Chapter 1,054: Overestimating one’s abilities

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 After all, Wang Tianguan has restrained his temper in the past two years. Otherwise, when he opens his mouth at this time, he should ask...

"You are so capable, how about I leave the six ministerial books to you?"

Of course, the expression is a little more euphemistic nowadays, but the meaning is still the same.

Since you, Zhang Tongzhi, don't feel pain in your back when you stand and talk like this, why don't you come up with a solution?

What, you said you can't take it out?

Looking at Wang Wen, who was holding the wat board in his hand and looking at him with a smile, Zhang Min felt inexplicably that he had an urge to try.

Thinking of Mr. Wang's various achievements, Zhang Xi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his momentum weakened unconsciously. But in this hall, in full view of everyone, he didn't want to be underestimated, so in the end, he became a

The deputy said in a tone that was obviously tough on the outside but strong on the inside.

"Every government office in the imperial court naturally performs its own duties. If I can relieve your Majesty's worries, I will naturally do my best and work hard. However, I am subordinate to the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army, and is neither the Ministry of Rites, nor the Ministry of Household Affairs, nor the Ministry of Works.

If these problems are solved by me, what is the use of six departments?"

"Oh, it turns out that Zhang Tongzhi is just talking and has no good plan. In this case..."

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Wang Wen's mouth, and he said in a calm tone.

"Then I dare to ask Zhang Tongzhi whether he is the incompetent person you call him?"

"you!"

Zhang Xi was immediately a little angry, but for a moment, he couldn't think of anything to say in reply.

Seeing this situation, Wang Wen's expression turned cold, he gently shook his sleeves, turned around, and said with only one sentence.

"If you don't have a good plan, just keep silent. The court is the place to discuss political affairs. It's not the place where Zhang Tongzhi only knows how to flatter and accuse the ministers without any reason. He has no plans and no lies. That's what really attracts people's attention.

It has lowered the standard of tutoring in the British government!"

The implication is, if you can't come up with a solution, just shut up.

It has to be said that Wang Tianguan's skills are not the same as before, and he still chokes people to death without repaying his life. Of course, the repeated fines have obviously made Wang Tianguan grow up a lot, and he has gradually learned how to avoid being caught and angry to death.

This is not like Shen Jing did, who explicitly moved Zhang Fu out, but it is almost the same. The three brothers of the Zhang family, Zhang Fu and Zhang Fu, are all dead. This represents the style of British public tutors.

Let’s look at Zhang Xian himself and the little British prince who is still studying.

Zhang Xi's face turned red and he was about to retort, but he never thought that at this time, Zhu Yi stood up and said.

"Why is Master Tianguan so aggressive?"

"As you have just said, you can speak your mind freely when discussing matters in the court. If it is just the Ministry of Households discussing household affairs, and the Ministry of Works discussing matters of the Ministry of Works, then it is a ministry meeting, so why bother to bring it up to the court in the morning?"

"Although the imperial court has its own affairs, it is normal for everyone to express their own opinions in the court. Zhang Tongzhi just expressed his own thoughts. If it is wrong, Master Tianguan will argue with reason."

"If you are in the court, no matter your background, you are all your Majesty's ministers. Even if Zhang Tongzhi's words were inappropriate, there is no need to involve the British government. As for Lord Shen's mention of the late King Dingxing just now, it is even more inappropriate."

"In the battle of Tumu, hundreds of officials were in trouble. This was because a traitor caused chaos. All the ministers died in battle due to their loyalty. How can I say that they died for the country? Such words are frivolous. How can they be consistent with the words of a saint?"

After the British government and the Chengguo government got married, the two governments had already been on the same side, so it was not surprising that Zhu Yi came forward to speak for Zhang Min.

These words were clearly biased, but they were said beautifully, which was much better than Zhang Xi's.

However, how could Wang Tianguan give up easily? He sneered and said.

"Whether it is in line with the words of the sage, I naturally know in my heart. The Duke is still young, and he still needs to practice the principles of the sage. If the Duke intends to discuss the words of the sage with me, after a few days of delay, he will

You might as well ask for your majesty's permission to come together, and I will definitely explain it clearly to the Duke."

As soon as these words came out, many of the ministers couldn't help but have a hint of joking on their faces, and some officials even couldn't help but laugh slightly.

Wang Tianguan is indeed still Wang Tianguan, what a mouth he has... just say that you are a young junior and want to talk to me about the principles of saints, so you should go back and study for a few more years.

But yes, Duke Cheng Guo didn't even look at the person in front of him. Although Wang Wen usually had a bad mouth, he took the right path of the imperial examination. Back then, he was less than thirty and got the Jinshi. Zhu Yi was the only one.

Discussing the principles of saints with him, a noble disciple, is somewhat like trying to do what you want.

This was clearly a taunt, so that many of the noble military ministers on the opposite side became a little ugly. However, Zhu Yi's face was calm and there was no special reaction, and he said.

"Thank you, Lord Tianguan, for your suggestion. If your Majesty has given your permission to allow our prince to enter Jingyan, I should have a good discussion with all of you."

"However, what my Duke and Zhang Tongzhi want to say is actually nothing more than one sentence. The imperial court has appointed hundreds of civil and military officials to perform their respective duties and assist His Majesty. The purpose is to share His Majesty's worries and solve the complicated government affairs."

"When you are living in a temple, you should not only do everything properly, but at least you should try your best. If there are difficulties and things have not been done, it is common sense to complain to your majesty for help. How can something not be done?

, what’s the point of complaining blindly and putting Your Majesty in a dilemma?”

"Only when civil and military ministers perform their duties and serve with all their loyalty can we live up to the country's debt, right?"

These words were reasonable and well-founded, but they made Wang Wen frown.

For some reason, this seemed to be true, but when he heard it, he always felt that it was like standing and talking without pain in his back. As soon as he thought of this, Mr. Wang couldn't help but complain.

"That sounds nice, but I wonder how many useful things Duke Cheng has done for the court since he inherited the title? How many battles have he fought?"

If Zhu Yi had a very strong purpose and advocated mostly related to the prince before he attacked, he still did a few things. Then, after the attack, how many times did he become active in the court?

, indeed not much.

Moreover, since we talk about the separation of civil and military affairs, then civil affairs govern and military affairs fight. As a top noble, have you, Cheng Guogong, ever fought in a war?

Wang Wen's question was a little tricky, with his familiar rogue aura. You know, Zhu Yi is so young and has just ascended to the throne, so where can he fight...

However, in the face of this clearly embarrassing statement, Zhu Yi was not angry and held her hands in front of her.

"What Master Tianguan said is reasonable. I am ashamed of myself. I have been favored by my country, but I have never been to the battlefield. However, this is also because the world is peaceful and the court is full of talents. Therefore, there is no need for such a young nobleman like me to lead the army.

Go to war."

"However, the imperial court has civil and military affairs, and it is not necessary to fight on the battlefield in order to be loyal to the country. Your Majesty has great talents and broad strategies. Since he came to the throne, he has quelled the chaos on the border, welcomed the emperor, opened mutual markets, dug large canals, organized military camps, and established

Every one of them is a major event, and every one of them has its difficulties."

"However, with so many major events, thanks to the heroic judgment of His Majesty and the joint efforts of all ministers, everything has been handled properly. Not to mention the military camp reorganization that has just been completed by the Ministry of War, and the military attachés who are currently under strict investigation by the military government.

Isn’t it difficult to deal with corruption?”

"However, in the former case, Shaobao was not afraid of difficulties and worked hard, and in the latter case, the military government worked hard to cooperate, and now they are all very effective. Such actions are what the country's Qiancheng should do!"

The fox's tail is indeed exposed...

Although Zhu Yi had made so much preparation before this, when he finished speaking, many of the ministers present looked at him in unison, and they keenly captured the key words in Zhu Yi's words.

No matter how much he said before, the final focus was on the Ministry of War's military camp reorganization and the current military government reorganization.

No wonder it was Zhang Shi who took the lead this time. Wasn't it him who proposed the idea of ​​rectifying the military government in the first place?

What are you doing now, showing off your merits?

Also, what does Zhu Yi want to do by involving the Ministry of War's military garrison organization?

Could it be that he wanted to say that the Ministry of War was busy, so the Ministry of War was excluded from the subsequent reorganization of the military government?

Suddenly, many thoughts flashed through the minds of the ministers present, and their eyes passed over Zhang Shi and others, looking quite thoughtful.

As expected, when Zhu Yi mentioned this matter, the emperor pondered for a moment and then asked.

"It has been several months since the military government was reorganized, but have there been any results?"

So, everyone looked at the several military governors in the palace. Unexpectedly, before Fan Guang, the Bo of Jing'an who was appointed to take charge of the matter, spoke, Wang Qin, the governor of the rear army, stood up.

,road.

"Your Majesty has made it clear that I have carried out your Majesty's decree to investigate the illegal officials of the Military Government reported by Zhang Xi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Military Governor's Mansion. Now, the eight persons involved in the Rear Army Governor's Mansion have been clearly verified. The details are here. Please ask Your Majesty to inform you.

View.”

After saying that, he took out a memorial from his hand and presented it.

A chamberlain walked down the imperial steps and presented the memorial to the emperor. He opened the memorial and the emperor glanced at it briefly.

At the same time, Wang Qin below continued.

"Your Majesty, the officials of the Rear Army Governor's Office were able to conduct a thorough investigation so quickly this time, all thanks to Zhang Tongzhi who ran around, carefully investigated, and produced a lot of evidence. As far as I know, the Inspector of the Central Army Governor's Office and the Left Army Governor's Office

The investigation is coming to an end, and I believe that within a month or so, a complete memorial will be submitted to put an end to this matter."

After hearing these words, all the important ministers present had a general idea in their hearts.

Sure enough, he is still showing his merit for Zhang Shi!

When Zhang Fu impeached officials in the military government earlier, he actually wanted to gain control of the military government. However, unfortunately, the emperor did not admit his fault and instead appointed Wang Qin as the governor of the rear army governor's office in order to alienate Cheng.

The relationship between the Duke's government and the British government.

Now it seems that Zhu Yi must have realized this, so he began to join forces with Wang Qin to promote Zhang Fu to power again.

However, this method is a bit crude. If nothing else, it may not be possible...

You must know that although this rectification of the military government is considered a self-examination, the emperor has a decree that the central military governor's office should be the main one. Therefore, strictly speaking, Wang Qin's solo presentation is actually an overstep of his authority. Even if he takes ten thousand steps back,

It can be regarded as not giving Fan Guang face.

After all, it is somewhat of a bad rule for those who have passed the throne to report first. Moreover, if your rear army commander's office investigates so quickly, where can you put the face of the central army commander's office?

He secretly took a look at Fan Guang's face next to him, and sure enough, after Governor Fan came to his senses, his expression was quite ugly, and he was obviously very angry.

Soon, the emperor who preceded him also finished reading the memorial. However, the emperor did not say much about the content of the memorial. He casually placed the memorial on the imperial eucalyptus. The old man did not pay attention to Wang Qin who was working hard to express his merits for Zhang Shi.

He asked Fan Guang.

"Captain Fan, before I ordered you to take charge of this matter and conduct a thorough investigation of those impeached in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. How is the investigation going now?"

He held the memorandum reporting the progress in his hand, but he seemed not to have seen it, and still asked Fan Guang how the progress was. This was the emperor's attitude.

Seeing this situation, Wang Qin and Zhang Xi couldn't help but look a little embarrassed, and the ministers next to them looked at them strangely.

This couldn't help but make the civil servants on the side chuckle inwardly. It seemed that Mr. Zhang, the British prince, still didn't understand his status in the court.

This kind of behavior that exceeds one's level and shows merit is not impossible, but it must be condoned by the person in charge in order to be useful.

If we say that Zhang Shi is now a close confidant of the Emperor, if he does this, the Emperor will push the boat along. Even if Fan Guang is dissatisfied, he can only endure it.

After all, the fact that this memorial can be produced shows that something has been accomplished.

But the problem is that Fan Guang was the one promoted by the emperor, while Zhang Shi and Wang Qin only took advantage of the current situation to rise to power.

In this case, if you go beyond the host to play, it would be strange if you don't get left alone!

When the emperor asked questions, he naturally had to answer, so even though he was a little hasty, Fan Guang only hesitated a little before he stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, please report that after receiving the order, I joined forces with Governor Zhao of the Left Army Governor's Office and Governor Wang of the Rear Army Governor's Palace to basically find out the situation. Judging from the current situation, the circumstances of Zhang Tongzhi's impeachment are basically true."

"But there are still a few people, and the evidence found is not enough to convict. I originally wanted to wait until everything was investigated clearly before making a report. Unexpectedly, the King's Governor has taken care of everything in the Rear Army Governor's Mansion. Please rest assured, Your Majesty.

I will investigate this matter as soon as possible and make a detailed report."

After saying this, many ministers present felt a little regretful.

After all, Fan Guang is still an honest person. Even if Wang Qin and others have achieved this, he is still relatively objective in his speech, and does not deliberately lead in a direction that is not conducive to Zhang Xi, and even affirms his role.

They asked themselves, in this situation, if it were them, there would be 800 ways to make these two people feel ashamed.

Pity……

After hearing these words, the emperor also frowned, but in the end he didn't say much, he just said.

"In that case, let's speed up the progress and finish this matter quickly, then write a detailed report and submit it, and let's discuss it later."

"yes……"

Fan Guang bowed his head to accept the order and retreated. At the same time, Wang Qin and Zhang Xi, who were embarrassed, also retreated in despair.

From now on, the emperor has been asking about Fan Guang, without even looking at them. If he continues to stay where he is, he is simply asking for self-humiliation.

Seeing that the palace became quiet, Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment and then said.

"If there are no objections to the kings' departure from the capital, the Ministry of Rites can start making arrangements. As for the transfer of feudal vassals, since all the ministries feel that this matter is difficult, they will go down and discuss it again and come up with a solution."

"That's it for today, let's break up the court..."
