Chapter 626: The enemy advances and I retreat
That night, Yang Tinghe returned to the mansion with a gloomy face, obviously not coming out of the blow yet.
Yang Shen waited in the study early.
After a brief salute, Yang Shen asked, "Why is my father so persistent in opposing His Majesty's mining efforts?"
Yang Tinghe looked sideways, his son was completely on his side before, and now it seems that even his son does not support his almost self-righteous behavior.
"What did you hear in the Han Garden?"
Yang Tinghe asked.
As a father, in Yang Tinghe's view, the change in his son's attitude should be influenced by the public opinion of the people around him.
Yang Shen smiled bitterly, his expression was somewhat desolate: "Everyone else cares about Er's identity, so naturally they won't talk about today's events in front of Er, but even if they don't say it, Er's will know that this matter is ...... None of them will be on my father's side."
In one sentence, Yang Tinghe felt that he had betrayed his relatives.
"Father, in fact, the mining in Xishan is basically a noble and some court officials, if my father insists on closing the coal mine in Xishan, they will definitely oppose it, for fear that it will be detrimental to my father's future governance."
Yang Shen meant to persuade Yang Tinghe to stop.
But how could Yang Tinghe not know the trick?
Even afterwards, Yang Tinghe was very annoyed, why was he so impulsive at that time, and he actually turned his face with the emperor in public?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the situation was under control at the beginning, until Tang Yin suddenly appeared and spoke for the little emperor, and since then everything has changed, his emotions are no longer controlled, and he is bent on suppressing the arrogance of the little emperor, so he is angry.
Yang Shen said, "Fortunately, His Majesty is also very impulsive in the court, and there is still room for maneuver in this matter...... In my son's opinion, my father can make His Majesty a ruler who does not learn or act arbitrarily, so as to protect my father's reputation."
The current situation has developed to the point where it is necessary to belittle the emperor in order to highlight Yang Tinghe and be right.
It is tantamount to saying that he wants to completely stink the reputation of the little emperor, so as to show that Yang Tinghe is a minister who dares to give direct advice and offend the faint monarch, as for the nobles and officials of the court who open mines, they can't take care of them, and treat them as vested interests, even if they know that this will push them to the side of the little emperor, they can't fail in the field of public opinion.
"Go down, don't worry about it." Yang Tinghe drank with a straight face, with his political wisdom, how could he not understand the joints?
As Yang Shen analyzed, as long as in the eyes of outsiders, the little emperor is stubborn and acts like Zhu Houzhao, then this matter will become Rashomon, and even those ministers who do not stand on his side today, looking back and thinking about the serious consequences of the little emperor's centralization of power, then he can also be invincible.
But there are some things that can be seen through and not said, once they are pierced, it will be a great obstacle to the reputation of the father and son, it is better to let it go first, and then see how the situation changes.
……
……
Yang Tinghe thought that the little emperor would drop out of the court because of the contradiction with him, or make a lot of nonsense at the court meeting.
As long as the little emperor loses his temper, then he Yang Tinghe will win.
As long as others think that Yang Tinghe has done the right thing and suppresses the little emperor's restless heart, victory will be within reach.
But he was wrong.
After Zhu Hao's explanation, Zhu Si had completely calmed down.
Now Zhu Si clearly knows that just counting the gains and losses of Xishan Coal Mine is no longer the key to success or failure, even if all the coal mines are lost, at least win back the hearts and minds of the people, and there will be no loss!
In particular, those ministers who have huge opinions about Yang Tinghe's bullying and abuse of power must be brought to heart.
All Zhu Si didn't seem to be affected at all.
On the same day, the review was still reviewed, and even Zhu Zhu's draft of the cabinet was mainly adopted, and the next day, as always, he participated in the court meeting on time and handled government affairs diligently.
In the court.
Tang Yin was not there, and no one mentioned yesterday's events.
Yang Tinghe's face was gloomy, and he waited for the little emperor to get angry, but Zhu Si never mentioned a word about the Xishan Coal Mine.
As the court discussion continued, Yang Tinghe felt as if he had lost something.
"Jiefu, the situation is not right!"
At the end of the court meeting, on the way back to the duty room of the cabinet members, Jiang Mian leaned over and whispered to Yang Tinghe.
Mao Ji next to him analyzed: "Maybe Your Majesty retreated because of the difficulties and didn't want to start any more disputes."
Mao Ji meant that there was no situation, that is, the little emperor was frightened by Yang Tinghe's strength yesterday, and the little emperor probably realized that his throne was not easy to come by, as long as Yang Tinghe joined forces with Empress Dowager Zhang, he could depose his throne, so he didn't dare to argue with Wenchen anymore.
Yang Tinghe is obviously not as optimistic as Mao Ji.
If you want to win the hearts of the people, you must first portray Zhu Si as an unscrupulous and unscrupulous monarch who acts arbitrarily and does not follow the rules, and it is best to say that he ignores the family law of his ancestors...... In short, how can you be disgusted, how can the little emperor come.
But now the little emperor's actions are another saint's demeanor.
Yesterday we were fighting, but today I can put the old things behind me and not bring them to deal with state affairs with personal feelings.
What will those civil servants think?
They must feel that the little emperor is the material for doing great things, and has the potential of a wise monarch through the ages.
On the other hand, you Yang Tinghe did too much yesterday, and he didn't play an exemplary role at all.
"How so?"
Yang Tinghe couldn't figure it out.
Based on his previous observations and understanding of the little emperor, he felt that Zhu Si should belong to the kind of temperament that is a little impatient, but he is frizzy and frivolous, but he is very paranoid and willful, and does not listen to people's persuasion, otherwise he would not be so persistent in the matter of great etiquette and mining affairs.
But in just one day, the little emperor of mathematics, physics and chemistry will be transformed?
How can it be?
……
……
Yang Tinghe returned to the cabinet duty.
Here, Wei Bin, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, came to pass the word: "Yang Ge Lao, the Empress Dowager is ......
Wei Bin was in the Zhengde Dynasty, and he was also a powerful eunuch, making waves in the inner government system.
Now most of the eunuchs who are also powerful and blessed with him have been demoted and transferred abroad, but he is still safe and sound, mainly because he has "the merit of supporting".
In addition, there are indeed few eunuchs available in the Chengfeng Division of the Xingwang Mansion, even if Zhu Si wants to cultivate his own people, he can't find so many "talents", so he can only find some eunuchs in the old system who have meritorious service to the new emperor and can do things, and stay by his side to temporarily reuse.
This is also to calm the hearts of the people in the court, especially the hearts of the old people in the palace.
Wei Bin and Xiao Jing, who were used by Zhu Si before, and Wei Bin, who is still being appointed, are all in this way.
And Wei Bin, as an old qualification of the inner palace, obeys the orders of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and has nothing to do to help the Empress Dowager Zhang pass a word or something.
Yang Tinghe turned out to be gloomy after reading it, although Empress Dowager Zhang was very polite to him, the first auxiliary scholar, but also tactfully expressed his willingness to act as a peacemaker between the monarch and the minister, and the implication was that the two sides gave up their prejudices and persuaded him to put state affairs first and not let the monarch and ministers disagree.
"Jiefu, you ......"
The second assistant Jiang Mian walked over, wondering what the content of Yi Zhi was. Yang Tinghe ignored him, closed the Yi Zhi, looked at Wei Bin and asked, "Does Grandpa Wei have anything else to explain?"
Wei Bin smiled and said, "Elder Yang Ge, the affairs of the DPRK and China are now presided over by you, and it is really my great pillar, anyone can fall, you can't fall...... These are the original words of the Queen Mother, and she also said that Your Majesty is young and the pro-government days are short, and I hope that Yang Ge will always focus on court affairs, and don't hurt the harmony of the monarch and ministers because of some trivial things."
Praise and stomp.
Empress Dowager Zhang not only affirmed Yang Tinghe's indispensable position in the Ming Dynasty and expressed her support for him, but also pointed out that your actions in the court yesterday were suspected of being arrogant and not easy for the world to accept.
As the head of the cabinet, you can't be too obsessed with the small profits in front of you, and you should take the overall situation into account.
Yang Tinghe really wanted to say that if my old bones were not for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty, I would not have stopped the little emperor from "doing wrong".
What the little emperor is doing now seems to be opening up the financial path for the imperial court, but
This kind of whimsical behavior of breaking the rules will definitely lead the court astray.
It's not enough to have a misbehaving Emperor Zhengde in front, and now you have to add an Emperor Jiajing?
Da Ming can no longer stand the toss!
"The Empress Dowager also said that if there is anything that Yang Ge Lao can't see, you can go to Renshou Palace to ask her for peace, and the Empress Dowager will personally persuade her."
Wei Bin let out another sentence.
Meaning:
If you still can't let go, the Queen Mother will meet you in person, and it will be meaningless to persuade you in person.
Yang Tinghe said, "Dare to ask Gonggong Wei, did Your Majesty go to visit the Queen Mother yesterday?"
"This ...... Probably not."
Wei Bin wasn't very sure, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "But Your Majesty sent someone to inform the Queen Mother about yesterday's events, and Your Majesty seems to feel that yesterday was a little impulsive...... In fact, if it weren't for His Majesty's intention to ease, how could the Queen Mother be willing to take a bridge?"
"Oh."
When Yang Tinghe heard this, his heart finally felt a little more comfortable.
Could it really be as Mao Ji said, the little emperor was frightened back by his strong remarks?
If you don't back down early and don't back down later, taking the initiative to endure at this time will make me fall into great passivity!
As long as you are stronger, even if you are not messing around, as long as there is a long-term struggle between the monarch and the minister, then I have the confidence to pull back the heart of the civil and official group.
But now that you have relented, and I, as a courtier, continue to be tough, wouldn't that be in response to the criticism of others...... Say I'm a bully? Arrogating? Don't know the respect for the emperor?
Wei Bin said, "Elder Yang Ge, let's do it. The Queen Mother held a banquet in the Wenhua Hall to entertain a few elders, and His Majesty will also go when the time comes, so it should be a wine...... I hope that a few elders will not refuse."
Jiang Mian wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he heard that Empress Dowager Zhang was so resolute and bent on being a peacemaker, he felt that these measures were simply a needle in Yang Tinghe's body.
Instinctively, Jiang Mian pretended to be an ostrich, and when he didn't hear anything, he returned to the desk and continued to pick up the music to read.
Yang Tinghe said, "No need."
"What you want, a few cabinet elders to assist the new monarch, hard work, the queen mother is not a separate banquet, just the queen mother and His Majesty's mother and son to the reward of several cabinet elders, and then invite a few important ministers of the court to accompany ...... In this case, our family will go back and tell the Queen Mother that this banquet will definitely be arranged."
Wei Bin's words obviously have an advanced process.
Yang Tinghe saw that this was all from the instructions of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and if he showed that he didn't want to reconcile, he would say the rest of the words.
It can be regarded as giving him this first assistant face.
