Shen Tingyang and Li Xin were still pondering each other, when they heard the emperor say: "I haven't thought about what Sun Qing said. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIf Aiqing has made up his mind, then Aiqing can consider the successor of the governor of Zhili? ”

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's words came out, it meant that he basically agreed with Sun Chengzong's strong words to the governor of Zhili.

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen also got up and stepped forward and helped Sun Chengzong, who was kneeling on the ground, up.

After the two of them sat down again, Sun Chengzong said: "The old minister thanks Your Majesty for your understanding!" The Governor of Zhili is in the wings of Gyeonggi, and his position is extremely important, as for the successor, please ask Your Majesty to make a decision! ”

Hearing Sun Chengzong say this, Emperor Chongzhen no longer dwelled on this topic at the moment, but said: "The training camp of the Zhuozhou New Army is now complete and on the right track, Aiqing is unwilling to serve as the minister of supervision and training again, in my opinion, if this position is removed, the training camp of the Zhuozhou New Army will be entrusted to Wang Fu, Zhu Mei and others, and then Fang Kongzhi will be the imperial history of the supervising army, and Huang Daozhou will be the deputy envoy of the supervising army, which should be able to ensure all safety." I don't know Aiqing, what do you think? ”

After hearing this, Sun Chengzong pondered and said, "Your Majesty said that the minister has no objection. It's just that for such military affairs, His Majesty only consults Yu Chen, which inevitably makes others suspicious. The minister suggested that His Majesty should discuss this with the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department. ”

Seeing that Sun Chengzong was avoiding suspicion at this time, Emperor Chongzhen's heart was also full of emotion.

In this era, the minister of the court is not good, if the emperor does not trust him, of course he can't do a good job, even if he has great ambitions, he can't show it, but if the emperor trusts too much and reaches the level of obedience, there will be many colleagues who are envious, jealous and hateful, and talk about you behind your back, all kinds of cynicism and gossip like cold arrows and dark arrows to shoot you, so that you can't guard against it.

In history, Sun Chengzong left the imperial court during the Apocalypse, but he couldn't bear the malicious attacks of Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs, and he was disappointed in the court battle, so he took the initiative to resign and return home, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't keep it in every possible way.

Originally, in history, Sun Chengzong's resignation and return home in Chongzhen for four years was almost the same reason, but the people who attacked him were replaced by eunuchs to Donglin party members.

This is also the so-called terrible words, especially for the founder gentleman, the gossip in the court is sometimes more lethal than the enemy's sword.

As for the vile villains and hypocrites, it doesn't matter what people say about it, I will not move whatever you say.

Such a kind of reverse elimination, even in the workplace and officialdom of later generations, has not changed in the slightest.

Therefore, after hearing Sun Chengzong's words at this moment, and remembering that the cabinet and the Ministry of Officials had put forward suggestions for filling some vacant positions more than once, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Aiqing is reasonable. In this case, before the o'clock this afternoon, the Military Aircraft Department is responsible for convening the cabinet ministers, the ministers of military aircraft, and the ministers of the Ministry of Commerce to come to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters. ”

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen picked up the teacup and drank the tea, and Sun Chengzong and others saw this and retreated.

After Shen Tingyang and Li Xin retired, in accordance with the emperor's will, they hurriedly sent people to inform the cabinet ministers, ministers of military aircraft, and ministers of the Ministry of Commerce to attend the imperial meeting in the afternoon.

Emperor Chongzhen had lunch and took a lunch break for half an hour, and the time passed quickly.

In the early afternoon, Li Guowei, Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, Li Banghua, Zhang Weixian, and the official Shangshu Cheng Jiming gathered outside the Qianqing Gate to ask for an audience.

Emperor Chongzhen summoned by decree, and a cadre of important ministers of the court dressed in red court clothes entered one after another, and the complements on the court clothes of these loyal ministers were either cranes or python robes, which dazzled several imperial attendants and military attaches standing in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace.

The six ministers rushed in, and when they saw that Emperor Chongzhen was already here, everyone saluted and said: "The ministers and others pay tribute to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

After these ministers finished their etiquette, Emperor Chongzhen said: "Everyone, Aiqing, give me a seat!" ”

Seeing that everyone was sitting down on the brocade stool prepared in advance, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "The matter of convening all Aiqing to come to the Qianqing Palace today to discuss, presumably Qing and the others have already made it clear.

"Sun Chengzong Sun Aiqing resigned from the post of governor of Zhili, and in the future, he will remain in the court and concentrate on assisting me in handling military affairs, and I have been grateful. Looking for all Aiqing to come over, it is to discuss, who is suitable to take over the position of Sun Aiqing as the governor of Zhili? ”

After the emperor said this, several ministers, you look at me, I look at him, all waiting for the first assistant Li Guowei to speak first, and finally Li Guowei said: "Although the governor of Zhili is a new position after His Majesty ascended the throne, but in the past year, his position is critical, and his power is precious, and everyone inside and outside the government and the opposition knows it. Sun Ge Lao Li resigned as the governor of Zhili, which shows that he is not greedy for power. The minister was deeply admired. ”

Speaking of this, seeing that the emperor nodded, and the ministers in the palace also recognized, Li Guowei continued: "However, it is precisely because the selection of the governor of Zhili is extremely crucial, which is related to whether His Majesty's many measures in Gyeonggi can be implemented consistently, and it is related to the maintenance of the achievements of the reform and innovation in Gyeonggi in the past year, so among the ministers, if Your Majesty does not have a favorite candidate in his heart at this time, it is better to listen to Sun Gelao's opinion on the successor candidate." ”

After Li Guowei finished speaking, all the ministers in the palace agreed, Xu Guangqi, Li Banghua and others all said: "What Lord Shoufu said is the words of Lao Cheng to seek the country, and the ministers seconded it. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "This morning, when Sun Aiqing resigned from the post of governor of Zhili to Zhenli, I had asked about the successor. If there is a suitable candidate, you may wish to put it forward for our consideration. ”

After the emperor said this, the ministers had no worries, and they organized their language one after another, preparing to recommend the candidates they were optimistic about.

I only heard Li Banghua say: "Your Majesty, there is a candidate for the minister, and I think it is quite suitable." Since he was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the minister of military aircraft, he has traveled back and forth to Tongzhou, Zunhua and other places many times, because he is in charge of the affairs of the Armament Institute and the Baiyecheng Iron Works, and has a lot of intersections with the Yamen, the governor of the Hubu warehouse field stationed in Tongzhou City.

"Yes, the minister knows something about Nan Juyi, the governor of Tobe Kuraba. The minister thought that this person might be fit for the post of governor of Zhili.

"First, the governor of the officer was born, familiar with military affairs, and the rank is appropriate, second, the officer is honest and honest, and the reputation is very good, and third, the officer is based in Tongzhou, and he also has a lot of contacts with the Yamen of the governor of Zhili, and he can be competent as soon as possible to take over the governor. Therefore, the minister thought that after Sun Ge Lao took office, Nan Juyi was the best choice. ”

After Li Banghua said this, Xu Guangqi continued: "When the minister first set up the Agricultural Academy, he had a lot of contact with Nanjuyi, and he was very enthusiastic and made many contributions to the promotion of new agricultural practices. In the opinion of the ministers, if His Majesty wants to continue to recruit people to reclaim land in the land of Beizhili, and greatly promote agriculture, industry and commerce, Nanju Yicheng is the best choice. ”

After listening to these ministers, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Cheng Jiming, the secretary of the ministry, and asked, "Cheng Aiqing, as the secretary of the ministry, do you know anything about Nanjuyi?" ”

Cheng Ji ordered to see the emperor ask, so he said: "Your Majesty, the minister has been in the Ministry for a long time, and he knows a lot about Nan Juyi, the current governor of the household department. Nan Juyi, in the 29th year of Wanli, served as the head of the Criminal Department, the prefect, the envoy according to the inspection, and the political envoy left and right.

"Apocalypse served as the governor of Fujian for three years, when he rectified the Fujian coastal guard ship of the sailor division, built the town of Haicheng, and defeated the Dutch Hongmaoyi fleet in Penghu in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, and captured the leader of Hongmaoyi, Wenlu, so that the Dutch Hongmaoyi did not dare to peep at the coast of Fujian and Guangdong for several years.

In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, he was reappointed as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry and the governor of the river, and then because he was not as good as Wei Zhongxian in governing the river, he was jealous of the eunuchs, and he was dismissed and returned. At the beginning of His Majesty's accession to the throne, he was reinstated by edict, and he was appointed as the head of the household department, and later changed to the governor of the household department. ”

After Cheng Jiming finished saying these words, he stopped speaking.
