The identity of Wang Hongyu and Marquis Dingyuan remains secret for the time being.
In addition, Qi Jin was also from Dingyuan. Qi Jin's three sons, Qi Yuangong, Qi Yuanfu, and Qi Yuanbi, had already settled in Dingyuan. From this point on, different from history, they would follow Dingyuan Marquis Wang Hongyu and inherit their father's war.
The imperial court distributed 300,000 taels of silver from the household department and 300,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury as rewards to appease the refugees and ordered Xiong Tingbi and Wang Huazhen to prepare for war.
At this time, the Ministry of Finance really had no more money, and the inner treasury also directly took out 1.1 million taels, leaving almost nothing left.
Having issued the edict to sin and paid out so much money, it seemed that Zhu Youxiao was the worst off, but that was not the case.
Let me tell you something, Tianqi was not actually damaged, but the Donglin Party was basically ruined.
Issuing an imperial edict, taking the responsibility on oneself, not publicly punishing Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and others, being frank and frank, seems to be completely against the rules of officialdom, but who calls Tianqi the emperor?
First of all, it will not have any impact on the throne. In the world, only the younger brother Xinwang Zhu Youjian has some qualifications. King Xin has a friendly relationship with him and cannot pose a threat at this time.
After issuing an edict to sin, people sometimes remember the result rather than the process. They will only remember that the emperor admitted his mistake in the end. But what mistakes can a young emperor who has only been in power for half a year and has no power in his hands make?
There is only one answer, and it’s the wrong person.
Who used the wrong one?
Donglin Party.
This trick is actually a poor sell.
By committing misfortune, the Donglin Party was unjust. The Donglin elders shamelessly made mistakes, bullied the young people, and even forced the young emperor to issue edicts to punish himself.
Let the world see, is this still a human being?
This suddenly gave the Donglin Party no room for maneuver.
There is no need for top-down punishment, but to use strategies to dig out the public opinion reputation of one of Donglin's two major foundations.
As for the land and commerce in the other southeast, there is no need to suppress it from the top down, but to replace it from the bottom up in the future. In traditional parlance, it is called "Li Dai Tao Jiang".
After Tianqi announced the reward, everyone marveled that the emperor was only 16 years old, but he knew how to not be stingy with his position and money, which was indeed a sign of achievement.
Wang Hongyu sighed in his heart.
Zhu Youxiao, the emperor, has a really bad reputation in later generations, but he is only 16 years old now, and he is actually still a malleable talent.
In his own opinion, his biggest problem is that he has no one to rely on. Apart from Wei Zhongxian, who else can he rely on in history?
Rely on the Donglin Party to support yourself?
Relying on corruption and doing nothing?
Isn’t that just lying down and doing nothing?
Tianqi lost his mother and was bullied since he was a child, and was taken away by Prince An Yingying of Donglin.
This background inspired his rebellion. He could accept the incompetence but loyalty of his subordinates, and would even delegate power to them.
But he can never bear to be bullied by others who seize power, and he can never bear to be betrayed by others.
Therefore, he did not choose to lie down and let the civil servants take the lead in everything, but chose to rely on Wei Zhongxian. Although he was greedy, had a poor reputation, and had average abilities, at least Wei Zhongxian could not betray him.
Because without him, Lao Wei is almost nothing.
If you grasp this point well and take advantage of Tianqi's youth, you can of course change a lot of things about him.
Like woodworking?
Very good. There is a lot of learning in carpentry. Isn’t it wonderful to learn geometry, learn mechanics, and then promote geometry and mechanics?
Moreover, this person is not very respectable. There are rumors that Jiu Qian is almost an emperor, but he doesn't care.
If you are led to engage in "miscellaneous subjects" such as mathematics and physics in the future, and you become an engineer emperor, you will definitely be criticized wildly by Confucian scholars.
But he can withstand the pressure of criticism
Not compromising, not afraid of scolding, these are the great advantages of Tianqi
Let me ask you, the Ming and Qing emperors, which ones were neither uncompromising nor afraid of scolding?
Let’s look at the Ming Dynasty first. Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were strict people. They killed many people but had nothing to do with outspokenness. There were famous critics in both periods.
Ren, Xuan and Xiaozong had a good reputation among civil servants, but they had soft ears.
Longqing obeyed the civil officials, Wanli hid, but Chongzhen couldn't scold him.
Chenghua and Zhengde are actually underestimated. He is capable of employing people and willful, but he can also tolerate being scolded.
There are 4 people in this way
The Manchu emperor was much worse.
Yongzheng could do it, others
Shunzhi would run away to become a monk. Kang Mazi was scolded for engaging in literary inquisition and committing serious crimes and murders. Qianlong could only listen to others' praise, but could not listen to others' scolding, and he was also a master of literary inquisition. Jiaqing and Xianfeng were good at scolding civil servants, but they were good at scolding civil servants.
They'd better not think about it.
The situations of Jingtai, Taichang, Tongzhi, Guangxu and the last one are very special, so it is of little significance to participate in the discussion.
In the end, Baozong and Daoguang are left. Even if we don’t mention these two, they are incomparable to everyone above.
Emperor Tianqi is uncompromising, not afraid of scolding, thick-skinned, ruthless, and like Zhengde, focusing on what he loves. This is of course the favorite of time-travelers like Wang Hongyu.
Jiang Bin of the Zhengde Dynasty has proved how powerful he can be in the Zhengde period.
Wang Hongyu didn't care if the civil servants called him Jiang Bin No. 2, as long as they could have the opportunity.
In the early speech, he said that he would not be an enemy of civil servants, but there was a hidden meaning in his words. If the three civil servants, Xiong Tingbi, Zhang Quan, and Wang Huazhen, gave him some help, he would certainly remember their good deeds.
If you dare to treat me like Yuan Yingtai, the result will be that your reputation will be ruined.
Not only that, if he promotes the reform of civil servants in the future, his supporters will still praise him, but those who oppose and obstruct it will be happy with them.
The morning is coming to an end.
Zhao Nanxing, the censor of Zuodu, requested for the third time to become an official, that is, to retire and go home.
Zhu Youxiao hesitated for a moment, this was a bit unexpected and not within the plan.
How to deal with it?
Looking at Eunuch Wei next to him, Old Wei didn't have any ideas. Instead, his eyes were a little panicked. He calmed down a little and felt that Zhao Nanxing should get out.
Zhu Youxiao was also unsure. He looked at his teacher Sun Chengzong and saw that Teacher Sun had his eyes closed and was meditating. He had drawn a clear line on Donglin's affairs and would not participate in it any more.
What to do?
Tianqi was not sure who to rely on.
correct!
Wang Hongyu has rich experience, bravery and strategy, so why not ask him.
As soon as he passed his gaze, he saw the heroic young general smiling confidently at him, his whole aura unmoving, like Mount Tai and Beidou.
Unmoving as a mountain!
By the way, the commander-in-chief should be as motionless as a mountain. This was the advice Wang Hongyu gave me, and it should be the same now.
Zhu Youxiao immediately cheered up and said in a calm tone: "Zhao Aiqing is famous among scholars and was the hero who brought me to the throne. There were no other major mistakes before this one, so there is no need to retire just because of one.
"
Zhao Nanxing had previously regarded himself as the opposite of the emperor, and wanted to do justice as a scholar and criticize his ministers. He had a reputation for being smart, wise, and upright, and wanted to fight against the emperor and eunuchs. But when Tianqi said this, he was greatly shocked.
