Chapter 43 Officials
Seeing Wang An standing up again, the Emperor of the Apocalypse could only wave his hand to let him sit down and speak, and seeing that he was done again, he said slowly: "This person is called Xu Guangqi, I don't know if my father-in-law has heard of it?" ”
Listening to the words of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wang An immediately recalled the name in his mind, although he felt that the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
While Wang An was meditating, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but recall Xu Guangqi in history, who was a very famous person in the late Ming Dynasty. In the eyes of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Xu Guangqi's role was much greater than that of Yuan Chonghuan. Because his title is much more than Yuan Chonghuan, he is a famous mathematician, scientist, agriculturist, military strategist, and politician in history.
Just these titles can see what kind of talent he is, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the party was seriously incompetent, and the bureaucracy was incompetent, so that such an outstanding talent was left behind, although it was later activated, but it was already in his twilight years. Xu Guangqi died in the fifth year of Chongzhen, and according to the course of history, this person still has 12 years to live. There are so many things that can be done in the past twelve years, and the current Ming Dynasty has not been ravaged by Wei Zhongxian, and the situation is much better than that of the Chongzhen period!
"Get up and go to the ministry." Seeing that Wang An was still there meditating, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't help but be a little disappointed, it seems that if he wants to find Xu Guangqi, he should go to the ministry!
Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse got up and said that he was going to the ministry, Wang An knelt down with a wry smile and said, "The old slave is useless, and he has disappointed His Majesty." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse walked to Wang An's side, gently picked him up, and said with a smile: "What did my father-in-law say, this time it was my wrong to embarrass my father-in-law." "For this old eunuch, the Emperor of the Apocalypse doesn't like it that much, but he must be pampered.
First, because Wang An's character is good, the two of them want to stabilize the ministers. The system of the Ming Dynasty was divided into internal and external ministers. Wang An is now the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, and is usually referred to as the inner minister.
There are countless eunuchs in the palace, and there are countless people who are jealous of this position, although there is no Wei Zhongxian, it is not impossible to have another Li Zhongxian. The Emperor of the Apocalypse wants to tell everyone that he likes Wang An and reuses Wang An, and his position is very stable. For the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Apocalypse still has some understanding, when you are powerful, these people will definitely desperately slap you, and when you lose power, these people will definitely be the most ruthless.
Although these eunuchs in Pingri were very obedient in front of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he knew that where there were people, there were rivers and lakes. It is also very troublesome for these eunuchs to fight. The Emperor of the Apocalypse just wants to tell them in this way that it is not your turn to do things well in this position!
This method seems to be very effective at this time, although the Wei Dynasty has the most fierce reputation and Chen Hong is the most favored, but no one dares to challenge Wang An's authority.
As for the thoughts of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, this old eunuch who is well versed in officialdom can also understand, but neither of them has said anything. The Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally seemed to be very fond of Wang An, and Wang An was naturally very grateful.
After comforting Wang An, the Emperor of the Apocalypse left the palace to go to the ministry, and at this time, he had already thought of some implementation steps for the thoughts in his mind. It's just that the Emperor of the Apocalypse doesn't have a bottom in his heart, but a talent like Xu Guangqi must be obtained.
The Ministry of Officials is located on the east side of the gate of the Forbidden City, which is the east side of the ** Square of the Later Generations, but for some historical reasons, the former site of the Ministry of Officials is no longer there.
Standing in front of the door of the ministry, the Emperor of the Apocalypse was full of emotion, because this yamen was too dilapidated. The stone lion that was originally majestic at the door has become a cat without claws. The vermilion lacquer gate is no longer lacquered, and the bronze knocker is also missing. The glazed tiles on the gatehouse are also missing a piece and one piece is missing, and the remaining glaze is also broken.
Looking at such a yamen, the Emperor of the Apocalypse really didn't know what to say. In later generations, many countries used the dilapidated office building of the zhèngfu department to demonstrate the integrity of the zhèngfu, but when the Emperor of the Apocalypse saw this gatehouse, he thought that he was satirizing himself. Because there is a group of moths of the Ming Dynasty living in such a yamen, it is these people who have sucked the blood of the Ming Dynasty dry, and in the end they can only wait for death.
Seeing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse stood still in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, the people who followed the Emperor of the Apocalypse all looked at each other. Because it was not far from the Forbidden City, there were not many people around the Emperor of the Apocalypse, except for Chen Hong and Wang An, there was only one team of guards.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the yamen of the ministry in a daze, and Chen Hong began to think that this emperor had never seen such a dilapidated yamen, but he was just curious. But when he saw the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse darkening and darkening, he knew that things might not be so simple.
Although he has not followed the Emperor of the Apocalypse for a long time, Chen Hong understands in his heart that this master's heart is full of ravines, and he is definitely not a simple character. Maybe this master has inherited the blood of Taizu and has great ambitions in his heart!
"Your Majesty, shall we go in?" Seeing that the people around him were looking at his group of people, Chen Hong came to the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and said stiffly.
Because of the insistence of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, this group of people were all wearing civilian clothes, and at this time they found that the people around them were looking at them. The Emperor of the Apocalypse said to Chen Hong beside him: "Go in!" ”
Although he is very dissatisfied with the current rule of officials, but now is not the time to rectify, the Emperor of the Apocalypse secretly made up his mind in his heart, but his face was silent.
At this time, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was Li Ruhua, a cadre of the Chu Party, and it was this person who proposed the endowment. Of course, it was only levied in Liaodong alone, and all the money and grain collected were used for military salaries in Liaodong. In fact, although such a heavy campaign temporarily stabilized Liaodong and provided logistical support for Yuan Chonghuan's troops later, it was the people of Liaodong who became more and more tired and the people's livelihood withered.
For this person, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't have a good feeling, and of course he couldn't talk about disgust, but he just knew that this was an official with no foresight. However, the Emperor of the Apocalypse will not worry too much about him, because this person is going to die. According to historical records, this Li Ruhua will soon resign and will die next year. For such a person who is about to die, the Emperor of the Apocalypse can still retain some tolerance.
After waiting at the door for a short time, the person who went in to report came back, followed by Li Ruhua, the secretary of the ministry, and some officials of the ministry.
Seeing the Emperor of the Apocalypse Li Ruhua standing at the door, he was stunned, he didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to come. Since Emperor Zhengde, the emperor has rarely left the palace, but he didn't expect this newly enthroned emperor to come to the ministry at this time. It's just that the person who just reported said that it was someone from the palace, and he didn't say that the Emperor of the Apocalypse was coming, so he didn't have time to think about it, Li Ruhua hurriedly came to the side of the Emperor of the Apocalypse and was about to kneel.
