"But they'll be grateful to you!"

Yang Qing pointed at Yan Yingyuan and said.

"I don't like you after all, no matter what you do, it's hard to change this, even if you continue to promote those jinshi, they will only think that this is what they deserve, and they will not think that you have given them help.

So you don't have to worry about them at all.

And these people are different.

They will remember you for your support and remember that you made them stand out. ”

He went on to say.

Ma Shiying smiled but did not answer.

He has a complicated background, and it is even accurate to say that he is also a peripheral of the Donglin Party, and he was taken down by the eunuchs when he was the governor of Xuanda, because he had a close relationship with the Donglin Party. Later, it was revived because the Donglin Party boss Zhou Yanru became the first assistant, the latter was bought with money, and Ma Shiying's friend was forced by the Donglin Party to become a eunuch Ruan Dacheng sponsored a full 10,000 taels. Originally, Ruan Dacheng wanted to return to the Donglin Party, but the other Donglin parties were firmly opposed......

I have to say that this is really excessive.

Lao Ma was forced to apostatize at the beginning, but he was forced by them, but he was not blocked in the Donglin Point General Record, that was the backbone, Zuo Guangdou had already said that he was the official to give the matter, and even called him to the capital because of this. As a result, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, and Yang Lian teamed up to bully him and gave it to Gao Panlong's disciple Wei Dazhong, which made him so angry that he defected to Wei Zhongxian, and now more than ten years have passed, and he is shy and takes money to buy it.

This is bullying!

In the end, Ruan Dacheng had no choice but to recommend his friend Ma Shiying, after all, Zhou Yanru's 10,000 taels had already been spent, and it was definitely not possible to collect money and not do things, so Ma Shiying was used to replace Ruan Dacheng without opposition within the Donglin Party.

This is the relationship between Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng.

Therefore, in the original history, the two of them were regarded as embarrassed by the Donglin Qunxian.

But Ma Shiying, who is from Guizhou, even if he already belongs to the periphery of the Donglin Party, is still regarded as a marginal role, and it is very embarrassing to belong to which identity, and the Donglin Party will not take him to play.

This also led to the same embarrassment of his official position when he was in Chongzhen.

Chongzhen actually prefers him.

Originally, after Chongzhen crossed to the south, he wanted to use him to replace Shi Kefa, who had discipline but no hard work, so he added the title of university scholar to him, and he was already an auxiliary minister in theory, but Donglin Qunxian just wanted to squeeze him to Fengyang to be cannon fodder, or Shi Kefa had to monopolize the power of the cabinet. The latter really has no practical ability, and it is not even as good as Yuan Jixian and Lu Zhenfei, and it is not as good as Ma Shiying, who has been firmly controlling a group of arrogant and domineering military leaders in Fengyang, at least dutifully defending the Huaihe defense line.

But Donglin Qunxian is against him returning to Beijing, in their opinion, Ma Shiying is from a humble background......

He is not a son of a family.

He was born in a poor family, and was later adopted by a betel nut dealer, of course, to be precise, he should have bought it from his parents, and then changed his surname to Ma and became a Guiyang, and came out step by step through the imperial examination. This made Ma Shiying gradually get closer to the Xungui group, and joined Xungui to deal with Yang Qing together, but the Xungui group failed miserably, but Yang Qing spared him, and because of Huang Degong, he was re-appointed as the governor of Yunnan, and then he became Yang Qing's henchman.

But he can't be said to be Yang Qing's cronies.

The governor of Yunnan is a chore, at most Yang Qing sent him to the labor camp, in the process of reforming the guard, not only someone exploded Yang Qing, he also suffered from black arrows, if it wasn't for the sober-minded man who wore a cuirass all year round, his life would have been lost in Yunnan at this time.

But that's a good thing.

Because of this arrow, he got Yang Qing's final understanding, and then took over the lack of the secretary of the ministry.

Of course, it's also drudgery.

This is being scolded, being greeted by the ancestors, and even being beaten with black bricks, at this time he is ready to continue to wear that cuirass in the future, saying that he is now Yang Qing's standard lackey in a sense......

"Yao Caogong, I have high hopes for you!"

Yang Qing said very frankly.

"Thank you, old man, Zhongyong Marquis!"

Ma Shiying hurriedly said.

"You still don't understand what I mean, Shi Gong is virtuous but lacks talent, and he has always been tolerant of the Donglin Party and does not dare to fight with them, which is very bad, he is indeed a loyal minister and a person of noble character, but he is not suitable to be a first assistant, and Daming needs a new first assistant."

Yang Qing said.

After this round of infighting, he will definitely put Shi Kefa aside, the latter is suitable to be a judge rather than the first assistant, anyway, Shi Kefa is also very melancholy, it is better to let him out, and Shi Stewei by his side also ensured that Shi Kefa's family will not complain. There is no one suitable for this role in his own northern party system, and with him in control of the overall situation, Shousuke can only be a decoration, and his cronies currently have important positions, and it is impossible to waste them in this position. And this person can't be with the Donglin Party, the qualifications must be sufficient, the ability must be there, it is best to be a southerner, it must not be from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, nor from Jiangxi, and the ministers from Jiangxi are also a bunch of Donglin ministers.

In this way, Ma Shiying is the best choice.

"It's scary to be old!"

Ma Shiying hurriedly said.

"Yao Caogong doesn't need to be polite, I like talented people the most, and gold will always shine when I am here, just like them!"

Yang Qing pointed to Yan Yingyuan, who was already walking away.

"No matter what his background is, whether he is from a Jinshi or not, no matter what he has done before, as long as he has talent, then I will give him a suitable position. What if you don't come from a Jinshi background? Now these scholars, one by one, are staring at the eight strands, all of them can only talk about some big truths, but there is almost no practical ability, such a person is the head of a county, that is to harm the local people. Not to mention that they only know how to be greedy for money and bribes, even if they are all as honest as water, how can they benefit the people? That's why I have to change the imperial examination, local officials must know how to do practical work, and the Bagu essay is written with great flowers, and if there is no practical talent, it must be given to those who know how to do it. ”

He continued.

Ma Shiying nodded knowingly.

Of course, they are all thousand-year-old foxes, and they don't take the literal meaning as the real meaning.

Yang Qing actually told him that first of all, he had to be loyal to Marquis Yang, and then Marquis Yang would let him be the first assistant, and secondly, we had to train our own local officials, and those Bagu Wenjinshi couldn't do it, because the major academies in Jiangsu and Zhejiang specialized in the study of Bagu Wen, and if you want to do well in Bagu Wen, you must be taught by these academies.

Since this is the case, then support those who do not do well in the eight-strand essay exam.

The slogan is hard work.

This is actually a struggle between two standards, one is based on the text, the other is based on hard work, the former is the officialdom vested interests, then those who are immersed in the subordinates, and who can never get ahead in the eight strands, will naturally fall to Yang Qing. In the end, in this way, Yang Qing won the approval of the low-level scholars and then realized the reversal of the civil officials, which was Yang Qinggan's strategy to overturn the Donglin Party to control the civilian bureaucratic system. Before, he divided military power and civil power with the Donglin Party, but now Yang Qing wants to get involved in civil power and really seize power, so he must take this shortcut.

And to promote him is actually to be a vicious dog responsible for biting the civilian system of the Donglin Party.

Ma Shiying doesn't care about being a dog.

Being a dog is not a big deal, who in officialdom is not being a dog? Theoretically, it's all dogs, as long as you can follow the right master, and the treacherous and cunning, who has been in the officialdom for 20 years, undoubtedly knows very well that the most suitable person to be the master at this time is the ...... in front of him

"Loyal and brave marquis, Xiong Wenju has taken a lot of bribes in the Ministry of Meritorious Examinations."

He said.

"Do you have enough materials?"

Yang Qing asked.

Xiong Xuetang, the squire of the Qing Dynasty and the Ministry of War, has not been promoted recently, and at the beginning of Nandu, he was the Jixun Shilangzhong, and it was only now that he changed to the meritorious department, that is, the performance appraisal of officials in charge. There are four divisions under the Ministry of Officials, the Department of Literature and Anthology assigns positions, the Department of Inspection and Sealing is awarded the title of knight and pension and is in charge of the Tusi, the examination and management of the assessment, the audit department is in charge of the position, the system, the pension and the like, the four divisions are all weighted, Lang Zhong This official does not sound particularly important, but in fact it is second only to the squire, and it is all the real power figures of the ministries.

Xiong Wenju was the main opponent of the promotion of these non-Jinshi Zuo II officials.

After all, he is in charge of the assessment.

Even he has completed another list to fill the vacancies, and on his list, Shangyuan County is known to be Lu Gong, but Ma Shiying was forced to change it to Yan Yingyuan as a scholar.

Of course, this Lu Gong doesn't know yet.

If you want to know, it is estimated that you should have cursed Ma Shiying with the villain.

"There are some, but not enough detail!"

Ma Shiying said frankly.

"Give it to me, the brocade guard will make it detailed."

Yang Qing said.

Ma Shiying smiled and nodded.

In this way, you can make an example, as long as it is in the hands of Jinyiwei, then Xiong Wenju will not want to come out again, and this is not what he reported, this is Jinyiwei was involved in another case when he was a supervising official. Jin Yiwei has the right to report the corruption cases of these officials to the prison state, theoretically this kind of case does not need to be under the jurisdiction of Jin Yiwei, but at least under the current judicial system of the Ming Dynasty, the prison state can be tried by the three divisions of the Dali Temple Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Criminal Department, or it can be tried by Jinyiwei himself. In short, there is no procedural problem, and then the corruption case is in Huang Duanbo, a neutral criminal department, there is basically no non-signing sticker, especially Xiong Wenju and he are both from Jiangxi, this kind of person who is somewhat morally clean will be even more ruthless.

And then all that's left is the wolf's den.

In short, Xiong Wenju is done.

"In addition, there are quite a few of his comrades!"

Ma Shiying mends the knife.

"A third?"

Yang Qing said.

"A quarter, huh?"

Ma Shiying hesitated and said.

"Depending on you, a quarter is a quarter!"

Yang Qing said.

In this way, a quarter of the civil officials of the Ministry of Officials were suddenly pushed into the wolf's den by their Shangshu.

"Yaocao Gong is really a pillar of my Ming Dynasty!"

Yang Qing said with emotion.
