Eight hundred and seventieth chapters outside the chessboard
Although there are many heroes in Suiyuan, although Xu Wei is extremely smart, Sun Feng's family has a root of knowledge, and even time travelers like Qian Yuan, they did not guess Xu Jie's true intention of suddenly throwing out the shipping of sea transportation.
If sea transportation is used to replace canal transportation, if it is not good, it will cause chaos in the north and south, and may even cause chaos in the people and shake the country's foundation. Qian Yuan can see that, but how can Xu Jie not see it?
When Xu Jie got up and washed up, the sky was still not bright. Under the guidance of the dim lantern, he went to the study first. This was a habit he began after Yan Song took charge of the government alone.
Xu Jie originally thought that he would one day abandon this habit, but he did not expect that Yan Shifan died for a year and a half and Yan Song died for more than half a year, but he still maintained this habit.
Sitting quietly on the chair, Xu Jie was planning today's Nangong incident, but he didn't care about it. No matter from any perspective, Hu Zongxian's resignation was inevitable, and he might even be imprisoned and punished. For this reason, several disciples also used some tricks in private.
The key is in Zhejiang... In Xu Jie's plan, on the one hand, another port was set up in Songjiang Prefecture to conduct trade, and the transferred deputy general of Wusong, Lu Bin, could be used, and on the other hand, he had to hold the three prefectures of Ning Shaotai in his hands... Of course, in name, it was in the hands of the cabinet.
The key to Zhejiang is the coastal trading port. Xu Jie knew that Hou Ruliang was very unhappy after taking office as the governor of Zhejiang. He was threatened several times by his grandson-in-law. Now he was restricted. The Zhejiang General Dong Yikui transferred to the scene was not moving yet.
In the Zhejiang officialdom, there are only three governors, inspectors, generals, and generals, and they are all nominally Xu Jie's people.
Xu Jie's withered face moved. Governor Hou Ruliang and general Dong Yikui were fine, while Zhejiang Inspector Pang Shangpeng... He remembered very clearly that this person was recommended by his favorite student half a year ago, Zhang Juzheng, the son-in-law of Dongshui.
Should I take this person down?
Xu Jie thought in his mind that there were candidates for backup, but Li Mo must have opposed it... If this plan could be successful, he could give it a try.
As the sky was getting dark, Xu Jie was about to go out, and his mind turned to today's Hu Zongxian... He clinged to Yan Song, embezzled military pay, bribed Donglou with generous bribes, and was greedy for military power. He wanted to see what your end would end!
Of course, there is another reason why Xu Jie couldn't say it... If it weren't for your Hu Zongxian and you, you might not be able to tolerate you.
Xu Jie also knew that his mentality was a bit unbalanced. As long as he heard... as long as he thought of that person, an irresistible resentment emerged deep in his heart.
Xu Jie still remembered that there was one night more than a year ago, and it was faintly visible in his dream that he forced Yan Song to retreat, purge the Yan Party, and welcomed many wise ministers back, with an unparalleled reputation... He remembered very clearly that that night was the night before the rumors in Beijing that Qian Yuan set off for the trip back to Beijing.
Since then, one emergency after another. Except for Yan Shifan being accidentally robbed and killed, there is a shadow of Qian Yuan behind almost everything... How could Xu Jie not hate him?
After getting out of the door, he got into the sedan chair and went straight to Xiyuan. He had just arrived and had not even entered the door. Before Xu Jie could even get out of the sedan chair, his most trusted disciple Hu Yingjia rushed here.
"Shi Xiang." Hu Yingjia was sweating profusely and stood by the sedan chair panting, "Shi Xiang, someone posted a post last night."
"Submit a post?" Xu Jie got out of the sedan chair, took the two pieces of paper handed over by his disciple and looked at it carefully, and his face immediately became gloomy.
"Master, the student has asked Feng Mansion and Zhang Mansion, and asked a few questions in the same year... The West City is almost everywhere." Hu Yingjia maintained a panting posture, "I'm afraid..."
"It must be a means of the Suiyuan." Xu Jie sneered.
The reason is very simple, because the Xu Mansion has not received any posts.
There is no need to think about it. Suiyuan may not be the only one who wants to protect Hu Zongxian, but the Xu Mansion is missed everywhere on the post... Only Li Mo and Suiyuan are possible. Li Mo's temperament cannot do such a thing. Such a deviant method is in line with Qian Zhancai's temperament.
Xu Jie even knew that Suiyuan was not afraid of being guessed by others.
"Master, will Nangong discuss matters change today?" Hu Yingjia asked carefully.
Xu Jie thought for a long time before saying, "No need to change."
Hu Yingjia bowed and responded to it, and quickly retreated.
"This is a demon book!" Xu Jie gritted his teeth secretly, but he looked at Hu Yingjia's back with a few hints of relief. The road is far away and the horsepower is seen as people's hearts over time!
...
Today's capital city is a bit strange, especially when the ministers gather in Nangong, the atmosphere is even more depressing.
No one greeted each other, but there was a look in the eye contact... I've seen it? Oh, I've also seen the exchange.
Qian Yuan never thought of waiveing Hu Zongxian's crimes, and would only consider letting Hu Zongxian live... From this point of view, he has not completely transformed into a politician. In fact, Hu Zongxian's death is a good thing for him to Suiyuan.
Therefore, when Emperor Longqing ordered Nangong to discuss matters, Qian Yuan had no intention of defending the ministers from the beginning, and he used his kung fu outside the chessboard.
The censor Kedao impeached Hu Zongxian and kept saying he was imprisoned and judged his crime. If he wanted to break the deadlock, he had to work hard on public opinion. Xu Wei's demon book was the killer weapon.
This is a unique political system or a means of political struggle in the Ming Dynasty. It first creates public opinion, forms a trend, and then oppresses it with the general trend... Even Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, and Wang Xijue complained endlessly in the original time and space.
It is rare to leave Xiyuan. Emperor Longqing arrived very early. He didn't care about today's discussions. In the end, it was acceptable for any party to dismiss Hu Zongxian, and Hu Zongxian's life and death were just his golden mouth.
However, this was the first time that Emperor Longqing had summoned his ministers on such a scale after he ascended the throne. He hoped to see something different from the previous lifelessness of the past forty years.
Emperor Longqing also hoped to see with his own eyes what kind of performance the higher the reputation of Suiyuan can perform in the political struggle between the court, which is related to the key to checking and balancing the court in the future.
"All of them are here?"
"The emperor, the ministers, the chief clerk, the six departments, the Hanlin, the Imperial College... the Zhanshi Mansion has all arrived. The six ministers and the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue have not arrived."
"Mr. Li'an is highly respected, and the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue are complicated." Emperor Longqing nodded and said, "Wait a little longer."
Chen Hong smiled and said, compared to the previous one, this Majesty is really magnanimous and modest... If it were Emperor Jiajing, he would not say anything about punishment, and just being sarcastic and mean.
Fang Dun had already arrived at the gate of Nangong, beside him was Huang Maoguan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Zhao Zhenji, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, had already gone in... After all, this person had almost no sense of existence in the Ministry of Revenue.
Seeing Fang Dun's pace keeps stopping, Huang Maoguan coughs twice, "Li'an Gong..."
"Hmm?" Fang Du looked at the two pieces of paper handed over by his subordinate in surprise.
"Someone posted last night...the mansions of more than a hundred officials in Xicheng..."
Huang Maoguan's expression remained unchanged. Today is the first time that His Majesty has officially summoned all ministers to discuss matters on a large scale since he ascended the throne. It is also the first time Suiyuan has made an appearance on a formal occasion.
There are actually many officials who are dependent on the accompanying garden, but due to Qian Yuan’s age limitations, most of the officials gathered together are not old and have low official positions.
Among them, except for the unlikely Grand Secretary of Dongge, who can stand up officially, only Pan Sheng, the Minister of Works, and Huang Maoguan, the Minister of Revenue.
