Chapter 268: Master and Apprentice Discuss Old Things
Chen Musa cooked a pot of tea with his own hands, and then poured two cups, one for himself and one for himself. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He knows that he loves tea, and he loves tea, and he is very good at tasting it, so he thinks of him every time he drinks good tea.
"What did Lian Daning say to you? I didn't embarrass you. Chen Musa asked with a smile.
"Master Lian is helpless, and it's not good to come directly to the teacher." Besides, there is no personal attitude in the words.
"You just want me to pull him, right?" Chen Musa groaned.
"Teacher Mingjian."
Moreover, he bowed down and relayed Lian Daning's words word for word, which was to show respect for Lian Daning, and he didn't dare to relay his words in his own identity, so he had to bow down and listen.
"Alas, this time someone in the court deliberately corrected him. As I just told you this morning, Wang Yangming doesn't follow the rules, so many people have opinions about him and look for opportunities to rectify him. Lian Daning is the same, he is usually too strong, relying on himself to be Xu Xiang's protégé, and if he is too aggressive, he will naturally make enemies. ”
"Master Lian is Xu Xiang's protégé?" And I was surprised.
"Of course, do you think that the Suzhou prefect is easy to get by? There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and if you are not a protégé of the prime minister, you don't want to dream of this position. ”
"But I heard that the official who took over has already entered the city, could it be that he is also the prime minister's protégé?" Besides, he asked.
"He is not a disciple of the current prime minister, but he is a disciple of the future prime minister, which is even more terrifying." Chen Musa took a sip of tea and said slowly.
"Future Prime Minister?" Besides, I don't know what to do.
"The prefect who took over was the proud protégé of Yuwang's teacher Gao Gong, and asked Wei Guogong to pick up the seal letter, which is the meaning of Gao Gong. Gao Gong is even more domineering, and if Lian Daning compares with him, he is simply polite and elegant. ”
"What does that mean, teacher? While promoting others, and at the same time sending important ministers to pick up seals, is it a promotion or a demotion to punish crimes? ”
"Both, depending on what you think." Chen Musa said coldly.
"How so? Both reward and punishment. "Besides, it's the first time I've heard of such a thing, and I feel that the officialdom is too mysterious, and the whole person is still fancy.
Gao Gong didn't mean to repair Guan Lian Daning, he just wanted to take advantage of the gap between Lian Daning and Suzhou, and quickly arrange his protégé in place. As a result, he heard that the officials were going to transfer Lian Daning to Henan, and he didn't feel right, and this matter might go wrong. With Lian Daning's temperament, relying on the identity of Xu Xiang's protégé, it is possible to resist and disobey the decree and rely on the prefect of Suzhou. ”
"Do officials still dare to resist the decree? It's worth it. "Besides, I really don't understand.
"I didn't dare to resist openly, so I secretly resisted, while looking for a reason to stay in the official position, I hurried to the upper level to find a relationship, maybe in a few days the holy decree changed, and I was allowed to stay in office." Chen Musa said with a smile.
"Is it going to be like this?!" Besides, it's horrified.
"Why not, the deputy envoy of Nanjing will not just rely on his official position and not leave, and he will rely on it. Gao Gong was afraid that Lian Daning would also come to this hand, so he transferred the decree of King Yu himself, and asked Wei Guogong to take away the seal letter first, and let his protégé forcibly take over, resulting in a fait accompli, and the court could only do this, even Xu Xiang had no choice. ”
"Have you taken over now?" Besides, it's in a hurry.
"Not yet, Wei Guogong is not a person who only obeys Gao Gong's orders, let him pick up the seal and obey him, but he refused to give the successor official, saying that he would wait for the imperial court's order."
"So what should I do now? Will there be a turnaround? Besides, he asked.
"Lian Daning is out of line, it is estimated that Xu Xiang is not good at coming forward, he has to avoid suspicion in this matter, for fear of angering King Yu, so he asked you to come to me. What do you say should be done in this situation? Chen Musa asked rhetorically, obviously testing his wisdom.
Besides, he said in fear: "The disciple doesn't know anything about officialdom, how do you know what to do?" ”
Chen Musa smiled: "Okay, I'll give you an analysis." This matter is actually Gao Gong reckless, King Yu would never have intervened in such a matter as the promotion of officials, and King Yu also had to avoid suspicion, the prince is not good, his hand is too long, and there will be endless troubles. ”
Besides, I have read "History of the Ming Dynasty" and know how emotional Gao Gong is, much more arrogant than Zhang Juzheng, and just being strong is not enough to describe him. So as soon as Shenzong ascended the throne, Gao Gong was killed by Zhang Juzheng, but unfortunately Zhang Juzheng did not learn a lesson, and also stepped on the same path, Bingzheng died of illness ten years later, and his family was copied by Shenzong, which was worse than Gao Gong.
Chen Musa continued: "Gao Gong may not have meant it, but he was used to doing things domineeringly, so he went to the Ministry of Officials to ask his protégé to take over as the prefect of Suzhou, and then he was afraid that Lian Daning would not leave office, so he may have privately adjusted the decree of King Yu and asked the Zhongshan Mansion to pick up the letter first." Didn't you discuss with me about the program, this is a serious program error. These high arches know, but he doesn't care, relying on the momentum of King Yu, no one dares to mess with him. It doesn't matter if you do this, those people in the court will inevitably be wrong, thinking that King Yu is dissatisfied with Xu Xiang, so he will issue a decree to remove the seal of his protégé. This means that there will be an inverted motion. ”
"Inverted? Wouldn't that be a big deal? "Besides, I couldn't help but be shocked.
"Yes, it's like the voice of the government and the opposition back then, and finally got rid of Yan Song's father and son. Now that the spearhead is aimed at Xu Xiang again, the best way is to start with his proud protégé first, just like when Xu Xiang made Yan Xiang start with his son Yan Shifan. It is not terrible to take over the officials to enter the city, and the old prince is not stupid, he will not hand over the seal letter to him for a while, and the worst thing is that the Metropolitan Procuratorate sent a Du Yushi to investigate and secretly visit the city, and it seems that he wants to find an opportunity to file a case against Lian Daning. ”
"How so? Isn't Xu Xiang under one person and above ten thousand? ”
Besides, with the understanding, Xu Jie should be expected by everyone, and there is no political enemy, how can there be so many people who defeat him like they did when they defeated Yan Song.
"Yan is even more than 10,000 people under one person, but he still fell down, his son was beheaded in Xishi, and he starved to death in front of the ancestral grave, and no one dared to give him a mouthful of food to eat." Chen Musa said, with a sad look on his face.
"It's not so easy to get rid of Shousuke, in this way, there is no need to rush about the affairs of the Lian Adult, the problem now is still Xu Xiang, as long as Xu Xiang is fine, the Lian Adult will be fine, if Xu Xiang is really unlucky, the Lian Adult will naturally be unlucky, and no one can save it." Moreover, he analyzed.
"Otherwise, these are actually two different things, the key is that those people think that King Yu is dissatisfied with Xu Xiang, but King Yu has no such intention, once the misunderstanding is clear, Xu Xiang can still keep himself. Besides, a first assistant has already been eliminated, and if the ministers defeat another first assistant, the government will naturally be in chaos, and the emperor will not be happy. In my judgment, the emperor will not let them fall out of Xu Xiang. ”
"Then the emperor said a word, and everything will be fine." Besides, he laughed.
"Where is it so simple, the affairs of the country are neither the emperor alone has the final say, nor is Xu Xiang able to cover the sky with one hand. This matter is estimated to be chaotic for a while, the problem is that Lian Daning can't wait here, and he may be sacrificed. ”
"What can I do? Regardless of the head. "And he was worried.
"Yes, it's really hard to do, but you can't do it." Chen Musa sighed.
"Teacher, I know you have always been unconcerned about this kind of thing, if it is too difficult, it is better to leave it alone." Besides, I was discouraged, and I privately wanted to try my luck in the British mansion according to what the little prince said. After all, he saved Xiaojun, and the British duchess still owes him favors.
"I said I couldn't do it, and Lian Daning calculated this correctly. He has been friends with me for many years, and he knows my context and knows what I value the most, which is the sect. You are the heir to the mantle I have chosen, and although I have not said it explicitly, it is actually obvious. If I don't pull him this time, he will be helpless against me, and I won't care about these bad things in the first place, but this grudge will end up on you in the future. ”
"I ......" and was stunned. He is a messenger, Chen Musa can't do this matter, no one can interfere, if Chen Musa doesn't contribute, will Lian Daning end up the grudge on himself?
"Yes, if you are just an ordinary person in the future, it will be nothing, but when you sit in my seat one day, you will have a handle in the hands of others, accusing you of being a cold watch when the teacher is in trouble. This is a taboo thing, and at that time it is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false, and it is not clear to wash it away. He decided that I would never let my heirs carry this stain, so I would definitely help him. ”
Besides, he was surprised: "No, Master Lian is not such a scheming person." ”
"Won't? There are so many people who can speak, why do you always let you speak, not only because you are a common student of the two of us, but because you are my successor, I can't let you bear the charge of betrayal, at least not with this suspicion. Otherwise, just convey a few words, Zhou Wenbin can pass it on, Wen Zhengchen can pass it on, and even Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu can pass it on, why do you have to pass on it, that's a hint. ”
Besides, he was completely stunned, and Fang Cun was even more chaotic, what is this, Lian Daning and Chen Musa fought scheming, but accidentally became a tool for the two of them to fight, and he was more like a hostage held by Lian Daning, used to blackmail Chen Musa.
Of course, he also knew that it was an exaggeration to say this, Lian Daning actually treated him very well, and if he wasn't in a desperate situation, he wouldn't have used this trick. The last time he was asked to pass the word, it was because of the competition for Wang Yangming and Chen Baisha to accompany the Holy Temple, and that incident was actually beneficial to both parties, not to mention being used.
"Don't think about it, I didn't need you to know this, but in the future, if you want to sit in my seat, it will be necessary to know this. When people reach a desperate situation, they will use any move. ”
"Is there anything else the disciple doesn't know?" Besides, he asked.
"Just ask whatever you want."
Chen Musa's words have already made it clear that he only did not say anything about the past to cultivate him as a successor to the mantle, but today is a turning point, not only did it but also said it. Everything is analyzed and told to him, which can be described as teaching and explaining by word and deed.
Besides, he naturally realized this, and simply took this opportunity to figure things out, which was not in vain for the teacher's hospitality. In the future, if you really inherit the mantle of the teacher, it is inevitable to deal with people in the officialdom.
