After Princess Hepu left, the Wei Dynasty flattered her and said, "Your Majesty really loves the princess so much that she can set an example for the rest of the world."

Ignoring the flattery of the Wei Dynasty, Emperor Taichang frowned and asked: "Don't talk about how you did the things I asked you to do?

Wei Chao nodded vigorously and said cautiously: "Go back to Your Majesty, it's done."

"Very good, where are those people who are leaning towards the Empress Dowager?" Emperor Tianqi stared at the Wei Dynasty closely and asked with a stern face.

"Those servants have sorted it out. Do you want your Majesty to take a look at it?" Wei Chao said, taking out a booklet and holding it up with both hands.

"No need, you are in charge of these people." Emperor Tianqi waved his hand, saying that he did not care about these matters. The only thing he cared about was Li Xuanshi. He only needed to pull out her minions. As for those who ran to the Empress Dowager

If you are planning to retire, you will naturally not interfere too much.

One day ago, Tianqi issued an order to the Wei Dynasty. In addition to strictly inspecting and cleaning the palace inside and outside, he also secretly killed the eunuchs and maids loyal to Li Xuanshi. Now that the Wei Dynasty said so, I think the task was completed.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." An old eunuch came to Emperor Tianqi and whispered to Emperor Tianqi. This eunuch is called Chen Hong, who was just selected by Dongchang to serve Emperor Tianqi, or in other words, Emperor Tianqi himself.

I ordered it. There is no special reason, because this Chen Hong is a master.

In later generations, countless novels, films and TV shows mentioned some masters, and there was even the peerless "Sunflower Collection". Two days ago, Emperor Tianqi suddenly remembered this matter and called Wang An to ask.

I didn't expect it to exist. This Chen Hong was the eunuch with the highest martial arts skills in the palace. He practiced Hard Qigong, Eagle Claw Kung Fu and Iron Sand Palm. Although I was disappointed that there was no martial arts secret book like "Sunflower Book", I could find it.

Tianqi was already very happy with such a person. He dropped him to his side, not only to protect his own safety, but also to learn a few tricks from him.

Chen Hong's family was in ruins at that time. He was only six years old and fainted on the roadside due to hunger. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he became a eunuch. Although he was furious, he had no choice but to enter the palace.

After arriving at the palace, I had a lot of time to practice the kung fu at home. Because there are many martial arts books in the palace, I practiced for forty years, and naturally I practiced kung fu to an unfathomable level.

Emperor Tianqi had seen with his own eyes that Chen Hong could punch a hole in a wall with one palm. If he hit a person, there would be only one end. Fortunately, after decades, Chen Hong's loyalty to the emperor has become different from that of the cultists.

It's almost there, otherwise Emperor Tianqi really wouldn't dare to use it.

He glanced at Chen Hong and nodded lightly. Although he didn't want to go, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, it had been three days. It was a bit embarrassing not to go to court just after he ascended the throne.

When he arrived at Qianqing Palace, all the ministers were already waiting here. Looking at the kneeling ministers below, Emperor Tianqi still felt excited in his heart.

"If you have a foundation, you will retreat from the court." With Chen Hong's shout, the morning court began, but soon Emperor Tianqi's good mood for his first morning court was gone.

Countless trivial matters and countless troubles were all directed at Emperor Tianqi, and finally his eyes fell on Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet. At this time, Emperor Tianqi had already felt that something was wrong. What was going on with these guys? These little things

It shouldn't be discussed here. It should be done by cabinet bachelors and then approved by themselves. As for going to court every day, some big things are discussed, but what is going on now?

Looking at the old god Fang Congzhe below, Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt strange in his heart. What is he going to do?

Suddenly, Emperor Tianqi remembered a piece of news from yesterday, which was from Zuo Guangdou. Only then did he understand what was going on. He had been busy organizing things in the palace these days, and he actually forgot a very important thing. That

It means rewarding based on merit. For those who helped me ascend to the position of emperor, I naturally have to reward them and let them get what they want.

"Leave these matters to the cabinet! I have just ascended the throne, and I still don't understand many things. But there is one thing I understand, and that is that those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who have done wrong will be punished. The cabinet will come up with a charter as soon as possible. This time

Matters, merits, demerits, rewards and punishments, and then be distributed as soon as possible." Seeing the ministers below obediently shut their mouths, Emperor Tianqi knew what he said and said that they had taken it to heart. He bothered himself with these trivial matters just because he wanted to go back and make trouble.

I believe that Zuo Guangdou is not the only one who has received the reward coupon, but Emperor Tianqi has not read it yet.

Time passed slowly like this. Three days later, the cabinet came up with a reward charter. It should be a reward charter. In this incident, the ministers basically all had merit. After all, there were *

The one who *.

Knocking on the table gently, he looked at the folds in front of him and pondered quietly. The rewards on the folds were only about twenty people. The number was quite appropriate, but Emperor Tianqi was a little dissatisfied with these people. He couldn't help but slowly fell into deep thought.

When it comes to the late Ming Dynasty and the Apocalypse, there is only one thing that is most famous for, and that is party struggle.

Because of Yang Lian's contribution in the palace transfer case, Emperor Tianqi began to favor the Donglin Party and revived all the Donglin Party who had been demoted in the late Wanli period. As the leader of the Donglin Party, Ye Zhigao, became the first minister of the cabinet, the Donglin Party

Basically took control of the imperial court. The Qi, Zhe and Chu Party, which originally fought against the Donglin Party, fell into a passive position as a whole due to Fang Congzhe's departure. This led to the Qi, Zhe and Chu Party defecting to Wei Zhongxian and becoming the eunuch party.

In the ensuing struggle, the Donglin Party failed to defeat the Eunuch Party. Faced with the deaths of Yang Lian and other seven gentlemen, the Donglin Party was completely defeated. However, when Chongzhen ascended the throne, the Donglin Party once again began to take power.

Lu, these Donglin Party members who spoke of benevolence, righteousness and morality made Chongzhen believe that all officials in the world read the books of sages and were good officials who were not corrupt.

But when the Manchus entered the country, what were these ministers doing? They surrendered, collaborated with the enemy, and betrayed the country.

In the late Ming Dynasty, party disputes almost became the main thing in the court. It is more appropriate to say that it is a dispute over governing opinions, but actually it is a dispute over local interests.

The Donglin Party represents the interests of the big landowners and businessmen in the southeast. Most of these people are local powerful people. They annex land, smuggle, and conduct maritime trade. It can be said that every family is extremely rich, but they always

Thinking of not paying taxes, the Donglin Party preached every day to emphasize agriculture and suppress business, so as to hide wealth among the people.

In fact, the emperors of this era had a wrong understanding of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce. Emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce does not mean levying more agricultural taxes and less or no commercial taxes. These Donglin people have tampered with this theory. According to their
