Chapter 225 The Complicated Fighting Scene

The general plan for disaster relief has been determined, and the time to decide the candidates for the imperial envoy has finally arrived.

All the courtiers wait and see to see who will get the number one job in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and many of them are ready to compete.But judging by today's posture, the flag has died down.On the one hand is the drafter of the immigration strategy, Xu Guangqi, the real master of the emperor. I am afraid that this one still has the support of the emperor. I can't stand the temptation of 1000 million taels of silver. Although I haven't said anything just now, I can see that these people are also prepared; there are also members of the Donglin Party, this way, now that Wei Zhongxian fell and was called back to the court , Most of them are members of the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party is now at the top of the court. It can be said that the role of Half the Sky has great potential. Many people are ready to play soy sauce, ready to watch a good show, or thinking about who to help.

"The matter of disaster relief has been settled. Next, let's discuss who will be the imperial envoy." Yang Reform said calmly and calmly.

The emperor finally uttered these words, and the officials below instantly became sharper and more energetic, all eager to try.

This sentence was like a match thrown into a sea of ​​gasoline, instantly igniting the entire Wenhua Palace, and the air in the Wenhua Palace instantly became blazing.

Although Shi Fenglai, the first assistant, flattered the horse's hoof last time, he had no complaints and was still ready to support the emperor and Xu Guangqi.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Xu Shaobao is none other than Xu Shaobao for this disaster relief." Shi Fenglai was still the first to speak.

"Oh, hehe, tell me the reason." Yang Reform asked with a smile.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are three reasons. First, Xu Shaobao is the direct drafter of the disaster relief and immigration strategy. He is the most familiar and understanding of this immigration disaster relief strategy, and he is the first choice of imperial envoys. Second, Xu Shaobao is the prince Shaobao. Scholars, the rank is high enough to represent His Majesty, and the imperial court leads disaster relief matters in various places. Only in this way can it appear that the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter, and it is also able to coordinate local areas to cooperate with immigrants in disaster relief. You are the best candidate for imperial envoy..." Shi Fenglai pointed out the biggest advantages of Xu Guangqi as an imperial envoy, and supported Xu Guangqi.

"Well, it makes sense, and I think it's good." Yang Reform is no longer concerned about Xu Guangqi leaving him. The matter of immigrant disaster relief is related to his future destiny and the direction of history. Xu Guangqi is in charge of this matter. , is far more meaningful than staying in the court to help oneself.However, I can see something from today's posture. I am afraid that the important ministers in the court are all planning to compete for the candidate for the imperial envoy. It is not good for me to directly order Xu Guangqi to be the imperial envoy. Let these important ministers play out the cards in their hands, and compare whose cards are bigger. Otherwise, everyone will turn their firepower on themselves, and it will become a direct battle between themselves and so many important ministers. guidelines.

"Your Majesty, I believe that Shi Yuanfu's words are justified. As an imperial envoy, he must have someone who is highly respected, clean and capable, and able to hold back the situation. In this way, when things are done, the local government will not shirk. Talking nonsense, I also recommend one person. This person is in the same cabinet as Xu Shaobao, and he is a university scholar Liu Hongxun. Xu Guangqi is comparable, he is also a member of the cabinet, and both are bachelors.

This is the person introduced by the Donglin Party?Yang Reform couldn't help muttering in his heart, this Liu Hongxun, Yang Reform has an impression, because Wei Zhongxian stepped down, and now that Wei Zhongxian fell, he was called back and became a member of the cabinet. Could it be that this guy was launched by the Donglin Party? competitor?

Yang Reform nodded half-understanding, and said, "Well, not bad, not bad."

The number one fat job in the Chongzhen Dynasty was just thrown out by the emperor, and he immediately fell into a fierce battle. The battle was already open and sharp.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." A minister came out and said.

Yang Reform was still practicing identifying people, but there were too many people, and he couldn't remember who the guy was.But if you don’t recognize it, you don’t recognize it. Let’s see what he said first.

"Your family, tell me."

"Your Majesty, I believe that this emigration is a matter of great importance. As Shi Yuanfu said, it must be of noble character and reliable. However, I heard that Xu Shaobao joined the barbarian sect. What is it called Catholicism? What kind of barbarian god is he talking about? The sage has long said, "You don't talk about strange powers and chaotic gods". This person who believes in the barbarian religion... I am worried..." This person only spoke half of his words, and left the rest to Everyone guesses for themselves.

To smear, typical smear, Yang Reform is quite familiar with Xu Guangqi, what kind of Catholicism he joined was not to learn Western science and technology, nor to believe in religion for the sake of believing in religion.This guy actually took this matter to the court as a stain on Xu Guangqi. This smearing technique is very clever.Of course, this matter is indeed a big stain in the current Ming Dynasty.

Yang Reform immediately said: "I know about this matter. Xu Shaobao's envoy belongs to the religion, but this imperial envoy belongs to the imperial envoy. I can trust Master Xu's character. These two things should not be mixed together." Yang Reform thinks that this politics is really fucking disgusting. He usually doesn't think that when the critical moment comes, all kinds of means of discrediting others will come.This "Donglin Party" seems to value the candidates for this imperial envoy very much!By the way, there are nobles who are staring at each other. They haven't spoken all the time. I don't know what they are going to do?Are you also going to compete for this imperial envoy?However, these nobles have never moved, as if the imperial envoy has nothing to do with them.

Yang Reform suppressed this kind of remarks, which is considered to be a support for Xu Guangqi. Seeing that the emperor personally supported Xu Guangqi, the officials stopped entangled in this issue.

But what happened next surprised Yang Reform, and he was dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say." A minister stood up. Yang Reform took a look and didn't recognize him. However, to be able to enter today's meeting, the rank is considered high, at least it is at the rank of a minister. Too low, not even qualified for entry.

"What does the Qing family have to say?" Yang Reform asked.

"Your Majesty, I think that the imperial mission to emigrate is important and complicated, and must have been traveling for many years, working hard, eating and sleeping in the open, so..., I think that the imperial mission should choose a younger and stronger person, so, He is more able to adapt to the hardships of traveling abroad all year round, and is more able to serve His Majesty and the court... Although Xu Shaobao is the one who formulated the immigration strategy, he is too old to travel abroad... Besides, there are already As for the detailed strategy, as long as the person who executes it strictly follows Xu Shaobao's strategy, it will be better to complete the immigration and disaster relief work...Similarly, Mr. Liu Ge is not young, so it is not suitable to travel around all the year round..." This As soon as the person came out, he hit Xu Guangqi's weakness. Indeed, as this person said, this immigrant imperial envoy must be traveling all year round, because the immigration matter involves several provinces and involves the migration of millions of people from north to south. If the health is not good, I'm afraid he couldn't bear the pain of running around. What surprised Yang Reform was that he brought Liu Hongxun in by the way.

This surprised Yang Reform!This time, two cabinets were swept in. Isn't this Liu Hongxun recommended by the "Donglin Party"?Why is it that even Liu Hongxun is framed together now?What's wrong?Is this person a third-party force?Belonging to the noble group?Yang Reform was puzzled.

Even more unbelievable things came.

Just when Yang Reform was confused about who was on whose side and who was helping whom, what this person said completely confused Yang Reform, who was already confused by the interests of the court, even more confused. .

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that this emigration and disaster relief, as your Majesty said, is of great importance. It is related to the government affairs of our dynasty in the next few years. The minister thought that a young and strong person should be selected as the imperial envoy for the immigrants. The minister recommended Zhou Yanru, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. Now, there is Xu Shaobao's immigration relief strategy, and there is a young and strong person like Zhou Shilang in charge. With such cooperation, Fang It's a perfect cooperation! This is related to my disaster relief for immigrants who are in danger, and it will be handled perfectly..."

Who is this person? Yang Reform has no intention of caring about this person. What this person said unexpectedly caught Yang Reform's eyeballs and feelings. I just thought that Liu Hongxun was a member of the "Donglin Party". Is it the person elected by the Donglin Party who is going to compete for the imperial envoy?This, the relationship is too confusing.Yang Reform was a little dizzy.

Yang Reform was surprised to look at the nobles standing aside, who seemed to be leisurely. They seemed not in a hurry at all.I'm afraid Liu Hongxun wasn't the one they pushed out, definitely not, if he had, he would have come out to fight and speak for Liu Hongxun long ago, the place is as idle as it is now.Yang Reform was dumbfounded, the relationship between the court and the court is really complicated.

"Big companion, who is this Liu Hongxun from? Zhou Yanru should be from the Donglin Party, right?" Yang Reform asked Wang Chengen in a very depressed voice.Who is Liu Hongxun? Yang Reform still doesn’t know yet, but Zhou Yanru should be a member of the Donglin Party, because the Donglin Party historically dominated the future Ming Dynasty government, and this week Yanru joined the cabinet and served as the chief assistant He is not a member of the Donglin Party, he can be the chief assistant?On this point, Yang Reform is still clear.

Wang Chengen was also very surprised by the emperor's words. The emperor knew that the party was divided, so he whispered: "Your Majesty... this Liu Hongxun is probably promoted by the Qi party, and Zhou Yanru is indeed a member of the Donglin party... "

Regarding Wang Chengen's words, Yang Reform is even more inexplicable. When did there be another Qi party?Isn't this only the eunuch party and the Donglin party?At most, there are this group of nobles who seem to be idle, why is there another whole party?In this way, it is from Shandong?Yang Reform's thinking, which was a bit clueless, is now completely messed up by this chaotic situation.

"What's the matter with the Qi Party? Why did they introduce one?" Yang Reform was very depressed. What and what is this all about?I had to ask Wang Chengen in a low voice.

"Returning to Your Majesty, in the past, Wei Ni gathered a part of the Zhejiang, Qi, Chu, Xuan, and Kun parties and became the Wei Party. Now, Wei Ni has subdued the law, and the Wei Party has disbanded. Now the servants guess, some People want to push out a senior scholar who has a problem with the Wei party as a front, so as to change the court..." Wang Chengen explained in a low voice.

Yang Reform is completely entangled now. The court is really too chaotic. In this court, there is a faction of his own lineage, and Xu Guangqi is promoted, among them are the "remnants" of the Wei party. On his own side; and some people separated from the fallen Wei Party, came up with the idea of ​​launching an anti-Wei Party scholar to change their appearance and draw a line with the Wei Party, and the accidental introduction of Liu Hongxun, the University scholar; There is also this Zhou Yanru promoted by the Donglin Party; and the group of nobles who have been standing by the side without saying a word, as if they are very leisurely, and they are here to watch the play.

Yang Reform was about to faint. For the first time, he felt that maybe he shouldn't have distinguished this person so clearly, and shouldn't have made this government affairs so clear. It's better, at least I don't have such a headache.

Yang Reform is still struggling, and the people below are almost arguing.

"...Your Majesty will never agree with Zhou Yanru and Zhou Shilang as an imperial envoy. Zhou Shilang is really too young, only thirty-five, how can he afford such a major matter of immigrant disaster relief? Your Majesty, as the saying goes, Jiang is still old and hot." , it is better to send a more experienced person as an imperial envoy..."

"...Your Majesty, the immigrant imperial envoy is of great importance. They work hard and live in the open all year round. Your Majesty, it is more appropriate to send a young one..."

"...Your Majesty, you should send an old minister..."

"...Your Majesty, although Zhou Shilang is only in his thirties, he has 15 years of experience as an official, and he is more than stable enough to complete this matter..."

"...Yes! Your Majesty, Xie Jin, the first chief assistant of my dynasty, was only 33 years old when Mr. Xie became the first assistant. Mr. Zhou also wants to learn from Mr. Xie, so that he can achieve a good reputation as a 35-year-old cabinet. It's a good story about..."

"……you……"

Above the court, there was no one restraining them, and it was almost a quarrel. The battle between the two sides had become a battle between the Donglin Party and the Emperor Party and the Qi Party.

Yang Reform really didn't expect that the appointment of an imperial envoy for immigrants and disaster relief would be so troublesome. If he had known this was the case, he would have directly ordered Xu Guangqi to be the imperial envoy for immigrant disaster relief. There are so many troubles there .

Yang Reform is entangled. In fact, the members of the Donglin Party are even more entangled.

The Donglin Party finally waited until they moved to Wei Zhongxian. They thought they could turn around and take charge of the court. If so, such a great thing as the imperial envoy today would basically not fall on others. It is definitely the Donglin Party stuff in the bag.

It's a pity that Wei Zhongxian has fallen, and his Wei Party has also fallen and scattered. Unfortunately, in this cabinet, there is no one who is suitable for them to be an immigration imperial envoy. Even Qi Dang, whom they look down on, can launch one , but they did not.

Originally, they had Sun Chengzong, who was the anti-target of the Donglin Party, or the official "Emperor Teacher", and had a close relationship with the emperor, even above the cabinet. Unfortunately, this Sun Chengzong was the emperor's right arm, not his left. The arm is responsible for the military. Sun Chengzong is in charge of the military and training the new army wholeheartedly.Therefore, Sun Chengzong, the best candidate, does not need to be considered.

Originally, this Xu Guangqi should be regarded as half of the Donglin Party. At least, he was framed by the Eunuch Party, and he should have a common language with the Donglin Party. Unfortunately, he is a die-hard imperial party, and others don't need it at all. What Donglin Party.

As for the chief assistants Shi Fenglai and Zhang Ruitu, there is no need to think about it. People in the Donglin Party are looking forward to their resignation and are ready to take over their positions. Unfortunately, they are also very hateful. He hasn't stepped down yet, he is still in the cabinet, and he is still a bachelor.This university has a limited number of places, and if they don't give up their seats, the people below will not be able to go up, and if they can't go up, their status will be lowered, while the Donglin Party has weight and has a future, at most it is the role of a servant. For example, Zhou Yanru is the right servant of the Ministry of Rites. In this embarrassing situation where he can't be high or low, the members of the Donglin Party can't wait to pick up stones and kill those who stand in front.

Yang Reform himself didn't know that it was precisely because he played a game of chess right in a random way that led to the current situation. Otherwise, the court would definitely not be like this now, and he could control the situation relatively easily. His cabinet is now full of "remnants of the Wei Party", they are all responders, or they are his own people, the members of the Donglin Party who will monopolize the government in the future, and the leaders of the Donglin Party have relatively low status now. In the position of a minister, such as Zhou Yanru, the minister and the cabinet scholar are competing for the position of imperial envoy. The gap is not usually large, and the difficulty is not usually large.However, it is impossible for the best of the Donglin Party to climb to the position of minister and cabinet, the fastest, within a year or so.After a year and a half, it will be related to the major affairs of the imperial court within a few years. The emigration and imperial envoys have already belonged to others.

Yang reform is entangled, and Donglin Party is even more entangled. Qi Dang guys are busy drawing a line with Wei Dang's hat, preparing to make a comeback, messing up this matter vigorously, and entangled with Donglin Party members. Play soy sauce leisurely on the side.This is the general situation of discussing immigration and imperial envoys.

Yang Reform didn't bother to deal with the commotion below, and now he's still concentrating on clearing his mind.Still talking with Wang Chengen in a low voice.

"Big companion, these nobles don't seem to have released their candidates yet! Do you know why?" Yang Reform thought for a long time, and found that these nobles haven't released their candidates yet. By that time, This will probably be more complicated, and by then, the play will probably be even better.
