Chapter 264: Cabinet Battle
Deng Yuji's trip to Mrs. Cui was soon known by Yang Qiqi.
"Deng Yuxi, Deng Yuxi? Her name is very imaginary with the names of the girls in the Yuguo Mansion. Yang Qiqi frowned lightly, and sighed thoughtfully.
Zhuzhi asked Yang Qiqi curiously in a whisper: "Girl, don't be the illegitimate daughter of Yu Guogong outside, right?" ”
When Yang Qiqi heard Zhu Zhi's words, his mind was full of lightning, as if he had figured something out in an instant, and instructed Zhu Zhi: "Keep an eye on Mrs. Li, but if there is any trouble, tell me everything that can't be missed!" ”
Zhuzhi nodded cautiously, and was even more concerned about this matter to do it himself.
In July, the weather in Luoyang gradually cooled down. But the ministers of the court were hot and dry. Not because of anything else, but after Chang Gon entered the Imperial Historical Tower. successively ripped off Xiao Xun, the second master of the Hubu Shangshu and Cai Guogong's Mansion, and ordered Jiang Guogong Yao Zheng in the middle book.
Of these two people, one is in charge of the unfavorable affairs and owes a lot of bad debts to the treasury. One is misbehaving, specially promoting his protégés, and many important reports have not been presented to Emperor Yonghui in time, which indirectly misses a lot of major events.
Chang Gon entered the Imperial Historical Observatory, impeached one, and came down one. Let's say that most of the important ministers in this court are royal relatives and nobles, or noble families of century-old families. There are not many people who borrow money from the treasury, and it is not uncommon to favor private relationships and promote their relatives and protégés. Originally, it was a matter of officials protecting each other, you helping me, and I helping you. If you don't have a backer in the court, how can you become an official?
can be biased, and a Chang Gon came out halfway. is favored and trusted by the emperor, but he is such an eyeless and die-hard person. Chang Gon opened Dayan's rectification of the government in a hurry, which naturally made everyone in danger of the ministers of the DPRK and China.
In August, Chang Gon's series of blows directly led to the sixty-five-year-old Ren Guogong Pei Zhiyuan being forced to become a minister.
This is a major event that shocked the Dayan officialdom, and the five auxiliary ministers and five cabinet ministers around the emperor of the DPRK were originally divided into their own factions. Now Pei Zhiyuan has vacated the position of the cabinet. What a joy and a worrying thing!
Rejoice, naturally, those high-ranking officials and ministers, if they can enter the cabinet, they are standing at the highest level of Dayan, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are calling for wind and rain and sprinkling beans into soldiers!
The troubled ones are naturally the ministers headed by Pei Zhiyuan, the Duke of Renguo.
Yang Qiqi has the impression that Pei Zhiyuan was forced to become a man when he was seventy years old because Chang Gon impeached several protégés. In this life, this matter was five years ahead of schedule!
In his last life, Chang Gon was Yonghui for 20 years, and he was promoted because of the achievements of Muping County for ten Chinese New Year's Eve not closing his household, not leaving the road behind, and being free of disasters and disasters, and he entered the capital. And Ren Guogong's Zhishi is also twenty-three years after Yonghui.
But in this life, seeing Chang Gon's ability, it is obvious that he is more powerful than in the previous life. However, in less than three months, he was able to directly let Pei Zhiyuan go ahead of schedule.
This incident has directly led to the forces of all parties gearing up, even if they make a fortune and break the bloodstream, I am afraid that they will have to give their own party and earn a position as an auxiliary minister in the cabinet.
At that time, Zhang Ziyong was not qualified enough, but he also helped Murong Shi. It was also Murong Shi who put Yuguo Gong in the cabinet, and in this regard, it was completely for Yang Fu to be used by him.
But this matter was five years ahead of schedule, but Yang Qiqi felt that many things seemed to have changed, but in fact they all came to the same end. For example, King Xin's family, although they entered Beijing safely in the sixteenth year of Yonghui, but in the end, the lives of the whole family were not guaranteed; For another example, although Pei Xin did not have the recommendation of the Duke of Liang, he still won the trust of Emperor Yonghui.
Therefore, the possibility of Yang Fu joining the cabinet is too great. And Yang Qiqi must not let Murong Shi have this opportunity to take Yuguo Gong for his own use!
The ministers of all parties in Dayan are ready to move, and they are all looking forward to their own faction being in power, and they are desperately planning to send another auxiliary minister into the cabinet.
The threshold of the Duke of Qiuguo is almost broken by the people who come to visit and come and go. In addition to the fact that officials from the DPRK and China moved around each other, the exchanges between the ladies and relatives of various families became more and more frequent.
These are naturally placed on the table, and it is difficult for Emperor Yonghui to notice. However, there were more banquets in Luoyang City.
People who may join the cabinet are all working hard to post. The birthday of the wife of the country, the birthday of the old lady of the Hou family. Whose son will give a bride price, whose girl will be determined below, but anyone who can be lively. It's going to have to be a good toss.
But among them, only Yang Fu was still in the filial piety period, so he couldn't hold a feast in the Yuguo Mansion. I had to take advantage of Mrs. Li's advantage to go to the Mansion of the Kingdom of Yu from time to time.
Because of the turbulent cabinet dispute in the undercurrent, the Duke of Yuguo is a hot spot in Beijing. Even with it, the Duchess of Yuguo, Li Junzhi, was also arrogant.
On this day, Li Junzhi happened to meet Yang Fu, her phoenix eyes raised lightly, looking at Yang Fu's expression, she was extremely arrogant, and said slowly: "I said third brother-in-law, there is Li Guifei in the palace to support, and the cabinet is watched by our grandfather." When you enter the cabinet this time, I think it's nine times out of ten! ”
Yang Fu smiled politely and humbly, and said humbly: "Cabinet ministers, virtuous and capable people live in it. Moreover, this kind of thing really shouldn't be said too early, perhaps, Your Majesty has other ideas. ”
Li Junzhi seemed to be smiling, and directly skimmed Yang Fu's words, and nodded at him: "I heard that Qiqi and Yongping Hou Shizi got married after the filial piety period, and the marriage date for this sister has been set, why hasn't our Xian'er's marriage been settled yet?" ”
Yang Fu understood Li Junzhi's words, and according to him, Yang Yuyan was already nineteen years old, and if she hadn't been delayed by filial piety, she would have gotten married a long time ago. But now the eldest daughter of the Duke of Yuguo, Wei Yufei, is not married at this age. How many matchmakers came to the door were pushed away by the Duke of Yuguo's Mansion before and after, and the ambiguous appearance was obviously thinking about Murong Shi. Now that Li Junzhi says this, it is tantamount to beating him again. If you want the help of Duke Yu Guo, be smart, and don't let Xian'er fight with Wei Yufei anymore.
Yang Fu smiled with Li Junzhi and said, "What the eldest sister said is that it's just that the concubine likes Xian'er very much." Your sister and concubine Niangniang also have this plan, so they delayed it. However, Xian'er has not yet been filial, even if she waits for the filial piety period, it is not too late to remarry. It's Yufei who is not young, but this marriage has been delayed. ”
Li Junzhi's face turned green when he heard Yang Fu say this, and he immediately glared at Yang Fu unhappily, and said, "When did the concubine plan to let Xian'er and the Seventh Prince be together with the third sister?" How come I haven't heard of it? ”
Yang Fu made a gaffe, and said with a smile: "Eldest sister, maybe I remembered it wrong." The left and right things are muttered by insiders, and I don't know if it's true or not. After Yang Fu finished speaking, he waved his hand at Li Junzhi and said, "There are still important matters to discuss with my brother-in-law, if the eldest sister has anything to ask, why don't I send a car to send you to the Yuguo Mansion?" ”
Li Junzhi waved at Yang Fu tirelessly, didn't say anything more, gritted his teeth and brushed his sleeves away.
Yang Fudi wrote down this matter in his heart, and he didn't know whether Li Junzhi's mention or transaction was whether there was any instruction from the Duke of Qiu.
Entering the study room of the Duke of Qiu's Mansion, Yang Fu first quietly exchanged a few words with Wei Ying. But seeing that Wei Ying didn't say a word about Wei Yufei's marriage, he acted as if he hadn't heard Li Junzhi's words.
"In the past, the Cabinet must be to ask His Majesty for a report and give His Majesty a proposal for a successor. However, Ren Guogong was forced to become a minister. Although His Majesty gave him all the face, this face and lining had already been thrown away by Chang Gon. Even if he had the face to mention his successor, His Majesty would never listen. Now," Wei Ying's expression was solemn, and he lowered his voice and said, "You are now a cabinet scholar, which is equivalent to stepping into the cabinet assistant minister with half a foot." But the other few people pushed it out were not all dry meals. ”
Hearing Yu Guogong say this, it is obvious that he already knows the candidate to compete with him for the auxiliary minister of the cabinet. But he still remained silent, only nodded silently, and looked at Wei Ying very seriously.
Wei Ying said: "Liang Guogong first recommended Cai Guogong, you also know that Cai Guogong is a Qingliu family, the first Qin, Lanling Xiao is a top ten prime minister!" ”
As soon as Yang Fu heard this, he had a headache and said, "What else?" ”
Wei Ying shook his head and said, "Han Gong and Shen Guogong don't know who pushed them out, I'm just afraid that the weight is not light." However, fortunately, you have the trust of His Majesty, and the emperor's grace has received more than others. ”
Yang Fu nodded with a reluctant smile, and sighed: "It's just a matter of people," he said, and asked Wei Ying casually: "Will Shoufu fall on Liang Guogong's head?" ”
Wei Ying's eyes were gloomy, and he said: "It's not certain at the moment, after all, Liang Guogong is the emperor's teacher, and eight or nine are not far from ten." But if it really falls on Liang Guogong's body," Wei Ying sighed: "I'm afraid that Cai Guogong's success will be big!" ”
Coming out of the Mansion of the Kingdom of Qiu, Yang Fudi was in a heavy mood.
He obviously felt that Wei Ying had something to say, so he naturally felt a little worried in his heart.
Could it be that Wei Ying and Li Junzhi are one singing white face and the other red face, so they have to let him exchange Yang Yuyan's marriage? But if he really does this, he looks at it, and he may not be able to succeed in counting on Wei Ying.
Yang Fu went all the way back to the Yuguo Mansion. At this time, Mrs. Li didn't know that Yang Fu's promotion to the assistant minister of the cabinet was quite a bit of a twist and turn. She was thinking about how to find an opportunity to push Deng Yuxi out.
"The concubine has done a lot of wrong things before, but I'm afraid that if I say one more word now, the master won't listen. Besides, you also know that Yang Qiqi and Wen Yan have the same virtue as that slut, and they are good at demagoguery. Wen Yan bewitched the heart of the ancestor before, but now Yang Qiqi is doing the same, so that Grandpa Guo is obedient to her! ”
Old Madam Cui was cold, and said in a calm voice: "Go and call Yu Guogong, I'll talk to him!" ”
