Chapter 573: 572: The pictures of several parties

Author: Guests in Parallel Space

In the Beijing city, Imperial College Records.

"Dong Fen recommended Chen Yiqin as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites?"

Wei Guangde shook the note in his hand and smiled at Zhang Juzheng, "Shangshu Dong also knew that it was a pity that Xiang Yu's mansion had made good progress."

Previously, after Chen Yiqin returned to Beijing after his return to Beijing, he stayed in the Hanlin Academy and was in charge of the Hanlin Academy as a bachelor's lecturer.

Dong Fen was very good at calculating. After becoming the Minister of Rites, he immediately asked for an order and recommended Chen Yiqin, the former lecturer of Prince Yu's Mansion, to be the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, to officially enter the court, in order to ease the relationship with Prince Yu's Mansion.

"Your Highness really decided to touch Dong Fen?"

Hearing Wei Guangde's words, Zhang Juzheng asked.

"Why, Shangshu Dong has found Mr. Xu?"

Wei Guangde asked curiously.

You know, Dong Fen and Xu Jie had nothing to do with each other before, but looking at Zhang Juzheng's meaning at this moment, it seems that Xu Jie has the intention of protecting Dong Fen.

"yes."

Zhang Ju didn't hide anything in front of Wei Guangde, and nodded and admitted the matter directly.

"In order to win over an obedient Shangshu, did Mr. Xu agree?"

Wei Guangde continued to ask, but he thought to himself that as King Yu was concerned, Zhang Juzheng finally turned to Xu Jie, without any concern for His Highness's feelings.

"The teacher believes that as long as Dong Fen is obedient, it is not a bad thing to keep him in the Ministry of Rites."

Zhang Juzheng replied.

Now it is Prince Yu's mansion that is dissatisfied with Dong Fen. If he cannot persuade Prince Yu to let go of his prejudice, then Dong Fen's position will definitely be difficult to protect.

Looking for Wei Guangde is actually just testing the attitude of Prince Yu’s mansion. If Zhang Juzheng alone persuades him, it may be counterproductive. If Wei Guangde can maintain the same opinion as them, Prince Yu may be able to listen.

However, Wei Guangde lowered his head and thought.

What he thought was not about whether Dong Fen would stay or not, but about having realized that the relationship between Mr. Xu and Prince Yu's mansion would soon break down.

Nothing else, Xu Jie Bao Dongfen not only wanted to subdue a senior official of Shangshu to speak for him, but also wanted to continue to suppress Gao Gong.

In fact, the big reason why King Yu was so determined to move Dong Fen was to create a vacancy in the six ministries of the court.

Looking at the current ministers and ministers of various departments, the most important thing to move is Dong Fen, who has just come to power and has an unstable foundation.

Although there is another Guo Pu, his foundation is more stable and cannot be compared with Dong Fen.

In fact, Guo Pu served as the Minister of Personnel in the 40th year of Jiajing. He was just because his father died and returned to his hometown and was still in court. He naturally served as the Minister of Personnel.

Moreover, those two years of sorrows also allowed Guo Pu to escape the most turbulent years of the Ming Dynasty. At least he didn't have to face the dissatisfaction of King Yu and Xu Jie, so they would naturally not be stupid to provoke Guo Pu.

Gao Gong has been in the position of Minister of the State Council for several years, and Wei Guangde also realized that even if Emperor Jiajing wanted to suppress the people of Prince Yu's Mansion, as long as the position of Shangshu was short of this time, the only one who could make up for it would definitely be Gao Gong.

Of course, if it was the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War, Gao Gong would definitely be difficult for him to be competent.

But if it is the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, it will naturally be different.

“It’s hard.”

Wei Guangde just looked up at Zhang Juzheng, then shook his head at him and said, "Brother Uncle, it's better not to get involved in your teacher's matter, otherwise it will be bad for you."

Although Wei Guangde has always been guarding against Gao Gong and Xu Jie, he is a little unresentful to Zhang Juzheng.

At least, Wei Guangde was not confident in competing for official positions and power with Zhang Juzheng, so he reminded him at this time.

Hearing Wei Guangde's words, Zhang Juzheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but then bowed: "Thank you, Shandai for your concern, I know the dangers in this matter."

Wei Guangde nodded. He did not want to be hated by King Yu, so that he would lose the opportunity to train the problems of the Ming Dynasty.

Yes, Wei Guangde's heart is not that clean.

Which of the problems that existed in the Ming Dynasty, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Xu Jie and others, can’t see them?

Many civil and military officials in the dynasty understood the ills of the Ming Dynasty, but who has the courage to make changes?

No, there seemed to be only Zhang Juzheng, the civil and military officials in the court.

Wei Guangde knew the importance of reform, but in Chinese history, all reformers had a miserable ending without exception.

He did not want to repeat the same mistakes, and the Ming Dynasty had to reform again. After thinking about it, the best way was to let Zhang Juzheng rush forward to take the lead. He beat the side drum. Only at the last moment, after Zhang Juzheng died, the blame could be attributed to Zhang Juzheng, but the results of the reform must not be lost.

This move can at least last a hundred years for the Ming Dynasty, and your descendants will have a better tomorrow.

The change of dynasties is an unchangeable process, and we can only try our best to avoid things that he doesn't like.

Family, country and country, Wei Guangde chose family, country at this time.

However, Zhang Juzheng didn't know Wei Guangde's plan, so he was a little moved at this moment, because Wei Guangde's words were all considered for him.

Of course he could understand Xu Jie's plan.

But after all, it was the teacher's intention and he could not change it.

"Does Your Highness want you to impeach?"

Zhang Juzheng asked.

"Why do you say this?"

Wei Guangde asked.

"During this period, Your Highness often summons you back to the royal palace, and it's hard not to know whether you want to."

Zhang Juzheng explained.

Wei Guangde nodded relievedly, "Your Highness does have this intention. I want to wait a little longer, but your Highness is not patient enough after all."

"Does Shandai plan to impeach it recently?"

Zhang Juzheng asked.

Wei Guangde smacked his lips, "I do have this intention, but I am still waiting for the opportunity. I can't just stumble around with nothing. I, Wei Guangde, can't do that."

"Shangshu Dong is indeed a little greedy for money, which is a big taboo for officials."

Zhang Juzheng said with some meaning.

Wei Guangde raised his eyes and stared at Zhang Ju for a while, then smiled and nodded slightly, "I've been taught."

Zhang Juzheng's words should be what he said to him.

However, Wei Guangde was not surprised. It was impossible to say that no one was gossiping behind his back when he lived in the capital.

This is the nature of the Chinese people. In front of him, they are all flattering and saying that Wei Guangde is righteous, but behind the scenes, they are not saying that Wei Guangde's family might deduct military pay and exploit the people, otherwise he would not have so much money.

The officials Wei Guangde was accused of not much oil and water to let him get.

In this era, the officialdom is really dark.

Everyone wants to fight for the officials who are so good that they are trying to win, just for the sake of yellow and white things. They are so at ease with the money they have to take, and they have no guilt at all.

It can only be said that the power of the unspoken rules is infinite.

The money earned within the rules is called ability, not greed.

If Wei Guangde was an official who was rich and profitable and earned a lot of money to help them, they would be envious, but they would only say that Wei Guangde would be an official.

But if it weren't for the money that made this money, then it would be despised.

Zhang Ji, the butler at Wei Guangde's mansion, has a good relationship with many business owners, and even cooperates with business in private. Wei Guangde did not deliberately conceal it. Its origins are very good, but in the eyes of officials, the money earned in this way has not been taken away from the money that should be obtained during office and made innocence.

At least, Wei Guangde's private morality is a loss.

As for the others, Wei Guangde thought that Zhang Ju's forehand should not be able to reach Jiangxi.

If he wins over Cheng Shujie, Cheng Shujie should not say anything randomly. Moreover, he will take some of those things himself and then send some to the capital. In short, it is all about sharing the benefits, but it is only a matter of time.

But this matter is really shameful.

Wei Guangde sent Zhang Juzheng away and continued reading, but his thoughts had already flown back to the Hanlin Academy.

It seems that Chen Yiqin will not stay in the Hanlin Academy for too long. This time, no matter whether Dong Fen is dismissed or not, he should return to the Ministry of Rites and start his career from then on.

So who will take over the Hanlin Academy?

Gao Yi or Wang Daren?

Gao Yi is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and is also entitled to the title of Right Minister of the Ministry of Rites, but Chen Yiqin has always been in charge of the affairs.

If Chen Yiqin is now in the Ministry of Rites as the Right Minister, will Gao Yi be promoted and replaced by Gao Gong?

From this point of view, the chances of Wang Daren, the attendant lecturer, being in charge of the Hanlin Academy is very high.

The possibility of Gao Gong replaced Dong Fen as Minister of Rites is undoubtedly the greatest now.

It is hard to say that King Yu valued the impeachment of Dong Fen, which was the result of Gao Gong's efforts behind the scenes.

It seems that Gao Gong has become smarter now. If he wants to win the position of Minister of Rites, he knows that he will no longer come forward in person, but instead, the Prince Yu's mansion will take action, secretly helping him, and let him work hard for his promotion.

The more Wei Guangde thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.
