Chapter 783 Tingtui (I)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

"It's entirely possible." Seeing that everyone looked incredulous, Wang Yin said: "Tingtui is secret, no one knows who voted for whom, then everything is just speculation." ”

"What's in it for him?" Everyone looked at Wang Yin in puzzlement.

"But it's good for Zhang Juzheng." Wang Yin said: "In this way, he can join the pavilion with the adults." "In addition to the court push, the emperor can also bypass the ministers and directly issue a decree to appoint scholars. It was a shortcut, but the emperor rarely exercised this power. This is not because the emperor has the consciousness of not interfering with the government, but in fact because even if the emperor is willing to give, the ministers are not willing to ask for it.

The officials of this dynasty have always been very disgusted by the emperor's direct interference in political affairs, and they only accept the results of the court. They despised those colleagues who were disgracefully appointed by the emperor directly...... It's not that you can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, but a collective character of the civil bureaucracy, which is a guarantee that they can share power with the emperor in a country where imperial power is supreme and there are endless kings.

Therefore, many people would rather not be promoted than accept the emperor's decree. Of course, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and it is difficult to ensure that someone is embarrassed, and they must take this shortcut to get promoted to become rich, but don't forget, the emperor's holy decree is not invincible, and the cabinet and the six departments still have the right to refute it, so they can completely return the will and prevent people from breaking this rule.

However, the current situation is that the official of Kedaoyan is looking forward to Xu Jie's horse, and it is impossible for Gao Gong in the cabinet to directly oppose it, so Wang Yin believes that Zhang Juzheng is still very sure of entering the cabinet by relying on the central purpose...... Of course, in order to reduce the pressure of public opinion, it is not surprising to pull Shen Mo to wade through this troubled water.

Everyone felt that there was such a possibility, Shen Mo felt a little bored in his chest, brushed his lips and whiskers with his hand, looked at Wang Yin and said, "Do you think Zhang Taiyue can accept it?" Ask yourself, Silence will not accept this form of progress with many hidden dangers, and he would rather give the impression of cherishing feathers.

"He had no choice." Wang Yin said in a cold tone: "Those who achieve great things are not informal, since this road can be passed, why doesn't he take it?" After a pause, he said: "It's just an adult, eighty percent of them are going to suffer with him......"

There was silence in the study, and no one spoke, lest they disturb their silent thoughts. After a long time, he stood up, pushed open the lattice window behind him, and the cold air entered the hall, scraping the paper in the study with a rattle. Feeling a little clearer, he closed the window again in silence, sat back on his seat and said, "It's raining in the world, my mother wants to get married, and we can't control what others do." Just when everyone thought he was discouraged, they saw him raise his eyebrows, and said arrogantly: "But no one wants to manipulate my fate, I will only enter the cabinet with dignity."

Everyone looked stunned, knowing that the adults had made up their minds. Who knew that Shen Mo glanced at Wang Yin, and said with a faint smile: "Shiyue Gong, you have succeeded." ”

"Hehe......" Wang Yin smiled and didn't answer, everything is self-evident......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the end of a series of celebrations, the festive atmosphere has not yet dissipated, and the attention of the Beijing officials is attracted by the upcoming court push. Although the first assistant and the second assistant recommended Zhang Juzheng and Shen Mo respectively, but on the day when the results of the court push came out, no one dared to guarantee who would spend these two places. Many people think that the Duke of Puzhou, who had regrets last time, will make a comeback and occupy a place.

But soon, Yang Bo's mansion released a word that the Duke of Puzhou would not participate in this court push as a candidate, please don't make a mistake in love. Lao Yang Bo is full of words, of course, he is not joking, saying it like this is tantamount to withdrawing from this competition. Many people were surprised, but on second thought, he also had no choice.

Because the official department is the head of the six departments, once Yang Bo enters the cabinet, he will immediately go hand in hand with Xu Jie, and the second assistant Gao Gong can only be behind, which must be unacceptable to Xu and Gao. So either give up the ministry, or choose to enter the cabinet, you can't have both. But after the last setback, Yang Bo's enthusiasm for entering the cabinet has faded - it is a ghost place where the status is determined sooner or later by entering the door, is it possible that with his own seniority and status, he still has to rank behind Gao Gong, Guo Pu, Li Chunfang, and other juniors? Rather be the head of the chicken than the queen of the ox, it is better to take the Shangshu of the Ministry of Heavenly Officials as a good thing, besides, the next year is the Jingcha once every six years, what does the Jingcha mean, the old Yang Bo, who has been immersed in the political arena for decades, is very clear. He knew that as long as he made good use of this opportunity, he would be able to fight against the cabinet, so why bother to go to Baba to suffer that bird's anger?

But the reason why he announced his withdrawal so simply was because he had already negotiated with his in-laws Xu Ge Lao, as long as he withdrew and voted according to his request, the post of secretary of the military department would be succeeded by Wang Chonggu. can exchange a chicken rib for a piece of fat, Yang Bo thinks that this is a very cost-effective business. But he can't let Zhang Juzheng be so happy, so he wants to make a big fuss about rewarding the silver - he knows that Zhang Juzheng will be forced by the situation and reluctantly accept it, but in this way, the old princes, hundreds of civil and military officials, and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp will be gone, and it will depend on how he copes with it.

This is not Yang Bo's small belly and chicken intestines, and he will be revenged, but how many years of experience in leading troops tells him that if he does not retaliate against the offender, more people will offend him. Of course, the means must be hidden, and they must not damage their own image, otherwise the gains outweigh the losses. So at this moment, Yang Bo is having a headache for one person - that is, the little Yu Shi Zhan who reprimanded him in person.

On that day, on the Golden Palace, Lao Yang Bo was swept away by Zhan Yangpi, and as a result, people watched the joke on the spot. Later, when he attended the celebration in place of Shen Mo as the secretary of the military department, he always felt that others looked at him a little strangely, and from time to time there were cold words in his ears, which seriously damaged his prestige and self-confidence...... This is also one of the reasons why Yang Bo announced early that he would withdraw from Tingtui.

But he had no way to take this Zhan Yangbei, because the other party was a Jinshi of Jiajing for forty-four years, and he only entered the officialdom last year, and he was just the lowest-level inspector of the imperial history, but he was clean and innocent, and his official position couldn't be lower. This kind of stunned youth is actually the most difficult to deal with, because you can't find the handle of this kind of person, and you can't unreasonably oppress people, otherwise it will leave people with the impression of 'domineering' and 'bullying the small with the big', but it will arouse the rebellious psychology of many people and protect the 'persecuted little role'.

Yang Bo was like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't have a seizure, his subordinates were naturally beaten, and several people were scolded by him because of a little mistake, and they all hid far away. Fortunately, a big man came to visit, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief......

"Who provoked the Duke of Puzhou, who was so atmospheric?" A loud voice, with a strange appearance, is none other than the crown prince Taibao, Wu Yingdian scholar, and cabinet deputy assistant Gao Gong Gao Suqing.

"Hehe......" No matter how angry Yang Bo is, he can't shoot towards Gao Gong, so he can only smile bitterly: "Let Xin Zheng see a smile, a little jumping clown, not enough to worry about." ”

"Oh? Could it be that he is sympathetic to the same disease? "Gao Gong seems to have always been an alley to drive pigs, straight to the point, never around the bend.

"Hehe......" Yang Bo just laughed, in fact, he acquiesced. He finally realized the pain of being entangled by Yanguan, and Gao Gong had already fallen into a sea of suffering, and Yu Xianyu died.

Gao Gong and the officials had a bad relationship, and the fuse was Hu Yingjia's impeachment, although because of the alternation of imperial power, those vicious accusations could no longer threaten him, but under someone's attention, the officials did not let him go easily. Not only that, but they also dug deep into the details and spared no effort to continue to discredit the high arch...... Hu Yingjia was originally Shuli, only said that Gao Gong left Da Nei at night, and did not specifically say what he was going back for. But because of Gao Gong's argument, in order to explain why he moved his family to the vicinity of Xiyuan, there is a sentence 'the courtier's family is poor and has no children', which means that he lacks the manpower to transport goods, so he moved to the nearest house. But the word 'childless' was grabbed by someone and arranged for him to be absent from work in order to go home and have fun with his concubine, in order to have children

The more the rumors spread, the more evil they became, and later they became 'Gao Gong Sunrise Royal Maiden, and returned to Zhishe at dusk', that is to say, Gao Gong went home during work hours to announce Yin during the day, and did not return to Zhilu until the evening to spend the night. has been completely reversed from the truth. But the rumors have noses and eyes, but the high arch can't be justified, otherwise the more you argue, the darker it will be, and the more you laugh.

He didn't tell the truth, but he didn't hinder the onlookers from making up the fragrant plot, and as a result, he had a reputation for being lustful. Especially the common people who don't know the truth, they ask directly: 'How can such a pervert blend into the ranks of university scholars and become a national leader?' 'Smashed the face of the high arch.

Gao Gong has always cherished his reputation, but his reputation has been ruined like this, and his resentment in his heart has not been raised. Thinking of what happened to him, it was much worse than himself, Yang Bo's mood was much more relaxed, he wanted to make his injured heart better, the best way was to be worse than himself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"These imperial historians are too disagreeable," Gao Gong reprimanded angrily: "The imperial court set up a speech official, originally to correct the good and evil, to clean up the evil, but now they don't distinguish between loyalty and treachery, don't ask right from wrong, just blindly speculate, and sell their names"

Perhaps it was to establish empathy, Yang Bo felt that he was too right, and couldn't help nodding and said: "Yes, it's a group of vicious dogs that bite indiscriminately."

"Well said, even the emperor has become their target, and these people will not be able to rectify it," he said, took out a book from his sleeve and said: "Look at it, this is the ...... that the emperor transferred to the cabinet."

Yang Bo didn't want to take it, but when he looked at the name, it turned out to be the 'Zhan Yangpi' again. As soon as he saw this name, he was angry, and immediately took it, unfolded it, and couldn't help but drop his jaw - this Zhan Yangpi is really bold, he dares to say anything

It turned out that this Zhan Yushi didn't know where to hear that the queen had recently fallen ill, and the reason for her illness seemed to be the discord between the husband and wife, because it was said that the queen did not live in Kunning Palace now and moved elsewhere. It is said that those things in the Forbidden Garden of the Deep Palace have always been secretive, and the news from the small road is not credible, at least it cannot be used as a material for the performance. But he believed it, and he also said something to the emperor about it - ask the emperor to let the queen live in Kunning Palace, persuade them to live in harmony with their husbands and wives, don't keep making the queen angry, in case the queen is angry, what can you do.

Of course, he also knew that he had committed the taboo of snooping on the 'palace affairs', so Yan Ming was 'risking death to write a book', but he was afraid that the emperor would be dizzy and really click on himself, so he emphasized that he was 'good at death', that is to say, if you kill me, I will be greater, for the sake of your reputation, it is better not to kill me.

This is not a rude movement, what is said is the truth, and after Longqing received it, he was very annoyed but inconvenient. If Jiajing is replaced, no matter what 3721, he will definitely push the sparse person out of the noon gate and serve the court staff. Ke Longqing is not Jiajing, not only did he beat people, but he also had to criticize it with his own hand for the sake of royal decency: "After serving me for many years, I have been sick recently, and I have moved to another official, but I am sick. You don't know what is going on in the palace, and you don't want to investigate it. Not only did he not pursue it, but he also patiently explained the reason for the separation from the queen, which is really a rare good temper.

But if Long Qing really didn't mind, he wouldn't have transferred this book to Gao Gong again. That obviously means that I've been bullied like this, and you have to take care of it.

It's not easy to manage the matter of criticizing dragon scales. Yang Bo muttered: "The cabinet means ......"

"It's going to be Jingcha soon. This is an opportunity to distinguish between the virtuous and the unscrupulous......" Gao Gong said slowly: "Although Kedao has the responsibility of Jingcha to pick up the legacy, it should also be included in the review and should not be left out. ”

Yang Bo was silent, of course he was willing to take the opportunity to rectify the speech officials, but according to the rules, the speech officials were not within the scope of Jingcha, and if he rashly proposed it, he would definitely be drowned by those spittle stars who scolded the gods. He didn't want to be used as a gunman, so he asked, "Is this what the emperor meant?" ”

"No, it's mine." Even if it is, the high arch can't admit it.

"Oh......" Yang Bo paused for a long time, and then said carefully: "What Xinzheng said is naturally very reasonable, and I am very willing to do it, but the officials are not in line with the system, and the officials will definitely say, 'If the government is always inspecting the government, then how can the power of the government to supervise the government be exercised?' Won't it be a problem for the cabinet when the time comes? ”

"Is the official an official?" Gao Gong said coldly, "Why can't you be included in the list of Jingcha? The official is the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and he should be fair, correct lawlessness, and admonish power; However, there are some unscrupulous people who are willing to be private eagles and dogs, who have no rulers, have evil intentions, have nothing to do, and are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"What does Xu Ge Lao mean?" Yang Bo was moved, but he was still far from action.

"I mentioned it in the cabinet, and he didn't say no." Gao Gong said in a muffled voice. That's enough, because his remarks are eighty percent what Xu Jie wants...... Xu Jie wished that he could add fuel to the fire of the battle between Gao Gong and Yanguan. But Gao Gong didn't care, what he wanted to persuade was Yang Bo: "What do the officials want to do, why do you need to listen to the cabinet?" ”

"Having said that...... Yang Bo smiled and said, "But I have always respected Yuanfu, and he must have a clear attitude." ”

"Why do you have no eyes?" Hearing him say this, Gao Gong said angrily: "It's not good for you to respect anyone, you have to respect him, you are really grateful to Dade for being sold"

"Please Xin Zheng Shenyan" Yang Bo's face sank and said: "Xu Ge Lao is sincere and loves me, and it is useless for Ge Lao to say more"

"It's really ......" Gao Gong looked at him with a look of 'you are so pitiful', "If he really loves you sincerely, the position of second assistant of the cabinet will not fall to me." ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Bo said with an unkind expression: "You have made your words clear" After all, he is a handsome man who is decisive in killing, and he can really scare people when he has a seizure.

"What are you talking about?." However, Gao Gong was not frightened, he sneered: "You don't want to think about why you didn't get into the cabinet." ”

Yang Bo's thoughts went back to half a year ago, the biggest setback in his life, and the biggest doubt - at that time, the emperor made an exception to grant him the position of Hanlin Bachelor, in order to make him eligible to enter the cabinet? But when he passed the court push, he was crossed out of the list by the emperor again, why the emperor reversed his word and did not give an explanation, this mystery has always been in his heart, and he can't figure it out.

Of course he guessed that it should be Xu Jie's troublemaker, but the two sides were originally an offensive and defensive alliance, and Xu Ge Lao swore that he would definitely help him enter the cabinet, and he was very sorry afterwards, saying that the emperor's illness was mostly caused by the pill, so he was moody and unpredictable, and if he had to replace you with Li Chunfang, it was useless for us to persuade him.

Because during Jiajing's serious illness, except for Xu Jie, there were no foreign ministers, so although Yang Bo didn't believe it, he had no evidence to expose him, so he could only be suspicious. Later, when he saw that Xu Jiezhen married his only woman to Zhang Siwei, he no longer doubted him; In addition, after the great victory, he excused himself again, and Yang Bo was even more relieved, so he also agreed to Xu Jie's request this time.

But now that Gao Gong's old matter is brought up again, the scar in Yang Bo's heart has been revealed, and the tip of his heart twitches with pain: "What evidence do you have?" ”

"There were no foreign ministers present at that time." Gao Gong said lightly: "But it doesn't mean that no third person heard." ”

"You mean......" Yang Bo was shocked: "Huang Jin beside the first emperor?" ”

"Hehe......" Gao Gong replied, "Anyway, I don't believe it, it was done by the first emperor in a coma." ”――

Partition -

The officialdom of Jialong's friends is such a mess, and it always takes a fight before the strongest can stand out and display their talents. In fact, at this time, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Yang Bo, Zhang Juzheng and others were mostly positive figures in history. But in order to seize or retain the power of the **, often mobilize people's most hidden and despicable sentiments, these famous in history, brilliant in the annals of the great figures, will also use power tricks to kill the enemy invisibly.

But they will not ignore the interests of the country because of the power struggle, in fact, everyone wants the country to move forward according to their own plans, rather than thinking about how to fill their own pockets, which is also the biggest difference between the ministers at this time and the Yan Song era.
