Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 170 The Heaven Descends to the People, the King Father Has the World to Pass on to His Son

Zhu Qiyu didn't keep everyone waiting, and revealed the answer: "He Wenyuan, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, is also the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and he joined the cabinet as a scholar of the Imperial Academy to participate in government affairs."

Listening to people present, I feel both surprised and normal.

The poor civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty were almost tortured to the point of schizophrenia by the new king's absurd behavior.

The surprise of the ministers was that although He Wenyuan was an official to the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment, he had already been qualified in terms of qualifications, but he had been dismissed from office and lived at home for several years.

It's all right now, before he entered Beijing, he was promoted again and again, first he served as the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and now he also serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and joined the cabinet as a scholar of the Imperial Academy to participate in politics.

What the ministers think is normal is that everyone has already found the rule of the new king's employment: they like to pick from those who are idle or unsuccessful, but have enough qualifications.

He Wenyuan just happened to meet these conditions perfectly.

Xinjun's approach is both absurd and acceptable to people.

After the new king came to the throne, he made a big effort to create a second minister, which is fine. Now with the appointment of He Wenyuan, the Ministry of Rites already has three ministers.

What makes people reluctantly accept it is that the Ministry of Rites does not have any real power, and one or two more is not particularly in the way.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the expressions of the crowd and secretly laughed in his heart. In fact, his appointment of the three ministers of the Ministry of Rites is not entirely groundless.

According to Zhu Qiyu's later experience, after Taichang ate red pills and ascended to heaven, two emperors of Ming Dynasty died within a month.During the intensive power transfer of the three emperors Wanli, Taichang, and Tianqi, there was a phenomenon that many ministers of the Ministry of Rites coexisted.

According to Zhu Qiyu's hazy and incomplete statistics, at least four ministers of the Ministry of Rites existed at the same time.I have only got three Ministers of Rites so far, which is not enough.

As for why He Wenyuan had to be brought up, there are also arguments.He Wenyuan in history strongly advocated the abolition of Zhu Jianshen and the replacement of Zhu Jianji as the prince.

Moreover, in the imperial edict for abolishing Prince Yi, Chen Xun wrote the first sentence: "Heaven descends from the people to be the king."

He Wenyuan added his own famous saying in the second sentence: The father has the world, and it is passed on to the son.

Not to mention others, even Zhu Qiyu himself felt that He Wenyuan was a little too much.

But Zhu Qiyu had no choice. Relying on Wang Wen, He Wenyuan and others was much more reliable than relying on Hu Wei and Wang Zhi's hardcore emperors and Li Xian, Shang Lu, and Yu Qian's swaying gang.

In the end, the Taishanghuang seized the family and restored it, Wang Wen was killed, and He Wenyuan committed suicide.

Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu looked around at the crowd, and seeing that no one objected, he felt a little embarrassed.

Zhu Qiyu patted the coffee table lightly, okay, you are all like this, then I will give you a one-do-one, two-dozen.So he smiled very kindly:
"I asked for the list of Jinshi from the 13th, [-]th, and [-]th years of orthodoxy, and read it carefully. Now that Huang Aiqing and He Aiqing have been sent out to serve as counselors in military affairs, I don't have any capable ministers around me, so I have to be promoted again. Two people use it to the side.

Let’s start with the orthodox seven years, let the Bingke do the work for Xu Zheng, the editor of the Imperial Academy Huang Jian and also serve as the staff of Zhongshu She, and go to the Xihua Hall to help me with government affairs. "

The ministers are too lazy to take care of this kind of thing, and no one has made any comments.Even Chen Xun, Wang Wen, etc., who have good memories, only know that Xu Zheng is 25 years old and Huang Jian is 29 years old. Xinjun loves to recruit and promote young talents, which is very in line with Xinjun's habits.

The ministers have completely found the pattern. When the Supreme Emperor was in power, he liked to promote people with good looks and good temperament; the new emperor liked to promote people in their 20s.

Only Zhu Qiyu knew in his heart that Xu Zheng and Huang Jian were not only Jinshi on the same list, but also fellow villagers.In history, after the emperor was imprisoned in the Nangong, this pair of brothers and sisters gave Jingtai advice successively, suggesting that the fence be raised, trees cut down, the gate of the Nangong be poured to death with iron juice, and the deposed prince and Yiwang Zhu Jianshen were driven to the fief Yi. The country is hopeless.

After the final restoration of the family, Xu Zheng was killed and Huang Jian was exterminated, so these two people can be regarded as the clearest and firmest Jingtai diehards.

Since none of the ministers will come out to object, then I will make adjustments for you all at once.

Next, Huang Pu appeared on the stage and began to tell the ministers present about Yexian's demands.

After Huang Pu finished speaking, the ministers finally became restless.No matter how cowardly the ministers are, it is absolutely unacceptable to play with Daming's women first if they want to give them away.

Without waiting for the ministers to speak, Zhu Qiyu chose his position in advance: "In this matter, if you want to continue to redeem the Supreme Emperor, you must give Ye Xian a woman; if you refuse to give Ye Xian a woman, you can only be forced to give up halfway to redeem the Supreme Emperor.

I'm also confused and can't make a decision.So it's still a court discussion, everyone talks about their opinions, and the minority obeys the majority. "

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft couch and closed his eyes in a daze.

As expected, the ministers quarreled for half an hour, Zhu Qiyu almost fell asleep in a daze, but the ministers still failed to give a result.

Although everyone knew that they must not give away their daughters, no one dared to stand up and say that they should completely reject it first, so that the cause of redeeming the Supreme Emperor would be abandoned halfway.

In the end, the ministers finally reached a consensus and shouted together: "Your Majesty is wise and mighty, please ask the Holy One to be arbitrary."

Zhu Qiyu sighed, and said to himself that I was chosen by you to take the blame.When it comes time for someone to be a villain, you all know that the emperor is wise.

But today, the wise new monarch refused to take the blame, and only heard Zhu Qiyu reply with a embarrassed face: "Other things, I can make decisions, but the matter of redeeming the Supreme Emperor involves the empress dowager and empress in the harem.

You should send a representative to meet the Queen Mother.What will happen in the end is up to the queen mother, and I have no opinion. "

In this way, the ministers were all sent away.Only Xu Xuan, Huang Pu, and He Yi were left, and everyone continued to talk about the governance of the Yellow River.

Xu Yu spoke clearly and eloquently, and Zhu Qiyu could not touch the ground when he heard it.

Finally couldn't take it anymore, Zhu Qiyu forcibly interrupted Xu Yu: "Alright Xu Aiqing, I really can't take it anymore, I really don't understand what you said.

There is no need for me to know these things. In short, you can calmly and boldly go to control the river. I will support you if you need anything.

I don't care what you do, as long as you can build the Yellow River and the canal to be as strong as gold, I will promote you to be the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and the governor of water transport and military affairs, the governor of Fengyang and other departments, and Pipe the river. "

There was a long list of official titles, Zhu Qiyu held his breath, and finally read the full official title of the Governor of Water Transport.
