Chapter 338: Zhou Yanru's Request

Zhou Yanru suddenly came to Huai'an, and it was the time of Layue, which surprised Zheng Xunrui very much. £∝,

Zhou Yanru's identity is different, the so-called nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, since he made a special trip to Huai'an, there must be something, although Zhou Yanru's concubine daughter Zhou Bingyan married Zheng Kaihua, it is said that Zheng Xunrui and Zhou Yanru are also relatives, but this relationship is not a particularly intimate relationship, you must know that Zheng Kaihua is also a concubine, and the two concubines are married, as a family, they will not be valued very much, and they will be treated as a general relationship.

Zhou Yanru in history, was able to enter the cabinet at the age of thirty-six, became the first assistant of the cabinet at the age of thirty-seven, and became the first assistant of the cabinet twice, it is by no means so unbearable as said in the history books, he definitely has real ability, Zhou Yanru served as the first assistant of the cabinet for a few years, Zheng Xunrui did not know much about the court situation, but he also knew that Zhou Yanru was decisive in doing things, he was able to grasp the importance of Dian, and he was also able to really share the worries of the emperor. At the same time, there is also the problem of nepotism impeached by Zài, Wen Tiren and others.

Don't say that the Ming Dynasty, the understanding of all dynasties is the same, thousands of miles to be an official only for money, and you can make a fortune when you become an official, although this understanding is a cancer in the officialdom, but this is the actual phenomenon, no one can deny it, the best way is to use the system to put an end to such a situation, and use severe punishment to make people dare not be greedy.

Based on this understanding, Zheng Xunrui still has a high opinion of Zhou Yanru, he remembers the relevant review articles hundreds of years later, and they have a more pertinent evaluation of Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, basically denying the evaluation of the two traitors, thinking that the two are still capable, but the two are not talents who help the crisis, but just the role of a framer.

After so many years, Zheng Xunrui can see it. It is not that the Ming Dynasty does not have talents to help the needy, but that such talents cannot appear around the emperor, because the emperor himself is talented and ambitious, and he is eager for quick success and quick profit, tired and tired, and he can't wait to reverse the gradual decadence of the Ming Dynasty in one day. When I believe in people, I am full of enthusiasm, I can't wait to wear a pair of pants at the same time, and after a problem, I turn my face very quickly, and I often go to death, lack of long-term vision, and long-term planning, and can't stick to the right route.

It's like a child doing things with a childish mind. However, the civil and military ministers below are also polarized, either catering to the emperor's psychology, or they are fierce empty talk, instilling some marginal construction into the emperor, which makes the emperor unbearable, and also makes the two types of civil and military ministers unable to please, and the final outcome is basically tragic.

On that level. It is impossible for the emperor to have talents around him to help the needy.

Zhou Yanru came to Huai'an Mansion City secretly, and he only brought a housekeeper with him.

This is very rare. In any case, Zhou Yanru was the former cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty and the champion of the palace examination.

Zheng Xunrui knows it very well. Someone must know Zhou Yanru's whereabouts.

Zhou Yanru came to Huai'an, and the meeting between the two is not necessarily a good thing, if it is spread by people with ulterior motives, it will have a bad impact on the two. The emperor is afraid that he will be suspicious.

Zhou Yanru should have understood this, but he still came to Huai'an, indicating that he had important things to say.

Governor's Palace, Donglin Book House.

Before entering the bookstore, Zhou Yanru looked at the plaque carefully, his eyes were a little strange, Zheng Xunrui had no expression on his face, and he didn't deliberately make any explanation.

After sitting down, the two exchanged a few words, and Zhou Yanru quickly got to the point.

"Qingyang, the plaque of this Donglin Book House, I thought there was no zài, but I couldn't imagine that I could still see it, so I didn't read it wrong."

"That's right, this plaque has always been kept, and I don't want to change it yet, maybe it's not time."

"Well, I think so too, look at what you have done since you became the governor of Caoyun, every single thing is not simple, in one fell swoop, the Cao Gang was eliminated, and the Hongmen was newly established, which was under the control of the Governor's Palace, and the prefects and governors of the four prefectures and three prefectures in Huaibei have basically been adjusted, and I also heard that you are ready to change all the guards and soldiers."

"These things have been done, the edict of the Ministry of War has arrived, the guards will change their guards tomorrow, and they will all go to Nanjing, and the Nanjing Beijing camp will send 3,000 soldiers to guard the Cao Yun affairs."

Zhou Yanru diandian head.

"This matter, it is indeed very good, I have also heard that Wei Cao soldiers, nothing can be done well, but the people have the ability, if such soldiers can not be adjusted, then nothing can be done well, I am also worried that you will let the Zheng family soldiers to be in charge of Cao Yun, and I am very worried, you have no such plan, that is the best."

"Thank you Lord Zhou for reminding me, Zheng Jiajun is not a soldier of Wei Cao, so it is impossible to be responsible for the affairs of Cao Yun, and it was only temporarily maintained before, in order to be able to complete this year's Cao Yun task."

Zhou Yanru looked at Zheng Xunrui and groaned slightly.

"Qing Yang, I don't know why you have such a big opinion of the Donglin Party, to say that in this court, the Donglin Party people are also doing their best, although they have had disputes with many people, and they have taken some inappropriate measures against you, but they don't want to be enemies with you."

Zheng Xunrui looked at Zhou Yanru and did not speak for the time being.

"Qingyang, look at a few of your mentors, Lord Wang Duo in Jiangning County before, Lord Yin Liu Zongzhou of Yingtianfu Mansion, and later Lord Xu Guangqi, they are all members of the Donglin Party, in this case, many scholars must think that you are a member of the Donglin Party, at least you will not work against the Donglin Party, who knows that to everyone's surprise, you are actually incompatible with the Donglin Party, and it is unbearable to look at it as someone else."

Zheng Xunrui was a little silent, what Zhou Yanru said was indeed reasonable, the prince of heaven and earth is a teacher, a teacher for one day and a father for life, the status of the teacher is not ordinary, if he is not a person who crosses, he may have become a member of the Donglin Party long ago, but it is a pity that it is precisely because of the identity of the crossing that he has a deep understanding of the Donglin Party, so he will refuse to be a member of it.

It's not that there is no good person among the Donglin Party members, there are still a lot of capable people among them, such as Sun Chengzong and Xu Guangqi, these are all well-known figures, but it is a pity that the goals and departures of the Donglin Party have been strictly deviated, and their overall actions are not for the world, let alone for the people, but for their own interests.

Seeing that Zheng Xunrui didn't speak, Zhou Yanru spoke again.

"Qingyang, you are now the governor of Caoyun, the title of the secretary of the household department, the right capital of the imperial history, so young, you have become an official of the second grade of the imperial court, the next step must be to enter the cabinet, if you don't have any support in the imperial court, it is difficult to gain a foothold, I was in the cabinet back then, I just didn't notice this, and the result is what it is now."

Zhou Yanru said this, Zheng Xunrui had to speak.

"Thank you Lord Zhou for the reminder, but between me and the Donglin Party, I'm afraid there is no room for turnaround, the Tao is different, there is no possibility of reconciliation between us, it's not that I have too much prejudice against the Donglin Party, and they require everyone to understand the problem and do things according to their ideas, which is impossible for me to accept, and it is impossible to let the Donglin Party make changes for me."

Zhou Yanru's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he was caught by Zheng Xunrui.

At this time, Zheng Xunrui roughly understood Zhou Yanru's intention, that is, to make peace between him and the Donglin Party.

There must be contact between Zhou Yanru and the Donglin Party, and it is not ordinary contact, Zheng Xunrui remembers very clearly that Zhou Yanru became the first assistant of the cabinet for the second time, that is, the Donglin Party people who relied on it, among which Zhang Pu was the main force, but after crossing by himself, many situations have changed, but the strength of the Donglin Party people is still there, and it can help the master to Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru is only in his forties, and when he is strong, he is at home like this, and he must be reluctant in his heart, thinking that he can enter the cabinet again, or even become the first assistant of the cabinet again.

Maybe the Donglin Party did their best for Zhou Yanru, but they would put forward conditions.

So Zhou Yanru made a special trip to Huai'an, just to make peace.

Zheng Xunrui will not wear this layer, Zhou Yanru has his own choice, outsiders cannot interfere too much, but Zheng Xunrui will never change his original intention, not to mention that he has already had his own direction and decision for future development.

Zhou Yanru was very smart, and after finding that Zheng Xunrui's attitude was very resolute, he never mentioned the matter of the Donglin Party, but instead talked about the matter between Zheng Kaihua and Zhou Bingyan, and revealed an idea in his words, that is, can Zheng Kaihua teach the seed production technology, that is, the seed production technology of maize and sweet potato, these two food crops are already very popular in Nanzhili, and the seed business is particularly good.

When Zhou Yanru said about this matter, Zheng Xunrui didn't hold back, if it was according to his previous character, he would definitely lose his temper, this is the cornucopia of the Zheng family, if the technology of seed production is passed on, no matter how much money others pay, the Zheng family will lose this cornucopia, under the current situation, this is absolutely not good.

Besides, those who want to get the seed production technology, that is, those scholars and businessmen in the south, Zheng Kaihua has long written that there were businessmen who were willing to pay five million taels of silver to buy the seed production technology of maize and sweet potato, but Zheng Kaihua categorically refused.

Restrained his temper, Zheng Xunrui spoke very tactfully, and his words were very clear, that is, the technology of seed production will not be taught for the time being, and the current opportunity is not suitable.

Zhou Yanru left the Governor's Mansion after lunch.

Zheng Xunrui didn't keep it, he learned a lot of things from Zhou Yanru's words, of course, there are some feelings, and they still need to be proved with facts. To be continued...... home of reading! Unique URL:
