Seeing the old servant handing the thing to Xu Guangqi's hand, Zhou Zhenglong's heart suddenly returned to his stomach, and he said: "Mr. Xu, let's do this! I'd better wait outside! If you need anything, call me."

Zhou Zhenglong knew the seriousness of this matter. Mr. Luo personally took care of it and repeatedly told him to keep it secret. It was obviously an extremely confidential matter. He did not want to have his family wiped out as soon as he returned to the capital.

"It's better for Zhou Qianhu to stay! A gentleman can always tell others, I am aboveboard and aboveboard, and there is no one I don't like." Xu Guangqi has been in high and low officialdom all his life, and he can naturally see Zhou Zhenglong's thoughts, but he will never let him.

This person hides. Sometimes people who share a secret are reliable.

Seeing Xu Guangqi's smile, Zhou Zhenglong knew that he couldn't leave. Although Mr. Xu said he was so aboveboard, in his actions he was completely cunning and cunning. No, he was cunning.

Gently opened the wooden box, revealing the contents inside. After seeing these three things, the three of them were stunned. It was a yellow scroll, and the golden silk was very dazzling in the sun. But it was even more dazzling.

But it was those two words on the scroll, imperial edict.

After seeing this thing, Xu Guangqi's body trembled violently, and he quickly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty Xu Guangqi comes to see my emperor, long live long live long live." After a long time, he slowly stood up.

Of course, there was Zhou Zhenglong who was kneeling behind him. At this time, Zhou Zhenglong finally felt relieved. That was an imperial edict! It would be a great achievement to go back this time, and he might even be able to become a high-ranking official of the Jin Yiwei!

With trembling hands, he took out the imperial edict and opened it slowly. Xu Guangqi turned his gaze to Zhou Zhenglong who was standing behind him. He said seriously: "Zhou Qianhu, you brought this edict. Besides, as a relative of the emperor, you

It is up to you to read out what is reasonable and reasonable."

After hearing what Xu Guangqi said, Zhou Yinglong immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said with a slight pause: "Mr. Xu is joking. Since Your Majesty is keeping it secret, it means that the contents of the imperial edict cannot be passed on to others. It is up to the old gentleman to read it himself! I think your Majesty will do the same.

this means."

After pondering for a moment, Xu Guangqi also figured out this joint, nodded slowly, opened the scroll with a serious face, and lowered his head to read.

What disappointed Xu Guangqi was that the imperial edict said nothing. It only said that after receiving the imperial edict, he should follow the visitor to Beijing immediately.

History of the Ming Dynasty, Annals of the Apocalypse.

In March of the first year of Taichang (October 1620) Emperor Tianqi secretly summoned Xu Guangqi to Beijing. This matter was extremely confidential and few people knew about it. After Xu Guangqi entered Beijing, his whereabouts were unknown.

Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch. While Xu Guangqi was preparing to enter Beijing, Emperor Tianqi was worried. On the second day after Emperor Tianqi left the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he indeed received the resignation letter from Li Ruhua, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

After hesitating, Emperor Tianqi agreed. The next step was to appoint a new Minister of Civil Affairs, but at this time Emperor Tianqi did not have a suitable candidate in mind. In the morning of this day, Emperor Tianqi threw this issue to the ministers.

"If something happens, go ahead early; if nothing happens, leave the court."

With Chen Hong's familiar shout, a new day begins again.

"Li Ruhua, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, submitted his resignation to me yesterday. Although I am reluctant to give it up, I feel sorry for his old age and frailty and can only accept it. However, the Ministry of Personnel cannot be without someone in charge. I wonder if any of you dear ministers have suitable candidates.

Candidate?" As soon as he came to court, Emperor Tianqi raised this issue, wanting to see what my ministers would say. This was also a test by Emperor Tianqi to see the struggle between these civil servants.

What exactly is it like?

After listening to Emperor Tianqi's words, there was a brief silence. Many ministers suddenly realized that this matter was not that simple. Many people had already gotten the news. Emperor Tianqi went to the Ministry of Personnel two days ago. In the past two days, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel

He has taken office. Many people realize that this matter is not that simple, but to these people, these are not important. What matters is who takes over.

The officials of each party have set their sights on their respective leaders. The Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties are naturally the chief minister Fang Congzhe at this time. Li Ruhua is a member of the Chu party. If someone from the Chu party cannot succeed this time, what will happen to the party?

It is undoubtedly a big loss for them.

Compared with the uneasiness in the hearts of the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu parties, the people of the Donglin party are secretly excited. If they can win the official position this time, then the Donglin party can do a lot more. It is just that it can make arrangements more conveniently.

The officials of the Donglin Party made these officials very excited. At this time, their eyes fell on Yang Lian, who was involved in the military affairs incident. Since the last incident, Yang Lian had become a vague figure in the court.

The leader of the Tanglin Party.

Seeing the ministers below exchange glances with each other, Emperor Tianqi lamented in his heart. The first thing these people thought of was not to promote talents, but to strive for the greatest interests for their own parties. Such disregard of national interests can

It is said that it is the sorrow of the Ming Dynasty, the sorrow of an era, the sorrow of the Chinese nation, and the sorrow of the entire history.

"I have this report." Just when Emperor Tianqi was thinking wildly, a man suddenly stood up. After a quick glance, he found that he was not familiar. It seemed that he was not a person in an important position. When the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty began, all the people on the stage stood up.

It's an insignificant person, here to test the emperor's reaction. If the emperor doesn't have any drastic reaction, then it's time to put pressure on him.

Looking back at Chen Hong, Chen Hong naturally understood what Emperor Tianqi meant, and whispered in Emperor Tianqi's ear: "This is Chen Qi, the household secretary, and a member of the Donglin Party." Regarding officials from various parties.

Although the data room is still under construction, preliminary results have been achieved. The person in charge of these data is Chen Hong, the newly favored eunuch who is following Emperor Tianqi.

Emperor Tianqi nodded expressionlessly and said calmly: "Since Chen Aiqing has something to say, let's say it! The Ming Dynasty does not block the way of speech."

"I recommend Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel." Chen Qi couldn't help but said loudly when Emperor Tianqi asked him to speak.

Zhou Jiamo is one of the thirteen ministers who care about life. Although he holds the title of Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, he is still in the capital at this time, and of course he is also in the main hall. There is still a very positive evaluation of Zhou Jiamo in history. At that time, the Ming Dynasty

The party struggle in the dynasty was very serious, and the officials could not make the final decision on the promotion of officials. Until Mr. Zhou became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he selected talents and appointed them. However, in the end, because his power was too small, he failed to succeed. He was later driven away by Wei Zhongxian.

, and was eventually killed by Wei Zhongxian.
