Wang Siming looked at the ceiling of the palace with stunned eyes. He had traveled through time! And he was very unlucky to travel to the end of the Ming Dynasty. The most terrible thing was June of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. What was even more terrible than this was that he actually passed through his soul to Emperor Chongzhen Zhu
By the examiner.
Encountering such a fatal trio, Wang Siming just wanted to go back to death and ask his father, why did he give himself such a pitiful name in the first place? How could he have traveled through time and become this ghost if he hadn't had such a good name?
Look!
"Your Majesty, Zhou Shoufu and Chen Cifu have received a note, asking whether your condition has improved and whether the candidates for the cabinet will be confirmed through court recommendation today?" The person who said this was Wang Chengen, one of the legendary eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty who was the most loyal.
"My dear companion, I am still a little hesitant about my health, so I won't go to the main hall to manage politics! Let's have the two assistants come to the palace with the names recommended by the ministers, and I will take a look at the candidates."
At this time, Wang Siming didn't want to meet anyone at all. After all, he had just traveled through time for a few days and was not proficient in many businesses. It would be easy to show off when meeting strangers, but things wait for no one. You have to meet the people you should meet!
Not long ago, the army of the Ming Dynasty was defeated again, and many important ministers and generals died. It was after this news reached the capital that Zhu Youjian argued with the ministers for several days and fainted from anger. When he woke up, his body changed its owner.
.This defeat was the famous defeat of Zhuxian Town in later generations. However, Wang Siming’s historical knowledge was very shallow and he did not know much about the details of this defeat.
The battle on the front line was defeated, and there was a political storm in the court. Many people in the cabinet were implicated and dismissed from their posts. And the cabinet ministers who were supposed to be replaced did not come in time because the emperor was so angry that the current Ming Cabinet was basically in a state of disarray.
Shutdown state. Therefore, it cannot be delayed any longer. If it is delayed any longer, Ming Dynasty may die faster.
After waiting for a long time, Wang Chengen brought the two remaining pillars of the cabinet to Zhu Youjian's palace. After the two entered the door and saluted, the young eunuch consciously brought a small chair for them to sit on.
The emperor's bedside head.
After sizing up these two pillars with his eyes, the fake Zhu Youjian felt a burst of despair! The former owner of his body was really a trap! The current Ming Dynasty has been cheated to the point where no one can use it. Look at the current center
Who are the people left in the cabinet? Zhou Yanru and Chen Yan, do they have the strength to serve as cabinet ministers? They don’t have the strength! But besides these two guys, who else can be found in the entire Ming Dynasty to join the cabinet? No!
The whole generation of elites in the Ming Dynasty were all tricked by the former owner of their own bodies. The ones who were tricked are called clean, not to mention great talents like Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou. At this time, even if there is only Wen Tiren, Yang Sichang will do it!
As a result, no one was retained, and the current successor Wang Siming could only use people like Zhou Yanru as pillars.
"My emperor's dragon body is safe and sound! The incompetence of my ministers has caused the national crisis and disturbed your majesty. I am waiting for death!" After Zhou Yanru sat down, he started to talk nonsense. This man can't do anything, but he has a good mouth! These
Although he may not mean what he said, it still sounds like it, and at least it doesn't make people angry.
Everyone was so polite, and the fake Zhu Youjian, who was sitting on the dragon's roof, had no choice but to reply more politely. "Young master, don't blame yourself. The corruption of the country is not your fault! Forget it, let's not talk about these ruinous things.
.Tell me about the candidates you recommend to be added to the cabinet, and show me the list."
After Zhou Yanru heard this, he immediately took out the list he had prepared long ago from his sleeve, and then handed it to the young eunuch next to him, asking him to forward it to the emperor on Longtan.
He took the list and looked through it carefully. The fake Zhu Youjian did not find a celebrity who would be impressive in later generations. There are three people on the list, namely Wu Di, Jiang Dejing, and Huang Jingfang. What are the levels of these three people? At this time, the new
Emperor Chongzhen naturally didn't know anything about it. But one thing is certain, these three guys are probably similar to the two pillars in front of him, and they are probably all weaklings who are worthless and worthless.
In fact, people who are not worthy can be seen clearly by looking at their resumes. The resumes of these three people were roughly written down on the note handed over by Zhou Yanru. Jiang Dejing and Huang Jingfang were both in Zhan Shifu, and the Hanlin Academy would only do this.
People who come from official departments. Unless they are geniuses who only come across in decades, there is really no hope that they can do anything serious! Only Wu Zong seems to be okay.
Because his resume says that he has served as governor of Shanxi. Whether his quality is good or bad is another matter. At least he has been a serious leader and a serious person who has held power in senior leadership positions. Unlike the other two, who are not even county magistrates.
I have never been, but I want to be one of the leaders at the highest decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty. The system of the Ming Dynasty is quite strange.
"Young Master, there is nothing wrong with the list you and Chen Cifu drew up. Just go with it! When you get back, draw up a formal imperial edict, and I will ask the Supervisor of Ceremonies to use the seal! Daban, when you are done, give the king's seal to inform him, Zhu Pi
After he comes here, ask him to use his seal immediately without delay! Now that the cabinet in the DPRK and Central Government is empty and state affairs are so corrupt, we must tighten our grip."
"Your Majesty, please save me. I'll tell Eunuch Wang soon." Not all eunuchs can be called eunuchs. There are not many people who can be called eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty Palace. At this time, Wang Dehua, the official's palm seal,
He is a serious eunuch.
"Grand Master, Second Assistant, now that the business has been settled, please invite these two back! There are probably still a lot of things waiting for you to deal with at the cabinet. The country is in danger, so it's better to hurry up."
After saying this, without waiting for a response from the two of them, he waved to the eunuch next to him to see off his guests.
After walking out of the emperor's palace, Zhou Yanru and Chen Yan looked at each other with a very surprised look in their eyes. Why is this man so weird today? Although there is nothing wrong with what he said.
But this is not his style! He is impatient, talkative, easily agitated, likes to intervene and intervene in everything, and loves to give random orders. This is the emperor they are familiar with. Why did the emperor they met today suddenly change his temper?
He didn't ask urgently about the current situation in the DPRK, nor did he make any comments about the cabinet list.
Zhou Yanru and Chen Yan are not without merit. At least they are top experts in dealing with the emperor. If they are not experts, they will not stand out in the hands of this strange emperor, Emperor Chongzhen! But today's situation makes them
It’s really a pity that I didn’t have a chance to show off my talents. All the lies I prepared in my mind before the interview were in vain!
Faced with the emperor's abnormal behavior, the two of them tacitly agreed not to talk further, but hurried back to the cabinet to deal with the most important matters at hand first. However, they both had an idea in mind and waited until work was over.
Finally, you should quickly find an acquaintance of the internal officials to inquire. See what the emperor is thinking. It is not a good thing for the ministers to be confused about the situation!
Zhou and Chen both got their positions by bribing internal officials to get inside information. This is the situation they are most unaccustomed to! They have no idea what the emperor is thinking. They don’t even know where to start when making up lies.
