Chen Jiuchou is an important chess piece planted by Yang Tinghe and his faction in the northwest.

In the past, when he was the governor of Xuanda, it was because of the continuous ground war in Xuanda.

Later, Chen Jiuchou was replaced by Tang Yin, and the emperor did not say that he would dismiss Chen Jiuchou, nor did he say that he would arrange other errands for him, which was equivalent to saying ...... It is a person who has been temporarily forgotten by the court.

Yang Tinghe's faction naturally did not arrange for him to go on other errands, and the officials did not dispatch him, just so that he could come forward to reap the fruits of victory after the war in the northwest was over.

Before, his career was not smooth, but he couldn't fight.

Now that the war is over, An An is steadily serving as the governor of Xuanda, purging the officialdom of Xuanda, and cleaning up the people from the factions such as Lu Wan, Wang Qiong and Jiang Bin, you will always do this, right?

The vacancy of the governor of Datong made Chen Jiuchou temporarily act as the governor of Datong, after all, Chen Jiuchou brought the entire team of Datong from three sides, and he could just operate in Datong.

If it hadn't been for Zhu Si's proposal that day, Chen Jiuchou would have continued to perform the duties of governor of Datong with an official position that did not exist in his own right.

It is equivalent to the double yamen system, and the strange scene that appeared after the new emperor fought with the civil official faction can be understood as that Chen Jiuchou is the governor of Xuanda arranged by the civil officials, and the ruling office is still in Datong, while Tang Yin is the governor of Xuanda appointed by the new emperor, and the ruling place is in Xuanfu.

Originally, the emperor didn't mention it, but the Ministry of War took back the position of Governor of Xuanda and let Chen Jiuchou take office directly.

But now he was questioned by the emperor on the spot, so he ......

All the officials understand one thing, that is, Chen Jiuchou didn't move his nest at all, he was a good official in Datong, and Xuanda still listened to him in many affairs, after all, there were many generals from three sides in the Xuanda system, how could this group of people completely listen to Tang Yin's orders?

Without Chen Jiuchou's permission, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Tang Yin's decree to be implemented around Datong and Yitou Pass.

Some people even get it.

No wonder he has always refused to give Tang Yin the official title of the right squire of the household department or other squires, if he gives it, then in terms of official position, it will surpass Chen Jiuchou's original official position as the governor of Shaanxi, and the official level will crush people to death, then Tang Yin will have the right to command in the northwest, if he doesn't give it, then Chen Jiuchou and the team around Xuanda don't have to listen to Tang Yin.

Zhu Si sneered: "So, now that Tang Qing's family wants to return to the dynasty, you have made it clear that Chen Jiuchou will be in charge of military affairs in Xuanda and other places, and you will not be his choice...... The so-called Tingtui is just making a show for me, right?"

The question is acute.

It sounds very bad, a group of ministers unite to fool the emperor, can they still play like this?

It's hard to hear, but that's right.

"Then I won't give him this position."

Zhu Si seemed to be a stubborn child, and he put down his cruel words on the spot.

Peng Ze hurriedly added: "Your Majesty, now that the military situation of Xuanda has eased down, to complete the construction of the Northwest Pass, it is also for the sake of the army and the people, and only Chen Jiuchou is the most suitable for this errand."

"Peng Qingjia, Zang Feng was removed from the position of Governor of Xuanda before, and before he returned to Beijing, when you recommended Chen Jiuchou to me, you seemed to say the same, right? But what about then?" Zhu Si said coldly.

"This ......"

Peng Ze didn't know how to answer.

Lin Jun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said with a firm attitude: "Your Majesty, it is nothing more than Tang Yin's military achievements in the Inner Three Passes, but Chen Jiuchou has not made a mistake in the Northwest. It was only an expedient measure to use Tang Yin as his general authority to declare military affairs, and now that the Tatars have retreated, it is natural to put things in order and return to the original state."

"Haha, Lin Shangshu, in your opinion, letting thousands of Tatar cavalry unimpeded within the Daming Pass is a sign of no fault, right? In other words, the next time the Tatars come again, as long as the Tatars do not enter the inner three levels, they will gallop on the surface of the Xuandi at will? Is that what you mean?"

Zhu Si was-for-tat.

Lin Jun was speechless for a while.

Qiao Yu, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Your Majesty, the Tatars' looting in our pass was due to the fall of Baiyangkou, but the fall of Baiyangkou did not happen when Chen Jiuchou was in charge of Xuanda military affairs, so the crime is not his. He can ensure that the fortresses of Xuanda are not lost, and it is already a credit."

Zhu Sidao: "Don't talk to me about this! I'll do it

I ask you, if there is no great victory in the three passes including Tang Yin, can the Xuanfu be kept now? Have the Tatars been slaughtered under the capital?"

Qiao Yu still didn't give up: "Your Majesty, this is a hypothesis, and it is not valid. The Xuanfu only said that there were Tatars who invaded the border, but did not report the danger."

Once the argument between the monarch and the minister arose, the question was endless.

This time it's different.

In the past, there were only a few officials speaking there, and they couldn't argue for a reason.

But now about who is the governor of Xuanda, but the emperor is fighting with a few Shangshu, and when he looks at this position, it is relatively high, even if the ordinary officials have ideas in their hearts, when they see this posture, they are silent and concentrate on watching the play.

"I won't lie to you, Xuanda is biased and the other places are biased, and there is no need for two general systems, so I will immediately order the northwest and let Chen Jiuchou return to Beijing to report on his work, and make other arrangements."

Zhu Si's attitude was arrogant and he gave an order directly.

Qiao Yu persuaded bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is a matter for the officials, please take back your order."

It means that even if you are the emperor, you have to listen to our officials, and you should not blindly mix things that our officials have not reported.

Zhu Sidao: "I didn't understand what I said, did I? It means that Chen Jiuchou will not return to Beijing, continue to stay in Datong, and continue to be his Xuanda general? Where does that put Tang Yin? Have you ever considered the idea of the Northwest soldiers? I don't care about anything else, if he doesn't come back, I'll let the brocade guard bring him back!"

Ruthless again.

In Wenchen's opinion, the little emperor was simply unreasonable.

Many people turned their attention to Yang Tinghe for help.

But Yang Tinghe didn't say a word, let alone him, even the other four cabinet ministers on the side also watched coldly, as if this matter had nothing to do with the cabinet.

Obviously, no matter how right you think the civil officials are, Chen Jiuchou's stay in Datong is indeed unjustifiable, and the emperor transferred a resigned governor of Xuanda back to the capital, is this the emperor's misdeeds? If you think that Tang Yin is not suitable for the governor of Xuanda, when Tang Yin took office, you should oppose it to the end, instead of agreeing to it while setting up a Chen Jiuchou in Datong to hold Tang Yin hostage.

One Xuanda, two general yamen, isn't this nonsense?

……

……

This court discussion ended unhappily.

When the ministers left the palace, they were filled with righteous indignation, shouting that the emperor wanted to harm the northwest.

But on the way out of the palace, those who were supposed to go to ask Yang Tinghe's opinion, such as Qiao Yu and Lin Jun, who were fiercely competing with Zhu Si in the court, were all silent at this time.

Nothing else, because they also felt that it was not the emperor who was messing around this time, but rather the self-proclaimed upright civil servants, under the banner of justice, who wanted the emperor to compromise on an issue that could not be compromised...... Xuanda set up two general yamen, if you think you are right, how shameless is it?

What is fighting in the court, what is said in the mouth, and what is now thinking in the heart have become two different things.

Cabinet duty.

Yang Tinghe, who came to the desk, sat down, and not surprisingly, Jiang Mian sat opposite him.

"Your Majesty's attitude is firm, tomorrow may be the last chance, if you can't talk about it again, or Your Majesty really wants to take people with Jinyiwei." Jiang Mian reminded.

Yang Tinghe said, "Your Majesty is using the edict to intimidate us and other ministers."

In the past, the emperor took many scribes who played jointly with Jinyiwei, and he may have tasted the sweetness, so now he can't talk about everything, and directly threatens to use Jinyiwei to get people and replace them as ordinary ministers, and he will definitely be very worried about this.

Everyone knows what kind of place the edict is.

But Yang Tinghe is not afraid.

Your little emperor follows the rules, that's what worries me Yang, I'm not afraid that you will play hard, but afraid that you will play yin.

In the past, all I Yang ate was yin loss, and none of it was obtained by you, the emperor, by brutal means.

The more arrogant you are, the more your legitimacy in power will be doubted by public opinion...... It was you who scared Wenchen

, once they are afraid, they need to find someone to support them, and it is you who help me twist Wenchen back into a rope.

……

……

Just when Yang Tinghe thought that Zhu Si had lost ground and would only use the edict to scare people, and he had taken the absolute initiative in this matter, in the afternoon of the same day, a handwritten performance by Tang Yin from Xuanfu made Yang Tinghe feel that the problem was not simple.

Tang Yin resigned.

When Liu Chun handed over the recital to Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe also carefully verified it from Liu Chun before opening Tang Yin's recital, and sure enough, it was Tang Yin's request for Zhishi's recital...... said that he was old and healthy, and he had no experience as an official, so he couldn't do anything in the northwest, and he just wanted to go back to his hometown to recuperate......

Jiang Mian stepped forward and asked, "What is this...... Retreat as advance?"

Even Jiang Mian felt that Tang Yin used this way to put pressure on the imperial court, so that the people in the court and the Chinese people understood the danger of continuing to keep Chen Jiuchou in the northwest, so that a legitimate Xuanda governor could not issue administrative orders, and the result of the chaos in the military and politics in the northwest was to give the Tatars in the coming year an opportunity to take advantage of.

But Yang Tinghe's thinking was very keen, and he immediately felt that Tang Yin was not advancing at all.

It is likely that Tang Yin really doesn't want to do it.

Is it that no one wants to be involved in the struggle between the emperor and the civil official group, even if it is Tang Yin, he is just an ordinary literati, is he not afraid of ruining his reputation?

Liu Chun asked, "If you come to the court in Japan, Your Majesty ...... What will be the arrangement? Your Majesty will not approve such resignations."

Yang Tinghe stared ahead and shook his head.

Jiang Mian asked, "What did Jiefu think of?"

Yang Tinghe sighed slightly, and said, "Whether it is allowed or not depends on who will take over the military affairs of the General Xuanda."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Chun had just entered the cabinet, and he couldn't understand such a complicated thing at all.

Jiang Mian was stunned.

Fei Hong approached and said, "This means, should it mean that if the person who succeeds Tang Yin is the person Your Majesty likes, then Your Majesty will approve Tang Yin's resignation?" That's the truth, isn't it?"

"Huh."

Jiang Mian smiled bitterly.

The mode of exchange of interests between monarchs and ministers has become so open because of Tang Yin's resignation.

It can be said directly.

It's a deal.
