Chapter 110: No Kidding

"Is it really unsealable?" Zhu Changwu knew that this was the case, but he still asked these words, in order to pave the way for other people to become officials.

"Yes." Chongzhen nodded helplessly, he regretted it now. If he knew this, he shouldn't have been impulsive and sealed a prince and young master in the first place, but now it's okay, it's almost to the top, and he has little room to operate.

"Okay, I understand Your Majesty, so I don't want any reward, but the people below me are going to be officials." Zhu Changwu saw that the time was almost up, so he sighed, as if he had made a big concession.

Originally, Chongzhen was ready for Zhu Changwu to be angry, and it was possible to even scold himself.

This Zhu Changwu is a person from later generations, unlike those courtiers, he can really scold people. Even if Chongzhen is the emperor, after all, the current Ming is too weak, and his so-called orthodoxy in the world is not as good as Li Zicheng who broke into the thieves and Dolgon who built slaves, and he knows this self-knowingly.

It's just that he didn't expect that Zhu Changwu would really admit it, and turn to become an official for his subordinates.

As long as Zhu Changwu doesn't want to be rewarded, as long as he doesn't get angry, other things will naturally be easy to do, and Chongzhen came to the spirit at the moment, and immediately said: "This is natural." This time, the generals will make meritorious contributions, and they should be rewarded. ”

"Well, if that's the case, the minister will be bold." Zhu Changwu had a smile on his face.

But no matter how you look at it, there is a strange aura in this smile. Chongzhen suddenly had a bad feeling, but at this time he still nodded and said, "Zhu Qing, please speak." ”

"Your Majesty asked me to say, then I will say that Hu Yunfeng performed very well in this battle, and I think he should be named the commander of the five armies, and the security of the city defense of the Beijing division should be handed over to him; Liang Jun also performed very well, especially he showed good military command ability and strategic planning ability in this battle, and it should not be too much to make him a military secretary. ”

"Zhang Ao, His Majesty knows this person, and he is a good hand at taking care of money, so he should be appointed as the secretary of the household department."

"And Wu Linzheng, this is a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, he has always been loyal, and there is no problem with any deputy commander of the Fifth Army, right, Your Majesty."

Chongzhen at this meeting had already been confused by Zhu Changwu's lion mouth.

What is there no problem, this is about to leave two Shangshu positions at once, this Zhu Changwu is not joking with himself.

A book of books, that is definitely the minister of the court, even the feudal officials can't compare, and this is a position of real power, and I usually don't know how many courtiers want to break their heads for this. But how can it be placed in Zhu Changwu's eyes, as if it is a county order, and it will be given out if it is given?

Chongzhen stopped talking, he had nothing to say.

But Zhu Changwu didn't mean to stop, but continued to speak: "Your Majesty, remember what I just said, a lion with a flock of sheep can defeat a sheep with a flock of lions? A department, a good leader, that is very important. And as long as the leader's arrangement is understood, there will be many things that His Majesty doesn't need to worry about at all, isn't it beautiful? ”

"In fact, I have always thought that over the years, the leaders have not arranged it clearly, so that some people are wrapped in corpses. Especially like the household department and the military department, one is in charge of money and the other is in charge of the army. If they have a problem, then Daming will have a problem. ”

Seeing that Zhu Changwu was going to continue to talk about the truth, Chongzhen, who couldn't bear it, directly interrupted him and said, "Zhu Qing, that's not what he said. The leader is important, but it is not something that can be chosen casually. The world is so big, there are many capable people, is it said that a capable person should be assigned a high position for him? ”

"Also, what Zhu Qing just said is that the household department and the military department are very important, which I recognize. Because of this, these two books should be carefully chosen..."

"What? Didn't Your Majesty choose well before? Zhu Changwu interrupted what Chongzhen was about to say.

Isn't it just a debate, with Zhu Changwu's experience, mainly his insight, how can it be compared with people in this era?

"Zhang Jinyan is the secretary of the military department selected by His Majesty, but the facts have already proved that he has a big problem. This makes one wonder what His Majesty is looking for, right? ”

Zhu Changwu suddenly picked up Zhang Jinyan, who had made a big mistake and was beheaded, to say something, which suddenly made Chongzhen feel speechless.

Chongzhen stopped talking, but Zhu Changwu didn't let go of the other party's meaning, and continued to speak: "There are also Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, Yang Guanguan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Dehua, the Duke of Dongchang, and..."

"Enough, don't say any more." Chongzhen's voice suddenly became louder, stopping Zhu Changwu from continuing.

Isn't this just tearing open his scars, and sprinkling salt on them, how can Chongzhen stand it.

Chongzhen was so angry, Wang Chengen immediately felt that he had a place to play, and immediately shouted loudly: "Zhu Changwu, you are bold." ”

"Shut up."

At the critical moment, how could Zhu Changwu allow Wang Chengen to jump out and stir up the situation, and he directly replied to the past. "I didn't see that I was discussing national affairs with Your Majesty, Taizu had already said that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, if you force it again, believe it or not, I will break your leg and make you completely disabled."

"You..." Wang Chengen was angry and wanted to stretch out his hand to Zhu Changwu.

But followed by Zhu Changwu's eyes were wide, there was a big look, if you dare to stretch out your finger, I will break it for you, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Wang Chengen is very favored by Chongzhen, and he is indeed a loyal minister. But if you really anger Zhu Changwu and let Chongzhen choose between the two, what the result will be, just think about it with your big fingers and toes, you know.

And once he is beaten into a cripple, how can he serve Chongzhen, with the urine nature of these eunuchs, I am afraid that it will not take long, and it will be difficult for Wang Chengen to die.

Seeing Zhu Changwu angry, Wang Chengen knew that he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he had to obediently close his mouth.

Wang Chengen didn't say anything, but Zhu Changwu didn't mean to stop, and continued to look at Chongzhen's body and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, your ability to choose people as officials is really ordinary. If it weren't for that, Da Ming wouldn't be like this now. And now the Ming Dynasty, do you think there are any loyal ministers to speak of? Even if you choose, I'm afraid that there is no suitable person, so why can't you use the person I recommend? ”

Zhu Changwu was angry just now, and Chongzhen naturally noticed this scene.

Although he said cruel things to Wang Chengen, Chongzhen was not stupid and knew that this was someone beating him.

Like before, the ministers also often beat Chongzhen, and he is used to this point. Seeing that Zhu Changwu was angry, and he really didn't have a suitable candidate, Chongzhen had to sigh and said: "Okay, what Zhu Qing said has some truth, there is no problem with the general named Hu Yunfeng who is the commander of the Fifth Army, and Wu Linzheng is also an old minister, this time he also shows his loyalty to Daming, and he has no problem as the deputy commander." But who is that Liang Jun? I'm not familiar with him. ”

"Oh, yes, there's also the one named Zhang Ao, I know him, but what other ability does he have besides being able to speak? Is it because he copied the house a few times that he was able to serve as the head of the household? Isn't that child's play? ”

Chongzhen decided to give in, like Hu Yunfeng and Wu Linzheng's recommendation, and he agreed. But he wanted to suppress the other two, which was also called an exchange.

You Zhu Changwu can ask for a price all over the sky, can I Chongzhen also bargain on the ground?

Chongzhen thought that he had given in, Zhu Changwu should have accepted it when he saw it, and he didn't expect that this time people didn't mean to bargain with him.

Do you really think it's business? I make a price, and you still want to pay it back?

The current Da Ming is already terminally ill, and if he wants to solve the problem, he can't solve it by Zhu Changwu alone. He needs a helper, and he needs a helper to be in a high position.

Zhu Changwu will not easily believe in these current courtiers, so he can only recommend his own people.

This is also a virtuous person who does not shy away from relatives.

It's ridiculous that Chongzhen didn't agree. The reason Zhu Changwu also knows, isn't he worried that he has occupied all the important positions, and he is looking back to empty him, the emperor?

It's just that if Zhu Changwu really wants to do this, will it be so troublesome? Directly now, taking advantage of Daming's weakness, he snatched the throne.

In this way, it seems that he is no different from Li Zicheng and Jiannu, but don't forget that he is surnamed Zhu, a descendant of the Zhu family who has learned the Eight Classics, and he has the blood of the Zhu family flowing in his body, with this, if he becomes the emperor, he will have a lot of advantages over others.

But Zhu Changwu didn't want to do this.

As soon as he came, he didn't have time at all, what he wanted was to expand his territory. Then which emperor have you ever seen who fights outside every day and doesn't keep his home in the palace? (Except for Su Shi's Dragon Empire)

Second, Chongzhen is still diligent and tolerant, and Zhu Changwu can accept him.

Third, if he establishes himself as the emperor, the killing will increase, Zhu Changwu wants the rise of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Han people, he doesn't want to accelerate the cannibalism of the Han people because of himself, which is contrary to his original intention.

For various reasons, Zhu Changwu still thinks that Chongzhen is more suitable than him to be the emperor. But he thought so, I'm afraid Chongzhen couldn't figure it out.

For the sake of the two Shangshu positions, he began to suspect himself, and it seems that there are some things that he needs to make clear.

"Your Majesty, I know what you're worried about, but if you think about it, if there were something I wanted to do, would you think it would be difficult? So... You think your position is very important, but it's really not in my eyes, what I want is to open up the territory with the Ming Dynasty, not to keep the success, can you understand? ”
