The next day, Mr. Zhang Qian informed an official of the Ministry of War about the information he had found, and Zhao Nanxing soon found out.
So Zhao Nanxing came to Chen Younian again, reported the news and discussed the plan together.
Chen Younian was secretly grateful that he didn't act rashly again.
Otherwise, we will fall into a deeper quagmire.
He did not doubt whether a Xizhi doorkeeper would have such courage.
Even the eunuch and eunuch dared to commit suicide. What else is impossible in Xizhimen?
"So for now, we can only cut our losses first." Chen Younian said, "I will wrong you thirteen people for a while."
The attack is unable to continue, so we can only try our best to stop losses and protect ourselves to minimize our own losses.
Chen Younian added: "After all, we are already tired from the fighting, so it is relatively easy to negotiate a peace."
This is also true. There has been intensive domestic debate on impeachment and counter-impeachment for half a month. Dozens of relevant memorials are flying around every day, and everyone on all sides is exhausted.
The emperor probably just wants to keep his ears clean now, and doesn't want his ministers to bother him with the imperial books every day. Isn't it annoying to read dozens of relevant memorials every day?
It just so happened that the "loyal eunuchs" appeared this time and were able to suppress the group of people who had the loudest voices in support of the eldest son of the emperor.
As for the appointment of the third emperor as the Eastern Palace, let’s put it off for now and talk about it later!
Shin Si-hyung, who lives alone in the cabinet, probably just wants government affairs to return to normal operations, and not to have all the complicated matters weighing on him.
Moreover, he had to mediate dozens of memorials between the emperor and the courtiers every day, which was tiring.
As for who should be appointed as the Eastern Palace, put it off for now and talk about it later!
The situation is this situation, the situation is this situation.
In this regard, Zhao Nanxing raised a question: "The thirteen of us can accept the punishment to silence the public and avoid compromising our comrades.
So the trouble with the loyal eunuchs has been settled, but what if there are some loyal military attachés from Xizhimen who continue to name names and make a new list?
Are we still going to continue to accept punishment according to the new list from Xizhimen and continue to abolish our martial arts?"
The emperor and the cabinet can be settled with hands! But there is also Xizhimen
Chen Younian rubbed his forehead in an extremely distressed manner, "It's possible that you are worried."
After thinking for a while, Chen Younian found himself caught in a paradox.
If you want to negotiate peace, you must first settle Xizhimen; but if you want to settle Xizhimen, you need to negotiate peace first.
Zhao Nanxing got the information earlier and had more time to think. He put forward an idea and said: "Actually, the key now is to let Lin Tailai leave Xizhimen.
If Lin Tai didn't come to the scene to force or support, would the Xizhi goalkeeper still jump out to show his loyalty?
As long as Lin Tailai is removed, the Xizhimen problem will not be a problem!"
Chen Younian: ""
I don't know why, but my face hurts a little.
He was the one who advocated sending Lin Tailai to Xizhimen in the first place, and now he wants to find a way to get Lin Tailai to leave Xizhimen. Isn't this a slap in the face?
And it's not easy to get rid of Lin Tailai. Although Lin Tailai is just a soldier in the army now, he still has the strength to refuse unreasonable arrangements.
Many people, including myself, want to send Lin Tailai to Yunnan, Guizhou, Gansu, Guangxi and other places, but is that possible?
Moreover, in order to avoid Lin Tailai's interference, Lin Tailai was placed at Xizhimen in the northwest corner of the capital. However, in the end, Lin Tailai could not be avoided.
When Chen Younian fell into self-pity and couldn't extricate himself, the younger Zhao Nanxing was calmer.
"Regarding Lin Tailai's matter, we still need to contact Shen Wumen." Zhao Nanxing said.
Chen Younian said doubtfully: "Is Shen Wumen willing to take action?"
Zhao Nanxing said maliciously: "As the chief minister of the Wu family, he should take the overall situation into consideration and quell the disputes as soon as possible! Can he still sit back and watch the government be paralyzed?
Therefore, the Shenwu clan should persuade the emperor and appease Lin Tailai, otherwise his chief assistant is incompetent!
It is not convenient for us to contact Shen Wumen directly, but we are still friends from the Ministry of War, so we can use Shen Yongmao to communicate."
After Chen Younian thought for a while, he nodded and said: "You can give it a try. At least for the moment, we and the Shenwu Sect are willing to settle the dispute."
That night when Uncle Shen Yongmaoshen returned home and greeted Shen Shoufu, he said, "Father! Someone asked me to deliver a message to you today!"
Shen Shoufu frowned and scolded: "Speak seriously! Who did you learn this tone from?"
Shen Yongmao lowered his head and said "yes", and then continued: "They promised that all the thirteen people named on Liu Zhonglie's post would be demoted and punished with a month of self-examination behind closed doors, and they would never make any more troubles to overturn the verdict.
Then I want to put an end to the matter, stop making wild criticisms, and calm down the turmoil in the court."
Shen Shixing was delighted when he heard the words: "This is a good thing."
First, the court's operations have returned to normal, and I, the chief minister in power, can breathe a sigh of relief.
Second, when Xu Guo stepped down, Wang Xijue and Wang Jiaping were all stained and had not been washed away. From then on, they were sick in the cabinet, and it would be easier for them to be in the cabinet in the future.
Third, the thirteen members of the Qingliu force were demoted and suffered large-scale attacks and suppression. The pressure they will face in the future will be greatly reduced.
Fourth, when he was presiding over the cabinet alone, the voice of Zheng Guoben was temporarily suppressed, and the emperor subconsciously felt that he was doing things effectively.
??????55.??????
In other words, a ceasefire on the spot and peace negotiation on the basis of the existing front line will be of great benefit to you.
Then Shen Yongmao added: "But they also mentioned that Xizhimen is the biggest unstable factor in the peace talks. Only by asking father to take away Lin Tailai can we ensure that the peace will not be destroyed."
After hearing this, Shen Shoufu realized that he might have simplified things just now.
Shen Shoufu is very clear about Lin Tailai's core demands that he is bound to win.
To put it simply, there are two items. The first item is that Xu Cifu will step down due to the huge hidden dangers of being a master.
The second item formed a chain reaction based on the first item, pushing Zhao Zhigao to continue to ascend to the throne, either to join the cabinet or to become a heavenly official.
As for other conditions, they are incidental.
If the status quo is followed and a ceasefire is negotiated on the spot, then Lin Tailai will only fulfill the first of his core demands.
The second, more important item remained unchanged at all, and Zhao Zhigao remained unchanged.
So if there is a ceasefire and peace talks like this, Lin Tailai will definitely not give up.
Seeing that Shen Shoufu didn't speak for a long time, Shen Yongmao asked tentatively: "Father, what are you thinking about?"
Shen Shoufu asked back: "They want me to get rid of the restless Lin Jiuyuan for the sake of the overall situation. What do you think about it?"
Shen Yongmao replied without hesitation: "In my opinion, there is no need to consider it at all!"
"Why? What's the reason?" Shen Shoufu asked shamelessly.
After all, my son is more familiar with Lin Tailai, and even the stupidest person will have a sudden flash of inspiration.
Shen Yongmao said with certainty: "Father, you can't handle Lin Jiuyuan at all, so there is no need to waste time thinking about this!"
Shen Shoufu was furious. You can say that the old father doesn't want to, but you can't say that the old father can't do it!
You are seriously underestimating the strength of a chief assistant! Are you usually too lenient with you?
It's not that I have no other options. As long as I think about it, I can take Lin Tailai to the border town and seize the troops in a matter of minutes, and I can't resist!
Feeling the anger of Chief Assistant's father, Uncle Shen quickly said deeply:
"Don't you see, what are you doing to assist Xu Guo? I can't bear to see my father make the same mistake again!"
Shen Shoufu: ""
Just now, I just thought that I couldn't handle Lin Jiuyuan, but now I start to think that I will be killed by Lin Jiuyuan? Who gave you the confidence?
However, it is not unreasonable, at least it provides a perspective on the problem.
Shen Shoufu asked again: "Leaving aside Lin Jiuyuan, what do you think of their proposal for peace?"
Uncle Shen, still deep and knowledgeable, said metaphorically: "The Great Jin Dynasty told the Great Song Dynasty that if they wanted to negotiate peace, they must first kill Yue Fei."
Shen Shoufu sighed: "But this Yue Fei respects himself as a soldier and wants to interfere with his successor."
Shen Yongmao replied: "Then the emperor can change his mind. Why must he be Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty? Wouldn't Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty be the emperor peacefully for decades and then die a good death?"
"Go away!" Shen Shoufu couldn't bear to scold the big boy.
Shen Yongmao turned around and just walked to the door when he heard his father shout again: "Come back!"
Then his father ordered: "Go to see Lin Tailai tomorrow and tell him about the current situation and see what he thinks!"
The next day, Shen Yongmao did not go to work at the Ministry of War, but went directly to Xizhimen in the northwest corner of the capital.
Lin Tailai, who was lying in the tent, saw Shen Yongmao and complained: "The past two days have been a bit quiet, very boring!
You go back and tell your friends at the Update Society to come visit me more often!"
Shen Yongmao replied: "The reason why we are calm is because everyone wants to withdraw their troops and call a truce."
Lin Tailai asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, too?"
Shen Yongmao said: "My father asked me to ask you."
Lin Tailai snorted coldly: "My father should be very clear about my thoughts, so why ask even though you already know?
Either let Zhao Zhigao join the cabinet directly, or let Yang Wei join the cabinet and Zhao Zhigao will replace the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!
This is my bottom line, I will not accept any bargaining!"
After spending so much effort and creating such a big movement, if you can't even get the top position, wouldn't it be in vain?
Shen Yongmao replied: "Actually, my father's attitude toward Zhao Zhigao's rise to power is not very positive.
Zhao Zhigao has your full support. After joining the cabinet, he will be your complete spokesperson in the cabinet.
Such a cabinet minister can't even think of being strong in the cabinet, so how can my father get along with himself?"
Lin Tailai added: "Isn't there a second plan? Then let the obedient Yang Wei join the cabinet and Zhao Zhigao become the official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I don't mind either."
Shen Yongmao sighed: "Then my father must still be dissatisfied. How useful can an obedient cabinet minister be? But he lost the most important official minister in vain."
Lin Tailai stabbed the spear in his hand into a passing Ministry of Industry carriage and said angrily:
"This won't work, that won't work either, so just leave your father alone!
I'll do it myself! If you accidentally injure your father, don't say it was unforeseen!
If I, Lin Tailai, are not allowed to have fun, no one can live in peace! Still want to negotiate a peace? Bullshit!"
