Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 257 Parties (4)

"Mr. Han Ge, have you been up all night?"

Outside Duanmen, Wu Liangsi, the military officer who was going to the Sixth Section's direct room, saw Han Xu's figure, walked forward with a smile, and said with concern: "Mr. Han Ge, please take care of yourself, the cabinet is burdened with It’s not a big deal, it’s extremely important to the DPRK.”

"I asked Wu Du to remonstrate with me."

Han Xu frowned slightly and glanced at Wu Liangsi, "I have slept too much. I know the importance of the cabinet's responsibilities."

After saying this, Han Xu flicked his sleeves and walked towards the Meridian Gate with his head held high.

Han Xu's red robe looked so small compared with the red palace walls in the distance. A ray of golden light fell from the clouds, making the Forbidden City shine golden.

"It's really enough to pretend."

Wu Liangsi stood there, looking at Han Xu's back quietly, and behind Wu Liangsi, a man came up at this moment, looking at Han Xu with disdain on his face, and said with disdain in his words.

"Du Jian, why do you care about Han Xu?"

The man frowned slightly, looked at Wu Liangsi and said, "As far as I know, many people went to Ye Xianggao's residence last night, and Han Xu also went."

"Don't I know this?"

Wu Liangsi smiled half-heartedly, lifted up the sleeves of his robe and said, "I also know that Qian Qianyi secretly went to the Jiaofang Department last night and drank a lot of wine."

"There is still such a thing?"

The man was shocked and said in disbelief: "Isn't Qian Qianyi's reputation in the Donglin Party very high? Why didn't Qian Qianyi go to the banquet last night and went to the Jiaofang Division instead? "

"don't know?"

Wu Liangsi raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I'm a stupid official, please give me advice and clear up my confusion."

The man's attitude was respectful and he saluted Wu Liangsi.

"Talk while you walk."

Seeing that there were more people coming in and out of Duanmen, Wu Liangsi said calmly, among the many government offices in Beijing, except for the cabinet, the Sixth Section is the closest to the palace. From Duanmen to Meridian Gate, there are two sides of the wide road. Most of the value-for-money rooms belong to Liuke Direct House, followed by Shangbaosi and Zhongshuke, which also reflects the special status of Liuke.

Even though the rank of the six-section officials is not high, they are humble but powerful. In Ke-dao, the former refers to the six-section, and the latter refers to the various Tao under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The officials and censors of Ke-dao are in The central officialdom of the Ming Dynasty occupies a transcendent position.

Part of the party struggle in the central temple of the Ming Dynasty started from Kedao. Just a privilege that was heard about made many people think wrongly.

"Qian Qianyi wants to fight."

As Wu Liangsi walked towards the military branch, he said with a calm expression: "Very few people have noticed this matter. Even many members of the Donglin Party have not noticed it."

"Then why did he go to the Jiaofang Department?"

The man following him frowned and said: "Logically speaking, Ye Xianggao's prestige is different. If we really want to be promoted, he will definitely be the one with the highest voice."

"So Qian Qianyi should avoid it."

The corner of Wu Liangsi's mouth turned up slightly and he said, "Do you know about the traitor record? Do you know that the Independent Commission Against Corruption is supervising the Cangchang case?"

"know."

The man nodded and said: "His Fifth Highness made a fuss in the cabinet and scolded so many people. There are quite a few people in the court talking about it."

"So the banquet last night was probably due to the opening of sea trade, river politics, and even more to warehouses and water transportation."

Wu Liangsi said leisurely: "It is difficult to guess the emperor's thoughts now. No one knows at all what the emperor is thinking and what he wants to do.

As far as I know, in addition to the Donglin Party, the Qi Party, the Zhejiang Party, the Xuan Party, the Kun Party and other factions all gathered together last night to discuss the current situation of the court. "We are not the same.

When the man heard this, he secretly said something in his heart.

As a giant of the Chu Party, Wu Liangsi's status in the Chu Party is very high, even on par with the party leader Ying Zhen. As for Xiong Tingbi, it is just a card. At least Xiong Tingbi did not get involved too much, but for various reasons Well, there are many people who want Xiong Tingbi to join the Chu Party, but Xiong Tingbi doesn't say much else about this.

Factions are complex because politics itself is complex.

"There is one thing that concerns many people right now, and that is the Tianjin Port."

Wu Liangsi continued: "Especially for the Tianjin Thirteenth Bank, as far as the rumors are concerned, as long as the people involved are not high-ranking officials in Beijing, the matter will be easier to handle.

It is precisely they who are involved.

Do you know what this means?The emperor is keeping an eye on Shanghai affairs. I have to say that the emperor's vision is really vicious. I am afraid that the emperor will know about some fishy things. "

"Then why don't people from the Zhejiang Party make any movement?"

The man said doubtfully: "After all, in this matter, if the opening of the sea to Tianjin succeeds, then the profits they will lose will be quite large."

"Because they don't dare to gamble anymore, they have to wait and see first."

Wu Liangsi said: "As long as Fang Congzhe's first assistant has not been dismissed by the emperor, there are so many people in the court eyeing the position of first assistant and second assistant, what else would Sun Ruyou dare to do.

But the positions of first assistant and second assistant are still vacant so far. No matter how many memorials are submitted, the emperor will ignore them.

This means that the initiative is always in the hands of the emperor.

Don't look at the current situation in the DPRK, which seems to be in chaos.

But have you ever thought that this may be what the emperor wants? Now Sun Ruyou and the others are just waiting for the Donglin Party members to come out and object. "

"But the Donglin Party members are not dealing with us... no, they are not dealing with the Zhejiang Party."

The man said in surprise.

Originally, he wanted to say, don't deal with us. This us refers to the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang Party and other factions. It was only when he saw the look in Wu Liangsi's eyes that he changed his mind.

"Otherwise, you are still too young and have not seen the secret behind this."

Wu Liangsi smiled and said: "I hope that the trend set off in the government will start with maritime affairs, so that warehouses and water transportation will not be so eager to take the lead."

"But what if Cui Chengxiu and the others insist on clinging to Cangchang and draw fire to the water transportation?"

The man frowned and said, "Water transport can't withstand inspection."

"So what we have to do next is to continue to provide advice."

Wu Liangsi suppressed his smile and said: "The vacant positions of the first and second assistants of the cabinet must be formed as soon as possible. At present, whether it is maritime affairs or water transportation, the Zhejiang Party cannot get rid of it. He said It’s uncertain, the next court situation will become very interesting.”

Having said this, Wu Liangsi flicked his sleeves and walked towards the military department's direct room with his head held high.

The Chu party spokesman who followed Wu Liangsi wanted to say something else, but many officials came over, hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked towards the engineering department.

For some reason, the man thought this was an opportunity.

If he could find out some information, his status within the Chu Party might rise a lot, and his career would then rise accordingly.

However, the one who failed in all the engineering subjects was none other than Qian Menggao, a member of the Qi Party.

In the central court of the Ming Dynasty, nothing was simple. Often one thing would involve other things, which also caused the complexity of the court situation.
