Guo Xun, who came to Nanjing, was the one whose attitude was most tested.
Suddenly kicked out of the Shenji Camp that had been reset by his own hands, what is Guo Xun's attitude towards Yang Tinghe and the New Party today?
You are an honorable minister! A born royalist!
Nanzhili can be called the real hard power base of the old party. There are countless people who want to visit the new Nanjing garrison.
However, except for the initial necessary procedures, Guo Xun has been closing the door to thank guests since then, as if he is afraid of trouble.
"Think about it, when did Wu Dinghou leave the National Policy Conference?" In a private house in Nanjing, a man wearing white Taoist robes said, "After the Guangdong and Guangxi cases! Guo Xun's previous post was the General Military Officer of Guangdong and Guangxi , Chen Jin is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi!"
"Brother Lu, you mean that Marquis Wu Ding is controlled by Yang Jiefu?" Someone asked in confusion, "But Marquis Wu Ding is an honorable minister after all!"
"The Zhang brothers are the brothers of the Empress Dowager, so what's the outcome?" Someone didn't take it seriously, and then said to Brother Lu in white, "Brother Lu, what is going on now? You Lu family can't get it from Lu Qianshi. Any news? If your Majesty has a secret edict, it must come from Lu Qianshi."
Brother Lu sighed: "I, Lord Heng of the Lu family in Pinghu, have moved to Beijing for nearly a hundred years. Lu Qian is staying in the imperial palace and cannot leave the palace. At this time, I can only do my best to serve His Majesty with one or two old ministers. about."
"The traitor is so domineering, so much so!" Someone slapped the table in anger.
The man named Lu was a member of the Lu family in Huzhou Prefecture. In the south of the Yangtze River, the Lu family was a large family, with famous figures throughout the Han, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties.
The Pinghu Lu family was originally just a branch, but now because of Lu Song, a descendant of the Pinghu Lu family, the role of the Pinghu Lu family suddenly became crucial.
In recent years, Lu Jian, the current head of the Pinghu Lu family, has enjoyed considerable respect from all clans.
Now Lu Jian said to another person: "Brother Gu, you and the Marquis of Xining are related by marriage. Didn't the Marquis of Xining say something?"
The head of a branch of the Gu family, another large family in Jiangnan, smiled bitterly and said, "How dare you speak nonsense?"
"The Marquis of Xining is coordinating the defense of Nanjing. Even if it is official business, we should also visit the Marquis of Wuding to find out more."
"... In the name of my mother's birthday in two days, let's invite the Marquis of Xining to come over and talk about it."
There were such restlessness and private discussions in many places in southern Zhili. Yin Mengchun's mansion in Yingtian Mansion was full of guests since it was his birthday today.
In the study, next to Meng Chun were several officials from the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing and Shen Yuanqing, the head of the Shen family in Wuxing.
Meng Chun said calmly: "There is no need to worry anymore. The situation in the court must be an illusion. Your Majesty's reputation is not good, so he used the help to implement the new law. Yang Tinghe is riding a tiger and is unable to dismount."
"...Master, is there no chance of winning?" A certain director of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry was worried, "The imperial envoy has arrived, and the water conservancy project is urgent!"
"Just keep changing it." Meng Chun replied calmly, "Although it seems that everyone is united now, the new law has become a trend. As long as there is a spark, the world will be like a frying pan. The more urgent it is to clear up the water conservancy issue, the heavier the resentment will be. .”
"The most worrying thing now is the attitude of the relatives in Huang Ming Ji." Shen Yuanqing frowned and said, "The judgment of the Palace Master is just a guess after all. Everyone in the world thinks that Mr. Yang Ge has covered the sky with one hand. The vassals have scruples, Huang Ming Ji They almost have a monopoly on the profits of shipping on the southeast coast, and their money has attracted the hearts of their relatives. Although most of them may not know the truth, they dare not act rashly. Where did this spark come from? "
"Isn't the Great Heavenly Official supervising the case of Li Xiang's corpse impeachment?"
The pupils in Shen Yuanqing's eyes shrank and he stared at Meng Chun unceremoniously: "How can it be like this?"
"Huangdian Official Store, Huangming Ji Zhong's stock subscription, how much percent of the profits of each family of the ancestors accounted for it?" Meng Chun sneered, "South Zhili, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, these sacred places are where many ancestors The fundamental reason! For a hundred years, I have been among you, and you have been among me! Now, the whole world is waiting for someone to take the lead. This spark will not appear on its own!"
After saying that, he looked at another young man who had been silent: "I don't dare to say anything else. If this matter comes true in the future, it won't be a problem for your Zheng family to regain its former glory!"
The young man raised his head and looked at him: "Since the Palace Master thinks it is His Majesty's will, how can this be accomplished? Is it possible that the peace will be difficult again?"
He spoke bluntly, and there was a moment of silence in the study.
After a while, Meng Chun said: "Don't be deceived by the illusion of single-mindedness. Only weapons and names can't be fake. Your Majesty is stubborn and arrogant, and you will soon reap the consequences. Now all the vassals, nobles, officials and gentry are all I am worried that there are still practical studies that are disrupting Confucianism. You may wish to read this letter."
To directly say that the emperor is headstrong and arrogant, how outrageous is his attitude?
But he took out a letter, and after everyone circulated it, they all looked brightly.
Meng Chun stared at them: "Looking at the meeting between Japan and Japan, even if Li Xiang can enter the palace, he can still die under the drum of Deng Wen. How can he get away with being a guard? Since Hui Anbo dares to do this, he has naturally already had his mind to do it. Now there are consequences. As for the letter from the Holy Duke, you should know that things must be done.”
"...Hui Anbo actually made such a decision?"
Meng Chun smiled: "Since Hongxi, Uncle Hui'an has passed through five generations. Now that Uncle Hui'an is in charge of the five military camps, it depends on whether the eldest uncle and the chief minister will find out about Uncle Hui'an. It also depends on whether there is such a big event outside the walls of your majesty's palace. Your Majesty, do you want to investigate? If you want to investigate, the fact that Li Xiang's widow is the illegitimate daughter of Uncle Hui'an, Mingkun, you can advise your grandfather to tell the truth in order to avoid guilt."
The young man named Zheng nodded silently.
"The Taizu established the ancestral precepts, and many of the reasons are due to your Zheng family." Meng Chun put away his smile, "Now the old system is beyond recognition, and the world will always be in chaos! This spark will come out soon. No matter how much Your Majesty relies on, it will I can’t satisfy the world’s resentment!”
…
People like Lu Jian are still small people who can't see the situation clearly.
People like Meng Chun are already planning to really light up the fire.
When Guo Xun met Song Liangchen, the Marquis of Xining, he stopped covering up and asked directly: "What do you mean by coming to defend Nanjing?"
"I just trained the Shenji Camp!" Guo Xun looked sad and angry.
Song Liangchen looked at him with a complicated expression: "Brother Guo, I call you brother! I am also thirty-one. If you have been squeezed out to this point, isn't what you should do now to train the Nanjing guards to strengthen their troops? Collect some money and food in Guangdong and Guangxi How can you be punished with death for this matter?"
Being able to coordinate the defense of Nanjing, Song Liangchen was not stupid even though he had just taken over the throne.
Guo Xun sighed: "Why do you ask so many questions?"
"Nan Zhili is about to explode, what do you think?" Song Liangchen gritted his teeth, "Huang Ming Ji was set up by His Majesty! Although it was caused by Mr. Yang Ge's raid on Huangzhuang Huangdian, he sent his family members and stewards to Entering the capital, His Majesty's heroic appearance, the emperor's edict in the Ming Dynasty, so many honorable relatives in the Ming Dynasty, I have seen and heard a lot! Over the years, the world's honorable relatives, civil servants, those who are married, and those who have business dealings, don't you know that this is What a big net!”
Guo Xun said nothing.
Song Liangchen said anxiously: "Now that the water conservancy is being rectified, the vassal princes, relatives, officials and gentry will all be affected. If you go south to prepare to quell the chaos, the generals and commanders in Nanjing may not be able to put all their effort into it!"
Guo Xun still didn't speak.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? If you don't speak, I can't feel at ease. How can you expect other relatives?"
Guo Xun finally looked at him and said: "What our relatives want is loyalty. When you say this, are you afraid that I will tell His Majesty secretly?"
He finally revealed some information, and he can still secretly report to His Majesty.
Song Liangchen's mood was complicated: "It's the same sentence. I am coordinating the defense of Nanjing. Even if the central government has any plans, you can't let me not know about it!"
"Just obey my orders." Guo Xun said nonchalantly, "Do you obey my orders?"
Song Liangchen was extremely angry: "Of course I will obey orders! But what if there is chaos under my command?"
"Just cut it off."
"Can you survive? There's a commotion!" Song Liangchen looked like he was about to collapse. "There are still so many civil servants and gentry who are unwilling to give in!"
Guo Xun chuckled: "Here, let me introduce someone to you."
After that, he shouted to the door: "Brother Chang, come in."
Song Liangchen looked at this guard who looked like a soldier in confusion.
"Chang Xuanzhen." Guo Xun said to him, "after King Zhongwu of Kaiping."
Song Liangchen opened his mouth, and Chang Xuanzhen bowed his hands to him neatly: "I have met the Marquis of Xining!"
"……He He……"
"You have been practicing in my camp for two years! How is it? Do you have a little bit of Chang Gong's style?" Guo Xun looked a little proud, "After heroes like Chang, there are many more in my camp. Li Gong , Deng Gong and Tang Gong are all here!"
How could Song Liangchen not know that the so-called Li, Tang, and Deng should be Li Wenzhong, Tang He, and Deng Yu, who could be compared with Kaiping Zhongwu King Chang Yuchun.
Guo Xun patted him on the shoulder: "If someone rebels, just kill him. I have plenty of people to replace him. They all have to make meritorious deeds!"
Song Liangchen's eyes were a little dull: "...How many people will be killed?"
Guo Xun did not make any achievements in suppressing the bandits back then, and Dongnan had always focused on appeasing him. Now, because his son would not be demoted, his eyes were full of bloodthirsty: "Of course all the disloyal ones will be cut off! If the old ones are not removed, what will happen to the new ones?" Come? You are so smart anyway, you should understand that His Majesty has already arranged it!"
Song Liangchen was speechless.
Li, Chang, Tang, and Deng, who had not been promoted to the title for a long time, all appeared later. They had already been training in the Shenji Camp for two years. Thinking about Xu Pengju training for the Xiaoling Guards and Li Quanli training for the Yangtze River Navy to suppress bandits...
There is also the famous Jin Yiwei who walks through the provinces.
He shuddered: "There are many smart people! If there are still people who are unwilling to accept this, it will be a huge chaos!"
Guo Xun replied disdainfully: "It turns out you haven't studied His Majesty's dialectics more! Can't we just focus on the main contradiction?"
"...What is the main contradiction?" Song Liangchen thought, do you dare to talk about knowledge?
Guo Xun showed his teeth solemnly: "Outside of Guangdong, how many vassal kings and officials above the fifth rank are there in the world? Before the truth is revealed, everyone is the main contradiction!"
Song Liangchen took a breath of cold air: Is it possible to stare at everyone?
"...I don't believe it!" He really needed to strengthen his confidence now.
If this is the case, does Your Majesty still need to hide it and let Yang Tinghe stand up and suffer this?
Guo Xun glanced at him: "If you fully believe it, can you still call it loyal? That's just acting according to the wind!"
Talk about a sense of superiority like "I knew it".
Song Liangchen felt uncomfortable holding back.
He felt that Guo Xun must have been deceived. How could any emperor in the past have been able to keep track of the movements of all high-ranking officials in the world at all times?
Jin Yiwei used to keep an eye on the officials in Beijing, but it was inevitable that the officials in Beijing had been colluding with each other to plan many things.
Guo Xun must have charged forward foolishly after being deceived!
At this time in Zhejiang, Wang Shouren also expressed such doubts to Yan Song.
Yan Song didn't know what the so-called "main contradictions were all under scrutiny", but he said: "This matter is not difficult to understand."
The smart Wang Shouren looked at Yan Song doubtfully.
Yan Song smiled and said: "I was born by chance, and you have always had prestige. But are the talents and experience of many low-level officials in the world really much worse than those of high-level officials? The reform is such a big event, when it comes time to weed it, is it possible? Also carefully identify which weeds have roots that are a bit involved and dig them out carefully?”
Wang Shouren lowered his head and sighed: He is just not as cruel as Yan Song.
No, His Majesty is also very ruthless and resolute in this matter.
"Wang Hong has taken office. If there are changes in the southeast, we will still have to rely on Bo'an."
"...My father's death is still in April. What if chaos breaks out in these four months?"
Yan Song shook his head: "No, isn't this play just to confuse people? There are very few who are smart and bold, and there is nothing to fear from those who are confused and bold, let alone those who are confused and timid."
No trick can fool everyone in the world? It's nothing more than confusing those confused people.
Wang Shouren spent too much time on learning, and now he can feel what it would be like for a truly smart person to devote all his attention to planning and layout.
Wherever the fire was most likely lit by a smart person, the central government would have already arranged the person to extinguish the fire.
After a while, Wang Shouren sighed with emotion: "Since selfish desires are always changing, if you insist on being upright, you can only be controlled by others."
Yan Song deeply agreed and nodded with a smile: "This is a method that will harm the people in the smallest possible way. Once the weeds are removed, the world will be widened."
You know that the other party will try every means to stop it, but you still try to influence the other party just for the sake of being upright. Why bother?
Those who are smart and bold will immediately kill them all if they dare to jump out. The remaining ones will be intimidated and dare not move lightly.
Those who are smart and timid will always be smart. It is only right to avoid the limelight and think of ways to change.
The purpose of acting is not to cheat, but to take the initiative.
Nowadays, isn’t the world being led by the nose?
