On the second day, Wang Yuan went out with a telescope. He had just come to the West Garden, and before he arrived at the leopard room, he was taken directly to the East Pavilion by the eunuch halfway.

Zhu Houzhao is in the East Pavilion, Yang Tinghe is in the East Pavilion, Yang Yiqing is also in the East Pavilion, and there are Zhang Yong, the master of ceremonies, and Yang Yan, the leader of the official department.

Yang Tinghe was drinking tea very leisurely, Yang Yiqing and Yang Yu were facing each other, and it seemed that they had already quarreled.

Seeing that Wang Yuan was coming, Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "Don't argue, it just so happens that Wang Erlang is here." He is from Guizhou, so I will ask him for his opinion on this matter. ”

Yang Yu didn't give the emperor face at all, and immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, Bachelor Wang is not a cabinet minister, nor an official of the Ministry of Officials, so there is no room for him to speak in this matter." ”

Yang Yiqing suddenly sneered: "Dare to ask Yang in the matter, why is Bachelor Wang called Bachelor Wang?" ”

Yang Yan knew that he was speechless, so he stopped speaking in an instant.

The bachelor-in-waiting, who was mainly responsible for accompanying the emperor to study, was also the emperor's political adviser and had the right to put forward his own opinions on political affairs.

Wang Yuan looked confused, not knowing what these bigwigs were arguing about.

Yang Yiqing asked, "Can Bachelor Wang recognize Wei Ying, the governor of Guizhou?" ”

Wang Yuan replied, "I've seen it a few times." ”

Yang Yiqing asked again: "What is his reputation?" ”

Wang Yuan replied: "Dare to do anything, just and upright." ”

Yang Yiqing asked again: "Is there a bad record of corruption?" ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "In that broken place in Guizhou, how much money can you be greedy?" If I were the governor of Guizhou, I would definitely make meritorious contributions to the government wholeheartedly, and I would be promoted to another place as soon as possible. Even if you want to be greedy, it is better to be transferred to Yunnan than Guizhou. ”

The words are not rough, and the bigwigs are speechless.

Yang Yu said angrily: "The rule of officials is related to the country's society, how can the government decree be changed because of the words of one person." ”

Wang Yuan still didn't fully understand, and asked, "What happened in Guizhou?" ”

Yang Yiqing sneered: "Patrol the imperial history Xu Wenhua and impeach Guizhou Governor Wei Ying for corruption." I think Wei Ying should be recruited back to Beijing to prove his innocence. In the matter, Ke Yang said that Guizhou was far away and the thieves were not settled, so a new governor should be appointed first, and Wei Ying should be ordered to resign himself. The dignified governor of one side, how could he be impeached by the imperial history, and he didn't even give him a chance to defend himself, so he directly asked the family to resign! Is it child's play? ”

Wang Yuan instantly clarified his thoughts, and this was the contradiction between Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing that became public.

Wei Ying's appointment as the governor of Guizhou this time was recommended by Yang Yiqing, whether Yang Yiqing is a confidant or not, Yang Yiqing must be saved.

Xu Wenhua was Yang Shen's close friend, and Yang Tinghe broke the rules and recommended him as the Imperial Inspector. Last year, Xu Wenhua also fought with Wei Ying, happily getting a military meritorious officer to be promoted to a higher level, but he didn't expect to impeach Wei Ying for corruption this year.

The murderer can also prove his innocence, and the dignified governor did not even give him a chance to defend himself, but actually ordered him to resign automatically because of the impeachment of chasing after the wind and shadows. Moreover, it was still under the condition that Wei Ying fought and won successive battles and continued to make meritorious contributions to the killing of anti-thieves, which simply made local officials feel chilled!

Yang Tinghe is so ruthless!

When Liu Jin was just cut off, these anti-eunuch officials could still be harmonious, and now they are fighting on their own.

It is obvious that Yang Yiqing is disobedient, and Yang Tinghe wants to eliminate dissidents by unscrupulous means. As long as Wei Ying, the governor of Guizhou, resigns, Yang Yiqing will have the stain of unknown people, and Yang Tinghe can also take the opportunity to arrange henchmen to control Guizhou.

In terms of distance, from Yang Tinghe's instructions to Xu Wenhua's impeachment, it took at least four months to go back and forth, and Yang Tinghe was ready to attack his political opponents last winter, which happened to be when Yang Yiqing resigned twice.

Not only that, Yang Tinghe also attacked his subordinates, wanting to slowly elevate Yang Yiqing. Wang Yangming is also excluded, just because Uncle Wang's position is very critical, and if he is not obedient, he is a political enemy.

Moreover, Yang Zhen's charging appearance proves that Yang Tinghe has completely controlled the official department.

There are many things in the official department, but Yang Yu belongs to the head and is the leader of the official department, which is equivalent to putting shackles on Yang Yiqing's officials.

No wonder Yang Yiqing resigned repeatedly, this job can't be done at all. The officials were controlled by Yang Tinghe, and the officials were dug up again, and now they actually stretched out their hands to the place and forced the governor to be on trumped-up charges.

Yang Yiqing looked at the emperor pitifully, and suddenly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the governor of Wei Ying, is recommended by the minister." Now that there is a crime of corruption, the minister does not know anyone, and he asks Zhishi to return to his hometown for the elderly! ”

"No." Zhu Houzhao said expressionlessly.

Wang Yuan suddenly bypassed this matter and asked the emperor with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister once wrote a letter. Requesting that the three governors of Guizhou be changed to land and returned to the stream, and then the Shuixian clan will be divided into three, I don't know what Your Majesty's opinion is? ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "I didn't see your recital. ”

Yang Tinghe, who had been silent, finally spoke: "Guizhou is not peaceful against thieves, and it is not the time to change the land and return to the stream and weaken the toast. If the An clan is forced to rebel again, and it has 48 departments, what will Master Wang do to quell the rebellion? The thieves in Sichuan have not been pacified, the troops of Sichuan and Huguang are stretched, and it is already difficult to transfer some of them to Guizhou to quell the chaos, how can there be more troops to suppress the An clan? ”

Historically, the thieves in Guizhou will be completely pacified next year, and the joint request of the local officials in Guizhou to change the land and return to the river was also rejected by the cabinet for this reason.

The reason is very legitimate, but it is a pity that the actual situation in Guizhou is ignored. The leaders of the An clan and the Song clan are all old, and there are a lot of internal contradictions, so they use hammers to rebel?

Wang Yuan asked, "Does Elder Yang Ge know the situation of the An clan and the Song clan?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "I know a little bit about it. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and asked, "Is it one or two?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Now that the people are in turmoil, everything is important, there can be no more mistakes, and there can be no excuse for Tusi to rebel." ”

Yang Yiqing, who was still resigning just now, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Bachelor Wang's method is feasible, and now that the An family and the Song family have been convicted and beheaded, it is a good opportunity to weaken their power." To spare his original sin and not die, in exchange for part of the Tusi jurisdiction to change the land and return to the stream, is really a practical strategy! ”

Of course, Wang Yuan couldn't let Yang Yishan fight alone, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if the Song clan and the An clan dare to rebel, the minister is willing to go to Guizhou to exterminate them." There is no need to transfer troops from other provinces, just have the local guard army in Guizhou! Your Majesty, this is the unfinished business of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong, if it can be successful, it is enough to comfort the emperors of the past dynasties! ”

Yang Tinghe arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there is no money and food in the household department, and there are no extra troops in the southwestern provinces, please think twice." ”

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, Wang Yuan's sentence "The unfinished business of Emperor Taizu and Taizong" moved him, and he immediately nodded and said: "Just follow Wang Erlang's policy!" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Wang Yuan immediately flattered and did not give Yang Tinghe a chance to say anything.

Zhu Houzhao sent someone to make the imperial house, called Jin Gui to write the holy decree, and asked the cabinet to discuss specific measures.

Today's business has gone off the rails, and Yang Tinghe can only bother there to discuss the implementation steps of changing the land and returning it to the stream.

After some discussion, Yang Yiqing suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the change of land and return to the stream is very important, and there should be important ministers in charge to fully implement this matter." Wei Ying has been in charge of Guizhou for many years, and he is well-known in the local area, so he can't change generals on the spot! ”

Gotcha, around and around, and back again.

Wang Yuan smiled: "That's true. There are priorities, even if Governor Wei is really corrupt, he should be held accountable after exterminating the anti-thieves and changing the land and returning to the river. ”

Yang Yu retorted: "The rule of officials is the foundation of the world's society, how can it be confused with changing the land and returning to the stream? If the imperial court ignores the governor, won't the imperial history become an ornament? ”

Yang Yiqing said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister did not ignore the impeachment of the governor according to the imperial history, nor did he decide that the governor of Wei was innocent. It was just that he wanted to finalize the land reform and return to the stream first, so that the situation in Guizhou would be settled once and for all, so he asked Governor Wei to continue to stay in office. As for his culpability, the deal can be postponed, and that's all. ”

Zhu Houzhao was having a good time in the leopard room, but he was so quarreled with Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing that he was dragged to the East Pavilion to deal with political affairs. He had long been impatient, and suddenly asked Wang Yuan, "Is there any progress in your Divine Mirror?" ”

Wang Yuan replied: "Back to Your Majesty, one of them has been created." ”

Zhu Houzhao immediately got up and couldn't wait to say: "Then go to see the mirror first, and discuss today's matter another day." ”

Yang Yiqing didn't stop it, it would be good for him to drag it down, if Wei Ying could calm down the anti-thieves, the embezzlement could also be turned into a big thing and a small matter.

Yang Yu knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, the rule of officials is a major matter, and it must not be delayed!" ”

Zhu Houzhao was very irritable: "According to what Yang Shangshu said, let Wei Ying continue to be the governor and have full authority to deal with the matter of changing the land and returning to the stream." He took Wang Yuan's hand again and said, "Let's go, let's go to the leopard room to see the divine mirror." ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Yang Yiqing shouted.

Yang Tinghe looked gloomy, and Yang Yu cried even more, making it like his father and mother had died.

Yang Yiqing straightened his body, tidied up his clothes, bowed to his colleagues, and stepped out of the East Pavilion in a happy mood.

This is the first time that Wang Yuan and Yang Yiqing have cooperated in political affairs, each taking what they need, and the cooperation is perfect, which is worth setting up a wine banquet to celebrate.
