Text Volume 1 Dismal Management_Chapter 188 Bi Ziyan

Yuan Chonghuan thought that he had a plan that was nine out of ten, but he did not get a satisfactory result at the court meeting. And Chongzhen then took advantage of the proposal of Wu Chunfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to transfer the sergeants to serve in the work, and directly led the court meeting to the rectification of the Beijing camp.

Under the pressure of the emperor, the British retreated as advance, and simply relinquished the management power of the Beijing camp under the pretext of their old illness. For both the Donglin Party and the non-Donglin Party, although they want their own people to sit in this position, the most important thing is to prevent the other party from obtaining this position, so as to prevent the other party from playing tricks other than political struggle.

However, the first condition set by Chongzhen stopped the nobles and generals in the capital. And the second condition he put forward made the civil officials themselves back down first.

Among these civil officials in the court, those who are qualified to serve as assistant ministers also have the hope of serving as six ministers and even entering the cabinet.

For the sake of ending his career as an assistant minister, most civil officials are unwilling.

In Han Yi's opinion, this position is undoubtedly the most suitable for Yuan Chonghuan, although he was already the right attendant of the Ministry of War before he was dismissed, but after the recovery, he was just the head of the Ministry of War.

Now being able to serve as an assistant rong zheng can be regarded as a high promotion. And in some ways, Han Yi is also faintly afraid of this bold student, if he can use this position to tie this student, it will not be a good thing for him.

After Han Yi was forced to retire from the position of first assistant, he also thought carefully about why the Donglin Party couldn't fight the eunuch party in his hometown.

In the end, he came to a conclusion, first, the Donglin Party members are not united internally, and second, there are many people in the Donglin Party who talk loudly, but there are too few people who are willing to do something practical.

Although Yuan Chonghuan often speaks wildly, he is still a person who is willing to do something practical in the Donglin Party.

Moreover, Yuan Chonghuan not only has a good relationship with Liaoxi Jiangmen, but also has a lot of wealth, and the gift money given to him as a teacher is also a thousand gold, so Han Yi still values this student very much.

However, Yuan Chonghuan's boldness and recklessness often made Han Yi a little frightened. Sometimes he often wonders if he will be implicated by this student in the future.

However, today's conditions for Chongzhen to serve as an assistant rong zheng made Han Yi feel that this was not just set for him as a student? As long as he can restrain this student's ambition, then he can use Yuan Chonghuan's talent without any scruples, and he doesn't have to worry about any sequelae in the future.

However, Yuan Chonghuan was obviously unwilling to sacrifice his career and help the Donglin Party in exchange for a chance to control the military power of the Beijing camp.

Seeing Yuan Chonghuan dodging his eyes, Han Yi also knew that he couldn't force this student to take the initiative to ask to be the assistant manager.

Seeing that the court suddenly fell silent, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but continue: "I came up with these two items, do you have anything else to add?" ”

The two conditions mentioned by Chongzhen have turned this position into the end of an official's career, which makes most of the civil officials who feel that they still have room for advancement suddenly lose interest.

The officials in the court also saw that the only people who are suitable to sit in this position now are the noble and military ministers. The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty may have dealings with the noble military generals in private, but in public, no civil official would show a close relationship with the noble military generals, because this would arouse the suspicion of the emperor and his colleagues.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the courtiers below and shook his head and said that he had no conditions to increase, but after no longer continuing to recommend candidates, he opened his mouth and said: "Since Zhuqing has no conditions to add, and there are no recommended candidates, then I will mention one first."

I went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies yesterday to inspect it, and I happened to see the Fujian General Soldiers going to the capital to perform their duties, and I felt that the Fujian General Soldiers had nothing to do with the Beijing Battalion soldiers. As soon as I gave the order, he rushed to the capital day and night, and he could be described as loyal. I nominated Yu Zhigao, the commander-in-chief of Fujian, to serve as the governor of Jingying Rongzheng and be responsible for the affairs of the restructuring of Beijing, what do you think? ”

Wu Chunfu, who was originally just watching the play, heard Chongzhen's proposal, and his heart suddenly moved, and under his hint, several officials immediately stood up and supported the candidate appointed by the emperor.

Yu Zhigao, the general soldier of Fujian, has nothing to do with the eunuch party and the Donglin party in the DPRK, and his in-law relationship with the Ministry of Industry Shangshu has always been rarely known, so he is an acceptable candidate for the ministers of the DPRK and the central government.

Subsequently, Li Kuilong, the imperial envoy of the left deputy capital, also came out to support Chongzhen's proposal, so Yu Zhigao's new appointment was passed without much hindrance.

Zhu Youzhen took advantage of the situation to take back the power of the Beijing camp, and his mood was finally cheerful. For Wu Chunfu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, his tone finally relaxed.

"Wu Shangshu, the temperature has dropped sharply in recent days, and the people in the capital are heating with charcoal and coal in winter. Although the left side of the capital is mountainous, it has also been cut down, and the price of charcoal is getting higher and higher, and ordinary people may not be able to afford it.

However, this coal is easy to use and the value is relatively cheap, so it is the best choice for the people in Beijing to heat in winter.

Has the Ministry of Industry calculated the amount of coal used to ensure the heating of the people in the capital throughout the winter? And where does the coal come from in Beijing, and can it be supplied on time and in sufficient quantities? ”

Chongzhen's question made Wu Chunfu suddenly at a loss, although it is a good thing that His Majesty cares about the people's livelihood, but he cares so carefully, it is not a good thing for them to be ministers.

In the past, whether it was Wanli, Tianqi and other emperors, when they encountered a particularly cold winter, at most, they ordered Shuntianfu to give some rice grain and firewood to the poor households in Beijing, and not to freeze to death in the capital.

Now Chongzhen did not talk about distributing rice, grain and firewood, but asked the people in the capital how much coal to use in winter, which made Wu Chunfu a little nerve-wracking.

Wu Chunfu thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "The old minister is afraid, the amount of charcoal transported into the capital every day has always been in the hands of the Shuntian Mansion, and the Ministry of Industry has never been involved in these affairs in the past, and now the Shuntian Mansion Yin is vacant, and the old minister is difficult to count." ”

Zhu Youzhen thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Regarding Shuntian Mansion Yin, does Mr. Xu have any recommendations?" ”

Xu Guangqi thought for a while and said: "The minister recommended the king of Shanyin Siren, and when he knew Qingpu, he was very popular with the people, and he also heard about it in the countryside. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, and was about to make a decision. Wen Zhenmeng suddenly came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers think it is impossible, and the court officials have their own laws. This Wang Siren was just a magistrate when he abandoned his official position and returned home, and now he has no merit, how can he suddenly be promoted to the Shuntian Mansion Yin of the third grade? ”

Zhu Youzhen immediately swallowed the words he wanted to say, and asked a little angrily: "So Wen Taichang is there anyone he wants to recommend?" ”

Wen Zhen Meng Shi Ran got up and said: "There is no candidate in the minister's heart, the minister just thinks that the person recommended by Xu Shangshu is not in line with the national system." ”

After Wen Zhenmeng finished speaking confidently, he retreated to the court. When Chongzhen proposed the candidate for the Shuntian Mansion Yin just now, because there was no warning, most of the courtiers did not react, and could only watch Xu Guangqi recommend.

But after Wen Zhenmeng's interruption, the courtiers suddenly had a buffer time to think about the recommended candidates.

Yushi Yang Weiyuan was the first to react, he immediately remembered his friend who was recuperating in his hometown, so he played: "The minister recommended Taichang Shaoqing Ruan Dacheng, who returned to his hometown to recuperate, is shrewd and capable, and he also has enough qualifications to serve as the governor of Shuntian Mansion..."

Yang Weiyuan's words immediately aroused the anger of some Donglin party members, this Ruan Dacheng was once listed in Donglin and was a disciple of Gao Panlong. Fellow countryman Zuo Quang Dung is Dong Lin's leader in the Constitutional Division, and he is also a friend of Nguyen Dacheng's self-respect.

But just because a member of the department was given a position in the matter, this friend betrayed Donglin and threw himself into Wei Zhongxian's disciples, and was a traitor hated by many Donglin party members.

Lu Chengyuan immediately stepped forward to refute, saying that Ruan Dacheng had a poor character, and as a student, he betrayed his teacher Gao Panlong; was born as a friend, but turned his back on his friend Zuo Guangdou. Such a person cannot become the governor of Suncheon.

After Lu Chengyuan, the household members Wailang Wang Shoulu, Hanlin Huang Daozhou and Ni Yuanlu all thought it was impossible.

After seeing that the court was about to go into chaos in the mutual attack again, Zhu Youzhen cleared his throat and said: "Today, I will only talk about the selection of the Shuntian Mansion Yin, if there is any candidate for the Qingqing, I can put it forward. However, if he did not mention the candidate and insisted on making personal attacks on others, the Han general directly expelled this person from the noon gate. ”

Zhu Youzhen's voice was tepid, but the courtiers who were originally aggressive suddenly calmed down.

After fighting with this Chongzhen Emperor several times, the results were all disgraced Donglin Party members, and finally recognized one thing, this new emperor is not one of those emperors who can be easily fooled by civilian officials.

If Chongzhen argued with them about Ruan Dacheng's character, these Donglin party members had evidence to prove it. But Chongzhen didn't play with them at all about moral standards, and only talked about the discipline of the court, which was tantamount to making the Donglin Party's stomach full of benevolent and moral articles, which became useless.

Huang Daozhou and Ni Yuanlu glanced at each other, and finally suppressed their resentment and retreated.

Han Yi had just been troubled by the quarrel of these officials, and now that the court meeting began to quiet down, his mind suddenly cleared up, and he quickly stepped forward to recommend to Chongzhen that Bi Ziyan, the head of the Nanjing household department who had returned to his hometown due to illness, should serve as the governor of Shuntian Mansion.

With Bi Ziyan's rank as the governor of Shuntian Mansion, it is obviously a low allocation. However, Han Yi believes that Shuntianfu, as the first capital in the world at the foot of the Son of Heaven, controls the lives of the people and the families of the soldiers in the capital, and this position is too important.

Originally, under his operation, this position should have been Liu Zongzhou's. However, Chongzhen directly promoted Liu Zongzhou, so that the Donglin party did not achieve their wishes.

When Chongzhen proposed a vacancy in the Shuntian Mansion, in order to ensure that this position could fall into the hands of the Donglin Party, Han Yi simply introduced Bi Ziyan, whose qualifications and character made people speechless.
