In June of the seventeenth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, it was already early summer, and the weather was a little stuffy, and the stuffiness made people feel irritable, just like the current imperial court.

Recently, Liu Jiding, a university scholar, returned to his hometown, Chen Yue, the secretary of the Ministry of War, resigned and returned, and the minister of the cabinet department suddenly vacated two positions.

What's more, it is rumored that the famous eunuch Wang is about to lose power, where will Wang Yue, the imperial historian of the left capital, who has a close relationship with Wang Zhi, and Dai Jin, the imperial historian of the right capital, who is touting Wang Zhi's promotion, go? In other words, it is very likely that the imperial court will reappoint a scholar, a military secretary, and two imperial historians

The core figures in the entire imperial court who can be called the ruling ministers, that is, the cabinet Zaifu and the main hall of the foreign court, add up to only about ten. Now at least three or four will have to be reappointed, which can almost be called a small change of blood.

This is the largest personnel change in the imperial court since the first assistant Shang Zhi in the thirteenth year of Chenghua, Xiang Zhong, the secretary of the military department, and Li Bin, the imperial history of the left capital, have had a great impact on the political arena. For example, the ministers and the Son of Heaven were originally competing for a missionary like Fangshi Li Zi Province, but at this moment, they were unconsciously silent, and few people mentioned it.

For those top-level or quasi-top-level officials, the sudden opening of so much room for progress at the top of the imperial pyramid is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In normal times, it is rare to wait for a vacancy, but this time it has changed several positions at once, who can not be tempted?

For a while, all kinds of gatherings, secret letters, and tandems in the capital multiplied, and all kinds of relationships suddenly operated with the highest efficiency, which was dizzying in the eyes of insiders.

However, these bustles don't seem to have anything to do with Fang Yingwu. On this day, he was in the county office, and after breaking the official document for an hour, he sat in the courtyard to drink tea and rest. chatted with Lou Tianhua.

Talking about the gossip of the imperial court, Master Lou sighed: "Recently, there have been many events in the capital. In normal times, it is also the season of earning money. ”

Fang Yingwu was surprised: "The ruling minister chooses, you brokers can also influence?" It's appalling! ”

Lou Tianhua hurriedly explained: "How can my generation have this ability! It's just early news, sold to officials and merchants in the field, and they all need this kind of news. ”

Then Lou Tianhua patted the other party and said: "Only people like the proprietor can enter the temple planning, and my generation can only watch." ”

"You're laughing, the official has to keep a low profile!" Fang Yingwu smiled dumbly. In fact, with such a big excitement, he can't participate in the competition for benefits, Fang Yingwu is still a little regretful, and it is rare to have the opportunity to vacate so many positions at once.

But what he needs is time. If you develop smoothly, you can fight for your father after ten years, and you can fight for yourself after twenty years. As for now, I can probably only watch others compete in a low-key manner.

Later, Fang Yingwu and Lou Tianhua discussed the matter of the queen mother's younger brother, and Lou Tianhua asked: "The bell and drum tower store has been demolished, and the proprietor has any regulations for the new Baoguo Temple?" ”

Fang Yingwu instructed: "How can the county government have the money to build a new temple, and the official doesn't want to requisition the people's power for this purpose, so stop for the time being." If not what I expected. Out of filial piety, the Son of Heaven should allocate two pieces of silver from the palace for the new repair of the Baoguo Temple, and we will wait. ”

At the same time, Dai Jin, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, sat in the lobby of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I feel uneasy, but I don't know where this restlessness comes from.

Four years ago, he braved the disapproval of Shilin. said good things for Xichang and Wang Zhi, and was appreciated by the Son of Heaven. Promoted to the second rank of the right capital of the imperial history, although he was scolded as Wang Zhi's lackey. But it's worth it.

This year, Eunuch Wang has flourished and declined, and according to what he can tell, Wang Zhi is definitely going to fall. If Wang Zhi falls, then he Dai Jin will inevitably be implicated.

For his own vision, Master Dai has always been very confident, so he once again made an unexpected choice. He took the initiative to befriend Shang Ming, the commander of Dongchang, and helped Shang Ming plan an attack on Wang Zhi, including forcing Fang Yingwu to impeach Wang Zhi.

As the so-called gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, there is no need for him to accompany Wang Zhi to be unlucky, from this point of view, Master Dai also has a "clear conscience". Originally, the matter came to this, Dai Jin, who jumped out of the crisis, did not say that he was at ease, but he was also very relieved, just waiting for Wang Zhi to collapse, and he could not implicate himself.

But the recent limelight has made Master Dai feel a little weird, for example, Zuodu Yushi, Admiral Jingying Wang Yueshang Shu General Wang Zhi scolded, and I heard that when Shang Ming celebrated his birthday, Wang Yue gave a heavy gift, and his flattery was clearly revealed.

When he first heard about this, Master Dai privately ridiculed, "This is picking up people's teeth and wisdom", which means that Wang Yue is completely imitating his way. However, if Wang Yue is not the only one who does this, and suddenly a group of civil and military officials take this route, then the situation will be very delicate.

There are still three catties of nails in the rotten ship, who doesn't have a few loyal ministers and filial sons? Wang Zhi has been buying people's hearts for so many years, and at this time, they are all crying and shouting to join Shang Ming? If that's the case, then how can it seem that he is knowledgeable about current affairs?

Looking at his ally Shang Ming, whose arrogance had swelled several times, Dai Jin was not happy, he was faintly a little uneasy, and he had been sitting in the lobby uneasy.

No way! Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, he Dai Jin has already put all his bets on Shang Ming's side, and he can't sit back and watch the doubts and be indifferent. Thinking of this, Lord Dai changed into a micro-suit and went out to Shang Ming's mansion.

Shang Ming returned to the mansion from Dongchang and saw Dai Jin waiting, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What kind of strong wind is blowing Dai Zhongcheng today?" ”

Dai Jin expressed his suspicions, and Shang Ming sneered a few times, "Master Dai, you can also see it?" How can I not know that it is greasy? It's just that now is the time to recruit talents, and it's inconvenient to refuse people thousands of miles away, otherwise who would dare to come to take refuge? ”

Dai Jin said: "They may not all be sincere, but they are afraid that someone will organize them behind their backs." ”

Shang Ming said disapprerovingly: "Fake and true, true and false, naturally it can also be fake!" These people are afraid that they also have two thoughts, if Wang Zhi loses power, then it will be logical to make the fake come true. ”

Dai Jin saw that Shang Ming was a little careless, and continued to persuade: "I hope that the factory will think twice!" Shang Ming nodded and said: "I understand what you mean, of course I won't be negligent, in fact, these things are not to be feared for the time being, the next step is the key, what really needs to be guarded against is also their next step." ”

Dai Jin couldn't help but ask: "Will the factory plan be released?" ”

Shang Ming said with a ruthless face: "The bell must be tied to the bell, I know who came up with this idea, Eunuch Wang secretly returned to Beijing the day before yesterday to conspire with this person, according to me, he is the biggest mastermind hidden behind Wang Zhi." Now that he wants to hide behind and release the cold arrow, then I will tell him to keep a low profile, and if he is broken, he will naturally break the predicament. (To be continued......)
