However, Zhang Jia resolutely beat back part of the memorial! There is no doubt that this part is the method used by civil servants to test Zhang Jia's bottom line! And it is foreseeable that this temptation will gradually escalate until a new balance is formed!
When the two sides first started to get along, everyone in the court was watching with cold eyes, wanting to see how the new internal minister would act? Not only those who were criticized, but those who were rejected also had detailed reasons written in the memorials! This makes all the cabinet ministers feel at ease!
For example, Zhang Siwei said: "But I didn't know that this companion has such an exquisite mind and is so stable in doing things! If he is like Feng Daban, there is no need to be so wary of him! It would be a pleasure to make acquaintances as soon as possible!"
He said these words in private in front of his subordinates. Although he sounded calm and composed, he was just praising Zhang Jia. But if it falls into the ears of caring people, it will not be the case!
We must know that the reason why Zhang Juzheng is far more powerful than the other chief ministers is simply because Feng Bao supported him! Only by contacting Empress Dowager Li through Feng Bao can we vigorously suppress the emperor! Otherwise, Zhang Juzheng would be unable to do many things under the constraints of the internal minister!
Therefore, many people are wondering whether Zhang Siwei also wants to imitate Zhang Juzheng and make friends with internal officials! Then replace Zhang Juzheng and become the new first assistant? But this is not an easy thing to explain! But fortunately, the battles between civil servants are not as direct as those between eunuchs. Even if these words reached Zhang Juzheng's ears, they only caused him to think for a while!
But Zhang Siwei’s men understood in this direction! So many people tried their best to contact Zhang Jia and send generous gifts to clear the way for their benefactor! However, another advantage of Zhang Jia came to light at this time, that is, he would never accept any gifts from anyone and would return them all! But he was praised for being a scholar-bureaucrat! .
When these words reached You Qi's ears, he said with a smile: "Do you know why I didn't go and give gifts to Zhang Banban? That Zhang Banban was doing business in partnership with Wu Ninghou, and his family was as rich as gold and silver, so he sent him many gifts." It can move his heart! It’s better to do things down-to-earth, which will make him, the eunuch with a pen, happier!”
Everyone was convinced when they heard this, so they all took things more seriously! So during the period when the two parties were getting along, there wasn't any big trouble, but they worked well together! Let the government go through the period after Feng Bao's death smoothly!
Seeing this situation, the officials of the imperial court were still celebrating! Even the elders praised Zhang Jia! So the two parties met many times when they were working in the palace, and they always talked happily! It's just that Zhang Jia strictly abides by what Liu Haojia warned him, which is to only talk about business matters and not mention anything else!
This made the elders feel that they had nowhere to start and at the same time they felt much calmer! Once the upper levels calm down, the people below will naturally relax too! As a result, the battle between Jin Yiwei and the civil servants gradually became calm!
Just less than three months later, the servant suddenly sent Liu Haojia a letter! This letter came from the Jin Yiwei who was working in the Yamen of the Ministry of War!
Liu Haojia frowned when he opened the letter! After he finished reading the letter, he said to his servant: "When was this letter delivered?"...
The servant said: "It was delivered yesterday evening!"
Liu Haojia calculated that the Jin Yiwei who was on duty had to be off duty before he could deliver the letter, but his identity was just a small flag, and the letters he sent had to be screened. Even if the department he was guarding was quite important and had priority, then it was just right when it was delivered to him! It seems that the people below who screened the news were diligent and made no mistakes!
So he said to his servant: "You go and do two things! One is to reward the person who screens the letters with a few taels of silver, and then find this little flag on duty. I want to ask him something!"
The servant agreed and left, and an hour later a Xiaoqi was brought to Liu Haojia's room! When Xiaoqi saw Liu Haojia, he was already shaking with excitement, even twisting his body when giving a salute! It’s no wonder that Xiaoqi lost his composure, because he really regarded this meeting as a ladder to great success!
The Jin Yiwei itself is responsible for supervising all officials, so the news from various ministries and yamen cannot be let go! So Jinyiwei arranged a system called sitting on duty! that is
They openly placed people in each government office to monitor them, and even sent someone directly to the minister's home!
This person does nothing but sits there all day long observing what other people are doing! This job may seem like a leisurely job, but it’s actually very unpleasant! After all, no one likes to be watched! Especially those who work in ministers’ homes are the most unpopular!
Moreover, this person sits in the yamen all day without going out. Without foreign work, there is no money to be made. He can only receive a fixed salary, and it has to be withheld!
And staying alone in an unpopular yamen will naturally not bring any good results! A frown or a cold look is light, even a loud scolding is common! When the civil servants were strong, the Jinyiwei who were on duty not only had no leisure, but were also ordered around like coolies, and they were not allowed to complain!
Therefore, it is extremely difficult to get useful information in this situation! Especially in a yamen full of opposing personnel, the Jin Yiwei on duty is as if he is alone in an enemy country. Where can he get any useful information? So they have no merit at all, let alone get rewards!
Therefore, no one wants to go to this position, which is located in thousands of households everywhere. Only the most unlucky and unpopular people in department stores, or those who have made mistakes, will be assigned this job! So when Xiaoqi heard that the commander wanted to see him, he almost fainted with excitement!
Liu Haojia saw Xiaoqi kneeling on the ground twisting and turning, but he finally managed to stabilize himself, so he didn't criticize him harshly. He could also understand this person's mood, so he waited until he knelt firmly before saying, "What's your name?"
Xiaoqi said in a trembling voice: "My subordinate Zhao Lianying has met the commander!"
Liu Haojia flicked the letter on his hand and said, "Zhao Lianying, I want to ask you, you said that Shen Shixing sent people to the Ministry of War to check official files for two days in a row, but there are some? Did he send people there today?"
Zhao Lianying said hurriedly: "This is true! The people from the Ministry of War were very harsh on our Jinyiwei. The subordinates didn't even have a place to sit! They had to find a place outside the warehouse, and they could see who was coming in and out. The subordinates looked It is clear that this man has been here to check the military files for two consecutive days! As for today, he is also here! He just arrived when the subordinates left the Yamen, and counting the time, he should not have left yet! "
