Chen Hongfan, Zhu Cihong knows this person.

In the past, in my spare time in the school office, I used the computer to check various characters related to the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and this Chen Hongfan is a proper traitor!

To what extent did the traitors go, they were first reused during the Chongzhen period, and after the Qing army entered the customs, they surrendered, and finally they were appointed as spies.

That's right, it's a spy, in today's words, it's called a spy and a meticulous worker.

Why did Zhu Cihong finally take down a member of the Donglin Party, but instead let Zuo Maodi, who was born in Donglin, take over as the imperial history of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?

Because Zuo Maodi is a person who can be called the late Ming Dynasty version of Wen Tianxiang, he has no party affiliation.

As a member of the Donglin Party, he repeatedly impeached the corpses of important members of the Donglin Party, but pointed out in his notes that Chen Hongfan, the governor of Caojiang, who was close to the Donglin Party, was a spy of the Taqing Dynasty.

If you have to pick a party for him, then he is the Ming Party, and for the survival of the Ming Dynasty, he will do anything.

Zuo Maodi in history, also worthy of his title of "Ming Ji Wen Tianxiang", refused Dolgon's invitation to be crowned king, and died of hunger strike after being captured.

Such a person is trustworthy, and it is most appropriate to hand over such an important position as the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to him.

Wang Duo went back, and soon discussed with his colleagues in Donglin, and said Zhu Cihong's request, and not surprisingly, they all accepted.

At least Zuo Maodi is not a "eunuch party", and he can save Li Zhan's life and let him continue to hold important positions, which is also in the interests of the Donglin Party.

The next day, Zhu Cihong held a court meeting.

Wang Duo, the second assistant of the cabinet, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers will discuss with the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, and they unanimously agree that Li Zhan's behavior is indeed true, but his original intention is for the Ming Dynasty after all, and it can be forgiven. ”

Li Zhan was not guilty of death, and he was demoted to the left deputy capital Yushi to supervise the defense of Nanjing. The new Zuodu Imperial History, the cabinet has been elected, and His Majesty is invited to take a look. ”

Zhu Cihong picked it up, looked at it carefully, and said: "Zuo Maodi is the current left deputy capital imperial history, and he enters the left capital imperial history to take charge of the capital inspection institute. ”

"Your Majesty, long live, long live!" Wang Duo immediately knelt down and led his ministers to shout.

Zuo Maodi didn't expect to recommend himself, so he immediately came out of the ranks, knelt down and said: "The minister respectfully obeys the holy decree, thank Your Majesty for your trust." ”

"The minister has the right to play."

All of a sudden, the eyes of the ministers converged.

This Zuo Maodi is really not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he has to burn this fire as soon as he takes office?

What Zhu Cihong wants is Zuo Maodi's spirit, which is what these Donglin ministers present lack, and it is also the spirit that Daming lacks the most now.

So he raised his hand and asked Zuo Maodi to continue talking.

"I have two suggestions."

"First, it is advisable to open a prison. The new dynasty's finances were insufficient, and even the military salaries in various places were stretched, so it was possible to make the children of wealthy families in various places donate gold and silver to give them the status of prisoners. ”

This article alone caused many courtiers to talk about each other.

What's more, he has been sneering constantly, thinking that this Zuo Maodi is really a mouthful.

Zhu Cihong smiled, this Zuo Maodi, he really didn't take himself as a Donglin person, he didn't look at those Donglin parties, and gritted his teeth righteously.

As soon as this opinion is spoken, I'm afraid that the Donglin Party will regret agreeing to let him be the imperial history of the left capital, right?

After all, as soon as the prison is opened, you can get the title of the prisoner of the Guozijian by donating money, and the most important thing is that the "prisoner" can directly participate in the imperial examination and get the talent examination.

Zuo Maodi's words are in the words, called Kaina Jian Yishi's treasury, which actually shook the situation of collusion between the Donglin Party and the Fushe to manipulate the imperial examination.

Those who have wealth can be paid as prisoners, and there are not many people who participate in the imperial examination?

The children of generals, wealthy families, merchants, and even those who sell fish along the coast and those who sell salt in Shandong can all participate in the imperial examination as long as they pay a price of some silver.

The people who have resumed the society want to continue to control the imperial examination and lead the protégés of the important members of the dynasty to enter the office, but I am afraid that it will be even more difficult.

After all, those wealthy families whose power should not be underestimated, naturally they are unwilling to let their children be compared to those who have been restored to the society in the imperial examination.

The opponents of the Restoration Society, that is too many.

This is a trick to fight poison with poison, but it is very much in line with Zhu Cihong's mind, so he laughed and said: "This first one, I am approved, what about the second one?" ”

What, the emperor actually got it?

Isn't this to dig the foundation of our Donglin?

Zuo Maodi ignored the sarcastic eyes of his colleagues around him, and continued with a sullen head: "Second, the minister suggested that the joint Kou be exiled and pardon those officials who surrendered to Shun and Qing. ”

Liankou chased the prisoners, and finally someone brought it up.

The reason why Nanming gradually lost the hearts of the people is because he was complacent, the capital of the country was destroyed, and he still regarded himself as the Celestial Empire and refused to think about change.

Dashun is like this now, according to the timeline, Li Zicheng will die in Jiugong Mountain next month, what will Dashun do when the gang does?

Do you just sit and wait for them to be the same as in history, the one who descends to the clear, and the one who divides the split?

No, I'm going to take it all!

Now I can't care too much, we must focus on attacking the heart, Zuo Maodi's suggestions are very forward-looking, attacking the battle secondary, and attacking the heart first.

Zuo Maodi said: "The minister has seen many people who have surrendered to Shun and Qing, or who have lost their way and returned to their hometowns, or who have no ambitions and miss their own dynasty. ”

"But when they arrived in Nanjing, most of them were not tolerated, and even more so in the former dynasty Hongguang, these people probably surrendered to Tatar Qing in the end."

"If Your Majesty issues a holy decree to forgive their sins, it will be a benevolent and holy act, and it will be more benevolent and show our kindness."

Zuo Maodi's words simply said that Zhu Cihong was in his heart.

The opinions he put forward today are all what Zhu Cihong has always wanted to say, this person is really the right one!

Zhu Cihong nodded and said, "I'm right, Aiqing will tell me in detail, what is Liankou Pingyu?" ”

Zuo Maodi was stunned, he didn't expect the emperor to agree so quickly.

He originally thought that this Prince Chongzhen would sneer at those ministers who were first Shun and then Qing, and deny his opinions like Hongguang.

Unexpectedly, this Prince Chongzhen was so reasonable and aware of the overall situation.

Zuo Maodi looked a little excited, and said after a while: "The minister thinks that the threat to the Ming Dynasty today is no longer a thief or a thief, but a Tatar Qing who has entered the customs." ”

"The previous dynasty has its own past, and this dynasty still has its own feelings. Your Majesty should put aside the martyrdom of the first emperor for the time being, unite all forces, and expel the Tartars back to their hometown of Jianzhou. ”

"The minister knows that His Majesty is still angry about the martyrdom of the first emperor, but once the thief is destroyed and the Central Plains is all in captivity, the situation will be completely out of control."

Zhu Cihong's current identity, after all, is Prince Chongzhen.

When he heard this, he agreed with it in his heart, but he could not behave like this, and even he was furious, and shouted angrily:

"Zuo Maodi, you are presumptuous——!"

"My father, the emperor, has been thinking about it for seventeen years, and he was killed by those rebels, but you asked me to unite those rebels?"

"If there were no these rebels and thieves to trouble the Central Plains, how could the Jiashen change come from, and how could the Tartars sit in the big way?"

"I ask you, what kind of heart do you have?"
