Chapter 247: One Sect and Two Nobles
There were too few loyal ministers in the true sense of the Ming Dynasty, and they were rare. If you want a pure minister and have the corresponding abilities and status, you must cultivate them yourself.
For Emperor Chongzhen, the political structure of the Ming Dynasty in the future will inevitably be checks and balances between multiple parties. Only then can he, the Emperor of Ming, sit firmly on the dragon throne and master the maximum imperial power.
Therefore, the imperial party gradually formed also has checks and balances within each other. After all, existence like Chunchen is hard to come by.
"His Majesty……"
Zhang Zhiji, wearing mourning clothes, knelt on the ground, with tears in his eyes, looking at Emperor Chongzhen, choking several times, but couldn't say what he wanted to say.
There is an old man in the family like a treasure. Zhang Weixian's death has a great blow to the Duke of England's mansion.
"Get up."
Returning from Kunning Palace to the Ganqing Palace, seeing Zhang Zhiji's expression, Emperor Chongzhen sighed lightly, walked forward slowly, bent down and pulled Zhang Zhiji up.
Zhang Weixian's sudden death is definitely not a trivial matter even for the national dynasty. After all, he was a hereditary British Duke and a veteran of the four dynasties. His status and fame are highly respected by him. He privately There are also many friends and officials who have friendship.
When he learned that Zhang Weixian was seriously ill, Emperor Chongzhen went to visit the Duke of England and said something about "one family and two titles" would inevitably spread between the government and the country.
"A man cannot be resurrected when he dies. As the Prince of England, you must carry this burden."
Emperor Chongzhen patted Zhang Zhiji on the shoulder and said, "The Duke of England is my loyal and kind-hearted in the Ming Dynasty, and your Zhang family interprets the word "loyalty" to my emperor and the country.
I will not forget, and Imperial Ming will not forget.
I did not expect the British Guild to die so suddenly. There were many government affairs in the dynasty before. I always thought that after Mr. Zhang recovered his health, he would then enthrone the British Duke's lineage and a hereditary count.
but……"
"His Majesty……"
Zhang Zhiji, who heard this, had a slightly red eye and knelt on the ground to show his loyalty. He was a two-digit title, and he was a hereditary count. This was deeply for Zhang Zhiji, who did not know the truth. I felt Emperor Chongzhen’s favor for their Zhang clan.
"Forget it, I won't mention these."
Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "The funeral of the British Duke is handled by the Ministry of Rites. You must withstand it, and Wanmo will fall into the reputation of the British Duke's Mansion.
I am determined to grant the title of the eldest grandson of the British Duke, as the loyal and brave uncle, to grant gold and iron certificates, and to supervise the Five Military Camps Youye. In the future, one son can be chosen to inherit it to show the loyalty and courage of the British Duke."
Emperor Chongzhen is not stingy in treating those he trusts.
These are all due to the British Duke who was loyal to the Ming Dynasty. If the honorary and relatives were used well, it would definitely be the help of Emperor Chongzhen in the future.
It is a necessary way to attack the huge group of civil officials and achieve the true balance between civil and military affairs, but Emperor Chongzhen would never be lenient with those two-faced and three-killed honorary relatives.
At this stage, there are very few people around Emperor Chongzhen. For various reasons, the group of honors and relatives such as Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen must be used.
When you grasp the overall situation in the future and truly stabilize the Ming Dynasty, like Zhu Chunchen and others, you will really do anything excessive, and it will be impossible to seize the title!
After all, Emperor Taizu and the others did have many titles, but they also seized many titles.
"I thank God for your kindness!"
Zhang Zhiji was a little excited and hurriedly knelt on the ground, performed a bow and bowing ceremony, and expressed his attitude to Emperor Chongzhen. His eldest son Zhang Shize, who was favored by the emperor and inherited the loyal and brave uncle, also represents He inherited the Duke of England without any accident.
This is very important to Zhang Zhiji.
"Get up, my heart is a little confused." Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said, "Just ask Pang Tianshou to represent me, go to the Duke of England's palace to assist you in the funeral."
Emperor Chongzhen knew in his heart that he wanted to entrust Count Zhang Shize to grant gold and iron vouchers. Once this matter was passed on in the court, it would inevitably cause a great sensation.
But this is exactly the effect he wants.
At present, due to the influence of Yuan Chonghuan's case, so many things have been implicated and caused quite a storm, so he has to use this to express his attitude.
"Han Zanzhou, convey the matter of my decree of the British Duke to the Ministry of Rites and do things according to the system." After Zhang Zhiji left, Emperor Chongzhen looked calm and said to Han Zanzhou: "Tell the people from the Ministry of Rites, this is what happened."
Things must be done, otherwise I will be granted by the imperial edict!”
"I will receive the order!"
The Ming Dynasty had a strict etiquette process for the edicts and titles. If the Ministry of Rites controlled by the civil servants really didn't want to do it, many things would inevitably happen.
But for Emperor Chongzhen, the honor of being a British Duke, one family and two titles must be given, which can be regarded as an explanation for the deceased Zhang Weixian.
At the same time, we can also express our attitude and test the reactions of the civil servants through this matter. At the same time, we can also arouse the appetite of the honorary and relatives.
If Zhang Weixian could do his best to the country and receive such an honor, would they also receive such an honor? After all, a hereditary title is completely different from two hereditary titles.
'Zhang Weixian, although you are considered a politician, you have fulfilled all the responsibilities and obligations you deserve.' In the empty Dongguan Pavilion, Emperor Chongzhen stood with his hands behind his hands and said in his heart: 'Writing games are sometimes a means,
This loyal and brave uncle is worthy of the British Duke.'
Emperor Chongzhen understood Zhang Weixian's sudden death. With his arrival, some timelines began to fluctuate.
If he wants to manage the Ming Dynasty, which is in a bad way, he must remain highly vigilant, break the current political situation, and let everything move towards what he plans.
If this is not the case, then no one can guarantee whether the tragedy of the Jiashen Rebellion will come early, which is absolutely unacceptable to Emperor Chongzhen.
Instead of passively going up the mountain to fight guerrillas, standing at the most politically significant height in the world, dominating this huge feudal dynasty, and wanting to achieve its own political plan, it still has a considerable advantage.
As long as you can reorganize the northern pattern and truly master a powerful army of huge size, there will definitely be no problem if you want to use iron-blooded methods to kill the sharpness of the south.
In order to solve the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty from the root, the stubborn performances of the southern powerful, gentry, and landlords were not considered a second good way, except for this method. Emperor Chongzhen could not think of a second good way, after all, the complicated interests
