[0877 Depressed Wei Zhongxian]
But this time the emperor personally spoke, and what made Ding Shaoshi most vigilant was that Wei Zhongxian would personally come to the cabinet to ask what everyone meant.
Ding Shaoshi knew that now the cabinet was a Donglin person, and everyone else was Wei Zhongxian's dog, what did Wei Zhongxian want, just send the little eunuch to pass on the word, there was no need to go this way.
This couldn't help but make Ding Shaoshi vigilant, feeling that Wei Zhongxian had the intention of using himself as a gunman and letting himself obstruct Wei Bao's promotion.
Therefore, after combining so many factors, Ding Shaoshi decided not to speak!
Wei Zhongxian smiled: "It's really strange today, don't you have a different opinion?" Let's talk about it. Tomorrow His Majesty will personally preside over the court meeting, and at that time he will announce that if the cabinet scholars have no side opinions, tomorrow they must follow His Majesty's wishes, and do not raise any objections at the court meeting, as you all know, the most annoying thing for His Majesty is that the court meeting quarrels endlessly. ”
Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Feng Quan and Ding Shaoshi still didn't speak.
Wang Tiqian was a little impatient, thinking that everyone had acquiesced, so that's it.
Wang Tiqian had actually seen that Wei Zhongxian didn't want Wei Bao to gain too much power, at least he didn't want Wu Xiang to be the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.
"Okay, since everyone hasn't said it, Princess, I'm still bothering you to return to Your Majesty." Wei Zhongxian said: "I would have thought that a fifteen-year-old person would be knighted, and His Majesty would preside over the marriage of his concubine, and His Majesty would recognize his concubine as the imperial sister, and Wu Xiang was Wei Bao's father-in-law, you should know, right?" I thought you would have some opinion on these things. ”
This review Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Feng Quan and Ding Shaoshi all heard the taste.
Feelings wei zhongxian really wanted to incite the voice against the expansion of wei bao's power ah he wei zhongxian seems to be not very easy to speak and wants them to speak.
"Nine thousand years old, the matter of knighthood is indeed not trivial, Lord Wei has made such a great achievement, promoted to the first level, and the two levels are reasonable, the knighthood is a bit too much, right? Wu Xiang's appointment as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan also needs more consideration from the people of the military department, and they are not in a hurry to settle down, after all, Shanhaiguan is the first pass in the world, the gateway of the Ming Dynasty, and the position is too important, so it must be cautious. As for His Majesty officiating at the marriage of a minister's concubine, and recognizing the minister's concubine as the imperial sister, this is also a bit too favorable, right? If this case is opened, His Majesty will not be able to die in the future? Wei Bao is still only a fourth-rank official, and there are at least hundreds of first-grade, second-grade, and third-grade officials in Beijing, and whoever marries a concubine in the future will do it in accordance with this charter, so isn't it what does the court and His Majesty regard? Gu Bingqian hurriedly followed Wei Zhongxian's meaning.
"Yes, it's a bit too much, although Lord Wei's contribution to this trip is great, but the reward is one level, his fourth grade is promoted to the third grade, it is already very good, Da Ming has never heard of entering the ranks of the third grade officials at the age of fifteen, it is already very favorable. As for Wu Xiang's appointment as the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, I also agree with Lord Shoufu's meaning, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and the promotion of Wei Bao cannot be confused with the appointment of generals in important military places. Lord Wei's knighthood also needs to be considered in the long run, no matter how great Lord Wei's merits are, after all, he is young, and there will be opportunities in the future. As for Lord Wei's concubine, there is no need to discuss this matter, right? Wei Guang smiled and shook his head, he followed Gu Bingqian's words and said it again, only a little more tactful.
Huang Liji and Feng Quan immediately agreed, which is also the same meaning.
Ding Shaoshi remained silent, and seemed to have made up his mind not to get involved in this matter.
Because Ding Shaoshi couldn't see the impact of this matter on the imperial court and the Donglin Party for the time being, Ding Shaoshi didn't even want Wei Bao, the living king of Yama, to return to Beijing, and it was best to stay at the Liaodong border forever.
Originally, the hand of the Donglin Party rarely rose to Liaodong so far, and most of the people in power in Jiliao and Liaodong were local generals, and they used to quarrel with the Eunuch Party, and most of them opposed it for the sake of opposition.
In fact, the eunuch party did not care much about the defense of Liaodong, otherwise, there would not be so many 'individual' generals in Liaodong.
"According to our family, although Lord Wei is young, it is okay to be promoted to the third grade, after all, such a great merit is not only the glory of Lord Wei, but also the glory of the Ming Dynasty, the glory of His Majesty, that is, in the hands of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, our Ming Dynasty has not achieved such a success. It is also necessary to be knighted, Your Majesty is interested, and it is always inconvenient to defeat Your Majesty's interest. As for Lord Wei marrying a concubine, he has to let His Majesty marry him personally, and he also wants His Majesty to recognize his concubine as the imperial sister, which is a bit pampered and arrogant, but this is mainly the relationship between His Majesty and Lord Wei, and it is inconvenient for us to talk too much, I think this can be discussed by the courtiers. Wei Zhongxian looked like gossip.
This time, Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Feng Quan and Ding Shaoshi completely understood what Wei Zhongxian meant.
Wei Zhongxian supported Wei Bao's promotion to Zhengsanpin and Wei Bao's knighthood, these two items are ironclad.
Wei Zhongxian felt that the matter of Wei Bao's concubine needed to be discussed again, or that her attitude was vague and dispensable.
I guess I want to see if the courtiers' reaction is big, and if no one objects to this matter, it is estimated that it will be over.
Wei Zhongxian did not support Wu Xiang as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan!
In the eyes of Gu Bingqian, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Feng Quan and Ding Shaoshi, the most unnecessary thing to discuss may be this matter, Wu Xiang is a big family in Liaoxi, and he has eaten the military salary of Liaodong and Liaodong for generations. What's your celebrant doing about this?
Wu Xiang became the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, hindering your father-in-law Wei from collecting money?
"Well, I also see it this way, although Master Wei is young, he is very talented! Talent is rare, it was originally a minister supported by His Majesty, and this time he made such a great contribution, promoted to the third grade, knighted, it is logical, I believe that no one will object, who dares to object, let them go to Liaodong to fight Jiannu. Gu Bingqian said with a smile.
Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, Feng Quan and Ding Shaoshi couldn't help but secretly despise it, and said in their hearts that you, the first assistant, are completely Wei Zhongxian's followers, you can say whatever people say, I have never seen someone whose face changes as fast as you!
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said: "Lord Shoufu's words coincide with His Majesty's words, Your Majesty seems to have said the same, isn't it, Princess?" ”
Wang Tiqian said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty also said that if anyone is not satisfied, he will go to the gate to fight Jiannu." ”
Gu Bingqian said with a smile: "The old minister doesn't dare to compare with His Majesty, it happens to be the same as His Majesty's thoughts, it's an honor." As for Lord Wei marrying a concubine and letting His Majesty preside over the marriage, I don't think it's impossible, since His Majesty likes it, favors Lord Wei, and occasionally makes an exception, it's nothing. But it's best to explain that it's only once, and it's all for the sake of Master Wei's great merit, so that it will be difficult for others to follow the same example next time. Recognizing Lord Wei's concubine as the imperial sister is a little too much. Da Ming seems to have received a lot of righteous sons except for the great grandfather, and he hasn't heard of the emperor accepting righteous sisters, right? This article is mainly because there is no ancestral system to follow. As for Wu Xiang's appointment as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, as far as I know, Wu Xiang's time in the army is still short, and he lacks military exploits. ”
Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang adopted more than 20 righteous sons in his life.
Li Wenzhong, Mu Ying, He Wenhui, Xu Sima, Ping'an, and those who know the names include Zhu Wengang, Chai She, Zhu Wenxun, King Kong Nu, Zhenzhang and others.
Zhu Wengang and Zhenzhang accompanied Geng Zaicheng to guard the prefecture, to the twenty-second year of Zheng, in 1362 there was a local rebellion, Wengang and Zai Chengjun died in battle. King Kong Nu guarded Quzhou, and Zhu Wenxun died in Taiping.
The adopted sons of Zhu Yuanzhang are all adults; Most of them are orphans.
There are also parents who are still alive, most of them are not relatives, they were taken in by encounters, and they all changed their surnames to Zhu.
These children lived in Yuan Zhang's house and were cared for by Queen Ma.
Zhu Yuanzhang has seen a lot of orphans, and he adopted Mu Ying and others because he saw their "talented" qualifications and thought that they had a future for cultivation, so he was particularly fond of them.
And after his adopted son became famous, Zhu Yuanzhang let them live independently and restore their original surname.
When restoring his surname, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to explain the truth about adoption.
For example, to Mu Ying, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: Zhu Wenying, whose son are you?
Mu Ying replied that it was the emperor's child.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked repeatedly, Mu Ying was this sentence, and then Zhu Yuanzhang explained his origin.
Mu Ying was moved to cry, and said, "His Majesty Mu's mother's grace is like heaven and earth", Zhu Yuanzhang gave him the surname Mu because of this sentence, and took a word from Wenying's name called "Ying", which is the origin of Mu Ying's name.
Zhao Jinfeng's parents are ordinary people, and there is really no reason to be regarded as a righteous sister by the emperor.
Wei Zhongxian nodded: "Lord Shoufu's words, Lao Cheng Mouguo, do you all mean this?" ”
Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, and Feng Quan all nodded.
"Lord Ding, what do you think?" Wei Zhongxian saw that Ding Shaoshi never responded, so he could only ask directly.
Ding Shaoshi hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty recognizes Wei Bao's concubine as a righteous sister, I also think it's inappropriate, but this is Your Majesty's private matter, it mainly depends on Your Majesty's own intentions. As for Wu Xiang's promotion to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, since Wei Bao said in the book that the soldiers and horses were all trained by Wu Xiang in the Shanhaiwei guard, and Wu Xiang personally commanded the battle to achieve a great victory, the credit is at least half of Wu Xiang's, with such great merits, Wu Xiang's promotion to the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan is also reasonable. So, I'm okay with that. ”
Wei Zhongxian was unconsciously angry when he heard this, he originally wanted to use Ding Shaoshi as a gunman, but now it's good, Ding Shaoshi has completely become a good person!?
Wei Zhongxian knew that Wei Bao had eyes and ears in the sky, if he let Wei Bao know about this in the future, wouldn't he hate himself to death?
Wei Zhongxian knew that Wei Bao had nothing to do with the Donglin Party, and it was impossible for him to bribe the Donglin Party.
I received the money but didn't help with the errands, but the Donglin Party, instead of collecting the money, spoke for Wei Bao, doesn't this show that the Donglin Party is selfless and does not stick to one style to reward talents?
Wei Zhongxian originally wanted the ministers to ask to see the emperor now and oppose Wu Xiang's appointment as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, but now that Ding Shaoshi is doing this, Wei Zhongxian has no interest.
Wu Xiang should not be the chief soldier, in fact, in Wei Zhongxian's opinion, it really doesn't matter, Wei Zhongxian doesn't believe that the border army dares to rebel, and the Wu family and the Wei family have silver, and the Wu family and the Wei family control the main force of the border army, which is definitely not harmful to the Ming finances.
"Lord Shoufu, otherwise, you and the prince will go to see Your Majesty and tell Your Majesty the meaning of several ministers in your cabinet." Wei Zhongxian then said to Gu Bingqian.
Gu Bingqian was a little embarrassed, and Gu Bingqian didn't expect that Ding Shaoshi would have no opinion this time?
Gu Bingqian didn't get the benefit of Wei Bao either, and he didn't want to be this villain, so he really didn't understand what Wei Zhongxian meant now.
If Wu Xiang wants to be the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, let him be the emperor, if the emperor is willing to recognize Wei Bao's concubine as his sister-in-law, let the emperor admit it, there is no precedent, isn't it just a precedent, everything doesn't have a beginning.
"Nine thousand years old, what shall I say?" Gu Bingqian invited Wei Zhongxian aside to accept instructions.
Gu Bingqian felt that Wei Zhongxian seemed to be a little confused now.
"Forget it, no need to say it! You all agree with His Majesty's idea. "Wei Zhongxian didn't have a good air. I feel like a bunch of wretched subordinates, who listen to him for everything, without the slightest idea, very angry!
After doing it for a long time, the Donglin Party did not oppose Wei Bao's promotion, but he was the only one who obstructed Wei Bao, thinking of the one million taels of silver, Wei Zhongxian couldn't bear it.
Gu Bingqian saw Wei Zhongxian's anger in a good manner, and he almost fainted with fright, and he didn't know how he made the nine thousand years old unhappy, Nuo Nuo didn't dare to say anything.
Wei Zhongxian felt that his tone was not very good, and sighed: "That's it, Wei Bao's four, since your cabinet is all in favor, just let the prince return to His Majesty!" ”
Gu Bingqian was overjoyed when he heard this, he didn't want to bother the emperor if he had nothing to do, not to mention that the emperor didn't have many things to make up his own mind, so he hurriedly said yes.
Wei Zhongxian then beckoned Wang Tiqian to leave.
As soon as Wei Zhongxian left, Wei Guangwei, Huang Liji, and Feng Quan hurriedly pulled Gu Bingqian and asked what was going on.
Gu Bingqian told Wei Zhongxian's meaning, and several people were very strange, and they couldn't figure out what Grandpa Wei wanted to do.
However, more is better than less, and several people usually do not receive less Wei Bao's silver, and they feel that the Donglin Party is not opposed, and they have no need to object, they all feel very comfortable.
The most depressed was Wei Zhongxian, who didn't speak on the way back with Wang Tiqian.
Wei Zhongxian was depressed, feeling that Wei Bao's rise seemed to be unstoppable, not only did the people under him seem to have a good relationship with Wei Bao, but His Majesty favored Wei Bao.
And Wei Bao actually doesn't rely on himself, and he also has a strong backer in the court.
