Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

"What did you say?!"

Zhang Heming looked shocked and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief. Zhang Heming suspected that he had heard wrongly. After a brief pause, he spoke again: "You just said... Hong Chengchou went to Beijing to take up a post, and the Grand Sima reorganized the personnel of the Ministry of War and handed over Is this person in charge?"

"Yes, You Sima."

As Zhang Heming's confidant, the man said slightly anxiously: "This matter has been spread in the Ministry of War, and many people in the Ministry of War are currently discussing this matter."

"How is this possible?"

Zhang Heming sat on the official hat chair with an unnatural expression on his face, "I have always been in charge of this matter, so why did the Great Sima need to be replaced by someone else? Hong Chengchou had just arrived in the capital to take up his post, and he didn't understand the Ministry of War at all. Why did he take over? Such an errand."

Who told you to keep pretending to be sick?

Hearing what Zhang Heming said, the man couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Since Yuan Keli took office as Minister of the Ministry of War, he decided to rectify the long-standing shortcomings of the Ministry of War and launched an investigation into the relay system. In order to prevent some people from getting in the way, he asked Zhang Heming to rectify the personnel of the Ministry of War, hoping to contain a group of people.

But what about Zhang Heming?

The matter was taken over, but it was extremely slow.

Basically nothing has changed.

After all, this is an offending job.

Until chaos broke out in the capital and the capital, and some people in the court were upset, Zhang Heming simply took refuge in his house under the pretext of recovering from illness.

But Zhang Heming never expected that Yuan Keli would replace someone to handle this matter.

How will he get along in the Ministry of War in the future? !

Even though this job was offending, Zhang Heming never thought about letting go. Even if he really let go, it should be made by him.

What now?

He completely ignored his opinion and without even asking, he left the matter to Hong Chengchou, the new left minister of the Ministry of War. This was obviously to embarrass him!

"Yousima, what should we do next?"

Seeing Zhang Heming's delay in speaking, the man spoke up and said, "I have heard that the lower official heard that when Hong Chengchou arrived in Beijing, he originally submitted a memorial to his Majesty to the palace, but the emperor did not summon him, but sent someone to deliver the oral message. Let Hong Chengchou come to the Ministry of War first to take up his post, I'm afraid Hong Chengchou will seize the matter and won't say anything else."

"This is to step on my shoulders to attract the emperor's attention."

Zhang Heming snorted coldly and said with sharp eyes: "This Hong Chengchou is really capable. He doesn't even understand the most basic rules in the officialdom. He doesn't really think that he can really gain a foothold in the Ministry of War after being specially promoted by the emperor, right? "

All the recent events in the capital have made Zhang Heming uneasy. After all, it is too difficult to guess what the emperor will do. This is a very dangerous signal.

If you are an official in a central temple, but you cannot figure out the emperor's intentions, you will be very constrained in doing things. If you flatter yourself and flatter the horse, the consequences will be disastrous.

Under such circumstances, the errands that should have been his responsibility were taken away by a new person.

Even though Hong Chengchou was the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War and was slightly higher in rank than him, in Zhang Heming's view, the signal in this matter was even more dangerous.

"You Sima, are we going to give Hong Chengchou some extra information?"

Seeing what Zhang Heming was thinking, the man stepped forward and whispered: "After all, many matters in the Ministry of War are not investigated. If our people are involved, then..."

"No hurries."

Zhang Heming snorted coldly and said: "At this time, the intention of targeting Hong Chengchou is too obvious. It is easy to make Hong Chengchou realize his interests. Didn't Yuan Keli want to check Yi Zhuan? Okay, that book The officer asked him to investigate carefully, and the water in the Ministry of War was much deeper than he thought!"

Divert trouble to the east!

At this moment, the man knew what his right servant meant.

Yes.

A lot of things have happened in the capital and Gyeonggi recently. The emperor arrested many people in the court and local areas, and executed many people. But relatively speaking, this also stimulated more people!

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty was bottomless.

If the atmosphere in the officialdom could be reversed by arresting and killing some people, wouldn't all the previous fights become a big joke?

"Come here, there is something you need to do right now..."

While the man was thinking about it, Zhang Heming seemed to have made some determination, stretched out his hand and said to the man. As the man stepped forward, his expression became wonderful after hearing what Zhang Heming said.

……

"This person, if he is used to the heretical ways and gets used to it, then his mind will follow him."

Compared with everything outside the palace, in the Qianqing Palace at that time, Zhu Youxiao looked a little emotional, looking up at the starry sky, "I sometimes wonder, if people in the Ming Dynasty, especially those in high positions, If everyone can be less calculating, maybe Ming Dynasty will not be as virtuous as before!"

"Brother Emperor, are you thinking too much?"

Zhu Youjian seemed a little hesitant, looked at his royal brother and said: "After what happened before, the civil and military groups in the court should have stopped. After all, even Li Chengzuo's title was deprived by your decree. This pair of government and opposition parties The shock of time..."

"Is that what you think?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and interrupted Zhu Youjian's words.

"Yes Yes."

Zhu Youjian said hesitantly.

No wonder you have been deceived

Zhu Youxiao sighed with emotion. Zhu Youxiao was very clear about the virtues of the civil servants. The things he had done before, including the promotion of a group of military generals, seemed to be a big deterrent to foreign countries, and also made many people It has stopped, but who knows what they are planning behind the scenes?

How can you give in when interests are involved?

Especially in the dispute between imperial power and ministerial power, no matter who is an official in the government or which faction is in power, they will not compromise easily.

After all, they have been influenced by Confucianism for a long time, and some ideas and concepts are deeply ingrained. This cannot be corrected by killing many people.

For example, co-ruling the world with scholar-bureaucrats is a glory that many people have always wanted to restore deep in their hearts. Especially those vested interest groups in the southeastern provinces dreamed of restoring it in the Ming Dynasty!

"My dear brother, you still look at the problem too superficially."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe sleeves and said: "If the court is as simple as you think, then the Ming Dynasty will not be as chaotic as it is now. Just wait, I believe that it won't be long before there will be a new disturbance. And if I dare to make any mistakes during this process, the results achieved previously will be ruined in an instant!"

Zhu Youxiao knew that the current Ming Dynasty lurked many hidden dangers and contradictions, especially the substantive issue of the dispute between the North and the South, which had not been resolved. The turbulence caused by this was difficult to predict, but even so, Zhu Youxiao He must also firmly follow the path he thinks is right, after all, he has no choice! !
