Chapter 517 Death of Master Sun

In March of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen issued an order to recognize Zhao Xing’s two sons as Emperor Yuer Gan and the prince accompanied him to read.

He added the third division of Zhaoxing and the Grand Tutor of the Prince.

Zhao Xingniang was the first-rank lady of the Ming Dynasty and was rewarded with dragon head crutches. She went in and out of the palace casually, and saw anyone except Empress Zhang.

Zhao Xing's two wives became god sisters with Zhou Hou Concubine Tian.

The puppy, Xiaohuang, ordered the imperial dog.

The chickens and ducks from Zhao Xing’s family – Forget it, send them to the imperial kitchen.

He rejected all the complaints of Zhao Xing's apology, and in mid-April, he held the Kehen again. He was still the chief examiner of the two subjects and Zhao Xing's deputy examiner.

As soon as this news came out, the whole world was in an uproar, but the whole world lost its voice.

On the day the imperial edict was issued, Sun Chengzong hanged himself at home.

After receiving this news, the whole world was in an uproar, but the whole world lost its voice.

Everyone knows why Sun Chengzong died, and Chongzhen also knows why Master Sun died. Zhao Xing even knows why Master Sun died.

Death advice.

But no one said that, neither Chongzhen nor Zhao Xing.

However, the content of Master Sun's death memorial was leaked. The content was very simple. The emperor asked to set up a deputy minister and political affairs to be with the cabinet.

In other words, this suggestion is to prepare the court to form a three-pronged carriage, check and balance each other, that is, check and balance the imperial power, and replace the cabinet when the cabinet is incompetent.

Chongzhen accepted the suggestion without hesitation, but did not appoint the first candidate for political affairs.

Everyone in the world was moved by this new official position. Even if they don’t understand the actual content of this official position, they will understand as long as they read the history of the Song Dynasty. This is the prime minister who was abolished by Master Hongwu’s fear of depriving the imperial power of his ministers. He is the leader of the real ministers, and is the real one below one above millions.

A strong prime minister can point at the emperor's nose and scold him, and the emperor dared not say anything. The reason is that all military, political and financial power is in the hands of the prime minister, in front of the powerful prime minister. The emperor is a symbol, a commander with a bare hands.

As a result, after replacing the prime minister with many cabinets, Chongzhen happily accepted the proposal, but did not appoint anyone to be the first one.

So everyone in the world understood that this was kept for Zhao Xing.

Sun Chengzong meant that he used this position to reward Zhao Xing, who had worked hard and made great contributions, and then used his nominal suppression, and used his cabinet to control him. But he was able to exert Zhao Xing's ability to govern the country in various ways.

The Ming Dynasty, the best person to Chongzhen died.

Chongzhen stopped Master Sun for half a month, which was already the greatest grief for a minister after his death. He buried Master Sun next to the tomb of Emperor Tianqi, with a posthumous title of Zhong and a archway. This is the highest evaluation of a civil minister who has built a coffin.

But his goal was not achieved, or it was not achieved completely, only half of it.

Zhao Xing was still in power and still had real power. No one could restrain him. He was still the commander of the Jinyiwei, a small official. He was still the deputy chief examiner of Zhengke and Enke. He was still in and out of the palace and was as casual as going to his backyard. And he could have a meal in the emperor's imperial study every day.

Of course, the food in the Imperial Study Room is getting more and more abundant, because the emperor is rich, but it is still quite the same.

Faced with such favor, I don’t know that Master Sun Chengzong did not regret it when he hanged him.

But according to later suicide experts' research, there are thousands of ways to die in this world. Even if you cut off your head directly, you can take it back as long as you regret it. But there is no way to save the death of hanging.

Therefore, I would like to solemnly advise those who want to hang themselves that before hanging, there must be someone around you. If you regret it, you will be saved within three seconds.

Of course, in the previous history, when Chongzhen hanged, there was a person around him, but unfortunately, that person was with him.

Speaking of hanging himself, everyone in the world saw Zhao Xing and inexplicably did something that shocked the world.

I don’t know if it was to show his favor in front of the emperor or what. He actually commanded the Jinyiwei to raid the Meishan Mountain, cut down all the crooked trees on the mountain, including those that could hang thicker branches, and ordered them to be strictly controlled. From then on, there will be no trees that grow more than half a person on Jingshan Mountain.

Regarding this serious usurpation and serious damage to the royal Feng Shui, Chongzhen and Empress Zhou actually hugged their arms and watched him make trouble with a smile, but for this, they still had tears in their eyes.

I don’t know what Zhao Xing and the emperor said in the middle of the night before, squatting in a corner with no one, muttering to each other.

Everyone didn't know what the two of them said that day, but everyone knew that at the next 1st tide meeting, Zhao Xing took the initiative to participate.

At that time, Master Sun was dead, and the position of Ji Liao Supervisor was vacant. In the entrainment of the chief minister, he took the candidate he thought was the most suitable. All the ministers were eager to try and prepared to take the most popular position in the world.

However, Chongzhen asked Zhao Xing alone: ​​"Who should inherit the affairs of Master Sun?"

Zhao Xing replied: "Hong Chengchou."

The emperor said: "Zhao, Hong Chengchou succeeded to the commander of Ji Liao."

Then ask again: "Who inherits the position of governor of Shanxi?"

"Sun Chuanting."

The emperor said, "Zhao, Sun Chuanting succeeded to the governor of Shanxi." Then he asked, "Who succeeded to the governor of Sanbian and Xuanda?"

Zhao Xing replied: "Yang Sichang."

The emperor said, "Zhao, Yang Sichang succeeded to the Governor of Xuanda, the Three Borders." He asked again, "Who succeeded Yang Sichang?"

Zhao Xing replied: "Lu Xiangsheng."

The emperor said, "Zhao, Lu Xiangsheng succeeded as Minister of Revenue and led the cabinet to walk." He also said, "Who succeeded Lu Xiangsheng?"

Zhao Xing replied: "Shi can be used as a method."

The emperor said, "Zhao, Shi Kefa succeeded as the prefect of Daming and the general officer of the Tianxiong Army." He asked again, "Who succeeded as Shi Kefa?"

Zhao Xing said: "Tian Wenlong, the top scorer in the last year's new academic performance."

The emperor said: "Zhao, Tian Wenlong succeeded to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

The emperor said, "Who succeeds Tian Wenlong?"

Zhao Xing said,,,,,,,,

The entire court lasted only for an hour, and the promotion and movement of hundreds of officials was determined in the question and answer of the monarch and ministers. Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet, was just a decoration and didn't even have the chance to interrupt.

After finally waiting for the opportunity of the two people taking a breath, Wen Tiren stepped forward, and Chongzhen stood up directly: "Let's do it today, let's go to the imperial study." Then, while walking backward, he ordered: "Zhao Xing, come to the imperial study room."

Hundreds of civil and military officials, all the nobles, watched the two of them in a daze, walked side by side, and ran to the back to have a drink with a chat.

Why are you still standing? Are you discussing the serious matter with the chief assistant who doesn't care about it? It's useless to say that, let's go back to the yamen to mix vegetables.

The new Cohen examination has ended, and another group of new officials who are just eager to try are appointed to various places with jingling gold and spending money.

Zhao Xing stayed more than half of it this time, and he wanted to take them to Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan to enrich the vacancies of officials at all levels.

This time Zhao Xing left the capital, the emperor stood on the Meridian Gate to see him off like a general who had gone to war. Before leaving, Chongzhen stood on the Meridian Gate and shouted loudly to Zhao Xing, and was also calling out to the world: "The southwest affairs are all up to you, my decisive decisions, so there is no need to ask me again."
