Wei Zhongxian secretly praised Wei Bao for being really smart, but he was not very surprised, because it was not difficult to guess, and said coldly: "This Rong Zhengyu can't do things!" You go on to say. ”

"If Jiu Qiansushi really plans to use Yang Lian to open the knife, I don't think this point is good. It's good to kill any animal from scratch, but it's best not to see the Donglin Party as an animal, because they are not so united! Wei Bao said.

Wei Bao's words successfully attracted Wei Zhongxian's attention, "You go on!" ”

"People who are attached to the nine-thousand-year-old, in order to gain power and wealth, and people who are attached to the Donglin Party, are actually the same, they are far from being as great as they say. How many people in the Donglin Party have clean butts? Isn't it by illegally registering land that does not belong to you in your name, helping wealthy households in various places to evade taxes, and looting the common people's usual silver layer by layer, and living on these? Isn't it true that the vast majority of people become officials just to get rich? They are still waiting and watching for the time being, and they are still inclined to the Donglin Party, mainly because the time for the nine thousand years to gain power is still very short, and the power of the Donglin Party is still very large, and the officials related to the Donglin Academy are all over the world! They felt that one day, they would be able to bring down 9,000 years old. Wei Bao analyzed.

Wei Zhongxian didn't interrupt Wei Bao this time, and kept waiting for Wei Bao to continue.

Wei Bao seemed to be encouraged, and said even more vigorously, "Nine thousand years old, if we want to strengthen our strength, the best way is not to capture the thief and capture the king first, not to attack those eager pioneers of the Donglin Party!" Instead, he stabbed at the wavering people below, separated Yang Lian, a diehard member of the Donglin Party, from others, completely isolated them, and weakened them! If you think, you take the lead, and the other sheep will attack it! And you move the sheep below, they are too busy to take care of themselves, where is the time to deal with nine thousand years old? ”

Wei Zhongxian stared at Wei Bao with understanding, and after a while, he sneered, "In the end, it's still a doll, what you think is too simple, whether it is moving Yang Lian and these leaders, or moving the Donglin Party below, they will not sit idly by." These are empty words. ”

"I have a specific solution!" Wei Bao said flatly.

"Little monkey cub, can you finish all the words at once? Don't gasp all the time. Wei Zhongxian was angry and funny.

"Nine thousand years old, if I make a meritorious contribution this time, I will be promoted next month, and I will be the sixth grade!" Wei Bao saw that Wei Zhongxian's appetite had risen, and took the opportunity to make his request.

Wei Zhongxian laughed angrily at Wei Bao again, "Didn't our family tell you earlier?" There is an official position! But if you're too young, others will disagree! ”

"It's just a positive six-grade, and others won't pay attention to it. Moreover, I don't have to worry about finding a place for me, I will clear a bunch of positions myself, and when the time comes, I can let me go up with the boat. At the time of employing people, it is a time when everyone is in danger, who cares if I am promoted? Besides, I'm a dignified gold list title! Tanhualang, who is eight classics, not to mention being promoted to the sixth grade, is the fifth grade, which is nothing. ”

"Boy, don't be busy blowing yet, it depends on how much credit you can make." Wei Zhongxian schemed with a straight face: "Officialdom is not your child's house, you are stupid to be those people?" Don't make a bad one, you didn't hit the rabbit, but you broke your foot first. ”

"Nine thousand years old, but rest assured, I already have a full plan! How about I help the 9,000-year-old clean up a group of Donglin Party in the Metropolitan Procuratorate this time, so that the 9,000-year-old can account for more than half of the number? That's a lot of credit, right? The location of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not trivial. Wei Bao said.

Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed in his heart, but he still kept quiet, if Wei Bao could really help his men and horses gain the upper hand in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, not to mention the sixth grade, there was nothing in the fifth grade!

"Let's talk about it, it seems that the Metropolitan Procuratorate doesn't have a place for the five products, right?" Wei Zhongxian said casually: "You can't let me give you a bachelor's title of Zhengwupin in Hanlin Academy, right?" Then the whole Ming Dynasty is going to make a fuss. ”

"First of all, tell me what should be given, I will never delay the nine thousand years old." Wei Bao said with a smile, "If it is done, get me a Dali Temple Zuo Si Cheng, which is the fifth grade, and then concurrently serves as the experience of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, which is the sixth grade." In this way, I can supervise two of the three divisions of the law for the 9,000-year-old across the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Dali Temple, and I see that many officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the officials of the Dali Temple are holding two positions, right? How does the 9000-year-old feel? ”

Wei Zhongxian gasped, "Boy, you are still calculating, do you know that there are quite a lot of officials in the left temple of Dali Temple?" It is said that it is the fifth grade, once it is released, it is at least the fourth grade! You're a 15-year-old kid, and you're not afraid of the wind blowing up to your waist? Whether it is Dali Temple or the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, if you want to achieve seven grades up, you must at least have at least ten years of experience in officialdom, and you must have political achievements that can convince others! ”

"Nine thousand years old, let's not talk about that, I can count a lot of wine bags and rice bags at hand, and they come right away by slipping whiskers, and none of them have any political achievements, these things, aren't they just two mouths casually touching? As long as the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple have no opinions, what can others say? Other yamen will certainly not care about these idle matters. Wei Bao smiled: "I said, I will find a way to make these positions vacant by myself, and I don't need to be nine thousand years old to make another Zhang Luo for me, nine thousand years old don't need to bother at all." ”

"Hmph, the approval of the celebrant is not enough, and what about the officials and the cabinet, your official position as the Ming Dynasty is up and down from our family alone?" Wei Zhongxian was a little impatient.

"Nine thousand years old, this is not interesting, my Xiaobao is loyal to nine thousand years old, liver and brain, every day for the nine thousand years old thing is to forget to sleep and eat, nine thousand years old is just such a little thing, refuse to agree to me?" Wei Bao sighed.

"That's it! That's it! If you can really get rid of a group of Donglin people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and let more than half of our people, I promise you to be the Metropolitan Procuratorate Experience Division, and you will be the sixth product! This is already an unheard of promotion speed in the Ming Dynasty! Okay, right? Wei Zhongxian took a step back and said.

"What about the left temple of Dali Temple?" Wei Bao was not reconciled and still asked.

This is Wei Bao, this way of bargaining in the countryside, Comrade Wei really hasn't encountered it for a long time.

Wei Zhongxian shook his head and said, "Dali Temple Zuo Si Cheng is definitely not good!" In this way, after the matter is completed, let you concurrently serve as the left temple of Dali Temple! How about the six products? This is already the maximum that our family can allow! Do you really think that other yamen can't speak? The Donglin Party has people in various yamen, and if you rise too fast as a 15-year-old kid, you can crush you to death. ”

Wei Bao felt that he had really touched the bottom line of Lao Wei, and it was true that people covered the sky with their hands, but there were indeed many obstacles, and if he was really promoted too fast and too fiercely, he was likely to become the target of public criticism! It's not necessarily a good thing.

If you can gain a firm foothold in the two divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, you will be able to control more than half of the three divisions of the Ming Dynasty, and you will already have a lot of authority and influence!

"Hurry up, our family is not as idle as your kid." Wei Zhongxian saw that Wei Bao was still groaning, and couldn't help but urge.

Wei Zhongxian is already very unhappy, and he has never encountered such a bargain with him, especially in recent years, Wei Zhongxian's power is all over the world, and the Ming court is up and down, who dares to bargain with him like this?

"Nine thousand years old, I guess that the confession of Yang Lian's daughter that Rong Zhengyu took must be an admission that she accepted a bribe from Xiong Tingbi's daughter, which means that Yang Lian received a bribe from Xiong Tingbi, right?" Wei Bao was no longer entangled in the matter of official positions, and agreed to Wei Zhongxian's proposal to give him two official positions in Dali Temple and the Inspectorate. It is already very possible to get the big positions of these two real power departments.

"Not bad." Wei Zhongxian replied.

"If the nine-thousand-year-old wants to sue Yang Lian so hard, no one will be convinced, including those who have a heart for the nine-thousand-year-old, everyone knows what is going on. The fighting method in the officialdom still depends on who is in charge! Zhanli took the lead. Wei Bao said: "It's better to change the confession to, Yang Lian's daughter sued our people!" fabricated some innocuous charges, and at the same time, Yang Lian's daughter also sued those who had unclear tendencies, although their hearts were towards the Donglin Party, but they did not dare to stand with the Donglin Party. In this way, no one can figure out the truth of this confession! Get the confession, immediately release Yang Lian's daughter, kick the ball back to the Donglin Party, and see what they do!? ”

The more Wei Zhongxian listened, the more energetic he became, and his eyes bulged out, "Don't stop, keep talking!" You little monkey cub, you really have a bad stomach! You sued our people and those two-headed grasses, leaving only the hardcore Donglin Party, and then let Yang Xue go, and then what? ”

"And then there are two grasses that everyone is in danger, our people are originally a plate of loose sand, and they just want to rely on the power of nine thousand years old to make profits, but in this way, they can see the true face of the Donglin Party, as long as they don't stand with the Donglin Party wholeheartedly, the Donglin Party will eradicate everyone! They are so black and ruthless! When the time comes, who the 9000-year-old wants to keep and who to think about, not only can it be clear at a glance, but it can also do whatever the 9000-year-old wants! There is no shortage of people in our Ming Dynasty, a bunch of candidates are waiting to fill the vacancies, and there are only forty or fifty people in the Jinshi of this department, and there are more than 250 people who have not been placed. As long as it is a person who is promoted by the hands of nine thousand years old, let's test their quality first to see if they really want to be nine thousand years old, and then we can reuse them. In short, the biggest advantage of Jiuqiansui is that he has the highest power, can decide whether the officials will stay or not, squeeze out the bottom batch of Donglin Party, first dig up their foundation, and then slowly dig up! By making these false smokescreens that the Donglin Party took the initiative to attack, when the time comes, no one will have the kung fu to deal with the nine thousand years old, and the nine thousand years old can easily control the entire court situation. The more Wei Bao spoke, the happier he became, and his voice became a little hoarse.

Wei Zhongxian became more and more excited the more he listened, and nodded frequently.

"Nine thousand years old, what do you think?" Wei Bao flattered.

"It's good, but in this way, everyone is in danger, and then the Donglin Party will unite to make trouble again, and the entire Ming Dynasty government will not operate anymore?" After all, Wei Zhongxian is the actual leader of the Ming Dynasty, he not only wants to engage in internal struggles, but also takes into account that the big ship will not be overturned.

"I can't stop." Wei Bao said with a smile: "Let's just take the Metropolitan Procuratorate first, and don't immediately spread to the entire Ming Dynasty, as long as we act ruthlessly and decisively enough, we will be able to grasp the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple within ten days and half a month!" Don't say that not doing things for ten days and half a month will not affect the entire court, what will the officials do? In addition to quarreling, what contribution does it make to Daming? Nine thousand years old work hard every day to manage the Ming Dynasty, but these people will only make bad things behind their backs, and they should have been eradicated a long time ago! ”

Wei Bao's words, word by word, reached Wei Zhongxian's heart, and the old man was more refreshing than drinking elixir.

"That's what I said, but our family is still worried that things will get bigger, and I'm afraid it won't end well." Wei Zhongxian was still worried: "Moreover, it is easy to say, who to sue, this has to be considered slowly." ”

"Nine thousand years old don't worry, I've already drawn up a list here!" At this time, Wei Bao took out a list for Fan to ghostwrite.

Wei Bao never handed over his own handwriting to the outside world, including the greeting post to Wei Zhongxian, which he had already asked Fan to write for himself, and it was not his own handwriting, so as long as Wei Bao did not openly stand on the side of the eunuch party, he was not worried that Wei Zhongxian would take out his worship post in the future, and it would affect him when the Donglin Party came to power.

Wei Zhongxian took the list and looked at it, "Why did you write your own name on it?" You kid, you're so poisonous, so bad, and insidious. ”

Burst.

The cunning father-in-law Wei said this, and Wei Bao didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"Except for more than 30 people from the hardcore Donglin Party of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple, I have all listed the others, and there is no one left! It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it's not a dead loyalty to the nine thousand years old this time, it will be eradicated! All substitutions! As long as the 9,000-year-old and the Donglin Party fight with great fanfare, whether they are facing the 9,000-year-old person can be seen clearly at a glance! Those wall grasses, one counts as one, all of them are either imprisoned, or exiled, don't let any of them go! Wei Bao said fiercely.

Wei Zhongxian touched his mouth, put the list that Wei Bao gave him on the table, and put his two hands on the armrests of the Taishi chair, after all, he was old, and after listening to Wei Bao say so many things about fighting at one time, the old man needed to digest it, and he was also a little tired.

Wei Zhongxian fought very fiercely with the Donglin Party in the past, but the two sides are more like low-level leagues, just like the Huaguo football team in later generations, the level of primary school students, which position of the person is not good, substitution, the coach blindly uses foreign coaches, a lot of silver is thrown out, Mao has no effect, and he is not committed to the development of youth training, and he is not committed to planning the route of the entire national team.

I don't know what I'm going to do now, and I don't know what I'm going to do in the future.

And the next-door neighbors, Japan and South Korea, have long been at the level of the European battlefield.

You must know that in the early years, China was not weaker than Japan and South Korea.

Without tactical guidance, no long-term planning, and no down-to-earth talent training, everything is empty talk.

This is also the reason why, although Wei Zhongxian holds great power, he has never been able to defeat the Donglin Party.

Yes, the eunuch party is very crazy, one by one like a mad dog, but the Donglin Party has a strong foundation, there are many talents, every year of Jinshi, no matter how you card, at least more than one-third of the people are from Donglin Academy, or worship in Donglin Academy, which causes, no matter how ruthless the eunuch party is, the Donglin party people are like weeds, and after a while, the spring breeze blows and grows again.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the party struggle began in the 22nd year of Wanli "Jingcha" (assessment of officials) and never stopped until the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

Both on political and military issues, there are endless debates.

At first, it was a dispute between the Donglin Party and the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, and later evolved into a dispute between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party.

Empress Mingshenzong has no children, Concubine Wang Gong gave birth to a son Chang Luo, and Concubine Zheng Guifei gave birth to a son Chang Xun, who is the king of Fu, and Chang Luo is the elder. But Shenzong favored Concubine Zheng and wanted to establish Chang Xun, but he did not establish the prince. Cabinet scholars Wang Xijue, Shen Zhengyi, Fang Congzhe and others successively followed.

The Donglin Party members wrote against it, and all parties rose up to oppose Donglin. As a result, there was the dispute over the "national capital", the dispute over the merger of the three kings, the dispute over the country of King Fu, the dispute over the "three cases", and the dispute over "Li Sancai's entry into the cabinet", and the Donglin Party and its opposition launched a debate on the issue of establishing the prince for more than 20 years.

In the end, Shenzong finally established Chang Luo as the crown prince, and the power of the Zheng clan was suppressed to a certain extent. However, the Donglin Party's wish to promote Li Sancai as prime minister also failed to materialize.

At the time of the Apocalypse, the party struggle within the ruling class intensified. Initially, Donglin Party members Ye Xianggao, Zou Yuanbiao, Yang Lian, Zhao Nanxing and others were given the opportunity to govern, and Zhejiang, Kunming, and Xuan parties were once ostracized.

Soon, the eunuchs headed by Wei Zhongxian formed an alliance with some of the parties in Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Xuan, and Kun, and were called "eunuch parties" by the Donglin Party, and the army sprung up.

The Donglin Party vehemently opposed the "eunuch party" to power.

In the process of party struggle, the Donglin Party members opposed the reckless behavior of the ruling faction headed by the emperor, opposed the plundering of land by princes and relatives, and opposed the wanton expropriation of mine supervisors and tax collectors, representing the aspirations of the people and winning the support of the citizens.

But the fierce party struggle at the end of the Ming Dynasty greatly weakened the power of the Ming Dynasty.

"The Donglin Party has a strong talent base, this is one of them, and the second is that the history of the Donglin Party is far earlier than nine thousand years old, and people have been developing for forty or fifty years, and we have only been engaged in it for a few years, so if we move blindly, we will not be able to hurt the foundation of the Donglin Party in another ten or twenty years." Wei Bao saw that Wei Zhongxian was silent for a long time, thinking that the old boy was still hesitating, and said further.

"Our family is tired, you can retreat first." Wei Zhongxian said with his eyes closed.

Wei Bao Khan, Lao Tzu said it so well and so thoroughly, you still hesitate? Hurry up and make a decision, according to my meaning, massacre the Donglin Party, right? Wantonly attack the Donglin Party, right?

No matter how many unjust, false and wrongful cases will be caused, Wei Bao feels that it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty to try his best to weaken the Donglin Party and the civilian official group. Of course, it is also advantageous for himself, and the method is proposed by himself, as long as he works hard to place his own people in the process of the big blood exchange, won't he form his own forces?

Party strife has existed in all dynasties since ancient times, even if the Donglin party struggle is indeed quite harmful, but it is still not very clear, what did the Ming Dynasty die from, and how much weight did the party struggle occupy in it?

The fall of the Ming Dynasty was indeed related to party strife, but it was not entirely due to party strife, and other factors also accounted for a large proportion. The most important thing is the decay of the rule. Moreover, Donglin was struggled out, so there was only a party struggle in the Ming Dynasty and no Donglin party struggle.

Therefore, Wei Bao feels that party strife is not the main problem. The main problem of the Ming Dynasty was that the talent mechanism was not good. Holistic and systemic will not work.

In the final analysis, it is caused by political corruption and incompetence, and corruption is the hotbed of party strife.

Wei Bao also wanted to increase the attack surface, so as to get a sum of money for Daming, so as to relieve the financial pressure of Daming.

However, Wei Bao did not dare to hesitate to delay, and bowed his head humbly: "Yes, the nine thousand years old should rest early, take care of your noble body, and the slave will retire." ”

Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes, minion? Da Ming never called it that, huh? You kid, this fart is also amazing.

Wei Bao is now an official, he should have been called a lower official, or a villain, a boy, whatever he wants, he can't reach the point of a slave.

However, this slave moved Grandpa Wei very much.

Because Wei Bao is not his godson, nor is he his godson, Wei Zhongxian trusts this kind of relationship more.

And Wei Bao is willing to be a slave rather than Wei Zhongxian's godson and grandson, so he really can't get out of it.

As soon as Wei Bao left, Fu Yingxing came out from behind the screen in the compartment.

"Did you hear what Wei Bao said just now?" Wei Zhongxian asked.

"Uncle, I heard it clearly." Fu Yingxing replied.

"What do you think?" Wei Zhongxian asked.

"Uncle, Wei Bao is a very ghostly person, uncle must not listen to him." Fu Yingxing didn't have a good impression of Wei Bao anyway.

Wei Zhongxian said indifferently: "I didn't ask you how Wei Bao is now, what do you think of this method he came up with?" ”

Fu Yingxing was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "It seems to make some sense, but my nephew is stupid, and he didn't have time to think about it, how to decide, and my uncle has to make an idea." ”

Wei Zhongxian opened his eyes, "It's not that you're stupid, it's that there is no one around me who is as smart as Wei Bao!" The more this kid desperately pats our family's ass, the more our family is worried about him! He said that he was helping our family monitor the Donglin Party behind his back, and helping our family to make suggestions, but in the final analysis, he still didn't want to stand on our side! If he is really loyal to our family, our family will really reuse him! ”

"Didn't he vote? If my uncle really values Wei Bao, he can let the news go and let everyone know that Wei Bao is our person! Fu Yingxing said.
