Chapter 670: The Dispute Between the North and the South
Zhai Zheqiang suppressed the anger in his heart, and Liu Quan in front of him looked very pitiful.
"Why didn't the Ministry of War submit it?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, Liu Quan was taken aback.
"Did you see that the Ministry of War couldn't hide it, so you came to me to ask for guilt?"
Liu Quan's heart was pounding, the prince was too shrewd, could he tell the truth? The original plan was shattered in an instant, and he needed to make a decision in a flash of light.
Zhu Zhanyun had already prepared, and lent 4,000 bird guns without leaving any evidence. According to Liu Suifeng's analysis, the force that framed the Liu family this time was not small, and even Fan Yongdou was willing to watch. If those people dig a big hole for him to jump, and let him fall into the reputation of framing his colleagues, I am afraid that all the credit he has made for the prince before will be written off.
Seeing that Liu Quan was silent, Zhai Zhe knew in his heart, and he was very disappointed. For a long time, he didn't like to use the brocade guards to monitor the courtiers like Ming Taizu, because he never thought that strict internal surveillance could bring about a peaceful and prosperous world. In the final analysis, Jinyiwei is also controlled by one person. If you are human, you will have a position.
"Liu Quan, how many years have you been with me?"
When Liu Quan heard this, his heart was terrified, he knew that the regent was really angry. When it comes to old relationships, it is the beginning of reckoning.
"Lord Wang, the villain is guilty, the villain has no way to manage, and he is unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility of preparing armor, and he is willing to hand it over to the weapon workshop."
Zhai Zhe smiled and said, "How could this king want your workshop" He asked, "Your second son is managing the workshop, right?" ”
Liu Quandao: "The villain has tied him to his home. ”
Zhai Zhe said: "You go back, this king will let the military department thoroughly investigate this matter"
Liu Quan was worried, got up and said goodbye and left. Since the matter has been introduced, it is no longer under his control.
Businessmen take profit as their purpose, and Liu Quan will also make such a short-sighted move because of a little petty profit Liu Quan went out, Zhai Zhe opened the submission sent by the cabinet in the morning, and found the documents of the Ministry of War.
The war situation in the north is in chaos, and he has been deducing the battle situation today, and he has not had time to make a council.
In the thick stack of official documents, he really found Qian Sule's recital.
He glanced at it and scolded: "Liu Quan, Liu Quan, your ability is really not small" The submission of the Ministry of War was delivered, and Liu Quan immediately came to ask for guilt, if Liu Quan had nothing to do with the Ministry of War, the ghost would not believe it.
The combination of Li Laiheng's urgent report and the results of Qian Sule's preliminary investigation shows that the military department's response was still very fast.
You can't make any decisions when you're angry. Zhai Zhe closed the submission, closed his eyes and pondered, the three weapon workshops were closely connected with the Ministry of War, and it would be strange if the Liu family didn't get the news.
This may seem like a trivial matter, but it is actually quite significant. The 4,000 discarded bird guns have already exceeded the upper limit of punishment set by the Ministry of War for the three workshops. If you don't use the re-canon, can the quality of the armor be guaranteed in the future?
He pondered for a moment, took the pen and wrote a few words on the paperwork, and beckoned to the door: "Someone is coming."
An attendant walked in with his head bowed.
"Send this submission to the Ministry of War"
The attendant took it with both hands and walked out backwards.
Zuo Ruo is far away in the grassland, if the passage cannot be opened before the arrival of winter, it will be difficult for the soldiers from eastern Zhejiang to withstand the cold of Saibei. In the past few days, Feng Qin, Shi Fu, Xiao Zhiyan and other military generals are about to come to Nanjing, and Li Dingguo and Xu Yiyang, who have just surrendered, are leading their troops north, and he has no time to deal with this matter for the time being.
After Shen Shi, the light in the study building deteriorated. Zhai Zhe was a little absent-minded, and after quickly approving the cabinet's submission, he left the study building and walked to the east courtyard.
Liu Quan followed him when he killed Hukou, and Liu Suifeng was his henchman. Even if the Liu family makes a mistake, he has to be a little merciful.
Dinner has always been eaten at the same time in the palace, which is the custom of the Jin merchants, and the Zhai Mansion has been maintained to this day.
Zhai Zhe went to the east courtyard and sat down, and Fan Yi immediately asked the steward to have dinner.
The ingredients of the palace are very simple, and there are eight dishes and two soups every day. Fan Yi, Ulan and Gao Huijun sat on both sides, Zhai Zhe was very silent when he ate today, Fan Yi and the others saw that the atmosphere was not right, and they didn't care about anything.
Ulan eats faster. Gao Huijun seemed to be accompanying Zhai Zhe to eat, anyway, she put down the dishes and chopsticks almost at the same time as Zhai Zhe every day. In the past, Fan Yi ate very slowly, but after only eating a little for a few days, she put down her chopsticks and accompanied Zhai Zhe, as if she had something to say.
It's just that Zhai Zhe was absent-minded today and didn't pay attention to it.
When Zhai Zhe put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up, the three wives and concubines dared to get up and say goodbye, and each went back to their respective residences.
Zhai Zhe walked out of the door of the living room and saw Fan Yi waiting for him at the door. He didn't think much of it, but went to the east courtyard. Fan Yi followed him carefully.
The maid lit the candles, and the room was filled with warm colors.
Fan Yi looked at Zhai Zhe's face and said carefully: "Lord Wang, my eldest brother lost his family business in Shanxi and went south to work in the household department. Recently, there is a way to make money, he wants to do it, but I don't know if the prince will allow it."
According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, in order to prevent foreign relatives from getting involved in politics, the emperor must marry a folk woman. Although the royal family rewarded their relatives richly, they never allowed their relatives to hold positions of real power. Zhai Zhe is not an emperor yet, but Fan Yongdou is very cautious and has regarded himself as a relative. Moreover, the weapon workshop is not a private business, and it is not enough for Liu Quan to reach an agreement with the Fan family.
Zhai Zhe ordered the maid to make a cup of tea and asked, "What business?"
"Shopkeeper Liu found the eldest brother today and said that he wanted to transfer the weapon workshop to the Fan family"
Zhai Zhe's heart moved, what does Liu Quan mean by this?
Seeing that Zhai Zhe did not express his dissatisfaction, Fan Yi continued: "The eldest brother originally intended to resign, but the shopkeeper Liu insisted on transferring, saying that the Liu family had a negative prince and could no longer do the armor business, but the armor was a matter of importance, and it was impossible for all southerners to control it. ”
The maid brought a cup of tea, Fan Yi stopped talking, until the maid put the teacup on the tea table in Zhai Zhe's right hand and retreated, she continued: "The prince has worked hard for state affairs, working day and night, but Jiangnan scholars do not appreciate it, I heard that there are Jinshi who were only hired in this year's scientific examination to write poems to satirize the prince in Qinhuai Hefang." The eldest brother worked diligently in the household department, and when he was in Shangshu, he slandered the eldest brother, and it was Zong Shangshu and other people who had been following the prince who were loyal to the prince. ”
Fan Yi almost never discusses state affairs with Zhai Zhe, and recently spoke rashly, feeling apprehensive.
Zhai Zhe frowned and took a sip of tea, but he didn't reprimand Fan Yi.
Before Zong Mao became the head of the household department, it was very difficult for him to implement any reform in the court. Twice asked Chen Zilong to check the hidden fields, but Zong Mao submitted a compromise saying that there were still nearly two percent of the fields in Jiangnan that had not been registered.
The Liu family can no longer be in charge of the weapons workshop, but the armor workshop cannot be abolished. As Liu Quan said, it is impossible for this workshop to be handed over to the Jiangnan people, in addition to letting Fan Yongdou take over, he is letting the Zhai family take over personally.
The reactions of Chen Zilong, Du Yinxi and others when he ascended the regent throne can be known that the squires in Jiangnan are unreliable, even if it is Chen Zilong.
The tea is very hot, and there is some bitterness in the mouth, and there is some fragrance in the bitterness.
"yes, I see"
Fan Yi didn't know what Zhai Zhe meant by that.
Zhai Zhe spit out a piece of tea in his mouth, and then said: "If the Liu family is willing, the Fan family can take over, but they can't bully others and keep the price too low." ”
Fan Yi said with a smile: "Look at what the prince said, Liu is all from Jin, and the Fan family is also from Jin, how can they bully their fellow villagers." ”
The imperial power is now divided into two, and Zhai Zhe cannot completely abolish Emperor Longwu until the Qing captives are completely defeated. In any case, it is more reassuring to use your own family. He can't use eunuchs to balance civil officials, maybe only relatives. People like Zong Mao who have not participated in scientific examinations are not in the sequence of civil officials.
The night was slowly getting deeper, and the moment he lay on the bed, he made a decision, Liu Suifeng must be appointed to the post of secretary of the military department. All the reforms in the DPRK and China are from the gentry, especially the gentry in Jiangnan, and it is strange that those civil officials will support him.
The next day, Zhai Zhe got up early, and after breakfast, he came to the study building and ordered Liu Suifeng to be summoned urgently.
It has been three days since Liu returned to Nanjing with the wind, and it stands to reason that he should come to the palace to meet him. Because the case of the Liu family's weapons workshop was unsolved, he hid at home and did not come forward for a long time, because it was related to his further career.
After receiving the royal summons, he hurried to the palace.
The cabinet submission and the memoranda from all over the country have just been delivered, and Zhai Zhe doesn't want to go through his own hands to deal with everything, and many things are just a rough look. In addition to the affairs of the Ministry of War, he has always been extremely concerned, and other changes in officials above the third grade, the Ministry of Household will only give instructions on income and expenditure.
Liu followed the guards into the study building and knelt down to bow.
Zhai Zhe put down the submission and said with a smile: "You have to wait for me to invite you to come to the palace to see me for three days, is this a great contribution to the southwest, and you are proud of your achievements?"
He was joking, and Liu Suifeng also knew that the regent was joking with him, and he was still very nervous, and said: "Weichen doesn't dare" This may be the power of the emperor
Zhai Zhe said: "You have made many miraculous achievements in military affairs, and the imperial court has contributed to the surrender of the loyal battalion, Wu Sangui and the Great Western Army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the first hero of this king." ”
Liu Suifeng said: "Weichen just borrowed the power of the prince, where can he dare to claim merit." ”
What a well-behaved man.
Liu Suifeng has been by Zhai Zhe's side for more than ten years, and for some reason, he is always wary of this Xi strategist. Perhaps, it was the opinion on the government that he stated to himself in Shanxi.
"Above the court, there is no right or wrong, only what you want to do."
This sentence brought Zhai Zhe into the door of the dispute between the government and the government. Until now, he agrees that this statement may be true, but he still cannot take it as a governing creed.
Because, if he fully agrees with this sentence, Lu Gong's death is not a fault, and neither is Zhang Mingzhen's death. And the death of these two people in the sword soldiers has always been an indelible regret in Zhai Zhe's heart.
