Four hundred and fortieth chapters a childish person
Hearing Li Zisheng's words, Li Yu gave Fang Yingwu a helpless smile. But when Li Zisheng caught a glimpse of Fang Yingwu coming in with Li Yu, he didn't stop talking and kept talking.
"As Na Wan'an said, there are currently three important positions vacant in the imperial court: a cabinet minister, a censor of the capital, and a minister of the Ministry of War. Among them, he only values the two positions of cabinet minister and censor of the capital, so at least one of the two positions is
To get one.
At present, Wan An and Liu Jue, the second assistant, are in a stalemate over their respective recommendations for the cabinet position, and the imperial censor is not completely sure about it, so neither of them can let go easily, lest the bamboo basket will be empty, and neither side will fall."
And I said to Wan'an, I guarantee that Peng Hua, whom you recommended, will be able to join the cabinet, and you can let go of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and don't worry about Dai Jin's life or death. How about leaving the Imperial Censor to my fellow countryman?"
These kinds of secrets that ordinary people could not know were narrated from Li Zisheng's mouth, which made Fang Yingwu dumbfounded. He was not surprised by the secrets themselves, but he was surprised by Li Zisheng's attitude. This Li Zisheng was simply
Just like a proud little rooster, or like a little kid showing off his "baby".
Li Yu sighed secretly and asked flatteringly: "According to you, in this battle to join the cabinet, Peng Hua, the scholar of the Hanlin Academy, will probably defeat Yin Min, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"
Li Zisheng was "very dissatisfied" and interrupted Li Yu's rhetorical question: "It's not probably, but definitely! The decree will come out in the next two days. It must be Peng Hua recommended by Wan Shoufu to join the cabinet!"
Li Yu continued to ask flatteringly: "But how can you guarantee this? The emperor may not be willing to listen to your opinion on such a big matter as the selection of Prime Minister."
This question seemed to scratch an itch in Li Zi's province, and he replied with a seemingly incomprehensible answer: "Because I said something to the emperor. I said that Yin Min had been in the official position for more than ten years, and this time he was trying to get into the officialdom.
Ge. It seems that he is greedy and doesn’t know what he will do!”
Fang Yingwu thought about this sentence carefully and felt that Li Zisheng was a little smart for being able to thrive...
The Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the political power and is recognized as the head of the external dynasty. He can be said to be the most powerful minister of the external dynasty, and is also considered to be on the same level as the inner court ministers.
Li Zisheng said that a civil servant who had been in charge of personnel affairs for more than ten years wanted to join the cabinet and become prime minister. Is he greedy? What is his intention? When the emperor heard this, he would be surprised if he didn't murmur in his heart...
Of course, the most critical thing is that Li Zisheng can say these weird words in front of the emperor casually. Others would not be able to see the emperor if they want to say this, or dare not say so if they can see the emperor.
Fang Yingwu thought to himself, although Li Zisheng sounded like he was bragging, he was not bragging. With one sentence, Yin Min, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was blocked from moving forward, so naturally it was Peng who was supported by the chief minister Wan An.
Hua has entered the cabinet.
At the same time, it was reasonable for Wan'an to reciprocate Dai Jin and give up the position of censor of the imperial court to Li Yu. No wonder Li Yu, although he did not agree with Li Zisheng in his heart, still had to entertain him carefully.
Li Zisheng suddenly turned to Fang Yingwu and asked: "Master Fang, how did I handle this matter?"
Fang Yingwu knew full well that Li Zisheng asked this question on purpose, just to hear a few words from him that would satisfy his vanity.
But Fang Yingwu thought for a moment and then said: "Now that the emperor is lazy in politics and the power of the cabinet is getting more and more important, both China and foreign countries regard him as the prime minister! How can Wan Shoufu not know which is more important? So in Wan Shoufu's heart, he recommended himself
Having someone in the cabinet is a top priority, so that it is easier for him to exercise authority.
But before, Wan Shoufu and Liu Cifu each chose one person, and it seemed that they were at a stalemate, but if you think about it carefully, it was different. Wan Shoufu was indeed more important than Liu Cifu, but Peng Hua's qualifications were much lower than Yin Minqian, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
The influence is much smaller. Therefore, Wan Shou and Peng Hua are even at a disadvantage compared with Liu Ci and Yin Min, the Minister of Civil Affairs."
Li Zisheng didn't understand what Fang Yingwu meant for a while, and frowned and asked: "What do you want to say when you are so confused?"
Fang Yingwu continued calmly to Li Zisheng: "Therefore, in order to break the disadvantageous situation, Wan Shoufu must find a way to take advantage of other places. Intervening in the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is an act of taking advantage of the opportunity, and it is to borrow your power.
Potential!
He clearly knows that you want to push Li Zhongcheng to be the censor, but he insists on pretending to fight to lure you to negotiate with him. In this way, he takes the initiative, and then guides you to pull chestnuts from the fire for him and stop Yin Min.
Enter the cabinet!
All in all, I think this Wan Shou Fu calculated very shrewdly, led everyone into the trap, skillfully played with his hands, and finally achieved his goal. He is worthy of being the first auxiliary!"
When Li Zisheng heard Fang Yingwu's call, he sat blankly in his chair and remained motionless for a long time. Could it be that, as Fang Yingwu said, he was actually being plotted and used by Wan'an? Could it be that his cleverness was in the hands of a shrewd person?
Not enough in your eyes?
Suddenly, Li Zisheng suddenly stood up and walked out without saying hello. Watching Li Zisheng leave, Fang Yingwu was dumbfounded and asked Li Yu: "He's leaving now? Why did he see me?"
"
Li Yu couldn't laugh or cry about this, "I don't know... maybe it's just out of curiosity and wanting to see what kind of person the Tiger of the Capital is. Maybe there's another possibility, as if someone wants to impeach you on a large scale, and he wants to help you."
Set things straight."
Fang Yingwu laughed dumbly, "He didn't ask me first if I needed help? Besides, he helped me, what can I give him?"
Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief when Li Zisheng left, and his expression became obviously relaxed, "Listening to what he said, it seems that His Majesty appreciates your poems, and maybe he wants to exchange a few of them from you."
Putting aside his prejudice against Li Zisheng as a scholar, Fang Yingwu had to admit that Li Zisheng was really a person with a "childish heart"...
It is precisely such a childlike person that makes the introverted otaku emperor treat him as a friend and be willing to talk to him freely. But to the scheming courtiers, the emperor is too lazy to talk to him and refuses to waste a word.
See you half way.
But the biggest problem is that Li Zisheng is indeed smart, knows how to prepare a way out for himself, and is keen on cultivating connections. However, he is too wishful thinking in cultivating connections, and does not care whether others appreciate it or not.
Just like he took the initiative to recommend Xu Pu, Xie Qian, Liu Jian, and his father Fang Qingzhi, but would these people accept his favor? Even today's Li Yu probably doesn't approve of him in his heart. As the saying goes, different ways do not correspond to each other.
seek!
It is a pity that people with childlike innocence can only thrive under the special background of Emperor Chenghua. Once the environment changes, they will only die miserably.
Today was the second time that he heard rumors of his impeachment from others. Fang Yingwu could only sneer at this. He was looking forward to it. Who would jump out?
PS: Well, I’m still contemplating the details below, so let’s make a transition.
