"Scholar, can you still teach Hongu to read in the future?"

When Li Hongyu was dissatisfied with Wang An in his heart, Zhu Huiyuan, who was pulling the food into her mouth, suddenly remembered something, and after swallowing the food in her mouth, she looked up at Li Hongyu with expectation, she naturally wanted to let Li Hongyu, who was funny and knowledgeable, become her teacher.

"Back to the princess, Xia Guan will go to Jiangnan next year to take care of the Customs Department, and I can't teach the princess." Li Hongyu came back to his senses when he heard this, bowed to Zhu Huiyuan and replied in a deep voice, "In the future, Master Zhao will teach the princess." ”

"You're leaving the capital?" Zhu Huiyuan's cheeks suddenly showed a look of surprise, she didn't know that Li Hongyu was going to take charge of the Customs Department, and thought that an important minister like Li Hongyu would stay in the capital to assist the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

"The errand of the lower official was set by Emperor Shenzong, and the lower official naturally has to be done well." Li Hongyu bowed again and replied quietly, the Customs Department is his future and hope, although the capital is good, it is a pity that the Ming Dynasty is dying and is not a place to stay.

"Wouldn't I be able to see you then!" Zhu Huiyuan's eyes suddenly showed a gloomy look, and she said with disappointment, although Zhao Xin is also a teacher she likes, it is obvious that Li Hongyu is more attractive.

"The lower officials will enter Beijing to pay their duties to the emperor, and they will definitely go to see the princess at that time."

Li Hongyu saw Zhu Huiyuan's reluctant look, smiled slightly and said, he also likes this smart and clever little princess, but he can't stay in the capital and waste time in the complicated party struggle.

"That's what you said, you must come to see this palace when the time comes!" Zhu Huiyuan's eyes lit up when she heard this, then she put down the chopsticks in her hand, and solemnly stretched out her right little thumb to Li Hongyu, "Let's pull the hook, you are not allowed to regret it!" ”

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase."

Li Hongyu couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement when he saw this, his dignified scholar Zuo Chunfang actually wanted to pull his finger with a little girl, but since this little girl was a princess, he could only obey orders, so he couldn't help but smile and pulled his little finger with Zhu Huiyuan with a serious expression, and made this agreement.

Zhu Huiyuan's mood has only improved, and she is full of joy to eat there, which can make a princess hungry like this, which shows the embarrassment of Empress Dowager Li's situation.

After Zhu Huiyuan had a full meal, Li Hongyu let her enter the Qianqing Gate in a group of small chamberlains, until he witnessed Zhu Huiyuan successfully pass through the Qianqing Gate, he breathed a sigh of relief, and hurried to Qingning Palace to wait for the order.

After the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne, the first thing he did was naturally to grant amnesty to the world and reduce taxes, so that the people of the world could feel the benevolence of the Son of Heaven.

Secondly, the so-called once the son of heaven and one courtier, the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally has to carry out some personnel appointments and dismissals, involving important positions in the imperial court, which can be regarded as the grace of the new emperor to those courtiers.

Among all the ministers who were promoted, the most promoted were naturally the vassals of the East Palace, who were close ministers of the new emperor, so they were reused by the new emperor.

Because Emperor Taichang only sat on the throne for a month and died, there were no officials in the East Palace around Emperor Tianqi, and the officials who could be promoted were mainly the ministers of the East Palace when Emperor Taichang was the prince, and the most eye-catching was the promotion of Zhu Guozuo, who was idle at home.

Zhu Guozuo is a native of Jiaxing, Zhejiang, the champion of the palace examination in the eleventh year of Wanli, and the cabinet assistant from the same department, first awarded Hanlin to revise, and later became the Zhan Shifu Economic Bureau to wash horses, for the emperor's eldest son's attendant, and later into the German official.

In the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, Zhu Guozuo was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and soon acted as Shangshu, and made dozens of contributions to Emperor Taichang as the crown prince to Emperor Wanli, and made a number of contributions to Emperor Taichang sitting on the throne of the prince.

At the time of internal and external troubles in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Guozuo put forward political propositions such as "reassuring people's hearts, receiving people's hope, understanding the situation, and clearing prisons". Soon he was transferred to the left squire and changed to the Ministry of Officials.

In the thirtieth year of Wanli, Tang Zhaojing, the imperial historian, impeached Zhu Guozuo for "over-drinking", so Zhu Guozuo returned to his hometown due to illness and stayed for 18 years.

After Emperor Taichang succeeded to the throne, he naturally did not forget Zhu Guozuo, who supported him as the crown prince back then, so he intended to promote him to be a scholar of Dongge University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites.

It's a pity that Emperor Taichang's holy decree died because of the Red Pill case before it was issued, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not forget this minister of the humerus that he had never seen but was often mentioned by Emperor Taichang.

Therefore, the Emperor of the Apocalypse decreed that Zhu Guozuo would be a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and he would enter the crown prince Taibao and become a high-ranking official from the first grade.

It is worth mentioning that as an official from Zhejiang, Zhu Guozuo had very close contacts with Ye Xianggao and Fang Congzhe, after all, when Zhu Guozuo stepped into the official career, there was no dispute between the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party, but a battle between southern officials and northern officials, known as the dispute between the north and the south.

Although Zhu Guozuo's political views are similar to those of the Donglin Party, he is not the Donglin Party nor the Zhejiang Party, and his political views are similar to those of Zhou Jiamo.

Because of Zhu Guozuo's deep qualifications and his old relationship with the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party, his appointment was not criticized by the courtiers.

Relatively speaking, the appointment of another cabinet member by the Emperor of the Apocalypse made the Donglin Party complain a lot, and this person was Sun Ruyou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Sun Ruyou is a veteran of the Zhejiang Party, a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse entered the cabinet as a scholar of Dongge University and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites.

In order to appease the Donglin Party, Emperor Tianqi recalled Sun Shenxing, a member of the Donglin Party, back to the capital from other places and appointed him to replace Sun Ruyou as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, thus calming the resentment of the Donglin Party.

On the surface, the appointment and dismissal of officials by the Emperor of the Apocalypse was his holy will, but in fact it was the result of the fierce struggle between the various factions in the capital, and a product of the mutual compromise between the various factions.

As a young son of heaven, don't look at the emperor of the apocalypse as the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, in many important positions can not be arbitrarily appointed and dismissed in personnel, must listen to the opinions of important ministers in the court, who makes the current power of the minister strong and the monarch weak, which is the same as the big shop bullying customers and the big customers pressing the store.

However, Li Hongyu still saw a hint from the personnel appointment and dismissal of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, in this personnel change in the imperial court, the cabinet had the greatest impact, and two non-Donglin party cabinet members were transferred one after another, so that Fang Congzhe would not fight alone.

As the teacher of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Li Hongyu's official position was naturally promoted, although his official position did not change, but he was awarded the title of the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

This means that Li Hongyu has become a member of the imperial court, as an auxiliary minister appointed by Emperor Wanli and Emperor Taichang, his official rank is indeed low and cannot be compared with other auxiliary ministers, and the lowest official ranks of the rest of the auxiliary ministers are the second rank.

Therefore, Li Hongyu's promotion to the rank of the third rank this time is well deserved, and it is beyond reproach.

In addition, the Emperor of the Apocalypse also gave Li Hongyu a power, that is, as a scholar of Zuo Chunfang, he was a temporary position and had no actual position.

The so-called "power cabinet affairs" means that Li Hongyu, as a scholar of Zuo Chunfang University, assists the scholars of the cabinet in handling cabinet affairs, and although he is not a cabinet member, he has the power of a cabinet member.

Emperor Tianqi's move was obviously also to balance the forces within the cabinet, secretly limiting the power of the Donglin Party ** Cabinet, and also showing the importance he attached to cabinet affairs.

Li Hongyu's entry into the cabinet as a scholar of Zuo Chunfang University this time did not arouse the dissatisfaction of the Donglin Party, after all, Li Hongyu was not a cabinet member, but just a temporary official sent by the Emperor of the Apocalypse to the cabinet to assist the cabinet members.

In this way, it also avoided Li Hongyu's violation of the custom that cabinet members are not allowed to hold substantive positions in ministries, anyway, the cabinet was set up by the emperor, and it is understandable to add some new rules.

What is particularly important is that Zuo Chunfang University Fellows have always been regarded as Cabinet Fellows, so it is not inappropriate for Li Hongyu to participate in Cabinet affairs as Zuo Chunfang University Fellows.

In fact, Li Hongyu had no time to perform the duties of "power cabinet affairs" because he was away all the year round, so when he left the capital and went to Jiangnan, Zhao Xin participated in cabinet affairs on his behalf as a scholar of Youchunfang University, which can be said to be a close confidant of the Emperor of the Apocalypse in the cabinet.

Not only Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin and Sun Chengzong were all able to be promoted, among which Zhao Xin's official position did not change, but with the addition of the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the official rank was promoted to the fourth grade.

Sun Chengzong promoted his official position and rank at the same time, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse promoted him to the chief official of the Zhan Mansion "Zhan Shiguan", and at the same time, with the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, the official rank was the second grade, and he was able to compete with other auxiliary ministers.

With a series of personnel appointments and dismissals after the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne, the power of the Donglin Party, which supported the meritorious Emperor of the Apocalypse, was strengthened, not only having an absolute numerical advantage in the cabinet, but also having a stronger voice in the major ministries.

Although the forces of the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang have been damaged, these losses are completely within the range they can bear, and they are not to the point of breaking their muscles and bones.

In the final analysis, whether it is the Donglin Party or the Qichu and Zhejiang parties, because the two sides have a strong foundation, neither can eat the other party in one go, and the struggle between the two sides is destined to be a protracted war.

For the young Emperor of the Apocalypse, there was nothing more painful than dealing with the daily recitals of his courtiers.

Although the eunuchs of the celebrant have already dealt with most of the recitals, there are still many recitals that need to be decided by the Emperor of the Apocalypse, which is really not easy for a sixteen-year-old son of heaven, who needs to follow the advice of the auxiliary ministers and decide how to deal with those national affairs.

In this way, the thoughts of the Emperor of the Apocalypse were easily influenced by the auxiliary ministers, and according to the custom, Empress Li should help the Emperor of the Apocalypse make choices about the opinions of the courtiers, so as to maintain the majesty of the imperial power.

Among all the auxiliary ministers, the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally believed in Li Hongyu the most, followed by Sun Chengzong, these two were his teachers, and the relationship was naturally closer than that of other auxiliary ministers.

Since the Emperor of the Apocalypse ascended the throne, Li Hongyu basically lived in the imperial city to facilitate the assistance of the Emperor of the Apocalypse in handling the affairs at hand.

The so-called difficult beginning, the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly became the highest decision-maker of the Ming Empire from a grandson and crown prince under the care, and it was naturally difficult for him to adapt to his new identity for a while, and he had to shoulder the responsibilities that should not have been borne at his age.

Obviously, no matter how smart Zhu Youxiao is and how well educated he is, how much can a sixteen-year-old boy know about the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty? How much can we know about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty and the operation of each yamen?

Therefore, the Emperor of the Apocalypse naturally relied heavily on the auxiliary ministers, and many things were also the meaning of the auxiliary ministers, and there was no way to make his own judgment on the suggestions of the auxiliary ministers, which was why the emperor was "listening to the government" by the queen mother when he was young in ancient times, so as to prevent the monarchy from taking the opportunity to be eroded by the ministers.
