Chapter 103 Dong Lin Agreed to Change the Chief Assistant
Civil officials and Wu Xun have been growing wildly in the capital for so long, and they have already penetrated into the palace.
In the future, even Wei Zhongxian will not be able to prevent the big explosion at Wang Gong Factory and Tian Qi falling into the water and becoming seriously ill. These are definitely problematic events.
Therefore, the supporting role of my uncle can just fill the gap.
Write a reply.
Let me first let my uncle rest assured that he will not have to worry about food and clothing here. Although the winter in Liaodong is very cold, there are big brothers and two brothers, soldiers from Sichuan and Zhejiang, white pole soldiers, and other friendly troops. Everyone helps each other and trains together.
…
Let him rest assured by explaining your life, and then continue talking about "business".
... We must ensure that the uncle himself is not exposed, and that he is in harmony with everyone in the Donglin Party on the surface, and can even act out a drama of discord between the uncle and Eunuch Wei in front of Wang An and his informants...
...When the Donglin Party deals with Fang Congzhe, we can deal with Wang An, while their attention is on competing for the position in the court, and stabilize the affairs of the palace as soon as possible...
...Please be careful when it comes to military power, and don't show any intention of intervening in important towns such as Liaodong for the time being, but Yuan Yingtai...
In this way, the letter is concise and concise, including Yuan Yingtai's ugliness and mistakes, so that his uncle and Wei Zhongxian are aware of Yuan Yingtai's problems.
Finally, he asked that he and the generals of the Southern Army were loyal to His Majesty, and that everyone in Donglin, including Yuan Yingtai, had complaints.
Several of my uncle's cronies and messengers set off immediately.
The way he used his brother-in-law as his liaison was something the enemy would never think of and couldn't decipher.
Because it was Wei Zhongxian who started the action, as long as he did not contact Eunuch Wei directly, it would be difficult for the other party to detect it, and he would not take huge risks to intercept the letters between himself and his uncle.
Wei Zhongxian can send news to him through his brother-in-law and the joint store, which is very convenient.
Meng Biao was absolutely loyal, and his brother-in-law did not like fighting, lacked ambition, and was passionate about literature and art. He would not engage in small tricks with Wei Zhongxian behind his back.
This iron triangle has its own division of labor. As long as they don't expose themselves, the Donglin Party will be completely confused.
As for the Donglin Party, their internal fighting... is probably about to take effect.
…
The Procuratorate of the Capital City.
A group of people congratulated Zhao Nanxing, the new censor of Zuodu, at the gate.
"We are all happy together! Let's talk about it in my mansion."
Zhao Nanxing had just served as the right minister of the Ministry of Industry for three months, and now he was the top leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
After waiting for decades, we finally have the power of supervision.
When we got home, there was a lot of people in the forest.
Zhao Nanxing had a hot temper and said loudly: "Thanks to your majesty's trust, I, Zhao Nanxing, can help your majesty revive the imperial court."
"We will do our best to assist Your Majesty and make the Ming Dynasty prosperous!" Donglin's backbone Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Wang Wenyan and others responded in unison.
Zhao Nanxing nodded with satisfaction, but then changed the topic:
"Fang Congzhe and his gang from the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, the Qi Party... how can they run a good court with this group of insects!
Mobilize all the censors, all the officials, all the teachers, friends and students of Donglin, and launch a full-scale attack!"
"Yes! Look at me, Wang Wenyan, walking around, creating a flaming storm!"
Wang Wenyan, one of Donglin's two great think tanks, seemed to have fire in his eyes.
"Whoever dares to resist, I, Yang Lian, will definitely spray him to death!"
Yang Lian, who has the toughest temper, the strongest fighting spirit, the fiercest swearing, and the quickest attack in Donglin, stood up and expressed his position in a high-profile manner.
"Master Yang is responsible for saving His Majesty the most. Anyone who dares to resist you is going against the righteousness of the world, Minister Tuogu, and Kong Ming of the world!"
Wang Wenyan immediately praised him and set a positive tone for the operation.
Zou Yuanbiao, another of Donglin's three giants, also expressed his position: "This Fang Congzhe is unworthy of the title of Minister Tuogu, and we must get rid of him."
Other Donglin civil servants also expressed the need to replace the chief assistant.
Zou Yuanbiao continued: "Fang Congzhe committed a serious crime in the Hongwan case and seriously neglected his duties in the palace transfer case. We should carry forward our righteousness, seize these two cases, and impeach Fang Congzhe."
"good!"
Zou Yuanbiao came up with a plan again, how to divide the work among everyone, report the impeachment in order, and then who would be responsible for building momentum. The layout was very professional.
Zhao Nanxing also nodded in agreement, and a consensus was reached on this matter.
Then he gave Gao Panlong a hidden hint.
Gao Panlong, the backbone of Donglin, saw him and said loudly: "Then we should nominate a new chief assistant, right? I wonder what everyone thinks?"
Everyone started talking, and soon several candidates were heard.
Zhao Nanxing secretly observed Zou Yuanbiao. He knew that the two had different ideas about this matter and wanted to test it out this time.
Although Zou Yuanbiao was lame, he still had a clear mind and knew that his power was not comparable to that of Zhao Nanxing. He wanted to take charge of the civil service, which caused a huge conflict with Zhao Nanxing.
"After removing Fang Congzhe, I will recommend Ye Xianggao as the chief assistant."
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
Zhao Nanxing was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled and said: "Mr. Nan Gao recommended Ye Xianggao, and I also agree very much."
"Ye Xianggao is suitable..."
"He was once a cabinet bachelor..."
"He once led Shilin to call for the abolition of mining taxes. He is indeed a role model for our generation..."
After the two giants expressed their stance, many others in Donglin also agreed.
The two topics discussed today went very well, and everyone criticized the current affairs for a while before leaving with unfinished content until late at night.
After the wise man Wang Wenyan left, he secretly came back.
Zhao Nanxing personally entered the secret room before speaking:
"It is said that Zou Yuanbiao originally wanted to manage the civil service department by himself, and wanted me to be the chief assistant in the cabinet. We used Ye Xianggao as the chief assistant to suppress his ambition. Today he suddenly changed his mind. Could it be that he quit in the face of difficulties?"
Of course Wang Wenyan also noticed it. He carefully recalled every word of Zou Yuanbiao and what happened some time ago...
"No, he is retreating in order to advance!"
This Donglin think-tank is best at official affairs. He is famous for his ability to observe people, and he has great eyesight in this regard.
"My lord has been promoted, and the cabinet has been arranged according to your plan. However, Zou Yuanbiao has a lower position. Everyone will think that he should be promoted."
After listening to the think tank's analysis, Zhao Nanxing had a headache.
I want to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel responsible for the appointment of officials, but now the Yushi of Zuodu is just trying to rectify the enemy faction.
If he is promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and continues to be promoted, I am afraid that some people will complain that Zou Yuanbiao has not been promoted.
In that case, the discord within the Donglin Party would become public.
In the future, it will be much more difficult to attract people to Donglin.
Wang Wenyan continued his analysis: "You can first give him the position of the Ministry of Personnel. This position is very high and will satisfy him. When you are promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, you can then give him the position of Zuodu Yushi.
Zou Yuanbiao is not familiar with the officialdom and cannot make waves in the civil service, so he still has to listen to the Lord. Two years later, he was promoted to Zuodu Yushi, which can be regarded as a consecutive promotion, so he should be able to feel the kindness of the Lord."
Zhao Nanxing thought for a while. Zou Yuanbiao was famous but his connections were far inferior to his own. This arrangement would not ruin the plan.
