Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 691 Splashing Dung Water (13rd update, add [-] for leader AsukaRan)

Whether it is Zhu Cihong's benevolence or the benevolence of a woman, who told Chongzhen to be busy with state affairs, so he didn't have many sons left to choose from, so he appointed Zhu Cihong as the prince early?
Among Chongzhen's remaining surviving sons, the third son, Ding Wang Zhu Cijiong, was dispatched to the Northeast Province because of his insincerity.

Only Zhu Cihong was left.

However, Zhu Cihong may be a little indecisive, but he has an excellent advantage. Wanshi likes to follow his father Chongzhen, and he firmly believes in the instructions of his father, a model worker.

What he said just now was from Zhu Cihong's heart. After all, he had experienced the most difficult moment of Ming Dynasty, and he knew that his father was relying on Brother Liu to overcome the difficulties at that time.

Now that there is no war in Ming Dynasty, the situation is much better than it was back then, how can he mess himself up and submit to the courtiers!

"If this is the case, I can rest assured that I will never indulge those courtiers again tomorrow. The Ministry of Industry is not for the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials is not for the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Punishment is not for the Ministry of Punishment. It has Dongchang and Jinyiwei." Liu Hongjian Said gratified.

As for the cabinet, Liu Hongjian planned to deal with it himself. These guys were too senior, and he was worried that Zhu Cihong would not be able to take action. Anyway, his reputation among the courtiers had already been rotten, and this third time was not bad.

"One more thing. Jinyiwei sent news yesterday that the rebellious Zheng Zhilong in Nanyang seems to have started a war with the Dutch." Liu Hongjian sighed.

It seems that not only the Netherlands lived there, but also the Francois and Franconia countries. The colonies of the three countries were in a triangular shape, which happened to surround Zheng Zhilong's residence in Sulu.

According to the latest information, in order to swallow the fat of Sulu, the Three Kingdoms intend to unite to destroy Zheng Zhilong.

In the beginning, Lao Zheng was expelled from Daming, firstly to remove the hidden dangers of the imperial court, and secondly, it was also the idea of ​​letting Lao Zheng go to Huhuo foreigners.

Zheng Zhilong is actually a man with no big ambitions. From historical records, it can be seen that after defeating the Dutch a few years ago, this guy started to build a large family business without thinking about making progress.

One of his generals, Yi Ying, also followed suit. He built Anping City with his bare hands, collecting protection fees as his main business every day, and didn't care much about Ming affairs or even the establishment of slaves.

Zheng Zhilong's idea is very simple, to keep his own property, this is the reason why he chose to flee to Nanyang, and it is also the reason why after the collapse of Ming Dynasty, he was fooled by his fellow Hong Chengchou to surrender to the puppet Qing Dynasty despite the dissuasion of his subordinates.

However, now that the Zheng family was really under siege, Liu Hongjian felt a little bit sorry. Of course, the biggest reason for this was his younger brother Zheng Sen.

As a national hero of later generations, how could he let the young Zheng Sen die in a foreign land before he had time to perform?
The current predicament of the imperial court must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise it will be delayed for a long time, which will be detrimental to major events, Liu Hongjian said in his heart.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, just after leaving the Meridian Gate, Fang Yuegong just walked here.

"Yo, Mr. Fang has just arrived, come back, the emperor is willing to see you and count me as the loser." Liu Hongjian said jokingly.

"You... old man..."

"Lord Fang!" Fang Yuegong was dizzy with anger, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Wu Ganlai behind him quickly helped him.

What is this called?The first half of the sentence is a sarcasm, and the second half is a naked personal attack. Fang Yuegong is 64. Where has he been so angry, he didn't know how to refute it.

"I'm waiting for the sun and the moon to shine, and the sky and the earth can learn from each other. Your lord, don't bully people too much!" Wu Ganlai, the servant of the household department, said in a deep voice.

Wu Ganlai's words were considered polite, after all, he was rescued by Liu Hongjian when he was in Shanhaiguan.

"Hahaha, whatever you say, it's still the same sentence, anyone who dares to neglect government affairs, no matter what position he holds, I will catch him!" After finishing speaking, Liu Hongjian didn't hesitate, and went straight outside the Meridian Gate. He took his horse and left the palace.

Sure enough, just after noon on the second day, news came from the palace, saying that the officials in the early court tried to obstruct the reform of the imperial examination system.

Zhu Cihong directly rewarded Meng Zhaoxiang with twenty court sticks, and then ordered Dongchang fanzi to arrest nearly one-third of the courtiers in the court. The black prison of the factory.

The rest of the people with backbone applied to beg for their bones to return to their hometowns, and Zhu Cihong even agreed to all of them with a stroke of a pen.

If it is bitter, Li Banghua and Han Yu are the most miserable.

Li Banghua always claimed that he was sick and finally chose not to help each other, but in the eyes of the courtiers, he was actually helping Liu Hongjian, so that the servants of the Li family went to the street to buy food and were pointed out by the scholars in the past. despise.

But Han Yu was struggling with government affairs. The entire cabinet, the chief assistant fell ill, and Fang Yuegong, Ni Yuanlu, and Meng Zhaoxiang were all imprisoned. In addition, only Liu Hongjian, a scholar of the Martial Arts Hall, and Zhang Tianlu, a scholar of Dongge University, remained in the cabinet.

Needless to say, Liu Hongjian, this guy never went to the cabinet to make an appointment at all, so it can be ignored.

The rest was Zhang Tianlu, a member of the Eastern Palace Party, but this guy was a bit unreliable, which made Han Yu very depressed, and all the government affairs were on his shoulders.

At the beginning, this guy also waved the flag with Fang Yuegong, intending to stop the reform of the imperial examination together with Donglin, but since Liu Hongjian took over the Inspectorate, this guy immediately stopped his flag and drums.

Not only that, Chen Taiying, the right deputy capital of the Inspectorate, Yushi Donggong party member, also succumbed, and wrote a letter of guarantee in Jinyiwei Prison, no longer preventing the reform of the imperial examination system, and devoted himself to dealing with government affairs. Directly 'gloriously' out of prison.

No integrity, this is Han Yu's final evaluation of these Donggong party members.

Moreover, he is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is one of the most fiercely opposed to the reform of the imperial examination system. The only people who can work in the Ministry of Rites are those who regard etiquette as more important than their lives. This also gives Han Yu a headache.

Regarding this, Liu Hongjian's answer was to see how Ye Xianggao, the polished commander in the Wanli period, handled affairs, and by the way, suggested that Han Yuping be transferred to the Ministry of Officials as Minister.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion and assessment of officials all over the world. It is the most important yamen among the six departments. Liu Hongjian's meaning is very clear. Now that most of the officials in the court are imprisoned or resigned, you old Han can watch the promotion, anyway. There are a lot of reserve officials, but if it doesn't work, Kai Enke will recruit again.

What else did Han Yu say, he gritted his teeth and took over the stall.

In late April, the turmoil of the reform of the imperial examination system spread throughout the Ming Dynasty. The expected courtiers did not give in, and the protests intensified instead.

It seems to be organized. When meeting in the capital, it is common to see a group of scholars angrily accusing the court of treacherous officials to the common people.

Beijing, April 26, morning, Anguo County Prince's Mansion.

Liu Delong's sleep has not been very good recently, so that he got up from the bed at dawn. A few days ago, he heard that Meng Zhaoxiang was sent to prison by His Majesty, which made Liu Delong feel sad.

In the past few days, he has also figured it out, he is not a member of the court, there is no need to forcibly interfere with his son's affairs, not to mention that the imperial examination is dominated by His Majesty, he does not want to go to prison.

After going out the door, Liu Delong stretched himself, and suddenly felt something wrong with the smell in the air.

Liu Delong sniffed heavily, why is there...the smell of feces?
"My lord, my lord, it's not good! The gate of our county prince's mansion and the walls on both sides have been splashed with feces!" The servant of the guard came to report in a panic.
