Chapter 244: Wisdom

The undercurrent in the court, Wen Zhenmeng can't be unaware, but as the deputy assistant of the cabinet, he must take care of the overall situation, and sometimes he must let Zheng Xunrui endure grievances, for a few years, Zheng Xunrui's actions and achievements are in front of him, Wen Zhenmeng knows very well that Zheng Xunrui's ability is much stronger than him, but it is a pity that such a talent is destined to suffer a blow.

Between the Zhejiang Party and the Donglin Party, there is already a taste of unity, which is mainly due to the fact that Wen Tiren, the head of the cabinet, is trying his best to attract talents and stabilize his own position, for example, Hong Chengchou is responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, that is, the Donglin Party's mention of yƬ has been approved by Wen Tiren, otherwise the emperor would not have issued an order.

However, in the imperial court, the struggle between the Donglin Party and the Zhejiang Party still exists, but once the interests of a certain aspect are involved, the two sides can often find something in common, unite and exert force, and the attitude towards Zheng Xunrui is the best explanation.

In fact, Zheng Xunrui's ability, Wen Tiren also recognized, the most critical problem is that Zheng Xunrui and the Donglin Party are incompatible, and they are not willing to cling to the Zhejiang Party, which is destined to become a lonely faction in the imperial court, and they are suppressed from both sides, Donglin Party and Zhejiang Party are very clear that once Zheng Xunrui is really strong, they will not be pleased, so it is better to take advantage of the current situation to suppress Zheng Xunrui fiercely, so that Zheng Xunrui will not have a bright day in the court.

This is a very terrible phenomenon, the emergence of this phenomenon, but also prompted Wen Zhenmeng to think deeply, whether the truth he pursued before is correct, and it is precisely because of this reflection that Wen Zhenmeng has a deeper understanding of Zheng Xunrui, Zheng Xunrui does not cling to anyone, and is unwilling to join the so-called Donglin Party and Zhejiang Party, which is a rare choice.

What makes Wen Zhenmeng feel the most chilling is the change of Yao Ximeng, the two were originally like brothers and sisters, and it can be said that they have nothing to talk about, but because of Zheng Xunrui's matter, there were cracks in the relationship between the two, and what Wen Zhenmeng didn't expect was that Yao Ximeng actually joined the team to deal with Zheng Xunrui, and the reason was nothing more than that his face was hurt not worth mentioning. Yao Ximeng's so-called struggle against the eunuch party back then also contained other flavors.

When it was discussed to let Hong Chengchou be responsible for exterminating the Liukou, Yao Ximeng strongly supported it, and it was supported for no reason, but looking at the ending now, Nanyang Mansion City was captured, Cao Wenzhao was killed in battle, and three thousand Guanning iron cavalry were killed, such a tragic ending, Yao Ximeng stopped speaking at this time.

Zhang Pu, Yang Yi, Zhang Cai, Wu Weiye, Wu Changshi, Gong Dingyu and others were all favored by Wen Zhenmeng back then, especially Zhang Pu and Wu Weiye and others, but looking at their appearance when they entered the court, Wen Zhenmeng only sighed that he had seen the wrong person, and at his great age, his knowledge was not as good as Zheng Xunrui.

For reasons above his personality, he is also in a deep-rooted understanding, Wen Zhenmeng is reluctant to argue with others, in his heart, he still has the understanding that reading people is superior, whether it is the Zhejiang Party or the Donglin Party, they are all readers, since everyone is a scholar, then they must take care of their own face, as for the struggle with the eunuch party, Wen Zhenmeng will not be polite.

When the cabinet discussed Hong Chengchou's twists and turns, Wen Zhenmeng did not express any opinions, he didn't want Zheng Xunrui to pick up this mess, since the first year of Chongzhen, the rogues have been ravaging, only when Zheng Xunrui came forward, he completely suppressed the rogues, let the rogues flee in all directions, and faced the end of being exterminated, but this kind of good situation was used by people with ulterior motives in the DPRK and China.

Wen Zhenmeng believes that at this time, Zheng Xunrui can not participate in the extermination of the Liukou, this is obviously a muddy water, if Zheng Xunrui has made meritorious service, it will obviously encounter the envy of many people, if it is not possible to completely exterminate the Liukou, some people in the DPRK have something to say, so the wisest choice is to continue to serve as the governor of Shaanxi.

After the cabinet discussion, Wen Zhenmeng wrote a letter to Zheng Xunrui, this time the letter was very different from the past, he wrote his own analysis, as well as many situations in the court, all of which were written, how to judge these situations, how to make a choice, Wen Zhenmeng did not express in the letter, he believed that Zheng Xunrui himself could make the best choice.

Wen Zhenmeng also felt Wen Tiren's attack, several times in front of the emperor, Wen Tiren unceremoniously impeached him, but the emperor did not listen, Wen Tiren was in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, nearly two years, the power was slowly established, and the attitude was not the same as before, in this case, Wen Zhenmeng did not know how long he could still be in the position of deputy assistant to the cabinet, and he must take this opportunity to inform Zheng Xunrui of what he knew, so that Zheng Xunrui could be ready.

The most angry is Yang Tingshu, the relationship between him and Zheng Xunrui, everyone knows.

Served as the Shao Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion, for nearly two years, during which the cabinet once proposed to let Yang Tingshu go to Nanjing to preside over the affairs of the Hanlin Academy, which was vetoed by Wen Zhenmeng, the second assistant of the cabinet, which shows that not only someone is thinking about dealing with Zheng Xunrui, but also thinking about dealing with him who has the best relationship with Zheng Xunrui.

The good situation of exterminating the Liukou was ruined, Yang Tingshu felt aggrieved, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything, after quitting the Ying Society, a lot of pressure made him unable to breathe, and there was no sign of being promoted and reused.

This time, Yang Tingshu couldn't help it, and directly gave the emperor a twist, and the spearhead was directly pointed at Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai and others, saying that the two of them, as supervisors of the imperial history, could not fully understand the situation, and rashly proposed impeachment, causing the court to misjudge and lead the matter of exterminating the Liukou, which suffered huge twists and turns.

Writing this recital shows that the contradictions between Yang Tingshu and Zhang Pu, Yang Yi, Zhang Cai, Gong Dingyu, Wu Changshi, Wu Weiye and others have become public, which is equivalent to the controversy with the Donglin Party has become public.

Yang Tingshu doesn't care anymore, sometimes he maintains the situation of unity too much, all he gets is suppression, and he must stand up and fight back at the critical moment, Zheng Xunrui is far away in Shaanxi, and it is not good to propose impeachment, so he will do these things.

Although many people know that it is not up to Zhang Pu and others to make Hong Chengchou responsible for the complete extermination of the rogue, it is not up to Zhang Pu and others to make a decision on the impeachment.

A debate started in the early dynasty, Yang Tingshu was full of righteous indignation, and did not care about the face of Zhang Pu and others, and a series of cross-examinations made Zhang Pu and others unable to justify themselves.

It's a pity that the emperor didn't punish Zhang Pu and others in the end.

But Yang Tingshu's actions have won him praise, and some people have long wanted to say these words, but Zhishi didn't say them because of the actual problems.

The opinion of the Cabinet has finally come out.

The emperor's decree surprised everyone.

Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, continued to be responsible for the extermination of the Liukou, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yansui, was promoted to the governor of Huguang and assisted Hong Chengchou in exterminating the Liukou.

Ma Shiying and Wang Duo were undoubtedly punished.

Ma Shiying has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for many years, and is actually in charge of the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is said that the next step will be to become the left and right deputy envoys, or become the squire of the six departments, but now he has been sent to serve as the governor of Yansui, which is not a good errand, and the reason for this situation is probably that he took the mistake of impeachment in the first place.

The second is Wang Duo, who served as the right deputy imperial envoy of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, on the surface, he became an official of the three grades, but in fact, he will be excluded from the inner circle, and he will be excluded from the inner circle, and he will not be able to do anything well when he goes to the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is equivalent to Wang Duo taking responsibility.

As for Tang Shiji, Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Tingshu and others, they were all promoted or reused, needless to say in the Tang Dynasty, they became high-ranking officials of the second grade, so it is better to go to the inner circle of the imperial court, Lu Xiangsheng served as the governor of Huguang, compared with the previous governor of Yansui, the responsibility is completely different, as for Yang Tingshu, who served as the governor of Henan, he is already a feudal official, and his responsibilities are more important.

The only thing that people can't understand is Hong Chengchou, who has not suffered any punishment, as stable as Mount Tai, some people think that this may be Hong Chengchou in the battle to exterminate the Liukou, the table is very good, there was no mistake in the strategic deployment, and the fall of Cao Wenzhao is not blamed on Hong Chengchou's head.

The emperor's decree caused some private discussions in the court, but these discussions were eliminated in a short time, after all, if these things were discussed in private, if the emperor and the cabinet knew about them, they would be punished.

Before Yang Tingshu went to Henan Province to take office, Wen Zhenmeng specially found him, and the two had a long conversation, after the conversation, Yang Tingshu came out, with a shocked and respectful look on his face, and through this conversation, Yang Tingshu understood a lot, and of course he knew what to do in the future.

On the day he left the capital, Yang Tingshu wrote a long letter to Zheng Xunrui after careful thinking, and it will be difficult for him to tell Zheng Xunrui about the situation in the capital in the future.

Yang Tingshu once resented that the imperial court did not ask Zheng Xunrui to be responsible for the extermination of the Liukou again, but after some conversation, he understood the truth, and also felt that his understanding was not deep enough, and he was not able to seriously analyze the current situation of the imperial court.
