Chapter 194: Zhongguan

When Wu Fanhui went home, it was close to the unitary hour, he was hungry, and he was still thinking about the things of Liukou, Houjin Tartar and Kong Youde, these things will eventually become the straw that crushed the Ming Dynasty, and if you want to solve these problems truly and thoroughly, I am afraid that the Chongzhen Emperor in the court can do it.

Walking to the door of the mansion, Wang Baofu, who was following him, had a stomach growl, Wu Fanhui remembered that his stomach was really hungry, Wang Baofu had been following him, and when he went to the Hanlin Academy on business, he walked around the alley outside, but he didn't expect that it took almost a whole day to wander around before his young master came out of the official office.

"Wang Baofu, I'm hungry, I'm hungry, it's the first day today, there are a lot of things, it's fine in the future, you don't have to wait outside the Hanlin Academy all the time, just wait at the Hanlin Academy in the future."

Chen Daiming stood at the door of the mansion, and after seeing Wu Fanhui, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Young master, there are guests at home, it's Young Master Cousin and Young Master Ye."

Wu Fanhui was stunned for a moment, today is only the eighth day of the first lunar month, why did Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi come, could it be that the two of them are also celebrating the New Year in the capital.

"Brother Wen and Brother Changhong, what kind of wind is blowing you here?"

When Wu Fanhui entered the hall, Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi hurriedly stood up and saluted in front of Wu Fanhui.

"Meet your lordship..."

"This is at home, there are not so many rules, by the way, didn't you two go back for the holiday."

Chen Minghui looked at Ye Kaiyi and quickly answered.

"A month and a half of vacation, the road back and forth time is not necessarily sufficient, after the Guozijian holiday, Changhong and I discussed, simply go to Beizhili to take a look around, it can be regarded as a travel, we just returned to the capital today."

The opening time of Guozijian is the twentieth day of the first month, before the wax month and the first month, the prisoners can also eat and live in the Guozijian, but they need to pay their own money for life, and the accommodation is ready-made, and the management of the Guozijian is very strict, if you go back late at night, the door of the Guozijian will be closed, so most of the prisoners who are difficult to go home because of the long distance will choose to travel outside, or eat and live in the inn of the capital, so it is also a lot more casual.

"Oh, I see, a month and a half of vacation, the time is indeed shorter, and I am in a hurry to go back, if I encounter a heavy snowstorm on the road, I will delay the trip, and I will not be able to catch up with the start of classes."

After a few words of greeting, Wu Fanhui spoke to Chen Daiming, who followed up.

"Is the banquet ready, I've had something to eat in the morning."

Hanlin status is noble, Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi are very aware of this, their dream goal is to be able to enter the Hanlin Academy, but that has become an unattainable dream, so in front of Wu Fanhui, the Hanlin cultivator, the performance of the two is still respectful and restrained, when they were in Xi'an Fucheng to take the exam, the identity between them is equal, as Chen Minghui, who was born in the scholar family, may also have some psychological advantages, after Wu Fanhui became the township test Xie Yuan, The gap between them is not particularly big, but after Wu Fanhui took the high school examination and the palace examination, the distance between them became huge, and Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi no matter how hard they tried, I am afraid they would not be able to reach this height.

During the meal, Wu Fanhui felt the change in the attitude of the two, he understood that Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi did not deliberately want to do this, but the rules agreed between scholars, not to mention Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi, even if they were two Jinshi in the same year, the second and third Jinshi, in front of him, the champion, they could not be presumptuous.

The qualifications between scholars and doctors, and the gap between scholars and doctors, are reflected in these aspects.

Wu Fanhui didn't break the two of them, he had already said earlier that Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi don't have to be too restrained, but unfortunately both of them are scholars, and they must abide by certain rules, no matter how much he says, it doesn't have much effect.

Wu Fanhui ate a lot of dishes, after all, when he ate with Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi, he always had to drink, so it was not good to eat first with his rice bowl, if he did, it would mean that he would not drink.

Fortunately, among the dishes, there are rice cakes and other ones that can fill the stomach, so Wu Fanhui will not feel dizzy when he drinks.

After a few glasses of wine, Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi were finally a little casual.

Both of them talked about taking classes in Guozijian and praised the knowledge of Dr. Guozijian's Five Classics, but when they talked about classes, they suddenly mentioned the matter of Zhongguan.

After the emperor ascended the throne, he once liquidated Wei Zhongxian and the eunuchs on a large scale, and issued a strict order that the eunuchs should not interfere in politics, so as to completely eliminate the power of the eunuchs in the court in a short period of time.

However, in September of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the emperor began to re-appoint the central officials.

When Chen Minghui talked about this matter, he was still a little angry.

“。。。 The emperor sent a number of town guards, Wang Yingchao and Deng Xizhao monitored the money and grain and pacifying rewards in Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan and Jizhou, Zhang Yixian premiered the money and grain of the household department and the Ministry of Industry, Wang Kun served as the supervisor of Xuanfu, Liu Wenzhong served as the supervisor of Datong border town, Liu Yunzhong served as the supervisor of Shanxi, monitoring the expenditure of money and grain in various places, Tang Wenzheng was even the commander of the Beijing camp, if this continues, I am afraid that the eunuch party will raise its head again... ”

Wu Fanhui listened very carefully, he only lit a day in the Hanlin Courtyard, and did not have time to see more recitals and documents, including some edicts that can be read, the eunuchs at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the most impressive thing left to Wu Fanhui was Wang Chengen, the chief eunuch of ceremonies, became the last person that Emperor Chongzhen accompanied before committing suicide, and the other ministers of civil and military affairs, when the catastrophe came, most of them were nowhere to be found, and they did not appear in the Forbidden City at all.

Eunuch participation in politics, Wu Fanhui is not very agreeable, but he is familiar with history, he is still somewhat rational about the eunuch's participation in politics, the Ming Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty eunuchs are still different, although the movie hundreds of years later, the Ming Dynasty's eunuchs are portrayed as a mess, but history still has some fair evaluations of the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, including the evaluation of Wei Zhongxian, which is considered fair, strictly speaking, some things Wei Zhongxian did represented the interests of the common people and severely suppressed the interests of the gentry class.

For example, Wei Zhongxian knew that the common people were very miserable, and never increased the taxes of the common people, but collected taxes on commerce and trade on a large scale, and would rather offend the gentry than the common people.

When Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he cleaned up the eunuchs on a large scale, and was even dissatisfied with the list of eunuchs played by the cabinet, personally circled many eunuchs, and dealt a severe blow, and abolished all the eunuchs who served as supervisors, and there were ministers in the court. And a lot of money was spent.

What made Emperor Chongzhen even more annoyed was that these ministers in the court accused others of being the leader, and when they impeached the eunuchs, they were sharp-tongued, but when they encountered real problems, they couldn't think of a solution, and they couldn't let out a fart.

It was precisely because of these reasons that Emperor Chongzhen lost confidence in the ministers of the court and began to reactivate the eunuchs.

Of course, there are also factors of power games and struggles, Emperor Chongzhen does not believe in the ministers of the court, and prefers to believe in the eunuchs around him, Qian Longxi, Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong, Wang Qia, Sun Chengzong and other important ministers, which also makes the emperor exhausted and more suspicious.

"Brother Wen, Brother Changhong, I am afraid that these things you talked about were said by the doctors of the Five Classics, teaching assistants, Xuezheng and even when they gave lectures on sacrificial wine."

Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi looked at Wu Fanhui and nodded, they found that Wu Fanhui was very calm, as if he didn't care about this matter, or had other opinions, you must know that all the prisoners of Guozijian were dissatisfied with this matter, and a lot of discussions appeared, thinking that the disaster of the eunuch party was likely to appear again.

"I don't have a good impression of the lieutenants, and I have almost no contact with them, so I don't have much feeling, but I want to talk about this matter in the DPRK."

"When the emperor ascended the throne, he vigorously eliminated the eunuchs, which is a well-known matter, but why in less than four years, the emperor will re-appoint the lieutenants, the reason for this, I advise Brother Wen and Brother Changhong to think more."

"Brother Changhong remembers what you said about the six gentlemen of Donglin, at that time I had a different opinion, I will not listen to what outsiders say, I need to make a real decision through my own judgment, this emperor sent a lieutenant official, I don't think it will be for no reason, the emperor once trusted the adults of the Manchu Dynasty so much, and did not allow eunuchs to interfere in politics, this large-scale dispatch of lieutenants, I have not heard that the adults in the court have any objections, which is somewhat interesting."

"The Donglin Party people once fought to the death against the eunuch party, they got the support of the emperor, after the emperor ascended the throne, cleaned up the eunuch party, and enabled the Donglin party on a large scale, it is said that the government should be a vibrating, but these years, I heard that the affairs of the court and the central government, are all matters of defeat and lack of money, the famine in Shaanxi and other places can not be relieved, because the court can not get the silver, the border troops around the country mutinied, because the sergeants do not get military salaries, the rogue plundered, because they do not rebel only starve to death, it is difficult to do these things, Don't you know why the adults in the court didn't share the emperor's worries and solve these problems. ”

Wu Fanhui's words silenced Chen Minghui and Ye Kaiyi, and the two fell into thought, no one would raise these questions in Guozijian.
