Chapter 155: What is History?
As the night got darker outside, the oil lamp in the study seemed to be a little dark, and a pair of scissors appeared next to the oil lamp, gently cutting off a black core, and the light immediately turned on.
Zhao Wenhua put down the scissors, glanced at the Miao knife out of the corner of his eye, and his neck shrank back unconsciously, before he whispered: "Actually...... None of this has anything to do with the war situation in the southeast, it is just a political dispute between the DPRK and China. β
"If Zhang Jing is defeated, I, Zhao, have already written for impeachment before, so naturally I can't be implicated."
"If it is a big victory...... Zhao Wenhua swallowed his saliva, "A month ago, I wrote to impeach Zhang Jing and Li Tianzhong, and Yan Ge Lao vouched for Zhang Jing in front of His Majesty. β
"Yan Fen should be a guarantor for Zhang Jing?" The previous posture collapsed suddenly, and Qian Yuan was stunned and repeated again. "Yan Fen should be a guarantor for Zhang Jing?"
"Hmm." Zhao Wenhua nodded, "And said...... If Zhang Banzhou defeated the Japanese Kou, he should have returned to the dynasty and been promoted to the secretary of the military department. β
"It is impossible for Zhang Banzhou to completely exterminate the Japanese in a short period of time...... Uh, a big victory over the Japanese Invaders? Qian Yuan discovered the hidden meaning of this sentence, if Zhang Jing defeated the Japanese Kou, he was qualified to return to the dynasty and be promoted to the Great Sima, and then naturally let others drink a few sips of soup.
It's a pity that after Zhang Jing left, before Hu Zongxian took office, several people who tried to drink soup were choked to death.
Quickly thinking in his heart, Qian Yuan suddenly had a stirring spirit, and asked in a hurry: "Promoted to the position of Great Sima, what about Nie Shuangjiang?!" β
If Zhang Jing returns to the dynasty and is promoted to the secretary of the military department, what will Nie Bao do?
"That's the problem, and that's why it's all happening." Zhao Wenhua smiled bitterly, "Zhang Banzhou was promoted to the position of Great Sima with his military merits, and Nie Shuangjiang recommended meritorious ......"
"Now the secretary of the ministry is Li Mo, who is deeply favored by His Majesty; Ouyang De, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is a scholar in the second year of Jiajing, a person from Xinxuemen, this is Xu Huating's person, and the position of other scholars...... Transfers are not considered promotions. β
Zhao Wenhua glanced at Qian Yuan, "Therefore, it is very likely that Nie Shuangjiang will enter the cabinet because of his meritorious recommendation." β
Qian Yuan was stunned for a while, shook the handle of the knife with his right hand, and said with an angry smile: "Mei Cun Gong really thinks that Qian is an ignorant child!" β
"Since Tianshun in this dynasty, he has not entered the Hanlin and the cabinet, although Shuangjiang Gong is both civil and military, and he can also be called a master of science, but he is only a third-class jinshi, and he was appointed as the county governor of Huating in the second year."
This set of rules was implemented after the civil fort, the famous minister Li Xian began to implement, and it has become a common practice after a few decades, in the past, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, Yang Tinghe are all like this, and after entering the Hanlin Academy, he slowly boiled his qualifications, and then once he gained power, he could go straight to the center within a few years.
Zhao Wenhua waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "That's the old yellow calendar." β
"Huh?"
"You have to know that ...... today" Zhao Wenhua hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about those rules." β
"Back then, Yang Ting and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, and his son Yang Sheng'an made a hundred officials crying, and since then, he has been ...... today."
"In the three years of Jiajing, there have been four changes in the cabinet alone, and in the next few years, only Fei Hong was born in Hanlin, and the rest of Yang Yiqing, Gui Cao, and Fang Xianfu are not on the right path, not to mention Zhang Xuan and Xia Yan in the back."
Qian Yuan nodded slowly, he knew that Yang Yiqing had served as the chief of the trilateral system, Zhang Xuan was the middle order to enter the cabinet, and although Xia Yan had served as a bachelor of Hanlin, he was specially rewarded by Jiajing, the secretary of the upper Ministry of Rites.
Jiajing is a notoriously unruly person in the history of the Ming Dynasty, who is less disciplined than his cousin Zhengde, especially in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet.
A punch drove Yang Tinghe away, and brought Yang Yiqing to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, which led to the loss of his reputation in his life.
There is no possibility of external transfer or demotion of the cabinet, either promoted or dismissed, and once the official is dismissed, there is almost no possibility of recovery.
But in the Jiajing Dynasty, Xia Yan and Yan Song were all three up and three down, and there was even Yan Song as the first assistant of the cabinet, and Emperor Jiajing pulled Xia Yan, who had been dismissed, back from his hometown and kicked Yan Song to the second assistant of the cabinet......
There are too many pavilion elders, Zhang Xuan, Yang Yiqing, and even Xie Qian, who has been in Zhishi for several years, have been pulled back.
The most unlucky is Fei Hong, eight years after the second time, the third time he rose to serve as the first assistant of the cabinet, set off in July, entered Beijing in August, and hung up in October, insisting that people die in other places!
Zhao Wenhua was familiar with the rules and regulations, and after carefully explaining, he finally said softly: "So, don't look at the current Yan Ge Lao, Xu Huating, and Lu Yuyao are all from Hanlin, but the possibility of Nie Shuangjiang entering the cabinet is not low. β
"So, Shuangjiang Gong entered the cabinet...... Xu Huating, a student, is now the second assistant to the cabinet. Qian Yuan said in a low voice: "That's why Elder Yan Ge will ......"
"Shuangjiang and Huating are teachers and students, and they are all heart learners." Zhao Wenhua nodded and said: "Once you enter the cabinet, it will naturally be in the same vein, and you must not worry about it." β
Qian Yuan thought in his heart expressionlessly, and slowly put the Miao knife on the table, Zhao Wenhua wiped the cold sweat on his head and sighed softly.
"Mei Mura, I heard...... Although Shuangjiang and Huating are teachers and students, there are also gaps in between? Qian Yuan shook his head, and the doubts in his heart were still not resolved.
"This ......," Zhao Wenhua blinked.
"Don't forget, who is Qian someone's uncle?"
"Qian Zheng ......" Zhao Wenhua nodded, "Shuangjiang and Huating are indeed incompatible, but Huating is now the second assistant of the cabinet, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s, at least the Xinxue sect is gradually showing signs of merging." β
After a long silence, Qian Yuan raised his head and looked directly at Zhao Wenhua, and he shook his head again.
"Just by virtue of this bullshit impeachment letter, and just by relying on the favor of Yan Ge Lao today, the governor of Zhejiang, who is the secretary of the military department of the dynasty and the soldiers and horses of the six provinces, will be easily brought down?"
"Mei Cun Gong, do you think Qian someone is so stupid?"
"Lu Yuyao and Xu Huating are both from the southeast, and Your Majesty will know the truth if you inquire about them."
"What else did you say?"
Qian Yuan's face turned slightly, his outstretched right hand touched the cold Miao knife, and he held the scabbard and twitched it gently.
With a soft sound, the candlelight was reflected on the Xueliang knife, and the reflected light was reflected on Zhao Wenhua's face.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Wenhua did not tremble this time, nor did he retreat in fear, with a trace of pity and sympathy in his eyes.
"Actually, you don't know ......" Zhao Wenhua sighed, "Actually, I admire Shuangjiang Gong very much, in fact, he knows everything by heart......"
Zhao Wenhua stared at Qian Yuan and said slowly, "That's why he expelled you from Songjiang Mansion...... It's just that I don't want you to get involved in this whirlpool. β
Qian Yuan's hand did not move at all, and his eyes were fixed on the other party.
After a short silence, Zhao Wenhua said softly: "Before you said that Lu Ben is from Zhejiang, and Xu Huating is from Songjiang, and he will be consulted today." β
"Lu Ben is a narrow-shouldered man who can't carry anything, he won't say anything."
Zhao Wenhua said in an accentuated tone: "And Xu Huating ......"
Qian Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't wait for the next words, his heart couldn't help but sink, and the hand holding the handle of the knife loosened.
Zhao Wenhua nodded lightly, "It's Xu Huating." β
"This is the reason why Nie Shuangjiang and Zhang Banzhou are never fortunate to be handed over this letter, and it is also the reason why Shuangjiang expelled you."
Qian Yuan felt that his eyelids were constantly beating, and his mouth was so dry that he couldn't open his mouth.
