The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 724
The first assistant spoke, and because Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong blocked Youyou's mouth in advance, no minister was willing to be the leader.

Chongzhen didn't see that Zheng Zhilong sent someone to give him a gift, so of course he would not object to the recruitment of the Fujian Navy.

On the spot, it was agreed to order Zheng Zhilong to be transferred to Liaohai to participate in the war, under the command of General Zhenglu.

The cabinet immediately drafted the imperial decree, and the director of ceremonies immediately printed it, and sent it to Fujian in an expedited [-] miles on the same day.

It is estimated that the court is so efficient this time, and the ministers who have interests with Zheng Zhilong will write letters to report the news after they go back, and they will definitely not be able to catch up with the arrival of the imperial decree. Zheng Yiguan will not have time to prepare in advance.

Changing important ministers in the Chongzhen Dynasty was a common occurrence, and Zheng Zhilong could not be blamed for his refusal to turn cold stoves. There were too many officials who needed filial piety, and Liang Tingdong, Zhang Fengyi, etc. who were on and off the stage were not bothered.

Therefore, there is no perfect good thing, and there will be no 100% bad thing. The important officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty were like revolving lanterns, which led to the lack of continuity of government orders, but also caused the speculators who needed to bribe officials to be at a loss.

At this time, Chongzhen, who was listening to the important minister's performance, was actually a little absent-minded. He was eager to know from Yang Sichang, Zhang Fengyi, Liang Tingdong and other important officials who had just returned from Xuanda whether Huang Han had changed recently.

I especially want to know the attitude of General Zhenglu when he learned that Dongnu respected him as the empress. Seeing that several people did not mention this matter for a long time, Chongzhen had no choice but to ask:

"You dear ones should have met with General Zhenglu a few days ago. Do you know how he plans to eliminate the negative impact of Dongnu's divorce plan?"

Yang Sichang said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the words of the Great General Zhenglu are not at odds with Dongnu. The slave chief's tricks are enough to show that Qianlu's skills are poor. As long as my Ming emperor and ministers are not suspicious, Dongnu's tricks will be self-defeating."

At this time Zhang Fengyi came out of the class and yelled loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say!"

Chongzhen said: "You don't need to worry too much about Aiqing, you can speak freely."

"Dong Nu entered Xuanda, and Shanxi fought all the way to Henan. When all the officials and troops were at a loss, General Zhenglu decisively led his troops into Shanxi to fight against the enemy and won a complete victory, causing Dong Nu to flee in a hurry.

During this period of time, His Majesty has promoted many civil servants and generals who have made meritorious service, but neglected the first hero. I am afraid that it will make people feel chilling! "

Liang Tingdong saw that Zhang Fengyi took the initiative to ask for a reward for the general who conquered the captives, and he secretly slandered in his heart. He refused to be left behind, so he said the same thing:

"Your Majesty, the veteran has been in the 'Red Banner Army' for more than a year, and he knows that one of the secrets of this brave man's daring to fight is the clear rewards and punishments.

The imperial court needs civil servants and generals to be dedicated to their duties, and it is even more important to grasp the principle of fairness.

Those who have made great achievements will be rewarded, but the generals who have made great achievements in conquering captives will not receive any rewards.

Even if the general Zhenglu has no complaints, it is difficult to make the arrogant soldiers under his command calm down. The old minister begs to give the general Zhenglu a reward to calm the heart of the "Red Banner Army". "

"This..." Chongzhen began to sweat, how many years has it been?The Ming Dynasty did not grant the title of duke to any country, and now he has to add officials to the rank of nobility, isn't it to be canonized as the king of Huanghan County?

Chongzhen asked rhetorically: "The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty ruled that heterosexuals cannot be crowned kings, and the general who conquered captives has already become a duke with his closest ministers. How can I add more officials to him?"

In fact, many civilian and military generals in the Ming Dynasty despised the Zhu family's stingy attitude towards titles, and they couldn't listen to the use of any ancestral system to prevaricate real problems.

The ancestral system that the opposite sex cannot be crowned king is complete nonsense, it is the overlord clause when the imperial power was full of gold and the Ming Dynasty was strong.

How many county kings and vassal kings did the weak Nanming seal in history?
Even Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Ma Jinzhong, Li Chengdong and other rogues have all become the princes of Nanming.

It is true that Liang Tingdong is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty, but he is now the governor of Liaodong and is working for the "Five Years of Ping Liao".

He was in a good mood during this time, because he was a wily man who believed that he had been with the general Zhenglu, and even if the Ming court changed in the future, he would not suffer.

If Huang Han replaced Daming, he might be a minister of the dragon. If Huang Han is still loyal to Daming, he will also share in the great achievements of Ping and Liao, and maybe he will be able to retire with the title of title in the end.

We have to break the so-called ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty now, and everyone will benefit in the future, because it is also the ancestral system not to be conferred without military merit. Liang Tingdong is in the army.
Liang Tingdong said: "Your Majesty, times have changed and we can no longer stick to the rules.

I think back in the time of the Taizu, officials who were greedy for ink and silver 60 taels were stripped and stuffed.

If such an ancestral system is still implemented now, is there someone in the court?

Since His Majesty can not implement such an ancestral system, it is enough to show that the ancestral system can also be accommodated. "

Nine out of ten officials who were born in the two ranks of Jinshi have the ability to debate. Liang Tingdong's words made Chongzhen choke enough.

Because what he said makes sense, since the ancestral system is implemented, it must be done without compromise. Why let the emperor choose which one to implement? Isn't this obviously unfair?
At this time, Zhang Fengyi chimed in and said: "Master Liang speaks out the heart of the old minister quickly. The principle of fairness is the bottom line of the imperial court. It is inappropriate to use the ancestral system at this time. The old minister urges your majesty to reward the general who recruited captives."

Yang Sichang looked at the emperor who was rendered speechless by Zhang Fengyi and Liang Tingdong's blushing face, sighed in his heart, and advised:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty should know what conditions Dong Nu offered to lure General Zhenglu to let him go.

When Dongnu established the puppet Qing Dynasty, the judges Zu Dashou, Kong Youde, and Geng Zhongming all got the princes.

My opponent of Ming Dynasty is so willing to spend money to win over civil servants and generals of Ming Dynasty, it is inappropriate for His Majesty to use the inviolability of the ancestral system to block the advancement of heroes. "

Wen Tiren was on his back during this time, because when he was about to deal with Qian Qianyi, the leader of the Donglin Party, something went wrong, and Cao Huachun, the director of rites and part-time admiral of the East Factory who had something to do with the Donglin Party, took action.

Originally, Wen Tiren was planning to help Qian Qianyi make friends with cronies, spread strange theories and slander the government all day long.Since Luo Qi had collected all the witnesses and material evidence, he was just about to kill him.

Unexpectedly, Qian Qianyi did not stand still and asked someone to ask Cao Huachun, one of the emperor's most trusted eunuchs. Now Qian Qianyi's case has been transferred to Dongchang.

In this kind of case, if the public says the public is right and the woman says the woman is right, it is impossible to close the iron case, it all depends on the attitude of the presiding officer.

The piercing Wen Tiren certainly sensed danger.

The emperor had used him as chief assistant for many years, and the honeymoon period had passed long ago, and Wen Tiren, who felt that the situation was not good, had the idea of ​​retiring.

It's just that Wen Tiren has made too many political opponents and offended the entire Donglin Party in the six years he has been the chief assistant.

Wen Tiren thought of Huang Han's promise to take care of his children and grandchildren back then, and thought that at this time it is even more important to deepen his relationship with General Zhenglu.
