Qian Qianyi, who had always behaved mildly, listened to Qu Shiyun's words, and suddenly his face was red and his ears were red, and he slammed the square table in front of him, almost knocking over the tea cup on the table.

The sound of the tea cup hitting the table was very loud, and the two servants who were serving in the hall subconsciously turned their heads to look at the hall, and when they saw their old man's anger, the two quickly turned their heads and acted as if they had not heard anything.

At this time, Qian Qianyi in the hall had already said angrily: "They are all shameless villains, I have worked hard day and night, don't I just hope to be able to shield the comrades of the party from the wind and rain, and expand the influence of the party in the court, so that we can complete the purpose formulated when the party was founded.

I haven't stepped down yet, and they can't wait to hold me back? What kind of decent men and gentlemen are these? It's all villains..."

Qu Shiyun is also understandable about the teacher's anger, although he does not think that the teacher's move to bypass the vote of the party comrades and directly designate himself as the party's first and auxiliary candidate is correct. But as the beneficiary of this initiative, at this moment he can only choose to be silent, looking at his nose and nose, and listening in a posture of sitting upright.

As a veteran celebrity, Qian Qianyi naturally can't learn to be a rogue in the market and scold the street, so his scolding words are also good, just using the words villain and shameless over and over again, so without the persuasion of others, Qian Qianyi has already scolded himself to calm down.

When he sat back in his seat, Fang Cai asked Qu Shiyun angrily, "Jiaxuan, do you know who they want to nominate as the first assistant of the cabinet?" ”

Qu Shiyun, who was feeling a little bored, immediately looked at him and replied: "Teacher Hui, it seems that they have not completely decided on the specific candidates, but Jiang Zhongbao's recent reputation is very good in the party, and he is also good friends with Chen Zizhuang, Ni Yuanlu, Gu Xichou, Wen Anzhi and others. The students thought that it was still very possible for Ni Yuanlu, Huang Daozhou and others to support him. ”

Qian Qianyi also frowned when he heard Jiang Dejing's name, Jiang Dejing is also a relatively independent hill in the New Donglin Party, he is opposed to restricting the annexation of large households, and he is also a party representative who advocates reducing taxes to support the people. It should be said that this opinion is also the mainstream concept of the members of the New Donglin Party.

However, although this concept catered to the ideas of most of the members of the New Donglin Party, who were born in the families of large landlords, it was not approved by the emperor. Qian Qianyi and Qu Shiyun did not dislike this concept of safeguarding their own interests, but they knew very well that if they advocated supporting land annexation and unconditional tax cuts, then the emperor would not have allowed the New Donglin Party to come to power at all.

Therefore, in order to gain the approval of the emperor and to enable the New Donglin Party to gain the power to govern and form a cabinet, Qian Qianyi and other key members of the New Donglin Party naturally had to resolutely oppose the erroneous ideas advocated by Jiang Dejing and others. Today, it is no longer a question of whether they can support land annexation, unconditional tax cuts, and other ways to safeguard the interests of the big landlord class, but a question of Qian Qianyi's inability to accept that the leadership of the new Donglin Party, which he had worked so hard to create, was stolen by Jiang Dejing and others.

Yes, as a member of the big landlords and bureaucrats, since Qian Qianyi is about to retire from the position of first assistant, it is the most suitable way to safeguard his own interests by changing his political philosophy and choosing to support the political ideas put forward by Jiang Dejing and others. However, in this way, Qian Qianyi will completely lose his ability to control the new Donglin Party group, and those who oppose land annexation and unconditional tax cuts will abandon him as his political philosophy changes, so Qian Qianyi will lose the political basis for returning to the center.

This is intolerable for Qian Qianyi, and it is also unacceptable for his student and political ally Qu Shiyun, after all, the other party supports his purpose, and also hopes to use the political foundation of the New Donglin Party to climb to the highest peak of Ming politics, so as to realize his political ambitions.

If Qian Qianyi took off the chain at this critical juncture, wouldn't he have assisted Qian Qianyi for so many years in vain. Therefore, no matter how much Qu Shiyun praises the character of Jiang Dejing, Ni Yuanlu and others on weekdays, he will not be able to give up his political interests at this moment.

Although the teachers and students have their own ambitions in this matter, they all have the same aspirations for the movements shown by Jiang Dejing, Ni Yuanlu and others, that is, to suppress them mercilessly.

Qian Qianyi quickly softened his brows, and said with a sneer: "Jiang Zhongbao has indeed done some things in water conservancy construction and industrial development near Gyeonggi over the years, but as long as he continues to support the political concepts of land annexation and unconditional tax reduction to safeguard the interests of the gentry and landlords, then Your Majesty will not elect him."

However, if you leave it alone, he may seize your opportunity to become the party's first and auxiliary candidate, after all, there are really many party members who support him. ”

Qu Shiyun also nodded thoughtfully: "Actually, if Jiang Zhongbao is alone, it is easy to deal with." But Ni Yuanlu and Huang Daozhou, who were standing behind him, not only had a good family background, but also had a wide range of friends. ”

Qian Qianyi thought quietly for a long time before he spoke: "In this case, it is better to make a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and drive these two people out of Beijing as soon as possible, so that we will have a lot less pressure in the party." ”

Qu Shiyun subconsciously looked up at Qian Qianyi, and asked with some surprise, "How does the teacher plan to drive these two people out of Beijing?" ”

Qian Qianyi pondered for a moment and said: "Since the Ryukyu Kingdom submitted a request for publication to our country, I have been writing to the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court can send people to Ryukyu to reform the Ryukyu state system in accordance with the Chinese official system, so that Ryukyu can truly become one of China's counties, instead of entrusting the East China Sea Patrol Office to trusteeship as it is now, so that they can feel like overseas remnants."

Your Majesty had already discussed with me that the Ryukyus should be designated as an overseas province of China, higher than the two islands of Taiwan and Jeju, and that a governor should be appointed to administer the entire territory of the Ryukyus, and that he would also serve as the prince of the Ryukyus, so as to teach and regulate the etiquette of the Ryukyu domain. It was only last year that there was a great famine in the country, so this matter was shelved.

Now that the disaster relief affairs have come to an end, it is better to suggest to His Majesty that Ni Yuanlu be assigned to Ryukyu. He was immediately sent south from Shanghai to the Ryukyus, just in time for trouble.

In addition, Fu Zonglong, the governor of Sichuan, was sick due to old age and infirmity, and I think Huang Daozhou's qualifications are very suitable for this position, so that the two of them will not be able to stay in Beijing. ”

Qu Shilan paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal, and quietly mentioned to Qian Qianyi: "Ryukyu is far away from China, and no one will fight for the position of governor." However, the position of governor of Sichuan may not be assigned by us, right? ”

After Qian Qianyi stretched out his hand and stroked his beard, he said confidently: "There is more than one Sichuan governor who can vacate this year, Guo Yunhou of the household department is also about to retire, plus the positions vacated by Ni Yuanlu and Huang Daozhou, plus my position as the first assistant who will be vacated, there will not be many people who will jump out." ”

Qu Shiyun looked down at the files in his hand, and couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "In this case, the teacher might as well hand over these files to Jiang Zhongbao to deal with."

As a member of the Cabinet, he was also the main candidate for the implementation of disaster relief last year, and it is only right for him to investigate and deal with these corrupt officials who have been involved in the disaster relief.

If he had been fair and honest, those who had supported him might have to change their minds. If he covers up, the teacher can also take advantage of the situation to beat one or two to make him retreat. In this way, everyone will not hurt their face, I don't know what the teacher thinks? ”

Qian Qianyi glanced at his protégé, and was quite helpless in his heart, Qu Shiyun's idea was indeed good, but there was a prerequisite, that is, His Majesty did not pay attention to this matter. Under His Majesty's attention, if Jiang Dejing is playing favoritism, it is not a matter of retreating.

But the matter has come to this point, and he can't think of a better way to make Jiang Dejing top the cylinder. can force Jiang Dejing to come out, at least it can reduce a lot of pressure on him, even if the other party retreats and he takes it again, it is convenient for him to see the situation clearly.

After thinking about it again and again, Qian Qianyi nodded decisively and said: "Then do it, these days I will communicate with Your Majesty and the officials first, and when the government is opened after the Lantern Festival, I will give them a surprise attack." You have also contacted other people in the party in the past few days to see if Ni Yuanlu and them have any specific plans. ”

"Teachers rest assured, students understand." Qu Shiyun immediately put down the file in his hand and got up to say goodbye to Qian Qianyi. At this time, Qian Qianyi, who sent his protégé out of the door, finally had some confidence in his heart.

This New Year's holiday is too fast for some people, and too slow for others. For example, for the clans who were ordered to travel overseas, they felt that they were not ready, and the Lantern Festival had already passed, and then the palace began to urge them to go on the road.

When these clan members walked out of Chaoyangmen with their faces drooped and boarded the train to Tianjin, almost none of them could be happy. Some people thought that they were dragged down by King Yangqu, while some of the more sensible realized that their expulsion from the capital might have something to do with Wang Hanru's case. After all, several of the clans that were most active in this case were now thrown into the group that went to sea.

Of course, for the people and officials in the capital who have not yet recovered from the New Year's holiday, the departure of these clans did not make them realize anything. On the contrary, some people are happy that there are a few less street overlords in Beijing, and they can finally have a peaceful birthday in a few days.
