Chapter two hundred and ninety seventh court discussion
"What do you want them to do? A group of corrupt scholars who only talk about the country and fight for fame and fortune. They are all good at doing practical things, but when it comes to practical things, they are all fools. What can they do to them? " Chongzhen is now
The relationship with the ministers in the court was extremely tense, or the relationship between the Zhu family and the ministers had always been bad, especially after the Jiajing, Wanli and Tianqi dynasties, the two sides reached a point of harmony and separation. In addition, Chongzhen liked to be suspicious and looked in his eyes.
The ministers stayed away from him even more of his character of killing people without leaving any sand.
However, in this struggle, Chongzhen was the emperor and naturally had the advantage. He could always push all his mistakes on his subjects, and then use a big stick to directly destroy the person who made the mistakes. He was a fool of himself.
The body was destroyed, and over time, the ministers in the court discovered that as long as they did practical things, they would inevitably make mistakes, and once they made mistakes, they might lose their lives.
Under such a bad court situation, the ministers gradually became ignorant of doing things. If they did not do things, they would not make mistakes. If they did not make mistakes, Chongzhen would not find a reason to kill people, and his life would be saved.
Besides, it is so easy to talk, and he can criticize others from the commanding heights of morality. Whoever doesn’t talk is a fool. As for the court, this court is the court of their Zhu family, he doesn’t care. Why do others care about it?
"The Emperor," Wang Chengen advised, "even if other ministers only know how to compete for fame and fortune and talk big, at least Mr. Wen will not do this. Why not summon Mr. Wen and ask for a question?"
Wen Tiren? Chongzhen was speechless. Speaking of which, since Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant this year, was revealed by the censor Chen Zanhua that he had privately called Emperor Chongzhen "Emperor Xi". Speaking of which, Chongzhen really admired Zhou Yanru,
Zhou Yanru is agile, and Chongzhen often only needs a little hint that Zhou Yanru can understand his meaning. When the two cooperate, they can be considered as close as possible. Unfortunately, why can't they control their own words?
For his majesty, Chongzhen could only remove him from office in anger. Whenever he thought of this, Chongzhen couldn't help but regret it. Fortunately, Wen Qing was still with him. Now the position of chief minister is vacant. If nothing unexpected happens, this
The position Chongzhen will be handed over to Wen Tiren.
Thinking of Wen Tiren, Chongzhen hesitated and nodded in agreement, "Okay, go and invite Wen Qing over. In addition, put more ice in the hall, Wen Qing's masculine body cannot stand the heat."
"The emperor is a polite and generous minister, and he is truly a polite lord," Wang Chengen praised, "I will go now." Then, he slowly retreated.
Wen Tiren is only 44 years old this year. In this year of the average life expectancy of 40 or 50 years, the age is considered a calculation, but according to a politician, it is the golden age of a politician, and it is the peak of Spring and Autumn Period.
At this time, Wen Tiren was carefully reading the memorials sent from all over the country in the cabinet, writing his opinions on a small piece of paper, and then putting them into the memorial. This is the legendary vote.
"Geither Wen." Wang Chengen's figure appeared in this small cabinet.
Seeing Wang Chengen, Wen Tiren quickly put down the memorial in his hand and stood up to greet him: "Eunuch Wang, what kind of wind is sending you here today." Wen Tiren's duty room is in a remote corner, and the decoration of the duty room is very simple, just like
In the study of an ordinary landlord, there are very few people coming and going in this place on weekdays, which is also consistent with the image of "loving loyalty" and "integrity" that Wen Tiren has always shown.
"Master Wen Ge, the family is polite here." Wang Chengen bowed, as a greeting.
"Why should you be so polite to me?" Wen Tiren smiled long and looked very cheerful.
"George Wen, the emperor summoned me. Please follow me into the palace as soon as possible." Wang Chengen was a little anxious, but the emperor was still waiting in the Ganqing Palace.
Wen Tiren's expression stopped, then he reacted and said to Wang Chengen: "Eunuch Wang, please wait a moment, I'll clean up and come soon." As he said that, Wen Tiren quickly walked back to the duty room, and soon, he flashed. Let's go, "Eunuch Wang, let's go."
The two walked quickly towards the direction of the Ganqing Palace in the Forbidden City. On the way, Wang Chengen whispered to Wen Tiren: "The emperor received the memorial of impeachment by Jiang Yunyi, the governor of Yunyang, and Pan Shiqi, the governor of Yunyang, and Long Yan was furious." After saying that, Wang Chengen seemed to have nothing happened, so he turned his attention back to the road ahead.
Wen Tiren kept walking down, as if he hadn't heard anything. At their status, gold, silver and jewelry were no longer the only pursuit. All they wanted was how to consolidate their own status and gain a greater impact. Although Wang Chengen was right Chongzhen was loyal, but it did not prevent him from having his own political propositions, and his status also needed the strong support of the cabinet chief.
"I Wen Tiren pays homage to Your Majesty." In the Ganqing Palace, Wen Tiren respectfully bowed to Chongzhen.
"Wen Qing, please get up quickly." Chongzhen raised his hand and helped him for a moment, and said, "Great companion, give Wen Aiqing a seat."
Soon, Wang Chengen came to Wen Tiren with a brocade stool and smiled and said, "George Wen, Your Majesty knows that you have always liked cold and afraid of heat. As early as when I told you that you came, I specially went to the Ganqing Palace. I put some more ice cubes, and it’s much colder now.”
After hearing this, Wen Tiren looked excited and said gratefully: "What kind of virtue is me? I can win the love of Your Majesty so much. I thank Your Majesty." As he said that, Wen Tiren knelt on the ground again, looking grateful.
"Okay, okay, big companion, help Wen Qing up quickly." Chongzhen was quite content with his actions of winning people's hearts. Just a few simple moves can make the important officials in the court grateful. Such methods can be counted and counted. It can be considered brilliant in all dynasties, Chongzhen thought secretly.
After Wen Tiren sat back on the chair, Chongzhen then said, "Wen Qing, do you know what I told you about? "
"Report to Your Majesty, I don't know." Wen Tiren is now a "spoiled minister". How could he have such a good news as a "spoiled minister".
Chongzhen nodded secretly and said to Wen Tiren: "Wen Qing, I'm not hiding it. I have received two memorials here. You can take a look." As he said that, Chongzhen handed the memorials in his hand to Wang Chengen on the side, and Wang Chengen passed them to Warm body kernel.
In fact, Wen Tiren had read these two memorials a long time ago. According to convention, all memorials must be written by the cabinet first before they are given to the Ganqing Palace. Wen Tiren has a strong working ability, and almost all memorials must be reviewed. These two memorials are naturally no exception.
But at this time, since the emperor asked him to see it, he would just look at it again.
Wen Tiren took the memorial, held it in his hand, and looked carefully. He fell into silence in the Ganqing Palace. After a long time, Wen Tiren raised his head again and put down the memorial in his hand.
"Wen Qing, you have finished reading, what do you think?" Chongzhen spoke.
Wen Tiren organized the language in his heart and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I think both of you should be killed."
"Oh?" Chongzhen's expression suddenly became pleasant. Obviously, Wen Tiren's answer touched his itchy spot, "Wen Qing, tell me why is this?"
"Report to Your Majesty," Wen Tiren said: "No matter how these two people attack each other in their memorials, there is one thing that both of them mentioned, that is, the seven counties of Yunyang Prefecture, they forced them to rebel against the five counties, just this
One thing is to make sure that one of them is a decisive decision.”
"Besides, after forcing the rebellion against the people, the two of them not only did not send troops to suppress them, but instead shrank in the city and attacked each other, causing Pei Ni to take advantage of the opportunity outside the city. Therefore, this person dared to speculate, and it was hard to say that at this time, Yunyang Prefecture had already fallen into the trap.
It's a thief."
Speaking of this, Wen Tiren still wanted to continue talking, but only heard a touch, but Chongzhen slapped the table and walked off the dragon throne with excitement. He said as he walked: "What Wen Qing said integrates my intentions, I
The people of a government and millions of people entrusted them to these two people, but how did these two people repay me? They forced all my people to rebel. Such ministers who harmed the people and those who were incompetent, keep them.
What's the use? Wen Qing, tomorrow morning, you will write a letter to impeach these two thieves, are you willing to?"
"Eliminate harm for the people and share the worries of the emperor, and the ministers are unavoidable." Wen Tiren said with great righteousness.
"Okay, okay," Chongzhen said three good words in a row, "If all the ministers in the court can be like Wen Qing, how can this world be like this? Why am I worried about this?" Chongzhen thought he had met a confidant, so he looked at him.
