Chapter 29 Section 7 Where there are people's hearts, there are party disputes

He Ruchong completely terminated the trip, turned around and went home. Because Chongzhen did punish Huang Shaojie and demoted him. He Ruchong knew that Huang Shaojie left because of him. In this world, leaving people is a common occurrence. Huang Shaojie hoped that Chongzhen would ask Wen Tiren to leave, but Chongzhen let him leave. Originally, Chongzhen hoped that He Ruchong would come to Beijing, but He Ruchong chose to leave when he was halfway. People who should go don't go, and people who shouldn't go go, and all the officials sighed. People who should go don't go, but people who shouldn't go go, Wen Tiren is secretly happy.

As long as the first assistant's position remains empty, it will be Wen Tiren's victory. If there is another person in the cabinet who ranks above Wen Tiren, isn't he the de facto Chief Assistant? Although it is said that if the name is not right, the words will not go well, but there are too many things in this world where the words are not right if the name is not right. Existence is truth. Wen Tiren must grasp the truth.In fact, in Daming today, only Wen Tiren can grasp the truth - with him in the cabinet, who would dare to come over to be the chief assistant? ! But—Wen Tiren suddenly felt a bit of timidity: how long can the emperor tolerate my domineering?It is the emperor's will to call He Ruchong to Beijing, and now my arrogance has failed the emperor's will, He Ruchong dare not enter Beijing, which makes the emperor very embarrassed, I... am I looking for death?Thinking of this, Wen Tiren's sweat immediately came down.And at this moment, Chongzhen talked to Wen Tiren.

Said it was a conversation, but Chongzhen didn't say a word. In many cases, not saying a word is more terrifying than talking. Eloquence is a lively expression of a certain idea, while silence is a manifestation of hiding a certain idea. It is definitely not a good thing for an emperor to say nothing... Chongzhen shrank behind a huge shadow, like a big lazy cat.Don't think this cat is careless, but once he gets mad, he is much more powerful than a tiger. Why don't you spoil me, what do you think about the cabinet matter? Chongzhen suddenly said such a sentence without thinking.

Everything is done according to the emperor's will. Wen Tiren dealt with it carefully, not daring to say a word wrong. Do what I mean?I asked He Ruchong to come to Beijing, but he didn't come, tell me what's going on? How do you like to resist the decree, the minister thinks that he has no sage, should...should... What should be? It should be strictly enforced. Chongzhen came out from behind the huge shadow, and walked up to Wen Tiren: Severe punishment?You mean kill him? There is no saint in sight, and sin cannot be forgiven. Chongzhen took two more steps: Then kill him, who will be the chief assistant in the cabinet?

Wen Tiren: Everything will be done according to the emperor's wishes. Chongzhen looked back at him: In my opinion, let's do as you want. Wen Tiren immediately knelt down: I... I dare not. Chongzhen: Mr. Wen is too modest. You said that besides you, who would dare to come forward to be the chief assistant in the current cabinet? Wen Tiren was horrified: Your Majesty, I request you to resign from the position of assistant and leave the cabinet to pave the way for someone capable! Chongzhen sneered: Do you think capable people pave the way?A capable person should fight his way out!But why is he so spoiled? He is not a capable person, but a softie!Soft egg!I... I was wrong... But I, Daming, where is the capable man?

Wen Tiren: Your Majesty, the eternal sage, can cast his votes from all over the world... Chongzhen: The eternal sage?If I were the emperor of the ages, your head would have moved a long time ago! Wen Tiren: ... Chongzhen: How can there be talented people in Ming Dynasty?Besides you, Wen Tiren, who is a capable person, who else is a capable person? ! Wen Tiren: ... Chongzhen: Therefore, you must be the chief assistant of the cabinet! Wen Tiren couldn't believe his ears: what the emperor said... really? Chongzhen sighed: I was also forced to go to Liangshan, there is no way.You, Wen Tiren, have engaged in party disputes, but I, Daming, really cannot do without you.Who told you that you are... a capable person!

Wen Tiren was moved and said: Your Majesty, Tiren... feel ashamed! Chongzhen: I understand the imperial court.After Zhou Yanru went, the party struggle still lingered.If you went to Wen Tiren, would the faction disappear?Impossible, absolutely impossible!Partisanship is still alive and well.Every day you say long live the emperor, long live, long live, but in my opinion, this faction has a much longer life than the emperor.From ancient times to the present, has any emperor been 10,000 years old?No, none over a hundred years old!On the contrary, party struggles have lasted through the ages!Where there are people's hearts, there will be party disputes!I figured it out.In the past two days, there are people looking for trouble every day, wanting to get rid of you Wen Tiren, do you think they are all loyal to the country?wrong!Behind this, Zhou Yanru, an old man, is manipulating it!Including He Ruchong, who competed among hundreds of officials overnight, how could he be so good, so that all officials could be so united overnight?Isn't Zhou Yanru playing tricks? !Do you want someone surnamed He to come up and press you down?If the imperial court let them do this, wouldn't it be too bad and rotten?ah? !Therefore, I must not let them succeed!I want them to know that this world is still my Chongzhen's world, not his Zhou Yanru's!If you want to fight with me, there is no door! ...

Amidst Chongzhen's devoted chatter, Wen Tiren seemed to clearly see the psychological trajectory of an emperor distorted by power and desire.This is the most unknown psychological labyrinth of an emperor. Wen Tiren didn't know how he got in, let alone how to get out.The emperor brought him to such a place, seemed to be considerate to him, and showed him everything that a courtier should not see. Is this a blessing or a curse?Will the emperor be considerate to him forever?Wen Tiren wasn't sure.All he knew was that he had become the chief assistant of the cabinet amidst the emperor's thousand twists and turns.This also means that from now on, he will undoubtedly become a thorn in the side of the officials, and his only backer is this unreasonable, suspicious and conceited emperor——Emperor Chongzhen.

What will happen to his life? Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the cabinet, realized the truth from Zhou Yanru's ghost incident that has been resigned: a dog in the water must be beaten hard, not only beaten hard, but also killed. So in today's world, besides Zhou Yanru, who else is a dog in the water? Qian Qianyi is definitely one of them. Wen Tiren knew in his heart: this is a wronged dog.The so-called money party and so on, he knows exactly what is going on. If a person has grievances in his heart, he must have hatred! Qian Qianyi's comeback is unknown. If a person has grievances in his heart, others will feel sorry for him.The officials of the Ming Dynasty were all aware of it - everyone knew how Qian Qianyi was put down by Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru back then.

So Qian Qianyi cannot exist.His existence will become a warning, a banner-the so-called "put to death and then live", means to put the enemy to death and then oneself can live. Qian Qianyi has been living in his hometown Changshu for seven years.He thought he could die of old age in his hometown - in such an era, dying of old age in his hometown is also a kind of happiness! But one day, Zhang Hanru, the master of the Changshu County Yamen, sued him for an imperial certificate.Zhang Hanru is worthy of being a good hand among the masters. When he wrote the imperial certificate, he really turned a pen into a knife, extremely sharp.Master Zhang said that Qian Qianyi and his protégé Qu Shixu lived in the countryside illegally, used the power of talents to advance and retreat, and held the handle of life and death in the south of the Yangtze River.

Soon, Qian Qianyi and Qu Shixu were arrested.After being arrested, Qian Qianyi finally realized that this is Wen Tiren's future settlement. It has been seven years, a full seven years, and Wen Tiren's death-defying knife still pierced obliquely from the distant capital, reaching Qian Qianyi's life gate . In such an era, it is really a kind of happiness to die at home!Qian Qianyi had mixed feelings. In prison, Qian Qianyi went to the two schools to tell the emperor Wen Tiren's sinister intentions, but Chongzhen ignored him.Immediately afterwards, Zhang Guowei, the governor of Jiangsu, and Lu Zhenfei, the inspector, also went to Shushu to complain for Qian Qianyi and others, but Chongzhen still ignored them. The emperor is still too prejudiced!Does the emperor really not know that it is none other than Wen Tiren, the chief assistant of the current cabinet, who is really engaged in the party struggle?Is it really as the people in the capital said-Emperor Chongzhen was plagued (warm)? But how could an emperor suffer from plague?Qian Qianyi suddenly felt that Wen Tiren must have tampered with it.So, what can a chief minister of the cabinet do between the emperor and his target of revenge? Memorial!There must be something wrong with the play!Qian Qianyi suddenly became enlightened and joined the cabinet. Whether or not to vote and how to vote, there are many articles in it!With the old fox Wen Tiren in the cabinet, how can the emperor see his memorials?How can the emperor accurately grasp his situation? Qian Qianyi decided to find another way.In prison, he entrusted the son of his mentor Sun Chengzong to seek help from the eunuch Cao Huachun, the supervisor of rites, and asked Cao to find a way to meet the emperor to avenge his grievances. Qian Qianyi believes that although he is in trouble now, Cao Huachun will not refuse to save him. Because Qian Qianyi once wrote an inscription for Wang An, the former eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies, and he was considered an old friend of Wang An.However, Cao Huachun came from Wang An's family, and because of emotion and reason, Cao Huachun could not just leave him dead. Another very important point is that the supervisor and the cabinet have always been at odds with each other. They are jealous of each other's power and try to find each other all day long.Now if Qian Qianyi's case involves partisanship in the cabinet, the Supervisor of Lili will be happy to see it succeed.In public and private, Cao Huachun can't ignore death. But Cao Huachun hesitated. Seeing death and not saving him, etc., are all high-sounding rhetoric.The crux of the problem is that when Wen Tiren and his family are in full swing, if they can't bring him down, it means that Cao Huachun himself will be brought down. Because standing in the middle is Qian Qianyi.Qian Qianyi's party harmed the imperial court, which was the emperor's conclusion many years ago.If you intervene rashly, if you don't make it right, you will become a new member of the Qian Party. So in the final analysis, between him and Wen Tiren is a tug-of-war game, the stronger one wins, that's all.As long as Wen Tiren doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, he won't pull it out easily. But Wen Tiren took the initiative to provoke. Qian Qianyi's every move is warm and benevolent, and he is also very clear that Qian Qianyi asked Cao Huachun for help.Wen Tiren believed that Cao Huachun would definitely attack. If it is an individual, it will attack. Although the eunuch Cao Huachun is not a very complete person. If he doesn't move, I won't move; if he wants to move, I will move first. Wen Tiren decided to strike first.He instigated Chen Lvqian to fabricate rumors and posted anonymous posts, saying that Qian Qianyi had drawn Cao Huachun to attack Wen Tiren, and then asked Wang Fan to come forward, falsely accusing Qian Qianyi of giving 40,000 taels of silver and entrusting Zhou Yingbi to ask Cao Huachun for help.Wen Tiren's move is intended to kill two birds with one stone. While bringing down Qian Qianyi, he also brought down Cao Huachun. Cao Huachun finally attacked. In fact, it's okay not to attack, because Wen Tiren is going to set the company on fire!He took the initiative to ask Chongzhen for an order, expressing that he would thoroughly investigate the case.Chongzhen agreed quietly. In fact, Chongzhen never believed anyone, not even himself.Although at some point, he was a very confident emperor. He felt that it would be good to check and find out everything, so that everyone would be clear and clean. The truth soon became clear.Chen Luqian made a confession: Zhang Hanru sued Qian Qianyi, Wang Fan turned himself in and framed Qian Qianyi, and he fabricated rumors that Qian Qianyi wooed Cao Huachun to attack Wen Tiren, all of which were carefully planned by one person.This person is Wen Tiren. This person is Wen Tiren... This person is Wen Tiren... Chongzhen took over Cao Huachun's reconnaissance report and remained silent - he had to think carefully about how to deal with Wen Tiren, the person who made him sad again and again. He is not surprised that Wen Tiren engages in party disputes. What is unexpected is that Wen Tiren engages in party disputes against an old man who has left politics for many years and has no intention of pursuing an official career. It's over, everyone who should leave has already left, what else does he want to do?Do you want to be the emperor?Wen Tiren slaughtered a person like Qian Qianyi who had no threat at all, and the blade swept across the eunuch Cao Huachun, the supervisor of ceremonies. The prison is what I use to supervise your cabinet, don't you want to get rid of my supervision?Wolf ambition, wolf ambition! Chongzhen finally figured it out. In this world, having both ability and political integrity is the most important word, and it is also an inseparable word. Wen Tiren dismantled these four characters - how can he have any virtue, he is repaying virtue with resentment! Yes, he is talented, but the more talented a person without virtue is, the more dangerous he is-it is not scary to be without virtue and talent, but to be afraid of having talent without virtue! Chongzhen thought angrily: His grandma's, I fell in love with his talent, he fell in love with my seat, this is completely an unequal transaction. Daming can say no!The emperor of Ming Dynasty can even say no!The Ming Dynasty can live without the chief minister of the cabinet, but it cannot live without the emperor!Because this country belongs to the emperor and will always belong to the emperor. Now, this man surnamed Wen can open the way, the farther away from me the better.I don't kill you, I want you to die in shame.You will kill your heart, so will I. An imperial decree from Chongzhen completely got rid of all administrative relations between him and this man.God knows whether Wen Tiren has been punished, but it is true that he is a little depressed.Wen Tiren died of illness at home in the second year after being deposed.Chongzhen let out a long breath, feeling that in Daming, he could still control everything.At least, he can control the fate of everyone, from Wei Zhongxian and Yuan Chonghuan in the distance, to Wen Tiren in the near one. But, can I control the fate of the country?In the dead of night, Chongzhen would secretly think this way.Chongzhen at this time was an unconfident Chongzhen. It is no wonder that he is not confident, because in the northwest, where there is a lot of loess and has been drought for ten years, it has been a little bit ready to move in the past two years.Will they succeed?Maybe, maybe not, but the Emperor Shengzu was successful. Everything depends on the fate of the country and the hearts of the people.So, can I control the fate of the country and the hearts of the people?The problem is back to the original old problem.Chongzhen affirms and denies, negates and affirms, just like a philosopher who is diligent in thinking but indecisive, he can never give an accurate answer.
