Chapter 367: One Stone and a Thousand Waves
According to Xie Hong's concept, letting go is only the first step, and then the opponent's reaction is the focus. [Full text reading]
If the Jiangnan people's reaction is not too fierce, or if they express their intention to negotiate to themselves, then they might as well make a compromise and have an exchange of political interests. Although he doesn't like this kind of thing, and he is not good at it, but in the court, he has to pinch his nose and do something against his will, which is politics.
If the other party reacts violently, then Xie Hong will have to use the back hand he conceived, that move is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is a little too intense, and there is a lot of risk, but that countermeasure is in the field he is good at.
Xie Hong couldn't say what kind of reaction he expected from his opponent. According to his heart, he still wanted to choose a more direct method, but it was related to the safety of the world, so he still listened to Zeng Jian's advice, carried out the sea opening step by step, and left the other party plenty of time to think.
However, Wang Shouren's upward sparseness broke the calm situation, and the wind and waves under the surface of the water were released at once.
Wang Shouren's recital was handed down step by step, and in fact, many people had the opportunity to block it. But Cao Yuan, the new secretary of the military department, is a person who has no opinions, and he has not been included in the core by Xie Hong, so he can only guess Xie Hong's intentions based on the situation outside.
He felt that since Xie Hong was letting off steam, he must have this idea, and he knew that Wang Shouren was also a person who didn't follow the rules very well, maybe he really got Xie Hong's instructions, so he was sparse. With such an idea, how dare Cao Yuan stop the other party?
And the situation in the Wenyuan Pavilion is even more complicated. Jiao Fang's thoughts are similar to Cao Yuan's, and he won't make any moves; And with Jiao Fang's containment, Li Dongyang and Wang Wei can't act arbitrarily. No matter what kind of thoughts he has, in short, no one will say or do anything to this letter, so that it will be sent to Zhengde smoothly.
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the news of Wang Shouren's invitation to open the sea soon spread throughout the government and the opposition, shaking the capital and causing an uproar.
Because Wang Shouren is not a secret music, the people also quickly got the news, the more people involved in the yamen, the worse the secret surname, not to mention that this matter is related to the hot topic in the capital, and there is no need to keep it secret.
With the previous rumors, although most of the people watched the excitement, there were a lot of people who were full of expectations, and most people's minds were active.
Some of the surnames were in a hurry and even packed their bags, planning to leave Beijing to grab the first prize, if they hadn't gotten the permission to open the sea to the port of where it was, I'm afraid these people would have already set off.
Although the southern distributors of Zhenbao Zhai have suffered heavy losses recently, what kind of goods were those people before they didn't follow Xie Hong, don't you know when you are everyone? Don't look at all of them are complaining about hardship, but most of them are pretending to be pitiful, and they just want to get some discounts and other benefits from Jumbo Zhai.
Although there are a lot of people who are really determined to leave Zhenbao Zhai, those people are definitely not the mainstream, and most of them just don't go there for the time being, waiting to see the wind.
Now Xie Hong has come up with new tricks. You can earn with the wind of the plague god, and the more you follow the front, the more you earn, this is already the consensus of the people of Gyeonggi, even if you don't like Xie Hong, you can't deny this, many of them still plan to follow behind to get a piece of the pie, no one can't get along with gold and silver.
Even if they don't dare to go, those who watch the excitement are actually happy to see it happen. As long as someone goes, after a few years, there will be a quasi-letter, and it will not be too late to join when the time comes. Although the income is high with the front, the risk is not small, although wealth is the risk, but as the old saying goes, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years.
The reaction of the government and the opposition was much more intense, except for some people who had nothing to do with themselves and watched coldly, and a few people who gloated, most of them were angry, angry and angry, some wept bitterly, and some scolded loudly, showing off the appearance of all beings in the officialdom.
Most of the people who have nothing to do with themselves are not of high grade, the power of the official is small, and the corresponding value is not high, and the people of Jiangnan will naturally not come to woo them, since there is no self-interest involved, except for those diehards who have broken their brains and are crippled, most of these people have maintained a neutral posture.
In the past, this kind of thing might as well be added to shout a few times, and it can be regarded as a clear name, but now, the times seem to have regressed to the Hongwu and Yongle years, and this kind of limelight is still less good.
The magistrate can follow the crowd to find trouble, and the emperor can't settle them one by one for a while, but the emperor can do whatever he wants with the one-third of an acre of land in the capital, and he doesn't have his own interests in it, and he makes trouble for the interests of others, so what kind of stupidity does he have to be?
Schadenfreude was mainly caused by officials from Shanxi, and similar to maritime trade, border trade was a traditional industry that was banned by the imperial court but smuggling flourished.
Of course, the oil and water in this are not as good as the sea trade, there is no way, if the Tartars are not poor, why do they have nothing to rob all the time? You must know that robbery is not a business without capital, the capital is your own life, every time you come to the Central Plains, the Tartars have to leave a lot of corpses, instead of retreating.
After all, there are some special products on the grassland, cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock are also scarce in the Central Plains, and the profits of border trade are also quite good, and most of the officials in Shanxi are rich and generous.
However, a mountain is even higher, compared to the rich in the south of the Yangtze River, Shanxi people really can't get this little thing, and they are red-eyed, and they don't use their brains to try to plug in.
But Jiangnan people are all shrewd to the bone, where are they willing to lure wolves into the room? They wooed the court officials, mostly in the mode of marriage and shares, but the operation was not allowed to interfere with the other party, and most of the other party did not have that **.
Shanxi people are different, these people also started in business, one is more slippery than the other, let these people join in, isn't that nonsense? Therefore, the relationship between the two sides is very ordinary, Shang Shu Hanwen and Shilang Gu Zuo have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, if it weren't for the sudden appearance of a Xie Hong, the household would have had to have a dragon fight.
The main force of the opposition was the Jiangnan people, and the assisted people were the scholars of Guangdong and Fujian. In addition to them, there are more people who are waving the flag and shouting, and they have received the benefits of others, and the future can be expected.
Although the momentum was loud, no one dared to point the finger at Xie Hong, although they all believed that the other party planned this matter. Just as in the Hongwu and Yongle years, in the face of a strong monarch, hard resistance has never been the royal way, and it is the style of a gentleman to overcome rigidity with softness.
To put it bluntly, they have been frightened by Xie Hong's thunderous methods, including Liu Daxia and Gu Zuo, there are dozens of officials above the fifth rank who died under Xie Hong's knife, and hundreds of people who dismissed officials, who would rise to the occasion under such a storm?
So, the scholars changed their strategies, and only then did they have the previous tricks, and Xie Hong and Zhengde were also able to enjoy all the treatment enjoyed by the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty, well, it was a full meal, but the two of them would not be happy because of it.
The courtiers' target was Wang Shouren. In their eyes, Wang Shouren's behavior is really rebellious, and he can even be called a dictionary forgetting his ancestors! You must know that Wang Shouren is also a native of Jiangnan, and his son Wang Hua is now serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Education in Nanjing, which is a real Jiangnan lineage, what is this not disobedience to the ancestors?
Unlike Cao Yuan and others who don't know much about Wang Shouren, there are many Jiangnan scholars who are familiar with Wang Hua and know Wang Shouren's spleen and surname very well, this person is not a person who will tend to be inflammatory, he doesn't have that tendon in his head at all, otherwise he should have been attached to Xie Dashi a long time ago.
Therefore, with these causes and consequences, the attack on Wang Shouren will be successfully completed, will that Xie Hong support an irrelevant person at this juncture? Even if he didn't want to, Scholar Wang had already sent a letter to Scholar Xie who was in Jiangnan, and presumably Scholar Xie would have made a decision.
This method of reporting disasters and famines is just a small skill of carving insects, if someone thinks that our Jiangnan Shiren skills stop here, then he is very wrong! Maybe Xie Hong will not be able to protect himself at that time, how can he still have time to deal with everyone?
The court, which had been silent for a long time, boiled again, and the impeachment was surging like a tide, and the Beijing officials seemed to want to vent their depression for several months.
The response of the palace was very strange, Zhengde did not thunder and rage, and launched a liquidation revenge against the relevant people; did not push the boat down the river and take Wang Shouren down, these swords were like stones into the sea, leaving no trace at all, let alone causing any reaction, but made the foreign dynasty very uncertain.
In fact, Zhengde has little time to pay attention to these things, the playoffs of the Major League Baseball are in full swing, the goal is the best pitcher, and Zhu Houzhao, the league's most valuable player, is busy. I have already lost a lot of time because of the Romance of Navigation, and now I have to make up for it with extra efforts.
As a result, Xie Hong became the auxiliary minister, but he didn't have a good way to deal with it for a while. The situation is a little out of control, he doesn't care, anyway, he has already made preparations, and if it's a big deal, he will break up in two, and directly zoom in on the move to see who can have the last laugh.
What worries him is how to face Wang Shouren.
Whether in later generations or in history, this Mr. Yang Ming is a famous person, and even Xie Hong, a historical white, is also familiar with it, and there is no doubt that he is an extremely excellent talent.
And unlike Yan Song, who only has the talent of a politician, and Tang Bohu, who is simply famous for his literary talents, this powerful person can be a man who can be a man of letters, a man who can stabilize the country with martial arts, and even has a very high value of his own force, it seems that it is a little insufficient to describe him with talent.
For such a god, Xie Hong, who was short of people, of course wanted to win him over, especially since the other party seemed to show his intention to move closer to him. His hesitation during this period of time was because he was thinking about what means to use to win over the other party.
Three visits to the thatched house?
Folded knots?
Spit and shake your hair?
Allusions turned endlessly in his mind, of course, whether these methods were good or not, he had no confidence at all. This person's fame and ability are undoubted, but the most important thing is that he can't touch the other party's thoughts at all, so he can't adopt a strategy for the surname, and he must be cautious when wooing such a person, so as not to waste the opportunity and be bad.
