The Wenhua Hall is murderous, although it is invisible, but everyone knows in their hearts that this matter is not a good ending!

Everyone was a little numb by the Emperor!

This numb feeling, even Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen himself has some, he has been advocating clean government, but really when everyone is a corrupt official, no one in the Manchu Dynasty has a clean ass!

As a balance, Wang Yongguang and Zhou Yanru entered the cabinet, and paid special tribute to Zhou Yanru as a scholar of the East Pavilion, and participated in the aircraft service, at the age of 36, Wen Tiren also entered the phase. Zhou Yanru was then the first assistant. Looking for a little protection, change the martial arts palace.

In this way, the second Gyeongcha plan ended hastily, but it laid a good foundation for the Gyeonggi region and the central administration to stabilize Dìng! The Donglin Party is no longer the dominant party! Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren, Xue Guoguan and other slogan factions, plus more than 8,000 Congjiupin, began to slowly gain authority in the Ming court.

Although the Jingcha plan ended hastily, the fighting methods on both sides did not stop immediately!

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen was an emperor who made a difference, and in the face of the mess left by his elder brother Ming Xizong, he was determined to make great efforts to restore the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. He first carried out a thorough purge of the eunuchs led by Wei Zhongxian. All officials involved in the reversal of the case, whether they are the first offender or coerced accomplices, will be severely punished. On the other hand, however, it caused the consequences of an excessively wide range of strikes and too many connections, resulting in a lack of talent in the imperial court, especially the lack of too many members in the cabinet, which is the basis of power, and the normal operation of the bureaucracy was severely affected.

Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen decided to add cabinet members. The edict will push the ministers. As soon as the edict came out, Wen Tiren privately started his wishful thinking. He knew that he was shallow and not prestigious. On this basis alone, he would not have been able to enter the cabinet. But. Wen Tiren also has his strengths. As soon as Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he promoted him to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. Wen Tiren thought that this was a signal that the emperor intended to reuse him. Therefore. He is very confident in entering the cabinet this time. However, in the process of pushing, Wen Tiren was repeatedly snubbed and finally failed to enter the cabinet, while Qian Qianyi, a genius in Jiangnan, ranked first privately, and Wen Tiren's wishful thinking failed.

However, Wen Tiren found that. That is, Zhou Yanru, whom the emperor attaches great importance to, is not on the list of candidates. Zhou Yanru is well-behaved. Very good at observing words and colors, left and right. Deeply favored by the emperor. Zhou Yanru was defeated, and Wen Tiren speculated that the emperor must be suspicious. Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen was very dissatisfied when he saw that Zhou Yanru's name was not on the list.

Wen Tiren believes that this is a great opportunity to overturn the case. He and Zhou Yanru quickly colluded together and pointed the finger directly at Qian Qianyi. They wrote to the emperor and re-exposed the bribery case of Qian Qianyi, urging the emperor to cancel Qian Qianyi's cabinet ministers. The so-called joint bribery case refers to the bribery of Tong Shengtian Qianqiu when Qian Qianyi was trying Zhejiang in the second year of the Apocalypse, and used a vulgar slang poem "Once stepping into the blue sky" as the joint. He was designated as the first in the provincial examination (Xie Yuan). This was later reported. Qian Qianyi was punished by taking away his salary and cutting his post for the people.

Qian Qianyi's case has been temporarily subsided. But Wen Tiren is not invulnerable. Yushi Mao Jiuhua and Ren Zanhua quickly exposed the three major crimes committed by Wen Tiren: first, bribing the eunuch Cui Chengxiu and exonerating the crime of buying merchant timber privately; Second, Hangzhou was built for Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall. Wen Tiren wrote poems to praise Wei Zhongxian; 3. Marrying prostitutes, accepting bribes, and stealing other people's property.

The cunning Wen Tiren pretended to be aggrieved and said to the emperor: "This is all a case of them borrowing money and being humble to frame and attack the lowly ministers." Beichen is now isolated and helpless, and can only beg for resignation. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen instead appreciated the ruthlessness of Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren! In the midst of complex political struggles, who can guarantee that they will not be marginalized by their political opponents? Then he used the imperial power, ordered Mao Jiuhua, and Ren Zanhua and Wen Tiren confronted him face-to-face. Qian Qianyi's case once again set off a storm. In the process of arguing, Wen Tiren insisted that Mao Jiuhua and Ren Zanhua were Qian Qianyi's sworn friends. So Emperor Chongzhen threw Mao Jiuhua and Ren Zanhua into prison.

Zu Chongye and others successively reminded Emperor Chongzhen, pointing out that Wen Tiren was borrowing money from Qianyi's case and plotting to enter the cabinet. Wen Tiren once again resolutely asked for his resignation.

Zuodu Yushi Cao Yu Bian and other officials were deeply dissatisfied with Wen Tiren's false accusations. They jointly signed a letter to expose Wen Tiren's ugly face: "The ministers personally tried Tian Qianqiu's case, and there were thousands of people watching and listening, and it was not a person who could cover up and distort it at will. Wen Tiren is a deception and fool of the emperor. ”

This is an ironclad fact. Wen Tiren felt that it would be unfavorable for him to delve deeper. So he saw the wind and the rudder. aimed the finger at Cao Yubian and attacked him for protecting Qian Qianyi in the party. Emperor Chongzhen felt that there was no need to argue any further. So it ended hastily.

Soon, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren entered the cabinet one after another. Wen Tiren served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and a scholar of Dongkaku University.

In this second Jingcha plan, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen controlled the situation very well and showed outstanding political talent, but this country is like rotten wood, and it is not possible to turn the tide with political skills alone! And Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen didn't like Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and Xue Guoguan and the like, but he just wanted to use these people to weaken the influence of the Donglin Party, because once these people left the imperial power, they would be nothing, and they didn't want the Donglin Party to have influence in the world!

Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and Xue Guoguan can only surround the emperor, they are like the emperor's nails! Without the emperor, they are nothing!

Before deciding to go to the north to inspect secretly, Emperor Zhu Youzhen summoned his ministers again and asked about the mutiny in Jinzhou and Ningyuan!

Zhou Yanru is witty and sensitive, and analyzes problems thoroughly. The soldiers stationed in Jinzhou mutinied, and the superintendent Yuan Chonghuan asked for military salaries. Emperor Chongzhen convened his ministers in the Wenhua Hall to discuss, and the ministers all requested to use the national treasury.

Zhou Yanru guessed the emperor's thoughts, and said alone: "In the past, the border guards prevented foreign invasions, but now they have to defend against soldiers. The soldiers of Ningyuan mutinied and were paid military salaries, and the soldiers of Jinzhou mutinied and were paid military salaries. ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen asked, "What do you say?"

Zhou Yanru responded calmly, "The situation is urgent, I have to send it, but I have to think of a long-term strategy." ”

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu You listened to it and thought that Zhou Yanru was reasonable.

A few days later, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen asked Zhou Yanru again, and Zhou Yanru said: "The grain is the best for millet, and Shanhaiguan is not short of millet, but only silver." Why did the soldiers make trouble, there must be an inside story, this is nothing more than an arrogant military attache instigating trouble to threaten Yuan Chonghuan. (To be continued......)
