Wang Yuan had just walked out of the Leopard Room Garden when he was suddenly stopped by Jiang Bin.
Wang Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Zhu Qiandu!"
Jiang Bin flattered him and said: "The king's minister raised an army to destroy the country and shocked the world. He is really a role model for all ministers. I admire you so much!"
"Where," Wang Yuan also said with a smile, "Zhu Qiandu controls the four towns and has good military training. He is really a rare general."
Jiang Bin said: "I will take care of His Majesty's worries."
Wang Yuan said: "To each other."
Jiang Bin actually resented Wang Yuan in his heart, because that kick almost killed him.
Wang Yuan also disliked Jiang Bin. The civil servants and the common people at least had to cover up. Jiang Bin's actions can be said to have no scruples. Just two years ago, this man forcibly demolished Jiqingfang and Mingyufang and used them all.
Come and transform it into an imperial hotel. Those are two cities in the capital. They are simply lawless and have forced many people to become homeless!
But what can be done?
Wang Yuan was in the emperor's heart, so Jiang Bin could only give in; Jiang Bin was deeply favored, so Wang Yuan could only ignore it.
If no one can kill the other, then there is no need to attack each other. Unless one day they can kill each other with one move, there will be no benefit to each of them in quarreling.
Jiang Bin walked with Wang Yuan for a while and suddenly said: "Wang Shilang is free someday, why not go to Mingyu Tower for a drink together?"
"Let's wait another day. I appreciate Zhu Qiandu's kindness. I'm just sharing your majesty's worries, why should I be so polite?" Wang Yuan declined politely.
Jiang Bin smiled apologetically and said, "Shilang Wang is right."
Mingyulou is a restaurant built by Jiang Bin after demolishing private houses. How could Wang Yuan agree to go there for a drink?
Jiang Bin probed again: "Last year, the Tatars invaded the south. I wonder what Shilang Wang thinks?"
Wang Yuan said: "It all depends on your Majesty."
Jiang Bin suddenly felt confident, clasping his fists and saying: "Shilang Wang understands the righteousness, and he is indeed His Majesty's loyal minister."
Wang Yuan boarded the chariot and drove away.
Jiang Bin looked at the three hairs on Wang Yuan's head with envy and thought about getting some of them himself.
It will happen soon. Jiang Bin has commanded the armies of the four towns and has achieved results after two years of training. In a few months, he will encourage Zhu Houzhao to hold a military parade. Zhu Houzhao will even personally command an army as the central army.
It was just a military parade. Because the army was well-trained, Zhu Houzhao was very happy. He rewarded Jiang Bin with three hairs, Xu Tai, Li Cong, Shen Zhou and other generals with two hairs, and the Minister of War, Wang Qiong, all had one hair. Compared with Wang Yuan's death,
For the merits of the country, such a reward is almost child's play, and it simply lowers the qualifications of the crown and the three heroes.
Zhu Houzhao is so casual. As long as he is happy and is too lazy to reward you one by one, he will just reward you with three yings, regardless of how to increase the reward in the future.
Jiang Bin slowly returned to the school grounds, and Xu Tai said puzzledly: "Commander, why do you need to get close to him? He is a civil servant, and we can't get along with him after all."
"I don't want his help, as long as he doesn't cause trouble," Jiang Bin said worriedly, "Your Majesty's personal expedition will inevitably lead to criticism from the ministers. If there is one less opponent, there will be one less."
Xu Tai smacked his lips: "That's right."
This group of generals have been training in the capital for two years. Although they are constantly promoted, they always want to get more credit. As long as they go out with the emperor to fight and don't come back with a big defeat, a small defeat can be turned into a big victory.
, when the time comes, you will have everything you need to be promoted to an official position.
The most troublesome thing is the opposition from the civil servants. Now that Jiang Bin has won over Wang Qiong, the Minister of War, and Lu Wan, the Minister of Personnel, and has secured Wang Yuan, a popular figure in the royal family, the resistance will be greatly reduced.
What is Jiang Bin's current position?
Commander-in-Chief Qian Shi, also known as Commander-in-Chief Qian, was a second-grade military attache. His promotion was like riding a rocket.
But Jiang Bin didn't think it was enough. He didn't even look down on his fellow commanders. If he wanted to climb to the position of commander of the fifth army, it would be best to add the title of San Gong and San Gu. Then he would squeeze Qian Ning out of the way and add Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
Once the power is gained, who in the government and the public will dare not to obey?
With all this going on, we must fight!
Jiang Bin is relatively sensible now. When he comes back from winning the battle with the emperor, he will be the real ultimate boss. He will be given the title of earl, admiral of the Twelve Capital Camps, admiral of Dongchang, and admiral of Jinyiwei. Duke Cheng Guo will all be given to Jiang Bin.
The chief inspector knelt down, and the Duke of Wei and his ministers stood beside Jiang Bin to listen to orders at any time. At that time, Jiang Bin became so domineering that he completely treated nobles, civil servants, and eunuchs as his slaves.
Zhu Houzhao also lost his mind because of a great victory and became more and more ridiculous from then on. Even after Wang Yangming captured King Ning, Zhu Houzhao wanted to let King Ning go and lead his army to capture him again and bring all the soldiers with him to death.
Chen Lei is burnt inside and tender outside.
…
Wang Yuan took a chariot and a horse and returned from Chengtian Gate by the original route, accompanied by a eunuch.
When passing by the offices of various ministries, Wang Yuan stopped by the Hanlin Academy. He was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites in the Western Regions, and now he was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War by the emperor. He should go to the Hanlin Academy to say goodbye to his former colleagues.
The current head of the Hanlin Academy, named Jiang Mian, is Wang Yuan's old boss. This guy is also in charge of Zhan Shifu and the Imperial Palace. By the way, he has the false title of Minister of Rites, all after Liu Chun became official.
Give up the position.
"Wang Shilang!" Jiang Mian was quite polite and took the initiative to say hello.
Wang Yuan smiled and cupped his hands: "Scholar Jiang!"
Jiang Mian came up through it all and has a relatively calm personality. He ranked first in the provincial examination at the age of fifteen, and passed the Jinshi examination at the age of thirty. He survived until he was nearly sixty years old, and finally took charge of the Hanlin Academy and the imperial office, doing things.
It's a pity to wear the same pants as Yang Tinghe.
Seeing the worried look on Jiang Mian's face, Wang Yuan asked casually: "What is troubling Academician Jiang?"
Jiang Mian sighed: "Since the beginning of spring, not a drop of rain has fallen. This year's spring plowing in the north will probably... alas!"
"Oh my God, it's really time to rain." Wang Yuan looked up at the sky.
During the Zhengde period, natural disasters continued.
Take the Gyeonggi region as an example. For three consecutive years, there has been little snow in the winter and little rain in the spring. Prayers for snow and rain have to be made almost every year. This year is even worse. There is no spring rain in several northern provinces, and a large-scale spring drought is about to happen.
Why is Jiang Mian so worried?
Because he still holds the title of Minister of Rites!
Regardless of droughts, floods, earthquakes, or astrological abnormalities, whenever there is a major natural disaster, the first person to be held accountable is the Minister of Rites, and the second person to be held accountable is the emperor. Disasters represent God’s warning. Why did God give the warning? Sure.
What a rude thing!
If there is another month of drought, Jiang Mian, the temporary Minister of Rites, will have to resign. If there is another two months of drought, Mao Ji, the real Minister of Rites, will have to resign. If there is another three months of drought, the emperor should reflect on his mistakes.
Already.
Wang Yuan chatted with Jiang Mian for a few words, and other colleagues also came to congratulate him.
Wang Yuan's examiner, Wen Renhe, was away and went home to Ding You. The mourning time was earlier than that of Yang Tinghe. Yu Ben and others were still working hard and continued to study hard in the Hanlin Academy. If they wanted to be promoted, they would probably have to wait until they passed the nine-year exam - Wang Yuan
They can't help for the time being unless they leave the Hanlin Academy. Because promotion is too slow if they stay in the Hanlin Academy. Upgrading one level here is equivalent to several levels in other departments.
Gu Yingxiang, who often went to Wang Yuan's home to study physics and mathematics together, no longer served as a royal guard, but was transferred to Guangdong as a Taoist priest (local censor). Historically, this gentleman also cooperated with Wang Yangming in suppressing bandits and personally
Lead troops to fight pirates. If Wang Yuan goes to Guangdong to open sea according to the original plan, it will be easy to have Gu Yingxiang's cooperation.
Unfortunately, Wang Yuan had to go to Zhejiang, where he didn't even have any acquaintances.
All the way back home on horseback, Jin Lei, Chang Lun and others came over to congratulate each other, and made an appointment to have dinner together at a restaurant another day. Yan Song also came out and said a few words, this guy has already been promoted to the rank of doctor in the Shandong Qing Li Division, and he will be worthy if he continues to endure it.
Promoted to the right minister of household affairs.
There is also Wang Yuan’s father-in-law Huang Ke.
Historically, when Yang Tinghe returned home and Ding You returned home, Huang Ke was thrown to Nanjing for retirement. Moreover, as the left minister of the Ministry of War, he was sent to Nanjing to be the censor of the right capital. Who made him Yang Tinghe's confidant?
Now that Wang Erlang had great reputation, the emperor did not take action against Huang Ke and still stayed in the Ministry of War as the left minister.
Weng's two sons-in-law, the left minister of the Ministry of War and the right minister of the Ministry of War, were really envied by all civil and military officials. Huang E's two younger brothers were far from adulthood, and many officials had already sent matchmakers to propose marriages.
Speaking of Huang'e, Wang Yuan was a little afraid to go home...
