Five hundred and thirty-eight chapters have their own plans
Welcome everyone to:. Some are happy and some are sad. Mr. Li earnestly advised Zhu Bulang to renew his determination, explained his importance as the face of the Ming Dynasty clan, analyzed his unique status as a civil servant of the clan, and encouraged him to be a good leader inside and outside the court.
When lubricating oil, there are also various meetings in other places, such as Bai Shilang's house.
Bai Shilang's residence is located outside Xi'an Gate, very close to the inner west garden. It was a gift from the emperor, which is enough to show Tian's grace. However, the decoration is simple, the flowers and trees are sparse, and there are only a few domestic slaves. Visitors all lament that although Master Bai
He has a noble status, but he is really a poor person.
Bai Shilang is indeed poor, and even Yu Linglong only agreed to commit herself among a group of suitors because of his reputation as a member of the Imperial Academy, his relatively young age, and his promising future. Speaking of personal pockets, Yu Linglong, a popular prostitute,
Linglong is much richer than Shilang Bai, just like Aunt Jin's private money is richer than Master Li most of the time.
Bai Shilang was originally born in a poor peasant family, and his education was provided by several houses jointly. Since he became an official, he has successively served as a lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, Zhan Shifu, and when the emperor was preparing to ascend the throne of the East Palace. These are all extremely noble but extremely clean.
, I don’t think it is an official position with much gray income. For the sake of my future, I have to create an image of integrity, and I dare not ask for too many rewards from the emperor.
But now Mr. Bai is about to get through. He has successfully jumped from the Cilinfang bureau officer to the six-level senior official. The next step is to wait for joining the cabinet. As the saying goes, if you are not a Hanlin, you will not join the cabinet. In the Hanlin Academy, Zhan Shifu's hard-earned qualifications are clear.
Don't you just do it for today?
There are three other people gathered at Shilang Bai's house tonight, besides the master Bai. They are Mr. Feng, the new Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Mr. Qin, the left minister of the Ministry of Works, and Mr. Ye, the young minister of Zhan Shifu and the lecturer of Hanlin Academy.
Qing Yise is in his thirties and forties, and is an old minister of Zhan Shifu when the emperor was young and was preparing to ascend the throne of the East Palace. Anyone who knows the government can see that these are the core figures of the "Conglong Sect" who have recently gradually emerged. In addition, they have already been
Mr. Yuan Ge, who had successfully ascended to the throne, was basically one of the most trusted ministers close to the emperor (excluding eunuchs).
It's just that when today's people first took real power, they were mostly in soy sauce. Otherwise, these people would definitely not just hold the official positions they currently have.
Needless to say, Mr. Bai is already a highly favored candidate to join the cabinet. He is expected to replicate the story of entering Zhiwenyuan Pavilion as a minister of the Ministry of Rites.
Feng Shangshu has just been transferred from the governor of Zhejiang to the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. He has occupied a place among the nine ministers of the outer dynasty and is currently the highest-ranking person present.
The Minister of Qin is a disciple of the current Master Jiu Shi of the Imperial College. He has developed rapidly in these years. He was promoted from the Dushui Department of the Ministry of Industry to the Minister of Minister. Of course, there are also factors in which the status of the Ministry of Industry is slightly lower. For example, in yamen such as the Ministry of Personnel, the left of the Department of Wenxuan
If a doctor wants to be promoted to the rank of minister, he must serve in the rank of fifth-grade doctor for nine years and three terms.
Now Hu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is old and does not have many directors in the court. It is estimated that he will soon become an official. Qin Shilang is waiting to take over as Minister of the Ministry of Industry and occupy another place among the nine ministers.
The higher-ranking ministries such as Li Hu Li Bing had been occupied by others for many years. They couldn't make any plans at the moment, so the Conglong Sect could only attack the smaller ministries such as the Punishment Department and the Works Department first.
Ye Xueshi, the young master of Zhan Shifu and the lecturer of Hanlin Academy, is a Qingliu official who has not yet jumped out of the Cilinfang Bureau system. His status is similar to that of Bai Shilang when he was still Bai Hanlin. But no one dares to underestimate him.
Development potential.
Academician Ye is already a fourth-rank official and has almost reached the end of his career in the Cilinfang Bureau. If he moves out, he will at least be a minister of the Sixth Ministry according to the rules of Qingliu. If he is lucky, it is not impossible to become the minister or minister of Dali Temple in one step.
What Ye Xueshi is waiting for is just the right opportunity. His goal is to find a position in the two highest-ranking yamen, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Finance.
In this small gathering in the Bai Mansion, Feng Shangshu apparently had the highest status, and he spoke first: "What do you think, Brother Bai Xian? At this time, why is he entangled with Li You in an extraneous way?"
Bai Shilang was silent at first. Then he sighed: "I wasn't paying attention, and Li You took advantage of it by pretending that he was calculating in his mind but not in his heart."
There were many details inside that I couldn't tell in detail to my comrades, and it would be embarrassing to tell them. He was coveting the huge sum of money promised by others, and wanted to improve his reputation, so he casually wrote an article to impeach Ambassador Lu.
Originally, he felt that relying on the emperor's trust, it would be easy to propose to the emperor to arrange a ninth grade. The emperor would not fail to give him face.
But after witnessing the relationship between Li You and Zhao Tianguan that day, he was worried that Li Youzhen would allow Lu Yuanguang to be re-elected. After all, Tianguan of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was very important in the official appointment process. Therefore, he also wanted to strike first and remove Ambassador Lu.
Afterwards, he couldn't be re-elected even if he wanted to.
At that time, he relied on the king's kindness and thought that impeaching a ninth-rank person was not a big deal, and there would be no loss if it was successful or not. But he did not mean it. He did not expect that others had intentions.
It should be said that Bai Shilang's thoughts were normal. What he did in any other period would have been trivial, but unfortunately he met Li You. What Li You is best at is finding opportunities to make small things big and big things messing up.
Academician Ye interjected: "You'd better marry Yu Linglong as soon as possible. Although you have to worry about being ridiculed for being addicted to women, if you always show off outside, accidents will inevitably happen."
Bai Shilang could only continue to be speechless. How could he express his thoughts with his mouth? Now he is just a minister with little real power in taking concubines. If he can join the cabinet as an auxiliary minister, then he can charge more for concubines.
There are few red envelopes, but they are all real money.
Feng Shangshu looked at Bai Shilang strangely for a few times, waved his hand and said: "Let's not talk about it for now. The top priority is to avoid long nights and many dreams. We must step up the attack on Mr. Peng Ge. As long as Mr. Peng Ge falls, the opportunity will naturally appear."
In the eyes of the Conglong faction, which longs for advancement, Pengge Lao is a rich mine with rich resources. It is not unreasonable for them to choose Pengge Lao as their target.
Not to mention the throne of Ge Lao under Academician Peng himself. Among the six departments, Peng Ge Lao's disciples occupy the ministerial posts of two departments, and they are also ranked high in the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Rites, which is mouth-watering.
At the top of the imperial court are the six great scholars and the nine ministers. There are fifteen pits in total. As long as we take down Peng Ge Lao, three positions will be immediately available. What's more, Peng Ge Lao's recent momentum has been declining, and he has exposed the most flaws.
The best replacement object from Dragon Clan.
The four of them continued their discussion. Now that Feng Shangshu was in charge of the Ministry of Justice, it would be a good opportunity to pick up the Deng Wengu case again and convict old Peng Ge of conspiracy to frame the minister.
Seeing that his comrades no longer questioned him, Bai Shilang quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He was poor and short-minded, and there was nothing he could do about it. His old father recently came from his hometown to celebrate the New Year. While scolding him for being an official for nothing, he called him a fellow countryman.
They complained and looked down upon him; while he was talking about buying land to build an ancestral hall and revise his family tree, he died in the capital without any money.
Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Mr. Bai's family affairs are not something outsiders can understand. As a filial son, he cannot go around and spread the word that his father is an ignorant old man.
Tonight, Xun Feiqian, who was newly moved from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice to Minister of the Ministry of War, quietly went to the house of Yang Jin, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion. As a person who has benefited from the recent situation, he has seen what happened in the Wenhua Palace today.
Shangshu believed that it was necessary to communicate his position with his patron, Mr. Yang Ge.
Since the disciple jumped from the Ministry of Justice to the Ministry of War, he took a very valuable step. In exchange, Grand Scholar Yang, an old ally of Xu Ge, has a relatively neutral attitude towards Bai Shilang's entry into the cabinet. At least he is too embarrassed to oppose it. There is such a thing as falling out after getting benefits.
, a kind person like Mr. Yang Ge cannot do it.
Facing Xun Shangshu's inquiry, Yang Gelao replied: "Didn't you see any clues today? That Li You deliberately destroyed his reputation and committed violence in public, but no one in the court impeached him in a short period of time. In the end, it was Li You who
The comrade made a superficial statement to impeach him and fined him and settled the matter.
This shows that although Bai Shilang was highly valued by the emperor and therefore was in a suddenly expensive position, he was far from popular. So Li Youming humiliated him, but others were subconsciously happy to see the result. For a while, they actually forgot to impeach Li Youming intentionally or unintentionally.
You.
Of course, if there are those who try to flatter Shilang Bai, they will also write a memorial to impeach Li You later, but this is all deliberate and not true intention."
Xun Shangshu asked again: "Now that public opinion has taken a turn for the worse, I wonder if Mr. Bai can still enter the cabinet?"
"The imperial court is changing rapidly. Who can say it accurately until the last moment?" Yang Gelao sighed: "I can only guess what they will do, but I can't guess who will win. Today's dialogue, Mr. Bai
To me, being slandered is a trivial matter, but the most serious consequence is that your heart is shaken and God's grace is unpredictable.
Who knows if the emperor will change his mind, stop adjusting, and put stability first? So I predict that they will step up their actions and take advantage of the overall favorable situation to knock down Peng Gelao in one fell swoop.
After creating this fait accompli, the emperor has to change even if he doesn't want to. At that time, the only people the emperor can trust are Bai Shilang and the others. Who can he use if he doesn't use them?"
Shangshu Xun pondered for a long time and then said: "From this point of view, we should not get too close to Bai Shilang and others. If they win, we will not get much benefit; if they lose, we will be implicated."
, it’s really not worth the loss.”
Yang Ge Lao nodded and said: "Yes, I'll just sit back and watch. But you have to pay special attention to Li You. He is very crucial. As long as he is willing to resolve the feud with Peng Ge Lao, Peng Ge Lao is very likely to protect himself. It is necessary."
If so, you can help him. I was kind to Li You in the past, and under normal circumstances Li You will not do evil to you."
Speaking of Li You, Shangshu Xun smiled bitterly and said: "This man is very difficult to deal with. Fortunately, I moved from the Ministry of Punishment to the Ministry of War. If I were still serving in the Ministry of Punishment, I would have been annoyed by him in the future. Now the Ministry of Punishment is headed by Mr. Feng, the commander-in-chief of the five cities."
There is still much to see about the power struggle between the Court and the Ministry of Punishment.”
Mr. Yang Ge praised: "Li You is still serious about his work, there is no need to question this..."
