Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 586 Party Struggle (1)

It was another sunny day, without the influence of the emergency war, which made the capital peaceful. Although there are many undercurrents hidden under this peace, it cannot affect the stability of the general situation.

"Mr. Ge, affected by the abolition of the craftsman's status recently, there have been some opposition and doubts in the court. What do you think about this?" Min Hongxue held a teacup in his hand and looked at Wen Tiren, who was busy at his desk, with a serious expression.

"Your Majesty heard some bad words, people like Han Yu and Shi Kefa seem to be very resistant to His Majesty's decision.

He even felt that the abolition of the craftsman's registration was a move that violated the ancestral system and shaken the foundation of the country, but there didn't seem to be any changes in the Qianqing Palace. "

"What's in your Majesty's heart, is it something we can figure out thoroughly?"

Wen Tiren put down the memorial, looked up at Min Hongxue, and said with a half-smile: "Han Yu, Shi Kefa and the others, so what if they show resistance?

Do you think that this is the beginning of His Majesty's imperial power?

Do you think that with that set of rhetoric, His Majesty can rely on them?

Since the rectification of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and the arrest of the new rules for the administration of officials by Zhou Yanru, is there still a small number of Donglin Party who have been impeached successively? "

Those who understand civil servants must be civil servants.

The group of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty has never been monolithic, and its internal structure is very complicated. For example, this faction and that faction of the Chongzhen Dynasty are all stinky problems handed down from the Wanli Dynasty.

From the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Qi Chuzhe Party, to the strength of the Donglin Party, to the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party, and then to the dominance of the Eunuch Party, in just over ten years, the Ming Dynasty was defeated by one faction. , As a result, how many things missed the opportunity, and then a very passive situation appeared.

"There are also many who have been dismissed from office."

Min Hongxue said with a smile: "Since Wang Yongguang became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it has become more and more difficult to get promoted in the court through making connections and talking about favors.

Since the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and the new regulations on official governance have gradually been tightened by the government, more and more people have been involved.

Especially after Mr. Zhou Ge was promoted to the cabinet, the subordinate officials found out that the old man had done a lot of things behind his back by taking advantage of the fact that he was taking charge of the new regulations. "

Wen Tiren narrowed his eyes slightly.

Wen Tiren could still hear the words in Min Hongxue's words, otherwise, he would have sat for so long as the second assistant in the cabinet.

At this stage above the court, the so-called Donglin Party is no longer as powerful as before, but other factions are gradually increasing.

For example, the remnants of the eunuchs in the Donglin Party’s mouth, served under Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and others, and another example is Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru’s new and simple officials...

The court of the Ming Dynasty and the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty have experienced the Wanli Dynasty and the Tianqi Dynasty successively, and they have become less clean.

There are many people who make empty talk and harm the country.

There are a lot of rhetoric.

Retreats do not do a lot.

There are many schemers...

Faced with such a situation, Emperor Chongzhen was not interested in getting involved too much. Instead of wasting time with these people, it would be better to gradually change the situation through a relatively stable situation to gradually force the Ming Dynasty to change layer by layer.

"Ge Lao, don't you want to go one step further?"

Seeing that Wen Tiren remained silent, Min Hongxue leaned forward and said with a frown: "Now Zhou Yanru is in charge of investigating the fire consumption, and Xu Guangqi is in charge of investigating and providing disaster relief. This has been impeached everywhere and many officials have been dismissed.

Your Majesty is not the same as before.

He began to take advantage of the contradictions in the court to rectify some of the bad governance of the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Chengzong, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, Liu Hongxun, Yuan Keli and others who His Majesty relied on were also very eye-catching in various places.

It is to contain the rebellion of Jianlu, to suppress the rebellion of thieves, to gather disaster victims from all over the place, to rectify the administration of officials, to straighten the roads, and to repair water conservancy...

Haven't you noticed all these things?Compared with the second year of Chongzhen, the silver stored in Guochao has become much more abundant now. "

How could it not be discovered.

Wen Tiren was deeply moved, unknowingly, since the Jianlu Eight Banners invaded Gyeonggi, the financial crisis of Ming Dynasty has changed little by little.

In the past, even when the imperial court spent 10,000+ taels of silver, it had to be considered repeatedly, discussed repeatedly, and even had a big fight before finally deciding whether to take it or not.

For this reason, the apportioned money such as Liao's salary and suppressed salary was often apportioned to Daming.

But the current financial system of Ming Dynasty, although there are still many deficiencies, but the income and expenditure can be balanced, and even the Liao's payment and the suppression's payment have not been apportioned.

"It's easy to say if you want to go further, but it's so difficult to do."

Wen Tiren restrained his mind, and said with emotion: "Your Majesty is very clear about the situation in the court, Han Yu, although at some point, he sang against His Majesty.

But it is precisely the current Donglin Party that has been defeated a lot in the past. It is not easy to completely eliminate them and bring down Han Yu.

You are not in the cabinet, so you don't know the authority of the chief minister of the cabinet.

Our Majesty, the emperor's mind has become more sophisticated, the power of the cabinet has increased, and the corresponding responsibilities and accountability have also been strengthened. "

"Mr. Ge, you should read this impeachment memorial first, and then decide whether you want to overthrow Han Yu." Seeing Wen Tiren like this, Min Hongxue took out a memorial, stood up, and handed it to Wen Tiren: "As long as you want to overthrow, Then there is nothing that cannot be done, not to mention that Han Yu is not a good cabinet minister."

Ok?
Seeing Min Hongxue like this, Wen Tiren narrowed his eyes slightly, took the impeachment memorabilia in front of him, and looked through it, the more he looked, the richer the expression on his face.

This Han Yu is really good enough.

They opposed all kinds of changes with their mouths, but they secretly did so many things with those guys to take advantage of the changes in Beizhili and other places.

"Interesting, really funny."

Wen Tiren said with a smile on his face: "If I remember correctly, some officials and censors in the court were secretly instructed by Han Yu, so they often impeached Lu Xiangsheng, right?

If what you wrote is true, then the crime of deceiving the emperor will not escape.

It's quite sanctimonious, I didn't expect so many people from the Jiangnan provinces to come here, it seems that everyone wants to take the opportunity to make money. "

"It's not just sanctimonious, it's shameless."

Min Hongxue stepped forward and said: "At the beginning, Han Yu and other members of the Donglin Party opposed Tianjin Kaihai one by one, and the subordinate officials thought it was very strange.

What shakes Kunimoto.

What violates the ancestral system.

Those are all their rhetoric. In fact, under the rule of the Jiangnan provinces, there are many people engaged in sea trade in private. Now Tianjin has the support of His Majesty to carry out the opening of the sea to the end. This also makes the Jiangnan provinces , has been greatly impacted and affected. "
