Chapter 566: A Conversation Between Big Guys
After Shen Quan walked in front of Sun Xian and the others, he saluted respectfully and said, "I've seen your uncles!" ”
Sun Xian and others are Shen Jun's juniors, and Shen Quan is also their juniors.
There is quite a taste of you having me and I having you, which made Chen Xiaoting inevitably fall into deep thought.
The factional struggle within the Jinyi Guard, isn't it the struggle of these families?
Although there are disputes between these families, they are actually one, just to fight for the highest position, but they break their bones and tendons with each other.
Today, they will come over to celebrate Shen Jun's birthday, and tomorrow whose daughter will marry the Shen family will also go back to drink the wedding wine.
So...... What are the thousands of households fighting below? What is the point of so many people losing their lives?
Chen Xiaoting has always felt that the journey he has come along the way is a commendable history of struggle.
But now he has some realization...... In the eyes of the big guys, they are no different from others, and they are just cannon fodder for the internal struggles of several major families.
So...... Maybe I should change my life, why do I have to do fish instead of knives?
As a traverser, Chen Xiaoting has never felt that he is better than others, but he also does not feel that he is better than others.
Where people can sit, why can't they sit?
Also, if you want to sit in the highest position...... So at this time, Chen Xiaoting's eyes looked at Sun Xian.
At this time, Shen Quan finished greeting these elders, turned his head and said to Chen Xiaoting: "Xiaoting, don't hurry up and salute your lords!" ”
No matter what you think in your heart, everyone here is a big man, so Chen Xiaoting didn't dare to slack off at all.
"Humble to your lords!" Chen Xiaoting respectfully bowed, and he would not be ambiguous when it was time to bow his head.
Everyone treated Shen Quan with a little courtesy, but they didn't pay attention to Chen Xiaoting, only one person nodded to him, and the others directly ignored him.
After all, they are at least at the level of commanding servants, and they will put a small hundred households in their eyes, let alone a marginal place like Yongxi.
Shen Quan also knew the twists and turns in this, but he still brought Chen Xiaoting over, and I have to say that he had the intention of using these people to beat Chen Xiaoting.
After saying hello at this time, Shen Quan took Chen Xiaoting aside, and at the same time introduced Chen Xiaoting to a few people at the table.
In addition to Chen Xiaoting's impressive command envoy Sun Xian, sitting on his left side were the commander of Nanzhen Fusi, and the other two were two thousand households of Nansi.
After Shen Quan mentioned the point, Chen Xiaoting learned that when Shen Yue was still in Yongxi, Nansi, Xie Tongzhi, was his greatest help.
The three high-ranking officials of the South Division all arrived, but only two thousand households came from the North Division, and the current commander of the North Division and another commander only sent birthday gifts.
As for why you don't come, it's actually an attitude that even if you have me and I have you, you have to put up a factional shelf.
Otherwise, if the interior of the Jinyi Guard is monolithic, the emperor of Ouchi should not be at ease.
Although he left with Shen Quan, Chen Xiaoting did not go too far, but found a place to sit down nearby.
Although these bigwigs don't look down on him, Chen Xiaoting has to take the initiative to understand them, and only by knowing himself and knowing the other side can he win all battles.
Sure enough, several bigwigs really didn't notice, but resumed the interrupted small talk.
"These Hu people have been in the capital for so long, but the negotiations have been intermittent, but they are gathering troops in Liangzhou, I really don't know what they want to do!"
"Do you want to use peace talks to paralyze us so that we can invade the territory of our Shenzhou in one fell swoop, or do you want to force us to make concessions with heavy troops?"
Chen Xiaoting has always understood the situation in Liangzhou, and the people of the Golden Horde have always been eyeing the people, which is a knife hanging in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty.
"Whether it is war or peace, the imperial court always has to prepare early to ......"
"But just yesterday, Shoufu Huang Yucheng refuted the officials of the Ministry of War in the court, and he did not advocate increasing troops from the Beijing camp!"
Speaking of this, I saw one of the commanders say: "To put it bluntly, it's not because the treasury has no silver, if you have silver, you can increase the army as much as you want!"
Whether the treasury of the Ming Dynasty is sufficient, Chen Xiaoting really doesn't know very well, and he has a rough guess from these words.
The state can't even get the money to defend the border, so how can you expect him to be better?
At this time, I heard another commander say: "But fortunately, there is a compromise plan, and we can transfer troops from neighboring provinces to the past, and we can also solve the urgent need!" ”
"After all, we still have the Great Wall, and we still need the mountains as a barrier!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting was also a little speechless, the imperial court had become like this, but they felt normal.
In fact, Chen Xiaoting, like these bigwigs, has a thorough understanding of the court for decades, so he knows that it is normal to have this result.
"I heard that there is already a royal history in tandem, and I want to impeach Huang Yu Cheng Mei Kou and mislead the country!"
The head of the dignified and the head of the civil servants was also impeached, which had to make Chen Xiaoting sigh, which was indeed very clear.
"These imperial histories are like flies, Huang Yucheng has a hard time this time!"
When the country is in crisis, these people are watching the jokes on the sidelines, which is really a great irony, don't they know that their lips are cold and their teeth are cold?
Perhaps in the eyes of these people, this is just a dog-eat-dog within the civil service, which just makes outsiders watch a good show.
"There is no silver in the treasury, but there are still people who privately mint fake money to dig the corners of the imperial court, which is really ......"
At this time, Nansi Commander Tongzhi Xie Xiantong spoke: "Okay, don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't say it!" ”
As the boss of the Southern Division, Xie Xiantong's majesty is not inferior to that of Gao Ruolin, the commander of the Northern Division, and the people at the table shut up as soon as he said this.
The six people at this table, except for the commander Sun Xian and the commander Xie Xiantong, the four people who were trained were all commanders with real power.
At this time, Sun Xian spoke: "The people from Dongchang have been checking for almost a month, do you have any eyebrows?" ”
Xie Xiantong didn't know the answer to this, so he looked at the commander who had just spoken, and the latter replied: "Lord Hui, Dongchang has arrested people several times since he found out, but they all came to naught!" ”
Jinyiwei and Dongchang are also in competition, and when they heard that the other party had been eating ashes, Sun Xian also laughed.
I only heard him ask, "Who is in charge of this?" Is it Liu Jinzhong or Huang Ting? ”
These two are also the best among the eunuchs, and now they are also competing for the position of the governor of Dongchang.
"Back to my lord's words, now this errand is being done by Huang Ting, it is said that the East Factory recently intends to remove Huang Ting and replace Liu Jinzhong!"
Sun Xian didn't say anything, but Xie Xiantong said: "Although Huang Ting is younger, he is more capable than Liu Jinzhong, but I don't know what Gonggong Liu thinks!" ”
"Don't punch him, his mind is not simple, and the celebrant can suppress him!" Sun Xian picked up the teacup and said.
On the side, although Chen Xiaoting was calm and unwavering on the surface, he set off waves in his heart.
It turns out that this capital is really more exciting than I imagined.
Inside the civil officials, inside the East Factory, and inside the Jinyi Guard...... There is also the unfamiliar inside of the military, and the most mysterious inside the royal family, everything is so dazzling!
Of course, today's theme is the Shen family, so this person talked about Shen Yue and Old Man Shen's original affairs.
After listening to these people chatting for a while, Old Man Shen was invited out and drew everyone's attention.
"I wish Shen Lao Shou a better ...... than Nanshan"
"Elder Shen lives a long life......
From these birthday greetings, the whole birthday banquet entered the main topic.
