Chapter 1140: Figuring Out the Divine Will
readx; In addition to Zu Dashou's inexplicable marquis, Zhu Youzhen also rewarded many ministers of the DPRK and China, such as cabinet members, almost all of them were added to the official positions of Taishi, Taifu, Taibao, etc. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
These three official positions, commonly known as the "Three Princes", are the highest official positions that a civilian official can obtain. According to the officialdom practice of the Ming Dynasty, these official positions were only false titles in politics, but the rank was still quite rich, and it was a very high honor, which could generally only be obtained when the cabinet ministers were about to become officials. Now Zhu Youzhen has broken this rule, although the ministers feel a little inexplicable, because they did not contribute much in the defense of Beijing, but it is always a good thing to be promoted to Galu, so no one objected.
Among the cabinet members, only Xu Guangqi and Wen Tiren received the least rewards, only a thousand taels of silver. After the dispersal of the dynasty, Wen Tiren and his fellow party of Silla, Chen Zanhua went out of the palace together, and Chen Zanhua said angrily as he walked: "Pavilion Elder, the saint is inevitably a little too favoritism!" When Jianyu called, what did those Donglin Party do, why could they seal the Third Duke, but you didn't have anything? The Donglin Party was suppressed by the Eunuch Party in the past, but now that the Eunuch Party has fallen, the Donglin Party has quickly grown larger, and now the Holy Lord has also accommodated them in every way. In the long run, I am afraid it will not be the luck of the community! ”
Wen Tiren twisted his white short beard and sneered: "Jin Xian (Chen Zanhua character Jin Xian), you are still young, and your time as an official is still short, you still haven't understood the mystery." Don't be you, it's those old fritters of the Donglin Party, this time they are also on the holy road. ”
"Oh?" Chen Zanhua knew that Wen Tiren was cunning and cunning, and he was overjoyed when he heard this, "The students are dull, ask the old man to dial one or two!" ”
Wen Tiren glanced around vigilantly, and when he saw that there was no one outside, he lowered his voice and said: "This ancestor has a great life, he has not made an inch of achievements in Liaodong for many years, and his tail is not lost, and it is rumored that he almost surrendered in the battle of Dalinghe. This time, the captives entered the Kou, and the ancestral longevity department stayed in Shanhaiguan and did not participate in the war, such a person, why did the saint just let him be made a marquis? ”
Chen Zanhua immediately woke up and said: "If you want to take it, you must first take it." Is the Holy One trying to stabilize him? ”
"Not bad!" Wen Tiren smiled approvingly, "According to the old man's opinion, sooner or later, the Holy Lord will get rid of Zu Dashou, and at least he will be deprived of his military power." It's just that the time has not yet come, and Zu Dashou is still in his wings, so he has to add officials to the knighthood to calm his heart. Have you noticed that Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao originally returned to their ancestors and lived a long life, and now they are assigned to Lu Xiangsheng together with five hundred Guanning Iron Horses. And Lu Xiangsheng is going to replace Hong Chengchou, Hong Chengchou's fierce general Zu Kuan also has 500 Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, and Zu Dashou is Zu Kuan's uncle. You get the idea, right? ”
"Peel off the cocoon, simmer slowly, cut off the wings first, so that it can't struggle, and then slowly do it, what a powerful method!" Chen Zanhua couldn't help but gasp and said, "I didn't expect the Holy Lord to be in his youth, but he had such a scheming!" However, the students still have one thing to understand, since the Holy Lord can eradicate the eunuchs by thunderous means, why can't he concoct it now and take out Zu Dashou? ”
"That's where the Holy One goes." Wen Tiren said coldly, "Zu Dashou and Wei Zhongxian are different. Wei Zhongxian was a eunuch and lived in Beijing, although he called for wind and rain in front of the first emperor, but the people were not convinced, especially without an army that completely obeyed orders. Although the eunuchs also sent henchmen to the three battalions to serve as eunuchs in the supervising army, these people are as stupid as pigs and dogs, how can they let the three battalions serve them to the death? As soon as the Qin soldiers arrived, the Jingshi was broken overnight, which is a clear proof.
"Zu Dashou is different. He lived in Liaodong, for many years, the clan forces have already infiltrated into the border army, Zu Dabi, Zu Dale, Wu Xiang and others are their minions, and the subordinate generals are also inextricably linked, which can be said to affect the whole body. Moreover, Zu Dashou is in Shanhaiguan, one step to the north is Liaodong, if he is rashly disposed of, even if he is just transferred to other places, he may be forced to rebel and go to Jianjiao. ”
Chen Zanhua broke out in a cold sweat and said, "It's so dangerous! Fortunately, the elder Ge pointed out that the day before yesterday, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs discussed how to convict Mao Wenlong, and some people proposed at that time that Zu Dashou supported the army and respected himself, which was no different from what Mao Wenlong did. ”
"How are you?" Wen Tiren asked.
"I am still in the Imperial Prison for Mao Wenlong, and it is too early for the ministry to discuss, and it is not too late to discuss it when the Holy Lord transfers him to the prison of the Criminal Department." Chen Zanhua said, "As for Zu Dashou, I didn't speak out. ”
"You're doing a great job." Wen Tiren nodded and said, "I think that Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun and others were much more prominent than Mao Wenlong, and the saint did not hesitate to kill them." Why has there been no news about Mao Wenlong in the edict for so long? This Ming Sheng still wants to use Mao Wenlong, but the time has not yet come! This group of idiots in the Criminal Department doesn't know how to figure out the holy will, I think Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is about to come to an end..."
After Wen Tiren's little touch, Chen Zanhua suddenly opened his mouth, and said happily: "In this way, the reason why the Holy Lord rewarded the Donglin Party is only because the Donglin Party is powerful, and there are many disagreements with the Holy Party in the court and politics, and the Holy Lord just uses the reward to appease his heart, and then slowly reduce his power in the future." As for why he didn't reward Ge Lao and Xu Guangqi, and he didn't reward Li Dingguo and other generals very well, it was because the emperor trusted people didn't need to be rewarded anymore! ”
Wen Tiren nodded proudly and said: "The Donglin Party is blind, what reward is greater than mastering real power?" Although Li Dingguo and other generals were not well rewarded, they all held the power of the army and guarded the Beijing Division; Although Zu Dashou was made a marquis, his troops were reduced, and the three chief military officers of Man Gui, He Kegang, and Zhu Mei restrained him, even if he really had different ambitions, he didn't dare to act rashly now. Although the old man is lonely in the cabinet, the old man just wants to be a lonely minister, so that the saint can see that I am different from the Donglin Party. As long as the Holy One can use my words, what does it matter if he is not the Three Princes? ”
"Pavilion Elder Gaojian!" Chen Zanhua smiled and asked, "Please also ask the elder pavilion for advice, what should students do in the future to win the favor of the saints?" ”
Wen Tiren sneered in his heart, but said in a sincere tone: "After all, you are still a little immature, and the four words 'figuring out the holy will' are not so easy to do." The emperor has always been disgusted with officials, and you should be more cautious in your words and deeds. When you have the opportunity, the old man will remind you. ”
Of course, Chen Zanhua heard that Wen Tiren was warning him not to go over himself to the emperor, and his heart tightened, and he hurriedly smiled: "The student is the old man who is looking forward!" ”
Wen Tiren smiled with satisfaction, and said mysteriously after a while: "As a minister, you must know how to share the worries of your father." What is most lacking in the Holy One today? ”
"Oh..."Chen Zanhua seemed to have realized.
"You can write a recital when you get home tonight, and that's it..."
Wen Tiren was overjoyed, and he was about to kneel down and salute him. Wen Tiren hurriedly stopped it, and said with a cunning smile: "The old man is also out of public interest, hehehehe..."
