Chapter 343: The Dispute Between Civil and Military Affairs
Soon, Liu Juntao gave an order to Yan Hu, the general of the rear battalion stationed in Xuzhou, to lead his troops to block all the official roads of Nanzhili to Yanzhou Mansion in the north in the name of "training the army and strictly guarding against spies".
For the rest of the people, they must also be strictly examined and searched, and the people of the Yu family, the Tian family, and the Cao family must not be allowed to enter the Yanzhou Mansion.
At the same time, Liu Zi'an also sent a fast horse north to Beijing City, and handed over the evidence of the head of the family Yu Shao Qin, the head of the Tian family Tian Xun, and the head of the Cao family Cao Baolei colluding with the ministers of the DPRK and China to pervert the law for bribes, accumulate wealth and gain money, and fish and flesh the common people.
After Yu Qian received these evidences, he was immediately furious, and the next day he entered the palace and presented all the evidence to Emperor Jingtai.
The next morning, Emperor Jingtai was furious in the court, and on the spot, he wanted to put the seven ministers who colluded with the head of the Yu family, Yu Shao Qin, the head of the Tian family, Tian Xun, and the head of the Cao family, Cao Baolei.
However, Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, joined forces with a group of imperial historians to stop him, saying: You can't listen to Liu Juntao's words and arrest the minister, you should wait until the Yu family, the Tian family, and the Cao family present evidence, and compare the testimony and evidence of the two sides before making a decision.
For a while, the imperial historians and many civil officials in the court seconded the proposal, and Emperor Jingtai was also a little hesitant when he saw this.
At this moment, Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and a group of military attachés retorted one after another, demanding that Emperor Jingtai severely punish these seven corrupt officials who colluded with officials and businessmen to correct the dynasty.
Suddenly, there were constant quarrels in the court, although Yu Qian and other military attachés were small in number and weak, but after all, there was conclusive evidence provided by Liu Juntao, and Emperor Jingtai also agreed with these evidences, so the two sides were fighting for the time being.
After a while, Emperor Jingtai saw that the matter could not be concluded for a while, so he ordered that the seven ministers suspected of collusion between officials and businessmen should be temporarily remanded at home, and then retreated from the court to discuss again.
After more than ten days, the focus of controversy in the court was the evidence provided by Liu Juntao that the Nanzhili bigwigs and the courtiers colluded, Yu Qian and Shi Heng each brought civil and military officials to quarrel constantly, and Emperor Jingtai also joined the "war group" from time to time, and the hall was very lively for a while.
However, what made Shi Heng and the civil officials allied with him anxious was that those Nanzhili bigwigs never sent any evidence, and everyone was unfounded from beginning to end, and in the face of the "offensive" of Qian and other military attachés, they gradually began to be a little powerless!
On this day, Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, and Xu Youzhen gathered at home to discuss, and the three of them did not expect that Liu Juntao, the general soldier of Yanzhou Mansion, would have the ability to fight with many bigwigs with deep backgrounds in Nanzhili, and he would not fall behind at all.
And he was able to collect so much ironclad evidence in a short period of time, and in the blink of an eye, the situation was pushed to a situation that was unfavorable to everyone.
At this time, Cao Jixiang said in a sharp voice: "This matter originally had nothing to do with us, but the right governor thought that Liu Juntao was disobedient to discipline and wanted to intervene, but now he is in a bit of a dilemma!" Right Governor, is this look worth it? ”
Shi Heng glared at Cao Jixiang, snorted coldly and did not speak.
Xu Youzhen laughed, relieved the embarrassment a little, and then said in a deep voice: "The right governor may have his own ideas, and this is not a wrong thing. It's just that the battle between Liu Juntao and a few wealthy merchants in Nan Zhili has now turned into an open and secret battle between the Chinese and military ministers of the DPRK, and it has begun to deteriorate a little, which we never expected! ”
"That's right!"
Speaking of this, Shi Heng also said: "Now the ministers of the court and the central government can no longer care about the battle between the Emperor and His Majesty, and they have all turned their attention to the current civil and military disputes!" It's all this Liu Juntao, who can actually affect the direction of the government and politics through the dispute with the wealthy businessmen of Nanzhili, I really underestimate him! ”
Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, and both of them asked: "What does the right governor mean that the current situation of the government is what Liu Juntao deliberately did?" ”
Shi Heng didn't know why he had such thoughts, but he thought so in his heart, the current situation must have been secretly instructed by Liu Juntao!
"That's right! This Liu Juntao's ambition is not small, in just a few years, he can change from an unknown grass man to a town commander, I really can't keep him! ”
Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen were unimpressed when they heard this, both of them thought that Liu Juntao was just a local chief military officer, and he had no power in the DPRK, how could it affect the direction of the DPRK government and provoke disputes among the DPRK's Chinese military officials?
However, the two looked at Shi Heng's appearance, and they were a little hesitant in their hearts.
Suddenly, Xu Youzhen secretly thought: "Could it be that all this situation was carefully planned by that Liu Juntao?" If so, then Liu Juntao is really terrible, what a lot of intelligence is needed! ”
At this time, Na Shi Heng said: "I look at the current situation, let's continue to fight with Yu Qian, and we must not back down!" ”
Cao Jixiang laughed and said: "It's not a problem to fight, Lord Xu and I have nothing to lose, but we just push those imperial historians and civil officials to charge into battle." But for the right governor, I'm afraid it's not so easy, right? ”
Shi Heng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Cao Jixiang said: "The right capital governor was originally a military general, and he has been fighting on the border for many years, this is a serious military attaché!" But what now? The right governor stood with the civil officials, and embarrassed the military attachés everywhere in the court! Maybe the right governor didn't pay attention, but now the military attaches inside and outside the central government have a lot of opinions about the right governor! ”
Xu Youzhen also said: "The right governor should think about it more, after all, the foundation of the right governor is among the military attachés!" ”
Shi Heng also frowned, obviously in a dilemma, after a long time, he slapped the table and said loudly: "Okay! This time, I won't come out again, I'll just sit in the house and watch the situation change! ”
Then, Shi Heng said very regretfully: "However, this time, I have to let Liu Juntao go!" ”
Cao Jixiang and Xu Youzhen couldn't help but glance at each other when they heard this, but neither of them said anything.
A few days later, the controversy between the DPRK and China was still ongoing, but unlike the previous days, Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang, and Xu Youzhen all died down, and they no longer had to embarrass with Yu Qian and other military attachés.
However, a number of civil officials in the DPRK and the central government became more and more courageous, constantly attacking Yu Qian and other military attachés, and there was a great tendency to use the topic to play, and even many imperial historians began to fabricate charges and impeach Qian and other military attachés.
At this time, the original dispute between Liu Juntao and the wealthy merchant bosses of Nanzhili was no longer mentioned by many people, and instead of the struggle between the Chinese officials and military generals of the dynasty, it had completely risen to the civil and military dispute of the Daming!
Moreover, due to the fiasco of the Tumubao Change, the military attaché group and the Xungui group of the Daming were completely lost, and now almost all the military generals in the DPRK are newly promoted, not only have no qualifications, but also their ability and background cannot be compared with the Chinese officials of the DPRK, making this civilian-military struggle begin to tilt one-sidedly towards the civilian official group!
Seeing this, Yu Qian was even more angry, and every day he fought with those imperial historians in the court.
After more than ten days, not only did the handling of the affairs of the DPRK and China begin to become unsmooth, but even the civil and military officials and generals in various parts of the Ming Dynasty also heard about the battles between the DPRK and China, and began to become full of gunpowder.
At the same time, Emperor Jingtai saw that the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty began to fight-for-tat, and all of them diverted their attention from the struggle for the throne, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and began to secretly speed up the deployment against the Taishang Emperor.
As for this big controversy between the court and China, Emperor Jingtai also kept silent very delicately, allowing the ministers of civil and military affairs to argue with each other, and he pushed himself to the back to maintain the situation!
