After a sunny winter, the capital of the Ming Dynasty received a rare heavy snowfall. This timely snowfall did not make people feel the joy of auspicious snow heralding a good harvest. After the snow, it cleared up and the Ming Dynasty was covered with snow

The capital is still shrouded in gloom and gloom.

The majestic and majestic Forbidden City was also suppressed by this atmosphere, and there was no sound at all. The maids and eunuchs who usually shuttled between the various palaces and gardens were all silent and tried to walk as softly as possible.

For fear of alarming the emperor who was immersed in rage, in just a few days, several maids and eunuchs had been beaten to death with sticks. Now even Eunuch Wei, who was red and purple, was killed every day.

I have to walk with my tail between my legs every day.

Just when everyone was silent, the emperor's roar suddenly came from the emperor's carpentry room: "Get out, get out."

As a result, a faint voice answered: "I am the editor of the Daily Notes, and I must record the emperor's every word and deed. This is my responsibility, and the emperor has no control over it."

There was a pause, and then the emperor roared angrily: "Are you tired of following me around like a ghost shadow every day? Do you believe that I will beat you to death right now?"

In the end, the same voice answered calmly: "Four fathers and sons were killed one after another in the Zhou Dynasty, but it still cannot change its responsibility to record the emperor's bad words and deeds. Long live killing me, just to leave my name in history."

As a result, there was a sound of ping-ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong in the room. This was the emperor smashing the work he had worked so hard to create again. He had no choice but to take advantage of the things he loved, and then he took advantage of himself.

A group of domestic slaves lost their temper, and who knew that the palace maid and eunuch would be at gunpoint again.

Sure enough, there was a loud bang on the door, and Tianqi kicked it open, walked out angrily, and stood under the eaves to catch his breath.

Wei Zhongxian trotted up, poked his head into the room, and then whispered to the imperial editor in the room: "My little lord, if you want to leave a name in history, you can't hold the emperor's shit basin in his hands.

On top of my head, you are not loyal to the emperor, you are harming the emperor, you still want to leave your name in history? You are going to be included in the biography of sycophants." Wei Zhongxian is not yet arrogant and domineering to the point of being feared, so when the eunuch saw

When you are a civil servant, you still have to be respectful.

A green-robed official held a pen and paper in his arm and said proudly: "Justice lies in the hearts of the people, and history has its own fair judgment."

Wei Zhongxian now hated this editor who was embarrassing his master. Nowadays, civil servants have begun to develop to the point of morbid arrogance. In order to win the emperor's slap in the face and gain a good reputation as an upright person in Qingliu, they started to

There is no use for anything.

Looking at this guy who stood proudly and didn't care about the emperor or himself at all, Wei Zhongxian secretly swore that in order to one day take over the power, he would first take down you guys who are deceiving the world and stealing your reputation. Then I would like to see your bones.

How hard is it?

But no matter what I think in my heart, it's just a Q-like self-entertainment. Now, I have to get rid of this guy who always makes the emperor's master angry. Otherwise, I can't talk to the emperor anymore.

.

But now the emperor has no choice but to take advantage of these officials due to the ancestral system. Wei Zhongxian's power has not yet reached the arrogance he later had, so both of them have nothing to do with this guy.

But Wei Zhongxian suddenly changed his original plea and whispered to the historian: "Want to win a clear name? Then you have to wait." So he gritted his teeth and pretended to be fierce: "I will ask an old palace maid to identify him now.

If you rape her, you will be charged with causing trouble in the palace." Then he added: "They are all my people here, and I can get a hundred people to testify."

At that time, the historian was completely shocked. After looking around, he saw that they were all eunuchs and palace maids. If he really insisted on it, it would be impossible to leave his name in history, and he would definitely be infamous for thousands of years.

So he said proudly: "Gunshu, I'm ashamed to talk to you." Then he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

Just leave like this? Such a result simply surprised Tianqi and Wei Zhongxian, but thinking about it, they couldn't help laughing. The reason for the laughter was that the two of them finally won a match in front of Qingliu. It seems that compared with these so-called Qingliu,

It's not enough to rely on talk and begging. You still have to rely on nonsense and frame-up.

But in fact, this kind of victory was really nothing to show off. Tianqi sat down on the railing of the corridor eaves and couldn't help but sigh again.

Wei Zhongxian hunched over and approached, softly pleading: "Long live, it's time to go to the palace."

In fact, Tianqi does not go to court, but it refers to the real court meeting. He is already tired of the endless digressions, endless biting and endless boredom of those officials at the court meeting.

But Tianqi is the director of the upper palace, that is, the platform makes the right move, which is still done every day during this period.

The platform is not a platform, but a Jianji Hall. The hall is in the middle and facing back, high above the Sanlin white jade railing. Opposite the Qianqing Gate is the Yuntai Gate, facing the latter on both sides. It is called the rear left gate in the east and the rear right gate in the west.

The gate refers to the left and right gates of Yuntai, also known as "platform". Whenever officials such as cabinet ministers are summoned, or on the platform, it is the back left gate.

Calling the right platform means that we do not need all the officials who came to court inexplicably, but only convene a few officials who need to solve the problem today to directly solve the problem. This is different from the Standing Committee meeting and the National People's Congress meeting in later generations.

As soon as Tianqi heard that he was going to build Ji Palace again to summon the right people, his heart was filled with helplessness.

Although only a few key ministers were summoned in Jianji Palace, and there were less random attacks, the summons at this time also made people really anxious.

Guangning was defeated, and the Ming Dynasty lost the entire Liaodong. Wang Huazhen lost Liaodong, and Xiong Tingbi failed in his duties. Both of them were imprisoned. Now we are facing this mess that needs to be cleaned up. Just because of this replacement candidate, everyone has been quarreling. Not for anyone.

Being in a position of power is about forcing someone to go.

Originally, in the Ming Dynasty, there were only three high-ranking and powerful governors. The governor of Shanxi was the second-largest governor in the world. He was not only in charge of Shanxi, but also in charge of Shaanxi. In addition, he was in charge of the land bordering Shanxi and Shaanxi. He could be said to be the most important minister among the important ministers.

The third is the Governor of Denglai. He is much older than the nominal Governor of Shandong, because he is also the Ming Dynasty Navy stationed in Denglai, and is responsible for preventing the invasion of the capital by the slaves of the Later Jin Dynasty. His jurisdiction is along the coast.

Winding upward, it has extended to the vassal country of Korea.

The first governor is the currently debated Governor of Liaodong, Jinglue. His jurisdiction covers the Liaodong region from outside Shanhaiguan, and also oversees military affairs, and controls Ningqian Bingbei, Guangning, Jin, Yi Bingbei, Jin, and Fu.

, Hai, build troops and prepare, Liaohai and Dongning are divided into four areas, Liaodong Dusi's garrison castle, Anle, Zizai Erzhou, Jianzhou, Maolian, Duoyan, Taining, Fuyu Zhugong City.

Big or not, surprised or not?

According to normal principles, with such a high position of real power, why not fight for scalps?

As a result, now, just now, it has been less than half a month since Wang Huazhen was imprisoned, and no one from the Liaodong governor or Liaodong manager is willing to take him in.

Is this strange? No.

It’s not surprising at all. Now let’s rank the rise of the Ming Dynasty from the Jurchens of the Later Jin Dynasty to the current governor of Liaodong.

Han Qushan, Ding Hai took office in October of the 21st year of Wanli, and was dismissed in May of the 22nd year of Wanli.

Li Hualong took office at Jihai in May of the 22nd year of Wanli, and begged for leave at Renwu in April of the 25th year of Wanli.

Zhang Sizhong, Ji Chou took office in April of the 25th year of Wanli. In April of the 25th year of Wanli, Xin Wei was killed in battle by Li Rusong, so he resigned.

Li Zhi, Gengzi took office in May of the twenty-fifth year of Wanli. In the twenty-eighth year of Wanli, he was dismissed as an official.

Zhao Ji, Wushen took office in June of the 28th year of Wanli and was imprisoned in the 36th year of Wanli.

Zhang Ti took office in July Yiyou of the thirty-sixth year of Wanli and died in Xinsi in August.

Li Bing, Yi did not take office in September of the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, and he stopped in February of the thirty-eighth year.

Yang Gao, Guichou took office in the leap month of the thirty-eighth year of Wanli. He was unable to hold office and was impeached. In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, he was dismissed.

Zhang Tao took office in December of the 40th year of Wanli and ended in the 41st year of Wanli.

Guo Guangfu, Renyin took office in November of the 41st year of Wanli, and died in office in the 44th year of Wanli.

Li Weihan, Bingyin took office in February of the 44th year of Wanli, and resigned to serve the people in the 46th year of Wanli

Yang Gao, Renzi took office in May of the 46th year of Wanli. On Wuchen in August of the 46th year of Wanli, he was defeated in the Battle of Sarhu and was imprisoned and executed.

Zhou Yongchun took office in Wuchen in August of the 46th year of Wanli, and Bingxu and Dingyou in September of the first year of Taichang.

Yuan Yingtai took office in September of the first year of Taichang, and committed suicide by self-immolation on Bingwu in October of the first year of Taichang.

Xue Guoyong, Guichou took office in October of the first year of Taichang, and Jihai in April of the first year of Tianqi, changed the Liaodong economic strategy. There are different opinions on the cause of death.

Wang Huazhen, Bingzi in April of the first year of Tianqi, is now in prison.

Look, this is the case now. Nurhachi has become the governor of Liaodong and is destroyed. Whoever is against him will be unlucky, so where will anyone go? It is true that he has high position and power, but if he loses his life, then everything is lost.

Others have been promoted and made a fortune, and at least they have a safe wife and children, but if they become Liaodong manager or governor, they will either be killed by Hou Jin or commit suicide.

), the best outcome is to be relieved of duty and return home to farm. The originally bright future of the six ministers, ministers of the cabinet, and even the name of the chief minister of the cabinet will go down in history. In future generations, they will have to bear the burden of being incompetent and harming the country.

He was reviled and became the laughing stock of the world.

There is no benefit of promotion and wealth, which is what people pursue when they are born; there is no reputation of being famous in history, which is what scholars and scholar-bureaucrats pursue, but when it comes to the Liaodong strategy, there is neither, not only no, but also life.

Danger.

Traveling thousands of miles to Liaodong, risking your life, seeking neither fame nor profit, and not benefiting yourself but only benefiting others, what kind of spirit is this? Is it the spirit of two fools?
