Chapter 403: The Way of Others
Dong Jincai's eyes are very big, his eye sockets are still a little deep, and he is tall, he is indeed a little similar to the alien races in northern and western Xinjiang, Gao Tingfeng's words made Emperor Yongchang think it was true, originally, this is the candidate in his heart.
Wang Yingcheng didn't speak, he knew that Dong Jin was a villain, and he would repay him, so he wanted to protect himself.
Shen Mingyun was not afraid of Dong Jincai, he thought about it in all aspects, and said: "Lord Dong is good, but he is a little old." ”
Gao Tingfeng retorted: "Lord Shen's words are wrong, Lord Dong is less than fifty, it is when he is in the prime of life, and Lord Dong's mother died only two years ago, which proves that he is likely to live a long life." ”
Emperor Yongchang did not express his position, but in the court on the next day, he threw the question out again, this time, Shen Mingyun, Gao Tingfeng, and Wang Yingcheng all resolutely supported, who of the other ministers dared to brush these three tiger whiskers? Dong Jincai was so anxious that he wet his court clothes in a cold sweat, and he couldn't change the situation, and finally obediently accepted the order.
The courtiers who were scattered and had a gap with Dong Jin were all very happy, and even Shen Mingzhao couldn't help but joke in front of the prince: "Lord Dong is indeed a little too fat, it's good to go out for a walk, it's hard to buy old and thin people if you have money." ”
The prince burst into laughter.
When the news reached the palace, Concubine Miaode was answered by several princes, and immediately thought that it was Concubine Zheng Xian, she sent the news out, and Dong Jin was so angry that she scolded Concubine Zheng Xian: "Slut, at the beginning, if you didn't have my support, would you be able to stand in the palace?" ”
Even Mrs. Dong didn't support this, if Concubine Zheng Xian hadn't been constrained by Dong Jincai and Concubine Miaode, she might have been able to argue with the concubine.
Dong Jin easily calmed himself down, trying to find a way to make the emperor change his mind, after all, this is a big event, and it will take several months to prepare, he doesn't need to be in a hurry, work slowly, he firmly believes that the last envoy will definitely be another.
Qian Jun pushed things to this extent, seeing that there was only one last handful, but he was busy, Shi Zhenzong rectified the generals brought by Liu An, causing extreme dissatisfaction among those people, Liu An saw that the time was ripe, and took the lead in boycotting military training, he thought, Shi Zhenzong didn't dare to do anything to him, but he didn't expect that Shi Zhenzong was merciless, in front of a group of soldiers, ordered someone to rip off his pants, and beat him with twenty military sticks, Liu An was ashamed and angry, and quietly asked his friends in the military department to transfer it, and folded bullets to impeach Shi Zhenzong for corruption and empty salary.
The emperor has always trusted Shi Zhenzong very much, but for more than 20 years, people will change, especially Liu An also wrote very reasonably: "Shi Zhenzong is a gentleman on the surface, a villain on the inside, his training methods are ruthless, and the sergeants are seriously damaged, and the imperial court has never been less than a penny, and the gap during the period has gone into Shi Zhenzong's pocket, otherwise, the Shi family is a country man, how can he be rich?" In the land of Liangzhong Province, the squires, landlords and big businessmen don't know how many, so it will not be the turn of the Shi family to show up. ”
Emperor Yongchang originally planned to send Zuo Shilang of the military department to the Yanshan camp, but Wang Yingcheng, a scholar, immediately objected: "Your Majesty, with Marshal Shi's temperament, qualifications and ability, only the Prince of Nanhai can suppress him in the court, otherwise, if there is any change, it will be a big deal." ”
Emperor Yongchang immediately felt a little flustered, if the marshal who led the army of more than 100,000 was angry, in case of rebellion, it would be really troublesome, he thought about it, and thought that although Qian Jun had a good relationship with Shi Zhenzong, he was more loyal to the imperial court, and he would definitely not cheat for personal gain and tolerate Shi Zhenzong, so the holy decree came down and sent Qian Jun to the Yanshan camp to check the accounts.
Although Lai Baoer also has a plan, the owner is not there, and I feel a little uncertain.
Qian Jun told him: "If you have something to discuss with the princess, what is she capable of, you don't know, your mother also knows." ”
Lai Bao'er smiled: "Hehe, I haven't been to salute the princess for a long time, and I almost forgot about this stubble." ”
As soon as Qian Jun left, Dong Jincai jumped up on his back foot, he looked around, and knew that he was recommended as an envoy this time, not a few cabinet officials, then there was only one person left - Qian Jun, now, finally transferred people out of Beijing, how could he not step up his actions?
Lai Bao'er heard that Dong Jincai was very perfunctory about the preparations, didn't he know that any omission would cause incalculable serious consequences, wasn't Dong Jincai afraid of death? No, Dong Jincai is so selfish, he must be more desperate than anyone else, and his actions can only express one meaning - he has a way not to go on this trip.
Wen Jin listened to Lai Bao'er's words and smiled: "Don't worry, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, just his little trick, how can you be difficult for you, a great talent from Hanlin?" ”
Lai Bao'er was very ashamed: "The princess has a good reputation, Dong Jincai is still a little capable, and the younger brother is afraid of what happens." Wen Jin has always asked him to follow his previous name, although Lai Baoer did not have it, but he called himself a younger brother, which can be regarded as a commemoration of the love between his sister and brother in the past.
Wen Jin shook his head and smiled: "Dong Jincai, an old tree with a crooked neck, there was also a period of time, and it was crawling with monkeys, although it has dispersed a lot, but there will still be a few left, you wait, over there in the imperial history, someone will impeach him soon." ”
Lai Baoer immediately understood what Wen Jin meant: "Is he hoping to get rid of the goal of being the ambassador of Northern Xinjiang by belittling himself?" ”
Wen Jin nodded: "I guessed so." ”
"What if he succeeds?" Lybauer was a little anxious.
"What's going on with Boa? Follow the prince, you will be full of wisdom, follow me, you will be stupid? ”
Bao'er was amused: "Isn't this a habit of playing small?" With my mother here, I'm just a little naughty boy, and I don't understand anything stupidly. ”
"If he wants to belittle himself, then let people stomp on him a few times, and he can get rid of this mission, but he will have to pay the price."
"Let the emperor belittle his officials again?"
"Well, Dong Jincai is not willing to take risks and contribute, but also wants to keep his official position, how can there be any good thing?"
This time, Wen Jin's pulse was very accurate, and sure enough, within a few days, there was a speech official, impeaching Dong Jincai for being mediocre and misleading, and Emperor Yongchang suppressed it, who knew that the next day, there were three speech officials who were impeached at once, and several cases of Dong Jincai's bad things were listed on the fold, so that Emperor Yongchang once shook his confidence in letting Dong Jincai go out.
Dong Jin saw that several impeachments in succession did not work, and he was also very anxious, so he hinted to several of his protégés to make the impeachment bigger, and sure enough, Emperor Yongchang raised the issue of replacement in the cabinet, Dong Jin only knew, and he was very happy, so he sent someone to send a letter to let the protégé impeach a little more severely.
Who knows that this time, his actions seem to be bigger, attracted the attention of other courtiers in the court, back then, Yushi Liang Jingmin wrote a letter to impeach Dong Jincai, but in the end it was unsuccessful, now, he has been old, ready to resign and go home, seeing his old enemy himself made trouble, he thought that it was Dong Jincai and the protégé teachers and students turned against each other, so he thought that his opportunity had come, the old man took a step and breathed, and still visited several old men of the Yushitai overnight, asking them to join forces with him to overthrow Dong.
During this period of time when he came to Bao'er, he was active on the side of the Yushitai, he had the resources at hand, the rich connections, and Miao Yongjun's, plus the Shen family brothers, Liang Jingmin was just the reason for the initiation of a matter.
Three days later, the emperor just announced that Dong Jin was useless, revoked his mission to the northern Xinjiang, a round of impeachment storm of Dong, suddenly broke out, within a day, Emperor Yongchang's desk, then piled up more than a foot high impeachment folds, the content of which is varied, Dong Jincai cronyism, party and selfishness, cracking down on dissidents, framing virtuous people, these imperial histories, have already found good materials, all the facts are sufficient, reasonable, Emperor Yongchang does not look at it, even a few copies down, he was so angry that his heart hurt, the prince saw his father's face was not good, Hurriedly brought a cup of tea and let the emperor rest.
"Prince, take a look, take a look, come and tell me."
Qian Jun suspected that the original prince was killed by Dong Jincai, this news had already reached the ears of the concubine, and the new prince regarded Dong Jincai as a big trouble, and at this moment he took the opportunity to fall into the well, he picked out a few of the most powerful twists and turns he thought he had, and showed them to the emperor, and also suggested: "This person is really a wolf in sheep's clothing, he usually pretends to be a good person in the court, but he actually acts so viciously behind the scenes." The retainers thought that he should be handed over to the three legal divisions to be tried, and his sins should be determined and punished according to the law. ”
Emperor Yongchang nodded: "Tomorrow, let the cabinet discuss it first." ”
Dong Jincai didn't expect things to be big, that night, he asked to see a few former opponents overnight, some people were not allowed to enter the house, but someone saw him, and accepted his generous gift - at the moment of life and death, Dong Jincai can also let go, he gave gifts to people, it turned out to be the title deed and the house deed, often counted tens of thousands of taels of silver, money can make the ghost grind, the next day, the impeachment of him was immediately much smaller, and there were even people to help say good things, and Dong Fengchao, the first three days were like a tsunami to destroy the ancient decay, and the back suddenly became a drizzle, even the emperor was aware of the ghosts in it, and he did not implement the plan agreed with the prince.
Although the crown prince was dissatisfied with his father's changes, he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only wait and watch the development of the situation while trying to see how to pull out this thorn in his eye.
Lai Baoer thought that Dong Jin couldn't run away this time, but he didn't expect it to be such a result, disappointed, his expression was sad, and when he saw Wen Jin, he couldn't keep his spirits up.
"Bao'er, don't be discouraged, Dong Jin has only been in the DPRK for many years, the relationship is intertwined, many people hate and fear him, but they have to listen to him, we didn't plan to take him out this time, what are you disappointed about?"
"But didn't he keep his official position and turn down the errand of the envoy?" "No, today, you go to visit a few more imperial historians, let them continue to impeach, don't be discouraged, if someone wants him to fall, he will definitely help push it, Dong Jincai will definitely do something in order to calm the situation, you wait, there will be a good show." Lai Baoer cheered up and went out.
