Chapter 183: Fu Li counterattacks the emperor

When Weiqiao was asleep, Jinling set off monstrous waves.

The lockdown of the city, Fu Ming is entering the cabinet, which in itself is enough to sensationalize the government and the opposition. But then, the replacement of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department made everyone even more frightened. But as soon as the court discussion ended, there were rumors that Zhao Yuankui of the Hanlin Academy took over as the secretary of the household department, Fang Cang, the former secretary of the criminal department, was to be transferred to the secretary of the ministry, Qin Yun, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, was to take over as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Yang Zongtian, the waiter of the Ministry of War, was to take over as the secretary of the Ministry of War!

It was a thunderbolt that blew everyone up, trembling on thin ice, drowsy and groggy.

In the past, the three Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War were all concurrently served by the cabinet elders, but now in this way, they have deprived the three cabinet elders of their rights! Moreover, among them, the Book of Rites of King Jin was also deprived!

For a time, the whole Jinling turmoil was repeated, and the dark tide was surging.

"This time something big is going to happen, Feng Ge Lao Zhishi, Master Fu Mingzheng has entered the cabinet again, maybe Fu Ge Lao will be Zhishi soon......"

In a teahouse, several men surrounded each other and talked in a low voice.

"Yes, it's very likely, I heard that the emperor is going to purge the cabinet and change the cabinet elders......" A middle-aged man in white said with a stern expression.

"Yes, I once heard that the emperor has been in poor health recently, maybe he is preparing for the new emperor......" The other person also looked solemn and frowned.

"That Pavilion Elder is definitely just the beginning, and the Gao Pavilion Elder Fu Pavilion below is estimated to be soon, the Cabinet, the sky is about to change......" The last person asserted, his face solemn.

In another green building, many scholars gathered together and argued fiercely.

A young man shook a folding fan and said conceitedly, "I heard that the cabinet elder is no longer concurrently serving as the sixth ministry, this is a big deal, and the people of the sixth ministry must be dissatisfied......

"Wrong, I think, maybe the emperor is worried that they have too much power, so he cut their power ......" Another scholar disagreed, retorted.

"Impossible, didn't you find out that the officials used to be Fu Ge Lao, and it is rumored that it was Master Fang who took over, isn't it still Fu Ge Lao's cronies?" The other scoffed and sneered.

"It's polite, this turmoil, only the elder Feng Pavilion has been affected, and the other pavilion elders don't seem to have suffered any losses......" A scholar muttered to himself with a puzzled face.

"Not bad, except for one person......"

"Who, who suffers?"

"yes, why didn't I find ......"

"Could it be that the emperor can't make it, haha......"

"Hmph, listen up...... Yes, King Jin! ”

Sizzle This is a taboo topic, and when everyone heard it, they frowned and stopped talking.

In another place, a certain yamen, several small officials also gathered together and discussed in a low voice.

"I heard that there is no decision yet, but probably Tiao Chen has come out......," a clerk said slowly while lying on the table with his hands on his cheeks.

"Well, Ming said that it has not changed much, but there are some adjustments, and Fu Ge Lao is estimated to nod his head......" Another nodded with a relaxed expression.

"As soon as Fu Ge Lao promised, tomorrow's court meeting will be over...... the other said.

"Well, King Jin suffered a loss this time, and the emperor and Fu Ge Lao teamed up to pit King Jin......" This one was a little gloating, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This one also smiled and echoed, "Yes, I heard that King Jin also went to Wu Shuai's Mansion the day before yesterday, but unfortunately Wu Shuai never asked about political affairs and couldn't help him......"

"Yes, the people of King Jin in the court, this time the loss is not small, the people in the river and salt roads have been replaced, and they are all cheaper Fu Ge old ......" The last news seems to be more well-informed.

Discussions like this are almost all over Jinling.

The people below whispered privately, but these big people couldn't take care of it, running around all night, giving gifts and gifts, trusting relationships, all kinds of means, all kinds of tricks were dazzling and dizzying. Some people want to be promoted, some want to keep their positions, some want to be transferred abroad, some want to enter Beijing, overnight, Jinling is more lively than during the day.

Fu Mansion, Fu Li's study.

Fu Li, Fu Mingzheng, Fang Cang, Shi Yanqiu, Yang Zongtian, Lei Chi, Shao Yi, Niu Yilang, Lin Fengzheng...... There were more than a dozen people in a room, all talking and laughing calmly, and the atmosphere was relaxed and a little warm.

Fu Li's eyes swept over everyone, nodding and smiling unconsciously.

Fu Mingzheng has now entered the cabinet and become the seventh cabinet elder, Fang Cang is in charge of the Ministry of Officials, Shi Yanqiu is transferred to the Criminal Department, Yang Zongtian is promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of War, Lei Chi is transferred to the Ministry of Industry from other places, Shao Yi is transferred to Dali Siqing, both rights and quality have gone up a level, Niu Yilang has been promoted to the imperial history of the Imperial History Terrace, and Lin Fengzheng has been transferred to the salt transportation envoy of the salt road...... Naturally, these have not yet been formally appointed, but only one is missing.

The people here are very excited, almost all of them have been promoted, even if they have not been promoted, they have also improved their ranks, those who have not improved their power have expanded their power, and those who have not expanded their power are also full of oil and water, in short, the people here are basically more satisfied.

Fu Mingzheng was dressed in an ordinary green clothes, his expression became more and more calm and easy-going, and his body unconsciously exuded a soft and intimate atmosphere, but it became more and more awe-inspiring. Everyone nodded secretly, this feeling was extremely similar to the aura on Fu Ge Lao's body.

Fu Li swept around, held the teacup and said, "You guys came to me at night, in addition to drinking tea, I'm afraid you are also here to take refuge, right?" ”

When Fang Cang heard this, he turned his head to look at the others, and said with a smile: "I can't hide it from Master Fu, the student is really here to hide." As soon as the students returned home, the shopkeeper kicked me out, saying that I told me to come out and hide until dawn and not go back. ”

The shopkeeper of the house, this is Fang Cang's name for his wife.

Here are all people who have been dealing with for many years, and they all smile when they hear it.

Fu Li put down the teacup, looked up at him, and said, "Well, Zifu is afraid of Mrs., we all know it." ”

Zifu is the word of Fangcang.

When everyone heard this, they burst out laughing.

"Hehe, Lord Fang is now in charge of hundreds of officials in the world, and it is estimated that he still can't control his sister-in-law......

"I think so, even if Lord Fang enters the cabinet in the future, I'm afraid it will be okay to take my sister-in-law's wife......"

"Yes, it is extreme, but my sister-in-law is a woman who does not let her eyebrows, and she can hold our Lord Fang, that is definitely not an ordinary person......"

"Haha......"

Fang Cang also smiled embarrassedly on his face, he was afraid that as long as anyone with a bit of status could know about his wife, it would not be an embarrassing thing, not to mention being teased by Fu Ge Lao was also a sign of closeness, and others couldn't ask for it.

Fu Li also laughed, for a long time, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, don't laugh anymore, otherwise I won't care if the queen pays you to wear small shoes." ”

When everyone heard this, they laughed even more.

Fang Cang's own smiling face was a little hard, and when everyone stopped for a while, he restrained his expression, and said to Fu Li with a respectful face: "Master Fu, look, will things still change?" ”

Fang Cang was Fu Li's close person, so he naturally knew some secrets. This time, the emperor not only teamed up with Fu Li to calculate the King of Jin ruthlessly, but also put Fu Li together. actually took this opportunity to cancel the article that the cabinet elder was concurrently serving as the sixth ministry, which weakened Fu Li's power and influence in disguise.

When everyone heard this, they all quieted down, and looked at Fu Li with solemn eyes. They also knew about this matter, and understood that Fu Li must be very angry in his heart.

Fu Li's expression was calm, and he was not at all annoyed by the calculation. nodded with a light smile and said, "No, it's basically decided." ”

Fu Mingzheng sat on the side and didn't speak, he glanced at his father's side face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He knew that in fact, the rest might be an exchange between his father and the emperor. However, Lei Chi was transferred to the Ministry of Industry, Lin Fengzheng was transferred to the salt transportation envoy, and Niu Yilang was appointed as the imperial historian, which was actually his father's strong counterattack against the emperor. Originally, there were other candidates for these three positions, but Fu Li took them away. Although he didn't know how his father negotiated with the emperor, he could faintly feel the anger in the emperor's eyes after he walked out from behind.

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. Tomorrow's court discussion will still be very intense, but with Fu Li's words, the matter must have been decided.

"Zifu," before everyone had time to relax, Fu Li turned his head to look at Fang Cang again.

When Fang Cang heard this, he hurriedly turned sideways and said respectfully: "Master Fu just orders." ”

Everyone also looked up at Fu Li with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Fu Li groaned for a while, his eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "After you took office, you changed the history of the three states of Tanzhou, Chongzhou, and Suzhou." In addition, several cities in Quanzhou and Yanzhou have also been replaced, and we have changed our own people. ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked.

These places are all big taxpayers, Tanzhou, Chongzhou, Suzhou three states a year tax is almost the entire Jiangnan 30%, the country 10%. In the whole state, Yanzhou has developed maritime trade, and the tax is also extremely considerable. These five places, plus Jinling, are the places with the highest taxes in the entire Daqi, almost 30% of the country!

However, the important thing is that these five governors have always been appointed by the palace!

When the relationship between Shoufu and the emperor eased, he turned a blind eye, and anyway, the taxes were all allocated by the cabinet in the end. But if the relationship is stiff, the first assistant insists on being replaced, even if the emperor makes a holy decree, the cabinet has the right to dismiss it!

Fang Cang's expression hesitated slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Master Fu has decided?" ”

Fu Li nodded lightly and said, "Well, let's talk, I'll go to the Marshal Mansion." ”

Fang Cang immediately nodded and stood up to send off Fu Ge Lao.

Fu Mingzheng frowned slightly, and sighed in his heart, he knew that his father's anger was still unresolved.

This kind of thing has often happened in the past 20 years, and he is not surprised, but he is thinking in his heart, I don't know when Daqi will be able to settle down and devote himself to the people.

Fu Li sat in the sedan chair, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, from the window, seeing the clouds in the sky, there was a trace of loneliness in his expression, turned his head, and sighed to himself in a low voice: "Emperor Xian, when will the old minister complete your entrustment......"
