Chapter 100 West Wind Urges Customers to Go (5)

Before Zhu Cixuan left the palace, he had a major leisure activity, which was to find the historical celebrities he remembered from the newspaper, look at their life trajectories, and even birth, old age, sickness and death. Gradually, he found that many people were different from the records in history books, and were very different from the images in TV series.

What made him even more confused was that even though he knew that a famous general was the fate of dying on the battlefield, he could not change it at all. One was that his own power was limited and even his concubines could not prevail, let alone a young boy. The other was that reality was full of twists and turns, the sun was shining the previous moment, and the thunder and heavy rainstorms were the next moment. As a non-historical liberal arts student, how could Zhu Cilang know so many twists and turns hidden in the old paper?

He once was very fond of Lu Xiangsheng and was worried about this loyal and brave minister, but Governor Lu died in battle when Zhu Cixuan thought something was most unlikely.

He also hoped that Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao could get rid of his fate, and even begged Chongzhen to stay for a few more days when the two generals returned to Beijing to explain military tactics to him. However, Chongzhen sneered and asked him to study hard and practice calligraphy. It would be too late to learn military tactics a few years later.

As a result, General Cao, both big and small, didn't know that the East Palace once hoped to meet them until he died in battle.

After several helplessness, the prince finally got hurt.

Zhu Cilang quickly understood that it is not impossible to go against the will of heaven and change one's fate, but he must not act recklessly. Only by devoted himself to history and following the general trend can he take action at critical moments and turn the world around. If he is just a cold-eyed spectator, even if he takes Baidu to travel over, he will not think about anything.

Zhu Cixuan's super learning ability and adaptability quickly changed his thinking and adjusted his position. He first considered the problem as the crown prince, and then examined his behavior from the perspective of the emperor. When Zhu Cixuan heard his sick brother say to His Majesty, "The Bodhisattva Jiulian said that Your Majesty was too harsh to treat relatives with his relatives, so his child was difficult..." His first reaction was: Even if this kid was not sick, he must die prematurely.

After discovering that he had subconsciously had this idea, Zhu Cilang finally confirmed that he had integrated into "history" and became an "ancient man".

As a living imperial minister, the first principle is: don't go against the emperor.

In fact, it is the same in any dynasty.

Facts have proved that you should not go against the ruler outside, and you should not go against your wife at home. Only those who do these two things can live a healthy and long life without disasters.

Wu Cixuan was a criminal appointed by the emperor. Although the charges were a little vague, let alone any evidence. If you look at them from a professional legal perspective, it would be ridiculous. However, as the crown prince, Zhu Cixuan, as a son, cannot discuss the faults of his father, and as a subject, he cannot discuss the faults of the lord, so the best way to deal with them is to remain silent.

"Among the auxiliary ministers, Wu Da, Jiang Dejing and Huang Jingfang were both prime ministers. Jiang Dejing was good at managing finances and managing soldiers. Huang Jingfang had the ability to know people and use people." Feng Yuanbiao tried hard to calm his breath and said, "Only Wu Da has great talents."

"It was Mr. Feng who recommended Wu Yan to Zhou Yanru that day." Zhu Cixuan said.

Feng Yuanbiao felt a bump in his heart and coughed again.

This is a proof of the complexity of the officialdom.

When Feng Yuanbiao was in Yanlu, he was extremely unfriendly with Zhou Yanru and could be regarded as a political enemy.

In the 14th year of Chongzhen, Zhou Yanru became the chief minister and wanted to "re-capture" Feng Quan. Feng Quan was a famous eunuch party and decided to "speak to the disciples" on the same day. Later, he redeemed for the people. At that time, most of the spoken language in the court were old friends in Donglin, and Zhou Yanru wanted to reverse the case for Feng Quan. The pressure was imaginable.

However, Feng Quan and Feng Yuanbiao are the same clan, and Feng Yuanbiao hopes that Feng Quan can recover. He advised Zhou Yanru and used Wu Qi as a helper to disperse the pressure. Zhou Yanru wanted to make a good relationship with Donglin at that time, so he agreed to Wu Qi join the cabinet. Because Wu Qi was also a very famous person in the court at this time, he once benefited from the ** star, one of the "Three Lords" of Donglin. He also benefited from another "one king" Zou Yuanbiao.

Unexpectedly, after Wu Qing entered the cabinet, he did not agree to Feng Quan's restoration, so he directly found Fu Shuxun, the Minister of Revenue at the time, and rejected Feng Quan's restoration. Later, Zhou Yanru wanted to use Zhang Jie as the commander of the Right Command of Nanjing, but was also blocked by Wu Qing. Therefore, he completely split into two parties.

When Wu Yan first entered the cabinet, he must have known that Zhou Yanru wanted to use Feng Quan's resumption as a bargaining chip. - The cabinet's auxiliary minister is not worthless, it is unreasonable that others will give it to you for nothing.

After entering the cabinet, Wu Yan took power and refused to admit it, so he directly cheated Feng Yuanbiao, who recommended him.

As usual, it would be nice if Feng Yuanbiao didn't take advantage of the situation and he actually asked the prince to rescue Wu Yan, which was a bit abnormal.

Zhu Cixuan pointed out the past of the two, which was really helpless. Even with his experience and cognition, I don’t know why Feng Yuanbiao wanted to recommend Wu Yan.

Zhu Cixuan looked at Li Banghua and suddenly realized: "Is it because of Donglin?"

If Li Banghua, Feng Yuanbiao and Wu Yan have any common labels, then there is only Donglin. Although Li Banghua has never admitted that he is a Donglin Party member and expressed his disagreement with many of the Donglin Party members' policies and practices, he is Zou Yuanbiao's personal disciple and cannot deny it.

Although Feng Yuanbiao's resume does not have the Donglin mark, he is from Cixi, Zhejiang, and his father Feng Ruoyu is the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple in Nanjing. These two lines alone are filled with a strong atmosphere of the Southern Party.

Li Banghua said helplessly: "Where is Donglin in the world? Your Highness uses people and the authorities measure the size of their talents. They should not use the party to win people, and they will destroy talents because of the people."

Indeed, there is only the name of Donglin but not the reality of Donglin. The scholars of Jiangnan gathered under Fushe for a time, hoping to continue the righteousness of Donglin, but once Zhang Pu died, no one could carry this banner again and eventually became an entertainment club for talented men and beautiful women.

Zhu Cilang remembered that Shen Tingyang also had a close relationship with Fushe, and smiled and said, "I was too concerned and misunderstood the two gentlemen."

"There is no strong person in the East Palace curtain." Feng Yuanbiao said helplessly: "I recommend Wu Qi, indeed out of justice."

Zhu Cilang felt even more guilty when Feng Yuanbiao said it. He knew very well that Wu Yan's talent was indeed the prime minister. In the outer residence of the East Palace, Liu Ruoyu could see a Forbidden City, while Wu Weiye could only see an office, but as the prince, he still needed a real prime minister who could see the world from a bird's eye view.

Now the chief assistant Chen Yan is a mediocre person; Jiang Dejing is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, so it is impossible for him to follow the prince to Luoyang; Huang Jingfang is already strongly demanding retirement; although Wei Zaode was the top scholar in Chongzhen for the third year, he is also full of grass embroidered pillows. If he could pull Wu Yan out of the imperial prison, he would be impossible for him to return to the prefect, but he could be called the prince's guest and walk in the curtain of the East Palace.

"Two gentlemen," Zhu Cixuan said after hearing this: "As a son, I dare not have any rebellion with the emperor's father. Wu Qi is the mastermind, and is it really worth my guilt?"

"Your Highness is pure filial piety, and the world sees it." Feng Yuanbiao took a breath and said firmly: "However, the prime minister's talent was not born in the world. Wu Qing wasted his talent and wasted his imprisonment. It was a pity for the world."

"Wu Yan can really save the world?"

"As long as Wu Yan is willing to do it, there is absolutely nothing that cannot be done." Feng Yuanbiao coughed twice again: "I think he is comparable to one person."

"Who?"

"The Chief Auxiliary of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng of Jiangling." Feng Yuanbiao pressed his lungs and said loudly: "Your Highness wants to accomplish great things, he should have his help."

After Zhang Juzheng's death, his house was searched, which was not the best example for the Ming ministers. However, his practice of taking the exam during his tenure did make the Ming Dynasty, which once again exude vitality and potential. No matter how good his personal character is, no one can question his talents. Feng Yuanbiao compared Wu Yan to Zhang Juzheng, which can be said to be a very high praise.

Zhu Cilang is already past the age of chasing stars, and he pays more attention to improving his overall strength. However, it is indeed a pity to see a king Zuozhi being on the side but not being able to get him into the trap.

"I have always had the praise of the gods," Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "I will follow the good and go to ask the emperor for people!"

When Li Banghua heard this, the wrinkles on his face also smiled a lot and said, "Wu Yan is a stubborn person. If Your Highness really wants to accept him, he should go and see him in person."

"If it is really a talented person of Wang Zuo, I will naturally go to the imperial prison to welcome him in person." Zhu Cixuan said: "At that time, I will also thank you for your two gentlemen for recommending good talents and helping me with great strength."

Feng Yuanbiao knew that he was taking great risks by recommending someone so strongly. Once Wu Yan confessed to the crown prince in the future, it would be inevitable that he would implicate him.

Thinking about his illness, he had written several memorials to request retirement. The last thing he could do for the court was to recommend a few good people. In his memorials, he had already recommended Li Banghua or Shi Kefa to take over as Minister of War, but he had not yet approved it. The last time he talked to the prince about this matter, the prince did not argue. If Wu was to use it, he would have no concerns about the affairs of the Ministry of War.
