Chapter 100: The West Wind Urges the Guests to Mounts (5)

When Zhu Cihong was not yet out of the palace, he had a major leisure activity, which was to find historical celebrities he remembered from the newspaper and see their life trajectories, and even birth, old age, sickness and death. Gradually, he found that many people were different from the records in the history books, and the images in the TV series were very different.

What made him even more confused was that even if he knew that a certain celebrity would die on the battlefield, he couldn't change it at all. One is that his own liliang is limited, and even the concubine can't pre-govern, let alone a young boy. The second is that reality is full of twists and turns, one moment the sun is shining, and the next moment is thunderstorm. As a liberal arts student who is not a history major, how could Zhu Cihong know so many twists and turns hidden in the pile of old papers?

He was very fond of Lu Xiangsheng and was very concerned about this loyal and brave minister, but Governor Lu died in battle when Zhu Cihong thought that something was most unlikely.

He also hoped that Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao could get rid of their fate, and even begged Chongzhen to stay a few more days when the two general soldiers returned to Beijing to take up their posts, and went to the East Palace to explain the art of war to him. However, Chongzhen scoffed at him and asked him to study and practice calligraphy, and it would be too late to learn the art of war a few years later.

As a result, General Cao didn't know until he died in battle, and Donggong had hoped to see them.

Several times of helplessness finally grinded the prince's temperament.

Zhu Cihong quickly understood that it was not impossible to change his life against the sky, but he must not do it brutally. Only by plunging into history and following the general trend can we take action at a critical moment and turn things around. If it's just a cold-eyed spectator, even if you cross over with Baidu, don't think about doing anything.

Zhu Cihong's super learning ability and adaptability made him quickly change his way of thinking, put himself in the right position, first thinking about problems as the crown prince, and then examining his own behavior from the perspective of the emperor. When Zhu Cihong heard his sick younger brother say to his father Bixia: "Nine Lotus Bodhisattva said that Bixia treats his relatives too harshly, so it is difficult for his son to rest...... his first reaction was: This kid is not sick. It must also die young.

Finding that he had this idea subconsciously, Zhu Cihong finally determined that he had integrated into "history" and became an "ancient".

As a living emperor and a minister, the first principle is: don't work against the emperor.

In fact, it is the same with any dynasty.

Facts have proved that you should not work against the ruling government outside, and do not work against your wife at home. Only those who do both. In order to live a long and healthy life without disasters.

Wu Fu is a criminal appointed by the emperor, although the charges are a little vague, let alone any evidence, if you look at it from the perspective of legal professionals, it can be said to be absurd. But as the crown prince, Zhu Cihong, as a son, can't talk about his father's mistakes, and as a subordinate, he can't talk about the mistakes of the sovereign, so the best thing to deal with is to keep silent.

"Among the auxiliary ministers that year, Wu Fu, Jiang Dejing, and Huang Jingfang were the same as each other. Jiang Dejing is good at managing money and managing soldiers. Huang Jingfang has the ability to recognize and employ people. Feng Yuanbiao tried to calm his breath and said, "Only Wu Fu has a big weapon." ”

"It was Mr. Feng who recommended Wu Fu to Zhou Yanru that day." Zhu Cihong said.

Feng Yuanbiao had a pimple in his heart, and he coughed again.

This is really a clear proof of the intricacies of officialdom.

Feng Yuanbiao was extremely unfriendly with Zhou Yanru when he was talking about the road, and he could be described as a political enemy.

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Yanru was the first assistant and wanted to "restore the crown belt" for Feng Quan. Feng Quan was a well-known eunuch, and he was condemned as a "cane disciple" on the reverse case that day. Later, he was redeemed for the people. At that time, most of the words in the court were Donglin's old days, and Zhou Yanru wanted to overturn the case for Feng Quan. The pressure can be imagined.

However, Feng Quan and Feng Yuanbiao are of the same clan, and Feng Yuanbiao hopes that Feng Quan can recover. He spoke to Zhou Yanru and used Wu Fu as a help to disperse the pressure. Zhou Yanru wanted to get along with Donglin at that time, so he agreed to Wu Fu's entry into the cabinet. Guy Wu Fu was also regarded as a well-known Donglin person in the court at this time, and he once benefited from Zhao Nanxing, one of the "three gentlemen" of Donglin. and benefited another "gentleman" Zou Yuanbiao.

Who knew that after Wu Fu entered the cabinet, he did not agree with Feng Quan's reinstatement, and directly found Fu Shuxun, the secretary of the household department at that time, and vetoed Feng Quan's reinstatement. Later, Zhou Yanru wanted to use Zhang Jie as the imperial envoy of the right capital of Nanjing, but was also blocked by Wu Fu. As a result, it was completely split into two parties.

At the beginning of Wu Fu's entry into the cabinet, he must have known that Zhou Yanru wanted to use Feng Quan's revenge as an exchange bargaining chip. - The cabinet ministers are not worthless, and there is no reason for people to give them to you for nothing.

After entering the cabinet, Wu Fu did not admit his account when he grasped the authority, and directly cheated Feng Yuanbiao who recommended him.

According to common sense, it would be good if Feng Yuanbiao didn't take advantage of the fact that he would fall into the well now, and it was really abnormal to ask the prince to rescue Wu Fu.

Zhu Cihong broke the past of the two, which was really a helpless move. Even with his experience and cognition, he didn't know that Weishenme Feng Yuanbiao wanted to recommend Wu Fu.

Zhu Cihong looked at Li Banghua, and suddenly came to his senses: "Is it because of Donglin?" ”

If Li Banghua, Feng Yuanbiao, and Wu Fu have any common labels, it is only Donglin. Although Li Banghua has always refused to admit that he is a member of the Donglin Party, and said that he does not agree with many of the policies and practices of the Donglin Party, he is a personal disciple of Zou Yuanbiao, and he cannot deny it if he wants to.

Although Feng Yuanbiao does not have the mark of Donglin in his resume, he is a native of Cixi, Zhejiang, and his father Feng Ruoyu is a Shaoqing of Nanjing Taifu Temple.

Li Banghua said helplessly: "Where is there Donglin in the world?" His Royal Highness employs people, and the authorities measure the size of their talents, and they should not use the party to select people, and they should abolish talents because of people. ”

There is indeed only the name of Donglin in the world, but there is no reality of Donglin. Jiangnan Shizi once gathered under the banner of the Fushe and wanted to continue the righteousness of Donglin, but as soon as Zhang Pu died, no one could carry this banner, and finally became an entertainment club for talented and beautiful people.

Zhu Cihong remembered that Shen Tingyang also had an inextricable relationship with the Fushe, and said with a smile: "It's me who is too careful and misunderstands the two gentlemen." ”

"There is really no one with great strength in the East Palace." Feng Yuanbiao said helplessly: "The minister's recommendation of Wu Fu is indeed out of justice. ”

Zhu Cihong was said by Feng Yuanbiao to feel more and more guilty. He knows very well that Wu Fu's talent is good, and he does have the posture of being a master. In the outer residence of the East Palace, Liu Ruoyu can see a Forbidden City, Wu Weiye can only see an office, and as a prince, he also needs a real Zaifu who can have a bird's-eye view of the world.

Now Shoufu Chen Yan is a mediocre person; Jiang Dejing is in control of the household department, and it is impossible for him to go to Luoyang with the prince; Huang Jingfang is already vehemently demanding retirement; Although Wei Zaode is the champion of Chongzhen for three years, he is also a grass with embroidered pillows. If Wu Fu can be pulled out of the edict prison, it is impossible for him to regain his appearance, but he can hang the name of a prince's guest and walk in the East Palace Curtain.

"Two gentlemen," Zhu Cihong said, "As a son of man, I dare not have the slightest disobedience with the imperial father. Wu Fu is a hand-picked criminal, is it really worth my reprimand? ”

"Your Royal Highness's pure filial piety is seen by the world." Feng Yuanbiao took a breath and said stiffly: "However, the talent of the prime minister was originally unborn, and Wu Fu was wasted in prison because of this talent, which is really a pity for the world." ”

"Wu Fu can really help the world?"

"As long as Wu Fu is willing to do it, there is absolutely nothing that cannot be done." Feng Yuanbiao coughed twice: "The minister thinks he is comparable to one person." ”

"Who?"

"Wanli Shoufu, Jiangling Zhang Juzheng." Feng Yuanbiao pressed the itch in his lungs and said loudly: "Your Highness wants to achieve great things, and you should have his help." ”

Zhang Juzheng's house was raided after his death, and he was not the best example for the Ming courtiers. But he tried his best to pass the test during his tenure, which did make the dull Daming glow with vitality and potential again. Regardless of his personal character, no one can question his talents. Feng Yuanbiao compared Wu Fu to Zhang Juzheng, which can be said to be extremely high praise.

Zhu Cihong has passed the age of chasing stars, and he pays more attention to the improvement of his overall strength. However, seeing that a Wang Zuozhi is on the side, but he can't put it in the middle, it is indeed a pity.

"This soldier has always had a reputation for things like a god," Zhu Cihong said with a smile: "I will be as good as a stream, and go to the emperor to ask for someone!" ”

When Li Banghua heard this, the wrinkles on his face also wiped out a lot of smiles, and said: "Wu Fu is stubborn, if His Highness really wants to accept him, he should go and meet him in person." ”

"If it is really Wang Zuozhicai, I will naturally go to the edict to welcome him." Zhu Cihong said: "When the time comes, I would like to thank the two gentlemen for recommending good talents and helping me to do my best." ”

Feng Yuanbiao knew that he had taken a great risk by recommending one person so strongly. Once Wu Fu offends His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future, it is inevitable that he will be implicated.

Thinking about his illness, he has already written several letters to ask for Zhishi, and he can do something for the imperial court, so he can only recommend a few good talents. He had already recommended Li Banghua or Shi Kefa to take over as the secretary of the military department, but there was no approval yet. The last time I talked to the prince about this, the prince was noncommittal. If Wu Fu can use it, there will be no more things to worry about in his own military department. (To be continued......)
