Chapter 210 Who will stop him

The third update is over ~

———

After the quiet of Min and Liu, the flower hall in Liu's mansion became cold and silent.

Today everyone came here to comfort Liu Daxia, which is secondary. The most important thing is actually how to deal with the current situation. Seeing that no one spoke, Xie Qian had to say again: "You are all pillars of the court. At this time of storm, you should do more work. Let's discuss and discuss the regulations."

Although Xie Qian made two suggestions, everyone present pondered and refused to speak.

It’s not that everyone suddenly realized the benefits of Xie Hong and wanted to reconcile, or there was no way. Those who could appear here were old bureaucrats who were in the officialdom and had a lot of experience. If they followed the way in the officialdom, everyone could come up with dozens of ways to deal with Xie Hong.

But after careful consideration, they found that Xie Hong was completely different from the opponents they met in the past. Although this young man acted a little messy, it was just this style of behavior that made people unable to deal with it. As the saying goes, killing the master's tutor to death by random punches is probably the case now.

If the other party doesn’t follow the official routines with you, no matter how many tricks are, it won’t work!

The impeachment of censors was the most used trick in the court struggle, but what was the result? All the censors of Kedao went into battle, but were harshly made. After almost two months of the incident, Lord Zhang, the commander of Zuodu, still couldn't cheer up. Although he is here now, his eyes are very empty.

There were quite a lot of impeachments after that day. The censors were all powerful. The impeachment memorial was written in a scattered way, but the emperor just refused to accept it. So what can I do if I impeachment?

The Qing Dynasty of the Shilin Qing Dynasty was also a powerful tool used by the dynasty, and it was a good move. In ordinary times, even if the censors did not appear, as long as the public opinion between the court and the opposition was together, those who became targets would definitely be in vain.

Of course, this trick is useless. Xie Hong is not a scholar at all. His highest fame is just a scholar, and he has nothing to do with Shilin and other things. Moreover, although he is young, he has a good heart and a thick-skinned face. Even if he is criticized by thousands of people, he is still as unmoved.

It is the most convenient to directly use power to convict. Everyone knows that using power to kill people is both convenient and fast. Together, the twelve people here have used this trick, so of course I wouldn’t have imagined it.

But no matter how powerful they have, even if they are greater than the emperor, they are all powers of unspoken rules, and they can only be said in secret. If there is a relatively obvious power, there is naturally a greater moral virtue. Isn’t the Ministry of War fallen into power today? Xie Hong smashed a bunch of imperial edicts.

There are also people who can suppress Zhengde people on this, but Empress Dowager Zhang has a calm personality. She is not a major event that can shake the foundation of the country. I am afraid that she will not be able to invite this empress.

Xie Hong's move is not difficult to deal with. As long as the court discusses the court continues to restrict the emperor's imperial edict on this ground, but now it is impossible to use this matter to find the Empress Dowager. Without the Empress Dowager's imperial edict, who can overwhelm Zhengde in open power?

After thinking about it over and over again, there was no suitable method, so everyone dared not speak rashly. Xie Hong was a lunatic, a hedgehog. If he hit him, he would be counterattacked if he could not achieve success in one fell swoop. Moreover, the counterattack method was messy and unreasonable, but it was very sharp...

For example, the poor Shangshu Liu's reputation was destroyed throughout his life, and Shi Wenyi and Sun Song were even more mentally and physically damaged. Everyone had a clear judgment in their hearts: it would be better not to face Xie Hong if they were not sure.

Normal methods are definitely not possible, and the crux of the problem lies in the relationship between Zhengde and Xie Hong: if you want to deal with Xie Hong, you have to make Zhengde bow down; but with Xie Hong's assistance, Zhengde's attitude is very tough.

In this way, things will be difficult to handle...

There was no way out. Liu Daxia, the first one to be unable to calm down. The last dynasty meeting and today's affairs stimulated the Minister of War. Seeing that no one responded, he slapped the table and said angrily: "I am stupid and treacherous. If the three cabinet masters agree, I am willing to be a front pawn and wait for the order!"

He did not say it clearly, but everyone here understood his meaning. Not only did they understand it, but everyone also thought of this section. But this sentence cannot be said explicitly. Only Liu Daxia, who claims to be reckless, dared to point it out, because if he said it, it was not far from being rebellious.

This is the most straightforward way: promote the army and clear the emperor's side! Force the troops to force the palace!

The army is a weapon of the military and nationality and cannot be easily mobilized. Although the capital camp is in the hands of civil officials, if it is transferred without obtaining the imperial edict, no matter who he is, a crime of ill-conspiracy cannot be escaped.

Therefore, despite the headache of Xie Hong, no one had proposed to mobilize the Beijing camp and encircle the Nanzhen Fushi. The reason was very simple. Zhengde would not agree, and the emperor would not agree, and the unauthorized dispatch of troops was to rebel.

There are exceptions, such as the change in the Jingtai period! No one has ever used the method of forcing the emperor to bow his head. The principle of power from the gun was also not invented by later generations. Looking at the thousands of years of history of China, this principle is reflected everywhere, and the cabinet and the Nine Ministers of the Ming Dynasty naturally understand the truth.

However, if you really want to launch an action to clear the king's side, the aftermath will be troublesome. Either you wait for the emperor to take revenge afterwards; or you can change the emperor, and there are only these two ways to go.

Of course, the emperor would not kill anyone when he revenge. He usually took the lead in dealing with it. Therefore, Liu Daxia only looked reckless, but in fact he was meticulous. He made a suggestion, but only said that he could use his power before the horse, and let the three great masters take the lead. Of course, he was not the one who was unlucky afterwards, but he had the plan to do it as he wished.

"I am still young now, and it is normal to be impetuous and jumpy. How can I talk about being stupid? Liu Shangshu has made a mistake, so don't mention this again!" No one is stupid, and the chief assistant Liu Jian is even more intelligent. How could he accept Liu Daxia's words and make such a move?

The rest of the people were also sneering, smiling at Liu Daxia's instigation too superficial; then laughing at Liu Grand Secretary Liu's hypocrisy. At this time, he remembered that the emperor was young, but when he taught, he asked for it so strictly and his attitude was so strict. Do you think others didn't know about it?

Everyone was sneering, so no one noticed that Zeng Jian, who had always had a dull expression, also sneered and smiled meaningfully.

In fact, taking the lead in the action of clearing the lord is not all bad, because after clearing the lord, you can also change someone to sit on the dragon throne, so that you can achieve great achievements in supporting the people. That is equivalent to the contribution of the lord, and it is the most prominent! Isn’t the change in the lord that year?

If there is a choice, will Liu Jian refuse? If there is such a risk, will Zeng Jian not remind Xie Hong?

No, of course not.

Although the support is good and great, the difficulty is even greater. The biggest thing is the question of candidates. Zhengde's origin is very different among all emperors because he is the only son.

In ancient times, there was no family planning, so it was even more impossible for the imperial family. Among them, Liu Sheng, the King of Jing of Zhongshan of the Han Dynasty, was the ancestor of Liu Bei. It is said that this man had more than a hundred sons... But Hongzhi was an alien. He only had Empress Zhang, a wife, and Zhengde, a son.

Therefore, the court officials had to feel depressed and hated that they were born at the wrong time. If Hongzhi changed to the King Jing of Zhongshan and caught up with the situation today, it would be much easier.

Of course, the emperor has no brothers, and it doesn’t mean there is no solution. Zhengde has no brothers, but Hongzhi has it, and he can even trace it back further. There are fewer other people in the world, but there are many royal families everywhere. Isn’t it a matter of choosing one from it?

But in this way, the second major issue is involved, that is, the civil servants are not monolithic.

Min Gui and Liu Daxia were not dealt with, in addition to their personality problems, they were also because the Ministry of War and Ministry of Justice had similar status. During the Yongle period, the Grand Secretary was originally just a fifth-rank official, equivalent to the emperor's document. During the Hongwu period, the Prime Minister was abolished, so he became the six ministers and nine ministers, which was the peak of civil officials.

However, after Tumu Fort, the power of the nobles and military generals was greatly damaged. Civil officials took the opportunity to take office. The Grand Secretary gradually became an unknown prime minister. During the Hongzhi period, the Chief Grand Secretary, that is, the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace, was already worthy of his name and above ten thousand people, so he was called the Chief Supervisor.

As a result, the six ministries and nine ministers also had channels for promotion. The promotion in the officialdom has always been a priority, and everything has to be done step by step, even if it is a senior official who has no title, such as: it requires a Hanlin origin, a Jinshi and a Jinshi, etc.

Although the six ministries are one, they are divided into high and low levels. The Ministry of Rites is the highest nominal, and the Ministry of Personnel is the essential leader, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Revenue are almost the same. The Ministry of Revenue has a slightly higher status due to its rich oil and water, while the Ministry of Works has nothing but oil and water, and is ranked last.

If you want to become a Grand Secretary, you have to go to the position of Minister of Rites, and your most direct competitor is someone with a similar status as you. Therefore, Liu Daxia, Min Gui, Han Wen and Zhang Sheng are not very close to each other.

In addition, in addition to direct competitors, there are people who occupy positions or potential... Extended, it can be said that once you enter the court, your opponents will be everywhere.

Under such circumstances, if we deal with the emperor or close ministers of the emperor, everyone can barely work together, but if we support such a big event, these people will be divided immediately. Even the credit for killing Xie Hong can be used by Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, to steal it privately, let alone supporting such a great achievement of Qingtian?

If Zhengde has brothers and has not left the capital, it would be easy. Since everyone can reach the consensus that Zhengde is stupid, there is no choice but to support that prince.

But since there is not, it will be troublesome. There are many vassal kings and too many. If everyone here tells the candidates in their hearts, it is unlikely that there will be more than five choices.

Mr. Li’s ancestral home is Huguang, so he has a relatively close relationship with the Xingxian lineage. Of course, the Ming Dynasty prohibited court officials from making friends with vassal kings in private, and no one could see them. Mr. Li naturally would not violate the ban, and no one dared to say it.

Grand Secretary Liu likes antiques more, but his hobby is more expensive. King Ning is said to be very rich and cognitive, so...

Grand Secretary Xie and King Dai, the Secretary of the House and...

In short, each has its own preferences and is different. Without a natural status, even if King Ning is blooming everywhere and giving gifts everywhere, he cannot make most court officials like him. When everyone talks about supporting him, they will naturally not have a unified opinion.

These relationships are complicated and difficult to explain. However, Zeng Jian had a clear idea of ​​them after observing silently in the court for decades and also analyzed them to Xie Hong, who also made a decision based on this.

As long as he doesn't do too much, the disputes between these court officials will not be eliminated, and he will be able to take things from it. As for the arrogance of Dashi Wenyi and Sun Song, it was also deliberately made by Xie Hong. He just wanted to make others afraid, so that before someone wanted to plot against him, he would have to think about it carefully.

Up to now, his move was successful. At least Liu Daxia was scared by him today and did not dare to appear at the last moment. In fact, if he really showed up, Xie Hong would not dare to hit him. This old man is seventy years old. If he is beaten to death, he would die as a Shangshu! Even if he is not beaten to death, it would not work. How could the Shangshu in the current dynasty be beaten casually?

He has never been a high-ranking official, and has also seen a high-ranking official run away. Xie Hong understands what the six ministers mean. If the *** in later generations went out of the capital and wandered around, beating a county magistrate is not a big deal; beating a mayor can still be smoothed out; but if he beats a provincial party committee standing committee or something like that, or simply bigger, he can't stand it even if he is a ***.

Such heavyweight officials can only be used by wisdom. If they really take action, Zhengde Lixing may be useless, and Empress Dowager Zhang must have come forward.

Xie Hong's madness was pretending to be, which scared many people, but he was very sober. He relied on Zeng Jian's analysis and knew that in the current situation, as long as he was not too far-reaching and approaching the other party's bottom line, the civil servant would not bet on his own.

Zeng Jian’s analysis is correct, and Xie Hong’s countermeasures are even more effective.

After Grand Secretary Liu made his statement, Han Wen from the Ministry of Revenue also pondered and said: "This matter has been discussed a few days ago, and it's only more than a month ago. That method is a little slower to take effect. I think there is some savings in the palace, but it seems that there is no need to make trouble, right?"

These days, Shangshu Han has a glory and a headache, but he is quite content with his proposal that day. He also feels that Liu Daxia is really worthy of losing face.

Although everyone did not understand the principle of boiling frogs in warm water, Han Wen agreed with the proposal. Slowly tightening the lasso, and finally forcing Zhengde to desperate situations is better than just making a fuss now. Zhengde becomes a strong man, and Xie Hong is a hedgehog, so why bother with them?

Liu Daxia was dissatisfied. Wasn’t he the one who was talking about in a slight way? The old man sneered: “It’s good that Han Shangshu has confidence, but things may not go so smoothly. Although the headquarters was frustrated today, he also made some discoveries. Maybe Han Shangshu, your method..."

"Oh?" Han Wen looked at Liu Daxia in shock. Although the others did not speak out, they all looked at him.

When Liu Daxia saw everyone shocked, he was a little proud and was about to speak as soon as he brushed his long beard.

"Okay, don't have to have a verbal dispute. Han Shangshu's proposal a few days ago makes sense. If you have any controversy, let's talk about it at the court meeting. Let's disperse today." Everyone was stunned and looked at each other, but saw that Li Dongyang was talking before Liu Daxia.

Although his words were abrupt and everyone was worried, among them, Liu Jian was the only one above Li Dongyang. Liu Jian closed his eyes and said nothing at this time. Everyone was speechless and stood up to say goodbye and left.

Liu Daxia was unwilling to accept it, but he saw Li Dongyang losing a wink. Although Liu Daxia was still a little dissatisfied with Liu Jian, he admired Li Dongyang very much. He knew that Li Dongyang must have some reasons for this move, so he did not raise any objection.
