How to make a famous minister

Chapter 81

Zhu Youjian really stood on Mao Wenlong's side, angrily reprimanded Yuan Chonghuan, and ordered him to be recalled.Another decree was added to Mao Wenlong, which greatly rewarded him and his Dongjiang Army. At the same time, following the decree, there was also a private letter from Zhu Youjian, which comforted Mao Wenlong.

But as soon as Mao Wenlong let go of the decree and lost the private letter, he took people to count the gold, silver and grain bestowed by the emperor.

It's okay if you don't look at it, Mao Wenlong became furious when he saw it, and shouted in a low voice: "Your Majesty treats us as beggars, and you can send them away at will! When Yuan Chonghuan came, there was still one coin for each person, and His Majesty rewarded each person, but only half a coin per person." Already!"

The adjutant said with a bitter face: "General, those grains, those grains..."

Mao Wenlong saw that the grain and grass were better than the silver, so he immediately pushed the adjutant away and walked into the granary to take a look—the military rations that were still white rice when they were shipped out of Beijing, most of them had been replaced with damp old rice when they arrived here.

Mao Wenlong kicked over the sack containing the grain, and the old rice was spread all over the floor.

Although he was extremely angry, Mao Wenlong also knew that this had nothing to do with Emperor Chongzhen.It's just that the military rations have been transported all the way, passing through many towns and checkpoints, so it is inevitable that someone will tamper with it.

Those people sold the new rice in the official warehouse to the grain merchants at a low price, and repurchased the damp old rice from the grain merchants, which naturally enriched their own pockets.

And those officials replaced the new rice with old rice, and they had to remind Shi Qin to check it all the time, and they had to pray to God that there would be no disasters, lest it would be exposed as soon as the grain was released.

At this time, if a team carrying new rice arrives, it is natural to resort to means to clear out the old rice in the granary and bring in new rice that can be traded.

These officials of the Ming Dynasty are greedy even for food and grass for the front-line soldiers to fight. They really don't know where their shame is lost.

However, although Mao Wenlong knew that it was not the fault of Emperor Chongzhen, he couldn't help but vent his anger.He immediately wrote a letter eloquently, describing the situation in detail, and finally mentioned his willingness to ask the court to send money and food.

Not to mention Zhu Youjian's thoughts after reading the memorial, but to say that the Donglin Party in the imperial court quarreled over this matter.

The entire Donglin Party doesn't like Mao Wenlong very much, because this guy is too "forceful".Every time I see his memorial, I don't need to open it to know what it is about. It is nothing more than asking for money and food.How can the country have so much money?

They all know how difficult it is for the Dongjiang Army to be alone, but you should also consider the difficulties for the country.Now there are rebellions in every state capital, there are disasters every year, and there are places where money is used for food everywhere. Can we stop raising money every time?

Over time, Mao Wenlong knew that the Donglin Party was impatient with him, so he naturally stopped sticking to his cold ass, and thought of other ways instead.

The Donglin Party is very happy - just don't bother us.

However... not long after, they received a complaint from North Korea: Your Mao Wenlong has come to beat our autumn wind.

Members of the Donglin Party, who have always been known as role models of gentlemen, couldn't sit still, and they all stood up to accuse Mao Wenlong, saying that he was not a teacher of benevolence and righteousness.As a result, the Liangzi between Donglin Party and Mao Wenlong was concluded.

Now, seeing Mao Wenlong dare to be dissatisfied with the emperor's "amendment" and dare to sit on the ground and raise the price, it is unbearable.Some officials even jumped out and said that Mao Wenlong's crime should be executed.

Zhu Youjian just sneered, and then sent another hundred carts of grain and grass over.This time Jin Yiwei personally escorted him, and no one dared to make a fuss.

Seeing that all the new rice was delivered, Mao Wenlong squinted his eyes in satisfaction, then smiled triumphantly, and said to the adjutant, "After all, His Majesty still knows who is the most reliable person."

This scene was noticed by Jin Yiwei Anshao.

Zhu Youjian stood on Mao Wenlong's side this time, which was beyond the expectations of the Donglin Party.You know, if anything happened in the past, Emperor Chongzhen always stood by their side.

However, before the leaders of the Donglin Party could come up with a plan, a major event that shocked the government and the public came.

At the beginning, this incident was only a shock to the government and the public, but its aftermath soon spread to the south of the Yangtze River, and even spread across the country like a prairie fire.

Ye Xianggao died.

Three years later than the previous life, the leader of the Donglin Party finally passed away.The family of the Ye family also ushered in its final glory.

On the seventh day of Ye Xiang's high head, everyone from princes and dukes to civil and military officials came to mourn.And Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian sent Wang Chengen, the eunuch who was the most proud of him, to read the will and push the last glory of the Ye family to the peak.

Ye Ge was posthumously given the title of Taishi, posthumously titled Wenzhong.

For a literati, this is the greatest honor.But for a veteran of the three dynasties, who served as the chief assistant of the cabinet twice, and the leader of one party, is the name of a "grand teacher" too thin?

For a moment, the eyes of all the ministers exchanged with each other, but their faces were respectful, and they repeatedly thanked His Majesty for his grace.

Wang Chengen returned to the palace and told Zhu Youjian what he had seen and heard one by one.Fan Xuanchao was a little surprised when he heard this, and said worriedly, "Your Majesty, why don't you promote him to the rank of Duke? If this is the case, will it scare the snake away?"

Zhu Youjian chuckled, and dropped a black spot on his right hand, "It's only interesting when there is coming and going."

Fan Xuanchao almost followed without thinking, and next to Zhu Youjian's place, he also dropped a white piece. "This time, don't become a 'leaf jail'."

During the Hongwu period of the founding of the country, Zhu Yuanzhang killed more than [-] people, including the founding heroes, for the crime of conspiring with Hu Weiyong.When Fan Xuanchao mentioned it at this time, it also meant to remind Zhu Youjian not to play too much, and to play the whole country.After all, they are not in the peaceful and prosperous era of the Hongwu period now, and there are Houjin outside who are eyeing it.

Zhu Youjian didn't even look at him, thinking about how to make the next move, and after a long time, he made a move.At this time, he replied to Fan Xuanchao's words: "This matter is far worse than treason, and now it is not the peaceful situation when the country was founded. I have my own measure."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian looked up at Fan Xuanchao, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Han Yuan is so outspoken, I'm not afraid that one day, I will cut you off after listening to the loyal words?"

Fan Xuanchao didn't change his expression, he dropped the chess piece and said, "Since your Majesty knows that this humble minister is a loyal one, he won't cut me off."

Zhu Youjian laughed out loud, stretched out his hand, played with Fan Xuanchao's fingertips, and squeezed heavily, "Hanyuan, Fan Aiqing, you really know my mind thoroughly. Fan Hanyuan is the one who knows me."

Fan Xuanchao silently withdrew his hand from playing chess, thinking distressedly: His Majesty has become more and more fond of talking like this playing hard to get, and it is really tiring to cooperate with acting.
