Chapter 626 It's the chickens pecking each other

After Kong Zheng finished speaking, Zhou Jiang was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized.

"So it is! I see!"

"Just understand?"

Kong Zheng smiled bitterly.

He thought about it just now, and felt that it was better for this kind of thing to happen earlier than later.

This is a political struggle, an obvious political struggle, a political struggle that is destined to happen. It is impossible for the major factions in the Ming court to live together in harmony.

This is inevitable.

In this political struggle, it is an indisputable fact that Shandong has become the biggest loser.

Kong Zheng was very frustrated by this, but at the same time, he also saw a glimmer of life in it - everyone's level of political struggle is quite good.

Kong Zheng reviewed the ins and outs of this incident by himself.

The first is Kong Zheng himself.

Because of his natural identity and fame and Su Yonglin's promotion, Kong Zheng quickly became the leader of Shandong officials in the court.

Everyone gathered around Kong Zheng. Although they each had their own interests and demands, they were not monolithic, but when faced with several other factions, they would obviously still stay warm.

Kong Zheng has obtained the most important discourse power among this faction with his own power and status. Although it is impossible to compare with the political era of the old clan, the alliance of regional factions has a certain cohesion.

However, Kong Zheng was the first time to take up a real official position and the first time he was the speaker of the faction alliance. He had no experience in organizing or political struggle, and he did not do well in this regard.

He did not restrain the officials in the faction, did not advance and retreat in unison, and did not communicate with his friends in a timely manner when he made concessions, but instead caused infighting in the faction and a decline in his own influence.

So that some people in the faction didn't trust him, they didn't discuss with him beforehand, and they directly took care of the big issue of Keshang. As a result, they were beaten to death by Su Yonglin, which affected the current situation.

Whether it is Kong Zheng or the Shandong branch, they are all very young in terms of political struggle.

But others may not do well.

For example, Huo Jianbai, one of the leaders of the Yanyun family.

This time, the Shandong Department handed the knife to the other major factions to find an insert. Huo Jianbai and Kong Zheng have not dealt with it since they met, and will definitely not give up the opportunity to fall into the trap, so he directly expressed his attitude on the table, and his words were fierce and in his words. It reflects a relatively clear idea of ​​wanting to kill Kong Zheng.

But why didn't he think more carefully?
One month after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a minister who had just been appointed for a month was sacked, and a high-ranking government official was sacked. So is it the issue of the minister or the emperor himself?

Moreover, the death of Kong Zheng and the collapse of the Shandong system are really good for the Ming Dynasty?
Kong Zheng was self-taught without a teacher, and suddenly understood this truth.

He understood the reason why Su Yonglin sent Huo Jianbai's performance table directly to the Ministry of Rites, instead of directly disposing of it.

The way of government is the way of checks and balances. The Yanyun faction is now a strong party, and they want to take advantage of the chaos to kill the Shandong faction in one go, but this is not in line with the emperor's way of checks and balances to maintain the stability of the court.

When the Ming Dynasty was first built, the balance between the four major forces inherited from the era of the General Affairs Bureau was also rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty Hall. This was the time for stability, and when the Ming Dynasty was first built, there was an urgent need for stability and work, not nothing. A ceaseless power struggle.

The emperor can keep the forces of all parties in the court at a relatively average level, but he will never destroy a faction arbitrarily, unless the faction is out of mind and wants to rebel.

The Shandong department did go a little too far this time, which attracted the emperor to suppress it.

But the emperor didn't want to overturn a boat with a stick, he just wanted to kill the chickens as an example.

Huo Jianbai was upset when he saw Kong Zheng, and was anxious to kill Kong Zheng and the Shandong Department together, but he never thought that Su Yonglin didn't want to take down Kong Zheng at all.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the emperor didn't have so many twists and turns, how could he have taken down the Minister of Rites directly because of some unsightly fellows just a month after the founding of the country?
You can't do it even if you look like it.

Therefore, Huo Jianbai obviously made the mistake of quick success.

Kong Zheng thought that if he was Huo Jianbai, he should sing a double reed together with his helper.

The helper asked for a severe punishment for Kong Zheng. It would be better to dismiss him, ask him for guilt, or even behead, and consecrate the new dynasty. In short, no matter how severe it is, the number of people on the list should not be too many, but it must not be too small. To impress the emperor.

Then Huo Jianbai himself should defend Kong Zheng, say good things to him, plead with the emperor, and ask the emperor not to punish Kong Zheng severely, but to give him a chance to reform, refute the opinions that demanded severe punishment of Kong Zheng, and be a good person. .

In this way, you can gain the favor of the emperor, as well as the officials of the Shandong department who do not know the truth, and also gain the reputation of taking care of the overall situation and being magnanimous.

But Huo Jianbai didn't do this, but led the forces of his faction to attack Kong Zheng together, trying to beat the underdog and beat himself to death with a stick.

This can only aggravate the resentment of the surviving Shandong officials against Huo Jianbai and Yanyun, and also arouse the vigilance against Huo Jianbai of the Yuan Cong and foreign clans.

Huo Jianbai's political level is evident because of his eloquence, but then he loses popularity.

Kong Zheng thought about it this way, and felt that everyone's political level was really good.

I want the other person to die, but I don't know how best to do it.

I want to go straight, but I don't realize that the political struggle in the court sometimes doesn't allow straight going.

But that's not everyone's fault.

Kong Zheng felt that Su Yonglin had to bear the main responsibility.

The reason why everyone is so good is mainly because Su Yonglin built the country too fast. It took only four years from the rebellion to the founding of the country, which can be called building the country at the speed of light. This made him not only young, but many important ministers were also very young.

They are young and quick to do things, do things in place, and have a lot of energy. They can concentrate their strength and rush forward. They can solve some things that the old official circles can't solve or don't want to solve, and can make the country stronger quickly.

But in contrast, everyone's experience in political struggle is seriously lacking.

The destruction of the Jin Kingdom by the Restoration Army was a very violent revolutionary action, and everything was achieved based on the premise of force, so the losses of the Jin Kingdom officials were quite serious.

After conquering the Central Capital, Su Yonglin showed no mercy. He conducted a large-scale public trial and purge of the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom. Many senior officials of the Jin Kingdom were dragged outside by Su Yonglin to be interrogated in public, the charges were declared, and then they were executed in public.

Many high-ranking officials of the Privy Council, high-ranking officials of Shangshu Province, and the royal family of the Jin Kingdom were killed by Su Yonglin, and none of them survived.

To this day, the scheming and scheming masters of the Central Golden State have basically been eliminated by Su Yonglin, and even the ashes have been raised, and they have long since ceased to exist. Of course, the subtle political struggles they mastered have not been handed down.

The rest of the people who were included in the Ming Dynasty were marginal figures at that time or middle and low-level, technocrats, etc. Even if they had fighting experience, they were all at the office level.

This level of fighting technology is not on the same level as the fundamental political struggle tactics of the central bosses.

Under such circumstances, it is indeed difficult for them to expect them to be able to create a high-level political struggle when the Ming Kingdom was just a month old.

It is indeed impossible to become a master of power without a few political struggles. Only with more experience, more trial and error, struggling to survive in the whirlpool of political struggles in the imperial court, and living to the end, can you become a real master of power. .

To reach this goal, everyone today still needs to walk a relatively long political road.

Anyway, this time everyone basically belongs to the chickens pecking each other?

Pecks and pecks, except for Su Yonglin who achieved his goal, no one else has achieved their goal, just like a puppet in Su Yonglin's hand, he was tossed and played around with him.

From the current point of view, the emperor's rank is obviously an order of magnitude higher than them. If they want to fight on the same level as the emperor, they are not qualified.

With this emotion in mind, Kong Zheng shook his head and began to write his own guilt form.
