Chapter Twenty-Six: The Covenant of Wen Tiren
In the Ming Dynasty, ordinary concubines were actually the same as palace maids, and their main income depended on Yulu, at most it was nothing more than the emperor's reward.
But once the daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, and she is the kind with a name, and becomes the emperor's mother, it will be different, there are tens of thousands of hectares in the Ming Imperial Village, which is divided into hundreds of manors distributed near the capital, these Imperial Villages are not only the emperor's private property, in fact, some of them also belong to the nobles and nobles in the palace.
Otherwise, just with that little income, where would the prince get the money to recruit troops and buy horses.
is also because of money, because of the land, met the unscrupulous Yang Su, Concubine Li Kangfei ended her magnificent life on an ordinary afternoon. After all, Chongzhen cherishes his reputation and this is his father's woman, so he doesn't kill her.
And Yang Su is a man who is destined to become a faint king, and fame is too far away from him.
A very formal funeral, everyone involved had no sadness, and the court originally bit her mother as her! You can't be unfilial!
The minister of Donglin, who wanted to protect Concubine Li Kang, should not be overwhelmed, and the Yanguan and Yushi were busy fighting each other, and the cabinet was divided into two factions, and they had to fight and break the blood. No one paid attention to the life and death of a former emperor's concubine.
With the death of Concubine Li Kang, the close attendants who originally served her also disappeared without a trace, but no one seemed to notice this abnormality, and no one cared how she died, let alone what happened to her.
After the emperor came up to show his face, except for Concubine Liu who sighed lightly, and Empress Yi'an put on a stick of incense, she was hastily buried on the edge of the imperial mausoleum the next day.
Of course, because of the death of Concubine Li Kang the next day, the extremely filial emperor was sad, and his illness worsened and he naturally canceled the early dynasty.
"Duke Cao, the second prince, this is the vote of the cabinet, and the folds received today, please give instructions!" Wen Tiren smiled gently, he is a very practical person, a person who is detached from low-level interests and does not look at his face very much.
Wu Zongda on the side turned a blind eye and sat directly on the side to drink tea.
"Humph!" Wen Zhenmeng's personality was even more domineering, and he snorted coldly directly, with a mocking look on his face.
Cao Huachun was there, studying the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, so he was not stupid and sat there to stamp the official seal.
In fact, the draft is that the cabinet first writes out the opinions on the handling of the matter with a blue pen, and then the eunuch uses a red pen to indicate whether the opinions are feasible, and finally the eunuch reviews the palm print, and seals it after it is confirmed.
But Cao Huachun is a smart man, he can think! He has to think about the emperor's words day and night, and now the emperor has suddenly changed from a workaholic, pretending to be sick to a shopkeeper! At first, Cao Huachun thought that this was the emperor's order to provide a venue for the ministers of the two parties to hold a group.
But then I thought about it, if the emperor really had this kind of plan, shouldn't it be business as usual and go to court honestly?
If you are too anxious, the ministers will look tired! Why do you suddenly want to push yourself to the forefront, this is unreasonable!
But whether it is reasonable or not, Cao Huachun has decided to listen to the emperor, and I will only stamp it! If you have something important, report it to the emperor!
Wang Dehua is not a fool, at the beginning of his first power, he was excited to approve several copies in a row, ready to show his own brilliance in one fell swoop, so that the emperor can see it! Then he found that the boss of the department was watching the scenery next to him, and then he came to his senses.
The two eunuchs were just a cup of tea, and they were able to complete the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and their high efficiency is worthy of praise.
"Bang!" Wen Zhenmeng slapped the fold in his hand on the table and roared angrily: "Don't you have long eyes? These imperial historians framed the cabinet scholars for no reason, and if you don't criticize them, forget it, and actually encourage them to continue to play! There is also Wang Yingxiong, who is such a vegetarian person, can actually become a scholar of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Dongge University. How intentional it is that you dare to decide such a big thing privately! ”
"Bang!" The teacup in Wu Zongda's hand shattered to the ground.
"Doesn't Gonggong Cao really need the emperor's approval for such a major matter?" Wu Zongda stared at Cao Huachun.
"The emperor has an order, and all matters are mainly based on Wen Shoufu, and we are just giving instructions, and then we will choose military affairs to report to the emperor." Cao Huachun explained innocently.
Wu Zongda's body leaned back on the chair!
It is normal for the cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty to be sprayed by officials and imperial historians, because if a cabinet minister is sprayed by no one, and everyone in the world is praising you, then you are really finished!
Generally, the emperor will take a look at the recital of this kind of speech and officials, and then burn it as firewood. If it is approved, it means that the emperor is not satisfied with the minister, and the minister can take the initiative to resign at this time. In this way, hello, I am hello, everyone, and the emperor also shows mercy to the ministers.
"Since the imperial history is playing, it is clear that there is such a thing, after all, flies don't bite eggs, let's let him continue to play and present materials, all for the sake of Lord Wu's name! As for Lord Wang Yingxiong's appointment as a minister and a scholar, this is a decision made by me and others, and I also ask Lord Wen to be cautious! "Wang Dehua looks like I'm good for you.
"Bastard, I don't believe that this Ming Dynasty can still be ruled by eunuchs such as you! I'm going to reason with the emperor! Wen Zhen Meng's shelf was placed very high.
"The emperor is cultivating, and he doesn't see the foreign ministers." Cao Huachun went back directly.
"Master Wen is young and can speak more than his brain. The imperial history supervises hundreds of officials, and they already have the right to play the wind, so do they have to pretend to be deaf and dumb just because they are cabinet college students? The impeachment of Wen is enough to fill a room, and it's obviously all fiction! According to what Lord Wen said, didn't Wen want to retaliate against the officials one by one? Wen Tiren unceremoniously began to teach the little brother a lesson.
"Wen Tiren, you only know right and wrong all day long, in addition to misleading the country and the people, what else can you do!" Wen Zhenmeng pointed at Wen Tiren and spat at the froth.
"This official can still be loyal to the emperor and choose materials for my Ming Dynasty!" Wen Tiren shook the fold on his hand that had just been stamped with the official seal, smiled proudly, and didn't care about Wen Zhenmeng's face-to-face insults.
"Wen Shoufu, our family is leaving!" Cao Huachun took Wang Dehua and Wen Tiren to summon him and left directly.
"Two fathers-in-law go slowly!" Wen Tiren sent the two eunuchs away with a smile, and his voice changed, "Haha, Lord Wu, Lord Wen, the old man also left first, and the two of them discussed slowly!" Wen Tiren has changed the style of the yin man behind him in the past, from a lone fighter to the current leader of the eunuch party, and his way of doing things has changed greatly.
In fact, the court struggle is a replica of the street fights. They are also the same as the old boys, they have to talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes, but the means and procedures of struggle are more lofty.
After all, everyone is a civilized person, you can't pick up the bricks and slap them directly in the face, and it is not okay to kill one person in ten steps with a sword in hand, you must abide by the unspoken rules!
Before you start fighting, you have to let out the wind, Dad is going to you today!
Then post a big hero post, report to your home to explain which party Lao Tzu is, who you want to do, who do you want to help, and drink and eat meat together when the time comes! Finally, make an appointment and start a group!
"This Wen Tiren is simply hateful, he dares to laugh at us!" Wen Zhenmeng slammed the table and said angrily.
"Zhen Meng is a little impulsive today!" Wu Zongda squinted and sighed.
"Why did Lord Wu say this?" Wen Zhenmeng was puzzled, no one is a fool! Especially to be able to enter the cabinet, who doesn't have two brushes. Wen Zhenmeng seems to be impulsive and domineering, but it is actually a kind of disguise for him.
"I'm afraid those two will be with you for a while in the future!" Wu Zongda pointed at Wen Zhenmeng.
"How is this possible, how can the emperor suddenly use eunuchs so much? Yesterday was because the emperor was sick, but today isn't it because of Concubine Li Kang's illness that the emperor's illness has worsened? Wen Zhenmeng was shocked and kept finding reasons.
"Zhenmeng, do you believe it?" Wu Zongda put down the teacup and smiled bitterly.
Wen Zhenmeng put away his suspicions, paced back and forth in the room, and asked in a low voice, "But I heard that the Buddhist sect is convincing, saying that the dragon vein has been beheaded, and there are even rumors that the dragon court is ......!" ”
"So it's just a rumor, if it's true, now the world is still the world of the Ming Dynasty, is Buddhism looking for death?" Wu Zongda shook his head with disdain, "In my guess, this is just those monks' gossip to confuse the public, you must know that the Jin Dynasty has merged with Mongolia, and there is not a branch of Buddhism standing behind Mongolia?" ”
Wen Zhenmeng's expression changed, "Lord Wu, are you talking ......, they really have such thoughts?" How could this be a Hu person! ”
"This is the palace, not my house, be cautious, be cautious!" Wu Zongda reminded in a whisper, and couldn't help but sigh, "Now the emperor is mostly pretending to be sick, deliberately putting government affairs in the hands of eunuchs and Wen Tiren, the emperor is so eager to deal with me, it should be because of the Taimiao matter, although the old man is loyal to my Ming court, but after all, he has committed a taboo, and the emperor can't tolerate me!" ”
"Lord Wu is dedicated to the country, why is the emperor here! Today is just the self-made opinion of this group of eunuchs, the emperor still has to rely on me Donglin, I will go to the emperor to report this later! "Wen Zhenmeng is Chongzhen's teacher, although the emperor has more teachers, but with this identity, he barely has an advantage over ordinary emperors who have been brainwashed by Confucianism.
"Alas, no! At this moment, the emperor may be angry, and it must be counterproductive to go to him now, what the old man can do now is to take a few more days with his dead face, and persist until Sun Chengzong enters the cabinet, Liaodong has not been calm, I guess that the emperor is probably preparing to let Sun Chengzong be the governor of Liaodong again, so reuse Sun Chengzong, the emperor should mainly want to deal with me, and he will definitely suppress Wen Tiren afterwards, when Sun Chengzong is there, plus you can respond from it, Wen Tiren will not be able to turn the sky! Wu Zongda spoke in detail.
"Lord Sun has already hit the road, Baoding is not far from the capital, it only takes two days to arrive!"
"The old man has gone through four dynasties, but he never thought that he would make a big mistake in the end, if the old man decisively confessed in Taimiao, maybe there would be no matter in Jingcha, and he would not give Wen Tiren a chance to continue to kill my Donglin Party members through Jingcha! In the end, people are old, forgetting that the emperor is a young man after all, and he is easy to be impulsive under anger, and the old man is not thoughtful! Wu Zongda sighed lightly and said regretfully.
He originally thought that after the introduction of the scapegoat, the emperor would not be held accountable if he could get by, because the Donglin Party had the strength to make mistakes!
But he didn't take into account the emperor's bloody nature, the young man was impulsive and reckless, and he was not afraid of causing an officialdom to shake up, which would make the Ming Dynasty even worse!
