0885 exchange
Although Zhang Juzheng was calm when he heard this, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart! He looked at the eyes of Emperor Wanli and him looking at each other calmly, and suddenly felt that he was a little old! Back then, Emperor Wanli was just an ignorant child, but now he has skillfully used the trick of political exchange!
Now that Emperor Wanli has set out the conditions, the promotion of the Shenji Camp can be handed over to the cabinet, and the reputation will also belong to you! But correspondingly, the pressure from the officialdom on the cabinet must also be borne! Everyone here knows very well how many officials those salt merchants have bought over the years, and how many children and scholars have been trained to enter the imperial court! How deep their roots are, how terrible the backlash is!
But would Zhang Juzheng be afraid of this? He certainly won't! As the second person in the world, what he is thinking about is Zhongxing Daming, and by the way, let himself be famous in history! How could he let go of such a great feat? It's just that he wants to know what he has to pay to get this deed?
However, after Zhang Juzheng glanced at the two confessions, he had roughly guessed what Emperor Wanli wanted? So he immediately said, "Your Majesty has this thought, and it is indeed a blessing to all the people! The old minister will bear this matter with all his might!"
When Emperor Wanli heard Zhang Juzheng say this, he knew that Zhang Ju was waiting for him to make an offer, so he smiled and said, "Since that's the case, it's going to be Mr. Hard!" But then again, this matter also needs to be supervised by Jinyiwei. And Jin Yiwei has been a little tired of doing things over the years, and I want to arrange someone else to take over the affairs of Jin Yiwei! Please help me consider a candidate!"
Hearing this, Zhang Juzheng asked knowingly, "I don't know if Your Majesty has anyone you like?"
Emperor Wanli's eyes flashed and said, "Wu Ning Hou Liu Haojia is quite capable, I think he can take over the Jinyi Guard!"
But Zhang Juzheng didn't want Liu Haojia to take the position! Because Jinyiwei is an intelligence agency with a fairly high ability to collect intelligence! This is of great significance to him, the first assistant! If a chief assistant can't be deaf and clear, wouldn't he be fooled to death by the officials below!
And Liu Haojia has always been inclined to Emperor Wanli, if he is allowed to take over the Jinyi Guard, then he will definitely not share the information with him, then he will not be like a deaf and blind man in the future! So he stroked his beard and said, "Lao Chen knows that Jinyiwei promoted a commander Tongzhi some time ago, he has been doing things for many years, has experienced qualifications, and according to Lao Chen, it is much better to let him take over Jinyiwei than Wu Ninghou!" Wu Ninghou is still young after all, and he still needs to go through some training!"
Emperor Wanli smiled and said, "I also know what Mr. said! It's just that this person has been in Jinyiwei for many years, but he has no merit, and he is extremely mediocre! Although Wu Ninghou is young, he has done many great things since he joined the company, which shows that his ability is outstanding! Besides, Wu Ninghou should also know the truth of Xiao Gui and Cao Sui, and he will not move around some rules."
Zhang Juzheng understood that this was a condition issued by Emperor Wanli! In other words, Emperor Wanli can guarantee that Liu Haojia's rules for sending various information to the Prime Minister after taking over the Jinyi Guard will not change! However, it is difficult to say whether there is any concealment and whether there will be any changes in the order before and after! So Zhang Juzheng was a little hesitant!
Because intelligence is too important to him, except for extremely critical information, it doesn't matter to him whether it is sent late or early. But if Liu Haojia really has the intention to hide something from him, then the problem is very serious, enough to cause him to make a mistake in judgment! And when it comes to his position, he walks on thin ice every day, and he can't afford the loss of misjudgment!
Emperor Wanli saw that Zhang Juzheng didn't speak, so he hurriedly said, "Sir, if you want to say that Wu Ninghou has a preference, there must be some! But the gentleman should also be able to see something, that is, this man still has a sense of righteousness!"
Zhang Juzheng understood that Emperor Wanli was vaguely telling him, there was no need to worry that Liu Haojia would be unfavorable to him after mastering the Jinyi Guard, and he would deliberately conceal and modify some things! As long as it is from official business, he can vouch for Liu Haojia, but he does not make any guarantees for things outside of business!
Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng felt a little embarrassed in his heart! The little man in front of him has grown up and has begun to claim his rights like the emperors of the past!
In fact, he only recalled now that when Liu Haojia arranged for a thousand gendarmes to stay in Beijing in the name of collecting taxes, it was the first step for the emperor to seize power! He wanted to make sure of his own safety before he went all out! Sure enough, the second step was to seize the east
Factory!
In the past two years, Zhang Jia has washed and washed the palace, and killed and injured countless palace maids and eunuchs! Now there are two major factions in this palace, one is the Feng Bao faction, and the other is the Zhang Jia faction! The two sides are already incompatible! However, Feng Bao still has the upper hand, just because he still has the big Buddha of Empress Dowager Li behind him!
But Zhang Juzheng also knows one thing, that is, the final winner must be Zhang Jia! Because the Wanli Emperor behind him is too young, and he has plenty of time to gradually grow himself! And once Empress Dowager Li is old and starts to do nothing, it will be the end of Feng Bao!
Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart, and then said with a smile: "If Wu Ninghou can guarantee that he is dedicated to the public, the old minister will not object to him in Jinyiwei!"
The reason why Zhang Juzheng agreed so happily was because he knew that he couldn't stop Liu Haojia from taking the position! Even if he forcibly arranges someone to be the commander, I am afraid that he will be slowly overshadowed by Liu Haojia! Because he has the emperor behind him, he can completely eat away at the Jinyi Guard little by little inside!
And he himself can't blatantly help the new commander! You, a prime minister, meddled in the emperor's pro-army, what do you want to do? Do you want to rebel? Therefore, he can accept the surrender of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, but he can't take the initiative to participate in the internal affairs of the Jin Yiwei! ap.
So far, the two of them have had an exchange of interests, and Zhang Juzheng has achieved the unprecedented achievement of promoting low-cost salt to the world, and he can take this opportunity to further sort out the hundred officials and continue to grasp the court!
But the price to be paid is from today onwards, and the Jinyi Guard will be controlled by the emperor's henchmen! But fortunately, there will be no shortage of information! Although this point has yet to be verified, Zhang Juzheng is not worried that Emperor Wanli will regret it! Because he knew that Emperor Wanli cherished the Ming Dynasty like him, and would not allow Liu Haojia to come!
And Liu Haojia has never done things for personal reasons from the beginning to the present, at least he is trustworthy in terms of conduct. But in the future, if Zhang Juzheng wants to do some personal things through Jinyiwei, I'm afraid it will not be so convenient! And what's even more interesting is that in the whole process of exchanging benefits between the two people, Liu Shouyou, who was a victim, was not even mentioned by name!
