Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 55

Dong Xiaowan, Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi usually like to joke around, but at this time Xiaowan could catch the subject, and said to Liu Rushi with a small mouth: "This is my sister's fault, Master Li is clearly in the house, but my sister stares and lies to deceive you." We, as younger sisters, don't ask for an explanation, is there any justice in that?" As he said, he gave Li Xiangjun a wink.

Li Xiangjun smiled knowingly, Bai Mei suddenly became enthusiastic, and gossiped to Liu Rushi: "What Xiaowan said is that I will punish my sister, and punish my sister to sing us a few poems about meeting Master Li."

"Stop messing around with you two brats, what's wrong with that..." Liu Rushi's cheeks were slightly red, and she gave Qian Qianyi a coquettish look, with an expression of "I'm going to blame you for everything", and half pushed and half wanted to deny it.

"Okay!" After Qian Qianyi took the initiative to take the seat without politeness, he interrupted Liu Rushi with a deep voice.

He didn't come here to join in the fun and gossip with them, but he had business to do, so he sneered at the four young masters with a straight face, "What did the four of you just say, praising the emperor as a wise master who strives hard for governance, isn't it a bit superficial?"

The fourth son is very respectful to Qian Qianyi, not because he is in Qian's residence, nor because Qian Qianyi is two years old, nor because he is a minister of the Ministry of Rites. It was because of Qian Qianyi's knowledge and his position in the Donglin Party.

In front of Qian Qianyi in terms of knowledge, they can only be regarded as primary school students, and Fushe is not at the same level as Donglin Party, so seeing that Donglin Party leader Qian Qianyi is about to preach, the fourth master bowed more respectfully: "Students are willing to hear high-level theory, and I ask Qian Gong to give me some advice."

Qian Qianyi looked very useful, and cupped his hands, "The emperor has been different recently, and has done a few vigorous and major events, which are obvious to all. However, it is a big mistake to think that the emperor has worked hard to govern, comparable to Yao and Shun. You are so wrong. Don’t you guys realize that the eunuchs are the emperor’s most important ones? Admiral Lu Jiude supervised Dongchang, Li Guofu became the supervisor of rites and the seal of the imperial horse supervisor, and the admiral of Anlin the imperial horse supervisor also became the emperor The celebrities around him, after the big change in Dongchang, the emperor held Jin Yiwei firmly in his hands through Zheng Hongkui, Zu Hai and others. He could arrest whoever he wanted, and kill whoever he wanted. The few in the cabinet were like walking corpses. Even though Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng fell, Lu Jiude and Li Guofu came up, after all, the eunuchs are still in power, the imperial power is arbitrary, and if things go on like this, the country will be ruined!"

"Duke Qian is right. If the emperor does this, the future of Ming Dynasty is worrying. Tsk tsk tsk..." Qian Qianyi's words made the four young masters get emotional again.

Liu Rushi said: "Aren't you too pessimistic? The emperor punished the treacherous party Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng, released the innocent people, and reused Lu Daqi and others who were born in Donglin. Isn't this a happy thing?"

"My sister is right, don't look at people with old eyes, I feel that the emperor has cheered up, at least he is not the faint-hearted lord who looked at Ma Shiying's face in everything." Li Xiangjun agreed, and Dong Xiaowan also nodded.

"Hmph, don't let the clouds cover your eyes. The old man sees that you are all being deceived. The emperor enriched the cabinet and reused a few Donglin students. From the old man's point of view, it's just a cover-up. Don't you see that these people are all deaf ears—a display." In addition, the emperor is now in love with house raids. From the eunuch Han Zanzhou to Ma Shiying and others, it is said that the emperor confiscated nearly 2000 million silver, all of which were filled into the internal treasury, and not a single penny went into the treasury. Everyone, the internal treasury is already abundant, Now the national treasury has been running low for years, making ends meet, civil affairs are not repaired, state affairs are not carried out, the people are displaced, and all industries are waiting to be flourished, but the emperor does not care about these things, and blindly puts money in his own pocket. How can the emperor still have his son in his heart? The people and the country and the country?"

After Qian Qianyi's words, the Fourth Young Master and the Three Beauties vented their anger a bit rough, and they looked filled with righteous indignation, "Mr. Qian knows the truth, and we must not let it go. What should we do, Mr. Qian, please pay attention. We will only follow the lead."

Qian Qianyi finally figured out the whirling air in his chest, and the wrinkles on his face were less, he said loudly: "Let the Donglin scholars and the Fushe people know the bad deeds of the Holy Majesty..."

Return to Suizhou, Henan for the time being.

"The angel officer, Eunuch Lu, is here!" The accompanying eunuch screamed, and the civil and military officials of Suizhou, headed by the imperial envoy Chen Qianfu and Yuan Shu, who participated in politics in Henan, knelt down in a large area.

The unremarkable Suizhou received two imperial decrees within ten days, and the officials in Suizhou were overwhelmed by the flattery, and suddenly became nervous.

Moreover, they found that the first time to pass the decree was the admiral An Lin of the Yumajian, and this time it was the admiral Lu Jiude of the East Factory. They saw Lu Jiude holding the Tianzi Sword in his arms, so they all knelt upright, as solemn as worshiping the emperor, and they felt like the mountain was about to come and the wind filled the building.

Chen Qianfu and Yuan Shu brought Lu Jiude back to the garden as if they were worshiping gods. After setting up the incense table, taking a bath and changing clothes, Chen Qianfu, Yuan Shu and others knelt down again.

Lu Jiude cleared his throat, but no matter how clear he was, the tone was still the same. Because several major events were linked together, the edict was a bit long. In addition, Lu Jiude was afraid that others would not be able to hear him clearly, so he read it aloud, taking it easy. The cadence was up and down, so he read the edict for nearly half a stick of incense.

In addition to promoting the official positions of Lu Jiude, Chen Qianfu, and Yuan Shu, the imperial decree also outlined the subjugation of the rebellious officials and thieves headed by Ma Shiying.

Except for Lu Jiude's unique voice, the whole audience could hear the needle falling, and the civil and military officials kneeling below did not dare to breathe out, and listened intently.

After Lu Jiude read out the decree, the shock in the hearts of these people kneeling below was no less than a magnitude [-] earthquake. So many things happened in the capital in just a few days?Ma Shiying and others with deep roots deserve what they deserve?

These people couldn't even believe it, but the imperial decree was unquestionable, and only then did they understand that the emperor's transfer of Yue Qijie and Xu Dingguo was not a reward, nor was it a plan to mediate conflicts for them and eradicate the chaotic party. Liao Yue Qijie and Xu Dingguo bullied others, were domineering and domineering, and were finally able to support themselves. This is really satisfying.

Thinking of Lu Jiude sitting in Henan, and the emperor conferring officials and titles on them, Chen Qianfu and Yuan Shu were very excited and deeply moved. Whoever said that I will be at sunset in the west, and who said that your majesty is unrestrained, in our opinion, your majesty is worthy of Compared with Yao and Shun, there is still hope for the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving the decree ceremony, Chen Qianfu and Yuan Shu immediately arranged a place for Lu Jiude, and the three of them immediately followed the decree.
