Chapter 1113 (First Update)
Li Dongyang's prejudice against Shen Xi was not formed overnight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In Li Dongyang's eyes, a large part of Shen Xi's rise in the DPRK in recent years is due to the protection and connivance of his old friend Xie Qian to Shen Xi, which makes him lack basic tolerance for Shen Xi, which is contrary to his style of always liking to promote younger generations.
In fact, Shen Xi does not need Xie Qian's support, after all, Shen Xi has relied on his own efforts to establish his position in the DPRK and China over the years, and has experienced a lot of things and made many contributions, but the world has a prejudice against Shen Xi, which is also a limitation of the times, or a kind of thinking qualitative.
Young people must be inexperienced and not worthy of great use, and they will inevitably do wrong things and cause trouble!
When Xiao Jing went to report to Emperor Hongzhi, Xie Qian, who had just arrived at the office of Wenyuan Pavilion, heard about this and hurriedly went to find Li Dongyang to theorize, but Li Dongyang was blocked by Xie Qian before he left the palace gate.
Xie Qian has always been respectful to Li Dongyang, mainly because Li Dongyang ranks higher than him in the cabinet, Li Dongyang is the second assistant, and Xie Qian is ranked third, but the personal relationship between the two has always been good, this time the old friend did not discuss with him, and directly denied Shen Xi's report, thinking that Shen Xi was bluffing, which was intolerable to Xie Qian.
Li Dongyang faced Xie Qian's questioning and said indifferently: "Yu Qiao, you always say how good Shen Xi is and how capable, but in this expedition, what did he do...... Unsatisfactory, you still help him so much? He shouldn't have known that the main force of the Beikou is now appearing in Ningxia Town, and he actually reported that the Beikou Chinese army was in Xuanfu, but Xuanfu and other places have always reported that there is nothing to do, what does this mean? ”
"If he stabs His Majesty with a false report of the military situation, His Majesty will not be like me, but will simply suppress his script, but will directly punish him. Now I'm helping him, not harming him, Yu Qiao, you should understand my good intentions! ”
Xie Qian said angrily: "What kind of good intentions, you see that Shen Xi'er is younger than you and has greater achievements than you, and you can't be angry in your heart, so you will embarrass him many times!" ”
Although they are old friends, there are some words that Xie Qian will not avoid, just like an argument about a "prodigy".
When it comes to "prodigies" in the past, the government and the opposition are all talking about Li Dongyang and Cheng Minzheng, and now when they mention "prodigies", the first thing that comes to mind is Shen Xi, because even Li Dongyang, who is known as a prodigy, has not yet reached the point of being a champion at the age of 12 and a champion at the age of 13, and it is impossible for him to become a feudal official at the age of 16 or 17.
Li Dongyang looked disdainful: "No matter what you say, I am very tired after a busy night, so I won't say anything to you, go back and sleep first." Yu Qiao, I advise you here, if you submit Shen Xi's performance report, it will be harmful to you, weigh it yourself! ”
After speaking, Li Dongyang did not return to the Daming Gate, and Xie Qian stood in place and was angry.
Although Xie Qian was annoyed that Li Dongyang had suppressed Shen Xi's recital and was in a personal relationship, he would stand on Shen Xi's side, but when it came to official business, he was also a little prejudiced against Shen Xi, thinking that Shen Xi was too young, and he would eventually make mistakes after walking for a long time, and it would not always be smooth sailing, so at this time, Xie Qian did not dare to rashly submit the recital that Li Dongyang and Xiao Jing had jointly pressed down to Emperor Hongzhi.
"If I present the transcript, Your Majesty will definitely be like those people, not believing that the main Tatar force will appear in the Xuanfu, and the reinforcements will still not be sent, which will not benefit Shen Xi Xiao'er, but will make the imperial court lose trust in Shen Xi Xiao'er. It's better to be like this, if it is really as Bin Zhi said, it is a false report of the war, and it will not cause much damage to Shen Xi'er. But...... If what Shen Xi'er played is true, then what? ”
Xie Qian wanted to believe Shen Xi on the one hand, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but raise all kinds of questions, on the one hand, he wanted to help Shen Xi, and on the other hand, he wanted to stay out of the matter, and his mood was conflicted and entangled.
Xie Qian himself is an old fox, and he is a sleek and sophisticated representative in the court, and after thinking about it again, he finally decided to ignore it for the time being.
Xie Qian thought to himself: "If what Shen Xi'er played is true, it will be when your Li Bin's reputation is discredited, why should I pay attention to this matter?" When people ask me, I can't wait to pretend I don't know! ”
With this kind of thought, Xie Qian treated it as if the incident had never happened, neither came forward to help Shen Xi, nor did he fall into the well, but he had a heart in his heart, one of which was how to help Shen Xi avoid trouble, and the other was to find ways to help Shen Xi achieve meritorious achievements at the border pass and return "triumphantly".
……
……
Xie Qian sat firmly in Diaoyutai, prepared to do nothing, and waited to see what happened, and many people in the DPRK and China had similar views to Xie Qian.
Among them are Ma Wensheng, Zhang Mao, Zhang Heling and others.
No matter how far the border war develops, as long as the Tatar soldiers and horses do not reach the Juyong Pass, Gyeonggi will be able to maintain stability, and for the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, life will not make much difference, at most, the martial law will continue in Beijing, and there will be no obstacles for the magnates to travel and enjoy.
In the mansion of the Marquis of Jianchang, Zhang Yanling sang songs every night, regardless of the bloody wind and rain at the border, he only cared about enjoying himself in the capital, but moved the location of his previous pleasure from the house outside the city to his home.
Zhang Yanling got a new "beauty", this beauty is knowledgeable and interesting, and welcomes him everywhere, which makes him linger, he originally just wanted to keep the beauty outside as an outer room, but soon changed his mind, officially accepted as a concubine, accepted into the mansion, and drank and had fun with this beauty in a grand manner.
Because of his love for this beauty, he was not so interested in the women hidden at home and outside, almost to the point of being pampered by thousands of people.
"Beauty" was loved by Zhang Yanling, and Jiang Liwei, who contributed to the beauty, was also promoted and reused by Zhang Yanling.
Zhang Yanling personally came forward to find Zhao Jian, the commander of Jinyiwei, to make peace, although Zhao Jian was full of displeasure, after all, the dismissal of Jiang Liwei was a decision made by several high-level Jinyiwei after discussion, but he was afraid of the power of the Zhang brothers, Jiang Liwei was still reinstated as an official, and continued to serve as the Fusi of Jinyi Weibei Town, and his status was higher than before.
Since then, Jiang Liwei broke away from the control of Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia, officially defected to the Zhang brothers, and became a pawn of the foreign party.
During the period of martial law in Beijing, the "Qinming case" was reported in Beijing one after another, saying that there were officials, businessmen and Tatars secretly colluding, this case was led by Zhang Yanling, Jiang Liwei was specifically responsible, and finally traced a series of "chaotic parties", under severe torture, finally found "evidence", and now the case is still under trial, Jiang Liwei has made a lot of profits, but most of them are dedicated to Zhang Yanling, so that Zhang Yanling makes a lot of money.
"Or the kid surnamed Jiang can do things, not only can he find a beauty, but also help me earn money, and then if there is any trouble, I will let him do it, even if something happens, I can push it all away, saying that the kid surnamed Jiang is Liu Daxia's gang, anyway, Liu Daxia has not been alive for a few days in the northwest, and there is no proof of death...... In this way, there are fewer worries! ”
Zhang Yanling is wishful thinking, others are afraid in the face of war, and when he comes to him, war is a good opportunity to make a fortune.
Zhang Yanling passed martial law in Beijing, and the silver he earned was nearly 100,000 taels, and he didn't count the specific figures, as for the jewelry, jade, and antique calligraphy and paintings other than gold and silver, he got a lot, all of which were given to him by the merchant Jia Xiaojing below.
"Master Hou, the kid surnamed Jiang has always been not the same surname as us, otherwise, train a few more children to Jinyiwei, Your Majesty has been relying on Jinyiwei very much recently!"
Zhang Yanling's right-hand man, Zhang Huqi, who has been Zhang Yanling's right-hand man for more than a year, stepped forward to ask for instructions.
Zhang Huqi's original surname was Lu, but after entering the Zhang Mansion to do things, he changed his surname to follow the master's family, which means that in the future, the Zhang family will be the ghost of the Zhang family and the death will be the ghost of the Zhang family.
Zhang Yanling has lost trust in the old man who has served in the Zhang family for many years, because he is afraid that what he does will be known by his brother and sister, so even if he has been an old servant in the Zhang Mansion for decades, he is always on guard, and some new people who have been sold into the Zhang Mansion are gradually entrusted by him to be reused.
Zhang Yanling shook his head when he heard this: "There is no backer behind the surname Jiang, I can only count on Ben Hou, what does he do and don't want to obey me?" ”
"The factory guard is a key yamen, and it is better to install fewer people, mainly to win over. Something happens, so it's easy to get out. His Majesty is also suspicious of the trusted yamen, who knows which one is loyal and which is traitorous? Don't wait for Your Majesty to take the factory guard and find out that we are involved, even if Your Majesty is in-law with our Zhang family, you will turn your face! ”
Zhang Huqi nodded: "Yes, yes, it's still Hou Ye thinking about Zhou Xiang." ”
Zhang Yanling said: "I heard that Liu Daxia's soldiers and horses have marched into Yansui and began to regain the border fortress one after another, Your Majesty learned that the main Tatar force is far away in Ningxia Town, and he will definitely mention the lifting of martial law by the Beijing division again." But now is the critical time for us to make money, so we must create some rumors outside, just say that there are still variables in the border war, it is best to find a speaker who can speak, and go to your majesty to blow the wind! ”
Zhang Huqi looked embarrassed: "Master Hou, the problem is that it is difficult for the rest of the officials to see Your Majesty except for a few ministers and cabinet ministers. This wind ...... It's not good to blow! ”
Zhang Yanling sneered: "It's hard to blow the wind inside the court, isn't there someone in the palace?" Maybe you can find someone to talk to the queen, no matter how you say it, it's also our Zhang family, or, find someone to talk to the prince...... Don't underestimate the power of the prince, the prince is not very old, but the prince, cough twice casually, Your Majesty will be nervous! Is there any news from Shen Xi? ”
Zhang Huqi thought for a while, shook his head and said, "There is no specific news, but I heard that Shen Xi's report has entered Beijing in the past two days." ”
"That kid from Shen Xi is just an embroidered pillow, which looks good, but there is indeed a bag of grass in it...... I used to think he was quite capable, but it turned out to be so poor...... By the way, the matter of the northwest can just make a fuss about him, didn't he say that the Tartars might attack from Xuanfu Town? Then find someone to let off steam, saying that the main force of the Tartars is attacking Xuanfu, and take the opportunity to advance to Juyong Pass, haha, as soon as this news spreads, how can Your Majesty let Jingshi lift martial law? ”
Zhang Huqi didn't find the beauty of Zhang Yanling's strategy, and hesitated: "Master Hou, this is a non-existent matter, I'm afraid that it will not be easy to deal with afterwards......"
Zhang Yanling scolded angrily: "No matter what he is, as long as Jingshi continues to impose martial law, a lot of gold and silver will be sent to the door." Even afterwards, isn't there Shen Xi's kid top tank? Listen to me, just do it! ”
The more Zhang Yanling thought about it, the more he was amazed at his idea, not only to achieve the goal of continuing martial law in Jingshi, but also to take the opportunity to pit Shen Xi, and when the emperor finally found out that he had been fooled, he would definitely punish that kid fiercely, and would not implicate himself, which could really be described as killing two birds with one stone.
