Lin Chong took a special look at Qian Qianyi's seat during the morning meeting, and sure enough it was empty. This old fox, Lin Chong sneered, did not want to compromise and lose face, nor did he want to continue to be the leader, so he simply stayed at home and did not come out.
He deliberately looked at that place twice, and then pretended to be confused: "Hey, why didn't Qian Aiqing come today?" He was afraid that others didn't notice that Mr. Qian had run away unkindly.
As expected, many people below looked towards where Qian Qianyi usually stood, with many inexplicable meanings in their eyes.
Huang Xin is really worried now that his head is full of worries. There are not many people in the Ministry of Rites, and there is no suitable person to replace Zhou Ze. There are already enough things to do.
Now the emperor is in a good mood. With a wave of his hand, he has the intention of killing the other minister of the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of Rites must not rebel, and he, the old man, must die of exhaustion.
Wang Chengen cooperated very well with Lin Chong. He pinched his throat slowly and said: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten that Mr. Qian has been ill since he returned. He has taken sick leave these days."
Lin Chong nodded: "Oh, I'm sick. Your Majesty, please come over and have a look for me later. Mr. Qian is the pillar of the country, how can he still be seriously ill by himself? This is really..."
The prince nodded: "Yes."
So Lin Chong was satisfied: "Let's not talk about this. Let's get down to business. I don't know how you have considered the matter of moving the capital that I mentioned a few days ago. Do you still have any questions?"
Ling Yiqu decisively stood up and expressed his position: "I think that moving the capital is of great benefit. Luoyang's land and scenery are excellent. The divination results arranged by Taichang Temple have also come out, and they are all very auspicious."
Lin Chong nodded: "Good luck, it seems that the ancestors of the late emperor are willing to support me and think it is right to move the capital. Does any of you have anything to say?"
No one answered, so Lin Chong called out his name unceremoniously: "Wu Aiqing, is there any problem with the Hanlin Academy?"
Wu Weiye, who was named, trembled, and his usually gentle and calm aura could no longer be maintained. He thought about the consequences of Lao Qian, weighed his dignity and his head, and made a decisive choice: "Go back to Your Majesty, Hanlin Academy.
Various files and books can be transferred at any time, and it will definitely not delay His Majesty's plan to move the capital."
Lin Chong nodded with satisfaction, then turned his eyes to the others.
The people below were all silent, while desperately despising Qian Qianyi and Wu Weiye. They usually looked sanctimonious and feared nothing, but at this time, they fell quickly.
While trying hard to think about how to cooperate with the emperor's grand plan, and contribute their own efforts to the great cause of moving the capital, they can give satisfactory answers when the emperor asks. Since the leaders have raised the white flag, why are they little pawns still struggling?
Lin Chong seemed to have become a math teacher asking questions in class, and sitting below him were a group of scumbag students who knew nothing and were afraid of being called out.
Teacher Lin asked a few more questions and was very satisfied with the fact that everyone unanimously supported his decision and everyone promised not to hold back.
After the morning court, Wang Chengen followed Lin Chong to the imperial study room, preparing to wait beside him.
Lin Chong glanced at him strangely: "Why are you still here?"
Wang Chengen didn't realize what the emperor meant for a while. He hesitated and stood there without moving: "Ah..."
Lin Chong rolled his eyes: "Are you going to suffer from Alzheimer's disease when you get older? You forgot what you just said so quickly. Didn't I just tell you to go to the old man Qian Qianyi's house to visit him?"
Wang Chengen did not forget this sentence, but he thought it was just a casual saying by Lin Chong to scare those Donglin Party members. Now it seems that the emperor is serious about it?
Lin Chong kicked him: "Of course it's true. When did I make a joke to you?"
Wang Chengen’s face was expressionless: “often”
Lin Chong:...I am speechless
"Really, I've actually learned to talk back. Be careful, I'll hit you with my mouth. Forget it, let's go to Qian's house first, and we'll talk about the fight when we get back. Take good care of him, and tell him not to worry, and take his time to recover. It just so happens that I'm here too
Someone needs to stay in the capital to be the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty."
Wang Chengen looked at the smile on the emperor's face that could be called sinister, and couldn't help but light a white candle in his heart for Lord Qian.
"By the way, has Wu Sangui gone to pick up Chen Yuanyuan?" Lin Chong asked casually.
When Wu Sangui came back, he naturally came to see the emperor first. Lin Chong praised him for his heroic behavior, and then let him go to Fayuan Temple very considerately.
As for the celebration party, let's wait until the wedding is over. Lin Chong touched his chin and sighed, is there a better boss than me in the world?
"Already on the way there." Wang Chengen replied.
Lin Chong nodded and waved to Wang Chengen to go down and do his own business first. No matter what he thought in his heart, Wu Sangui could be regarded as a person who values friendship. I hope he did a good deed and made a good story about Chen Yuanyuan.
.
Lin Chong was in a good mood and handled official duties for a while before calling Dong Fang, Li Feng and Zhang Wei over. He wanted to know about their previous fight with Dorgon.
Zhang Wei withdrew relatively quickly, so he basically didn't know anything. So the main people who answered the questions were Dong Fang and Li Feng. Ever since Lin Chong forgave them regardless of past grudges and reused the three major battalions without any scruples, Dong Fang
I have always wanted to perform well in front of His Majesty.
This time was undoubtedly a very good opportunity. Not only did they win, they also won beautifully. Of course, although they withdrew early due to some unavoidable reasons, Dorgon also withdrew his troops.
"Jilharang is still outside the city now, but it has withdrawn far away. There are still Li Zicheng's peasant army watching over there, so there won't be any big problems." Dong Fang analyzed.
"And it seems that Dorgon does not trust Jierhalang, and is even very afraid of him." Li Feng added.
Lin Chong became interested: "Why do you see it?"
Li Feng continued to explain: "It is obvious that the focus of the Manchus is no longer here, but Dorgon deliberately left Jierhalang to observe our situation. With Jierhalang's identity and ability, staying here is too much and overqualified."
What’s more, the people Dorgon left behind are old, weak, sick and disabled people with little fighting ability, no matter how you look at it, you don’t want him to go back.”
Lin Chong agreed with him: "Perhaps in his heart he wished that Jierhalang died in the battle. Even if he did not die in the battle, he would be kept away from the center of power."
Zhang Wei couldn't get in their conversation, so he just stood aside in a daze, thinking to himself. Lin Chong deliberately teased him: "Zhang Wei, can you tell me where the Manchu Qing Dynasty will focus next?"
