239 The emperor purged the officials, and the orthodox queen was blind and lame
Life after the war, simple and fulfilling.
Before the storm of the Zhengdan Dynasty, the capital was restored to a brief period of tranquility.
Zhu Qiyu's daily task is to meet with meritorious soldiers and arrange for the transfer of troops.
In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed.
On December 15, four months have passed since the Tumubao Incident.
Zhu Qiyu had already finished meeting with the meritorious soldiers, and early that morning, he summoned the ministers to come to the small court meeting.
The first thing in the early dynasty was to deal with the two officials.
Wang Zhi is already the fourth time to write and ask for Zhishi. Zhu Qiyu had long wanted to let this old Shangshu go home, but he still maintained basic decency, and Wen Yan kept it three times.
Now for the fourth time, Zhu Qiyu instructed Chen Xun: "Since Wang Aiqing has made up his mind, then the cabinet will plan to promote Wang Aiqing from the prince to the prince and the prince, and allow him to be the original official." ”
There is no personal grudge between Zhu Qiyu and Wang Zhi, and dignity is also given. After Wang Zhi became an official of the original office, he could still receive a copy of the official book, plus a copy of the prince's fortune. And after officially entering the Jingtai Dynasty, the income of hundreds of officials will rise year by year.
As for why Wang Zhi insisted on resigning, it was also because he had recently examined corrupt officials in Datong, and the more he investigated, the more frightened he became.
Wang Zhi also understood very clearly in his heart what the emperor wanted to say but did not say: All kinds of evil deeds and bad deeds of Shanxi officials, shouldn't you, the secretary of the Ministry of Shangshu and the governor of Shanxi, be responsible? But if you only want to nod your face, you will resign yourself. If you have to be embarrassed, don't blame me for being polite.
Just a few days ago, Wang Zhi took the imperial court's official newspaper and flipped through it carefully, which clearly stated the emperor's handling of Luo Hengxin:
In the past, the Warat army entered Shanxi 'silently' to set up an ambush, and then there were the guards of the Xuanfu defense area who abandoned the city and fled for no reason. The governor of Datong Xuanfu and the right deputy capital Yu Shi Luo Hengxin were negligent in their duties and neglected to supervise, and they bear unshirkable responsibility.
However, the important ministers who have been governor of Shanxi for more than ten years may not be able to pacify Shanxi. Luo Hengxin took over as governor for only one year, and the heavy punishment of his crimes was tantamount to suffering from others.
My rewards and punishments, the merits are clear, Luo Hengxin sticks to the merits of the Xuanfu and is promoted to the left deputy capital of the imperial history; With the responsibility of negligence, it was changed to a full-time governor Datong.
Wang Zhi saw the newspaper and completely understood that the emperor had always been angry about the important ministers governing Shanxi like this. It's just that for some reason, I didn't have a seizure.
So Wang Zhi decided not to test the emperor's patience anymore, and quickly ran away.
Zhu Qiyu expressed high appreciation for Wang Zhi's knowledgeable and interesting behavior, and gave him enough treatment he deserved, and he will no longer pursue all previous matters.
At this point, the first orthodox minister who completely withdrew from the stage of history appeared.
Next is Wang Ao. Wang Ao's qualifications are far less profound than Wang Zhi's, and Zhu Qiyu doesn't have so many scruples, so he said directly to Chen Xun:
"There is chaos in Huguang and Guizhou; I see that the Yao people in Guangxi and Guangdong are not very peaceful, and they can't say that they will have to make trouble one day.
These old rebellions are already very embarrassing, and if you enter the first year of Jingtai, there will be some new rebellions, it will be too unseemly. Moreover, there was already Huang Xiaoyang, a traitor in Guangdong, who was in trouble, and we didn't care about it.
Change Wang Ao to the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice, the governor of the military affairs of Liangguang, and go to pacify the people.
Previously, Guangxi was under the control of Wang Ji, the governor of the five provinces, and now Guangxi has been changed to Wang Ao, the governor. Jiangxi was included in the jurisdiction of Wang Ji, and Wang Ji was still the military affairs of the five provinces of the governor in the future. “
In the early Ming Dynasty, the emperor's power was still very large. Coupled with the prestige gained by the great victory over Wara, now Zhu Qiyu has sent away the two officials with an understatement, and there is no resistance.
Of course, there is also a big reason, that is, the emperor's decision is beneficial to the ministers present. The two important ministers walked in front, and the ranking of the ministers present in the court could be moved forward again.
The ministers even hoped in their hearts: the emperor would simply send Hu Hu back to his hometown completely, and only the emperor's cronies and a small number of neutral ministers would be left, and then everyone would live together in harmony and create a prosperous era in the Jingtai Dynasty. Isn't this much better than fighting every day?
Zhu Qiyu instructed He Wenyuan again: "The township examination will be held next year, and the next year will be the examination, this is the first imperial examination of the Jingtai Dynasty, and it must be done well."
It is necessary to be fair and just, and to select a large number of national pillars, so as to show a new dynasty and a new atmosphere for the world.
Ai Qing Mianzhi, if you hold this section to a successful conclusion, you will take over as the secretary of the ministry. If something goes wrong, let's go out of Beijing to counsel military affairs. ”
This is the emperor's clear rewards and punishments, and he wants people to go to the military counsellor at every turn.
The previous emperor liked to send his courtiers to prison at every turn, and this emperor liked to punish his courtiers to go to the military counsellor at every turn.
He Wenyuan hurriedly said that if he has the opportunity to be the secretary of the ministry, he must have to sell his strength to work.
Next, Zhu Qiyu wanted to arrange for Shi Heng's army to go south to pacify the Miao Rebellion. For the three generals Shi Heng, Sun Bo, and Liu Yongcheng, Zhu Qiyu really didn't want them to go back to Beijing. They and their 60,000 troops, once they return to the capital, will definitely be a factor of instability.
But just as Zhu Qiyu was about to speak, there was a squeak, and the door of the West Flower Hall was suddenly pushed open.
When the West Flower Hall is in the plain place, it is rarely disturbed. Therefore, everyone who was listening attentively to the emperor's speech was startled by the sudden sound of pushing the door, and hurriedly followed the prestige.
I don't know if I don't look at it, but when I look at it and jump again, it turns out to be Princess Qi who rarely shows her face in front of ministers.
The ministers who were sitting firmly hurriedly stood up, and Lin Xiangyu stood at the door and didn't go inside, just nodded apologetically to the ministers, and then quietly beckoned Zhu Qiyu to come out and speak.
Zhu Qiyu also beckoned, signaling his little princess to come in and speak. Crooked on the soft couch, warm and warm, Zhu Qiyu didn't want to go out to blow the cool breeze.
Lin Xiangyu had no choice but to come closer. Now that Wang Ao has been kicked away, there is no longer anyone who is uninformed among the important ministers present, and they all bow down to salute Princess Qi.
Lin Xiangyu politely replied, and explained to everyone with an apologetic face: "I didn't mean to interrupt everyone, everyone sits, I'll just say a few words to my husband and leave." ”
Lin Xiangyu deliberately emphasized that she was talking to her husband and expressing to the ministers that she was going to talk about private and family affairs.
Everyone expressed their understanding and sat back in their seats.
Zhu Qiyu is also very curious, what has to be said now. So he leaned slightly and leaned forward. Lin Xiangyu attached it to her ear and whispered a few words.
"Huh?!"
After hearing this, Zhu Qiyu showed surprise on his face, and his face was incredulous.
It was fine before, but all of a sudden, Queen Qian was blind and lame?
Although Zhu Qiyu knew that this would happen, he was also mentally prepared. But this incident happened without warning, and Zhu Qiyu was really a little surprised.
The dignified queen, there is still a trace of reasonableness when her eyes are blind from crying, what does it mean to cry lame in her legs?
The life-and-death struggle in the harem is much more cruel than the fight between the ministers of the previous dynasty.
Although Wenchen often fights with red faces and thick necks, like black-eyed chickens, they rarely physically harm their colleagues. If you lose the fight, the most you can do is to go home to retire, and no matter how great it is, it is to send out the army and directly engage in physical extermination, and there will not be a case in decades.
Like a harem, it is a bit inhumane to plant, frame, drug, and abort at every turn, but a group of women still come and go, and they never get tired of it, which is really terrible.
It's no wonder that their favorite concubines didn't even save the Queen Mother and refused to set foot in the Forbidden City even for the Queen Mother. I'd rather let people say that they don't understand the rules and etiquette, and they don't go to that muddy puddle to take risks.
Seeing that her husband was still stunned, Lin Xiangyu quietly pulled Zhu Qiyu's sleeve. Zhu Qiyu came back to his senses, quickly got up and stayed down, and waved his hand to everyone: "That's all here today, let's disperse." ”
Looking at the backs of the emperor and the princess leaving in a hurry, the ministers looked at each other.
This is obviously something big happened, otherwise the emperor and the princess would not have been so out of shape.
Chen Xun sighed heavily: "Oh, it's hard to live a good life, what's the matter?" ”
Wang Wen replied: "Let's hurry back to the cabinet, there is a big event, and there will be news sooner or later." We're in the Cabinet, and we'll get the news sooner. ”
So everyone went back to their yamen and waited for news.
