Chapter 129 Intimidating the Donglin Party

"The Liaodong Army may be the strongest army in the Ming Dynasty now, but it would be good if they could hold the Shanhaiguan, how could they have the ability to go on the Northern Expedition - Bi Aiqing, just take care of your household."

Bi Ziyan shrank his neck: "It's Your Majesty, the minister has a lot of mouths." ”

The three scholars all understood what Zhu Youzhen meant, and Zhu Youzhen's abolition of the cabinet was not only to prevent the cabinet from refuting the holy decree issued by him, but also to put the six ministries directly under his jurisdiction.

Each of the six divisions in the future will have its own responsibilities, and no one can put his hand into other people's territory. In other words, Zhu Youjian will only discuss with the Ministry of Industry if he wants to build roads in the future; Zhu Youzhen had to spend money and only discussed with the household department; Zhu Youzhen wanted to fight, and only discussed with the military department; If Zhu Youzhen wants to appoint or dismiss officials, he only needs to discuss with the ministry, and the other ministries can't control it at all.

"Li Aiqing said just now that there are many people in the army, and it is difficult to prohibit the greed for ink, in fact, you don't have to manage every soldier at all. Take the 300,000 troops of the Beijing Division as an example, as long as you manage the eight army commanders well, they will naturally manage their respective division commanders well, and the division commanders will also manage their respective brigade commanders well, and so on, the squad leaders will also manage their respective soldiers well. Zhu Youzhen's face showed longing, "It is easy for a soldier to be promoted and make a fortune, and he can take military merits." ”

The most shocking thing in my heart is Li Chunye, who saw Zhu Youzhen's "assembly line production" in the Firearms Bureau, and now I hear Zhu Youzhen say "layer-by-layer management method", and that feeling is getting stronger and stronger: the more I know about Zhu Youzhen, the more I feel that I don't know much about Zhu Youzhen.

"Three Aiqing, do you understand their respective responsibilities?" Solving Li Chunye's confusion, Zhu Youzhen was finally ready to cut to the final topic.

"Your Ministers understand."

"There is one more thing," the lightness on Zhu Youzhen's face suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by the severity of the determination: "Party struggle has always been the way to destroy the country, and the Tang Dynasty prospered in the Guanlong family and died in the Guanlong family; The Han Dynasty died in the group of relatives and eunuchs. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't wait for the three of them to reply, and continued to say with a straight face: "No matter what you did in the past, you will act according to the rules and administer according to the law in the future. ”

"Your ministers obey the holy commandment."

Bi Ziyan was originally a centrist and had no penchant for forming a party.

Although Huang Liji and Li Chunye supported the eunuch party, the eunuch party is Wei Zhongxian's world, and now Wei Zhongxian is dead, and he has no leader, although they jointly impeached the Donglin Party last time, but it was Zhu Youzhen's connivance and inducement.

The eunuch party is now a loose group of interests, without greed for ink, without interest exchanges, Huang Liji and Li Chunye both understand that this loose group will soon disintegrate.

So the answer of the three people did not have any hesitation.

"I hope you will answer with your heart, not just verbally - Huang Aiqing, I ask you for a favor, there is a person named Huang Xiaofu, I will be able to use it in the future, you can arrange a position for him in the Ministry of Rites for the time being." Huang Xiaofu is Huang Er, and Zhu Youzhen suspected that his name could not be put on the stage, so he renamed him.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Please indicate what kind of position you want to arrange? Huang Liji didn't understand who Zhu Youzhen arranged, and thought it was Jinyiwei's secret agent.

"Hmm...... Let's serve in the Department of Host and Guest Officials! Zhu Youzhen said casually.

"The host and guest of the Qing Division?" Huang Liji was very surprised, this is responsible for receiving foreign guests, and it is a dispensable department of the Ministry of Rites. Daming has no contact with foreign countries, so the people of the host and guest Qing Officials Division are generally "a cup of tea, a cigarette, and a newspaper to read for a long time", since Zhu Youzhen recommended candidates, of course he should enter an important department to hold an important position.

"Huang Aiqing, Huang Xiaofu was not a court official before, so entering the Host and Guest Qing Officials Division is to study, Aiqing must supervise Huang Xiaofu's study first, and Huang Xiaofu second, don't bring bad habits in society into the Ministry of Rites."

"The minister commands." Since Zhu Youzhen insisted, Huang Liji did not object, it was most convenient to arrange manpower in the Host and Guest Clearance Division, as long as one was paid.

On December 6, Zhu Youzhen summoned Wang Yongguang, Qiao Yunsheng, and Li Changgeng at the same location in the Qianqing Palace.

At the beginning of the new emperor's establishment, the three fires had not yet been burned out, and no one dared to touch Zhu Youjian's moldy head.

The first few issues were unanimously supported by the three of them, including Zhu Youzhen's recommendation of Li Hongji to the Ministry of Officials, including Zhu Youzhen's request for the Ministry of Industry to build a cement road from Jingshi to Tongguan.

But Zhu Youzhen asked them to dissolve the Donglin Party, but the three of them hesitated.

"Your Majesty, Donglin Academy is a place for ministers to study, and ministers form a party, not for personal gain, but to share worries for the monarch and seek benefits for the people." Wang Yongguang euphemistically expressed his opposition to it.

"Worried about you? For the benefit of the people? Zhu Youzhen's liver fire rose, "Wang Aiqing, when Liaodong's military salary was insufficient, did you ever worry about the monarch?" When the people of Shaanxi changed their children and ate, did you ever seek benefits for the people? ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't do their best, it's just that the ministers don't have the strength. The reconstruction of Shaanxi, Donglin businessmen also strongly supported. The Donglin Party really emphasized righteousness, and Li Changgeng immediately spoke out in support of Wang Yongguang.

"Don't fight with me - the result of the car ** battle is your collective fight. There are still many people in the DPRK and China who have temporarily left their posts and are waiting to be replaced. ”

The Donglin Party people have a tendon in their brains, they are not afraid of Zhishi, they are not afraid of going to prison, and they are not even afraid of bloodshed, but Zhu Youzhen is angry, if they are now Zhishi, it must be the eunuch party, and the power of the eunuch party will definitely overshadow the Donglin party, and they cannot afford such a loss.

Zhu Youzhen's eyes swept fiercely over the faces of the three people one by one: "Shaanxi has been in drought for three consecutive years, and the victims are starving everywhere, where are you?" Is there a lot of power? And what are the more than 13 million taels of silver that you are greedy for? Li Aiqing, do you know how much grain can be bought with more than 13 million taels of silver? How many people on the verge of death can be saved? ”

There are indeed some people in the Donglin Party who are strong-standing, but they only have their own common interests in their eyes, and there is no court, country, or people at all.

Zhu Youzhen thought in his contemplation that day, in the history of later generations, "Chongzhen" was forced to ask the ministers for help when Li Zicheng's troops came to the city because he had no money to suppress bandits, but the Donglin Party, which was so rich, did not pull out a dime, knelt in front of "Chongzhen" one by one and cried poorly, and cried so much that "Chongzhen" comforted them......

However, after the city of Beijing was broken, Niu Jinxing and Li Guo under Li Zicheng scavenged more than 50 million taels of silver from the officials of Beijing.

After Zhu Youzhen killed Wei Zhongxian, because of the lack of silver in the household department, he played a game with the ministers, and within a few days, he looted more than 27 million taels of silver from the ministers. On a per capita basis, the Donglin Party also surpassed the Eunuch Party.

"This ......" Li Changgeng was red-faced, and he couldn't make a sound.

Qiao Yunsheng shook his sleeves and was about to say something to help, but was glared at by Zhu Youzhen's gaze, and finally didn't dare to speak.

"I don't care what academy I am, and I don't care about the normal interactions between ministers, but if I hear any more information such as 'Donglin giants, gathering', 'Donglin Party leaders, natural conspiracy', you just wait for the collective tribute!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." The three were forced to kowtow and admit their mistakes.

Since Zhu Youzhen came to power, the first fire was to cut off Wei Gelding and his gang; The second fire is to rectify the cancer of the Ming Dynasty over the past few hundred years -- the blatant greed for ink. This third fire isn't to dissolve Donglin Academy, right?

Zhu Youzhen even dared to kill Wei Zhongxian, who was so powerful, and even dared to completely rectify the unspoken rules of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, what else did he not dare?

Zhu Youzhen didn't care what these Donglin Party leaders were thinking, he waved his hand: "Go back!" I will not only look at your words, but also your actual actions.

"The ministers are leaving."

Wang Yongguang, Qiao Yunsheng, and Li Changgeng went out of the Qianqing Palace, and were blown by the northwest wind outside, only to find that they were all sweating profusely.

"Lord Wang, have you ever seen His Majesty's fierce gaze?" Qiao Yunsheng was frightened by Zhu Youzhen's gaze.

Wang Yongguang shook his head slowly, thinking of Zhu Youzhen's thunderous means of cutting off Wei Zhongxian's gang, he also shuddered: "Two adults, in the future, we will have less contact, and we will avoid the limelight first." ”

Qiao Yunsheng and Li Changgeng also nodded.

Zhu Youzhen didn't guess Wang Yongguang's thoughts, and he didn't have time to guess.

Tian Ergeng, who was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Purgatory, finally confessed that he had sent someone to assassinate Zhu Youzhen under the instruction of Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Youzhen was very interested in assassinating the leader of the men in black who assassinated him, especially when he said at that time, "People are in the rivers and lakes, how many things can fulfill people's wishes"? Moreover, he was not harmed by Yan Zhan at that time, but chose to escape into the woods, obviously not wanting to fight with himself.

Zhu Youzhen summoned the "five masters" of Jinyiwei on the empty gold brick ground outside the Qianqing Palace.

Now there are only four of them, and the second Ji Peng was killed by Wei Zhongxian because he was cut off by Zhu Youzhen and his identity was exposed, and he took it to Zhu Youxiao to apologize.

Because Zhu Youzhen met with martial arts masters, Jianghu figures, and the guards all looked very nervous, and they all loaded the flintlock pistols in their hands with good bullets, ready to protect Zhu Youzhen at any time, although the chief of the guards Fu Xiaojian did not have a flintlock pistol, he pressed his hand on the hilt of the long sword at his waist, ready to protect Zhu Youzhen at any time.

Tang Cheng was still dressed in black and pants, with a thin figure, looking like a jade tree facing the wind.

"Tang Cheng, introduce me to these masters!" If you don't fight or know each other, Zhu Youzhen and Tang have made a deal, and they are old acquaintances.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tang Cheng took a step forward, his heart was uneasy, he didn't know what Zhu Youzhen was going to do to them, others could say that he was the murderer who assassinated Zhu Youzhen.

"Stop." Fu Xiaojian stopped Tang Cheng and didn't let him get close to Zhu Youzhen.

Tang Cheng bowed his head from a safe distance: "Back to Your Majesty, Ling Feng on the left and Yan Ran on the right." ”

Ling Feng and Yan Ran took half a step forward and bowed to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen chuckled: "The one in the wheelchair must be the boss Bloomberg." ”

Peng Bo was dressed in a dark robe, wearing a dark wide-brimmed felt hat, sitting comfortably in a wheelchair, and he arched his hand to Zhu Youzhen, which was regarded as acquiescing to Zhu Youzhen's guess.

Tang Cheng spoke much more humbly: "Back to Your Majesty, he is Peng Bo, but this person is also the first time I have seen it." ”

"For the first time? Why? Aren't you five brothers? ”
