Eight hundred and thirty second chapter hang a tiger card
In other words, the joint crackdown on the Donglin Party was the biggest controversy for Eunuch Wei to worship Chen Yiguan.
Nothing can be more at ease than attacking the Donglin Party, and is more pleased by the Siming Guardian.
This person hated the Donglin Party much more than Wei Liangchen, otherwise he would not have to take the blame before retreating.
In the fight against the Donglin Party, Eunuch Wei did a lot. In the past, he joined forces with the Chu Party to deal with the Donglin Party's arm to assist Li Chengliang outside the pass, and later, he stopped Li Sancai from entering the cabinet.
Liangchen intends to keep a low profile in these two matters, and not many people know about them. However, the burning of Wuxi Donglin Academy and abducting hundreds of Donglin teachers and students is the best proof of his attitude towards the Donglin Party.
He dared to take risks and secretly come to Ningbo to pay homage to Chen Yiguan, and what he relied on was his attitude towards the Donglin Party.
Chen Yiguan stared at Wei Liangchen for several eyes and suddenly smiled: "Why did Caopu harm you, the nameless person?"
This question is really sharp.
In the eyes of the Siming Gong, Li Sancai was much stronger than Wei Liangchen, the admiral of the maritime minister. One of them was an elephant and the other was an ant.
A dignified elephant, will you go and cause trouble for an ant without any trouble?
I'm afraid I can't even see it.
The subtext is that you, Wei Liangchen, are nothing and are not worthy of being Li Sancai's opponent. The only one who can be against someone like Li Sancai is his Siming Gong.
Wei Liangchen knew that what Chen Yiguan said was the fact. In terms of grade alone, he was only a seventh rank, and he was still an internal minister, so he could not be compared with the important officials of the court.
However, using small to control the big is the basic national policy of this dynasty.
He chuckled and said, "I'll let my husband know that the reason why the Cao Guard harmed me in Wuxi is because of the imperial tombs and trees."
"Imperial Mausoleum?"
Chen Yiguan's eyes moved and looked surprised: "What does this matter have to do with you?"
"My husband doesn't know that the matter of the imperial tomb and wood was exposed by the younger generation. It was reported by Tian Ergeng, Nanzhen of Jinyiwei, to Your Majesty, and then Li Sancai was demoted."
Wei Liangchen told the inside story very casually, then opened the cover of the tea bowl in front of him and gently brushed it.
This is the time for Siming Xianggong to absorb and digest.
Chen Yiguan was really moved this time. He never expected that Li Sancai's stealing of the imperial tomb trees was exposed by the little eunuch in front of him.
This is really unacceptable. It must be noted that during his tenure as the chief minister, he wanted to deal with Li Sancai several times, but either suffered from the inability to find a handle on the other party, or was subject to the rebound of Kedao, and had many concerns and was unable to succeed.
A little eunuch today said that he had brought Li Sancai down, which made Siming Gong unbelievable.
After thinking for a moment, he asked directly: "Who is instructing me?"
It is normal for Chen Yiguan to have this suspicion. If there were no instructions from the palace, Wei Liangchen, a low-ranking eunuch, wouldn't he dare to do this big thing?
But that's the truth.
"No one instructed."
Wei Liangchen shook his head, "It depends entirely on conscience. Minister Hu Wei, how can he ignore it?"
Chen Yiguan was stunned, and his deep eyes seemed to go from Wei Liangchen's eyes to the depths of his heart. For a moment, he laughed, his expression was much more heartwarming than before, and praised him, "Good sentences, Minister Hu Wei, how can he ignore it!... It's a hero, I never thought that Caopu was defeated by you, the younger generation, it was interesting and interesting."
"People in the world call him Caopu, but in the eyes of the younger generation, they are just a villain!" Wei Liangchen said hatefully, concealing his disgust for Li Sancai at all.
Speaking of this, he did not need to hide his hostility towards Li Sancai and even to the Donglin Party.
Because this is what Chen Yiguan is good at.
"Li Sancai is indeed a villain."
Chen Yiguan nodded and called Li Sancai the name, and his love for the little eunuch in front of him was beyond words.
"So, Li Sancai framed you in Wuxi?" Chen Yiguan asked again.
“That’s right.”
Wei Liangchen's heart was not beating or blushing, and he said slowly: "I went to Wuxi and visited Donglin Gu Xiancheng sincerely, but did not expect Mr. Donglin to travel the west. When Li San saw that his younger generation arrived, he incited the scholars and the people to deliberately besiege him, trying to re-enact the incident in Suzhou. The root of the matter is nothing more than revenge on the younger generation. If he had not been decisive, he might have died of a life of evil."
"You are not dead, but you burned Donglin Academy with a torch. I'm afraid that Gu Xiancheng would know that he must be so angry that he vomited blood." Chen Yiguan's words were full of gloating, and he was not at all cunning. It can be seen how much this Siming Guardian hated the Donglin Party members.
"I am so sorry to your Majesty." The good minister was a little ashamed and said a little sad.
"This matter is not your fault. In fact, Li Sancai is aggressive. He is a civilian, but he still dares to fan the flames and is indifferent to the king's laws. It is simply a shame for the ministers."
Chen Yiguan snorted slightly.
He believed that what the little eunuch in front of him said was true because he knew Li Sancai and the Donglin Party very well. As long as Li Sancai did not die for a day, he could lead Donglin to stir up trouble even if he was in prison.
"I don't want to get too involved with the Donglin Party members, so I'm determined to handle the emperor's mission. I don't want them to be unyielding. I'm also powerless about this."
"I can't get involved in the matters in Jiangnan."
Chen Yiguan’s implication is that Jiangnan is the old nest of Donglin, so he, the former chief assistant, cannot control where he goes.
Wei Liangchen nodded slightly: "I only regret that my younger generations are internal ministers and cannot form a party. Otherwise, they will definitely form a gentleman party to compete with the treacherous party in the Donglin, which is determined by the court."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yiguan couldn't help but be curious: "The Book of Documents says that there is no bias and no party, and Confucius says that there is no party, and the party is a tool for villains to harm the country and destroy the country. Why do you still have to think about the party?"
This question is also very sharp. Wei Liangchen calmly replied: "This is exactly where I want to ask my husband!"
Chen Yiguan was stunned and looked at Wei Liangchen with confusion on his face, wondering where he said this?
"Don't my husband regard himself as the leader of the Zhejiang Party? ... Confucius once said 'my party boy', so according to the younger generation, not all party members have bad intentions. If the clique is harmless to the country, it can be wiped out. My husband's Zhejiang Party is supposed to benefit the country, not mislead the country. Therefore, a gentleman does not form a party, but a villain will form a party. With the strength of the party, a gentleman will suffer a loss. This is the principle that two fists cannot match the four legs."
Wei Liangchen said something very well. It was hard for him to let Ruan Dacheng read the sentences about forming a clique to him before coming, and then contact them to express it in front of this Siming Gong.
These words are very consistent with Chen Yisheng's intention. Even if this Siming Gong was forming a clique for personal gain, Chen Yisheng would never admit that he was a treacherous party, and he always believed that he founded the Zhejiang Party for the sake of the country and the country.
As Wei Liangchen said, if all gentlemen do not form cliques, then the villains can defeat them one by one if they unite against the gentlemen. At that time, wouldn’t the villains be allowed to control the court?
I was happy, and the words were speculative, and the other party was rarely on the same side as me. The Siming Gong was really happy the more I looked at it, and it was rare that Wei Liangchen had to drink tea.
Liangchen hurriedly picked up the tea bowl and drank it. After putting it down, Chen Yiguan said to him: "You understand what you say, but how did I hear your reputation for greed in Jiangnan, and now I hear it in Zhejiang?... This is not what a gentleman does, but it seems like a thing done by a villain."
The Siming Gong is silent and bringing the topic to what has happened recently. Needless to say, you, Wei Liangchen, came to our door and offered my silver. I am afraid that it is not to tell the old prime minister that you and the Donglin Party will not deal with each other.
The good minister sighed slightly and said, "Everyone in the world says that my younger generation is greedy, but I don't know that my younger generation is carrying a heavy burden. If the emperor does nothing, I am afraid that I will only become an ordinary member of the palace."
The good minister was the truth Yu Chen always said, to put it bluntly, if he didn't make money, the emperor would not let him live a good life. If he wanted to make money, his reputation would be bad.
You cannot get both fish and bear's paws.
The matter of the mining supervision and tax commissioner was the most troublesome thing during Chen Yiguan's tenure. He also tried his best to reconcile the conflicts between the mining supervision and tax commissioner and the local area. How could he not know the internal relationship? He was also happy to see the little eunuch telling the truth.
He said, "Your Majesty has entrusted you to supervise the maritime affairs, so you can do it. However, this maritime affairs are not worthy of profits. If you want a snake to swallow an elephant, you will be unable to do it and you will be in trouble."
The implication is to remind Wei Liangchen to be sensible in his work and make money, but he will make trouble for money and even kill others, causing resentment from the local people, and the outcome will not be much better.
"My husband said so much. I dare not expect too much, and I have no idea. However, some people forced me to use thunderous methods." Wei Liangchen looked heartbroken.
"How do you say this?" Chen Yiguan didn't know what Zhong Zuo was really doing, so he was puzzled.
"My husband doesn't know that I have created a maritime special zone in Wusong, and I've been wholeheartedly engaged in maritime affairs in this special zone. How could I ever think of it..." Wei Liangchen angrily told the incident of the attack on military and civilians of the Dinghaiwei Zhongzuo who pretended to be Japanese pirates.
It was very detailed, and the military and civilian deaths were all told.
"I don't know this is the case!" Chen Yiguan was also frightened and angry. The officers and soldiers of the Zhongzuo Institute pretended to be Japanese pirates to attack the soldiers and civilians of Wusong, which was simply arbitrary and lawless.
The good minister said angrily: "If you don't avenge the soldiers and civilians, how can you convince the public? If you don't use the thunder method, how can you gain a foothold in this southeast?"
"I never thought these people would be so bold." Chen Yiguan's shock was not calmed down.
"The younger generation knows one truth. If a merchant has 10% profit, he can buy and sell; if he has 20% profit, he will expand the business; if he has 50% profit, he dares to take risks; if he has 100 times profit, then the law is useless to them. If he has more than three times profit, killing and setting fire is a pediatric."
Considering that Chen Yiguan's relationship with the Zhejiang Party and maritime businessmen was complex, Wei Liangchen did not name Fujian and Zhejiang maritime businessmen as the murderer behind the scenes, but through the "profit theory", he pointed out the real murderer, and told Chen Yiguan that he, a young junior, didn't know anything.
Chen Yiguan was silent after hearing this, and said, "Enjoy everyone yearns for this nature." He looked at Wei Liangchen and praised, "I don't want you to have such profound insights on this benefit, which is something I admire."
Wei Liangchen hurriedly bowed and said, "Young Master is making fun of me. I am just feeling the same way. The so-called bustling and bustling is not for profit."
"It's rare that you know so well. After that, are you here to find me? Do you want me to solve the Dinghai matter for you, or do you want me to do something else for you?"
Chen Yiguan pointed to the pile of silver notes in the box, "I am not rewarded without merit."
Liang Chen was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and bowed, saying sincerely: "I am here not to disturb my husband for the matter of Dinghaiwei, but to ask my husband to come forward to preside over the maritime affairs."
"I came forward to preside over the maritime affairs?" This request surprised Chen Yiguan.
The good minister hurriedly said: "Today's maritime benefits are only one-tenth of our dynasty, and the remaining 90% are owned by the pirates and Western countries. Therefore, the younger generation wanted to reform the maritime affairs and integrate various coastal governments, civil and commercial forces in order to regain the 90% of the profits that are available to outsiders."
Immediately afterwards, the "cake-sharing" theory that Liangchen had long been familiar with, Yu Chen, said.
Chen Yiguan couldn't help but nod.
"Our maritime power is the strongest, but now it cannot be involved in maritime benefits. Only a few merchants can obtain it, which is not exempt from excessive losses from the country. Therefore, if we can integrate the forces of each company, with the consent of His Majesty, this maritime benefit will roll into China within three to five years."
After Liangchen finished speaking, he pointed out that if this plan could be implemented, the interests of his Maritime Special Zone and Fujian-Zhejiang maritime merchants would not conflict. On the contrary, Fujian-Zhejiang maritime merchants could also double their profits, which is a win-win situation for both sides.
How can a person who can be the chief assistant fail to analyze whether what Wei Liangchen said is feasible or not, whether it is true or false?
"What do you mean?"
Chen Yiguan did not raise any objections to what Wei Liangchen said, but asked him directly about the actual situation.
"I would like to report to Your Majesty that the officers and soldiers of the two provinces of the Navy and Zhejiang and Fujian will first collect the East Francisco, then collect Ryukyu, garrison and set up camps, set up naval troops to block the north and south, charge fees for the ships coming and going, and use these two places as our Daming sea trade base, so that sea trade will no longer be controlled by outsiders."
This is the first step. Only by taking down Ryukyu and Taiwan first can we decide the second step.
The second step must be to attack Japan.
But Liangchen did not talk to Shen Yiguan, because this old man decided not to recruit Japan.
In his heart, Chen Yiguan is still a traditional scholar and official, and he is still rejected from expeditions to other countries.
"Although the Eastern Ban Dynasty has not returned to our dynasty, our dynasty has governed in Penghu, and there are also Han people living on the Dongban Island, so it is natural to send troops to collect troops. Ryukyu is a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty. Now it is occupied by the Japanese. Our dynasty should be the main country of Ryukyu and expel the Japanese. This division is famous. Only because my husband is willing to take charge of such a major event, the younger generation is willing to be the pioneer."
The good minister bowed deeply again.
