Nodding in satisfaction, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "This time, Han Kuang, a senior scholar in the cabinet, was implicated in the Liaodong case. There are only one or two senior scholars left in the cabinet. Please use to visit this site. Sun Chengzong sits in Liaodong, There is only one Liu Yijing left in the capital, like this! You go and find Liu Yijing, I have something to say to him!"

"It's Your Majesty, the minister will do it now!" Chen Hong said respectfully to Emperor Tianqi.

After tidying himself up, Emperor Tianqi came to Qianqing Palace, and after a short time, Liu Yijing also walked in.

Looking at Liu Yijing who walked in, Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback, the original hale and hearty old man had disappeared, and now Liu Yijing looked very depressed.Sighing lightly, Emperor Tianqi knew that this incident had dealt a severe blow to Liu Yijing.

Arriving at Zhong Yang in the main hall, Liu Yijing lifted up his clothes and knelt down, saying loudly: "My subject, Liu Yijing, sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Looking at Liu Yijing up and down, the Emperor Tianqi knew that this Grand Scholar had ambitions in his heart, and he was not like the Donglin Party members who just talked but didn't practice, which is why Emperor Tianqi didn't pull him into the water this time.

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi said with concern: "Aiqing get up!" He waved to the little eunuch on the side, and said in a deep voice: "Bring a chair for Liu Aiqing, I will sit with Aiqing Let's talk."

When Liu Yijing sat down, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Aiqing, I don't think your complexion is very good, wait a moment and let the imperial physician show you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I'm old and frail, I can't use it anymore!" Shaking his head with a wry smile, Liu Yijing said dejectedly.After this incident, Liu Yijing almost fell ill, with mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like.

"Aiqing, what are you talking about? You are seventy years old, can you still have a living? Aiqing's age is a great opportunity for her to show her ambition!" Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice with his face down.

He looked up at Emperor Tianqi.Liu Yijing knelt down on the ground, and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the Liaodong case is very involved. I have a close relationship with Han Kuang and ** Xing. Although I didn't participate in it, I feel very guilty. I hope His Majesty allows the minister to resign and return to his hometown."

Looking at Liu Yijing who was kneeling on the ground.Emperor Tianqi's face suddenly sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Does Aiqing think that I did it on purpose? Do you think that I despise members of the Donglin Party?" Do you think that you will be the next one to go to prison? "

"I dare not!" Seeing that Emperor Tianqi was angry, Liu Yijing hurriedly said.In fact, Liu Yijing really thought so in his heart, after all, Emperor Tianqi's rectification this time was all from the Donglin Party.He is also a member of the Donglin Party. It is normal for Emperor Tianqi to reprimand him.

Walking to Liu Yijing's side and helping him up, Emperor Tianqi said in a soft voice: "Aiqing, you are really not a fatuous emperor. There is a reason for dealing with those people, and these people deserve their crimes for forming cliques for personal gain. Aiqing can come to Go to Yang He for a trial to see if I wished for someone!"

"Your Majesty, I know that these people deserve what they deserve. I just didn't expect Your Majesty to be so broad-minded. I misunderstood Your Majesty!" Seeing Emperor Tianqi's sincere words, Liu Yijing lowered his head and said in embarrassment.

"Aiqing, now only you and Sun Chengzong are left in the cabinet. Sun Chengzong is now in Liaodong, and the cabinet will rely on Aiqing in the future. From today onwards, Aiqing will be appointed as the second assistant of the cabinet, and Sun Chengzong will be in Liaodong. During the period, all the affairs of the cabinet will be handed over to Aiqing." Emperor Tianqi patted Liu Yijing on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.

Looking at Emperor Tianqi in disbelief, Liu Yijing quickly knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I will do my best!"

"Aiqing. I have a lot to do. Daming's situation is already like this. I need Aiqing to do something for Daming. I don't know what to say, but I know what Aiqing is. I hope Aiqing can work harder Some!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Liu Yijing with a smile, and said softly.

Kneeling on the ground, Liu Yijing said quite emotionally: "Your Majesty, I will be so heartbroken that I will repay Your Majesty's kindness!"

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Governor Liu Che of Jiliao has been imprisoned. I want to take away Sun Chengzong's position as Governor of Liaodong and let him be Governor of Jiliao. Aiqing is the only one in the cabinet. Man, I want to select a few cabinet bachelors, I wonder if Aiqing has any suitable candidates?"

Liu Yijing was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Emperor Tianqi would let him choose his cabinet ministers, he really trusted him a lot.Giving a salute to Emperor Tianqi, Liu Yijing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there should be five Cabinet Scholars in the cabinet, Mr. Sun is the first and assistant Grand Scholars of the cabinet, and there are ministers. I don't know how many people your Majesty wants to join. Pavilion?"

After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "In this case, we are selecting three people to join the cabinet! After the cabinet ministers are selected, the vacant officials in the court must be filled as soon as possible, otherwise there is no way to do many things!"

"Your Majesty, I think I should take advantage of this opportunity to launch a Beijing inspection, and relegate all those officials who are incompetent, corrupt and perverting the law back to their hometowns. Further distinguish the jurisdiction of the six ministries so that the entire court can give orders!" Liu Yi Jing bowed to Emperor Tianqi, and said in a deep voice.

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Ai Qing really has ambitions in her chest, but I still need to make up for the officials! Next year will be a big move, and the selection of talents is also the top priority of the imperial court. This cannot be delayed. As for I will leave it to Aiqing to handle the matter of the Jingchao until the officials make it up! I hope Aiqing can live up to my trust!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!" At this moment, Liu Yijing's heart was finally relieved, and Emperor Tianqi's trust in him was not just talk.The boredom in his heart was swept away, and Liu Yijing suddenly felt that his heart was full of energy, as if he was many years younger!

"The topic is a bit far away, let's talk about the issue of the cabinet scholar just now! If there is any suitable candidate for Aiqing, just say it!" Seeing Liu Yijing's expression, Emperor Tianqi knew that the old minister had come back to life, and smiled. said.

Slowly nodding his head, Liu Yijing pondered for a while, and said quite seriously: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask if your Majesty wants to recommend ministers in the court, or can you be in the court or in the opposition?"

Looking at Liu Yijing, Emperor Tianqi hesitated and said, "Is there any difference?"

"Under the hood, if you choose in the court, you need to be recommended by important ministers, or directly appointed by your majesty. These candidates are also officials who surpass China. However, in my opinion, there is no minister in the court who is suitable for the cabinet. The six ministers None of them are suitable, and no one is highly respected. There are many ministers who left office for various reasons. Although some were in poor health, most of them were excluded in the court. The minister felt that if he was selected as a cabinet scholar, You can find these people to join the court. Firstly, it can show His Majesty’s meritocracy, and secondly, these people have been officials in the court, and many of them are disciples and former officials all over the world, so it’s much more convenient to do things!” Liu Yijing After thinking about it, he said in a deep voice.

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Aiqing is really thoughtful, it seems that Aiqing is indeed a talented person. If this is the case, then who is suitable for Aiqing?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I know someone, but I don't know whether to say it or not!" Looking at Emperor Tianqi with some hesitation, Liu Yijing said rather awkwardly.

Smiling and patted Liu Yijing's shoulder, Emperor Tianqi said rather relaxedly: "What can I say! I'm that kind of stingy emperor."

"It's Your Majesty. This man's name is Gao Hongtu. He is from a suburban county. He was a Jinshi in the 38th year of Wanli. Although he is still young, he is quite talented, but this man has a very straightforward temper." He looked at Emperor Tianqi with some hesitation, and saw Emperor Tianqi Nodding, Liu Yijing said: "Gao Hongtu was originally a member of Zhongshushe. When Your Majesty first ascended the throne, many people impeached Fang Congzhe for colluding with Li Xuanshi. Gao Hongtu stood up to defend Fang Congzhe. I hope His Majesty will not deal with Fang Congzhe, and the affairs of the harem will not go too far." It’s a lot of publicity. It’s just that Gao Hongtu’s letter was suppressed, and the official department issued an official document to transfer him to Shaanxi. Gao Hongtu was so angry that he hung the seal and returned home!”

Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi sighed softly, Gao Hongtu was disheartened.The powerful officials in the court are in power, and the little emperor has just ascended the throne. He has no ability to turn the tide, and he can't bear to see the chaos in the court.

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Since this is the case, he is one of them, I hope Ai Qing didn't recommend the wrong identification!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am willing to guarantee Gao Hongtu's character and ability with my life!" Liu Yijing said loudly when he saw what Emperor Tianqi said.

"Aiqing, are there any other candidates?" Looking at Liu Yijing with a smile, Emperor Tianqi asked in a deep voice.

After pondering for a while, Liu Yijing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, I will nominate another person, but this person is in the imperial court. His name is Liu Hongxun, and he was originally assigned by the Nanjing Civil Affairs Bureau. Zhang Juzheng was impeached. , He strongly advocated Juzheng's innocence. He defended Zhang Juzheng in a letter, was punished by Emperor Shenzong, and was demoted to the people. In the 41st year of Wanli, Liu Hongxun was admitted to the imperial examination. Regarding Zhang Juzheng’s affairs, Liu Hongxun has always been excluded, and he has always believed that the reform is right. Until now, Liu Hongxun is still an editor of Hanlin.”

Emperor Apocalypse really didn't expect that there would be such a minister in the court who had been unswerving for so many years and was in favor of reform. Such a minister was exactly what he needed.Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Okay, very good! Let him join the cabinet! I will meet him in person in a few days and see what he thinks!"

"Your Majesty, as for the last cabinet minister, I think it's better to let the ministers in the court recommend it! If there is something suitable, Your Majesty is choosing one!" Looking at Emperor Tianqi, Liu Yijing said in a deep voice. (To be continued. You are welcome to come to Qidian () to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
