Chapter 330 How can there be a difference between inside and outside
Good news!
Comrade Zhao Shiji succeeded as the 17th leader of the book with his ability to make a fortune and billion. Eunuch Wei was ecstatic and ordered the 24th Supervisor to express his gratitude to commend him. He sincerely hoped that more Zhao Shiji would emerge so that his father-in-law could bid farewell to his thrifty and simple life, and also changed his belt that had been tied for more than ten years.
...........
When the cabinet was in charge, Fang Congzhe did not have a headache because the emperor agreed to the Eastern Palace to ask about politics. He was worried about another matter.
Fang Yiting promoted the cabinet ministers, after all, he was old, and it would definitely not be possible to maintain such a big empire with his or her cabinet minister alone.
Especially in the recent rebellion of Jiannu in Liaodong, which not only caused the Liao Dynasty to be corrupt, but also caused the court to be in chaos. In addition, because of the matter of his eldest son, Fang Congzhe was despised by the outside world, so he was already a little helpless in dealing with the national affairs.
He needs help.
His disciple, leader of the Qi Party, the admiral of the Hanlin Academy, and the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple, Qi Shijiao proposed two candidates to his teacher, one was Shi Jihe, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and the other was Chen Que, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing.
Both of them are from the Zhejiang Party, and Chen Que is still Fang Congzhe's fellow countrymen.
If these two people join the cabinet to manage government affairs, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the influence of the Zhejiang Party in the court, and the two people have excellent governance capabilities within the party, which should help Fang Congzhe stabilize the dynasty.
The emperor agreed to Fang's request, but the emperor wanted Liu Yiren, the Minister of Rites, and He Zongyan, who was acting in the Ministry of Rites, to enter the cabinet.
These two are Donglin Party.
Although he, the chief minister, has been showing goodwill to Donglin recently and is determined to resolve the grudges between Donglin and the Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, Chu Party, and Kun Party, Fang Congzhe still cannot introduce the two Donglin Party members into the cabinet.
This is not a question of whether to show good or not, but a fundamental problem.
After all, the emperor is seriously ill and the East Palace will ascend the throne at any time. Although the old and new emperors will not dismiss the important officials when they are handed over, it will cause turmoil in the government, but the introduction of two cabinet ministers from the Donglin Party still makes Fang Congzhe feel extremely pressured.
What is annoying is that somehow the Donglin Party heard that the other chief minister Yi Ting recommended Chen Que and Shi Jike, and spread rumors that these two people were not upright and could not be ministers.
In the final analysis, it is actually Shi. Chen and the others are a bit ruthless in attacking the Donglin Party.
In the 1911th, the two capitals launched the impeachment of Li Sancai at the same time. At that time, Shi Jike was responsible for the Nancha (the Beijing Chair of Liudu). All the officials of Liudu who supported Li Sancai to enter the cabinet were almost demoted by Shi, which undoubtedly offended the entire Donglin Party.
"Teacher, Your Majesty really plans to add Liu Yiyin and He Zongyan to the cabinet?"
Qi Shijiao was a cabinet minister who had just arrived. Because of the matter of political affairs in the Eastern Palace, he, the leader of the Party, looked a little haggard.
In recent years, Qi Shi Cultivation can be said to be a think tank military advisor of the alliance of various parties. Whether it was the joint recall of Li Chengliang, the impeachment of Li Sancai, and the Dajing Chase in recent years, Qi Shi Cultivation has made great efforts, which is even more conspicuous than the official Yingzhen of the Chu Party, which makes him a thorn in the eyes of the Donglin Party members, and he will never be able to get ahead.
If the East Palace ascends the throne and Donglin gains power, it means that his career as the leader of the Party will end here.
In this way, how could Qi Shishui be willing to do so?
Fang Congzhe didn't know what the student was thinking. He shook his head and said, "Since His Majesty agreed to add a cabinet member, I reported it to the history. He and the other two heard that His Majesty had no objection, but just asked the eunuch Sun Xian, the eunuch of the Sili, saying that I had proposed Liu Yiyan and He Zongyan, why is there no such thing?"
"So, Your Majesty is also dissatisfied with our Zhejiang Party?" Qi Shijiao really didn't understand why the emperor was also suspicious of their Zhejiang Party.
"Your Majesty's intentions, you and I know it, but it's meaningless to tell it." Fang Congzhe moved his beard, "Your Majesty is seriously ill, so this arrangement is probably for the East Palace."
Qi Shijiao snorted slightly: "Dadong, Xiaodong, none of them are indispensable." He paused, "What is the teacher going to do?"
"If Your Majesty wants to belong to Liu, what can I do..."
Fang Congzhe sighed softly, "Speaking of this, I am not worried about Liu and He. What I am worried about is Fuqing's husband."
"The husband of Fuqing has returned home, and his mentor is worried about what he will do?" Qi Shizhi was puzzled.
Fang Congzhe said lightly: "I heard that someone from the Silijian mentioned Ye Xianggao before His Majesty."
Qi Shijiao understood and sneered: "The people from Silijian are not optimistic about us now. If you know that the East Palace is going to gain power, you will add icing on the cake."
Then there was a little unfairness, "It's not his Donglin Party that was protecting him. Haven't we ever competed for the foundation of the country for the East Palace over the years?"
This is also a fact. In fighting for the foundation of the country, whether it is Donglin, Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Xuankun, they basically have a unified position and a unified attitude.
But in the end, the Donglin Party family ate the fruits. Not only did the other families not eat the fruits, but they were likely to be rolled and left. This cannot be blamed on Qi Shijiao for complaining.
"Mr., if Ye Xianggao Qi returns to the cabinet, this cabinet will be lively."
"Yes, my current prime minister was all directed by the Prime Minister of Fuqing as the cabinet minister. If he comes back, will the cabinet listen to him or me then?"
Fang Congzhe smiled bitterly. If Ye Xianggao, Liu and He were chosen, he would rather choose Liu than Ye Xianggao come back.
At least, Liu and He could still press on him, but Ye Xianggao couldn't hold him back at all.
"Teacher, prepare for the future and cannot let Ye Xianggao enter the cabinet. Even Liu Yiyan and He Zongyan cannot enter the cabinet, otherwise the court would really become the Great East." Qi Shijiao said anxiously.
"I can't stop this matter. Besides, what kind of way should I stop it?" Fang Congzhe shook his head.
Qi Shijiao had an idea, and he said, "Only for the current plan, my teacher might as well drag it down."
"you mean?"
"Your Majesty is seriously ill now, and you may not remember the matter of replacing the cabinet ministers. Even if Your Majesty is still thinking about this, this matter will not be handled immediately. As long as your mentor is dragging it down, even if Your Majesty really has that day... the Eastern Palace is coming, there is still only one mentor in this cabinet."
Qi Shi taught her a simple method, just to delay everything, and everything needs to be processed. The program needs to be started by Fang Congzhe, the current chief assistant, to handle it. As long as Fang Congzhe does not do it, things will be delayed indefinitely.
"Without the chief minister as the chief minister, the East Palace ascends the throne, it is necessary to say that his Donglin Party can be close to the East Palace, and he cannot do anything beyond his mentor."
Fang Congzhe thought that this was also a way. He was about to speak, and the Secretariat on duty rushed in and said, "Gei Master, the Ministry of War is urgently handed over, Liaodongtang report!"
Fang Congzhe was shocked: "But something happened to Liu Jing?"
"Gei, it's a good news!"
Zhongshu excitedly handed the pond newspaper in his hand.
"Oh? Get it!"
Fang Congzhe took the Tang newspaper and opened it, but it was Yang Hao, the Liaodong governor, who urgently submitted it to Beijing from Shenyang.
The Tang newspaper said that the emperor's personal army and Liu Zhen's troops jointly established slaves in Abudaligang. Now that the Ming army of various ministries has worked together to siege Jiannu to death, the Jianzhou rebellion is about to be settled.
At the end of the Tang newspaper, Yang Hao used the eight characters to base it, which is called "the great victory in Liaodong, the Wanli sweep the acupoints."
"Okay, OK!"
Fang Congzhe's excited hands were trembling. When he knew Du Song and Ma Lin had been defeated, he sat for a long time.
As the chief minister, if Liaodong was deteriorating from the hands of the other side, he would be ashamed of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world.
Qi Shijiao took the Tangbao from his mentor and looked at it carefully. After closing it, he was happy, but he couldn't help asking his mentor Yang Hao what the meaning of "The Insider Wei made great efforts in this battle".
Qi Shijiao knew a little about the emperor's personal army and the inner minister Wei, but only knew that Wei was under the Imperial Horse Supervision, called the emperor's personal army, and hosted maritime affairs in Jiangnan. Not only did he offend the great gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan, but he also had a great conflict with the nobles in Nandu. If the emperor had not believed it and the protection of Concubine Zheng, Wei would have had an accident long ago.
When he worked together to deal with Li Sancai, Qi Shijiao vaguely heard that the Chu party had some relationship with Wei, but he didn't know what the specific relationship was.
He only knew that Wei was under the name of Jin Zhong. At that time, the one who ran around the various parties to call for "unity against the outside world" was Li Yongzhen, who was the head of the Dongchang department at the time. So until today, Qi Shijiao did not know that Wei was the one who promoted the major alliance of the parties.
Fang Congzhe did not explain in detail about the emperor's personal army to his disciples. He just briefly said that when Siming Gong was alive, he intended to do a large maritime business. Many people on the Zhejiang Party made great profits through maritime business.
For example, the Maritime Yamen and Zhejiang and Fujian provinces "partnered" across the sea and occupied the Eastern Federation with the imperial court, and conquered Ryukyu to discuss Japan, he did not mention it with Qi Shijiao.
Now that Qi Shi taught me, Fang Congzhe mentioned a few simple words.
"Search Day?"
Qi Shizhi was so shocked that he couldn't stop hearing this because he had never heard of it before.
"This is the internal affairs of Your Majesty, and I never asked about it before when the Prince of Fuqing was there." Fang Congzhe said.
It is impossible to ask, let alone make it known to everyone in the world, because this battle against the country was presided over by a eunuch, which was really unrestrained to the court's face.
Moreover, from the beginning to the end, the court did not give any support to the Japanese. It was entirely because of the private recruitment of troops by Wei, Zhejiang and Fujian officials.
Fang Congzhe was actually confused about the specific situation of the expedition of Japan. He only heard some mentions from two or three months ago that the disciple of Siming Prime Minister Yao Zongwen mentioned something, saying that Wei Liangchen led his army to cross the sea to fight with the Japanese shogunate and rescued their emperor. However, due to limited military strength, the Ming army only occupied part of Japan's land, and the rest were ruled by Japanese powerful vassals.
So far, the imperial court has not gained any benefit from this "Strike" and coupled with the unanimous silence of the parties involved, he does not want to publicize this matter, even fewer people in the capital know about it.
In essence, this so-called battle against Japan is illegal and invading, so it cannot be widely publicized.
"I don't know how my uncle Wei led his troops to Pingnu from Liaodong. I don't know much about it. Your Majesty's arbitrary decision on the affairs of the inner ministers and his personal army, and the cabinet ministers cannot."
This sentence was helpless. Yes, he, as the chief assistant, could not interfere with such a big matter, either. Isn’t it very frustrating?
There is a difference between inside and outside, but in military and national affairs, how can there be a difference between inside and outside?
If Fang Congzhe had known that the fifth army had joined the war earlier, he would not have been worried about the situation day and night, and he would have lost his hair because of the defeat in the Liao Dynasty.
"I will have my own explanation for the matter of the personal army in the future. No matter what, it is enough to win, and it is enough to win!"
Fang Congzhe said as he took the Tang newspaper back to the turn.
Qi Shijiao asked, "Where are the mentors going?"
"I will go to report good news to Your Majesty if you win in Liaodong, and I will go and report good news to Your Majesty!" Fang Congzhe smiled "hehe" and the Liaodong victory made him sweep his depression for several days. He was really comfortable.
Qi Shijiao hesitated for a moment and then said, "Your teacher can talk about Yang Hao, Liu Jing, but you must not talk about Wei."
"Why?" Fang Congzhe was stunned.
Qi Shijiao reminded: "My teacher, don't forget, Wei is from the Zheng family."
Fang Congzhe's expression became solemn after hearing this. Concubine Zheng was driven out of the Ganqing Palace by the Empress. If she wanted to tell her that Wei had held heavy troops outside the pass and wiped out Jiannu, she might be arrogant immediately.
It is not good for the country.
