Chapter 940: Whoever Cares
Looking at the Donglin Party members, and hundreds of scholars are kneeling outside the palace gate to petition, and the people are also supporting public opinion, this time, Emperor Chongzhen in the imperial study can't sit still!
Soon it was evening, and the sky was slowly darkening.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen beside him: "Companion, haven't they left yet?" ”
"Back to the emperor, they are still kneeling there, and many ordinary people are also sympathetic to them, and they have also joined the ranks of kneeling to petition, and now, I am afraid that the number of people is no less than a thousand!"
When Emperor Chongzhen heard Wang Chengen say this, he couldn't help but stand up, with a worried look on his face, just walking back and forth in the imperial study.
Emperor Chongzhen said in his heart: The petition team has reached as many as 1,000 people, and this petition, it is still led by Donglin Party members with identity and status, such a scene since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but it is rare!
If you let them kneel and leave it alone, I am afraid that everyone in the world will scold me for being a faint king in the future!
Especially those Donglin Party people, they are models of scholars in the world, once they ignore their voices, then in the hearts of scholars in the world, I am really no different from the king of the world!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen still felt that he should go out to express his attitude, so as not to be misunderstood by the world!
"Swing!"
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen gave an order, he went to the palace gate.
"The emperor has arrived!"
A loud voice sounded outside the palace gate, those kneeling on the ground were depressed, wilting a few, this shout, immediately made their spirits shocked, the body is burst out of infinite energy, all of them are excited, all looking at the Chongzhen Emperor who is slowly walking towards him!
"Your Majesty, Zhou Yanru's party is the same as the other, and under the will of the emperor, it is really a villain and a traitor, and I ask the emperor to take back his fate, don't be deceived by Zhou Yanru, a villain!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Zhou Yanru has a villainous face, and he has been persecuting my Donglin Party, and as the head of the cabinet, he is ignoring the people of my Ming Dynasty, I have been in the Ming Dynasty for three hundred years, and the good foundation is about to be destroyed in his hands!" ,,,
As soon as Emperor Chongzhen came out, everyone shouted loudly, complaining that Zhou Yanru was not coming, and for a while, outside the palace gate was like a vegetable market, chattering, unorthodox!
At this time, Qian Qianyi is also a hundred times more energetic, what about the emperor, as soon as my Donglin Party comes out, you don't want to come out obediently!
Seeing that the crowd was talking non-stop, Qian Qianyi hurriedly pressed them,
"All quiet, all quiet!"
Everyone quieted down, and then Qian Qianyi bowed respectfully to Emperor Chongzhen, and everyone also knelt down one after another.
After Emperor Chongzhen signaled peace, Qian Qianyi said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou was ordered to investigate the inaction of officials and slander a group of officials, and I Donglin Party members have already had several officials investigated by him!"
Lord Zhou's move was obviously to do an errand by order, but in fact, it was to protect the officials involved in the case of Yu Hengqing Officials of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry, and asked the emperor not to be deceived by him, and to quickly withdraw the order given to him! ”
"Yes, yes, he is taking the opportunity to take revenge, and please ask the emperor to investigate!" ,,,
Then Qian Qianyi said: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhou said that he was ordered by the emperor to rectify the rule of officials, but none of our courtiers knew about it.
Your Majesty, since ancient times, the rectification of the rule of officials has been the most important event of a dynasty, an important matter, and it is related to the rise and fall of the country! Such a big event, how can it be treated so easily, please think twice! ”
After speaking, Qian Qianyi knelt down to Emperor Chongzhen again, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, at this time, I am suffering from internal and external troubles, it is an eventful time, where can he toss like this, Your Majesty!" ”
Qian Qianyi is like this, all the Donglin Party officials, as well as those who read, they are also doing the same, they all bow down to Emperor Chongzhen,
"Please think twice!"
Wuyang Wuyang, a group of people knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and shouted to Chongzhen Emperor Mountain.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard what they said, he couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart, now that he thinks about it, his appointment to Zhou Yanru is indeed a bit too hasty!
As Qian Qianyi said, since ancient times, all the rectification of the rule of officials is a major event, which king is not thinking about it, and in the end there is really no way, this is to put it into practice!
But today, when I listened to Zhou Yanru's call, my blood was surging for a while, and I agreed to his proposal to rectify the rule of officials in a daze.
is so sloppy, I can't find the forefront in this history book!
But what can I do now, this holy decree has already been issued, is it not enough time for this day, and I am going to withdraw my mandate to Zhou Yanru?
Isn't this a real change of day?
No, absolutely not, if so, wouldn't I become the laughing stock of the world, and where will my majesty be in the future!
But Qian Qianyi's words are not unreasonable, now is an eventful season, the matter of conquest and suppression of bandits is still being discussed, if it is because of the rectification of the rule of officials to make the court officials panic, this matter of suppressing bandits is not to escape from stillbirth!
After a period of hesitation, Emperor Chongzhen had no choice but to say to Qian Qianyi and them: "This time, Zhou Aiqing rectified the rule of officials according to my will, and what he did was only those officials who were superficial and did not act on political affairs.
You are all the pillars of the court, and I also know it, and it has nothing to do with you, you can do everything with peace of mind! ”
As soon as these words came out, Qian Qianyi and the officials were overjoyed, just now Emperor Chongzhen's words, that is, they were given a talisman.
If Zhou Yanru came to the door, they could take Emperor Chongzhen's words and say it, did you hear it, the emperor said that it was someone else, and it had nothing to do with me, if you dare to do me, that is, you don't take the emperor in your eyes, you are so bold!
When a group of people are so sheltered, there is naturally no need to make trouble, as long as Zhou Yanru can't find his own people, he doesn't care who he does!
The more people he does, the more people he offends, and I can't wait to see you dogs eat dogs!
So Qian Qianyi was the first to say loudly to Emperor Chongzhen: "The emperor is wise, and the ministers are born to meet the holy monarch, which is really an honor for the ministers, and the ministers will definitely do their best for the emperor in the future, and they will die!" ”
"The emperor is wise, and the ministers are very lucky!"
Hulala, Qian Qianyi and they knelt together again.
"Excuse me, you Aiqing should be flat!"
Seeing that these people were settled, Emperor Chongzhen's mood was much better for a while, and then he encouraged them a few words, and then he went back to the palace.
