Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 395: Small Words and Great Righteousness, Good Wife and Good Companion
Liu Xianglian was right, the trend of the imperial court was indeed undergoing subtle changes, and its attitude towards Nanjing became increasingly ambiguous.
Especially since it seems that the negotiations are on the right track, it seems to be a tacit consensus to avoid the expansion of the war and ensure that Jiangnan is protected from the flames of war. What makes Feng Ziying feel irritated is that the speed of progress of the Nanjing negotiations depends on it.
The pace of the purge of the entire military power in central Beijing.
In other words, only when the imperial court felt that it had gained absolute control over the Jingying and Shangsanqinjun, and had institutionally established that the cabinet and the Ministry of War would decide on the appointment and dismissal of generals and officers in the Jingying and Shangsanqinjun.
system, I am afraid that the final compromise can only be reached with Nanjing.
Of course, negotiations with Nanjing do not entirely depend on the control of military power in Beijing. This is only one aspect. There are many other conditions that need to be agreed upon. However, Feng Ziying feels that both the cabinet and Prince Yitada have already done this.
Be prepared to compromise.
Once an agreement is reached with Prince Yitada, and Prince Yitada wants to succeed to the throne, an amnesty will be necessary, and the target will definitely be the nobles with military honors who participated in the North-South War, but will the imperial cabinet do it?
So they allowed these Jiangnan scholars and military nobles who were almost overthrown to do whatever they wanted without any resistance?
There is definitely a lot to be played here, compromises to make, and sacrifices to be made. It's the same for both sides, and whoever is more vulnerable will have to compromise harder.
Maybe it's time for Dad's side to launch another wave of offensive, which can at least win a good name for the Northwest Army. Even if the Northwest Army may face being dismembered, it can at least get a better place to go.
There is also Chen Jixian. Feng Ziying always feels that this guy must have some conspiracy, and he will definitely take action before the negotiations between the imperial court and Nanjing are concluded, but he can't be sure yet.
In fact, it's not Feng Ziying's fault. The power distribution and game in the Zhou army system are too complicated. In many cases, there is no customization. Controlling military force with civility is a broad framework of guidance. However, in specific operations, due to the prestige of civil servants and military generals,
An army's history and fighting will, the local surrounding situation, sources of later support and many other factors vary, so Chen Jixian's Huaiyang Army is really an anomaly.
The basic headquarters of Chen Jixian's Huaiyang Army was derived from the Fifth Military Camp of the Beijing Camp, and it has basically remained unchanged. The Fifth Military Camp has always been the most powerful among the Beijing Camps. When the Inner Khalkha and Horqin people invaded Yongping Prefecture,
When the Beijing camp went out to fight, Chen Jixian did not send out any of his basic troops, but all the miscellaneous troops of the faction. Therefore, this was also the main reason for the defeat of the Santun camp in the first battle.
From the Fifth Military Camp to Huaiyang Town, Chen Jixian almost emptied the Fifth Military Camp. Huaiyang Town was also established on the basis of the main force of the Fifth Military Camp, especially the Xuzhou Guards. Its combat effectiveness is difficult to estimate now, but Feng Ziying judged
It shouldn't be too bad, after all, this is the basis for Chen Jixian's survival.
Feng Ziying suspected that Chen Jixian might be up to something big, and maybe he had something to do with his father, such as suddenly going south to occupy Nanjing? But what did he want to gain by doing this?
The imperial court promised that he would never reduce the vassal status and let him stay in Yangzhou or Jiangnan? Is this possible? Is it useful?
Or dragging Dad's Northwest Army, plus Niu Jizong's Xuanfu Army and Sun Shaozu's Datong Army will be more convincing? Otherwise, the entire Jiangnan will be completely smashed, looted and looted? To threaten the court?
It's really hard to say now.
How determined and courageous does the imperial court have to withstand such a catastrophic loss?
How much control does Prince Yi Zhong still have over Chen Jixian and even Niu Jizong, Sun Shaozu and Wang Ziteng?
Especially after learning that Prince Yitada wants to compromise with the imperial court in order to succeed to the throne, it is still unknown whether he will betray these military heroes who have worked for him before, and how much they will betray. I am afraid that even Prince Yitada himself cannot tell clearly.
.
Feng Ziying realized that she still had not been able to enter the core level of the imperial court. For example, she knew nothing about the key conditions discussed in the negotiations between the imperial court and Nanjing. Even Zhang Huaichang probably only vaguely knew some, and the details were not necessarily clear.
Master Qi didn't tell him either. It was obvious that the cabinet had an agreement not to leak it to the outside world when conditions were not mature.
think
At this point, Feng Ziying could only sigh secretly. All she could do was to determine the control of Jingying and Shangsanqinjun as soon as possible. In addition, she had to remind her father that a fight was still necessary.
, don’t panic because of the negotiations between North Korea and China. Sometimes, you can earn more for yourself by having a fight.
Shen Yixiu noticed that her husband was worried when he came back. She did not ask directly. Instead, she called her daughter to play and talk with her husband.
Three-year-old Tong Niang is undoubtedly the best pistachio in the family. Every time Feng Ziying sees her daughter at her knees, she is filled with endless joy and puts aside all worries.
Tong Niang is innocent and innocent, and a child is carefree. As long as those black and clear eyes look at Feng Ziying's face, Feng Ziying will no longer have any worries or fears in her heart. Seeing her husband holding her daughter in various ways to please and tease her, Shen Yixiu's heart
I am also happy, but still a little dissatisfied.
The husband's love for his daughter is self-evident, but after all, he has not yet given birth to a male heir. Moreover, among the three bedrooms, the second and third bedrooms all have male children, but the eldest bedroom has not yet.
Second Sister You and Third Sister You should look like they are fertile, but there is no movement, even in her own belly, which makes Shen Yixiu a little busy. Fortunately, the second and third bedrooms are all concubines, and Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu are also silent.
, but perhaps the matter of Xichun should be considered earlier. The only obstacle is that the Jia family's accusation of treason has not been completely lifted. This may not be resolved until the new emperor comes to the throne to teach the world.
Is your husband worried? Seeing her husband's eyes following her daughter as she staggered out, Shen Yixiu sat next to her husband on the spring stool and asked softly.
Well, I have something on my mind. The situation in the court is so confusing that I can’t understand it. Feng Ziying said calmly: I’m afraid Wan Jun is also aware of the negotiations between the imperial court and Nanjing. Although I don’t know the details of the specific conditions, they are nothing more than restricting the imperial power.
Prince Yohitada seemed to have to compromise in order to allow his lineage to succeed the emperor. In order to ensure this, the imperial court wanted to control the military power in Beijing. However, the specific conditions negotiated between the two parties were not clear.
His wife was also an official, and his father-in-law was also a backbone among the Jiangnan scholars, and his wife was also very keen on observing the current situation, so he didn't mind discussing it with his wife.
Well, I have also heard about it, and I guess it may be who has the power to remove the prime minister or dissolve the cabinet, or to set up cabinet ministers? Shen Yixiu is very smart, and he is familiar with these situations in the DPRK, and he also knows it. very clear.
Hmm, who can depose the prime minister? It is theoretically possible for the emperor to directly depose the prime minister, but after the thirty-fifth year of Yuanxi, there was no such thing. At most, it was just a hint. Many times, it was the chief minister who felt that it was contrary to the emperor's ideas. , it is difficult to continue and resign voluntarily, but what if the chief minister is unwilling to accept it? If the cabinet ministers all support the chief minister, what will the emperor do? Is he just going to hold his nose and admit it? Other cabinet ministers object, and the emperor does not Trust? How many people are needed to oppose this cabinet minister? Among the five cabinet ministers, not counting the chief minister himself, does it mean that only two cabinet ministers need to support the emperor to remove him?
Feng Ziying asked a series of questions that even Shen Yixiu found difficult to answer.
The emperor's dismissal from the prime minister is more of a general statement, but when it comes to concrete implementation, there is no rule, let alone a clear system to regulate it. In addition to removing the position of chief minister, what if the emperor is dissatisfied with his cabinet ministers? What to do? Do you have the right to access the positions of cabinet ministers?
According to the usual practice, cabinet ministers are basically determined by the original ministers of the cabinet, including the chief minister, and they are approved by the emperor, and then they are ordered to join the cabinet and become cabinet ministers. Once they become cabinet ministers, it seems that the emperor wants to remove them. Regulations have been established. In the past, there have been cases where the emperor was dissatisfied with a certain cabinet minister, but he always forced him to resign voluntarily through hints. There was no precedent of direct removal. In other words, there is no clear statement on whether he has this power.
Even the admission of the entire cabinet ministers to the cabinet is still implemented by some undivided conventions. The ministers recommend, the emperor approves, and then join the cabinet. If they are not satisfied, then the ministers can choose to resign if they are not satisfied with the hints or criticisms. , but if you get the support of your colleagues, whether you can continue to persist without resigning depends on the outcome of the game between the two parties.
Sir, do you mean that the court will discuss these issues with Prince Yohitada this time? Impossible, right?
Shen Yixiu was a little surprised. It seems that since the founding of this dynasty, no, even since the Song and Ming Dynasties, there has never been a clear standard to stipulate the customization of cabinet ministers, right?
Feng Ziying smiled. This is just a guess on my part, but I think the imperial court should have some ideas in this regard. Otherwise, once Prince Yi Zhong ascends the throne, he will be liquidated and all the cabinet ministers and ministers will be replaced. Bin Yin, Miao Changqi, Gu Tianjun, Jia Jing and others are all brought back as cabinet ministers. What will Master Ye Xiangqi do? Rebellion? Are you going to overthrow the emperor you established yourself? Is it possible? Isn't it a slap in the face? And it is also against morality. Well, I don’t think Ye Xiang and the others couldn’t even think of this.
Therefore, the imperial court must first firmly control the military power in the capital? Shen Yi learned the elegant meaning of Xiuxianxian and started to laugh. It seems that the ministers and others in the cabinet are not unprepared. However, I still feel that if the choice is too great, Ming, will it be a little hard for everyone to accept? What about Prince Yoshitaka going to regret it or break up with him in the future?
