Guan Shouzhen, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty cabinet, invited Tang Zhen, the think tank, to have a drink. After being the chief minister for many years, he has the magnanimity of a prime minister. Although he is anxious and angry in his heart, he does not show it on his face.
"Zhuwan, green ant's new fermented wine, a small red clay stove, and the blooming plum blossoms are a bit interesting, please." Guan Shoufu first offered Tang Zhen a glass of wine.
"Please, Mr. Ge", Tang Zhen smiled slightly and drank it all in one gulp.
One pot, one pot, and two wine glasses. There were many things in the pot that were very affordable, including chicken, duck, fish, cabbage, and radish. It was like the hot pot of later generations. The two of them looked at the plum blossoms and drank happily.
"Alas!"
Guan Shouzhen suddenly sighed heavily and said to Tang Zhen: "Winter is about to go and spring is coming. After all, the spring scenery in the garden cannot be contained!"
This sentence is actually a metaphor, using "the garden is full of spring scenery and cannot be stopped", implying that no matter how hard one's faction tries, it cannot stop political enemy Sun Jinding from returning to Beijing.
The dignified chief minister spoke with such proficiency that ordinary people could not understand what he meant. But Tang Zhen was not an ordinary person, but a rare and talented man in the world. A man with a wealth of knowledge, he could naturally understand Guan chief minister's Pili Yangqiu.
.
Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, "Is there any difference between the spring scenery this year and previous years?"
This sentence is also a cryptic meaning, which trick you used to drive Sun Jinding out of Beijing, this is the trick you used this time.
Being able to be the chief assistant who is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, Guan Shouzhen naturally has a lot of time, and he instantly understood what Tang Zhen meant.
Yes, praise and kill!
At that time, he used the trick of "praising and killing" to drive Sun Jinding away as a slave to drink from the north wind. I think back then, many officials impeached Sun Jinding, but no matter how he was impeached, the Holy One protected him. It was Tang Zhen.
He persuaded himself to use the strategy of "praising and killing" and mobilized civil and military officials to defend Sun Jinding. As a result, the emperor saw that there were so many people supporting Sun Jinding, especially many military generals who also said good things for him. What if he could not be defeated in the future?
What to do? Immediately demote Sun Jinding to Nuerqian as governor.
This is a good move! This is a wonderful move! Since ancient times, what emperors have been most afraid of is that the prestige and power of their ministers exceeds their own. His great achievements will shock the Lord! Sun Jinding has made such great achievements and has a great reputation. How can the Holy One not be afraid of him? He is the one who is praised and killed.
Good time!
??
Under the manipulation of thoughtful people, the DPRK called on the emperor to reward Sun Jinding heavily.
Zhu Hengjia received hundreds of memorials, all of which were requests for promotion and promotion for Sun Jinding. This group of people included high-ranking officials such as censors, central officials of the six ministries, governors from various places, and generals who led troops??<
/p>
Emperor Guangwu couldn't sleep now, he was sour and frightened. What was sour was that the recovery of Nerchinsk was my strategy, and Sun Jinding was just following orders. Why did these officials only mention Sun Jinding but not me? What if?
The restoration of the earth belongs to Sun Jinding alone. What about me? Where do you put me? What is surprising is that so many people speak for Sun Jinding. His power is so great. I am alive and confident that I can conquer him.
But if I die, can he be as loyal to my son as he is to me? What should I do if he has different intentions in the future?
The more the old emperor thought about it, the more worried he became. He wanted to postpone calling Sun Jinding back to the capital and let him stay in northern Xinjiang for a few more years. But this was not appropriate. After all, Sun Jinding had been blowing cold winds in northern Xinjiang for five years, and this time it happened again.
He has made great achievements, and if he is not called back to the capital, wouldn't it mean that people say that I treat the heroes poorly? I was able to ascend the throne and become the emperor because of the support of these old brothers. I also conquered the country with them. It's cold.
The old brothers are feeling bad!
I'm in a dilemma, and it's hard to sleep late at night.
Suddenly, I thought of the great scholar Zheng Feng. Over the years, I had developed the habit of asking Zheng Feng when I was in doubt about important matters.
Among the dragon heroes, Zheng Feng is very special. The emperor is brothers with others, but he and Zheng Feng are friends. There are many things that cannot be said to brothers, but can be said to friends. And usually, the emperor mainly treats Zheng Feng as
Zhu Hengjia was especially reassured by this fact, so he was willing to discuss everything with him.
"Your Majesty, what do you want from me?" Zheng Feng came with a calm gait, wearing his signature faint smile, which was vaguely visible and filled with warmth.
"Zheng Qing, take a look at these," Zhu Hengjia pointed at the memorials piled up like a hill.
Zheng Feng looked at it for a while and saw that they were all asking for promotion for Sun Jinding. He couldn't help but feel happy, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"Zheng Qing, you are the person who understands me best, and I won't hide it from you. Sun Jinding's power is so great. Who can control it after a hundred years?"
"Plop!"
Zheng Feng laughed out loud, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. It is not so much that Mr. Sun Ge is powerful, but that your Majesty is powerful."
"Oh, what do you mean by this?"
"If Mr. Sun Ge is really so powerful, why haven't anyone come to Shu to request that he be called back to the capital all these years? The main reason why these people go to Shu to request a title for him is because you often praise him these days.
, they speculated on the holy will, and naturally wanted to go to Shu to ask for the title of Mr. Sun Ge. So it is not that Mr. Sun Ge is powerful, but that your Majesty is powerful."
"Oh, that's the truth." Zhu Hengjia smiled secretly. He actually forgot about this problem. The human heart is the most ugly. There are few offers of help in times of trouble and many icings on the cake! He couldn't help but feel relieved a lot.
"How old is your majesty, Changsun Ge?"
"I am four years older than him."
Zheng Feng smiled even more happily, "I heard that Empress De is pregnant with a dragon seed, and I would like to congratulate Your Majesty!"
This scratched Zhu Hengjia's itch, and he said proudly: "Zheng Qing, even though I am already sixty years old, my sword is still young. Hahaha!"
"Your Majesty's body is much stronger than that of Mr. Sun Ge. Mr. Sun Ge has many wives and concubines, but it is difficult to have more children!"
Zhu Hengjia understood what Zheng Feng meant: You are only four years older than Sun Jinding. You have had a baby this year, but he has not, which shows that your health is better than his. So, don’t worry about what will happen to you a hundred years from now, he might die.
In front of you.
After hearing Zheng Feng's words, Zhu Hengjia was completely relieved and sighed, "I haven't seen Lao Sun for five years, and I really miss him in my heart!"
??
On March 3, the twelfth year of the reign of Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty, Grand Scholar Sun Jinding finally returned to Nanjing.
The emperor was so proud of him that he personally led hundreds of officials to greet him.
"Sun Qing!"
"Your Majesty!"
After more than five years, the two old brothers reunited again, and couldn't help but burst into tears. This year, Zhu Hengjia was 68 years old and Sun Jinding was 64 years old.
Sun Jinding is back, and the Sun Party will naturally revive.
Guo Duxian, the former left minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was originally serving as an official at home, was promoted to minister of the Ministry of Rites; Wan Ao, who was driven to Annan to serve as governor, was promoted to governor of Nuerqian; Jinbao, who was demoted to Taiwan to enjoy the sea breeze, became the censor of the right capital; Ding
Shi Ji succeeded Wan Ao and went to Annan as governor.
Zhu Hengjia did not stop Sun Jinding from reusing his party members, but secretly supported him. After all, the power of Guan Shouzhen, the first assistant, was too great, and it would be good to have someone to check and balance him. In addition, the emperor also supported other important ministers such as Su Guansheng and Zheng Feng.
.
In the government, the more factions there are, the more stable it is. Since ancient times, the emperor has divided the ministers into many factions and let them fight with each other, so that the imperial power can be stable.
