Wanli Xinming

Chapter 323 Starfall ([-])

Wang Chonggu continued, "Since you recommended Shen Shixing, why didn't you recommend Xu Guo, Wang Xijue, etc.?"

Zhang Siwei said: "Xu Guo and Wang Xijue are not the enemies of Shen Shixing, but Liang Mingquan is a talented person. He used to be the governor of Henan, the governor of Ji Liao, etc., and he has no shortage of ambition and skills, and he will not be under Pan Sheng."

Wang Chonggu nodded and said, "Your idea is correct."

Zhang Siwei laughed again: "The last time the emperor went on a tour, he met Liang Menglong in Jizhen and talked with him for a long time. Soon after that, he was transferred to Beijing, where he first served as the left servant of the Du branch, then turned and turned the deputy envoy of the privy council and was in charge of the general office—all said. Shen Shixing is in the heart of the emperor, and if you talk about the holy family, you can't compare to Liang Mingquan."

Wang Chonggu's eyes lit up when he heard it, and asked, "In your opinion, which two can Pan Sheng recommend?"

Zhang Siwei was silent for a long time, then Fang said: "According to my nephew's knowledge, it is very likely that he pushed Shen Shixing and Xu Guo."

Immediately explained: "If Pan Sheng has shown his desire to reach the top in front of the emperor, I don't need to say what he thinks; but he also has to guard against Shen Shixing, who is determined to enter the pavilion. Although Shen Shixing is generous on the surface, in reality, he has two ends. , Xu Guo and others are stubborn and stubborn, and they are often in trouble, and after a long time, they will have a feud with Shen Shixing—if I were Pan Sheng, I would choose these two."

Wang Chonggu listened to Fu Zhang and laughed, "If this is the case, your chances of winning will be greatly increased - both of them are from Nanzhili, how can the emperor agree?"

Then he said: "The two are from the same province as one; secondly, after the great reform, the flow of courtiers is different from before. If there is no great merit or big mistake, there will be a big plan in four or five years; Jingcha has used it less."

"Like Liang Menglong, in a few years, the army and the government will go back and forth, and it will be a sign of great use. In addition, the emperor once said that the prime minister will not necessarily follow the path of the Hanlin prime minister in the future, and those who will enter the cabinet in the future. , If you don't have experience in local governance, you may be difficult to get into the eyes of the emperor. This is the second."

"If Zhang Jiangling retires, the emperor chooses the prime minister, the one who likes the most is the minister who bears the decree, and the person who is good at guessing the emperor's heart - if Pan Sheng can't answer the question of Liang Menglong, this one is whether the emperor uses you or his victory. Hands down."

Zhang Siwei listened with a look of doubt on his face and said: "If he asks to stay right, he will slander me - or, today's question is his suggestion." Then he realized that Pan Sheng could never be so stupid. Just stopped.

Wang Chonggu saw that Zhang Siwei was worried about gains and losses, so he comforted him: "If the emperor abandons you and uses Pan Sheng, the political cost will be too high. Maybe the two of us are suspicious and think too much. Today's event is probably to expand the cabinet." Zhang Siwei heard the words and thought about it, and his heart was relieved a lot.

After a while of silence, both of them drank a few sips of tea.Wang Chonggu asked with a smile: "If Zhang Jiangling also wrote about the two, who do you think he can recommend?"

Zhang Siwei thought for a while and shook his head: "Zhang Jiangling is not someone I can guess. What does my uncle think he will do?"

Wang Chonggu pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "If I were Zhang Jiangling, I would push Wang Xijue and Luo Wanhua! If the emperor chooses one, the three generations of the Zhang family will have no worries, haha."

Zhang Siwei was surprised: "Could it be that Luo Wanhua can enter the political affairs hall this time? He is still in Myanmar."

Wang Chonggu said: "It's not impossible. Luo Wanhua is almost 50 years old. How long has he been in Myanmar? Although he is capable and sophisticated, the sky is high and the emperor is far away." He kept silent.

Speaking of this, the two have already spoken to the end, and both remained silent.Sitting quietly in his uncle's study for a while, Zhang Siwei left without waiting for Wang Chonggu to stay for dinner.

The nephews and uncles have been scrutinizing the possibility of expanding the political affairs hall. In fact, it can't change anything - after the list enters the Yangxin Hall, how to use people, how many people, Zhang Juzheng can't affect Zhu Yijun, let alone Zhang Siwei.He only worked conscientiously during Zhang Juzheng's illness, lest his political career would fall to the last mile.

However, some things did not depend on Zhang Siwei's will.As the news of Zhang Juzheng's serious illness gradually spread, the political arena in the two Beijings was surging. Zhang Siwei, as the most promising candidate to take over as the prime minister, went directly to the door to "communicate with each other", and he was exhausted.

This kind of thing can't be avoided, and it can't be high-profile publicity. The scale here is very difficult to grasp, and the analysis and judgment of the relationship between far and near also takes up a lot of energy from him and his staff.

Zhang Ju was recuperating at home, and the emperor didn't bother him if it wasn't a major event. Zhang Siwei immediately felt the heavy weight on his shoulders.Today's Zhengshitang has more authority than the former cabinet. Except for the functions of the minister of the inner court and the emperor's secretary in the servant room, the Zhengshitang is equivalent to the sum of the powers of the inner and outer courts in the past.

When Zhang Juzheng stood in front of him, he didn't feel very tired, but when he tried to be on his own, Zhang Siwei immediately began to lack sleep.Since March, his body has also begun to lose weight, and his daily office hours have increased by more than four hours.

On the [-]th day of the third month, the internal officials came to convey the emperor's will, and met Zhang Siwei at the Hall of Mental Cultivation.Zhang Siwei asked the inner official, and heard that there were also privy envoys Ding Guogong Xu Wenbi, deputy envoys Liu Yingjie, Yin Zhengmao, etc., busy sorting out their appearance, and followed him into the palace.

When he arrived at the small court room at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Ding Guogong Xu Wenbi looked at Zhang Siwei and said, "Mr. Feng Pan looked fine at the last court meeting, but why has his chin been sharp for the past two days?"

Zhang Siwei said with a wry smile: "I hope the emperor will quickly add people to the political affairs hall. The old gentleman is sick at home, and we really can't be busy." Xu Wenbi listened and smiled: "This can be said to be a lot of work for those who are capable."

While talking, Yin Zhengmao, Liu Yingjie and others arrived.Seeing that everyone had arrived, Sun Long, who had been standing at the door with a whisk in his hand, bowed to leave, and was going to invite the emperor.Xu Wenbi stopped him and said, "Eunuch Sun, I haven't seen that little monkey of Wei Chao for a few days. Where did he go?"

Sun Long said with a smile: "If you go back to the father-in-law, the emperor will send him to Nanzhili to do something." Seeing that Xu Wenbi had no other orders, he hurried away.

Zhang Siwei used his brain too much these days, and he was suspicious of anything he heard. Seeing Xu Wenbi frowning and pondering after his questioning, he couldn't figure it out, and only tried to guess what Wei Chao could do when he went to the south.

While thinking about it, Sun Long entered the door again and said, "Several adults and slaves are here." So he led the way, took them to the East Nuan Pavilion of Yangxin Hall, opened the curtain with his own hands, and let the group led by Duke Dingguo enter the hall.

Zhu Yijun was already sitting behind the imperial case.After a few of them came in to worship and dance, they smiled and said, "No ceremony, let's all sit." These few were used to relaxing in front of the imperial court. After hearing the words, thank you. They sat on the small pier opposite each other according to the seat order. Tea was also placed on the coffee table in front of them.

Zhu Yijun said, "I called you here today because I have a few things to arrange."

"First, the negotiation between Xu Guangqi and Felipe broke down completely. We took back Luzon and Manlajia estimated that we still had to do a few games with Spain. The Privy Council had to make a temple calculation, the Political Affairs Hall would cooperate, and the navy had to step up training. That's it." Duke Ding hurriedly bowed to the decree, and Zhang Siwei agreed.

"Nevertheless, there is no need to worry about this matter - then Spain has no courage to tear its face with us, but after this meeting, the corresponding preparations have to be made."

"The second thing is that Annan's puppet emperor Guangxing actually got in touch with the Ruan family during the Chinese New Year. Ruan's family suddenly attacked and killed the Zheng Song family. The messenger brought the head north to beg for mercy. Recruiting envoys - north of Qinghua City, all land will be donated to the imperial court."

When Zhang Siwei heard this, he didn't know what it was like.The Zheng Song family has supported the line of Emperor Guangxing in all dynasties, but due to the southward attack of the imperial court, Emperor Guangxing actually staged a coup d'etat, beheading Zheng Song's head to flatter the country - there is also a storm pavilion in Annan.

When he looked at Xu Wenbi, Duke Dingguo opposite, he sneered when he heard the news, knowing that this guy wanted to be with him.

After listening to Zhu Yijun, he continued: "The third thing is that Annan has already made a preliminary decision, and the Governor of Burma will be returned. The political affairs hall should propose a replacement candidate as soon as possible, and recommend Governor Annan." Zhang Siwei hurriedly bowed to the purpose.

Zhu Yijun paused and said: "The situation in Annan, Burma, Luzon and Manlajia in the South Pacific, the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council should be closely coordinated and considered as one. The Political Affairs Hall also needs to study, how to incorporate the newly occupied land in Annan into the territory? To the light How Xing's answer should be considered together with the situation in Nanyang - you don't have to ask me, and I don't want to understand it."
