Cabinet, value room.
Liu Jian placed a memorial sent to Beijing from the General Affairs Department through formal channels, which was Tang Yin's resignation letter, and placed it directly in front of Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang picked it up and took a look, nodded and said: "It is common to resign as a routine matter."
Obviously Li Dongyang did not think that Tang Yin's resignation was a sincere act; Tang Yin was acting coyly. He failed to win the battle on the front line. After withdrawing his troops, he pretended to resign. When the emperor disapproved of the decree, he could continue to "do evil".
This is also a routine used by civil servants in North Korea and China.
Liu Jiandao: "Look at this again..."
Then Li Dongyang saw a memorial that shocked his jaw.
This is a memorial jointly submitted by three censors of Shaanxi Province to impeach Tang Yin.
In the memorial, they bitterly stated Tang Yin’s misdeeds in the northwest, and even showed that after the end of the First World War in the north, Tang Yin simply fell into disrepute. He did not even train his troops and horses, and he was very slack in military and political affairs. Even daily patrols and other tasks cannot be done.
On the contrary, Zhu Fu, the Duke of Chengguo, worked hard and completed some patrol tasks.
But then it was shown at the end that due to Tang Yin's inaction, even Duke Cheng was infected, and he even imitated Tang Yin's disregard for military affairs...
It seems that , those officials know how to criticize, they fully belittled Tang Yin in this matter, and were quite polite to Zhu Fu. They attacked Tang Yin in all kinds of ways. As for Tang Yin's actions, they almost wanted to think about it in their minds. Use all the bad words and phrases that can be used in it.
Li Dongyang said with emotion: "There are many people who have participated in the impeachment of the trilateral system, but there has never been one with such fierce rhetoric as today."
Previous presidents The trilateral system will often encounter things like impeachment, but in those impeachments, the language will not be as strong as today.
Tang Yin seemed to have dug the ancestral graves of those people.
Liu Jian said helplessly: "Three years after entering the dynasty, he has achieved nothing but achieved a high position. It all depends on His Majesty's favor and the misbehavior of some people. His ability must be If you can't keep up with his current official position and don't do well, it's normal for him to be impeached."
Li Dongyang almost wanted to ask, right?
Regardless of whether Tang Yin is capable or not, is it really because these people are impeaching Tang Yin because he is really not capable? Or...
Are these people jealous of Tang Yin?
I entered the court as an official and worked hard for many years before reaching the level of supervisory censor. This official position seemed noble, but it was just a sesame mung bean official.
How could Tang Yin reach his current status after entering the court for more than three years?
Is this fair?
If we get a slight chance, why not attack Tang Yin with more fuel and jealousy?
Liu Jiandao: "Binzhi, since even Tang Yin himself doesn't want to continue in the northwest, we should help him. Military affairs in the northwest cannot fall into this kind of unlearned and unskilled way.Human hands. "
Li Dongyang said: "Actually... alas! "
"Whatever you have, just say it. "Liu Jian noticed that Li Dongyang's attitude was not right.
Li Dongyang said helplessly: "From what I know through many people, Tang Yin is quite ambitious, and he also seeks stability in running the army. , several times he led troops deep behind enemy lines. Even though he and Zhang Zhou were from the same sect, it was Zhang Zhou who forcibly pulled him away. The two of them had a grudge, and they had almost no contact in the past few years. "
"What did you say? ”
Liu Jian looked incredible.
I am asking you to find a way to kill Zhang Zhou’s junior brother. You told me that this person is actually not close to Zhang Zhou, or even Is he still capable?
Do you want to help Tang Yin?
Li Dongyang said: "I have verified this matter in detail and there is nothing wrong. "
Liu Jian said with a straight face: "Is it because you are his teacher that you indulge him? ”
What this means is that in the general examination in the twelfth year of Hongzhi, Cheng Minzheng was not the only examiner. In fact, the examiner who really dominated everything was Li Dongyang. At that time, the two examiners, only Cheng Minzheng was involved in the controversy. It's just a case.
Li Dongyang shook his head and said: "That's not the case, I just think that this person is not hopeless yet.
Liu Jian looked slightly angry and said, "Look at what he did. Is there any of it that was done by a decent person?" After three years in the government, he was able to take charge of military affairs in the northwest. How high could his abilities be? After the First World War in the North, is he giving up? If you don’t do anything, who is to blame? ”
Speaking of this, Liu Jian’s breath was very uneven.
He was not angry that Tang Yin’s behavior was very bad, but he was angry that Li Dongyang actually jumped out to talk to him at this time. Playing devil's advocate.
Li Dongyang seemed to insist: "If you want to dismantle the power behind Zhang Bingkuan, shouldn't you find an entry point? It was Lu Quanqing before, but Lu Quanqing seems to have stopped recently, but Tang Yin..."
The implication.
I understand your desire to defeat Zhang Bingkuan, but we We also need to find the right method.
Many methods have been tried before but they didn’t work. Why don’t we try it with Tang Yin today?
Liu Jiandao: “No matter what strategy you have, At least this person cannot stay in the northwest. Is there any reason to leave military affairs to someone like him? "
"Yes. "Li Dongyang nodded and said, "You can let him step down, but it is best to call him back to the court so that he has a chance... to be used by us. "
"Do you think he..."
"Then Mr. Liu Ge, do you think it is more important for him to be a junior disciple under a Taoist priest, or is it more important for him to find a home if I recruit him? After all, this person was also a Jinshi. Many of his achievements were achieved by himself. He did not receive much help from Zhang Bingkuan. He was just from the same school. "
Li Dongyang seems to have made up his mind to make a fuss about Tang Yin.
Liu Jiandao: "Then give him his official position first, and thenFace... let’s talk about it later. ”
……
……
The fact that Tang Yin resigned and was impeached by the Northwest Advocate was quickly spread by interested people. Everyone in the government and the public knew about it.
Some people even used the capital's newspaper to spread the news...
Since Zhang Zhou set up a newspaper in the capital, it was originally controlled by the government. The simple Di newspapers published also began to enter the folk operation. Probably some people wanted to seize the right to speak from the Di newspapers. After some major events happened in the DPRK, those simple Di newspapers with only one or two sentences began to become popular in the capital. .
This time, Tang Yin's incident happened to be of concern to both the old and new factions, and it was also a battlefield for the public opinion battle.
It was also because the traditional factions had a rare opportunity to become famous. , to show that upstarts like Tang Yin are not good enough, so this news was widely spread.
Originally, there is nothing wrong with people talking about court affairs. After all, it does not involve the impact on the people in the court, but the news is. The spread also made interested people feel that... their opportunity had come.
The first person to react was Lu Wan.
Lu Wan was originally after Wang Qiong. , the person who had the best chance of becoming the trilateral leader, but Tang Yin, Cheng Yaojin, suddenly appeared, which finally made Lu Wan's plan come to nothing.
It is rare to hear that Tang Yin was depressed after his defeat. , and even resigned and returned home because of this matter.
Lu Wan instantly felt that his spring had arrived.
After all, he had Zhang Zhou, Wang Qiong, and Wang Shouren before him. These three mountains, and although he gained popularity in the Shangting Department, it is strange that the errands in the Shangting Department are rotating, unlike the cabinet ministers who are permanent, which led to his status as Minister of the Listening Department when he left office. Later, his status also plummeted.
Even Tang Yin climbed on top of him, which resulted in four mountains above him, each one higher than the other.
Now Tang Yin is unlucky. , for him, the opportunity is right in front of him
And his way of operating this matter is also very simple, that is, to find someone who can influence this matter... not Zhang Zhou, because he is. I don't think this is a good idea, so Zhang Zhou usually doesn't ask questions.
It's best to find someone who is close to him and can help him and needs his help.
The person with whom he had an exchange of interests was Liu Jin.
Liu Jin was worried about the prince's affairs. He put aside his recent errands at the Yanwu Hall and went south to suppress the bandits with the troops from the Beijing camp led by Lu Wan. , but the matter of suppressing the bandits itself is nonsense...
After hearing that the official army was going south, the bandits had begun to hide in Tibet. After marching for half a month, there were no good results, but on this day the soldiers were Ma was stationed outside the county town, and Lu Wan personally came to his camp to look for him, which made him feel like he had an opportunity.
"Eunuch Liu, to tell you the truth, I am planning to use troops in the northwest. There is a lot of research. "
Lu Wan also spoke bluntly at the wine table, "After all, I have been preparing for a long time. I originally wanted toI still have no idea why His Majesty would use Tang Bohu when he was so ambitious. "
The food and wine were sent by the local magistrate, saying that they wanted to reward the armed forces, but everyone knew that these people did not need to reward them at the moment.
Liu Jin said with a smile: "Don't say so. Mr. Lu, you don’t understand, and we don’t understand either. No matter what comparison you make, Mr. Lu is better than Tang Yin, so how can you let him go? Besides, he is not as good as you in terms of official position.
Lu Wan nodded and said: "The level of official position is secondary, but making a difference in the northwest has always been my wish since I became an official." Now I hear that he has slacked off on military and civilian affairs after his military campaign was frustrated. I am also saddened.
Liu Jin said: "Master Lu, I wonder if there is anything our family can do to help you?" "
Liu Jin is also an open-minded person.
You, Lu Wan, want my help, right? How can I help you? Also, you should tell me what benefits you can give me, right? ?
It can be said in the same way.
Lu Wan asked: "Has Eunuch Liu recently felt that many of the people going south can be of great use? "
"You mean..." Liu Jin frowned.
Lu Wandao: "If your Majesty recruits you, I would like to recommend myself as soon as possible and explain the current layout of the northwest military affairs to your Majesty. The pros and cons, I hope... can gain His Majesty's respect. "
Liu Jin frowned slightly.
He was also thinking, if you really think self-recommendation is useful, then why did you come to me? Do you want me to be in the list of your self-recommendation? , can I give you a few more kind words?
Lu Wandao: "I also hope that there can be some communication between Eunuch Liu and Duke Cai. "
Liu Jin seemed to understand instantly.
It turned out that he was just used as a bridge by Lu Wan.
"Alas! Liu Jin sighed, "Master Lu, you are also making things difficult for our family." Cai Guogong is a low-key person and rarely meets people in the court. It is useless for anyone to ask for help. We are just a middle-ranking official and cannot help you recommend him. Why don't you write a letter in person and talk to Cai Guogong about this matter?
Lu Wan lowered his head and looked at the contents in the cup and said, "I want to do this too, but I think it's too utilitarian." "
Liu Jinxin said, you are not utilitarian, why do you come to me?
"Trilateral military affairs are of great importance. Cai Guogong has never wanted to take the initiative to recommend him, but if Tang Yin is dismissed halfway To win this position, His Majesty has to choose someone, and he may have to listen to Cai Guogong. "Lu Wandao, "But if Your Majesty knows that I secretly wrote to Cai Guogong, I'm afraid..."
Liu Jin smiled and said: "I understand, it seems that Mr. Lu, you are very cautious. ”
But I was thinking in my heart, you don’t want me to communicate with you even though you have written letters with Zhang Zhou. It’s a big deal for Your Majesty to doubt you. I deserve to doubt you?
Lu Wandao: "I have specially prepared a thank you gift, and I hope Eunuch Liu will accept it. "
"What? ”
Liu Jin did not expect that she and Lu WanDuring the expedition, Lu Wan actually gave him a gift on the way?
It seems very sensible, but is it too strange to do this?
Will you prepare gifts for me before setting off? We are colleagues now. You are obviously higher than me in terms of status in the military. Why do you seem to be a head shorter than me?
Immediately, Lu Wan actually presented a gift.
"The exchange of votes at Binhai City Bank is two thousand taels of silver." Lu Wandao, "After the deed is completed, there must be a big thank you."
Liu Jin hurriedly said: "This The ceremony is too heavy and our family cannot afford it."
Lu Wan stood up and saluted respectfully: "I hope Eunuch Liu can give me more support."
"Wrong. Wrong, Mr. Lu should be the one who supports our family."
The two of them were sitting down to drink together, but now they began to compliment each other.
"Let's continue drinking." Liu Jin saw that Lu Wan's attitude was very sincere, and he was extremely proud of himself. If the imperial court doesn’t choose you, who will it choose?”
At night.
Zhu Youtang reviewed the memorial.
This is the second time since the beginning of winter that Zhu Youtang has stayed up late to review memorials, and this time it was because of some changes in the northwest.
"...Your Majesty, this is the memorial for Tang Yin's resignation." Chen Kuan presented a memorial to Zhu Youtang, "There is also a memorial for the Supervising Censor to impeach him."
Zhu Youtang took it over and looked at it, shook his head and said: "Bingkuan told me before that Tang Yin is a donkey and needs to be well disciplined, so he recruited him. It seems that he has the ability." "You know people well."
Chen Kuandao said: "Nowadays, there is a lot of talk about this matter in the capital. Some officials are also talking about it."
Zhu Youtang. Said: "Let them make trouble. I don't want to change this person unless Bingkuan says he needs to be replaced."
"But..."
Chen Kuan obviously doesn't want Tang Yin to continue. Stay in the Northwest.
The main reason is that in the military and political system, there were originally many people who were closely related to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and now the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Bingbi Eunuch Wei Bin, has a large number of adopted sons among them, but now in the northwest The leaders of the military and political affairs, Tang Yin and Wang Shouren, were not under their control.
This is tantamount to handing over power to others.
Zhu Youtang said coldly: "The purpose of choosing Tang Yin is not only his experience in leading troops, but also his vigor. Others dare not fight, but he dares to fight. Others don't want to resign, but he dares." I have resigned. There are too few people with such true temperament in the DPRK.
