Chapter 285: Death to those who stand in my way
Zhang Anshi paid his respects to the Crown Prince and then returned to the Southern Zhenfu Division.
Chen Li saw Zhang Anshi and drooped his head, Zhang Anshi took his seat and looked at him before saying, “How are things going?”
Chen Li laughed bitterly, “Your Excellency, things have gotten out of hand.”
“Made a big deal?” Zhang Anshi glanced at Chen Li again and raised an eyebrow, “How big?”
Chen Li said, “The capital’s readers, are now discussing, involved in the hundred officials …… this matter …… is obviously someone to push the waves …… ”
Zhang Anshi was not surprised by this.
Because the whole thing, the issues involved are more serious.
Although everyone did not know why the Crown Prince opened his house to supervise the country, and what His Majesty really meant.
But here’s the key thing about this …… personnel.
Yes, personnel is a crucial issue, which involves power and the right to speak.
In terms of personnel, the ministers, despite their apparent breeziness, were actually clutching at straws. For example, in the imperial court’s court-push system, the ministers often provided the emperor with three candidates, A, B, and C. The ministers would then give the emperor a list of candidates to choose from.
The emperor looks like three choices, has the right to choose. But in fact, these three people at least one person …… is the emperor will never choose, the other two, but also must have someone to accompany the list, someone is the rightful owner.
The Court Push is a public meeting of ministers above the third rank, and it is the will of the ministers that is carried out.
Once the Emperor had other ideas and broke the system, it meant that there would be a large number of ministers who were simply not on the same path as them entering the temple.
This is fatal to the entire ministerial community.
The public election of the Eastern Palace did not seem important, but Zhang Anshi’s proposal for another candidate was tantamount to setting a precedent.
Once this precedent begins, it also means that the right to nominate is lost.
And losing the right to nominate is essentially the same as losing the right to decide.
Because of this, Zhang Anshi in the East Palace of the public push meeting suddenly came so, let everyone did not expect, first the ministers are not happy, and then …… Shilin also began to make a mess.
Many readers began to pay attention to this matter, there are those who make poems, those who write articles yin and yang, and those who are directly loud and boisterous.
As for the two people on the tip of the storm, Qin Zhengxue and Yang Pu.
This Qin Zhengxue is still sitting on the fishing platform, because Zhang Anshi and Yang Pu’s opponent is not a small houseman, but the whole Ming court, is the world’s readers.
Yang Pu, however, was completely dumbfounded, and when he returned home, he immediately sued for illness so as not to cause public anger.
But even so, there were still many people who came to the door, and many of them were filled with righteous indignation, advising Yang Pu not to hang out with people like Zhang Anshi, and that a scholar should have moral integrity.
Yang Pu is a hundred mouths can not defend, he has to say that this has nothing to do with him, people also do not believe, otherwise people Zhang Anshi why do not recommend other people, have to recommend him?
Zhang Anshi and other sycophantic ministers, of course, like to form a party. Who is Zhang Anshi s party …… Who is it if not you Yang Pu?
Yang Pu is a smart person, at this time, there is no way to explain, so he did not say anything.
Instead, they are waiting patiently.
He was a patient man. Because he knew very well that it wouldn’t take long for things to become clear.
There was public outrage over this.
Public outrage means that even with the brocade guards hanging around, the readers still break into song to their faces.
The lieutenant threatened to take the man, and the other smiled, Come on, grab it!
Just hate to stuff myself with the Jinyiwei lieutenant.
If you, Jin Yi Wei, arrest someone, it would be great, and in a few moments, your name will be known.
Chen Li felt suffocated, he still held back and told the lower lieutenants not to act rashly.
Because once the arrests start, they will be unmanageable, and then instead of helping the Duke of Wei, they might even help.
This was actually the difference between a true believer and a false believer; a true believer would consider the consequences of things and make choices that were favorable to Zhang Anshi.
If it is a false believer, as soon as he sees such a good thing, he will immediately take the person, so that he can appear to be doing a good job in front of the Duke of Wei.
At this time, Chen Li’s brows were filled with worry as he said, “Your Excellency, things are very bad, even the Wen Yuan Pavilion eunuchs and the heads of the six ministries are quite vocal about this.”
Zhang Anshi, however, said, “Other people can be tolerated, but this person, Qin Zhengxue, I cannot tolerate.”
Chen Li helplessly said, “But I have checked, and this person had no bad deeds during his tenure at Hanlin and Zhanfu.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Perhaps there will be in the future?”
Chen Li: “……”
When Chen Li heard this, his heart should have been 10,000 grass mud horses running through it, isn’t this a moot point?
And Zhang Anshi heart is a bitter smile, because …… although it is a mousse, but Yongle first stolen officials, this Qin Zhengxue if you say the first, no one dares to say the second ah! After this guy was in power, almost belongs to the money don’t want to face the typical, heartless to the extreme.
If such a person, if he became a Zhanzhifu bachelor, assumed similar to the duties of the East Palace in the Wanyuange university scholar, that would be great?
And His Majesty is watching. If the East Palace can’t even handle the personnel, then what’s the point of having the East Palace, what’s the point of having you guys?
Zhang Anshi thought for a moment and said, “Is that so? This person …… doesn’t have any bad deeds?”
Chen Li very real said, “In addition to reading, there is no other evil traces, not only so, usually also with the people, the court of all the public officials, many people are very appreciated him, for example, Hu Gong …… because of the same year as him, he is also much care for him.”
Zhang Anshi narrowed his eyes and said, “You mean to say …… that this Qin Zhengxue …… is determined to win, we have to pinch our nose and recognize?”
Chen Li said in a serious manner, “If the public master does not like this person, he will think of ways to do it later. Just this time, I’m afraid I can’t stop him, the next official let the people in the guards studied …… only afraid …… really can’t stop it.”
Zhang Anshi said with a few moments of annoyance, “Public push, public push …… Isn’t this a case of people pushing whoever has someone at the top and whoever has good connections? It’s really outrageous!”
Chen Li said, “The state dynasty has its own rules ……”
Zhang Anshi at this time obviously did not have the patience to listen to these words of Chen Li, abruptly said, “What do you think of Yang Pu?”
Chen Li paused for a moment, then said, “This person, does not show the mountain, and is quite low key in his weekdays ……”
Zhang Anshi added, “Where is Qin Zhengxue from?”
“Ancestor from Jiangxi, lived in Cixi, Zhejiang.”
Zhang Anshi: “……”
Zhang Anshi said, “Call up his information, I’ll take a look.”
A few moments later, a piece of information arrived in front of Zhang Anshi.
After reading it, Zhang Anshi said, “His father had seven concubines?”
Chen Li said, “This public is known as the chief goodness of the region.”
“Another great kindness.”
Zhang Anshi shook his head, “My Daming doesn’t have much of anything, it’s that there are many good people, everyone is good.”
Said Zhang Anshi narrowed his eyes, and after looking at it carefully again, said, “Good people …… good people …… go and do a pile of things …… ”
Zhang Anshi glanced at Chen Li with ulterior motives, but said, “This is a matter for you to set up.”
He said, and gave a fine order.
Chen Li slightly opened his eyes and said, “Is there really such a spiritual ……”
Zhang Anshi patted him on the shoulder and said, “You guy, what are you thinking about, go.”
Saying that, he said to the people waiting on the outside, “Come on people, prepare a car for me, and yes, find some more guards to come.”
Zhang Anshi then, appeared outside the mansion where Yang Pu lived.
This is a small courtyard, and it is not easy to live in Nanjing, especially for a puritanical official like Yang Pu.
Zhang Anshi had someone place an obeisance.
Yang Pu personally came out to greet him.
“Greetings, Lord Wei.”
Zhang Anshi laughed and took his arm affectionately.
This made Yang Pu’s heart resist.
Zhang Anshi seemed to read his mind and said, “Mr. Yang seems to dislike me?”
Yang Pu said, “I dare not.”
This is so to say, but the heart is laughing bitterly, what is this thing ah, this Zhang party remnants, is considered to be a real.
While walking inside, Zhang Anshi said, “What are Mr. Yang’s plans at this time?”
“No plans.”
“No plans?” Zhang Anshi said, “I recommended you because I think you have talent.”
Zhang Anshi said seriously, “It is now an eventful time, and beside my brother-in-law, I need talented and loyal people to assist me, that’s why I risked universal condemnation and recommended Mr.”
Yang Pu said, “Many thanks to Duke Wei for his kind words.”
He wouldn’t even call a male master.
It’s rusty to call the Duke of Wei.
Zhang Anshi tasted a few hints since, and smiled, “You must have concerns. Afraid that people will say that you are colluding with me?”
Yang Pu was silent.
Zhang Anshi then added: “A great man in the world, only do the right thing, as for how others see, why care so much? You are in Nanking City, living in a bad place, I think life is also hard in normal days.”
Yang Pu was truthful and nodded his head, “Living in the capital city is indeed not very easy, but my humble servant is already considered to be better off than the vast majority of people in the world.”
Zhang Anshi said: “The problem is here, even you are worried about three meals a day, those who are not as good as you, what kind of life are they living. You are a scholar, you have a great future ahead of you, you don’t worry about your future. But the world’s soldiers and civilians, how can they have such luck as you?”
Yang Pu gave Zhang Anshi a very serious look and said, “Duke Wei seems to be very concerned about people’s livelihood?”
Zhang Anshi, however, said, “When you see me go out, why do you wear armor?”
“May I hear it.”
Zhang Anshi said very truthfully, “Because it is not safe. You let the people of the world have a bad time and still dare to go out in a Confucian shirt, which is an extremely dangerous thing to do.”
Yang Pu guffawed, invited Zhang Anshi to the center hall, invited Zhang Anshi to take a seat, then said, “Wei Guo Gong came here, what is the matter for?”
Zhang Anshi said, “The position of Zhanzhi’s university scholar is not Mr. This is my intention, and also my brother-in-law’s intention.”
“The Qin Sheriff is well educated and has enough seniority, the next official thought ……”
Zhang Anshi shook his head, “I see this Qin Zhengxue, but it’s nothing but dirt, if such a person presides over the Eastern Palace, it’s only harmful.”
Yang Pu was silent again.
He didn’t want to talk about people’s rights and wrongs in front of Zhang Anshi, not to mention that the topic was sensitive at this time.
And Zhang Anshi also sized up Yang Pu, the reason why he came with a thick skin was that he wanted to bet.
Bet this Yang Pu has ambition, never willing to live under the generation. Also bet that Yang Pu has the ambition to take the world as his own.
So Zhang Anshi added, “Has Mr. Scholar ever been to Qixia?”
“Been there a couple times.”
“So much for livelihood.”
“Nice.”
Zhang Anshi said, “If Qixia can be good, why can’t other states and counties in the world?”
Yang Pu said, “This is different.”
“It’s actually the same.” Zhang Anshi said, “The most important thing is, dare to do it, willing to do it with heart. Now that His Majesty ordered the crown prince to open the palace, I see …… that this is His Majesty’s intention to want to weigh the crown prince, it seems …… that it is time to take a bold step. East Palace side, need a can cloak the thorns, willing to work with heart, and act old, will not make mistakes.”
“Why have you chosen the Corporal?”
Zhang Anshi, however, laughed and said, “Do you believe me when I say I know the art of reading people?”
Yang Pu also revealed a smile.
Zhang Anshi said, “If mister only cares about his own reputation and is afraid of what others will say, then I have nothing to say. But if mister really wants to do something, I do hope, mister can fight for it.”
Zhang Anshi then, pulled out a charter from his sleeve, said, “This is what I want to do in Taipingfu, just …… my talent is after all limited, some places, must not consider thoughtful, Mr. You can look at.”
With that, Zhang Anshi rested the charter on the coffee table.
Yang Pu did not read this charter, only nodded his head and said, “The next official will read it when he has time.”
Zhang Anshi’s errand for this trip was considered done, so he stood up and said, “I’ll take my leave then, if there’s a chance, we can still have a good chat.”
Yang Pu was then busy getting up to see him off.
Until Zhang Anshi left, Yang Pu returned to the hall, but Mrs. Yang came out from a side ear room.
Mrs. Yang worriedly said, “Husband, this Wei Guo Gong …….”
“Hey ……,” Yang Pu shook his head, “This is not hitting the south wall and not turning back.”
Mrs. Yang said, “I heard people outside say that the husband is in collusion with the Duke …… of Wei, and many people do not have good words in their mouths, and some of the husband’s fellow students and students, as well as fellow townspeople, said that this matter is pounding their chests and feet. Husband, do people …… talk about the long term, not a momentary advantage or disadvantage ah, Husband must be careful.”
Yang Pu slowly closed his eyes and said, “I am a horse washer, and I do not show myself, what virtue can I have to be valued like this! Don’t worry, I know in my heart, of course I will care about my innocence.”
Saying that, he dropped down, picked up the charter left by Zhang Anshi, opened it, and went through it carefully.
At a glance, Yang Pu couldn’t help shaking his head, “Too hasty, too hasty.”
He continued to look on, but made no more noise.
The more he looked at it, the more the whole thing seemed to be lost in thought.
Mrs. Yang looked curiously and couldn’t help but ask, “What is this?”
Yang Pu was oblivious.
Mrs. Yang had to call out again, “Husband ……”
Yang Pu squarely looked up blankly and glanced at Mrs. Yang.
“Husband this is ……”
Yang Pu said, “This charter …… is too hasty.”
“The people of the factory guards, it is already not easy to write a charter, how can it be dripping with water? Husband …… also do not laugh at him.”
Yang Pu, however, said, “But ……”
His words didn’t continue, and his face looked extremely complicated.
Mrs. Yang looked at this strange reaction of Yang Pu, so she said with concern: “What is wrong with husband?”
“Nothing, nothing.” Yang Pu shook his head and forced a smile, “It’s just ridiculous.”
Deep Night.
Mrs. Yang was already asleep, but Yang Pu picked up the oil lamp and shuffled his shoes and clothes.
He couldn’t sleep, held up the lamp, and took the charter, and went through it.
He murmured, as if in meditation, and after falling into deep thought, but he took pen and ink and began to make deletions and corrections in this charter.
It wasn’t until the rooster crowed that he seemed to be awakened.
When he realized he hadn’t slept all night, he smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Mrs. Yang, however, had already woken up, and came down with her clothes on, looking angrily at Yang Pu: “What’s going on here? Husband, you won’t really be like what the outside world said, you want to help the tiger, right?”
Yang Pu busily said, “No, there is no such thing, I and the Duke of Wei, not all the way.”
He was busy putting away the charter.
There was just something about the words he spoke that was not confident.
Mrs. Yang obviously also do not feel at ease, then said: “Husband, not that I say you, traditionally climbed the Duke of Wei such a powerful minister of the people, and there are a few will have a good end it? Readers have readers of the road, you are now Qingliu, noble, as long as the simmering seniority, and so after a few years …… will be able to rise in the water, my father explained, the readers into the dynasty, young people should be guarded to raise the hope of the future, the future, can not be limited.”
Yang Pu said, “I naturally know, just ……”
Said here, Yang Pu then paused, he was silent for a moment, before he said again, “It’s just an itchy hand, just want to change it, hey ……”
…………
Cixi.
A group of merchants arrived here, but were stopped by the police.
Under interrogation, but found that this is from the capital of the drug dealer, this drug dealer obediently to send silver.
The silver had just been sent out, and the leading officer’s face immediately changed as he revealed a look of greed.
In fact, these officers, the most know how to read the words, if there is a background of merchants and businessmen, will not begin to plug the silver, but directly out of a post out, we have read it, will not dare to make things difficult.
And generally immediately shelling out money and sending silver often indicates that the other party has no background and is weak-minded.
The leader of the capital, however, took an iron ruler and opened the merchant’s silver, cursing, “Who wants your money.”
The other party gave quite a lot of silver, is a full dozens of silver dollars.
If the other party gives a few silver dollars, it is just, but give so much at once, immediately let this capital head realize that this batch of goods …… is worth a lot of money.
He licked his lips and said, “What kind of business do you have?”
“I am a medicine dealer.”
“Medicine, what medicine?”
“Geranium oil.”
It’s all head in the clouds.
“That’s ……” The merchant’s voice was getting lower and lower.
“There is such a divine medicine?”
“The little one is an ancestral recipe for children.”
The Capitol and a couple of officers looked at each other, “Search it.”
A few of the errand boys understood, and began to search at once.
A few moments later, a knife was revealed inside, and the head of the capital said angrily, “What’s this?”
The merchant panicked: “Villain, villain, Your Honor, is this not a joke?”
“Men, take him down, and …… surrender this cargo.”
…………
Cixi Qin family.
A cloud-walking Taoist to the Qin residence.
These days, this Qin Taigong often had headache attacks, so he invited this Taoist to see the doctor.
The Taoist was quite a healer and told him that it was high blood pressure.
High blood pressure, which is unheard of in the Duke of Qin, he these days, mental exhaustion, occasional headaches, invited many doctors to come, but also just perfunctory, open some medicine, but the effect of the medicine is general.
This Taoist said, “In some days, the poor Taoist will practice some medicine to come.”
With that, he excused himself.
Qin Taigong sulked, at this time, a servant came to say, “Master, master …… county Liu county minister, sent some good things, said it is a treasure.”
Mrs. Qin said, “What treasure?”
“It is said …… that the man went to the Qin Taigong and whispered something.
Duke Qin revealed a meaningful look, “Is it really miraculous?”
These days, he was so mentally exhausted that he just couldn’t lift his spirits, not to mention his age.
Just …… this also does make him have some pain, because the family so many rooms of concubines, the smallest one, but only seventeen years old, this is still the year before the Na, now …… energy is not good, to see this begonia general women, really not willing.
“I have heard that this medicine, which also cures headaches …… can lift the spirit.”
“Is that so?” Duke Qin came to have a few moments of interest, “Go and thank County Minister Liu, and in a few days, when I go to the county, I will treat him to a drink.”
“Liu county minister attentive, heard …… young master in the capital, about to be ……”
Thinking of his own son, Duke Qin could not help but feel a bit pleased with himself as he leisurely said, “Well, don’t publicize it now.”
“Yes.”
That night, Qin Taigong was really refreshed.
A pear tree pressed the begonia, since it is fast and furious.
By the latter part of the night, Qin Taigong was still as good as a wolf.
I seemed to have held it in for the past two years, so I couldn’t help but indulge in it with abandon for the better part of a year.
It was the latter part of the night before he fell asleep, exhausted, holding Kaito in his arms.
Early the next morning there was a call at the door.
Inside, however, there was no sound.
After the burning of an incense stick, the entire Qin family was in chaos as if they had lost their lives.
…………
A seal of zhengzhi was sent to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di after reading, looked up at also lost ha said: “the East Palace of the university scholar, has not yet public push out?”
Also lost ha said:” the dispute, the Duke of Wei refused to give way, the Crown Prince …… also seems to belong to Yang Pu, just ……”
Zhu said, “Just what?”
“Outside made too much noise, at first everyone’s spearhead is still pointing at the Duke of Wei, but now …… there is already a spearhead pointing at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, your majesty …… the slave servant thought that it is still better to put the matter to rest … …If not ……”
Zhu Di’s face is iron blue: “I am letting him build teeth, not letting him be a person’s daughter-in-law, hall prince, but also subject to popularity is not it?”
Yishakha was too frightened to utter a single breath.
Zhu Di said, “If even this can not be properly disposed of, then …… other things, how to do it?”
Also Lostha said, “Yes, what Your Majesty has said is excellent.”
Zhu Di said: “I have great expectations of the crown prince, the last time to reprimand him, because of his bad language, do things well, on the dry run, scolding what is the use? Decree to the crown prince, teach him to take some ideas quickly.”
“The slave girl obeys the order.” Yiluoha sweated.
This matter …… is very troublesome, and he actually wants to tell His Majesty that it has already made a big mess, and the crown prince s continued forced confrontation with the ministers will only make the crown prince s reputation be destroyed.
But Yizhiha did not dare to say anything more, he knew that if His Majesty was like this, then there must be His Majesty’s reasoning.
On the following day, Crown Prince Zhu Gaoqi held another public election.
This time around, it’s clear that many of them dug in their heels.
Qin Zhengxue arrived at Zhanzhi Mansion with his ministers in high spirits and saluted Zhu Gaoqi.
Then he saw that Zhang Anshi was still sitting there, and Zhang Anshi was sitting at the bottom of Zhu Gaoqi’s head, with a calm and relaxed look.
Qin Zhengxue heart sneer, this Wei Guo Gong, or too tender, do not know the sky and the earth, really think that rely on the strong, can be subdued others, know that some times, is to press the matter to come.
