Chapter 16 Profiteer Chongzhen
Under the 'friendly consultation' between Qin Hao and Chongzhen, Chongzhen agreed, Gongsun Chan was saved, and Qin Hao's heart could be regarded as letting go of a big stone.
It's just that keeping Gongsun Chan is far from being as simple as Chongzhen nodding, and he also needs to face the opposition of the ministers.
In less than a day, Chongzhen received a dozen large baskets, all of which demanded that Gongsun Zan and Sun Chengzong be severely punished, and the words were fierce and exaggerated, as if these two were the first traitors since enlightenment.
Before they could discuss a countermeasure, they were stunned to receive the second urgent report, Sun Chengzong directly became the secretary of the military department, and the people had been added, and Gongsun Zan had completely taken over the defense of Liaodong and became the de facto first governor of Liaodong.
They didn't even do a fart, the dust had already settled over there, the former secretary of the military department was smoked on the spot, Sun Chengzong became the secretary of the military department, what is he?
At this time, the fool can also see that this is the emperor's meaning, this is a clear plan to protect people, although Chongzhen's move is really not like his character, but the dust has settled, there is no way.
The ministers were not only not afraid at this time, but they all went to the book, turned the muzzle of the gun and began to kill Chongzhen himself, the Ming Dynasty has always had a fine tradition of working against the emperor, not only the capital, but almost all the officials in the three provinces of the two capitals are impeached, and the words are sharp, and Qin Hao is amazed, as if Chongzhen does not change his mind, he will become a man in the world.
This result is expected by everyone, of course, it is not that these officials have nothing to do, but there is a national problem, and this problem is a real matter of principle for them.
The Ming Dynasty was an out-and-out civilian regime, the so-called civilian regime, as the name suggests, is that the civilian officials hold absolute power, the military attachΓ© dog is not as good, the central government holds absolute power, and the local fart is not.
Since the Tumubao Incident, the strength of the nobles has been greatly reduced, the military has always been the object of suppression by the civil officials, these civil officials are full of food and support, they can do anything, it is all my credit to manage it, and it is the responsibility of your military attachΓ©s to manage it badly, and the Ming Dynasty has never rebelled in the past three hundred years, and this system is indispensable.
Now Gongsun Zhan's approach has broken through their bottom line, we big masters don't know anything, you dare to kill more than 300 people over there? Do you still have us in your eyes? Do you still look at our entire civilian clique?
Where are you putting the Cabinet? Where is the Manchu Dynasty civil and military?
This is no longer a simple Liaodong issue, but a civil and military dispute that has once again set off after a lapse of 150 years.
All the civil servants are unprecedentedly united, what eunuch party Donglin Party, in the face of the civil and military disputes, unified to the outside world, the song is one after another to the top, today you stay in the middle of the approval, tomorrow I will continue to hand.
The cabinet won't do anything else, wholeheartedly spray Chongzhen, if you don't give us a satisfactory explanation, you won't want to do anything!
They have used this trick countless times, it can be said that it has been tried and tested repeatedly, if you don't approve it today, you will have to approve it sooner or later, no matter how awesome the emperor is, someone has to help you govern the country, right?
And once the civil official system is twisted into a rope, this force is very terrifying, Chongzhen wasted countless efforts to make the ministers attack each other, and worked together to build the country The goal has not been achieved, I don't want them to achieve it spontaneously today.
It's a pity that it was not Huang Taiji who twisted these grandsons into a rope, but Chongzhen himself.
These people are full of confidence, with their understanding of Chongzhen, Chongzhen will only hold on for three days at most, and they will agree with their opinion, remove Sun Chengzong and kill Gongsun Zhan, and the people appointed and dismissed before will not be counted.
Of course, the result will not be as they expected, Chongzhen is still very business-ethical, since he said that he will protect Sun Zhan, he will definitely protect it to the end, so all the twists and turns will sink into the sea, and they will not be released.
At this time, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were even more excited, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty almost took all the stinky faults of intellectuals to the extreme.
So, the scene of the Jiajing New Year's ceremony was repeated again, and more than 200 old men knelt down outside Chongzhen's door, begging Chongzhen to take back his life, and said that if Chongzhen did not agree to take back his life, they would kneel and die here and not get up.
Qin Hao hid in the house in a hurry, kept walking around the hall in circles, and from time to time glanced at a group of old men outside along the crack in the door, and was even more frightened, Chongzhen was calm, and actually drew leisurely with a brush.
"Immortals, help me see, how is my painting?"
Qin Hao was so anxious that he circled around Chongzhen and said, "I said my long live lord, you are really calm, you should think of a way." β
Chongzhen smiled: "What can I do, now you know why I want to give up Gongsun Zhan, or I will remove him?" β
"When is it, you're still joking, I've given you all the charts, you can't talk and don't count, you have to find a way, aren't you the Ninth Five-Year Honor, aren't you dictatorial, aren't you quite dictatorial."
"You can't let me fight with them directly, let them kneel, this kind of thing has to be delayed, drag on for three or five months, freeze to death ten or eight, this matter will be over, and then Gongsun Chan should join the company, fight and fight, and there will be no mistakes."
Qin Hao was in a hurry, "Don't! You can drag it, I can't drag it, Gongsun Chan doesn't join the company for a day, he won't be a Ming person for a day, I have to spend dragon energy to protect him, three or five months, my dragon energy will bottom out, and when the time comes, the sky will send a thunderbolt to kill the two of us, you will be happy, right? β
Chongzhen said: "Okay, I really haven't seen a living person struck by thunder, are you afraid of slashing with lightning even if you don't die?" Show one for me to see. β
Qin Hao was about to turn his face on the spot, Chongzhen hurriedly stopped and smiled: "Okay, okay, I'm kidding you, this situation is not once or twice in my Ming Dynasty, and there is a big ceremony during the reign of Sejong, which is much more than this meeting, do you know how he did it?" β
"How?"
"He found a person who supported his name Zhang Xuan to be the first assistant of the cabinet, and asked Zhang Xuan to fight with them, and soon the matter passed."
"Okay, then you can find someone quickly, time is gold, hurry up."
Chongzhen turned his face blank and said solemnly: "How important is the first assistant of the cabinet, now is not the reign of Sejong, you can just find someone to put him on and let him mess around, if something really happens, if you don't get it right, it will endanger my country." β
"Then why don't you find someone who has the ability?"
"But my Ming Dynasty didn't have the same head as me, and there are still capable people."
βγγγγγγγγγγ If you want me to find the head of the cabinet, you can just say it. β
"But I'm shy in my pocket, and the dragon spirit is thin."
As he spoke, Chongzhen showed the treacherous smile of a standard profiteer.
