Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhou Jiamo was one of the few practical people in the Donglin Party. He once served as the right deputy censor of the capital to patrol Yunnan, and was later promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War to still patrol Yunnan.  During this period, he not only impeached the Duke of Guizhou, Mu Changzuo, for occupying more than 8,000 hectares of civilian land, but also supervised the military affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi and patrolled Guangdong. During this period, border defenses were strengthened to prevent the invasion of Jiaozhi soldiers.  He presided over the repair of embankments destroyed by floods in Nanhai, Shanshui, Gaoyao and other cities.  Because he had served in the local area for a long time, Zhou Jiamo was well aware of the suffering of the people and the difficulty of returning to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, after becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he did not promote his own people as the Donglin Party imagined.  Instead, they recognize people as virtuous and purge officials. They are one of the few hard-working factions in the Donglin Party.  His ability is second only to Zuo Guangdou, and even above Yang Lian.  Looking at Emperor Tianqi¡¯s expressionless face, the ministers below didn¡¯t know what the emperor¡¯s idea was, and they didn¡¯t speak.  There were several ministers from the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties who were eager to try, but they were all signaled by Fang Congzhe not to come forward.  This veteran of three dynasties has experienced countless ups and downs in officialdom, but he is a little confused about this sixteen-year-old emperor.  Although the emperor was only sixteen years old, his temperament was terrifyingly calm.  Before taking the throne, Killing Decisively was able to kill people by himself, which can be said to be very extraordinary.  I thought that the emperor would make some big moves after he ascended the throne, but unexpectedly he was very calm. This made Fang Congzhe think that this emperor was extraordinary even more.  Since Emperor Tianqi drove Li Ruhua back home, he must have his own ideas. It is better to wait and see at this time.  There is another thing that makes Fang Congzhe smell something strange, that is, Dongchang and Jinyiwei, the two yamen that were originally silent are now extremely busy.  Although no news has come out, and it is not known what these people are busy with, Fang Congzhe believes that it must be related to the Emperor Tianqi.  At this time, the Qianqing Palace was very quiet, all the ministers were silent, and Chen Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, was sweating coldly.  At this time, everyone's attention was focused on Emperor Tianqi, and they were all wondering what the emperor was thinking.  Looking at the ministers below, Emperor Tianqi smiled slightly, which should be rare in the history of the Ming Dynasty. He sighed softly, and Emperor Tianqi said slowly: "Since you have no objections, then this matter will be settled."  It¡¯s settled! It¡¯s nothing, just leave the court!¡± After saying that, they all walked out of the hall.  After Emperor Tianqi left the hall, there was a period of silence in the hall, followed by a burst of noise.  There are those who complain, there are those who congratulate, and so on.  When everyone was in a mess, the appearance of a person made the hall quiet again. This person was Chen Hong.  Chen Hong ignored these ministers and walked directly to Zhou Jiamo. He said with a smile: "We would like to congratulate Mr. Zhou first. Your Majesty has a decree to invite Mr. Zhou to the palace." Zhou Jiamo looked a little dazed at this time. He didn't expect that he would  In this way, he became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. He came back to his senses after hearing Chen Hong's words and walked behind Chen Hong.  At this time, Emperor Tianqi was waiting in the imperial study room of Qianqing Palace. When he saw Zhou Jiamo coming in, Emperor Tianqi smiled lightly and said, "Zhou Aiqing, please forgive me! Someone will give me a seat." When Zhou Jiamo sat down, Emperor Tianqi slowly  He said: "Zhou Aiqing is a Jinshi, right?" Zhou Jiamo was very nervous. He originally thought that Emperor Tianqi would talk about his promotion, but he didn't expect that Emperor Tianqi would actually chat with him about his daily life, but he did not dare to neglect, and said quickly: "Back to Your Majesty.  "I am a Jinshi in the fifth year of Longqing." "Well, Aiqing is already a senior member of the Four Dynasties. You must know what happened over the years. Emperor Shenzong loves Concubine Zheng and likes Prince Fu, but I and the late emperor are not very popular.  After all these years, I haven¡¯t had a decent teacher, let alone someone who can read the books of saints. The late emperor died early, and I succeeded to the throne hastily. I deeply feel that my knowledge is insufficient!¡± I glanced at Zhou Jiamo,  Emperor Tianqi said slowly, with a hint of sadness in his tone.  Zhou Jiamo has been deceived. He naturally knows these things. Not only did Emperor Shenzong dislike Emperor Taichang and his son, he even wished he could live without them!  In this way, he can pass the throne to Concubine Zheng's son, Prince Fu. One can imagine the life of the father and son.  Not to mention studying, he did not even have the minimum living security. Only when he was about to die did he make Emperor Taichang the prince and Emperor Tianqi the grandson.  They found a teacher for them, but it was too late by this time. Emperor Taichang was already thirty-nine years old, and Emperor Tianqi was already sixteen years old.  This was also the main reason for the stupidity of these two emperors. When Emperor Tianqi mentioned this matter, Zhou Jiamo really didn't know what to say.  Fortunately, Emperor Tianqi didn't ask him anything. He pondered for a moment, and then Emperor Tianqi continued: "I have been studying these days. I have gained some experience after so many days, but I also have a lot of confusion. I don't know if Zhou Aiqing can do anything for me."  Can I help you?" Looking at Emperor Tianqi's face, Zhou Jiamo became even more confused.What on earth did the emperor want to say?  Although he was a Jinshi, he was not famous for his knowledge. Why did such a thing come to him?  There was no time to think about it, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "I will tell you everything I know, and I will tell you everything." "Okay, very good." After hearing Zhou Jiamo's words, Emperor Tianqi was overjoyed and stood up slowly from behind the Long Bookcase.  , came to Zhou Jiamo's side and patted him on the shoulder.  Zhou Jiamo was immediately flattered. In the Ming Dynasty, it was rare for emperors and ministers to make such intimate gestures. Emperor Tianqi smiled and said lightly: "I read a passage a few days ago, but I forgot most of it. I don't know if I love you."  Have you heard of it?" "Please tell me, Your Majesty." "That's it. I only remember one sentence, which is: reading the book of sages, what is it?" "I wonder if Aiqing has heard of it?"  There was amusement in my heart, and I slowly asked my question.  After hearing this question, Zhou Jiamo's heart sank. Although he had some understanding, he didn't seem to grasp it yet, so he could only say slowly: "This sentence is a famous saying by Wen Tianxiang of the Southern Song Dynasty, which was left by him when he was dying.  "Does Aiqing know what this passage is about?" Seeing Zhou Jiamo's vague words, Emperor Tianqi asked the following questions.  "I remember that the full text goes like this: Confucius said to be benevolent, and Mencius said to seek righteousness. Only when the righteousness is fulfilled, benevolence is the best. What did you learn from reading the books of sages? From now on, you will have no regrets!" Zhou Jiamo had already guessed this at this time.  What was the Emperor Tianqi going to say? He secretly thought in his heart that this emperor was far more experienced than his age and was not as simple as he seemed.  Those ministers who tried to fool him would surely end badly.  But from another perspective, such an emperor is likely to be a good emperor, and may be a blessing to the country, the country, and all the people.  Today¡¯s first chapter
