Zhao Nanxing blamed himself extremely. It was not that he felt sorry for Emperor Tianqi, but that he had misjudged Yuan Yingtai.
Although Yuan Yingtai was a scholar and had the same interests as Dong Lin, there was no way he could be cleansed of what he had done. The upright and righteous actions he took were really wrong.
Now Emperor Tianqi forgives himself and takes the blame for his sins. No matter how proud a scholar is, it is an individual first, and then the group of people who study and become officials.
Zhao Nanxing, as one of the three giants of Donglin, is rethinking at this time. Civil servants and emperors are in opposition, and civilian officials are competing against military generals. Are these the original intentions of Donglin Academy? Do you want to lead Donglin to do these things?
Wang Hongyu looked at everyone in the court with a somewhat penetrating gaze.
There is a question that I have been thinking about for a long time, that is, using high-pressure punishment methods can indeed solve the problem, but this solution is just to change a group of people.
Not only does it fail to solve the problem, but it will create unnecessary enemies.
It's just like Dayu's father, Gun, who used blockage to control floods. As a result, the floods became more serious and he was killed.
At this time, directly punishing and suppressing civil servants is as serious as blocking a large river from flooding!
Wang Hongyu likes to use his mind and skills to combine the characteristics of different floods to grasp the main contradictions and the main aspects of the contradictions.
For example, let Donglin Party have internal strife instead of directly declaring war with Donglin.
For example, Yuan Yingtai was not directly killed and beheaded by Shang Fang's sword. Instead, he made a plan to unite most of the generals and make Yuan Yingtai ruined and despised by thousands of people.
The same is true now. Zhao Nanxing's reputation has been ruined, and there is little point in fighting again. Instead, it will push Donglin Academy and the Jiangnan gentry into opposition.
But the other will be punished.
The right minister of the Ministry of Justice, Gao Panlong, had no intention of admitting his mistake. Instead, he colluded with Duke Cheng to kill me.
Ha ha
Wu Xun's side.
I saw the British prince, Zhang Weixian, licking his lips impatiently and not speaking this morning.
This person is very extraordinary. He and Dong Lin moved to the same palace and shared the same trench friendship, but they were also close relatives and had unparalleled prestige among military generals. Later, he had a close relationship with Chongzhen and was one of the important helpers who helped Chongzhen ascend the throne and kill Wei Zhongxian.
.
In short, Wei Zhongxian was nine thousand years old, but he was very powerful. It was at the two most critical moments that he was humbled in front of the British Duke Zhang Weixian.
The other Duke Cheng Guo pales in comparison.
Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, was only in his thirties, similar to Gao Panlong. He got into big trouble but didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
Hehe, then I will take your position of martial arts that guarantees the second place and the first place.
Morning ends.
Tianqi put on a good show in front of civil and military forces.
But this is just the beginning.
He once wanted to use people without party affiliation to replace some Donglin Party officials to reduce the power of the Donglin Party in the outer court.
However, it was discovered that people who did not originally belong to the Donglin Party, once they entered the circle of the court, were either attracted to the Donglin Party or excluded by the Donglin Party, and gradually succumbed to the Donglin Party and became the periphery of the Wei Donglin Party.
member.
What does this mean?
This shows that the outer court is not just a problem of the Donglin Party, but that the civil servants as a group gradually have their own position and their own sense of identity as a group.
After all, we have reached the stage of competition between emperors and civil servants.
Being young and energetic, of course he wanted to deal a violent blow to the civil servants.
But my consciousness told me that it was inappropriate to do so, and that my strength was not enough.
Especially since besides myself and the civil servants, there are others who are also observing.
He and Wei Zhongxian had just eliminated the Donglin Party's informants in the inner court, but there were still spies from the nobles and informants from other parties, and they had an intricate and ambiguous relationship with the Donglin Party.
This time, Duke Cheng Guo, who ranked second in martial arts, colluded with Gao Panlong of the Donglin Party to kill Wang Hongyu, a military general who had made great achievements against Zhao Prison.
This time, following Wang Hongyu's advice, he made a self-incriminating edict, took the blame himself, and gave lenient sentences to the culprits Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong. At that time, the Donglin Party radicals were disgraced at the court meeting of 1,000 people.
In a short period of time, his reputation has increased, and the most radical group of people in the Donglin Party will no longer have the advantage in public opinion.
Without the advantage of public opinion, the Donglin Party would no longer be in power. The peripheral members of the Donglin Party distanced themselves at that time, and others even drew a clear line with the Donglin Party.
In fact, Tianqi didn't say a few words during the entire meeting, he just observed and thought carefully.
According to Wang Hongyu's advice, he has begun to get out of the predicament, but the national treasury is empty, and his own inner treasury is also empty.
We really have no money. The hateful Donglin Party and the hateful Yuan Yingtai destroyed all the wealth that Wanli had accumulated for 40 years in less than a year!
Where does the money for the war come from?
By the way, Eunuch Wei came back from Zhao Prison and said that Wang Hongyu wanted to go to Yunyang to prepare to quell the She'an rebellion. He didn't need to pay for it from the court. As long as he gave him the privilege of governing Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, he could put down the She'an rebellion.
He also said that reforming the land and returning troops to the countryside, and training troops in the fields will make the army stronger and stronger, and it can also provide financial support for the court.
Is it ok?
Yunnan and Guizhou are a poor and remote place, and they are pretty self-sufficient. They have never paid taxes, and they still have to pay royal subsidies. Sichuan used to be able to pay taxes, but in recent years it has been unable to collect them at all.
General Wang never lets anything go unnoticed, so it seems he must have a trick up his sleeve.
"Eunuch Wei, please ask General Wang to come to the side hall after the court is dismissed. I will summon him alone."
"Old slave obeys the order."
Wei Zhongxian was quite happy.
He knew Wang Hongyu's abilities earlier than Tianqi.
The two teamed up to take down the troublesome foreigners, and started a very profitable industry together. They also reflected on the weaknesses during the "migration", temporarily kept a low profile, and finally killed Wang An and weakened the Donglin Party radicals.
Brother Wang is really capable, and I, Old Wei, must give him more support.
He sent someone to stop Wang Hongyu immediately so that he did not leave with other ministers.
When everyone left, Ye Xianggao and Zou Yuanbiao looked back at Wang Hongyu thoughtfully, thinking that this man had great talents, but they should not be carried away by power for a moment.
After everyone left, Old Wei walked up to Wang Hongyu with a smile: "Brother Wang, your Majesty will give you enough support when he summons you."
The concise and concise words explain the main content of this separate summons.
Wang Hongyu returned alone and met with Emperor Tianqi again.
At this time, the irrelevant people had been screened out, and Zhu Youxiao said energetically: "Hurry up, Marquis Dingyuan, please come up." He directly addressed Wang Hongyu as Marquis Dingyuan.
This sentence is Tianqi's affirmation of secretly restoring Wang Hongyu's military status.
Wang Hongyu stood up after thanking him and saw Zhu Youxiao, who had changed into casual clothes and walked towards him with a smile. Although he was only 16 years old and not yet an adult, he already had the figure of an adult.
He is not a tall man, but his arms and back are strong. After a closer look, he found that Tianqi still has calluses on his palms at a young age.
You do a lot of carpentry work
Later, I will prepare you for mechanics and geometry, so that Tianqi can develop into an engineer.
