Jinyi champion

Chen Jiuchou is an important pawn placed by Yang Tinghe's faction in the northwest.

Previously, being the governor of Xuanda was not going well, it was because Xuanda had continuous wars on the ground.

Later, Chen Jiuchou was replaced by Tang Yin. The emperor did not say that he would dismiss Chen Jiuchou, nor did he say that he would arrange other errands for him, which means that...he was temporarily forgotten by the court.

Naturally, Yang Tinghe's faction would not assign him to other errands, and the Ministry of Officials did not dispatch him, just to let him reap the fruits of victory after the Northwest War ended.

His official career was not going well before, so he can't fight.

Now that the war is over, you will always be able to be the governor of Xuanda, purge the officialdom of Xuanda, and get rid of people from factions such as Lu Wan, Wang Qiong, and Jiang Bin, right?
The governor of Datong was vacant, so Chen Jiuchou was asked to temporarily act as the governor of Datong. After all, Chen Jiuchou brought the entire team of Datong from the three sides, and it happened to be able to operate in Datong.

If it hadn't been for Zhu Si's proposal that day, Chen Jiuchou would continue to perform the duties of governor of Datong with his non-existent official position.

It is equivalent to the double yamen system. The strange scene that appeared after the new emperor fought with the civil official faction can be understood as Chen Jiuchou is the governor of Xuanda arranged by the civil official, and the government is still in Datong, while Tang Yin is appointed by the new emperor. Governor Xuanda, the government is located in Xuanfu.

Originally, the emperor didn't mention it, but the Ministry of War took back the position of Governor Xuanda and let Chen Jiuchou take the post directly.

But now being questioned by the emperor on the spot, so...

All the officials understood one thing, that is, Chen Jiuchou did not move his nest at all. He was a good official in Datong, and Xuanda still listened to him in many matters. After all, there were many generals from three sides in the Xuanda system. How could the crowd completely obey Tang Yin's orders?

Without Chen Jiuchou's permission, it is estimated that Tang Yin's decree would be difficult to implement around Datong and Piantouguan.

Some people understand immediately.

No wonder he has been refusing to give Tang Yin the title of Right Minister of the Household Department or other ministers. If he had given it, his official position would have surpassed Chen Jiuchou's original position as governor of Shaanxi. Now, if you don't give it, then Chen Jiuchou and the team he brought to Xuanda will not have to listen to Tang Yin.

Zhu Si sneered unceasingly: "So, if Tang Qing's family wants to return to the court now, you make it clear that Chen Jiuchou will be in charge of the military affairs of Xuanda, Piantou and other places, and you will not choose him... The so-called court push is just a show for me. Check it out, right?"

The question is acute.

It sounds very ugly, a group of ministers united to fool the emperor, how can they still play like this?
It's hard to hear, but it makes sense.

"Then I will not give him this position."

Zhu Si seemed like a stubborn child, so he put down his harsh words on the spot.

Peng Ze hastily added: "Your Majesty, now that the Xuanda army has calmed down, the construction of the Northwest Pass is also for the sake of laboring the army and reassuring the people. Only Chen Jiuchou is the most suitable for this job."

"Peng Qing's family, before Zang Feng was dismissed from the position of governor of Xuanda, before he returned to Beijing, when you recommended Chen Jiuchou to me, you seemed to say the same thing, right? But what happened afterwards?" Zhu Si said coldly.

"This……"

Peng Ze didn't know how to answer.

Lin Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, said firmly: "Your Majesty, it is nothing more than Tang Yin's military achievements in the three passes, but Chen Jiuchou did not make any mistakes in the Northwest. It is only an expedient measure for Tang Yin to take charge of his military affairs. Now the Tatar People have retreated, and it is right to set things right and return to their original state.”

"Haha, Lin Shangshu, in your opinion, it is not wrong to let thousands of Tatar cavalry pass through the Daming Pass unimpeded, right? That is to say, next time the Tatars come again, as long as the Tatars do not kill them Enter the inner three passes, and gallop casually on the ground of Xuanda? Is this what you mean?"

Zhu Si confronted each other.

Lin Jun was speechless for a while.

Qiao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Tatars plundered in our pass because of the fall of Baiyangkou, but the fall of Baiyangkou did not happen when Chen Jiuchou was in charge of Xuanda's military affairs. Therefore, It’s not his fault. He can guarantee that Xuanda’s pass and fortresses will not be lost, and it is already a credit.”

Zhu Sidao: "Don't talk about this with me!
Let me ask you, if Tang Yin didn't have the great victories in Nei San Pass, would the Xuan Mansion be able to survive now?Have the Tatars already reached the capital? "

Qiao Yu still refused to let go: "Your Majesty, this is a hypothesis, and it is not valid. The Xuanfu only said that there were Tatars invading the country, and did not report danger."

Once there is an argument between the monarch and his ministers, the problem will be endless.

This time, things are different from before.

In the past, it was mostly just a few officials who spoke there, and there was no reason to argue.

But now regarding who should be the governor of Xuan Da, the emperor is fighting with several ministers. It seems that this position is relatively high. Even if ordinary speech officials have ideas in their minds, they will not make a sound when they see this posture and concentrate on watching. play.

"I won't lie to you. Xuanda is a first-class place. There is no need for two general administrations. Immediately order the Northwest to let Chen Jiuchou return to Beijing to report on his duties. There are other arrangements."

Zhu Si's attitude was arrogant and he ordered directly.

Qiao Yu persuaded: "Your Majesty, this is a matter for the Ministry of Officials, please take it back."

It means that even if you are the emperor, you still have to listen to our official department, and you should not meddle in things that our official department did not report.

Zhu Sidao: "Didn't you understand what I said? It means that Chen Jiuchou will not return to Beijing, but will continue to stay in Datong, and continue to be his Xuanda general? Where will Tang Yin be placed? Have you considered the idea of ​​​​the soldiers in the Northwest? ? I don’t care about anything else, if he doesn’t come back, I will ask Jin Yiwei to bring him back!”

It's getting tough again.

In the eyes of Wenchen, the little emperor is simply unreasonable.

Many people turned to Yang Tinghe for help.

But Yang Tinghe didn't say a word, let alone him, even the other four cabinet ministers looked on coldly, as if this matter had nothing to do with the cabinet.

The obvious thing, no matter how right your civil servants think, Chen Jiuchou's stay in Datong is indeed unfair. The emperor transferred a resigned Xuanda governor back to the capital. Is this the emperor's misconduct?If you feel that Tang Yin is not suitable to be the governor of Xuanda, you should have opposed it to the end when Tang Yin was appointed, instead of agreeing, but at the same time installing Chen Jiuchou in Datong to blackmail Tang Yin.

One Xuanda, two general yamen, isn't this nonsense?
……

……

This court meeting broke up in the end.

When the ministers left the palace, they were filled with righteous indignation, clamoring that the emperor would harm the Northwest.

But on the way out of the palace, those who were supposed to ask Yang Tinghe for advice, such as Qiao Yu and Lin Jun who were fighting fiercely with Zhu Si in the court hall, were all silent at this moment.

It's nothing else, just because they also felt that it wasn't the emperor who was messing around, but these self-proclaimed upright civil servants, under the banner of justice, wanted the emperor to compromise on an uncompromising issue...Xuan Da How shameless is it to set up two general yamen, if you feel that you are justified?
What is being argued in the court, what is said in the mouth, and what is in the heart now are two different things.

Cabinet value.

Yang Tinghe, who came to the desk, sat down, and without accident, Jiang Mian sat across from him.

"Your Majesty is firm. Tomorrow is the last chance. If we can't reach an agreement, or His Majesty really wants to use the brocade guards to win people." Jiang Mian reminded.

Yang Tinghe said: "Your Majesty is threatening us civil servants with imperial edicts."

Previously, the emperor used Jin Yiwei to take the many scribes who jointly signed the performance, and he may have enjoyed the sweetness, so now that he can't agree on everything, he directly threatened Jin Yiwei to get people. If he was an ordinary minister, he would definitely be very worried about this.

Everyone knows where the Imperial Prison is.

But Yang Tinghe is not afraid.

Your little emperor follows the rules, that's what worries me, Yang, I'm not afraid of you playing hard, but I'm afraid of you playing dirty.

In the past, I, Mr. Yang, suffered from all negative losses, and none of them were obtained by you, the emperor, with arbitrariness.

The more arrogant you are, the more public opinion will doubt your legitimacy in power. On the issue of justice, I, Yang, can stand on the moral high ground and criticize you, and the civil servants will share the same hatred with me... It is you who make the civil servants feel scared

Once they are afraid, they need to find someone to support them. It is you who help me re-twist the civil servants into a single rope.

……

……

Just when Yang Tinghe thought that Zhu Si had lost ground and would only scare people with imperial edicts, and he had taken the absolute initiative in this matter, that afternoon, a copy of Tang Yin's autograph written by Xuanfu made Yang Tinghe feel that the problem was not simple.

Tang Yin resigns.

When Liu Chun handed over the memorial to Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe also opened Tang Yin's memorial after careful verification from Liu Chun. It was indeed Tang Yin's request for an official post... It was said that he was old and frail, and he was not an official. Experience, I can't do what I want in the Northwest, I just want to go back to my hometown to recuperate...

Jiang Mian leaned forward and asked, "Is this...retreating to advance?"

Even Jiang Mian felt that Tang Yin used this method to put pressure on the imperial court, making the courtiers understand the danger of keeping Chen Jiuchou in the northwest, and preventing a genuine Governor Xuanda from implementing administrative orders. The result of military and political chaos in the northwest is Give the Tatars of the coming year a chance.

But Yang Tinghe's thinking was very sharp, and he immediately felt that Tang Yin did not advance by retreating at all.

It is very likely that Tang Yin really didn't want to do it anymore.

It's because no one wants to get involved in the struggle between the emperor and the civil officials. Even Tang Yin is just an ordinary literati, isn't he afraid of losing his reputation?
Liu Chun asked: "If you come to the court in the future, what will your majesty...will do? Please resign, and your majesty will definitely not agree."

Yang Tinghe stared ahead and shook his head.

Jiang Mian asked, "What did Jie Fu think of?"

Yang Tinghe sighed slightly, and said, "Whether it is allowed or not, it all depends on who will take over the general Xuanda military affairs."

"what for?"

Liu Chun had just entered the cabinet, so he couldn't understand such a complicated matter at all.

Jiang Mian was stunned.

Fei Hong approached and said: "This means, it should be said that if Tang Yin's successor is someone His Majesty likes, then His Majesty will allow Tang Yin's resignation? Is this the reason?"

"Ha ha."

Jiang Mian smiled wryly.

The mode of exchanging interests between monarch and ministers has become so public because of Tang Yin's resignation.

You can say it directly.

That's a deal.
