Chapter 315 The Conspiracy of the Donglin Party (1)
Not to mention that the two brothers Zhu Youcheng and Xin Wang were happy and happy in Daliang Mountain, and in a dilapidated courtyard in Beijing, the Donglin Party once again held a secret meeting.
However, this secret meeting was a bit miserable. The meeting place was simply a slum, as if the house would collapse if it was blowing. The number of people in the party was pitifully small, with only dozens of people; the position of the party officials was ashamed, and the largest official was only the seventh-rank censor.
The Donglin Party in Beijing was caught by the emperor in the third year of the Apocalypse. Why are there so many fish that missed the net now? It turned out that these people were not in Beijing during the Apocalypse three years ago and escaped that disaster. After returning to Beijing, they found that the Donglin Party was suspected of rebellion, so they denied their relationship with the Donglin Party.
The Donglin Party members in prison also believed that they wanted to preserve some vitality for the Donglin Party, so they did not involve those people.
Hao Tuobao, the initiator of the Secret Association, sighed and said, "We can see the results of the scientific examination last year. We can easily pick up scholars in thirteen provinces, and the provinces are equal. Our Donglin Party is basically no longer able to reproduce the original grand scene. I think the literary style in Jiangnan is the most prosperous, and there are countless Jinshi in each dynasty and dynasty. Even if the emperor wiped out the Donglin Party, we are not afraid. As long as we go through a few rounds of scientific examinations, we can control the government again. But now the emperor has cut off the roots of our Donglin Party and there is no time for the Ming Dynasty to be full of official dynasties."
As he said that, Hao Tu ●■gua shed tears of sadness.
Hao Tuoyu is true. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the literary style in the south has far surpassed the north, and the majority of people in the south have been recruited for scholars. Therefore, the power of southerners in the court is far better than that in the north, and it is easy to form cliques and make private contributions.
In order to balance the political ecology of the north and south, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, changed the imperial examination and the imperial examination from the national unified examination to the north and south rankings to the admission.
But that's true, it didn't give the scholars from the north much advantage. Most of the ministers in the court were still in the south.
But now the thirteen provinces have selected scholars by province, which has completely broken the situation of unified scientific research in the south, so that people from each province will enter the court to become officials. The court's policies will also be more fair.
The political foundation of the Donglin Party, based on the southern and northern people, quietly collapsed under this new imperial examination policy of the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Xiangchun said: "Chief Hao is right. If this policy remains unchanged, the Donglin Party will not turn around. Not only that, what is even more abominable is the Ming Administrative Academy. What are the teachings of students? What are the loyalty of the emperor and patriotism? Isn't it just to let us scholars become dogs raised by the emperor? Do we still need the backbone of scholars? Think about how many imperial edicts the Three Yang Cabinets (Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, Yang Pu) returned the emperor's imperial edicts and set an example for scholars all over the world. But now? What the emperor says is what the emperor says. Look at the current five cabinet elders Gu Bingqian, Wen Donglai, Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, and Qian Longxi, who are simply the emperor's voice worms. When the emperor said, they are either 'good and good' or 'right'."
Huang Gongfu asked curiously: "I remember that there were always six people in the cabinet, why did the Cabinet revelation last year? After Mr. Sun Chengzong, the Cabinet Master, went to the post, did not add the Grand Secretary? Is it because the emperor was nostalgic and wanted to recall Sun Chengzong back to the court and leave a place for him?"
"It is impossible to recall Sun Chengzong," said Hao Tuogao. "His defeat in the third year of the Tianqi period completely proves that his so-called Ningjin defense line is simply a scumbag. Once he returns to the court, how can he face the doubts of the ministers of the court? However, I already know the candidate for the cabinet master."
Everyone asked together: "Who is it? Are you a friend of our Donglin Party?"
Hao Tuogao sighed and said, "On the contrary, it is our mortal enemy of the Donglin Party. Remember in the third year of the Tianqi period, the emperor was granted a Grand Secretary? Yes, it is Zhu Youcheng, a Grand Secretary of Longtu Pavilion. The reason why the emperor did not select officials to be appointed to the cabinet to assist in the government was to leave this position for him."
Everyone took a breath of cold air. Zhu Youcheng. They knew each other so well. This person was simply a disaster star of the Donglin Party. There was never a good thing to do when he met him.
Huang Gongfu said: "Zhu Youcheng... He is too young, will the guilds of the court agree?"
Wang Xiangchun pondered and said, "It's not impossible. It's not impossible. As the saying goes to generals and prime ministers, the generals have made too great achievements, but it's possible to reward them with their prime ministers. Didn't Di Qing of the Song Dynasty enter the court to become prime minister because of his military merits? Zhu Youcheng defeated Jiannu in Liaodong and beheaded 30,000, and his merits are unparalleled. Now he goes to the southwest to quell the rebellion, and maybe he has to play a triumphant song again. It's reasonable to pay it to the cabinet and the elders."
Huang Gongfu said: "Wouldn't that mean that the youngest prime minister in history is about to appear in the Ming Dynasty?"
The order of cabinet masters is generally ranked in the order of joining the cabinet. The current chief assistant is Gu Bingqian. If he retires, he will take over Wen Donglai, and then he will be Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai and Qian Longxi.
Now these five cabinet masters are old and will surely retire one after another. Maybe ten years later, Zhu Youcheng will be able to ascend to the position of chief minister of the cabinet.
Ten years later, Zhu Youcheng was only twenty-seven years old, and the 27-year-old chief minister was rare in the world.
Hao Tuoyu said: "The inner minister of the Ming Dynasty was Wei Zhongxian, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty was Zhu Youcheng, Wei Zhongxian was a dog raised by the emperor, and Zhu Youcheng was a tiger raised by the emperor. The Ming Dynasty government fell into the hands of this dog and a tiger, and the Donglin Party would never have a day to turn over."
A sharp voice sounded, but it was the censor Wan Yanyang. He said: "The Donglin Party not only has no day to turn over, but also has an unheard reputation. In front of it, there was "The Sound of the Wind in the Donglin" written by Feng Menglong, a damn Ministry of Rites, and later, Gu Bingqian was ordered by the emperor to write "The Essays of the Three Dynasties". The Donglin Party's face and inner pride were completely lost. Now, no matter whether it is a scholar or not, he always looks at the Donglin Party coldly."
Because of his strong work ability, Feng Menglong has now been promoted to the Ministry of Rites.
"The Wind of Donglin" is a Pinghua (novel) written by him in accordance with Zhu Youcheng's request. It fictionalized a story and threw all the broken things of the Donglin Party into it. After the Pinghua was published, it aroused a strong response.
Recently, someone in the court mentioned the matter of the Donglin Party. Emperor Tianqi felt that the court had not yet fully recognized the true face of the Donglin Party, so he ordered Gu Bingqian, Huang Liji and Feng Quan to compile the "Three Dynasties' Essential Documents", which detailed the three major cases involving Ming Guangzong Zhu Changluo: the case of attack, the case of red pill, and the case of palace transfer.
"The Sound of the Wind in the Donglin" made the Donglin Party smell all over the streets among the people, while "The Three Dynasties' Essays" made the Donglin Party turn into a rat crossing the street in the scholars. Therefore, the Donglin Party in history hated the "The Three Dynasties' Essays" and once it reached a high position, it set the "The Three Dynasties' Essays" as. What's ridiculous is that "The Three Dynasties' Essays" was written by the emperor's order, and there was a preface written by Emperor Tianqi himself. The ministers banned the emperor's book, which shows his rebelliousness.
Moreover, even if the Donglin Party surrendered to Jiannu, became their slaves, and became a traitor whom thousands of people were referring to, they were still obsessed with the "Three Dynasties Essentials". Finally, they told Jiannu's pseudo-emperor to re-order the "Three Dynasties Essentials Essentials" as.
Jiannu liked to pour sewage on the Ming court and always enjoyed it. If "Three Dynasties' Essays" really turned black and white, they would definitely shout that this is a good book. Why is it good? Who knows, I don't know how to write, but I just heard that someone made rumors about the Ming Dynasty. Since it was a rumor, it must be a good book.
For example, the fabrication of "Shu Bi" by Zhang Xianzhong massacres the Sichuan people is a good book, and it must be included in the "Siku Quanshu". Look, all the people who kill people are from the Ming Dynasty. We Jiannu never robbed food, never forced | raped women, never killed people.
What, there is a corpse behind me? That was done by the Ming Dynasty. What, there is a naked woman under my body? That is also done by the Ming Dynasty. What, where did my family’s food come from? That is still the Ming Dynasty... No, it was produced by us ourselves.
Jiannu is so shameless, and so is the Donglin Party.
Wang Xiangchun said: "In this dynasty, the Donglin Party will not be able to turn over. If the Donglin Party wants to turn over, it will have to wait for the emperor to make a big move."
The emperor's great cause refers to the death of the emperor.
"It's extreme, it's extreme."
The Donglin Party officials present nodded together.
Wang Xiangchun's words were basically naked|Naked|Naked|Naked|Duration Emperor, but the Donglin Party members who claimed to be the last loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty not only did not think there was anything wrong with this sentence, but instead thought that this sentence was quite accurate and hoped that the day would come soon.
