Chapter 676: Cultivating Allies

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, these civil ministers, if you want to talk about prestige, Qian Qianyi and Hong Chengchou are considered to be the top, one is in the opposition and the other is in the court, if you want to talk about discipline, both of them are also broken. The traitors are all dangling, one has a level, and the other has no level. If these two people compare their abilities and the means of political struggle, Hong Chengchou can throw Qian Qianyi out of fifty miles. is also a traitor, Chen Xie can tolerate Hong Chengchou in the cabinet, the reason is that this product is in the position of a traitor, or in the position of a minister in the Ming cabinet, he has done a very good job. Speaking of which, the greater the ability, the greater the danger should be, but this article did not apply at the end of the Ming Dynasty, because the late Ming Dynasty was really too capable minister.

When he got Qian Qianyi's prayer post, Chen Xie's tooth root was sour, and what he saw was the tireless desire for power of this product. This person is talented in traditional learning, at least very much respected by some literati during the Republic of China. But this kind of talent is useless to Chen Xie, and it is not as good as Ruan Dacheng.

But Chen Xie still decided to give him a face, because he had use value. Qian Qianyi's background in Donglin, once he is thrown into Chen Xie's arms, can further divide Donglin. In addition, Chen Xie really needs someone to form an alliance with him in the cabinet, originally the best candidate for this person was Ruan Dacheng, but the reputation of this product was stinked by the Restoration Society, and it was okay to be a political secretary, but it was not good to enter the cabinet. As for Qian Qianyi, it's no problem to be an echo worm. Of course, whether Qian Qianyi is willing to be this echo worm or not, he still needs to contact one or two times

When Chen Xie was the governor of the three provinces, Qian Qianyi also sent a post to ask for a meeting, but was blocked by Chen Xie. The reason, Qian Qianyi also understood in his heart that he was hated by the first emperor. That Cao Huachun or something is still in the celebrant supervisor, how can Chen Xie help him recover? Now it's different. The new monarch is in power, Chen Xie's grace has not changed, and his power is greater, Qian Qianyi felt that the opportunity had come, so he paid his respects again.

Because there were too many people waiting, Qian Qianyi felt that he would not be able to take the turn too early. If he is an official, then hehehe, he has to wait. Now that he was in the opposition, his prestige did not allow him to do so, so he posted a prayer and prepared to settle down at a friend's house nearby and wait for a reply.

I never thought that this side of the post had just been thrown in, and the normal situation was that the door came out and replied, and he could go. I didn't think that I was standing in the corridor in the front yard and waiting for less than a moment, when I heard the officials in front of me stand up and greet: "Hello, Lord Cabinet." Qian Qianyi was shocked this time. Which one of the secret paths can be so favored by the Chen Pavilion and come out to greet him in person?

The structure Chen Xie came out, looked around, and asked without seeing anyone: "Where is Mr. Mu Zhai?" Chen came to greet him. ”

Just like that, Qian Qianyi's heart was full of ups and downs and surprises. The joy is that Chen Xie greeted him solemnly, and he was looking forward to his recovery, and he was surprised that he was doing this. The relationship of interests between him and Chen Xie was exposed in front of everyone. Qian Qianyi didn't think much about it, so many years of career in the wilderness. Enough has been fed. In history, in order to continue to be an official, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was demoted, and such undisciplined things as shaving hair and easy clothes could be done, and they also found an excuse for themselves to "itchy scalp". In the final analysis, it is necessary to be an official and a big official.

"Cabinet, Qianyi is here! How dare Lord Lao Gebu personally greet him? "I made up my mind in an instant. Qian Qianyi strode forward and bowed his hand. Chen Xie was faster than him, and he arched his hand and said: "Mr. Mu Zhai's name is like thunder, and his fate is sonorous. ”

Isn't there a chance to meet? Hehehe! Everyone knows it very well in their hearts. But they are all decades old actors, so naturally they have to play the role well. Qian Qianyi arched his hand and said solemnly: "Over the years, Qian has been in the countryside, paying attention to every move of the cabinet lord all the time. Pingliao, suppressing thieves, opening the sea, and expanding the borders, one by one, all opened up unprecedented moves. In the internal is not inferior to Wuhou (Zhuge Liang), outside is Shengdingyuan (Ban Chao), dormant for many years, many doubts and ask the cabinet to teach me, so cheeky to come to the door, but ask to solve the doubts in person. ”

Qian Qianyi really stuffed his sophistication in the crotch of his pants, and Chen Xie blushed when he heard what he said. But the officials present admired Qian Qianyi very much, Nima, who is not dead, is really good at praising people. Who is Zhuge Liang? Who is Ban Chao? These are all famous people in history, a cattle man who has done his best for Shu Han and has not come out of the world to three points, and a man who dares to pacify a country with dozens of people. These two people add one piece, it is a Chen Xie, this height, tsk!

The two looked like they hated each other, you praised me, I praised you, humbly, in front of everyone, went inside.

Entering the study, Ye Xianyun personally served tea, Qian Qianyi got up and said again and again, this gesture was really put on the floor.

After some scenes, Qian Qianyi saw that Chen Xie refused to talk about the topic, and he didn't care so much, so he went straight to the theme and said: "Cabinet, Qian has been in the opposition for many years, has no way to serve the country, and has no way to think hard, why can the cabinet teach me?" This is a very clear refuge, as long as you can return to the court to be an official, you can do without any prestige in the opposition.

This attitude, in exchange for Chen Xie's silence, lowered his head and thought, Qian Qianyi was shocked, and wanted to say something more, but he felt that it was unnecessary, he had thought about everything before coming, and there was no need to say more. Just wait quietly, thinking of this, Qian Qianyi calmed down, and waited for the ending with a smile, of course, this heart is not worried is fake, it is nothing more than letting go.

After about five minutes, Chen Xie raised his head and smiled: "I'm sorry, I was thinking just now, according to the current cabinet system, how can I get Mr. Mu Zhai into the cabinet as soon as possible." When Qian Qianyi heard this, his first reaction was that a hot current surged up in your heart, and your whole body was like an electric shock, and you couldn't help but tremble slightly, and you struggled for a while before standing up, and slowly arched your hand and said, "Sihua, you have a heart." "I didn't say anything about going to the soup and going to the fire, what to look at from now on, this is not to save face, but a kind of meaning from the heart.

It's boring to say nothing, what the mouth says, you have to regret it when you should regret it, this is the basic element of the political animal. But Qian Qianyi's attitude is very clear, as long as Chen Xie can take advantage, he will naturally advance and retreat together, with Chen Xie's meaning as the meaning, what he said before is very clear, but at this moment, it seems sincere.

Chen Xie smiled and waved his hand: "You're polite, since Mr. Mu Zhai wants to recover, he naturally has to go to the cabinet, otherwise it is meaningless." In this way, Mr. is willing to go to Liaodong, and after two years of governorship, he will enter Beijing, how can he take down a squire. If the operation is clever, it can be in time for the cabinet to be replaced, and then the cabinet will be eligible to be promoted to the cabinet. "This is the fastest path, two years later, the cabinet will change, and Qian Qianyi will be able to participate in the court push. As long as there are no problems during this period, this cabinet minister will be in the bag.

As for why he is the governor of Liaodong, because it is Chen Xie's territory, he can do anything there.

"Humility is indispensable." Qian Qianyi replied very simply, and Chen Xie said: "Although Mr. is in the opposition, he can also write to His Majesty." Talking about Liaodong and Nanyang. This involves dry goods, Qian Qianyi arched his hand and said: "Please also ask the cabinet to teach me." Chen Xie will not be untargeted, and Qian Qianyi will not be cranky at this time, anyway, he just listens to what Chen Xie says, and follows this topic as a stepping stone to his recovery.

Chen Xie said: "First of all, we must affirm that Nanyang and Liaodong are part of the Ming Dynasty, but there is a very special situation, and a special administrative province is established, with two governors and two governors. In this way, it is logical that the gentleman will be governor for one year and governor for one year. Secondly, the taxes and customs duties of Nanyang Liaodong were included in the Ming system, but before that, it was necessary to rectify the second division of commercial taxation and shipping, and it was best to separate these two departments and directly belong to the cabinet. The purpose of the rectification is to crack down on corruption and ensure the revenue of the state treasury. Finally, emphasis was placed on the establishment of a monitoring mechanism to curb corruption in these two sectors to the greatest extent possible. Specific charter ....... Saying that, Chen Xie turned around, picked up a copy of Wen Jiàn from the table, handed it over, and said, "Copy a copy according to this, and submit it to Your Majesty." ”

Qian Qianyi immediately understood that Chen Xie's meaning was very clear, and he was willing to take out the two taxes of Liaodong and Nanyang as a step for Qian to enter the eyes of His Majesty. "How do you explain it in the future?" Qian Qianyi's mind was unintentionally flexible, and he immediately thought of the crux of the problem.

"This is simple, just say that you came to see you, Chen said that it was powerful, and knew the righteousness, and after repeated see-saws, he persuaded Chen." After Chen Xie gave him this reason with a smile, Qian Qianyi stood up, stretched to the ground, and said: "From now on, Sihua is the first to look forward." "At this time, it is appropriate to say this. Real alliance of interests, not so many uncertain things. Chen Xie took out the benefits, and naturally you asked for something in return. Qian Qianyi made it very clear how to repay.

After saying this, Qian Qianyi took out a manuscript and handed it to Chen Xie and said: "This is the manuscript that I am going to submit to Ming Pao, please Sihua take a look at it, if there is something inappropriate, go back and change it." Chen Xie opened it and saw that he was actually going to compulsory education, and immediately looked at it carefully, the text of this product is great, and the routines and techniques of touting Chen Xie are also relatively old-fashioned, but they can fool people. I didn't say anything about the idea, but I just talked about the importance of educating the people. This is completely different from Chen Xie's thinking, but Chen Xie didn't plan to change it, because this thing just needs a skin. There is the skin of educating the people, or Qian Qianyi, who has a high reputation in Jiangnan, to say this, it is enough. This product can really speak on behalf of the Jiangnan Gentry Group. Coupled with the relationship of interests, there is no problem at all, it is enough.

"Very good, if you can add one more, it can not only educate the people, but also increase their ability to earn food and clothing, so that it can reap the effect of reassuring the people, which can be described as the best of both worlds." Chen Xie added a point, Qian Qianyi stroked his palm and smiled: "Okay, Sihua has insight into thousands of miles, and it is not beneficial." This is more shameless, naked sycophancy.
