Of course, the cabinet has the right to return the holy decree, but what reason do you have to seal and return Chongzhen's holy decree, so that Chongzhen will not pay silver? Or don't let the brocade guard escort you? But such a reason is absurd, it is a hundred people who deliberately oppose Chongzhen, that is looking for death.

When Zhou Yanru saw this holy decree, his head was big at that time, and he hurriedly invited several other ministers to discuss countermeasures.

This secret meeting was held in the small conference room next to the duty room, and when the meeting was held, Zhou Yanru personally ordered that no one should be left around the conference room.

After Zhou Yanru handed over the holy decree to several other ministers to read, he began to speak:

"Ministers, what do you think should happen at this time?"

The following cabinet ministers felt that this matter was really difficult to solve, and everyone wanted to float three layers according to the rules, and they wanted not to be discovered by Chongzhen, but this time it was Jinyiwei who escorted the silver, except that the Jinyiwei officials who escorted were willing to go along with them, otherwise they wouldn't want to drift into the third layer according to the old rules.

He Rupet is relatively old, and he has reached the age of Zhishi, so he still dares to speak:

"Lord Shoupu, it's not easy to solve at this time, it's better for us not to float this time, just send all the money to Shanxi."

This...... This is a rule-breaking, but He Rupet doesn't care anymore, anyway, he is in his sixties, and he doesn't care about these drifts.

"No"

After Wu Zongda hurriedly took the conversation, he began to tell his reason:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is not an example! This time, we have allocated the full amount, if the other military towns know about it, they are also clamoring for the full allocation, how can we deal with it?

So this example must not be opened, the rules must not be broken, we are trying to find a way. ”

When you think about it, this is indeed the case! At this time, Wen Tiren began to speak:

"Lord Shoupu, it's better to be like this, I heard that Yang Tingjian is a disciple of a saint, and he is also a new branch Xie Yuan in Zhejiang, so it is better for me to go to Yang Tingjian and talk about it."

When Wen Tiren said this, everyone suddenly woke up, yes! If the Jinyi Guard escorted this time drifted away with them, then this matter would not be a problem.

Besides, Yang Tingjian is going to take the examination immediately, and most of the examiners for the examination are selected by the cabinet ministers.

In fact, Wen Tiren was respectful to Zhou Yanru on the surface, and he had long wanted to oust Zhou Yanru in his heart, but Wen Tiren's current strength was not enough.

The strategy he proposed was indeed an effective method, and Yang Tingjian would most likely succumb to them, after all, Yang Tingjian was going to grab the silver, and the little silver they had drifted away could be made up at will.

Is Wen Tiren selfless? That's impossible, but no one else will know Wen Tiren's official intentions.

The history of the Ming Dynasty included Wen Tiren in the legend of traitorous ministers, and the folk songs during the Chongzhen period [The Ministry of Rites reopened the heavenly list, and the champion explored the flower list, and was a little frightened. The cabinet turned into a brothel, and the turtle Wang Ba (Wang Yingxiong) slice (Wu Zongda) always suffered from the plague. It is a reflection of the situation in which Wen Tiren was in power (the overall situation of the government that tried to crack down on cheaters and the government did not improve). Generally speaking, during the reign of Wen Tiren, the war in Liaodong and the situation of the Ming Dynasty did not change significantly. He is rich in danger, but he is not able to turn the tide, and he is responsible.

Zhou Yanru was very satisfied with Wen Tiren's expression, and nodded immediately:

"Then Yang Tingjian, everyone should have seen it, that is, the last time we went to see His Majesty in the Qianqing Palace to dig up the silver, I asked His Majesty to allocate one hundred taels of silver to the household, but His Majesty refused, or that Yang Tingjian spoke for me, and His Majesty was forced to agree, I don't know if you still remember."

"Oooh...... I remembered it, that night was good! ”

"Uh-huh...... After all, everyone is a saint disciple, and I think Yang Tingjian must be waiting for me. ”

“…… I heard that he is going to participate in this exam, so can we give him some sweetness? ”

"I think it should be possible...... Isn't it true that my generation has been cold for ten years just to jump through the dragon gate? ”

All right! There is no doubt that politics is a compromise and a deal.

After the end of this cabinet meeting, Zhou Yanru temporarily suppressed the holy decree, if Chongzhen asked, Zhou Yanru also had a corresponding statement, such as the household department is liquidating the autumn tax, or is inventorying, etc., there are many reasons.

That night, Yang Tingjian had just come back from Yang Sichang, and he received an invitation from Wen Tiren, which made Yang Tingjian a little puzzled, and secretly thought:

"What's the matter, I'm just a self-depraved person who is said by those literati, but why would these bigwigs of the imperial court invite me, and even the cabinet shop came to invite, it's a bit unbelievable."

Yang Tingjian can't figure out the joints, play tricks, play politics, Yang Tingjian is definitely not the opponent of these old bureaucrats, Yang Tingjian doesn't know what Wen Tiren invited him to do, and Yang Tingjian can't refuse such an invitation, this is the so-called people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes.

Yang Tingjian, who had already drunk a little too much, had just entered the door with his front foot, and immediately rushed to Wen Tiren's mansion by carriage.

This time, Yang Tingjian was not treated with the middle door open, but entered through the small side door, Wen Tiren is the second shop after all, you Yang Tingjian can be a person, and the official position of Jinyiwei should not be displayed in front of these cabinet bosses.

After Yang Tingjian entered Wen Tiren's mansion, he found that the house was really dilapidated, only two feet deep, and it was an ordinary blue brick house, and there was a stone mill in the courtyard, and a mill, a thin donkey was pulling the mill, and a servant kept pouring wheat into the stone mill at the edge of the stone mill.

This...... This is the home of the second shop, which is not as good as the well-off home of the Beijing Division! This is indeed the case, Wen Tiren was famous for not being greedy for ink and being honest in the late Ming Dynasty, and it is conceivable that the family is poor, of course, Wen Tiren should still take the share of profits.

Corrupt officials are not necessarily dumb officials, such as Kou Zhun and Zhang Juzheng, they are all corrupt officials, but their political achievements are outstanding. Qing officials do not necessarily have ability, such as Hai Rui, in addition to being honest, he does not have many commendable achievements.

There are even clean officials who bring disaster to the country and the people, such as Wen Tiren, he is not greedy for ink and is relatively honest, but this person is keen on party struggle, keen on the struggle for power, and puts the interests of the country under his personal rights, and as a result, Wen Tiren buried the last hope of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, when the Miao Revolution in Yunnan Province, Shoufu Gao Heng pushed the greedy Yin Zhengmao to quell the rebellion, I gave him 1 million taels, even if he was greedy for half of it, the matter could be solved immediately, if he sent a clean official, he might not be greedy for one tael, but even if he gave 2 million taels, the matter could not be solved.

With regard to the historical merits and demerits of clean and corrupt officials, we must not only regard their personal behavior as the only criterion for evaluating their historical status, but should refer to whether or not this person has not made important contributions to the entire country and the entire nation.
