Therefore, there are specialties in the art industry.
With so many people present, their initial thoughts were just to confront each other head-on.
However, Zhu Jian and Xu Youzhen, the old and the young, pried a crack inside the imperial court with just a few words.
Perhaps it was because this strategy was so vicious that even many of the relatives present frowned, but no one spoke.
Until a moment later, Ningyang Bo Chen Mao, who had not spoken for a long time, snorted, glanced at Xu Youzhen, who was the first to make this suggestion, and scolded.
"You can't get on the stage if you follow a sideways approach!"
Ren Li's face looked a little ugly, because if it was any later, he would have to agree with Xu Youzhen's statement.
Chen Mao was talking about Xu Youzhen, but Marquis Ren could not help but replace himself.
Forcing a smile, Marquis Ren looked at Chen Maodao. .
"It's just a discussion. If Uncle Ning Yang has any opinions, you can just say it. We all express our opinions. There is no need to be so fierce."
Although Chen Mao's title has now been reduced to earl, and he has no official or position, he is a real hero of Jingnan. In terms of qualifications, he is the same generation as Zhang Fu. Therefore, his confidence is, It's far more than just a title.
What's more, Ren Li had been working under him back then. Even though he was now prosperous, Chen Maoruo didn't want to give him face, so he wouldn't give it to him.
So, Chen Mao looked at Ren Li, raised his brows, and said in a cold voice.
"In today's court, there are only three people who have the title of Sangu, and one of them is Yu Qian. Lord Ren may be forgetful and can't remember how Yu Qian went from being a mere minister to his current prestigious position. ?”
As soon as the words fell, there was a small ripple in the calligraphy that was originally quiet, and several people present couldn't help but start whispering with those nearby.
Ren Li was even more dazed for a while. Looking at Chen Mao's cold expression, he suddenly came to his senses.
Yu Qian has so much halo that many things he has done are subconsciously ignored by others.
After the Civil War, the situation in the court changed drastically. However, no matter how the situation changed, Wang Wen and Yu Qian were always the most powerful and prestige among the civil servants.
Of course, there is also Hu Hui, but he has always been wise to protect himself and will not interfere with the affairs of the court if he can. Therefore, if we leave aside the emperor, the people who have the greatest influence on the court are Wang Wen and Yu Qian.
In terms of authority, the Ministry of Civil Affairs under Wang Wen undoubtedly ranked first among all the yamen. However, the Ministry of War under Yu Qian's status, that is, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Procuratorate were equally ranked.
Even now, when the war has ceased and the people are recuperating, the importance of the Ministry of War in the court has slightly declined.
However, among the civil servants, Wang Wen and Yu Qian were still regarded as the leaders.
The biggest reason is that Yu Qian is not only the Minister of the Ministry of War, but also a Shaobao from the first rank.
Three masters and three orphans, they are extremely loyal to others, and they will never teach lightly!
This time when the East Palace came out of the cabinet, a lot of civil and military ministers, the third master of the prince and the third young master of the prince were sealed. Even Ren Li had a title of prince and tutor on his body.
However, there are always only three people named Wang Wen, Yu Qian and Hu Hui.
Needless to say, Hu Hu was a veteran of the Five Dynasties and the mainstay. Wang Wen was deliberately favored because of his contribution to Liaodong and his narrow escape from death. He also took the blame for the emperor several times.
But Yu Qian, he is neither a veteran like Hu Hui nor a person like Wang Wen who is always attached to the emperor. The biggest reason why he can get the title of Sangu is...
"Yu Qian has been on the throne since the Yongle period. He has been honest and upright for decades and has a reputation as a virtuous man."
"After the Tumu Campaign, the court situation was in turmoil. The ministers were frightened three times a day. Wala was looking at him with eager eyes. The Supreme Emperor hunted the captives in the north. Yu Qian fought against everyone's opinions, stayed in the capital, prepared military affairs, and appeased the court situation..."
"Did Marquis Ren forget his merits and reputation in just one year?"
Chen Mao's voice sounded again, knocking on everyone's hearts.
The atmosphere in the study was unexpectedly depressing. No one expected that Chen Mao would have such an attitude.
After a brief pause, Chen Mao seemed to realize that it was inappropriate to say these words from his own position.
So, he sighed softly, glanced at Xu Youzhen and Zhu Jian next to him, and said in a slower tone.
"I just want to say that you can't blind your eyes to the affairs of the court. During this period, Yu Qian has indeed been impeached a lot in the court. He previously prevented the emperor from replacing the chief military officer of the Miao Conscript. Now he does not avoid suspicion and recommends his close associates to join the Ministry of War. Each and every one of these things seems to arouse doubts in the DPRK and China."
"However, Ren Hou must not forget that Yu Qian's reputation is not in vain. It is accumulated step by step through his official reputation and political achievements for decades. These things are not just some vague rumors or vague rumors. Something that can be shaken.”
"It has only been more than a year since the civil engineering incident. Many scenes at that time are still vivid in the minds of all the officials in the court. It is unwise to rely on this method to bring down Yu Qian!"
Everyone looked at each other, all lost in thought.
At this time, Ren Li also looked a little confused and said.
"Of course what Uncle Ning Yang said is reasonable, but it's hard to explain this kind of thing. Although Yu Qian has merit, but in the end..."
"What exactly?" Chen Mao raised his eyes and asked, "What does Marquis Ren want to say, the higher the skill, the more likely it is to shake the master?"
Ren Li was choked up at the beginning of his words. He didn't know what to say for a moment, but he didn't want to lose his momentum by just nodding, so he simply turned his head and stopped talking.
But his ears pricked up involuntarily. He was really wondering, could it be said that Yu Qian had taken power to such an extent that he was not afraid of the emperor's jealousy?
Chen Mao shook his head, a little disappointed, and said nothing.
But this time, Zhang Min on the side seemed to have remembered something, looked at Chen Mao, and asked thoughtfully.
"Brother Shunqing wants to say, Yu Qian's... support?"
Chen Mao nodded, and many people present reacted as if the window paper had been pierced.
Yes, high merit will indeed shock the master, but for some skills, even if the master is shocked, he can only be promoted to a higher position.
On the surface, Yu Qian's contribution was to stabilize people's hearts during the turbulent times, move the platoon south, and protect the Sheji Ancestral Temple. However, secretly, he also had the contribution of supporting the new king.
At that time, the emperor was hunting in the north, and the court was leaderless.
After making peace with Vala, he took the Supreme Emperor back to preside over the overall situation, let the prince take over the sacred weapon, or support the eldest king to succeed him. This difficult decision was placed in front of everyone, and no one dared to make such a decision rashly.
It was Yu Qian who stood up, braved the disapproval of the world, discussed the emperor with his ministers, and insisted on supporting King Tan as the emperor, which led to the current situation in the court.
Although that small meeting was not brought to the table, Yu Qian's achievements cannot be denied.
With such a piece of credit, it no longer matters whether the emperor is afraid of him or not.
Unless Yu Qian really raises his troops to rebel, the emperor will not be able to do anything to him even if he seizes power again.
Taking a step back to think about it, if the emperor was really afraid of him, he might even indulge his ambitions.
Because only if he really takes action can the disaster be completely eliminated.
Wanting to arouse the emperor's fear of him, and then prevent the military settlement, is completely the opposite and impossible to work!
At this time, Ren Li was finally speechless.
However, at this moment, Zhu Jian on the side spoke.
"Uncle Ning Yang is exaggerating. Yu Qian's merits are true, but the court has always made clear rewards and punishments. Yu Qian deserves the reward for protecting the country, but it is also a fact that he has taken power now. Everyone has made mistakes. If they have made mistakes, they should be impeached. There is no talk of overthrowing them. Take down?"
So, this is the advantage of not speaking clearly.
Obviously Zhu Jian meant this, but after being refuted, he could retort without changing his expression.
However, Chen Mao didn't follow this trick and glanced at Zhu Jian coldly and said.
"I don't like your convoluted ways as scholars, so you should stop blocking my mouth with these high-sounding lies."
"You and I are gathered here now to discuss a solution. If Mr. Zhu insists on making such sophistry, I'm sorry that I don't have time to accompany you here!"
Arguing with words and quoting scriptures are the strengths of civil servants, but as a military minister, Chen Mao was not unable to deal with it.
Based on his experience, the best way is to flip the table.
If you don't want to talk it over, don't say it. Otherwise, going around with these people will only cause trouble for yourself.
Sure enough, Zhu Jian's expression suddenly froze.
However, it was only for a moment that he seemed to have thought of something. He stared at Chen Mao without blinking and his brows widened again.
Chen Mao felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him and couldn't help but frown.
"Does Mr. Zhuge have anything else to say?"
Zhu Jian thought for a while and didn't rush to speak. Instead, he stood up first, cupped his hands towards Chen Mao upright, and said.
"Uncle Ning Yang, calm down!"
This action confused everyone present, and even Chen Mao seemed a little hesitant.
After a moment, Zhu Jian straightened up and said seriously.
"Ningyang Bo is a hero of She Ji. He won the title in hundreds of battles. He devoted his whole life to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he has respect for Yu Qian, who is also a minister of She Ji. I can understand that today, in this place and this scene, Ning Yang Bo can say I admire you very much for these words!"
"but……"
Zhu Jian slowly calmed down, looked around and said.
"There is no right or wrong in the dispute over the court situation. As Ning Yangbo said, Yu Qian's reputation is accumulated over decades of political achievements. If this is the case, then every mistake he makes is also the same. It will accumulate on you.”
"Just now, Uncle Ning Yang said that I used high-sounding words to block his mouth. It was really a misunderstanding."
"Everyone, as Uncle Ning Yang said just now, we are gathered here to discuss a way to stop the court discussion, not to bring down Yu Qian."
"Therefore, the impeachment of Yu Qian for seizing power and the impeachment of the Ministry of War set off a civil and military dispute. They have the same goal, so why bother worrying about which method to use?"
Chen Mao's expression froze, but he didn't refute again.
These civil servants are indeed sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued!
In other words, Zhu Jian's words revealed Chen Mao's true thoughts.
It is true that Chen Mao was indeed a member of the Supreme Emperor's party, but in his whole life on the battlefield, the thing he despised the most was the intrigues in the court.
A position is a position, but he respects Qian as a person.
For Chen Mao, it was nothing to stop the court meeting. He had also done the invasion and occupation of military camps. If the court meeting passed, it would also be troublesome for him.
However, if you want to throw dirty water on Yu Qian and prevent him from being unfairly accused, it will inevitably remind Chen Mao of his own experience. Naturally, he will be unhappy and speak out to stop it.
Most of the people present were unaware of this thought, but it was obvious that Mr. Zhu Ge, who had been in the cabinet for some time, finally noticed it.
After seeing it, he is a rebel general!
"Yes, there is no conflict between the two. It is entirely possible to impeach him at the same time. Even if Yu Qian is fine in the end, it will still be useful in stopping the court discussion!"
With Zhu Jian's suggestion, Marquis Ren finally came to his senses, his brows relaxed, he put his hands on his hands and smiled.
Seeing Chen Mao's head turned away gloomily, Zhu Jian smiled and said nothing more. He just took two steps back and sat back again.
However, after such a session, Lord Ren's confidence has recovered a lot, he said.
"Everyone, there is not much time until the court meeting. I wonder if the second master and the young master have gained anything in the past few days?"
Once the reasons and methods have been found, the most important thing is naturally the human game.
Without enough strength to support it, no matter how good the reason is, it is useless.
After hearing this, Zhu Yi thought about it and said.
"In the past few days, I have also visited several uncles. They are also quite doubtful about the rectification of military camps. If Marquis Ren can really stop the court discussion, they will naturally be happy to see it happen."
This is what I said...
What does it mean to be happy to see success?
Ren Li's expression was a little ugly, but he also knew that now that Chengguo's palace was in decline, and the incestuous relationship with the various palaces was limited, it was normal for Zhu Yi to be cautious.
After thinking about it, he still didn't say anything directly. Instead, he turned to Zhang Xi and asked.
"Second Master?"
Zhang Shi's attitude was much clearer and he spoke.
"Don't worry, Marquis Ren. These days, I have visited all the mansions that I should visit in person. I can convince as many as I can. If this matter is so big that it is brought to the court, we will definitely oppose it." ,only……"
Ren Li's eyelids twitched, and he obviously noticed something was wrong, and asked: "But what?"
Zhang Min, Zhu Yi and Jiao Jing looked at each other and then said.
"However, there are still some doubts in the minds of several mansions, and they feel that there is no need to go head-to-head with the Ministry of War above the court discussion. After all, if it gets too big, the situation will be difficult to control, and no one can estimate the consequences."
"Furthermore, the young master has received news that the Ministry of Rites has been delaying the ceremony of the East Palace Prefecture recently. It seems that he has received the order from the palace..."
Seeing Zhang Xi's hesitant expression, Ren Li's face suddenly turned ugly.
He knew in his heart that if he wanted to stop the court meeting, his current strength alone would not be enough. He must win the full support of the British government and the Chengguo government.
Originally, he thought that since everyone had the same interests, nothing would go wrong. Earlier, Zhang Shi had always been opposed to court discussions.
But who would have thought that when things came to pass, both houses would be so hesitant.
His brows furrowed involuntarily, Ren Li looked around in silence, subconsciously feeling that something happened that he didn't know about.
However, now that things have come to an end, it is time to bite the bullet. After thinking for a moment, Ren Li spoke.
"Does the Second Master mean that he is afraid of the Ministry of War and wants to be slaughtered? Don't forget that stopping this court meeting was... agreed upon together."
