Chapter 1320: The Road to the South (Fourth Update)
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang agreed to make a proposal to the emperor to solve the problem of insufficient manpower in the cabinet as soon as possible, but Xie Qian was completely unconcerned about this, and in his opinion, the probability that the emperor would agree to this matter could be said to be very small. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is no secret that Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youzhu was wary of the civil official group after the end of the Northwest War, although the emperor agreed to the main meritorious candidates reported by the civil official group, but also began to cultivate his own forces in a targeted manner, and secretly summoned Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia, Xiong Xiu and others into the palace, suggesting that they were fighting with the civil official group.
It's a pity that the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are basically monolithic, not to mention that these people selected by the emperor were originally one of the civil ministers, even if they weren't, these people would not fight head-on with Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others, because the status of the cabinet scholars in the minds of scholars is too lofty, and they are simply models for people in the world.
And with the support of readers, it is equivalent to having a mouthpiece of public opinion, everyone is praising the three virtuous ministers of the cabinet, who dares to easily pluck the beards of these three virtuous ministers?
In the past few years, among the court officials, there are very few people who can really threaten the interests of the civil official group, and the only alternative can be said to be Shen Xi, but now that Shen Xi has been exiled, no one has argued with the civil official group, and the civil official group is now relying on the mouthpiece of the imperial court, and actually took the initiative to increase the number of cabinet ministers, in fact, it also has the meaning of letting the emperor continue to rely on them and make the emperor unable to come to power.
In this case, you say that the emperor can endure this breath?
Xie Qian came out of Wenyuan Pavilion and did not go home, but came to his small courtyard on East Chang'an Street to meet Ma Wensheng alone.
Regarding what happened in the cabinet, Xie Qian never hid it from Ma Wensheng, in this small circle, in fact, Xie Qian was not the leader, but the leader was Ma Wensheng, the elder of the Four Dynasties.
After listening to Xie Qian's story, Ma Wensheng comforted: "Yu Qiao, why do you bother about this? In fact, Bin Zhi said this, not necessarily to target you, now that Liu Shaofu and Bin Zhi are not in good health, it is really embarrassing for them to stay up all night on duty, they just want to find a helper for you! ”
"Helper? Hmph, I think it's for me to find a few opponents! They wish they could send all three candidates to the cabinet, and then I will have a complete rest, and no one can restrain them! ”
Xie Qian was still a little angry in his words.
Xie Qian admits that he has been an official in the DPRK for so many years, and has always regarded Liu Jian and Li Dongyang as his best colleagues and friends, but now these two have joined forces to deal with him, which makes him unable to accept it calmly no matter what.
Ma Wensheng continued to convince him: "Yu Qiao, you must be worried about Shen Xi's transfer, in fact, you should think like this, Shen Xi's transfer is not a good thing, he is still young, and there are far more places where he can make contributions outside than in the capital, and Liu Shaofu and Bin Zhi have always had prejudices against him, only if they are outside, they will not be hated, and they will have the opportunity to enter the cabinet in the future, if he is in the court, every move is under the attention of someone with a heart, if he makes a mistake, when will he have the opportunity to be promoted?" ”
Xie Qian shook his head and sighed lightly: "I don't want Shen Xi to be promoted to a high position all of a sudden, I just hope that he can complete the transition smoothly in the court, and I don't have the luxury of wanting him to enter the cabinet when he is weak...... With his academic attainments, in another ten or twenty years, he will have a chance to enter the cabinet. ”
"I'm just a little worried now, this kid's ability, Kuang Fu Sheji is just a matter of raising his hands, but if he blindly suppresses it and arouses dissatisfaction in his heart, he may not know what path he will take in the future. Even if he is a young talent now, he may become a scourge of the Ming Dynasty in the future! ”
Shen Xi in today's Ming Dynasty, can indeed be regarded as a demon-level existence, at a young age, he even won the three yuan, in just a few years in the officialdom, he relied on a series of dazzling feats to obtain the official position of the second grade of the feudal official, pacifying the party, whether it is in the management of the army or the administration has made great achievements.
Zhu Youzhi was afraid that a demon like Shen Xi would threaten the stability of the Ming Dynasty, and now Xie Qian basically holds the same view as Zhu Youji.
If Shen Xi can be correctly guided, Shen Xi will become the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty just around the corner, but if the guidance is not good, it is likely that Shen Xi's heart will be placed on the crooked path, and then Shen Xi will have a great possibility to use his talent bias and become a "traitor" who will bring disaster to the country and the people.
Although Ma Wensheng did not say anything more, he still agreed with Xie Qian's statement...... Blindly suppressing Shen Xi's merits is not conducive to Shen Xi's cultivation.
But now that it's over, what's the use of thinking about it?
……
……
At this moment, on the way south, Shen Xi, who has always maintained an optimistic attitude, did have some disappointment and dissatisfaction with the imperial court, but he knew how to regulate his emotions, after all, his psychological age was there, and from his expectations, leaving the capital may not be a good thing, especially as a relatively important official position as the governor of the two provinces.
Now that Emperor Hongzhi has given Shen Xi a stage to display his political ambitions, he feels that he has the conditions and possibilities to create a new era.
It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to be surnamed Shen, but Shen Xi can completely let the two provinces of Huguang and Jiangjiang have the surname Shen, and in this place where the emperor is far away, he can give full play to his talents and guide the Ming Dynasty to develop in the right direction.
It didn't take long for Shen Xi, who went south, to feel the benefits of being the governor of the two provinces.
Less than 300 miles from the capital to the south, there are special people to greet and entertain along the official roads, which are not only the personnel sent by the Beijing Huguang and Jiangjiang offices to take the lead, but also the officials of the local government along the way, Shen Xi does not have to worry about it at all, there are people responsible for eating, drinking and Lazar, and it can be regarded as a journey to the mountains and rivers.
Shen Xi no longer worries about his food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything is the best reception, and even the clothes that he has changed out of his hands are thrown aside, and after a few days, the officials of the post station along the way will clean them and then send a fast horse to deliver them, take them out and take a look, and iron them neatly.
If it was another time, Shen Xi might have been polite to these people, but now he is happy that someone has paved the way for him, and there are many people who follow him south, and he no longer needs to take care of them, the only thing is the gift sent by the local officials, all of which are politely refused.
In the capital, Shen Xi is an inconspicuous pawn, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Ma Wensheng and other ministers arbitrarily take out a fame and status far above him, he almost has to salute anyone he sees, just like his grandson, he has to hold his tail and be a man.
But after leaving the capital, Shen Xi's identity and status became prominent.
Because Shen Xi was ranked second in the First Battle of Tatar, and many soldiers in North China participated in the previous Battle of Tatar, whether it was in the eyes of the soldiers of the Beijing camp or the officers and soldiers of the local guard, Shen Xi belonged to the absolute first meritorious man.
The local officials all knew that the emperor appointed Shen Xi as the head of the household but was vetoed by the civil official group, and they were very stammered with Shen Xi, because they had a hunch that when Shen Xi returned to the capital, it would no longer be as simple as serving as a squire of the six departments, maybe he could directly do the six books, or be a cabinet scholar, and it would be too late to stammer.
Originally, he planned to cross the Yellow River and take the canal and go south by boat, but in the end Shen Xi decided to simply take the official road and wait until the river to decide whether to change to a boat.
