Cabinet value room.
Xie Qian came back from abroad and informed Li Dongyang and Liu Jian with news.
"Wang Bo'an sent General Ma Yi and led 6,000 troops to Pianguan without the permission of the court, or to assist Ma Yi in winning. This is not part of our calculations."
Xie Qian also looked worried.
Li Dongyang immediately turned his attention to Liu Jianjin and asked, "Is this Zhang Bingkuan's instruction?"
Liu Jiandao said, "In the original plan, how many troops should the Datong Xuanfu deploy?" "Assist us."
Li Dongyang frowned and said, "Datong Xuanfu is too far away from Ningxia, which is on the border of the Tatar invaders. According to the plan, troops will not be mobilized from these two places. Judging from the situation reported by the local authorities, , there are obviously insufficient soldiers in Pianguan and other places. But if Wang Boan transfers his elite troops, the situation will be very different."
"Elite" Xie Qian thought for a moment, and his eyes lit up. Li Dongyang asked, "Will he be an elite?"
Li Dongyang said, "Although Ma Yi has many bad deeds in the army, which have even been made public and ridiculed by others, he may not be very good in terms of talent. , but the more this kind of person is, the more eager he is to be superior. Before he was transferred back from the south to Datong, he felt that something might have happened. He thought he was going to assist Wang Boan, so how could he be sent to Piantuan? ""
Xie Qian said with a little relief, "At least Zhang Bingkuan doesn't want Zhang Tingmian to win in the northwest."
"It's hard to say." Li Dongyang suddenly looked doubtful. road.
I feel that they are in the same spirit."
Li Dongyang sighed, "Anyone else can use common sense to figure it out, but if it is Zhang Bingkuan, do you think he can use common sense to figure out everything he does?"
p>"Uh" Xie Qian was also dumbfounded.
Li Dongyang said, "Think about all his past actions. From when he was just a Jieyuan, he dared to make suggestions for the princess's illness from thousands of miles away, and he was opportunistic and succeeded. The first time he made plans for the northwest generals in the capital, never did he act with common sense."
Liu Jiandao, "Then let someone impeach Wang Bo'an."
"Zhongtang, that's Bo'an." "Li Dongyang was a little dissatisfied with Wang Shouren's actions just now. When he heard that Liu Jian was going to impeach Wang Shouren, he suddenly felt reluctant to give up.
"From Wang Bo'an to his father, do they still have a position on your and my side? They are becoming more and more unprincipled in doing things. Even if they have made great achievements in the northwest, no matter how capable they are, if they are detached Even if the rules exist, it is not worth it. Can you expect a person who does not abide by the rules to protect the country and the people?"
Liu Jian's attitude is also very decisive.
Even if you, Wang Shouren, were once the son of our direct family member Wang Hua, but now it is beyond our control, we will not be polite to you.
And the reasons used are also very upright.
We want you to follow the rules and officialdom isIf there are no rules and no strong backers, then get out of here.
Of course, we can't do anything for people like Zhang Zhou who don't follow the rules. Even if we try to impeach him, it's useless, so we all know what's wrong and don't ask for trouble.
Who told you that Wang Shouren was also a soft persimmon?
Xie Qian also stood by and said, "Bin Zhi, I think this makes sense. Bo'an used to be a good boy who wanted to learn and was determined to serve the country and the people, but now he is different. , If not, he will be the next Zhang Bingkuan. If he has the ability, he should be reused. "
Li Dongyang frowned when he heard this.
He has always been very optimistic about Wang Shouren.
Now that Liu Jian and Xie Qian want to use someone who is incompetent and "less than", they don't want to use Wang Shouren who is "more than enough". Naturally, they will have some doubts in their hearts. There is a deviation.
Liu Jian saw Li Dongyang's concerns and comforted him by saying, "Bin Zhi, think about it, if Wang Bo'an really wholeheartedly helps the British Lord, can your majesty and Zhang Bingkuan tolerate him? His behavior, but in the We are trying to please neither side. Although we are impeaching him, our purpose is to help him abide by etiquette and rules in the future and not go astray. "
You, it's for your own good.
Li Dongyang suddenly felt that these words sounded familiar, and the routine was also very familiar.
Li Dongyang can be cruel to others, but towards Wang Shouren, he always has some kindness, hoping to help Wang Shouren find his way back.
"That's it. Alas" Li Dongyang could only admit it in the end.
It is not a good thing to go against Liu Jian and Xie Qian, and it is even more unnecessary to help Wang Shouren who has begun to escape their control.
Xie Qian said, "Then who should be the most suitable person to impeach Wang Bo'an?"
Liu Jian didn't even think about it and pointed to an empty seat next to him. That was exactly The seat where Cheng Minzheng usually works, but since Cheng Minzheng entered the cabinet, he has almost never sat in that seat. He has been sent out to do other things.
Even if Cheng Minzheng joins the cabinet, he still has to take care of book repair most of the time. In addition, Cheng Minzheng himself is assigned to the upper auditorium, which makes Cheng Minzheng a figure that is incompatible with the cabinet's iron triangle.
In the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youtang is rewarding "heroes".
Next to Zhu Youtang stood Xiao Jing, Wei Bin and Li Zhang, and below stood another eunuch, Liu Jin, who had been appointed as the internal officer of the Admiral Yanwu Hall.
The hero this time is Liu Jin.
"You have done a good job in the Yanwu Hall. Even Bingkuan praised you for being brave and resourceful. He gave you errands and asked you to go to the frontier to practice, but you didn't make much of a name for yourself. Now, I just have an important errand for you."
In addition to rewarding Liu Jin for his hard work in the Yanwu Hall, Zhu Youtang also had another purpose, which was to send Liu Jin to the West.Bei, as if to make amends afterwards, went to assist Zhang Mao in the war.
Liu Jin's eyes filled with tears when she heard this. She knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "I will serve you to the best of your ability."
"You don't have to die, and there is no need for you to die. You just have to do your best." Just do your job. You were transferred to Pianguan before, so you should know the situation there. The current governor of Pianguan is Ma Zhongxi, and the chief military officer is actually not a British prince. He is just passing by to ask for some troops. , you went over to help him gather his troops, and then wait for the opportunity to send troops." Zhu Youtang arranged tactics for Liu Jin according to his own ideas.
Liu Jin was also puzzled.
Zhang Mao also brought the eunuchs to supervise the army this time. Why did he let me go?
The eunuchs given to Zhang Mao to supervise the army this time were direct descendants of Li Zhang, the imperial eunuchs. Zhang Jin, the young eunuch who served as the supervisor, was indeed incompetent, young and flashy, but just because his surname was Zhang and he was from Jinling, he insisted that his ancestors were related to Zhang Zhou for several generations, although no one could verify it. , but such a guy actually became a powerful figure under Li Zhang because of this.
At present, anyone in the court who is related to Zhang Zhou can turn a pheasant into a phoenix.
For people like Zhang Jin, they need to be bold. Maybe they know that Zhang Zhou is too lazy to argue with him, but others will think that this may really be the case.
I’m not afraid that you are telling nonsense, but I’m afraid that you are really a relative of Zhang Zhou, and when you become rich later, I didn’t open up the joints in advance.
I would rather believe that it exists than believe that it does not exist.
Zhu Youtang continued, "If the British Lord has already led the army and left when you arrive, then you can lead some people to continue chasing. After arriving in the army, bring my words to him, and then let him You go coordinate the deployment of troops and other matters."
Liu Jin said, "I will do my best."
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, "Are you worried about the generals in the northwest?" Official, I won’t listen to you, and I don’t want to think about who sent you there. You are from Yanwu Hall, and you are someone I trust. If you go to the northwest, you can handle all the relationships. Okay, I will also send you to a certain place to guard in the future, and you will make the best use of your talents." Liu Jin was frightened when he heard this.
It’s so nice to brag in front of the prince who is working as an errand boy for the prince. Telling the prince about the Yanwu Hall is like holding the golden key in his hand.
After going to the northwest, within a year or two, the prince forgot about him.
By then he will be no different from the guard eunuchs everywhere.
"My slave obeys the order." Liu Jin hurriedly saluted and accepted the order.
Liu Jin received rewards, both material and official, and was directly promoted to the horse supervisor, in charge of horses and other matters.
Although he is not yet a eunuch, there is a palm print, a supervisor, and an admiral eunuch each, but he can still be regarded as the fourth in command of the Royal Horse Eunuch.
It is rare for someone like Liu Jin to rise to prominence in a short period of time, especially when he was almost killed by Zhu Youtang.Even Li Zhang who sent him out was surprised that Liu Jin had such ability and could instantly become a unique figure in the eyes of the emperor.
"Eunuch Li, if you have any orders, just tell someone and they will do it for you."
Liu Jin is still very sensible.
No matter how favored he is now, he is just an errand worker. He does not dare to look up to the eunuchs of the East Factory like Li Zhang.
Li Zhang said, "Liu Jin, you are really a capable person. The prince believes in you, and even Cai Guogong favors you. There are so many people in the Royal Horse Prison, like you, both in the palace and outside the capital." It is rare to find someone who has served as a chief town official and has had connections, abilities, qualifications and a promising future."
When Liu Jin heard this, he thought. It seemed like a nice thing to say, but it sent shivers down his spine.
He hurriedly said, "Father-in-law, you are making fun of me. I am a born bitch. I do things for others without asking for anything in return. Maybe it is because of this that I send a few more." Errands. Previously, I was just running errands in the East Palace to serve people."
"Don't be humble. Do you think our family is mocking you? We are envious of you. I wonder how many people Cai Guogong can follow. When you get rich, don’t forget these people.” Li Zhang said he was not sarcastic, but in fact he was still sarcastic, and it was more out of jealousy and jealousy. Suspicion.
I want to have a good relationship with Liu Jin, but I feel unwilling to do so. How come you, Liu Jin, an inconspicuous person, can get along like a fish in water
And I, Li, am... He is the boss of Dongchang, but he is more like an errand boy.
Li Zhang continued, "When you get there, you will definitely get a lot of wealth, but you have to be restrained. Your Majesty is very concerned about corruption among middle-level officials." Things are always strictly investigated."
Liu Jin said, "I won't cause trouble to you, Eunuch Li."
"Haha."
Li Zhang heard the meaning of Liu Jin's words.
To cause trouble, that is to say, if something happens to Liu Jin, the people who investigate Liu Jin will be from Dongchang, and they will also fall into the hands of Li Zhang.
Liu Jin smiled and said, "But I must be filial to you. I have also heard Cai Guogong mention that Eunuch Li is reliable in his work and is a loyal minister in front of His Majesty."
p>"Really?"
After hearing this, Li Zhang naturally knew that Liu Jin was complimenting him.
Now the two eunuchs actually rely on Zhang Zhou's praise to find psychological comfort and use it as a topic of compliment. Li Zhang doesn't mind, he also wants to ask more about what Zhang Zhou usually says. But I know it’s not easy to ask this kind of thing casually.
"Then from now on, if you have anything to do, just come and tell our family. We can help to the best of our ability, and we will never refuse."
"How dare you."
p>"You must dare, otherwise how can we have any friendship? Don't think that our family's current status is higher than yours, but who knows who will be higher and who will be lower in the future"
"Don't dare Don't dare, little oneI can also drive for you, Eunuch Li, in the future. ”
Liu Jin was in a very good mood after seeing Li Zhang.
Singing a little song and humming, she left the palace gate. In addition to going to the Yanwu Hall to complete the handover, , I have to go back to my private residence in the capital to tidy up, and I’m going to leave for the northwest.
“The weather is really nice. ”
Liu Jin looked up at the sky, there was no sun, but Liu Jin could see the sunshine in this hazy sky.
The emperor appreciated it, Zhang Zhou appreciated it, the prince appreciated it, Now I have arranged a big errand for myself, to go to the northwest to make connections, and I have said that if I have the opportunity, I will send him to be the guard eunuch, which is a fat position that will make many people jealous.
I, Liu, don’t have it. There are no bad principles when it comes to relationships. It’s just because of your ability that you are appreciated by so many people and can get this kind of job that no one else can ask for.
My ancestors were so proud. p>
However, Liu Jin was also a little confused. This should be the smoke coming from the Liu family's ancestral grave, or the Tan family's.
After all, Liu Jin's surname is Tan.
"My father-in-law." , the young nephew is here, saying that he lost money in business and wants to find some money to make up for it. "The little eunuch who Liu Jin usually served as his attendant was also the little eunuch he arranged to run errands after he became the eunuch of Yanwutang. He spoke to him respectfully.
"That guy still has the nerve to come."
p>Liu Jin cursed and said, "After studying for a few days, I thought I could do business. Don't lose all your money in the casino. You want me to give him money to make up for it."
Liu Jin was a little angry.
Not far away, he saw a boy looking around at the street entrance. When he saw a woman coming out, he looked around a few more times. The expression on his face made Liu Jin disgusted.
"Yeah. "After Liu Jin walked over, he cleared his throat, and then he realized that it was Liu Jin who was here.
"Grandpa, Erhan wants to say hello to you. "The man was smiling with respect.
It was Liu Jin's great-nephew Liu Erhan. His original surname was not Liu, but he also changed his surname after Liu Jin.
And Liu Jin was historically known as Liu Erhan. It was said to be a rebellion because some fortune-tellers said that his grandnephew Liu Erhan was destined to be emperor. I don't know whether it was true or not, but it was generally accepted that Liu Jin was good to his grandnephew. Free reading
