This is a battle for the dignity of civil servants. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Others may not know, but Xie Shen knows it very well. Just after the impeachment of the Eight Tigers in this book, Xie moved to Shi. Only Li Dongyang is struggling to support him in the cabinet.

And the Eight Tigers led by Liu Jin were completely unsuppressed, and they were beautiful for a long time.

Xie Shen really didn't want to express too much opinion on this matter, after all, Gu Dayong and him were political allies.

And as far as the general trend of history is concerned, it is only a matter of time before an old man like Xie Qian of the Hongzhi Dynasty is replaced by a newcomer.

"Han Butang, this matter is very important, let's think about it in the long run."

Xie Shen's statement surprised Han Wen very much. He said in a trembling voice: "So, Xiao Ge always doesn't plan to sign it?" ”

Xie Shen said embarrassedly: "Han Butang, Xie doesn't fight unprepared battles. ”

Han Wen is also an old man who has been in the sea for many years, and immediately understood what Xie Shen meant, and did not continue to embarrass Xie Shen, but only sighed and said: "If Xiaoge doesn't do this matter, someone else will do it." I'm afraid that I won't regret it at that time. ”

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Xie Shen sighed secretly, you don't understand my thoughts.

......

......

Han Wen and his foreign ministers jointly signed a letter, coupled with Xie Qian, Li Dongyang cried and admonished, Emperor Zhengde was indeed a little confused.

The Son of Heaven even hesitated a little, whether the Eight Tigers he favored were really so unbearable that he caused a lot of scolding.

Seeing that the situation was entrusted, Liu Jin, the head of the Eight Tigers, couldn't sit still.

He saw the opportunity to run to the Son of Heaven and cry, which made the Son of Heaven feel compassion.

Liu Jin is the old man who served by his side when he was preparing for the East Palace, and it can be said that he has worked hard.

Just because of the impeachment of civil officials, Emperor Zhengde was a little unbearable.

He comforted Liu Jin, saying that he would have a plan for this matter, and told Liu Jin to be calm and not impatient.

Liu Jin understood the mind of the Son of Heaven best, and knew that this matter was done, so he thanked the saint and left.

Sure enough, the Son of Heaven turned a blind eye to the letters of the ministers and the cries of the two ministers, and did not punish the Eight Tigers in any way.

Seeing that the Son of Heaven was shielding the eunuch like this, all the officials were extremely disappointed.

Some of the senior officials of the ministry have been sick and have refused to go to court, and there are even more radical beggars who write books.

The so-called Tao is not the same, and this is especially true between the courtier and the monarch's father.

Among them, there is the cabinet deputy Xie Qian.

As the second-in-command person second only to the first assistant Li Dongyang, Xie Qian's influence in the court can be described as huge. As soon as he was on the book, even Emperor Zhengde was a little panicked.

The Son of Heaven also wondered if his approach was too much, and even led the second assistant to beg for bones.

The Son of Heaven hurriedly sent someone to appease Xie Qian, but Xie Qian's attitude this time was very resolute, saying that he wanted to return to his hometown to retire when he was old.

In desperation, the Son of Heaven had to summon Xie Shen, a cabinet scholar.

As the auxiliary minister of the East Palace that year, Xie Shen was the most trusted minister of Emperor Zhengde. Whenever he encountered something difficult to decide, the Son of Heaven would always summon Xie Shen to ask for advice. This time is no exception.

Xie Shen had already prepared his rhetoric and was waiting for this opportunity.

He knows that success or failure is a matter of success, so he rehearses every sentence to make sure it works.

When he came to the palace, Xie Shen immediately bowed down and asked the Son of Heaven to keep Xie Cifu.

The Son of Heaven was a little stunned, and hurriedly helped Xie Shen up and said, "Sir, what are you doing?" I called Mr. to ask how I could keep Xie Cifu. ”

"Your Majesty, do you know why Elder Xie Ge decided to resign this time?"

Emperor Zhengde frowned and said, "Naturally, it's for Liu Jin." Mr. Xie should also know that Liu Jingu used them to be old people who had been waiting with me since the East Palace, and they had no merit and hard work, and they softened their hearts when they cried like that. ”

Xie Shen sighed in his heart, the eunuch's favor is all the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, this bitter meat trick has to be used. Only by using the bitter meat trick and using it well can we maintain the holy grace.

"Your Majesty, the minister naturally knows that Gonggong Liu has no second thoughts about His Majesty, but they are just the top priority of the country, and it is not enough to be loyal at some time."

Xie Shen set up a trap and waited for Zhengde to jump in, but who knew that the emperor really took a breath and said, "Mr. Xie is saying that Liu Jin is leading me astray?" ”

Xie Shen nodded and said, "I heard that the ancient Ming Jun was able to distinguish between loyalty and treachery. If Your Majesty wants to protect the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, you need to know people and make good use of them. Liu Jin's generation can only be reused, not reused. ”

"Can only be reused, not reused?"

Zhengde was puzzled: "What does Mr. mean by this, and what is the difference between the two?" ”

Xie Shen was waiting for the emperor's words, and immediately explained: "Your Majesty, it is important to leave the tedious and tiring things to one person. It is reused to entrust the world's major affairs to one person. ”

Zhengde is talented and intelligent, and after hearing it, it was like being struck by lightning, and he was silent for a long time.

"Sir, mean, I used the wrong Liu Jin?"

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, eunuchs have held power in their hands, and they are not auspicious."

Xie Shen followed the good path.

"I understand, what Mr. means is that Liu Jin's generation can be used, but it must be used in the right place, and you can't mistake Jiangshan Sheji."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Emperor Zhengde is a typical shun donkey, and everything has to follow him. If you insist on disobeying him, it is likely to backfire.

Xie Shen saw through this, so he did not jointly write a letter to impeach the Eight Tigers with those old puppets in Hanwen.

This kind of thing is not too much, and there is no less person.

Xie Shen didn't think that if he was alone, Emperor Zhengde would change his opinion.

And if you change your strategy and make Zhengde have an epiphany, the situation will be different.

To put it bluntly, the Eight Tigers are the house slaves of Zhengde. As long as the house slave does not interfere in the affairs of the court, but only eats, drinks and serves Zhengde, it is not unforgivable.

The civil officials' fear of the Eight Tigers is more because of the sharing of power.

Liu Jin and Gu Da used an east factory and a west factory, like two giant pincers to clamp down on hundreds of officials, so that their words and deeds were imprisoned.

In this case, it is not difficult to understand that the officials below are huddled together to remove these two giant pincers.

"Your Majesty, ...... there?"

"Sir, rest assured, I have a sense of proportion. is as loyal as Xie Cifu, I am reluctant to resign and return to his hometown. ”

Xie Shen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't want Xie Qian to resign at this time, the reason was very simple, if Xie Qian became a minister, Xie Shen would succeed him as the second assistant. And Xie Shen has just joined the cabinet for less than a year, and his experience is almost zero. If you catch the ducks on the shelves, you are too busy to say that it is likely to go wrong.

On top of that, the position of the secondary assistant is too dazzling, and in many cases it will be pushed to the cusp.

Take this time when hundreds of officials wrote to impeach the Eight Tigers, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian both went to the palace to cry, but Xie Shen did not express his position. If he becomes a secondary assistant, it will never be possible to stay out of it again.
