can't help but feel that Cao Jian just hates the Donglin Party, if Qian Qianyi is in front of him now, it is estimated that Cao Jian will go up and fight with him!

"My lord, what shall we do now? And how do we respond? ”

Zhou Yanru pondered for a while, and then replied: "Since the Donglin Party wants to find trouble, then the official can only accompany him to the end!" If Sun Chengzong was here, the official wouldn't dare to accept it, but now, hehehe,,,"

Zhou Yanru sneered, and a cold light flashed in his eyes!

Then, Zhou Yanru asked Cao Juan: "Is Zhao Bingsong credible among Yu Hengqing's officials?" ”

"This person is the brother-in-law of the lower official, and he is both prosperous and lossy, and he is absolutely trustworthy!"

"Very good, after you go back, sort out all the accounts and the like, and all those in the know will be properly disposed of, and you can't leave the beginning and the end! The three divisions inquire, you only need to prevaricate perfunctory, and the rest of the things will be taken care of by the official! ”

"Yes, my lord, then I will leave this matter to my lord!"

With Zhou Yanru's words, Cao Juan's heart suddenly became much more down-to-earth, and there was no need to say much about Zhou Yanru's gratitude.

Zhou Yanru smiled slightly, and urged: "Okay, the matter is not small, you hurry back and deal with it, I should also go and ask to see the emperor!" ”

Cao Jian solemnly bowed to Zhou Yanru to show his gratitude, and then left in a hurry.

After Cao Jian left, Zhou Yanru went non-stop to ask to see the emperor.

Soon, Emperor Chongzhen summoned him in the imperial study of the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, this time Yu Hengqing officials minted money, the minister thought that the impact was extremely vicious, if it is not thoroughly investigated, there will be chaos in the future!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhou Yanru's words, he thought it was true, and said: "Yes, making money is related to the well-being of all the people in the world, and it is an important weapon of the country.

This time, I have appointed the three divisions to conduct a thorough investigation, and I will definitely ambush and punish those who violate the law and discipline, so as to rectify the dynasty! ”

"The emperor is wise, I am very lucky!"

Zhou Yanru's instinct was to slap the past with a sycophant, and then arched the fire and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this case of minting money is not only the responsibility of Yu Hengqing's officials, but also those who are vegetarian in the corpse position, and they should also be held accountable and investigated as one!" ”

"Oh!"

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhou Yanru's words, he couldn't help but let out an "oh", and then asked, "What does Aiqing mean by this?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it has not been a day or two since the Yu Hengqing officials minted money, and the money minted flowed into the people through the imperial court, why didn't anyone stand up and talk about it before!

The minister thought that it was not that they didn't know, but that they had the mentality of getting by and felt that it had nothing to do with them, so they pretended to be blind and didn't see it!

How can such an act be worthy of living in the temple! How to listen to the emperor's wise teachings!

The minister thought that he should take advantage of this case to carry out a major rectification of officialdom, and drive out those who have done nothing and just want to eat and wait for death from the court, and the court will be clean!

In this way, on the one hand, it can set an example for all the people in the world, and on the other hand, it can take this opportunity to promote a group of young talents, especially those newly promoted talents after the emperor ascended the throne.

Because they are not qualified enough, they can only do dispensable errands in various departments and offices, and when the time comes, the emperor can promote and appoint them in a big way, and they can collect their hearts and let them bathe in the emperor's grace!

Second, it can bring a new atmosphere to the court, provide a favorable guarantee for the emperor to govern the world, and provide a favorable guarantee for the upward and downward effects! ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was very excited, and he couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth in the imperial study!

I have to say that Zhou Yanru's words are too good, especially the last sentence, which is even more in the heart of Emperor Chongzhen!

Of the current officials in the court, nine out of ten were raised in the Wanli period, and the remaining one was also in the Apocalypse, and there was no one in the Zhongju officials in the Chongzhen period.

Why not, no qualifications!

Officialdom, that's the same as the gangs in the rivers and lakes, it's also about seniority, don't care what your ability is, as long as you're old enough, then you're a big guy!

If you start mixing with the court when Emperor Wanli first ascended the throne, even if you were sweeping the floor in various departments at that time, and sweeping to the present, you are also a national treasure.

If you don't have enough qualifications, and you haven't encountered any groundbreaking opportunities, then you have the ability to go to the sky, then you have to give me an honest lie there to boil and get your qualifications!

It is precisely because the Jinshi during the Chongzhen period could not occupy the court that the governance of Emperor Chongzhen also brought a lot of obstacles.

You must know that the ancients talked about the Gangchang etiquette, what is the protégé of the Son of Heaven, as long as you are in the Jinshi, then the emperor is your teacher, this feeling is different, and the things that the teacher has explained, it is naturally extra hard to do!

But the situation faced by Emperor Chongzhen is more embarrassing, they are all people left by Emperor Wanli, and he has no one of his own.

But these people get by one by one, they don't have to do things, if these people are all their own selected Jinshi, will they still be so perfunctory?

Emperor Chongzhen thought, that is, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he became, anyway, now these people are also disobedient, and there is no charter for doing things, it is better to take this opportunity to change them as Zhou Yanru said,

Anyway, the situation is bad enough now, even if it is changed, no matter how bad it is, how bad can it be, it is better to give it a try!

"Aiqing's words are reasonable, many officials in the court are idle people, and now I am worried about internal and external troubles, which is the act of employing people, if you can clean up the twilight of the court in one fell swoop, it will also be a good medicine!"

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was set, Zhou Yanru hurriedly made an excited look, knelt on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "The emperor is wise, my Daming is in such a situation now, it is the opportunity to follow the example of the sages and implement rectification and reform. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhou Yanru's appearance of serving the country and the people, he was very emotional, this person is really a rare loyal minister and righteous man in my Ming Dynasty!

Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood, happily helped Zhou Yanru up, and said: "Aiqing's words today, I have benefited a lot, if it weren't for Aiqing, I'm afraid I will miss this God-given opportunity!" ”

"The emperor is wise and powerful, that is, the minister does not speak, the emperor will also think of it, and he will do it, the minister just said the things that the emperor is about to think of, one or two hours in advance, the minister will not dare to take credit!"
