"Brother Meng Yang, although you have different political views, you are also a member of the cabinet after all, do you plan to just watch it like this?"

After the split of the court, the Shi Party and the Imperial Party have always maintained a clear and distinct situation, although Jiao Fang and Li Dongyang walked side by side in the front, but they still maintained a not too wide, but obvious distance between the two. 【】

In the past, there would be no conversation between the two parties, anyway, it was just a quarrel, and there were opportunities to quarrel in the court, and they did not argue for a moment, only occasionally when they looked at each other, they could see the sparks that burst out at that moment.

However, today is a little different, Li Dongyang caught a glimpse of Jiao Fang's brows trembling slightly, obviously hearing the conversation just now, so he was thinking about it. Under the urgency of the situation, he couldn't take care of it anymore, so he took advantage of this question to hand out an olive branch to the other party.

"The emperor's decision, of course, we as courtiers can only assist with all our hearts." Jiao Fang smiled, the tone was the same as before, it was a typical view of the imperial party, but Li Dongyang caught something else from his expression, that is, bitterness and helplessness.

"Brother Meng Yang, you ...... Do you know anything else? Li Dongyang asked.

Now the inner court has completely escaped the control of the outer court, although the scholar party has painstakingly placed a few eyeliners, but the status of those people is too low, and among the information sent out with great difficulty, there is only the general trend of Zhengde, and when it comes to details, it is not to think about it.

However, the imperial party should be different, as far as Li Dongyang knows, Jiao Fang has been walking around the Forbidden City a lot recently, and Xiyuan has not been going less, if he knows something inside, it is reasonable.

Jiao Fang didn't answer this question, Jingyang bell rang, he shook the sleeves of his robe, and took the lead in entering the hall, Li Dongyang could only put away his doubts and chased after him quickly, and at the moment he crossed Jiao Fang, he suddenly heard Jiao Fang let out an inaudible sigh.

“…… What if you don't look at it? ”

These words really hit Li Dongyang's vital point, he was like being struck by lightning, and he stood on the spot, unable to deal with it for a while.

"Xiya, don't fall for the annihilation scheme, it's just alarmist, don't forget, Liaodong is ......" Wang Wei followed behind Li Dongyang, and at this time he also snorted, his words were not only to remind Li Dongyang, but also to himself.

After all, they still underestimated their opponents, and still dealt with them according to the pattern of previous political disputes, but before they knew it, the other party had laid so many secrets, and they were about to launch it, if it weren't for the natural disaster...... Wang Wei couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, he was a veteran of officialdom for many years, and these many people were united, and they were actually tied up in front of the two teenagers, and there was no way to do it, and in the end, they could only count on God to clean up the enemy, and after death, they were afraid that they would have no face to face the sages.

"It's a natural disaster, he can't escape, he can't avoid it!" It doesn't matter what kind of means he is, as long as he can achieve the goal, Wang Wei accentuated his tone and repeated the words he had said countless times.

Although his voice was low, Jiao Fang was not far away, and he finally heard it, and his figure paused slightly, but then he returned to normal.

For the calmness of the emperor and Tang Bohu and others, his feelings were much deeper than those of Li Dongyang and others, and everything was going according to the established plan without being affected in the slightest.

Take the School of Political Science and Law as an example, as Li Dongyang and others expected, the emperor planned to use those down-and-out scholars as his staff, and even the name was set, so it was called the Senate.

During this time, the reason why he kept running to the palace was because he got the will of Zhengde and went to Xiyuan to teach government affairs, and his students were students in the academy, and the content he taught was the political affairs that the third father-in-law wrote down in the early dynasty, and he needed to explain them in an all-round way, and judge the countermeasures formulated by the students.

Due to the large number of participants, and the level of education and background are also uneven, the results of the discussion are often impartial and middle-of-the-road, which is not much outstanding.

However, since these people have nothing to do with the local government, the strategy they draw up is not selfish, and it is completely done as the homework of the academy, which is both efficient and relatively fair.

Although it is not yet as good as the ministers in the court, as long as we continue to study and continue for a period of time, what kind of results can this government council achieve, I am afraid that Li Dongyang's speculation is not far away.

From the bottom of his heart, as a university scholar, Jiao Fang is also very repulsive to the Government Council, after all, after the development of this institution, it will replace the function of the cabinet.

However, when he taught his students, he could be regarded as doing his best, and once he had the emperor's will, he did not dare and could not resist; Second, his son Jiao Huangzhong is also in the School of Political Science and Law. Public and private coexist, and Jiao Fang can only put aside distractions and do her best for this.

Thinking of his son, Jiao Fang also smiled bitterly, he was also a lifter, but he was mixed in a group of fallen talents, which was really embarrassing.

But he also understands his son's choice, except for those whose families are prosperous or have become famous, after all, there are most people who have not become officials, so to speak, most scholars are actually down-and-out.

And the scholars in the world were born dependent on the imperial power, how many people can resist the temptation of the protégé of the Son of Heaven? What's more, he can participate in political dignitaries in a similar way as cabinet ministers, if he can be thirty or forty years younger, Jiao Fang can't resist asking himself.

This is not a conspiracy, but an upright conspiracy, digging into the corners of the cabinet and scholars, and making it impossible for them to speak out against it, after all, it was the emperor himself who dealt with the dignitaries on the surface, but someone helped him prepare a speech.

That's why Jiao Fang sighed, in the current situation, all the ministers of the foreign court can do is to watch, otherwise what can they do?

Mixed with those seemingly banal decisions, there are many disposals that no one pays special attention to, such as Yan Song's transfer to the household department, and then he was ordered to go to Tianjin to supervise Caoyun. On the surface, it seems that the emperor is concerned about the food problem, but Jiao Fang knows that Yan Song actually went to Tianjin to build a port.

Among the entourage, some of them were low-level officials who had defected to the imperial party, and each of them had one or two deputies by his side, all of whom were students from the School of Political Science and Law, and some of Tang Bohu's staff members assigned to him.

And the commanders of several guards in Shandong have also been replaced, although the successors have been promoted from the same place, but since they have been promoted by the emperor himself, how can these people not be grateful to Dade?

What's more, it is difficult to say whether there are other ways among them, for example, Wei Haiwei's appointment is more strange, and it is just a matter of promoting Zhao Zhong to be the commander, but the deputy commander Hu Sanniang is clearly a woman! Is that okay too? There's no weirdness in it.

Of course, no one in the court will pay attention to such a trivial matter, it is just the appointment of a few military generals, where do they have time to pay attention? But relying on these seemingly inconspicuous little tricks, the emperor and Xie Hong have completed the layout.

Jiao Fang also admired Xie Hong's strategy, and it can be said that he admired him so much. In fact, if it had not been for that natural disaster, Jiao Fang could even have asserted that August this year would be the moment when the scholars suffered a second major blow, and according to his speculation, the time for a showdown and closing the net would have been in the near future.

Because of that natural disaster, Jiao Fang had doubts, and even wavered, but after nearly a month, he slowly stabilized his position, the emperor is not in a hurry, what is he anxious about?

That's right, the emperor is now playing with the courtiers as monkeys, and when the government affairs are small, he will change his way to provoke the dispute between the imperial party and the scholar party, and then watch the excitement himself.

But Jiao Fang doesn't care, anyway, everyone is a monkey and will be gradually eliminated from the political arena, so why not end it lively? Cooperate well, at least you can give the Jiao family a head start, and as for face or something, let him go.

"The emperor drove to ......"

"Ministers......"

"Let's settle down."

The low sound of worship and the spring breeze of Zhengde form a sharp contrast, at the same time, the contrast also exists in the appearance of both sides, on one side is the old man with white beard and hair, and the old man in the twilight of the West Mountain, on the other hand, the young man in his prime, the contrast is omnipresent, very distinct.

"Today, I have a good thing to tell you, well, a great good thing......" Before the courtiers could get up, Zhengde couldn't wait.

"......" No one spoke out, the emperor's good things are everyone's bad things, because his happiness is usually based on everyone's pain. At such a fateful moment, the emperor has a good thing, which is a big bad news for everyone.

Of course, things may not be so bad, maybe the league is won, or the training is having fun, or maybe the queen is happy, these things are also good things for the emperor, and they are not bad things for everyone, especially the last one...... Anxiety and anticipation were mixed together, and hundreds of anxious eyes were fixed on Zhengde's ...... On the boots, of course, who dares to face the Son of Heaven if it's okay?

"Do you want to know what's going on?" Zhengde said with a smirk.

"Goo-dong!"

Zhang Sheng was stretching his neck in anticipation, thinking that it was a knife to stretch out his head and shrink his head, it would be better to have a simple one, but he never thought that Zhengde had sold a pass, but he fell to the ground as soon as he fell, and he didn't get up for a long time.

"It seems that Zhang Shangshu wants to know very much, alas, everything must be said to people, since you want to know, you can say it to me, if you don't say it, how will I know that you want to know? Besides, if I don't want to tell you, if you kneel down and beg me, I won't say it......"

Except for a few who stepped forward to help Zhang Sheng, the rest of the people glanced at each other, and they all had a feeling that a catastrophe was coming, obviously, the emperor was spoofing again, which means that he was in a really good mood, that is to say...... "The ministers are foolish, and I implore Your Majesty to make it clear." Yang Tinghe flashed out of class, interrupting Zhengde's entangled tirade.

"It turns out that Mr. Yang is also very gossipy, well, for the sake of everyone's sincerity, I will tell you about it." Zhengde's comment made Yang Tinghe very depressed, obviously it was the emperor, did you provoke the conversation?

"The news is from Liaodong......" Zhengde raised his hand, and the sharp-eyed one saw that he was holding a letterhead in his hand.

As soon as the word Liaodong came out, it was as if there was a gust of wind blowing in the hall, and everyone felt the chill that penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

"Xie Hong, the governor of Liaodong, has a performance, under the attention of the Holy Son of Heaven, uh, that is, me, the soldiers and civilians of Liaodong are diligent and diligent, and work hard...... Liaodong harvest! ”

The next moment, Zhengde's words verified their ominous premonition, and the last four words were like a boulder smashing into everyone's hearts, making their eyes black, their throats sweet, and their ears buzzing, except for those five words, they could no longer hear any sound and could not see any scene.
