"Mr. Zhang, Your Majesty has issued an edict to summon talents and two examination questions, and has already issued an edict to the world."
Yao Zongwen, the director of the Ministry of War, came into the main hall with a notice.
Zhang Heming, the Minister of War, looked at a memorial and replied without raising his head:
"I already knew this!"
"Since Mr. Zhang knew it a long time ago, why didn't he stop His Majesty? Your Majesty's move is really treating us and other officials of the Ministry of War as nothing!"
Yao Zongwen wandered around the duty room angrily. This was really a slap in the face. Everyone in the Ministry of War knew the military, and there were countless officials in the DPRK. His Majesty actually ignored them and issued an order to seek talents, and also issued two such sensitive words.
Exam questions.
Zhang Heming put down the memorial in his hand and replied calmly:
"Stop it? How to stop it? Your Majesty trusts the factory guards, especially Wei Zhongxian. Mr. Liu got the news that the reason why Your Majesty issued this summons order this time was Wei Zhongxian's idea."
Yao Zongwen asked doubtfully:
"Who is Wei Zhongxian?"
And Zhang Heming said bitterly:
"Wei Zhongxian is the current governor of Dongchang. He has been in contact with the three gangs of Fang thieves since he was a young eunuch. The enemy of Wei Zhongxian is His Majesty's wet nurse, Hakka. Fang thieves took the initiative to contact Wei Zhongxian because of this identity.
Let Wei Zhongxian speak to His Majesty through the Hakka family."
"On the day of the meeting, His Majesty was bewitched by the Hakka family. The list was handed over to Wei Zhongxian by Fang Thief, and Wei Zhongxian handed it over to Xu Xianchun, and the Hakka family fanned the flames, which led to the tragic death of all colleagues."
"Then we waited in the court that day to impeach Thief Fang. The reason why Thief Fang didn't say a word was because he had expected it, and he joined forces with Wei Zhongxian and Hakka to confuse His Majesty and confuse right and wrong. This was exactly what he wanted to do.
Die together with me and Donglin Qingliu!"
Yao Zongwen finally understood. No wonder His Majesty seemed to have changed into a different person after he ascended the throne. He did not discuss everything with the Da Shens. It turned out that it was the Hakka Yu Wei Zhongxian who was causing trouble.
And that thief was also very abominable. He had come up with such vicious schemes. He would rather not be an official than perish together with Zuo Gong and others.
"Then the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian are now in control of the government?"
Zhang Heming sighed again:
"Who says it's not the case? I heard that His Majesty has doted on the Hakka family since he came to the throne. He drinks the soup cooked by the Hakka family every day, and the Hakka family travels with him every day. He goes wherever His Majesty goes, and when he gets up and goes to bed, he
She comes to serve."
Yao Zongwen was so shocked. This was even more terrifying than Emperor Shenzong doting on Concubine Zheng alone.
"Mr. Zhang, if this continues, won't our Ming Dynasty have a second Concubine Wan Gui?"
Concubine Wan Gui was the favored concubine of Emperor Xianzong and the wet nurse of Emperor Xianzong. She was nearly twenty years older. Moreover, after Concubine Wan Gui died, Emperor Xianzong was so sad that he became seriously ill and soon followed Concubine Wan Gui.
.
"Mr. Zhang, we must do something. We cannot let this Hakka become the second Wan Guifei. Otherwise, wouldn't we be the sinners of the Ming Dynasty?"
Yao Zongwen must be nervous. His Majesty has only been on the throne for three months, and the Hakka family and Wei Zhongxian are almost covering the sky with one hand. After another three months, will they still have a way to survive?
"I have discussed this matter with the cabinet ministers, Liu Gong, Han Gong, and five other ministers. Liu Gong and the others unanimously suggested that the Hakka family should be ignored for now. Now we need to organize the righteous people in the world to speak together and remove the factory guards first, otherwise
I'm just waiting for the wolf to enter the tiger's mouth!"
"Then Wei Zhongxian is just using the factory guards as his minions. As long as his minions are eliminated, I will wait together to persuade His Majesty to drive the Hakka family out of the palace. Wei Zhongxian is nothing more than a dog."
Yao Zongwen became curious upon hearing this and asked:
"Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhang Heming walked to Yao Zongwen and whispered:
"Now we have mobilized the Qingliu people in Jiangnan, led by Qian Qianyi, to publicize the brutal behavior of the factory guards. Now most of the students and gentry in Jiangnan have stood with us, and most of them support us in abolishing the factory guards and driving away the Hakkas. , kill Wei Zhongxian!"
"Now we just have to wait for Jiangnan's joint blood letter to arrive in Beijing. At that time, we will personally go to the palace to present the joint blood letter to His Majesty. We will explain to His Majesty Wei Zhongxian's actions that have brought disaster to the country and see if Wei Zhongxian dies!"
After hearing this, Yao Zongwen said with a smile on his face:
"You are worthy of being an important minister of the country. This plan is very quick."
Then he said viciously:
"After the Hakka family is driven out of the palace, we still have to send her with Wei Zhongxian. Otherwise, how can Qingliu, who we shed blood for, rest in peace?"
"Yes, there is also Xu Xianchun, a good person who doesn't want to be a dog, but wants to be a dog for that eunuch. The owner is dead, so why should the dog not go with the owner?"
After saying that, the two of them laughed in the room.
After listening to Sun Yunhe's report, Zhu Youxiao from the imperial palace also laughed.
It seems that my careful arrangements during this period were not in vain.
Naturally, Wei Zhongxian's incident was false news that he deliberately released. After all, Wei Zhongxian was born with a good pot, wouldn't it be a waste if he didn't use it?
I didn't expect those civil servants to fall into his trap so easily. The situation is now completely in my hands. Those civil servants are no different from blind and deaf people. How can they play with me?
Now all he needs to do is let Wei Zhongxian out to bite those civil servants and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai. This will give him enough time to deal with other things.
He really doesn't want to waste time with those idiots who talk about benevolence, justice and morality. In his eyes, those civil servants are just mobile warehouses. When he is short of money, he can just send someone to get it. Others will bear the blame, and he only needs to Just wait for the money to be deposited into the warehouse.
"I understand. You have done a good job in this matter. I will continue to maintain it in the future. I want to know at all times what those civil servants do and say every day. Wang Banban, take him to receive a thousand taels of silver reward from his internal funds. You and I Let your subordinates divide it up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Tongzhou
A scholar in white was about to enter the city, but he saw the notice at the gate of the city was bustling. He went up to take a look out of curiosity. He squeezed to the front row with difficulty and looked at the notice on the wall. He saw three eye-catching characters on it: "Zhao Xian" "Order", there are two policy questions below, namely:
"How can we put an end to the slave trouble in Liaodong?"
"Why did the Ming Dynasty fail miserably in the Battle of Saarhu?"
What follows is:
"Anyone with talent can go to Beijing three days before New Year's Eve and submit their answers to Beizhen Fusi. Those who pass the test can enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and be granted an official position by His Majesty!"
The scholar's eyes lit up after reading this. He glanced in the direction of the capital, tightened his baggage, and made up his mind. He quickened his pace and hurried into the city. He felt that his opportunity had come, and headed all the way in the direction of the capital. go.
A few years later, he was admired by all the military strategists of the Ming Dynasty and called him the white-robed counselor of Emperor Tianqi.
