.    ian lips.

    "When the emperor goes out to greet ministers like this, will he lose his etiquette?"

    Deep in the Forbidden City, the Emperor of Heaven, Zhu Youjian, was standing outside the platform, seemingly waiting for someone.

    But when he heard the word "ritual", Zhu Youjian's face darkened next to Wang Chengen.  Hearing these two words said by Wang Chengen, Zhu Youjian immediately thought of the officials who kept making memorials and insulted him in every possible way in the name of "rituals", and subconsciously frowned.  Unconsciously, the young emperor's face showed some anger, and he turned to glare at the speaker next to him.

    After a long time, Chongzhen realized that the speaker was Wang Chengen, the eunuch who had been following him since childhood, and the clouds on his face gradually dissipated.

    "Wang Cheng'en, the word etiquette should not be mentioned in the inner court from now on."

    There were tens of thousands of people in the Ming Dynasty, but there was only one emperor. It was not easy to manage.  This supreme imperial power was to be radiated to millions of people through two channels: the front court and the back court.  The so-called front court most often refers to the early dynasty, which was a highly institutionalized and ritualized court.  The location is in the first three halls of the Forbidden City.  The back court is where the emperor handles memorials and conducts state affairs, and there is no too rigid system.

    Emperor Wanli was demoted by the civil servants to not go to court for thirty years. As a result, a large number of civil servants resigned in anger, and many civil servant positions were left unfilled.  But in fact, Wanli just refused to go to the front court and resisted the coercion of civil officials.  The inner court of the Wanli Dynasty has always been running well.  The eunuchs and trusted officials managed the huge empire, which not only ran well but also won three major conquests.

    The Ming Dynasty in the Wanli era suppressed the Mongols to the north, defeated the Japanese to the east, and annexed the Southwest Jisi Chieftain to the south.  Although he failed to defeat the civil servants and let his youngest son inherit his throne, Wanli did leave a large amount of money to Guangzong when he died.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  It can be seen that this early dynasty and these civil servants are by no means a group of people who want to strengthen the country and enrich the people.

    In the era of Wanli, Nurhachi was simply a small tribal leader who was not on the stage.  Even in the Age of Apocalypse, the old thief Nurhaci never threatened the foundation of the Central Plains Empire.  In any case, there are only more than 200,000 Jurchens in Jianzhou.  But after Chongzhen killed Wei Zhongxian and re-appointed the Donglin Party, Huang Taiji, the leader of 200,000 people, who may not have as many people as a county magistrate in the Ming Dynasty, immediately broke through the Great Wall and attacked the city of Beijing.

    Although Chongzhen was young and never became emperor, he still

    Not stupid.  Check and check.  He discovered that the problem lay with the Donglin Party, and it was Yuan Chonghuan who was strongly recommended by the Donglin Party to support the Tatars.  Although later Manchus overturned Yuan Chonghuan's verdict, in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Manchus had no objection to Yuan Chonghuan's money transfer to the Tatars.

    Because of Yuan Chonghuan¡¯s incident, Chongzhen no longer dared to reuse the Donglin Party.  And once the Donglin Party was not reused, the abuses from Donglin Yanguan immediately came like a storm.  In the past two years, Chongzhen became angry when he heard the word etiquette.

    "You should not imitate Cao Huachun and say such useless things."

    "Those empty words and absurd remarks made by rotten Confucians are all harmful to the country and the people! It's okay not to mention them in the inner court!"

    Wang Chengen secretly glanced at the emperor's face and knew that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Wang Chengen knows."

    The Zhu Youjian of the sixth year of Chongzhen is no longer the Zhu Youjian of the first year of Chongzhen.  At this time, while Chongzhen was appeasing the extremely powerful Donglin Party, he was also actively building a Ming Dynasty that would be free of party members.  Nowadays, all the important ministers he has promoted and promoted have drawn a clear line with the Donglin Party.  Although Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet, also formed a party for personal gain, as long as he did not align with the Donglin Party, he would not threaten Chongzhen's imperial power.

    Chongzhen also needed the faction of Zhou Yanru, the chief minister of the cabinet, to defend him against the hail of bullets from the Donglin Party.  Therefore, he tolerated Zhou Yan's Confucianism and cliques, and his greed for personal gain.

    The second assistant to the cabinet is the bachelor of Dongge University.  Wen Tiren, a Jinshi in the 26th year of Wanli, was the person Zhu Youjian really wanted to reuse.

    Not for anything else, just because Wen Tiren has always been neither party nor group.

    In the Ming Dynasty, it was common practice for the emperor to summon important ministers to discuss national affairs.  Today Chongzhen summoned Wen Tiren on the platform.  Chongzhen not only summoned Wen Tiren, but also personally greeted him outside the platform.

    On the Yong Road, Wen Tiren, wearing the royal python robe, walked over.

    Wen Tiren lowered his head and thought about something along the way, and his feet felt heavy.  The road leading to the platform was originally a road that a minister should be proud of, but at this time he was walking a little hesitantly, as if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of ??fire in front of him, and it took great courage to step into it.  When he reached the end of the corridor, Wen Tiren raised his head and realized that the person standing on the platform was none other than the Emperor.

    The emperor standsHe argued vigorously in court discussions and fought for the emperor.

    If there is a court meeting tomorrow, Wen Tiren's suggestion will definitely be fully opposed by Donglin officials.  The last time Lu Ce was paid to send troops to quell the southwest, it was an emergency measure that he had no choice but to solve. If the Yi people's problem was not solved, Guangdong and Guangxi might be gone.  But things are different now. Although this way of purchasing ordnance can consolidate the foundation, those party members will not care about your fundamentals.  Those party members will not spit out the fat in their mouths until their lives are at stake.

    The power of the Donglin Party controls the government and public opinion.  You can be sued to death in court, or you can be scolded to death by public opinion among the people.  If pressed, the Donglin Party can make all the prostitutes in the brothel proud of scolding you.  This is all in name only, but secretly, the scholars don't know how many tricks they have left.

    This is a huge group, a social force, with huge manpower and material resources at its disposal.  Not a single bureaucrat, not even the emperor, can contend alone.  Back then, Emperor Tianqi cultivated such a large group of eunuchs to fight against Qingliu, but they all died after inexplicably taking the elixir. What does a Wen Tiren mean?

    It really takes a little courage to confront the Donglin Party.

    Looking at Wen Tiren¡¯s face, Chongzhen took a breath and gradually understood Wen Tiren¡¯s concerns.

    "Regarding this matter, I fully support Elder Wen. Does Elder Wen have any concerns?"

    Wen Tiren looked at Zhu Youjian and said nothing.

    The emperor gave his full support. If a common man outside the court heard this, he would probably feel that he had obtained Shang Fang's sword and could easily overcome all resistance.  But in fact, only after spending a few years in the Chongzhen Dynasty did I realize how powerless this sentence was.  You know, in order not to offend the civil servant group, Emperor Chongzhen even selected the first cabinet members through divination, that is, through drawing lots.

    How absurd and yet how realistic.

    Looking at the patches on his official robe, Wen Tiren sighed.  The so-called eating the emperor's salary is a matter of loyalty to the emperor.  Wen Tiren couldn't care less about what kind of traitor he would be scolded by the Donglin Party in the future, and he couldn't care less.  When the emperor sent Yang He to Gansu and Shaanxi to take charge of the recruitment of bandits, he knew that it was a dead end. Didn't the old man Yang He who believed in "gentlemen are different" just go like this in an upright manner?

    Since Wen Tiren wants to fulfill his lifelong ambition and become the second most loyal Duke of Zhang Wen, is there any other way besides the dangerous path of being loyal to him?  Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Wenzhong were so powerful that they dared to say loudly "Lan Fang is in power and we have to hoe" in the face of resistance from the civil servant group, but in the end it ended in tragedy.

    How can you take care of some things?

    Lifting his front, Wen Tiren stood up.

    "Wen Tiren dare not disappoint His Majesty. Tomorrow he will definitely argue with reason and argue with Donglin."
