Chapter 209: Above the Court

This time, Chen Renxi, the imperial historian of the Liaodong Town Supervisor, reported the situation and did not use a dense folding box, but jointly signed with Lu Shanji, the governor of Liaodong, through the Liaodong post station system, which has now been vigorously rectified and strengthened, through the general political envoy of the imperial court, and handed it to the military aircraft department.

In this way, of course, there are more people who know the news of the victory in Saibei, and all those who know something about the border situation in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty are all happy and excited.

However, there are also some imperial historians and officials who claim to be clear, and the next day they wrote to impeach Lu Shanji, Chen Renxi, Cao Wenzhao and others, who are unauthorized to provoke and provoke trouble, and should be severely punished and set an example.

After learning of the changes on the grassland, Emperor Chongzhen, who has always been elated, certainly did not have a good impression of this so-called clear stream that is accustomed to pouring cold water and singing the opposite. Therefore, we have consistently turned a blind eye to and turned a deaf ear to such twists and turns.

In the past when the Apocalypse Dynasty was placed, such an eye-opening stamp, even if it was handed into the General Political Envoy Department, or even into the Cabinet, it would be stopped at this pass of the celebrant supervisor, and it would definitely not be allowed to enter the emperor's field of vision, which would provoke the emperor to be angry.

But the current celebrant doesn't have the guts to do so.

Cao Huachun is still the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, and he is still rewarded and praised by the emperor from time to time, but the current emperor does not hand over important military affairs to him at all.

After a long time, the discerning people in the court have also seen that although Cao Huachun is the eunuch of the palm seal of the celebrant eunuch, his power is limited to the management of the affairs of the eunuchs in the palace.

Even Wang Zhixin, Chu Xianzhang and others, who were originally unknown, are now more valued by the emperor than him.

Therefore, today's Cao Huachun does not dare to do or even think about what Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian have done in the past.

Cao Huachun's performance, of course, Emperor Chongzhen saw it. Because he knew what Cao Huachun did more than ten years later, Emperor Chongzhen always had a grudge against him, and always wanted to find an opportunity or find a crime to get rid of him, even if he didn't cut off his head, he would raid his home.

But Cao Huachun's current situation of keeping to himself and being in a decent manner made Emperor Chongzhen no longer in a hurry to make a move, after all, such a celebrant is a celebrant who has restored his original appearance, and it is also the one he wants.

In the past, the Emperor of the Apocalypse needed to reuse the power of the ministers of the celebrant to fight against the Donglin Party who almost controlled the court, in order to maintain the balance of the entire court and maintain the emperor's imperial authority, so he also deliberately cultivated and indulged the power of the ministers headed by the celebrant eunuch.

However, the current Emperor Chongzhen did not feel the need for this.

First, Wanli, Taichang and the apocalypse since the countable Donglin Party bigwigs, most of them have been cleaned up by Wei Zhongxian, even if Emperor Chongzhen has decreed the abolition and destruction of the "Three Dynasties Canon", and restored the reputation of those Donglin Party bigwigs, but those Donglin Party bigwigs are also dead and cannot be resurrected, and they can no longer make trouble for the emperor.

Second, Qian Qianyi, the current boss of the Donglin Party, was not used by the emperor to the Beijing court. At the same time, in history, a group of young Yushi Qingliu who were born in the Donglin Party and were known for their sharp-tongued mouths were also sent out by the current Emperor Chongzhen, more than a dozen or nearly twenty, some of them went to the towns of the nine borders to serve as supervisors, some to serve as instructors in the lecture hall, and some to the Zhuozhou New Army Training Camp as instructors, and so on.

In this way, the relatively young generation of talented people in the Donglin Party, such as Huang Daozhou, Wen Zhenmeng, and Ni Yuanlu, who have always prided themselves on their clear streams above the court, were almost empty.

Without these newborn calves above the court who are not afraid of tigers, cannon fodder, thugs and spokespersons for disciples, those who have been driven out of the court by the eunuch party, and now they have not been reactivated by Emperor Chongzhen, there is no chance to make waves.

Party strife is an important reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, and now the Chongzhen Emperor, who has the experience of later generations, has always maintained a high degree of vigilance in this regard, and will definitely not let the Donglin Party, which once controlled the court after the fall of the eunuch party in history, resurge.

Now these sons and grandsons of the Donglin Party who have not yet become a climate in the court, their combat effectiveness is not comparable with those young cadres of the Donglin Party who have experienced the baptism of struggle with the eunuch party and left a great name in history, and they cannot cause any trouble to the emperor who is in a happy mood at the moment.

Besides, now that there is a military aircraft department, it is enough to divide the power of the cabinet and the power of the celebrant supervisor, so that both the cabinet and the celebrant will not dare to take the political affairs they handle lightly.

Because now, in addition to the traditional channels of the General Administration, the Cabinet, and the Celebrant Supervisor, the emperor also has such a channel as the General Administration Department and the Military Aircraft Department, as well as the secret folding channels delivered by Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

In today's Military Aircraft Department, although they are all ministers who were once regarded as members of the Donglin Party, such as Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua, Emperor Chongzhen has complete trust in the character and ability of these two people.

Coupled with a British public Zhang Weixian, who has nothing to do with the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party, the Military Aircraft Department can be completely assured.

Even the current cabinet is not something that the Donglin Party can manipulate, and the first assistant Li Guowei is regarded as a eunuch by the Donglin Party, and he has always been on bad terms with him, and he has never been able to pee in a pot, so Li Guowei is impossible for the Donglin Party to use.

Several other important ministers, such as Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua, can be classified as the Donglin Party, but this classification is actually negligible.

The most critical point is that the so-called "cabinet ministers and court pushes" method, which originally led to the inevitable and intensified party disputes in history, has now been silently abolished by Emperor Chongzhen.

If the six Shangshu or local governors want to enter the cabinet, they must first pass the nomination of the current cabinet ministers, then the emperor nods, and finally the court council and the edict appoint, and the whole process, the emperor plays a leading role in it, and there is no room and opportunity for the courtiers to openly carry out party and dissent.

And as long as there is no party strife, what does it matter if the ideological propositions of the ministers of the court are the same as those of the Donglin Party, or whether they are close to them?

Besides, there is also Xu Guangqi. Although geographically speaking, he is also a proper Donglin Party, but in fact, Xu Guangqi is fundamentally different from the Donglin Party, because he is a Catholic and a faction that advocates Western learning.

With such a cabinet and such a military aircraft department, what is there to worry about being manipulated by the Donglin Party?

Therefore, for the current court, Emperor Chongzhen is generally satisfied and assured, and the new generation of spokespersons of the Donglin Party, such as Zhang Pu, Xia Yunyi, Wu Weiye, Zhang Guizhang and others, will find an opportunity to send out in the future, serve in the state and county, and sharpen their work, and they may not be able to become usable people.

For example, a person like Shi Kefa was a proper disciple of the Donglin Party, but Emperor Chongzhen still made him the champion of Enke in the first year of Chongzhen.

After all, for such a loyal and upright talent, just because he was labeled as a Donglin Party, he couldn't be discarded indiscriminately.

In fact, in today's interactions with Li Xin and others, Shi Kefa has rapidly changed in the direction of attaching importance to practice.

The emperor's emphasis on military training, city building, manufacturing, mining and metallurgical mining and other practices has invisibly also set a clear orientation for all newly promoted Beijing officials, that is, if you want to get the emperor's favor and reuse, it is simply impossible to understand these practices of the national economy and people's livelihood.

At the same time, it is also due to a series of large and small military victories since September of the first year of Chongzhen, so that the voices of questioning and criticizing Emperor Chongzhen's various military and political measures in the court have been completely drowned in the wave of praise and celebration.
