The story of "Kaifeng Mansion" is over, but the aftermath has set off numerous undercurrents, and even the cabinet bosses have been alarmed.
After carefully reading the story of "Kaifeng Mansion", the cabinet boss was so angry that his face turned black as ink, and he couldn't hold back his anger and cursed loudly.
What is cruelty?
Such silent means of public opinion are truly sharp.
What kind of world have cabinet bosses not seen?
Even if they spend a little time thinking, with their experience and knowledge, they can quickly figure out the doorway to it.
As long as you grasp the core interests, you can basically see everything clearly.
In the story of "Kaifeng Mansion", the most unforgettable, or thrilling, plot is all in the final battle for the inheritance.
Song Yingzong was born in the royal palace. Even the cabinet bosses couldn't help but feel the slightest admiration in their hearts when they saw it.
But because of this, the cabinet bosses were full of vigilance even as they admired it.
Things like forming cliques happen all the time in official circles, but the key is not to blatantly put them on the table.
Which cabinet boss does not have the support of numerous officials behind him?
The origins of these officials are very simple. They are either classmates or fellow villagers in the same year, or they have become imperial examination examiners, so the candidates of that class are naturally their own students and are selected from them.
If you really want to talk about it, it is very similar to the so-called list of good deeds made by the palace of Song Yingzong in order to win over officials in the novel.
But this method is originally the most common method of forming cliques in officialdom.
In the novel, this method is only described in a more exaggerated way.
It would be fine if the novel "Kaifeng Mansion" had no influence, but this newly released novel is very popular. It is not only famous in the capital, but also spreading its influence to the entire north at an extraordinary speed.
The emperor in the palace must know about it, and may even have read the wonderful novel "Kaifeng Mansion".
The emperor himself was very suspicious and ill. I wonder what he would think after reading the novel.
Once there is a defensive mentality in their hearts today, it will not be easy for them, the court bosses, to promote their disciples, old officials, and promising juniors in the future.
Jia Rong is really hateful!
It's a pity that this guy didn't hang out in the officialdom, otherwise the cabinet bosses would have to make him know what it means to talk trouble into words.
Isn't it just that the guys from Yushitai have been slandered? There is no need to be so cruel, right? Just give the court officials a wave of indiscriminate blows?
In fact, the suspicion at this time was indeed aroused by the final plot of "Kaifeng Mansion".
Just thinking about the possibility that some big shots in the court, or royal relatives, secretly bribed a large number of middle- and lower-level officials makes me feel bad.
Apart from anything else, which one of the cabinet ministers is not his disciple and former official all over the world?
Of course, the unhappiness in my heart is just unhappiness, and it does not reach the point of deliberately guarding against it.
I just didn't expect that Jia Rong, the head of the Ning Mansion, would have such a deep understanding of court battles, just like a veteran who hangs out in the court.
It is estimated that it is related to the core inheritance such as the handwritten notes left by the previous heads of the Ning Mansion.
But I have to say that after listening to the complete story of "Kaifeng Mansion", I am now more wary of the civil servant group, but I have a bit more favorable impression of the Xungui Group.
As described in the book, there is no doubt that new officials who are new to officialdom are easily bribed.
Especially those middle and lower-level officials who have no backing or connections and can only suffer miserably are more likely to be taken down.
It's just that there is nothing we can do today. There are only so many officialdom holes in the world, and it is simply impossible to properly arrange them.
When an emperor wants to be able to balance the strength of all parties, most of them are really powerless.
On the contrary, it is not that simple and easy to bribe the nobles who are firmly bound to the royal family.
Of course, the Xungui family is also the force most likely to be involved in the struggle for the throne.
From a visual point of view, today's aristocratic families are not very popular, and they are not very pleasing to the eye. Sometimes I wish I could wipe out all the powerful families in one go.
But if you think about it carefully, the Xungui Group is a reliable force that balances the power of the civil servants in the court. You can't expect that the civil servants group will really fight with each other, right?
Of course, no matter how many considerations you have in your mind, you cannot easily express them with your mouth today.
Who said that the emperor at this time has not yet completely controlled the court, and most of the noble forces are on the emperor's side?
In the past, I basically didn’t have a good impression of the Xungui Group.
In addition, there are many dandies in the Xungui family, and I have heard a lot of weird things about the dandies in the Xungui family, so the perception is not that simple.
If Jia Rong, the head of the Ning Mansion, had not written three consecutive novels, the plots of which severely exposed the vileness and despicability of the civil service group, I am afraid that people today would not have changed their minds at all.
In fact, in the later period of The Story of Red Mansions, the Xungui Group was almost completely destroyed. The landmark event was that Jia Yucun became the Grand Sima, that is, the post of Minister of the Ministry of War. The civil service group completely took control of one of the lifeblood of the Xungui Group.
,
Although the Ministry of War does not care about marching or fighting, its authority is very critical.
For example, the allocation of ordnance, food and grass, the review and appointment of mid-level and lower-level officers, and other functions and powers are very important.
The civil service group can completely use the Ministry of War to suppress and infiltrate the group of noble generals, thus completely dominating the group.
Of course, unless something like the Tumubao Incident occurs, the group of distinguished generals will not completely languish.
But once the civil servant group becomes completely bigger, the status and voice of the noble and military general groups will decline to a rather embarrassing point.
Fortunately, although the three novels written by Jia Rong did not directly target the civil service group, they did expose some of its shortcomings.
Fortunately, now everyone has heard it and is taking action.
Perhaps the cabinet bosses have noticed that the current attitude has changed slightly, and this is what is most difficult for them to accept.
It can only be said that the Song Dynasty made a very bad start, which made the civil servant group have a very urgent desire to control the government.
In the story of Red Mansions, the four major families in Jinling encounter various problems, including their own problems and troubles caused by the general environment.
For example, Wang Ziteng died in such a depressing manner.
With his previous momentum, even if he were given up now, the most he would do is to be placed somewhere to live in retirement, and it would be impossible for him to directly commit murder.
But in the end, Wang Ziteng died at the hands of a quack doctor. Talking about it is like telling a joke, but no reader with a normal mind would believe it...
