Chapter 88: Yuan Chonghuan
Shi Kefa, who had just finished the first session of the examination, like other exam-takers, also came to the vegetable market to watch the execution, and saw that the well-known scholars in the past were now the souls of the swords. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shi Kefa, who had always taken them as an example, was a little difficult to accept in his heart, and couldn't help but say to a person next to him who looked a little older:
"Duke Yuan, His Royal Highness King Xin has always been known for his wisdom, why is he also helping to abuse the Emperor now, and he will serve as a supervisor and behead these loyal people", the elder Shi Kefa asked was the former Liaodong Governor Yuan Chonghuan.
Yuan Chonghuan was past the age of confusion at this time, and he looked energetic, wearing Fan Yanglia on his head, stroking his beard under his chin: "Xianzhi (Shi Kefa character Xianzhi), let me ask you, is the son of today the brother of His Royal Highness King Xin?" β
Shi Kefa nodded.
"Since it is, then these so-called loyal people, who intend to harm the king, are they considered loyal and righteous people?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.
Shi Kefa couldn't help arguing: "However, they are all because His Majesty is stupid now, and they want to raise another meritocracy, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty!" β
But they did do a rebellious thing! You have to admit that no matter whether Your Majesty is virtuous or stupid, but he is always a king, and those who are ministers can admonish him, and even learn from Hai Gangfeng to scold him, but not the other way around, now these former colleagues have violated the rules of loyalty to the monarch although they are selfless, so they are guilty! β
Yuan Chonghuan would not have thought that he would have such an end in another period of history at this time, and the punishment he faced was the same as that of Ning Wan.
"Even if they are guilty, they are not guilty to death, and since ancient times, they can't punish doctors, and they must be traitors in the DPRK and China who slandered His Majesty to do this", Shi Kefa still can't accept these Donglin Party members who are usually full of benevolence and morality but bear the name of chaotic ministers and thieves at this time, and subconsciously blame the culprits on other forces.
"Whether there are traitors in the court, don't jump to conclusions lightly, just like whether Your Majesty is stupid today, it can only be commented by future generations, the duty of being a courtier is to be a good minister, these people are too radical, and even want to take Your Majesty's life, and if you want to take your life, you will let them die, because above the court, you are either dead or I live, you have not yet entered the office, and when you become an official in the future, you will know the stakes here, but with your character, it is better not to stay in the capital."
Yuan Chonghuan's words benefited Shi Kefa very much, he couldn't help arching his hand towards Yuan Chonghuan, and asked: "Thank you Yuan Gong for mentioning it, Xianzhi has learned it, and I also know that Yuan Gongji is hanging on the Liaodong War, but the student believes that when Li Zhongyun and His Majesty see your Pingliao Policy, they will definitely reactivate you." β
Yuan Chonghuan nodded, he was originally a member of the Donglin Party and had a withdrawn personality, so now there is no one in the DPRK as an Austrian aid, and the only mentor Sun Chengzong has been transferred to a foreign post, fortunately, Li Mingrui is out of the same door as him, if he wants to make his painstaking work reach the heavens, he can only follow Li Mingrui's path.
However, although he was also a protΓ©gΓ© of Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, who used to be infinitely beautiful, did not notice Li Mingrui, Li Mingrui had visited him many times, and he also refused on the pretext, but now he has to change it and change it to ask to see Li Mingrui.
Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan also had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was not even interested in watching the punishment, so he couldn't help but say: "Let's go, go to the teahouse to rest first, I will not be able to cut it for a while, and then I will order the little servant to buy a few pieces of meat." β

Today is the day of the last dynasty, although Zhu Youxiao has re-established his absolute prestige among the courtiers, but in order to let the ministers see his Zhu Youxiao's hard work, when it is time to go to the court, Zhu Youxiao will still meet.
Although the court is more of a symbol of etiquette and a manifestation of the king's diligence, it will also perform affairs and handle some government affairs.
In fact, there is only one thing to be done at this court meeting, that is, the scholars of the Cabinet of Tingtui, since the series of political turmoil in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, there are not many scholars on duty who remain in the cabinet.
Therefore, what the ministers desperately want now is to be able to enter a few more universities, which is the lifelong pursuit of civil officials, and as the emperor Zhu Youxiao, he has no intention of hindering them from achieving their goals in life.
Moreover, due to the eradication of the scourge of the party, the relationship between the monarch and the minister is no longer very harmonious, and in order to mend the relationship between the monarch and the minister and win over most of the courtiers, Zhu Youxiao even deliberately asked for a few more cabinet scholars.
Anyway, now the power center of the empire has been concentrated in the Xinuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and if you are not included in the Xinuan Pavilion, even the cabinet scholars cannot participate in the core affairs of the empire.
Therefore, it has no impact on Zhu Youxiao's imperial power, and there are more scholars, so it is better to restrain each other.
Qian Qianyi, the third-rank official who stood in the middle of the group and was not too high, that is, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, looked a little girly, but now that he has no children and grandchildren, he looks even more feminine, and even his lips are red, I don't know if he was deliberately wiped, but this does not affect him to become the first popular candidate for a cabinet scholar.
"Qian Qianyi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, got seven red beans and two black beans, so he was allowed to enter the cabinet to prepare for the machine, worship the scholar of the East Pavilion, and promote the Ministry of Rites."
After Zhu Youxiao said it, Qian Qianyi hurriedly thanked him, and at the same time, Wei Guangwei, the first assistant of the cabinet, took the opportunity to recommend Li Mingrui as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites to make up for Qian Qianyi's shortcomings, and Zhu Youxiao also complied.
However, Li Mingrui took out a fold from his sleeve after thanking him: "Your Majesty, Weichen has something to play, and Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Liaodong, has asked his ministers to present a volume of Ping Liaoce, please read it to Your Majesty." β
Ping Liaoce? Zhu Youxiao was slightly stunned, and said in his heart: "This restless Yuan Chonghuan still didn't endure loneliness, and in the end he still offered Pingliao Ce, but he can't really believe that he can level Liao for five years like Chongzhen in history, and he also gave him the Shangfang sword, so that Mao Wenlong also died in his hands, and the situation in Liaodong became more and more critical, and even in the second year of Chongzhen, the Manchu Tartars also surrounded the capital, although Yuan Chonghuan was subdued by Chongzhen, but I have to admit it, This Yuan Chonghuan is a person who has a big mouth, but does unreliable things and harms himself. β
"Take it", Zhu Youzhen said, and handed Li Mingrui's fold over with a small yellow door, and the first thing Zhu Youxiao looked at after taking it was: "Five years".
"Full of scholarly opinions!"
Zhu Youzhen glanced at it, and he was a little unliked, and threw the fold away and said: "Tell Yuan Chonghuan that it is not his turn to guide the major affairs in the DPRK and China, don't think that I don't know his thoughts, he wants to control the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, hum, it is difficult to swallow more silver, if he really has the determination to serve the Ming Dynasty to kill the Tartars, now it happens that Jianyu is fighting our subordinate Korea, and the Li family has sent people to ask for help several times, I have no way to support them, in this case, I can give him 3,000 soldiers to support North Korea." β
