Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 132 Mr. Qian’s opinion
"... I have said before that we cannot put our hope in Bi Ziyan, but you all don't believe it and still have hope in Bi Ziyan. What now?"

The bright sun at noon was very dazzling. In the elegant room of a restaurant in Yongfang at that time, Qian Qianyi was sitting in the main seat. The official robe fit him so well. Looking at the people present, the corners of Qian Qianyi's mouth turned up slightly, which showed that he was Feeling proud in my heart.

Yes.

How can one be dissatisfied?
After being away from the court for many years, even though he has a great reputation in the opposition, it is not easy to find an official position in the capital. Qian Qianyi made plans when he first came to the capital to plan for himself and strive to be able to work in the capital. He attracts attention from both the government and the public, so that even if the government is in chaos, he can still serve as an official in the government.

However, the new king unexpectedly summoned him, met him in Xiyuan, and was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Although there were some mistakes in the process, he accidentally fell into the Taiye Pool, lost his manners in front of the king, and also caught the wind and cold, but the result It's good.

Zou Yuanbiao, Miao Changqi, Zhao Nanxing, and Gao Panlong showed different expressions. Although they didn't say anything, Qian Qianyi guessed something and his cunning eyes started to roll.

"Ah~"

A long sigh sounded in the elegant room. Zou Yuanbiao looked at the dishes on the table, but he had no appetite at all. The Minister of Staff was still undecided, which made him feel very confused.

Since that matter was finalized, a lot of benefits were ceded privately, but until now, there has been no sign of it. Zou Yuanbiao is confused and unwilling!
After all, after several rounds of promotions, his name, Zou Yuanbiao, was among the best. There was a high demand for taking over as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but the emperor just turned a blind eye. Who can explain this?

It is simply unheard of for the Minister of Personnel to dare to remain vacant for so long. Even during the turbulent period of the Wanli Dynasty, there were many vacancies in the court and local officials, but there were no vacancies in the core government offices.

"Since the emperor has been in power, he has been so closed-minded, not listening to loyal advice, making arbitrary decisions, and living in the inner court without attending the court. This is not a blessing for the country."

Zou Yuanbiao, who was feeling depressed, took a sip from the teacup in his hand and said, "I act spontaneously when things happen. Whenever there is any objection from the boss, I will issue a decree to suppress it. How many people who are not worthy of their virtue have been promoted. If If things continue like this, won’t the rituals and patriarchal traditions of the country be in vain?”

You old thief.

Qian Qianyi frowned slightly, with a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He glanced at Zou Yuanbiao and said, "Just say what you say. If you don't have anything to say, you are the right minister of the Ministry of Punishment and you have been promoted according to the system. That's all."

"Ahem~ Zou Gongzhi is right."

Although he was dissatisfied, Qian Qianyi's appearance did not change. He coughed twice and said: "How can such an important position as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel remain vacant like this? The memorials I submitted earlier are just hoping that Your Majesty will be alert. It’s just that Your Majesty is keeping things in mind, and based on my own advice, I need to change my mind on this matter.”

Qian Qianyi was talking eloquently here, but Zou Yuanbiao frowned slightly. In fact, he was slightly dissatisfied with Qian Qianyi.

If it hadn't been for the few memorials he submitted, perhaps the court situation would not have been so complicated, and the debates involving officials and ministers would not have become more intense each time. However, Qian Qianyi's memorials were so beautifully written. .

Even if some people are keenly aware of Qian Qianyi's intention to compete for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, these thoughts and thoughts can only be hidden in their hearts.

You can say that Qian Qianyi has no integrity and is a typical self-interested opportunist, but you cannot deny Qian Qianyi's literary talent. The name of everyone in the literary world is not for nothing.

"Then according to Mr. Qian's opinion, how should we advise?"

Zhao Nanxing thought for a while, glanced at Zou Yuanbiao, and said to Qian Qianyi.

After several meetings, from the beginning when Qian Qianyi's name was not there, to when Qian Qianyi's name was there and his ranking continued to rise, some people in the Donglin Party could see the contradictions and struggles of certain people. .

The position of an official in the Ministry of Personnel may not be as dazzling as that of a cabinet minister, and if you hold such an important position, you will never be able to enter the cabinet, but you can't bear the title of official. If you really want to do well, don't mention the group assistant. Even the second assistant can't compare, and even the first assistant has to win over.

Qian Qianyi also has ideas! !
How can a right minister of the Ministry of Rites be as good as the minister of the Ministry of Official Affairs? If he can get this position, the status of the Qian family in Jiangnan must be different. Of course, Qian Qianyi did not express these thoughts, but Build momentum with practical actions.

When Zhou Jiamo resigned from this post, he was somewhat reluctant. However, due to the ever-changing political situation, it was probably due to some considerations and exchanges that this scene finally happened.

The Donglin Party relied on the dispute over the country's origins to support Emperor Guangzong Yuji. Although there were some disturbances in the middle, Emperor Guangzong died unexpectedly. However, after rapid adjustment, they took advantage of the palace transfer turmoil to quickly support Yuji Jinshang and clearly ascended the throne. This made the Donglin Party gradually become the number one clique.

Perhaps after the new monarch succeeded to the throne according to the imperial edict, his performance was quite different from before, but one fact has never changed. The revolt of a large number of Donglin Party members has become a fact. However, human desires are endless. In the past, they were repeatedly suppressed by the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party and other factions. This has caused the Donglin Party's internal needs to quietly change.

Why do you sit in this position, but I can only sit in that position?

Changes in circumstances such as these, coupled with the uncertain situation in foreign Korea, are something that Liu Yishen and Han Xu cannot completely suppress.

"Do you still remember Prince Fu who was summoned to the capital in a few months?" Seeing everyone looking over, Qian Qianyi lifted his robe sleeves and said calmly.

"Does this have anything to do with this?"

Gao Panlong frowned.

"of course."

Qian Qianyi raised his lips slightly and said: "The current situation is obviously your fault. The emperor is the emperor. Everyone knows that Emperor Guangzong was not favored by Emperor Shenzong at the beginning. Even when he was in the East Palace today, he was not favored. Good teaching, even though many people in the country came to give advice at that time, Emperor Shenzong did not listen to the advice."

Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Nanxing, and Gao Panlong looked at each other with different expressions, and they knew this.There are even many people in the government who closely associate the emperor's current willful behavior with the fact that he did not receive good lessons at that time.

If one could receive instruction from an early age, life would never be like this.

"What we have to do now is to create a momentum between the government and the public."

Qian Qianyi saw that everyone had suspicions, so he continued: "The emperor can leave the Qianqing Palace, come to court, and summon ministers. Only in this way can it be possible to change something. What do you think?"

"This is the truth, but what should we do?" Zou Yuanbiao frowned and said, "After all, this has never happened before, but what is the result?"

Either he would be given the imperial rod at Meridian Gate, or he would be arrested and imprisoned. However, Zou Yuanbiao did not say these words out loud, but secretly said them in his heart.

While talking about this, Zou Yuanbiao thought of the Huangming Times, which Xu Guangqi was responsible for. If it hadn't been for this, the public opinion in the past would not have been like that.

"A few days ago, a commoner found me."

Qian Qianyi did not answer the question. He slowly picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Under the gaze of everyone, he said calmly: "This person's name is Wang Wenyan."

Wang Wenyan?

The faces of Zou Yuanbiao and others changed slightly. Wasn't this person a former disciple of Wang An?

"Seeing him, I thought of something."

Qian Qianyi put down the tea cup and said with a slight smile: "If we can raise the question of why Prince Fu came to the capital in the capital, and not be welcomed by the emperor, then the Hongwan case will be in trouble again."

On the occasion of the New Year's break, Qian Qianyi was not idle. He traveled to many places and met many people. He may have a plan to deepen the relationship and increase his reputation, but more importantly, Qian Qianyi wanted to gain power. .

"Is this okay?"

Zhao Nanxing frowned and said, "The Hongwan case was previously designated by His Majesty and assigned to Hong Chengchou."

Within the Donglin Party, they did not recognize the two cases of Hongwan's transfer to the palace. They only recognized the Hongwan case. After all, the latter was detrimental to them.

"Then what did Hong Chengchou find out?"

Qian Qianyi said: "For so long, the case of the Battle of Saarhu has been finalized, but there has been no follow-up on this case. Does Hong Chengchou have this ability?"

"Then what does Mr. Qian think?"

Zou Yuanbiao frowned slightly and glanced at Zhao Nanxing and the others, "Can Wang Wenyan win this case just by himself?"

"That's certainly not enough."

Qian Qianyi smiled and said: "I heard that this Wang Wenyan had a good relationship with Yang Lian and the others before?"

At this moment, everyone understood.

Zou Yuanbiao, Zhao Nanxing, and Gao Panlong knew that Qian Qianyi wanted to use Yang Lian as a gunman. As a rising star, Yang Lian's status in the Donglin Party had only been promoted recently. After all, what he had done , no matter what I personally think, it has indeed helped the Donglin Party.

"If you trust me, this can be done like this."

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Qian Qianyi said in a low voice: "..., as long as this matter can be accomplished, the position of Heavenly Official in the Ministry of Personnel will definitely belong to Duke Zou."

Zou Yuanbiao, who was frowning when he listened to what Qian Qianyi said, finally changed his expression when he heard what Qian Qianyi said, and instinctively began to humble himself.

Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and the others watched Qian Qianyi and Zou Yuanbiao coming and going. They didn't say much else, they just watched quietly.

"I won't talk about that for now."

Finally, Qian Qianyi waved his hand and said: "No matter what, the position of the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs cannot fall into the hands of the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Party and other factions. If you are willing, just do what I said. As for other things, I don't think about it for the time being. Of course, this matter must be kept secret, and no news must be leaked."

This statement won the approval of Zou Yuanbiao and Zhao Nanxing. Important positions in the civil service cannot be taken away by others. This is the consensus within the Donglin Party.

Seeing everyone agreeing, Qian Qianyi kept smiling, but he was full of pride in his heart. If this plan can be clarified, then he will be one step closer to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. There are some things that only he knows. As for Even if these people in front of me find out afterwards and blame themselves in their hearts, they still want what they want from themselves in the end...
