Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 847 Conferring King, Liao King Zhang Haogu

Hello old boy!
You even want to be the chief assistant of the cabinet!

This was Wen Tiren's first thought when he heard Qian Qianyi's words.

Now that you, Qian Qianyi, are all cabinet bachelors, you still want to do more. Isn't that aiming at the positions of the first and second assistants of the cabinet?

The second assistant now belongs to Sun Chengzong. Sun Chengzong has been in Liaodong for many years. The rich old man was replaced.

As for the position of the chief assistant of the cabinet, after so many years of operation by Zhang Haogu, the current chief assistant of the cabinet has completely got rid of the original nature of the emperor's private secretary. On the other hand, he has the position of prime minister with real power.

It can be said that whoever sits in the position of chief assistant has the possibility to control the court, even the emperor can be the best.

Qian Qianyi's claim that he is not greedy for this position is a lie, but he is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and he is the pinnacle of civil servants!

Ever since Emperor Taizu abolished the system of prime ministers and Cheng Zu established the cabinet, the chief assistant of the cabinet represented the limit of civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. Who wouldn't be interested in the position of an extremely talented minister?
Not to mention that Qian Qianyi was interested, he, Wen Tiren, was also interested.

But now Wen Tiren has just been promoted by Chongzhen to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing by taking the opportunity of the new king's ascension to the throne. If he wants to go further to Beizhili to serve as the Shangshu of the Six Departments, he is still not a little bit short.

Today, there are six ministers in Beizhili, and the official department is a heavenly official, the head of the six departments. This is the private land for the head and assistant of the cabinet.

The Minister of Rites is a springboard to enter the cabinet. The position of the Ministry of Rites is equally important. Usually, it is a part-time cabinet bachelor, just like Zhang Ruitu's current situation.

Zhang Ruitu was the second assistant of the cabinet and the minister of rites before.

As for the Household Department, this was the private land of the former New Party and now the Datong Party. Lu Xiangsheng has been a cabinet student and Minister of the Household Department for so many years, and his position is very stable. After all, the Household Department was presided over by Zhang Haogu at the beginning.

The Ministry of Industry is also under the control of the Datong Party, and now only the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War can be seen, but the Minister of the Ministry of War is now equivalent to a half-empty shelf. Regardless of the transfer order of the Ministry of War, without the seal of the cabinet, the emperor's order, and the documents of the Ministry of War, it is impossible to mobilize troops and horses.

Faced with this situation, Wen Tiren's words that he was not in a hurry were all lies. He also wanted to enter the cabinet as soon as possible, but how could he enter the cabinet in this situation?

In the cabinet, Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng are staunch members of the Datong Party, Huang Liji and Qiao Yunsheng are good gentlemen, although Qian Qianyi and Sun Chengzong are both old parties, but at present Sun Chengzong is more cooperative with Zhang Haogu, which makes Qian Qianyi fundamentally No hope in sight.

If it wasn't like this, Qian Qianyi wouldn't come here to imply Wen Tiren. Who doesn't know that the Datong Party is powerful now, and who doesn't know that the Datong Party is the real ruler of Ming Dynasty?

But Qian Qianyi's label has already made it difficult for him to join the Datong Party, and even if he joins, he will not be like those who joined the group early.

So Qian Qianyi chose to bypass the Datong Party and seek the support of other people.

Wen Tiren also understood Qian Qianyi's hint, and he was also deeply worried about the current strength of the Datong Party.

Don’t mention North Zhili, let’s just talk about South Zhili. Jiangnan governor Wang Wenyan is in charge, and the general of the new army in Jiangnan, Fang Yunchu, controls the military. The two cooperate with each other, and use Jiangnan as a base to radiate Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, etc. Land, what is the use of Wen Tiren, the Minister of Rites in Nanjing?

Thinking about the current situation, Wen Tiren refilled Qian Qianyi's tea: "Old Qian Ge, but the one in Linqing now."

Qian Qianyi seemed confident, and he said with a smile: "Yuanfu has made a lot of contributions to the Ming Dynasty. Yuanfu's achievements are obvious to all. Besides, the first emperor promised to give Yuanfu a prince?"

Wang Jue? !
Wen Tiren's eyes lit up, he understood Qian Qianyi's plan, and when he looked at Qian Qianyi, a dignified and modest gentleman, his heart suddenly became vigilant: This old guy who seems to be a gentleman, why is there so many schemes in his heart?In the future, you have to be careful to save yourself from being tricked by this old thing!

Although he thought so in his heart, Wen Tiren recognized Qian Qianyi's opinion very much. For the current plan, it is impossible to remove Zhang Haogu from the position of chief assistant of the cabinet without spending a lot of money and big benefits.

And everyone doesn't want to spend too much profit to offend Zhang Haogu. In this case, the emperor can only sacrifice for a while. Who will make this world belong to the Zhu family?
We scholar-officials, gentlemen, aren’t we also for the world of your old Zhu’s family?
It's all for the world of your old Zhu's family. What happened to you, the emperor of the old Zhu's family, who sacrificed his life?
"Old Qian Ge, I don't know how many people support your idea?" Wen Tiren asked tentatively.

Qian Qianyi stretched out his hand and gestured for a number, Wen Tiren nodded, and he had a rough idea: "In a few days, the old man celebrates his birthday, and His Majesty should come to congratulate him."

Qian Qianyi understood: "On the day of Wen Butang's birthday, the old man will definitely come in person."

A few days later, Wen Tiren celebrated his [-]th birthday. Qian Qianyi, a cabinet scholar, came to congratulate him in person. Not only Qian Qianyi arrived, but also many of Wen Tiren's colleagues and friends in Nanjing, as well as many old party officials in Beizhili. Xuezi Lin came to congratulate.

Wen Tiren's birthday was very lively this time, and there were a lot of people present. Some officials from the Datong Party even came to celebrate his birthday because they had a good personal relationship with Wen Tiren, which made Wen Tiren's birthday even more lively.

Chatting and laughing with everyone, after walking around every table, Wen Tiren went to the back hall to rest after drinking, and Qian Qianyi also left. The people who celebrated the birthday were not surprised by this, after all, Wen Tiren really can't drink much on weekdays, and Qian Qianyi also left. As a cabinet scholar, Qianyi also has a lot of burdens. It is not easy to come to celebrate his birthday now, and he will naturally leave after the birthday celebration is over.

But after Qian Qianyi left Wen Tiren's house, he went around again from the back door to Wen Tiren's backyard.

"Old Qian Ge, the master is waiting for you in the study." Wen Tiren's housekeeper hurriedly came to lead the way, and led Qian Qianyi to the door of the study respectfully.

Entering the study room, Qian Qianyi knelt down immediately when he saw the young man in the plain-patterned dragon collar robe, "Mr., see Your Majesty!"

When Zhu Youjian heard that Qian Qianyi was going to help him get rid of Zhang Haogu, a living Cao Cao, he was greatly moved. Qian Qianyi is worthy of being the leader of Donglin in the southeast.

Seeing Qian Qianyi's prostration ceremony now, Zhu Youjian felt that the string in his heart was moved, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Qian Qianyi: "Mr. Qian Ge, thank you for your hard work."

With tears in his eyes, Qian Qianyi said, "Your Majesty has been wronged during this time, although the old minister has not worked hard."

Hearing that someone finally understood his grievances, Zhu Youjian almost burst into tears. He was supported by Wen Tiren and Qian Qianyi to sit down, with a mournful expression on his face: "I say I am the Son of Heaven, but who will take me?" What's the matter?"

"In the court, Zhang Haogu is in charge of the government alone, and no one cares about my will; even in the palace, there is Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch, who is running amok. My majestic emperor, even the palace can't be controlled, so I don't care What emperor?"

"In and out of the palace, there are Zhang Haogu's people, eunuchs, guards, and city defenses of the imperial army. These are all under Zhang Haogu's control. I just feel like a bird, trapped in the golden silk called the palace. In the cage, I couldn't breathe if I tried to breathe."

Listening to Zhu Youjian's words, Wen Tiren burst into tears: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have been wronged!"

Zhu Youjian sighed: "How can I say that I am wronged? The first emperor handed over this great tomorrow to me. No matter how many grievances there are, I will take them down. Otherwise, how can I clean up those disorderly officials and thieves? Daming, now in a state of smog, can be brought out of chaos."

Wen Tiren immediately said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Qian Ge already has a good plan to eliminate thieves!"

Zhu Youjian's eyes lit up, the reason why he came to Wen Tiren's place in disguise was not because of Qian Qianyi's good strategy to eliminate thieves?

"What can Mr. Qian Ge teach me?" Zhu Youjian asked while holding Qian Qianyi's hand.

Qian Qianyi said: "Your Majesty, what is taken in advance must be given first. Now the Datong Party is powerful, inside and outside the palace, and in the court hall, there are all Datong Party members. If your Majesty wants to control the situation, you must first face it." one person."

"Zhang Haogu!" Zhu Youjian gritted his teeth and said the name.

The Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty is known as the person who created the prosperity of the apocalypse and promoted the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youjian doesn't have as many complicated feelings as others. He only has hatred for Zhang Haogu!

Qian Qianyi said: "Yes, if you want to solve the Datong Party, you must first deal with Zhang Haogu!"

"Your Majesty, do you know that the late emperor tried to solve the Datong Party when he was in power, so he sent Zhang Haogu out and started to clean up the court?"

Zhu Youjian nodded: "I've heard about it."

Qian Qianyi continued: "Does Your Majesty know why the late Emperor failed?"

Seeing Zhu Youjian shaking his head, Qian Qianyi said: "Because the late emperor thought that by driving Zhang Haogu away, he could control the capital, but Zhang Haogu was so powerful that he could control the direction of the capital even in Liaodong. Bad collusion between the inside and outside of the palace, and in the end the success fell short.”

That's what I said, but Qian Qianyi still doesn't know the real situation?
It is more than collusion inside and outside the palace. It means that both the palace and the court have abandoned Zhu Youxiao. Not only the new party has abandoned Zhu Youxiao, but the old party and the eunuchs and guards in the palace have all abandoned Zhu Youxiao. From the school to a loner, this is the key.

But Qian Qianyi didn't want to tell Zhu Youjian too clearly about these things at all. He just wanted Zhu Youjian to support his ideas. At that time, according to Qian Qianyi's ideas, even if he became the chief assistant of the cabinet, he still wanted to be with Datong. Party cooperation.

It's nothing more than turning the leader into himself. As for really cleaning up Zhang Haogu?

Are you kidding me, Qian Qianyi is not crazy, he only wants to deal with Zhang Haogu when he wants to kill his family.

Is Zhang Haogu really a kind-hearted person?

If Zhang Haogu is really nostalgic and kind-hearted, he can control the three towns of Zhili, and he can throw the heavily armed Zhu Youxiao in the Hall of Martial Arts and let him be called every day.

Various thoughts were spinning in his mind quickly, but Qian Qianyi's mouth was very clear: "Your Majesty, if you want to solve the Datong Party, you must solve Zhang Haogu, and if you want to solve Zhang Haogu, you must solve it." He must be allowed to leave Beijing!"

"I think that His Majesty's desire to completely solve the Datong Party and Zhang Haogu cannot be accomplished overnight. The late emperor was too impatient, which made the dog jump over the wall in a hurry, and finally fell short of success."

"If your Majesty wants to make up his mind, he must have hard work that lasts for several years or even ten years."

Zhu Youjian nodded again and again, obviously agreeing with Qian Qianyi's opinion: "Old Qian Ge will continue."

Qian Qianyi continued: "The key now is to let Zhang Haogu leave the capital. We must attract his attention and let him and the Datong party look away from the capital. Only in this way can your majesty control the capital step by step, and Only by mastering the capital can His Majesty gradually master the place and the court."

"Is there any good plan for Mr. Qian Ge?" Zhu Youjian asked, if he had a way to get Zhang Haogu to leave Beijing, wouldn't he have done it long ago?

Counterinsurgency?Daming is not talking about the country and the people's peace now, even if there is a rebellion, what level of rebellion can allow Zhang Haogu, the chief minister of the cabinet, to come in person?
If it really came to the point where the chief minister of the cabinet had to supervise the war, then Daming would be in jeopardy.

And the invasion of foreign enemies is even more unreliable. The enemies around Daming have been cleaned up by Zhang Haogu, so how can there be foreign troubles in Daming?
Seeing that Zhu Youjian was still unwilling to bring up that topic, Qian Qianyi chose to break Zhu Youjian's fantasy: "Your Majesty, the only plan for the present is to become king!"

"No!" Zhu Youjian's expression changed and he refused resolutely. How can there be a king with a different surname tomorrow?
Never allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch!

Zhu Youjian looked at Qian Qianyi and Wen Tiren, and Qian Qianyi and Wen Tiren also looked at Zhu Youjian. The three looked at each other for a long time, and Zhu Youjian asked helplessly, "Is this the only way?"

"Your Majesty, besides becoming king, is there any other way to make Zhang Haogu leave the capital?" Qian Qianyi asked back.

Zhu Youjian was dumbfounded, now, it seems that Zhang Haogu is the only one left to be king, but he is not reconciled, how can he be willing to give Zhang Haogu the king!
Wen Tiren advised: "Your Majesty, it is the best way for Zhang Haogu to become king."

"Seal him far away, let him stay away from Zhili, not in the hinterland of Daming, and save the safety of Daming. In this way, it will be much more difficult for Zhang Haogu, who is sealed in a remote place, to influence the capital."

"Besides, remote places are not convenient for development. If Zhang Haogu wants to develop, he must transfer people there. When he transfers people from the Datong Party, won't His Majesty be able to put honest and upright people in suitable positions?"

"In this way, Zhang Haogu's power in Zhili, the capital, is constantly weakening, while His Majesty's power is constantly growing. With this ebb and flow, His Majesty will be able to control the capital."

Zhu Youjian was moved. It is indeed a good idea not to seal Zhang Haogu in the mainland, but to seal him outside.

Where can it be sealed?
Commitment?

Monan?

Nanyang?

Or Dongying?
After thinking about it, these places are not suitable. Zhu Youjian felt that Zhang Haogu would attack him first when he proposed these places.

"I remember that Zhang Haogu was canonized by the late emperor as Duke of the Liao Kingdom." Zhu Youjian said slowly.

Qian Qianyi and Wen Tiren looked at each other, understood what Zhu Youjian meant, and sealed Zhang Haogu outside the pass, making him the king of Liao.

"Liao is a good name."

"King of Liao, Yuan Fu can still afford it."

Zhu Youjian was also very satisfied with what Qian Qianyi and Wen Tiren said to each other. It was not auspicious for King Liao to be in Daming. After all, the line of King Liao was abolished by the court, and it was completely cut off in the Wanli year. .

It is also a good sign to make Zhang Haogu the king of Liao, which means that the court can abolish him at any time in the future.

After reaching an agreement, Qian Qianyi and Wen Tiren immediately went to prepare. They also need to mobilize their staff and continue to build momentum. This is a complicated job.

So in the next few days, rumors gradually appeared in the capital, saying that the late emperor had promised to crown Lord Zhang Xiangye, and that Lord Zhang Xiangye had wiped out the Qing Dynasty, and he had made so many contributions to Ming Dynasty. How can I forget the promise I made?
Zhang Xiangye must be crowned king!

Immediately after this remark appeared, there was a big market in the capital and Zhili area. The common people didn't know the truth, and thought that someone really complained about Zhang Haogu.

Think about it too, how much did Master Zhang do for Lao Zhu's family?

He has been serving as the first assistant prime minister of the cabinet for a long time, running a new army, setting up new laws, pushing new policies, conquering the South and North, and governing the country and the people of the Ming Dynasty. Later, he went to the dangerous situation to pacify the Liaodong Army Town and destroy the Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty. The first emperor promised to be crowned king, how could he not?

Isn't this bullying honest people?

Therefore, the common people also believed that the imperial court should confer king on Mr. Zhang, and that the conferment should not be too bad, otherwise it would not be enough to reflect the imperial court's attention.

Under such rumors, Zhu Youjian went to court.

"In recent days, I have heard many rumors in the palace that the court owed Zhang Shoufu. After thinking about it, I found that this is the case. Over the years, the Shoufu has devoted himself to the Ming Dynasty. Will. I thought it should be a king." Zhu Youjian raised a topic that everyone cared about as soon as he came up.

Soon some officials from the Datong Party came forward, but they did not go along with it, but blocked it.

Then the old party officials also stood up and supported Zhang Haogu as king.

It is normal for the Datong Party and the old party to be tit-for-tat, but the Datong Party opposes making Zhang Haogu the king, and the old party supports Zhang Haogu. It seems that the Datong Party and Zhang Haogu have broken up, which seems a bit Magical.

After all, when Zhu Youjian first came to the throne, the Datong Party supported Zhang Haogu as king, but the old party firmly opposed it.

How long has it been since the old party supported it, and the Datong Party opposed it.

But all of this is not magic, after all, it still involves the interests of all parties. The Datong Party supported Zhang Haogu as king before, in order to create momentum for Zhang Haogu, and also to establish the priority of the court.

But now that Zhang Haogu is firmly seated in the imperial court, and the Datong Party is booming, at this time, Zhang Haogu should be crowned king and the president of the Datong Party should be kicked out of Zhili.
That's why the Datong party will resolutely oppose it, and they don't want Zhang Haogu to be kicked out of the capital at this critical moment, which will affect the good situation of the Datong party.

The old party had long been fed up with the situation of being suppressed by the Datong Party, and desperately supported Zhang Haogu to be crowned king as soon as possible and then leave the capital.

When the two sides were deadlocked, Zhu Youjian finally forcibly made a decision, and decided to respect the late emperor's will and give Zhang Haogu the title of king, and he wanted to be a prince with one word!
