Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Zhang Jiayu was a Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen, and was later awarded the Shujishi of the Imperial Academy. He is 30 years old this year.

He was originally one of the many officials in the capital who chose Shishun after Li Zicheng entered Beijing, but he was not appointed by the pseudo-shun, and Li Zicheng was driven away by the Qing army.

Zhang Jiayu then turned around and came to Nanjing, hoping to join the Hongguang court again.

However, he was arrested and imprisoned for surrendering to hypocrisy. One of the major political disputes in the Hongguang Dynasty was how to deal with officials who had surrendered to hypocrisy, because there were too many people like Zhang Jiayu, and many of them could not be convicted for a while. , and was locked in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The reason why Xie Xuelong offended Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue and resigned was because he disagreed with Ma Shiying on how to deal with these people.

Aimee Zhu didn't hate those people who switched to Li Zicheng after the city of Beijing was broken, at least they were better than those who opened the gates of the city to welcome King Chuang before the city was broken.

Therefore, after learning about Zhang Jiayu's anti-Qing deeds in the history of later generations, Zhu Yu specially issued a decree to pardon him, and called him again as a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and was temporarily responsible for drafting the imperial edict.

After Zhang Jiayu was released from prison, she was so grateful to Aimee Zhu that she swore allegiance on the spot.

He is not only talented in writing, but also has experience in drafting imperial edicts for Chongzhen.

After receiving the list of cabinet ministers copied by Aimee Zhu from Linglong, she quickly drafted an imperial edict.

Linglong brought the imperial decree over, Zhu Yu looked at it, and then stamped it - although she was not enthroned at this time, the date of her enthronement had already been set, and besides, Jian Guo was supposed to perform the power of the emperor on behalf of the emperor, so she also used the 24th imperial seal of the Ming Dynasty. related seals.

After using the seal, Auntie Zhu saw that many ministers had looked over, so she said to Han Zanzhou, "Let's announce the decree."

Han Zanzhou bowed and nodded, took the imperial decree from Linglong and read it out in court.

The ministers were a little surprised after hearing this, because Auntie Zhu appointed seven cabinet ministers this time, which happened to be seven ministers.

Among them, Yuan Jixian served as the first assistant, and he was a bachelor of Zhongji Hall (Huagai Hall).

Ma Shiying served as the second assistant, and he was a bachelor of Jianji Hall (Jin Shen Hall).

Xie Xuelong and Lu Zhenfei are bachelors of the Hall of Martial Arts.

Huang Daozhou is a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Zhang Youyu and He Yingrui are bachelors of Dongge University.

After Jiang Yueguang listened, he carefully considered the political status of the seven cabinet ministers, and suddenly felt that the Donglin Party in this cabinet might not be able to influence them.

Among them, only Zodiac Zhou is the real Donglin Party, but he is an outlier in the Donglin Party. It is impossible for the mainstream of the Donglin Party to interfere with the government through him, but it may arouse Huang Daozhou's disgust.

As for Yuan Jixian, Xie Xuelong, Lu Zhenfei, etc., they can only be regarded as members of the Donglin Party, not the real Donglin Party.

It can be seen that when the Donglin Party was expelled from the court by Ma Shiying and Ruan Dayue before, Xie Xuelong was able to stay in the Ministry of Punishment, and Yuan Jixian was also in front of the Governor of Jiangxi.

As for Zhang Youyu and He Yingrui, they were neutral ministers, and they were also not members of the Donglin Party.

After sorting out these things, Jiang Riguang couldn't help sighing in his heart, and simply gave up the idea of ​​making "all the people right and prosperous".

After Han Zanzhou finished reading the imperial decree, Aunt Zhu said, "Today's court meeting will be held here, and tomorrow morning we will continue to sort out the functions of the various ministries of the imperial court. Let's end the meeting."

At the side Han Zanzhou subconsciously wanted to shout "Back to court", but seeing that Zhu Yu had already got up and walked towards the back hall, he realized that this was not a court meeting.

However, all the ministers still got up, bowed together, and said loudly: "Respectfully send Jian Guo!"

···
in the afternoon.

It is still the Hall of Martial Arts.

But at this time, there were no ministers in the hall, only Linglong accompanied by a few court ladies, and more than [-] soldiers from the Huben camp stood at the corner of the hall.

However, at the porch leading to the apse from the main hall of the Wuying Hall, there are still a hundred female soldiers from the Suzaku Battalion. Around the Wuying Hall, there are soldiers from the Huben Battalion and the Shenji Battalion.

The apse of the Hall of Martial Arts is where the secretariat is located.

But for the time being, there are only Liu Shuying, Wei Yao, and the remaining four maids from the original Shu palace who are in charge of sending and receiving telegrams in the secretariat.Of course, these maids of honor are now in the status of female officials.

Liu Zhu and Linglong took turns managing the chores in the palace, or accompanying Aimi Zhu.

Today it was her turn to manage the palace affairs.

As for Zhang Jiayu and several other members of the Hanlin Academy, they are in the right side hall of the Wuying Hall, and they can be summoned at any time.

Because the various institutions of the imperial court are not yet sound, even if the manpower is in place, the affairs that can be shared temporarily are limited, so Auntie Zhu is very busy every day, dealing with various memorials and documents.

Han Zanzhou came in and said, "Report to the Supervisor, Zheng Hongkui and Zheng Sen have already left the hall."

Auntie Zhu raised her head, twisted her neck slightly, and said, "Bring them to the main hall."

"Yes."

After a while, the two were brought in by Han Zanzhou.

"The last general (supervisor) Zheng Hongkui/Zheng Sen sees the supervisor's thousand years old!"

"Flat body."

"Thank you Jianguo!"

After the two stood up, Auntie Zhu began to look at them.

Unlike most southerners who are relatively short at this time, both of them are quite tall, not inferior to most northerners.

Zheng Hongkui was in his thirties, with a dark complexion, a burly figure, and a short beard. At first glance, he was not much different from an ordinary general.

Zheng Sen next to him was wearing a popular Confucian shirt, and looked at Aimee Zhu quite boldly. Seeing Aimee Zhu looking at him, he immediately lowered his head.

Auntie Zhu smiled and said, "Zong Bing Zheng, please tell me, why do you want to see me?"

It turned out that this time it was Zheng Hongkui who came to Nanjing to ask to see Aimee Zhu.

After Aimee Zhu learned of this, she sent someone to invite Zheng Sen, who was studying at the Nanjing Imperial College, over.

To be precise, they were invited from Qian Qianyi's home.Because Zheng Sen is not only a student of Nanjing Guozijian, but also worshiped Qian Qianyi as his teacher before.

Zheng Hongkui clasped his fists and said: "My brother was terrified when he learned that the late emperor ordered him to supervise the state and act as an agent for the state, because he had been ennobled by a false emperor.

It is only because of illness that it is inconvenient to travel far, so please come to Nanjing to plead guilty on your behalf, and please go to the puppet emperor to confer the title of 'Nan'an Bo'.

The last general also invited the title of "General Zhenhai" awarded by the puppet emperor, and asked Jian Guo to send people to reorganize the navy under the last general's command. "

After Aimee Zhu listened, her red phoenix eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

Hao Guangming on the other side directly analyzed: "The Zheng family is here to express their position and make a deal - please go to the rank and general to show that they will not stand with Zhu Yousong, but support you.

As for Zheng Hongkui's navy, it is a substantive expression.

This navy originally belonged to the Zheng family. If you accept your reorganization, it will not only become the imperial court at once, but the imperial court's control over the navy will also be greatly increased. "

Aimee Zhu also judged like this in her heart, and she became more determined after hearing Hao Guangming's analysis.

She smiled and said: "Zheng Zhilong defended the borders of Fujian and the South China Sea for our Ming Dynasty, and he has already contributed to the country. Even if this palace succeeds to the throne, he will also be granted the title of Nan'anbo.

As for Zheng Zongbing's request to go to the General and reorganize his navy, yes, it happens that Huang Fei's navy also needs to be reorganized, so let's go together. "
