    The news that Yueyang was very happy that his beloved son Chongzhen had a grandson soon spread throughout the capital. Many people wrote to express their congratulations to Chongzhen. However, since Yueyang had just offended most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he was the rightful owner.  On the contrary, no one came to congratulate him.  @ But Yue Yang doesn¡¯t care either. Yue Yang has already chosen to ignore these people.  Of course, it's not like there wasn't even a single person to congratulate him. This morning, two officials came to the Prince Consort's Mansion to congratulate him.  The capital is quite cold in winter. Two stoves were lit in the small living room in the front yard of the Prince Consort's Mansion, making the small living room as warm as spring. Yue Yang, wearing a python robe, sat at the head of the table, and two people sat on either side of him below him.  There were two middle-aged men wearing cyan and black casual clothes. One of them was Ma Shiying, the right servant of the Ministry of Personnel, who had just taken refuge in Yueyang.  I saw Ma Shiying cupping her hands towards Yue Yang and saying with a smile: "I'm here to congratulate Lord Marquis on the birth of his son. It's just a small gift, but I hope Lord Marquis will accept it!" After saying that, Ma Shiying held up a gift sheet with respectful hands.  Getting up, Yue Yang smiled slightly, and the maid who had been standing beside him took the gift list from Ma Shiying's hand and handed it to Yue Yang.  Yue Yang took the gift list and glanced at it lightly, then put it aside and smiled at Ma Shiying: "Master Ma is too polite, you can just come, what gifts do you need to bring!" Ma Shiying raised his hand and smiled: "Master Hou, this is  What are you talking about? Xiaguan also knows that a mere gift is not in the eyes of the Marquis. It is just a little thought of Xiaguan. But Brother Ji said that he could not come empty-handed for the first time, so he was prepared.  It's just a little gift, I hope the Marquis won't dislike it Oh Xiaguan hasn't had time to introduce it to the Marquis. This is Ruan Dacheng, Xiaguan's good friend. Since he has admired the Marquis for a long time, he came here today to pay homage to the Marquis.  "Master, listen to the teachings of the Marquis." "Are you Ruan Dacheng?" Yue Yang stared at the middle-aged man sitting on the lower right with a curious look.  "Exactly, late-born Ruan Dacheng has met the Marquis. I wish the Marquis good fortune and good health!" The middle-aged man stood up and gave a respectful salute to Yue Yang.  Ruan Dacheng is fifty-three years old today.  He has a Chinese-character face, a beard under his chin, and big, lively eyes. In short, he has a very positive appearance. Looking at Ruan Dacheng, Yue Yang quickly recalled his information in his heart.  Speaking of Ruan Dacheng, he is not a good guy. He turned out to be a "eunuch", that is, someone who followed the 9,000-year-old Wei Gonggong to make a living. After Emperor Chongzhen came to power, he reused a group of "qingliu" headed by Donglin party members.  After the Donglin Party members gain power, they will naturally not let go of those who are in conflict with them, and the "eunuch Party" who once robbed the Donglin Party of money and women will definitely be the first target. Of course, they talk nice.  What does it mean to rectify the source and eliminate adultery for the country? In fact, it means taking back the money and women that belong to you but do not belong to you.  This was originally a characteristic of the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. Every time a new force came to power, the first thing they did was to "attack local tyrants and divide their land."  Naturally, Ruan Dacheng, a member of the "eunuch" gang, did not get any good results. Because he was the target of being named and severely beaten, he had no choice but to go to Nanjing to hang out.  After arriving in Jinling, with Ruan Dacheng's popularity, naturally there were few people around him.  ??And Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying met in Jinling, when they were in decline.  Although the two depressed middle-aged men were not gangsters in the past, they still sympathized with each other as they were both "reduced from the world".  In addition, Ruan Dacheng still has some talent (Ruan Dacheng is good at poetry and has written many legends, including "Swallow Notes", "Spring Lantern Riddles", "Munihe", "Double Gold List", etc.) In the Ming Dynasty, which was originally poor in entertainment life,  Chao is also considered a master of entertainment.  The two of them got closer and closer as they hung out, and they probably all played tricks like cutting off chicken heads, burning yellow paper, and sworn sworn brothers.  Now that Ma Shiying has become the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Ruan Dacheng, an official fan, will naturally not miss this opportunity and immediately comes to ask his friends for help to rejoin the ranks of civil servants.  Although Ma Shiying wanted to help.  But now his own position is not very stable, and he is powerless and feels embarrassed if he wants to help.  He then said to Ruan Dacheng: Brother, you were once on the severe crackdown list. Does your position as an official have a greater impact?  I still relied on my previous connections and a lot of money to get into the civil service department, but I didn't even get a seat, so I was very embarrassed.  But I can show you the way. I have just taken refuge with a boss. As long as he agrees, there should be no problem in your reinstatement. So the two of them went to the Prince Consort's Mansion to visit Yue Yang.  Yue Yang was searching for information in his mind, and Ma Shiying felt a little anxious when he saw that Yue Yang was silent for a long time, thinking that he looked down on Ma Shiying, a companion with a criminal record, so he felt a little anxious and quickly said to Yue Yang: "Master Hou,  Although Brother Ji is a guilty man, he is also worried about the court. Today, he has come to see you because of his long-standing reputation. " Hearing this, Ruan Dacheng couldn't help but feel grateful and forgot about his good friend, and his eyes showed, "You are really good to me.  "Brother" look in his eyes, his good friend has said so many good things for him, if he stillIf something happens, you will only deserve to be abandoned.  He took a step forward and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, I have learned from you that Brother Yaocao has greatly rewarded you. Wansheng is just a man who is ready for crime, so he dare not thank Brother Yaocao for his praise, but Wansheng's heart of boxing for the country is a lesson to all. When Wansheng was in Jinling,  I often heard about Hou Ye's heroic feats of going out to annihilate the Jiannu slaves, especially the "Da Ming Times" founded by Hou Ye, which I must read every issue, especially "The Scholars" and "Lao Can's Travels" written by him.  The word "Zhuji" tells the story of the harsh world of officialdom. Every time I read the chapters of "Unjust injustices are buried in the city, the blood is stained with pearls, people are killed like thieves," and the prefect is Yuan Rong, I lament the pedantry of the officialdom and wish I could follow the Marquis.  Let¡¯s wipe out those incompetent people who have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty.¡± ¡°Hey this one is so good at talking.¡± Looking at Ruan Dacheng talking in front of him, Yue Yang couldn¡¯t help but feel a little emotional.  No one with this name is a simple character.  "Da Ming Times" has now become a mouthpiece of Yueyang. The rapid increase of Yueyang's prestige and influence in Ming Dynasty in recent years has a lot to do with it. It can be said that it is also a proud work of Yueyang. Ruan Dacheng's words are correct.  It hurt Yue Yang's itch.  Later, it praised Yue Yang's achievements, and cleverly stated that he was willing to be his younger brother like Ma Shiying. However, this short sentence contained several meanings. Yue Yang admitted that he had changed and said  Not coming out.  Yue Yan glanced at Ruan Dacheng again and nodded: "Master Ruan is serious. The reason why I was able to annihilate Jiannu was because the soldiers of the three armies trusted the emperor, but they did not dare to bow. However, I think Master Ruan is also a  Officer, it would be a pity to be buried like this. If I have time, I would like to speak to His Majesty Chen for advice. " Hearing this, Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying looked at each other and were overjoyed. Yue Yang did not call Ruan Dacheng by his name.  He called him Mr. Ruan. This sentence already showed that Yue Yang supported Ruan Dacheng's return to the civil service. He also said later that he would say good things to his boss when he had the opportunity. Although this sentence was a bit like Tai Chi,  However, getting such an attitude from Yue Yang was beyond their expectations. As for what happens next, it depends on whether Ruan Dacheng can be a good person.  Ruan Dacheng has been in the officialdom for so many years, so he naturally understands that if he wants to be accepted by others, he must submit his name to others. After getting Yue Yang's initial approval, he immediately broke the news.  "Wan Sheng shamelessly accompanied Brother Yaocao to visit the Marquis. In addition to wanting to listen to the teachings of the Marquis, Wan Sheng also accidentally heard a secret. Someone had already targeted the new army trained by the Marquis and wanted to attack him.  "Well, this happened?" Yue Yang was immediately stunned, "Who is so discerning that he reached out to the New Army so quickly?" "This person is none other than Chen Yan, the cabinet scholar!"  Ruan Dacheng said it word for word Things turned out just as Ruan Dacheng thought. On the fifth day after Yueyang's child was born, more than a dozen censors, headed by the inspector-censor Chen Ziang, jointly presented Chongzhen with a powerful weapon of the country.  A memorial in the hands of one person. In this memorial, Chen Ziang and others flattered the emperor as usual, and then pointed the finger at Yueyang.  Chen Ziang said in the memorial that the new army was a major concern for the safety of the Ming capital. The training of the new army should be handled by personnel from the Ministry of War. As a loyal and brave prince and the emperor's consort, Yueyang should avoid suspicion. Not only that, Chen Ziang also said that now that the world is peaceful, Yueyang should  He will gradually return the military power in his hands to the Ministry of War, and then he will settle down with a senior official and be his marquis honestly, and will not get involved in the affairs of the court.  As soon as this memorial came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the government and the public. Officials were also talking about it, with some applauding and some opposing. There were different opinions.  But what is strange is that when Chongzhen quietly asked the officials about their attitude, Chen Ziang's memorial was clearly opposed by three cabinet academicians, including Zhou Tingru, Xue Guoguan, and Fan Fucui, as well as a group of important ministers such as the Minister of War, Lu Xiangsheng.  This caught Chen Yan and others off guard, and in the end this memorial could only be dropped.  In Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhou Tingru asked Chen Yan, who was standing opposite him, with a serious face: "Mr. Chen Ge, people in the Ming Dynasty don't speak secretly What is going on with this memorial? Why did you let Chen Ziang and others go to this memorial?  Memorial? Don¡¯t tell me that you don¡¯t know about this memorial!¡± Chen Yan, who had been unhappy for a long time, raised his head and said, ¡°Yes, this memorial was indeed written by me, as I instructed Master Chen.  Nothing wrong. Soldiers are weapons, and saints have no choice but to use them. Now that the world is at peace, Yue Yang¡¯s military power should be taken back. What¡¯s wrong with this? " "You are stupid!" Zhou Tingru couldn't help but cursed  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
