Will the master really plot to take away his own country?

This question has been bothering the young Zhu Cihong, so that he has no heart to review his homework, and after returning to Ciqing Palace, he stays at his desk, his head is messed up, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.

At the end of the day, the imperial sister-in-law Zhang Yan came to the study on time, and usually at this time, she would come to check on Zhu Cihong's study, and then talk to him and coax him to sleep.

Zhu Cihong's study generally doesn't need her to worry about anything, because Zhang Bin's teaching is very good, and Zhu Cihong has always been very conscious, so she only needs to take a look at it every time and accept Zhu Cihong's learning results, and there is no need to urge Zhu Cihong to study.

However, something strange happened today, Zhu Cihong didn't study, but sat there in a daze with a sad face!

When she saw Zhu Cihong's appearance, she couldn't help but walk up, stroked Zhu Cihong's head, and said with concern: "Hong'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhu Cihong leaned on her arms and said aggrievedly: "My father just scolded me." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Yan said distressedly: "What's the matter, why did the emperor scold you?" ”

Zhu Cihong said honestly: "My father said that I shouldn't reuse the master, he said that this would ruin the Ming Dynasty." ”

"Ahh When Zhang Yan heard this, she couldn't help but snort, she thought that Chongzhen had just taught Zhu Cihong a few words for a trivial matter, but she never thought that it was for a national event.

She didn't expect Chongzhen to look at Zhang Bin like this, Zhang Bin's gentle appearance, how could he seek to seize the Ming Dynasty?

This question is exactly what Zhu Cihong wants to know, and he couldn't help asking: "Aunt Huang, do you say that the master will plot to rob me of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

When Zhang Yan heard this, her eyes couldn't help but dodge for a while, she actually had a good impression of Zhang Bin in her heart, she didn't believe that Zhang Bin would plot to rob her nephew of the country, but this kind of thing, she couldn't make it clear that she favored Zhang Bin and denied Chongzhen's statement.

She thought for a moment and simply asked, "Hong'er, why do you want to reuse your master?" ”

Zhu Cihong said without hesitation: "Because the master said that if I have the wisdom to know people and appoint talents, I can naturally make Daming strong; If I am always confused by those traitors and villains, and think about intrigue all day long, the Ming Dynasty will weaken or even perish. And a person's meritocracy is not said by mouth, but done, how he does things is the key, if the sky is blowing all day long, but it is a mess to do things, it is a traitor; If you speak honestly and work diligently, you can be outstanding and have outstanding achievements, then you are meritocracy. I have seen with my own eyes that the master has governed Fuguang, the common people are very rich, the guards are also quite strong, and well-trained, and those cities, all of them are extremely rich, if the entire Ming Dynasty becomes like Fuguang, the Ming Dynasty will become extremely powerful, so I want to reuse the master to help me govern the country. ”

Zhang Bin actually said such a reasoned thing, and Hong'er could remember it so clearly, it seems that Hong'er is also biased towards Zhang Bin in her heart.

Zhang Yan took the opportunity to ask: "Then do you believe everything you see?" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded and said: "Those are real, they can't be faked at all, of course I believe it." ”

It's good to believe it, secretly relieved, and then sighed: "The women's temple is not allowed to interfere in politics, the way to govern the country, and the imperial aunt can't say anything, since you believe what you see, then do what you think in your heart." But one thing you have to keep in mind is that you can't come to your father, at least, you can't talk to your father when you're talking to him, you know? ”

Zhu Cihong nodded as if he didn't understand, but there was a look of confusion in his eyes, and he couldn't come against his father, and he wanted to reuse the master that his father was not allowed to reuse, isn't this a contradiction, what should be done?

He didn't know what he should do, but Chongzhen knew what he should do.

The next morning, he announced that tomorrow's court would promote the ministers, and after the early court, he "asked" Xu Guangqi to help promote Wen Zhenmeng, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, into the cabinet.

Wen Zhenmeng, the champion Lang Chongzhen, has always admired it, not only because he spoke well at the banquet, but also because he was an upright official, which was relatively famous in the entire court.

Although he has a Donglin background, it is also because Donglin helped him when Wei Zhongxian wanted to kill him alive, and he advertised that he was a member of the Donglin Party out of gratitude, but in fact, he had nothing to do with the Donglin Party.

Moreover, his family background is quite outstanding, he is a famous loyal minister in history after Wen Tianxiang, and is the great-grandson of Wen Huiming, a famous four talented son in the Hongzhi and Zhengde periods, and enjoys a good reputation in the Qingliu.

Chongzhen wants to win over the Qingliu in the court through this move, and hint to them, you see, I want to reuse you Qingliu, and if you have eyes, hurry up and suppress Zhang Bin, the minister who seeks the country!

It is not clear whether Qingliu has eyes in the middle of the court for the time being, but he is quite wrong in one point, Wen Zhenmeng himself will not fight against Zhang Bin, because Wen Zhenmeng is not as stupid as him.

Wen Zhenmeng knows very well that Zhang Bin is a virtuous minister for the country and the people, and Zhang Bin has a lot of support and maintenance for him, and he will not work against Zhang Bin in public or private.

Of course, Chongzhen's means are more than these, and then, on the grounds that Zhang Bin was fighting abroad and had no time to teach the prince, he dismissed Zhang Bin from the post of Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu and named Kong Zhenyun, the young Zhan Shi, to take over.

The representative of Kong Zhenyun and the Southern Sect of the Confucian clan, and the most famous figure after the Confucian sage in the world, can be described as the representative of Confucianism, and has great appeal among those scholars who call themselves Confucian literati.

Chongzhen's move was also to win over these Confucian literati and let them follow behind him and shout.

It's a pity that he thought wrong again, because Kong Zhenyun also knows Zhang Bin quite well, and he also knows that Zhang Bin is a virtuous minister who serves the country and the people, and it is not very likely that he wants him to lead someone to work against Zhang Bin.

That's it, Chongzhen still felt that it was not enough, and then he promoted Xue Guoguan, the secretary of the Ministry of Cabinet University Scholars, as the second assistant of the cabinet, in order to win over the lone party among the remnants of the eunuch party, hoping that they could help him suppress Zhang Bin.

That's it, Chongzhen still felt that it was not enough, and then he promoted Yang Sichang's descendants, and Chen Xinjia, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, served as the secretary of the Ministry of War, hoping that Chen Xinjia could inherit Yang Sichang's "will" and help him suppress Zhang Bin.

After Chongzhen's self-righteous divine operation, there were some subtle changes in the court, and some people were happy and some were worried.

This is the happiest Xue Guoguan, the second assistant of the new cabinet, he thought that after Yang Sichang's hardcore ally was finished, he would definitely follow him, but he never thought that Chongzhen not only had a good favor for him, but also promoted him to the position of the second assistant of the cabinet, which means that he is expected to be the first assistant of the cabinet and control the court!

Xu Guangqi is about to die, whether he can finish this term is not good, no one in this court knows, Chongzhen promoted him to the second assistant of the cabinet at this juncture and Zhang Bin alongside him, the intention is obvious, the emperor does not want Zhang Bin to be the first assistant of the cabinet!

Xue Guoguan was originally a person who was good at drilling camps, and when he had this opportunity, he didn't hurry up and hug Chongzhen's thigh.

Chongzhen was also very relieved because of this, not bad, as soon as he made a move, someone understood his intentions and quickly posted it, this Xue Guoguan is very good, and it may be the best choice for him to be the first assistant of the cabinet!

Some people are happy and some people are worried, Zhang Bin's family of capable officials are naturally worried, but the most worried is the prince Zhu Cihong, because Chongzhen not only took Zhang Bin's position as Zhan Shifu Zhan Shifu, but also borrowed the name of Zheng Chenggong's newlywed Yan'er to ask him not to accompany the prince to study.

This is to completely cut off his connection with the master, Zhu Cihong is so worried that he is almost out of tea, because he wants Xiao Zhang Xiang!

Fortunately, Chongzhen thought that Chen Zilong was Xu Guangqi's person, and did not drive Chen Zilong away, Zhu Cihong's daily study was still in charge of Chen Zilong, which made Zhu Cihong have someone to talk to.

Although he didn't know that Chen Zilong was actually Zhang Bin's disciple, he could see that Chen Zilong admired Zhang Bin as much as he did, and even Chen Zilong didn't let him call him Mr. because of this, but let him call him Senior Brother like Zheng Chenggong.

Fortunately, there was still a senior brother left, and before the lecture started that morning, Zhu Cihong looked at the empty position next to him and sighed: "Senior Brother Zilong, Senior Brother Chenggong is also gone, what should I do?" ”

Chen Zilong was inexplicable, he put down the book in his hand and asked curiously: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what should I do?" ”

Zhu Cihong said without any scheming: "My father won't let me reuse my master, what should I do?" ”

The entanglement between Zhang Bin and Chongzhen Chen Zilong is naturally very clear, because he is Zhang Bin's disciple, and he is also a big disciple, a proper Zhang Bin party, the emperor blindly suppressed his teacher, and he was also a little resentful in his heart, but he also knew that this resentment could not be expressed, not even in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, and if he wanted him to "slander" the emperor, the words of the emperor were transmitted to the emperor's ears by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who had no scheming, and he was finished!

He thought for a moment and said faintly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you want to do?" ”

Zhu Cihong said with a sad face: "I don't know what to do, I want to reuse the master, but my father won't let me reuse the master, I'm about to die, senior brother, you should tell me, what should I do?" ”

Can I say that?

Chen Zilong faintly glanced at the eunuch at the door, and hinted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives the sin, this kind of thing is not something that Weichen can comment on in vain." Why don't I talk about something else with His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feels about this trip, what do you think is the difference between Fuguang and the capital, do you like Fuguang more, or do you like the capital more? ”

On the surface, he was talking to Zhu Cihong about what he had seen and heard during the journey, but in fact, he was comparing the capital under Chongzhen's governance with Fuguang under Zhang Bin's governance, he was hinting to Zhu Cihong, do you want to make Daming a cemetery like Beijing, or do you want Daming to become a rich place like Fuguang?

Of course, Zhu Cihong wanted Daming to become a rich place like Fuguang, his stubborn temper also had to fight with Chongzhen, plus he was at a rebellious age, and the idea of fighting against Chongzhen faintly rose in his heart.

What's wrong with my father, you must be right, look at what kind of people you have reused, and see what you have made around the capital.

I believe your words, no wonder, I only trust my own eyes!
