I am the carpenter king

Chapter 67 Sun Chengzong

() Ignoring the angry eyes of the Donglin party members, Yang He pondered for a moment, and then said: "I do not approve of Ye Xianggao being appointed as the chief assistant of the cabinet. Ye Xianggao was forced to do so because of his inability to govern the court. Please resign. This person is not capable enough to be the chief minister of the cabinet, and I have a suitable candidate." Yang He's voice was so loud that everyone present was stunned.Everyone didn't wake up to the fact that Mr. Yang would be uncharacteristically arguing with the Donglin Party.

"Yang Aiqing, who is it? Tell me." Emperor Tianqi ignored the expressions of the ministers, but looked at Yang He expectantly, as if full of curiosity about the person Yang He was talking about.

Yang He glanced at Emperor Tianqi above, and then said: "The minister recommended Sun Chengzong, the editor of Hanlin, to join the cabinet. Sun Chengzong was born as a Jinshi and was in the Hanlin. He had let go of foreign appointments. He was also the teacher of the late emperor. He is a very suitable candidate, so I recommend Sun Chengzong, editor of Hanlin, to join the cabinet."

After Yang He finished speaking, he stood back, but the hall fell into a brief silence. All the ministers looked at each other, but no one spoke.The faces of the members of the Donglin Party also changed drastically at this time. What Yang He said just now was Ye Xianggao's weakness.

These Donglin party members thought that after Fang Congzhe's incident, no one from the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties would stand up to oppose it, and other ministers were not within their consideration.Now that Yang He, the imperial censor of Zuodu, stood up, the situation would be quite different. These people from the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties would definitely not miss this opportunity.For them, as long as it is not a member of the Donglin Party as the chief assistant, it is already good and cannot be better.

"I feel that Master Yang's words are reasonable, and I second my opinion." After one person stood up, many people stood up immediately.In addition to the officials of the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties, there are also some neutral officials.At this time, they saw the hope of gaining power. Once Sun Chengzong became a cabinet scholar, the person who will be reused must not be a member of the Qi, Zhejiang, Chu and Donglin parties.

It's not that these neutral officials have no desire for power, it's just that they haven't had their own party for so many years.The Donglin Party is based on Donglin Academy, so it is difficult for outsiders to get in.As for the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties, they are divided by region, and are more xenophobic than the Donglin party, so it is obviously impossible to accept them.

But at this moment, these people saw hope. Led by the teacher of the late emperor and assisted by Yang He, the censor of Zuodu, there seemed to be a new force rising in the imperial court.For these neutral officials, there is definitely a great attraction, even if you don't join, it's better not to offend.What's more, the Donglin Party and the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party also squeezed these officials a lot, and they are not welcome to see them on weekdays. Now that they have the opportunity to step on them, these people will naturally not let them go.

After pondering for a while, most of the officials in the court supported Sun Chengzong, only these people from the Donglin Party looked at each other in blank dismay.At this time, these people seemed to feel that something was wrong, but they didn't know what was wrong, so they couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

"Since all the lovers are unanimous, then this matter is settled! And since Sun Chengzong is the teacher of the late emperor, his knowledge should not be bad, so! Give him the title of emperor's teacher, and come in when he is free. The palace taught me to read." Emperor Tianqi ignored the ugly Donglin party members, and settled the matter like this, and he had better say something that seemed to be unscrupulous, but it made most of the ministers In my heart.

The first minister of the cabinet, the imperial teacher, these two words reminded them of a person, the same first minister of the cabinet, the same imperial teacher, that person was the Jiangling minister, the grand master Zhang Juzheng.

When Zhang Juzheng was in power, he worked hard to reform the bad government and implement the new policy. The Donglin Party, which had not yet formed in the court, had almost no place to stand.The Gu Xiancheng who founded Donglin Academy was driven back home, so he could only establish Donglin Academy.

People from the Donglin Party looked like they were dead, but the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party and those neutral officials were happy, and the relationship between the two factions seemed to have improved a lot.It seemed that these two groups of people had formed an alliance quietly.

It's just that everyone was a little puzzled when they looked at Yang He. This Master Yang usually doesn't show his mountains and dews, but he didn't expect such a trick to come at a critical moment.This method is also really extraordinary, it can be said that it hits the target with one blow.

Speaking of Yang He, this person is not very well-known in history. The end of Ming Dynasty was an era of talents, and Yang He's talent was not highlighted in this era.This man was a good official, but he didn't know anything about military affairs. Later, a peasant uprising broke out in Shaanxi.This Lord Yang insisted on appeasement, and he always had this attitude when dealing with the Mongols, Tatars, and later Hou Jin.

A large part of Yang He's reputation comes from his son, who later became Yang Sichang.Yang Sichang was much more capable than his father Yang He. He once fought against the rebellion with Xiong Wencan in Shaanxi, defeating Luo Rucai, Li Zicheng and others at that time.It was only later that due to a mistake in decision-making, there was no further pursuit and suppression of the peasant army, which caused Li Zicheng and others to recover their vitality, and finally the Ming Dynasty led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

The father and son are both talented and loyal people, but they are not the ones who can take charge of the overall situation.

The straw hat alley in the capital is known to everyone. It is the residence of most of the officials in the capital, with towers, palaces, rockeries and lakes.In the alley not far from Maoer Hutong, there are three houses that look very inconspicuous.It is no different from ordinary residents, the tiles on the roof have fallen off, and hay is stuffed in many places.

There are no majestic stone lions at the door, only two crooked willows, which also look very solemn.The gate is not a vermilion gate, but a loquat fence. It is hard to imagine such a dilapidated house in such an area where high-ranking officials and nobles live.

"Master Sun, are you at home?" There is no one at the gate on weekdays, but today a group of people came, with fresh clothes and angry horses, servants like a cloud, and they were all wearing official uniforms, one could tell they were high officials from the court .

The one who came out to open the door was an old man who didn't look very old. He was wearing coarse clothes and a pair of straw sandals on his feet. There was still a lot of dirt at this time.The coarse trouser legs were rolled up high, as if he had just been working in the field, and the dust on his body hadn't had time to be swept away.Seeing these people at the door, the old man was obviously taken aback, but he also walked slowly to the door and opened the gate.

"It turned out to be Lord Yang. I don't know what's going on with Master Yang here?" The old man didn't seem to want to let these people in. He just stood at the door and looked at the people outside, and nodded with Yang He who was standing at the door. .
