Chapter 458: The Credentials of the Lord of Fengtian
At the end of the first month of the ninth year of Chongzhen, a letter of nationality from the west was sent to the Honglu Temple as usual. Deng Lanxin, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, only glanced at it and was so scared that his face turned pale. He quickly held the letter of nationality and ran towards the palace.
Zhu Youjian was sitting upright in Hongde Hall, holding a memorial in his hand, his face gloomy and unstable.
Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, knelt down below and cried bitterly and cried uncontrollably, while Han Yu and other cabinet ministers lowered their heads and kept silent.
Wen Tiren was impeached again.
Not long ago, Fu Chaoyou, the chief clerk of the Criminal Department, advised Wen Tiren to impeach six major crimes. Zhu Youjian was furious and dismissed him from office and sent him to prison.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Guobi impeached Wen Tiren and Liang to form a clique to control the government. Zhu Youjian was angry again and issued an edict to stop Zhu Guobi's salary and arrest all his disciples and wait for death.
Yesterday, a thousand households named Yang Guangxian carried a coffin and walked in the capital. They tried to persuade Wen Tiren to make an uproar in the capital. Everyone knows that.
Now, Zhu Youjian is really angry.
In his opinion, Wen Tiren was one of the few capable ministers in the court. He was not wrong with the penalties and the amount of money and grain was understood at the same time.
Why do such a capable minister repeatedly attract criticism from others?
There is no other reason, only party struggles.
What Zhu Youjian didn't know was that Wen Tiren was the example of his party struggles.
When he first entered the cabinet, Wen Tiren colluded with Zhou Tingru and sent Qian Longxi, the second assistant of the cabinet at that time, to the prison. After Li Biao, the then chief assistant, resigned from his post and returned home, Zhou Yanru was able to successfully become the chief assistant.
With the help of Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren repeatedly promoted the title, and gradually gained favor with Emperor Chongzhen with his ability to observe words and expressions and cater to the superior intentions.
Not long after, Wen Tiren began to secretly cultivate power, deliberately defeated Zhou Yanru, and successfully squeezed Zhou Yanru away in the sixth year of Chongzhen, while he himself successfully became the chief minister of the cabinet.
After becoming the chief minister, Wen Tiren began to form cliques and suppress dissidents. The first one was that Li Changgeng, the Minister of Rites who was incompatible with him, was first trapped by him and then impeached him. Even Li Changgeng's academic status was the people. Wen Tiren also took this opportunity to recommend his confidant Xie Sheng to Zhu Youjian as the Minister of Rites.
Then came the cabinet ministers Wen Zhenmeng and He Wuzuo, who were also dismissed by Wen Tiren as a small censor, angered the two, seized the opportunity of their misverbal words and instructed their confidants to impeach them to death, which eventually led to Wen Zhenmeng and He Wuzuo being dismissed from office.
After the two were dismissed from office, Zheng Xu, a native of Donglin who was retained in Beijing, made a frustration for the two, which aroused resentment from Wen Tiren. He secretly instructed Zheng Xu's relatives to frame Zheng Xu for beating his mother and forcibly taking his father's concubine, so that Zheng Xu was still executed by Ling Chi without any evidence.
In addition, there were countless officials who were suppressed and even demoted due to offending Wen Tiren, but they were quick-witted and good at catering to their superiors, so that Zhu Youjian, the stupid emperor, also trusted him more deeply.
Since ancient times, various dynasties have never lacked party struggles, such as the disaster of the Party and the Party in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Niu Li dispute in the Tang Dynasty, the Party struggle in the Song Dynasty, the Party struggle in the Song Dynasty, but party struggles are not absolutely bad. If political views are different, the two sides of the fight can study governance and promote each other. If party disputes can check and balance each other and supervise each other to prevent one from dominating the whole family, whether it is a benign struggle or a vicious struggle depends on how the emperor responds.
During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, there were frequent disputes in the court. Ouyang Xiu even submitted a memorial to Renzong "On the Party" to refute the attacks of opponents, which shows how fierce the party struggles during that period have reached.
However, during the reign of Emperor Renzong, there was no war for decades, and the country was long-term stability and prosperity, and even the third of the four major inventions emerged. This shows the degree of development of the domestic economy and the administrative operation of the imperial court did not have any problems due to party struggles.
However, the party struggles today are not political disputes or party checks and balances. Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren and others are purely trying to attack and frame others for their own sake. The Donglin Party and Fushe are no longer studying and discussing academic governance, but only fighting against the sky and the earth.
In short, all these people spent their thoughts on infighting.
Zhu Youjian was not the one who caused this situation, but his stupidity, repetition, cruelty and inattention to employ people encouraged this kind of internal struggle.
His brutality is reflected in killing ministers like killing pigs, and his stupidity is reflected in the years when Wen Tiren spent together day and night.
Now that Yang Guang first carried the coffin and tried to persuade Wen Tiren, he naturally angered Zhu Youjian.
Wen Tiren knelt in the hall and cried with tears in tears for a long time, and began to resign, asking Zhu Youjian to resign on the grounds that he was unable to sort out the relationship between various parties and aroused jealousy. It was better to resign from the official position to avoid suspicion.
This move was tried and proved. Zhu Youjian waved his hand and refused Wen Tiren's resignation. He also issued an edict to punish Yang Guangxian, hit him fifty in the stick and sent him to western Liaoning.
Han Du, who stood down below, was still silent, and only a few faint sighs.
Just when Wen Tiren shouted to the emperor's wiseness, Deng Lanxin, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, ran to the hall gate with sweat and panting, but after seeing the situation inside, he did not dare to come in.
"If you have something to do, what is the essence of being afraid of one's head and one's tail."
Zhu Youjian cursed with some dissatisfaction.
Deng Lanxin then bent over and ran in, saying, "Your Majesty, there is a letter of nationality coming from... from the West."
"Come from the West? Where is the state of the Western Regions?" Zhu Youjian asked with a frown.
Deng Lanxin dared not answer, but bowed and held the letter of the country.
"Hmph! Come on." Zhu Youjian was slightly angry.
The little eunuch below quickly took the letter of state from Deng Lanxin and carefully held it in front of Zhu Youjian's case.
Zhu Youjian took the yellow silk scroll and opened it with both hands to see.
At first glance, I saw the letter of the country up and said: "Suppose the Tianping Guards and the Bangladesh to help the world, the gods are powerful and virtuous, and the Xihe River is the master of the pilgrimage to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
After reading this sentence, Zhu Youjian's face turned red and furious, and he suddenly threw the letter of the country out.
"Rebel! Rebel! Rebel! Such a tyrant..."
"It's so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that I'm so angry that
The ministers in the hall were shocked and bowed their bodies and dared not let out, so they only cast doubtful eyes at Deng Lanxin.
Deng Lanxin was trembling and sweating profusely, so he had no time to pay attention to them.
Wen Tiren plucked up the courage to walk forward two steps, squinted his eyes and looked at the letter of the Chinese letter that happened to fall in front of him. After seeing the line of words raised, he was shocked.
It was sent by Qin Chuan.
That traitor actually proclaimed himself to be the co-lord of Fengtian Xihe River. What's wrong?
"The traitor should be punished, and the traitor should be punished!"
Wen Tiren, who was good at guessing the holy intention, knelt on the ground and shouted twice in grief and anger.
Han Yu and other ministers also surrounded him. After seeing it clearly, they knelt down and shouted angrily, "The traitor should be punished."
The ministers shouted, and Zhu Youjian's anger became more and more intense and his hatred became more and more extreme.
After hundreds of years of its founding in the Ming Dynasty, no one has dared to proclaim himself the Lord of Heaven and issue a letter to Zhu Youjian. Qin Ni was declaring to the whole world that he was the son of destiny.
What's wrong?
A few days ago, news came from Liaodong that Huang Taiji ascended the throne and established the country. The Qing Dynasty changed its reign to Chongde. Now, Qin Ni ordered himself to be the governor of the Xihe River in Tian.
What's wrong?
"Come on, tell me that Zhang Fengyi has entered the court to discuss matters."
"I want to use the strength of the whole country to quell the rebellion and punish the rebels!"
Zhu Youjian slapped the table violently, his eyes showing a sense of perseverance.
"Your Majesty's wise!"
Wen Tiren below immediately shouted loudly.
This call made Zhu Youjian more confident, and his eyes towards the letter of Feng Guo changed from anger to contempt.
"Come on that thing, I want to see what Qin thieves have to say."
Hearing this, Wen Tiren quickly picked up the letter of the country and presented it to the imperial desk with both hands.
Zhu Youjian skipped his head and looked down.
"I suddenly heard that the Eastern Nu Chief Emperor Taiji raised troops to annex Korea to increase the strength of the Later Jin Dynasty. He also proclaimed himself emperor and established a country on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the ninth year. This is a thunderbolt of the magnificent blue sky and bright world, which is terrifying and terrifying, and is surrounded by the world."
"The disaster of Dongslaves is not necessary to describe it. With tens of thousands of people repeatedly rampant in the land of China, wherever they pass, there are corpses everywhere in the wild. If the slave chief takes three million Koreans to train hundreds of thousands of fake soldiers, the disaster of Dongslaves will be unstoppable. When entering China, the sun, moon, light, and dust will be covered with heaven and earth."
"When the time is urgent and in danger, I came to the book and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty thought there were three."
"I am willing to stop the war with the Ming Dynasty and end the dispute and hold hands to fight against the Eastern slaves together. This is one of them."
"I speculate that in May and June, Dongnu will enter the pass from Miyun to Shanhaiguan, Koulushuntian Prefecture, Baoding Prefecture, Hejian Prefecture and other places. At that time, I am willing to send troops to attack the bandits with food and grass. I hope that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will strictly order the checkpoints in various places not to be obstructed. I also ordered the Guandi Army to be indestructible to the people and be commensurate with the brothers of the Ming army. This is the second one."
"I am willing to exchange trade and trade with the Ming Dynasty to prosper the people and benefit the people. I hope the Ming Emperor will remove the troops blocking the border and set up a checkpoint to collect taxes, but will not obstruct the business trips. This is the third thing."
"In this chaotic and desolate time and the people are sad, I hope the Holy Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will carefully and carefully study and make contributions to the world for all generations."
"This national book is unique, only one of them."
"Suppose the Tianping Lun and Anbang to help the world, the gods are powerful and the virtues of the Xihe River, the ruler is waiting for the holy wishes."
