Princess Yongkang Mansion.

When Yongkang woke up, it was already three poles in the sun, and she had a splitting headache, she couldn't remember the process of fighting last night, but she vaguely knew that she seemed to have lost.

"You were sent back, and you were taken care of all night, and the princess can't do this in the future."

The nurse was on the side to bring tea and water.

Yongkang was naturally angry in his heart, gritted his teeth and said: "He must have used some kind of trick, otherwise how could he not get drunk after drinking a few catties of wine?" ”

Here Yongkang went to bathe and change clothes, and it took a lot of effort to still not wash away the wine in her body, but she hadn't finished cleaning up, and the nurse here came to tell her again, saying that the palace sent someone.

"Grandpa Li?"

Yongkang changed his clothes and walked out, but saw Li Rong holding the imperial decree in his hand and looking at her with a smile.

Li Rong said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a will to convey, and it is about Cui Juma." ”

Yongkang collected his mood and said respectfully: "I don't know what the imperial brother means?" Is it to knight the horse? ”

"Nope." Li Rong said, "Your Majesty sent a decree to let Cui Juma stay in Ningxia Town, serve as a temporary general and deputy commander-in-chief, and assist Yang Yiqing, the governor of Ningxia, in handling local military affairs and other matters. ”

"What?"

Yongkang widened his eyes when he heard this, "Or stay in the northwest?" Zhang Bingkuan was untrustworthy. ”

Li Rong shook his head and said, "Your Highness, did you have any misunderstanding?" You went to a banquet last night and said that you would try to drink, and you seem to have come back drunk first, right? ”

Yongkang was stunned on the spot, and muttered: "Brother Huang also knows?" ”

She originally wanted to go to Zhu Youzhu to complain, saying that Zhang Zhou deliberately let her an eldest princess drink in public to ruin the reputation of the Ming royal family, but only then did she know that Zhang Zhou had not hidden anything from Zhu Youji.

Or maybe her royal brother deliberately let her drink in front of people, or even make a fool of herself.

Li Rong said: "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, Cui Juma's stay in the Northwest Army is helpful for his prestige, and now what can he do when he returns to the capital?" When you are on an errand in the Beijing camp, will there really be a big way out? ”

"Where's the title?" What Yongkang deplored the most was naturally the title that her husband had at his fingertips.

Li Rong said with a smile: "There is still a chance to continue to make meritorious contributions to stay in the northwest, as for this military merit, Your Majesty will also reward meritorious deeds, and he did not say that he would not be knighted, but it depends on the timing." As soon as the war ended, the next move of the Tatars was unknown, and if they were given a knight at this time, it would inevitably be gossiped upon. ”

Yongkang said: "If you are rewarded for your merits, what gossip will others have?" ”

"Cui Juma is a member of the royal family, an errand person in the Zongren Mansion, and he has obtained a knighthood, how can others not gossip? Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, this is Your Majesty's decree, and you don't have to accept it, you can see for yourself. The slave and maid will go back first. ”

Li Rong didn't want to talk nonsense with Yongkang.

The emperor's will is the final arrangement, whether you, the eldest princess, accept it or not, or you are not qualified to oppose it.

Yongkang was naturally angry in his heart, and he didn't even send her a guest.

After the nurse came out, she comforted: "It's a good thing that the horse has won the general's position." ”

Yongkang angrily threw the imperial decree on the table, and said with a look of shame and indignation: "The imperial brother would rather listen to an outsider now than make decisions for his imperial sister!" What is a deputy commander-in-chief? Not to mention the adventure, let us be thousands of miles apart, and we may not have the opportunity to meet in the future. ”

……

……

Cabinet.

The letter of appointment of Cui Yuan, drafted by the Hanlin Yuan, also quickly reached the ears of the three cabinet ministers.

While taking advantage of the lunch break to eat, Li Dongyang seemed to think about it: "It's strange to say, Cui Maoren can be regarded as Wang Dehua's promotion, but he was left in the northwest and not recalled, and he didn't get the Juelu he deserved, so he was a little surprised." ”

Xie Qian asked with a smile: "Do you think that Cui Maoren's military exploits are not in Zhang Bingkuan's plan?" ”

Li Dongyang said: "It also shows that the previous plan was not wrong, or you can get closer to Cui Maoren." But it's Wang Dehui's side, who has recently ...... It didn't go well. ”

The three of them in the cabinet are also having a headache now.

The previous plan was to tie Wang Hua and Wang Shouren father and son to the side of traditional Wenchen, originally they thought that the difficulty was in the fledgling Wang Shouren, and they were afraid that Wang Shouren would not know each other, so they first looked for Wang Hua, who was easier to start.

It turned out to be ...... Wang Hua seems to be more oily and salty than his son.

So much so that Wang Hua didn't even seem to care about his own future, and chose to turn a deaf ear to the olive branches thrown by traditional ministers such as the cabinet, which made Li Dongyang, who went to lobby, touch his nose.

The plan to gather the father and son of the Wang family was blocked, and they naturally wanted to target another person, that is, the newly rising Cui Yuan.

Liu Jian said: "The emperor's relatives and relatives, in terms of attitude and principles, are not as firm as their colleagues from Jinshi. ”

Xie Qian seemed to be interested and said: "I heard that there seems to have been a lot of unpleasantness between the eldest princess of Yongkang and Zhang Bingkuan recently, and there are signs of intensification, which may be an opportunity." ”

Liu Jian was not very interested in establishing a relationship with the eldest princess of Yongkang, and he asked rhetorically, "What about Yang Yingning?" ”

Always thinking about winning over those who are not easy to close, it is better to consider Yang Yiqing, whose career is closer to that of traditional Wenchen.

Li Dongyang shook his head and said: "Since the submission of the recital, Yang Yingning has not even been on any recital, and there is no letter sent to the Beijing division in private, as for whether he has secretly communicated with the military department, or what his intentions are, I don't know now." ”

Although Yang Yiqing is a "rising star", in terms of scheming city government, he is no worse than these old fritters in the DPRK and China.

Knowing that he is now the target of public criticism, although Yang Yiqing knows very well that taking refuge in Zhang Zhou is the right way, he maintains a kind of superficial neutrality, does not have direct involvement with any forces in the DPRK and China, and concentrates on doing the errand at hand well before he is transferred from the post of governor of Ningxia.

Xie Qian said: "Yang Yingning is very interesting, he has been a scholar in Shaanxi before, he has managed Ma Zheng, and he has been the governor of Shaanxi earlier, and he knows about the politics of the northwest border but is by no means proficient. Last year, there was such a big mess in the border politics of Ningxia, but His Majesty didn't even take him down, and gave him the opportunity to make meritorious contributions...... Is he trying to reciprocate? ”

Li Dongyang asked: "Yu Qiao, do you mean that he is grateful for Zhang Bingkuan's kindness?" ”

"Huh." Xie Qian smiled and shook his head, "It's hard to say. ”

"Yang Yingning relied on his qualifications in the end, and the appointment of governor of Ningxia was not achieved overnight, if we didn't rely on him, we couldn't expect Wang Dehua and Lu Quanqing to stand on our side." Liu Jian said, taking out a copy of the recitals that had been prepared a long time ago from the top of a stack of recitals, "Tomorrow morning, mention this matter to Your Majesty." ”

Xie Qian took it and took a look: "The Jurchens have a movement again?" ”

Li Dongyang didn't even need to look at the content to know what was said in it, obviously he had paid attention to it before.

After Wang Shouren was transferred to Datong, even Lu Wan, the governor of Liaodong, was transferred back to the capital, and after the governor of Liaodong became Wang Xian, who was born as a traditional civil servant, the Jurchens of Liaodong were given a chance to breathe, and they wanted to "regain lost territory" in a series of ways, and many Jurchens who were placed in southern Liaoning and other places were also secretly migrating, against the previous resettlement policy of the Ming Dynasty.

Even in Fushun and other places, there were small-scale riots.

Although the matter is not too big, Liu Jian thinks that it can be used to play on the topic.

Liu Jian said: "Yang Yingning should also know that it is not only Zhang Bingkuan who can transfer the position of general in the northwest, and let him go to Nu'er to do the work of governing the army, not only to set things right, but also to give him a chance to practice." ”

The Nuer Gandu Division was proposed by Zhang Zhou to be re-established, and the ones under its management were Jianzhou, Haixi Jurchen, etc.

When Yang Yiqing was at his most prosperous now, he must have been waiting for the emperor and Zhang Zhou to transfer him to more important positions, such as replacing Qin Hong as the trilateral commander-in-chief, or transferring him to Xuanfu as a governor, or even adding an official to the lord and having the opportunity to become a squire of the six ministries and transfer back to the capital.

If Yang Yiqing is transferred to Liaodong, it will naturally be a kind of tempering for Yang Yiqing's psychology, which can be regarded as a kind of beating by the cabinet to Yang Yiqing.

Xie Qian smiled and asked, "Your Majesty can agree?" Zhang Bingkuan, you should be able to see our intentions, right? ”

Li Dongyang said: "At this time, it is mentioned that Yang Yingning will be transferred to Liaodong, Your Majesty should not object, since the matter of Liaodong Ping Jurchen is a strategy set by Your Majesty, and now there is chaos, it is reasonable to send a meritorious minister to settle down." Zhang Bingkuan and Yang Yingning didn't seem to have much contact with each other, and he came forward to oppose it at this time, but it happened to be true, and it was expected that Zhang Bingkuan would not oppose it so rashly. ”

Li Dongyang is scheming.

The transfer of Yang Yiqing from the governor of Ningxia to Liaodong was obviously to give Yang Yiqing a dismissal, but it also made Zhang Zhou and even the emperor have nothing to say.

"It's good, it's good."

Xie Qian seemed to understand, and was still smiling and sighing.

It was like a conspiracy, which made Xie Qian feel comfortable, Xie Qian said: "In the past, Zhang Bingkuan was in the dark, and we were in the open, sometimes we had to guess how he would dismantle the moves. It's different now, we're in the dark, and it's a lot more flexible. ”

Li Dongyang and Liu Jian glanced at Xie Qian at the same time.

As if to say.

What is a good thing to think that falling into the shadows, that is, falling into passivity?

In the past, we could take the initiative to suppress Zhang Bingkuan, but nothing worked out, and now let Zhang Bingkuan take advantage of the situation to rise, but let us fall into constraints everywhere, and even be led by his nose, so it is worth celebrating?

Li Dongyang said: "Tomorrow morning, pay attention to your tone when playing, this matter is still due to Qiao, you came to mention it, and it can be regarded as a preparation for advancing and retreating." ”

Xie Qian was the one who proposed it, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian watched the fire from the other side first, and took advantage of the convenience of Xie Qian's tongue, which can be regarded as a dimension for the traditional civil servants to advance and retreat, and if the emperor has strong objections to this matter, it can be regarded as leaving a way back.

"Understood." Xie Qian knew that he was a drudger, and he didn't object to it, anyway, the division of labor in the cabinet has always been like this.

……

……

Liu Jian's plan for the three is set, and they will not overemphasize the need to implement it secretly.

In order to ensure that this matter was legal and reasonable, they first had to draw up a draft vote in Liaodong's Shanglu, and suggested that the emperor transfer Yang Yiqing to Liaodong, so that this matter was actually known to the celebrant before the early court in the coming day.

After Li Rong played with Zhu Youji, Zhu Youzhu didn't seem to feel anything, Li Rong saw that this was a means for the cabinet to win over Yang Yiqing, and it was not easy to expose it in front of the emperor.

When he went to meet with Zhang Zhou that night and talked about the case of Zhu Hui and other lords, Li Rong also made it clear to Zhang Zhou.

In the study on Zhang Zhou's house.

Li Rong sat aside, watching Zhang Zhou writing and drawing, Li Rong was even embarrassed to go up to see what was written on Zhang Zhou's paper.

"Gonggong Li is worried that after Yang Yingning leaves Ningxia, the Tatars will make a comeback?" Zhang Zhou seemed to be unsure of what was going on, and asked a question that made Li Rong speechless.

Li Rong said embarrassedly: "Sir, aren't you worried that this newly rising capable minister will be separated from you?" After this, it should be someone who can be relied on when the grassland is flat, right? ”

You promoted it, what credit for Huamachi and Shigou City, you calculated it in advance and gave it to him for nothing.

Train people, and now say shake your hands?

Zhang Zhoudao: "They are both on an errand for the imperial court, what do they share with each other?" On the contrary, I think that the cabinet's proposal is reasonable, and if I were to choose a candidate to go to Liaodong Ping Jurchen, it would indeed be difficult to find a capable person outside of Xinjian Bo. ”

Li Rong smiled bitterly: "It's just a Jurchen, why are you so worried?" On the contrary, it is the North Koreans, who are prone to big tails. ”

Zhang Zhou shook his head and said: "Gonggong Li is wrong, the Jurchens seem to have few people, but they have always been a hidden danger of the Central Plains Dynasty. I had a plan, and I was going to let Tang Yin and An Bianhou lead the order to Liaodong, after all, they had the experience of going to levy. ”

"This ...... That's good. ”

Li Rong happily believed that Tang Yin was Zhang Zhou's descendant, and Tang Yin was in charge of shipbuilding before, and there was no room for him to give full play to his talents.

Zhang Zhoudao: "Now the cabinet proposes to let Yang Yingning go, plus An Bianhou, isn't it good?" ”

"This ......"

Li Rong didn't know what to say.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "When the two were in Ningxia, they had the experience of working together, and now that Yang Yingning has won the reputation of the army, let him go to Liaodong to lead the troops, and have An Bianhou, who is eager to prove that he is fighting for his family, how good is it?" ”

Li Rong said: "Sir, it's not that our family deliberately contradicts it, you see that these two people can help you a lot, and they are transferred to Liaodong...... Doesn't this weaken your own strength in Beijing? ”

"Gonggong Li can't say that, for the imperial court, you can't think about selfish interests, besides, I'm a person who has no quarrel with the world, and I don't seek any great development in the capital, and what strength is not in the scope of my thinking."

Zhang Zhou looked very free and easy.

Li Rong couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.

You are all the ministers of the country and the Ministry of War, and you are a powerful minister above 10,000 people under one person, and you are embarrassed to say that you don't want to seek great development?

"An Bianhou's side can also be adjusted slightly, I think it's not impossible to send a few more young people to practice." Zhang Zhoudao, "For example, when going to the Hetao, Zhang Lun, Zhou Yao, Zhou Ying, who performed well, and Jianchang Bo, who has always been eager to express themselves, ......"

"Jian Changbo? He ......"

Li Rong wants to say, this is also a character?

Zhang Zhou smiled: "Let him go to Liaodong, it's better than leaving him in the capital, okay?" ”

Li Rong was stunned, and said in his heart that this was really the case.

Zhang Yanling stayed in the capital to make trouble, and it was best to send him out all the time, so that the people in the capital could be at peace. (End of chapter)
