Chapter 109: Weaving Fog (3)

Guo Zhiqi said this, Zhang Xiaoqi certainly understood what it meant. Even if this impeachment seems quite absurd, and even if it is really sent to the imperial court, with the current situation of the imperial court, it probably won't be like anything to Chen Kai, and it can't be done to Chen Kai, but with this impeachment, it can always make people jealous. Whether it is Chen Kai, or the Zheng Group, or other Ming troops.

Zhang Xiaoqi understood in his heart, and the content of this bullet soon spread, and at the same time, Guo Zhiqi set off overnight to Enping County to find Wang Xing - as soon as Lian Chengbi died, Wang Xing needed him to hurry up and get in touch with each other to ensure that this arm would not be lost.

The news spread from the yamen of the governor of the four prefectures of Gao Lian Lei Qiong from Zhang Xiaoqi, and spread like the wind to the ground in Guangdong.

The discord between the civil official clique in western Guangdong and Chen Kai is a well-known thing in the officialdom of the two Guangzhou, but the discord between the two sides is not harmonious, even if it is a matter of not giving the other party a face, but there has never been an impeachment of the other party to the imperial court, and the reason for impeachment is so strange.

Zhang Yue and Guo Deng, who were stationed in Gaozhou Mansion, bore the brunt of the attack, embarrassed, confused, and uneasy, but in short, none of them had a positive feeling as a result.

These two people, one stationed in Shicheng County and the other stationed in Shendianwei, one west and one east, separated by the central region of the entire Gaozhou Prefecture, but they invariably strengthened the defense level, and sent detailed work to the Gaozhou Prefecture and neighboring prefectures and counties in case of contingencies.

They are indeed in contact with Li Jianjie, Hao Shangjiu and Ma Bao, although they have not yet reached the point of direct participation like Li Guangen, but these guys are all Li Chengdong's old subordinates, and they are naturally more willing to huddle together with the cunning and wealthy Chen Kai to keep warm than scattering them everywhere. Especially that Zhang Yue, who escaped from Guangzhou City with Li Jianjie and Li Yuantai, had seen Chen Kai's methods with his own eyes, and the Qing army had watched it tightly earlier, and did not dare to act rashly, and now since he could not integrate into the circle of the Ming army in western Guangdong, it was better to make plans as soon as possible.

When everyone in Gaozhou Mansion heard the news, they had their own ghosts, and the news quickly spread to the hinterland of Guangdong, and soon reached Chen Kai's ears. In this regard, Chen Kai didn't care too much about it, what to do and what to continue to do, even through Li Jianjie and Ma Bao's contact with Zhang Yue and Guo Deng, did not stop there, and he looked completely fearless.

"Impeach me? In the eyes of the imperial court, I am a member of the Zheng group, and when I say that I annex friendly forces, isn't it just to remind the princes of the current dynasty to be wary of the rapid expansion of the Zheng group? It's not me who should scratch my head when I hear the news, it should be the Zheng Group. ”

Picking up the pen, Chen Kai wrote down the rumors of the impeachment and sent someone directly to the General's Mansion in Fuzhou. At this time, Zheng Chenggong was inspecting the situation of the newly built camp in the big camp outside the city, and wives and children like Dong Yougu and Zheng Jing were at home, but they were not qualified to open Chen Kai's private letter to Zheng Chenggong.

Zheng Jing was still doing his homework, and Feng Chengshi, who had assigned his homework, was still preparing tomorrow's lesson plan in his study. Recently, as he has become more and more stable in the position of Zheng Jing's teacher, the popularity of people who originally fell to the bottom has also steadily improved, especially after Zheng Chenggong set up the six officials, some people within the Zheng Group have more expectations for Zheng Jing's heir, so that Feng Chengshi naturally showed signs of rising.

Outside, Feng Xifan came to the study, but immediately stopped, soothed his breathing, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and passed the hurried energy, he knocked on the door of the study with gentle steps.

"Father, I heard that those people sent by Chen Kai to Nanjiang are all subject to an organization called the Heaven and Earth Society."

With the recovery of the Southern Jiangxi region, the existence of the Heaven and Earth Society was inevitably exposed to the eyes of those who had a heart. At this stage, there are not too many people who know about these existences, and Feng Xifan has heard some from other sources, but the specific content is very small, just a few words.

Like a monkey offering a treasure, Feng Xifan told Feng Chengshi that he had found out about this secret, but Feng Chengshi didn't care about it, only said that he already knew it, and continued to be busy with tomorrow's teaching.

"Father, you said, this heaven and earth meeting, what is Chen Kai's mind?"

Thinking, this topic was in his ears, but Feng Chengshi couldn't help but raise his head: "It's probably another eunuch." ”

"Eunuchs?" With Feng Xifan's age, the eunuch party still comes more from his father's words. When he heard this word this time, his memory began to flow back, and then he was even more shocked: "He is going to the future cabinet minister?" However, he doesn't even have a reputation, how can he enter the cabinet? ”

As soon as he said this, Feng Xifan immediately realized his mistake. Today is different from the past, and there are examples of non-Shu Jishi entering the cabinet in Chengping, and now in the court, Shu Jishi has become a rarity. The rules are set by people, if it is the Ming Dynasty, with Chen Kai's merits, he can completely ignore the fame of the imperial examination. Even if there is a lot of discussion, in order to win over such a capable minister, the Son of Heaven will definitely give Chen Kai a reputation that is enough to enter the cabinet, which is not a reasonable reason.

Feng Xi Fan Rusi, Feng Chengshi glanced up, of course, he also understood his son's sudden realization, so he did not continue to explain this. However, in his opinion, there is probably another layer of deep meaning in this heaven and earth meeting, but Feng Xifan may not be able to see it.

"Chen Kai is building his own eunuch party, not only so that the court can seize the position in the future, but also to expand his own power here."

This is all at the same time. According to Feng Chengshi's view, Chen Kai's improvement in the power of the administrative mouth has benefited both the court and the Zheng Group. The first and auxiliary ministers of the cabinet of the court, this is the highest ideal of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and within the Zheng group, Chen Kai is still the second person, and he may not have the heart to compete with Zheng Jing after a hundred years of Zheng Chenggong.

If nothing else, Chen Kai will try to appoint more members of the Heaven and Earth Society to local official positions, and at the same time attract more officials to join the club. Today, when the national surname has set up six officials to centralize power, this is his best way. ”

There is a saying that only opponents really understand each other. Since he was appointed to manage the Ordnance Bureau, Feng Chengshi has inevitably had an estrangement with Chen Kai. Now, this estrangement has long become a hostile attitude, so when Chen Kai's every action is presented in front of him, he will continue to interpret it. In this way, watching Chen Kai take Nangan and become the one who can't get rid of it, watching Zheng Chenggong strengthen the centralization of power, and seeing Chen Kai's Tiandi Club layout with his own eyes, Feng Chengshi is also thinking about how to compete with Chen Kai in the future, and he is never tired of it.

"Xifan, do you know what the eunuchs' biggest weakness is?"

"Father's meaning is ......"

"Yes, the strength of the eunuch party stems from Emperor Yi's favor to Wei Zhongxian, and when Emperor Yi dies, when Emperor Lie ascends the throne, Wei Zhongxian dies, and the eunuch party also collapses. In the same way, as long as Chen Kai has no backer, he and his Heaven and Earth Association will not have anything to worry about. ”

This point obviously still exists in Feng Xifan's eyes. Not to mention, Zheng Chenggong's establishment of the six officials has already weakened Chen Kai's strength, there is no doubt about it. So in other words, Chen Kai's backer Zheng Chenggong may not continue to support him in the court in the future, so no matter how strong Chen Kai's Heaven and Earth Club is, it will also be difficult to escape the end of the eunuch party.

The establishment of the six official system has a profound impact on the Zheng Group. Chen Kai is the first to bear the brunt, and everyone else will be affected more or less. This system was quickly spread to the ears of the original Fujian officials and marshals under the careful investigation of the Qing court.

In the eighth year of Yongli, the Ming army's counteroffensive against Fujian made the Qing court almost completely expelled from the land of Fujian. However, on the one hand, the war has not yet ended, and the Qing army in Fujian still controls some passes to threaten the prefectures and counties controlled by the Ming army, on the other hand, with the wave after wave of messengers from Liu Qingtai and Tong Guoqi to and from Quzhou and Beijing, the tone of the powerful people in the DPRK and China for Fujian's civil and military shouting and killing is getting lower and lower.

Along with the reduction of the door is the increase in bribery, and the rebates of the Zhaofu silver and the people's fat and ointment exploited in the name of the Zhaofu silver continue to enrich the treasury of the relatives and nobles in the process.

The first to solve the problem was the Fujian Governor Yang Minggao, the right general Shi Fu and other generals who transferred to Jiangxi, the reason is very realistic, because the Qing court needs to use them to defend those passes between Jiangxi and Fujian to prevent the Fujian Ming army from attacking Jiangxi. Next, Liu Qingtai failed to hold Jianning Mansion, and lost Xianxia Pass, so naturally he was dismissed and returned to Beijing to wait for disposal, but it was the Tong national weapon, after all, the Tong family has a deep heritage, and the governor has nothing to do, but he served in front of the army, and there are still meritorious contributions. When these two groups of bigwigs have temporarily decided on the disposal, the remaining political envoy Zhou Lianggong, as well as the following prefects and counties, have basically been relieved. Most of them were dismissed and returned to their hometowns, and the rest also followed Tong Guoqi and Zhou Liang to serve before the industrial army.

This kind of disposal is not what Shunzhi is happy to see, but in the politics of the early Qing Dynasty, the authority of the Council of Parliamentary Princes is still there, and the opinions of the relatives and nobles are like this, and it is not good for him to deal with those relatives and nobles who buy and sell justice and are not bullied for a few slaves, which is not in line with the tacit understanding between the monarchs and ministers and within the Eight Banners.

This is already the end of the ninth year of Yongli, but it didn't wait for a few months, Nangan was also lost, and those relatives and nobles shouted and killed the civil and military personnel of Nangan again, but this time it was a wave of higher than a wave, as if it was not enough to kill all the civil and military forces in Nangan.

"And Suke Saha, that dog minion, with so many Manchurian Eight Banners, was defeated by Chen Kai, did he grow up eating? What are you doing with this kind of waste? ”

Remembering the previous battle of Changde, Suke Saha won unanimous praise from the nobles of the Eight Banners with his excellent performance. However, officialdom has always been so realistic, the winner is a hero, and the loser is naturally a bear, unless the background is deep and the means of deception are enough to reverse black and white, it is never uncommon to fall off the altar overnight.

Sukh Saha is still presiding over military affairs in Ji'an Fucheng, but according to the current view, his career is already over, unless he can make meritorious contributions, but according to the current situation, I am afraid that it may not be easy to achieve.

"The slave thinks that the Minister of the Interior, Zhang Jia * Dasu, is a fierce general who has followed the first emperor, and it is of great use!"

Dasu, who was inlaid with a yellow flag in Manchuria, was a guard for Huang Taiji with Aobai, and the two had a good relationship. Over the years, Ao Bai has risen rapidly with his loyalty to Dolgon's bright knife and has become the closest important minister of Shunzhi. In the official career, Dasu is obviously much more bumpy than him, but Ao Bai has not forgotten this old colleague, this time he has lost so many Manchurian Eight Banners, Suke Saha is bound to be transferred back to punish the crime, but the candidate to replace Suke Saha, because Hong Chengchou suggested the establishment of Nanchang Garrison Eight Banners, and now the Eight Banners are fighting for me.

The relatives and nobles successively proposed several candidates, and in the end, Ao Bai directly proposed Dasu, which was obviously not enough to see compared to others, especially before someone proposed to let Yierde, who was already about to arrive in Zhejiang, be transferred to Nanchang. However, since there is a stalemate in this matter, Shunzhi's decision-making power will become greater.

"Ilde continue to go south, God knows if Haikou will continue to attack Zhejiang, it is not appropriate to move lightly at this time. As for General Annan, who was stationed in Nanchang to defend the Eight Banners, let Dasu go. ”

The current problem was solved quickly, and the rest was left to the pro-noble ministers and officials in the court. After retiring from the court, Shunzhi rushed back to the harem directly, and the Dong E, who had only been included in the palace not long ago, had already been waiting in the imperial study.

This Dong E's family, because his father E Shuo has been an official in Jiangnan all the year round, has been influenced and influenced by the Han culture in Jiangnan since childhood. Gifted and intelligent, good at reading history books, fine calligraphy, there is a unique charm gentle and empathetic demure temperament beauty, and the understanding is extremely high, which can be said to be a rare morning star among the Manchurian women in the early Qing Dynasty, just at a glance Shunzhi was introduced as a bosom friend and pampered.

At this moment, the beauty was on the side, and Shunzhi talked to her freely, and even redevoted himself to the work of reviewing the folds. At this time, Dong E's family was serving, but he didn't look at those twists and turns. In this way, it was not until Shunzhi turned over a copy of the recital sent by the former Fujian governor Tong Guoqi, and found it interesting, so he called Dong E's to read it together.

"The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the rule of the ancestors."

Dong Eshi knelt on the ground, and Shunzhi had nothing to do, so he had to let her return to the interesting twists and turns by himself.

“…… As seen by the minions, the name of the Haikou is called Liuguan, which is actually the Six Divisions, and its usurpation of the self-reliance of the dynasty is clearly revealed. And the establishment of the six officials, the power of the traitor Chen Kai will inevitably be greatly reduced. At that time, Chen Reverse will break with Haikou, just as Li Reverse is to Sun Rebellion......"

"I hope so."
