Chapter 79 The First Morning Court of the Prison State
Chapter 80 The First Morning Court of the Jianguo
Zhu Youxiao said loudly: "When Yuan Yingtai is promoted to the governor of Xuanfu, he will not be suspicious of those he employs, but will not use those he doubts. This man has never fought in a war, but he is honest and generous. It is okay to go to Xuanfu."
He added to Huang Jiashan, Secretary of the Ministry of War: "As for the rebellion, I don't believe it. If we don't owe pay, we won't be dismissed, and we won't cause harm, the soldiers of the Nine Borders will rebel normally."
Ming Dynasty’s Jiubian soldiers did rebel in the end.
Except for the late Liao Town, which was underfed and looked like a supercilious wolf, in which other town did the frontier troops not have to pay back in the end, were dismissed, were exhausted and held accountable, and finally they had to fight back?
Like the kind of King Qin who came to the capital from thousands of miles away from Gansu and refused to give him food, drink, or money. He also changed his orders day and night, and in the end he had to be held accountable and killed.
They were deserters and thieves.
Zhu Youxiao will not let this situation happen.
As long as Yuan Yingtai doesn't go to war, he won't cause these situations. He is much stronger than many people in the Donglin Party.
Huang Jiashan and others knew about it, and the two cabinet bachelors Fang Congzhe and Han Xu also supported this resignation.
"Finally..." Zhu Youxiao sighed in his heart: "Finally adjustments have been made to Liaodong. Transferring one Yuan Yingtai can save the lives of tens of thousands of powerful troops and hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong."
In fact, Zhu Youxiao knew for a long time that Yuan Yingtai could not resist.
This person is an outsider of Donglin, or he is just a member who was recruited by Donglin to join.
He is not stupid either. He is very capable in managing the Yellow River and doing transportation in Liaodong. He is not the same person as the Bo Yanguan who talked with Qing.
This person is doing well in the officialdom. If he is a little smarter, he will quietly draw a clear line with Dong Lin.
Besides, even if he is extremely stubborn and insists on supporting Dong Lin, there will be no one in Xuanfu Town to support him.
Because there are people in Xuanfu Town who may rebel, they have followed Zhang Jingshi to Beijing this time.
Most of the rest have no different intentions.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was not afraid, so he boldly employed people without doubt.
Fang Congzhe and Huang Jiashan did not see this, but Huang Kezuan, the Minister of Punishment, did.
He understands both military affairs and officialdom, and was deeply touched when he saw the prince's handwriting.
"Awesome, the prince is really powerful. Not only are the rebels no match for the prince, but he will definitely be able to control the entire officialdom."
He is already seventy years old, so he doesn't think about the checks and balances between civil servants and the emperor. Instead, he cares more about whether he can do well and achieve a glorious official career, and whether he can let his family's younger generations and students get along better.
At present, it is obvious that following the prince to supervise the country, these will be available.
Li Ruhua, the Minister of Household Affairs, also had the same idea.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs for many years, he knew that the Ming Dynasty's property was increasing and there was money, but the officials in the court were fighting among themselves and did not do anything. Who could concentrate on carrying out official evaluations, measuring land and collecting money?
Come and find a capable and wise king who can control the situation, so that there will be less internal fighting and internal friction.
After so many years of internal strife in the imperial court, these veterans who stayed at their posts during the Wanli period to keep the situation stable all had this same idea in their hearts.
Zhu Youxiao also knows that everyone is looking forward to this.
"Tomorrow morning, the most important goal of this supervisory country is not to liquidate, but to stabilize the overall situation and people's hearts."
"His Royal Highness the Supervisor of the Kingdom is wise!" Fang Congzhe and Han Xu also felt at ease.
Of course, there must be liquidation, but there is no need to end it personally. That is what Zhu Chunchen and Yang Lian should do first, and then other close ministers should follow up and implement it.
Your end will be unhappy.
It has been discussed in advance that the four guards of Tengxiang, the Zhejiang soldiers, and the white pole soldiers will be rewarded first.
It will be stable tomorrow morning.
......
Forty-eight years of Wanli, September 2nd.
As soon as it gets dark, the first drum of the Meridian Gate has already sounded.
Downstairs of the charred Meridian Gate, half of the ministers had already arrived.
It’s not time to enter the Meridian Gate yet, so there’s no need to line up in line and order.
The ministers gathered in twos and threes, greeting and talking from time to time. The weather was not as hot as before. On this special day, many officials were trying to exchange as much information as possible.
When going to court, ministers did not enter from the front of the Meridian Gate, but entered through the left and right gates, Wendong and Wuxi respectively.
The civil servants were all communicating in front of Zuoye Gate, especially many officials who came to say hello to Chief Assistant Fang Congzhe.
Before the mutiny, Fang Congzhe was regarded as a traitor by civil servants, and no one wanted to get close to him.
Now, the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties are all here to curry favor, and other neutral officials are also very polite.
Only the Donglin Party did not show any pretense.
It's not that they are noble, but that they are worried.
But Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other censors and officials still have some backbone.
They gathered together with firm faces and were not afraid of the morning meeting.
"A spanking with a cane? That will help us."
"Arresting people for Luo Zhi charges? I'm afraid that the government orders will not be able to leave the capital in the future."
"If you didn't participate in the rebellion, you didn't participate. If you dare to be a tyrant, you won't believe that there will be no loyal people in the world."
These officials keep cheering themselves up.
It's very lively in front of Zuoyemen, but much quieter in front of Youyemen.
The British Duke Zhang Weixian and the Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen both knew what was going on.
Zhang Weixian is loyal to the prince and is the hero of putting down the mutiny. He is very confident.
Zhu Chunchen didn't think about what he did the night before yesterday, but only thought about the prince's arrangements for him yesterday, and he was confident in his heart.
Others, such as Xue Lian, the Marquis of Yangwu, Guo Yingqi, the Marquis of Wuding, Sun Chengyin, the Marquis of Huaining, Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, Li Chengzuo, the Marquis of Fengcheng, Cao Yizhong, the Fengrun Bo, and Liu Si, the Guangning Bo, were all quiet and speechless, but felt unsure.
They are really confused.
There are people from the Jingying camp. The Jingying camp participated in the counter-rebellion last night, but there are also people who participated in the rebellion.
The participating Beijing campers were all confused, and these Wu Xun were even more confused.
Let's listen to it in the morning. I hope that a large number of people on the civil service side will be embarrassed and let us Wu Xun have fun.
After a while, it was the second tong drum, and it was almost time for morning worship.
The civil and military officials lined up, the chatter gradually became quieter, and some officials who had not arrived particularly early also took their places.
All civil and military officials wore white plain clothes and white belts on their heads to serve His Majesty Taichang and looked very solemn.
A group of officials who arrived late were also very low-key and didn't say much when they arrived.
Especially Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Civil Affairs of Heaven, did not say a word or talk to anyone, because no one can be trusted at the moment.
The third tom sounded.
Jinyiwei and Honglu Temple began to count the number of people, check the queue and appearance etiquette.
"Dang~dang~dang~"
The bell is ringing, and it’s morning time.
Civil servants enter from the left Yemen, military officers enter from the right Yemen, and ministers formally enter the palace.
After entering the palace, many ministers saw the scene after the mutiny in the palace.
The towering Huangjimen Gate Tower is also scorched black after being burned by smoke and fire.
Although the blood stains on the ground have been wiped away, you can still see the explosion and shallow traces of blood after the battle.
Some people were shocked and wanted to discuss the mutiny.
There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the quiet whip reminded the ministers not to whisper to each other.
On the Huangji Gate, the throne in front of the gate tower has already been set up.
The officials are all dressed in plain clothes, all in white and very solemn.
Liu Shimin, the Eunuch of the Department of Ceremonies and the Imperial Guard, and Liu Qiao, the Commander of the Jinyiwei, appeared on the Huangji Gate accompanied by Zhu Youxiao, the Prince's Supervisor, on the left and right.
Prince Zhu Youxiao, like the ministers, all wear white filial piety belts on their heads.
The first morning dynasty led by him officially began.
