As soon as Zhang Zhou arrived at the port, things became very busy.
After Zhang Zhou handled a lot of official duties that night, before he even had time to rest, another report came up saying that Xinning Bo Tan You, the honorary minister responsible for assisting in guarding the port, came to visit.
Tan You is in his fifties. He looks energetic and has the demeanor of a warrior. Zhang Zhou also knows that this kind of old man belongs to the court. Tan You originally had the opportunity to follow Zhang Mao to the northwest. , but on the eve of the troop deployment, he was sent to the port by the emperor.
The name was to assist Zhang Zhou, but in fact, such honorable ministers had no power at all when they arrived at the port. The total number of soldiers they could mobilize was less than the manpower of a hundred households, and they were all confined to a corner of the city.
"I have met Cai Guogong."
Tan You also understood the importance of etiquette, and he greeted Zhang Zhou when he came up.
Then the two of them went to the small hall nearby. In the candlelight, tea was delivered to the table, but it was obvious that Tan You did not come to drink tea at night.
"Who else?" Li Dongyang couldn't help but ask as he came in from the door.
Li Dongyang took advantage of Cheng Minzheng's absence and said bluntly, "I'm afraid the result of Yu Qiao's case will be today."
Zhang Zhou smiled.
This also shows that no matter how high a minister's status is, he still does not have much say in the decision-making level of the DPRK.
Zhang Zhou said, "The British prince said that he was not adapted to the bitter cold and dry weather in the northwest, but I think he may not be able to adapt to the cold and humid climate here. Coming from the northwest, there are long mountains and rivers, so why bother?" Instead of going through the trouble, it’s better for Xin Ningbo to convey my intention to him. His dispatch is not my responsibility. If he has any opinions about the errand at hand, let him just submit a petition to His Majesty to make the decision for him.”
< p> Just like when Zhang Zhou was in the capital, not all the honorable ministers had the opportunity to meet Zhang Zhou alone. It was obvious to all the honorable ministers in the capital how difficult it was to enter Zhang Zhou's house, and now because he was working at the port , and he would still visit late at night.To sum up one point here from Zhang Zhou, don’t even think about what doesn’t belong to you, and fighting for it is in vain.
The Ming Dynasty has been developing firearms for several years. As the northern frontier troops are gradually equipped with advanced artillery and muskets, local soldiers can only look forward to it and sigh.
Zhang Zhou said, "Bo Xin Ningbo's words are very resounding, but I don't know whether to take them as a tribute."
Zhang Zhou just smiled.
Those who serve as ministers also know how to adapt to the changing circumstances. In the past, Zhang Mao could compete with Zhang Zhou, but now Zhang Mao is not even worthy of carrying Zhang Zhou's shoes.
What's the use of just telling me this?
Zhang Zhou said, "Uncle Xin Ning really doesn't have to worry about this. I can only stay here for a few months at most. Recently, I can only stay here for a few months." I still need you to worry about the military training in the city. Why don't we go to the school together tomorrow to see how the sailors are doing?"
Li Zhang then left first, leaving the young eunuch waiting to lead the three of them there. The Qianqing Palace that was granted a visit.
Zhang Zhou smiled.
Zhang Zhou said, "The coordination of soldiers and horses everywhereSend, there is no need for you to worry, Uncle Xin Ning. They all prepare their own military rations. As for baggage and other supplies, the court will allocate them, and the city will also set aside some, and someone will transport them there. As for the arriving soldiers, they can camp outside the port.
After a while of greetings and compliments, Tan You said, "I heard that the Marquis of Anbian and the Marquis of Jingshan came here with Cai Guogong, but they have to help guard the town here. I have a lot of military affairs on my hands." I reported the matter several times but got no reply, so I could only visit rashly. ”
Li Zhang said, “The minister Lu in the Shangting Office, as well as the two ministers from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishments, are all from the Bureau of Rites. "
"Understood. Li Dongyang said, "We should not defend Yu Qiao. Instead, we should fight the crime for him, so as to make His Majesty feel that this matter was not ordered by us." "
Tan You said again, "Even if Cai Guogong does not want to take the lead, we are still willing to help the country. This matter is obligatory. "
"You are saying"
After Wei Guogong Xu Yan retired from the post of guarding Nanjing, he has been doing Jinghai affairs in Hainingwei.
"Oh. Really?"
Li Dongyang did not answer.
This dispatching of local troops and horses to Liaodong is also a change of garrison.
Xun Xun, who was stationed in the Beijing camp, When Chen was transferred to the port, he originally had great expectations, but when he arrived, he realized that this place was really Zhang Zhou's place. Everyone else was just a foil here, and his reputation for being awesome was in vain.
< p>On the contrary, Liu Jian said worriedly, "If it were Your Majesty, I'm afraid there would be prejudice against this. "Although nothing he came to tell Zhang Zhou happened, he seemed to be "looked at in a different light" by Zhang Zhou.
Li Dongyang said with slight relief, " Yu Qiao's popularity is not bad. Except for Shang Ting Chu, no one has tried to convict him yet. If His Majesty complies with the agreement and only talks about Qiao's guilt in the above-mentioned words, then Yu Qiao should be able to get away with this matter. "
Tan You's efforts were in vain.
Zhang Zhou asked, "The British prince has been pampered for a long time. If he is allowed to go here, I'm afraid he won't be able to adapt. Could it be that Xin Ningbo wants him to replace you?"
"Got it. "
But Zhang Zhou is different. He is not only an honorable minister in the governor's palace, but also the minister of the Ministry of War, and the absolute think tank of the emperor.
Li Dongyang said, "Then what kind of argument does Wang Yongjing make? If we really want to discuss the crime, I'm afraid."
When he said goodbye, his steps seemed very light, and he felt as if he had found the second spring of his life.
In When working at the port, I don’t have much power, but because I work under Zhang Zhou, this is actually a political resource.
It seems to be saying, you ask too many questions, this is not what you should do. Concerned.
The emperor is sitting behind the desk. Because the room is heated, the emperor is in good spirits, but several ministers will feel a little hot when they come in.
Every year, the emperor will say so. The ministers are given a holiday on Zhengdan, at least ten days.
The light is mine.Express your position in front of me
Anything you say to the emperor without going directly to the memorial sounds like bullshit to me.
Li Dongyang also briefly exchanged a few words with Wang Shi. It seemed that he was not involved in the case with Xie Qian, but he tactfully expressed that Wang Shi should handle it himself and not follow the crowd.
The twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month.
It is clear that Xie Qian did something wrong and could be considered guilty or not guilty. However, the people in the court unanimously felt that Xie Qian was not guilty. How did this look to the emperor? It's not that everyone in the court wears the same pants
This is to tell him that the two of them are of the same mind, which is equivalent to a way of surrendering to show loyalty.
Tan You was speechless for a moment.
"Very good, very good."
If the northern frontier army is allowed to dominate, even if the Beijing camp is also trained, it will still be a factor of instability for the Ming Dynasty. If the army breaks into chaos, the so-called "king of diligence" will be meaningless, because the combat strength of the local soldiers of the Ming Dynasty is still far behind that of the steppe Tatar cavalry, let alone compared with the frontier troops equipped with advanced weapons.
Tan You thought for a while.
Tan You continued, "Mr. Xie Ge is usually in court, and there are many people who make jokes and make jokes to offend people. And many times he relies on his elders to show off his old skills, but he never thought about how this would affect Chao Gang. When using the military in the north, , who are good at discussing military affairs and the use of troops, and who do not care about the safety of soldiers on the front line. Such people should be judged according to the law, so that they can intimidate people and determine the power of the military."
If you say it is serious, it is a capital crime. If you say it is small, it is a crime. It doesn't work.
Liu Jiandao: "Don't deliberately give instructions, let him make his own decisions. With him having been in power for so many years, is it possible that as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, he doesn't even have this sense of propriety before going to the Palace of Qianqing? Just give him a hint." , and you must not give too many instructions and leave nothing behind."
Tan You stood up and said, "Not only do I, but also many colleagues in the army think so. Many people in the Governor's Mansion have petitioned to take this as an example. , Officials are not allowed to interfere with the march. It would be best if Mr. Cai Guogong could take charge of the overall situation and take the lead in signing the petition." Tan You said with emotion, but also seemed to want to shine, " Mr. Cai Guogong, I also have some old friends with Mr. Ying, but he said that he was in Ningxia, but I asked someone to find me. I said that I must tell you about his situation when I have the opportunity. He is old and frail, and he would like to return to the capital for a job. , or this is the port place, he may want to come. As long as he is the same as Wei Guogong, I also know that the British prince is a bit hypocritical. Leading troops from the northwest is also a blessing."
Zhang Zhou shook his head and said, "We have also mobilized troops from Jizhou Town this time. If anyone really dares to cause trouble, we will not let them do this. . In addition to the border troops, local soldiers in the north are rarely equipped with firearms. Even if they make trouble, they will not make too much noise."
"Speaking of Liaodong. I have heard about the war. I have recently dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from Beijing Ying, Shandong and other places to come here and cross the sea to the east from here.Come in, but there are currently too few places in the city to place these sergeants, and there are also few people at my disposal, so I really can't help. "
Liu Jiandao, "Except for Shang Tingchu, no one thinks Yu Qiao is guilty."
"Yes. Li Dongyang nodded, "After all, it's all about face." ”
Tan You also came to Zhang Zhou directly to inquire.
In his opinion, this means that his statement is useful and makes Zhang Zhou feel that he is worthy. Trust him, otherwise why would Zhang Zhou give him the right to participate in military training and exercises?
This means that in addition to the three cabinet members who were summoned by the inner court, there were also Lu Wan, Lin Han and Wang The three of them are Shi, and then there are the three current Supervisors, namely Chen Kuan, Li Zhang and Wei Bin.
This is to gain power for themselves.
Showing that he and Zhang Zhou were of the same mind, Tan You actually took the initiative to disparage Zhang Mao.
Tan You said, "I believe that Mr. , you should handle it strictly. ”
In other words, you think too highly of yourself. You actually ask me this kind of question, but you know that I won’t even talk about it in front of people around me, let alone a half-baked person like you< /p>
"Business matters are business. Your Majesty did not allow me to participate in it. Whether Mr. Xie Ge is guilty or how much he is guilty will be decided by the court. It's none of your business. "Zhang Zhou made a haha.
The Ministry of War is responsible for the affairs of the port itself, and as the Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhang Zhou is equivalent to Tan You's immediate superior, and is even better than him in title and military position. Gao, he had to obey orders.
He then realized that Tan You did not come to him to find out the truth, but to express his stance.
The emperor asked all parties in the court to do so. The Yamen came to discuss Xie Qian's crime, but did not involve the governor's office. Perhaps in the emperor's view, it was a bit ridiculous for a group of military men to discuss the conviction of a civil servant, so the military attaché was not even planning to discuss the matter. Come and participate in the discussion.
Tan You is very happy.
I said I didn’t care about this matter, but you actually asked me to take the lead in jointly impeaching Xie Qian.
Although the emperor allowed each yamen to deliberate on their own, the cabinet has great power and each yamen has its own people, because each yamen cannot make decisions by the person in charge and must conduct internal discussions. In the end, the results of the internal deliberations of each yamen will be truthfully communicated. Li Dongyang heard this, and Li Dongyang told Liu Jian again.
Outside the Qianqing Palace, several people were waiting to enter.
Liu Jian came early this morning. He came to the cabinet to check in, but before the three members of the cabinet arrived, Li Zhang came over in person to send a message, saying that the emperor had summoned the three members of the cabinet.
Li Dongyang nodded, as if he already knew what was going on. < /p>
Li Dongyang also seemed to feel that there was something wrong with it.
"This"
Tan You seemed to know very well that he was a soy sauce man at the port. If he could not take advantage of it. He helped him gain power while Zhang Zhou was around, and when Zhang Zhou left, heThere's no way to mess around here.
Waiting until Lu Wan arrived, the emperor notified several people to come in. Cheng Minzheng followed Li Dongyang, reminding him intentionally or unintentionally, "I'm sure we can suppress the matter this time."
Several people came in together.
Liu Jiandao, "Even if all the officials in the DPRK agree, you and I cannot be too indulgent."
Tan Youdao, "Everyone in Beijing is talking about the case of Mr. "What do you think about this?"
"That's all. I wonder if His Majesty will ask about this matter today. If he really wants to ask about it, Wang Yongjing may be able to come forward with a different argument. With such different voices, Your Majesty Take it easy." Liu Jian is politically aware and knows that this will not be unanimous.
But just because there is Xie Qian's case to be handled at the end of this year, the ministers of the DPRK and China are also very anxious about it.
Zhang Zhou asked, "Has Your Majesty asked the Governor's Office to participate in the investigation of Mr. "I wonder if setting up camp will affect the order in the city? If the foreign sergeant cannot enter the city, it will be difficult to judge if he causes trouble outside the city. " Tan You continued to pull.
Zhang Zhou said, "Your Majesty sent Uncle Xinning here for a profound reason. As for the Marquis of Anbian and the Marquis of Jingshan, they both came for the Liaodong war and will not stay here long."
< p>This day is normal. It is approaching the end of the year, and the emperor does not go to court because he is ill. All major and minor matters in the court can basically be resolved internally. For ministers, it does not make much difference whether there is a court meeting or not. After all, most years ago Things have been decided, and it is more likely that we will just stay until the end of the year and wait for the spring break.After the emperor and his ministers greeted each other, Zhu Youtang immediately waved his hand and asked people to prepare chairs for everyone present except the eunuchs, so that they could sit down.
Zhu Youtang got straight to the point and said, "I invite you all to come. There is something that has been unresolved for a long time. There should be a result. Go and bring out the results of the discussions in the public houses in Beijing. I want to see it. What do they think about this? This matter should be settled before the end of the year."
