At this time, the honest and upright Cao Huachun had forgotten that he was in front of the originally angry emperor, and seemed to be in front of his friends, facing the increasingly degenerate government and court, and expressed his feelings bitterly, Cao Huachun kowtowed again: "Lu Hanqiang not only went, but also did not hesitate, in his opinion, the old slave guessed and withdrew, one is for long live worry, just as the Buddha said I don't go to hell who goes to hell, and what shows Lu Hanqiang's loyalty is that now the court has formed two parties of Donglin and Guchen, the old slave heard that last time for Li Dongyang, the two parties broke out again A huge conflict, of course, Lu Hanqiang won, but because of this, Lu Hanqiang left, why did he go, didn't he think about him leaving, Will there be a huge loss in the court as a lone minister?"
"The old slave thought, with what Lu Hanqiang experienced, he was not stupid, he was smart and ruthless, but he still walked out of the court without hesitation, which shows that he is a loyal minister, a great loyal minister."
Chongzhen's head is a little insufficient, Wang Chengen's head is simply dead, and now it is all blue screen, "You can still say that".
At this time, Cao Huachun buckled his head again and said sincerely: "Lu Hanqiang doesn't know that taking this errand is a dead end, he doesn't know, as soon as he leaves, the lonely party that may make him a powerful minister will collapse in an instant, but in order to be loyal to the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, he thinks he must leave." ” "Why" Chongzhen and Wang Chengen involuntarily asked together, but Wang Chengen didn't expect his faux pas, and Chongzhen couldn't care about Wang Chengen's faux pas.
"Because I think that Lu Hanqiang doesn't want to provoke party strife, because he sees that our old empire can no longer withstand the toss of party strife, so he chose to sacrifice himself in exchange for the balance of the court, long live."
Cao Huachun was deeply impressed by his analysis this time, he thought that he had understood the hardships of a lonely minister who was dedicated to the country, just like himself who was dedicated to the country, and couldn't help but cry for Lu Hanqiang's single-minded pity for the country: "Long live, isn't this a loyal minister, where are there still loyal ministers?"
Chongzhen stood up suddenly, began to pace in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and from slow to fast, and finally couldn't help muttering: "Then this time Lu Hanqiang's sale of military merits is easy to explain, as a loyal minister, in order to avoid party strife in the court and damage the country's morale, he has military merits, and regardless of personal gains and losses, he gave them to Donglin Wenchen, this is to use actions to show goodwill to Donglin Wenchen, let Donglin know that he has a heart of reconciliation, he wants Donglin bastards to know that for the sake of this big empire, he can give up anything, Is this so" seems to be asking Cao Huachun who is kneeling on the ground, but he is asking himself.
Bend down, pick up the folds on the ground that were discarded by yourself, the first one is the Shanxi Governor Hu Tingyan, although I know that the fold is nonsense, but still look carefully, and then pick up a fold on the ground, although the heart is full of ridicule and disgust, but still look slowly, and then begin to become calm, slowly sit down, slowly look at the folds that were discarded by themselves, look at it, the eyes are already moist, the reason for the moist eyes is not to be moved by the flowers, because there, No one is speaking for Lu Hanqiang, they are all trying their best to boast about their merits, and the real hero Lu Hanqiang is still blocked by the civilian group, what kind of sadness is this "According to Lu Hanqiang's painstaking efforts, I must reward those bastard officials according to these bullshit exploits" This time, he didn't ask Wang Chengen, who relied on him, but looked at Cao Huachun and asked.
"Yes, long live, if not, wouldn't you live up to the heart of a loyal servant of Lu Banyu."
Cao Huachun nodded lightly.
A sentence of Lu companion reading made Chongzhen suddenly remember the time when Lu Hanqiang was his companion when he was in the hidden residence, the cold study, in the sunlight coming in from the window, the two of them silently read the books they were interested in, and every time they were confused, when there was no teacher to ask for advice, they had to discuss it with Lu Hanqiang, and every time they got Lu Hanqiang's explanation, it was so inexplicable, yes, it felt inexplicable at the time, because his explanation was fundamentally different from the explanation in the history book when he was studying at home.
And when he pushed it forward, he remembered the scene where Lu Han raped and beat himself, thinking of this, he involuntarily rubbed his shoulder, it seemed that the pain of the fist hitting him had not dissipated, but what he thought of was Lu Hanqiang's words at that time, yes, at this time, when he remembered what Lu Hanqiang said at that time, he was so full of courage and pointed directly at his heart, it seems that he was indeed wrong to blame Lu Hanqiang, and he really failed Lu Hanqiang's hard work.
Thinking of this, Chongzhen personally picked up the folds that had been swept off by himself on the ground, and began to stack them little by little according to the order, and then lay there again and began to read slowly.
Look at a gentle shake of the head, and then look at a whispered mutter: "A person in Henan can share the credit here, and it is also a loss of their face." ” Looking at it again, I couldn't help laughing: "An old eunuch even shouted to kill the thief, what did he do earlier, if this is the case, then it can still make the world so turbulent" When I looked at another copy, I slightly stretched my brows: "This is the actual situation."
Cao Huachun peeked at it, but it was a request for credit for the Intelligence Department of the Royal Commercial Bank, and then put him aside, picked up another copy, thought about it for a while, and muttered in a low voice: "It is reasonable for the Ministry of Industry to mobilize ordnance." ” picked up another copy, and suddenly said: "Why did even the household Wang Shilang appear in the report asking for merit, I seem to know that Wang Shilang stood in the court all day long, fighting with those hateful Donglin, and he didn't say anything about Shanxi at all, why didn't Donglin hate him" But he was stunned for a long time with this recital, and finally sighed: "Lu Banyu's good intentions seem to be reflected here, Donglin has also begun to ask for credit for the lonely minister, is this a kind of reconciliation in the court?"
Seeing a fold again, Chongzhen couldn't help frowning again, pinched the fold for a long time, and then asked Cao Huachun, this time it was not Wang Chengen, so Cao Huachun was ecstatic, and Wang Chengen screamed.
Chongzhen asked painfully: "Cao Daban, Wutai County Order in the name of this expedition to two cottages and levy local volunteers, the first is that it consumes this year's autumn tax, and second, as a reward for military merits, I implore the local tax burden for next year, what should you do about this matter?"
Cao Huachun had just gotten up in the place and knew the suffering of the place, so he kowtowed and said loudly: "Accurate." ” Chongzhen continued to pinch this recital, and hesitated for a long time before he said unwillingly: "If this case is opened, will it affect the treasury revenue?"
Cao Huachun hurriedly knelt forward and climbed half a step forward and started again: "Long live, the tax burden of money and grain in a county is not a meagre, according to the merits of this war, a head according to the regulations of the dynasty, that is five taels of silver, Wutai County reported three thousand eight hundred, this I am sure that there is absolutely no element of killing good and risking merit, because there is Lu Ban reading there, so we will reward them with real money and silver 19,000 taels of silver, which is only a tax burden of half a year in a lower county, and as long as the pole is wiped out in one place, the cost is only a mere one, and this is not the case, We have to wait for the officials and soldiers to enter and suppress it, and it will cost you more than tens of millions of years of wisdom, and you can use this example to tell the bureaucrats all over the world that with the power of one place, to exterminate the local pole and rogue gangsters, I can let you pay taxes for two years and give you a certain promotion. ” Chongzhen's eyes lit up, thought about it, and calculated it in his heart, it is indeed this matter, as soon as the official army comes out, don't talk about victory or defeat, the cost of promotion alone is astronomical, the victory has military merits and heads, and the defeat has compensation and damage, not to mention that every time the official army attacks, there will soon be local officials who write a letter to impeach the officials and the army for disturbing the people, and it will make a lot of trouble, which is why local officials at all levels would rather be able to poison the place than the official army to suppress it, because the pole poison is still secondary, and once the official army enters, not only a large amount of money is burdened, the damage caused is hundreds of times worse than that of the pole.
Thinking of this, I feel that Cao Huachun's statement is right, a county's two years of taxes can be exchanged for stability, and more taxes should be paid in the third year, and once everyone does this, won't it be long before the country and the people will be able to deal with Houjin wholeheartedly.
"Okay, just follow the request on these recitals and give credit to Shanxi officials."
When he said this, he was still full of nausea, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly: "After this time, see if I don't fix you."
As a result, Hu Tingyan was unlucky first, in the near future, he loyally led the troops to the king, but he was commanded today to this and tomorrow, the army did not get the food and salary at all and mutinied, this matter actually has nothing to do with him as a governor, just because of Chongzhen's bad feelings towards him now, so he took this charge and put him in prison, and finally cut off his head, this is the ending that Hu Tingyan could not imagine.
"By the way, tell Shoufu that Wang Hua, the right waiter of the household department, was promoted to the left waiter, the left waiter of the Ministry of Industry was promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the right waiter was promoted to the left waiter, and the vacancy was recommended by Lu Hanqiang, and Cao Yu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is your nephew, who was promoted to the head of the Ministry of War, Wutai County Commander was promoted to Zhizhou, and the promotion of the following officials of Wutai County Order was subject to Lu Hanqiang's promotion."
Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen were stunned and didn't know what to say, because these names pointed out by Chongzhen were all important members of the Guchen Party, and the remaining vacancies had to be guaranteed by Lu Hanqiang, that is to say, it was the Guchen Party that won this time, and this time alone could make at least dozens of people from the Guchen Party promoted one after another, and the Guchen Party became even more powerful.
"Also, Cao Huachun, you go to the cabinet and tell them that everyone knows it this time, and I don't want to discourage everyone's enthusiasm, so I will handle it according to the promotion list they have drawn up, but if these people I said don't do what I want, then I will definitely not put red on the cabinet vote, Wang Chengen, do you understand?"
Wang Chengen is crying now, he originally thought that this time was a dangerous thing, and he was a turtle with a shrunken head, but this big thing was stated by Cao Huachun, and it turned out to be a great thing, this time Cao Huachun not only completely flattered the Lone Ministers, but also flattered Donglin, and obviously showed his face in front of the emperor again, and suppressed himself, and now this errand that offended people without red fell on his own head.
After thinking about it, this can only be the top cylinder by himself, who makes himself the head of the celebrant supervisor.
Quietly take a look at Cao Huachun, who is already in his heart, Wang Chengen's teeth itch, let's see.
"As for the Intelligence Department of the Commercial Bank, I think that this Shanxi official performance is the most pertinent, which also makes those stubborn guys see the ability of our commercial bank, not only do they do a lot of great things for the country without spending any state money, but this time it will also make those old guys shut up."
When he said this, his face was already full of pride, that is, his retainers had such a big role, so who was not happy, Although the military exploits of Shanxi officials were bought, but Lu Hanqiang was able to break through two cottages in one fell swoop and exterminate the poles in Wutai, which is absolutely related to the Intelligence Division, there is no doubt about this, if according to the current statement, then his own emperor should also share some military merits "But the Wang Fang of the Intelligence Department is diligent and has great achievements, I once asked Wang Daban to reveal that I can make an exception to pick him up and enter the office, but this Wang Fang would rather continue to be my retainer, and he will not give me this face."
When he said this, not only did his face not have the slightest anger, but he was relieved.
Therefore, this military exploit can only be recorded for him, Wang Daban.
Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen, who was kneeling on the ground with a depressed face.
"The old slave is here." was called by the emperor, and Wang Chengen changed it back to Wang Daban, Wang Chengen's heart calmed down somewhat.
"If you tell the king what I mean, you will say that he has worked hard and made great achievements, and I also know his loyalty, since he is not willing to go out and continue to be my retainer, then I will not treat him badly, I heard that he has a son."
"Yes, I'm five years old this year, and the old slave has seen it, and he looks cute and smart."
Wang Chengen answered with a flattering face, and hurriedly brushed his presence in front of Chongzhen.
"Yes."
Chongzhen smiled and nodded, "You tell him that I will give my son the status of a hereditary hundred households in the forbidden army, and then when my prince is older, let his son be my prince's companion." ” The forbidden army is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and it is also the money and food of the Son of Heaven, and the low-level official positions here do not need to be arranged by the cabinet, nor do they need to be attached to the cabinet, so the official position here is also the only opportunity and right for the emperor to reward Xun Gui, and at the beginning of this year, Chongzhen just got his first son, that is, Zhu Cihong.
This time, Wang Fang has completely earned it.
Looking at Wang Chengen's lost expression, Chongzhen smiled: Of course, the Intelligence Department would not be where it is today without you, but you have become the head of the inner palace and you really can't be sealed anymore, so let's do it, you report a nephew to come up, and pass it to your knees, and I will give the same grace.
Wang Chengen's head was buzzing at that time, and he almost turned his back on it, the hereditary hundred households are not important, the most important thing is the companion, that is the future is really immeasurable.
"By the way, there is also Lu Banyu, this is a difficult thing to do, they are all their own people, it was originally a great achievement, but let him push it cleanly, now it's okay, I can't reward him because he watched a big battle, it's too much to say."
Cao Huachun bowed his head knowingly, yes, this is indeed a difficult thing to do, and the most difficult thing is especially the most difficult thing to do, as if you don't want to reward him, then what else can I say t1706231537:
