Chapter 224: The Imperial Court's Reaction

The Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Zhu Youzhen was looking at the secret fold, the difference was that this time, it was not only Wang Chengen who was in the Heart Cultivation Palace, but also Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren.

The conversation between Su Tiancheng and Huang Daozhou was sent to the capital as quickly as possible.

Zhu Youzhen has read this recital three times, and he specially announced that Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren would meet with them, the purpose of which was to hear their feelings.

Huang Daozhou's fame is very great, and after the dismissal of officials and the people, he devoted himself to learning, especially teaching students in Donglin Academy, imparting some ideas, and making his personal influence even greater. Thinking of the original incident, Zhu Youzhen was still a little uncomfortable in his heart, Huang Daozhou didn't give himself face at all, belittled the important ministers of the court, and it seemed that the world was dark, this radical view was unacceptable to him.

Unexpectedly, the famous Zodiac Zhou ate such a big deflated in front of Su Tiancheng.

The reason why I have watched it so many times has a comfortable feeling, but when I see the back, Zhu Youzhen's thoughts have changed, and he feels more and more that Su Tiancheng's understanding is extraordinary, recalling Su Tiancheng's performance in front of him, as well as those words, he has a kind of comfort in discovering talents.

Su Tiancheng is still young, it does need a period of tempering, if he is put by his side too early, it may be really difficult to do anything, however, Jiangning County is a county, it is difficult to play a role, you can consider putting Su Tiancheng in a more important position at the right time.

"Zhou Aiqing, Wen Aiqing, Su Tiancheng and Huang Dao Zhou's conversations, you have also seen them, tell me how you feel."

Of course, Zhou Yanru said it first.

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lord Su's words. The minister thought that Master Su was in Jiangning County, and he did the same, and the report of Nanjing Sixth Department and Ying Tianfu said that the situation in Jiangning County had undergone great changes. The people were rich and did not starve, and Lord Su contributed a lot to this. ”

Wen Tiren understood the emperor's thoughts better, and he was not to be outdone.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Lord Su is young, he has extraordinary cognition and should be reused. The emperor can issue an order to order Lord Su to come to the capital and do more things. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the two of them and sighed softly.

"You don't understand what I mean, I saw this letter, I was very happy at first, and then I thought a lot, Su Tiancheng said that I am the Ming Dynasty. It's an existential crisis, and it's not too much to say. The key is that he proposed to avoid empty talk, not to flaunt himself, not to be proud of direct advice, to bury his head in things, and to change the current situation bit by bit, this is the wise saying. I believe that Su Aiqing is in Jiangning County, and this is what he did. ”

"If I am in the future, I can have more such understandings and do things in Fuzhou County in a down-to-earth manner. I have made achievements, why worry about the unrest of the world, I have been dreaming of sleep, I have thought a lot, I can't imagine that Su Tiancheng has revealed many truths in just a few words, I finally know what the crux is. ”

Zhu Youzhen rarely speaks like this, ascended the throne at the age of seventeen, and now it has been seven years, from an ignorant teenager to a young man, working hard, thinking of making a career and changing the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, he saw the problems of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately these years of hard work, can not find a direction, can not see the effect, let alone can not find a minister who can be completely relied on.

He once trusted Yuan Chonghuan very much, but in exchange for Mao Wenlong being killed, Houjin had no worries, and drove straight in, detouring from Jimen to the pass, and approaching the city of Beijing, and the Beijing division was shaken.

What he needs is a talent to help the needy, but seven years have passed, and he has not found it, such a talent, in the civil official group, is very rare, and it can even be said that there is no, seeing that the situation faced by the Ming Dynasty is becoming more and more dangerous, and now, such a talent has appeared, can he not be excited.

Of course, thinking carefully about Su Tiancheng's series of choices, he slowly calmed down, now he can't transfer Su Tiancheng into the capital, Su Tiancheng is different from other ministers, he does things neatly, if he thinks about everything clearly, he must be harsh, and he has a taste of not giving up until he reaches his goal, killing Zijin Liang and not sticking to the mud, including Kuang Siming, a salt merchant in Jiangning County, without the slightest hesitation, and he is also ruthless. It can be seen that Su Tiancheng has a harsh side.

Su Tiancheng is too young, if he is in a hurry to come to the capital, even if he fully supports him, it will be difficult to subdue the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and he will inevitably face a dangerous situation, maybe the struggle above the court will be extremely fierce, which Zhu Youzhen does not want to see.

The time is not ripe, and we have to wait.

But in the process of waiting, Su Tiancheng must be given more power and space.

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren didn't speak, they couldn't guess the emperor's mind for a while, and they wouldn't speak at will.

Su Tiancheng is just the magistrate of Liupin, such an identity and status is really nothing.

"I remember that Su Tiancheng came to Jiangning County in May last year to take office."

"Your Majesty, Su Tiancheng came to Jiangning County on the tenth day of May to take office."

"Oh, it's the spring plowing season, and in the blink of an eye, the time of the year has come, and the assessment of the Nanjing officials is about to begin."

"Your Majesty, the assessment of the officials, according to the rules, is once every three years."

"Well, I'll know that I'm going to say, let's wait, let's talk about it after the autumn harvest."

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren instantly understood what the emperor meant.

Zhou Yanru was the first to speak.

"Your Majesty, the annual assessment of Lord Su by the Nanjing Ministry is very good, and the minister thinks that he can order the Ministry to conduct another assessment and report the assessment results in a timely manner."

"The minister also sees it this way, and he can be appropriately promoted according to the assessment results."

"Shu Zhiluo Dao, this matter, put it aside for the time being, this letter is a fold, let the Chinese Wu Minister of the Dynasty, take a look, take a closer look, taste it carefully, let them know what they should do."

After watching Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren leave, Zhu Youzhen spoke to Wang Chengen beside him.

"Father-in-law, you haven't spoken, I'm thinking, Zhou Aiqing and Wen Aiqing can be regarded as conscientious, but the contradiction between the two is getting bigger and bigger, I am a little annoyed, Zhou Aiqing has done something, which makes me think of Yuan Chonghuan, my side, the person who lacks support, really wants to transfer Su Tiancheng to the capital."

"Your Majesty, the slave maid thinks that it is better to let Lord Su sharpen it, Lord Su is too young, if you come to the capital, I am afraid you will encounter a lot of unexpected things, Lord Su is in Jiangning County, and has done a lot of big things, the emperor always pays attention to it, this situation is good, if there is anything, you can give an order, let Lord Su deal with it, for example, to exterminate the Liukou, Lord Su will do a good job."

Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up, he thought about such a method, but he didn't think deeply, yes, let Su Tiancheng get in touch with some things more, be familiar with some things, when he comes to the capital one day, wouldn't he be familiar with it and deal with major affairs in the DPRK and China very well.

"Father-in-law, this suggestion of yours is very good."

"The slave and maid don't dare, this is actually the emperor's idea, the emperor often chatters, and the slave and maid hear it."

"Okay, I think, after the autumn harvest, let Su Tiancheng take charge of the first mansion and see how the situation is, at the age of twenty, being the prefect can be regarded as a wonder of my Ming Dynasty, I hope he can live up to my expectations."

What Zhu Youzhen didn't expect was that when the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs saw this recital, there were some strange voices, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervised the imperial history and put forward suggestions to the matter, demanding that Huang Daozhou be punished, on the grounds that Huang Daozhou was denounced as a commoner, and he still talked about the government at will, which was inappropriate.

Zhu Youzhen did not hesitate to suppress such a twist and turn, and at the court meeting, he unceremoniously criticized such an opinion, the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, such a simple truth, the minister of civil and military affairs should understand, why did he put forward such a twist and turn, since Huang Daozhou could not discuss the government affairs, it means that the conversation between Su Tiancheng and Huang Daozhou is also inappropriate. Su Tiancheng should stand up and reprimand Huang Daozhou without hesitation.

Zhu Youzhen felt pathetic, in the imperial court, some ministers think about something all day long, in addition to party disputes, or party disputes, Su Tiancheng and the Donglin Party are incompatible, and they have already offended many people, even such a conversation has to be used by some people, it is not appropriate to argue directly, then go to the curve, in short, the purpose is to make Su Tiancheng suffer.

Reprimanding such a twist and turn actually shows a point of view, he Zhu Youzhen will fully support Su Tiancheng, and the rest of the people, don't think about any action from behind.

This time, there was no reaction from the cabinet, speaking of which, there was no Donglin Party in this cabinet, so they were also very calm, besides, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren both understood and would not be bored.

In the court, there was no discussion soon, hoping that this letter could stimulate the purpose of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, but it was also frustrated, at this time, Zhu Youzhen felt that the problems in the court were really not small.

His grievances naturally have to be concentrated in the cabinet, and the first to bear the brunt is, of course, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant to the cabinet. It is said that Zhou Yanru was the first to see this recital, and he also knew his own thoughts, so he naturally knew how to do it, and he needed to advocate a practical atmosphere in the middle of the court, but what he got was actually the impeachment recital.

Repeatedly compared the advantages and disadvantages between Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, Zhu Youzhen's mind slowly changed, over the years, he completely trusted Zhou Yanru, in exchange for not a good situation, in the court, disputes continued, the government did not improve, there were many problems, such a situation can not be maintained.
