With a cheerful sound of success, Cao Huachun, who had just entered Beijing, walked into the courtyard of the imperial study with a stack of tall folds, but he didn't want Chongzhen to be not in the study, but in the courtyard, and staring at himself with a very ugly face, Cao Huachun wondered, he didn't do anything wrong, why did he anger the emperor Cao Huachun is the old man of Chongzhen's palace, this person is not only loyal, but also poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is deeply feared by Wei Zhongxian at that time, so he found a crime and threw it to Nanjing, Chongzhen was on the throne, and there was a lack of credible manpower around him, so he always wanted to transfer this Cao Huachun back, and now Cao Huachun has entered Beijing, but there is no scenery in the original history, because the East Factory can no longer be built, so he can only temporarily wronged him to be a eunuch of the Si Li Bingpen, and work under Wang Chengen, because Cao Huachun is safe and capable, The actual ability is also higher than Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen is also happy to let go, so he will hand over most of the things to him to do, and he is happy to be with Chongzhen, and at the same time, the eunuch in the palace of Queen Zhang was borrowed by Chongzhen to monitor Lu Hanqiang, and he also served as the head of Queen Zhang's side.
This time Shanxi was a good news, Cao Huachun brought it, hoping to get a good jackpot, but he didn't want to encounter cold water with enthusiasm.
Cao Huachun, who didn't know what was going on, carefully put the fold on the low table next to the free chair, and peeked at his boss Wang Chengen, hoping to get a little reminder from this big eunuch, but seeing that this big eunuch looked at his nose and nose and asked his heart, it was like meditation, and he didn't give him the slightest hint.
Looking at Chongzhen again, with a black face, he picked up the stack of Shanxi officials he had just picked up, snorted when he saw one copy, and then threw it to the ground, and then looked at another copy and hummed it for a lifetime and fell to the ground again, so he looked at more than a dozen copies in a row, and lost it all over the ground, and his face became darker and darker.
In the end, I didn't look at it, and suddenly roared: "Shameless."
He waved his hands and swept all the unfinished recitals to the ground at once, trembling and his face turned pale and roaring again and again: "Shameless, the officials of Shanxi Province are extremely shameless." ” Wang Chengen, who was incarnated as a bodhisattva, no longer dared to be indifferent, and hurriedly knelt down with Cao Huachun, buckled his head again and again, and kept shouting that the emperor was angry, Wang Chengen shouted that he knew it, and Cao Huachun shouted inexplicably.
"Long live, Shanxi's good news is a good thing, but why did it provoke Long Live Long Yan's anger" Seeing that Chongzhen broke out for a while, taking advantage of his respite, Cao Huachun asked the reason in a low voice, and at this time he had to open his mouth, because Wang Chengen has become a kowtow machine, and these twists and turns brought by himself, don't ask to understand, wait a while Chongzhen will be angry at himself, then he doesn't even have a goal to justify, it is wronged to death.
"Wang Chengen, you say."
Chongzhen sat on the chair with a huff and yelled at Wang Chengen.
Wang Chengen was trembling, but he couldn't help but speak, so he trembled and told Cao Huachun the whole story.
Cao Huachun was originally good friends with Donglin, but Cao Huachun was also a kind and upright person, and he heard that the entire Shanxi officialdom had won the military merits with great confidence, and he was not ashamed at all, and he was also shocked by Donglin's shamelessness.
"And Lu Hanqiang, as a party concerned, even ignored the bullying of these bastard officials, and simply sold it for 20,000 silver, how can it be true."
Chongzhen added angrily.
Just this sentence made Cao Huachun's head turn, "Things here are not simple. ” Peeked at Wang Chengen in a blink of an eye, Wang Chengen was also looking over, looked at Cao Huachun at himself, hurriedly turned his head, collapsed his body, and buckled his whole face to the ground, as if a Ganoderma lucidum treasure suddenly grew on the ground, and he had to see it clearly.
Cao Huachun sighed in his heart, this is Wang Chengen taking himself to the top of the cylinder.
In fact, this is indeed the case, Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun are not similar in loyalty, but in terms of ability, Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun belong to heaven and earth, or Cao Huachun will not be more and more valued by Chongzhen later, appointed to clean up the Donglin unjust case, rehabilitated more than 1,000 cases, and then Dongchang was built, he became the commander of Dongchang, and Chongzhen for seven years, simply took over the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army, it can be seen that his ability is outstanding, as for the later fall of the capital, Donglin, who was favored by Cao Huachun, said that they had been forced to return to their hometown to recuperate for six years, Cao Huachun, who was not in the capital, opened the door of the capital, yes, Cao Huachun, who was not there, opened the door of the capital to greet Li Chuang, it can be seen how far Donglin has become, of course, that is a later story.
Now Cao Huachun must solve the crisis in front of him, because at this time, Wang Chengen obviously set himself up as a competitor and let him have to drill.
After thinking about the simple cause and effect, Cao Huachun spoke in his loyal nature: "Long live, long live the old slave He has a minister, and He Daming has a loyal minister." ” Just this voice, immediately made Chongzhen inexplicable, how can this Ming Dynasty officials up and down Shanxi, and continue is that the court officials have reached the point of shamelessness, how can I still have a minister, there are loyal ministers, you Cao Huachun fooled me, at this time Chongzhen's face is even darker, black can be comparable to Bao Gong, of course, he does not have Bao Gong's justice and determination.
"Speak."
After speaking, Chongzhen sat back on the chair with a snort, picked up the teaglass, but found that it was empty, and was furious, and roared at the little eunuchs who hid far away because of his anger: "Are they all dead, are they going to die of thirst?"
Those little eunuchs were all dead at that time, and they fell to their knees one by one, and their heads were about to be cracked, and they were left begging for mercy in their mouths.
At this time, Cao Huachun couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly got up regardless of his own safety, grabbed the teapot on the low table, and poured it for Chongzhen.
The tea was neither cold nor hot, Chongzhen drank it in one gulp, and the anger in his heart immediately subsided a lot, and he didn't blame Cao Huachun for standing up without his consent, but said lightly: "If you don't tell a Tao, I will punish you and Shanxi officials for the crime of blinding the superiors." ” Cao Huachun hurriedly stepped back and knelt beside Wang Chengen again, this time he did not take half a step behind Wang Chengen, but was level with him, kowtowed again and arched his hand: "When the old slave was in Nanjing, I heard that this Lu Hanqiang was clever and courageous, and he was willing to do things without publicity.
"Just this sentence, Chongzhen is happy, Lu Hanqiang is not unassuming, holding a special tooth wat all day long, in the court is to catch who to beat whom, see who to bite whom, but also bite a ruthless, originally a single bite, now it has developed into a group bite, bite the capital, there is a development to start biting in other places, this is not just out of Beijing for three days, he will bite a five-grade official, now he Lu Hanqiang is indeed not public, but domineering, it seems that your old Cao has never seen Lu Hanqiang, if you see, You should know how little you know about him.
Cao Huachun didn't know why Chongzhen suddenly snorted and was happy, thinking that as long as Chongzhen was happy, then he would be right, so he became more and more bold, and said again: "The old slave entered Beijing this time, and he has a little understanding of the court in the capital. ” This Chongzhen agrees, not only agrees but also is gratified, because as Cao Huachun said, not only eliminated the chaos, but also increased his income, and at the same time, without spending a tael of silver, he has dozens of eyes and ears close to millions of the country, and now this effect has appeared, just the information sent in by the king every day, let him get rid of the closed information after the abolition of the Jinyi Wei East and West Factory, almost every day in the Ming Dynasty, the big and small things in the north and south, as long as you want to understand, you can understand, Whose credit is this, by the way, it is Lu Hanqiang's credit, if it wasn't for Cao Huachun's reminder, he would have forgotten it.
At this time, Chongzhen forgot the comment he had just given to Lu Hanqiang about an attempt.
Peeked at Chongzhen again, and saw that the emperor's complexion had eased, proving that he was right, so Cao Huachun was even more bold and continued his judgment and analysis, "The old slave entered Beijing and heard that Lu Hanqiang put forward a slogan among the ministers, loyal to the monarch and patriotism, help the world, empty talk to mislead the country, and work hard to prosper the country. ” This point, Chongzhen also agreed, it is precisely because of the emergence of the lonely party, so that his business bank almost does not cost himself a tael of silver, it will operate normally, now from Wang Fang and Wang Chengen's report, not only the operation of infinitely good, but also very good, now Wang Chengen this small pick has said, it is about to reach the end of the quarter, 500,000 their own dividends are no problem, which greatly eases their financial pressure, at the same time, the income of the Ming News newspaper is also becoming more and more considerable, according to Wang Chengen reported, Every month, the newspapers in the capital and the newspapers in the country's Tongqu Dayi can pay dividends of no less than 100,000 yuan, and this amount alone is as much as one million a year, which makes his own internal money from the original only in, and there is also a steady stream of living water, this alone is enough to show that Lu Hanqiang is a capable person.
And in the court, because of the lonely minister party and Donglin singing against each other, let me no longer be kidnapped by Donglin, less troubles, and more The hard work of the lonely ministers here, but also let some of the decrees implemented by myself be implemented, which was what Donglin could not desire when he was dominant.
Well, this can also be regarded as Lu Hanqiang's credit.
"And one of the things that the old slave He Xiguo Dynasty has produced loyal ministers lies in the latter."
"How to say" Chongzhen had completely forgotten the anger just now, and began to listen to Cao Huachun's analysis with interest, which he had not thought of before, and no one had told him.
Cao Huachun was secretly happy in his heart, and peeked at Wang Chengen kneeling beside him again, and said that the butt determines the head, in fact, it is not true, wisdom is innate, it can be changed, but it is too difficult, no matter where the ass sits, it cannot change a person's stupidity, such as this Wang Daban, the ass sits high, in fact, it makes the head stupid, this matter actually has to support Lu Hanqiang, because he just came to the capital, he obviously felt the obvious hostility of Donglin Shizi to the eunuchs, The current eunuch is no longer as good as a dog in the eyes of Donglin Shizi, what has become the original powerful celebrant eunuch is not all this the sin created by your Wang Chengen and the only one who can compete with Shilin Donglin is only Lu Hanqiang and Lu Hanqiang's lonely ministers, and Lu Hanqiang is said to be respectful and peaceful to those of us who are missing, you don't protect such foreign aid, and you are still ambiguous here, I really don't know where your butt is sitting in, whether your head was kicked by a donkey, It's a pity that Lu Hanqiang is still working hard for you, why don't you know, you lack foreign aid, and you are not favored by the emperor, so what do you have left, you are really stupid, but fortunately, this opportunity is just given to me, or how to show my wit "The old slave said that you got a loyal minister, precisely because of Lu Hanqiang's outing for disaster relief this time."
Cao Huachun shook his head lightly, but still said boldly: "Long live you know, this great drought in Shanxi is rare for a thousand years, thousands of miles of people in Chidi compete for food, the old slave says a disrespectful word, 100,000 silver to save Shanxi, this is what all the people in the world think is an absolutely impossible thing to do." ” Cao Huachun showed his kindness and honesty at this point, this matter is something that three-year-old children all over the world know, but Chongzhen knows that he doesn't want to say it, Wang Chengen knows that he doesn't want to say it, at this time Cao Huachun said it honestly, Chongzhen was embarrassed, and Wang Chengen was very angry.
Cao Huachun didn't care about Chongzhen's expression, Wang Chengen's heart, and continued to slowly say his thoughts according to his honest nature.
"And everyone in the world knows that this is a thankless task, no, this is simply not a thankless thing, but in the case of the court full of political enemies, it is a matter of death and life, but Lu Hanqiang went, not only went, but also without hesitation, isn't this a cadre who has the courage to do anything?"
At this time, Chongzhen's psychology was a little apologetic, indeed, when he and Lu Hanqiang talked about this in the backyard of Huitong Pavilion, in fact, he really had a little bit of a heart to finish my face and let you die, and he knew at that time that once Lu Hanqiang took this errand, Donglin would definitely fall into the ground, because this errand would not be good anyway.
As a result, it was still these Shanxi officials, when they learned that Lu Hanqiang had brought 100,000 silver to the disaster relief, not only did they not actively cooperate, but they also immediately wrote a book one by one, came up with all kinds of ridiculous reasons, and refused Lu Hanqiang to enter, so they couldn't wait to close the door and let the dogs go.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen's face darkened again. t1706231537:
