Some people may wonder, how could this person be demoted even though he has already become the Minister of the Ministry of Justice? This is really the case! Because Nanjing has been used as a companion capital since Zhu Di moved the capital. So there is a complete set of court teams there, but they
But they have almost no rights! That is to say, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Etiquette are busy with some things, while other departments are very free!
So on the surface, this team in Nanjing is the reserve force of the imperial court, but in fact, they are composed of officials who have been demoted, but still want to shine in the court one day and are not willing to give up! They
Sitting in Nanjing waiting for one day to return to the court of the capital, although most people know that this is impossible, they are still willing to wait!
But Liang Xihan’s choice is very strange! After being promoted to Minister of Justice in Nanjing, he worked very diligently for three to five years, and then resigned and went into seclusion and disappeared! No one in the world knew that he was now in a manor on the outskirts of the capital.
Lived in!
The last person, who is also sitting on the right side of Zhang Qida, is slightly fat and looks fat. Although the long beard on his face looks like he has tried hard to take care of it, trying to turn the beard into five strands of long beard, it is obviously
Failed! So his face looked like Zhang Fei with a long beard!
But if anyone thinks he is a military general, they are wrong! This man's name is Chen Qiaodong, his ancestral home is Fujian, and he is a descendant of Chen Wenlong, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty. Chen Wenlong was the deputy prime minister in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Min Guangxuan's envoy, and his posthumous name was Zhongsu.
The highest official who died in the anti-Yuan Dynasty in Fujian history!
Chen Qiaodong himself was also a Jinshi. His family did not have much land but he was good at running it. He came from a wealthy family. He himself once served as the prefect of Zhejiang. After leaving office, he resigned and returned to his hometown. After that, his name was rarely heard. As a result, he
also appears in this room.
After everyone sat down, Lin Huaiying picked up the tea cup and sniffed it gently before saying slowly: "The tea here is indeed better!"
Zhang Qida said nonchalantly: "If Brother Yucai likes this tea, ask someone to send you some tea! Anyway, you have many disciples, so why do you need to make such a gesture?"
Hu Zhiyu, who was standing next to him, said with a smile: "You don't know this. Taking other people's things is his favorite thing! Do you think he can't get this tea?"
Everyone burst out laughing after hearing this, and then the person who was laughed at was unwilling to accept it, and went to expose the shortcomings of others, triggering bursts of laughter! It can be seen that these five old people who look like they are dying are still very energetic.
!
After laughing for a while, Zhang Qida said: "Okay, okay! Stop joking now! If I accidentally laugh to death in a while, what will I do if my descendants come to ask me for help?"
Liang Xihan said with a smile: "Don't worry, Man said these people won't die in a short time. Even if they die, no one will come to you for help!"
Chen Qiaodong said: "You are not afraid of death. You always talk about death. Maybe you will really die one day. Are you willing to give up everything you have now?"
These words made the warm atmosphere slightly lowered. Zhang Qida sighed and said: "If you want to say that the scenery is worse, Yue Lin is the most powerful! Forget it, we should get down to business! Let me tell you one thing first. You should all have heard about Uncle Gu Ning.
Is there something related to the arrangement of the second son of the government and Jinshang?"
Lin Huaiying said: "I'm afraid many people in the capital know this. What do you think of this matter?"
Liang Xihan said in a deep voice: "I don't think there is anything to worry about! I know everyone is worried about the comeback of nobles! But I don't think a small Gu Ningbo Mansion can stir up any trouble!"
Chen Qiaodong said disdainfully: "I think that's the case too! Today's nobles have been completely turned into pigs. Occasionally one or two who try to counterattack can't resist the general trend and are of no use!"
Hu Zhiyu said: "That's right, it's just a lucky addition! Now the court is in the hands of us scholars, and a kid can't stir up trouble! So I think there is no need to mention this matter again!"
Zhang Qida said: "Since everyone thinks so, let's discuss the real thing! Let's talk about Zhang Taiyue's reform in the current capital!"
Lin Huaiying said: "His actions are not considered reforms, right? I think he still has some rules in doing things. He doesn't know the harm of eager changes!"
Chen Qiaodong said: "Actually, he is really reforming! It's just that this little guy is too flexible, so he doesn't make people angry! I see, in a few years, he will be able to quietly change the personnel in the court.
Change it once, and by then he will no longer have any scruples in doing things!"
Liang Xihan twisted his beard and said: "I noticed what you said! It is said that he was very close to Feng Bao and was extremely respectful to Empress Dowager Li, so Empress Dowager Li also turned towards him! If you think of it this way, he is really an amazing person.
My junior!"
Chen Qiaodong sneered and said: "You have already taken the position of chief minister, how can you be a simple person! How can you not be very skillful!"
Hearing this sentence, the five people present were silent! The reason is very simple. As literati, none of these five people have the idea of becoming a prince or prime minister! But they have no chance in this life, so when they see a person in their eyes
How can you not feel sad when someone who is still very young takes the stage?
After a while, Zhang Qida was the first to retract his thoughts and said: "Everyone, everyone, don't go off topic! We are gathered here today to discuss his reform!"
Hu Zhiyu said: "Is his reform really a foregone conclusion?"
Zhang Qida said with certainty: "It's almost a foregone conclusion! According to the feedback from our people, he already has a quite huge plan. Although it has not been fully unveiled yet, it is enough to prove that he has the determination and ideas to reform!"
Lin Huaiying said: "It's not necessarily a reform, maybe he just wants to straighten out the government affairs!"
Recalling the memory, he said with a sneer: "That's possible! If he does things too smoothly in the front, he will naturally become public in the future! Who knows if he will have any thoughts that he shouldn't have?"
Zhang Qida raised his hand and said: "Don't say this again! You should know our rules. Only talk about things, not speculation!"
Hu Zhiyu said: "He has now begun to clean up the court, and he is also promoting people who agree with his opinions. Once he stabilizes the court, he will probably take action!"
Liang Xihan said: "How long do you estimate it will take for him to fully control the court?"
Hu Zhiyu thought for a moment and said: "Just two more years! At most two years, there will never be a single voice against him in the court!"
