Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the fourth year of Longwu, before Chinese New Year's Eve, the cabinet made a contribution.
Plugging Yinxi was promoted to the head of the household department, and Zong Mao was promoted to the governor of Nanzhili. Xu Yiyang was promoted to a deputy general and went to serve under Hu Guangxiao Zhiyan.
The change of the two civil officials is the result of balance, if Du Yinxi is not promoted to the cabinet scholar, Chen Zilong may not agree to Zong Mao becoming the governor of Nanzhili so smoothly.
Now that the cabinet is becoming more and more powerful, Sun Jiaji is over seventy years old, but he was temporarily pulled over by Zhai Zhe to save the emergency, and many people have long been eyeing the position of the head of the household.
Letting Plug Yinxi enter Beijing is balancing the forces of the Donglin Party, the Zhejiang Party and the General's Mansion. The Donglin Party had an advantage in the center, but the chief officials of Huguang and Nanzhili were replaced by people from the general's mansion.
Zhai Zhe is only a general of the King of Jin, he can influence the government, but he cannot decide the government. Even if it is the emperor, the balance of the courtiers must be considered, otherwise there will be no dispute between the eunuch party and the Donglin party during the Apocalypse. Chongzhen has been the emperor for more than ten years, but in fact, he only chooses between Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru.
In the cabinet, Sun Jiaji and Qian Sule are both members of the Zhejiang Party, Zhang Guowei and Chen Zilong are the Donglin Party, and Fu Ma Shiying was once scolded as a eunuch.
People who only look at the surface can't imagine that in the cabinet, in fact, Fu Ma Shiying's position is the most stable.
The person involved in the assassination was either killed or imprisoned, and he not only escaped, but also sat firmly in the auxiliary position.
He spent countless sleepless nights, and finally figured out why Zhai Zhe didn't move him.
Because he is a eunuch.
He is a eunuch who is incompatible with Donglin, in fact, he himself doesn't understand why he became a eunuch. I think that back then, when he was the prefect of Xuanfu, he was framed by Wang Kun, the eunuch guarding the town of Xuanfu, and was dismissed. More than ten years later, he became the governor of Fengyang because of the power of Zhang Pu of the Restoration Society, but he was spurned as a eunuch.
Sometimes it is not up to you to decide which path you want to take.
After thinking about it, Ma Shiying lived a relaxed life every day. He doesn't have to think about monopolizing power now, and he doesn't have to worry about state affairs. As long as the tone of King Jin is found out and the expansion of the Donglin Party is blocked in the cabinet, his power can be guaranteed. Zheng Zhilong, Wu Sangui and even Chen Bangbo of Guangxi have heavy gifts to send to the cabinet assistant's mansion every New Year's holiday.
Although Chen Zilong is the official secretary and the in-law of the King of Jin, at the moment of power, the King of Jin cannot fully trust him
There is a Xuanwu Fang by the Xuanwu Lake.
After the suppression of Hefang on the banks of the Qinhuai River, it became one of the most prosperous places in Nanjing.
The people who can walk into the gate of Xuanwufang are not official and rich, this is a place where ordinary prodigal children can come.
Outsiders think that Xuanwufang is the property of King Jin, but in fact, Xuanwufang is the property of Fan Yongdou, the brother-in-law of King Jin. Liu Quan, Zhai Tang and other people of the Jin dynasty often used this place as a meeting place. The wealthy businessmen of Jiangnan regard this place as the center of communication.
However, it is rare for the Donglin scholars to come here.
Xuanwufang covers an area of nearly 200 acres, divided into different areas, there are places to have fun, and there are also elegant courtyards.
A courtyard near the east side of Xuanwu Lake has the best view, and in the eyes of the guests who enter and leave the Xuanwu Fang, it is mysterious and full of temptation, and it is said that it is only used to entertain the most distinguished guests. The wealthy merchant who could enter and exit the gate of that courtyard had at least three or four hundred thousand taels of silver.
Today, there are no wealthy merchants here.
It's just a family gathering.
The green leaves of the osmanthus tree set off the residual snow, and the plum blossoms are exuding a faint fragrance.
Fan Yongdou was making tea, and after coming to Jiangnan, he seemed to have found the feeling of being at home in Zhangjiakou again
The boiling water washes away the hairy tips, steaming hot, and contrasting with the snowy scene.
Life is a bet, and the most successful bet he has made in his life is his sister.
A man with a thin face and a gray head sat opposite him, and when he saw his tedious movements, he was a little impatient, and said: "Why is Yin Xi promoted to the head of the household department, Brother Fan's official position has not changed, at least he should be promoted to a waiter."
There was resentment in the tone.
Fan Yongdou's face was slightly embarrassed, and his eyes were fixed on the churning tea leaves. He was not promoted in this change of officialdom, which was indeed unexpected.
The reform of the two-tax system implemented by the imperial court is not too much to say that he has contributed to it.
"Brother, the prince has the idea of the prince" Fan Yongdou wanted to ease the slightly excited feelings of the person opposite.
That was the eldest brother of King Jin, and he could say excessive, but Fan Yongdou couldn't show disrespect.
The anger in Zhai Tang's heart was obviously not accumulated in a day, and he continued to complain: "I don't know what he thinks, he doesn't need his own family, but he sends those who are unreliable to a high position."
Fan Yongdou knew that Zhai Tang was for him in name, but he was actually for himself. After the elder brother of the King of Jin arrived in Jiangnan, not only did he not become an official, but he was only the second shopkeeper in the Rishengchang Money Village, and he was subordinate to Liu Quan.
"The prince has the difficulties of the prince, I am just a cloth cloth, I have no fame, and it is already a special grace to be able to step into the court" Fan Yongdou can see his disadvantages clearly, which is also rare.
"Hmph" Zhai Tang laughed twice, the expression on his face disapproving.
He's not just for himself. His two sons were not reused, not only were they not officials, but they were also prevented by Zhai Zhe from starting a business again.
The life of the Zhai family is much better than in Shanxi, with fine clothes and fine food, but Zhai Tang will not be satisfied with just these now. It's like guarding a treasure mountain, how can you be willing if you don't get a few treasures from it.
The ice skates on the eaves melt the water droplets "tick and tick" rhythmically falling into the grooves of the white jade.
After being silent for a long time, Zhai Tang said: "I'm going to go and talk to him" not for myself, but also for my son.
Fan Yongdou persuaded: "Chinese New Year's Eve is coming, Wang Ye is busy with affairs, you better not go and trouble him again" His words didn't sound like persuasion.
"He is my brother, and when my father leaves, I will also send him to the end, and I can still tell the truth in front of him."
Zhai Tang picked up the blue and white porcelain tea bowl.
The fragrance of tea overflows, but it is tasteless when it falls into his mouth.
Everybody has **.
Not all of them can be satisfied.
Jin Wangfu.
Zhai Zhe has ceased to be a director since the 23rd day of the lunar month. The Cabinet has a well-established governing process, and he only needs to express his attitude on some important decisions, or advocate for the implementation of certain important decisions.
He is not Ming Taizu, and he doesn't want to be occupied by the rest of his life.
Ancestor worship is a common etiquette of the Han people, and the ancestor worship of the Zhai family is not presided over by Zhai Zhe, because he also has an elder brother
The palace was very large and empty.
Zhai Tang's family gathers here and it doesn't seem crowded.
The baby Gao Huijun, who gave birth for two months, was basking in the sun in the yard, and Wulan sat beside her, not gently touching the nose of the pink jade baby with cold fingers. On the day of the full moon, her father named her Zhai Tianyue.
"Tsk, if I want to have another daughter, I won't want anything more" Ulan's face clearly wrote two words - envy.
Gao Huijun didn't speak, but he was silently chanting in his heart: "I must have another son"
They are all envious of what they don't have.
Zhai Tianjian and Zhai Tianxing are having a snowball fight with their two nephews. Zhai Tang once came to stop it, but was stopped by Zhai Zhe. For the children's lively and playful behavior, Zhai Zhe has always been very indulgent.
Fan Yi and her sister-in-law talk about Shanxi's Chinese New Year's Eve customs, and occasionally talk about one or two habits that they don't adapt to when they go to Jiangnan.
Zhai Tang and Zhai Zhe sat in the attic on the second floor, and the scene downstairs was unobstructed.
For a long time, the two brothers did not sit opposite each other in this situation.
Zhai Zhe is very comfortable, and Zhai Tang is very worried.
Zhai Tang said: "Jiangnan is very good"
Zhai Zhe shook his head and said, "It's not as good as plugging outside."
The height of the station is different, and the scenery you see is also different. The things experienced are different, and the years of nostalgia are naturally different.
"If Dad can see your achievements today, he will definitely be able to smile Jiuquan" Only when talking about family affairs, Zhai Tang can stand up in front of Zhai Zhe.
"What have I achieved today?"
Zhai Zhe never thought about this problem. It was only this year that he was able to relax and begin to implement various reforms, and spent every day in pondering people's hearts and balancing interests, every day was very fast, and every day was very busy.
"Not bad," he laughed, "and this year is a small achievement."
Zhai Tang pointed to the eldest son who was paying close attention to the children playing under the banyan tree and said, "Qing'er is thirty-four years old Chinese New Year's Eve this year
"It's a good year" Zhai Zhe understood what his brother meant, but pretended not to understand.
Every time he talked about it, Zhai Zhe was always pretending to be confused.
Zhai Tang had to pick out and said: "I am old, I have nothing to ask for, Qing'er is in the prime of life, Hong'er is still young, if it is convenient, you can find a future for them, it is also the glory of the Zhai family." ”
Fame and fortune are longed for by everyone.
Zhai Zhe took a sip of tea and saw that his brother's head was gray, but he didn't understand his hard work.
"They are all my own family, and I will not treat them badly"
Zhai Tang was anxious and said, "Why don't the Zhai family do it for themselves? You are in a high position today, don't you want a few people who trust you? ”
Zhai Zhe thought for a moment and said: "Rishengchang is a place that I value very much, if the eldest brother really has this intention, let them do things in the business."
Zhai Tang was full of disappointment, and said, "My Zhai family has been a business name for three generations, do you want to continue?"
"You don't understand" Zhai Zhe shook his head slightly, and said: "The officialdom is sinister, it is not easy to be an official, and the Rishengchang is my industry, and you can help me be optimistic about the Rishengchang than the governor of a province." ”
"Officialdom is sinister?" Zhai Tang just couldn't understand why Zhai Zhe used such an excuse to perfunctory himself
He couldn't figure it out, and Zhai Zhe didn't explain it either.
This year, starting from Huguang, King Jin used the butcher's knife. This kind of thing, since it has begun, cannot be stopped.
Zong Mao's ascension to the post of governor of Nanzhili was the beginning of a nightmare for the officials of the prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River. The officialdom controlled by the Donglin Party is commonplace in terms of greed for ink and favors, but the General's Mansion under Zong Mao's rule cannot be said to have no such thing, but people with a little money in their hands will tremble when they see Zong Mao's legs.
Even if it is the elder brother of King Jin, Zong Mao will not show mercy, let alone the son of King Jin's elder brother.
Because, if he does this, he loses the value of his deposit.
It's not that Zhai Zhe doesn't believe in his own family, it's that he doesn't believe in the Donglin Party.
