Wen Tiren is a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, and relying on his qualifications, he has now also survived to the position of the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, due to the fact that Li Mingrui, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, and he is also added by the prince Shaobao, and he is on duty in the Xinuan Pavilion, so he, the left attendant, is almost a cold bench in the Ministry of Rites.

But Wen Tiren, who can be the head of the cabinet in the Chongzhen Dynasty, is by no means a mediocre person.

Whether the Donglin Party is in power, the Eunuch Party is in power, or now His Majesty Zhu Youxiao is alone, he has always stood tall and been promoted step by step.

Zhu Youxiao naturally also knew that Wen Tiren was a figure among the ministers of the Central Court of the current dynasty, and he also knew about him in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't plan to move him, first, he had no time to take care of this old oilman in the officialdom who was still a left servant, and second, Wen Tiren was not a Donglin party.

Today is the day of the mid-year holiday, Wen Tiren did not go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, but went straight to Liu Zongzhou's mansion.

The matter of the imperial court's desire to negotiate peace with the Manchurian Jin State has already become an uproar, and the verbal and written criticism in the major newspapers and periodicals has become a spreading trend, and supporters and non-supporters have their own set of arguments.

But because of His Majesty's attitude of wanting to negotiate peace, most of the ministers did not dare to go directly to the fold, and only Liu Zongzhou was the one who was folded.

Therefore, Wen Tiren thought of visiting Liu Zongzhou, a famous minister of science, and asked him why he dared to be the first person.

Wen Tiren is low-key, but he doesn't provoke, and now no one knows his temperament, and because of this, he and Liu Zongzhou also have a good relationship.

"Peace talks with Huang Taiji are a matter of His Majesty's appoint, why do you want to risk the disapproval of the world to touch the dragon scales, although the ministers of the DPRK and China have commented in the newspaper, but they do not dare to refute it, why do you bother?"

Wen Tiren sighed slightly, feeling sorry for Liu Zongzhou, looking at the wind and rain outside the window, he couldn't help but read a sad poem.

Liu Zongzhou saw that Wen Tiren was so concerned about him, but he also had a good impression of him, so he said: "Some things always need people to do, this peace negotiation is not a simple matter, if I Liu Zongzhou does not stand up, I am afraid that the scholars and doctors in the world will really sink." ”

Wen Tiren looked at Liu Zongzhou in amazement: "How can you say this, above the court, Huang Daozhou disobeyed His Majesty, and the ministers attacked him one after another, but you didn't stand up, why did you say such generous and outspoken words at this time?" ”

"You don't know, Your Majesty's personal sacrifice to the filial piety tomb is both filial piety and loyalty to the community, he Huang Daozhou's opposition to His Majesty's personal sacrifice to the filial piety tomb is contrary to human morality, and it is naturally not a pity for his person to be punished, however, this time is different, if His Majesty once he talks with Huang Taiji, with His Majesty's ambition and ambition, Brother Changqing thinks that his next opponent will be targeted?"

Liu Zongzhou asked with a smile.

Wen Tiren hurriedly stood up and bowed and said, "Please make it clear." ”

Seeing that Wen Tiren was so humble, Liu Zongzhou proudly brushed up his beard under his chin:

"Naturally, it is you and me who are the gentry, since these days, Your Majesty has strengthened Jinyiwei and Dongchang, trained the new army, fought against the Donglin Party, and confiscated the Jin merchants, all of which shows that Your Majesty intends to rejuvenate the Ming Dynasty and carry out the great policy of reforming the old and eliminating the new, but please think about it, who is the biggest obstacle to the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty today?"

Without waiting for Wen Tiren to answer, Liu Zongzhou immediately stood up and said sharply:

"It's us scholars!"

Wen Tiren saw Liu Zongzhou's indignant appearance, so he pretended to be surprised and asked for advice.

Liu Zongzhou continued:

"With the thunderous temperament of His Majesty today, but he still has to negotiate peace with the Tartars, the purpose of which is to free up his hands to expel us scholars who occupy the fields from the court, since the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Your Majesty's kindness to the common people has gradually deepened, either reducing taxes or spending huge sums of money for disaster relief, and suppressing the scholars, and its closeness to the common people to suppress the gentry is obvious!"

Wen Tiren didn't expect Liu Zongzhou to make such shocking remarks, he looked at Liu Zongzhou with a surprised face, and by the way, he praised Liu Zongzhou with a few words of sudden enlightenment.

Liu Zongzhou became more and more smug, and his mouth was unabashed: "Can Changqing know Zhang Jiangling back then?" ”

"I don't know how to know that the powerful ministers of the Wanli Dynasty are still talked about by the scholars and doctors, and there are even imperial historians who have rehabilitated them."

As soon as Wen Tiren said this, Liu Zongzhou sighed: "During the Wanli period, a Zhang Jiangling caused a disaster for us scholars and doctors for ten years, and now the person who wants to oppose the scholars is His Majesty, and the troubles brought by it are only bigger than Zhang Jiangling." ”

Wen Tiren couldn't help but let out a sneer, and secretly said that this Liu Zongzhou was really crazy, but he still couldn't help but ask curiously: "According to what Niantai said, Your Majesty and the Tartars negotiated peace, and the bureaucrats and gentry in the whole world should oppose it, why are there many ministers in the DPRK and China, and even many important ministers choose to stand on His Majesty's side, but it is Niantai, although there are many responders, they are all light-hearted?" ”

"Hmph, these flattering people who only care about their immediate interests, after stealing a high position, they all look forward to His Majesty, and the government is becoming more and more corrupt because of their group of sycophants! Our doctor was also suppressed by the factory guards again because of these traitors! ”

Liu Zongzhou's remarks shocked Wen Tiren, and at the same time, he bowed to Liu Zongzhou by surrendering his identity: "Brother Niantai's wisdom and foresight, foolish brother is not as good as it, if there are more upright ministers like Brother Niantai, how can the government be so corrupted, however, Brother Niantai also has to worry about his own life, although His Majesty is a wise and benevolent king, but there are many villains in the court, be careful of causing trouble." ”

Listening to Wen Tiren's euphemistic advice, Liu Zongzhou was also very moved and sighed again.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about the opinions of these courtiers about the peace negotiation at all, and he was now summoning Chen Shi, a reviewer of the Hanlin Academy and an academician of the Royal Academy of Engineering, with the Qianqing Palace, nicknamed Chen Shitou.

Zhu Youxiao's deviant behavior has long been commonplace in the eyes of the ministers, so no one finds it strange anymore.

Like Emperor Xuande's good weaving, the ministers at most said that His Majesty is naturally a virtuous king, but there are also some playthings that are demoralized.

It was the first time that Chen Shi wore the official uniform of the Hanlin Academy to enter the Forbidden City and came to the Qianqing Palace, which made him very flattered.

In his opinion, this seems to be the treatment that only has to be given to the scholars in the Wenqu stars, although his current knowledge, especially in the natural sciences, has far surpassed that of some Jinshi masters who claim to be rich in learning, but this Chen Leper is still a little apprehensive, especially when he sees His Majesty the Emperor in a bright yellow robe sitting on it, he can't help but bend down to bow down.

When Liu Ruoyu, the celebrant of the celebrant of ceremonies, picked him up and said that he was already a Hanlin official and did not need to make such a big salute, he nodded woodenly.

Zhu Youxiao did not have the slightest ridicule because of this, and wanted to make Daming science and technology the mainstream of promoting social production instead of relying on the interest of a few scholars to promote, and he wanted him, the emperor, to personally improve the status and dignity of these scientific and technological workers.

He didn't bother to pay attention to what the officials said, even if he was infamous as a plaything, he didn't care.
