Chapter 258: A Contest in the Dark

Zhu Youzhen had already received Jinyiwei's secret recital, and he had always been a little hesitant whether to summon Su Tiancheng.

Dong Chang's opinion was to suggest that Su Tiancheng should come to the capital, report all the situation, and put forward further ideas, but Wen Tiren's opinion was different, thinking that Su Tiancheng had been to the capital several times, and it had only been more than a year since he came to Jiangning County, and other officials would have opinions if he came to the capital so frequently.

Zhu Youzhen believes that there is some truth in what Wen Tiren said, so he has not made up his mind for a long time.

The conversation between Su Tiancheng and Zhang Pu, the views expounded, he completely agreed, to say that Su Tiancheng's understanding is even stronger than Zhou Yanru, but unfortunately Su Tiancheng is too young to enter the cabinet, and it is not very suitable to be placed in the capital, and the party struggle within the imperial court, he is clear, if Su Tiancheng falls into it, the situation will not be good.

Wen Tiren has just taken office, and sometimes, Zhu Youzhen still has to take into account the face of the first assistant of the cabinet.

As for the changes in some officials within the imperial court, this is a very normal situation, he will not feel strange, after all, Wen Tiren has to use people he knows and trusts, and officials trusted by Zhou Yanru will definitely be excluded, such as Chen Yutai, the current situation is very bad.

Of course, all this must be within one's own control.

Four months into his tenure, Wen Tiren seems to be complacent.

The clean-up action has already begun, and the first target is Chen Yutai, who was revised by the Hanlin Academy.

The relationship between Chen Yutai and Zhou Yanru is an in-law relationship, if it weren't for this relationship, the champion would not be Chen Yutai, and Chen Yutai had been on a show, and while defending himself, he also impeached Wen Tiren. Of course, such officials must be eliminated, at least they can't stay in the Hanlin Academy, and they can't stay in the capital.

Chen Yutai has already made a performance on his own and asked to be released.

Wen Tiren didn't reply for a long time, pressing this twist. If you want to be released, I'm afraid it's not so easy, and I also want to go to Nanzhili, what do you want to do, Zhou Yanru is also in Nanzhili, Chen Yutai's hometown is also in Nanzhili, if you go back to Nanzhili, wouldn't it be against the rules of the imperial court, and Chen Yutai would have to think of it.

According to his meaning. It is best for Chen Yutai to go to the north, to the Jiliao area, or to Shaanxi, Shandong and other places, or to go directly to Fujian and Sichuan. The arrangement of official positions is also simple, Chen Yutai was revised from the Hanlin Academy of Liupin and arranged to go to the state capital. To be a fellow knower, it is also from the six products. As long as he says hello secretly, Chen Yutai can't care about anything, and he won't think about it for the rest of his life.

Wen Tiren's key consideration is still Su Tiancheng.

Before, he thought that Su Tiancheng was young, no matter what. It will take at least ten years to have a chance to get ahead, and at that time, I was also in my seventies, so I couldn't care so much. Judging from the current development, there are some problems with his own prediction, and what Su Tiancheng did slowly began to involve the overall situation of the imperial court.

This is something he does not want to see.

You Su Tiancheng will build Jiangning County in general, it doesn't matter, as long as you are limited to Jiangning County, limited to Yingtianfu, don't consider the overall affairs of the imperial court.

has been in the officialdom for a long time, Wen Tiren has his own judgment on these things, the emperor trusts Su Tiancheng, Su Tiancheng is too young to be promoted quickly, but according to this trend, it will not take a few years for Su Tiancheng to threaten his position.

Therefore, he was opposed to whether to let Su Tiancheng come to the capital.

didn't get the news for a long time, and Su Tiancheng was also a little anxious.

It's already October, Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, it seems that there is a bigger move, as if to launch a huge denunciation action across the country, this is not a good signal, with his own strength, Su Tiancheng can not prevent the emergence of this situation, only the establishment of the Society, a tooth for a tooth, with the way of others to govern their bodies, is a good way to deal with it.

It is said that Qu Qingze's report is already very detailed, and the suggestions are also good, the two have discussed together, there should be no accidents, they have never taken the initiative to ask, to go to the capital, this time to take the initiative to ask, do you still encounter any problems.

The vast majority of the gentry and wealthy households in Jiangning County began to sell grain in accordance with the requirements of the county government, and all the processes were operated with the assistance of the county government's household houses and grain houses, but there were also a few almost, and there was no action.

The implementation of the policy must be coherent, if it is said that the gentry do not act, the impact is very great, the rest of the gentry and rich households who have already moved, found that they do not sell grain, there is nothing to do, they will definitely not act in the coming year, and the rest of the orders issued by the county government, they will not be able to manage their finances.

But at this time, Su Tiancheng can't make any moves.

The key is that Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society are eyeing each other, and they have always wanted to find trouble.

Qu Qingze entered the third hall.

Before Su Tiancheng could speak, he spoke directly.

"My lord, there is no news in the capital, and the emperor has not yet made a decision, what the specific situation is, and the lower officials don't know what to do."

"I know this, can you think of a way, continue to play the twists and turns, explain the situation, the focus is to emphasize the situation in Jiangning County, the problems faced, individual gentry and wealthy households, slow to act, the impact is very great, if the county government does not take the slightest action, will not lose its prestige."

"If you think of this matter, it's very simple, leave it to me, there will be no problem."

"You can't do this, since the matter is public, just do it according to the open method, that is, you want to do it secretly, and you must also grasp the initiative, otherwise you will lose a big one because of a small one."

"My lord is just too cautious, what is Zhang Pu, but he is the person in charge of the Restoration Society, does the Restoration Society dare to do it against the government, Xia Guan feels that the more times like this, the more he must let him know how powerful he is."

Su Tiancheng shook his head, Jin Yiwei's means, he knows the way, if he targets those stubborn gentry and rich households, the effect is definitely there, but now he can't do this, this kind of means can only be used when he has to do it, and today's opportunity is to grasp the initiative from a moral height, such an opportunity cannot be available all the time.

"It's not the time yet, you can't do this, what Zhang Pu said, as well as some actions behind it, you all know the way, what they did in Donglin Academy and Fushe, everyone is in the eyes, some people are already dissatisfied, Huang Daozhou left Donglin Academy, it is the biggest impact, if we also do it according to their means, what is the difference with them, we must not only be stronger than them in terms of strength, but also in the moral height, completely defeat them."

"What do you mean, do you see them making a move and not making any reaction, this will not work, these scholars in the south, who like to make trouble, will attack them in groups at every turn, and the government is not good to interfere too much."

"Hehe, I've already thought about it, looking for you, there are two meanings, first, you will report the situation of Donglin Academy and Fushe, including the situation of Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi, to the above, although the prediction, they are ready to take action, second, you need to grasp their actions in detail, and at the appropriate time, reveal them to the outside world, create the illusion of their internal disclosure, and let them vigorously make trouble and rectify the inside."

Qu Qingze thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face.

"My lord, Xia Guan really admires it, you have thought of these methods."

"What's this, there are more ways, I can think of it, if it weren't for the reputation of the county government and the government, at this time, Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society would have been in chaos a long time ago."

After saying these things, Su Tiancheng smiled and spoke again.

"Lord Qu, Jiangning County is far away from the capital, a lot of news, it is impossible to know the Dao, if you know something about the Dao, you must tell me, this is not a big deal, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, there are already people paying attention to Jiangning County and the Jiangning camp, if it is too closed, I don't know the Dao."

Qu Qingze smiled wryly.

"My lord, you don't know Lu Dao, Xia Guan came to Jiangning County, what is his duty, according to the practice of Xia Guan, if in the past, I don't know where Lu Dao was exiled, this more than a year, following the adult, doing a lot of things, the emperor is very satisfied, so he will tolerate it, this news in the court, Xia Guan naturally does not know Lu Dao."

Su Tiancheng sighed lightly, the internal rules of Jinyiwei are very strict, for more than a year, Qu Qingze has completely become his confidant, and he must have known the Dao, and there has been no punishment, which also shows that the emperor is satisfied, and there is no meaning to blame, but there is such a situation, and other problems have also appeared, that is, it is difficult to clarify the Zhilu Dao, and there are some things in the court.

It is impossible for Dong Chang to directly transmit any news, and Su Tiancheng does not want to hear what Dong Chang says, if Dong Chang speaks, it must be a big trouble.

Qin Sande has already arrived in Nanjing, and it is impossible to know so much news.

As for Xu Eryi, Weng Tongzhang and others, their positions are not very high, and they have not been able to enter the decision-making level, plus they are officials of the imperial court, and their understanding is different, so they will not talk about small things at will, let alone talk about government affairs at will.

Chen Yutai and Wu Weiye and others, it is impossible to count on it.

is still the same sentence, there must be gains and losses, I am in Jiangning County, I am doing a good job, away from the disputes of the imperial court, and I will not get involved in it, but I also have to pay a price, that is, I can't grasp the above situation, and I can only decide some things based on my own judgment.
