Yang Tinghe colluded with Zhang Yong before and brought the bad currency case to the emperor. The goal was actually very simple.
Yang Tinghe was eyeing the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Even if he could not unseat Li Hao, he could still get Jieshenku by doing the next best thing. Or he could trigger a change in position and arrange for a confidant to be the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, which would also disgust Jiang Bin.
Zhang Yong's pursuit is not that good either. He just wants to install a close eunuch, send him to be a supervisor in the Jieshen Treasury, or get involved in the Baoyuan Bureau of the Ministry of Industry.
Neither of them thought that they could directly bring down Jiang Bin, because this matter was simply "not worth mentioning."
But the emperor actually sent Jin Yiwei to investigate, and Jin Yiwei forced Jiang Bin to be involved.
Zhu Houzhao's reaction in the Nanyuan study instantly made Zhang Yong realize that the emperor was actually a little annoyed with Jiang Bin - in the final analysis, the little Mongolian prince was dead, there was no big battle to fight in the north, and the Baofang border army was becoming increasingly corrupt.
Jiang Bin has lost his foundation for inviting favors.
So Zhang Yong made a quick decision and immediately ran to apply eye drops. He collected a lot of black material, but he never told it to the emperor because it would be useless if he told it before.
The same black material, but in a different reporting atmosphere, Zhu Houzhao's reaction was completely different.
As for Wang Yuan, he also didn't really want to get Jiang Bin. He had two goals. One was to keep Li Hao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the other was to get rid of Liu Yong, the left minister. Asking Li Ying to involve Jiang Bin was just a test.
actions to test the emperor's reaction, and at the same time test Zhang Yong's methods.
It actually knocked Jiang Bin down, and all the participants were very surprised!
As soon as Jiang Bin fell, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Jieshenku, Baoquan Bureau... these things were nothing, Zhang Yong and Yang Tinghe immediately focused on bigger targets.
At the beginning, Zhu Houzhao also temporarily softened his heart and wanted to spare Liu Jin and Xu Tai's lives.
So Liu Jin's dragon robes and armor were found in his home, and he was chopped into pieces 3,357 times. Xu Tai was spared his whole body because Jiang Bin was still in power, but he died a violent death after he was beaten back to the capital.
How could Jiang Bin survive this time?
Dongchang bannermen swarmed out and found thirty pairs of armors in Jiang Bin's home. They also found evidence of Jiang Bin's friendship with eunuchs and ministers, such as the eunuch Gu Dayong, the eunuch of the imperial horse, Lu Wan, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and Wang Qiong, the minister of the Ministry of war.
All of them were designated by Dongchang as Jiang Bin's rebel accomplices.
If Zhu Houzhao had not ordered the generals not to be implicated and clearly wanted to retain the new army, I am afraid that all the generals in the Leopard Fang would have suffered.
Zhang Yong's next target was the eunuch Gu Dayong.
The targets of Yang Tinghe's attack were Lu Wan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Wang Qiong, the Minister of War.
The mess in the Ministry of Industry was selectively ignored by them.
cabinet.
Yang Yiqing was furious, pointed at Yang Tinghe and said: "Mr. Yang Ge, Lu Wan deserves to die, what crime does Wang Shangshu (Wang Qiong) have? You said that he colluded with the traitor Jiang Bin, which is nonsense. What evidence can be found in Dongchang?
Not coming out?"
Yang Tingping calmly said: "Wang Dehua (Wang Qiong) is indeed connected with Jiang Bin. He has sent money to Jiang Bin more than once. Wang Xian, the right minister of the Ministry of War, also arranged for Wang Dehua (Wang Qiong) to be sent to suppress the banditry in the capital, and was supervised by Jiang Bin through Wang Dehua (Wang Qiong).
Manage the errands of the military commander."
Wang Xian, the right minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Qiong's absolute confidant, the number one hero in pacifying the banditry in Gyeonggi Province, his current position is equivalent to the minister of logistics and equipment. And he was able to get these fat posts, all because Wang Qiong deliberately flattered Jiang Bin. Such behavior was criticized by civil servants
The collective despised the fact that the dignified Minister of the Ministry of War actually wanted to curry favor with the left governor of the rear army.
What does it mean?
Ever since Yu Qian seized power, the Fifth Army Governor's Office has had to look at the Ministry of War, and no matter how powerful the military attaches are, they have to rely on civilian officials. Wang Qiong's approach is tantamount to reversing the course of history (for the civilian government group).
Jin Gui smoothed things over and said, "Don't get angry, you two. If you have anything to do, we can discuss it slowly."
Mao Ji said: "Wang Dehua (Wang Qiong) colluded with Jiang Bin. This matter is certain, even a blind person can see it. Even if there is a discussion, we should discuss how to convict him, whether to let him resign or to dismiss him directly!"
Yang Yiqing sneered: "Current events are forcing Wang Shangshu to quickly quell the bandits in the capital if he doesn't use Jiang Bin? Just like this time, if Mr. Yang Ge doesn't use Zhang Yong, how can he bring down the traitor Jiang Bin? Is it still possible?
Say, Yang Ge is always colluding with the eunuchs?"
Yang Tinghe clasped his hands and smiled: "I don't dare to take credit for bringing down Jiang Bin. That was Wang Erlang's method."
"Wang Ruoxu?" All the ministers were shocked.
Yang Tinghe deliberately flattered Wang Yuan: "Li Ying, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, was a close friend of Wang Erlang from the same hometown. He used the Jinyi Guards to investigate the bad currency case, pointed the finger directly at Jiang Bin, and used Zhang Yong to strike a fatal blow. With this method,
He is worthy of a man who wields soldiers like a god."
Yang Yiqing and Jin Gui both sneered because there was something in Yang Tinghe's words, implying that Wang Yuan had controlled Jin Yiwei and was colluding with the eunuch Zhang Yongyou.
But the problem is that not long ago, Wang Yuan helped the Ministry of Works recover his financial rights, thereby drawing a clear line with Zhang Yong, and Yang Tinghe also deceived those officials who did not know the details.
Liang Chu suddenly said: "I don't care about Wang Dehua (Wang Qiong) in advance, let's talk about how to deal with Lu Quanqing (Lu Wan)."
As soon as these words came out, both Yang Yiqing and Jin Gui had strange expressions. Liang Chu, who had always acted as a yes man for Yang Tinghe, actually resisted Yang Tinghe's proposal this time.
Yang Tinghe finally couldn't maintain his self-restraint, and his face became extremely gloomy.
The jump was reversed, Liang Chu actually jumped reversed!
There are currently five cabinet ministers, ranked from high to low in cabinet status, namely Yang Tinghe, Liang Chu, Yang Yiqing, Jin Gui, and Mao Ji.
Yang Tinghe and Mao Ji were in a group, and Yang Yiqing and Jin Gui were allies. Liang Chu suddenly counterattacked, and Yang Tinghe was actually at a numerical disadvantage.
It's all Wang Yuan's fault, the butterfly wings flap too fiercely.
In history, Jin Gui resigned and returned home because of the blame. At this time, he died in depression. How could he have a chance to be active in the cabinet? Yang Yiqing should have resigned long ago, without Yang Tinghe's intervention. He was forced to leave by Liang Chu. (
History books say that Jiang Bin and Qian Ning jointly forced Yang Yiqing away, which is actually pure nonsense. There is no way Jiang Bin and Qian Ning could join forces. Moreover, during Zhengde's southern tour, the emperor and Jiang Bin stayed at Yang Yiqing's house for a few days. They could only be forced to leave.
Liang Chu drove him out of the court.)
Yang Yiqing and Jin Gui looked at each other, both confused, as Liang Chu changed his stance inexplicably.
It's very simple. If Yang Tinghe is allowed to bring down Lu Wan and Wang Qiong, Liang Chu will be the next one to deal with him!
Liang Chu was still very worried. He used Yang Ting and Ding You to return to their hometown and squeezed out so many people from the Yang party. How could someone named Yang just give up?
After a moment of silence, Yang Tinghe finally regained his composure, was forced to ignore Wang Qiong, and said with a smile: "Then let's discuss the matter of Lu Quanqing (Lu Wan)."
Yang Tinghe was the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Yong already had the power to hold the pen. Logically speaking, the chief assistant and the eunuch Bingbi were united, and they could freely control the court, and even the minister could easily get rid of him.
But now in the Zhengde period, the power of the cabinet was not that great, and Zhang Yonggang did not dare to go too far. In addition, three of the five cabinet members opposed Yang Tinghe, which actually forced the Ming Dynasty's chief minister to change his established policy.
plan.
Lu Wan will be unlucky this time because no one will protect him.
This guy used to be Yang Tinghe's confidant. During the Liu Liu and Liu Qi Rebellion, Yang Tinghe recommended him as the commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression. This allowed him to be quickly promoted to minister. Jiang Bin was also under the command of Lu Wan at the time, and the two formed a bond.
Lu Wan saw hope when Jiang Bin came to power, so he decisively betrayed his benefactor during the time of Yang Ting and Ding You, and colluded with the generals to become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
The entire cabinet was Lu Wan's political enemy, and eunuch Zhang Yong also hated Lu Wan to death.
After Jiang Bin fell, Lu Wan was attacked by a group of people. In just two or three days, there were hundreds of impeachment memorials.
Yang Yiqing's hatred for Lu Wan was second only to that of Yang Tinghe. Because he used to be the official minister, and after Lu Wan succeeded him, he squeezed out countless close associates of his in the official department. Yang Yiqing gritted his teeth and said: "Lu Wan was treacherous and stole the position of heavenly official."
, colluded with the generals to plot rebellion, and harmed Minister Qingliu. If he died, it would not be enough to thank the world!"
"What Ying Ning said is absolutely true." Yang Tinghe also held the same view.
