When Cao Huachun heard this, he knew what Yang Sichang meant when he said this.
For him, he did not want Xue Guoguan's idea to be accepted by Emperor Chongzhen. You know, one of Xue Guoguan's ideas was directed at the factory guards. Therefore, he understood and turned to look at Emperor Chongzhen.
But it was better not to look. After taking a look, Cao Huachun found that Emperor Chongzhen was staring at him. The staring eyes frightened him for no reason. Based on his intuition, he did not dare to respond to Yang Sichang's suggestion. He quickly lowered his head and pretended to be a clay Buddha.
When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he sneered in his heart and said to himself: You know what's going on!
Turning back, he saw a smile on his face and replied to Yang Sichang: "You are all ministers of the cabinet, and they are my subordinates. What can I be worried about? Since Xue Qing has gone, I will Just let him bring it back!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Yang Sichang suddenly became depressed. If he still insists on his opinion, it is tantamount to saying that the cabinet ministers are not the emperor's loyal ministers, or that the emperor should not trust the cabinet ministers.
But if he really wants to do this, he will slap himself and offend other colleagues in the cabinet.
But if he named Xue Guoguan and only said that he would make moves, that would mean breaking up with Xue Guoguan and causing him to rush to the front to fight with Xue Guoguan, which he did not want to do. You must know that Xue Manzi is a lunatic. He can even make such suggestions. Who dares to confront him directly if he is so arrogant?
Therefore, after Emperor Chongzhen said this, Yang Sichang was helpless and had to remain silent.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen had just placed the Class C eavesdropping seeds that the system had just rewarded on Xue Guoguan when he left the palace. In this way, if Xue Guoguan wants to do something small, he can hide it from others but not from him.
From another aspect, Emperor Chongzhen agreed with Xue Guoguan's idea. Even if Wu Qinghou's matter was not true, he would not object if Xue Guoguan wanted to make it true. These civil servants and military generals of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the royal relatives and nobles, just need to take care of their wool.
Fang Fengnian on the other side was also worried. He and Yang Sichang had the same worries and wishes, and they did not want Xue Guoguan's proposal to be accepted by the emperor. Therefore, he secretly looked at each other and Yang Sichang, and they understood each other. Then he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen, there are still many memorials that have not been drafted. Wei Chen has nothing to do here, why not first Go back to the cabinet?"
After all, Xue Guoguan said that the cabinet would be responsible for borrowing money from civil and military officials, so he couldn't escape. If possible, he naturally hopes to stop Xue Manzi's chaos.
Emperor Chongzhen had two lifetimes of life experience, how could he not guess Fang Fengnian's little thought!
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. There were indeed too few civil servants in the late Ming Dynasty who could take on their responsibilities!
Thinking this in his heart, he remained calm on the surface and even said with a smile: "Fang Qing has worked hard too. If you are not in a hurry, just take this opportunity and take a rest. Only by combining work and rest can you do things." You won’t be drowsy, and you won’t do anything wrong, right?”
When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he didn't know whether it was intentional or not. The words "doing something wrong" seemed to emphasize his tone and raise his voice a little.
When Fang Fengnian heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He didn't know if he was overthinking it, as if there was something in Emperor Chongzhen's words. If you heard correctly, was the emperor warning himself?
He thought this, and at the same time he was a little confused, why did the emperor become so powerful in speaking and doing things? Could it be that he was enlightened by Taizu's advice in the dream? Otherwise, how can we explain the great changes before and after the emperor?
Feeling puzzled, Fang Fengnian did not dare to go against the emperor's wishes and quickly agreed. He even had to thank the emperor for taking care of his body.
Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen did not let them idle and asked them to talk about the current dilemma of the government. This would also facilitate him to deepen his understanding of this era.
Finally, Xue Guoguan came back and brought with him Li Guochen, Wu Qinghou's brother-in-law.
It was no surprise that Li Guochen also swore in front of the emperor, saying that his father had left 400,000 taels of silver, not counting fields, real estate and shops. He expressed his position to the emperor face to face, saying that the divided family wealth would be dedicated to the imperial court as military supplies.
After all this was said, the Wenhua Hall became quiet. Everyone was waiting for Emperor Chongzhen's decision, and they all had a premonition that a storm that would shake the Ming Dynasty's officialdom was likely to come.
However, no one expected that Emperor Chongzhen only praised Li Guochen and did not respond to his request. He just said to his ministers: "The most important thing now is the Manchu and Qing troops in the capital. When the Manchus are defeated, After clearing the army, let’s talk about Xue Qing’s proposal.”
At this point, his tone suddenly became stern and he said coldly: "Xue Qing's proposal today is of great importance and must not be leaked to the outside world. Otherwise, if I find out who violated my will, I will never forgive him lightly. ,J!"
This matter is indeed very important. This is the consensus of the people in Wenhua Palace. After the emperor said such harsh words, it was naturally impossible for a minister to contradict him.
Afterwards, Emperor Chongzhen asked the three assistant ministers to return to the cabinet. Then, he turned to Cao Huachun and said, "I am very relieved that Li Guochen is dedicated to serving the public. In this way, I will temporarily arrange for him to work in Dongchang. My dear friend, I will go first Leave him to you. In this situation, he is the only one who can think about the urgent needs of the court. I feel very relieved, but I can't neglect it, you know? I'll wait a few days and make new arrangements after I think about it."
"My slave obeys the order!" Upon hearing this, Cao Huachun responded quickly. At the same time, he was also wondering in his heart, what was the emperor's intention in handing him over to him?
When Li Guochen heard this, he was very surprised. Although two hundred thousand taels of silver were exchanged for working in Dongchang, it seemed like a big loss. But the key point is that he couldn't get these 200,000 taels of silver originally. This is equivalent to making a profit, and it is still very good in the emperor's impression. It is really not a good deal! So, he quickly thanked him and left first, led by his chamberlain.
Emperor Chongzhen was not disgusted by Li Guochen's behavior, which was tantamount to nothing. He didn't want to go into details about this person. Anyway, as far as the results were concerned, it was enough to be beneficial to the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. He had an idea of how to use this person in the future, but it was not the right time yet, so he sent him to Dongchang first.
Xue Guoguan can’t be the only one who stirs shit!
Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen saw that there was no one else in the palace, and suddenly his voice became colder again, and he said to Cao Huachun: "My mate, please watch out for me. Among the maids who are on duty in the Wenhua Palace, who dares to talk about what happened today?" , if it leaked out, I’m the only one asking you!”
When Cao Huachun heard this, the uneasiness in his heart immediately became stronger again. The maids and maids nearby also knelt down one after another, not even daring to say anything.
After handling this matter, Emperor Chongzhen stood up and seemed to want to leave the Wenhua Palace, which made Cao Huachun finally heave a sigh of relief. He was about to turn around and must think over what happened today. Otherwise, I always feel that my prospects seem a bit bad!
But who would have thought that Emperor Chongzhen suddenly stopped again, as if remembering something, and said to Cao Huachun: "I have forgotten that Liu Shoufu left the capital to supervise the division. I'm afraid he doesn't know what I mean. There is no room for mistakes on Lu Shangshu's side. In this way, big companion, you can make a trip to Liu Shoufu in person, so that you can be on the safe side!"
Cao Huachun was shocked when he heard this. He was not allowed to leave the capital before, so why was he suddenly allowed to leave the capital again? He vaguely felt that it was related to Xue Guoguan's proposal.
Although he was thinking this, he didn't dare to make the emperor wait, so he could only agree immediately. At the same time, I was thinking that I must explain everything before leaving the capital. Everything in the palace, especially the emperor's words and deeds, must be carefully scrutinized. After he returns to Beijing, any abnormality must be reported as soon as possible.
After sending Cao Huachun out of the capital, Emperor Chongzhen really left the Wenhua Palace.
Looking up at the sky, it was already evening. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Being an emperor doesn't mean you can do whatever you want? Before you have real confidants available, and before you have been tested by yourself, you cannot shout to beat or kill the people around you. Otherwise, who knows what unexpected things will happen if some people jump over the wall in a hurry?
Originally, he didn't know about the fifth son of Chongzhen in history, but he remembered that Emperor Jiajing was almost strangled to death by the maid next to him! A person's heart is separated from his belly, and his mind is blinded by sharpness. This kind of thing is inevitable all the time.
It's about your own life and safety. No matter what, safety first, safety first!
Of course, Emperor Chongzhen was not just sighing with emotion. He actually had already thought about what to do about this matter!
