Chapter 659: The Battle for the Chin Cha
Wang Xijue looked at the two ministers who were speechless, and couldn't help but be a little speechless, and the ministers looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, and they were enthusiastic and happy to watch the excitement next to them...... It has nothing to do with them anyway.
It stands to reason that this time to go to the southeast to supervise the tax reform, is a fat trip, after all, with the support of the court, the thing is a great achievement, but don't think that this thing will definitely be done, the southeast is a tax land, the power of the merchant gentry is intertwined, the so-called Tiangao Emperor is far away, if the Qin Cha sent over does not have enough skills and ability, it may not be able to suppress it.
And since this matter has passed the court meeting, it must be done, once the Qin mission is slightly worse, the career will basically come to an end!
So overall, it's a high-risk and high-risk errand.
From this point of view, cough, if you don't have this diamond or don't take this porcelain job, if you want to ask who has the highest prestige in the court, of course, it is undoubtedly the first Yuanfu Wang Xijue, but if you want to ask which force is the largest, it is undoubtedly the Zhejiang Party.
In recent years, the first emperor lived in the palace, the party struggle in the imperial court became more and more intense, although the Zhejiang party lost in the matter of establishing the prince, but the foundation is still there, and it is the only party among the parties that has people in the cabinet, and after Shen has always gone, Zhu Geng took the initiative to recruit Shen Li into the Zhejiang party in order to protect himself, so now the Zhejiang party can be said to be a dominant among the major forces in the DPRK, with the support of two cabinet scholars, and the rest of the parties are naturally much inferior.
And as everyone knows, Wang Xijue, the old man of Yuanfu, has always been very disdainful of forming a party, although the old man has many old protégés, but he has not formed a gang, but even the prestige of the old man alone is enough to suppress the situation.
As for the second assistant Zhenji, he entered the cabinet with the imperial history of the left capital, and the nature of the official is special, and the most important thing is independence, if it is a party and is ginseng, it is a big sin.
Therefore, although Zhen Zhenji has close trusts in the department, he cannot be called a party when it comes to political parties.
In this way, the only one in the DPRK and China who can compete with the Zhejiang Party is the Imperial Party headed by the scholar Li Tingji!
Although the Imperial Party is not as numerous and powerful as the Zhejiang Party, they are all ministers of the Son of Heaven's Hidden Mansion, and they have an innate advantage, not to mention that although Li Tingji accompanies the last seat, the name of the cabinet scholar is there, and it can be regarded as suppressing the other parties.
And what can be imagined on this errand is that it will inevitably face fierce resistance from the locality, if the errand is not completed, but there is a popular uprising, then wait to return to the court to ask for the guilt.
Therefore, all the ministers present were very wise not to meddle in the matter of candidates, and this errand would either belong to the Zhejiang Party, and use their strong official connections to suppress the local gentry and handle things beautifully.
Either it will return to the imperial party, the number of people in the imperial party is not large, all of them are the emperor's henchmen, and they must be reluctant to lose, so if this errand belongs to the imperial party, it will definitely get the full support of the emperor, so that things will be much easier.
"It's not proper, Su Songdao is an important tax town of the imperial court, and it is a prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are a lot of businessmen, and now the tax reform must be a big move, if something goes wrong, it must be a big deal, so it is more appropriate to choose Jiaxing Mansion or Huzhou Mansion with a slightly lighter tax but relatively stable one!"
If the errand is done badly, it will naturally be a big mistake, but if it is done well, it will naturally be a great achievement, and now that the imperial party needs meritorious service accumulation qualifications, how can Li Tingji give up easily.
But this truth is not the case with the Zhejiang Party?
Although the Zhejiang Party is still at the top of the parties in these years, but the position has failed, and the leader Shen has always been dismissed, under the heavy blow, there are already many forces in the DPRK and China that are ready to move, and Zhu Ge Lao also needs such a credit to stabilize the people's hearts, and naturally he will not want to let it.
"It is precisely because Su Songdao is an important tax town of the imperial court, so the reform of the imperial court should start from here, if the reform of Susong Dao is successful, the pressure on other places will be greatly reduced, and the imperial court can also quickly relieve the economic pressure, as for what went wrong, this matter is jointly agreed by the secretaries, the imperial court should send a senior and competent Qin to preside, and with the cooperation of the imperial court, how can anything go wrong?"
You must know that since the emperor did not go to the early dynasty, this kind of competition between the candidates for the imperial mission, generally speaking, is discussed by the cabinet and the relevant yamen, and will not be discussed in the court as today, after all, each yamen has its own affairs.
Therefore, it is natural that there are fewer and fewer situations like this in which the two pavilion elders are fighting each other, and Qiqing is watching from the sidelines, and the matter of mining tax is decided, and the mood of the big man is relaxed, just watching a play.
What's more, they whispered while watching.
"According to the old man, Li Ge Lao's momentum is a little insufficient, and his words are not old enough, compared with Zhu Ge Lao, he is still young!"
"That's not necessarily, being young has the advantage of being young, don't forget, this matter still has to be reported to Your Majesty for approval in the end, Your Majesty's side must be inclined to Li Ge Lao......"
"No, no, this Li Ge Lao is too anxious today, I am afraid that it will make the emperor dissatisfied, maybe a small punishment and a big commandment, I will hand over the errand to Zhu Ge Lao!"
Although it is six departments and seven secretaries, these bigwigs are no different from ordinary people, so they almost move a little horse to eat melon seeds.
"Zhu Ge Lao admires Su Songdao so much, is it possible that he is afraid that Jiaxing and other places are in Zhejiang, which will make Zhu Ge Lao tie his hands and feet, and judge national affairs for his own interests, is it a gentleman's doing?"
On the other side, the struggle between the two elders has become more and more intense, and a certain elder surnamed Li has begun to rise to the point of personal attacks.
However, if you talk about the work of mouth cannons, how can a certain elder surnamed Zhu, who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, fall behind, and snort coldly with ridicule below.
"Hmph, Li Ge Lao suggested Jiaxing Huzhou, is it possible that he feels that he is not qualified enough and is difficult to take on a big responsibility? Such a forward-looking and forward-looking person, will he not fail the trust of His Majesty and the imperial court? ”
"That's it!"
Seeing that the good court discussion became chaotic in a moment, Shousuke-sama finally sank his face and stopped in displeasure.
Qiqing and other unrelated personnel immediately sat upright, with a look that had nothing to do with me, while the two pavilion elders who were arguing fiercely glared at each other and sat back in their places stupidly.
"We are waiting for today's court discussion to how to solve the treasury revenue, since there has been a result, if you have no other opinions, please ask Gonggong Chen to return to the palace, and the results of the court meeting will be presented to Your Majesty, as for where to choose the trial place, who should be the candidate for the Qin mission, it should be decided by Your Majesty, and the princes can have other intentions?"
Wang Xijue shook his head helplessly and looked at the ministers.
"Good!"
A group of ministers below spoke in unison, and silently said that they had long wanted to go home for dinner.
As for the two elders, they glared at each other unwillingly, but they didn't speak, and they also knew that they couldn't fight for a result today......
