Chapter 384: Suppression and Promotion
After Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin and Gu Dayong away, he asked himself these words alone, and Xu Xun was naturally able to understand that the little emperor was no longer a child who was fooled at will, but gradually had the posture of the king of a country. This time, he set up such a series of sets in circles, in addition to making Dongchang a big ugly one, further losing the trust of the emperor, and beating Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, lest this uncle who always pretends to be the uncle of the little emperor and becomes a stumbling block to him in various things, which is the biggest reason.
After all, he didn't dare to learn much about Empress Dowager Zhang's temper!
"Your Majesty, if you want to say that the subordinates of the Marquis of Shouning who handled this matter are insatiable and greedy in troubled waters, and they want to make a lot of money and then flee somewhere to enjoy themselves, this must be true. But to say that the Marquis of Shouning is really clear and has nothing to touch, the minister also doesn't believe it. Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's face was a little pale, obviously very satisfied with his truth, Xu Xun followed up and said, "It's just that what is the surname of Shouninghou, the emperor should know better than the ministers." It is possible to be shoddy, but if you really take this kind of thing that can't pass the test at all, to fool Han Shangshu in the household department, and Li Mengyang, who has a grudge against him, Shou Ninghou doesn't have the courage yet. ”
Shou Ninghou only thought about his life, thinking that he could suppress Shang Jia and not rebound, if he hadn't let Zheng San see the hope of making a fortune, because of 10,000 taels of silver and being fascinated, how could this fire burn so strongly?
Although others blamed his uncle, Zhu Houzhao was not annoyed, but nodded approvingly: "You are right, he really doesn't have the guts." At most, he relied on his own uncle, deducting money from other people's merchants, and if others came up with some goods that were not up to par, he would just turn a blind eye and only reap his own benefits. Hmph, with such virtue, he still complains that I don't give him a good job, and I give him fat and he does a good job? It's not as bold as his son, he actually dares to go to the East Factory to rob people, the Zhang family is not a bad breed after all! ”
Xu Xun knew that with Zhu Houzhao's surname and his disapproval of Wang Yue, the governor of Dongchang, he said to Zhang Zong that hitting Dongchang must be more praise than criticism, so at this time, he naturally echoed: "What the emperor said is that the prince of Shouning is about the same age as the minister, and he is naturally strong in blood, so the minister dared to give him this idea. After all, Dongchang has always been the first strict yamen, which has to bear a major role. ”
"What's the first strictness, I think it's time to clean up there!" Zhu Houzhao remembered that he had a temper when he thought of the many unpleasant things in Dongchang since he took office, and he still had a bit of incense for Wang Yue and Li Rong, so he sat down, and then said angrily, "Just because Dongchang dared to detain Zheng San this time but didn't report it, Wang Yue's audacity is outrageous!" Xu Xun, I am determined to replace him, who do you say can take on this great responsibility among the people around me? ”
"Your Majesty, the fathers-in-law around you are much more able to take on this great responsibility, but although the Dongji Factory is an internal official yamen, it has always been supervised by the priest, not to mention the high grade, and it has always been the place that the adults in the court are most concerned about, and the prince has an excellent reputation among them. Besides, this time the Hou Shizi of Shouning is at fault first, I am afraid that you will remove the prince and replace it with your own people, and the snow flakes on your head will be all advice. ”
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao's face was very unhappy, Xu Xun changed his words and said: "Of course, if you want to change people and rebound less, it is not impossible. For example, let Chen Kuan, the master of ceremonies, go to supervise Dongchang instead of Wang Gonggong, and then the emperor will choose a clever and reliable person from the people around him to assist Chen Gonggong. ”
Zhu Houzhao blinked and looked at Xu Xun for a while, and suddenly smiled: "If you want to talk about ghost ideas, you really belong to the most." Well, yes, Chen Kuan is still the master of ceremonies, this batch of red things is busy, where can I concentrate on supervising the East Factory, in addition to sending someone to assist him, I simply asked Gao Banban to go to the master of ceremonies to help him and Li Bingbian. Gao Banban was originally a celebrant eunuch, and he should have hung a pen a long time ago. As for Wang Yue...... I didn't bother to pay attention to him, let this old guy go to Tailing to watch the progress! If he is not honest again, I will let him go to Tailing Sixiang in the future! ”
"The Emperor Shengming!"
Seeing that Zhu Houzhao heard his words of praise, he rolled his eyes and laughed, and Xu Xun naturally smiled slightly. He doesn't care who the nail wedged into the East Factory is, no matter who it is, he has to accept his affection.
After the business was gone, Zhu Houzhao had to pull Xu Xun to come up with the idea of what gift to give to the Empress Dowager Zhang, and Xu Xun couldn't think of a good way to do it after racking his brains, and finally shook his head as soon as he had an idea.
"Your Majesty, the Double Ninth Festival has always been the Old Man's Day, if you give any gifts to the Queen Mother, wouldn't it make the Queen Mother feel old? Instead of thinking about sending things, it is better for the emperor to personally accompany the queen mother to climb the Wansui Mountain early in the morning to see it, at that time you said to the queen mother that you will release the Hou Ninghou and the prince of Shou Ning, so the queen mother must be happier than receiving any gifts. ”
Thinking that it was really such a reason, Zhu Houzhao was happy for a while, and the little depression of the idea was immediately thrown out of the clouds. Therefore, when Xu Xun said that the small general flag that had forged the ebony card was found in Dong'anlimen, he immediately asked a few words with great interest, and learned that it was the second son of Cao Xiong, the deputy general of the town guard Yansui, and he was happy at once.
"Good, good, it's rare to have a brave young hero, deserve a heavy reward! Well, it's good to seal a thousand households! ”
As soon as Zhu Houzhao is happy, the reward will be extremely generous, and Xu Xun has long been used to it. If it is left in normal times, he has to persuade the little emperor to stay some, but he will have Cao Xiong's place to take it in the future, and if he wants to send this deputy chief soldier of Yansui to the town, he will ask for the surname to be generous, and although Cao Mi is young, he does have merit, so he smiled and thanked Cao Mi. When he resigned from Chengqian Palace, he was originally going to Xiyuan, and he deliberately went around to Dong'anli Gate, and beckoned Cao Mi over with a smile.
"Thousand Households ......"
Hearing Xu Xun say the emperor's reward, Cao Mi couldn't believe his ears. His family is a military household of Xi'an Left Guard, not a hereditary officer, and it is all because of his father Cao Xiong's solid military exploits to get to where he is today. The elder brother Cao Qian has been following his father to counsel the military affairs, and he has fought a few battles in bits and pieces, and so far he has only been crowned a deputy thousand households because of his merits. Now, he has sealed thousands of households with such a small amount of credit, which is really terrifying. Although Xu Xun didn't look like he was joking at all, he couldn't help but stammer, "Adults aren't joking with me, are they?" ”
"Who is kidding you with such a good thing?" Xu Xun smiled, and then said, "It's just that you only led fifty soldiers before, and this time you suddenly rose to a thousand households, but I can't give you a thousand, first bring a hundred people to see your ability, if not, don't blame me for using this thousand households as a hundred!" But if you do it, after 1,000 people, there will be 10,000 people and 100,000 people, just depend on your ability! ”
It was only at this time that Cao Mi really believed it, and for a while he only felt that his mood was agitated beyond measure, and he subconsciously knelt down with his left hand on his knees, and his right hand was vertical, and once again performed a standard military salute: "The humble duty will definitely live up to the expectations of adults!" ”
The little emperor forged an ebony card to enter Dong'anmen, so he blamed the defenders of Dong'anmen, rewarded the avant-garde of the government army in Dong'anlimen, and even promoted a thousand households - this series of news is really irrelevant in the minds of the bigwigs, they are more concerned about the fallacy case, but the upcoming personnel changes in Dongchang. Although the internal official yamen completely depends on the emperor's preferences, Zhu Houzhao is too young after all, whether it is the government or the military power, not to mention that it is like an arm, even too big a move will cause a considerable backlash.
"The eunuch Chen Kuan is also the superintendent of the East Factory, the eunuch Gao Fengjin is the superintendent of the ceremonial superintendent, and the young eunuch Qiu Ju is transferred to the young eunuch of the ceremonial superintendent, and the Dongchang is walking...... But let Wang Yue go to Tailing to supervise. ”
Xie Qian flicked the imperial scroll in his hand, and his face was very delicate. Seeing that Liu Jian's face sank like water, Li Dongyang didn't say a word, so he said: "Everyone knows what Wang Yue is like, even if he detains the subordinate of the Hou Mansion of Shouning without the will of the Holy Will, no matter how big his crime is, it is comparable to the Hou Shizi of Shouning who led people to hit the Yamen of Dongchang, and even openly snatched people away?" ”
"But the emperor didn't punish Wang Yue seriously after all, as long as he didn't explicitly say that he took away his pen, he was still in the ceremonial supervisor, and Chen Kuan was also the governor of Dongchang, he has always been generous and benevolent, in fact, he is more suitable than Wang Yue, whose surname is impatient."
Li Dongyang said this, but he felt a little insincere. The former criminal department Shangshu Min Qi was his same year, and he stepped down in such an unclear way, how could he not have the sadness of the rabbit and the fox in his heart. It seems that Jiao Fang has filled Min Jue's position, but this kind of filling is exactly the same as now that the little emperor has removed Wang Yue's Dongchang Governor, and then used Chen Kuan to fill Wang Yue's vacancy, the method is exactly the same!
"There is such a gangster who dares to trespass into Dong'anmen and confuse the public, and he has not found out what is going on, and it is impossible for the emperor to deal with the Zhang family again, but after this incident, Shou Ninghou has no way to interfere in any government and military affairs, and he will be more restrained, the affairs of the Zhang family, let's stop. In contrast, the change of personnel in the East Factory is small, and the Qiu Ju wedge into it is a big thing. In case Chen Kuan is sad because of Wang Yue's death, and he doesn't dare to clash too much with that Qiu Ju, when the time comes, the East Factory and the West Factory will be in cahoots, and the factory guards will be rampant during the Chenghua period, then how can we be worthy of the first emperor! ”
As soon as Liu Jian's sonorous words came out, Xie Qian immediately perked up, and immediately said categorically: "Therefore, this matter must be reversed, Chen Kuan can supervise the East Factory, that Qiu Ju is a person with shallow qualifications, how can he be qualified to get involved in the East Factory!" Let Yu Shi and the people in the matter make trouble, even if it is not on our side, how can we not be afraid of the use of factory guards? ”
Seeing that Liu Jian nodded slightly, thinking that he agreed, Xie Qian's expression perked up, and he said word by word: "Also, that Xu Xun is now in collusion with those servants in the palace, which is enough to prove that we misjudged him in the first place, and he is not the kind of minister who will only be petty...... He is clearly an ambitious annihilator! Now the emperor has built the West Garden of the Palace, the training school, and the Qiong Garden, all of which make us worthy of the trust of the first emperor. Now that the emperor has faith in him, he has been named an uncle, and in the long run, this son is becoming more and more difficult to control, and it's time to think of a way! ”
