Chapter 195: Shit Stirring Stick: We Can Make Money Without Losing
Ministry of Industry Shangshufu.
Jiang Yuan was in the study, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, but his heart was surging.
Tang’s maternal relative is finally taking action!
Jiang Yuan stayed in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years.
Although the six ministers are all Qiqing, their statuses vary. The highest is the Ministry of Personnel, followed by the Ministry of Husbandry, and then the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry.
Jiang Yuan's position is the lowest among the six ministerial books.
When Hu Xi died, it was time for Jiang Yuan to go to the Ministry of Rites.
However, it was Yao Kui who went.
Also acceptable.
Yao Kui has enough qualifications.
So Wang Wen, the Minister of Punishment, is about to retire, and it's Jiang Yuan's turn.
As a result, Yu Qian came back from Fujian!
As for the elderly Wang Ao who had been promoted to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to assist him, Jiang Yuan didn't bother to go. He was the head of the Ministry of Industry, so he went to work for Wang Ao?
Jiang Yuan couldn't stand that anger.
Moreover, pushing Tang Qing to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was for the sake of the overall situation.
Jiang Yuan knew that if the situation in the court continued like this, he would only be able to stay in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry for the rest of his life. It was not that he was not qualified enough, but that His Majesty had the intention to become a Zen official!
When His Majesty ascends the throne and the prince ascends the throne, the officials and households of the six ministers will definitely not be able to turn to Jiang Yuan.
It's from a princeling!
Moreover, the prince showed his sharp edge and had the demeanor of Taizong.
During Taizong's reign, what power did the ministers have?
Even important ministers such as Xia Yuanji, Jin Youzi, and San Yang were not puppets of His Majesty Taizong.
Not like now.
Do you think His Majesty wants to exchange benefits in order to form a young army for the Crown Prince?
His Royal Highness, the Prince, has to exchange benefits for the sake of the East Palace Military Research Institute!
But if the prince ascends the throne, the situation will be reversed.
so……
Jiang Yuan believed that not only he, but also the entire court, including Chen Xun and Shang Ren, all the ministers promoted by His Majesty, did not want to change the throne. The cowardly His Highness Prince Fu was the best candidate for a good king in the eyes of the ministers.
No more hesitation!
Jiang Yuan immediately sat down behind his desk, spread out his notebooks, and polished the ink himself, preparing to write a letter about the impeachment of the prince.
It will take some time for Tang's relatives to launch an offensive.
Probably have to wait until chaos breaks out in Shanxi.
Jiang Yuan planned to write the chapter first, and then discuss it with Yao Kui and Liu Jue.
Yao Kui and Liu Jue were determined to exchange reserves.
Chen Xun, the Minister of Hubu, also supported the exchange of reserves. Wang Ao of the Ministry of Personnel, like Chen Xun, although not firm, also clearly supported it. Tang Qing, another Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, needless to say.
Plus Xiao Weizhen from the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Calculated in this way, among the seven ministers, only Wang Wen and Yu Qian of the Ministry of Punishment are princelings.
Don't make the advantages too obvious.
In particular, Wang Ao's statement is very important.
Wang Ao has been in the Ministry of Personnel for more than ten years. Over the years, most of the promotions of ministers in the Ming Dynasty were related to him. The only regret is that Yao Kui, the Minister of Rites, has too little foundation.
In recent years, most of the imperial examination candidates came from Hu Hui's family.
But the impact is not big.
Yao Kui is the current Minister of Rites. How could those nobles and nobles not support Yao Kui for the sake of their clan's imperial examinations?
The Ministry of Rites selects people, and the Ministry of Officials employs people.
Both important departments support the exchange of reserves.
Coupled with the powerful Tang family relatives, Jiang Yuan could not think of a reason why the change of reserve would fail.
…
…
Nanxunfang.
Chen Ruyan briefly served as the right minister of the Ministry of War, but there was a conflict between Wang Wen, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and He Jian, the minister of affairs, so He Jian was transferred back to the Ministry of War as the left minister, and Chen Ruyan was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel as the right minister.
But Chen Ruyan was an "incorruptible" official and had not saved much money over the years. He still lived in the same courtyard as before - well, there were no dilapidated courtyards in Nanxunfang.
Chen Ruyan's mansion is actually a mansion.
In the study, Chen Ruyan was sitting on a chair, drinking tea leisurely, looking at the middle-aged man with long hair in the guest seat. Seven or eight years later, his appearance had changed drastically.
Chen Ruyan obtained a household registration for him through connections.
Now she is no longer called Queen of Stone.
It's called Shi Dongshan.
On the surface, he is Chen Ruyan's disciple.
Now that the remnants of Jianwen have been wiped out and Shi Heng's old party has long since become a thing of the past, Chen Ruyan has actually had countless thoughts to silence Shi Dongshan so that he can dominate the court without fear.
But it's a rat-proof weapon.
Because he didn't know what Shi Dongshan had behind him. If Shi Dongshan died and a secret letter about his relationship with Shi Heng was actually sent to Lu Zhong, Chen Ruyan's whole family would have to be buried with him.
So Chen Ruyan endured it.
Now that nine years have passed, no one is pursuing Shi Heng's case anymore, and Chen Ruyan doesn't have to worry about Empress Shi's identity being exposed.
He coughed and said: "The exchange of reserves planned by us is inevitable."
Shi Dongshan chuckled.
we?
I planned it all by myself, but because of my status, I asked you, Chen Ruyan, to promote it.
To put it bluntly, Shi Dongshan really admires Chen Ruyan.
A doctor from the Ministry of War was actually able to make insinuations and directly or indirectly wake up the ministers of the DPRK and Central Government, making them understand that Prince Zhu Jianji's ascension to the throne was not conducive to the civil service group.
And it worked!
Chen Ruyan even became the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Shi Dongshan said slowly: "But I'm a little uneasy. Regarding this matter, on the surface, our plan is smooth and everything is under control. But does Chen Shilang feel that our plan is implemented too smoothly?"
Some."
Chen Ruyan nodded slightly, "Indeed, what kind of person is His Highness the Crown Prince? He pacified Shi Heng's restoration at the age of nine, quelled Jianwen's rebellion at the age of ten, forced the Queen Mother Sun to be killed, and killed the Bao Sect. In every major matter, His Highness the Crown Prince made the perfect choice.
I have found the best path. Now that the Tang family's relatives have joined forces with the civil service group, I really don't believe that His Majesty didn't notice it, and I don't believe that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't notice it at all. I even have some doubts about whether His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty had bad relations last year.
It was done deliberately, and the purpose was to induce Tang's relatives to expose their evil deeds."
Shi Dongshan said: "I also have this feeling. We believe that the real starting point of His Majesty's desire to change his reserve was the bad relationship between His Majesty and the Crown Prince last year. It gave people the impression that when drowsiness came, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty took the initiative to send pillows.
"
He added: "And from last year to now, Jin Yiwei has been terribly quiet."
Shi Dongshan was suddenly startled.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw that Chen Ruyan also wanted to say something, so he said, "Are you trying to say whether this matter is just like Jianwen's rebellion in the fourth year of Jingtai, a trap set up by His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Chen Ruyan said: "There is indeed such an illusion."
Shi Dongshan thought for a while, "If this is a trap by His Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince, then the question is, how sure are Your Majesty and His Highness the Crown Prince that they can solve the desperate attempt by Tang's relatives? Don't forget, Liu Jue of the Ministry of War has the power to mobilize troops, and
Anqiu Marquis Tang Xing is in the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion and has troops."
Chen Ru said: "The young army of the East Palace, the four guards of Tengxiang and Wuxiang."
Shi Dongshan shook his head, "There are only 28,000 people."
After thinking for a while, "Maybe... we have overestimated His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Chen Ruyan suddenly smiled and said: "It doesn't matter anymore."
At this point, the arrow is on the string.
He said to Shi Dongshan: "There is no turning back for the Tang family's relatives. Once the Yellow River Stone Man appears in Shanxi, the victims will inevitably rise up and blame the natural disaster on His Royal Highness. The Shanxi Dusi will passively deal with the rebellion of the victims, causing the mountains and rivers to change.
When the Chinese, civil and military officials of the court impeach the crown prince and ask him to replace the crown prince, Your Majesty will have to consider the consequences, and the replacement of the crown prince may be successful - if your Majesty is really serious about changing the crown prince."
Shi Dongshan said: "What if Your Majesty is not interested in changing reserves?"
Chen Ruyan smiled but said nothing.
Then let the victims' riots become more violent.
Shanxi is so close to Gyeonggi...
Hundreds of thousands of victims of the disaster are approaching the capital, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are begging for mercy in exchange for reserves. If Zhu Qiyu insists on going his own way, then his subordinates will see what Zhu Qiyu and the prince Zhu Jianji do to resist the rebel army.
Anyway...
Winning or losing has a close relationship with me, Chen Ruyan!
won.
Lao Tzu hides his merit and fame deeply.
Lost.
You can't trace it to me, so just keep looking for opportunities!
Moreover, once the Seven Qings are killed by His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, will have the opportunity to aspire to the top of his official career. Thinking of this pair, Shi Dongshan said: "If the Tang family's relatives really lose, I will find a way
Let you join the officialdom."
Shi Dongshan laughed loudly, "Anyway, we two shit-stirring sticks will make a profit without losing anything!"
