Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 247
There are too few loyal ministers in the true sense of the Ming Dynasty, and they are rare. If you want that kind of pure minister with the corresponding ability and status, you must cultivate it yourself.

For Emperor Chongzhen, the political structure of Ming Dynasty in the future will inevitably be multi-party checks and balances, so that he, the emperor of Ming Dynasty, can sit firmly on the dragon chair and grasp the maximum imperial power.

Therefore, the gradually formed imperial party also checks and balances each other internally. After all, the existence of pure ministers is rare.

"His Majesty……"

Zhang Zhiji, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, knelt down on the ground, looked at Emperor Chongzhen with tears in his eyes, choked up several times, but couldn't say what he wanted to say.

An old family is like a treasure, and the death of Zhang Weixian dealt a great blow to the British government.

"Get up."

Returning to Qianqing Palace from Kunning Palace, seeing Zhang Zhiji's expression, Emperor Chongzhen sighed softly, walked forward slowly, bent over and pulled Zhang Zhiji up.

The sudden death of Zhang Weixian, even for the Guochao, is by no means a trivial matter. After all, he is a hereditary Duke of England and a veteran of the four dynasties. There are not many relatives and officials who have friendship.

Knowing that Zhang Weixian was seriously ill, Emperor Chongzhen went to the British government to visit, and he also said the words of "one family and two titles", which will inevitably spread among the ruling and opposition parties.

"Death cannot be brought back to life. As the son of the British Crown Prince, you have to shoulder this burden."

Emperor Chongzhen patted Zhang Zhiji's shoulder, and said with emotion: "The Duke of England is my great loyalty, and your Zhang family, to our Huangming Sheji, is an interpretation of the word loyalty.

I will never forget, and Huang Ming will never forget.

I did not expect such a sudden death of the British Guild. There were many government affairs in the court before, and I have been thinking about it.

but……"

"His Majesty……"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiji's eyes were slightly red, and he knelt down on the ground to show his loyalty. He was awarded two titles in one family, and he was also a hereditary earl. I really felt the favor of Emperor Chongzhen for their Zhang family.

"Forget it, forget about it."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "The funeral of the Duke of England is handled by the Ministry of Rites, you have to stand up, don't let the reputation of the Duke of England fall.

I decided to confer on the eldest grandson of the Duke of England as loyal and brave uncle, grant him a golden book and iron certificate, and supervise the five military camps, and he can choose a son to inherit in the future, so as to show the loyalty and bravery of the Duke of England. "

Emperor Chongzhen was not stingy with those he trusted.

The loyal British lineage to Ming Dynasty deserved all these. If the group of honor and relatives is used well, it will definitely be the support of Emperor Chongzhen in the future.

This is the only way to attack the huge civil servants and realize civil and military checks and balances in the true sense. However, Emperor Chongzhen will never be soft on those duplicitous relatives.

At this stage, there are very few people who can be used around Emperor Chongzhen. For various reasons, groups of relatives like Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen must still be used.

In the future, when the overall situation is grasped and Daming is truly stabilized, if Zhu Chunchen and the others really want to do something excessive, it is not impossible to win the title!
After all, Emperor Taizu Gao and the others did not lose titles, but they also won titles.

"I thank God for your kindness!"

Zhang Zhiji was a little agitated, he quickly knelt down on the ground, bowed down, and expressed his attitude to Emperor Chongzhen. His eldest son, Zhang Shize, was so favored by the emperor, and he inherited the loyal and brave uncle, which also represented There is absolutely no surprise that I inherited the dukedom of the British Duke.

This is very important to Zhang Zhiji.

"Get up, my heart is a little confused." Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Let Pang Tianshou represent me and go to the British government to assist you in presiding over the funeral."

Emperor Chongzhen knew in his heart that he wanted to order Earl Zhang Shize and grant the golden book and iron certificate. Once this matter was spread in the court, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

But that's exactly what he wanted.

Affected by Yuan Chonghuan's case, so many things have been implicated and caused quite a disturbance, so he needs to use this to express his attitude.

"Han Zanzhou, convey the matter of my imperial edict to the British lineage to the Ministry of Rites, and follow the rules." After Zhang Zhiji left, Emperor Chongzhen looked indifferent, and said to Han Zanzhou: "Tell the people in the Ministry of Rites that this Things must be done well, otherwise I will seal it with the imperial decree!"

"Slave order!"

Daming had a strict etiquette process for conferring titles. As far as the Ministry of Rites is controlled by the civil servants, if they really don't want to do it, many things will inevitably happen.

But for Emperor Chongzhen, the British lineage, one family and two honors, must be given, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the late Zhang Weixian.

At the same time, through this matter, he can express his attitude and test the reaction of the civil servant group. At the same time, it can also arouse the appetite of the honorary group.

If Zhang Weixian can do his best for the country and get such an honor, then can they also get this honor? After all, one hereditary and irreplaceable title is completely different from two hereditary and irreplaceable titles.

'Zhang Weixian, although you may be considered a politician, you have fulfilled all the responsibilities and obligations that should be fulfilled. ’In the empty Dongnuan Pavilion, Emperor Chongzhen stood with his hands behind his back, and said in his heart: ‘Word games are sometimes a means, and this loyal and brave uncle is what the British lineage deserves. '

Zhang Weixian's sudden death made Emperor Chongzhen understand a little bit. With his arrival, some timelines began to fluctuate.

If he wants to govern the rotten Daming well, he must maintain a high degree of vigilance, break the current political situation, and let everything go towards what he planned.

If this is not possible, then no one can guarantee whether the tragedy of the Jiashen Rebellion will come in advance, which is absolutely unacceptable to Emperor Chongzhen.

Instead of passively going up the mountain to fight guerrillas, standing at the height of the most political significance in the whole world, ruling this huge feudal dynasty, and wanting to achieve your own political plan, it still has a lot of advantages.

As long as he can reorganize the situation in the north and truly control a large and powerful army in his hands, then there is absolutely no problem in using iron and blood to kill the vigor of the south.

In order to solve the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty from the root, the Emperor Chongzhen could not think of a second good way except for the stubborn performance of the southern dignitaries, gentry, and landlords. After all, the intertwined interests The Internet is not because anyone can take the initiative to dismantle it.
