Chapter 17 The power of heaven is unpredictable
The first wind and rain drifted away
In May, the sun is thick and the spring is thick, and more than a dozen palace maids in the Qianqing Palace are walking with cheerful steps, holding wine and food everywhere, and they are very busy.
The clothes on his body are still in tatters, and it will take some time for the new clothes to pass, but the food in the palace has improved significantly recently.
Life is gradually getting better, and the smile comes from the heart, and there is no longer a pile of false smirks like before.
In the entire Qianqing Palace, a relaxed atmosphere inadvertently fluttered, sweeping away the decadence of the past.
After the end of the small court meeting, Emperor Chongzhen gave a banquet to the first assistant Wen Tiren and the second assistant Wang Yingxiong, and the three of them discussed important matters.
Of course, it was Emperor Chongzhen's statement to say that the talks, but in the hearts of the two cabinet scholars, it would obviously be more appropriate to say that they were instructed.
Because, during the whole process, the emperor did not consult them for any advice, but only explained and let them carry it out.
There are many details in this, and the emperor has written a few points of one, two, three, and four, so that they must supervise the courtiers to handle it accordingly.
After a while, the eunuch came in to tell them that the wine and food were ready, and Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said to them cordially:
"Two Aiqing, let's talk while eating."
Wen Tiren hurriedly took out the impeachment fold from his cuffs, bowed down and handed it to Emperor Chongzhen.
This is the result of his painstaking concocting for one night, and I believe the emperor will like it.
Emperor Chongzhen took it and hurriedly browsed it, and found that Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin who had been locked up in his cell, was listed in the first place, with the approximate acres of land and the amount of money assessed.
Gently put this fold on the imperial case, Emperor Chongzhen pondered the joints.
For Qian Qianyi, Emperor Chongzhen understood it this way.
Lustful, very rich, but more afraid of death.
The mites went south and made things that the water was too cold and the scalp was itchy, and they were laughed at by the world.
After surrendering, witnessing the atrocities of Jiannu, I have a little conscience.
Seeing the captured Emperor Hongguang, all the ministers laughed, but he was the only one who wept and wept.
Under the persuasion of Hao Xiao Sanliu, he betrayed the information to Nanming, scattered all his family resources to donate to the Ming army, and asked his disciple Zheng Chenggong to raise an army to resist the mite Qing.
was captured and imprisoned twice, and it can be regarded as suffering some hardships.
But a traitor is a traitor, enjoying the benefits of the Ming Dynasty all his life, and being prosperous and rich for life.
Especially as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, he is not an ordinary person, and he should set an example and temper the world.
You are allowed to escape, or you can escape into the mountains, but you can't surrender and break people's hearts.
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen believed that if he did something wrong, he would be responsible for his actions.
Otherwise, it will be difficult to soothe the hearts of the people of the world, and it will be an injustice to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives to resist the Qing Dynasty, and it must be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Of course, it doesn't matter if you kill him or not, it's just a stinky skin, mainly on the spiritual level.
However, it also depends on his performance and whether he is willing to make meritorious contributions.
There's one thing, if he's willing to do it, and it doesn't hurt to go around his dog's life.
Just depriving him of all his property without thinking about it, how can this grandson traitor live so happily?
"Eat first." In Wen Tiren's longing eyes, Emperor Chongzhen Shi Shiran took the lead in walking out of the Winter Warm Pavilion.
And the play!
Wen Tiren and Wang Yingxiong glanced at each other and followed behind.
Xinuan Pavilion, the place where Emperor Chongzhen set up a banquet.
The upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty adopted a meal system, with Emperor Chongzhen in the center, Wen Tiren and Wang Yingxiong on the left and right. On the not tall mahogany table, the fragrance is bursting, and the dishes are quite rich.
The three of them sat down separately, toasted and drank together, chatting about the world, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
After a few glasses of wine, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly asked Wen Shoufu coldly, "Wen Aiqing, why don't you see Zhou Tingru's name in that compromise?" ”
"Your Majesty ......" Wen Tiren blushed, but fortunately there was wine to cover his face, he glanced at Emperor Chongzhen with some weakness, and said thoughtfully:
"Your Majesty, after all, they were all cabinet colleagues in the past, and they had some affection, so Weichen couldn't wipe his face and couldn't do it, so please forgive the emperor."
Wen Tiren is embarrassed to talk about face and affection?
An old politician wants face? Do you have a relationship with Zhou Tingru? Didn't you stab that knife back then?
Emperor Chongzhen seemed to have a smile on his face, holding a wine glass to respect Wen Tiren, who was a little embarrassed, and said something that made him almost choke to death.
"Since Aiqing has a relationship with him, I think of Fu Zhou Tingru and let him replace Zhang Zhifa, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, what do the two Aiqing think?"
Poof......
Caught with one's pants down! Onslaught!
Wen Tiren, who accepted the emperor's toast, was still in his stomach for half a glass of wine, and was suddenly choked so much that the wine overflowed the corners of his mouth, and he was afraid that the king would lose his manners, so he hurriedly covered his mouth with the brocade on the table, and his face was flushed.
It's going to die!
What does the Son of Heaven think?
Zhou Tingru is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he will inevitably enter the cabinet with his prestige.
I blame myself for not cutting the grass and roots, ignoring it!
"Aiqing slow down......"
Emperor Chongzhen looked concerned, but his heart was very sour.
Let you be shrewd, you will know how to speculate on my mind all day long, and you can still keep eight or nine from ten, so you have to do it?
Comrade Taizu Zhu Chongba said: Literati can use it, but they can't kiss it!
Compared with the straightness of the generals, the femininity of the literati is undoubtedly more terrifying, which is why Emperor Chongzhen kept beating Wen Tiren.
If you want to be of great use, you must first surrender to him, otherwise you will be despised by him and then deceived.
However, it is also necessary to be careful that it is too much!
Emperor Chongzhen waved his dragon robe and signaled the palace maids and eunuchs serving in the palace to retreat, ready to have a heart-to-heart relationship with the biggest horse boy under his command.
Although he has no experience in being the emperor, Emperor Chongzhen, who had been a regional manager before the crossing, knew that when he arrived at the new company, he must have some henchmen.
You can talk about what to do with the company employees left by your predecessor while drinking, chatting, and playing cards.
And they have to do the dirty work.
"Aiqing misunderstood!"
After the personnel left, Emperor Chongzhen said to the two cabinet scholars who looked a little dignified: "The Ming Dynasty is full of wind and rain, but the courtiers ignore the national crisis and quarrel endlessly!"
There are more and more people who can speak, and fewer and fewer people who can do it.
They only know that home is their home, but the country is not their country, and they do not know at all that if there is no country, where is the home?
Every time I think of this, I can't be angry, but it's hard to distinguish between loyalty and treachery? ”
Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen slammed his fist on the table, depressed.
This is his true state of mind, there are many ministers in the Ming Dynasty, as a traverser, he knows that the loyal traitors are limited, and he can't kill them all, right?
If you do this, are you really alone?
I'm afraid this is digging your own grave!
Below, Wen Tiren and Wang Yingxiong didn't understand if they wanted to break their heads, what does this have to do with Zhou Tingru?
Can Zhou Tingru distinguish loyalty and treachery?
Otherwise, how could the emperor mention this for no reason?
It's so unpredictable!
