Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 88 Yuan Chonghuan

Shi Kefa, who had just finished the first round of the examination, came to Caishikou to watch his execution like other candidates. He saw that the well-known scholars who used to be well-known among scholars are now dead souls under the knife.

Shi Kefa, who always took them as an example, found it difficult to accept it in his heart, and couldn't help but said to the older-looking humanity beside him:

"Yuan Gong, His Royal Highness Xin Wang has always been known as a wise man, why is he now helping the emperor to be a tyrant and beheading these loyal people?" The elder Shi Kefa asked was Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Liaodong.

Yuan Chonghuan has passed his forties at this time, and he looks very energetic, wearing a Fan Yangli on his head, stroking his beard under his jaw: "Xianzhi (Shi Kefa's word Xianzhi), let me ask you, do you believe in the king today?" Brother of His Highness?"

Shi Kefa nodded.

"Since it is, then these so-called loyal people intend to harm the emperor, are they considered loyal people?" Yuan Chonghuan asked.

Shi Kefa couldn't help arguing: "However, they are all because His Majesty is stupid now, and they want to recruit other talents for the great Ming Dynasty!"

"But they really did treason! You have to admit that no matter whether your majesty is wise or not, he is still a king. A minister can admonish him, or even scold him like Hai Gangfeng, but not the other way around. , Now these former colleagues have violated the rules of loyalty to the emperor even though they are selfless, so they are guilty!"

Yuan Chonghuan would not have thought that he would end up like this in another period of history at this time, and the punishment he faced was the same as that of Ning Wanwo.

"Even if they are guilty, they are not guilty of death. Since ancient times, they have not been punished by doctors. It must be the treacherous people in the court who slandered and made His Majesty do this cruelly." A member of the Donglin Party who is known as a thief, and subconsciously blames the culprit on other forces.

"Whether there are treacherous or sycophants in the court, don't draw conclusions lightly. Just like whether your majesty is stupid today, it can only be judged by later generations. It is the duty of a minister to do a good job as a minister. These people are too radical, even If you want to kill His Majesty Mou Tu, you will kill them if you are alone, because it is either you die or I live above the court. You have not yet entered an official position, and you will know this when you become an official in the future. The stakes are great, but with your character, it's better not to stay in the capital."

Shi Kefa benefited greatly from Yuan Chonghuan's words. He couldn't help but bowed his hands to Yuan Chonghuan, and asked, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your suggestion. Xianzhi has learned the lesson. He also knows that Mr. Yuan is concerned about the Liaodong War, but the students believe that when Li Zhongyun and His Majesty see If your Ping Liao policy is disabled, you must reactivate yours."

Yuan Chonghuan nodded. He was originally a member of the Donglin Party and had a withdrawn personality. Therefore, there is no one in the court as an Olympic aid. The only mentor, Sun Chengzong, has been transferred to another post. Fortunately, Li Mingrui came from the same school as him. If he wants to To let my painstaking work be heard by Datian, I can only follow Li Mingrui's path.

However, even though he was also a student of Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, who had a great reputation in the past, didn't notice Li Mingrui. Li Mingrui had visited him many times, and he refused them all with excuses, but now he had to change and asked to see Li Mingrui himself.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chonghuan also had mixed feelings in his heart, and he was not even interested in watching the punishment, so he couldn't help but said: "Let's go, go find a teahouse to have a rest first, I won't be able to finish it in a while, and I'll come back later." Just order the boy to buy a few pieces of meat."

……

Today is the day of going to court. Although Zhu Youxiao has re-established his absolute prestige among the courtiers, in order to let the officials see that Zhu Youxiao is working hard to govern, when it is time to go to court, Zhu Youxiao will still attend.

Although the court is more a symbol of etiquette and a performance of the king's diligence, it will also perform affairs and handle some government affairs.

And this court meeting, there is actually only one thing to do, which is to promote the cabinet scholars. Since the series of political turmoil in the seventh year of the apocalypse, there are not many on-duty bachelors left in the cabinet.

Therefore, what the ministers urgently want now is to be able to enter a few more bachelors. This is the pursuit of civil servants for a lifetime. As the emperor Zhu Youxiao, he has no intention of hindering them from realizing their life goals.

Moreover, due to the eradication of the scourge of the party, the relationship between the monarch and his ministers has not been very harmonious. In order to repair the relationship between the monarch and his ministers and win over most of the courtiers, Zhu Youxiao even deliberately asked for a few more new cabinet scholars.

Anyway, now the power center of the empire has been concentrated in the Xinuang Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace. If you don't join the Xinuang Pavilion, even a cabinet scholar can't participate in the core affairs of the empire.

Therefore, it has no effect on Zhu Youxiao's imperial power. If there are more bachelors, it is better to restrain each other.

Standing in the middle of the group of officials, the third-rank official, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Qianyi, who was not too far ahead, already looked a little girly, but now that she has no descendants, she looks even more feminine, and her lips are even redder. I don't know if it was wiped on purpose, but this doesn't affect him being the number one candidate for the cabinet bachelor.

"Qian Qianyi, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, got seven red beans and two black beans. If that's the case, he is allowed to enter the cabinet to pre-order maintenance, pay homage to Dongge University scholar, and be promoted to Minister of Rites."

After Zhu Youxiao said, Qian Qianyi hurriedly thanked him, and at the same time, Wei Guangwei, the chief minister of the cabinet, took the opportunity to recommend Li Mingrui as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites to make up for Qian Qianyi's deficiency, and Zhu Youxiao also agreed.

However, Li Mingrui took out a fold from his sleeve after thanking him for his kindness: "Your Majesty, I have something to report. Yuan Chonghuan, the former governor of Liaodong, asked me to present a volume of Liao policy. Your Majesty, please read it."

Ping Liao policy?Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, and thought to himself: "This restless Yuan Chonghuan still couldn't stand his loneliness, and he still offered a plan to pacify the Liao Dynasty, but I can't really believe that he can pacify the Liao Dynasty in five years like the Chongzhen in history. , and also gave him the Shangfang sword, which caused Mao Wenlong to die in his hands, and the situation in Liaodong became more and more critical. Even in the second year of Chongzhen, the Manchu Manchus surrounded the capital. Although Yuan Chonghuan was subdued by Chongzhen, he had to admit , this Yuan Chonghuan is a person who speaks loudly but does unreliable things and entraps himself."

"Bring it here", Zhu Youjian said, and Xiao Huangmen handed over Li Mingrui's booklet, and the first thing Zhu Youxiao looked at after receiving it was: the word "five years".

"It's full of scholarly opinions!"

Zhu Youjian glanced at it briefly, and was a little dissatisfied. He threw the notebook and said: "Tell Yuan Chonghuan that it is not his turn to give advice on major affairs in the court. Don't think that I don't know what he is thinking. He wants to control Liaodong." Iron cavalry, hmph, is it possible that he still wants to swallow more money from me? If he really has the determination to serve Daming and kill the Tartars, now Jianlu is attacking our affiliated North Korea, and the Li family has sent people to ask for help several times. There is no way to support them, so I can give him [-] soldiers to support North Korea."
