622 Rehabilitation

After the ceremony, Zhou Yanru loudly reported to Emperor Chongzhen, telling him how he worked hard and devoted himself to the emperor after he left the capital with the order, and finally lived up to the emperor's entrustedness. He did not cause chaos in various places, but collected the grain and transported it to Zhangjiawan, Tongzhou. He begged the emperor to send someone else to Zhangjiawan to count the grain and verify the number.

Among his words and deeds, he was nothing more than highlighting the key point, which was that he worked tirelessly to fulfill the emperor's entrustedness, so he was almost at the point of devoted himself to his entire life and died.

After saying that, he stood under the bottom and looked humble, but his erect chest and his expression flying between his eyebrows could not escape the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, knowing what he was thinking.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say anything, but just picked up the memorial on the imperial desk and threw it at the corner of the imperial desk. Gao Shiyue, the rotating eunuch next to him, immediately stepped forward, picked up the memorial with both hands, and walked down to hand it over to Zhou Yanru.

Seeing this, Zhou Yanru was slightly shocked and didn't know what the emperor meant. He was puzzled and reached out to take it and opened it to look.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. After a look, the complacent heart just now flew out of the sky. Sweat beads also appeared on the smooth forehead.

It turns out that the memorial records the big and small things he did during the process of going out of the capital and holding the office. It includes when he went to wherever he went, how many times he went to, how many banquets he was at, what level of banquets he was accompanied by, how many times he participated in the poetry and tea party, how many poems he wrote, how many confidants he had, how much salt was caused, how much food he collected, etc., and some more important things were recorded. These things effectively prove how nonsense it was to work hard to go on a business trip just now.

Emperor Chongzhen was on it and saw Zhou Yanru finishing reading it, he said lightly: "In the Jiangnan area, the trend of association is prevalent. Zhou Qing is happy and happy, it seems that he agrees with it?"

Zhou Yanru's hands holding the memorial were shaking a little, and he bent down and did not dare to make a sound.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he curled his lips slightly, and a sneer appeared slightly. Zhou Yanru was a typical style of the late Ming Dynasty, who liked poetry, calligraphy and painting, liked stars to support the moon, and liked romantic life. He was a minister at a young age, and went to the place, and was surrounded by everyone, and had some stupid things all day long.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru did not speak, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "Xu Qing, the Minister of Rites, left the capital later than Zhou Qing, but he went around the Ming Dynasty and now he has arrived on the grassland. This is how he works hard and devoted himself to his whole life!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yanru bent his waist lowered.

"I wonder how Zhou Qing treats Fushe during this trip to Jiangnan?" Emperor Chongzhen still asked in a faint tone.

After hearing this, Zhou Yanru said that if he had not seen the memorial in his hand, he would have recommended the emperor to restore the society and the backbone scholars. But at this time, he could already hear that the emperor obviously disliked these things. If he said that, his mind would be thrust into the wall.

Therefore, he hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Go to Your Majesty, the style of Jiangnan is corrupt, and scholars like women's style, and are good at talking big, and the style of exaggeration is prevalent. The main part of the Fushe Society is mostly children of officials. Although they are talented but not used for the right path, it is a pity. I have had a lot of contact with them through this trip to Jiangnan, so I really think about it!"

This Fushe is currently in the limelight in Jiangnan. Under the boastful talk, it seems that it is also a leader of Jiangnan Shilin. Although Emperor Chongzhen did not pay much attention, he judging from the news he has heard so far, he doesn't like this.

Of course, if Emperor Chongzhen knew that in the original history, this Fushe replaced the position of the Donglin Party, and later developed into a giant in the Chongzhen dynasty, controlled the imperial examinations of the Chongzhen dynasty, and controlled the government affairs remotely. The leader of his association, Zhang Pu, could even allow Zhou Yanru, who had stepped down, to come out again to be the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. His energy was so great that he even had the title of a folk emperor, he would probably not be disliked.

At this time, after listening to Zhou Yanru's words, Emperor Chongzhen said to him: "Zhou Qing has worked hard to collect food. I would rather take a rest for a while because of Zhou Qing's health. During this period, Zhou Qing might as well go to Jiangnan again. With Zhou Qing's talent, it is possible to reverse the exaggeration of Jiangnan Shilin. How about it?"

Although it was a language of negotiation, the tone of speaking was very firm and he did not give Zhou Yanru a possibility of vetoing it at all.

Zhou Yanru looked at the memorial in his hand. His previous joy had already flown out of the sky. He sighed in his heart and respectfully accepted the order: "I obey the order!"

He knew that he would go to Jiangnan again and probably to fight against the scholars. It was really a blessing to make people feel good. The first half of the year was still happy, but the second half of the year was going to be verbal.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Zhou Yanru agreeing, his tone finally calmed down a little. After saying some polite words of condolences, he asked him to step down.

As for the Ming Dynasty, the style of the Shilin in Jiangnan was very influential. It can be said that the entire style of the Ming Dynasty was led by the Jiangnan side. Before that, Emperor Chongzhen had learned about the deterioration of the style there through a chat group.

Just imagine, as the backbone of the Ming Empire and the future pillars of the Ming Dynasty, he wore women's clothes and competed for luxury. With such a trend, what hope can there be in the future of the Ming Dynasty?

The reversal of the trend is not something that can be solved by killing a few people. The most important thing is that Emperor Chongzhen’s current focus is also on the Liao incident and the disasters in the north of the Ming Dynasty. Zhou Yanru had always been talented in the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that he had a relatively large influence in the Ming Dynasty. He went to Jiangnan to block the further deterioration of the Jiangnan Dynasty’s trend. I believe that it has a certain effect.

When the Liaodong Jianlu matter was broken and the Hetao area stabilized, I had the spare time to start paying attention to Jiangnan to see how I deal with them!

Emperor Chongzhen thought about this and temporarily left this matter behind. After all, although the matter in Jiangnan is also very important, it is not the most urgent. As for Zhou Yanru's grain collected from Jiangnan to Tongzhou, he did not have to be transported to the capital, but directly transported it to Zhangjiakou. He asked Hong Chengchou to send troops from the grassland to Zhangjiakou and transport the grain back to Hetao. As their winter food should be enough!

After arranging this matter, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes turned to Liaodong again. Through the chat group, he knew that the new army fleet was about to arrive at Pi Island. Judging from Li Deming's report, the Korean people were once again in dire straits. Jianlu, who was stationed in the capital of North Korea, forced Guanghaijun to send people to distribute food everywhere, and more and more food was forcibly conscripted to the capital to concentrate.
