Chapter 160: Shousuke
Yang Hao's heart was unbearable, but this time it was to discuss the military plane, not to swear to enter the army, if he could use to shake the army's heart to reprimand Zhang Quan, but at this time he was helpless, so he had to say coldly: "This official knows, Deputy Envoy Zhang and retreat." ”
Zhang Quan said: "If the supervisor does not agree with what the lower official said, the lower official will be the emperor, and the details will be clear." ”
Yang Hao sneered and said, "Listen to me." ”
After returning to the back hall, Yang Hao's anger in his heart did not subside, several staff members stepped forward to persuade him, Zhang Quan's performance was also boring, the emperor and the cabinet and the soldiers would not pay attention to it, but they were ugly, Yang Hao shook his head and said: "The official is not angry about this......"
He paused for a moment and didn't explain his thoughts, in fact, he was not angry that Zhang Quan didn't give him face or had too many things, what he was really angry about was just that he was afraid of being said by Zhang Quan.
However, this terrible idea Yang Hao didn't want to think about it, he had already asked his staff to write a good song, and wrote a book to Fang Congzhe, saying that he was about to enter the army, he knew that the food and salary prepared in Liaoyang and Shenyang were not much, if it was delayed, the financial pressure on the center would be greater and greater, from the emperor to the first assistant would not have a good impression of himself, the most terrible thing was the group attack of the imperial historians, Yang Hao's rear and Taiwan was Fang Congzhe, and the army was Fang Congzhe's proposition. Yang Hao because of the presiding army to restrain the Ming army not to harass the place, although he is the commander of the defeated army, but won the respect of the court, Xian Junchen, in addition Yang Hao has always had the reputation of doing fine things, small things are never confused, after the recovery of the conscientious and conscientious did a lot of things, got Fang Congzhe's appreciation, he also said some difficulties in the book, but the other party Congzhe did not have much hope of changing his opinion, thinking of this, he sighed, and said to his Shuqi staff: "The letter to Lord Shoufu, send it tonight, I will not revise it anymore!" ”
……
Yang Hao's private message and the fold were sent together, before noon, the Xingyuan sent a general officer with two escorts, three horses out of Shenyang City, galloping along the post station from the main road, the general body was burdened, knowing that the military aircraft was important, he did not dare to delay all the way, only in the post station with a fire card for horses, from Shenyang Zhongwei to the Beijing Division is a total of fifteen post stations, the distance between them is roughly the same, the road situation is also very good, each post station has eighty horses and sufficient bean grain according to the regulations, although it is slightly insufficient with the regulations, But changing horses along the way is not a problem, every time you go to a post station, this general manager will tell the people in the hall to hurry up to prepare a new horse, he and his subordinates only drink some hot water at the post station, and gnaw on dry food in the kung fu of changing horses, Yi Cheng knows that it is the people sent by the superintendent and do not dare to make a mistake, so that he keeps galloping to the Beijing Division, and after nightfall, he has to drive with torches for a while, and he gets up before dawn, even so, it took two and a half days to wait for the general to rush to the Beijing Division.
When he saw the majestic gray city wall, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then passed through the Dongbian Gate, then entered the Chongwen Gate, and went directly from Tianjie to the Tongzheng Division to send Yang Hao's recital, and then went down to the rice vinegar alley in Dongcheng, and rushed to the first auxiliary party to deliver Yang Hao's book from Zhe's house.
The prime minister's door in front of the seven officials, the door of the prime minister's mansion is naturally very difficult to enter, fortunately, the general has been here a few times, the door of the government knows that it is from Liaodong, the military situation is urgent, the prime minister is very concerned about Liao, no more than other places can be embarrassed, or ask him to do it and wait to take it, more than a dozen provinces in the Ming Dynasty, there are all kinds of strange things, the governor or governor, or the prefect, who can have a relationship with Fang Congzhe, will write a private letter to say something, of course, things will be divided into three, six, nine, etc., the current thing is the most urgent kind.
The doorman said kindly: "Go to the gatehouse to rest, I will ask someone to boil some hot water for you and get some hot food to eat." ”
Thank you for the total fight, he is a six-grade martial artist, but in front of the first assistant's door government, he is useless, and people can have such kindness, but they really have to thank him.
"Little Qi'er." Men Zheng really ordered: "Get some food for the guests to eat, hurry up, the old man may want to see him in a while." ”
"Don't worry." A sixteen or seventeen-year-old clever boy smiled and said, "I can't make a mistake." ”
"Don't be flamboyant."
The door government scolded with a smile, but he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly took the damp letter soaked in sweat and went inside.
Just after noon, Fang Congzhe had already returned home from the cabinet.
If it was before Emperor Wuzong, this would never be possible!
A hundred years ago, the cabinet was very busy, it was not dark in the morning to enter the palace, the cabinet scholars were in front of everyone, including the princes, after the early dynasty, and then to the cabinet to do things, write votes, and wait for the emperor or the celebrant to approve the red reply, and then according to the approval of the red to hand over the office affairs, more than a dozen provinces over the border of thousands of miles, including Mongolia, Jurchen, as well as the southwest Yi, the sea and the frontier, the internal affairs, the border military and politics, all kinds of things are presided over by a few scholars in the cabinet, and then handed over to the six ministries and local governors.
In Zhang Juzheng's era, he began to handle official business in his private residence, and rarely went through formal procedures, all of which were written by the governor appointed by Zhang Juzheng to write private letters, and Zhang Juzheng replied with private messages, so as to bypass the cabinet colleagues and celebrants, less rampling, more work, this is Zhang Juzheng's life creed, but this way of doing things also gives people a reason to attack Zhang Juzheng's arbitrary power, at least the cabinet is privately called the prime minister, in essence, it is just the emperor's private secretary, and the cabinet scholars do not have the power to control the six departments, but after countless times of ridicule in the imperial court, Cabinet scholars can concurrently serve as scholars, at least nominally have the power to manage, Zhang Juzheng even bypassed this layer of relationship, his administrative efficiency is of course terrible, ten years have done countless things, but after Zhang Juzheng was liquidated by Wanli, whether it is Zhang Siwei or Shen Shixing is advocating the return of power to the Lord, that is, to return the power snatched by the cabinet in the era of Zhang Juzheng, they hope to restore the Son of Heaven to govern affairs, and the model of scholars assisting from the side, rather than Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's monopoly of power.
But after fifteen years of Wanli, the emperor began to fight with the ministers, slack government affairs, the early dynasty has been abandoned for many years, there is no such thing as a court meeting, the afternoon dynasty was also canceled, and the emperor did not summon the minister to ask about government affairs, not to mention those small ministers, that is, many of the six officials have not seen what the emperor looks like from beginning to end, and there are many people, and some scholars have not seen the emperor from the beginning to the end of office, which is simply a shocking thing in the Ming Dynasty, but Wanli is to do it.
The book is often not approved, and Wanli chooses to use the method of "staying in the middle" for things that are not in line with his wishes, that is, the emperor does not agree, nor oppose, nor does he put forward opinions, so he just leaves there and "drowns" the music.
Even except for a few well-known letters, the emperor almost ignored the insults to himself, and "stayed" as usual.
Many descendants say that Wanli ignores government affairs in the deep palace, the Ming Dynasty operates normally, the southeast is still very prosperous, the price is not high, except for the three major expeditions, the world is peaceful, indicating that Wanli's control is high.
In fact, Wanli is only doing one thing right: the cabinet must maintain normal operation.
In addition, the emperor was concerned about military affairs, that is, things that threatened the Ming Dynasty and his imperial power, and he did not bother to ask about it at all.
In this case, coupled with the absence of the early dynasty, Fang Congzhe's daily stay in the cabinet has become very short, as Zhang Juzheng did in the year, many things Fang Congzhe can only solve in his private residence, and through abnormal channels.
The people of the time also understood Fang Congzhe's hardships, the so-called painstaking efforts, but that's it.
When the door was in the small study of the inner house, Fang Congzhe was also talking to the housekeeper in the house, the housekeeper was standing, and there was a young man standing in front of the window, with a timid expression on his face, Fang Congzhe's right hand sat a middle-aged gentleman about forty years old, this is Zhu Dadian, the rising star of the Zhejiang Party, he has just been transferred from the local to the Beijing Division, the court may call him to enter the Imperial Court, or he is in the middle of the matter, no matter what position, it is a shortcut to the south, Zhu Dadian will definitely not be able to enter the cabinet in the future, But he is also likely to be the official of the six ministries or the governor and governor, because he has a good official reputation, good ability, and outstanding appearance and conversation, and he is already the backbone of the Zhejiang Party, and such an official is destined to be promoted.
Zhu Dadian was wearing a half-old blue brocade robe, with purple silk threads tied around his waist, and a azure tribute satin folded scarf on his head, which was decorated with a piece of green jade as blue as water, and the expression on his face was very calm.
Fang Congzhe wore a cyan Tang scarf on his head, and was not decorated with jade, but he was wearing a azure robe, with a rhino horn belt around his waist, and the dress on his body was also the home clothes of ordinary scholars, but he had been an official for many years, and he was determined when he was young, and now he is the first assistant who dominates the world, and he has a majestic bearing that is difficult for ordinary people to achieve, he has a fair complexion, his face is very thin, and his beard is very long, but it is not heavy, and it is not at all the kind of bearded hair that Zhang Juzheng had back then, which makes Fang Congzhe's temperament appear elegant, even if there is something difficult, he probably laughs it off, and his years of career as the first assistant make him unfazed...... It's just that what is in front of you is a notable exception.
"Evil beasts are messing around, damn it, damn it!"
Fang Congzhe's face turned blue, and the door government came in at this time and was listening to it sincerely, and he still dared to speak at the moment, and stood quietly sideways, planning to wait for Xiangye to send this fire over.
The one who was scolded was Fang Congzhe's eldest son Fang Shihong, like all the sons of the Shoufu family, he was an out-and-out standard gentleman, there was a shadow official of Shangbao Bureau, who usually only knew how to go to Zhangtai, drunk and prostituted, because of Fang Congzhe's power and power, no one dared to provoke him, even if he had a small mistake, he also helped him cover up, Fang Congzhe was busy with state affairs, this son had already become an adult, and he had already married a wife and had children, so he naturally couldn't control too much.
