Chapter 119: The Fog Blooms (6)

Lei Yuelong and Fu Gang are actually local figures in Yunnan and Guizhou, unlike the previous first assistants Wu Zhenyu and Wen Anzhi, who left their hometowns to serve in the Yongli Imperial Court. Among them, Lei Yuelong is a native of Yunnan, and he once worked as a scholar in Sun Kewang's Qin Palace, but he himself does not have the same feelings for Sun Kewang as Gong Yi, it is just that the situation is stronger than people. When the Yongli court entered Kunming, he immediately turned around. And that Fugang is a person who is the capital of Guizhou, and he is also a minority, the Buyi ethnic group in later generations, but this does not prevent him from being promoted step by step from being a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the current cabinet scholar.

The plea and the recital were put back on the table, and the two suddenly felt that they had nothing to say, and it was inevitable that the scene would be cold. However, the matter still has to be done, they called a person to copy one of the two copies of the song, and then the original was sent to the Yongli Emperor, and the copy is still here, one is the backup, and the other is that there is a cabinet minister in the cabinet in addition to them who happens to be retired today, that person is now a hot figure in the Jin Palace, and they will never dare to ignore it.

The transcription was quickly completed, and the original was sent directly to Yongli. At this time, just like the two scholars, Yongli was also reviewing the folds at the desk.

Now that the imperial court is stationed in Kunming, it is the advice in Chen Kai's bag last year. Under the efforts of Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Mu Tianbo and others, the imperial court did quickly control Yunnan and limited the actual control area of the Qin domain to Guizhou and the southern part of Huguang. However, Sun Kewang has never been a master who is willing to suffer, since he was stationed in Kunming, the Yongli Imperial Court has been showing favor to the Qin Wangfu in Guiyang, and he is very busy.

After the Yongli court moved to Kunming, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu looked around the situation - Guangxi and Yunnan were in hand, and the Zheng group in Fujian and Guangdong provinces were also against Sun Kewang's usurpation. Ministers and other members of the assembly: Fengsun can look out of Chu, the ministers set the country out of Guangdong, the ministers Wenxiu out of Shu, and the generals are engaged in the feudal territory. Whoever controls the world will return it to his master, and he will risk death to hear it. ”

Four provinces compared to one province, from the bright side, it seems that Sun Kewang really has no room for choice. However, compared with Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, Yongli knew that Sun Kewang could narrow the princes over the years, so he would not easily give up his rights and bow down to the courtiers, so he left this piece in the middle.

Sitting on the dragon chair, he was not confused by An Long's house arrest career, but was more able to recognize the current situation. Speaking of which, the four provinces are indeed stronger than the first province, but Sun Kewang's power in Yunnan and Guizhou is deep-rooted, and Yunnan, which has been operating for many years, is not stable for them, not to mention that Sun Kewang also has hundreds of thousands of troops in Guizhou and southern Hunan. In contrast, Liu Wenxiu was defeated twice, and the military power had already been abolished, and Mu Tianbo was even more insignificant as early as the Shadingzhou Rebellion. Relying on Li Dingguo's 50,000 army alone, and at the same time staring at Wang Shangli, Wang Ziqi, and He Jiuyi's group of people, it is really stretched. The Zheng Group in Fujian and Guangdong is far from quenching its thirst, and the balance of power against me is still extremely different.

For this reason, Yongli had already thought of it as early as on the road, so once he entered Kunming City, he did not take the magnificent Kunming Qin Palace's palace as a palace, but went to live in the Gongyuan with a compromise. Subsequently, not only did he add officials to Sun Kewang's subordinates, Bai Wenxuan, Zhang Hu and others, and released them back to Guizhou to make peace with Sun Kewang, but also sent Sun Kewang's wives and concubines and sons who stayed in Kunming in August, and even continued to send people to Guizhou to talk to Sun Kewang.

Yongli blindly showed goodwill, in fact, he also knew very well that Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu were not completely blindfolded. Don't say anything about it, just say that in the previous note, while accusing Sun Kewang of losing his courtesy, he didn't dare to blame, and even when he proposed the strategy of the three kings to counterattack separately, Yu Sun Kewang also used the honorific word "Feng", which was completely different from the two of them.

After sending Sun Kewang's wife and children away, the court moved from the Gongyuan to the Qin Palace, which was already enough face. During this period, the imperial court's energy was still focused on observing the movements in Guizhou, which was a matter of life and death for them. In contrast, the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong are no longer able to share any energy of the imperial court, even if it is the offensive and defensive war at the beginning of the year, in fact, the impact on Yunnan is negligible.

At the beginning of the year, Liu Wenxiu had already been ordered to control the soldiers and horses in Sichuan, commanding Wei Ningbo Gao Chengen, the general Qi Sansheng of the conquest of the left, the general Di Sanpin, the general of the Pingyu battalion, Yang Wei, the chief soldier of the Huaiyuan battalion, He Tianyun, the chief soldier of the Huaiyuan battalion, and Zheng Shoubao, the chief soldier of Chongqing Tuntian, who would leave Yazhou Prefecture and Jiading Prefecture, and set up the Shuai Mansion in Qianqiuping, Hongya County, and began to re-operate Sichuan. This time, Liu Wenxiu did not make great strides, but concentrated on Tuntian in southern Sichuan.

At the moment, Sun Kewang was becoming more and more unprepared, and Emperor Yongli had begun to hesitate whether to transfer Liu Wenxiu's army back to Yunnan to fight Sun Kewang to the death, and he didn't have the heart to think about the affairs of Fujian and Guangdong.

However, he wasn't ready to think about it, but things were still happening over there. The original was sent from the cabinet to the main hall, and I thought that as long as I read it hastily, I could throw it aside if I wrote a reading word, but I knew that once Chen Kai's request was opened, Yongli would be even if it was a head or two big, where would there be any thoughts to continue to ponder Liu Wenxiu's affairs.

"Consultative Bureau, this is an unauthorized change of the ancestral system!"

In the past few years of the Southern Ming Dynasty, the military generals have been domineering, and the feudal towns have been in charge of themselves, which is the least new thing. Not to mention it from afar, Sun Kewang narrowed the emperor to order the princes, and some time ago it was reported that Zheng Chenggong had set up six officials in Fuzhou, and even Li Dingguo stuffed the guy who he originally sent to be executed into the cabinet again, so the court also had to look at the face of the Jin Palace. All forces, it is impossible to have no selfishness, Sun Kewang does not mention, Zheng Chenggong and Li Dingguo are both clearly on the side of the royalist. But what Yongli never expected was that the feudal town was like this, and Chen Kai was clearly a civil official.

However, thinking of the word civil official, he couldn't help but be stunned for a while. It is true that Chen Kai is a civil official, but this civil official is not from the orthodox imperial examination, and he has been doing what he is today with his amazing talent since he started as a staff member in the feudal town.

is not a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and has no half-penni relationship with the original civil official group. Thinking about it like this, Chen Kai tossed out such a thing, and there was nothing new about it.

"This advisory bureau is clearly a narrow gentry and the people's intention to be self-respecting. Chen Kai did this at this time, because the King of Min set up six officials, or he came to the imperial court, or both......"

Yongli has never been stupid, it's just that he is too cowardly. Sitting on the dragon chair here, the palace is full of Praetorian Guards controlled by Mu Tianbo, not as precarious as An Longshi, and his brain can naturally devote more energy to consider more far-reaching issues. It's just that the more he thinks about it, the more he can't be sure of Chen Kai's thoughts, especially the tip earlier, maybe it was just to prepare for today's move.

In the palace, the Son of Heaven was still scratching his head about this matter. On the cabinet side, the other cabinet minister received the news, and when he arrived at the cabinet, he not only did not discuss with Fu Gang and Lei Yuelong, but also did not enter the palace to meet him, but went straight to the Jin Wangfu with a copy without the slightest hesitation.

Hurriedly rushed to the Jin Palace, this cabinet minister is now a celebrity in Li Dingguo's eyes, and the door directly invited him in and passed it on his behalf. Coincidentally, Gong Ming, who had been promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of War, and Jin Weixin, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, also came to the Jin Palace.

"Old Ma Ge, why are you so flustered?"

This cabinet minister is none other than the Jinyi Guard commander Wen'an Hou Ma Jixiang who once relied on Sun Kewang and reported that the Yongli courtiers had cited Li Dingguo as their arm.

Originally, Li Dingguo greeted him, and the Yongli court followed him into Yunnan, and the Yongli Emperor invited Li Dingguo to execute Ma Jixiang and Pang Tianshou. As a result, Pang Tianshou, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time and lacked social experience and the ability to resist pressure, committed suicide when he got the news. And this Ma Jixiang was supposed to die, but he relied on the sycophants Jin Tongwu, Jin Weixin and Gong Ming, so as to hug Li Dingguo's thick legs. Not only was his life saved, but now he was arranged into the cabinet by Li Dingguo, and together with Jin Weixin and Gong Ming, he constituted the three major pillars of the Jin Palace's palace in the court.

Sycophancy is the beginning of Ma Jixiang's friendship with Jin Weixin and Gong Ming. Then the imperial court stationed in Kunming, Emperor Yongli was ready to appoint Jin Weixin as the secretary of Dali Temple, but Jin Weixin was more interested in the ministry, so Ma Jixiang, who had just been inserted into the cabinet by Li Dingguoan, operated up and down, and appointed him as the right servant of the ministry and the right deputy envoy of the Imperial Palace.

There is mutual support in the court, and the friendship between the three of them is progressing very quickly. At this time, Ma Jixiang looked like this, and the two couldn't help but feel a little anxious. It's just that before Ma Jixiang could speak, the people over there had already been ordered to invite, and the three of them went to meet Li Dingguo together.

Jin Weixin and Gong Ming are here, and the matter is not extremely important, but more to report one or two. It was Ma Jixiang who took out the two copies from his sleeve, first showed them to Li Dingguo, and then circulated them to Jin Weixin and Gong Ming. For a moment, the three faces in the study were all so surprised that they had nothing to say.

Unlike Ma Jixiang, Jin Weixin and Gong Ming have intersected with Chen Kai, and the relationship between the two sides is very harmonious. I vaguely remember that when he was in Guangzhou, Chen Kai also made a conclusion, saying that they would follow Li Dingguo, and their promotion in the future would be extremely fast, even a few points faster than him. At first, they didn't believe it, after all, Chen Kai's outstanding achievements were obvious to all. As a result, the imperial court was stationed in Kunming, and they directly achieved the official position of the squire from a white body, especially Jin Weixin, the left squire of the Ministry of Officials and the right deputy governor of the Imperial Palace, which is roughly the same as Chen Kai's left squire of the military department and the left deputy imperial envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate.

On the day of their appointment, the two celebrated together, and many of them mentioned this matter, and they were all deeply impressed by Chen Kai's foresight. In the following days, Lian Chengbi was martyred, and there was no shortage of their voices in the court at that time who advocated adding Chen Kai's military department to the rank of governor Liangguang, but Guo Zhiqi's impeachment made the court change its direction, and the matter was put on hold for the time being. Who knows, it's only been a long time, Chen Kai has tossed out a new gadget, a consultative bureau, and it is still tied with praise, even if you think about it with your knees, you can realize that Chen Kai is bound to win this time.

"The Consultative Bureau, which has never been seen before. However, retro restructuring is something that has never been uncommon in ancient times. ”

Feeling Li Dingguo's gaze on his face, Jin Weixin was not sure what Li Dingguo was thinking for a while, so he simply said such an ambiguous sentence.

Jin Weixin is like this, and so is Gong Ming, and none of his closest aides seem to have a positive answer. Immediately, Li Dingguo turned his attention to Ma Jixiang, wanting to hear what kind of high opinion this guy who was stuffed into the cabinet by him would have.

There is one, there are two or three. At this moment, the other three people in the study were waiting for Ma Jixiang's answer, but this guy who was just a rough and concise guy had obviously thought about the obstacles clearly, and directly explained to Li Dingguo: "Your Highness, in the opinion of Wei Chen, Chen Fujun's move is beneficial and harmless to His Highness. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

I knew that Li Dingguo would ask like this, Ma Jixiang had already thought of his words, but Rao was like this, but when these words came to his mouth, he still couldn't help swallowing saliva, and he puffed up fiercely in his heart before he said: "Weichen dares to ask His Highness, what will happen to the generals of Kui Dong in the coming day?" ”

When this remark was such a thunderbolt, not only Li Dingguo, but even Jin Weixin and Gong Ming were immediately stunned on the spot. Because they know very well that what Ma Jixiang asked was not the fate of the former thieves in Kuidong at all, but the question of whether Li Dingguo, who was also a rogue, would settle their guilt once the Ming Dynasty was prosperous!

Li Dingguo was still in shock and did not have an accurate answer to this question for a while, but Jin Weixin and Gong Ming knew very well that in the officialdom, it does not matter whether there is any guilt or not, the key is whether it is in the way of others. According to today's situation, assuming that the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong will definitely be crowned with high credit, and even Liu Wenxiu will not be spared. When the time comes, the Son of Heaven will not be pleasing to them, and the nobles of the bureaucracy and other forces will also be jealous of the huge resources that their great power will inevitably possess, and it will be the least new thing to cut down the feudal domain in the name of settling old accounts.

Ma Jixiang's words can be described as full of courage, Li Dingguo sat there, and didn't say half a word for a long time, but the gaze that looked at Ma Jixiang was no longer as good as it used to be, and the most important thing was to trust him more.

Jin Weixin and Gong Ming also figured it out, and quickly echoed Ma Jixiang's opinion. Gradually, Li Dingguo's tendencies continued to favor them, until Ma Jixiang's last sentence came out, Li Dingguo was completely persuaded by them, and he no longer had any doubts.

"Your Highness, Chen Kai is indeed narrowing the public opinion to respect himself, if he can do it, we can also narrow the public opinion to protect ourselves in the future."
