There was no one around the cabinet duty room.
It was because Yu Qian and Li Xian had a quarrel.
And it is also a national event.
The two people were so excited that they would inevitably tell something confidential.
Wang Wen in the cabinet immediately asked everyone to leave.
When leaving, Wang Wen saw Xu Youzhen squatting in the corner.
He took two cabinet ministers up and dragged him away, which made Xu Youzhen very angry, but most of the ordinary cabinet ministers were young and strong, and he was no match for them, so he could only let them drag away.
But after leaving, Xu Youzhen didn't want to shoot, quietly walked away, and went directly to Qianqing Palace to report to Zhu Jianshen.
I was extremely excited along the way, as if I was close to becoming the leader.
In the room, Yu Qian was sitting at the table, his face looking very ugly.
Li Xian also turned his back to Yu Qian, panting.
After the two were silent for a while, Li Xian finally spoke: "To Taibao, do it with caution, do it with caution. Do you really not know your situation now?"
"As long as I behave uprightly, sit upright, and feel no guilt in my heart."
"Do you know how big a deal it is to reform the tax system? Your Majesty is not yet in charge. If something happens, you will be the target of public criticism, and your life or death will be uncertain."
"But if you come back to do these things after His Majesty takes charge, Your Majesty will take care of it for you. If there is a problem, at most you will be dismissed from office and return home." Li Xian looked at Yu Qian and said earnestly.
Yu Qian is taking risks.
Li Xian couldn't watch Yu Qian fall into the abyss with one careless step.
"In the eighth year of Chenghua, you brought a group of officials to see His Majesty. Your tone was serious, and what you said was a little too much. This has long been spread in the court. Although Your Majesty is young, he has a heart of forbearance since he was a child. Hundreds of people in the court Officer, who is not waiting for His Majesty to take charge of the government and let you end in despair?"
"Don't you know how to hide your clumsiness? You are lustful and greedy for money. You do these things. If you don't do these things, if you don't add stains to yourself, it will be a stain in His Majesty's heart."
"You still have to change the tax system now. The tax system has been around for a hundred years. How do you change it? Even if it is changed, so what. After His Majesty takes office, he can turn your reform into nothing with just one sentence. An empty word.”
"Yu Taibao, if you want to have a worry-free old age and a worry-free life after death, you must not do this."
After hearing what Li Xian said, Yu Qian's heart did not fluctuate much, but he asked: "But doesn't Li Fuchen think there is a problem with the current tax system?"
"If there is a problem, that is something that can only be done after His Majesty takes charge. Before he takes charge, we can only take care of the house temporarily for His Majesty. We cannot change it at will. Otherwise, we will overstep our authority and seek death."
"Do you still remember what Li Fuchen said to me back then?"
"What are you talking about?" Li Xian was slightly stunned.
Yu Qian's expression became gentler: "The country is the first priority, followed by oneself."
"When did I say this to you?" Li Xian's expression changed. This sentence did sound familiar, but when did he say it?
Yu Qian looked at Li Xian's confused state and said slowly: "You told me that you and I have lost our original ambitions, and we have more considerations. Because of all kinds of considerations, we can only let you and I People are always fixed in one place and are unwilling to move forward, because we only need to follow the steps and we will never make mistakes. I, Yu Qian, have been granted the title of Grand Master and have been favored for generations. You, Li Xian, can also be ranked as a minister. , even after death, we will be treated favorably by His Majesty, but are these really what we want? As ministers, shouldn’t we put the country first and ourselves second?”
"Yu Taibao, you have such a good memory."
"What a good memory..."
"But Yu Taibao, you have to think clearly. You are not the only one. Your whole family and your son-in-law Zhu Commander may all be implicated because of this matter."
"Things have to be done, but this is not how they are done. How many people have been successful in reforming laws since ancient times? Changing the tax system is equivalent to taking away the wealth of many people, including the officials who are following you now. Such a big thing, only Only if His Majesty proposes it first can we do it..."
As he spoke, Li Xian looked at Yu Qian's half-smiling expression, and he seemed to understand something.
Has Taibao Yu communicated with His Majesty?
"Your Majesty, do you know?"
"Your Majesty knows."
"Then His Majesty will let us be the vanguard."
"No, not a pawn, but a lone warrior."
Li Xian sat blankly on the chair and started brainstorming.
Yu Taibao told His Majesty about the tax system, and the Emperor agreed. Does that prove that his guess was correct?
Your Majesty is really fed up with Taibao.
I want to treat him as an outcast and let the power of officials push him down and remove this stumbling block to pro-government.
Over the years, His Majesty has always been very thoughtful, and the incident in North Korea is proof of this. By defeating the Taibao in this way, his reputation will not be damaged, and he can quickly take charge of the government. It can be said that he kills two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, Li Xian glanced at Yu Qian, but in the end he still did not dare to say what he was thinking.
"Yu Taibao, I really thought about it."
"Of course, if you want to benefit the country and the people, why not do it? Put the country first and yourself second."
Hearing these words, Li Xian couldn't hold himself any longer.
Yu Taibao is really stupid and naive.
Your Majesty wants to get rid of you...
"But is Yu Taibao really confident?" Li Xian said softly.
"have."
"Didn't Yu Taibao think too much about it?"
"No."
Yu Qian was still very determined. Looking at his appearance, Li Xian couldn't hold back anymore and wanted to tell his guess.
But at this moment, the door was pushed open.
Zhang Bao stood outside the door.
But Zhang Bao's expression was very wrong.
"Li Fuchen, your Majesty has summoned you."
Li Xian glanced at Yu Qian blankly, then stood up and said, "Eunuch Zhang, I'll go right away."
"No, Li Fuchen, come with me now."
Zhang Bao said in a tone that left no room for doubt.
Li Xian's heart moved. Could it be that Zhang Bao heard what the two of them just said.
But Li Xian didn't panic. He stepped forward and walked out of the room first. Then Zhang Bao turned and left without speaking to Yu Qian.
Yu Qian also felt something was wrong.
He clearly revealed to Li Xian that it was His Majesty's intention, so why was he even more nervous.
At the beginning of the eighth year of Chenghua, the political impact caused by the Jingyan dispute was probably limited to only two parties involved.
Most officials believed that Yu Qian would fall within two or three years.
The Xungui Group obeys His Majesty's words, and the Civil Service Group has a huge force with rat shit Xu Youzhen as its core.
As long as His Majesty is determined, whether it is to arrest someone directly or defeat him in a fight in the court, it can be done easily.
Likewise, Zhang Bao was included among these people.
Because in Zhang Bao's view, Yu Qian had indeed gone beyond the limit. His majesty was diligent and studious, and felt that the Jingyan course was useless. However, he ordered the banquet to be stopped, but Yu Qian said that he was a coward. This made Zhang Bao intolerable.
That is to say, after the Jingyan dispute in the early eighth year of Chenghua, Zhang Bao became increasingly alienated from Yu Qian.
Maybe in his heart, he also felt that Yu Qian was slowly developing towards a powerful minister.
In a word, I can't recognize the position clearly.
As for the reaction and association of officials above the court, it is also a kind of follow-up. A person who reads Xiudou will definitely not be aware of it, but the smarter the person, the more he will think a lot.
And this kind of remarks that Zhu Jianshen wanted to take action against Qian also came from the mouths of smart officials.
At this moment, Li Xian felt that the road to Qianqing Palace was very long.
Why did His Majesty summon me?
Want to win over yourself and let yourself deal with Yu Qian?
What should I do if His Majesty really lets me deal with Yu Qian.
Don't want to do it?
But if he pretends not to understand, will he end up like Yu Qian?
This Yu Qian is really a fool. When he went to Qianqing Palace to train His Majesty, he himself had advised him.
But he didn't listen.
You are His Majesty's teacher.
But you are also His Majesty’s subject.
If you regard yourself as a teacher and forget your identity as a subject, wouldn't you be asking for your own death?
"Li Fuchen, I heard some of what you two just said."
Li Xian raised his eyelids lightly and glanced at Zhang Bao: "It's just a conversation about government affairs."
"Do you want His Majesty to be on your lips when talking about government affairs? Li Fuchen, don't forget that you are the auxiliary minister that the Empress Dowager found for His Majesty, just to contain Yu Qian."
"Don't forget your responsibilities..."
"Don't worry, Eunuch Zhang, I will not forget this. But since Yu Taibao devoted his whole life to the Ming Dynasty, he deserves to have a happy ending."
Yu Qian organized the victory in the defense of Beijing, and naturally became the teacher of the young emperor. The Empress Dowager did not want to see Zhu Qiyu stay in the capital, so she decreed that Yu Qian should be appointed to take charge of the cabinet, but she also found an opponent for him. , that’s Li Xian...
"Whether there is a good death or not is not something you and I can decide."
"However, Your Majesty is merciful. Yu Taibao will definitely have a happy death, but if you are involved with him, it is hard to say whether it will happen or not." Zhang Bao stopped and looked at Li Xian and said every word.
Because of Zhang Bao's statement, Li Xian's thoughts became firmer.
Who knows Zhu Jianshen best?
It was not the Empress Dowager who lived deep in the palace, nor Yu Taibao, but the eunuch in front of him, Zhang Bao.
Has His Majesty made up his mind...
"Hey, this will only harm His Majesty's reputation..."
"These are not things we should consider. There is Xu Youzhen. Doesn't Li Fuchen look at Xu Youzhen as a treacherous minister who harms loyal ministers? I think he looks like Qin Hui. History books will only record that the treacherous minister Xu Youzhen took advantage of the emperor's youth. , deceived the Holy Heart, condemned Yu Qian, and when His Majesty comes of age, he will have a bronze statue of Xu Youzhen kneeling in front of Taibao's tomb, which is still a good name..." Zhang Bao said coldly.
In the center, friendship is the most ridiculous thing.
Before Zhu Jianshen was ten years old, Zhang Bao and Yu Qian had a good relationship. Everyone knew that, but now the relationship has declined rapidly.
However, Zhang Bao, Li Xian, Xu Youzhen, and even the entire court went astray...
A beautiful and terrifying misunderstanding......
