"Exactly." Wei Zhongxian agreed, nodded and said: "There are still many officials in the Donglin Party who are in the court or in the locality, and they are not stiff when they die, and there are many obstacles. ”

Xu Dahua knew that Wei Zhongxian was going to carry out another operation to sweep away the remnants of the Donglin Party, and those who did not belong would definitely not stay, of course, it didn't matter if they were insignificant like Song Shixiang, Wei Zhongxian's target was the remaining Donglin ministers.

"Does the factory want to make a fuss about the coinage case in Nanjing?"

"Yes." Wei Zhongxian said murderously: "These scholars, one mouth is how despicable we are, how noble they are, what are the facts, they are not more than us." ”

Wei Zhongxian said that he was very resentful, not a family does not know the price of firewood and rice, in the past, only the eunuch only knew how to serve the emperor in the palace, and then became the actual family member of the ceremonial to know how difficult the state affairs are, how tight the use of financial endowments is, and now his anger at the officials does not distinguish between the eunuch party and Donglin, because Wei Gonggong sadly found that he jumped out and overturned the Donglin Party and became his own home, but this family is extremely difficult, the most important thing is the financial part, the use is insufficient, this problem has not been solved after the salary, Is the top priority or often in arrears, Xuanda towns have been plagued by famines, the country needs to transfer rice and grain to the past, and the guards have to pay grain to the top in the past, and the court has to compensate for the past two years.

In addition, there are royal expenses, pro-vassal expenses, honors and military attachés in Beijing, civil officials, officials, soldiers, officials, officials, all need money, the court is also quite difficult, in addition to the need to build weapons, repair cities, build bridges and roads, control rivers, it is really everywhere to need money.

This time, the coinage case was also due to the tight taxation of the imperial court, but it still took out the silver book to buy copper, and put it in Nanjing to mint copper coins to issue to the people, alleviating the shortage of copper coins among the people, and at the same time you can get the interest of money, which is a profitable business.

Helplessly, the Nanjing side of the coinage is quite slow, the cost is huge, this is it, this year broke the news that the Nanjing coinage officials are full of private pockets, and later Wei Zhongxian made people take the new money in Nanjing, two fingers are lightly clamped and broken, the money is small and thin, almost close to fake money...... In other words, the fake money of the people is of better quality than the copper coins made by the official of the Nanjing household department.

Forget about corruption, he was still so arrogant, so ruthless, and so ugly after Donglin's defeat, Wei Zhongxian had already decided to do it with great fanfare.

Xu Dahua just chuckled when he heard it, he had recently figured out the emperor's mental technique of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and knew that it was actually the same set of mental techniques handed down by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty. The first reason for not using Donglin is that the Donglin Party has no way to govern the country, and the same corruption and fraud are by no means as they boast that they are in charge of the country. Emperor Tianqi was not enough to govern the country three years before the Apocalypse, and after all, it was Donglin who was brought up, and he was governed by others, and there was no way to get Donglin down by soft means, so he could only use eunuchs as the head to win over undesirable civil officials, and finally drove Donglin away from the imperial court. But the emperor has quite a set of balancing techniques, using one faction to fight another, but except for a few diehards, there are not many Donglin party members who have been killed, and quite a lot of Donglin party people are just throwing idle, and there are Donglin party members who are still appointed locally, and the emperor's attitude towards Sun Chengzong, a scholar of the imperial teacher, is largely a show that the emperor is unwilling to kill the Donglin party...... Donglin can be weak, but it can't be swept away, otherwise there will be no one to control the eunuch party.

In terms of the emperor's mental skills and actual ability, Tianqi is actually higher than his grandfather, similar to Emperor Jiajing, but his temper is much gentler and more benevolent than Jiajing.

The eunuch party is now in power, Wei Zhongxian is a dominant family, Xu Dahua feels that the emperor may not like to see such a situation, and is likely to make some local fine-tuning, this time Sun Chengzong can barely pass the test after the defeat of Liuhe, the first thing that shows is that the emperor's mind has changed.

"Factory father," Xu Dahua said: "The coinage case is nothing more than involving Zhang Heming, this person is very slippery, I'm afraid there are not many hands and feet to handle in it." The lower officials feel that instead of sweeping away the remaining party in Donglin, it is better to try to integrate the three parties in the DPRK and push a core figure out, the three parties share the same hatred and hatred, and work together to assist the factory to govern, and the government decree is accessible, so that the world is clear, and the emperor is of course satisfied with the factory, so that the factory can start and finish well, and obtain a higher name, which is the most important thing. ”

Although Wei Zhongxian is almost illiterate, it does not mean that he does not understand politics or history, in the Ming Dynasty, starting from the Yongle period, there are many eunuchs, the famous Wang Zhi and Liu Jin, including the Eight Tigers in the Zhengde period, are all powerful when they are in power, but once they lose the trust of the emperor, the best end is to be silent from now on, not good is like Liu Jin, he was cut by a knife piecemeal, I heard that he took ginseng soup and hung his life, and he died after three days......

and the most recent eunuch is Feng Bao, and the end is not good......

Of course, the eunuchs also have a good end, there are some eunuchs, who do not leave their names in history, but in fact, when they are alive, they are quite powerful, and they have been in charge of the inner court for more than ten or twenty years, and they can decide all major internal and external affairs in a word, and the emperor has always trusted, the so-called good beginning and good ending, which is really enviable.

However, Wei Zhongxian knew that they were all eunuchs who had been read from the inner study hall, and they had been cautious and serious since they were children, and their knowledge was also solid, and the emperor used these eunuchs to help govern state affairs, even eunuchs had a little trust and respect, unlike Wang Zhi and Liu Jin, who seemed to be very powerful, but the foundation was quite shallow, and there were also steady and steady eunuchs, such as Huai'en and others, even if it was a change of emperor, they could maintain their power, and at least they could retire in the palace or outside the palace comfortably.

Although Wei Zhongxian has a nephew by his side, he also has to consider the matter of providing for the elderly in the future at this time, he is no longer short of silver, and bribes of a few thousand taels are no longer in his eyes, but in addition to the mansion and the silver, the most important thing is power, without power, these things will be taken away at any time.

The most important thing is that Wei Zhongxian thinks that he still has to carefully help the emperor govern the country, only by making the national strength thriving, and there are no major mistakes and problems, the emperor will always use him, even if he loses the emperor's heart in the future, considering the credit he has been making, he will not make his end too miserable.

"Xihuan, let's talk about it." Wei Zhongxian groaned and said to Xu Dahua: "If you can do it, you will obey it." ”

"The first cabinet chief assistant Fang Ge Lao has been back to his hometown for several years, he was forced to return to his hometown by the Donglin Zhugong, and the lower officials often return their letters with him, and the cabinet elders are still worried about state affairs, so the lower officials think, with the prestige of the cabinet elder in the three parties, as well as his ability to govern and manage state affairs, if he can be invited back, the court can really be decided in a word, with very little disturbance, and all governance and governance, there must be few mistakes and omissions, and it will not be criticized."

Wei Zhongxian was moved!

Indeed, how could he forget Fang Congzhe?

Among the officials in the court, there are not many officials in the eleventh year of Wanli.

A Cui Jingrong, who is already an old fool, knows that he is a top cow, and he has the same virtue as those young Qingliu, but it is Fang Congzhe, Wei Zhongxian is very impressed by him...... It is quite capable, with a very good personality, protégés and former officials all over the world, and many people in the three parties are also Fang Congzhe's protégés or fellow villagers, in the early years of the Apocalypse, when the Donglin Party was so majestic, the people in the three parties were also protected by Fang Congzhe, until the three parties broke with Donglin, and Fang Congzhe failed to mediate, which was gloomy.

This is a period of nostalgia, not yet to make people feel that it is a historical past, Fang Congzhe's back is not far away, and his ability to reconcile China and foreign countries, and to govern in the middle of the lazy government of Shenzong is quite impressive......

"Xihuan, you can write to ask Elder Fang Ge." Wei Zhongxian decisively said: "You have mentioned this matter very well, and I will leave it to you to operate." ”

"Yes, the lower official will write a letter when he goes back." Xu Dahua was overjoyed, got up and saluted.

……

Before the palace gate closed in the evening, Wei Zhongxian turned back to live in the palace.

This is also his habit, the palace is the foundation, no matter what, he will wait in front of the apocalypse for a while, report to the emperor about the recent government affairs and general state affairs, if there is something that cannot be solved, it will be submitted to the emperor for adjudication, for example, after a while, he will make people attack Cui Jingrong, but Cui Jingrong is a heavenly official Shangshu, and it is definitely not Wei Zhongxian's own master, and the emperor must approve it.

Although the emperor is no longer directly involved in government affairs, in fact, many things are still carried out in an orderly manner, such as a while ago, the emperor would come to the Hanlin Academy and Taixue, what should be done, the emperor has never been delayed because of carpenter work.

After arriving in the palace, he heard that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was building carpentry work, Wei Zhongxian quickly changed into a more close-fitting robe, and hurried over with his shoulders on his shoulder.

The hall was full of carpenters and eunuchs, and there were always hundreds of people waiting inside and outside the palace.

The emperor is building an elaborate attic, which is actually part of a larger project, from the front yard to the backyard garden, the pavilions and pavilions are all made of wood, and some of the buildings are quite exquisite, and the doors and windows can be opened......

Wei Zhongxian didn't say anything when he came in, just stood beside the emperor, helping to hand over some tools and the like, Tu Wenfu and Ge Jiusi, Du Yongming, and Wang Binggong, who had always accompanied the emperor to build things, all moved out of the way slightly, knowing what position he and others should stand in when the factory was there.

Only Gao Qiqian couldn't walk away because he was helping the emperor master his strength on the other side and seeing the distance, he smiled respectfully at Wei Zhongxian, even if he had greeted him in front of the emperor.

"Oh, the factory minister is here." The weather is very hot, and the apocalypse is too focused, and the hall can't blow the wind in order to prevent the model from drying out, so the apocalypse is sweating profusely after being busy for a while, a small yellow door handed over a towel, and the apocalypse wiped the sweat, and smiled at Wei Zhongxian: "In a few days, I will build a water method, and I can't stand it anymore." ”
