Yongkang Princess Mansion.
When Yongkang woke up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. She had a splitting headache. She couldn't remember the drinking contest last night at all, but she vaguely knew that she seemed to have lost.
"You were sent back, and someone has taken care of you all night. The princess can't do this again."
The nurse was serving tea and water.
Yongkang was naturally angry. He gritted his teeth and said, "He must have used some kind of blind trick, otherwise how could he not be drunk after drinking several kilograms of wine?"
Yongkang here She went to take a bath and change clothes, but after a lot of effort, the smell of alcohol could not be washed away, but before she could finish cleaning up, the wet nurse came over again and told her that someone from the palace was here.
"Eunuch Li"
Yongkang changed his clothes and walked out, only to see Li Rong holding the imperial edict in his hand and looking at her with a smile.
Li Rong smiled and said, "Your Majesty has a decree to convey, and it is about Consort Cui."
Yongkang calmed down and said respectfully, "I don't know what the emperor meant by conferring a title on Consort Cui." "
"No." Li Rong said, "His Majesty sent a decree to let Cui Prince Consort stay in Ningxia Town and serve as a temporary deputy general to assist Ningxia Governor Yang Yiqing in handling local military affairs."
p>
"What?"
Yongkang stared when he heard this, "I still stay in the northwest. Zhang Bingkuan is not true to his words."
Li Rong shook his head and said, "Your Highness, are you right?" What’s the misunderstanding? You went to the banquet last night and agreed to have a drinking contest. It seems that you came back drunk first."
Yongkang was stunned on the spot and murmured, "Brother Huang also knows about it."
She originally wanted to go to Zhu Youtang to complain, saying that Zhang Zhou deliberately let her, an eldest princess, drink in public to ruin the reputation of the Ming royal family. Only then did she know what Zhang Zhou had done. None of this was hidden from Zhu Youtang.
Perhaps her royal brother deliberately let her drink in front of others, or even made a fool of herself.
Li Rongdao: "Your Royal Highness, Princess Cui, staying in the Northwest Army will help Cui Consort to increase his prestige. Now what can he do when he returns to the capital? He is working as an errand in the capital camp. He really knows how to do it." Is there a big way out?"
"What about the title?" What Yongkang deplored the most was naturally the title that his husband could easily obtain.
Li Rong said with a smile, "If you stay in the northwest, you will still have the opportunity to continue to perform meritorious service. As for this military merit, Your Majesty will also reward you based on your merit. He did not say that you will not be given a title. It just depends on the timing. The battle has just begun." "Hugh, Tatar's next move is unknown. If you give me a title at this time, you will inevitably be gossiped about."
Yongkang said, "If you are rewarded for your merits, what gossip will others have?"
< p> "Consort Cui is a member of the royal family after all. He is a servant in the clan's palace and has received a title. How can others not gossip? Your Highness, the eldest princess, this is your majesty's order. You don't have to accept the order. You see for yourself. Servant! Let’s go back first.”Li Rong didn’t want to talk nonsense to Yongkang.
The emperor’s will is the final arrangement. It doesn’t matter whether you, the eldest princess, accept it or not, or you are not qualified.be opposed to.
Yongkang was naturally very angry and refused to even send her guests away.
After the wet nurse came out, she consoled her, "It's a good thing that the prince-in-law has won the post of general."
Yongkang threw the imperial edict on the table angrily, and said with a look of shame and anger on his face: " The imperial brother would rather listen to an outsider now than make decisions for his imperial sister. What a risk it is to have our husband and wife separated by thousands of miles. We may not have a chance to meet again in the future. ”
Cabinet.
The appointment letter regarding Cui Yuan was drafted by the Hanlin Academy and soon reached the ears of the three cabinet ministers.
While taking a break for lunch, Li Dongyang seemed to be thinking, "It's strange that Cui Maoren was promoted by Wang Dehua, but he was left in the northwest without being recalled, and he didn't get the honor he deserved." Yes, it's a bit strange."
Xie Qian asked with a smile, "Do you think Cui Maoren's military exploits are not included in Zhang Bingkuan's plan?"
Li Dongyang said, "That's right. It also shows that the previous plan was correct, and it may be possible to get closer to Cui Maoren, but Wang Dehui's recent negotiations have been very difficult."
The three cabinet ministers are also having a headache now. .
The previous plan was to tie Wang Hua and Wang Shouren to the side of traditional civil servants. Originally, they thought that the difficulty lay with the fledgling Wang Shouren. They were afraid that Wang Shouren would not know the truth, so they first looked for Wang Hua, who was easier to attack. .
The result is that Wang Hua seems to be more ignorant than his son.
So much so that Wang Hua seemed to not even care about his own future. He chose to turn a deaf ear to the olive branches extended by traditional civil servants such as the cabinet, which frustrated Li Dongyang who went to lobby.
The plan to win over the Wang family and his son was blocked, so they naturally aimed at another person, the newly rising Cui Yuan.
Liu Jiandao said, "The attitudes and principles of relatives of the emperor are not as firm as those of colleagues who came from Jinshi."
Xie Qian seemed to be interested and said, "I heard that recently, There seems to be a lot of unhappiness between the eldest princess Yongkang and Zhang Bingkuan, and there are signs of getting worse. "
Liu Jian was not very interested in establishing a relationship with the eldest princess Yongkang, so he asked. He said, "Where's Yang Yingning?"
I always want to win over someone who is not easy to win over, so I might as well consider Yang Yiqing, whose official career is closer to that of a traditional civil servant.
Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "Since the memorial was submitted, Yang Yingning has not even submitted any memorials, and has not sent any private letters to the capital. As for whether he has secretly communicated with the Ministry of War. , or what his intentions are, I don’t know at all now. "
Although Yang Yiqing is a "rising star", in terms of scheming, he is no worse than the old fritters in the court.
Knowing that he was now the target of public criticism, although Yang Yiqing knew that seeking refuge with Zhang Zhou was the right path, he maintained a superficial neutrality and was not directly involved with any forces in the DPRK, concentrating on his own transfer. Before taking office as the governor of Ningxia, he took charge ofGet the job done.
There was no such thing as proficiency. There was such a big mess in Ningxia's border affairs last year, but His Majesty didn't even take him down. Did he want to repay him by giving him a chance to do something good?"
Li Dongyang asked "Yu Qiao You mean, he is grateful for Zhang Bingkuan’s support.”
“Haha.” "The appointment as governor of Ningxia is not achieved overnight. If we don't rely on him, we can't expect Wang Dehua and Lu Quanqing to stand in our position." Liu Jian said, taking a memorial that had been prepared from the top of the pile. Take it out and say, "Tomorrow morning, I will mention this matter to His Majesty."
Xie Qian took it over and saw that "the Jurchens are moving again"
Li Dongyang didn't even need to read the content , he knew what it said, and he had obviously 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. After the governor of Liaodong became Wang Xian, a traditional civil servant, the Jurchens of Liaodong finally got a chance to breathe. A series of thoughts To "recover lost territory", many Jurchens who were resettled in southern Liaoning and other places were also migrating secretly, going against the previous resettlement policies of the Ming Dynasty.
There were even small-scale riots in Fushun and other places.
Although the matter was not too big, Liu Jian thought it could be used as an excuse.
Liu Jiandao said, "Yang Yingning should also know that Zhang Bingkuan is not the only one who can mobilize the northwest general. Let him go to Nu'ergandusi to manage the army. This is not only to bring order to chaos, but also to give him a chance to practice." ."
Nuergandusi was proposed by Zhang Zhou to be reestablished, and it was responsible for Jianzhou, Haixi Jurchen, etc.
When Yang Yiqing is at his most prosperous now, he must be waiting for the emperor and Zhang Zhou to transfer him to a more important position, such as replacing Qin Hong as the trilateral governor, or transferring him to the Xuanfu as governor , and even have the opportunity to become a minister of the Sixth Ministry, be transferred back to the capital, and so on.
If Yang Yiqing is transferred to Liaodong, it will naturally be a kind of psychological test for Yang Yiqing. This can be regarded as a kind of beating for Yang Yiqing by the cabinet.
Xie Qian asked with a smile, "If your Majesty can agree with Zhang Bingkuan, you should be able to see our intention."
Li Dongyang said, "At this time, when it comes to transferring Yang Yingning to Liaodong, your Majesty should I won't object. Since the matter of Liaodong Ping Jurchen is a strategy set by His Majesty, and now that trouble has occurred, it is reasonable and reasonable to send a meritorious minister to deal with it. Zhang Bingkuan and Yang Yingning don't seem to have much contact with each other. It was the right time to object, but it happened to be true. I didn't expect Zhang Bingkuan to object so rashly."
Li Dongyang is cunning.
Transferring Yang Yiqing from the governor of Ningxia to Liaodong was an obvious move to give Yang Yiqing power, but it left Zhang Zhou and even the emperor speechless.
"Very good, very 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 respond to his moves. It's different now." Now, we are in the dark, feeling more flexible."
Li Dongyang and Liu Jian rolled their eyes at Xie Qian at the same time.
It seems to be saying.
I thought it was a good thing to fall into darkness, that is, to fall into passivity
In the past, we could take the initiative and suppress Zhang Bingkuan, but nothing happened. Now let Zhang Bingkuan take advantage of the situation. The rise has made us feel constrained everywhere, and we even have to be led by his nose. It is worth celebrating in this way
Li Dongyang said, "Tomorrow morning, you have to pay attention to your tone when you play. This is all because of you, Qiao." "If you mention it, you can be prepared to advance or retreat."
With Xie Qian as the proposer, Li Dongyang and Liu Jian first watched the fire from the other side, taking advantage of Xie Qian's verbal convenience, which gave traditional civil servants a dimension to advance and retreat. There is strong opposition to this matter, which can be regarded as leaving a way out.
"Understood." Xie Qian knew that he was just a hard worker and had no objection. Anyway, the division of labor in the cabinet has always been this way.
The plans of Liu Jian and the others are established, and they will not put too much emphasis on implementing them secretly.
In order to ensure that this matter is legal and reasonable, they must first draw up a proposal in the report to Liaodong and suggest that the emperor transfer Yang Yiqing to Liaodong. In this way, before the morning of the next morning, the matter has actually been resolved. Known to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
After Li Rong reported to Zhu Youtang, Zhu Youtang didn't seem to think anything of it. Li Rong could see that this was the cabinet's coercion of favor and coercion 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 to discuss the case of Zhu Hui and other distinguished ministers, Li Rong made it clear to Zhang Zhou.
In the study room of Zhang Zhou’s house.
Li Rong sat aside and watched Zhang Zhou writing and drawing. Li Rong was too embarrassed to even go up and see what Zhang Zhou wrote on the paper.
"Eunuch Li is worried that after Yang Yingning leaves Ningxia, the Tatars will come back." Zhang Zhou seemed to be confused and asked a question that left Li Rong speechless.
Li Rong said awkwardly, "Sir, don't you worry about this newly-emerged capable minister. He will be a good match for you after we leave this place. He should be someone you can rely on when the grassland is peaceful."
< p>The merits of Huamachi and Shigoucheng that you promoted were all calculated in advance and given to him for free.We train people, and now we can just throw them away
Zhang Zhou said, "We are both serving the imperial court, so how can we differentiate between them? I actually think that the cabinet's proposal is reasonable. If we let I am here to select candidates to pacify the Jurchens in Liaodong. It is indeed difficult to find capable people other than Xin Xinbo."
Li Rong smiled bitterly and said, "They are just Jurchens, why are they so worried about North Koreans?" It's easy to lose the tail."
Zhang Zhou shook his head and said, "Mr. Li.My father is wrong. The Jurchens seem to have few people, but they have always been a hidden danger to the Central Plains dynasty. Suppression but not eradication will be the norm for some time in the future. It is not an ordinary person who can accept such an errand. I had a plan to ask Tang Yin and Anbian Hou to take orders to Liaodong. After all, they have experience in collecting and collecting. ”
“This is pretty good. ”
Li Rong happily believes that Tang Yin is Zhang Zhou’s direct descendant, and Tang Yin was previously responsible for shipbuilding and so on, and there was no room for him to use his talents. Let Tang Yin go to Liaodong for training, and he would be better off than Rang, who has become a powerful figure in the Ming Dynasty. Yang Yiqing is too powerful to go to Liaodong.
Zhang Zhou said, "Now the cabinet proposes that Yang Yingning go, plus Anbian Hou, isn't it good?"
"This"
Li Rong didn’t know how to evaluate it.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, “The two had experience working together when they were in Ningxia. Now that Yang Yingning has gained military reputation, let him go to Liaodong to lead the army. It would be great to go with Marquis Anbian who is eager to prove that he is fighting for the family."
Li Rongdao, "Sir, our family is not deliberately playing devil's advocate. You see, these two people can be of great help to you. Wouldn't transferring to Liaodong weaken your own strength in Beijing?"
"Eunuch Li, you can't say that. When working for the court, you can't think about personal gain. Besides, I am a person who has nothing to do with the world. I don’t seek any big development in the capital, and those with or without strength are beyond the scope of my thinking. ”
Zhang Zhou looked very free and easy.
Li Rong couldn’t help but smile bitterly after hearing this.
You have become the Duke of the country and the Minister of War, and one person is worth ten thousand people. A powerful minister who is above people actually has the nerve to say that he does not seek great development
"Anbianhou can also make some adjustments. I think it is not good to send a few young people to experience it." No. "Zhang Zhou said, "For example, during the expedition to Hetao, Zhang Lun, Zhou Tang, Zhou Ying, who performed well, and Jianchang Bo who was always eager to express himself"
"Jianchang Bota"
p>Li Rong wanted to say that this can be regarded as a person
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It is better to let him go to Liaodong than to leave him in the capital."
Li Rongyi I'm stunned, I think that's really the case.
Zhang Yanling will cause trouble if he stays in the capital. It's best to send him out so that the people in the capital can find peace. Please remember to collect the latest website. The fastest and free reading without anti-theft
