Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 715 The decisive battle is imminent, the winner will be decided
Feng Ziying has never had much confidence in Jia Yucun. Although he also recommended Jia Yucun as the governor of Shuntian, he also knew that with Jia Yucun's own official skills and business ability, even if he did not recommend him, he would sooner or later
We must also take this step.
Shuntian Fuyin is not enough to satisfy his ambition and appetite. As long as there is an opportunity, this person will definitely look for various possibilities to take a step forward.
This time may be an attempt by Jia Yucun.
However, from the perspective of a bystander, we have to say that there are some opportunities this time.
When Feng Ziying arrived at Ningyuan Zhongzuo Station (Tashan Fort), she received news from Wang Wenyan that Qi Yongtai fell ill, and his condition may be serious. He was in a coma for a day and is still unable to get up.
This was not beyond Feng Ziying’s expectation.
If Qi Yongtai had not been seriously ill and his control over the government had declined, these people would not have had any dissent, especially Emperor Wan Tong and Li Sancai.
In fact, Qi Yongtai has been sick frequently in the past few months, but when the condition was not serious, it may have attracted the attention and speculation of interested people.
The dispute between Li and Gu increased the instability in the cabinet.
Feng Ziying also knew very well that Huang Ruliang, Guan Yingzhen and others had limited support for Gu Bingqian because of Gu Bingqian's character and character weaknesses, and they were more abiding by the original agreement. Although Li Sancai also wavered in his style, he was still better than Gu Bingqian.
To be stronger, at least he still has the ability to do things and is more public-minded, while Gu Bingqian really admires the strong and lacks principles.
There is a lack of firm support for Gu Bingqian in the cabinet, and Li Sancai has received the full support of Tang Binyin. Li Sancai's qualifications and special status also determine that his prestige is higher than that of Gu Bingqian. This is why he dares to compete with Gu Bingqian.
I am confident that if there is the emperor's support from the righteousness, there is indeed a great chance of a comeback.
It can be said that at this point, Li Sancai stepped on the right rhythm very well and took advantage of Emperor Wan Tong's eagerness. Emperor Wan Tong also saw Li Sancai's plan clearly, and it can be said that they hit it off immediately.
Of course, all this can only be achieved if Qi Yongtai completely loses control of the entire cabinet and even the court. As long as Qi Yongtai can maintain the situation and force Gu Bingqian to take over, coupled with the support of Huang Ruliang and Guan Yingzhen, four to two will increase.
He was the first assistant, and Gu Bingqian himself was also the second assistant, so there should be no problem.
Emperor Wan Tong's fierce and timid character may not be his strong point at this time. If he really dares to refuse to approve the cabinet report and trigger a crisis, then he really doesn't want the throne.
There are many details that may cause variables here, which even Feng Ziying would be hard-pressed to predict.
After all, the cabinet system of the Zhou Dynasty has been separated from the cabinet system of the Ming Dynasty in another time and space. It can be said that it is completely different. The strength accumulated by the cabinet over the years has greatly suppressed the imperial power, but this is in the imperial court.
A consensus has been formed, but this impression has not yet spread among the people. The common people still believe that the emperor is respected and the cabinet only assists the left emperor in governing politics.
"Yao Qing, everyone is changing. Jia Yucun thought Ah Fu had a great future with me before, but that was when he was still the prefect of Jinling, but he entered the capital and stayed in the position of Shuntian Fuyin.
After a few years, I have seen a lot, and I am greedy for greater power, and I will naturally have other thoughts. When this kind of opportunity is presented in front of me, it is difficult for anyone not to be tempted."
Feng Zi’s English is very bland.
"But behind this person's greed for power can only be explained by his short-sightedness. Only when he knows the current affairs can he be a talented person, but if he cannot see the situation clearly and is blinded by superficial phenomena, then it can only be said that he made a wrong step and is doomed.
"Wu Yaoqing shook his head.
"Not necessarily, this person is cunning and cunning, and he may not have any backup plans. Let's see." Feng Ziying chuckled: "The ice and snow have melted along the way, making the road difficult. I'm really afraid of being delayed."
"Your Excellency, there is no need to worry too much. Although Prime Minister Qi fell ill, he was still able to handle official duties on his bed the next day. There are also Dukes Gu, Huang, and other officials. Unless the emperor jumps out directly, does the emperor dare to step forward directly at this time?
Li Sancai doesn’t dare, right? Then it’s really a coup. With an order from the Ministry of War, he can..."
Before Wu Yaoqing could finish his words, Feng Ziying shook his head and vetoed: "Zhisheng doesn't dare to go through this easily. It will really be a showdown. The Jingying and Shangsanqinjun will be in trouble, and then the war may continue.
Qi Xiang and Zhisheng are still too kind. They should have kicked Xiao Ruxun out long ago. Without Xiao Ruxun, Ma Chengxun alone, with his stable character, would not dare to act rashly, but with Xiao Ruxun as deputy envoy and acting envoy of Jiedu
, Ma Chengxun also has a reason. He only said to follow the order, which is also a good excuse. Sometimes, some people know that this is inappropriate, but as long as they have such a reason mentally, they will do something inappropriate.
It’s a sensible move.”
Wu Yaoqing was silent. He had to admit that Feng Ziying's point of view was very reasonable. Didn't Ma Chengxun know the trick here? Of course he did, but the same desire for greater success and stage made him subconsciously turn a blind eye to the risks involved, and he might choose
Sexually agree with the "orders" of Xiao Ruxun, the "boss".
"Let's go and hurry up. The situation in Beijing is in chaos. It depends on the competition between the parties outside the city. Liu Wei has always been reckless and fierce. Other people may not dare to act boldly, but this person really made it possible.
Brother Zhisheng still lacks some courage and enthusiasm in handling such internal response matters, I hope Youshi will be ready."
Feng Ziying's worry was not unreasonable. It involved the struggle among the cabinet ministers. Although Qi Yongtai was the chief minister, Li Sancai was also a senior cabinet minister, and Sun Chengzong did not have such strong views on the relationship between scholars from the north and the south. This was true.
Similar to Feng Ziying, he doesn't have much opinion about Li Sancai. In Sun Chengzong's opinion, Li Sancai may be a more suitable first assistant than Gu Bingqian.
So once involved, it would be really difficult for Sun Chengzong to make a decisive decision. It would really be regarded as an internal strife.
In this situation, Feng Ziying is more willing to believe in herself, so it is safest to sit under the capital city and personally witness the changes.
Feng Ziying galloped her horse and whipped her horse, suddenly speeding up.
Emperor Wan Tong has been in a state of excitement for a while.
He always believed that destiny was mine, otherwise God would not have allowed the fourth child to remain unconscious after he was assassinated, so he gave himself a chance.
If the fourth son was assassinated at that time, the cabinet would definitely confirm that one of the fourth son's sons would succeed him, and he would have no chance; if the fourth son was unharmed after the assassination, or would wake up later, the cabinet would definitely determine one of his sons to be the crown prince.
, I have no chance either.
Only when the fourth child was unconscious and unable to see things, and delayed, did he give himself a chance. Isn't this my fate?
Also, if Qi Yongtai hadn't suddenly fallen ill at such a critical moment, if Li Sancai and the cabinet ministers were not at odds with each other, and if the chosen Gu Bingqian had a difficult moral character, how could he have had such a God-given opportunity?
He is not greedy, he just wants to get back his part of the power.
In the past few years, he has been dormant and forbearing. There have been many times when he felt that counting the days like this was unbearable. It was better to fight to the death and seek relief. However, the strength of the two sides was very different, and they were not even on the same line at all.
There was no chance of taking risks, so he could only endure it.
Now I have finally waited for such an opportunity.
Li Sancai did indeed have some abilities. Using his status as a cabinet minister in charge of military affairs, he quickly attracted military men such as Liu Wei, Xiao Ruxun, and Chai Guozhu. Even Yang Yuan and Zhao Shujiao were inclined to him, and as a
The father of Liu Wei, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, happened to be his former martial arts teacher and the prince's Taibao. It was really a fate that brought them together.
A group of people have made countless calculations and deductions in private. No matter how they calculate, even if they have the upper hand in the Jingying camp and the Shangsanqin army in the capital city, as soon as Liu Wei's Xuanfu army enters the city, everything will be declared
In the end, the Jingying camp and the Shangsanqin army were unable to compete with the border troops anyway, and their combat effectiveness was incomparable.
The only hidden concern is the Jizhen Army. However, the main force of the Jizhen Army is still in Liaodong and has not yet turned around. You Shigong has a stable and cautious personality and will not easily get involved in these matters under normal circumstances. Moreover, Jizhen is not aware of it now.
, by the time they really reacted, Liu Wei would have already led his army into the city, and everything would be solved within a day or two. By the time You Shigong reacted, the matter would have settled long ago.
The news returned from Qi Yongtai's house is that Qi Yongtai's health is very serious this time. It is estimated that it will be difficult to continue to work like a normal minister, and he may not even be able to wait for the court. If his health is still okay, hurry up
You may be able to live a few more years if you stay in office and recuperate, otherwise you may die of illness in the court.
Li Sancai has been very active in the past few days. Guan Yingzhen and Huang Ruliang have been there to talk, and Ye Fang has also negotiated, and some results should have been achieved.
Although the two officials and Huang still did not support Li Sancai's idea of succeeding as the first assistant, even though Li Sancai vowed to use his reputation as a scholar to guarantee that he would only serve for one term, the two still did not relent, but their attitudes seemed a bit different.
eased,
Ye Fang and the other two had an ambiguous attitude, and it was obvious that they were not very satisfied with Gu Bingqian, but they had decided on the deal, and it would be impossible for them to take the initiative to overturn it. At most, they would remain silent.
However, these Wan Tong emperors don't think it is important anymore. He is now waiting for Li Sancai's action. As soon as he submits the cabinet approval and determines who will take over as the chief minister, it will be time to decide the outcome.
Emperor Wan Tong took a deep breath and looked to the northwest. Liu Wei should have arrived at the front line of Huailai Guard, but the main force of his Xuanfu army had not yet arrived, and they would have to wait a few days.
