Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 347 Guan Shaoning Wants to Abolish Zhu Youjian's New Deal
Zhu Youjian chose to summon Ruan Dayue alone. Now he doesn't need a gentleman to stand in the court, but a villain who can fight against the entire civil servants and is cunning enough to serve his emperor's great cause.

"I see that your memorials are quite insightful. Now that Gao Hongtu is forming a cabinet, I don't know what Aiqing thinks?"

Zhu Youjian asked a question, while Ruan Dayue straight to the point and said: "I have something that I have never dared to hold in my heart and dare not say. Now that your majesty asks, I dare to risk my life to speak out!"

Seeing that Ruan Dayue risked his life to remonstrate, Zhu Youjian was rather surprised. He never thought that a bureaucrat like Ruan Dayue would risk his life in doing things: "Um, what advice does Ai Qing have, I'll just listen to it."

"My minister thinks that His Majesty should punish such traitors as Gao Hongtu and Shi Kefa. These His Majesty De Meng has been promoted to a high position, but he has no sense of gratitude to his father. He is willing to be driven by traitors to persecute his father. He is unfaithful and unfilial. It's not a pity to cut him into pieces, and every time I think of it, I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood!"

Ruan Dayue gritted his teeth and knelt down directly: "Your Majesty! These are the words from the heart of the minister. I have never been harmed by these hypocrites who appear to be upright but have no home and country! If you don't kill them, how can you imitate others? !"

Zhu Youjian didn't expect Ruan Dayue to let himself kill Gao Hongtu and others, and he acted so excitedly.

Fortunately, he was summoned alone at this time, and there were no officials around, otherwise Ruan Dayue might have offended the entire civil official group.

Although Zhu Youjian didn't hate the civil servants who threatened him as much as he did at the beginning, Ruan Dayue's performance at the moment really made him very excited, and he couldn't help feeling the urge to make Ruan Dayue the leader and assistant.

After all, it is not easy to find an official who is against one's own class. Forgive Fan Jingwen, a northern official who followed him to the south, is like this, let alone others.

"Aiqing, please, I have only known Aiqing's heart from today's words. Now that the Ming Dynasty is full of flames, tolerance should be the most important thing in everything. It doesn't matter whether the ministers are stupid or the chaotic officials and thieves are against the enemy. Everything has to be smashed. Let’s talk about the dream of the Southern Expedition again, now that Gao Hongtu’s cabinet formation is mainly to coordinate the interests of all parties, no matter what, you should uphold your original aspirations and serve the country, and don’t use personal anger to mislead the country’s affairs, otherwise I will not lightly forgive you when I know it!”

When Zhu Youjian said this, the implication was that it would help Ruan Dayue enter the cabinet and become a minister of the Six Departments.

But Ruan Dayue was extremely happy when he heard this, knowing that he had bet on His Majesty's intentions.

Zhu Youjian knew that Ruan Dayue was a speculator, but he really needed such a villain now, so he had to reuse him, and even directly hinted: "After Gao Hongtu forms a cabinet this time, I need more loyal ones like Aiqing." As for my people, I don't want the entire six ministries of the cabinet to be of one mind when dealing with me."

"Your Majesty's meaning, I understand, please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers are all His Majesty's people," Ruan Dayue said before leaving.

On the same day, Zhu Youjian immediately informed Gao Hongtu that he would replace Ma Shiying with Ruan Dayue when the cabinet was formed.

Soon, Gao Hongtu handed over the list of candidates for the new cabinet to Zhu Youjian.

Liu Wanchun served as the Minister of the Household Department, and also led the Bachelor of Wenhuadian University;
Ruan Dayue served as Minister of the Ministry of War, and concurrently led the Bachelor of Wuyingdian University;
Ma Shiying was promoted to Jinshendian University and continued to supervise the Southwest;
Hua Yuncheng served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and concurrently led the Bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion;
The Minister of Rites is Guan Shaoning, who is also the leader of Dongge University Bachelor;

Song Yingxing continued to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and concurrently led the Bachelor of Dongge University.

Chen Shiding, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, served as the left servant of the Ministry of officials.

Huo Da, governor of Susong, served as the right servant of the household department.

Ye Weizhen, the deputy envoy of Su Song's military preparations, served as the right servant of the Ministry of War.

To whom were all the officials given? Ouyang Dachao was promoted to be the censor of the left deputy capital.

Many newcomers emerged from the cabinet ministers and the six ministers, and many of them were officials who were quite opposed to the current government. In this way, Guan Shaoning and other officials were very happy, and they all felt that they had won the battle. The political war began to gradually regain the political power lost by the Southern Zhili people.

However, they also know that it is only a compromise made by His Majesty Zhu Youjian in the face of external and internal pressure, and they do not support them in presiding over the government in their hearts, and they also know that it is not enough to subvert the government, so they They also forbear for the time being, trying to wait for a better opportunity to fight for more rights.

"There is Hua Yuncheng in the Ministry of Officials. Although this guy is from Southern Zhili, he is notoriously stubborn. He has never formed a party or seeks private interests. There is Ruan Dayue in the Ministry of War. This shameless villain actually holds the position of Chief Sima. There is also Liu Wanchun in the Ministry, and there is no way to change the tax policy, and now we can only rely on Chen Shilang to preside over the executive affairs of the Ministry of Officials, and a lot of people who support us at the local level!"

According to the usual practice, Zhu Youjian basically gave python suits to every cabinet scholar to distinguish him from other officials, so now Guan Shaoning is also wearing a full suit and sitting in the official hat chair with a calm demeanor, discussing with his fellow party members.

"Old Ge, but don't worry, Hua Yuncheng is not as good as before, he is getting older, and he also puts a lot of emphasis on the township party in selecting officials. At that time, the whole Jiangnan will be our people, and at that time, we will have to be here. When the tax is collected next year, give eye drops to the household department."

Chen Yuding sneered.

"All government affairs and sociology expansion projects and sociology three-year free education and preferential treatment policies for faculty members at the Ministry of Rites will also be suspended;
It is not as beneficial for the son of a farmer to enter the imperial court than for my merchant's son to enter the imperial court. We are all from a scholarly family, so how can we tolerate the rise of poor students? the son of the common people of the five grains;
Confucian scholars such as us have always been of good character and have a strong family background, so it is only reasonable to occupy the majority. "

Guan Shaoning expressed his attitude after presiding over the ritual department.

His fellow party members nodded approvingly, and Huo Da also laughed: "Now that I am in charge of the expenditure of the Ministry of Finance, I will have to allocate some money to your Ministry of Rites. As for the matter, Mr. Ge, you can just explain it to the chief assistant in this way, and no one will be able to blame you when the time comes."

"That's exactly what I said, but more silver dollars should be allocated to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials. It takes money to train our people."

Ouyang Da and Chen Yuding both laughed when Guan Shaoning, the scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and Minister of Rites, said this.

"Right now, the Qing Dynasty is about to go south, and everyone should think about how to survive and survive," Tu Guobao couldn't help but interjected at this time.

"If the Qing Dynasty can go south and take Jiangnan, we will be a minister. Could it be that the regent will not let me wait to become an official?"

When Guan Shaoning said this, the rest of the people burst out laughing.

……

"This Guan Shaoning, really thinks that he is half of the cabinet's chief minister, and he secretly formed a party to seek political interests, and even abolished my new education reform policy, so shamelessly saying that the Qing Dynasty is coming. If I just surrender, I wish I could cut him alive!"

Zhu Youjian angrily threw the secret report in Wang Chengen's hand to the ground, and after a while he ordered: "Call me for Gao Hongtu, Liu Wanchun, Ruan Dayue, and Hua Yuncheng!"
