Stretching out his hand again to help Sun Chengzong up, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Aiqing, I believe in your ability very much, and I also believe in your loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. ”

The official department is a heavenly official, in charge of the official hat of officials of all sizes in the country, and the position can be said to be very important. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to reform the rule of officials and clarify the court, and a selfless and capable secretary of the Ministry of Rites was indispensable.

Sun Chengzong didn't expect Emperor Chongzhen to ask himself this question, he had just appointed his military secretary, and now he had to inquire about his minister's book, Sun Chengzong deeply felt the trust of Emperor Chongzhen, and his heart was more determined to contribute to the country.

"The official department is a heavenly official of the six ministries, and his authority is very heavy, at this time, he should choose a person who has both talent and morality, and has no party affiliation!" Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "Originally, Han Yi was the most suitable candidate, but Han Yi was a disciple of Ye Xianggao, and he was too deeply involved with Donglin. ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, Sun Chengzong did not forget to give the Donglin Party eye medicine at this time, and it could be seen that his position was not biased towards the Donglin Party.

Han Yi is not only deeply involved with the Donglin Party, as a disciple of Ye Xianggao, the leader of the Donglin Party, Han Yi can be said to be the current leader of the Donglin Party, or the number two person, and use Han Yi as the secretary of the ministry, unless he is crazy.

"The minister recommends Li Biao!" Sun Chengzong thought about it and gave a name that Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect.

"Li Biao is a Jinshi in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli, changed to a Jishi, and awarded a review. When Taichang was in Taichang, he was tired of moving less Zhan things. In the Apocalypse, the right attendant of the Ministry of Worship and Worship, the assistant Zhan Shifu. The standard master is the same as the Vietnamese star, and the party is jealous, and it is listed in the "Donglin Comrade Record". Fear of disaster, lead to illness. Sun Chengzong said slowly.

Li Biao's teacher is Zhao Nanxing? Emperor Chongzhen really didn't expect that this Li Biao could be trusted?

You must know that Zhao Nanxing is a famous figure, one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, Zhao Nanxing was an important figure of the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty, and Zhao Nanxing, Zou Yuanbiao, and Gu Xiancheng were compared to the "Three Monarchs" of the late Han Dynasty, and they were called "Donglin Three Monarchs".

Zhao Nanxing is a staunch supporter of the party struggle, and when he presided over the Beijing investigation, he impeached more than 300 officials in two Beijings.

In response to the Qi, Zhejiang, and Chu parties and people who disagreed with their own political views, there was a great purge, and the records at that time were very clear: 'Fangdong Lin is prosperous, Luo Tianxia is clear, and there are people who are disagreeing with themselves, and criticism will follow. Those who attack the East Forest are fortunate to be close to themselves, and the aid is important, so the neutral class is inevitably defiled by villains'.

Because of this practice, the Qi, Zhejiang, and Chu parties and many neutral officials were directly pushed to Wei Zhongxian's side, and made indelible contributions to the establishment and growth of the eunuch party.

It's just that Emperor Taichang, who supported the Donglin Party, died when he ascended the throne, maybe it was the ghost of the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party, but there was no evidence.

Emperor Taichang died, Emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, trusted Wei Zhongxian Qi Zhejiang Chu Party to take refuge, so that the eunuch party was greatly strengthened, which led to the purge of the Donglin Party later, and also made a What Donglin Six Gentlemen, so that the party struggle became the main tone of the court.

If you really want to talk about it, the expansion of party struggle has an inseparable relationship with Zhao Nanxing.

As a student of Zhao Nanxing, can Li Biao really be fair and impartial? Emperor Chongzhen is very skeptical! However, Li Biao himself resigned due to illness and did not participate in the party struggle, which may also show his position to some extent, plus this person was recommended by Sun Chengzong, and Emperor Chongzhen did not have a score in his heart.

Regarding Zhao Nanxing's proposition, Emperor Chongzhen read it and knew that he advocated reform, mainly to reform and inspire and clarify the court.

It's just that his reforms are all Donglin Party members, the so-called righteous gentlemen, in the period when Zhao Nanxing served as the secretary of the ministry, he was also known as the "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty"!

Emperor Chongzhen still admired the popularity festival of the Donglin Party, regarded death as home, and practiced Confucian culture very well. But there is also one point, these people are masters of playing tricks, and the slogans are shouting loudly, and really doing something is really making people laugh and cry.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen still decided to give Li Biao a chance, so he said in a deep voice: "I will meet the cabinet of the cabinet to use Li Biao!" ”

Sun Chengzong naturally saw the hesitation of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and seemed to have scruples about Li Biao being a disciple of Zhao Nanxing. Sun Chengzong also understood that there were serious partisanship disputes in the court, and as a disciple of Zhao Nanxing, one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, Li Biao was likely to inherit his teacher's style.

You must know that Zhao Nanxing's attack and purge on the court, Sun Chengzong also knows.

Anyway, he doesn't have a suitable candidate for the time being, so Emperor Chongzhen is ready to use Li Biao to give it a try, and if it doesn't work, he is changing. Emperor Chongzhen's criteria for evaluating people are simple, that is, whether he is useful to his own reforms and whether he supports them.

As for whether he is honest or not, he still has the energy to take care of it, as long as he can do things well, this is enough. Only when the reform is the best, the tax system is redefined, and the state of the country is better, can we have the energy to clean up the corrupt officials.

"Emperor Xie trusts!" Sun Chengzong bowed, he still had confidence in Li Biao.

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, for Han Yi, Emperor Chongzhen had also heard that he could still insist on coexisting with the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties at the beginning, including Fang Congzhe, the leader of the Zhejiang Party, and the situation in the DPRK and China was relatively stable.

At that time, the cabinet had both the Donglin Party and the Qizhechu Party, and the situation in the DPRK and China was quite stable, but the checks and balances were very good.

Zhao Nanxing, relying on the favor of Emperor Taichang, launched a large-scale investigation of the Qizhejiang and Chu parties, which became the fuse for the aggravation of the party dispute. It led to a comprehensive confrontation between the two parties, and to the point that Wei Zhongxian wantonly purged the Donglin Party, making the struggle between the two parties to the point of inextricability.

In the past, although there were also party disputes, they were all controlled within a certain range, and everyone would not joke about national affairs.

After Wei Zhongxian came to power, the purge of the Donglin Party was bloody, from the death of Xiong Tingbi to the later Donglin Six Gentlemen, resulting in the reality that the two parties could not cooperate.

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen thought of another question and said to Sun Chengzong: "Aiqing, the candidate for the governor of Liaodong, does Aiqing have a suitable person?" How is Yuan Chonghuan? ”

When asked about Yuan Chonghuan, it was obviously a pit dug by Emperor Chongzhen for Sun Chengzong, wanting to see Sun Chengzong's thoughts and practices.

Emperor Chongzhen has already expressed his attitude, that is, he hopes that Liaodong will maintain stability and free up his hands to deal with internal affairs.

At this time, Yuan Chonghuan was enabled, obviously contrary to this grand strategy, Yuan Chonghuan advocated the expansion of armaments and warfare, and the annual salary from the imperial court was a large sum, if Sun Chengzong also said that Yuan Chonghuan was used at this time, Emperor Chongzhen really had to think about it.

How could Sun Chengzong not see the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen's question, he could also understand Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts.

Emperor Chongzhen just wants to see what you will do when the emperor's thoughts are different from yours.

After all, Emperor Chongzhen told Sun Chengzong that maintaining stability in Liaodong is an unshakable grand strategy, Sun Chengzong thought about it, and finally shook his head and said: "If it is based on stability, the elements are not suitable, and he advocates training troops to recover Liaotu." ”

The reason why Emperor Chongzhen chose to maintain the stability of Liaodong was because he believed that Houjin could not enter and it was impossible to break through Shanhaiguan.

In fact, even if Mongolia is unified and Korea is subdued, Houjin can bypass and attack BJ but cannot break through Shanhaiguan and cannot drive straight in. In the era of cold weapons, it is simply unrealistic to break through such a pass as Shanhaiguan.

"If the heart is not clear, the eyes are not bright, let the elements do what he is not willing to do, naturally the heart is dusty, and the heart is dusty, which will inevitably affect his choice." Sun Chengzong thought for a moment and continued: "Besides, the strength of the elements is not in defending the city, and he is not suitable to supervise Liaodong. ”

Emperor Chongzhen is still satisfied with Sun Chengzong's statement, and Yuan Chonghuan still has one point, that is, he likes to monopolize power and does not listen to other people's opinions.

Yuan Chonghuan's tenure in Liaodong was either discordant or discordant, and the discord with Mangui had been made public.

The imperial court was worried that the conflict between these two people would affect the big thing, so they separated the two, Wang Zhichen supervised the pass, and Yuan Chonghuan guarded the pass. You can't cooperate inside and outside the customs, so it's strange that you can do it well! In the end, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to give Shang Fang the sword and entrust the entire Liaodong to him.

got the power of Liaodong, Yuan Chonghuan directly took Mao Wenlong, this person who didn't listen to his mobilization, Yuan Chonghuan took Mao Wenlong to establish power.

If you blame others for discord once, and blame others for discord twice, but Yuan Chonghuan is at odds with others every time, either to transfer this or that, and to monopolize the power to kill people and establish authority, regardless of the overall situation, he directly killed Mao Wenlong.

As soon as such a thing came out, people had to think, was it that someone else was at odds with Yuan Chonghuan, or was Yuan Chonghuan at odds with others? Or is it that Yuan Chonghuan has no way to use people, he can't get along with people, a master and a master, you can't even figure out your own subordinates?

Every time something happens, you write to the court, ask for transfer, and do this again and again, who will obey you? This is a leader who can make small reports, who will be comfortable in their hearts?

Since he squeezed out his top boss Wang Zaijin, this situation has appeared, and hidden dangers have been buried.

At the beginning, he was still Wang Zaijin's subordinate, and Wang Zaijin also valued him, but he didn't agree with Wang Zaijin's strategy, so he directly wrote the first assistant of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, and then Sun Chengzong inspected Liaodong and directly dismissed Wang Zaijin.

Man Gui, Mao Wenlong and other generals were basically promoted by Wang Zaijin, and they were promoted by Wang Zaijin.

Sun Chengzong was fine when he was there, after all, Sun Chengzong was really capable, prestigious, and skillful, and the situation in Liaodong was stable. But in the hands of Yuan Chonghuan, how could the people below be convinced? Playing small reports to get the boss, and always making small reports to get away subordinates, who wants to do with such a leader?
