Chapter 092 The ferocity of stray bullets (Part 2)
Logically speaking, it is not easy to get rid of Tan Lun, especially for Zhao Zhenji, this matter is not easy to handle.
There are two reasons: one is that the current nominal head of the cabinet is Li Chunfang, but everyone knows that Li Chunfang "will flatter Xu when the government is at the highest level, and give way to the high when the government is high." Therefore, the real master of the matter is actually Li Chunfang.
It was Gao Gong, and Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were not only allies themselves, but also valued Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang, thinking that they were indeed rare talents, so they also strongly supported them.
Previously, Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang said that the power over military training was not unified and that it would be difficult to carry out the work. Zhang Juzheng learned the news and immediately ran for them in Beijing and wrote to major local officials, ordering them to cooperate fully and not to do anything half-heartedly.
Yang Feng and Yin violated the law, and Gao Gong also expressed his support. Therefore, Tan and Qi were able to fully control Ji Liao, and also had the power to train troops.
The second is that Zhang Juzheng is in charge of the Ministry of War in the cabinet, so it is natural for him to protect Tan Lun or Qi Jiguang. As the general constitution, Zhao Zhenji, if he wants to move Tan Lun or Qi Jiguang, he can only find his subordinates to impeach them.
Then force the cabinet to take action.
But in this case, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng would definitely not agree, and the result would be "sacred judgment". If Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng had not intervened, Zhao Zhenji would certainly not be afraid of "sage judgment". What is remarkable is that Shangshu resigned. In order to ensure the authority of the cabinet, the emperor
It must be to retain Mr. Ge, and things will be done according to Mr. Ge's wishes. But with the addition of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, the trouble will be big. If Zhao Zhenji really resigns, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng will inevitably resign as well - then it will be over.
If there was only one Zhang Juzheng, Zhao Zhenji would still dare to give it a try, but with Gao Gong in it, the Sacred Heart would inevitably be deflected. When the time comes, it will definitely not be Gao or Zhang who leaves, but his old self, Zhao Ge.
Wouldn't this be like shooting yourself in the foot?
Therefore, it is difficult to directly defeat Tan Lun according to conventional ideas. Unless the alliance between Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng breaks down, it is just wishful thinking and has no chance of winning.
As the saying goes, if you cannot cut with a hard knife, use a soft one. If you cannot cut with a hard knife, use a soft knife to sharpen it.
Although Mr. Zhao Ge said that he had wasted many years before, he had been ups and downs in the officialdom almost all the time. Although he had a strong and conceited temper, he still had some means.
Don't you, Tan Lun, have outstanding achievements and great reputation, and have long been known as a good soldier? Very good. When I get rid of Huo Ji, a Shanxi guy, I will transfer you to the capital! Of course - Minister of the Ministry of War, you
Don't even think about it. I want you to be the Grand Sima. When the time comes, Zhang Juzheng and you two will have one in charge of the Ministry of War and the other an official in the Ministry of War. Then Qi Jiguang can only be more proud of himself. How can I touch him?
As long as Huo Ji steps down, you have to follow the method I proposed. In this case, someone will definitely be able to assist in the military affairs of the capital. It just so happens that Gao Huzi has established a system of four ministers in the Ministry of War. There are enough positions in the Ministry of War, and they will be given to you when the time comes.
Just add a Zuo Shilang to assist in the military affairs of the capital.
Humph, the position of Young Sima is not humiliating to you, Tan Zili, right?
After you Tan Lun leaves, there will be a layer of separation between Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang, and there will be more ways to think of.
As for the successor of Governor Jiliao...
Mr. Zhao Ge thought for a while and couldn't help but shake his head. This position is of course very important. If possible, Mr. Zhao Ge would also like to recommend his own people to take the position, but the probability of success is too low and there is basically no chance.
The situation of the court is now clear. If Tan Lun is removed or transferred, the candidate for governor of Ji Liao will either come from Gao Gong or Zhang Juzheng. Even if you count on your fingers, you will not be able to guess that he will be the leader of the old Zhao Ge faction.
But it doesn't matter. No matter who takes the lead, they can't be as strong as the relationship between Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang. They can give full and full support in everything, as good as wearing the same pants.
Regarding Qi Jiguang's matter, it would be enough to transfer Tan Lun. Mr. Zhao Ge had thought it through and put it aside for now.
Ma Fang is not easy to deal with here. This person has always been famous in the court for being rough and loyal, but in fact he is an old man who knows how to be an official. In addition, he is also a man with outstanding military achievements. It is difficult to find a reason to move him.
.
As for Qi Jiguang, as long as Tan Lun is not around, the reason is easy to find - the Qi family's army has the highest military salary in the world, where does the money come from and where does it go? Moreover, Qi Jiguang is used to working in camps, and bribery is indispensable, not even with Zhang Juzheng.
If you know how much money you received from someone else, as long as you have done a good job of laying the groundwork, you can check him out. Isn’t it accurate to check it all?
The situation of Ma Fang and Qi Jiguang is very different. As we all know, Gao Gong does not like money. He has been an official for decades, and he does not have an extra acre of land in his hometown in Xinzheng. It was before his father Gao Shangxian passed away that he divided the land between his sons.
That number has remained unchanged for decades.
It can be seen that there is basically no exchange of money between Ma Fang and Gao Gong. What is remarkable is a little bit of ice and carbon respect. This kind of thing happens to all officials in the capital. It would be stupid to bring it up - how much offence would it be?
People? Don’t you want to hang out anymore?
It is certainly a good idea to follow Tan Lun's approach and change the situation to Governor Xuanda, but unfortunately it has already been used once - Chen Qixue was just transferred away, and now Wang Chonggu is replaced.
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhao Ge gritted his teeth. Chen Qixue was originally replaced by Gao Gong because Gao Gong felt that Chen Qixue had done a good job and supported Chen Qixue's work at Xuanda University. Although Chen Qixue did not openly vote for the Gao Party, his actions
It was in line with Gao Gong's intention - even after Gao Gong was forced to retreat by Xu Jie, Chen Qixue still acted according to Gao Gong's previous ideas of managing the border.
So as soon as Mr. Zhao Ge came to power, he attacked Governor Chen of Xuanda. The reason was that since you were not a Gao Dang, the backlash against Gao Dang would not be too strong if I moved you. And what you did was completely a Gao Dang, so it would be very difficult to take him down.
It can scare some people.
The only thing that Mr. Zhao Ge did not expect was that Gao Gong would come back just after Chen Qixue's charges were confirmed.
This was not easy to handle, because as soon as Gao Gong came back, he became a bachelor and the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although Chen Qixue had been convicted before, it stands to reason that his political future seemed to have reached Po Meng's side, and he was just short of killing Po Meng.
After drinking the soup, Gao Huzi came back and said in an understatement, "Chen Qi has been studying and ruling the border for a long time. Although he has made some minor mistakes, he has not concealed his talents. He was transferred to the Ministry of War as a minister to assist in the military affairs of the Beijing camp." This almost made Zhaoge Lao's previous achievements useless. It's really true.
I'm so angry!
Moreover, Gao Huzi seemed to have seen through his own intentions. Instead of transferring others to promote the university, he directly transferred Wang Chonggu, a Shanxi native, back - in the Ming Dynasty, which had a strict avoidance system, it was rare for officials to serve as governors in their native provinces.
, that is, only a tough official like Gao Gong dared to do this.
Now that Wang Chonggu has been transferred to the position of Governor of Xuanda, this position cannot be moved casually: because originally Gao Gong and the Jin Party were only allies. If Wang Chonggu is to be moved now, Yang Bo, the leader of the Jin Party, currently has no actual position and may not be of much help.
, Wang Chonggu had no choice but to ask Gao Gong for help - which was equivalent to forcing the Jin Party to sell themselves to Gao Gong and take full shelter in Gao Gongmen. Zhao Ge Lao's brain was not broken, how could he do such a stupid thing?
Still think Gao Huzi’s men are not strong enough?
So there is no other way. Ma Fang and Zhao Ke, the two lackeys of the Gao family, really have no choice but to start with themselves. Zhao Gelao sighed, thought for a while, picked up his pen and started writing a letter.
It would be easy to pick a few people from Xuanfu, Datong, or Shanxi to check whether Ma Fang, Zhao Ke, and Zhao Ke are clean under their butts.
I hope I can find out something.
You uncles and nephews from the Gao family have been too proud of themselves lately!
