Chapter 231: The Alliance of Old and Young
In November of the fifth year of Zhengde, winter snow. The left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Chen Yu, is on the house.
The snow was piling up in front of the hall, Fang Xiaomei was cleaning up with a broom, and a bluestone road gradually appeared.
Chen Yu got up early in the morning, and when she saw her, she said with a smile: "Really diligent." ”
"There are not many people in the world who can sleep peacefully at this time like you, and you know that the impeachment of you is almost full of cabinets." Fang Xiaomei smiled slightly.
Since Chen Yu came back from near Gyeonggi, the impeachment of him has not stopped, for no other reason, it is said that his corpse is a vegetarian meal or something, anyway, this time Liu Liu and Liu Qi were not eradicated near Gyeonggi, and he Chen Yu should not return to Jingshi.
For these officials Chen Yu, who don't listen to things outside the window and only write a letter of impeachment, he doesn't bother to pay attention to them, if you want to impeach, just impeach, it's best to scold hard, anyway, there is Zhu Houzhao that guy on top.
Wanting to pacify the rebel army in a few days or a month or two is tantamount to a fool's dream, Chen Yu also deliberated all night last night, if you really want to put an end to future troubles, it is impossible to suppress them by force alone, but you can't let them develop like this.
Da Ming was already weak, and he couldn't let them go on like this. But how can the rebel army be stopped from continuing to grow?
The uprising of the Liu brothers was by no means a blood spill of blood, cutting off the head of the chicken and worshiping the handle, judging from their marching route alone, they still had a certain goal, with the Hebei Buzheng Division as the center, and fought first around Gyeonggi.
They must have known that Gyeonggi was militarily weak, so they chose this place, which would not only give the rebel army confidence, but also give them combat experience, killing two birds with one stone.
They will not move the Nine Sides in any case, and they also know the combat effectiveness of the Nine Sides, so next, their route began to change, turning to Shandong and Henan and other places.
The people here are poor, they can be very good to expand their military, and their purpose is not as loud as their slogans shout, maybe at the beginning it was to overturn the harsh decrees, but when the power is getting bigger and bigger, is there anyone to restrain them, who can guarantee that they will still maintain their original intentions?
Chen Yu's policies such as a whip and a spread into acres have achieved a little effect in the past five years, although they have not yet been widely promoted to the whole country, but they can see the changes in Guanzhong, and they are also afraid, afraid that the imperial court will settle down.
There are some things that once they do, they can't just stop if they want to.
Zhao'an? It's a way, but how can the ambition and power of those people wipe them out in a sentence or two?
It is necessary to fight, and Zhao'an must also do it, but these things are not achieved overnight.
The Bazhou Rebel Army continues to grow at an incredible speed of development, which the Ming Dynasty does not want to see, but no one dares to take this errand, if it is done well, there may be a prize, but it is not excluded that there will be people to participate in you, these are not strange things.
But once it can't be done, just like now, the music is flying all over the sky, and fortunately, Chen Yu hasn't done much yet, if he really invests a lot of strength and finally fails, then it's really hard to explain.
Just when she was thinking about it, Fang Xiaomei walked up to him and said, "Lord Yang Yiqing is here." ”
"Hurry up, please."
In a way, Yang Yiqing is very similar to himself, he is not as stubborn as Yang Tinghe, right and wrong have a conclusion in the eyes of Yang Tinghe and people like this, but there is no one in the eyes of Chen Yu and Yang Yiqing.
Maybe it's because he is often at the border, so that Yang Yiqing's temperament is a little more tactful, he is different from ordinary Jinshi scholars, he can write and martial arts, and he also knows how to do it to benefit the country.
Yang Yiqing was still in good spirits, and he was not polite when he arrived in Chen Yu's study, flicked the snowflakes on the mink cloak, and then took it off and sat down by the fire.
This is the first day that Yang Yiqing was promoted to the head of the household department, and the power of the six departments can be imagined, Yang Yiqing can achieve this position, he knows that although this is related to his resume, but if it is not for Chen Yu's boost, he will not be so fast.
"Congratulations to Lord Yang on his promotion." Chen Yu said with a smile, for Yang Yiqing, he really regarded him as his own person, and put his heart into his heart.
"Well, the old man still wants to thank Er Tingyu." Yang Yiqing said: "I, Yang Yiqing, am not an old stubborn, face is not a thing to me, the old man has already regarded you as a little friend, if there is no you here, the old man knows, it is impossible to be so fast, they may not understand you, the old man knows your ability." ”
Yang Yiqing continued with a smile: "Sometimes people really can't guess their abilities based on age, Er Tingyu is an example, the old man has never admired anyone before, you are the first!" ”
Yang Yiqing's words are very serious, you must know that he is a Chenghua Jinshi, how many years have he been in the officialdom battlefield, he can say such things to a young man in his early twenties, you can see how much he values Chen Yu.
But indeed, Daming has never had a demon like Chen Yu, who can be so popular in this murderous officialdom that eats bones and doesn't spit out skin, requires a high IQ and EQ, not only that, but you also have a deep understanding of the norms and necessary unspoken rules of officialdom!
All of this takes time to experience, but Chen Yu is different, he is only twenty years old, and at the age of twenty, he can touch the center of power, which is really difficult to see in the eleventh dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.
Some people don't necessarily have a half-official position in their lives, and Daming has no shortage of champions, but if there is such a powerful kid as Chen Yu, he can't find a second one!
Min Shang, Liu Jin, Cabinet, Jinyiwei, East Factory, West Factory, just by taking out these names, they can make those young people who have just entered the officialdom tremble in fright, but who would have thought that Chen Yu, a hairy boy, could easily play with these people and applaud, not only that, but he can also eat away at these hostile forces step by step, what kind of existence is this!
Yang Yiqing is not jealous of Chen Yu, he knows everything Chen Yu has done, and when he was at the border, he knew that no matter his coastal defense, reform, or capital clan, these are all touching the bottom line of those people's interests, and everything that seems impossible has been done by him.
Maybe many people won't attribute Chen Yu to Qingliu, maybe he will have a lot of infamy, but this kid doesn't care, everything he does is just for Da Ming!
If such a person is not with him, Yang Yiqing, then his ambition in this life is a joke.
For the shortcomings of the Ming officialdom, none of these old foxes don't know, but no one dares to do it, because as long as you do it, there will be a large number of resistance waiting for you, and if you don't do it, you will never recover, but this young man is not afraid at all, although it is difficult, he goes alone!
Chen Yu, you will not be alone in the future, I, Yang Yiqing, am not a bad seed, I will do my best to help you and realize your ideals!
Chen Yu didn't look like Yang Yiqing was joking, and became extremely solemn: "Lord Yang, you really tortured me, I am not a good official in the eyes of others." ”
"That's someone else!" Yang Yiqing held Chen Yu's hand and said, "It's enough to have a confidant in life." ”
Chen Yu naturally pulled Yang Yiqing's hand away, although such an atmosphere was needed at this time, Chen Yu felt disgusted.
"Now there is something I need to discuss with Lord Yang." Chen Yu said.
"The rebel army in Bazhou?" Yang Yiqing said.
It seems that Yang Yiqing didn't come over casually today, he should have done his homework, Chen Yu nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
"If you don't have a year or two for this matter, you can't digest it, and you must not stand out in the imperial court." Yang Yiqing said: "I know those Bazhou people, but I didn't think that their development speed would be so fast, it is not easy to completely clear them, you know, they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Chen Yu said: "It is precisely because I know that they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, so I am troubled, but the fight is still to be fought, but if you want to completely eradicate it, the army suppression is not clear about the roots." ”
"You can try to surrender." Yang Yiqing said: "But with the growth of power, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”
"I have to do it to fight and surrender, but these are not the point, just let those people in the court see that I am doing things, in fact, if the economic growth of the Ming Dynasty does not go up, there will be Liu Liu and Liu Qi today, and I can't say that there will be Wang Liu and Wang Qi tomorrow."
"Tingyu sees the problem very thoroughly, your reform is now beginning to bear fruit in Zhejiang and other places, and the next thing is to promote it throughout the country."
"Hey, that's where I'm distressed, there's too much resistance, it's not as simple as I thought." Chen Yu said: "There are too many people's interests involved, as if the interests of the entire Ming officialdom and gentry have been leveraged, hey." ”
"Chen Tingyu is not like a person who will give up easily." Yang Yiqing's eyes were full of determination, "You used to fight alone, and now there is an old man!" ”
Hot blood is hot blood, but how to listen to it, how to feel a little bit of a feeling.
"It's not easy, I'm afraid it won't be long before Yang Jiefu is going to enter the cabinet, Scholar Li has begun to gradually hand over power to Yang Jiefu, he is not a good stubble, the main thing is that he is too principled, and he has just entered the cabinet, what I do, he will definitely oppose it!"
"Seek stability!" Yang Yiqing said: "Scholars mislead the country! ”
Immediately felt that these words scolded both himself and Chen Yu, and smiled embarrassedly.
"In this case, I will arrange for someone to surrender the rebel army first." Yang Yiqing said.
"Yang Jiefu must object, he needs this credit now." Chen Yu said.
"Cut first, play later!".
