Chapter 604: Killed in High Position

Xie moved his residence.

Xie Qian has been recuperating for more than half a month. Whether he is sick or not is no longer important. He has not even come to visit him. It seems that even the officials who looked up to him before now regard him as the god of plague. , for fear of involving him too much.

When Li Dongyang came to visit that day, Xie Qian even asked his servants to inform him first, so that Li Dongyang could avoid it. Only after Li Dongyang insisted on meeting, the two met in Xie Qian's study.

"Yu Qiao, you don't have to be so depressed. If His Majesty is aware of everything, maybe it won't be long before anyone cares about your matter." Li Dongyang first spoke to comfort him.

Xie Qian said, "What's the matter with me?"

Tit-for-tat and using words to regain the situation is what Xie Qian is good at.

Li Dongyang was also a little speechless, and he probably understood that Xie Qian was probably holding back his nerves these days, and he didn't care about his closeness when speaking, and even wanted to confront him tit for tat.

Li Dongyang said, "However, at present, colleagues from the Sixth Section of the Central Military Commission have taken part in impeaching you, and you should know why. I can now confirm that Wang Bo'an sent troops from Weininghai and counted the days to advance. There are still six or seven days in the grassland, and the results of the battle may be reported in these days."

"That means I should just surrender." Xie Qian was also a little helpless.

When the emperor investigated him, he teamed up with a group of officials to impeach Wang Shouren for deploying troops to Zhang Mao without permission. Behind the scenes, he was not cooperating with Zhang Mao's deployment of troops to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and he violated the emperor's orders openly and secretly.

If Wang Shouren achieved military exploits on the grassland, it would mean that this impeachment was pure nonsense, and the emperor would have more reason to replace him or even hold him accountable.

Li Dongyang sat down and said decisively, "Yu Qiao, no one will judge your crime, not even His Majesty. You did nothing wrong. It was just this fight. I will wait and see. He was in Zhang Bingkuan's opposing position, and he used the momentum to tilt the situation in his direction. This time, multiple troops were sent out, and the results were unpredictable. Could he be able to defeat the enemy at every step?"

Xie Qian looked up at Li Dongyang and said, "You also know that as long as Wang Bo'an has military exploits on the battlefield, I am maliciously slandering him, which is against the way of a minister. As for the victory or defeat in the other routes, it has nothing to do with me. "What a connection"

As long as Wang Shouren wins, Xie Qian will be held accountable, it's that simple.

Li Dongyang said, "As long as the results of the battle are not satisfactory, there is still room for maneuver. Ningxia, Yansui and Pianguan are all at risk of being attacked by Tatars, but in the grasslands As long as the British army goes deep, no matter how great the results are, the British will go all the way."

"You want to say that as long as Zhang Mao is defeated in the northwest, then"

Both of them said half of what they said.

Li Dongyang nodded and said with a bit of fierceness in his eyes, "Wang Bo'an privately transferred 6,000 troops to the British Duke without the permission of the court. If the British Duke has no achievements in the northwest, he may even be defeated." If Wang Bo'an loses, his merits and demerits will at most be offset, and the impeachment of Wang Bo'an and the BritishWhat's wrong with privately seconding troops and horses between public servants?"

"Then"

Xie Qian stood up again.

He seemed to hear it too , it seems that as long as Zhang Mao is defeated, then Xie Qian seems to be able to make a clean break from this matter.

"You want to ask, what is the chance of the British Prince's victory in the northwest? In fact, from His Majesty's position, to Zhang Bingkuan. Neither position will allow the British to win in the northwest, and you should know that. As long as the officials and generals in the northwest cooperate, there is almost no doubt that the British Duke's trip to the northwest will return without success. ”

“What about the defeat?” If we cooperate with sending troops, and the Tatars have to choose one way to fight back, which way do you think the Tatars will choose?"

Xie Qian said, "That old man Zhang Mao really knows how to lead troops into the grassland."

"I have found someone to impeach him. On the grounds that he was slow to send troops and did not personally lead the troops out of the pass, his current actions are not even as good as those of Zhu Hui before. I want your majesty to There are already many barriers between him, and this impeachment is at most to cater to the Holy Will and force him to send troops, isn't it very easy?"

Li Dongyang's words also made Xie Qian feel a little scary.

Xie Qian said, "Bin Zhi, why do I feel that doing this is a bit excessive?"

"Otherwise" Li Dongyang said, "The British prince led troops to the northwest, he had already sent troops Otherwise, what would His Majesty have sent him to do? He was leading troops in the northwest, but he still wanted to stay in a corner and watch the fire. Since he was going to lead troops on an expedition, he should fight bravely to kill the enemy. This is not only His Majesty’s expectation of him, but also the expectation of the officials and the people of the DPRK. , shouldn't he be like this?"

Xie Qian sighed and said, "But it seems that what we expected was not done by the ministers. ”

Now I am looking forward to Zhang Mao’s defeat in order to clear the stain on me and Xie. Even I, Xie, feel that doing so seems a bit shameful.

Li Dongyang's eyes looked very decisive and he said, "Winning or losing is his business, not what I want. If a person takes on responsibilities beyond his ability and cannot complete them, does he need others to take the blame for him?" Yu Qiao sent him. The people in the northwest are His Majesty, not you and me.

Xie Qian seemed to be able to do some psychological comfort at this moment, and sighed, "That's right. We didn't agree to let Zhang Mao go to the northwest at the beginning. It was just His Majesty who insisted, or Zhang Bingkuan was behind it." Add fuel to the flames. But I always feel like forget it."

Li Dongyang smiled and said, "You can rest assured and recuperate. I believe that in a few days, your illness will be cured without medicine. ”

After Li Dongyang met Xie Qian, he immediately went to visit Liu Jian. In fact, the purpose was to tell Liu Jian that I had already comforted Xie Yuqiao and was just waiting for him to return to the court.

Liu Jian’s expectations for this matter do not seem to be as optimistic as Li Dongyang’s

“Binzhi, I learned from Keqin that His Majesty had summoned him to inquire about the new cabinet. Regarding the matter of ministers and personnel, your Majesty may haveI can't wait to increase the number of cabinet ministers. "Liu Jian said.

Li Dongyang did not respond.

He also knew that as the chief assistant, Liu Jian's resources in the court were unmatched by Li Dongyang.

Liu Jian said, “So. As I expected, His Majesty wants to replace you, me and Yu Qiao with Wang Hao and Zhang Zhou in the cabinet. In this case, it seems that the cabinet does not need us anymore. ”

“It’s still three people.” After hearing this, Li Dongyang didn’t quite believe it.

Once he had to replace the old Audio-Technica and replace it with the new Audio-Technica, obviously It was difficult to convince the public for a while.

Liu Jian said in a very calm tone, "With Cheng Keqin as the first assistant and Zhang Bingkuan as the second assistant, if Zhang Bingkuan doesn't take the lead, he will be the first assistant in a few years. Perhaps His Majesty also took great pains to cultivate and promote Zhang Bingkuan. ”

After hearing this, Li Dongyang also showed great worry.

Obviously, what Liu Jian said was probably what the emperor was thinking, because the emperor To cultivate Zhang Zhou, it is obvious that Zhang Zhou will not be the first person when he comes up, especially in the cabinet where traditional civil servants are deeply rooted. Then let Cheng Minzheng be the first person, and be able to fulfill Cheng Minzheng's wish to be the first assistant. It seems to be It couldn't be more appropriate.

Li Dongyang said, "Is there any way to resolve it now?"

Liu Jian looked at Li Dongyang with a sharp look and asked, "In addition to discrediting Zhang Bingkuan. Besides, I can't seem to see any way out.

Li Dongyang thought for a while, nodded and said, "If something happens on Zhang Bingkuan's battlefield, it may not be possible within a year or two. Unless the British Duke is defeated in the northwest, this will also change Yu Qiao." Mindset is the key. Alas."

Li Dongyang sighed heavily and continued, "I didn't expect that after going round and round, I would only end up with the British male. Is there really nothing we can do?"

We can only wait until Zhang Mao's army is defeated. Xie Qian's impeachment and Wang Shouren's troop deployment can be resolved. We can even use Zhang Mao to deal with Zhang Zhou and eradicate it physically. Zhang Zhou's path

So

the civil servant's final honor seemed to fall on an unrelated Zhang Mao

This also made Li Dongyang unhappy.

Liu Jiandao said, "Even if the British army is defeated, things can turn around a little bit."

"We will add fire to the fire. If we can't burn the fire, Get up, no one else can do anything, and His Majesty may also keep an eye on all aspects of the DPRK. If we continue to go astray"

There are some things that Li Dongyang no longer needs to say clearly.

It is obviously not possible to take the normal path

The emperor's trust in Zhang Zhou was too deep, so he could only wait for Zhang Mao's defeat and then take advantage of the conflict between Zhang Mao and Zhang Zhou over the military power. , write some articles.

At that time, there will be no justice at all. Their traditional civil servants can only take unconventional ways, which can even be said to be villain behavior, in order to kill Zhang Zhou from his high position.

Lin Han’s mansion.

Lin Han just moved to a new home these days.

The house was given by the emperor. Lin Han finally had a decent residence in the capital. In addition, even the furniture and furnishings were new. It was nominally because Lin Han was outstanding as the Minister of Rites. , only to receive the reward, but in fact, even Lin Han himself knew that the emperor was doing this for the sake of his son-in-law.

It’s just that Lin Han would never admit it either in front of others or in private.

"Father."

Lin Ting followed him into the new home and was surprised to see the furnishings in the home. His eyes showed that he didn't believe what he saw. .

Lin Han said, "Where have you been these past few days?"

Lin Ting said, "Father, have you not received a letter from the child? The child has just been to Yongping Mansion and the port. It was an errand sent by the Ministry of Industry. It took me a month or two to sort it out. I just had some free time and I was transferred back to Beijing to report to the Ministry of Industry. I came back to see if you are okay, father."

"Yeah."

Lin Han nodded.

Recently, he really doesn't care about his son. No matter how awesome Lin Ting is, it doesn't seem to have much to do with him, the Minister of Rites.

How can a person in a high position have so much time to care about trivial matters

"What about the younger brothers and sisters?" Lin Ting asked with a smile.

Lin Han raised his head and looked at his son with a frown. He felt that his son was making fun of him.

The so-called "younger brothers and sisters", in addition to those who are adults or those who are jumping around, there are also some who are still in their infancy.

Who told him that Lin Han was young and powerful, and he just liked the feeling of having children when he was old?

"Everything is going well at home. After you go in to pay your respects to the elders, you can go about your errands first. The family hasn’t arranged a place for you yet, so I’m afraid you’ll have to find a place to sleep tonight.”

Although the house is large, Lin Han also knows that there are many people in each room and there is no room for adults. The son arranges a residence.

Lin Ting smiled and said, "Father is too worried. The child has a place to stay in Beijing."

"When did it happen?"

Lin Han was also surprised. My son actually has a farm and a house in Beijing

"It was temporarily arranged by the Ministry of Industry. Now my son's wife and daughter also live there. I actually want to see my sister recently"

"Don't go see her." Lin Han said in a cold tone, "Your sister is already married."

"The child is talking about the third sister."

Lin Han was also speechless.

When Lin Ting mentioned his sister, Lin Han naturally thought of Lin Yi, but he forgot that he actually had many daughters. Maybe in his heart, this daughter was also the most important. Who let her The bond between him and Zhang Zhou is maintained through the marriage of this daughter

The more I care about something, the more I think about it, I don’t knowThe feeling is expressed.

"Erlang is back." While he was talking, Lin Han's wife Lin Ruan came out of the inner house and couldn't help but smile when she saw Lin Ting.

In the Lin family, Lin Ting's status is not low. After all, he is a Jinshi and has a good relationship with Zhang Zhou.

Lin Han is old now. Although Lin Ting is not Lin Ruan's biological son, he, as his aunt, still has a strong say in the family. After all, Lin Han, the Minister of Rites, is still very important. Those who care about etiquette.

Lin Ting walked over and said hello to his aunt mother, "My child has met my mother. Today, my child went back to Beijing to report on his work, so he came home specially to see and say hello to his mother."

Lin Ting Mrs. Ruan seemed to take everything very lightly in the past, because her husband didn't care about her and she didn't have a son to love her.

But after her husband became "prosperous", her mood seemed to be much better.

"Just come back and say hello everywhere. In the future, if you are an official in the court, you may come back less often to see each other." Lin Ruan walked up to Lin Han and saluted, "Master, in the inner chamber I have something to discuss with you. Do you think so?"

Lin Han himself is a busy man and doesn't come back often.

And after he came back, he still had so many "confidantes" that he couldn't spare time to talk to his wife about family matters.

"Yeah." Lin Han said with a straight face.

Lin Ting saluted his father and mother again.

But I am thinking in my heart

My family is different from before. The life I lived in the past was called poverty. Now, could it be said that my father has become a corrupt official?

But not yet When Lin Ting went in to greet several concubines, the emperor came to give rewards again.

This also surprised Lin Ting.

"Your Majesty gave it to Mr. Lin. They say that Mr. Lin can be the prime minister and assistant minister in the future. It's true. I can't wait but I'm just here to enjoy it. You are the second son of the Lin family. It's really true." He is a talented person, and he will definitely be a good general in the future."
