Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 60

The sun was shining brightly in the capital, and the entire Forbidden City was bathed in golden sunshine.

"Matsushita asked Tong Sheng, and said that the master went to collect medicine. Only in this mountain, the clouds are deep! This is the case in this court, and the same is true in the inner court. What they are fighting for is nothing more than fame and fortune. They can't be so indifferent like miscellaneous families. Fame!"

Wynn, who was wearing an imperial boa robe, was lying on a bamboo chair in the courtyard basking in the sun. After a few days of torment by the wind and cold, he had a new understanding of life, and he was expressing emotion in a polite manner.

It's just that at this time he is in the hands of the chief inspector of ceremonies, and there must be eighty if not a hundred disciples and grandchildren in the inner court, and now there are even eunuchs and maids serving him.

"Ancestor, these are the oranges that were just brought from Huainan. You have to taste them! Everyone says that you are smarter than Kong Ming and more virtuous than Xie An. If you are young, you will be the number one scholar in the imperial examination!" Wei Bin peeled The oranges were sent to Wynn's mouth, and then he slickly flattered him.

Wynn opened his mouth slightly, then tasted a piece of sweet orange and said: "The number one scholar is uncertain, but if a miscellaneous family enters the court, they will definitely become a generation of virtuous ministers! But it's not too bad now. Since ancient times, eunuchs have been The government and the public regard it as a cancer, but now that the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty mention the Zajia, who does not know that the Zajia is a person who can distinguish right from wrong, and can be the number one supervisor since the Ming Dynasty!"

"The old ancestor's reputation resounds throughout the government and the public. It can be said that he is the number one in the dynasty, and he is a model for our generation!" Wei Bin continued to peel the oranges and continued respectfully.

Wynn spit out the orange core in his mouth onto the plate held by the maid next to him, and said in a lively manner: "Take this orange as an example, why do the oranges in the south turn into trifoliate oranges in the north? Red, those who are close to ink are black'. Your younger generation should stay away from Liang Fang, Guo Yong and others. They don't study much, so they only know how to please His Majesty. It's just that our inner court has to learn from the outer court. Good medicine, Your Majesty is not going to advise us, we have to rely on Qingliu civil officials who are familiar with the sages' books for governance!"

"Old ancestor, shouldn't His Majesty be in charge of governing the world?" Wei Bin couldn't help but asked cautiously.

The young man who was indecisive and indecisive appeared in Wynn's mind. The corner of his mouth slightly raised and he said: "Your Majesty, you can rule with your bow! This world should be governed by virtuous ministers, and Wan'an and his ilk should be eliminated!"

"Old ancestor, I heard that His Majesty does not agree to increase the number of cabinet ministers. I am afraid that Wan'an will still be the chief assistant!" Wei Bin said solemnly as he delivered an orange to Wynn's mouth.

When Wynn ate this piece of sour orange, his whole face contorted immediately, and he even vomited it all out.It's just that the maid just lost her mind, and the sour orange fell to the ground.

"Eunuch, please forgive me!" The maid knew that Huai En was a vicious person, so she hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

The two eunuchs behind them glanced at Wynn who was expressionless, but they knew that Wynn wanted to punish the maid who had made a mistake, so they stepped forward and dragged the maid away.

Wei Bin has stayed in Huai'en for some time, but he knows that this scholar who never leaves his mouth for sage books is really friendly to the civil servants holding the history pens, but he is cruel to the maids and eunuchs under his opponents.

Wynn asked another maid to come over to wait on him, and immediately said with confidence: "You can only see what's on the stage forever, but you people will never know what happened off the stage! Wei Bin, wait Just wait and see, this court will soon change!"

At this moment, a group of dark clouds appeared in the eastern sky, which seemed to be imprinting Wynn's words.

A little eunuch just came in from the outside and summoned Wynn to go to the Qianqing Palace to face the saint immediately.

"Wei Bin, hurry up, help the miscellaneous family to go to Qianqing Palace!" Wynn knew that his layout had been successful, so Dang even stretched out a hand excitedly.

Wei Bin put down the orange and hurried forward to help him. Seeing that His Majesty summoned Wynn for the first time, he faintly realized that there was indeed a lot to be said about this matter.

In the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, sandalwood incense curls up.

Zhu Youtang, who was wearing plain clothes, was dealing with government affairs. He only saw the reply letter from the Sixth Ministry and the memorials of some officials in the capital.

Similar to newlyweds, there is also a honeymoon period between the monarch and his ministers.

It's easy to wake up from a good dream, and now that I'm about to ascend the throne, the faults of both sides are slowly revealed.

Because he did not get rid of the party headed by Wan'an as Qingliu imagined, and he insisted on reusing Du Ming, Minister of the Ministry of punishment, and Li Yu, minister of the Ministry of officials, and he has not resumed the Japanese lecture and the feast of the scriptures so far. Relationships tend to break down.

Guo Yong proposed drafting to fill the harem. As a result, this proposal was immediately opposed by officials headed by the Minister of Rites Zhou Mohong, who mainly stopped the matter on the grounds that the late emperor was not buried.

Zhu Youtang offered to open Enke, which was also opposed by officials headed by Xu Pu. This time, the reasons were that "the Ming Dynasty has been redundant for a long time, so it is not appropriate to set up Enke", "three years is the best, and three hundred will be used to make up for it". ", "The teachings of the Great Zu Enke are still in front of us, and the Enkodo incident is not conducive to the DPRK", etc., all went to the public to block this proposal.

Zhu Youtang has never been a fool, but now that the views of these officials are gradually converging, he knows that these officials have begun to form a group to deal with the imperial power.

Although the imperial power is to override everything, the official power of the past dynasties should not be underestimated. Otherwise, there would not be so many cases of reform failures from ancient times to the present, and there are not even good examples of real reform successes.

"Your Majesty, this is the memorial just sent up from Huguang!" Guo Yong led two young eunuchs over, and put a stack of memorials on the desk respectfully.

Zhu Youtang looked at another thick stack of memorials, and couldn't help but secretly sighed.

Everyone in the world envies the emperor, but only when you really sit in this position, you will know that the emperor's work is really endless.

"Your Majesty, I don't know why you summoned the old slave?" Wynn walked in from the outside, and his small eyes were secretly spying on Zhu Youtang's tunnel.

Zhu Youtang looked at this old eunuch with a treacherous face complicatedly in his eyes, and he was really the same as those civil servants, so he picked up a book next to him and said: "I found in the study that old Wange dedicated it to the late emperor. A small basket, do you know about this? Do you ever remember what was in it?"

"I have been away from the first emperor for several years, and I don't know about Wan'an's gift of the small basket, but Wan'an does have the habit of presenting books to the late emperor. Did this book come from a small basket?" Huai En felt secretly happy, but it was a disguise I don't know.

Zhu Youtang looked at the cover of the book and read the title, looking very contemptuously: "Secrets of the capital! I can't bear to mention such an unsightly thing, I don't want to read more, I don't want Wan An to be a gentleman!".

Wynn was about to ask whether it was a trick in the house, but Zhu Youtang took the lead and said: "Wynn, the courtiers are going to impeach Mr. Wange. You know the situation in the court, but you don't know what to do with Wange." What does the old man think of it?"

"Wange is old enough to be favored by the late emperor, so he can be reused! It's just that his talent is not as good as Liu Ji, and his virtuous name is not as good as Xu Pu's eleventh, so the slaves think that Wange is honest and not a good man!" Wynn was suddenly asked, and immediately said himself point of view.

In fact, there is no need for him to add oil and vinegar now. After all, this new monarch has accepted Confucianism since childhood, and he is also a person who admires the style of a gentleman.Now that Wan'an was so framed by himself, Wan'an was destined to be kicked out of court by the new king.

Zhu Youtang nodded lightly, as if making a difficult decision: "I am not a king who can speak good words, but the book Wan An dedicated to the late emperor was not done by a gentleman! You send these memorials to impeach Mr. Wange Read it to him in the past, and at the same time tell him that I know about the book offering to the late emperor, and ask him if he dares to stay in the court once this matter is made public?"

"Slave obeys the order!" Wynn saw that the matter was completely under his control, so he secretly bowed his hands and accepted the order secretly.

Looking at the back of Wynn leaving in a hurry, Zhu Youtang couldn't help but feel a strong uneasiness in his heart when he thought of the small basket that suddenly appeared.

The sky was still clear just now, but as a group of dark clouds floated from the east, this group of dark clouds seemed to have poured a basin of water on the magnificent Forbidden City, and lost some color in an instant.

Wenyuan Pavilion, the only building with black glazed tiles in the entire Forbidden City, its original function as a book collection loft has been weakened, but now it has resolutely become the central institution of the Ming Dynasty.

An old man in a python robe was leaning over the desk, his face was covered with age spots, his snow-white eyebrows were long, and his eyes had become cloudy.

Whether you are the supreme minister of the empire, or a poor peasant working in the fields, the years have been destroying everyone fairly, and no one has been forgotten.

Facing the memorials from the two capitals and the thirteen provinces, Wan An wrote down his opinions on a piece of paper seriously, and then stuck the paper on the memorial. This was the drafting work of the cabinet.

"Master, would you like to take a rest first?" A servant brought tea and reminded cautiously.

"It's not easy to be fooled by the Holy Majesty today, if you want to rest, you have to wait until the next office and then go home to rest!" Wan An didn't even raise his head, and continued to write a memorial.

Although he has been jokingly called the idiot old man by the world, this is just a way for his political opponents to attack him.

These people don't even think about it, but they are out-and-out Ci ministers. They have been in contact with court affairs since Chenghua five years ago, and they have been the chief assistant for ten years.

I may not be a good player in political struggle, but when it comes to handling the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty, no one in the Manchu court can surpass me.

In fact, he knew that the reason why His Majesty did not remove him was because he needed to be in balance with other forces in the court, and it was because of his experience and ability to handle local government affairs.

The servant was about to leave, but when he saw Wynn coming in, he greeted him warmly and said, "Eunuch Huai, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty's word of mouth!" Wynn said arrogantly, not looking at Wan'an's servant at all.

Wan'an suddenly became excited, stood up tremblingly, and hurriedly saluted Wynn: "Respectfully, Holy Ann!"

"Saint Boon! Your Majesty knows that you have dedicated your book to the late emperor. If this matter is made public, would you dare to stay in the court?" Huai En's mouth slightly raised, and he directly conveyed his will.

Wan An frowned involuntarily, thinking: Why not dare, at the same time slowly nodded and said: "I have presented books to the late emperor a few times, but which time do you mean?"

"Mr. Wange, of course it was the most unbearable time. Are you really going to make a breakthrough?" Wynn knew that this charming minister had a lot of dark history, so he asked with a smile on his face.

Wan An couldn't help but feel guilty for a while. After all, the contents of some books are really not suitable to be made public. Dang even took the initiative to admit his mistake and said: "I know I'm wrong, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Wynn couldn't help frowning slightly, and found that the old guy's face was thicker than the city wall, but fortunately things were already confused.

Wei Bin came over with Huai En, and immediately took out an impeachment memorial and read it comprehensibly: "All the officials and subjects gave the memorandum to Song Cong: In order to thank God, I beg for the Holy Judgment to punish the treacherous, ingenious, and authoritarian thieves as soon as possible. , to redeem the troubles with absolute greed..."

"I know I'm wrong, please forgive me!" Wan An didn't expect Xu Pu's people to stab himself with a knife, so he said sincerely and terrified.

Wynn found that this man was not planning to resign and leave, so he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Read again!"

Wei Bin took out another memorial, and then read it: "All ministers and soldiers are responsible for the matter. Zhang Shanji would like to play: Chen Guan University scholar Wan An steals power and disrupts government, harms the country and harms the people, and is the number one disaster of the new dynasty... ..."

"I know I'm wrong, please forgive me!" Wan An didn't expect that Liu Ji's people would stab him, so he gritted his teeth secretly.

The sky outside is getting darker and darker, and it seems that it will rain at any time.

In the first auxiliary value room of Wenyuan Pavilion, the sound of reciting melodies has been continuously heard.

The second assistant, Liu Ji, also stayed in his valet room to handle the billing work, but he heard that the next door had no results, and finally couldn't help but walked out of his valet room and squatted in the corner of the next door.

If it goes as planned, today will be the day when Wan An leaves the imperial court, and the throne of chief assistant who he has been waiting for for ten years will be in front of him.

But, is it really what you want?

"I know I'm wrong, please forgive me!" Wan An found that the impeachment of these people was becoming less and less innovative, so he still chose to admit his mistake.

Seeing things gradually slipping out of his control, Wynn never expected that these scholars who read sage books are so thick-skinned, and squeezed out two words from between their teeth: "Read again".

"It's gone!" Wei Bin spread his hands, his voice hoarse and authentic.

Huai En knew that no amount of impeachment memorials would be of any use, so he stepped forward and asked, "What did this minister do for you to present the book of techniques in the house to the late emperor?"

Wan An's face changed slightly, but he looked at Wynn in shock.

Wynn couldn't bear the old Chief Assistant who refused to resign any longer. When he saw the dental plaque on his waist, he immediately tore it off and said, "You can do it!"

"Please!" The two young eunuchs behind saw that Wan An's dental plaque was taken away, and they also stepped forward to leave Wan'an Road.

Wan An couldn't help but sighed, looked at Wynn with complicated eyes, then picked up the jade piece on the table and left, leaving the place where he had stayed for more than ten years.

"Old ancestor, it seems bad to do this, doesn't it?" Wei Bin couldn't help but worry when he saw Wynn snatching Wan'an's tooth card and forcing him to leave.

Wynn watched Zhu Youtang grow up, so he said confidently: "Your Majesty's meaning is already obvious. What you want is for this old guy to leave. The miscellaneous family has now become a villain for His Majesty. It's too late for His Majesty to be grateful!"

While speaking, an autumn rain began to fall outside, and the rain with the sound of wind sounded like the mourning of autumn. This majestic Beijing city seemed to have a premonition of the coming blood disaster.

　Some of the negative effects of the comments spoiled my mentality, so I may not have time to reply to the real readers' messages in the future, please understand!However, there is good news. Since Lao Wang expired and left the list, "Dollar Rule of Ming Dynasty" has advanced to the second place in the list of new books in history, but the bad news is that the first one is the master of three precepts. "Da Ming" has no chance of being number one on the new book list.Next, the protagonist finally waits for the time to kill. I will write this story well, and I hope readers who like this book will continue to support it!
