Chapter 416: The Old Fighting Method of the Two Pavilions
Syllable!
Zhu Youxiao slapped the music in his hand directly on the table, his breath couldn't help but become a little heavier, and he sneered:
"A good Qian Qianyi, but will play a borrowed chicken to lay eggs, take advantage of the trend, now it seems that these Donglin Party legacy is really not a use, in addition to the whiskers and horses, it is a first-class level to engage in party fighting!
I thought it was Li Mingrui and others who wanted to do something to Cao Sicheng, but now it was Qian Qianyi's proud disciple Jiang Dejing who took the impeachment fold first, which really made me unbelievable, but in this case, this Cao Sicheng is only afraid that his ass is already sitting on Li Mingrui's side.

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing, and he was a little tired and came to lie down.
"Li Mingrui and these people will also develop their power, and they have reached out to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I don't know if they have forgotten the original intention of promoting them, and they have changed their forces one by one, and it is unknown whether they can do a few practical things for Daming, but it seems that it is time for this cabinet to inject some fresh blood."
Zhu Youxiao's words made Wang Chengen, the celebrant who was accompanying him on the side, feel nervous, and said in his heart:
"Your Majesty said such a thing, could it be that he had the idea of changing the ministers? This means that the civil servants are about to enter a period of inspection, and some officials who are qualified to compete for cabinet ministers have undoubtedly entered the most critical stage at this moment.
However, Wang Chengen knew that he was a minister and it was inconvenient to participate in the affairs of the outer court, so he thought about it more at most, and asked: "Then Your Majesty, how should this Jiang Dejing's performance be approved?" ”
"Didn't Sun Chengzong say the day before yesterday that now the Hamiwei and Chijin Mongolian areas have just been recovered because of the westward expedition, and now the officials continue to go to change the land and return to the stream?
I expected that Sun Chengzong was now in charge of Shaanxi and several border towns, and obviously had no time to take care of the territories west of Jiayuguan, not to mention that the situation in these territories was more complicated.
In my opinion, simply set up the Gansu Chengxuan Political Envoy Department to govern the vast land west of Jiayuguan to Hamiwei, especially the Hetao area! Let the cabinet find a reason to send Cao Sicheng to be the governor of Gansu and receive the official title of the imperial history of the left capital, and the dignified and left imperial history cannot remain neutral, and there is no need for me to keep him in the center! ”
Saying that, Zhu Youxiao said again: "For this Jiang Dejing, who is young and doesn't think about doing great things for the country, he is willing to be a lackey of others and a pioneer in the party's struggle, what is the difference between this person and Yang Lian and others!" This is also the person I hate the most, but it makes no sense to kill him, and it even fulfills him.
Since he dared to make a dignified Zuodu imperial history, he set up Hamiwei as the mansion, and asked him to go to Hamiwei to be a prefect, to be the westernmost prefect of my Ming Dynasty, if he can't successfully change the Hami Mansion within three years, he doesn't have to go back to the Central Plains. ”
Wang Chengen had to admire His Majesty Zhu Youxiao's clever response, and let an old minister like Cao Sicheng go to Gansu, although it was a demotion, but it did not have much loss, and it was not completely as Qian Qianyi and his party's wishes.
What's more, he also made Jiang Dejing the prefect of Hami, and he was Cao Sicheng's subordinate, which is undoubtedly the best punishment for Jiang Dejing, and it can be regarded as a warning to other officials that if they dare to be used as guns by others at will, they can only go to a remote place to serve the Ming Dynasty.
Qian Qianyi was a little disappointed after learning that Cao Sicheng had been demoted to the newly established Gansu Chengxuan Political Envoy Department as governor, he didn't expect that His Majesty would not be ruthless today.
Even the reason for the demotion is very mild, and the way is to praise and suppress, that is, the reason is that Cao Sicheng is old and serious, honest and self-controlled, because Sun Chengzong proposed that the newly annexed Hami Shazhou and other places need to be calm and capable old ministers to sit in the town and not be disturbed, so Cao Sicheng was made the governor of Gansu.
"Could it be that His Majesty has changed his usual iron-blooded style, turned to mildness, and began to play with hidden needles?" Qian Qianyi didn't realize that His Majesty Zhu Youxiao had already expressed dissatisfaction with his vain attempt to play conspiracy against the ministers of the Ministry, and in his opinion, His Majesty Zhu Youxiao might just not want to make a big deal anymore and wanted to strike a balance between him and Li Mingrui.
Therefore, Qian Qianyi did not feel a trace of fear because of Cao Sicheng's debasement, but felt that His Majesty was just aware that there might be party strife in this and did not want to be led by his own nose, although he even brought his proud disciple Jiang Dejing because His Majesty wanted to beat himself and was demoted to Hamiwei as the prefect, but Qian Qianyi was still in a good mood, after all, sacrificing one to fight for the middle of the matter and bringing down a Zuodu Imperial History, this political deal is not a loss in his opinion.
Li Mingrui's side did not feel lost because of Cao Sicheng's demotion , according to his understanding of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, he could guess that Cao Sicheng obviously escaped a catastrophe, and it also happened to show that His Majesty did not want to make things bigger, especially before the complete elimination of Jiannu was about to be carried out, the last thing His Majesty wanted to happen today was that there was any major turmoil within the court, and Qian Qianyi wanted to rectify himself through Zhu Youzhen, which was undoubtedly a taboo for His Majesty. 、
In Li Mingrui's view, this Qian Qianyi is obviously looking for unhappiness, although he got his wish and let Cao Sicheng on his side leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but it also indicates that this Qian Pavilion old man is also not far from Zhishi.
Therefore, Li Mingrui not only did not feel depressed at the moment because Cao Sicheng was demoted, but also felt a trace of joy in his heart.
Of course, on the surface, he still showed a very unhappy look, and even went to the Shili Long Pavilion to see Cao Sicheng in a very high-profile manner, and promised to take care of Cao Sicheng's family members who stayed in the capital.
Since His Majesty Zhu Youxiao has demoted Cao Sicheng's position, it means that he already knows that Cao Sicheng is not a lonely minister, otherwise His Majesty will definitely protect Cao Sicheng like Bao Lu Xiangsheng back then, and he will simply promote Cao Sicheng regardless of the opposition of the imperial historian.
Therefore, Li Mingrui did not deliberately conceal his relationship with Cao Sicheng, and behaved in a high-profile manner, not only to show Qian Qianyi, but also to be a His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, he wanted His Majesty Zhu Youxiao to know that although he befriended other ministers and ministers, it was not for himself, but for his own political ideas, so when he said goodbye to Cao Sicheng, he deliberately told Cao Sicheng loudly that since he was the governor of a province, he should levy commercial taxes, develop commerce and trade, and reproduce the glory of the Silk Road.
Li Mingrui knows very well that although His Majesty is opposed to forming a party, he is not opposed to officials coming together because of the same political philosophy, especially the same political philosophy as His Majesty today.
Li Mingrui said loudly so that the people in Dongchang could hear it, and then let His Majesty Zhu Youxiao know about it.
Zhu Youxiao did know about the conversation between Li Mingrui and Cao Sicheng in the afternoon of the same day, and couldn't help laughing: "Our old Li Ge also knows how to act, and what he said is impassioned. ”
Saying that, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask Liu Ruyu, the commander of Dongchang: "What is Qian Qianyi doing today?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Qian Ge Lao has been recuperating in the mansion today, but his son saw a man named Guang Shiheng in Baoyun Tower today, this person is Nanzhili Jinke Yayuan, and he has also won Xiao Sanyuan, and he is a popular candidate to compete for the first place next year, and his uncle Chen Yuting is the imperial history of Nanjing's right capital, and it seems that he wants to move around Qian Qianyi here to take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Liu Ruyu said that he didn't wait for Zhu Youxiao to continue asking, so he took the initiative to introduce Chen Yuting: "This Chen Yuting is a Jinshi in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, and he has always been known for his straightness, and he was once so angry that Wei Zhongxian demoted him to Nanjing to be the imperial history, but this person seems to be content to retire in Nanjing. ”
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and said: "What a Qian Pavilion elder, I just demoted Cao Sicheng, the imperial history of the left capital, and he can't wait to arrange a new imperial history of the left capital for me, this is too hasty." ”
Liu Ruyu obviously felt that His Majesty was dissatisfied with Qian Qianyi's behavior, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, this Qian Pavilion elder was afraid that he would follow the same path as Wei Guangwei.
Everyone can see that what His Majesty wants is an obedient Shoufu, not a Shoufu who treats the emperor as a monkey in the open.
As expected, after that, Qian Qianyi did recommend Chen Yuting to Zhu Youxiao, but Zhu Youxiao did not agree to Qian Qianyi, on the contrary, the news that Chen Yuting died violently at home soon after.
After Li Mingrui learned of this, his heart was also a lot happier, and he couldn't help but say to Gong Yonggu: "In addition to being shameless and invincible, this Qian Muzhai is obviously full of paste in his head, he thinks he is extremely smart, but he doesn't know that he has already been played by His Majesty between applause, and now he can't wait to install his own people in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but I don't know that this will make Your Majesty even more disgusted, our previous plan was just to let Qian Qianyi resign and return to his hometown to retire, Now it seems that it is not difficult to let him end up beheaded. ”
Although Gong Yonggu is a lieutenant of the horse and belongs to the likes of Xun Qi, this person has always been a person who pays attention to honor, so he is the most shameful for people like Qian Qianyi, and now seeing Li Mingrui say that he wants Qian Qianyi to be beheaded and shown to the public, it also makes Gong Yonggu can't help but be curious, and hurriedly asks: "I don't know what trick Elder Li Ge has to make this shameless person be punished?" ”
"The son born to the queen is already full moon, as the saying goes, the country can't be without a king for a day, let alone a day without a prince, when there was only a concubine born to King Zhao, there was no dispute among the courtiers about who would set up the prince, but now that the queen has a son-in-law, do you think these civil officials, especially those Qingliu officials who pay attention to the order of etiquette and religion, will not interfere in the affairs of the emperor's family and force His Majesty to establish a prince as soon as possible?"
As soon as Li Mingrui said this, Gong Yonggu couldn't help but nodded with a sudden understanding: "In other words, just like the dispute between the first emperor and the eldest in the period of the emperor, today's civil officials will also interfere in His Majesty's family affairs because of this?" ”
"The horse thinks that with His Majesty's temperament, these officials will make trouble, you can watch it, as long as this Qian Qianyi dares to propose the establishment of the prince, it will not be far from death, and we will only need to add fuel to the fire when the time comes."
Li Mingrui got up and said goodbye to Gong Yonggu, but he happened to come to a place not far from the West Garden of the Imperial City, and Li Mingrui couldn't help but think of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, who was escorted into the capital by himself.
As an old Hanlin who had nothing to rely on in the imperial court, Li Mingrui knew that his rise did not depend on how good he was in the officialdom, but because he had the same ruthless and decisive character as His Majesty today.
And he, like Lu Xiangsheng, was single-handedly pulled up from the bottom by His Majesty today, and did not rely on the cabinet minister or the minister.
Therefore, in Li Mingrui's consciousness, the interests of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao are related to his interests, so he must take into account all factors that are likely to harm His Majesty's interests.
Li Mingrui has always been worried about Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, but he doesn't know what to do, and there is nothing else to do except take a few glances at the location of Xiyuan.
But what Li Mingrui didn't expect was that Qian Qianyi, who was still the first assistant of the cabinet, actually appeared here at this moment.
Li Mingrui couldn't help but go up to say hello, and stiffly arched his hand towards Qian Qianyi: "I've seen the elder pavilion." ”
Qian Qianyi may have deliberately wanted to be angry with Li Mingrui, so he straightened his chest and accepted Li Mingrui's salute, Li Mingrui's face was half red for a while, but he didn't say anything.
However, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but feel greatly surprised by this, and deliberately asked loudly: "Elder Li Ge, this is just seeing King Xin come back?" ”
Li Mingrui knew that Qian Qianyi was deliberately releasing his heart-wrenching words, so he couldn't help but laugh out loud and asked: "Qian Ge Lao said that he was joking, King Xin is still a guilty person, how dare the lower officials approach, but they just happened to pass through this area, why did Qian Ge Lao go to see King Xin, I heard that Qian Ge Lao had also awarded His Royal Highness King Xin back then, and now it is understandable to come to see his students, so the lower officials will not bother." ”
Hearing Li Mingrui say this, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but be angry, and was about to scold a few words, but was stunned to see Zhu Youzheng shaking his fan, like the son of an ordinary rich and noble family.
The two hurriedly stopped arguing, and bent down to salute Zhu Youxiao, and said in a low voice: "I've seen Your Majesty!" But in order to prove that they were more pious than each other, the two actually competed to see who bent over more than whom, but who knew that they were bent like this, and the two fell to the ground at the same time, which made Zhu Youxiao laugh on the spot.
Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that these two people were fighting the law, but he didn't debunk it, but deliberately asked: "Why do the two Aiqing have the leisure to meet here today, and dare to visit King Xin?" ”
Zhu Youxiao's words made Qian Qianyi and Li Mingrui feel horrified and afraid, they didn't want His Majesty Zhu Youxiao to think that they were the ones who supported Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters.
But the two of them didn't know what to say to explain except for a while.
Zhu Youxiao saw that these two people were deflated, but he couldn't help but feel more happy in his heart, and said in his heart: "I was so scared by my joke, so it seems that he is not a trustworthy first assistant." ”
Of course, maybe Qian Qianyi and Li Mingrui didn't know how His Majesty Zhu Youxiao felt at this time, and now they just wanted to desperately take this opportunity to behave well in front of His Majesty Zhu Youxiao, at least to make His Majesty have a better impression of himself and believe that he is capable of doing things.
Zhu Youxiao was also happy to take advantage of this to chat with them more, but what made Zhu Youxiao a little stunned was that this Qian Qianyi finally suddenly brought up the matter of establishing a prince.
