Concubine Zheng Guifei's head was a little dizzy, and what Zhu Youzhen said was too shocking. This made her feel from time to time that the young emperor was a little expensive in his brain, but listening to Zhu Youzhen's well-organized words, she felt that everything was normal and reasonable.

Chongzhen prepared a feast for her, which made Concubine Zheng's heart flutter, but she sensitively felt that there seemed to be a great danger hidden behind this feast, preventing her from sitting down on the edge of the banquet to enjoy.

Concubine Zheng Guifei looked at Zhu Youzhen, who was still smiling gently, and finally said in a rather weak tone: "Your Majesty's heartfelt words, the old body needs to think about it carefully, can you give the old body a little time to think about it?" ”

Zhu Youzhen got up and said: "Imperial Ancestor Zheng Guifei may wish to think about it, if it is decided earlier, maybe Uncle Fu Wang will be able to catch up with Emperor Zheng Guifei to celebrate the Lantern Festival." ”

Zheng Guifei also got up to send Chongzhen away, and when Chongzhen walked to the door, Zheng Guifei suddenly asked: "If King Fu can't go to Beijing, Your Majesty is going to summon that clan elder into Beijing?" ”

Zhu Youzhen's footsteps paused slightly, and then said casually: "Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, heard that he is a very virtuous person, and he has a high rank in the clan, if Uncle Fu Wang refuses to enter Beijing, then I intend to summon the king of Shu into Beijing." ”

Concubine Zheng said hurriedly: "The King of Shu is sparse? ”

Zhu Youzhen turned around and glanced at Concubine Zheng Guifei, and said in a low voice: "After all, the King of Shu is also the bloodline of Taizu. As the saying goes: The king of Chu left the bow, and the Chu people got it. As long as the throne is still in the hands of the Zhu family after all, why not. ”

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he owed to Zheng Guifei, then turned around and lifted the cotton curtain and walked out, leaving Zheng Guifei who was in place.

After returning to the study room of the Qianqing Palace, Lu Qi sent a stack of recitals to Chongzhen to see. Wang Chengen waited until the attendants waiting in the room retreated, and then said to Chongzhen with some trepidation.

"Your Majesty, the minister heard a few words of conversation between His Majesty and Old Lady Zheng outside the house just now, and the minister has something to report to Your Majesty."

Zhu Youzhen flipped through the recitals on the table, and said with a sullen head: "Just say what you have, there is no need to make these false texts between Wang Banban and me." ”

Wang Chengen bowed down to Chongzhen fiercely, touched his head to the ground and said: "The minister risked his life to request, Your Majesty should not recall the pro-vassal to Beijing, this is the beginning of the chaos of the country."

At that time, Emperor Jingtai and his minister Yu Qian usurped the throne, and then there was Emperor Yingzong's change of seizing the door, which was all because of the fact that there were relatives who stayed in the capital, which caused trouble.

Your Majesty is working hard to reform the bad government, the inner court and the outer court are all bowing down to orders, I am now the Ming Dynasty is the trend of Vientiane renewal, why bother to provoke the pro-vassal to go to Beijing and make trouble for yourself? ”

Zhu Youzhen looked up at Wang Chengen who was kneeling on the ground, smiled and said, "You better get up, you can talk while standing, why bother."

I know the loyalty of the king's companion to you, and the trend of renewal in Vientiane, when will you learn to make this kind of sycophant? My order is also in this Qianqing Palace, and it can probably be forbidden.

Out of this palace gate, it is about a little weaker. I'm afraid there will be a seven-fold discount in the imperial city, and it is estimated that there will only be a five-fold discount left in the capital. After leaving Shuncheonfu, it was about a piece of waste paper.

The inner court and the outer court all bowed down to their orders, but they just hadn't reacted yet, and they hadn't found a trick to deal with me. ”

Wang Chengen was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly said: "Who in the palace dares to ignore the holy will, after the ministers go down, they must be rectified." ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "I don't like headaches and foot pains. You will tell Wang Dehua later, and let the governor check the treatment of the concubines in the harem. Let him reorganize a harem treatment and conduct spot checks on time in the future. Those who dare to withhold the treatment of the emperor's ancestors, imperial examinations, and imperial brothers and concubines shall be punished according to the law. ”

"I understand." Wang Chengen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he thought, "Fortunately, what the emperor said is not his own celebrant business." ”

Zhu Youzhen paused, and finally said what he thought to his closest partner. After all, in this huge court, the only person he could talk about was this great eunuch who was absolutely loyal to him.

"The outer dynasty has just not found a balance of power now, whether it is Mr. Huang or Mr. Liu, if they find that they can't eliminate each other, they will inevitably have to compromise.

Although the Donglin Party is blind and arrogant, they are not fools. If the cabinet elders really control the government, then they will definitely compromise with Mr. Huang and the cabinet elders so that they can arrange for the Donglin Party to enter the cabinet.

And Huang Shoufu, although they now have my support, they can forcibly control the government. But after all, they are only powerful families in one state and one county, and no matter how good their relatives and friends are, they cannot be compared with the Donglin Party members who include half of the great Ming scholars.

Now, for the sake of political stability, I prohibit the two factions from suspicious and attacking each other. For the sake of their children, grandchildren, relatives and friends in the future, Huang Shoufu and they will definitely accept the goodwill of the Donglin Party members to seek peace and agree to the Donglin Party members to enter the cabinet.

After Huang Shoufu and them become officials, won't this cabinet fall into the hands of the Donglin Party. If I object, it would be a violation of my promise to the Cabinet. If I don't object, after taking control of the cabinet, the Donglin Party will definitely find a way to imprison me back in this palace.

I don't want to break my promise, and I don't want to fight with the Donglin Party every day, so I naturally want to find an opponent for them.

Although I don't know what Uncle Fu thinks of these Donglin Party members, I do know very well that these Donglin Party members must not dare to support Uncle Fu Wang's accession to the throne. ”

Wang Chengen was a little stunned, and he couldn't help asking, "Why is Your Majesty so sure?" Although the Donglin Party fought with Zheng Lao Niangniang and Emperor Shenzong for the sake of the country. But the minister thought that as long as Prince Fu bowed his head to these Donglin party members, these officials might not let go. ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "What these Donglin Party members rely on is nothing more than their reputation for loyalty to the king.

The Donglin Party members used to fight for the country's roots in the name of moving the world's corporal forest, and now if they go back on their word, won't they recruit themselves to the people of the world, and the Donglin Party people are just a group of hypocrites who strive for power and profit?

Without their reputation, the Donglin Party only needs a few brocade guards to dispose of it, so why don't I give them this opportunity to prove themselves. ”

When Wang Chengen was looking down and thinking about the meaning of Chongzhen's words, he heard Zhu Youzhen, who was looking down and reading Zhou Zhang, whispering something, and he hurriedly asked.

"I mean, who is this Sun Guoyi? Just returned to Beijing to take office as cabinet secretary, Lang dared to provoke party strife? However, the "Essentials of the Three Dynasties", although it is a book that has been issued, seems to be an undecided conclusion. Is this trying to spark a debate between the DPRK and China on the three major bills? ”

Hearing Chongzhen's dissatisfied complaints, Wang Chengen suddenly racked his brains to think about Sun Guoyi's origin, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "Sun Guoyi is a disciple of Mi Wanzhong, good at writing, good at appreciation, and knows everything about tablet law books. It is said that he has written a lot of books, including astronomy, geography, music, and the art of war. ”

"Who is Mi Wanzhong?" Zhu Youzhen asked a little dazedly.

Wang Chengen immediately replied: "Mi Wanzhong is the descendant of Mi Fu, good at calligraphy and painting, and Dong Qichang is equally famous, known as 'South Dong North Mi', and he is a good stone idiot in his life..."

After listening to Wang Chengen's anecdote about Mi Wanzhong, Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "This person is interesting, because of a stone, he lost all his family property. ”

Seeing that Chongzhen seemed to be a little interested in Mi Wanzhong, Wang Chengen couldn't help but joke: "Mi Wanzhong has always been no big evil, Your Majesty might as well restore his official position and let him transport the stone back to the garden, so as to leave a good story for the world." ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said: "This person loves stones and is obsessed, how can he take care of political affairs, and let him be a magistrate may not be a good thing for the people." Well, after New Year's Day, isn't this Yanjing Library going to open? Ask him if he would like to be the curator, and give him the title of Hanlin Attendant. ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly said: "The Hanlin official is so noble, can this Mi Wanzhong refuse His Majesty's kindness?" ”

Zhu Youzhen once again focused his gaze on the piece in his hand, and his face suddenly fell. After staring at the music and thinking for a while, Zhu Youzhen made up his mind and said.

"Well, since this Sun Guoyu loves research so much, this cabinet secretary Lang should not let him be.

Let people come out of a room in the Imperial Palace, hang the sign of the "Three Dynasties Classics" verification office, and ask Sun Guoyi to check the errors and omissions of the "Three Dynasties Classics", and the treatment will be equivalent to that of the cabinet secretary Lang Hao.

In the future, if there are officials who question the "Three Dynasties Canon", they will be sent to this office and asked them to find evidence. ”

Wang Chengen suddenly felt a little chill in his back, and was sent to sit on the cold bench in the Emperor Shi Palace, this Sun Guoyi was basically difficult to be used again, he couldn't help but think, "Your Majesty is really ruthless enough to do things." ”

"What? Didn't Wang Daban hear what I said? Do you want me to say it again? Zhu Youzhen raised his voice and said.

"No, the minister has already heard it very clearly, so the minister will go and pass the order." Wang Chengen replied with a stirring spirit.

Zhu Youzhen nodded, handed him the approved piece in his hand and said, "Then you will hand this over to the cabinet and let them do it now, immediately." ”

Zhu Youzhen continued to look at it, but it was a bachelor's article by Jiang Dejing about the water conservancy investigation of Shuntianfu.

When he was carefully reading this letter word by word, Lu Qi came in to report to him that Lian Shanxiang wanted to report on the matter of compensation for the loss of the mutiny in the capital.

"Let him come in, in the future, the head of the company doesn't have to stop him, and he can see him wherever he goes." Zhu Youzhen put down the piece in his hand and said.

Lu Qi answered, and went out and took Lian Shanxiang into the study. Lian Shanxiang respectfully reported to Chongzhen that the compensation for the suffering people in the capital, a total of 213,400 taels, had been completely distributed.

“… The people of the capital all sang praises to His Majesty's benevolence, saying that His Majesty is the first saint of the ages..."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to stop Lian Shanxiang from patting his ass, and asked with concern: "Then how much silver did these people take out to compensate for my losses?" ”
