Chapter 9 Famous Ministers and Good Generals
The sky is slightly bright, and the pilgrimage meeting has begun.
This is the first big court meeting after the 9,000-year-old is over, and the Donglin Party is already gearing up and ready to beat the water dogs.
As soon as Li Yunze sat down, the Donglin Party here couldn't wait to jump out and launch a fierce offensive.
The halls that were impassioned, spittle, and roaring seemed to tremble.
Li Yunze, who heard it from the beginning to the end, roughly understood what they meant.
First of all, it is necessary to severely punish the eunuchs, not let go of any of them, and fight to the death.
This matter is understandable, after all, the Donglin Party was beaten too badly by the eunuch party a few years ago, what Donglin Five Tigers, Six Gentlemen, Eight Gentlemen or something. Either he was killed, or he was demoted and died of anger and illness.
For example, the famous Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others were already hanging up at this time.
The Donglin Party wants revenge, which is understandable.
And then there is, I recommend the ministers.
The Ming Cabinet was originally just an institution similar to the secretary's desk, but with the evolution of time, the cabinet has become a place to control national politics and hold the power of the prime minister.
The position of cabinet minister has become the focus of contention among various forces.
If you want to recommend cabinet ministers, the premise is to first pull down the current cabinet elders, so today's Donglin Party's firepower is concentrated on a few cabinet elders.
Li Yunze's eyes looked at Gu Bingqian, the first assistant of the cabinet, "They impeached you, defend yourself." ”
At this time, almost all of the elders of the cabinet were eunuchs.
Because their status is too high, they were not captured in the previous arrest, after all, only the emperor has the right to dispose of the cabinet elders.
Gu Bingqian, who was almost eighty years old, saluted tremblingly, "The old minister is guilty, please be gracious to Your Majesty." ”
According to the rules, even if you are guilty after the age of seventy, you must give dignity. This is a manifestation of the traditional Chinese virtue of respecting the old and loving the young.
Gu Bingqian's meaning is to admit guilt and accept punishment, and only ask Li Yunze to give him a way to live.
Of course, Li Yunze is a person who respects the old and loves the young, but the premise is that you can't be a criminal.
What kind of person Gu Bingqian is, Li Yunze knows very well.
"You want decency, you can. Go to the edict and ask the Jinyi guards what they mean, and if they agree, then give you decency. ”
Li Yunze waved his hand, and Wang Chengen, who was on the side, immediately beckoned the Han general to step forward, took off Gu Bingqian's official hat, and dragged him out of the hall directly.
Seeing that the cabinet chief assistant was finished, the remaining elders, Huang Liji, who killed Xiong Tingbi with a note, proposed to build an ancestral hall for Wei Zhongxian, Shi Fenglai, and Zhang Ruitu, who wrote an inscription for Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall, took off their official hats and saluted, claiming guilty.
"Guilty or not, go to the edict to defend yourself."
As the Han generals dragged several cabinet elders away, the entire cabinet was empty in an instant, and only the last Li Guopu remained.
Theoretically speaking, to deal with ministers with the status of cabinet elders, they must be interrogated by the three divisions.
But Li Yunze has just gotten rid of the nine thousand years old, and his prestige is rising.
The eunuchs fell, the Donglin Party beat the water dogs, and no one in the court would say good things for them.
The Donglin Party decided to make persistent efforts and kill the last cabinet elder, Li Guopu, so that all the places vacated could be replaced by their people.
In the matter, Liu Honghua came out to make a fort, "The minister impeached Li Guopu is the remnant of the eunuch party, and he is a fellow villager with that Wei rebel!" ”
Li Yunze smiled, "Wei Zhongxian's fellow villagers have gone more, this can't be counted as a crime." If you talk about this, then send you to his hometown and talk to the locals. ”
Liu Honghua was dumbfounded, if he really went to Wei Zhongxian's hometown and said that the locals were eunuchs, would he be able to come back alive?
A smart person immediately noticed Li Yunze's intentions, this is to protect Li Guopu.
They immediately skipped the matter and began to recommend the ministers instead.
The reason why Li Yunze left Li Guopu is very simple, because the history books say that this person can do things and is loyal.
This is above the court, this is a very rare character.
The Donglin Party recommended Liu Yixian, Han Yi, Qian Longxi and others to enter the cabinet, trying to create a 'Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty' that completely belonged to the Donglin Party. ’
For these recommendations, Li Yunze did not allow any of them.
He motioned to Wang Chengen, who immediately began to read it with a holy decree in his hand.
"Fengtian carries the emperor: the edict says: There are... Sun Chengzong... Xu Guangqi... Zhang Chun... Sun Chuanting... Wen Tiren..."
Five people have been added to the cabinet, and the number of Li Guopu left behind is enough.
Among them, Sun Chengzong is a member of the Donglin Party, and his qualifications are very old, which is nothing to say.
But the rest of the people, the Donglin Party didn't recognize it, and they immediately made a noise in the court.
Li Yunze is not a good-looking Zhu Youzhen, and immediately signaled to Honglu Temple, "Roaring court, how to deal with it?" ”
"Fight in court."
"Pull it out and fight!"
The Han generals immediately sang in response to the chorus and rushed up to drag out the shouting Donglin Party.
There is no doubt that Li Yunze is in Liwei.
At this time, the eunuch party fell, and the bigwigs of the Donglin Party were either hung up or dismissed from their posts at home, and there were only two or three kittens in the court.
This is Li Yunze's best opportunity to grasp power, and of course he will not let it go.
As for saying that the court battle will give the beaten person a reputation and face or something, Li Yunze doesn't care at all.
This move of the Donglin Party can intimidate Zhu Youzhen, but it can't scare him.
If you dare to make trouble, you will be beaten, beaten to the service or beaten to death.
"Sun Chengzong is the first assistant of the cabinet, and Wen Tiren is the second assistant." After finishing speaking, Li Yunze got up and "retreated." ”
Needless to say, Sun Chengzong's name was a loyal and famous minister whose family was martyred.
Xu Guangqi is a great scientist, and after entering the cabinet, he is in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, which is the most suitable.
Zhang Chun seems to have an inconspicuous reputation, but he is a very capable minister.
He was born in a human body, fought bloody battles with wild boar skins for many years, and killed many Houjin generals.
After the defeat and capture of the Battle of Dalinghe, unlike Hong Chengchou, who surrendered, he chose to go on a hunger strike and die for the country.
Capable and loyal, of course qualified to join the cabinet.
Sun Chuanting doesn't need to say much, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he was on the same level as Lu Xiangsheng.
As for Wen Tiren, there is no doubt that he is a traitor, but Li Yunze chose him to join the cabinet.
The reason is very simple, Sun Chengzong was going to be sent to Liaodong to serve as the capital division as a strategic commander.
Zhang Chun also wanted to go to Liaodong as a tactical commander.
Sun Chuanting is going to Shaanxi to deal with the rogues, and Xu Guangqi is doing technology.
The rest of Wen Tiren and Li Guopu were specially left by Li Yunze as a microphone.
Only by controlling the cabinet can it be convenient for Li Yunze to save the Ming Dynasty.
Back in the imperial study, Li Yunze instructed Wang Chengen to "go and pass the decree and order a few people to return to Beijing." ”
"Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Cao Wenzhao, Cao Bianjiao, Lu Xiangsheng. Let them each lead their troops into Beijing. ”
There are actually a lot of famous generals in the Chongzhen Dynasty who can fight, but they are all too miserable.
The things Li Yunze mentioned are all pillars.
Li Yunze, who had already been disappointed in the Ming army, was determined to rebuild the new army. These famous generals are the commanders of the new army that he has designated.
"And."
Li Yunze remembered that Mao Wenlong, who had always insisted on guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, "sent a reward of 100,000 taels of silver to Dongjiang Town, and another 200,000 stone of grain, and a hundred jars of imperial wine." You personally went to Dongjiang Town to tell Mao Wenlong that I have not forgotten their contributions to the Ming Dynasty, let them work hard, and there will be a heavy reward after the recovery of Liaodong. ”
"Then the decree was passed on, and Sun Yuan was reinstated as the governor of Denglai, and the governor took over the logistics affairs of various places in Liaodong on the Dongjiang River. Send a team of Jinyi guards to Denglai with Sun Yuanhua, and behead all those souls who are drifting by sea! ”
Wang Chengen saluted respectfully, "Obey the order." ”
"Wait."
When Wang Chengen was about to go out, Li Yunze, who suddenly thought of something, stopped him, "Don't set off yet, send a fast horse to call Sun Yuanhua back to Beijing first, and then we will go together." ”
As soon as these words came out, Wang Chengen's legs were suddenly frightened and fell to the ground, "The emperor's golden body, how can he be a white dragon fish suit..."
"Shut up, fuck off."
As the decrees were issued, the fate of many characters also changed.
A number of famous ministers and good generals entered Beijing one after another, and every time they came back, Li Yunze would summon them to a banquet on the platform, and then arrange specific duties for them to do things.
During this period, Li Yunze also returned to the modern world and received the artificial rainfall system and second-hand fishing boats and other materials he had purchased before, all of which were stored in his rented warehouse and dock.
On November 26, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Li Yunze went directly out of Chaoyangmen without notifying the hundred officials.
The entire capital that got the news was in an uproar.
Since Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao, the Ming Emperors have been hiding in the Forbidden City as otaku for hundreds of years.
Not to mention going out of Beijing, even going out of the palace is rare.
Li Yunze wants to leave Beijing, which is tantamount to dropping a bombshell.
The hundreds of officials and nobles collectively wanted to stop it, but they couldn't form a scale without taking the lead.
At this time, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Chun had already gone to Liaodong, and Sun Chuanting had already gone to Shaanxi.
As for Wen Tiren, who is known as the emperor's echo worm, he traveled with the cabinet seal.
The rest of Xu Guangqi and Li Guopu didn't dare to meddle in their affairs. Even if the officials jumped to their feet in a hurry, they just shook their heads.
Someone wanted to ask Empress Dowager Zhang to come forward, but the palace ban that had just been cleaned was extremely strict, and the news could not be transmitted at all.
There were also people who went to Chaoyangmen to block them, but they were driven away by the sergeant from afar.
As for those nobles, all those who appeared in Chaoyangmen took Li Yunze's words.
"Carry weapons, wear armor, carry a strong bow, and ride a horse with a frame."
There are many nobles in the Ming Dynasty, but years of glory and wealth have already corroded them, which is known by looking at the Dream of Red Mansions.
But now that Li Yunze had already spoken, they could only bite the bullet and ask the servants to hurry home to get weapons and armor.
After the news spread, those nobles who did not come to Chaoyangmen also urgently mobilized their children and took the initiative to report for duty.
Unlike those officials who can retire with their bones, the nobles live by the emperor in the true sense of the word.
The emperor was satisfied, and the nobles were prosperous and rich.
The emperor was not satisfied, and there was nothing difficult except for their titles.
The reason why the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are not as good as the next generation is largely because they hide in the Forbidden City all the year round, cannot get in touch with the real people's livelihood, and are trapped in the information cocoon.
Li Yunze is different, he is not a person who only knows how to hide and have fun.
The traveling team waited outside Chaoyang Gate for a morning, dispersing hundreds of officials and honoring nobles into the ranks until the third pole of the day.
"Who else?"
"Emperor, no one has come to stop you for an hour."
"Let's go!"
Li Yunze had to do a lot of things, such as putting fishing boats into the Bohai Bay to fish, experimenting with artificial rainfall systems, and surveying the construction routes from Beijing to Tianjinwei along the way.
By the way, I have to see with my own eyes along the way, what is the level of living standards of the people in the Ming Dynasty.
The official road system of the Ming Dynasty was very developed, but the quality was worrying.
The road from Tongzhou to the capital is also a dirt road with sunny and dusty rainy days.
Li Yunze planned to build a road to Tianjinwei and, if possible, a railway. After that, it can be used to transport troops, food, people and goods by sea.
Sea freight is the most convenient, fast and efficient way in this era.
After an afternoon journey, the travel team came to Tongzhou, which was dozens of miles away.
