Chapter 1497: Descending the Donkey Down the Slope
readx(); When the emperor said such a thing, the weight was quite heavy, which was equivalent to saying: Do you want to set up a void?
In the past half a month, Zhu Youzhen has moved to Changchun Garden, and has not been in the court, giving the courtiers, especially the Donglin party, sufficient space for their activities. Please search (product # book...... Net)! The Donglin Party, which was the fastest update, naturally did not miss this great opportunity, and took advantage of the opportunity of Cheng Jiming to control the officials and carried out a large number of official transfers, of course, the vast majority of them were in favor of the Donglin Party.
And Zhou Yanru led the troops outside, Wen Tiren lost the emperor's biggest backer, and he couldn't confront the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party people were overjoyed and celebrated, and even hoped in their hearts that the emperor would stay in Changchun Garden forever and not come back, just like Jiajing Wanli.
But today, Zhu Youzhen finally poured cold water on the Donglin Party with his actions. First arranged this "pro-planting ceremony", tossed all the ministers firmly, and then said these words casually. Qian Longxi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and after a little thought, he figured out that the Donglin Party had the upper hand in the struggle against the emperor, but in fact it was just an illusion.
Taking the appointment of this official as an example, although Zhu Youzhen intends to approve the appointment and dismissal of local officials below the fourth rank, he is still very cautious when it comes to the rank of senior officials above the third rank, that is, the governor and governor. For example, Wang Zaijin, Sun Chuanting, Fan Jingwen and others that the Donglin Party really wanted to take, Zhu Youzhen had already issued a clear edict, and none of them could be moved.
As for the most important military power, not only did it not fall under the control of the Donglin Party, but it cheapened Zhou Yanru. Although Zhou Yanru has lost the city and land one after another since he supervised the army, and there was a big scandal such as the killing of good people and the meritorious service of the officials and soldiers, the emperor was unmoved and still gave Zhou Yanru full trust. This is not so much to support Zhou Yanru, but rather to be a silent confrontation against the Donglin Party!
Moreover, the Donglin Party has always wanted to overthrow Lu Xiangsheng, and there have been countless impeachment speeches in the past few days. The cabinet controlled by the Donglin Party, despite the opposition of Wen Tiren and other cabinet ministers and Huang Zongxi and other Chinese scholars, forcibly put forward a vote to change Lu Xiangsheng from the title of secretary of the military department to the doctor of Zishan.
The secretary of the military department and the doctor of Zishan are both second-grade civil officials, which seems to be flat, but in fact they are very different. The military department is a "ministry officer", even if it is just a title, it is to improve the rank of the official and have enough power in the office. And Dr. Zishan is Wenxun, who belongs to the "loose official", only a second-grade grade, without any position and power, and even has no qualifications to go to the court. If Lu Xiangsheng really becomes a "good doctor", then his political life will be completely ruined.
But after the ticket was intended to be handed to Changchun Garden, there was no news for several days. In other words, it was "left behind". This was a very rare practice after Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, in fact, it expressed the emperor's opposition to this matter, but it was not directly dismissed, which was regarded as saving some face for the cabinet.
Qian Longxi believes that keeping Lu Xiangsheng is the emperor's bottom line, and it must not be touched again. But the other Donglin party members thought that Lu Xiangsheng had to be brought down, and now the emperor was hesitating, as long as he tried harder to impeach, the emperor would give in. Although Qian Longxi is one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, there are also many mountains in the Donglin Party, and no one is convinced of anyone, and dozens of pieces of impeachment of Lu Xiangsheng have been issued in the past few days. Qian Longxi felt that something was going to happen, and the emperor was afraid that he couldn't bear it anymore. Sure enough, today the emperor used the pro-plant ceremony to "corporal punishment" of the ministers, and broke the intention of the Donglin Party to seize power!
"Minister Wen Tiren, I respectfully ask Your Majesty to return to the palace to manage the government"!
Wen Tiren, who was no less intelligent than Qian Longxi, immediately jumped out and made a generous statement, ostensibly advising Zhu Youzhen not to indulge in the mountains and rivers, and to focus on the people of the society, but in fact he wanted the emperor to regain power and combat the arrogance of the Donglin Party.
"The minister and the king should be seconded by Xiong!"
"Minister Qian Xiangkun seconded the proposal!"
"Minister Zhang Fengyi seconded!"
…
As soon as Wen Tiren took the lead, all his henchmen understood it, and they all "advised" Zhu Youzhen to drive back to the palace, and they all looked righteous and awe-inspiring. It simply made the noses of the Donglin Party people crooked, thinking to myself, don't you guys just want to drag the emperor back and support yourself? But there is no way to refute it, people ask the emperor to go to the court to govern the government, who dares to say that it is not right?
The knot is not a strange place to inspect the cold moon
At the same time, the people who were planting trees around them also fell to their knees and shouted, "Long live the palace!" "But they are not the same as Wen Tiren, they really feel sorry for the young emperor. It's hard to catch up with such a long-lived lord who loves the people like a son and is jealous and hateful, but don't be tired!
After Li Biao, Qian Long, Xicheng Jiming and other Donglin bigwigs exchanged glances, they also understood that today was "the general trend has gone", and they could not prevent the emperor from returning to the palace. Even if they didn't care about Wen Tiren, the officers and soldiers guarding along the way were all under the control of the emperor; Even if they don't even care about the official army, there are thousands of ordinary people! In fact, they also know very well that with Zhu Youzhen's character, how can they let the power easily fall away, and this period of time is already very face-saving for the minister. Now the emperor needs a step, and the Donglin Party must not know each other, otherwise the fruitful results just achieved may also come to naught.
So a few people had to kneel down and play: "The ministers seconded the proposal, respectfully ask Your Majesty to return to the palace to manage the government!" ”
Some of the other ministers understood, some didn't, but they were all so tired that they were about to fall apart, and they quickly knelt down to "second", thinking that if the emperor didn't leave, we would have to throw our old bones here.
Zhu Youzhen also got off the donkey down the slope and said loudly: "Actually, the work has not been done yet, but the ministers and the people have asked for this, so I have to go back to the palace first." However, I still want to say a few words to the people: I just sent a sacrificial message to Lord Shangshuwen of the Ministry of Rites, maybe you didn't understand it too much, so I will briefly tell you about it. I won't say much about the usefulness of trees, everyone knows it. But we can't just use trees and not plant trees, won't there be fewer and fewer trees, so that future generations will have no trees to use?
"Not to mention, Emperor Taizu has a clear edict to let the people of the world grow many trees. All landed farmers must plant 200 mulberry, hemp and chestnut dates. But no one persevered, did they? This is an oversight of the imperial court. Today, I would like to announce one thing through the pro-planting ceremony, and I will set tree planting as a basic national policy of my Ming Dynasty! Everyone, I will finish planting these willow ears for me and Zhongqing, and I will come back next year to see a thriving willow forest! ”
"Long live my emperor, long live!"
With the cheers of the people, Zhu Youzhen finally got on the Luan car and slowly marched towards Beijing. The ministers followed behind with a disgraced face, thinking that this living treasure had had enough.
But how do they know how many big things Zhu Youzhen has done in the past half a month!
