I am the carpenter king

Chapter 43 Officials

Seeing Wang An standing up again, Emperor Tianqi could only wave his hand to let him sit down and talk. Seeing that he was done again, he said slowly: "This person is called Xu Guangqi. I wonder if my father-in-law has heard of it?" ?”

After hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Wang An immediately recalled the name in his mind. Although he thought the name was familiar, he couldn't remember it.

When Wang An was thinking hard, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but recall Xu Guangqi in history. He was a very famous person in the late Ming Dynasty.In the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, Xu Guangqi's role is much greater than that of Yuan Chonghuan.Because he has many more titles than Yuan Chonghuan. He is a famous mathematician, scientist, agronomist, military strategist, and politician in history.

These titles alone can tell what kind of talent he is. It’s just that the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty was serious and the bureaucracy was incompetent. year.Xu Guangqi died in Chongzhen five years ago. According to the course of history, this talent still has 12 years to live.There are too many things that can be done in the past 12 years, and the current situation of Daming without Wei Zhongxian's ravages is much better than that of the Chongzhen period!

"Get up and go to the Ministry of Officials." Seeing that Wang An was still thinking hard, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It seems that if he wants to find Xu Guangqi, he should go to the Ministry of Officials!

Seeing Emperor Tianqi getting up and saying that he was going to the Ministry of Officials, Wang An knelt down with a wry smile and said, "This old servant is useless, and His Majesty has been disappointed."

Emperor Tianqi walked to Wang An's side, gently helped him up, and said with a smile: "What did you say, my father-in-law? This time it's my fault. I'm sorry for my father-in-law." In fact, Emperor Tianqi was not so concerned about this old eunuch. I like it, but I have to pet him.

Firstly, because Wang An's character is good, the two want to stabilize the courtiers.The system of the Ming Dynasty was divided into internal and external ministers.Wang An is now the eunuch in charge of the ceremony supervisor, and is usually called the inner minister.

There are countless eunuchs in the palace, and there are countless people who are jealous of this position. Although there is no Wei Zhongxian, it is not impossible to have another Li Zhongxian.The Emperor Tianqi will tell everyone that he likes Wang An and reuses Wang An. His position is very stable.Emperor Apocalypse knew a little about the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty. When you were powerful and powerful, these people would try their best to curry favor with you, and when you lost power, these people would be the most ruthless.

Although these eunuchs are very submissive in front of Emperor Tianqi on weekdays, he knows that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.It is also very troublesome for these eunuchs to fight.Emperor Tianqi wants to tell them in this way that it is not your turn to do things well in this position!

This method seems to be very effective at this time. Although the Wei Dynasty has the most vicious reputation and Chen Hong is the most favored, no one dares to challenge Wang An's authority.

Regarding Emperor Tianqi's thoughts, this old eunuch who was well versed in officialdom could also understand, but neither of the two said anything about it.Emperor Tianqi naturally seemed to favor Wang An very much, and Wang An was naturally very grateful.

After comforting Wang An, Emperor Tianqi left the palace to go to the Ministry of Officials. Regarding the thoughts in his mind, he had already thought of some implementation steps.It's just that Emperor Tianqi didn't know much about it, but a talent like Xu Guangqi must be obtained.

The Ministry of Officials is located on the east side of the gate of the Forbidden City, which is the east side of the Imperial Square in later generations, but the former site of the Ministry of Officials is no longer there for some historical reasons.

Standing in front of the gate of the Ministry of Officials, Emperor Tianqi was filled with emotion, because this yamen is really too dilapidated.The majestic stone lion at the entrance has turned into a cat without claws.The vermilion lacquer gate has lost much paint, and the bronze door knocker is also missing.The glazed tiles on the gate tower are also missing one piece, and the remaining glazed tiles are also broken and incomplete.

Looking at such a yamen, Emperor Tianqi really didn't know what to say.In later generations, many countries used the dilapidated office buildings of the government departments to show the integrity of the government, but when Emperor Tianqi saw this gate tower, he thought he was mocking himself no matter what.Because in such a yamen lived a group of moths from the Ming Dynasty, and it was these people who sucked up the blood of the Ming Dynasty, and in the end they could only wait to die.

Seeing Emperor Tianqi standing still in front of the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, the people behind Emperor Tianqi all looked at each other in blank dismay.Because it was not far from the Forbidden City, there were not many people around Emperor Tianqi, except for Chen Hong and Wang An, there was only a team of imperial guards.

Emperor Tianqi looked at the yamen of the Ministry of Officials in a daze, and Chen Hong began to think that the emperor had never seen such a dilapidated yamen, and he was just curious.But when he saw Emperor Tianqi's face getting darker and darker, he knew that things might not be that simple.

Although he didn't follow Emperor Tianqi for a long time, Chen Hong knew in his heart that this master's heart was full of gaps, and he was definitely not a simple person.Perhaps this master, who inherited the blood of the great ancestor, has lofty ambitions in his heart!

"Your Majesty, shall we go in?" Seeing that everyone around was looking at his group, Chen Hong came to Emperor Tianqi's side and said bravely.

Because of Emperor Tianqi's insistence, this group of people were all dressed in casual clothes, only then did they realize that everyone around them was looking at them.Emperor Tianqi said to Chen Hong beside him, "Go in!"

Although he is very dissatisfied with the current administration of officials, now is not the time for rectification. Emperor Tianqi secretly made up his mind, but his face remained calm.

At this time, the Minister of Rites was Li Ruhua, a general of the Chu Party, and it was this person who proposed the addition.Of course, it was only an additional levy in Liaodong, and all the money and food collected were used for military pay in Liaodong.In fact, although such a heavy expedition temporarily stabilized Liaodong and provided logistical support for Yuan Chonghuan's troops later, the people of Liaodong became more and more exhausted and their livelihoods withered.

Emperor Tianqi didn't have a good opinion of this person, and of course he didn't dislike him. He just knew that he was an official with no vision.However, Emperor Tianqi would not care too much about him, because this person was about to die.According to historical records, this Li Ruhua will resign soon and will die next year.For such a person who is about to die, Emperor Tianqi can still reserve some tolerance.

After waiting at the door for a short time, the person who went in to report came back, followed by Li Ruhua, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and some officials of the Ministry of Officials.

Seeing Emperor Tianqi Li Ruhua standing at the door, he was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Emperor Tianqi to come.Ever since Emperor Zhengde, the emperor rarely left the palace, and he did not expect that the newly enthroned emperor would come to the Ministry of Officials at this time.It's just that the person who just notified him said that he was from the palace, and didn't say that Emperor Tianqi was here. Before he had time to think about it, Li Ruhua hurriedly came to Emperor Tianqi's side and was about to kneel down.
