Chapter seventy-ninth show the chariots and horses
From the opinions of Yuan Yingtai, Wang Huazhen, Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan, we can see the attitude of the Donglin Party on some matters. It is not unfair to say that they have high ambitions and low abilities.
Liaodong is getting worse and worse in the hands of these people. From the initial loss of city and land to the crazy money burning later, it is all their fault!
Standing opposite them were Xiong Tingbi, Wang Xiangqian and Wang Zaijin. These people had a very clear understanding of the situation in the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty has declined, domestic problems are serious, the court cannot make ends meet with taxes, the people are miserable, and the Liaodong army has no fighting capacity.
Obviously, blindly emphasizing the recovery of Liaodong is unrealistic and impossible to achieve.
History has proven that their ideas were right. When Ming Dynasty wanted to solve these problems, the focus was not on Liaodong.
Liaodong was not really a big problem, it was just a slave.
Over the years of the Ming Dynasty, it had fought against the Japanese, destroyed the southwest, and had been fighting the Mongols in the north, including the Tatars and the Oaras. Compared with these, the establishment of slaves in Liaodong at this time was nothing at all.
Ming Dynasty's problems are its own problems, and we must find solutions from within, instead of just clamoring to regain Liaodong.
Zhu Youxiao saw clearly and thought clearly that he would never make the same mistake again.
Therefore, it is imperative to activate Wang Xiangqian and Wang Zaijin.
Zhu Youxiao turned his head and glanced at Chen Hong, and said directly: "In order to pass the decree to the cabinet, the cabinet drafts the decree. Wang Xiangqian is the governor of Liaodong, and Wang Zaijin is the governor of Guangning. Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning, returns to the capital to listen."
Chen Hong quickly said: "I'll go right now, slave."
For Wang Huazhen, there was no use in returning to Beijing. Zhu Youxiao planned to label him as a Donglin Party member this time and put him to bed.
Wang Huazhen could even be used as a breakthrough point to uncover the Donglin Party's embezzlement of Liaodong army salaries. The purpose is of course not to increase the charges against the Donglin Party.
A person who forms a party for personal gain and exercises good governance is enough for them to die.
The reason why we want to investigate these people for embezzling military pay is very simple. Of course, it is to recover money.
Although there is still some money in the internal treasury, this amount of money can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket for what Zhu Youxiao wants to do.
What Zhu Youxiao wants is money from people like the Donglin Party.
Things in the capital are getting more and more intense, which can be seen from the impeachment memorial.
In the past, everyone mainly attacked Wei Zhongxian, but this time it was different. The target of everyone's attack had begun to involve Emperor Tianqi.
Some people are afraid, and the more afraid they are, the more violent their reactions will be. This is also what Zhu Youxiao expected.
Sitting behind Long's desk, Zhu Youxiao flipped through the memorials in front of him, the expression on his face not changing at all.
Looking at it, Zhu Youxiao suddenly smiled. This was a question paper to defend Yang Lian.
It is said that Yang Lian was always familiar with the county and ranked first among the most honest officials in the country.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help it.
Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, if we want to talk about honest officials, there is no second choice besides Hai Rui.
What's more, Yang Lian at that time was just a county magistrate. Who would care whether he was honest or not?
A county magistrate lasts only three years, so what if he is incorruptible? With the Ming Dynasty’s communication methods, who would know whether a county magistrate is incorruptible?
If this wasn't advocated by some people, Zhu Youxiao wouldn't have believed it. Obviously, this was the result of the Donglin Party flattering each other.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao suddenly had a feeling. That is, the Donglin Party's habit of flattering each other might be more serious than he thought.
Many things are blown out by themselves. You say good things to me, and I say good things to you. The result is that everyone is positive.
In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in later generations, and there is also a very nice name called business mutual blowing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao smiled even happier.
Sure enough, history is a circle that keeps repeating itself.
Gently throwing the question book in his hand back on the table, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Okay, take them all away."
Chen Hong did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly walked over and took away all the question books.
In Chen Hong's view, these things were all things that made the emperor angry.
Originally, the emperor wanted to see it, but Chen Hong was very worried, fearing that the emperor would be angry because of these things and would implicate himself.
He never expected that the emperor was not only not angry, but also seemed to be very happy.
Zhu Youxiao naturally didn't pay attention to what Chen Hong was thinking. These people were so united, which made Zhu Youxiao have the idea of wiping them all away.
There are so many title books and so many memorials, all of which are impeaching Wei Zhongxian and Xiong Tingbi, and even impeaching Zhu Youxiao.
There is no question book here that focuses on the matter itself. For example, is the frame-up of Xiong Tingbi true? Did those people receive any money? What is the truth of the matter?
No one asked, and no one wanted to explore.
You say these people are pretending to be deaf and dumb, or you say these people believe that Wei Zhongxian framed the case. According to the procedures, shouldn't the matter be investigated first?
And what about them?
They just attacked Wei Zhongxian blindly.
Zhu Youxiao also understood what they did, and this approach would also be discussed in later generations.
That is, since the problem cannot be solved, then solve the person who raised the problem once and for all.
Once Wei Zhongxian is defeated or even executed, everything will be solved.
Walking to the door of the main hall, Zhu Youxiao stretched himself, and the expression on his face became calm.
That's fine, let's just show off our horses and have a fight!
"Your Majesty."
At this time, Chen Hong walked around and came back. He walked to Zhu Youxiao and said respectfully: "Han Xu, the cabinet scholar, wants to see you."
Zhu Youxiao was stunned. Zhu Youxiao had different feelings about Han Xu.
Although Han Xu is also a member of the Donglin Party, Han Xu is different from Zou Yuanbiao, Yang Lian and others in that he basically does not talk much.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, if he did not participate in this incident and just watched quietly from the side, Zhu Youxiao would not be prepared to involve him.
Unexpectedly, he came to the door first without looking for him. Zhu Youxiao was a little disappointed in his heart.
But it’s okay to talk to Han Xu and see what he thinks.
"Let him come in." Colonel Zhu You ordered Chen Hong.
Not long after, Han Xu came in from outside after receiving the answer.
Zhu Youxiao was looking at Han Xu, and Han Xu was also looking at Zhu Youxiao.
Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, the two of them felt as if they had met each other a lifetime ago.
Especially Han Xu, he clearly remembered what His Majesty looked like when he first ascended the throne.
Han Xu remembered that his emperor had never left the imperial court to study when he was the grandson of the emperor. He asked the emperor to hold a sutra lecture banquet starting from the 12th and to continue the banquet every day from now on. The emperor accepted.
At that time, the emperor was not what he is now.
