Fang Youdu said yes, and the rest of the people also agreed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Ye Xianggao sighed, and then said: "Dengfu candidate, the cabinet and the military department are all willing to fight, he has been in the military preparation for a long time, and after the Yulin War, he can be regarded as a person who knows the soldiers...... But this is not an important thing, the important thing is that the court plans to order Yuan Jiehuan to be the left squire of the military department after a while, he is worried about the impeachment of the princes and asked to go to work, and the impeachment of the court is different, so the court with him first crown to live, and then take over the post of the military department, this matter, is the great plan of the court, the official must not say more because of prejudice! ”
If the emperor said this, Kedao would definitely not accept it, and even refute the emperor with a twist, and would never give the emperor face. There are too many times when the Ming civil officials have been working against the emperor, but when the head of the Dao is not losing power, he said this thing, as long as he is not crazy, he can only pinch his nose and admit it, unless there is a big enemy in front of him, that is to forgive his fate.
Anyway, Yuan Keli will live at home for at least a few months, and at that time, the limelight of their impeachment of Yuan Keli will also pass, and it will not be a loss of face.
After the matter was said, Ye Xianggao was still waiting to chat with these few people, but when he turned his face and saw the housekeeper waiting outside, he knew that there was no important matter, and the person in charge would not come, so he was serving tea and sending off guests.
"This old gentleman has been very angry lately." After going out, he walked through the Yefu road to the front court, and Song Shixiang said with an unhappy face: "Is there anything unpleasant recently?" ”
"I guess it's still a matter of party strife." Fang Youdu said a little nervously: "It's going to be a dagger." ”
Speaking of this, several Donglin Party members present were in a somewhat strange mood...... No matter what they think, since they have joined the party, they must be in a group, if Yang Lian and them are unlucky, of course these Donglin juniors will not be able to fall well, it is normal to be demoted and released, and it is normal to go home without being dismissed, and it will be miserable to cut their status, if something is remembered by the eunuch party, and an edict is taken to prison, it will be miserable.
"Well, see the walking steps." Song Shixiang was a little depressed, no matter how good he was at party fighting, but this matter had nothing to do with him at the moment, this time the main cadres of the Donglin Party were all on the battlefield, and the leading ones were Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other fierce generals, Han Yi and other ministry bigwigs sat in the center, and even the princes and uncles of the country who wrote the books have, the six Shangguan, the left capital imperial history, and the local governors, all of whom are famous or have long been famous.
failed to become famous, if Donglin failed fiasco, they would definitely be implicated, and they were very depressed when they thought about it.
At this time, everyone saw that the Titang official was coming, and Song Shixiang was inconvenient to speak, but Fang Youdu had no taboos, so he immediately grabbed the Titang official and said: "What's the matter, come to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time?" ”
"Lord Fang," Titang Guan said, "Of course it's the matter over there in Da Pankou!" ”
"I guessed so." Fang Youdu said: "How is the movement of the Beiyu? ”
"Governor Wu said in the Tang newspaper that the Beiyu came to ask us to transfer the annual city reward given to the Tumut Ministry to the Chahar Department. 120,000 a year, not one or two less. ”
"How can it be?" Fang Youdu's most basic sense of national identity is still there, and he was furious at the moment, and said: "Daming gave the Xilu City reward because I answered that year and accepted the canonization of the King of Shunyi. ”
"You can't say that." Song Shixiang said: "Now the imperial court is most worried about the eastern captives, if the northern captives just ask for some silver taels, it is better to give them them, anyway, they have been giving Lin Danhan silver for the past two years." ”
Fang Youdu said: "I estimate that it will also be given, the imperial court should not be willing to make extraneous branches, and Lin Dan Khan led his troops to the outside of Jizhen this time, it can be seen that the determination is very great, which annoys the Han Department, and it is another layer of trouble. ”
In a short moment, everyone reached a consensus, but for them it was just idle talk, after all, they were just officials, and it was not them who were in power.
……
The next day, when Ye Xianggao arrived in the cabinet, he sent someone to Ouchi to ask His Majesty to see him.
Recently, the party struggle between the two parties has seriously affected government affairs, Ye Xianggao feels that the atmosphere in the palace is becoming more and more wrong, he has not seen the emperor in the past month, it is normal in the Wanli period, there have been ministers from the beginning of office to the departure of more than a year without seeing the Wanli Emperor...... But in the Apocalypse is still very abnormal, the Apocalypse often sees ministers and ministers, and the emperor can also insist on daily talks, which is also recorded in the notes of relevant officials at that time, but in recent months, the emperor has not even given a lecture, nor has he summoned the ministers to consult on state affairs, this situation of isolation between China and foreign countries makes Ye Xianggao very uneasy, and it is easy to remind people of the past events in the Wanli period.
This invasion of the northern captives is a rare opportunity, Ye Xianggao hopes that the emperor can be vigilant, and summon the cabinet ministers to discuss military affairs, instead of only listening to the opinions of eunuchs in the inner court, which is not only related to party disputes, but also related to military affairs.
Cabinet ministers can be sent directly into the secret sparse, if nothing else, the emperor will see it in person, after Ye Xianggao called people to send it in, he sat in the cabinet with a heavy heart, and began to draft the daily recitals every day.
After looking at it for a while, Ye Xianggao's face showed a faint anger, he coughed lightly, and a Si Zhilang immediately came in and asked, "What does Elder Ge command?" ”
"Please come over Wang Zhongshu."
Si Zhilang answered, and went out to invite Wang Wenyan, in fact, Si Zhilang is a serious Jinshi background, and his status should be above Wang Wenwen's white body, but this Si Zhilang is simply respectful to Wang Wenyan, and after entering Wang Wenyan's separate office, he said that he was standing with his hands and waiting with bated breath.
"How is the old man's face?" Wang Wenyan was not in a hurry, but first looked at a few notes in front of him for a while, and then asked casually.
Si Zhilang replied: "The elder seems to be unhappy. ”
"Hehe, it's normal." Wang Wenyan owed, stretched his waist, stood up, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll go see Elder Ge." ”
As soon as Ye Xianggao saw Wang Wenyan, he split his head and said: "Didn't you tell you not to attack again for the time being, and defend it, and then talk about it after I have met the emperor and figured out the holy will?" ”
Ye Xianggao had a number of notes in front of him, most of them were written by Donglin Party members or ministers who were close to the Donglin Party, and there had been one or twenty copies before, all of which were bullets that focused on the impeachment of Wei Zhongxian.
Ye Xianggao felt that it was useless to go on like this, and he had not seen the emperor for too long, and he had no bottom in his heart, and he had already called people to pay tribute to Wang Wenyan, and he had recently not encouraged everyone to go up, but as a result, this person was in line with the yin and yang, and did not raise objections, but in the past few days, there have been officials of the Donglin Party or officials close to Donglin in Shangshu to impeach Wei Zhongxian, in the past two months, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party have torn their faces, and the Donglin side is no longer satisfied with attacking ordinary members of the Eunuch Party or Wei Guanghui, Gu Bingqian and others, Instead, he directly aimed the spearhead at Wei Zhongxian himself, and also attacked the Hakka family, many of the twists and turns said that the relationship between Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family was very unbearable, faintly saying that these two people defiled the harem, and even murdered the prince, to this extent, the emperor left Wei Zhongxian alone, Dongchang Fanzi has monitored Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou Huang Zunsu and others' residences, and every day you can see Fanzi wearing white leather boots wandering around outside the mansion of these Donglin Party members, many people are afraid to come to the door, these are all hard bones, No one cares about this at all, outside Yang Lian's mansion is the household with the most people watching, but he doesn't take it seriously, he enters the government normally every day, goes home to read and drink, and the sound comes out, which is also admired by those servants.
The situation has reached this point, Ye Xianggao feels that this game has entered a dead end, and it doesn't make much sense to go any further, he plans to face the emperor, and he also wants to solve this matter, but Wang Wenyan and others can't understand his thoughts at all, and do their own thing, Ye Xianggao looked at Wang Wenyan with a calm face in front of him, and suddenly felt that he couldn't control these people anymore.
"Don't worry, Elder Ge." Wang Wenyan took out a letter from his arms with a smile and said, "This is the book of Duke Yuhe, and someone sent someone to give it to me the day before yesterday, saying that he asked the elder to take a look." ”
"Oh?"
Yu Hegong is Zhao. Nanxing, his qualifications in the Donglin Party are much higher than Ye Xianggao, and in the faction of the Donglin Party, Zhao. Nanxing and Gao Panlong are the two most powerful, Liu Honghua and Wei Dazhong, who are in charge of the department, are all their henchmen, as well as Li Tengfang, Chen Yuting Zuoquan, Zheng Sanjun, Li Banghua, Sun Juxiang, Rao Shen, Xi Zhiqing Er, the subordinates of the four divisions, Zou Weilian, Xia Jiayu, Zhang Guangqian, Cheng Guoxiang and others, it can be said that the cabinet and the six ministries also have local governors, Ye Xianggao has been the first assistant to operate for many years, and he is quite powerful, and the Ministry of Officials, Kedao, Siqing, these places are Zhao, Nanxing and Gao Panlong and others are stronger.
At the beginning of February, shortly after the New Year, the six-year Jingcha began, Zhao, Nanxing and others brandished a big stick and began to "get rid of the treacherous" Jingcha plan, between the ten months, the so-called "four murderers", that is, the leaders and backbones of the three parties such as the Qi Party and the Chu Party were listed among them, and all of them were dismissed or removed from office in the name of Jingcha, less than a month, Jingcha deposed and dismissed more than 300 officials, and the Ming Dynasty has a history of more than 200 years, and the number of officials who retired from Jingcha is the most! When the Donglin Party wielded the Jingcha stick, it was cool, Zhao and Nanxing had controlled the officials for many years, and Kedao was also in control, and the people who were attacked by the Donglin Party first wore a treacherous hat, and then found an excuse to retire, refreshing is refreshing, but it also really forced all the people in the three parties to Wei Zhongxian's side, or since the history of the Ming Dynasty, a rare large number of civil officials to serve as eunuchs finally happened. To put it simply, the party struggle is the root buried in the Wanli years, the main reason is to fight for the prince, because Wanli has a long-term unclear attitude, hesitant to establish Guangzong as the prince, the civil officials are therefore divided, and the support of the prince is the mainstream, but there are also quite a lot of officials who support the Zheng family and King Fu, in order to support the work of the dragon, for a long time, the cracks in the civil officials are very obvious, during the three major cases of the attack, the red pill, and the seizure of the palace, it is to make the battle of the parties in full swing, and when the fourth year of the Apocalypse Jingcha, Zhao, Nanxing and Gao Panlong and others were too ruthless, Without giving the civil officials of the rest of the parties a way to live, more than 300 Beijing officials were deposed, and the attack was too heavy, resulting in a large number of civil officials defecting to the eunuchs, which is simply a miracle that has never been seen in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.
When later generations talk about Wei Zhongxian's power, they always think that they are nine thousand years old and have greater ability than the previous eunuchs, but in fact, this is not the case, the most critical point is that the civil officials themselves are divided, and the party struggle is greater than everything, under the persecution of Donglin, a large number of civil officials defected to the eunuchs, corrupted the national government, and did everything for the sake of the party struggle.
Ye Xianggao was in a heavy mood, and when he opened Zhao and Nanxing's books, he only saw four big words: Eliminate evil.
