Chapter 623 Restoration
After seeing the ceremony, Zhou Yanru played it loudly to Emperor Chongzhen, telling how he had worked so hard and dedicated himself after he left the capital according to the order, and finally lived up to the emperor's entrustment. Home Bay.I implore the emperor to send another person to Zhangjiawan to count the grain and verify the quantity.

In the words and deeds of his report, the main point was highlighted, that is, he worked tirelessly to fulfill the entrustment of the emperor, and he was almost to the point of devoting himself to the point of dying.

After he finished speaking, he stood at the bottom in a humble gesture, but with his straightened chest and raised eyebrows, he couldn't escape the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, who knew what was going on in his heart.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say a word, he just picked up the memorial on the imperial case and threw it at a corner of the imperial case.Gao Shiyue, the eunuch on duty nearby, immediately stepped forward, took up the memorial with both hands, and walked down to hand it over to Zhou Yanru.

Seeing this situation, Zhou Yanru was slightly startled, not knowing what the emperor meant.Feeling puzzled, he reached out to take it, unfolded it and looked at it.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, after looking at it, the self-satisfaction just now flew to the sky.Beads of sweat were faintly dripping from his smooth forehead.

It turned out that what was recorded in this memorial was the big and small things he did when he was ordered to go out of Beijing to run a business.Including when and where he went, how many times he went to banquets, what level of banquets he had, and who accompanied him.How many times have you participated in poetry tea parties, how many poems you have written, and how many confidante you have.How much salt was induced, how much food was collected, etc., and more important things are recorded.These things strongly proved how nonsense what Zhou Yanru said just now about how hard it is to travel on business.

Emperor Chongzhen was on the top, and when he saw that Zhou Yanru had finished reading, he said indifferently: "In the land of the south of the Yangtze River, associations are prevalent. Zhou Qing enjoys it and enjoys it. It seems that he agrees with it?"

Zhou Yanru's hands holding the memorial trembled a little, he bent down and lowered his head, not daring to make a sound.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw him, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing a slight sneer.This Zhou Yanru is a typical sour Confucian in the late Ming Dynasty. He likes poetry, calligraphy and painting, likes stars holding the moon, and likes a romantic life.He was already a minister at a young age, and when he went to the local area, he was surrounded by everyone, doing silly things all day long.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru did not speak at this time, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Xu Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, left Beijing later than Zhou Qing, but he traveled more than half of Ming Dynasty, and now he is on the grassland. This is hard work and dedication! "

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru bent even lower.

"What do you think of Zhou Qing's trip to the south of the Yangtze River?" Emperor Chongzhen asked in a calm tone.

Zhou Yanru listened to it, if he hadn't seen the memorial in his hand, maybe he would recommend the rehabilitative leader to the emperor and recommend those key scholars.But at this moment, he could already hear that the emperor's liking for these things was obviously disgusting, and if he said that again, he would really hit the wall with his head.

Therefore, he hesitated for a while, and then played in a low voice without confidence: "Return to your majesty, the Jiangnan atmosphere is corrupt, and scholars like women's style, and they are good at boasting, and exaggeration prevails. The backbone of the restoration society is mostly the children of officials and eunuchs." It's a pity that although you have talents, you don't use them in the right way. Through this trip to the south of the Yangtze River, I have had a lot of contact with them, and I really think about it!"

This Fushe is currently in full swing in the south of the Yangtze River.Under the rhetoric, it seems that there is also the trend of leading Jiangnan scholars.Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't pay much attention to it, judging from the news he had heard so far, he didn't like it very much.

Of course, if the Emperor Chongzhen knew that in the original history, the Fushe would have replaced the Donglin Party, and later developed into the giant of the Chongzhen Dynasty, controlling the imperial examinations of the Chongzhen Dynasty and remotely controlling the government.Zhang Pu, the leader of the meeting, even allowed Zhou Yanru, who had gone to the field, to come out again as the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. His energy is so great that when he is even called the emperor of the people, I am afraid it is not just dislike.

At this time, after listening to Zhou Yanru's words, Emperor Chongzhen said to him: "Zhou Qing has worked hard to gather food. I consider Zhou Qing's health, so I might as well rest for a while. During this period, Zhou Qing might as well go to the How about taking a trip to the south of the Yangtze River, with Zhou Qing's talent and knowledge, possibly turning the exaggerated style of the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River around?"

Although it was a language of discussion, the tone of the speech was very firm, and there was no possibility of Zhou Yanru's veto.

Zhou Yanru looked at the memorial in his hand, and the joy he was full of before had already flown to the sky, he sighed in his heart, and respectfully said: "I obey the order!"

He knew that this trip to the south of the Yangtze River again was probably going to fight the Confucian scholars.It's really good luck, the first half of the year was still fun, but the second half of the year will be full of verbal confrontation.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru agreed, Emperor Chongzhen finally softened his tone, said some polite words of condolences, and asked him to back down.

As far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, the scholarly atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River greatly influenced the Ming Dynasty.It can be said that the ethos of the entire Ming Dynasty is headed by Jiangnan.Earlier, through the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen had already learned about the corruption of the atmosphere there.

Just imagine, as the backbone of the Ming Empire, the scholars who will be the pillars of the future wear women's clothes and compete for luxury. If such a culture exists, what hope is there for the future of the Ming Dynasty?

And the reversal of the trend is not something that can be solved by killing a few people.The most important thing is that the current focus of Emperor Chongzhen is still on the Liao affairs and the disaster in the north of the Ming Dynasty.And Zhou Yanru was talented and learned in Daming. It can be said that he has relatively great influence among scholars in Daming.Let him go to the south of the Yangtze River, first to stop the further erosion of the Jiangnan scholarly atmosphere, I believe it will have a certain effect.

When the matter of Liaodong Jianlu is settled and the Hetao side stabilizes, I will have the spare energy to start paying attention to the Jiangnan side and see how to deal with them!
Emperor Chongzhen thought so, and temporarily put the matter behind him.After all, although Jiangnan's affairs are important, they are not the most urgent.As for the grain collected by Zhou Yanru in the south of the Yangtze River and transported to Tongzhou, there is no need to transport it to the capital, and it will be directly transported to Zhangjiakou.Let Hong Chengchou send troops from the grassland to Zhangjiakou, transport the grain back to Hetao, and use it as their winter grain, it should be enough!
After arranging this matter, Emperor Chongzhen turned his attention to Liaodong again.Through the chat group, he knew that the new army fleet was about to arrive at Phi Island.Judging from Li Deming's report, the Korean people once again fell into dire straits.Jianlu, who was stationed in the capital of North Korea, threatened Gwanghae-jun to send people to distribute food everywhere, and more and more food was confiscated and transported to the capital for concentration.
