Chapter 168 The Six Gentlemen of Donglin
After hearing Zhu Changluo's list of appointments, Zhang Yong secretly wondered: It's not that Zhu Changluo had a good relationship with the Donglin Party, why did he not directly appoint the Donglin Party in terms of personnel appointments? For example, Zhang Quan, the Minister of War, Shi Jihei, the Minister of Rites, are not the Donglin Party, and Han Yi, the second assistant of the cabinet, are not the Donglin Party. Zhu Changluo's teacher, currently the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and second assistant of the cabinet, Zhu Guozuo, although he is interested in the Donglin Party, he is not a member of the Donglin Party.
If we count this way, there would be no Donglin Party members who have newly joined the cabinet. Why does the history books say that Zhu Changluo valued the Donglin Party? Zhang Yong didn't understand what was going on, but when he thought about it, he guessed that this must be the Donglin Party's plan to retreat as a move!
The first operation was that Zhu Changluo appointed a group of people to dilute Fang Congzhe's power, and then gradually made the Donglin Party gain power, and finally expelled Fang Congzhe and replaced Ye Xianggao. Then a large number of Donglin Party came in.
When Zhu Changluo revoked the mining supervision and taxation supervision just now, no one in the court opposed it. After all, this matter benefited the gentry all over the world, and the princes in the court opposed it only after they were full.
In terms of personnel transfer, none of the three parties opposed it because they saw that there was no Donglin Party in the personnel appointed by Zhu Changluo, and the three parties were confused by the Donglin Party's strategy of retreating to advance.
The careful Zhang Yong discovered another problem. Zhu Changluo's personnel arrangements did not balance the three parties, which seemed to give Qi Party the greatest advantage. He felt that there was a problem. The reason why the three parties could join forces to deal with the Donglin Party is that Zhu Changluo, who supports the Donglin Party, has come to power, but has not arranged the personnel of the Donglin Party, but has made the Qi Party bigger.
The plan of disagreement! This must be a plan of disagreement! I don’t know which bird man came up with the plan of disagreement! Zhang Yong cursed in his heart, and suddenly he thought of someone: Wang Wenyan! It is definitely this person! This person must be eliminated as soon as possible!
Originally, Zhang Yong was worried that someone would impeach Xiong Tingbi at the court meeting on the first day of Zhu Changluo's ascension to the throne, but the meeting was almost noon, and no one mentioned Xiong Tingbi's affairs, as if Liaodong had been forgotten.
In July, it was very hot, and civil and military officials stood in the sun in their official uniforms and exposed themselves to the sun. It felt so uncomfortable. There was no cover at all in the big square outside Huangji Gate. It was fine in the morning, but the sun had not come out. On weekdays, it was the sun that came out, and it ended at about 9 o'clock in the morning. At that time, the sunlight coming from the east was still blocked by the buildings on the east and would not shine on people. It was just that the eunuchs and guards standing on the railings of the high platform on the west were more miserable. They were facing the direction of the sun, and the sun shone straight in their eyes. However, civil and military officials could go back without the sun.
But today is the ceremony of Zhu Changluo's ascension to the throne. It is almost noon and it is not over. Gao Shixin, wearing a flying fish suit, stood in the sun. If the silk flying fish suit was in the house and under the shade of the tree, it would be very cool to wear. But after being exposed to the sun for more than an hour, it would feel really uncomfortable.
There was also a white cotton underwear in the flying fish suit, which was equivalent to the short-sleeved clothes of later generations. At this time, the underwear was completely wet, just like it was caught in water. The flying fish suit on her body was completely wet, the hat on her head was also wet, and sweat beads dripping from her forehead and face.
I don’t know when this damn court will end. The Gao Shi secretly cursed in his faith.
In fact, none of the Chinese civil and military officials in the court, including the emperor Zhu Changluo, the eunuchs of the Sili Prison, the small eunuchs and guards on both sides were comfortable. Needless to mention the general of the Han Dynasty, he was wearing armor. Although it was painted on the outside, it was also hot.
Zhu Changluo, who was sitting on the high platform in the middle of the Huangji Gate, felt even more uncomfortable. He was carrying a twelve crown weighing several pounds on his head and wearing a black crown garment. He sat in the sun. The feeling was imaginable, but today's court meeting could not end too early, so he almost exhausted Zhu Changluo. The five umbrella covers could not block the sun. The sun shone on Zhu Changluo's black crown garment. The heat was so full that it was like a steamer inside the clothes.
The two eunuchs behind him kept shaking their fans to fan him, but the wind was also hot.
Finally, it was almost done. Zhu Changluo remembered what he promised Concubine Zheng, so he said, "Dear friends, my father still has a last wish before his death. As the son of the late emperor, I must help my father fulfill this last wish."
As soon as Zhu Changluo spoke, the old foxes in the square knew what he wanted to say, but His Majesty the Emperor had not said anything yet. It is not good to interrupt now, so he would wait until he finished speaking before objecting.
Sure enough, Zhu Changluo's next words were to make Concubine Zheng the Queen of Wanli! That would be the title of the Empress Dowager!
"Your Majesty must not!" Yang Lian, the right minister of the Ministry of War, was the first to stand up. "I think it is related to the foundation of the country. Although Concubine Zheng was a concubine, it caused the late emperor not to attend court for 30 years. Such a beautiful woman could not be made the Empress Dowager?"
"I'm going to discuss it!" The censor Zuo Guangdou also stood up to object.
"Your Majesty, you must never enthrone Concubine Zheng!" Zhou Jiamo, a member of the Donglin Party and Minister of Works, also stood up.
Almost all the Donglin Party stood up. At this time, the Donglin Party was a group of small officials with a size of sesame, but they were upright and did not fear the powerful. Back then, they all dared to point at Emperor Wanli's nose to scold Concubine Zheng. For this reason, many Donglin Party were beaten to death by Wanli's court, and were deprived of their official positions. They were given a coconut in Qiongzhou, and they were given a gift to Guizhou and play with native people. This did not scare the Donglin Party. Now that Wanli is dead, what is his last wish?
Some censors even said horrifyingly that Concubine Zheng joined the eight ministers and caused the emperor to get sick. The implication is that Concubine Zheng was the murderer who indirectly killed Wanli!
Zhu Changluo was originally looking towards the Donglin Party. If the Donglin Party had sacrificed its life to fight back then, the current emperor would not be him, but the King of Fu, who had already gone to Luoyang.
In desperation, Zhu Changluo had no choice but to say: "If you have something to report, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do."
Anyway, he felt that he was already very worthy of Concubine Zheng, and he also told the emperor's last wish at the court meeting, but the ministers in the court strongly opposed it and then gave up.
Regarding the fact that Concubine Zheng was appointed as the queen, the other parties, even civil officials without a sect, and the nobles in the court, all agreed with the Donglin Party, believing that Concubine Zheng could not be appointed as the queen.
However, Zhu Changluo had another thing, that is, he planned to confer Li Xuanshi as queen. However, this matter was not easy to deal with, and the ministers in the court would definitely try their best to stop him. However, Zhu Changluo loved Li Xuanshi deeply. He planned to confer Li Xuanshi as queen even if the ministers were under great pressure. He could give in to other matters, but he refused to concessions in this matter.
After resigning from the court, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Zhou Jiamo and others gathered together, whispering to each other, and were discussing what was going on.
"The new emperor ascended the throne, but I heard that Concubine Zheng, the monster who harmed the country and the people, still lives in the Ganqing Palace?" Yang Lian said.
Zhou Jiamo stroked his beard and nodded, "It seems like this is the case. Yesterday I bid farewell to the late emperor, and I saw those palace maids and eunuchs send Concubine Zheng back to the Ganqing Palace."
Zuo Guangdou said, "It's simply outrageous! Your Majesty is kind and has a strong heart. He can't bear to drive away this monster. We are ministers and cannot watch your Majesty be bullied! We must drive this monster out of the Ganqing Palace!"
"Yes! Drive Zheng Yaonie out!"
"Is it worthy of her if I don't throw her into the cold palace? Is it worthy of her? Can I live in the Ganqing Palace with shamelessness?"
With his sensitive hearing, Gao Shixin heard all the words of Yang Lian and others. He felt sad in his heart: These people are three of the six gentlemen in Donglin? They are just too impatient to get along with women. Is it interesting?
Thinking of this, he discounted his impression of these three of Donglin's six gentlemen. A great man is specialized in being unable to get along with women. Is this what a man does? Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and Zhou Jiamo, the three men, were unable to get along with Concubine Zheng, but later they seemed to get along with Li Xuanshi again, twice!
