The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 376

Zuo Shunmen's crying and admonishing incident not only troubled Xie Shen, but also worried Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet.

Although he knew the true intention of the mutual market, it was inconvenient to explain it to the officials.

Some things are just like this, when there are too many people who know about it, it is easy to make mistakes.

The Chief Assistant of the Cabinet was pacing back and forth in Wenyuan Pavilion, with a lot of sweat oozing from his forehead.

Based on his understanding of the emperor, the emperor will not come forward in this matter.In the end, the thorny problem had to be solved by him, a bachelor.

It would have been easier if someone else took the lead in crying and admonishing, but this time it was Ma Wensheng, Minister of the Ministry of War who took the lead in crying and admonishing.

This is a little difficult.

Although Liu Jian was eloquent, he was not confident that he would be able to persuade Ma Wensheng to change his mind.

If he tried to persuade Ma Wensheng but didn't give face, where would he put his face as the chief assistant?

Oh, it's so difficult.

"Yu Qiao, why don't you go out and persuade Negative Tu."

Xie Qian was drinking tea by himself, and almost choked to death when he heard these words.

In his heart, he secretly scolded Liu Jian for being shameless, for being a turtle with a shrunken head but pulling others out to fill the tank.

But he said with a smile: "Brother Xixian, I can't persuade Brother Negtu."

But Liu Jian pushed his hand and said: "Yu Qiao is eloquent and eloquent, it is most suitable for you to persuade Negative Figure. If even Yu Qiao is not competent, I am afraid that the Ming court will not be able to find another person."

He was telling half truths.The truth is that Xie Qian is really good at arguing with people, and the truth is that Liu Jian wants to throw the charcoal to Xie Qian.

You must know that Xie Qian disagreed with Xu Pu and Liu Jian on the matter of banning the sea, and supported Xie Shen.

This led to Xu Pu's resignation.Although Liu Jian was a direct beneficiary of this matter, he still felt jealous of Xie Qian.

Under such circumstances, Liu Jian would like to see Xie Qian disgusted by persuading and crying to the officials.

Although Xie Qian was very reluctant, he had no other choice.

Who told Liu Jian to be the chief assistant?

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

In this cabinet, no one can compete with Liu Jian.

"Then I'll give it a try."

Xie Qian's voice was full of helplessness. Based on his understanding of Ma Wensheng, this man would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Forget it, let's do it to show the first assistant.

It was very close from Wenyuan Pavilion to Zuoshunmen, Xie Qian paced away, and not long after, he saw a group of officials kneeling outside Zuoshunmen crying and admonishing them.

He didn't count in detail, but it is preliminarily estimated that there are nearly a hundred ministers crying and admonishing.

There were so many people kneeling outside Zuoshun's gate, crying and howling together, the scene was really grand.

The one who cried the most was Bingma Shangshu Ma Wensheng.

This one not only burst into tears, but also wailed through the palace, which was highly recognizable.

Xie Qian bit the bullet and walked over to help Ma Wensheng up.

"Brother Negative, why are you doing this? His Majesty has already made a decree about the exchange market, and you can't change it even if you cry and remonstrate here."

Ma Wensheng is 23 years older than Xie Qian, so he can talk about his qualifications.

But the current situation is that Xie Qian entered the cabinet as the third university scholar, while Ma Wensheng can only serve as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

While it may not seem like much of a difference, the outlook is quite different.

Qunfu, the second assistant can be promoted to be the first assistant, which is equivalent to a prime minister with one person under one person and over ten thousand people.However, the officials of the Six Departments are mediocre at most, and it is very difficult to join the cabinet.

What Ma Wensheng disliked the most was that Xie Qian had been a Ci minister for a few days and then went all the way to the cabinet, and now he even sneered at Xie Qian's attitude.

"Hmph, Your Majesty was bewitched by traitors, and this old man should be his own advice. Why doesn't Mr. Xie Ge dare to stand out by himself, and doesn't he ask this old man to stand up?"

Xie Qian knew this would be the result, and secretly thought it was bad luck.

But he had to say with a smile: "Brother Negative Tu, what did you say? Your Majesty has already discussed this matter with the cabinet, and it is not completely unreasonable."

It was fine if he didn't say that, but Ma Wensheng immediately exploded when he said that.

"It turns out that the cabinet has known about it for a long time. Now that it knows, why not dissuade His Majesty. Xie Jinxiu is confused, and the elders of the cabinet will also be confused?"

Xie Qian's complexion suddenly turned ugly.

He yelled one after another, but Ma Wensheng didn't appreciate it, and only responded with Xie Gelao.

I'm afraid that's being polite.

"The cabinet has considerations for the cabinet, and some of them are inconvenient to say to the outside world."

Ma Wensheng snorted coldly and said, "What's the inconvenience? It's obvious that Xie Jinxiu was subdued, and the elders also bent their kneecaps?"

Xie Qian secretly scolded that this horse with a black face is really an old man who doesn't care about oil and salt, why did he let such a person become the Minister of the Ministry of War?
"The old man is in charge of the Ministry of War, so naturally he can't ignore the threat to our Ming border defense. Since there are people in the court who are dead and vegetarian, let the old man take care of it!"

Ma Wensheng said these words impassionedly, but Xie Qian was very annoyed.

What does it mean to have a corpse in the middle of the court who sits on a vegetarian diet? Isn't this just calling names and scolding cabinet ministers?

Xie Qian felt very wronged.

If this plan is successful, it can keep the border defense of Ming Dynasty safe for a hundred years, so why is it said to be a threat to the border defense?

But he couldn't say it, because if the story spread, it would inevitably be known by the Tatars, and the plan would be useless.

Seeing Xie Qian's angry and irrefutable expression, Ma Shangshu said proudly: "Old Xie Ge, why not report back to Your Majesty, even if the old minister has only one breath left, he still wants to wave the flag for Daming!"

shameless!What a shameless person!
Xie Qian couldn't bear it anymore, and walked away directly.

Ma Wensheng stared at Xie Qian coldly, straightening his back like a victor.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent and cannot dissuade the officials who are crying and admonishing."

Xie Qian did not return to Wenyuan Pavilion, but went directly to Wenhua Hall.

At this time, the emperor was supervising the prince's study, and when he saw Xie Qian coming in, he waved to Wang Yue to give Xie Qian a seat.

"Sir, have Ma Qing's family left yet?"

The emperor obviously also heard about all the officials crying and admonishing at Zuoshunmen, and asked worriedly.

Xie Qian nodded and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister is incapable of dissuading Ma Shangshu, please forgive me."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hands again and again and said, "Sir, there is nothing wrong with being loyal to the country."

This is Xie Qian's brilliance.

Although he was unwilling to persuade Ma Wensheng, Liu Jian threw the charcoal to him, so he couldn't just throw it away.

Went to Zuoshunmen for a stroll, and then went to Wenhua Hall to appeal to the emperor.This not only shows that Xie Qian is utterly loyal and considers his father wholeheartedly, it can also reflect the incompetence of Liu Jian, a scholar of the First Assistant University.

Xie Qian obtained a lot of hidden benefits between entering and exiting.

"Your Majesty, the mutual market is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. If it really causes Duoyan Sanwei and the Tatars to fight, the court just needs to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. But Ma Shangshu made such a fuss, and I am worried that the public opinion will boil. "

"How come I don't know."

Emperor Hongzhi put down the scroll in his hand and sighed quietly.
