Text Chapter 783 Falling into the Well
Zhu Hongsan saw that the people in the Qianqing Palace did not object, and said to Yao Qisheng: "Xizhi, your military aircraft department will form a holy decree on Qian Yiai's opinions, and then send it to the northern provinces, starting today, grain, salt, sugar, steel, and coal will be open to the provinces north of the Yangtze River, and the proportion will be set at 40% first!" Right! Add the deposit and exchange of the bank! Only then did Zhu Hongsan remember that Ma Mingyuan's industry had not been moved, so the money village was also open to the northern provinces.
Zhu Hongsan's holy decree had a very far-reaching impact on later generations, and the emperors of later dynasties followed this decree in the economic division between the north and the south, with the north accounting for four and the south accounting for six. At the same time, the issuance of this holy decree allowed Zhu Hongsan to completely win the support of the northern scholars, who had been watching the tens of millions of dollars earned by the rich landowners in the south for seven or eight years, and now it was finally their turn, could they not fully support Zhu Hongsan? As for the question of Zhu Hongsan's origin and bloodline, it is no longer a problem at all in the face of real interests.
It is not the slightest benefit to Qian Yiai personally, and the Donglin Party is different from the Chu Party and the Zhejiang Party, and it is not a local force. The Donglin Party is a political group with ideals and aspirations, of which the literati of the southern Zhili account for the majority, but there are also many literati in the north. That Hou Sui is from Henan, and the facts have proved that the Hou family also shared a lot of benefits afterwards. Therefore, Qian Yiai's plan made him win the praise of Shilin, what Shilin's Rising Star, Future Shoufu and other titles, but he wore it on Qian Yiai's head.
As the emperor, Zhu Hongsan was the one who benefited the most, in addition to gaining the support of the northern scholars, he also cracked down on the Huguang group, which was too big to fall, and at the same time deepened the estrangement between the Chu party and the Donglin party, so that Qian Yiai and Ma Mingyuan could no longer join hands, which was of great benefit to splitting the courtiers.
Of course, this holy decree is not without side effects, in the past, the Chu Party and the Donglin Party still had some affection, after all, the Chinese are the most particular about face, as long as they do not hold your child and jump into the well, they can also greet each other in a friendly manner. But as soon as Qian Yiai's bullshit idea came out, the relationship between the Donglin Party and the Chu Party was immediately forced to death, and there was no possibility of maneuvering.
But Zhu Hongsan didn't pay attention to this side effect at all, Zhu Hongsan's creed is mine is mine, yours is still mine! It's good that I didn't rob you!
Zhu Hongsan was very satisfied with Qian Yiai's suggestion, and said with a smile: "Zigao, what you said is very good, I am very satisfied!" Is there any interesting story about me leaving Nanjing for so long? Tell me about making me happy! ”
Zhu Hongsan originally meant just to make small talk, but when Qian Yiai heard the emperor say this, he knew that the opportunity to fall into the well had come.
"Your Majesty, the news of your expulsion of the Tartars and the Zhongxing Ming Dynasty reached Nanjing, and the whole Nanjing was boiling, and every family set up an immortal tablet for Your Majesty, and everyone said that Your Majesty ended this troubled era, which is really a meritorious achievement!"
Zhu Hongsan was very proud when he heard Qian Yuai say this, in fact, it is no wonder that Zhu Hongsan is proud, this matter is indeed very good, and the one who can compare with Zhu Hongsan in history is Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.
"What do the officials in Nanjing say?" Zhu Hongsan also wanted to ask the civil officials about their reactions.
"Your Majesty, all the officials in Nanjing rejoiced and praised Your Majesty's sanctity in unison, but there was something wrong with Ma Shoufu!"
"Oh? What did Ma Mingyuan say? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Shoufu didn't say anything, but Shoufu had disdain when other civil officials celebrated!"
Qian Yiai's words were very clever, if Ma Mingyuan said to his face what the emperor was, Zhu Hongsan didn't believe that Ma Mingyuan had such courage. But this aspect is subtle if there is disdain, it can be to look down on the emperor, or it can be to look down on the Northern Expedition, it all depends on people's imagination.
In fact, Qian Yiai didn't deliberately smear Ma Mingyuan when he said this, Ma Mingyuan really didn't think much of himself, the emperor's brother-in-law.
Zhu Hongsan was furious when he heard Qian Yiai say this, this is like a person who is bragging, but the next moment he was slapped in the face by a person next to him, which is really insulting. Zhu Hongsan believed what Qian Yiai said, because Zhu Hongsan knew that Ma Mingyuan thought so.
In Ma Mingyuan's heart, everything Zhu Hongsan has achieved is the credit of the Ma family, without the Ma family, can you Zhu Hongsan pull up the team in Wuchang? Without the Ma family, can you Zhu Hongsan find a suitable civil service team? Without the Ma family, can you Zhu Hongsan escape to Guangdong safely? So Zhu Hongsan's victory is actually the victory of the Ma family. This is exactly what Ma Mingyuan thinks in his heart, and it is not Qian Yiai who framed him.
After listening to Qian Yiai's words, Zhu Hongsan's handsome face seemed to appear in front of him, and he was looking at himself with disdain, and said in his mouth: You are a waste, if it weren't for our Ma family, you would have died in Wuchang a long time ago!
The more Zhu Hongsan thought about it, the more angry he became, his fat face was snow-white, and Li Chengen on the side saw that the emperor was about to commit heart palpitations, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his chest and pat his back, and at the same time picked up the water cup on the table and waited for Zhu Hongsan to drink water. This teacup is not ordinary tea, but ginkgo biloba. Zhu Hongsan knew that his blood pressure was high and he was prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, so according to the experience of later generations, he found ginkgo biloba leaves to soak in water.
Under Li Chengen's pat, Zhu Hongsan easily relieved this breath, and Chen Mingxia below saw that the opportunity was coming, and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there is an excerpt from the Nanjing cabinet here!" ”
Li Chengen saw that Chen Mingxia was still making trouble here, and said, "Lord Chen, didn't you see that the emperor is not in good health?" I'll talk about it tomorrow! ”
Zhu Hongsan shook his hand and said, "No, I'm not that fragile." Chen Mingxia, read it! ”
Chen Mingxia was overjoyed, and hurriedly opened the excerpt of the Nanjing cabinet and read it in the Qianqing Palace.
The excerpt is very short, and the content is also very clear, that is, the cabinet feels that the Military Aircraft Department cannot order the cabinet, so the holy decree of His Majesty will be returned, and if His Majesty still wants the cabinet to go to Beijing, please issue it in the format of a formal holy decree.
Yao Qisheng is the chief military aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department, and the butt decides the head, although Yao Qisheng does not want to get involved in the party dispute between the Chu Party and the Donglin Party, but now the cabinet scolds the door, saying that your military aircraft department is not bullshit. At this time, Yao Qisheng, the leader of the Military Aircraft Department, did not speak again, and no one in the Military Aircraft Department listened to him in the future.
Yao Qisheng stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the cabinet is very disrespectful, no matter where the holy decree is issued, it is the holy order of Your Majesty, and the cabinet clearly does not take Your Majesty in its eyes!" ”
Yao Qisheng and Chen Mingxia scolded the cabinet here, but Zhu Hongsan didn't listen to what they said. Zhu Hongsan has now calmed down and carefully calculated the cause and effect of the matter.
Although this excerpt was issued in the name of the cabinet, Zhu Hongsan knew that this was actually what Ma Mingyuan meant. If the cabinet is forced, Ma Mingyuan will be solved, although Ma Mingyuan is just a relatively big ant, Zhu Hongsan can kill him with one hand, but what will he do after he is killed?
Now that the country is in ruins, it is time to employ people, and at the same time, the Jiangnan New Deal is also being implemented in an orderly manner. Zhu Hong's three families relied on the Jing Chu Shiren group, so this first assistant must be selected from the Chu Party, to put it bluntly, among his four major strategists.
Is it okay for Ma Mingyuan to go down to Feng for his own use? Feng Lao Er is just an administrative bureaucrat, let him follow orders and work, but as a big steward to manage such a big country, it is definitely not good.
Tong Yangjia's ability and means are sufficient, but Tong Yangjia and Donglin Party Qian Qianyi are not clear, and they are also vague about the new policy, so Tong Yangjia is not good. As for the retired Ma Jiyuan, he is an absolute opponent of the New Deal, so it is really difficult to choose the successor of Ma Mingyuan's resignation.
In addition to these four strategists, there are still several seedlings in the second echelon, such as Chen Zilong of the Ministry of Finance, and Zhang Jiayu, who is a political envoy in Henan, but these people are too shallow. Although Chen Zilong had contacts with Zhu Hongsan as early as Wuchang, he officially joined the revolutionary ranks during the Guangdong period, and now there are seven or eight people who are qualified to join the cabinet before Chen Zilong.
Zhang Jiayu is even more so, Chongzhen's sixteen-year jinshi, if according to the normal laws of officialdom, Zhang Jiayu should be just a prefect now, and it is precisely because of Zhu Hongsan's exceptional promotion of Zhang Jiayu that he can become a provincial official, and let him enter the cabinet and cannot serve the public.
Zhu Hongsan thought about it and didn't expect a good candidate to replace Ma Mingyuan, so he had no choice but to use this Ma Mingyuan again.
Zhu Hongsan thought in his heart: Your mother's second horse, Lao Tzu is putting up with you once, and next time Lao Tzu would rather not do the new deal, he will kill you!
Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and said to Yao Qisheng: "Since the cabinet does not agree, then use the jade seal to make a holy decree!" ”
Qian Yiai originally saw that the emperor's face was white with anger, and then turned red again, and originally thought that Ma Mingyuan must be unlucky this time. But within a few minutes, things took a big turn, and the emperor relented.
According to Qian Yiai's understanding of the emperor, this is impossible, Zhu Hongsan has always paid attention to retribution, where he can swallow this breath. Qian Yiai was about to stand up and speak, but Chen Mingxia, who was beside him, pulled him up the sleeve of his robe and signaled him not to speak.
Zhu Hongsan had an order, Yao Qisheng and Chen Mingxia hurriedly received the decree, and then went down to prepare to send another decree to the cabinet in the name of the emperor.
Out of the Qianqing Palace, Qian Yiai asked in a low voice: "Lord Chen, is this matter settled?" ”
Chen Mingxia glanced at Yao Qisheng in front of him, pulled Qian Yiai back a few steps, and then said in a low voice: "Yes, that's it, the emperor already has a holy decree!" ”
"Lord Chen, but Ma Mingyuan didn't suffer any losses! The emperor also surrendered himself and agreed to his request, and we will be defeated in this matter! ”
Chen Mingxia sneered a few times in a low voice: "Brother Qian, you have been an official for a short time, we have done this very successfully, the emperor has already begun to hate Ma Mingyuan in his heart, as for when it will happen, it depends on Ma Mingyuan's Taoism!" ”
Qian Yiai suddenly realized when she heard Chen Mingxia say this, and knew that she was a little anxious. Things in officialdom are like boiling porridge, although you can't see anything on the surface, but as long as the fire doesn't stop, one day it will be boiled!
