Chapter 669: The Emperor Has His Own Way
If Zhu Changluo is here at this moment, when he hears Ye Xianggao's words, he will inevitably suddenly realize why on the original historical trajectory, decades later, Ye and Li will part ways, just like Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng back then.
There are no two people in this world who have exactly the same temperament and personality, maybe when they are young, this is not so obvious, but when they gradually rise to a high position, the opposite side of their personalities will be revealed step by step.
And all the people who can go to the core of the political situation must have their own political beliefs, and this belief must be closely related to their character and temperament.
In Li Tingji's view, Han Yi threatened his status and must be suppressed, but Ye Xianggao didn't think so.
"Now that the situation is chaotic, we should work together, why is the Zhejiang Party strong? It's not as simple as just gathering for the party, but to help each other and help each other in the same boat, so that there is now a situation where one is dominant, and we are the old ministers of the East Palace, the power is still weak, and it is difficult to compete with their generation, at this time, we should try our best to strengthen ourselves, whether it is the old man, or Brother Li Fang, or even Han Yi, He Zongyan and others, and we are all one, only we are in the court to gain a firm foothold, in order to assist the saint, a grand plan, if it is exhaustive infighting, nothing more than self-cutting arms! ”
Ye Xianggao sighed and continued.
"What's more, Brother Fang, please think about it, today we have won such a great achievement for Han Yi, when he returned to Beijing with Han Yi in Japan, he owed me a great favor, Brother Fang also said, Han Yi is now Jane's generation in the Sacred Heart, even if he can defeat his chance this time, as long as the Holy Will is still in his body, one day he will be ranked in the cabinet, and now suppressing him is tantamount to making enemies in vain, and it will cause His Majesty's displeasure, such a gain outweighs the loss, is it possible that Brother Fang can't understand?"
"Great goodness!"
Fang Congzhe's face was grim, and he suddenly stroked his palm and smiled.
"The old man has long known that Jin Qing is a person with a broad mind, and he will not be confined to the small profits in front of him, and only with such a tolerant mind can Shilin be convinced!"
"This ...... Brother Fang praised it falsely, the old man was just telling the truth, but this time, Brother Fang has a countermeasure? ”
Regarding Fang Congzhe's attitude of suddenly becoming close, Ye Xianggao was only stunned for a moment, and then silently accepted it.
In fact, from the moment Fang Cai, he had already understood why Fang Congzhe stayed to tell him so much, I am afraid that at this time, the Li Mansion should have also received the news, Chen Ju and Fang Congzhe of the Master of Ceremonies have arrived at his Ye Mansion and have been talking secretly for a long time......
If it was in the past, Ye Xianggao might have explained, but after Fang Congzhe pointed out Li Tingji's arrangement, Ye Xianggao knew that he was destined to take a different path with this old friend.
When the judgment continues to suffer from the chaos, Ye Xianggao's biggest advantage is that since he is not destined to be a person all the way, there is no need to force it, so Ye Xianggao naturally took over the olive branch handed over by Fang Congzhe.
"There is a way!"
Fang Congzhe smiled proudly, knowing that his goal today had been achieved, he breathed a sigh of relief and said.
"Oh, how?"
Ye Xianggao gathered his mind and asked.
"Wait!"
"Wait?"
Regarding Fang Congzhe's seemingly infinite method, Ye Xianggao was obviously not very satisfied, and looked at the former with a slightly contemptuous face, as if he would immediately turn his face before the former gave an explanation.
"Don't be in a hurry, the old man is not perfunctory! But for today's plan, it is better to be still than to be still, and only by waiting patiently can we usher in a turnaround! ”
Fang Congzhe pondered for a moment and explained.
Ye Xianggao is also a little transparent.
"What does Brother Fang mean that the palace will make a move? But the Son of Heaven has clearly issued an edict and handed over the matter to the cabinet......"
Now that I think about it, the only person who can support the imperial party is the Son of Heaven in the palace, but in order to appease Shen and Zhu, the Son of Heaven has obviously entrusted this matter to the cabinet.
Unexpectedly, Fang Congzhe nodded with a serious face and said.
"What can Jin Qing see when he carefully ponders the two wills from His Majesty?"
Previously, there were two decrees from the Inner Palace, one was to promote Fang Congzhe to be the attendant of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Hanlin Academy, instead of Li Tingji's attendant to give a lecture on the scriptures, and the other was to set the trial place in Suzhou Mansion, and the candidates for the Qin mission were handed over to the cabinet for approval......
On the surface, it seems that these two wills are to warn Li Tingji and appease Shen and Zhu, but now that Fang Congzhe mentioned it, Ye Xianggao felt a little strange.
"Brother Fang is saying that Brother Fang's official position has been transferred?"
It stands to reason that if you want to punish Li Tingji, you only need to remove him from the errand of the banquet attendant, even if you want Fang Congzhe to replace him, you don't have to specifically promote Fang Congzhe to the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, not to mention that he also sent an errand to be in charge of the Hanlin Academy.
It's just that this errand is a clear stream errand, and it is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so generally speaking, the official will not be low, but it does not have to be an official, the reason why the emperor took this opportunity to promote Fang Congzhe's official position is obviously playing on the topic......
"Yes, the old man is the official of the country, if the official and the servant lecture feast, the official rank is a little lower, but it is not impossible, Your Majesty uses this as a reason to promote the old man, not only for the old man alone, but also to appease us!"
A smile appeared on Fang Congzhe's face and spoke.
"We are all former ministers of His Majesty's Hidden Mansion, but because of Brother Li's matter, His Majesty was furious, and he had to issue an edict to appease other ministers, so it will make our ministers of the Hidden Mansion feel uneasy, Your Majesty Jian pulled out the old man to tell us that he did not implicate us because of Brother Li's matter, and the Imperial Party is still the person Your Majesty relies on the most.
"For the sake of the overall situation, although Your Majesty has to appease the cabinet ministers and send the matter to the cabinet for approval, it will inevitably come up with ideas to bring back the candidates for the Qincha......"
Ye Xianggao suddenly realized.
As Fang Congzhe said, His Majesty values Han Yi, so he will go to great lengths to create this opportunity for him, and now it is Li Tingji who offends His Majesty, not Han Yi, and the credit used to appease the cabinet ministers is Han Yi's, it makes no sense that Li Tingji caused the trouble, but Han Yi has to bear it......
Your Majesty has always rewarded and punished clearly, and since Han Yi has no fault, then Your Majesty will naturally try his best to win this errand for him.
Fang Congzhe nodded.
"Yes, although the old man doesn't know what plan His Majesty has in mind, His Majesty will not treat Han Yi badly, so what we have to do now is to wait, and wait for Your Majesty to use us before making a move, if you make a rash move, I am afraid that it will disrupt Your Majesty's plan......"
