Chapter 873: The cadres are arbitrary
readx; Zhang Yunru was arrested for making unintentional remarks to anger the emperor, and the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace immediately became tense. At this time www.biquge.info even stupid people can see that the emperor is oriented towards Wen Tiren, which is equivalent to recognizing Wen Tiren's statement about "forming a party", so everyone's hearts are full of awe.
In fact, as a modern person, Zhu Youzhen is accustomed to political parties, and he is not disgusted. It is very normal for a group of like-minded people to come together for a common ideal, form a collective political opinion, and represent the interests of a certain strata of society.
However, whether it is the "Eunuch Party" or the "Donglin Party", although it is called a party, it is actually far from a political party in the modern sense. In fact, they all represent the interests of the landlord class, and they do not have any clear political propositions, but they are only tilting against each other, and there is only one purpose, that is, to take power themselves. It is more appropriate to say that it is not so much a "party" as an interest group.
In this era, both the emperor and the minister are very sensitive to the word "party struggle". Neither the Eunuch Party nor the Donglin Party themselves refused to admit that they had a party. Seeing Zhang Yunru being escorted out of the hall, the ministers of the Donglin Department all felt that the situation was not good. Li Biao also wanted to say two fair words, so he went out of the class and said: "Zhang Yunru is young and vigorous, so that the king has no form, he really does not intend to slander the king, and I hope that Your Majesty will not blame him heavily." In the humble opinion of the minister, the 'joint' may not really be related to Qian Qianyi..."
Zhu Youzhen immediately interrupted him and said, "It may not be related, and it may not be unrelated." 'Joint' is real, Qian Qianyi is the main exam, isn't it the most suspicious? ”
Li Biao hurriedly said: "According to the existing confession, it should be a single person who cheated money." Qian Qianqiu had a talent that could be hit, but the bachelor knew that he could win, so he deceived him. ”
Zhu Youzhen sneered and said: "There are many talented people, how can a single person know that Qian Qianqiu will be successful?" Could it be that the bachelor was the main examiner, and the bachelor admitted him? Besides, Qian Qianqiu's confession was forged, and this article alone shows that there is a ghost in the case! Zhongqing doesn't need to say anything, after Qian Qianqiu arrives at the case for retrial, the truth will naturally be revealed! ”
It was still Qian Longxi who could see the situation clearly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is cautious in employing people, suspending Qian Qianyi from entering the cabinet, making a holy judgment, and respecting the ministers." However, the ministers pushed Qian Qianyi, which was indeed out of public intentions, and there was no matter of forming a party, so they should not affect the Meibu ceremony for the sake of Qian Qianyi. ”
The ministers of the Donglin Department woke up like a dream and echoed one after another. Wen Tiren is still unrelenting, and he can't wait to classify the civil and military capitals of the Manchu Dynasty into Qian Qianyi's party, so the implication is naturally: The list of the divination this time is the product of forming a party for personal gain, and none of them can be used!
Zhu Youzhen saw that the minister of the Donglin Department and Wen Tiren were arguing, and he smiled secretly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Let's talk about it too!" Sun Chengzong, Wang Zaijin, Yuan Keli, what do you think? ”
These people have long been insightful. None of them are Donglin Party, and they also know that Donglin Party wants to control the cabinet through the Divi ceremony. However, on the one hand, they have a good impression and sympathy for the Donglin Party, and on the other hand, the Donglin Party has considerable influence in the DPRK and China, and they do not want to make too many enemies. So even if they weren't on the list, they didn't complain.
But to help the Donglin Party suppress Wen Tiren, these few people are also unwilling. After all, they are all old ministers, which is different from the Donglin Party's style of only teaching science and Taoism and scholarly business. Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, every time he wanted to innovate the government, the Donglin Party obstructed it more, and the emperor had long been dissatisfied with it, and how could a few people not see it.
Therefore, these people held a neutral position and did not express their stance lightly, only saying that Qian Qianyi's case should wait for a retrial before reaching a conclusion, and did not say a word about whether the list of divinations was fair. The rest of the centrist ministers saw that these three did not express their position, and they were all resigned.
At this time, another person took the initiative to come out and play: "Your Majesty asked again and again, but the ministers did not dare to speak out, one is afraid of the power of heaven, and the other is hindered by the situation. Mei Bu seems to be extremely fair, but in fact, the outer court bullies the widow with many people, and those who have different views dare not speak, and if they open their mouths, they will cause trouble. Only Wen Tiren is a tendon person. Your Majesty is wise and wise, and he should be arbitrary, so why stick to the list of divination! ”
When Zhu Youzhen looked at this person, he already understood more than half of it in his heart. This person is not an outsider, it is Zhou Yanru, the former governor of Yansui and who has just been transferred to Beijing to serve as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and secretly said that you and Wen Tiren said that the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces all formed a party for personal gain, in fact, I am afraid that the two of you are also a party!
It turned out that after Zhu Youzhen made a fortune early, the officials who felt that they had hope of entering the cabinet "crossed the sea to show their magical powers", and they were desperately looking for ways to move. This Zhou Yanru was born as a champion, and he was able to learn well, and he was stained with the light of Qin Bing, and he took the great credit of the complex under his name. He was arrogant by nature, so he felt that he should also join the cabinet, so he carried out various activities, tried every means to transfer back to Beijing, and visited important ministers from all walks of life.
The Donglin Party actually had the intention of recruiting Zhou Yanru into the camp, and many people agreed to nominate him into the list. But it just so happened that Qian Qianyi was not afraid of anyone, so he was afraid of Zhou Yanru, because Zhou Yanru was a genuine champion and had made great contributions, from this aspect, Qian Qianyi was undoubtedly at a disadvantage. So Qian Qianyi fanned the wind and lit wildfires everywhere, and squeezed Zhou Yanru out of the list. After Zhou Yanru found out, of course he hated Qian Qianyi deeply.
Of course, Zhu Youzhen is not clear about the reason for this now, and he is not sure whether Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru have discussed it privately. However, in Shaanxi, the two of them intersected, and they were both excluded from the list, and it is very possible to join forces against the Donglin Party.
Assuming that the two are one party, it seems that it is not bad to use them to suppress the Donglin Party. Pulling one faction to fight another faction is a common means for the emperor to control his subordinates, and Zhu Yuanzhang's "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" also contains this strategy, of course Zhu Youzhen will not understand.
But Zhu Youzhen didn't want to do this. Because of course, this can suppress the Donglin Party, but it is undoubtedly equivalent to supporting the Wen Zhou Party, pressing the gourd to scoop up, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, not only can not stop the party struggle, but will make the party struggle exist for a long time.
In fact, before agreeing to hold the divination, Zhu Youzhen thought of a countermeasure. happened to be Qian Qianyi's incident, so he smiled and said, "In my opinion, it's all about trouble." In fact, the cabinet was originally set up to assist the king in handling the government affairs, and the government was simple and there were fewer cabinet ministers, and the court government should be more complicated, so why stick to a fixed number of people? Although this list is quite large, it does not seem to be enough. And the first one took out Qian Qianyi, which shows that this method is also out of place.
"In this way, don't be divined, the top eight people in the list of ministers are all elected to the cabinet. The six books have the most important responsibilities and should also be included in the cabinet. In this way, there are fourteen people, and if there is no consensus on something, it seems inappropriate to form a seven-on-seven game, and one more should be added. This candidate will be elected by the secretaries again to show that there is no party for personal gain. Don't choose another day, just set the cabinet members today! ”
