Min and Liu stopped, and the flower hall of Liu's mansion became cold and silent.

Everyone is here today, and it is secondary to comfort Liu Daxia, the most important thing is actually how to deal with the current situation. Seeing that no one spoke, Xie Qian had no choice but to say again: "All of you are the pillars of the imperial court, and at this time of the storm, you should make more efforts, let's discuss it and discuss a charter." ”

Although Xie Qian proposed twice, everyone present was silent and refused to speak.

It's not that everyone suddenly realized Xie Hong's benefits and wanted to reconcile, or that there was really no way. The people who can appear here are all old bureaucrats who have mixed up in the officialdom, and they have a lot of experience, if they follow the number of roads in the officialdom, everyone can come up with dozens of ways to deal with Xie Hong.

But after thinking about it carefully, they found that Xie Hong was completely different from the opponents they had met in the past. Although this young man's behavior is very messy, but this style of acting makes it impossible to deal with it, as the saying goes, punching the master to death, this is probably the current situation.

The other party doesn't follow the routine of officialdom with you, no matter how good the tricks are, it won't work!

Impeachment is the most used trick in the Korean dispute, but what is the result? All the officials of Kedao Yan went into battle, but they were fiercely put on a beating. It's been almost two months, and the Imperial Envoy of the Left Capital, Lord Zhang, still hasn't cheered up, and now although he is here, his eyes are very empty.

There were a lot of impeachments after that day, and the officials were all powerful, and the impeachment was written in a mess, but the emperor just didn't accept it, so what about impeachment?

Shilin Qingyi is also a sharp weapon often used in court battles, which can be called invincible, and in ordinary times, even if the official does not appear, as long as the public opinion between the government and the opposition is together, the person who becomes the target will definitely be disgraced.

Of course, this trick is useless, Xie Hong is not a scholar at all, and his highest fame is just a showman, and he has nothing to do with Shilin or anything. And although he is young and weak, he has a good surname, or he is very thick-skinned, even if he is pointed out by a thousand people, he is still immovable.

It is most convenient to directly use power to convict, everyone knows that using power to kill people is both convenient and fast, and the twelve people here combined, this trick has been used for an unknown number of times, of course, it will not be unexpected.

But no matter how powerful they are, even if they are greater than the emperor, they are all unspoken powers, and they can only be said behind their backs. If it is more obvious power, it is naturally more righteous and virtuous. Isn't the military department planted on power today? was smashed by Xie Hong with a bunch of holy decrees.

There are also people who can suppress Zhengde on this, but Empress Dowager Zhang is a quiet surname, not a major event that can shake the country, I am afraid that I will not be able to move this mother.

Xie Hong's trick is not difficult to deal with, as long as the court uses this as an excuse to continue to restrict the emperor's central decree, but now he can't use this matter to find the queen mother. Without the Empress Dowager's will, who can overwhelm Zhengde in the power of the open?

After thinking about it repeatedly, there was no suitable and appropriate way, and everyone dared not speak rashly. That Xie Hong is a madman, he is still a hedgehog, he will hit him, once he can't make a contribution in one fell swoop, he will be counterattacked, and the way of counterattacking is also messy and unreasonable, but it is very sharp...... For example, poor Liu Shangshu, his lifelong reputation was ruined, Shi Wenyi and Sun Song were even more devastated mentally and **, and everyone had a clear judgment in their hearts: if they are not completely sure, it is better not to face to face with that Xie Hong.

Normal methods will definitely not work, and the crux of the problem lies in the relationship between Zhengde and Xie Hong: if you want to deal with Xie Hong, you have to make Zhengde bow his head; But with Xie Hong's assistance, Zhengde's attitude was very tough.

In this way, things are difficult...... It's not that there is no way at all, the first to be unstable was Liu Daxia, the last court meeting and today's events have stimulated this military secretary a lot. Seeing that no one responded at this time, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Today, I am mediocre, and there is a annihilation on the side, if the three pavilion elders agree, this official is willing to be a pawn and wait for dispatch!" ”

He didn't say it explicitly, but what he meant was understood by all the people present, not only by understanding, but by all the people who had thought of it. But this can't be said explicitly, and only a person like Liu Daxia, who is known as reckless, dares to point it out, because if he says this, he is not far from rebellion.

This is the most straightforward way: Xingyi soldiers, Qingjun side! Forcibly transfer troops to force the palace!

Although the Beijing camp is in the hands of Wenchen, if it is transferred without the holy decree, no matter who he is, he will not be able to escape the charge of conspiracy.

Therefore, although Xie Hong had a headache, before and today, no one mentioned the proposal to mobilize the Beijing camp and encircle and suppress the Fusi of Nanzhen. The reason is very simple, Zhengde will not agree, the emperor will not agree, and the unauthorized transfer of troops is a rebellion.

There are exceptions, such as the change of seizing the door during the Jingtai period! The method of forcing the emperor to bow his head by force is not that no one has used it, and the principle of political power coming out of the barrel of a gun is also not invented by later generations; Throughout the thousands of years of Chinese history, this truth is reflected everywhere, and the cabinet and Jiuqing of the Ming Dynasty naturally understand the truth.

It's just that if you really want to launch an action on the side of the Qing monarch, then the aftermath will be troublesome. Either wait for the emperor's revenge afterwards; Either change the emperor, there are only these two ways to go.

Of course, the emperor's revenge will not kill anyone on sight, and he usually takes the lead in cleaning up, so Liu Daxia just looks reckless, but in fact he is fine. He made a proposal, but he only said that he did what he did, and let the three scholars take the lead, and it was naturally not him who was unlucky afterwards, but he was wishful thinking.

"Today, I am still young, and it is common to be impetuous and jumpy, how can I talk about mediocrity? Liu Shangshu lost his words, don't mention this again! "No one is stupid, Shoufu Liu Jian is even more human, where is he willing to take Liu Daxia's words, come out like this?

The rest of the crowd also sneered, laughing at Liu Daxia's instigation being too superficial; laughing at the hypocrisy of Scholar Liu again, at this time, he remembered that the emperor was young, but when he usually taught, he asked for a strict attitude and a strict attitude, thinking that others didn't know?

Everyone was sneering, so no one noticed that Zeng Jian, who had always had a wooden expression, was also sneering at this time, and he was smiling meaningfully.

In fact, taking the lead in the actions of the Qing Jun side is not all bad, because after clearing the Jun side, you can also change someone to sit on the dragon chair by the way, so that you have a great merit of supporting, which is equivalent to the credit of Qingtian's protection, which is the most prominent! Wasn't that the change that took the door back then?

If there is a choice, will Liu Jian push it back? If there is such a risk, will Zeng Jian not remind Xie Hong?

No, of course not.

Although the merit of supporting the establishment is good and great, the difficulties are even greater. The biggest problem is the selection problem, Zhengde's background is very different among all the emperors, because he is an only child.

In ancient times, there was no family planning, and the emperor's family was even more impossible, and the head of it was Liu Sheng, the king of Zhongshan Jing of the Han Dynasty, that is, Liu Bei's ancestor, who is said to have more than 100 sons...... But Hongzhi is an outlier, he only has a wife for Queen Zhang, and he only has a son for Zhengde.

Therefore, the courtiers had to frustratefully hate that they were born at the wrong time, if Hongzhi and the King of Zhongshan Jing were replaced, and catch up with today's situation, it would be much easier.

Of course, the emperor has no brothers, which does not mean that there is no solution. Zhengde has no brothers, Hongzhi has it, and it can even be traced back further, there are few others in the world, but there are many clans everywhere, don't you pick one from it and end it?

But in this way, it involves the second big problem, that is: the ministers are not monolithic.

Min Jue and Liu Daxia do not deal with each other, in addition to the issue of surname, but also because the status of the military department and the criminal department are comparable. In the Yongle period, the scholar was originally just a five-grade official, equivalent to the emperor's documents, and the prime minister was abolished during the Hongwu period, so he became the sixth ministry and nine secretaries, that is, he reached the apex of civil officials.

However, after the civil fort, the power of the nobles and military generals was greatly damaged, and the civil officials took the opportunity to take the position, and the scholars gradually became the nameless prime ministers.

As a result, the six departments and nine Qings also have a channel for rising. And the promotion of officialdom has always paid attention to seniority, and everything has to be done step by step, even if it is a university scholar, an official position without a name, such as: you need to be born in Hanlin, not to mention Jinshi and first, and so on.

Although the six parts are one, they are also divided into high and low. The Ministry of Rites is the nominally highest, the Ministry of Officials is the leader in substance, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Household are about the same, the Ministry of Household has a slightly higher status because of the abundance of oil and water, and the Ministry of Industry has nothing but oil and water, ranking last.

If you want to become a university scholar, you probably have to go to the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the most direct competitor is someone with a similar status to yourself. Therefore, Liu Daxia and Min Jue, Han Wen and Zhang Sheng, are not very compatible with each other.

In addition, in addition to direct competitors, there are also people who occupy positions, or potential ...... By extension, it can be said that when you enter the court, your opponents will be everywhere.

In such a situation, if you deal with the Son of Heaven or the Son of Heaven's close ministers, everyone can barely work together, but if you support such a big thing, then these people will immediately be torn apart. Even the merit of killing Xie Hong can work Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department, to rob it in private, let alone support such a supernatural achievement?

If Zhengde has a brother, and he hasn't left Beijing yet, then it's easy to do, since everyone can reach a consensus that Zhengde is mediocre, then there is no choice to support the prince.

But since there is none, then it is troublesome, there are many vassal kings, and there are too many, if everyone here says the candidates in their hearts, I am afraid that there will be more than five choices.

Li Daxue's ancestral home is Huguang, so it is more related to Xingxian. Of course, the Great Ming Law forbade courtiers to make friends with vassal kings in private, and no one saw them; Naturally, Scholar Li would not break the ban, and no one dared to say it.

Scholar Liu likes antiques more, but that hobby burns money, and King Ning is said to be very rich and very acquainted, so he ...... Xie scholars and acting kings, scholars followed...... In short, each has its own advantages, and so on. has no natural reputation, even King Ning, who is blooming everywhere and giving gifts everywhere, can't make most of the courtiers like him. When people talk about the matter of support, naturally there will be no unanimous opinion.

These relationships are intricate, and it is difficult to explain clearly, but Zeng Jian has been silently observing in the court for decades, but he knows it in his heart, and he also analyzed it to Xie Hong, and Xie Hong also made a plan according to this.

As long as he doesn't go too far, the strife between these courtiers will not be resolved, and he will be able to take advantage of it. As for the arrogance of Shi Wenyi and Sun Song, it was also deliberately done by Xie Hong, he just wanted to make others afraid, so that before anyone wanted to calculate him, he had to think about it carefully.

So far, his move has been successful, at least Liu Daxia was frightened by him today, and he didn't dare to play at the last moment. In fact, if he really showed up, Xie Hong wouldn't dare to beat him, this old man is seventy years old, if he is killed, it will be a dead book! Even if you don't kill it, how can you fight it casually?

I have never been a big official, and I have always seen a big official run, Xie Hong understands what the six Shangshu mean. If it is a later generation of tide stalls out of Beijing to wander around, it is not a matter to be a county magistrate; Playing a mayor can also be smoothed out; But if it's a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee or something, or simply bigger, he won't be able to bear it even if it's a tide file.

Such heavyweight officials can only be outwitted. If it is really done, Zhengde's support is likely to be useless, and Empress Dowager Zhang must also come forward.

Xie Hong's madness was pretended, which frightened many people, but he himself was very sober, he relied on Zeng Jian's analysis, knowing that in the current situation, as long as he was not too qualified and approached the other party's bottom line, the civil official would not be desperate.

Zeng Jian's analysis is correct, and Xie Hong's countermeasures are even more effective.

After Scholar Liu expressed his attitude, Hubu Hanwen also opened his mouth in a deep voice: "This matter has also been discussed before, and it has only been more than a month since then, so the effect of that method is slower, and I want to come to the palace There are also some savings, but it seems that there is no need to make branches, right?" ”

These days, Han Shangshu is beautiful and has a headache, but he is still quite complacent about his proposal, and he also feels that Liu Daxia is really too much, and he deserves to lose face.

Although everyone didn't understand the truth of boiling frogs in warm water, they all agreed with Hangul's proposal. Slowly tightening the noose, and finally forcing Zhengde to be cornered, is better than making trouble directly now. Zhengde has become a strong point, and Xie Hong is a hedgehog, so why bother to be tough with them?

Liu Daxia is dissatisfied, isn't he what Hengsheng is talking about? The old man sneered: "It's good that Han Shangshu is confident, but I'm afraid things are not so smooth, although the main hall has been frustrated today, but there are also some discoveries, maybe Han Shangshu has your ...... method."

"Oh?" Han Wen looked at Liu Daxia in amazement, although the others didn't say anything, they all watched.

Liu Daxia saw that everyone was stunned, he was slightly proud, and with a flick of his long beard, he was about to speak.

"Okay, everyone has to do another battle of words, Han Shangshu said that the previous proposal is very reasonable, there is a lot of controversy, and it will be said when the court meeting is held, and it will be dispersed today." Everyone looked at each other in amazement, but saw that it was Li Dongyang who spoke before Liu Daxia.

Although his words were very abrupt and everyone was suspicious, among the people, only Liu Jian was above Li Dongyang, but Liu Jian was silent at this time, and everyone was speechless, and they all got up to say goodbye and left.

Liu Daxia was unwilling, but he saw Li Dongyang lose a look, although Liu Daxia was still a little unconvinced by Liu Jian, but he admired Li Dongyang very much, knowing that Li Dongyang's move must have some reason, so he did not raise any objections.
