469 [The organ is too smart, it is better to accompany the emperor to fish]
Liang Chuzhen was dying. He was in his seventies and suffered a sudden stroke. He only had half a life left.
After resting for more than a month, he still couldn't walk normally. Liang Chu was completely disheartened. Although he could barely move his arms, he couldn't write easily. Even his resignation and memorials were written by ghostwriters.
Under such circumstances, Zhu Houzhao could not retain him and simply told Liang Chu to get out.
Therefore, the cabinet minister Jin Gui also took the opportunity to resign due to illness, and was retained by the emperor again, and his son and son-in-law were promoted.
As the son-in-law of Jin Gui and a good friend of Wang Yuan, our Mr. Jin Rei Jin has become the fourth-rank Right Shaoqing of Dali Temple. He is very capable, and he likes to be more truthful. He has corrected many unjust, false and wrong cases. It is a pity that with
The relationship between his boss and his colleagues was not good, so his reputation in Dali Temple was extremely bad.
If Jin Lei had been more diplomatic and had Wang Yuan and Jin Gui to help him, he would have been promoted to the position of Zuo Shaoqing long ago.
Taiye Pool.
Zhu Houzhao became obsessed with fishing recently and often took Wang Yuan to fish with him. This man had an impatient personality and the eunuchs were afraid that he would be in a bad mood, so they secretly scattered rice to make nests every day and bought many big carp and threw them into the pond.
Another big shot, Zhu Houzhao was very happy and asked: "What do Erlang think of Qiao Yu?"
Wang Yuan replied: "I don't know, I don't know this person."
Zhu Houzhao said: "Qiao Yu is talented, but I don't want him to be in charge of the imperial palace."
Wang Yuan said: "Then just choose someone else."
Zhu Houzhao sneered: "But this person was jointly recommended by Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing."
Letting Jiang Mian be a cabinet minister and letting Qiao Yu be in charge of the Hanlin Academy was a political deal between the emperor and Yang Tinghe three years ago. But before the official appointment at that time, Qiao Yu suddenly sent a memorandum, admonishing the emperor not to go on personal expeditions, and to
Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he immediately took back his life.
Zhu Houzhao and Qiao Yu met in Nanjing.
When King Ning rebelled, Qiao Yu was in charge of Nanjing and was able to cope with everything with ease. When Zhu Houzhao visited Nanjing, he summoned Qiao Yu to report to him. The emperor and his ministers had a very happy conversation, and the emperor decided to promote him to a more important position.
As a result, Zhu Houzhao finally understood that Qiao Yu and Shi Jie were the same kind of people because of the remonstrance and edict. When he promoted Shi Jie, he thought he could control the household department through Shi Jie, but Shi Jie sided with Qingliu. Later, he planned to promote Qiao Yu.
Yu, before the appointment documents were sent out, Qiao Yu's remonstrance and remonstrance arrived in Beijing.
Yang Tinghe chose to recommend Qiao Yu not only to win over Yang Yiqing, but also because of what happened. In this way, even if Qiao Yu was in charge of the imperial office, he was not of the same mind as the emperor.
Zhu Houzhao said: "It's better that Erlang also recommends one person."
Wang Yuan thought for a while and replied: "Lin Jun, Lin Jiansu."
Zhu Houzhao had no impression at all and asked: "Where does this person come from?"
Wang Yuan said: "I was appointed as the Imperial Envoy of the Left Deputy Capital. I was appointed in the fourth year of Zhengde. In the sixth year of Zhengde, I resigned due to my contribution to quelling the rebellion. He once suppressed banditry in Jiangxi and also suppressed civil unrest in Sichuan."
Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed: "This person is available!"
This is so interesting. In the fourth year of Zhengde, Liu Jin was in power, and Lin Jun was actually able to be appointed. At the end of the sixth year of Zhengde, Li Dongyang took power, but most of the affairs were handed over to Yang Tinghe, and Lin Jun chose to resign at this time.
If he were a member of the Yang Party, he would never be able to survive the four years of Zhengde. If he were a member of the eunuch Party, he would not be able to survive the six years of Zhengde, and he still resigned after making great achievements in quelling the chaos.
In fact, Lin Jun is also a Qingliu, and he is a practical person among Qingliu.
Lin Jun disliked eunuchs, was dissatisfied with Li Dongyang and Xi Ni, and couldn't stand Yang Tinghe's cliques. He suppressed the gangsters in Jiangxi and didn't even want a reward. He resigned in a frenzy, but was disgusted by Yang Tinghe's behavior of planting confidants and excluding dissidents.
broken.
If this person were in charge of the Hanlin Academy and the imperial office, he would definitely not benefit from Yang Dang. At least, Yang Dang, who served in the Hanlin Academy, would be regarded as a clitor by Lin Jun, and would be deliberately suppressed.
Wang Yuan added: "When King Ning rebelled, Lin Jiansu learned the news and ordered his servants to run three thousand miles under the stars to bring him the Fo Lang machine cannon that he had cast himself to put an end to the rebellion."
"He can also cast cannons?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly became more satisfied.
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "He also supports opening up the sea."
Zhu Houzhao said: "That is this person!"
…
"What, re-recommendation?" Yang Tinghe was very surprised.
The eunuch sent by the Supervisor of Ceremonies said: "Your Majesty is not very satisfied with this recommendation."
After the eunuch left, Yang Yiqing sighed: "Qiao Xida (Qiao Yu) is too arrogant, and his last remonstrance and memorial were already disobedient to His Majesty."
Yang Tinghe was very speechless about this. Jiang Mian should have joined the cabinet three years ago, and the emperor had already agreed. Just because of a memorial from Qiao Yu, everything was messed up. How could this person not know how to advance or retreat?
In history, Qiao Yu was more stubborn. During Zhengde's southern tour, he attacked Jiang Bin hard, and Jiang Bin was so angry that he sent an assassin to assassinate him. He was saved by Wang Wei, the Nanjing garrison eunuch. After Jiajing succeeded to the throne, he was directly recruited as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
, started a quarrel with the emperor again. He was obviously not a member of the Yang party, and did not resist Jiajing's recognition of his biological father, but he suddenly sided with Yang Tinghe and opposed Jiajing's appointment of Zhang Cong, Gui E, Xi Shu and others, thinking that these people were speculators.
only.
This guy is worthy of being Yang Yiqing's student. Although his political philosophy is different, his temper is similar to Yang Yiqing's. He treats things rather than people and adheres to principles, but his principles are often not very good.
Since the emperor is dissatisfied, he can only recommend it again.
Then, Yang Tinghe was very depressed to find that the person who accompanied him was actually Lin Jun, who had conflicts with him.
Lin Jun was one of the candidates, and the news was just announced, instantly cheering people in Qingliu. Even Yang Tinghe's "party members", many voted for Lin Jun. Lin Jun's prestige in Qingliu is not much inferior to that of Yang Tinghe. If only
Compared with reputation, Lin Jun even surpasses Yang Tinghe!
Just because Lin Jun's clean image is perfect. In the Chenghua Dynasty, he just overpowered Liang Fang and was demoted to a judge in Xianzong's anger. At that time, Yang Tinghe was still hanging around in the Hanlin Academy. He was in
During the Hongzhi Dynasty, he took action to teach King Ning a lesson, and was framed and punished by King Ning for this. At that time, Yang Tinghe was still lecturing Zhu Houzhao.
Moreover, Lin Jun has made numerous meritorious service, promoted many young talents, and only focuses on talents regardless of faction. How can he exclude dissidents like Yang Tinghe?
Ke Dao Yan Guan even regarded Lin Jun as his idol. Because every time Lin Jun offended the emperor, eunuchs and powerful officials, he was promoted wherever he was thrown. He made numerous political achievements whether it was quelling chaos or governing the people. This is all said
All officials want to live like this, not fearing power in the central government, and managing the world and benefiting the people in the local areas.
Nowadays, officials below the third rank are not eligible to participate in the court nomination, but when they heard that Lin Jun was a candidate, they petitioned the emperor to recall Lin Jun.
Only then did Zhu Houzhao wake up. Lin Jun was actually the idol of a group of trolls. After being recalled, he would not cause trouble for himself, right?
"That's unreasonable!"
Yang Tinghe really lost his temper this time. After returning home, he kicked over the imperial chair.
Yang Shen asked: "Why is father like this?"
Yang Tinghe said: "Lin Jiansu is coming back."
Yang Shen said: "Lin Jiansu's good reputation is known all over the world; Lin Jiansu's talents are known all over the world. It is a great thing for him to return to the court."
Yang Tinghe said: "Lin Jiansu has a problem with his father!"
Yang Shen advised: "Father, gentlemen are harmonious and not in groups, and small groups are not harmonious. My father and Lin Jiansu are both gentlemen. It's just a little disagreement. Don't keep it in mind."
Yang Tinghe was even more depressed: "I told you you don't understand."
Yang Shen resigned a few years ago, but has now been reinstated and promoted to the Hanlin Academy. His official career has not been smooth. He returned to his hometown, Ding You, and took a vacation due to illness. He resigned for several years in the middle, and now he is still in trouble.
He got an official position that Wang Yuan had when he first became the number one scholar.
Moreover, although Yang Shen is talented, he has no political sense and remains innocent today.
Yang Tinghe sighed and said: "No matter how you plan, you can't stand up to the words of the sycophant. I can't compete with Wang Ruoxu."
Yang Shen actually spoke for Wang Yuan: "Father, Wang Erlang is not a sycophant. He has made countless meritorious deeds on the battlefield and risked his life to do so. Although his opening to the sea attracted criticism, it made the treasury a lot richer. In the past two years, the governor
In order to manage the horse administration and install civil affairs officials in the three counties of southern Liaoning, it is also a good thing to benefit the country and the people. My father is already sixty-five this year, and Wang Erlang is only thirty years old. Is there any irresolvable conflict? If my father and I
If Wang Erlang joins forces, wouldn't they complement each other? When my father becomes an official in the future, and Wang Erlang becomes the chief assistant again, it will be a blessing to the world!"
Yang Tinghe didn't know how to explain it to his son, so he could only sigh: "You should go recite poems and sing lyrics."
Why is Yang Tinghe so depressed?
It is true that he successfully sent Jiang Mian to the cabinet, but the Imperial Academy was controlled by Lin Jun, who had conflicts with him.
Moreover, Wang Qiong was appointed to the cabinet by the emperor, and even the courtiers could not stop him.
Wang Qiong was previously involved in Jiang Bin's case, and logically there was no possibility of him joining the cabinet. But the emperor wanted him to join the cabinet, and he personally came out to characterize Jiang Bin's case, saying that Wang Qiong had nothing to do with Jiang Bin.
After Wang Qiong entered the cabinet, his confidant Wang Xian took over as the Minister of War, and Wang Yuan's ally Wang Zan was transferred to the left minister of the Ministry of War.
Currently, the ranking of cabinet ministers is: Yang Tinghe, Jin Gui, Yang Yiqing, Mao Ji, Jiang Mian, and Wang Qiong.
Among the six cabinet ministers, Yang Tinghe occupied three seats, and Jin Gui was sick and neglected to take charge of the cabinet. Yang Tinghe could be said to have taken control of the cabinet.
But what's the use?
Lin Jun from the imperial office and the Hanlin Academy had conflicts with Yang Tinghe. Liao Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was disobedient. Wang Hong, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was an imperialist. The Minister of the Ministry of War was Wang Qiong's confidant, and Wang Zan, the left minister of the Ministry of War, was Wang Yuan.
Huang Ke, the Minister of Household Affairs, is Wang Yuan’s father-in-law, and Xi Shu, the Minister of Cangchang, is Wang Yuan’s advisor. The Ministry of Works is simply Wang Yuan’s backyard. Although Mao Cheng, the Minister of Rites, is a party member of Yang, he has long been dismissed by Wang Yuan.
Yuan and Wang Zan were sidelined.
Yang Tinghe, the dignified chief minister of the cabinet, now only has complete control over the Ministry of Justice!
Wang Yuan didn't need to fight for anything at all. Just as Yang Tinghe said, no matter how he plans, he can't be worth a word from a sycophantic minister.
If you can only control the cabinet but not the six ministries, it is of no use. It is better to leave Jiang Mian in the imperial office and the Hanlin Academy. At least he can support the junior scholars. Yang Tinghe tried his best to let Jiang Mian enter the cabinet.
As a result, the authority of the Hanlin Academy was also lost.
What's even more disgusting is that Yang Tinghe can't use the Kedao Yanguan to evade the six departments like Zhang Juzheng did.
First of all, he does not have the support of the emperor, and the department officials will not be so obedient. Secondly, among the big bosses in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, only one Peng Ze is from the Yang Party, and the others don’t need to look at Yang Tinghe’s face. In addition, the young people in the Sixth Department,
They all regard Lin Jun, who is about to return to Beijing, as their idol, and will probably turn around and attack Yang Tinghe.
Yang Tinghe suddenly discovered that by bringing Jiang Mian into the cabinet, his authority was instantly reduced.
Wang Yuan did nothing but accompany the emperor to fish and chat.
