Chapter Seventy-Three: Asking for silver, discussing resistance (5)
"The second effect is even greater. Who in the government and the public does not hate the Prime Minister and oppose the New Deal? There was a bloody turmoil in the past, but today they hold their breath and no one offends them. Why? It's just because they are afraid of you, Prime Minister, supporting them.
, if the policy is really implemented in the future, the first to be punished will be their protesters. Therefore, one person is silent and ten thousand people are silent, which makes them more and more fearful.
But Chen Tongpao suddenly went out to fight. He represented the official department, the head of the six departments. This weight was enough for everyone to recognize him as a backer. If things went wrong, he could be blamed. But he was only an adjutant, even if he was considered guilty.
The investigation and punishment will not affect Gao Jizhi, nor will it harm the foundation of the official department. This plan is comprehensive, and I thought about it for a moment before I realized how wonderful it is!" Yan Wen clapped his hands and praised it.
Liu Zhennian suddenly realized it, and then asked: "In this case, can Yan Shenzheng have a way to solve it?"
Yan Wen hurriedly replied: "I don't dare to speak arrogantly. This matter needs to be discussed with the Prime Minister first. After the discussion is settled, I should come to Liu Gong for instructions."
"Can't you let me make a decision now?" Liu Zhennian remembered the emperor's words just now and looked irritated.
"Yan Wen understands Mr. Liu's mood, but not only do they have to discuss it, we also have to discuss it, and it will take a few days. No one can cross the river by feeling the stones." Yan Wen bowed to him again.
"Okay..." Liu Zhennian raised his neck, his expression still depressed.
Jie Wenwu took advantage of Liu Zhennian's time to go to the inner garden and came to the courtyard of the official office alone. He stopped in front of a room with a half-open window. When he saw someone sitting inside, he knocked on the window a few times.
Asked: "Brother Yanda, can you be here?"
The clerk who was sitting in the room turned around and saw his figure. Knowing that he was Jie Wenwu, he opened the door and walked out, bowed on the corridor and said, "I see you, Mr. Jie! Gao Shangshu went to the Central Government for a visit."
Shu Sheng hasn’t come back yet.”
"What about... Mr. Chen?"
"List……"
"No need to look for him!" He heard a familiar voice coming from behind. He turned around and saw Gao Jizhi's thin figure. "Master Jie, we are discussing something in the hall."
Jie Wenwu responded, bowed with him, and walked into the central hall together.
"Master Jie, I know you are upset. If you have anything to say, just say it." Gao Jizhi pulled out an armchair and invited him to sit down.
"I saw that you were willing to help me, so I came here resolutely!" Jie Wenwu poked his heart, "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to save my life!"
Gao Jizhi said: "I got a tip on the road. Your Majesty has not yet made a decision, which means there is still room for change in this matter. As long as we contact the ministers and work together to put pressure on this, once a wave of waves is set off, tens of thousands of people will follow.
"
"We may not be sure of victory, and I'm afraid you won't take risks," Jie Wenwu said immediately.
"Isn't the decision of the two major yamen, soldiers and officials, not enough?"
"Enough, but it doesn't matter who we are. The strength of our military department is already inferior, and after losing the Xuanhua section, our face has been disgraced and it is difficult to show off to the public. Only the people in the official department do not lose hope and are advancing with great success. After thinking about it, I feel helpless...
...Then it all depends on the Lord to take the lead." Jie Wenwu took a sip of tea and looked at his expression out of the corner of his eye.
Gao Jizhi, however, acted as if nothing had happened, still sitting on the chair of the Grand Master, and said calmly: "In order to serve as the official, our officials can speak uprightly in court and confront the traitors. We are not afraid of even a strong man like Liu Zhennian.
What’s the point of carrying this heavy burden now?”
After hearing this, Jie Wenwu gradually became very happy.
"It's just..." Gao Jizhi lowered his eyebrows, "In this situation, we shouldn't act with enthusiasm."
Jie Wenwu's expression suddenly changed: "What...how do you say this?"
"The Ministry of Personnel has nothing to do with this matter. Chen Shilang is just giving advice to Jie Gong, not asking for his own ideas. If you force me to write a memorial and let you name it, it will not be difficult, but how to deceive Niu Yuan
Eyes? When he saw that it was the Ministry of Officials who came to play, he would inevitably use the topic to play on it, saying something like, "The Ministry of Officials relies on the first of the six parts."
, thinking that everything will go according to one's will, 'this matter has nothing to do with the officials and must be threatened by traitors', etc., and then pursuing it to the end will not only put the officials into a crisis, but sooner or later the adults will be confessed.
It’s really better to come up with a reasonable solution, so that you can stand upright and not be afraid of the shadow, leaving Party Liu with nothing to say.”
Jie Wenwu was stunned by his words and nodded in agreement.
"So, it is the Ministry of War that takes the lead." Gao Jizhi brought the topic back.
"No, no..." Jie Wenwu almost blurted out, only then did he realize his mistake, "No... I'm not shirking the responsibility. It's because the mountain of the Ministry of War is not as high as yours, and I'm afraid that my colleagues will not obey your orders."
Gao Jizhi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter! Chen Shilang!"
Immediately, a person walked out of the back room, wearing a crimson court dress. He opened the curtains and bowed to Jie Wenwu: "I'm here to show you my Tongpao."
Jie Wenwu bowed back in shock.
"Shilang Chen," Gao Jizhi patted him on the shoulder, "Our six departments are all in a relationship where one is prosperous and the other suffers losses. Now that the Ministry of War is in trouble, we should help. Follow Mr. Jie and go to each ministry.
, if they ask, you can tell me that I am here to persuade you to support the Ministry of War and oppose the New Deal."
"Yes." Tongpao Chen agreed decisively, and then looked at Jie Wenwu.
"Gao Yanda has given me some face. When something happens, it would be good to blame this guy..." Jie Wenwu secretly rejoiced and shouted to Gao Jizhi with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Gao!"
squeak--
In Zhongshu Province, the sound of the old door of the study room alarmed Niu Yuan, who had closed his eyes in deep thought.
"It was Gao Jizhi just now..." Niu Yuan shook his head, "Whose turn is it now?"
"I am the Prime Minister, and it is Yan who is participating in politics." Li Wenshou replied respectfully.
Niu Yuan suddenly looked up and saw Yan Wen had come in.
"Sit." He rubbed his face and calmed down his emotions a little.
Li Wenshou closed the door smoothly.
"What brought you here?" Niu Yuan asked with a cold face.
"Master Niu," Yan Wen said worriedly, "the situation is tense and now is not the time to discuss political opinions."
Niu Yuan took a breath and then asked: "What did the emperor say?"
"The Emperor was having his meal and said he was not in the mood to read the memorial now. He planned to go back and review it carefully."
"You are really good at roundabout talking," Niu Yuan sneered, "For us, doesn't this mean rejection?"
"Don't worry about it," Yan Wen joked with him unintentionally, "I'm afraid that during the few days of delay, Jie Wenwu will definitely take action."
"I heard that Jie Wenwu went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Who knows what they are trying to do? How can we deal with it? We have to let it go and take advantage of it." Niu Yuan shook his head, not thinking that there was anything to discuss.
"I'm afraid we can't break this trick..."
"Then who can dismantle it?"
Yan Wen said word by word: "It's better to recall Ye Yongjia... They would never think of this plan!"
