Chapter 5 Seals are unsealable
Coming out of Zou Yi's duty room, Liu Mingguo was thinking about the meaning of Zou Yi's words, and with Liu Mingguo's intelligence, he could quickly guess that Zou Yi wanted Yue Su to go to Sichuan to suppress bandits, but what did he mean by saying this? Oh, I must have regarded me as a member of the Yue Party, and asked me to go to the officials of the Yue Party, take the initiative to write a book, and ask Lord Yue to come to Sichuan.
To go to Sichuan to suppress bandits, it is estimated that Lord Yue is also willing, Lord Yue is for the country and the people, but everything that is beneficial to the court will be duty-bound. It's just why Zou Yi is like this? Was it instructed by the Queen Mother, or did Zou Yi want to do it himself, or was it some kind of trap?
It can be said that for Liu Gonggong, if he didn't hear it and didn't do anything, then nothing would be wrong. This is also his current style of doing things. However, Father-in-law Liu wants to analyze Zou Yi's purpose.
Was it instructed by the Queen Mother? Liu Mingguo quickly concluded that the Queen Mother should not have that scheming yet, and even if it was really the Queen Mother's instructions, it was still a good thing, after all, the Queen Mother asked Lord Yue to go to Sichuan to suppress bandits, which also showed that the Queen Mother was thinking about Lord Yue in her heart, but it was inconvenient to mention it in person, and she wanted to borrow the mouth of the people in Yue's party to push the boat down the river. Liu Mingguo has always been positioned in the Yue Party, and telling himself is actually telling the Yue Party. It seems that there is no need to study this point yourself.
Did Zou Yi want to do it himself? It is difficult for Liu Mingguo to judge, Zou Yi is a famous old fox in the palace, and it is difficult for anyone to guess his thoughts. You must know that back then, Wei Zhongxian's power was overwhelming, and he almost eliminated the dissidents in the entire Forbidden City, the Wei Dynasty fell, and Wang An, who was stronger than Zou Yi, also fell, that is, Zou Yi did not fall, it is conceivable. This guy is so old and spicy. However, one thing Liu Mingguo can be sure of is that Zou Yi is loyal to the emperor.
Let's put that aside for a moment and think about conspiracy theories. What kind of conspiracy could this be? It is already a sure thing that he is Yue Dang. Otherwise, after Wei Zhongxian left, how could it be someone else's turn to be the eunuch in front of him. I am the Yue Party, the clear Yue Party, the day when Lord Yue doesn't fall, who can do anything to me? Figure this out, this conspiracy theory. It doesn't seem to be a big deal, because even if the officials of the Yue Party jointly invite the emperor. Let Lord Yue go to Sichuan to suppress bandits, it's not allowed, what can you do with everyone. If you want to do it, you will do it a long time ago, and it is impossible to wait until today, when Lord Yue has made great contributions.
It seems that let Lord Yue go to Sichuan. That's only good, and it won't hurt.
But there is one point, in fact, the officials of the Yue Party all hope that Yue will come to Beijing. Back to the center. In this way, the big guy can be regarded as the real power. But at present, it is unlikely that Lord Yue wants to come back, because not only is there a stumbling block to the three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, but the Queen Mother is afraid that she doesn't want Lord Yue to come back immediately. As a minister, Liu Mingguo can guess the queen mother's thoughts. The Queen Mother wanted to use Yue Su, but she didn't dare to reuse it. gave Yue Su too much power, and wanted to wait for his son to be older. The position is stable, and then let Yue Su come back. You can even think about it this way, if Zhang Yan comes forward to offend Yue Su, he will not let you return to Beijing, and when the emperor grows up, he will let the emperor decree that Yue Su will come back, and let his son do this favor, and you Yue Su will definitely be grateful to the little emperor. This is called the so-called Imperial Mind Technique.
Well, since that's the case, so be it. You can't just sit back and watch the Liukou conquer most of the world, making the Ming Dynasty terminally ill, so let Lord Yue heal it. As a eunuch, the big guy's mind is the same, no matter what, only by keeping the Ming Dynasty can everything be earned.
Eunuchs are not like scholars, for those scholars, no matter who is in the court, they are indispensable. But eunuchs are different, this job can be done by everyone, and if the master is changed, the new master will definitely not leave the people used by the old master.
In Liu Mingguo's heart, the company of the Ming Dynasty cannot be yellow, and must continue to work. So, Gonggong Liu returned to his duty room, casually approved the fold first, and sent someone to Zou Yi to send it back. After getting off work in the evening, Liu Mingguo left the Forbidden City and secretly went to Yang Yishan's house.
The next day, the Cabinet deliberated. The three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang did their homework again last night, anyway, they had to use various reasons to block Yue Su's way into Beijing. As long as the cabinet's opinion does not agree, the Empress Dowager will never recruit Yue Su back. After all, Zhang Yan's thoughts, the big guys all understand, they just don't want Yue Su to come back now. Zhang Yan didn't nod, the cabinet didn't reach a unity, and Yue Suxiu wanted to come back.
Today, however, the situation was unexpectedly unexpected, and the Yue Party officials did not again propose that Yue Su be sent back to Beijing, but instead brought the topic to the Sichuan Liukou.
You come and go, the big guys have been used to it in the past two years, no matter what you say, we will go toe-for-tat and never lose the position. As a result, the situation was beyond the expectations of the officials of the three parties, and the officials of the Yue Party said that if the Liukou entered Sichuan, in the next year or two, Sichuan would inevitably be mixed, and if they wanted to hold down the position, they would inevitably send a senior member to Sichuan.
According to the past, the three parties must oppose it, but the opposition also needs a reason, the general army in Sichuan has been killed, Zhu Xieyuan's side, can you still stop it, if you oppose it, then it's okay, once Zhu Xieyuan really doesn't hold it, lose Chengdu, or lose a few more important towns, then the responsibility is not all their own. Who told me to send someone over at the beginning, and you don't agree, you can carry this black cauldron.
Therefore, the three parties believe that they cannot oppose this matter, and they can only make up their minds on the selection of candidates. If there is a disagreement, it is also the queen mother's decision, and it is not our business to really lose the battle.
The two families rarely reached an agreement and began to study who to send to Sichuan. The Yue Party did not show its hole cards as soon as it came up, and first proposed a few people to come, saying that they would go to Sichuan as a guide, but they were all rejected by the three parties, and the three parties also proposed a few people, and they were also rejected by the Yue Party. In the end, Yue Dang proposed to ask Yue Su to go to Sichuan to suppress bandits. But the three parties also have something to say, let Lord Yue do something, what kind of official to be, when the strategy is still the governor, the strategy is no one, but it is a little smaller, if you Lord Yue is willing to be low, we can also do it.
Yue Dang is also not forgiving, saying that you don't need to worry about any official, let's just report it, and the emperor can give the official how he wants.
The three parties don't understand what kind of road Yue Dang is, but when it comes to this, if they want to talk back, they can't. After a little deliberation and thinking, we also proposed to let Yue Su go to Sichuan, not to mention that he should be the governor of the four provinces or five provinces, and the Queen Mother could not just give Yue Su a Sichuan governor. Let's just report it like this, if the Queen Mother is really willing to give Yue Su a governor of five provinces or something, we can't care about it, besides, if we can really give it, we will give it a long time ago, and we don't have to wait until now.
The two reached an agreement and drafted such a proposal on Yue Su's excerpt. Those who should be rewarded for meritorious deeds are rewarded for meritorious deeds, and the reward proposal of Lord Yue was approved. Lord Yue has worked hard and made great achievements, and he should also be praised, as for how to award, he did not write, after all, Lord Yue's official is already big enough, how to seal it again, Queen Mother, you can make your own decision. In the end, he said that when the Liukou entered Sichuan, the general soldiers were all dead, and the governor Zhu Xieyuan might not be able to resist it, and a heavy minister should be sent to Sichuan to supervise the suppression of bandits. The thesis Tao Wu is strategic, full of up and down, it is Lord Yue who is the leader, and it is difficult for others to be the right. Lord Yue has always been loyal to the country, and he planned to go to Shaanxi to suppress bandits, but the emperor asked him to go to Fujian and Zhejiang to suppress bandits, and now that it is done, it is better to let him go to Sichuan to continue to suppress. As for what to give, the emperor will do it yourself.
The fold was handed over, and it was handed over to the celebrant first, and Zou Yi pushed the boat down the river, saying that it was okay, and then gave it to the Queen Mother. Zhang Yan was really a little embarrassed when she saw the excerpt, this is a joint excerpt of the cabinet, although she is the queen mother, but she is not the emperor after all, and the matter jointly formulated by the cabinet is not overturned when she says it.
Of course, in addition to being embarrassed, Zhang Yan was still wondering in her heart, how did the cabinet guys reach an agreement to let Yue Su go to Sichuan?
I can't think of a reason, but the excerpt has to be approved, Yue Su has made such a big contribution, what official do you want to do? It's not easy to arrange, what is Yue Su's current official? The full name is arranged in order of size, the minister of Tuogu, the second assistant of the dynasty, the scholar of Wuyingdian, the Taibao, the prince and the prince, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the secretary of the criminal department.
The officials have done this job, how can they be sealed, and if they are given a false title, they will have to be given a title. But civil officials are not the same as military generals, civil officials do not give titles before retirement, only military generals, because the merit is too great, can reward you with a knighthood during your tenure.
Therefore, for civil officials, knighthoods cannot be rewarded at all now. Is the official position, the second assistant is the first assistant, this can't be given, the first assistant can't not serve in Beijing, this official can only be stopped. On top of the Taibao, there are also Taifu and Taishi who can be rewarded. But if you get it now, what will you do in the future? After the son officially became in power, he must transfer Yue Su back to Beijing and reward him, and his son will reward Yue Su with a Taifu and promote him to the first assistant, so that Yue Su will be grateful to Dade, which is the right way. Now, I really can't seal it. Besides, for what reason Yue Qing was transferred to Sichuan, what kind of official should he be? Governor, it is better to kill Yue Su; After a little bit, just pull Yue Su out and cut it down. It's not practical at all, even if it's the governor of Sichuan, it's the governor of two provinces to the governor of one province, which is a demotion.
Zhang Yan couldn't come up with an idea, her face was embarrassed, she looked left and right, and finally had to look at Zou Yi who was standing below. said: "Zou Yi, you have also read this excerpt, the mourning family sees that your celebrant supervisor agrees, then you tell the mourning family what reward you want to give Yue Su and what official position to add." Also, let Yue Su go to Sichuan, what kind of official will he be in Sichuan? ”
Through Zhang Yan's question, the old and spicy Zou Yi could immediately understand that the Queen Mother could at most reluctantly let Yue Su go to Sichuan, and as for the title of Governor of the Five Provinces to Suppress Bandits, she would never give Yue Su. Seeing the Queen Mother's thoughts, Zou Yi was unhurried and said his words of response.
