The Ming Dynasty's Spokesperson

Looking at Lao Tianguan outside the window, the Dongchao room became completely quiet again.

For a moment, it seemed that most people's minds stagnated and they briefly lost their ability to think.

They had many assumptions about the outcome of today's court meeting, but no matter who it was, they never expected such a big change!

Wang Tianguan looked at the stunned Dongchao room and said with a smile: "I just went to Huiji Gate to express my gratitude and passed by. You can continue and don't worry about me."

Today's host Yu Shangshu subconsciously asked: "What kind of favor is Lao Zhongzai going to thank?"

Through the window, Wang Tianguan replied: "A few days ago, I was ill and bedridden, and I had the intention of resigning. Then the emperor issued an order to comfort me and gave me an imperial doctor for consultation.

The emperor's kindness is as great as the rain from the nine heavens. After being bathed in it, my condition has improved greatly. How can I not go to the palace to express my gratitude in person? "

In the minds of the old court officials, there are too many flaws in Wang Tianguan's words.

The emperor's decree to express condolences to the ministers who were seriously ill was only a superficial form, similar in nature to the "three speeches and three concessions".

After the emperor's several consolation performances are over, the seriously ill minister who was comforted should really leave. But how can you, Mr. Wang, recover from his illness? This is completely inconsistent with the routine!

Moreover, the serious illness that left you, Lao Wang, bedridden for many days, would be cured by a visit from the imperial doctor. When did the imperial doctor become so skilled?

Who doesn’t know that the Taiyuan Hospital and the Imperial Kitchen have the same principle? In business, they don’t seek merit but seek no faults!

Wang Tianguan appeared outside the window and left after speaking, but the aftermath of the huge shock wave he brought was still shaking the east room.

At this time, the courtiers reacted one after another. Could this be malingering? Lao Wang faked his illness to earn money from the General Constitution?

Looking back, this routine seemed inexplicably familiar, as if I had seen it in a novel called "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

No way? There are still people copying political struggles based on a novel, and they seem to win?

Other courtiers were still in the mood to talk, but the Qingliu Party members collectively fell into unspeakable silence.

Allowing Sun Piyang, the censor of Zuodu, to make an exception and transfer the minister of the Ministry of Personnel to the Ministry of Civil Affairs will definitely cause some criticism and damage his reputation.

So the essence of this matter is to seize the crucial official minister at the cost of reputation.

Now that Sun Piyang was caught and publicly ridiculed by Zhou Yingqiu for a long time, he had already paid for his reputation, but his position as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was gone!

After waiting for a while, Zhou Yingqiu said to the host, Yu Shangshu: "Da Situ! The court discussion is not over yet. Please continue the discussion. Should we make an exception and move Sun Piyang to be the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?"

Everyone: ""

Editor Zhou, what you said is a bit heartbreaking, how can you continue to discuss it?

Wang Tianguan is living a good life, so what reason do others have to fight for the title of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?

It's like trying to kill a family, you have to wait until the person dies first. It would be extremely immoral to start eating before people are dead.

Seeing that no one else was talking, Zhou Yingqiu went directly to Sun Piyang, "Everyone gathered here today because of Sun Zongxian. It's up to you to tell me how it will end?"

Most of the time, it was his colleagues who came forward, and Sun Piyang, as the "party", hid behind to avoid suspicion.

But under the current situation, being forced to express his position by Zhou Yingqiu's name, Sun Piyang had no choice but to avoid it.

But Sun Piyang himself was hit harder than anyone else just now, and he lowered his head and fell into autistic state.

After all, he is the worst one now. Even if he is not ruined, his character and reputation have fallen to the bottom.

What was originally a normal officialdom battle turned into an act of taking advantage of someone else's illness and trying to forcefully seize someone else's official position through unconventional means.

At this time, Sun Piyang seemed to have lost his sense of the outside world, and he didn't know if he heard Zhou Yingqiu's speech.

Zhou Yingqiu glanced at Yang Junmin, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who was very active just now, and said with a sneer:

"Someone seems to have said, what if Sun Zongxian wins Long Wangshu? And they also said that anyone can impeach Sun Zongxian how they want!

Is this the attitude a Zuodu censor should have? Mr. Sun, might as well say a few words? "

Yang Junmin's words that were supposed to be very domineering seemed to become very funny in a different context.

This is the winner and the loser, and losing is the original sin.

Wang Yusheng, the censor who had been clamoring to impeach Sun Piyang, stood behind Zhou Yingqiu and shouted loudly:

"Grandpa Sun, resign! As long as you resign on your own initiative, I won't have to impeach you anymore!

In this way, Mr. Sun might be able to preserve part of his reputation, maintain the dignity and honor of the Zheng Erpin Academy, and escape unscathed!

And your disciples and old friends will not be shamed by you and will not be affected by evil remarks! "

Everyone in the officialdom can hear that the meaning of these sentences is that as long as you, Sun Piyang, resign on your own initiative, there will be no more political pursuits.

However, this tune always feels familiar to everyone.

After Sima Yi cheated on Cao Shuang in the Three Kingdoms, wasn't this what he said to Cao Shuang when he persuaded him to surrender?

Sun Piyang, who was still autistic, seemed to have found a way out, raised his head and said: "That's it, that's it, there is nothing to miss about the official position, I will..."

"No!" Yang Junmin yelled unbearably, stopping Sun Piyang from continuing.

How can you resign voluntarily? The organization needs this Zuodu censor very much!

At present, among the seven ministers of the Ministry, the only one left from the Qingliu forces and the Shanshan-Shaanxi Alliance is the Zuodu Yushi! It is absolutely impossible to lose it again!

As long as you shamelessly stay in the position of Zuodu Yushi, given the current situation, the emperor will not remove you!

Compared with the interests of the organization, your personal honor and disgrace, Sun Piyang, are nothing!

Even if you are infamous for this, even if you become a disgrace, you must stay in this position!

After being stopped by Yang Junmin, Sun Piyang became autistic again and fell into a daze.

Why is it becoming more and more difficult to be an official in the imperial court?

Zhou Yingqiu laughed "haha" twice, then looked around and said: "After the spring of next year, the Beijing inspection plan will be held every six years.

Is a Zuodu censor who works hard and attempts to transfer officials and officials illegally still qualified to participate in presiding over the capital inspection?

If the Ming Dynasty doesn't care about decency, then we can't even give up our underwear, right? "

Yang Junmin was like a volcano erupting, and he sternly scolded Zhou Yingqiu: "Why do you have the nerve to mock Mr. Sun?

Then Wang Shizhen deceived the court by pretending to be ill, wasn't it shameless? Can such a scum character be able to preside over the Beijing Police? "

Zhou Yingqiu retorted unhurriedly: "Just now Wang Laozhongzai said that he was cured by the imperial doctor under the care of the emperor Hong En, so how can he pretend to be ill?

Secondly, no matter what Wang Laozhongzai's condition was before, no one forced you to recommend Sun Piyang to replace him.

If you could restrain yourself, why would you let Sun Piyang be criticized by thousands of people? "

Don't worry about whether others have set traps. If you don't have greed in your heart, how can you be fooled?

Yang Junmin couldn't make any noise, so he shouted: "People are doing it, God is watching!"

It seems to be an angry remark that often appears in quarrels, but to the ears of those who are careful, it always seems to mean something.

What does it mean that God is watching? Implying that your party used malingering methods to deceive even the emperor?

The emperor wanted to make an exception to show his dictatorship, but you Lin Party ruined the emperor's good deeds. There will be no good results!

Some sensitive people glanced at the imperial guards in the corner. At court meetings, there are usually imperial guards watching.

Zhou Yingqiu snorted coldly in her heart, what the hell! Man, I've long been disenchanted with the emperor's sanctity!

But he responded: "God's will is elusive and unknowable, and it was you who first tried to mislead God's will with human power!"

After saying that, Zhou Yingqiu left with disdain. At this point, there is no need to say anything more.

Wang Yusheng, the imperial censor, also said to Sun Piyang: "I have often heard that you pride yourself on your reputation and your integrity, and flaunt your integrity. When I see you today, it's nothing.

Mr. Sun likes to take care of himself, so he can resign at any time before the end of the year, otherwise I will try my best to impeach you. Lu Guangzu is a lesson to you! "

Hearing these words, other courtiers suddenly felt that the biggest loss for the Qingliu Party members this time might be the collapse of their moral body.

You must know that the Qingliu forces are united by flaunting morality as a gimmick, and use a strong sense of moral superiority to boost the morale of the camp.

I am justice, and my opponents are all evil. This is the belief of the Qingliu Party members.

In the past, no matter what the situation was, the Qingliu Party members could always find ways to justify themselves on a moral level, but this time they were able to be shameless in order to retain their power.

Unknowingly, the Lin Party was able to force the Qingliu Party members to this point.

In the last month of the 20th year of Wanli, the biggest suspense of the imperial court may be whether Sun Piyang, the censor of Zuodu, will resign.

Even if he didn't resign, he would be a zombie with all his prestige lost, and he probably wouldn't be able to preside over the capital inspection.

There are still people who are repeatedly pondering whether the "Tianguan malingering" before the Beijing Chaos plan was a "ingenious plan" left by Lin Tailai, or was it the independent performance of other members of Lin's party?

This court discussion ended hastily.

On the other side, when Wang Tianguan came to Huiji Gate and presented his gratitude to the clerk of the Supervisor of Liters, he shocked the officials of the Supervisor of Liters to a crisp inside and out.

They knew that foreign affairs had been very involved in recent years, but they never imagined that it had reached this level.

If the political struggle methods of civil servants have developed to this level, then their internal ministers are already far behind!

The eunuch Zhang Cheng hurried to Yude Palace, and when Emperor Wanli woke up at noon, he reported the latest situation.

Emperor Wanli was stunned. He was just thinking about using his power to appoint a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, but he was interrupted. He felt quite unhappy.

"Who dares to deceive the sky?" Emperor Wanli asked with a little anger. What two groups of bastards!

What kind of malingering is being done by a group of people? Although the original intention is to target others, the emperor himself was almost deceived.

The other group is even more trash, deliberately leading the emperor to his own end, trying to use the imperial power to seize the official minister, but they are completely unable to handle the matter!

Zhang Cheng didn't know how to answer for a while. The entanglement here was really complicated.

"Your Majesty, it's better to leave them alone." Zhang Cheng finally sighed and replied. No matter who it is, he's still a bastard.

Moreover, he already felt that the sanctity of the imperial power had been seriously shaken by the repeated abuses by Jiajing Wanli's ancestors and grandsons.

Perhaps in the minds of many ministers, the emperor was just a tool used to fool people.

But thinking about it, Zhang Cheng didn't dare to say it even though he was the eunuch in charge of the ceremony.

Daring to tell such a truth will only make the emperor angry and chop himself first.

Since the emperor was unhappy today, he had to find an outlet. Then Emperor Wanli asked again: "Apart from Sun Piyang, who was elected on the other side?"

Zhang Cheng replied: "Wang Hongjie, the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing."

Emperor Wanli vented his emotions and said: "Find an excuse to depose him!"

Let you bastards fake illness! I'll destroy one of your own people and make you feel bad!

After such a major political struggle is over, the Renewal Society will also hold a summary meeting.

On the night of the court meeting, except for the Prime Minister Zhao Zhigao and the Ministry of Personnel Wang Shizhen, the members of the Renewal Society in Beijing secretly gathered at the sparsely populated Wang Xiangmeng's residence.

Grand Marshal Ye Mengxiong asked Zhou Yingqiu: "You said before that you reported some confidential matters to the Prime Minister that could not be communicated. Are you referring to Wang Tianguan's illness?"

Zhou Yingqiu replied: "Jiuyuan Gong has instructed that we firmly oppose free and undisciplined behavior; how could I dare to handle it without the authorization of Senior Zhao?"

Grand Marshal Ye smiled bitterly and said: "I really didn't expect that even we were kept in the dark."

In consideration of the noble status of Grand Marshal Ye, Zhou Yingqiu explained a few more words: "In order to conceal the opponent, we have to narrow the scope of knowledge as much as possible, and we have to do it."

Ye Mengxiong said again: "I'm just curious, Wang Tianguan faked illness Whose idea was this?

Was it Lin Jiuyuan who planned this, or was it you, Zhou Yingqiu? "

Zhou Yingqiu answered without hesitation: "Of course, Lord Jiuyuan is resourceful and well-thought-out. He secretly left a brilliant plan for the situation of the Beijing Inspection long before he went on the expedition.

If we want to judge the merits for this, the greatest achievement should belong to Lord Jiuyuan!

I am just the specific executor, organizing and implementing the plan according to Lord Jiuyuan's plan.

Luckily, we have fulfilled our mission and taken the lead in the upcoming Beijing Inspection. We will expand the power of our fellow practitioners next year!"

Ye Da Sima looked at Zhou Yingqiu meaningfully. So Zhou Yingqiu is still the one making trouble? If you don't deliberately shout slogans, I will really believe it.

As a newcomer who joined the Renewal Society relatively late, Ye Da Sima can now finally understand why Zhou Yingqiu, a grassroots from Jintan County, Zhenjiang Prefecture, can stand out and overwhelm Wang Xiangmeng, a close relative of the Lin family, Chen Yunjian, Wang Yusheng and other Suzhou folks, and become the leading figure when Lin Tailai is not in the court.

Then Ye Mengxiong asked: "What's the matter with Wang Honghui from the Nanjing Ministry of Personnel? Why do we recommend him on the surface? Is he our colleague?"

Zhou Yingqiu replied without emotion: "I don't know him. I just wanted to pick a minister in Nanjing to recommend.

It just so happens that Wang Honghui's resume seems to be the most suitable, and the recommendation is the most realistic and can scare others the most.

If something goes wrong, I won't feel bad if he takes the blame."

Ye Mengxiong: ""

Fuck! What is a political machine without humanity? I have seen it today.
