Chapter 542: His People Can't Move
Because Li Dongyang met his son and knew Zhang Zhou's prestige among ordinary scholars, he was depressed and a little unable to do things.
After the morning of the next day, Li Dongyang was about to leave the palace, but it may be that Xie Qian found some clues in him and went out of the palace with him.
"Yu Qiao, what's wrong with you?" Li Dongyang looked at the past.
It stands to reason that Xie Qian should go to the cabinet to be on duty, and should not be on the same road with him.
Xie Qian said, "Look, you are a little slack in the court today, isn't there something to hide? Sometimes it's hard to talk in the palace, but you can talk freely in private."
"Alas!"
Li Dongyang sighed.
To say that there are a lot of so-called acquaintances around him, but the only one who can get along with him day and night and understand his heart may be Xie Qian.
Even Liu Jian is a step above him because of his status, so he doesn't care so much about his joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
Only then did Li Dongyang tell him about Li Zhaoxian's entrance examination, but after he finished speaking, he saw Xie Qian on the side smiling.
"Uncle Zheng's condition is improving, what are you worried about? Guozixue came out, who is not convinced, he must take the exam, and he should support it." Xie Qian seems to be very respectful of Li Zhaoxian's taking the exam.
"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Li Dongyang said.
"Cut." Xie Qian waved his hand and said, "What's the matter, my heart is like Mingjing, just pretend to be confused. Do you think that there is a tribute student in your family, but there is no in my family? Alas!"
At this time, Li Dongyang knew that the person who was worried about Zhang Zhou presiding over the Shuntianfu Township Test was not only him, but also another father.
That's Xie Qian.
"Could it be that he ...... in the middle," Li Dongyang looked at Xie Qian.
"Hmm." Xie Qian nodded and said, "It's a shame to say, since he entered the Guozi School, somehow, he rarely saw his face, and he was also negligent in the supervision of his learning, and he was still a child, but he never thought that in a blink of an eye, he would also get married and set up a family, and even try to go to the court."
The son in Xie Qian's mouth is his second son Xie Pi.
Although Xie Pi is a native of Yuyao, Zhejiang, but with his father's shadow can study in the country, in history he should be the Shuntianfu Township Test in the 14th year of Hongzhi, and won the championship in one fell swoop for Xie Yuan, and ranked third in the palace test in the 18th year of Hongzhi, in order to explore the flowers into the court.
After all, Xie Qian is also a champion, and his son Xie Pi is also a genius, and more importantly, Xie Pi once worshiped Li Dongyang, which is equivalent to saying that he is half of Li Dongyang's closed disciple, so between these two colleagues, there is also a relationship between each other's sons.
Li Dongyang said: "Zhang Bingkuan revised the "Huidian" before, but he also has a bad reputation, but for some reason, it seems that he is also quite respected among the younger generation, Yu Qiao, do you know what's going on?"
"Psychics."
Xie Qian said, "I asked Yizhong and learned that both in the north and the south are now advocating a kind of Confucian learning called Xinxue, and the person who founded this scholarship is Zhang Bingkuan. I have read some of his books, which contain many absurd remarks, but they seem to be very popular with young scholars. However, there are also some old scholars who are finding fault with him, if it weren't for the fact that he has won the trust of His Majesty, and the current knighthood, I am afraid that he will definitely not be able to tolerate the discussion of the scholars."
"Hmm."
Li Dongyang was also a little worried.
The reason is clear, Zhang Zhouquan relied on the emperor's respect, as well as the title and status in the court, to obtain the convenience of the government and the opposition today.
Even in the direction of writing books, there is like divine help, because those who want to oppose Zhang Zhou are still very afraid of being liquidated by Zhang Zhou, so that those old scholars who have been facing all kinds of suppression of the new forces with a straight face are helpless against Zhang Zhou.
If this is a normal person...... has long been criticized for being incomplete, and it is estimated that it will not be able to mix in the Ming Dynasty.
Do you still have the ability to create and promote your own scholarship?
Li Dongyang said, "Then what can be done to prevent scholars from pursuing his scholarship at the root?"
Xie Qian looked over in surprise.
He understood Li Dongyang
The meaning is that since we know that there is such a thing, we can't continue to sit back and watch Zhang Zhou become bigger and stronger, so we must use the identity of a cabinet minister, or even a scholar in the world, to strangle Zhang Zhou's knowledge in the cradle.
"It's not easy." Xie Qian said, "If this had been changed two years ago, it might have been okay, who knew that Xinxue has been quietly spreading all over the country in the past two years, and Xinxue is also Confucianism, or it has its meaning of existence, rashly blocking the spread may also cause the hearts of scholars to fluctuate."
Although Xie Qian is also very resistant to Zhang Zhou's rise, in many things, Xie Qian also wants to be embarrassed.
If you want to rely on your own right to speak, suppress Zhang Zhou, and do it in the court, but now you have to extend the battlefield to the academic world?
Wouldn't it be said that the big bullied the small, or even relied on the old to sell the old?
Young people may not really eat them.
The ministers of the DPRK and China are controlled by them because they have promotion channels, and they are all old oilmen of officialdom, forcing them to stand on the side of the traditional civil servants.
But those young scholars can be said to be young and vigorous, and they are not very entangled with the interests of their cabinet, and they seem to be more freewheeling in many things, and are more inclined to obey the call of their hearts, rather than being driven by interests to oppose Zhang Zhou.
Li Dongyang asked, "Then do you think Cheng Keqin has ever stepped forward to contribute to this matter?"
Xie Qian saw Li Dongyang's persistence.
Li Dongyang had tolerated Zhang Zhou's rise to the greatest extent before, but seeing that Zhang Zhou was going to make a name for himself in the academic world, Li Dongyang may not be able to bear it anymore.
After all, in the government and the opposition, the "famous teacher" who has always been the most respected and praised before, or the teacher of the world's scholars, is not Liu Jian or Xie Qian, but Li Dongyang.
Many people can be proud to visit Li Dongyang.
Now Zhang Zhou is tantamount to snatching Li Dongyang's title.
Xie Qian shook his head: "I don't know."
"Then why is it that a young man can be so accomplished in learning? There were many irrationalities in the previous revision of the "Huidian", and with his age, it was absolutely impossible for him to repair the "Huidian" in just a few months, or someone was secretly helping, so Cheng Keqin should be one of them, right?"
Li Dongyang had a stubborn temper, as if he had to explore things clearly.
Xie Qian said: "Although Keqin has returned to the Hanlin Academy recently, his reputation has not been obvious, and he has almost forgotten about him. If you want to say that he secretly helped Zhang Bingkuan, it is also unfounded."
Li Dongyang said with a bit of a fierce face: "Then start with him, there should definitely be no Zhang Bingkuan's henchmen in the Hanlin Academy."
Xie Qian asked, "...... of Naji?"
This is asking, you are still targeting Cheng Minzheng, so do you want to deal with Wang Wei together?
"As a human teacher, how can Wang Jizhi also have a face, right? Didn't he know that his disciple's status in the court was higher than him, but he had no place to stand?"
Li Dongyang's meaning was to target Cheng Minzheng first and completely suppress Cheng Minzheng until he left the court.
As for Wang Wei, although we are also alienated from him now, he can still be rescued, because being Zhang Zhou's master is also very stressful, and when Zhang Zhouzhen is promoted in the Hanlin Academy system, Wang Wei himself has no face, and he will retreat by himself.
"Hmm." Xie Qian nodded, he seemed to understand where Li Dongyang's anger was now, and he also understood that he had to start with the people around Zhang Zhou first.
Let Zhang Zhou be alone.
This seems to be consistent with Xiao Jing's strategy of cutting Wang Shouren first.
Inside the Qianqing Palace.
Xiao Jing presented a few points of impeachment of Wang Shouren to Zhu Youji.
Several notes on impeachment are very purposeful and very cooperating, and they are obviously arranged by Xiao Jing behind the scenes, but how it works will not leave a handle, and in the impeachment of Wang Shouren, it also seems to be justified.
「…… Your Majesty, although Xinjian Bo has outstanding ability in governing the army, he is too prominent in bravery, sudden rise of the army, and even fighting alone, rather than fighting steadily step by step. In several notes,
There is also the local performance of Datong, especially mentioning the chaos of local taxation and treasury in Datong, many people take the opportunity to collect money, and these people are the descendants of Xinjian Bo...... Xinbo also indulged these people a little."
Xiao Jing would not have talked to the emperor like this in the past.
But now he is a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, and he will be forced to leave anyway, since he has to do something before leaving, he can't beat Zhang Zhou, and he can't suppress a fledgling Wang Shouren?
Even if you Wang Shouren are not afraid, you have to worry about your father who is a Hanlin official in the court, it is precisely because you Wang Shouren also has a "weakness" that it is often easier to start.
Zhu Youzhu said, "These people, at this time, actually questioned the new uncle? Do they think they're more capable?"
What the emperor is targeting is not Xiao Jing, but those who participated in the impeachment of Wang Shouren.
Or in the emperor's view, Xiao Jing is regarded as a narrator, rather than as the culprit behind the scenes.
is also because Zhu Youzhu has always trusted the people around him too much, even if he knows that there are many people around him, he can protect his shortcomings, and basically will not pursue it.
Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, it has been mentioned by the ministers of the DPRK and China that it is expedient to use the honorable and concurrently serving as the military official, but now that the land has been relatively stable, it seems that there is no need to build a new military affairs in the local governor, which can easily lead to a situation where there is no separation between civil and military, and between military and government. It's going to make it hard for those who are in charge below."
In the Ming Dynasty, there were two groups of people who transferred troops and commanded troops, one literary and one military.
Naturally, the transfer of troops has the power to plan everything and manage all aspects of military and political affairs, while Wuxun can just follow orders, and even when leading troops to fight, they are often headed by civil ministers.
But after Zhang Zhou's rise, the situation is very different from before.
Zhang Zhou's side...... The people below really don't have a move, and they can't target it if they want to.
Then you can only go under the knife from Wang Shouren, who is in a similar situation to Zhang Zhou.
Zhu Youzhu was silent for a while.
It's not that Zhu Youzhi doesn't trust Wang Shouren enough, but he also knows the rules of the court, being both a player and a referee, there will inevitably be chaos, Zhu Youzhu has enough respect and trust in Zhang Zhou, and he didn't let Zhang Zhou go to the northwest to unify the troops and transfer troops.
"Your Majesty, there are also ministers who have proposed that they can let Xinjian Bo return to the dynasty and serve in the Governor's Mansion, and there are Beijing camps in the Beijing division that need to be trained, and the Yanwutang also needs to be taught, and after the generals from all over the world arrive in Beijing, they also need to have capable people to cultivate."
Xiao Jing said, "Thinking of a slave, a person with the ability can fulfill his duty no matter what errand he is on, and he will not live up to Your Majesty's trust."
"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu nodded this time.
When the emperor looks at this matter, he will not feel that transferring the generals away from the frontier is a loss of trust in them.
Otherwise, he would have sent Zhang Zhou to the northwest long ago, instead of staying in the capital.
Those who remain at the feet of the Son of Heaven are often more capable.
With such an idea, the emperor will naturally feel that it is not a big deal to transfer Wang Shouren back to the capital, anyway, now is not the time to step on the grassland, and it will take several years of preparation, so Wang Shouren will come back first to train more generals...... It couldn't have been better.
Xiao Jing saw that there was a drama in this matter, so he climbed up the pole and said, "Your Majesty, Ma Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials has been recommending Liu Daxia, the governor of Xuanfu, saying that this person has the ability to strategize, and since the beginning of this year, the treasury and taxation of Xuanfu have been much better than in previous years. It seems fitting that he should be in charge of the affairs of Xuanda."
When Xiao Jing said this, he seemed to be waiting for the emperor's approval.
Then his plan will come true.
But he didn't expect Zhu Youzhu to suddenly look at the past and ask, "Why are you in such a hurry to transfer Xinjian from the northwest?"
"Huh?" When Xiao Jing heard this, he suddenly felt as if he was being enforced by the emperor, so he quickly knelt down and said, "The slave and maid have no such intention, the slave and maid just want to make a request, but they all convey the opinions of the courtiers and officials, and they have no intention of making claims selflessly."
"Really?"
Zhu Youji's expression was very stern, but he was not too annoyed, okay
I didn't plan to do anything to Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing could only think that this was the emperor's test of his attitude.
Xiao Jing said, "Your Majesty, if you are unsure about this matter, you can consult Cai Guogong first."
"I don't have to ask Bingkuan about everything, do you think I don't have any ideas at all?"
Zhu Youji's tone was still fierce, "Besides, let me ask Bingkuan, how to call the new uncle, what can Bingkuan say?" He personally recommended Xinjian Bo, and watched Xinjian Bo's status to this day step by step, whether it was to protect or degrade, it would provoke the gossip of others. They may say that he is jealous of the virtuous, or that he is shielding his cronies...... I can even think of the faces of those who participated in this impeachment!"
Xiao Jing's heart was galloping.
He was thinking, Your Majesty, you know the routines of those ministers very well.
When ministers do things, they always turn over and over to take advantage of the reason.
Confucianism is most important in sophistry.
"Xinjian Bo can return to Beijing, but not now." Zhu Youzhu finally made a decision on this matter, "Not this year, not next year! I can't let Bingkuan set foot in the territory, even if it is just to let Xinjian Bo be a god who deters cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, he should stay in the northwest. Otherwise, how would the Tatars know where the prestige of the Ming is? As for the matter of finance and taxation, there is no need to get the premise of the face one by one!"
Xiao Jing was a little discouraged in his heart.
Obviously, he had already taken into account the emperor's thoughts, and also thought about all aspects of the matter, and felt very sure, so he brought it up in front of the emperor.
Who knows that even if Zhang Zhouren is not in Beijing, he can still protect Wang Shouren from the air.
This made Xiao Jing extremely powerless.
It seems that he also understands that even if he wants to retreat, he has no chance to shake the status of the group of people around Zhang Zhou in the court, and this has nothing to do with whether Zhang Zhou is guaranteed or not.
It's about ......
The emperor recognized this group of people, unless Zhang Zhou said that it had to be replaced, otherwise others would not even have a chance to intervene.
