Outside Donghua Gate, there is Dongjishi Factory.
Chongzhen, dressed as a young eunuch, brought Wang Chengen to Dongchang.
Tu Shanyong is working in the main hall, handling daily affairs.
The current owner of Dongchang is Wang Chengen, but he is actually just a name.
Wang Chengen usually served the emperor closely and did not have much time to manage the daily affairs of the East Factory. The East Factory was under the factory master, and there were only one thousand households and one hundred households in charge. So now Tu Shanyong is actually in charge of the daily operations of the East Factory.
He is an old minister of Qiandi, one of the few people the emperor can truly trust completely.
Tu Shanyong was processing the intelligence sent from various places when he heard the door knock. Most people would not dare to come in directly. After all, it was a confidential place.
Tu Shanyong raised his head and saw Wang Chengen coming in. He quickly stood up and saluted respectfully: "My subordinates respectfully welcome the Governor."
Wang Chengen waved his hand, indicating that he was welcome, and gave him a look that held him back.
"You all go down, and don't disturb me and the Governor if you have nothing to do."
"No!" Everyone quickly retreated and closed the door.
"Haha, Tushan, your place is nice!" Chongzhen walked out from behind Wang Chengen.
Tu Shanyong was stunned for a moment, then he smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, this is the white dragon fish suit. You are paying a private visit incognito. I have seen your Majesty, Tu Shanyong."
Chongzhen quickly pulled him up. "No need to be polite. I'm not wearing a dragon robe. Haha, I came out to relax today. I've been a little depressed recently."
What kind of person Tu Shan was, it was immediately clear that Chongzhen was undecided about something and came to him to discuss it privately.
Dongchang is just outside Donghua Gate, so it is convenient for the emperor to come secretly, just out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, you are worried about Donglin."
"Hahaha, the one who knows me is Tu Shan. I know I can't hide it from you."
Chongzhen then briefly talked about the recent troubles with Donglin. The disappointment is palpable. Dong Lin's group, as much as Chongzhen had hoped for them at the beginning, he is now so disappointed.
The most fundamental bottom line for emperors and ministers to get along is that each other knows where the other side's bottom line is, what can and cannot be done. Once you have done it, you should take the initiative to shrink it to maintain a balanced situation.
But these bastards, they engage in unilateralism.
Just care about your own good and not care about the good of others. As long as he can get his hands on it, whether it is power, money, or territory, he will keep holding it in his arms.
But in this world, no matter who gets along with each other, there is a rule that everyone has agreed upon, and that is equal exchange.
If you only care about your own suitability and don't care about other people's losses, this kind of business will not last long.
"These people, let me tell you what is good about them. All of them are moral gentlemen, virtuous people, and I am the one who is ungrateful." Chongzhen said with a wry smile.
"What does your Majesty think virtue is?" Tu Shan asked.
"Hahaha, Tushan, you are always so interesting. Please tell me what virtue is."
"I am not talented and have not read much, but I have my own, simplest understanding of virtue. I believe that those who are virtuous will win."
"Tushan, what you said is quite novel, haha" Chongzhen suddenly became interested. Virtue is gained. This was the first time he heard this saying, virtue is gained.
"I think it doesn't matter whether it's a person, a group, being in power, or doing something. If the people around you get something because of you, then you have accumulated virtue."
Chongzhen is thoughtful and his words are rough but not rough. This principle holds water.
"The opposite is also true. If the people around you lose something because of you, then you are evil."
This time Chongzhen did not smile, but his expression became more solemn.
Tushan didn't advise or even say anything, but he explained everything thoroughly.
It has been more than half a year since Dong Lin came to power. In the past six months, whoever has suffered has taken advantage. Everyone has his own account in mind.
The emperor must have suffered a loss. A lot has been lost.
Is there any profit from other factions outside Donglin? I am afraid to think deeply about everything, and the result is shuddering. No one benefits except themselves. No one in the world benefits.
Chongzhen also secretly sighed in his heart, Jiang is still hotter when he is old.
All the problems are explained in one sentence. Chongzhen didn’t need to ask anything more.
Politics is the art of compromise and the art of distribution of interests.
What does the prime minister do? The prime minister was originally a cook. He could blend various flavors and prepare a table of delicious dishes. The so-called Dingfu. The prime minister must be able to hide filth and evil, and the prime minister must have a generous belly. The so-called prime minister's belly is easy to support. What Dong Lin and his group are doing is really not a qualified and responsible group.
"After hearing what you said, it was really enlightening. Wang Cheng'en"
"The slave is here"
"Tu Shanyong, a member of the Thousand Households in Dongchang, has repeatedly made meritorious deeds. He has given his son the title of Tushanhu Brocade Guard."
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. Quanzi is only six years old this year and is still an ignorant naughty boy. Official positions are official assets of the court. Don't grant them lightly."
"Alas, others don't know about your contribution. Don't I know about it? It's just that I need you to firmly hold the real power of Dongchang for me. I really feel wronged by not being able to promote you to your position."
Tu Shanyong was immediately moved to tears and said, "With these words from Your Majesty, I am satisfied. Please take back your Majesty's orders."
"Jun Wu Xiyan, don't refuse this matter anymore, it's settled."
Tu Shanyong saw that he could not change the emperor's fate, so he had to kneel down to thank him.
"Haha, before I came, the queen was still talking about when Bingchan would return to her parents' home. Don't forget to let her go into the palace to talk to the queen. Now it's not like the time to stay in the mansion. She and Yang Fan are in Zunhua , can’t be seen normally.”
Tushan knew that his daughter had a very good relationship with Queen Zhou, and she had worked as a guard in the Xinwang Mansion for a period of time. He quickly agreed.
After coming out of Dongchang, Chongzhen was in a much better mood. He had been worried about gains and losses before.
After talking to Tushan, my heart became clear and all the worries were gone.
In fact, when people are entangled, it is difficult to make a decision.
As long as you make up your mind, you won't have to worry about it anymore.
There is no need to continue to tolerate people like Dong Lin. Chongzhen no longer wanted to hear them beeping at this time.
To explain is to cover up, to explain what problem can be solved.
Why is it difficult to return to Liaoning in five years? It is not easy to do the work below. It's all because the officials below are not doing their best.
At this time, Chongzhen only had one sentence in his heart for them: Can you do it or not? Whoever can do it comes up.
The most indispensable thing in the world is people who want to be officials. The queue can go from Qianqing Palace to Yongding Gate.
If you don't want to do it anymore and you complain, you can see how many people are waiting to come up behind you.
If I can get you up, I can get you down.
I hope you will not fail to uphold martial ethics, use mouse tail juice, and do not make mistakes on your own.
Chongzhen flicked his sleeves and said: "Go back to the palace."
