In the yamen of the military department, Sun Yueling was still preoccupied, and his mind kept recalling what had happened in the past two days.
Under the pressure of the Donglin Party step by step, Wei Zhongxian finally did not calm down, this time the cane scolded Wan Liao, which was the first step for him to start a counterattack, and then I don't know what more crazy moves he will make.
But none of this matters, what matters is the attitude of the Apocalypse. Based on Sun Yueling's understanding of the Apocalypse, although this emperor is indulging in fun on the surface, deep down he is still very protective of the royal ruling power. There is nothing wrong with this, what emperor would be willing to be at the mercy of his courtiers and become a puppet-like existence, unless he is a complete fool.
But Apocalypse is obviously not a fool, not only is he not, he is also a very intelligent emperor, and he is the type of wise and foolish, which can be seen from his attitude towards himself several times.
This time, Donglin forced Tianlin to express his position, which will undoubtedly make Tianqi's enthusiasm for Donglin drop to the freezing point, as long as the last straw is pressed, Tianqi will definitely not be able to bear the anger brought by Donglin doing whatever he wants, so as to completely give up the Donglin Party.
Mu Wan was right that night, Ye Xianggao was the last lever to prevent the Apocalypse from giving up Donglin, and now, as long as this lever is ineffective, no one can save the disaster of Donglin's downfall.
Zhao Nanxing's main battle approach, from his heart, of course, disapproves, since he came to this dynasty, many of Donglin's governance shortcomings have been seen by him one by one, if Donglin wins this time, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will continue to end up without a problem; And Donglin was defeated, at least the terminally ill Daming in the next few years will get some respite and recovery because of this.
But Ye Xianggao's blind forbearance and retreat also made him feel worried. Of course, it is right to eliminate party strife, but without party strife, will it be smooth sailing for the Ming Dynasty? In all dynasties, which court has no party strife? Party struggle is not a poisonous weed that harms the world, and from a certain point of view, sometimes appropriate party struggle will promote social change and social development.
The key lies in whether the people in power care about the world and whether the policies formulated can bring prosperity to the world, rather than just letting the people of the whole world pay for him for the selfish interests of one party and the interests of a few.
This is the contradiction of politicians - only when they have the right to speak can they grasp the political power. And this right to speak is obtained by relying on party struggle, without the right to speak, no matter how many good ways you have to help the world, it is just a castle in the air, a flower moon in the water.
Over the years, as far as he knows, the bureaucratic class not only controls most of the social resources in their hands, but also they do not have to pay taxes, and even the commercial taxes are very low, resulting in the imperial court taxes are mainly dependent on agricultural taxes, and the farmers of the Ming Dynasty are now unbearable, and they try every means to change their identities to escape from the peasant status, and those who cannot do so take risks and embark on the road of rebellion against the Ming Dynasty.
Can he change the status quo?
Or further, can we change the entire Donglin Party and turn it into an organization that benefits the country and the people, rather than a group that gradually encroaches on the Ming court, so that the thinking of these officials and businessmen can be completely reversed, and they understand that without the Ming Dynasty, there would be no them; Without a state, where does the truth of the individual come from?
Just as he was meditating, he heard someone outside singing a promise loudly, shouting: "The holy decree has arrived, and Sun Yueling of the military department has received the decree." Then several of the inner guards walked in.
Sun Yueling was shocked, how could the will of the Son of Heaven come at this time?
He didn't dare to be sloppy, so he hurriedly dressed up his bullet suit, came to the center of the room, and stood solemnly. I saw a fat old eunuch walking towards him surrounded by several people, and a person next to him was holding a purple plate in his hand, which contained a scroll tied with red silk.
The fat old eunuch was about fifty years old, with thick eyebrows, and he looked a little kind, but the crisscrossed stripes of his cheeks and his piercing eyes let people know that he must have experienced a lot of ups and downs in the palace; He wears a black gauze crown hat, a unicorn purple robe, a rhino horn belt around the waist, and a foundation soap boot on his feet, looking extraordinary and imposing.
At this moment, the fat old eunuch was stunned, smiled at him, and said, "What? Our family came to deliver a message to Lord Sun, and Lord Sun didn't seem to be very happy? ”
As soon as Sun Yueling heard him open his mouth, his heart suddenly became vigilant, and he realized that he said loudly: "How can I ask Father-in-law Wei to come in person, it is really difficult for the lower officials to take responsibility." With that, he bowed and bowed, intending to listen to the will of the Son of Heaven.
He did not kneel, for he caught a glimpse of what was placed in the purple gold plate was not the regular decree of the yellow satin gold thread and the cabinet vote, but the central decree of the red silk bundle. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, there is no need to kneel to receive the decree, just bow and salute. However, it was this middle purpose that made him difficult and felt extremely entangled.
I only heard Wei Zhongxian say loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor, and the system says: Sun Yueling, the middle son of Langzhong of the Criminal Department, is handsome and rewarding, and has great merit, and he is my loyal minister." Specially promoted to Dali Temple Shaoqing, for my efforts to contribute, is Yu, admiration. ”
After Sun Yueling listened to the holy decree, he felt that his head was big and his heart was numb.
There is no doubt that such a level of holy decree must have come from the hand of the Apocalypse, otherwise it would not be unadorned, it would sound like a vernacular, and only the Emperor of the Apocalypse, who had not read much, could write such a powerful and vigorous holy decree.
However, since he came, he has an understanding of the current court law and officialdom habits, and the Ming Dynasty, especially in the middle and late periods, as civil officials and ministers, cannot accept the emperor's decree at will, because the decree does not enter the cabinet, does not go through procedures, and only represents the emperor's will, which is often not tolerated by the six ministries and nine secretaries of the cabinet. 【】
To accept the order at will, to a certain extent, it is against all the civil and civil forces in the court, and it is a taboo in the officialdom.
Wei Zhongxian looked at him and said with a smile: "Lord Sun, still don't accept the order?" ”
Sun Yueling's mind kept spinning rapidly, trying to figure out the situation in front of him. There is no doubt that this decree is to promote him and to his advantage. However, it did not come from the cabinet or inform the ministry, but the will drawn up by the Emperor of the Apocalypse himself.
Why did Apocalypse elevate him at this juncture?
Sun Yueling still didn't understand after thinking about it, could it be that just because he didn't participate in Donglin's impeachment of Wei Zhongxian, Tianqi looked at him differently and reminded the entire Donglin people in such a decisive way?
- This must have made him the target of public criticism, and he was obliterated by the gushing saliva.
While thinking quickly in his mind, he dealt with Wei Zhongxian, and said with a sneer: "Father-in-law Wei, this is the central purpose, the lower officials are terrified, and they are walking on thin ice...... Hey hey ......"
Wei Zhongxian squinted at him and said lightly: "What, Lord Sun wants to disobey the will of the Holy Lord?" ”
Looking at Wei Zhongxian's treacherous eyes, he suddenly understood in his heart that this must be Wei Zhongxian's provocation to make the apocalypse make this will.
However, what is Wei Zhongxian doing this for? Do you want to win him over Sun Yueling? Does that make sense? At this time, there was no need for his father-in-law Wei to lower his figure to win him over a mere fifth-grade official, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Wei, did the emperor say anything else about this will?" ”
Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly, and said with pity: "The emperor specially ordered, if Lord Sun refuses to accept the order, let our family live in Lord Sun's mansion, and the Dongchang Yamen will also move to Lord Sun's mansion to run errands." ”
Sun Yueling was shocked when he heard this, Apocalypse would say such a thing? I'm afraid this is Wei Zhongxian's own meaning. It's really unthinkable that in order to force him to accept the order, Wei Zhongxian didn't care about his identity, and did everything he could, and there was an implicit threat to him in his words.
Is this the purpose to be reconnected, or not to be accepted?
Wei Zhongxian was obviously a little impatient, and shouted, "Lord Sun, still don't accept the order? We still have a lot of things to deal with, and we can't stay here for long. He was actually a little annoyed in his heart, since he was promoted to the eunuch of Bingbi and the governor of Dongchang, he had never been so condescending, and the Sun Yueling in front of him was different from those high-ranking civil officials, and he was actually talking to him with a hippie smile.
Sun Yueling couldn't maneuver anymore, if he didn't accept this decree, there was no doubt that he would win a good reputation for integrity and courage in the Eastern Forest, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse would be very faceless, and even dislike him because of this. Moreover, the Emperor of the Apocalypse has always looked at him differently, and does not regard him as a group of Donglin officials who have been admonished to the end, if he really does not accept the order, I am afraid that in the heart of the Apocalypse, he will be no different from Yang Lian, Wan Liao and others from now on.
Wei Zhongxian really saw it very accurately, and killed his vein, in the current situation of the imperial court, he only had two choices, one was to accept the order and become an outlier in Donglin; The second is not to accept the order and become the opponent of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so that the Apocalypse can see his position thoroughly.
According to the development of the current situation, he who has no ability to change the status quo, thinks that it is better to leave a back road, even if Donglin is really destroyed, after this incident, he also has the capital to protect himself in the face of the apocalypse, so that he will not be very stiff at that time, and there is no room for rotation at all.
Didn't even Ye Xianggao keep telling him that if disaster was inevitable, he would definitely protect himself and stay in Qingshan?
So, knowing that Wei Zhongxian was uneasy and kind, he had no choice but to bow down again, raise his hands and say: "The minister Sun Yueling received the order, and my emperor was shengming." ”
Seeing him like this, Wei Zhongxian was open-minded, handed the holy decree to him, and said, "That's right, Lord Sun, congratulations." ”
Sun Yueling didn't smile and said: "Grandpa Wei Miao praises, I'm afraid that the lower officials will not be able to sleep and eat." ”
Wei Zhongxian laughed and said, "Since this is the case, then our family's mission has been completed, so we won't bother Lord Sun." He turned to the little eunuchs and said, "Let's go, go to the cabinet." ”
Sun Yueling bowed and said, "Father-in-law Wei walks slowly." ”
Wei Zhongxian took those disciples and grandchildren, and went away.
As soon as Wei Zhongxian left, Zhao Yan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Li Banghua, the right attendant, surrounded him, and Zhao Yan said very politely: "Lord Sun, congratulations to Gao Sheng, don't forget to ask the old man for tea in the future, since you came to the military department, we haven't had a good chat yet......
Sun Yueling smiled bitterly and was speechless, Zhao Yan was right, he had been in the military department for more than half a year, and he really hadn't communicated with Zhao Yan well, there had been too many things and too many things, and the two of them couldn't spare time.
Li Banghua sneered and said: "Master Sun is worthy of being a smart policeman, and he actually bothered Gonggong Wei to personally pass on the decree, and now you have the right to support the eunuchs, and he will be able to rise to the top one day." ”
Sun Yueling couldn't hear Li Banghua's mockery, but now he couldn't explain anything, so he could only smile bitterly.
Seeing that he was speechless, Li Banghua snorted heavily, and walked away like this, as if his Sun Yueling had betrayed Donglin and was no longer a comrade-in-arms.
On the morning of this day, no more officials came to him, and even the chief of his subordinates hid him like a snake and scorpion, and he sat on a cold bench in the yamen of the military department for a whole morning.
finally got to hurry up, but when he saw Xu Yuqing and Xue Wenzhou coming together, as soon as he entered the public house, Xue Wenzhou split his face and said, "Why are you so cowardly? Why do you want to accept the emperor's decree? Why do you want to be with Wei Gelding? ”
This series of questions made him a little confused, and he stood up and explained: "Daoying, I can't help it......"
"Don't call me." Xue Wenzhou was furious, pointed at him and shouted, "Although Xue Wenzhou is not talented, he also knows loyalty, righteousness, etiquette and faith, but in order to be promoted, your Sun Yueling actually flattered the saint and took refuge in the eunuch, you are a selfish and narrow-minded wallgrass, and you are not worthy of being a scholar......
Xu Yuqing saw that he was too direct, so he hurriedly pulled his sleeve and interjected: "Lord Sun, no matter what you think, but I want to tell you that your acceptance of the decree has undoubtedly made all the civil servants in the court have prejudices against you. How can you meet people when you do this? He laughed out loud and said, "In vain, I always thought that you were a direct minister with the world in mind, and it turned out that you would also cling to the eunuchs and disregard morality and ......."
"I didn't take refuge in the eunuch!" Sun Yueling looked at them and said word by word, "I know it's hard for me to explain to you, but please believe me, I, Sun Yueling, am not a villain who tends to be inflammatory, I also have my own hardships, and everything I do is for the future of all of us." ”
"Don't pretend to be an orangutan." Xue Wen flicked the sleeves of his robe on Monday and threw down a sentence, "From now on, I, Xue Daoying, have severed relations with your Sun Yueling, and there will be no more relationship." With that, he rushed out of the room.
"Doying?" Xu Yuqing couldn't catch up, and turned back to Sun Yueling and said, "Lord Sun, you are so self-conscious!" After speaking, he also followed Xue Wenzhou.
Sun Yueling stood in the room, stunned and watched them leave angrily like this, and seemed to be stupid for a while.
At this moment, Xue Wenzhou and Xu Yuqing's family couldn't understand what he was thinking at all, and he couldn't explain it to the two, so he could only keep this matter alone in his heart.
After a while, he sighed and muttered, "One day, you will understand my painstaking efforts." (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
