Chapter 887: Small Problems, Big Mysteries
After ascending the throne, Zheng Xunrui was not easy at all, there were many big things that he needed to make decisions, but what annoyed him was that the small problems in his opinion made Zhou Yanru, Xu Wanghua and Zheng Jinhong and others like great enemies, this is the matter of Zhu Cihong and others, to say that Zheng Xunrui ascended the throne and accepted the edict of the first emperor, which is theoretically no problem, and the first emperor has already married the princess Zhu Huijiao to the emperor, just waiting for the auspicious day of the zodiac to hold the wedding ceremony, and the position of the imperial concubine has been vacated, It was obviously left to Zhu Huijiao.
What contributed to this situation was Gao Qiqian, Zheng Xunrui knew it well, and he didn't break it, what he thought of was to do things and make the country strong, and he didn't have so many requirements for whether he needed to change the dynasty and whether he attached importance to the affairs of Zhu Cihong and others, and besides, he, the emperor, had strong strength and self-confidence, and he was able to completely let go of his hands and feet when doing things.
It's a pity that all these arrangements can't reassure Zhou Yanru and others, after all, everyone's opinion is completely different from Zheng Xunrui's, they think that Zhu Cihong is a huge threat, and this huge threat is still in the capital and has freedom, which is even more incredible. Zhou Yanru and others even thought that this was not a task left to them by the emperor, and their next purpose was to make Zhu Cihong and others disappear completely, and it was not that there was no such thing in history.
You must know that the world's scholars have different views on Zhu Cihong, and Zhu Cihong's existence will not only pose a huge threat to the emperor, but also pose a potential threat to the emperor's family.
Zhou Yanru and others mentioned Zhu Cihong in front of Zheng Xunrui many times.
At first, Zheng Xunrui didn't pay special attention to it, and he didn't decide to follow the advice of Zhou Yanru and others, but after Zhou Yanru and even Yang Tingshu and others raised Zhu Cihong's question several times in a row, Zheng Xunrui began to pay attention to this matter.
Zheng Xunrui is not stupid, Zhou Yanru, Yang Tingshu and even Zheng Jinhong, who he relies on, have all raised Zhu Cihong's question, if he still can't understand the meaning. Then it would be in vain.
In fact, Zhou Yanru and others are not only worried that he, the emperor's throne, is often in danger, but also worried about their own safety, you must know that the emperor was forced to hang himself, Zhu Cihong and others cannot have no ideas in their hearts, they are not afraid of 10,000, they are afraid of what if, if Zhu Cihong grasps power one day. It is uncertain what will happen to the many ministers who support Zheng Xunrui, and what will happen to the families of these ministers.
These ministers who are willing to follow him to fight have to think about what it would be like to have a huge threat around them every day, and this threat has the support of the emperor.
Zheng Xunrui finally discovered his major mistakes, and also felt the "good" intentions of Gao Qiqian.
The person who crossed was invincible before, and he could afford to put down all the major things. can handle it safely, but on this matter, there is no careful thinking.
The relationship between Gao Qiqian and Wang Chengen is very good, Wang Chengen has already followed Zhu Youzhen, but before this, did Gao Qiqian and Wang Chengen have discussed, such a major matter, can Gao Qiqian make a decision alone. Or whether Zhu Youzhen knew about this matter.
Politics is cruel, and many things dare not be deeply associated.
After ascending the throne. Zheng Xunrui finally fell into a huge contradiction.
Why did Kangxi be furious after the appearance of the third prince of Zhu in history, and under the premise that the regime was completely stable, he spared no effort to kill the so-called third prince Zhu, didn't Kangxi think of mercy, I'm afraid Kangxi thought of the shock caused by the third prince of Zhu. will have a huge impact on the stability of the dynasty.
Zhu Cihong is still young, and he can save his life at present, I am afraid that he has no other ideas for the time being, but as time goes by, who can guarantee that Zhu Cihong will not have ideas. Even if there are some secret actions, it is impossible for any regime to guarantee that there will not be any mistakes, and threats like Zhu Cihong can start to exert force when the regime is turbulent.
For the first time, Zheng Xunrui realized that he was thinking too simply.
Regardless of whether Zhu Cihong has the ability or not, his identity is a huge attraction, which can attract many people to surround him, once the opportunity is right, these people may stand up and make waves, and when the time comes, the court will kill the ring, and the impact will be even greater, and the impact in history will be even worse.
It's very simple to kill Zhu Cihong and the others, as long as Zheng Xunrui has a hint, someone will naturally find a way to make all this happen.
After a period of painful thinking, Zheng Xunrui succumbed to cruel politics for the first time, and he decided to take action against Zhu Cihong, of course, he couldn't do it publicly, but thought of a good way.
There is a way to let Zhu Cihong enter the Zheng family's army, and in the upcoming battle, it is enough to sacrifice his life honorably, as for doing this, it is even simpler.
The fifth day of the seventh month of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, that is, the fifth day of the seventh month of the first year of Ruiyuan.
Something went wrong inside the palace.
The reason for the matter is very simple, the eunuch Gao Qiqian, who is in charge of the internal affairs of the palace, is greedy for the silver taels of the Internal Affairs Office.
This matter was discovered by Hong Xinyu, the Minister of the Guard.
In order to ensure the normal operation of the palace, according to the emperor's suggestion, the palace set up the internal affairs office, the highest official of the internal affairs government is the minister of the internal guard, including the celebrant and other departments are under the jurisdiction of the internal affairs government, and the expenses of the silver two are also under the direct jurisdiction of the internal affairs government, and the household department can not directly interfere with all the expenses of the palace, of course, the source of the silver two is the household department, and all taxes are large and small to the household department, and the household department allocates a certain amount of silver taels to the internal affairs government every year according to the emperor's requirements.
There are a lot of silver taels allocated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, including the expenses of the queen mother and concubines, the expenses of palace maids and eunuchs, including the expenses of brocade clothes and guards, etc., as well as the living coefficient are among these silver taels, so the amount is huge, of course, the emperor and the queen also need some small treasury, which is also in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Supervising these silver taels was the Minister of the Guard, Hong Xinyu.
Gao Qiqian actually dared to fight the idea of these silver, which can be described as bold.
After the emperor learned about this, he was extremely angry, and even lost his temper during the court meeting.
Gao Qiqian probably felt that it was difficult to pass the test, so he chose to commit suicide.
This incident caused a lot of shocks in the palace, including the queen mother, who was surprised, and never imagined that Gao Qiqian, who had always been cautious and docile, would be greedy for the silver taels of the Internal Affairs Office.
In fact, the expenses of the internal affairs government are not Hong Xinyu's statement, but the queen mother's direct statement, you must know that the queen mother used to be the big treasurer of Hongmen Qianzhuang, and she is very clear about the expenses of the silver and other matters, and she is also quite familiar, in this case, it is almost impossible for the internal affairs government to hide any expenses from the queen mother, and no one has such great courage.
It is said that Hong Xinyu knelt in front of the queen mother, her body trembled, and she didn't know how to answer many questions raised by the queen mother, and later the emperor specially explained to the queen mother, so that the queen mother did not continue to blame Hong Xinyu.
From this matter, many civil and military ministers also know the power of the queen's mother, and they feel the rigor of the emperor's work, you must know that Hong Xinyu is a person who follows the emperor all the time, and it can be said that he has received the greatest favor, but if he did something wrong, he was still trained like a mouse by the queen's mother, if it wasn't for the emperor's intercession for Hong Xinyu, I am afraid that Hong Xinyu, the minister of the guard, would also be punished.
The people inside the palace are greedy for ink, and it is said that this matter has nothing to do with Hong Xinyu, but because Hong Xinyu is the Minister of the Interior of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he must also be held responsible.
This made the Manchu civil and military more careful, secretly thinking that there should be no problems in doing things.
There are not many people who really know the mystery, that is, Zhou Yanru, Xu Wanghua, Zheng Jinhong and Yang Tingshu and others.
The signal has been given, and everyone understands the mystery.
Although the emperor did not publicly admit the mistake in dealing with Zhu Cihong and others, but the actual actions have been shown, you must know that Zhu Cihong and others can save their lives, that is, the emperor's mercy, otherwise they would have been killed a long time ago, and now the emperor may have thought through the problems and decided to adopt the suggestions of Zhou Yanru and others.
The emperor ascended the throne on May 28 and did not marry Zhu Huijiao until July, which is a signal.
Of course, the emperor was very busy during this time, and he dealt with government affairs in the Qianqing Palace every day until very late, although the time of the early dynasty had been changed to the time of the morning, but many times, the lights of the Qianqing Palace were lit up at about two o'clock.
Just when Zhou Yanru and others were still pondering, on July 15, the emperor made a decision to marry Zhu Huijiao in accordance with the edict of the previous emperor on August 15.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor issued another decree to let Zhu Cihong enter the Zheng family army to sharpen.
The only one who can enter the Zheng family army is Zhu Cihong.
These measures of the emperor made Zhou Yanru and others puzzled again, originally thinking that the emperor was ready to do it, but who knew the development of the situation, but it made the position of Zhu Cihong and others more stable.
The only one who can see the mystery of this is Xu Wanghua.
Xu Wanghua didn't dare to say anything, and was busy with business every day.
Soon, the attention of Zhou Yanru and others shifted again, because the emperor had already begun to talk about the affairs of the cabinet, which is the most important thing, you must know that being able to enter the cabinet is equivalent to the prime minister, not to mention that the emperor has already passed the tone, and the current cabinet is completely different from the previous one, and some departments set up by the imperial court must also make large-scale adjustments.
