, Yiqing took this list of people asking for leave and looked at it one by one.!

There is one minister, three ministers, in addition to twenty-four officials at the level of chief minister and Yuanwailang, two young ministers, two ministers, and seventeen imperial envoys...

These people are just the tip of the iceberg.

The real boss is not the imperial court, but the pro-military army.

The relationship between the Qinjun and Xu Qian has always been close. At least this overt and covert collusion of interests was no longer a secret before the start of the New Deal. In the past, Xu Qian was not on the stage, so everyone only regarded him as a partner.

But now, having climbed to the top of the Household Secretariat, Xu has suddenly become very popular.

There are more than 60 military attaches in the Twelve Guards of the Pro-Army, and there are more than 60 military attachés in households of 1,000 households and above, among which the Jinyi Guards and the Jinwu Guards are the largest. In addition, there are also many military attaches from the five major battalions of the capital, and there is even a warrior battalion.

Looking at the shocking names one by one, Yang Yiqing even suspected that he and Yang Tinghe had made a wrong move in this move. This Xu Qian should not be allowed to come back at all. This guy is no longer Wu Xia Amen.

"Should these people who asked for leave be punished? They are so blatant..."

Yang Tinghe calmed down. Although he felt a hint of worry after feeling calm, he planned to Yang Yiqing said: "What to do? There must be a reason for dealing with it. There is no need to break up with each other for this kind of thing."

Yang Yiqing frowned and said: "Some of them took sick leave, but they ran to greet Xu Qian. Isn't this deceiving the court?"

Yang Tinghe smiled bitterly: "Don't forget that when you came to Beijing, everyone took sick leave to greet you. There is no need to make a big deal about this kind of thing. If the lot is drawn, it will be of no benefit to anyone. As for these people

, just follow them."

"The most important thing now is to let Xu Qian take charge of the Household Department and see how he cleans up the mess in the Household Department. If he cleans up the mess, it will be easy to talk about it. If he doesn't clean it up, it won't be too late to criticize him."

Yang Yiqing had no choice but to sigh quietly and said: "At first it was a dispute over academics, and then it was a dispute over etiquette. But now, the party struggle has really begun."

There is some philosophy in his words.

The beginning of the academic dispute was not just a simple dispute between schools, but because different voices began to appear within the imperial court. After this voice appeared, it then appeared on the stage in the name of academic dispute. As the strength of the different voices grew, they

Already unwilling to give up on the scholar-lin war, since they had some political resources in hand, the academic dispute expanded and touched the key Confucian Temple, and then the etiquette dispute began.

But now the real party struggle has officially begun, which means that the strength of these people has begun to gradually grow and is enough to compete with each other. Therefore, Yang Yiqing can foresee that just like the struggle between the old and new parties in the Song Dynasty, it started with academic struggle, and then finally

It has entered the most acute and cruel period of conflict.

They will revolve around the future direction of the Ming Dynasty, represent their respective class interests, and engage in the most brutal competition in the temple.

None of the officials in the imperial court are immune. No one can be the same as before, and it is impossible for both sides to be ambiguous and flattery. The winner will have the power of the world, the power of the government and the opposition, and determine the direction of the Ming Dynasty in his own ideals.

To advance, those who lose will definitely suffer the cruelest blows. At worst, they will be ruined, at worst, they will be relegated to the outside world. At this point, they will no longer have the opportunity to covet the national weapons and enter the center.

Yang Tinghe cheered up: "You are right. I have never encountered such a dangerous situation in my career. Now, it is time to deal with these people." He looked deeply at Yang Yiqing.

: "You and I should get through this difficult time. Only by completely eradicating the royal party can we clear our name."

Yang Yiqing nodded heavily.

Xu Qian's boat arrived at the dock not far from Chaoyang Gate, where hundreds of civil and military officials had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Xu Qian appeared, countless shouts came out.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Chang stepped forward, took Xu Qian's arm, and laughed and said: "Father, I have been waiting for a long time to meet all my uncles."

The most speechless thing about Xu Qian is that in terms of political status, he has become a leader-level figure, but in terms of age, he really can't make a difference. He is a dignified minister of household affairs and has met all his uncles. How can this be embarrassing?

It's just that at this time, the Xu family should keep a low profile. Xu Chang understands this, and Xu Qian also understands this.

He went to the pier and visited all his uncles and elders one by one. Everyone either smiled and nodded, saying "Sir, you are polite," or they did not dare to accept Xu Qian's gift and said, "Sir, the gift is too heavy, and I don't dare to deserve it."

There were princes and nobles, some military officers, and a group of officials headed by Zhang Zilin who came to pick him up. By the time everyone had seen the ceremony, the hour had passed.

Xu Qian was stunned. He had rarely encountered such a scene. He was afraid of encountering such a scene when he returned to the capital that day, but he didn't expect that he would still be unable to escape this knife after arriving in the capital! "If you extend your head and shrink your head, it will still be a knife."

It seems that it is not easy to be the Minister of the Ministry of Finance," Xu Qian thought to himself.

Everyone was already shouting: "Master Xu is tired from the journey. Let's take Master Xu home."

Xu Chang also grabbed Xu Qian and said, "Look, my uncles are considerate of you. Why don't you thank me quickly? The sedan chair is ready. Go back and have a rest."

Xu Qian shook his head and said, "My son still has something to do."

"That's right." Xu Chang slapped his head and said with a smile: "I almost forgot that you have to go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. His Majesty treats you with great kindness, so you should go to the palace first."

Many people are very envious of Xu Qian's holy family, and they all feel that it makes sense. Although they are tired now, it is reasonable to go to meet the holy family first. After all, Xu Qian is not another official, and his situation is very different from others.

Xu Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Of course I have to go to the audience, but... I still have something to do before the audience."

Xu Chang said angrily: "Is there anything more important than an audience?"

Xu Qian said seriously: "My son wanted to pay homage to Master Liang. After hearing the bad news about him in Zhejiang, he felt uneasy and came to Beijing this time..."

"Bastard!" Xu Chang lost his temper. Although he was in front of so many people, he still couldn't hide his anger.

How did Liang Teng die? This was because he offended the palace staff and died. Xu Qian worshiped Liang Teng, saying that he was affectionate and righteous, but didn't he think about what the palace would think if he knew about it?

?

Even if you have a personal relationship with Liang Teng, you can choose to worship at other times. No one will care about you anyway. But when you just came back, you went to worship Liang Teng first before going to the palace. Doesn't this mean that Liang Teng died unjustly?

, Liang Teng was beaten to death by the palace. If he was unjust, then the emperor made a mistake.

Zhang Zilin and others had mixed feelings after hearing this. In fact, Liang Teng's death made many people feel sad, but they all tried their best to endure it and did not dare to explode. Now Xu Qian's suggestion just aroused their concerns.

Although they felt that what Xu Qian did was very to their liking, intellectually, they also felt that it was very inappropriate. Zhang Zilin forced a smile and said: "Yes, what Xu Qianshi said is right. If you want to worship, you can do it anytime."

Go, don't be in a hurry. Mr. Xu has just arrived in Beijing, so it is best to meet with His Majesty first.

Such was Xu Qian's temper that even ten oxen could not hold him back from what he was sure of. He said sternly: "Let's worship first and then talk about it. Don't try to persuade me anymore. I understand your thoughts, but if Mr. Xu doesn't

I went to pay homage, but I still felt uneasy in my heart.

The husband behaves openly and aboveboard, and he is not afraid of others' gossip. If someone takes advantage of it to criticize him, there are things that a man should do and things that he shouldn't do. He can't do what he shouldn't do with a knife to his neck. He can't do what he should do even if he goes through fire and water.

You shouldn’t frown.”

He looked at Xu Chang and almost begged: "Dad, please let your son be willful for a while."

On the pier, everyone was silent.

They agreed with Xu Qian's behavior in their hearts, and many even hoped to be as unruly and unrestrained as Xu Qian, but decades of officialdom had worn away their temperament.

Many people sighed in their hearts, but they did not object.

Xu Chang just shook his head and remained silent.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Xu Qian immediately raised his hands to all the gentlemen and said: "Xu will bear in mind your love for me, but now Xu has to do something that he shouldn't do. Please forgive me. Xu will do it in the future."

There will definitely be a banquet in the mansion to entertain all the gentlemen, and then we can chat."

This means that Xu Qian doesn’t want to inconvenience everyone in this matter, so please come back.

Some people couldn't bear to say: "Your Excellency dares to go, why don't I dare? I have always respected Mr. Liang, so why not go?"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and many people said one after another: "Yes, I want to pay homage to Mr. Liang. Mr. Liang took good care of me, and I am willing to go with you."

"Go together, go together..."

People are like this. No matter how smooth a person is, his emotions will inevitably become irrational when he is infected. Xu Qian did not object, got into the sedan chair, and ordered the bearer to go to the Liang Mansion.

Many people got on their horses and got off their sedans one after another, some were still hesitant, but most people ordered to follow Xu Qian's sedan.

These hundreds of sedan chairs, like a long dragon, were all headed towards the Liang Mansion.

The Liang family was originally in mourning. The eldest son, Liang Song, had already ordered his family to pack up his gifts and prepare to return home. After Liang Teng's death, the Liang family suddenly fell into decline and became a marginalized figure in the capital. Liang Song met

Although I feel sad and angry about this catastrophe, there is nothing I can do about it.

At this time, the disciple came to report that it was the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, as well as various princes, marquises, and many officials from the imperial court who came to visit. Liang Song was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do.
