Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 20 The wind blows outside
It is not easy to be the emperor of Ming Dynasty. From the moment Yuji ascended the throne, countless pairs of eyes stared at him. If he dared to do anything out of the ordinary, it would cause many calculations and constraints.

For the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, what is a good emperor?Few things, listening to advice, kind-hearted, hard-working, studious, the above-mentioned conditions add up, and he is a good emperor of Ming Dynasty!
Since Zhu Youxiao Yuji's ascension to the throne, after the first convening of the early court, all kinds of performances he made obviously avoided the selection criteria of a good emperor, especially the turmoil caused by the inner court, which had a great impact on the foreign court officials.

Wenhua Palace, cabinet.

Slightly different from the usual atmosphere, the current cabinet atmosphere is oppressive, giving people a heavy feeling, and the groups entering and leaving the cabinet look dignified.

From time to time, some people looked in the direction of Qianqing Palace. Even if it was blocked by the red palace wall, they still couldn't stop the suspicion in their hearts.

"Ugh!!"

In a certain office room of the cabinet, a sigh sounded, which made people upset. Sun Ruyou frowned slightly, and looked at Fang Congzhe with his eyes closed.

"Why is Yuanfu sighing?"

Sun Ruyou lifted the sleeves of his robe, and asked tentatively, "Are you worried about the affairs of the inner court?"

"A troubled autumn."

Fang Congzhe said exhaustedly.

Yes.

Sun Ruyou sighed inwardly, thinking of the current political situation, his brows frowned even tighter, looking back at the events that happened in the past month or so, Sun Ruyou only felt like being in a dream, and the good situation in the past turned so bad in an instant.

Donglin Party!
Donglin Party!
Thinking of the group of Donglin party members who rose to power in the court, and remembering that there were still many Donglin party members who went to Beijing to serve, Sun Ruyou was in a worse mood, and looked at Fang Congzhe with a look of resentment.

If Fang Congzhe had not been indecisive or misjudged before Emperor Daxing was in trouble, allowing the Donglin Party members to seize the opportunity, the situation in the DPRK and China would not be like this.

"Yuanfu, the emperor killed Wang An, the former eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, and summoned the Jin Yiwei into the palace to arrest Wang An's party members. Do you think the emperor is wary of the Donglin Party in his heart?"

Sun Ruyou restrained his mind, glanced at the closed palace door, and told Fang Congzhe what he thought. Although Fang Congzhe had resentment in his heart, no matter how dissatisfied he was with the current court situation, he could only hide it in his heart.

"I don't know."

Fang Congzhe slowly opened his eyes, frowned and said: "However, there is one thing that I am very clear about. The emperor re-determined the inner court and summoned the royal guards in Jing Xungui to set up a special imperial guard. , will definitely not let it go, I am afraid that it will not be long before this court will cause a big disturbance."

Just say that the Donglin Party is not good enough.

Sun Ruyou held back a sneer.

At present, the right to speak about science and education is in the hands of the Donglin Party. Zhang Wenda, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yang Lian in the military department, Hui Shiyang in the engineering department, and Zuo Guangdou, the censor, and his party. They are in charge of a lot of key points. Even if there are some people in Kedao such as the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties, the officialdom is about power, and the Donglin party is in the stage of rising.

"...But I feel that this may be a rare opportunity for us."

Sun Ruyou pondered for a moment, and said earnestly: "Perhaps what the Son of Heaven did was too astonishing, but this can also show that the Son of Heaven is worried and worried about the rise of the Donglin Party. After all, the Son of Heaven If it wasn't the Emperor Daxing, the incident of moving the palace would not stand up to scrutiny at all."

"Be careful!"

Fang Congzhe frowned, and with those bright eyes, he first glanced at the closed palace door, and then at Sun Ruyou, "No matter what happens, private discussions are not allowed. Be careful that walls have ears."

Fang Congzhe's performance made Sun Ruyou even more disappointed.

After all is old.

I just want to step down from the position of chief assistant safely.

But don’t you think about it, once the Donglin Party rises completely in power, will the Zhejiang Party still have a way to survive?

As the de facto leader of the Zhejiang Party, Sun Ruyou can be said to be very anxious.

"Even if this matter cannot be discussed privately, doesn't Yuanfu think of anything else?" Sun Ruyou pointed out.

Why don't you want to.

Hearing this, Fang Congzhe's expression turned serious. The current Fang Congzhe is still in a vortex. In his heart, he has always wondered why the Emperor Daxing died so well.

Because of the death of Emperor Daxing, he misjudged the situation, and he personally drafted the edict, so after Xinjun made it clear that he was the emperor, he was discussed by many people in the court, and some people even referred him to Daxing. On the death of the emperor.

This is why Fang Congzhe had a sad face when Zhu Youxiao held the first morning court.

Even Fang Congzhe didn't know about the palace transfer incident that Sun Ruyou just talked about beforehand, and the dignified chief minister of the cabinet was actually kept secret from the beginning.

"Yuanfu, I have heard that since the emperor ordered the palace ban, those Donglin party members have not stopped." Sun Ruyou narrowed his eyes slightly, leaned forward and said, "If they continue to take the lead, we will be even more I'm passive, there are some things that really can't be put off."

"Wait, wait, wait."

Fang Congzhe's brow showed hesitation, hesitatingly said: "Nowadays we are in a troubled time, especially the Liao affairs are corrupt and turbulent, if..."

"Yuansuke!!"

Sun Ruyou suddenly stood up and said: "Just because you think like this doesn't mean they think so too. Do you know that in recent days, some people in the government and the public have begun to talk about the Hongwan case? The Hongwan case! What exactly is going on in this matter? No one knows. I don't know, but someone has already settled the case, don't you worry?"

Fang Congzhe paused slightly.

"If Yuan Fu continues like this, then I will have no choice but to specialize."

Sun Ruyou frowned and said, "I think what the Son of Heaven did was right, and the inner court has experienced so many turmoil, it is impossible to say that there is no problem.

It was the period of national mourning, and Ming Dynasty was in turmoil. If the emperor didn't clean up the inner court and set up the royal guards' governor's mansion, then who can guarantee that there will be no other troubles? "

"What do you want to do?"

Fang Congzhe looked at Sun Ruyou, frowned and said, "The current situation is confusing, can't it be..."

"Do what you think is right."

Sun Ruyou flicked his robe sleeves and said in a low tone: "Yuanfu, I still have matters to attend to, so please leave first. Yuanfu should also think about it carefully."

After saying that, Sun Ruyou saluted Fang Congzhe, turned around and walked out.

An eventful autumn.

Looking at Sun Ruyou's leaving back, Fang Congzhe leaned weakly on the official hat chair, and coughed in the office room. As far as the current court situation is concerned, it can be said that the current situation is turbulent. He, the chief minister of the cabinet, really admires him There are very few people, and the more this is the case, the more hesitant Fang Congzhe is.

The political struggle of Ming Dynasty is like this. You will not accommodate you just because you are still young, let alone because you are old!
