Chapter 049: Yin Goes to Guo Lai (II)
The cloud and mountain fog cover on the left, the cloud and mountain fog cover on the right, but the people who are still embarrassed on the single-plank bridge are afraid that there is a cliff to the left and a cliff to the right, but Chen Hong is not the only one.
At least Yin Shidan and Chen Hong are suffering from the same illness now.
But in fact, he was just in a different mood from Chen Hong, feeling that he couldn't help himself, but he was powerless to change it. The actual situation is quite different: before Chen Hong recommended Yin Shidan to enter the cabinet, he was the person who had been "named" in the column of Gao Gong's inner court allies, although because he coveted Yin Shidan's "dedication", Shengsheng stiffened his relationship with Gao Gong, but because his situation was different from Feng Bao, it would not threaten the overall situation in the future, so as soon as he showed his willingness to change his past wrongs, whether Gao Gong or Gao Shipra, he didn't mind giving him a chance to reform himself.
This is the manifestation of the fact that politicians should try to avoid personal emotions. Although Chen Hong's performance is not eye-catching to the second highest, at this moment, they are not counted.
When a person's use value is temporarily greater than its harmfulness, he is still safe – at least, at the level of a "politician". Therefore, Chen Hong suddenly found that the situation was not good, and hurriedly began to move closer to the "Gao Party" in a hurry.
Whether it is Meng Chong, Chen Hong, or even a hundred more eunuchs, Gao Gong and Gao Pragmatic will not care too much. All they care about is Feng Bao alone, because he is the only one who is the prince's companion; Because only he can have the opportunity to become the second Wang Zhen and Liu Jin after the crown prince ascends the throne in the future.
In the final analysis, what Gao Gong and Gao Pragmatic want to target is not necessarily Feng Bao, a specific person, but the identity of "Prince Companion". Feng Bao's personal characteristics only made them more convinced that this threat was not just imaginary.
And Yin Shidan's situation is actually different from Feng Bao.
Yin Shidan sometimes thinks back to himself, and he feels that his relationship with Gao Gong has never been harmonious, and it is really due to the will of God.
At the beginning, Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Yin Shidan, and Zhang Juzheng were all lecturers in Yudi. Judging from the qualifications and the length of time Yudi servants, Yin Shidan and Gao Gong and Chen Yiqin cannot be compared, while Zhang Juzheng is comparable.
It stands to reason that as the same lecturer of Yudi, Yin Shidan was earlier and longer than Zhang Juzheng, but because Zhang Juzheng was the proud protégé of the first assistant Xu Jie, he was constantly promoted by the teacher. Therefore, at the beginning of Longqing, Zhang Juzheng was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy to the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of the East Pavilion University, and entered the cabinet at the same time as the senior Chen Yiqin, while Yin Shidan was only promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
In the next four years, that is, a few months ago, Yin Shidan entered the cabinet with the help of Chen Hong, who re-ascended to the position of the chief of ceremonies and the secretary of the Hanlin Academy.
In fact, this matter is not only a power and money transaction in the usual sense, but also a little insider: when Yin Shidan was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Hong climbed back to the post of the master of ceremonies and the pen, and then begged to give an official to his parents (eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty can even call themselves ministers, so it is not uncommon for officials to be gifted to their parents), this matter was agreed by Yin Shidan at that time, and asked for a special decree to be sealed, so later Chen Hong recommended Yin Shidan to also enter the cabinet with a special purpose.
This is a political transaction between officials and eunuchs, although Yin Shiyun returned the money in the middle - after all, the living pavilion elders are worth more than the dead people's gifts.
Some people in the outside world think that Yin Shidan and Gao Gong are not on good terms, because he complains that he does not recommend the first assistant to enter the cabinet, but in fact, this can only blame Xu Jie, Li Chunfang - Xu Jie is Yin Shidan's mentor, Li Chunfang is his senior brother, neither of them work hard, why do they ask Gao Gong to contribute? You must know that Gao Gong himself doesn't like Xu Jie and Li Chunfang's style of people who just talk and don't practice. What's more, judging from the time of being the first assistant, Xu Jie and Li Chunfang have controlled the first assistant for several years, and most of them have the opportunity to recommend Yin Shijun to enter the cabinet, and Gao Gong has only been the first assistant for a long time?
In fact, Yin Shidan's trouble lies here - he is a disciple of Xu Jie, the same year as Li Chunfang and Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong trusts Zhang Ju precisely because Zhang Juzheng has the biggest difference with Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, that is, Zhang Juzheng is a person who can do things, and Yin Shidan is not, he is essentially a mouth cannon party, and there are indeed some literary names, and the actual political achievements are basically impossible to find.
So Yin Shidan was tragic: he had neither the support of the Xu Party nor the trust of Gao Gong.
Even, he can't be a neutral like Chen Yiqin, because in the eyes of the Xu Party, even if I don't support you strongly, but after all, you are a member of my Xu Party, if you don't stand on the side of the teacher, aren't you going to break the rules? In the eyes of the Gao Party, since you Yin Shiyi are determined to follow the old path of Xu Jie, and you have no ability to govern the country, then you should not come to the cabinet to cause chaos.
Originally, if it was just like this, after Yin Shiyun lowered his face and entered the cabinet through the middle decree, Gao Gong didn't bother to care, anyway, you just don't do bad things. However, Gao Gong underestimated Zhang Juzheng's methods.
As soon as Yin Shidan entered the cabinet, it happened that Zhang Siwei was sick and took leave, so Zhang Juzheng came to the door and talked with Yin Shidan for half the night.
Zhang Juzheng told Yin Shidan that he had suggested to Li Chunfang earlier and recommended him to join the cabinet, but Li Chunfang was afraid of the high arch and did not dare to agree.
Yin Shidan didn't understand why Zhang Juzheng wanted to use "fear" to describe Li Chunfang's state of mind at that time, so he asked him.
Zhang Juzheng asked Yin Shidan with a surprised face, saying that Gao Gong wanted Zhang Siwei to enter the cabinet, and things were so obvious, didn't Brother Nian notice?
Yin Shidan "suddenly realized" - after Gao Gong reunited and took charge of the ministry, he first promoted Zhang Siwei to the right waiter of the ministry, and this time after I answered the tribute, he was further promoted to the left waiter in order, which is obviously paving the way for Zhang Siwei to enter the cabinet!
No wonder Gao Gong didn't think about me at all, so that's what happened! I'll just say, the cabinet is seriously short of members at the moment, even if it is about seniority, it is time for me to come in, is the beard blind? said that you care about "Xu Dang", but you can bear Zhang Juzheng, why can't you bear me? Could it be that for you, my threat can be greater than that of Zhang Juzheng?
Seeing that Yin Shidan "figured it out", Zhang Juzheng immediately struck while the iron was hot, saying that Zhang Siwei's leave this time would never be as simple as recuperating as announced to the outside world, and there was a conspiracy nine times out of ten, Brother Nian must be careful.
Yin Shidan thanked him at that time, but he actually had some doubts in his heart. However, the next "coincidence" made him really believe Zhang Juzheng's words.
The imperial history Zhao Yinglong impeached Yin Shidan, and the eunuch Chen Hongchun entered the cabinet.
Coincidentally, Zhao Yinglong is the gold list of Jiajing for 44 years, and Gao Gong is his teacher. And what is even more coincidental is that his room master is Zhang Siwei.
Yin Shidan was furious in his heart, but because of the rules, he still begged to retreat twice in a row. But he has just entered the cabinet, and the emperor ordered him to enter the cabinet, how could the emperor let him enter the cabinet so quickly? So he decreed that he would keep it.
But Zhao Yinglong's sparseness, in the eyes of the outside world, is of course the Gao Party's offensive against Yin Shidan, many people are either disgusted with Yin Shidan's entry into the cabinet through the inner court, or after weighing the pros and cons, they feel that it is better to follow the Gao Party to eat meat, in short, more people will soon begin to impeach Yin Shidan.
For example, Yushi Hou Juliang and others have been sparse, and they are too lazy to say anything else, so they will talk about him "not right at the beginning, and not brave to retreat" - it means that you entered the cabinet without going through the court push, which is illegal and shameless, and now your resignation is just pretending, it is obviously a nostalgia for the position of power, which is simply embarrassing!
Of course, Yin Shidan can only continue to ask for retreat, but he also has a plan in his heart - the inner court has Chen Hong to speak to him, the emperor can't slap himself in the face so quickly, at least in the short term, he will definitely not approve his begging, after all, the big thing of my payment to pay tribute has just been completed, and the emperor's prestige has risen sharply, which is not as good as when he just succeeded to the throne.
However, something unexpected came: the emperor regretfully approved it after receiving several resignations from Yin Shiyun again.
Approved......
Yin Shidan was dumbfounded, how could this be possible? Why is this happening?
He didn't even have time to see another decree of the emperor: after being recommended by the first assistant Gao Gong, he considered reinstating the former auxiliary minister Guo Pu into the cabinet, and ordered the ministers to push it.
And what he didn't expect was that the source of this matter, that is, Zhao Yinglong's slightness, was actually not from Gao Gong's instructions at all!
