant of the cabinet, so the two naturally talked quite speculatively.
Of course, this kind of thing can't be said clearly, only vaguely hinted, these two people are puns on words, and they don't mention abolishing Chang Liyou, but they are like mirrors in their hearts.
For example, Tian Hongyu, he next seemed to sigh at the favor his daughter received in the palace, but actually told Zhou Yanru that Chongzhen did not like the queen and the prince, and it was very possible for his daughter to ascend the throne or even his grandson, and as long as Zhou Yanru could come forward to support it, this matter would definitely be successful.
Zhou Yanru said that Chongzhen asked him to clean up Zhang Bin's affairs, and faintly mentioned that the relationship between the prince and Zhang Bin was a little too close, which made Chongzhen very annoyed.
What he means is that I can help you, there is no contradiction between cleaning up Zhang Bin and cleaning up the prince, as long as the time is ripe, you can clean up Zhang Bin and the prince together!
I don't know how credible he is, it's possible that he really wants to get rid of the prince together, or maybe he's just fooling around, in order to get the peerless beauty.
Tian Hongyu is not the kind of stupid person who beats a dog with meat buns, the two talked about it almost, and he shamelessly said that this Chen Yuanyuan is his goddaughter, you can do it if you want to his goddaughter, and you don't need to marry Mingmei, but you have to write a letter of appointment, which means it.
This meaning is obvious, he must do it, if he doesn't succeed at that time, he will take out the letter of appointment when he is finished, and drag Zhou Yanru into the water together!
Zhou Yanru has been hooked by Chen Yuanyuan's stunning color at this time, for a demon like him, the attraction of this peerless beauty can simply kill him, isn't it to support the abolition of Chang Liyoung, as long as Chongzhen is willing to speak, it seems that it is not impossible for him to support this matter again.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, he immediately asked Tian Hongyu to bring a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote a letter of appointment with a brush, Tian Hongyu was not ambiguous, and when he got the letter of appointment, he ordered someone to send Chen Yuanyuan to Zhou Yanru's mansion, without dragging the mud and water at all.
It's terrible now, the pervert meets a beautiful woman, it's like dry firewood encountering a fire, Zhou Yanru is a daunted fight, deeply trapped in it, can't extricate himself, what to get rid of bad governance, Zhongxing Daming, to hell, he sits in the cabinet duty room every day, and he just thinks about going back at night to meet the beauty!
This is not an exaggeration at all, in history, when Chongzhen recruited him to return to Beijing as the first assistant of the cabinet, he was happy to be a new beauty, and he delayed vigorously, but he did not enter Beijing to take office, and finally Zhang Pu was so angry that he threw the official document in front of him, so he reluctantly ran to the capital to take office, that is just an ordinary beauty, how can he compare with Chen Yuanyuan, a peerless beauty who has left a name in history, he did not go to the cabinet because of Chen Yuanyuan, even if he was very restrained!
I hardly sleep this night, I have to get up early in the morning before dawn, I can't stand it even if I am a strong man, not to mention Zhou Yanru, a weak old man in Chinese, who has been doing this for a few days, his eyes are black, dizzy, and he can fall asleep sitting in the duty room!
Because of Zhang Bin's forbearance, Chaozhong seems to be calm and has nothing to do, even if he is dizzy, it doesn't matter.
However, it will definitely not work if it goes on like this, people are fine, but he will have something to do, and if he goes on like this, he has to make himself ruined!
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the New Year to arrive, no need to go to work in the morning, you can accompany the beauty at home every day, and it doesn't matter if you don't sleep at night.
When the New Year came, Zhou Yanru was a new peerless beauty, intoxicated with gentleness in the township, but Zhang Bin had already begun to secretly prepare for the succession of the crown prince.
The crown prince's birthday is the fourth day of the second lunar month, that is to say, less than half a month after the New Year's Festival, the prince is considered an adult and can succeed to the throne!
After enduring it for a long time and finally coming to an end, how does Zhang Bin plan to get Chongzhen down and let the crown prince succeed to the throne?
