Seeing the old servant hand over the things to Xu Guangqi, Zhou Zhenglong's heart immediately returned to his stomach, and he said, "Old Mr. Xu, this way! I'd better wait outside! Call me if you need anything." Zhou Zhenglong knew the seriousness of the matter, Master Luo personally entrusted it to him and repeatedly told him to keep it secret, obviously it was an extremely confidential matter, and he didn't want to be wiped out as soon as he returned to the capital.

"Zhou Qianhu is still here to stay! A gentleman can speak to others, the old man is upright, and there is nothing he can't see." Xu Guangqi has lived a life of ups and downs in the official world, and he can naturally see Zhou Zhenglong's thoughts, but he will never let this People hide out, and sometimes only those who share a common secret are reliable.

Seeing Xu Guangqi's smile, Zhou Zhenglong knew he couldn't leave.Although this old Mr. Xu said so openly and aboveboard, he was very secretive in his actions, absolutely scheming, no, he was a veteran and cunning.

Gently opened the wooden box, revealing the contents inside, the three of them were stunned after seeing these three items.It was a yellow scroll, and the golden silk was very dazzling in the sun.But what is more eye-catching are the two words on the scroll, imperial decree.

After seeing this thing, Xu Guangqi's body trembled suddenly, he quickly knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "My minister, Xu Guangqi, sees my emperor, long live, long live, long live." After a long time, he slowly stood up .Of course there was also Zhou Zhenglong who was kneeling behind him, at this moment Zhou Zhenglong finally let go of his heart, that was an imperial decree!Going back this time is a great achievement, and maybe he can become the official of Jin Yiwei again!

With trembling hands, he took out the imperial decree and opened it slowly, but Xu Guangqi turned his attention to Zhou Zhenglong who was standing behind him.He said solemnly: "Zhou Qianhu, you brought this imperial decree, besides, it is reasonable for you to read it as the emperor's personal army."

Hearing Xu Guangqi's huh, Zhou Yinglong immediately shook his head like a rattle, pondered for a while and said, "Old Mr. Xu was just joking. Since His Majesty keeps it so secret, it can be seen that the contents of the imperial decree cannot be circulated. The old man should read it for himself! I think His Majesty is also like this." mean."

After pondering for a while, Xu Guangqi also figured out this joint, nodded slowly, opened the scroll with a serious face, and looked down.

What disappointed Xu Guangqi was that the imperial decree didn't say anything, only that he was asked to follow the visitor to Beijing immediately after receiving the imperial decree.

History of Ming Dynasty, Benji of Apocalypse.

The first year of Taichang, March. (October 1620) Emperor Tianqi secretly summoned Xu Guangqi to Beijing. This matter was extremely confidential and few people knew about it.After Xu Guangqi entered Beijing, his whereabouts were unknown.

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a branch. While Xu Guangqi over there was preparing to enter Beijing, Emperor Tianqi was worried.On the second day after Emperor Tianqi left the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, he indeed received the resignation letter from Li Ruhua, Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Without much hesitation, Emperor Tianqi agreed.The next step is to appoint a new Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but at this time Emperor Tianqi does not have a suitable candidate in his heart. On this day, Emperor Tianqi threw this issue to the ministers.

"If you have something to play early, if you have nothing to go back to the court."

With Chen Hong's familiar shout, a new day began again.

"Li Ruhua, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, handed me his resignation letter yesterday. Although I was reluctant to give it up, I felt sorry for his old age and frailty, so I had to accept it. But the Ministry of Officials cannot do without someone in charge. I don't know if all the lovers are suitable. Candidates?" As soon as he came to court, Emperor Tianqi raised this question, wanting to see what my ministers would say.This can also be regarded as a test of Emperor Tianqi, to see what the struggle between these civil servants is like.

After listening to Emperor Tianqi's words, the following fell into a brief silence, and many ministers suddenly realized that this matter was not so simple.Many people have already gotten wind that Emperor Tianqi went to the Ministry of Officials two days ago, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has retired in just two days.Many people realize that this matter is not that simple, but for these people, it doesn't matter who takes over.

Members of the various parties all set their sights on their respective leaders, and the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties were naturally the Chief Assistant Minister Fang Congzhe at this time.Li Ruhua was originally a member of the Chu Party. If someone from the Chu Party cannot be succeeded this time, it will undoubtedly be a great loss for them.

Compared with the uneasiness in the hearts of the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties, the members of the Donglin party were secretly excited. If they could win this time as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, then the Donglin party could do a lot.Just being able to arrange officials of the Donglin Party more conveniently made these officials very excited.At this time, their eyes were all on Yang Lian, who was involved in the military affairs. Since the last incident, Yang Lian had faintly become the leader of the Dongling Party in the court.

Watching the ministers below exchange glances with each other, Emperor Tianqi sighed in his heart. The first thing these people think of is not to promote talents, but to strive for the best interests of their party.Such disregard of national interests can be said to be the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty, the sorrow of an era, the sorrow of the Chinese nation, and the sorrow of the entire history.

"The minister has his own play." Just when Emperor Tianqi was thinking wildly, a person suddenly stood up, and after a glance, he was not familiar with him, and he didn't seem to be someone in an important position.At the beginning of the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty, it was all insignificant people who came to the court to test the emperor's reaction. If the emperor did not have any extreme reactions, then it was time to press hard.

Looking back at Chen Hong, Chen Hong naturally understood what Emperor Tianqi meant, and whispered in Emperor Tianqi's ear: "This is Chen Qi, a member of the Donglin Party." Although the reference room is still under construction, it has achieved preliminary results. The person in charge of these materials is Chen Hong, the new and favored eunuch who follows Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi nodded expressionlessly, and said calmly: "Since Chen Aiqing has something to say, let's say it! Daming has nothing to block the way of speech."

"My minister recommends Zhou Jiamo, Shangshu of the Nanjing Household Department, as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials." Chen Qi couldn't help saying loudly when he saw that Emperor Tianqi asked him to speak.

Zhou Jiamo was one of the thirteen Gu Ming ministers. Although he held the title of Minister of the Nanjing Household Department, he was in the capital at this time, and of course he was also in the hall.There are still very positive comments on this Zhou Jiamo in history. At that time, the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty was very serious, and the promotion of officials could not be decided by the official department.Until this Master Zhou became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he selected talents to appoint talents, but in the end he failed because his power was too small.Later, he was driven away by Wei Zhongxian, and finally killed by Wei Zhongxian.
