readx; Zhu Youzhen is not familiar with Qian Longxi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn fact, Qian Longxi had previously served as the right attendant of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and he was a typical idle official. Two years ago, because he offended Wei Zhongxian, he was also cut to the people, and he just recovered not long ago and served as the right attendant of the ministry.

But to Zhu Youzhen's surprise, Qian Longxi was unanimously elected by all the important ministers, thinking that others could be elected by means of divination, and only Qian Longxi must enter the cabinet. And not only the Donglin Party, but also Lai Zongdao, Sun Chengzong, Wang Zaijin, Yuan Keli and others also highly respected Qian Longxi.

Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to slack off, and asked the officials to transfer Qian Longxi's resume to watch it in detail, and then he understood a little. It turned out that Qian Longxi was a Jinshi in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, and he was forty-eight years old this year, which was the time of his prime. He is also one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, but compared with other Donglin Party members, his views on various government affairs are often superior, and he is humble and principled, and dares to take responsibility, so even if he is not a member of the Donglin Party, he is also very respected.

Zhu Youzhen's attitude toward the Donglin Party is somewhat contradictory. On the one hand, he respected the spirit of the "Six Gentlemen of Donglin", and also admitted that many officials in the Donglin Party were very talented; On the other hand, the Donglin Party is also a party with different parties, trying to form a huge group of officials to control the government. If the control is good, it will be fine, but history has proved that the Donglin Party only cares about forming a party, and often talks more about state affairs than on practical work, and as a result, after the fall of the eunuch party and the return of the Donglin Party to power, the Ming Dynasty died in less than 20 years. Although the reasons for the demise of the country are very complicated, the Donglin Party cannot escape the blame.

Therefore, he did not dislike Qian Longxi, but he felt very uncomfortable with the situation that all the cabinet members were from the Donglin Party.

Seeing the name Qian Qianyi, Zhu Youzhen was even more angry. His fame in history is much better than that of Qian Longxi, but it is infamy.

This person was born in a famous family, his family was very wealthy, he was famous for his poetry and writing, he was recognized as a leader in the literary world, and he was also a member of the Donglin Party, and he had a very high reputation in the government and the opposition. What is especially interesting is that at the age of more than 50, he married Liu Ruyi, a famous prostitute who was only 20 years old and one of the "Qin Huai Bayan", which was even more popular among literati.

However, although the Donglin Party members were pedantic and the party struggle was fierce, after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the vast majority of them were able to maintain their national integrity, either fighting hard and dying unyieldingly, or retreating to the mountains and forests and refusing to clear up.

As the so-called "the time is poor", this world-famous Qian Qianyi finally exposed his nature of being greedy for life and afraid of death, and two-faced. After the death of the Ming Dynasty, many officials committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water to clarify their ambitions, and Qian Qianyi also pretended to throw himself into the water. He and Liu Ru were boating in the lake, and after drinking the wine, Liu Ruyi was about to pull him into the water, but Qian Qianyi was really reluctant to die, and said after a deep sigh: "The water is too cold tonight, the old man is weak and unbearable, let's come back another day." ”

Liu Ru was so disappointed that she had to retreat and ask Qian Qianyi not to clear things up, and Qian Qianyi agreed. But within a few days, he took the initiative to shave his hair, which was a very clear indication that he was going to clear it. When Liu Ru angrily questioned him, he patted his bare forehead and said eloquently, "Isn't this also comfortable?" ”

In the end, Qian Qianyi served as the head of the Ministry of Rites of the Qing Dynasty, and also served as the vice president of the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and did his best to distort and scandalize the Ming Dynasty. Such a servile person was not only despised by the Han Chinese, but also by the Manchus. In the Qianlong Dynasty, Qian Qianyi was included in the "Biography of the Second Minister", and together with Hong Chengchou, who was defeated by the Qing Dynasty, he ended up being a person inside and out, leaving a reputation for eternity. And her knots are not as good as a former technician, Liu Ruyi, which is even more despicable.

What Zhu Youzhen hates most is traitors. Although these bad things of Qian Qianyi have not happened so far, there is a saying that "the country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change", if history comes to that point again, a shameless literati like Qian Qianyi will definitely still betray the country to seek glory. Therefore, when other members of the Donglin Party entered the cabinet, Zhu Youzhen was just not very comfortable, but it was not unacceptable; Only with this Qian Qianyi, Zhu Youzhen is iron-hearted, and he must not let him succeed.

Moreover, Zhu Youzhen has always wanted to carry out drastic reforms of the institutions and officials of the imperial court, and now Enke has taken the first step with 6,000 scholars; As the cabinet at the pinnacle of power, Zhu Youzhen also had a plan, but the ministers didn't know it yet.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and on this morning, the "Divination Ceremony" was held as scheduled. Except for Cheng Ji, who was not in Beijing because he went to Sichuan and Guizhou to supervise the army, all the candidate members gathered in the court.

Qian Longxi and Qian Qianyi, who had just recovered, were also in the court. Although Qian Qianyi bowed his head respectfully, his heart was irrepressibly proud and excited. In order to squeeze into the list of divination, he has taken great pains these days to make a big conspiracy within the Donglin Party, and finally got his wish.

But there are more than 20 people on the list, and it is impossible for there to be so many cabinet members. In order to ensure that he could enter the cabinet, Qian Qianyi actually made small moves behind everyone's back.

It turned out that this "Bu" was presided over by Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry. The official system of this era is very peculiar, it stands to reason that there should be only one person in the six books, in fact, it is indeed one person in charge, and now the real official book is Sun Chengzong.

However, in addition to this official position, there is also a large number of "leader" phenomena, that is, an official of a lower rank receives a higher official rank, thereby obtaining the fortune and prestige of a higher official rank. Like Yuan Chonghuan, who was dismissed not long ago, he was originally the governor of Liaodong, but he also received the title of secretary of the military department, so he likes to call himself "the main department".

The same is true of this Wang Yongguang. Although he is an official and mediocre, he has been up and down for many years, has profound qualifications, and has also received the title of secretary of the ministry. Now the Manchu Dynasty is the oldest and the most qualified, and the courtiers are also quite dissatisfied with Sun Chengzong because of the recent events, so they pushed Wang Yongguang to preside over the Bu and put Sun Chengzong, the real Shangshu, aside.

And Qian Qianyi found Wang Yongguang privately and promised him a favor to make some means when he was divining. Wang Yongguang had a ghost in his heart, and first said to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, there are more than 20 candidates, and it is still the usual case, four cabinet ministers should be elected, with the elder as the first assistant, and the rest in order of age. Please, can you start now? ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded with a smile and said, "Lord Shangshu, please." However, since the ministers recommended Qian Longxi into the cabinet, I followed everyone's opinion, and Qian Longxi was directly selected without a divination. ”

Wang Yongguang then picked up the wooden box used for divination, and in the box was a wooden strip engraved with the names of more than 20 candidates, basically the same as the bamboo sticks used in the temple to seek Buddha.

Wang Yongguang first took out the wooden strip engraved with Qian Longxi's name, and then shook the wooden box with care. In a moment, a wooden strip came out of the box, and Wang Yongguang picked it up and read it aloud: "Qian Qianyi!" ”

The ministers were in a commotion, and they were envious, jealous and hateful, and Qian Qianyi himself was of course complacent. Zhu Youzhen didn't expect to be the first to pull Qian Qianyi out, and was thinking about what excuse to prevent him from entering the cabinet, when a minister suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, Qian Qianyi has a poor character, don't be a cabinet minister!" ”
