No one wants to do a full-time job but has to do a deputy job. Pan Yongjian doesn’t want to, and Tian Yongwang certainly doesn’t want to either.
But compared with this, political security is more important, and the safety of his family and descendants is also more important. Tian Yongwang would rather be a deputy to be safe and to protect his family and descendants.
"That's what I said..."
Tian Yongwang thought about it, but still couldn't overcome the threat of the Great Purge, so he shook his head and sighed: "Let's end this matter. If you are interested in seeking a higher position, you can give it a try. I think I should stick to it step by step. It’s better, I’m not dissatisfied with the current situation.”
"Old Tian, you're not that bad, are you?"
Pan Yongjian was even more disappointed: "Are you really willing to step on the ground and become a stepping stone for others? You have no idea at all? We are the first heroes to follow His Majesty in revolt, and we are different from them."
"Of course I don't want to be a stepping stone, but I'm even more unwilling to make mistakes."
Tian Yongwang still shook his head and said slowly: "Qiao Feng's matter, Ludian's matter, a lesson learned from the past, a teacher for future generations, Lao Pan, I will say this. I will not mention this matter to anyone, and we have not met today. Come on, you can take care of yourself."
With that said, Tian Yongwang left a bag of copper coins as today's meal money, then stood up and left.
Looking at Tian Yongwang's leaving figure, Pan Yongjian's heart was full of reluctance and contempt for Tian Yongwang.
"It's not against the law and it's not against the ban. Even if you find out, what can you do to me? You don't dare to do this kind of thing. No wonder we old people from Jiangnan are stepped on and looked down upon by those who come after us!"
Pan Yongjian spat and decided to break off all relations with Tian Yongwang and never interact with him again.
Even without Tian Yongwang, he doesn't have other friends.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Although Qiao Feng and Lu Dian were eliminated, the old people in Jiangnan will only become more determined to stick together for warmth, unless Su Yonglin is really willing to kill all the old people in Jiangnan.
If Su Yonglin didn't have this idea, then don't blame them for constantly moving forward to fight for their own interests.
Of course, the argument of fighting for one's own interests does not sound good, and it is difficult to convince the public.
If Su Yonglin doesn't pick the sweetest fruit under their fire and enjoy it, other fruits cannot be moistened by them, otherwise Su Yonglin will stand on their opposite side and cut off their hands.
Therefore, their goal is to make Su Yonglin corrupt and degenerate, and become a real emperor and one of them. For this reason, it is crucial for his son to become the prince and heir.
Originally, Pan Yongjian's idea was to start with Zhao Zuoliang, win over Zhao Zuoliang as his number one ally, and make this senior state father an important assistant to him.
However, Zhao Zuoliang had no interest in power at all, and he would never make friends with any court officials or members of the Renaissance Society. His detached and independent attitude made him very depressed.
He also gradually discovered that the third great purge that had just passed had indeed brought a huge shock to the court and the Renaissance Society, sweeping away the nepotism network that had just gained some momentum but had not yet been fully formed, so that the pace of the old people to unite was blocked. He interrupted abruptly.
Not to mention whether Su Yonglin could be corrupted by a solo fight of this scale, safety could not even be guaranteed.
Pan Yongjian wants to win over helpers, and he needs some helpers very much. He needs to achieve a coalition of political forces under Su Yonglin's nose, and this is not easy.
The previous attempt failed, but he had no intention of backing down. Now that those rumors had been released and a public opinion offensive was formed against Su Yonglin, he had no intention of turning back. This time, he had to seize the opportunity.
He did his best to push Su Yonglin's eldest son Su Zeying to become the crown prince and Su Yonglin's heir, and to consolidate the Su family dynasty. This was more important than anything else.
Based on his observations since the news spread during this period, he found that some of the remaining Jiangnan old people's groups are also more concerned about this issue, and even some mid-level and senior officials who came from behind and cadres of the Renaissance Association are also more concerned about this matter. focus on.
They were curious about how Su Yonglin would face the issue of heirs, and wanted to know who Su Yonglin would choose to be his heir, which would directly affect the future of Ming Dynasty.
Is it a country of monarchy or a country of democracy?
For a time, the attention of both the government and the public was focused on this matter.
It seemed that few people could understand the meaning of the news spread by Su Yonglin. They didn't know that this was Su Yonglin's last warning to some people, so when he received feedback from Tian Guizi, Su Yonglin was very depressed.
"I asked them to read more and read more, but in the end no one knew what I meant. I don't know where they read the books. How can the world that is gained immediately be governed immediately? You have no knowledge and no skills. !”
Su Yonglin reluctantly admitted that the people under his command were deficient in academic accomplishment, so he gave up using this high-end suggestion method and decided to speak more clearly.
But before Su Yonglin decided to speak openly, a piece of news came out.
There were discussions within the imperial court to let Su Yonglin's son take over his position and power.
When Su Yin brought the news to Su Yonglin, it was obvious that Su Yonglin became very abnormal after hearing the news, as if he was suppressing anger.
"Where did the news first come from?"
"Ministry of Staff."
"sure?"
"Very sure, Official."
"Who specifically?"
"It's unclear at this time and the investigation needs to continue."
"good."
Su Yonglin nodded: "We must investigate this matter to the end and dig out the person behind it."
"clear."
Su Yin nodded and left quickly.
After a while, Tian Guizi came and brought news that Su Yonglin already knew.
He also felt Su Yonglin's anger.
"Obviously, your last warning was not taken seriously by others. They may have thought that you were learning how to be a complete founding emperor, and they were complacent about it, thinking that initiating such a thing would make you happy."
"How can I be happy?"
Su Yonglin said coldly with a livid face: "I feel more and more now that our real enemy is not somewhere, not in a foreign country, but right here, right here in Zhongdu. There are people who want to make some noise in a steady stream. There are constantly people trying to summon the spirits of the old era!”
"Then what are you going to do now?"
Tian Guizi looked at Su Yonglin: "Do you need me to do anything?"
"Now that they have set their sights on Zeying, it means that they are no longer our comrades at all, and they want to go back to the past."
Su Yonglin's eyes became extremely cold: "Since you like going back to the past so much, let's just let them stay in the past. Let's stand still and see how many people want Zeying to be the prince. One by one, all of them. They’re bastards! They’re all moths!”
"Luring the snake out of its hole?"
"Well, lure the snake out of the hole and let them fight! Let them quarrel! I want to see how many people want to summon the souls of the old dynasty!"
Su Yonglin clenched his fists, his heart filled with majestic anger.
In fact, even if Su Yonglin didn't want any quarrels to arise within the court, the quarrels within the court had already begun.
Ever since the news of [Su Zeying becoming the crown prince] came out, it has caused a small-scale controversy within the court.
As time goes by, the scale and frequency of these disputes become larger and larger.
The initial debate actually took place in the Ministry of Personnel. Li Le, a member of the Department of Examination and Examination, and Zhang Xueming, a member of the Department of Conferment Verification, had a heated debate on this issue.
