Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The chaos in the Ming Dynasty is an established fact. This is a complex national situation from "top down, bottom up". Simply setting off a few arrests and executions cannot solve the fundamental problem.

After all, there are too many vested interest groups who want to move up. This is directly caused by the solidification of classes. If you want to solve the problems at hand, you must go through continuous purges. During this period, it will be accompanied by interest channeling and redistribution. It can ensure that Ming Dynasty seeks stability in chaos and does not shake the foundation of Ming Dynasty's rule!

What Zhu Youxiao is doing now is to continue to disrupt the situation on the one hand, and on the other hand to clarify the plans and arrangements that must be firmly implemented in the chaos. This is a too heavy test for Zhu Youxiao. If any link breaks down during this period, This will inevitably lead to further deterioration of the situation.

But the situation and environment he was in forced Zhu Youxiao to do this, because other than this choice, there was no possibility of saving Ming Dynasty.

Ministry of War.

The left minister's office.

"Dong Weng, it's not too late to regret now."

The middle-aged man in green clothes held a bamboo fan and sat firmly on the official hat chair. He looked at Hong Chengchou who had his eyes closed and was concentrating. He frowned slightly and said: "If your impeachment memorial is really sent to the imperial court, I'm afraid it won't only be the Ministry of War that will cause a big commotion." , there will even be a big commotion in the entire court, and then you will become the target of public criticism."

"What's more, this matter also involves Yan Mingtai. The fact that this person can take the position of left minister of the Ministry of War has a lot to do with Wei Zhongxian."

"Even if Wei Zhongxian is showing some signs of being excluded from the inner court, haven't you noticed that His Majesty's attitude towards Wei Zhongxian is very subtle?"

"How could I not notice this?"

Hong Chengchou slowly opened his eyes and said in a low tone: "Even with the strong rise of Fang Zhenghua in the inner court, the West Jishi Factory under his supervision has long overshadowed the Dong Jishi Factory, but Wei Zhongxian's foundation has not been shaken."

"If His Majesty does not trust Wei Zhongxian, then the West Police Factory led by Founder Zhenghua disappeared in Beijing amidst the commotion for unknown reasons, and many aftermath matters involved will not be left to Wei Zhongxian and others to handle."

"Dong Weng, since you understand this, why do you do this?"

The middle-aged man in Qingyi frowned and said: "The current chaos in the court has even surpassed that of the Wanli Dynasty and even the Taichang Dynasty. If we make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Because I have no choice."

Hong Chengchou narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "My promotion to Minister of War, Zuo Shilang, depends entirely on His Majesty's strong opposition. Since I came to Beijing to take up my post, how many things have happened in this court, this capital, and this capital?"

"Why hasn't your Majesty summoned me? Even though I've asked for permission many times, there has been no news in the end. Haven't you noticed?"

The emperor is waiting for Dong Weng's attitude.

The middle-aged man in Qingyi did not say this. In fact, he had thought about it from the beginning, but the current situation in the court was so chaotic that he did not know how to advise Hong Chengchou.

The source of all this is the emperor who lives deep in the Forbidden City.

If you want to get a glimpse of the truth, you must figure out what the emperor is thinking.

But the key to the problem now is that there is no chance to figure out what the emperor is thinking in his heart!

"After receiving the imperial edict, I wanted to understand one thing."

Hong Chengchou lifted his robe and stood up, looked at the middle-aged man in Qingyi and said: "Since you have chosen to do some things, you should not look forward or backward. When you were an official in Zhejiang, all the things you and I saw were already the norm. "

"After arriving in the capital, I found that Your Majesty has changed. Your Majesty wants to work hard to change the corruption and disgrace in the Ming Dynasty."

"I have been studying hard for more than ten years, and I was lucky enough to be named in the gold medal and enter the official career. In fact, what I want is not to be an official, but to win a first-class reputation that will last forever. In the past, if there was no such opportunity, then I could only hide my clumsiness, but Now that the opportunity has come, do you think I will give up?"

"Now that Dong Weng has made up his mind, let's do it."

The middle-aged man in Tsing Yi stood up and saluted Hong Chengchou solemnly: "Although I am not talented and have not made any achievements in the imperial examination, I have learned all my life and I am willing to help Dong Weng solve his problems!"

"Zizhong, it's not that you don't have a chance to be named on the gold list, it's just that your heart no longer takes the imperial examination."

Hong Chengchou smiled and walked forward to help the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi, "Maybe one day, the Ming Dynasty really changed, and that Zizhong might change his mind."

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou rolled up his robe sleeves and walked out of the hall with his head held high. Looking at Hong Chengchou's leaving back, the middle-aged man in green showed a complicated expression on his face.

The continuous party struggle not only corrupted the atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom, but also corrupted the atmosphere among scholars. The wind of empty talk and the wind of despair affected too many scholars.

But this is the case among scholars, so what do other groups in the Ming Dynasty think and do?

Behind the seemingly stable situation of Ming Dynasty, there are actually too many undercurrents hidden, and these undercurrents are pushing Ming Dynasty towards a path of no return.

The Ming Dynasty has really reached the cliff. If there is no change, it will eventually enter the abyss as time goes by!

……

"Okay! Okay!! It really opened my eyes!!"

Zhu Youxiao's angry voice sounded in Dongnuan Pavilion.

Liu Ruoyu, who was serving in front of the emperor, had his head lowered at the moment and did not dare to move at all. He did not know why his emperor was so angry after reading the memorial submitted by Hong Chengchou.

But Liu Ruoyu knew one thing clearly. Once the memorial submitted by Hong Chengchou spread in the court, it would definitely cause an uproar.

"I really didn't expect that the Ministry of War would hide so many tricks!!"

Zhu Youxiao threw the memorial in his hand angrily and said with sharp eyes: "Go and summon Hong Chengchou to see me!!"

"Slave, go now."

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly lowered his head and responded, then quickly ran out of the palace.

I must have used Hong Chengchou's sharp sword correctly.

Looking at Liu Ruoyu's leaving figure, Zhu Youxiao suppressed the anger in his heart. Thinking of what Hong Chengchou found out at the Ministry of War, Zhu Youxiao was secretly grateful.

He had not summoned Hong Chengchou before, just to tell Hong Chengchou that if he wanted to be summoned by him, he had to have something he could offer.

Otherwise, why would you, Hong Chengchou, be asked to take the position of Minister of the Left at the Ministry of War?

Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged people are easy to find, let alone those who want to be officials. There is no shortage of officials in the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the memorial submitted by Hong Chengchou not only brought surprise to Zhu Youxiao, but also brought shock and anger. Fortunately, it was revealed before the imperial commander's personal expedition. If he hadn't cleaned up these before his personal expedition. If so, I know what kind of trouble will happen after he leaves Beijing!
