readx; Zhu Youzhen was furious, and issued an edict in court above the early dynasty: Zhou Daodeng, the cabinet minister, and Qian Qianyi will be reduced to the people, and he will never be used. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Both of them are important figures in the Donglin Party, and the officials of the Donglin Department naturally want to intercede for the two. But firstly, what they did was really dirty, secondly, the emperor had already issued an edict under his anger, and thirdly, this punishment was not too heavy, but the careers of the two of them were completely ruined, and they could retreat to Quanlin. Therefore, the ministers had no choice but to accept the reality.

Zhou Daodeng can say that he was also close to the age of 'flower' Jia, and with his knowledge and talent, he has been in the cabinet for a few months, which can be regarded as a complete merit. Qian Qianyi was bitter, originally he had a higher voice than Qian Longxi among the Donglin Party, and he was recognized as the future first and auxiliary candidate. It's good now, never use it, that is, don't want to be an official in this life.

After dealing with these two people, Zhu Youzhen ordered Huang Zongxi, a scholar from the school, to read the newspaper aloud and read out the list of officials who sprinkled money to vote in the 'flower' contest. He asked Bi Ziyan again: "Master Bi, take out your list of treasury bond sales, compare the two lists, and see how many people still lie that their families are poor, but secretly go to 'spend' the world!" ”

In contrast, the vast majority of the officials who really appeared in the newspapers had never bought government bonds. There were more than a dozen of them standing on top of the court, and they couldn't stand anymore, so they knelt down and pleaded guilty one after another.

Zhu Youzhen glanced at these people coldly and asked Shoufu Han Yi: "What does Mr. think should be done?" ”

Han Yi has a strong sense of justice, but he is also very loyal. For these ministers who only know how to 'groan' the wind and 'make the moon' and refuse to worry about the country, he also hates it so much that his teeth itch; But after all, most of them are Donglin Party members, and they can't bear to be punished heavily.

Just when he didn't know how to answer, Wen Tiren came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think that the faults of these ministers can be big or small. To put it mildly, this is the crime of deceiving the king, and it is not an exaggeration to talk about death! ”

The atmosphere above the court suddenly became tense. Because of the last Bu ceremony, the ministers of the Donglin Department regarded Wen Tiren as a thorn in the flesh in their eyes, but they never had a chance to hit him. This time, it seems that Wen Tiren has seized this opportunity again to ruthlessly weaken the power of the Donglin Party. The bloody party struggle during the apocalypse is still yesterday, can everyone not be afraid?

Wen Tiren then said: "To put it mildly, this can only be regarded as the ministers' lack of virtue and lack of understanding of national debts. As long as they admit their mistakes and purchase more treasury bonds than they spent on the 'flower' contest, please ask Your Majesty not to blame the past, and the court can also calm down the people's opinions. ”

Zhu You listened and said with satisfaction: "What Wen Qing said is very much in line with my intentions. What do you guys say? ”

Although those ministers who are "on the list" do not want to buy treasury bonds, but now they are forced to do this, and if they don't give in, they will lose their positions like Zhou Daodeng and Qian Qianyi, so they have to say repeatedly: "The ministers know that they are wrong, and they are willing to double the purchase of treasury bonds!" ”

At this point, the ministers also saw that the emperor said that the purchase of treasury bonds was completely voluntary, but in fact, the active buyers were still favored by the emperor, while those like Zhou Daodeng and Qian Qianyi who worked against the emperor were reprimanded by the emperor with excuses.

As the saying goes, if you don't do things, you can't do anything, and it's useless to die of exhaustion, even if you eat the court, who doesn't want to make the emperor happy as much as possible? Besides, buying treasury bonds is not a donation, and you can get back the principal and interest after three years, which is not a loss. Therefore, ministers have also continued to subscribe for treasury bonds in court, and the subscription amount has exceeded 300,000 taels in a short time, which makes Bi Ziyan, who has been frowning for many days, so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut.

Zhu Youzhen was also very happy, he knew that as long as he passed the ministerial level, the upward and downward effects would be effective, and soon the private purchase of treasury bonds would increase, and the share of 10 million taels would definitely be sold out. Within three years, with this 10 million taels, the pressure on his own internal money will be greatly reduced. As for repaying the principal and interest after three years, Zhu Youzhen has full confidence in himself. At that time, a small Qinwangzhuang still had millions of taels of silver a year; Could it be that for three whole years, he who has mastered the huge resources of the Ming Empire, can't even earn a mere five million taels of silver?

Therefore, he was very fond of Wen Tiren, who had contributed to himself a few days ago. It happened that Zhou Dao was on the throne and a seat was vacated in the cabinet, so Zhu Youzhen asked the ministers if Wen Tiren was competent.

Originally, the minister of the Donglin Department strongly opposed Wen Tiren's entry into the cabinet. But first of all, Wen Tiren won the favor from the emperor one after another because of the "Qian Qianyi case" and the "'Hua' Kui case", and the limelight was flourishing, and some officials who tended to be attached to the flames switched to his 'door', so Wen Tiren is no longer fighting alone, but there are still some people who are waving their flags and shouting for him. Zhou Yanru, who has already entered the cabinet, is lonely compared with the cabinet ministers of the Donglin family, and he is also eager to change this pattern, so he strongly supports Wen Tiren to enter the cabinet.

Secondly, Wen Tiren's intercession for the ministers just now played extremely beautifully, which greatly changed the opinion of many Donglin ministers about him. People like Han Yi and other 'temperamental' people thought that maybe they had misunderstood Wen Tiren in the past, and he was not always against Donglin. In the future, if there can be more 'exchange' flow, maybe Wen Tiren can be brought in, and then the Donglin Party will be like a tiger with wings.

Therefore, no one objected, and Zhu Youzhen immediately issued an edict, and Jin Wen Tiren was the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of Wenhua Palace, and entered the cabinet to participate in the maintenance of the aircraft. Wen Tiren has been up and down in the Huan Sea for more than 20 years, and today he finally entered the core of power in the Ming Empire.

Taking this opportunity, Zhu Youzhen said again: "By the way, since the explosion of Wang Gong's factory, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry has been vacant, and the fifteen ministers have always been one less, which is probably not suitable." A few days ago, Xu Guangqi presented "The Original of Geometry", "The Explanation of the Examination of Work" and "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration", and I was greatly inspired after reading it. This kind of talent is suitable to be the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, overseeing the national water conservancy and engineering construction, and Xu Guangqi has enough qualifications. What do the ministers think? ”

The ministers naturally knew that Xu Guangqi was also the emperor's celebrity, and Xu Guangqi was asked to give a lecture once a day, which can be seen. And in addition to those who come to Zongdao and other brainless people, people like Han Yi, Qian Longxi and others also have a good impression of Xu Guangqi. Because Xu Guangqi is completely different from Wen Tiren, he never participates in intrigue and struggle for power and profit, but only delves into science and technology and agriculture with a 'door', and is a typical technical official, and there should not be much threat to the Donglin Party's rule.

Besides, the Ministry of Industry is ranked last among the six ministries, with no power and lack of money, and almost no one is willing to consume precious time and 'yin' in the Ministry of Industry, so the Ministry of Industry has been vacant for so long. At this time, as soon as Zhu Youzhen proposed, Han Yi, Qian Longxi, Li Biao and other cabinet ministers seconded the proposal, so Zhu Youzhen took the opportunity to appoint Xu Guangqi as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and naturally entered the cabinet.

When the ministers thought that this thrilling court meeting was coming to an end, Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "I have one more thing to announce. I have been in love with the people's 'daughter' Chen Yuanyuan for a long time, and I want to join the palace and be canonized as a concubine one day! ”
