Chapter 33 All the Way
If you want to exterminate Liaodong, it is definitely a systematic project, and it cannot be achieved by doing it in Liaodong. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info King Zaijin has a very clear understanding of one thing, that is, all the dynasties with strong opponents are all dynasties with strong monarchs and clear internal affairs.
Needless to say, the Tang Emperor and the Han Dynasty took the three major expeditions of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty as an example, why could they agree? It is because the state has the money to support a large-scale war.
But what about the current imperial court? Not to mention smashing pots and selling iron, it's almost the same, and having no money is just one of them. During the Wanli period, Zhang Juzheng reformed, and there was no party dispute in the court, although after Zhang Juzheng's death, the reform party was swept away, but there were officials in the court!
What now? What are these officials in the court doing again? Party strife, attacking each other, constantly framing and digging pits, and excluding dissidents.
What is the treatment of those who do not fight in partisanship and do not collude? It's not that I'm being excluded and suppressed, and I can't live at all. The ministers who are dedicated to serving the country are like ashes, countless people have resigned and returned to their hometowns, and the court is full of people who have worked hard to make camps.
The sages who serve the country and the people are not appointed, but they are traitors and villains in the court, and these people are all good at fighting, but there is no good hand at doing things, there are good hands at doing things, and there is no good heart for doing things, and all that little mind is on fighting for power and profit, and seeking personal interests for themselves.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Wang Zaijin didn't speak, Tian Ergeng asked helplessly.
"I'm wondering when there will be a place for neutral people to stand above the court!" Wang Zaijin sighed, and said helplessly: "Now the court situation is disturbing, and it is too difficult to do something and someone is hindering it." ”
Tian Ergeng smiled and said indifferently: "If a neutral person wants to gain a firm foothold in the court, it is actually very simple, as long as he can do a little, then it will be fine!" ”
"Will the plan be released?" Wang Zaijin looked at Tian Ergeng and hurriedly asked.
Tian Ergeng now also very much hopes that there will be neutral people in the court, so that he can transfer firepower, and at the same time, he will have more room to turn around. He offended the Donglin Party to death, and immediately turned his back on the eunuch party and attacked his own people, if there was no new force to intervene, his fate would be miserable.
"To recommend a neutral person to the emperor to join the cabinet, of course, his qualifications must be old, his prestige must be enough, and he must be able to gain the emperor's trust!" Tian Ergeng said with a smile: "If there is such a person who raises his arms and shouts, naturally neutral people will be attached, and when the time comes, the court will be three-legged, and it will no longer be you or me, then it will be easy to do!" ”
"You said lightly, where to find such a person?" Glancing at Tian Ergeng, Wang Zaijin said disdainfully.
Tian Ergeng smiled and said lightly: "If I don't tell you, you won't know that I have been a Jinyi guard for so many years, can't I find such a person?" Let me tell you, I have two candidates who are very suitable, as long as you can nominate to the emperor, then that's fine! ”
looked at Tian Ergeng suspiciously, Wang Zaijin didn't expect him to be so concerned about this matter, but after thinking about it, he understood that he was killing two birds with one stone.
Glancing at Tian Ergeng angrily, Wang Zaijin opened his mouth and said, "This is Tian Boxian's idea for you again, right?" It's a pity to be a good scholar, not to get famous, but to follow you! ”
Tian Ergeng smiled and said lightly: "People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, and I am just a last resort to protect myself, do you still want to listen to it?" ”
"Say!" Wang Zaijin glared at Tian Ergeng and said angrily.
"The first person is Yuan Keli!" Tian Ergeng said confidently: "What do you think? ”
Wang Zaijin was stunned, he never thought that Tian Ergeng would mention Yuan Keli, although Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong are very close, but for Yuan Keli's character, Wang Zaijin still recognizes, he is not the kind of person who excludes dissidents.
"Yuan Keli was a scholar in the seventeenth year of Wanli, and he was the first official of Suzhou Prefecture. In the twenty-third year, he was promoted to supervise the imperial history, and on the ninth day of the first month of May, he was punished for his direct advice. On the tenth day of the first month of the twenty-fourth year, he was finally dismissed and returned to his hometown for twenty-six years. ”
"On August 17 of the first year of Taichang, Shangbao Si Cheng, on the fourth day of February in the first year of the Apocalypse, he was promoted to Shaoqing of the Division, and on July 16 of the same year, he was promoted to Shaoqing of Taifu Temple. On the seventh day of March in the second year of the Apocalypse, he was promoted to the political envoy Zuo Tongzheng, acting as the secretary and serving the scripture feast, and on March 14 of the same year, he was appointed as the official of the court to read the papers, and on the tenth day of April of the same year, he was the governor of the imperial history of the right capital. Saying this, Tian Ergeng stopped.
His eyes lit up, Wang Zaijin looked at Tian Ergeng and said: "Yuan Keli is really a wonderful move, even if he can't be a cabinet scholar, I have to recommend him to be the governor of Denglai!" ”
"Figured it out?" Tian Ergeng smiled: "You are going to Liaodong, the most worried person is only Mao Wenlong, if you don't move Mao Wenlong, it is not enough to deter the army, if you move Mao Wenlong, then the Tartars have no worries, North Korea has taken refuge in the Tartars, and Mao Wenlong can't afford to lose." ”
"When Yuan Keli was the governor of Denglai, he was very good at Mao Wenlong's cut-off, if Mao Wenlong was the most jealous of whom, it would definitely be Yuan Keli. If anyone knows Mao Wenlong best, it must be Yuan Keli, whether it is as a cabinet scholar or as a governor, Yuan Keli is enough to deter Mao Wenlong, and you can mediate from it at that time, at least don't worry about Mao Wenlong being disobedient. ”
Sighing, Wang Zaijin said to Tian Ergeng: "This time I will go to Liaodong Mountain, high water and far away, the situation is complicated, how about you hand over Boxian to me?" ”
Tian Ergeng glared: "Don't even think about it, I also need Boxian in the capital, without him, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life, if you want him, you want my life again!" ”
Wang Zaijin once again sighed that Tian Ergeng's life was good, it was really rare to have such a capable staff member and be loyal to Tian Ergeng. If you have such an understanding person by your side, it will be much easier.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Zaijin said: "Yuan Keli was unjustly dismissed for 26 years in his early years, and served as the teacher of the first emperor after his comeback. Looking at the ministers of Denglai in the governor's festival town, Yuan Keli is the only governor of Denglai who starts from the overall situation and effectively supports Mao Wenlong for a long time. ”
However, Yuan Keli and Mao Wenlong also had irreconcilable contradictions, Mao Wenlong was already a warlord at that time, but he had no foundation.
Yuan Chonghuan's killing of Mao Wenlong was also based on this, in order to restrain Mao Wenlong, Yuan Keli checked his battle report and military salary, which made Mao Wenlong jealous. Song Zhenhan, a member of the eunuch party, and Song Shixiang, Fang Youdu, Pang Shanglian, Li Qiaolun, etc., of the Donglin Party in the same year, took turns to maliciously attack Yuan Keli, so that the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't look past it, and openly blamed him for his grievances: "The minister goes to stay and listen to the referee, and the official should be in general, and there is no need to criticize it in a chapter." ”
Because the official forgot to attack nonsense, "I didn't listen, and I used Ping Liangong to add a rank to the military department." ”
At that time, the party struggle between the DPRK and China had reached a fever pitch, and Wei Zhongxian also wanted to get rid of Yuan Keli to cut off Sun Chengzong's right-hand man and achieve the goal of weakening Sun Chengzong's power.
Yuan Keli maintained the overall situation of Liaodong, and he had done his best to support Mao Wenlong, even in this case, he did not "obstruct his eyes", but "soften his bones", and waited modestly to persuade Mao Wenlong "courtiers do not bully". He believes that Mao Wenlong's existence is related to the overall situation of the Mingjin War, and it is not something that can be replaced by just someone. In order to avoid falling into endless internal friction, he finally chose to "retire after success", but Emperor Tianqi attached great importance to Yuan Keli's role in Denglai, and resigned seven times in a row.
Yuan Keli went, Mao Wenlong was invincible, and was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, which led to a series of tragic events later, which may have been something that Mao Wenlong himself did not expect.
"So what? At the beginning, Yuan Keli was dismissed, although we were behind the scenes, the initiator was Mao Wenlong! Tian Ergeng said disdainfully: "You go to Liaodong, it is not easy to subdue Mao Wenlong, and launching Yuan Keli will only be good for you, no harm!" ”
"But he is approaching and Sun Chengzong is all the way!" Wang Zaijin sighed, and it was a little difficult to make a decision for a while.
Pouting, Tian Ergeng said in a deep voice: "Why are you at odds with Sun Chengzong?" It's because of the affairs of Liaodong, it's for righteousness, not for personal enmity, and your king has become a villain in Jin? People say that the internal move does not avoid relatives, and the external move does not avoid hatred, you Wang Zaijin can't do it? ”
"That's what Baehyun taught you, right?" Wang Zaijin glared at Tian Ergeng: "Don't pretend to be a civil official with righteous words, it's disgusting!" ”
With a wave of his hand, he knew that he couldn't hide it from Wang Zaijin, Tian Ergeng continued: "Taking advantage of Sun Chengzong's failure to protect Yuan Keli, you can come forward to let Yuan Keli remember your favor, and you can also ease the relationship between you and Sun Chengzong through him." ”
"This time you went to Liaodong and grabbed Yuan Chonghuan's position, Sun Chengzong's attitude is also very crucial, what he wants to do is to be the secretary of the military department." Tian Ergeng said cautiously: "You don't want to be hindered by the military department after you go to Liaodong, right?" Yuan Keli can still help you. ”
Wang Zaijin's brows were gloomy, he really didn't have a good impression of Sun Chengzong, and he knew that what Tian Ergeng said made sense, but he couldn't accept it emotionally for a while.
"If you were the secretary of the Ministry of War, you could prevent Sun Chengzong from going out, but now that Sun Chengzong is the secretary of the Ministry of War, some things have to be put aside." Tian Ergeng continued to persuade: "It is better to settle the grievances than to settle them, let alone in the officialdom. ”
Turning his head and staring at Tian Ergeng for a long time, Wang Zaijin said in a deep voice: "You recommended Yuan Keli like this, do you know that Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong are not from you all the way?" ”
With a self-deprecating smile, Tian Ergeng said, "All the way? When did I go all the way with the minister? I and the eunuchs in the palace are all the way! ”
