Chapter 607: Trembling, Walking on Thin Ice
"Elder Ge somehow lost his temper like this today."
In the evening, two officials in red robes came out of the noon gate, and from a distance, the city wall was tall and the figures seemed small, so it was difficult to hear what was being said, but the action was still a little intense.
Zhang Xuan spread his hands and said: "No matter how old the cabinet is, he is still the head of the cabinet." If the holy will cannot be understood, it is still okay to show it to the emperor, right? ”
Qi Chengsui had a strange look in his eyes.
His relationship with Yang Yiqing is well known to the world, Zhang Xuan actually said such things in front of him, and after pressing a trace of doubt, he mentioned another matter, "Zhejiang Governor Wang Qiong is going to Shaanxi, do you know?" ”
"I've heard it."
"Eight or nine is not far from ten."
"Then Fujian Governor Fengxi went north to Shanxi, do you know?"
Zhang Xuan blinked twice, "Then what's the matter?" ”
Wang Qiong was not liked by Wang Wei, even the elder didn't like him, so he switched to Wang Bing and took him as the backer of Beijing. That Feng Xi is Wang Jizhi's right and left hand, in other words, if there is any key thing in the future between Shanxi and Shaanxi in the north, it is not the elder of the pavilion who will come forward, but the two of them. ”
Zhang Xuan understands this, and it seems that the Son of Heaven will also use this kind of 'interpersonal relationship'.
For example, when he sent an envoy to Ningxia, the Son of Heaven should have deliberately pushed him under the account of Yang and Qi, and at the same time used the relationship between Wang Tingxiang and Yang Yiqing to let Wang Tingxiang fully assist him.
To put it simply, the emperor is also using the connections of his courtiers.
If this logic is true, then it is the other way around now, after Wang Tingxiang left, Yang Yiqing couldn't say anything in the northwest.
But Shanxi and Shaanxi must be involved in the affairs of Qingtun, not to mention the monopoly of power, as the first to replace the emperor to settle the affairs there, how can you do it without words?
As to why the emperor did this, everyone has their own guesses.
The most direct and common speculation is that the emperor wants to help up Wang Wei and Wang Bing in the back, does it mean that the Son of Heaven is dissatisfied with Yang Yiqing?
Qi Chengsui didn't dare to say it, he couldn't understand it.
Zhang Xuan also sees only one trend.
But in any case, this personnel transfer is good news for Zhang Zhang, because Yang Yiqing can only rely on him more in order not to be 'marginalized' in the clean-up of the military cantonment.
This is not difficult to guess, and Qi Chengsui also knows it.
Because of this, Qi Chengsui felt that Zhang Xuan was a little dishonest, so he dared to talk about the elders in front of him, but for the sake of the overall situation, he only reminded,
"Elder Ge and His Majesty have known each other for many years, and his reminder is bound to be reasonable. Besides, you and I have a lot of responsibilities to ourselves. I want to give His Majesty an explanation for the matter of Jizhou. The remaining eight towns, Bingyong also has to give an explanation. ”
Saying this, the old guy also gently patted Zhang Xuan's shoulder.
The so-called old fox is like this, and when he said this, the arrogance in Zhang Xuan's heart suddenly disappeared a lot.
The emperor sent him to inspect the border towns, this thing is not so easy to do, the emperor above is not easy to fool at will, and the soldiers and ruffians below are not at your disposal.
"Da Sima, what you said is extremely true!" Zhang Xuan was one position behind and said.
It is said that when the court elders attach more importance to him, in fact, if he wants to be comfortable as a 'patrol of the imperial history', how can he not have the help of the cabinet leader?
Zhang Xuan was just worried that the emperor would be in ...... It's not arbitrary, but just the beginning of Yang Yiqing.
In this case, jumping ship can be done in time.
The situation is not clear, and you can only tremble, which has always been the case in officialdom.
On March 5, the emperor went to Shaanxi and Fujian respectively, and in the evening, the palace handed over the holy decree, and the eunuch who was in charge of the official department and the eunuch who was in charge of the seal personally delivered the decree.
Wang Qiong, the governor of Zhejiang, was appointed governor of Shaanxi, and Feng Xi, the governor of Fujian, was appointed governor of Shanxi.
On 6 March, Wang Tingxiang and Wang Jing, who had stepped down, also had new posts, Wang Tingxiang was governor of Sichuan, and Wang Jing was governor of Shuntian.
Wang Tingxiang is still very young, he is only thirty-seven years old, and it is still too early to enter Beijing, so he wants him to go south to Sichuan and continue to herd one side.
Wang Jing replaced Gu Renyi, the governor of Shuntian, an old minister in his sixties with great prestige and high status, and the situation in the next two years was even more intense, and Shuntian Mansion needed such a person who could calm the scene.
Gu Renyi is a little young, and in the early years, he used his momentum to sweep away the tail of the Gyeonggi division of fields. Now, times have changed, and it is natural to adjust.
All kinds of rumors are flying in the capital, but it took two days to finally confirm some of them, and they are almost the same as the previous rumors.
This is a stone that stirs up a thousand waves.
But it's not the most exciting time, after all, these people are just leveling down.
On the evening of March 7, the night before the final closing meeting.
A lot of people can't sleep.
According to the situation in the previous days, after tomorrow's meeting, the Son of Heaven will definitely mobilize the remaining people in place.
And tomorrow's meeting, except for the Grand Governor, only the four members of the cabinet can speak.
Therefore, there are a lot of people in their house.
Wang Qiong also brought Ye Shu'an, the political envoy of Zhejiang, to visit with him.
The mind is self-explanatory.
However, Wang Bing didn't dare to agree to anything, "Don't look at Your Majesty's focus on the north, thinking that the south is not important, in fact, Zhejiang is related to Pinghaibo and millions of taels of sea trade silver every year. ”
In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has exported a lot of tea, and there are many tributes to Beijing, and the old man's house is the most excellent, only taking the dew in the morning.
Wang Bing took a sip and felt a fragrance lingering between his teeth.
"What Wang Ge Lao said is very true, and because of this, Ge Lao should pay more attention to Zhejiang."
Wang Bingxin said no wonder Wang Wei doesn't like this old boy, the desire for power is heavier than those of them who are cabinet ministers, everyone has gone to Shaanxi, what are you still worried about in Zhejiang?
Wang Qiong observed the words, as if he had noticed something, and immediately said: "Xiaguan is also thinking about Wang Ge Lao. ”
"You want to say that Wang Tingxiang has left Shaanxi, and Wang Jizhi's people have also arrived in Shanxi, so we have a chance, right?"
"Ge Lao Mingjian. Exactly. ”
If he, Wang Qiong, takes Wang Bing as his backer, he naturally hopes that this backer will be stronger.
But Wang Bing didn't think so, he began to shake his head frequently, "If Your Majesty's transfer of Wang Tingxiang is to dismantle Yang Yingning's platform, then what is the purpose of transferring you to leave Zhejiang?" ”
Wang Qiong's heart was shocked.
Cabinet and cabinet, each one is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Wang Bing continued to smell the fragrance of tea, and said slowly: "The old man knows that you are reluctant, but you shouldn't remember the affairs of Zhejiang." ”
It's simple, but it goes straight to the heart of the matter.
And it sounds better, he can have a in Zhejiang, the key is Zhejiang's silver.
Zhejiang is still his own people, so he Wang Qiong's wealth road will not be broken.
However, he has this mind, and it is okay to deceive others, but he can't deceive Wang Bing.
"Elder Ge, it's a reminder." Wang Qiong was a little uncomfortable.
He rushed left and right in Beijing, but he seemed to have no way out.
In fact, the fundamental reason behind it is very simple, because the emperor is too strong, no matter who he asks, he can't protect him.
"If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government." Wang Bing didn't look at Ye Shu'an at all, "If you can't think through this, the old man advises you to resign as soon as possible, and you can also save your head." ”
!!
Ye Shu'an on the side heard it in a fog, originally he was trying to find a way for the elder pavilion, but he felt like his head was going to fall off.
He wanted to say something, but when he looked at Wang Qiong, the latter shook his head at him slightly.
Wang Qiong thought about it and asked, "Don't mention the matter of Zhejiang." How do you deal with it? ”
"What to deal with?"
"Wang Tingxiang has left Shaanxi."
Wang Bing's expression remained unchanged, "Why should I deal with Wang Tingxiang's departure from Shaanxi?" ”
This night, Wang Qiong found nothing. He only felt that the officialdom of this Jingshi seemed to have completely changed, and he was not familiar with it at all.
After he left.
A young man walked into Wang Bing's study, looking like he was in his twenties, just beginning to grow a beard, he was slightly fat, and he looked a little honest, but he didn't look like his father at all.
"Dad, I just bumped into Dehua Gong outside, he seems to be ...... The interest was not very high. ”
Wang Bing kept his head down and was writing, "Not interested? Looking for death and not finding a way, are you unwilling? ”
"Uh...... Didn't he just become the governor of Shaanxi? This is a manifestation of His Majesty's entrustment, how can we talk about looking for death? ”
"And what do you think?"
"The child thinks that Wang Dehua is an important minister in the territory, and since he has this heart, we might as well make a good fate. Besides, there is indeed some truth in the change of the royal court that he said. ”
"There's a." Wang Bing directly burst into foul language, and as soon as he arrived home, he began to do this, "Yang Yingning was born in the northwest, served as the governor of Shaanxi, and vigorously promoted the revival of Ma Zheng, and later the governor of the three sides, most of his official career in the past few decades has been in the northwest, and it is inevitable that the Son of Heaven will deconstruct his influence in the northwest, and the difference is only in time." What kind of change is this? Let me ask you again, why Wang Tingxiang was able to serve as the governor of Shaanxi, do you remember? ”
His son was stunned, but his memory seemed to be okay, "Shaanxi coincided with the rebellion of people in Jingyang and Xianning. ”
"That's not it, Wang Tingxiang's reappointment as governor of Shaanxi has to be done for the sake of the situation. The extremes of things must be reversed, that's all. Why do they all regard Yang Yingning as such a stupid person, so easy to offend His Majesty and cause accidents? ”
"Then in that case, why should my father see this Wang Dehua again?"
Wang Bing sighed, his son has no talent, and officialdom especially needs sensitivity and sensitivity to politics.
If it was someone else, he didn't bother to talk about it, but what his son said was a little bit, and if he didn't have big achievements in the future, he could at least save his life.
"Being in the court, these things have to be done. The Son of Heaven has the intention to dismantle Yang Yiqing, and he has to cooperate with his father and Wang Jizhi. In the cabinet, assisting the chief is the way to survive, and coercing the chief is also the way to survive. Therefore, everyone says that walking on the officialdom is trembling and walking on thin ice. Do you understand? ”
The little fat man shook his head, his eyes were very sincere.
Wang Bingdu stunned him, and he couldn't hold back his temper for a while, and scolded: "Go back to the room to study!" Don't get too close to this person in the future!! ”
