Chapter 187 Yu Qian’s cleverness

Yu Qian has been thinking about whether to talk to Zhu Qiyu. If he did, what would Zhu Qiyu think of him? Do you think you have betrayed him?

Even if Zhu Qiyu doesn't think so, it is estimated that Zhu Qiyu will have a grudge.

That's how Wen Chen and others do things. They won't beat you to death at once, but will slowly pull you into the trap. It's the same this time.

Yu Qian can go, and Zhu Qiyu will not abandon Yu Qian, but he will definitely alienate Yu Qian.

This is what those civil servants want to see.

But Yu Qian is in charge of the Ministry of War. Without the support of the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is absolutely impossible.

Moreover, there are four other departments behind Chen Xun. In addition to the Ministry of Industry, Chen Xun can mobilize all of them and put pressure on Yu Qian.

Even with the Ministry of Industry, Chen Xun can figure it out.

So Yu Qian looked at Chen Xun and said, "Even if Jiang Yuan doesn't join the cabinet, he will definitely join the Ministry of Household Affairs!"

"That depends on how Yu Shaobao negotiates!" Chen Xun looked at Yu Qian and said with a smile.

He knew that Yu Qian would compromise, and Gao Gu was also very happy. In fact, they always knew how to deal with Yu Qian. Yu Qian wanted to do some facts, but if he wanted to do the facts, it would not work without the support of no one. They also used this to control Yu Qian.

Although in terms of status, today's Gao Gu is not worthy of carrying Yu Qian's shoes, but the special nature of the cabinet allows Gao Gu to be able to manipulate Yu Qian.

Yu Qian thought for a moment again and said: "If Jiang Yuan joins the Ministry of Household Affairs and Yu Gang joins the cabinet, then I can talk about it, but if not, I won't talk about it!"

Chen Xun and Gao Gu looked at each other. Gao Gu nodded slightly. Chen Xun said: "Okay, this is also the bottom line for us. If possible, Jiang Yuan will not move and Yu Gang will join the cabinet!"

"Impossible, the crossbow played a huge role in this battle. Jiang Yuan led the Ministry of Works to make [-] crossbows and [-] arrows in five days. It is a credit in itself. Your Majesty cannot refuse to reward it!" Yu Qian immediately shook his head and said, There is no room for negotiation on this matter.

"Okay, in that case, when will the earliest we wait for news from you be?" Chen Xun looked at Yu Qian and said.

"Tomorrow night! I will give you news tomorrow night!" Yu Qian said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, but we still want to suspend the Ministry of War's reorganization of the army! We can't do large-scale reorganization!" Chen Xun looked at Yu Qian and said.

Yu Qian looked at Chen Xun sideways, very dissatisfied!

Doesn't Chen Xun know what Yu Qian means? Other ministers in the cabinet may be afraid of Yu Qian, but Chen Xun is not afraid. Chen Xun has a higher status in the court than Yu Qian.

"At the latest in April next year, we can restart and rectify another health center under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion. Now the staff department is very busy. With so many officials vacant, the staff department can't handle it!" Chen Xun then explained to Yu Qian. .

"November! No matter how late it is, I don't want to delay this matter, otherwise, there will be no rectification effect!" Yu Qian's tone left no room for negotiation.

After hearing this, Chen Xun sighed and did not answer Yu Qian directly, but was thinking about it.

"February, how about it?" Chen Xun thought for a moment and asked Yu Qian.

Yu Qian didn't speak, just drank tea with a tea cup.

"It can't be any earlier. As you know, the officials are really overwhelmed!" Chen Xun looked at Yu Qian helplessly and said.

"If Wang Zhi is too busy, he can change people or add more people! Besides, this year only some officials have been rectified and punished, and other officials have not been transferred. Why can't he be too busy?" Yu Qian said very dissatisfied. He was too busy. It's just an excuse, they still hope they don't have to rectify it.

Chen Xun and Gao Gu also smiled bitterly after hearing this.

"Just November!" Yu Qian continued.

The two of them couldn't help but nod. Regarding Yu Qian, although they wanted to bring him down, it was really not that easy to bring him down. Even though Yu Qian was extremely upright, he also had many followers. If they wanted to frame Yu Qian, they couldn't. Not that easy.

"That's it, eh!" Yu Qian saw them nodding and couldn't help but sigh. If you want to do something, you still need negotiation and the approval of the cabinet. Originally, the cabinet was only the fifth grade, but since Renzong, the cabinet has also Things began to change slowly, and then under Xuanzong, Sanyang came to power, and the power of the cabinet became more and more powerful. Now, the chief assistant of the cabinet is Chen Xun, who is also the minister of the six ministries.

Therefore, in recent years, the cabinet has become vaguely on an equal footing with the six ministries, and has the potential to surpass it.

This is what Yu Qian doesn't want to see. The cabinet, to put it bluntly, is the emperor's secretarial agency. But now this agency wants to compete for power with the emperor, and also wants to suppress the six ministries and compete for power.

Yu Qian really didn't want to take care of those messy things. He just wanted to manage the military department well, rectify the army, and let the army win the war.

Yu Qian didn't think about anything else. He was just a minister. He really couldn't think about so many things. It was not easy to do anything well.

Chen Xun and Gao Gu sat in Yu Qian's house for a while before leaving. After Yu Qian saw them off, he returned to the tea table and smiled bitterly. Those civil servants were poisonous and very calculating.

They wanted to alienate the trust between themselves and Zhu Qiyu, and they also knew that they had a very good relationship with Lin Cunde, so they forced themselves to talk about this matter for the sake of Lin Cunde becoming an earl.

Yu Qian sat there alone thinking about this matter. Almost two-quarters of an hour later, Yu Kang came in and prepared to clear the tea table.

"How long has it been since your brother-in-law returned to Beijing?" Yu Qian suddenly asked.

"Ah, it's almost a month and a half!" After hearing this, Yu Kang stood up straight and answered Yu Qian's questions.

"So long? What have you been doing?" Yu Qian was very surprised. Zhu Ji disappeared after cleaning up the Sun family last time, along with hundreds of Jin Yiwei. No one knew where they went, and together they disappeared. Among those who disappeared were a Fu Qianhu and a Qianhu!

They disappeared, probably on business, but no one knew what they were doing.

Yu Kang seemed to have thought of something and said to Yu Qian again: "By the way, Dad, my brother-in-law seems to have sent a letter to my eldest sister, saying that it will take almost a month to return to Beijing, so don't worry!"

"Another month?" Yu Qian looked up at Yu Kang and asked.

"Counting the days, it will take almost twenty days!" Yu Kang answered after careful calculation.

"Well, okay!" Yu Qian nodded and stopped asking. He stood up and prepared to go to the palace.

Today I will go see Zhu Qiyu first to see if I can talk to Zhu Qiyu and see if Zhu Qiyu agrees to exchange Lin Cunde for the title of earl in exchange for Jiang Yuanbu joining the cabinet.

If you can agree, that would be the best. If you can't agree, it is estimated that this will be the beginning of breaking your trust in Zhu Qiyu.

Yu Qian arrived at Qianqing Palace quickly. Seeing Yu Qian coming, Cheng Jing quickly went in to report. Yu Qian arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, and Cheng Jing led Yu Qian in.

When Yu Qian arrived at the imperial study, he saw Zhu Qiyu processing the memorial, and the supervisor of etiquette was waiting beside him.

"Minister, Yu Qian pays homage to Your Majesty!" Yu Qian walked to Zhu Qiyu and saluted Zhu Qiyu.

"Well, Yu Aiqing, please wait a moment. I will talk to you after I finish processing this memorial!" Zhu Qiyu raised his head and nodded to Yu Qian. He continued to lower his head and read the memorial. After reading, Zhu Qiyu held up a brush stained with cinnabar. , start commenting.

After finishing the annotation, Zhu Qiyu handed the memorial to Wang Cheng.

Although there is an eunuch Bingbi, Zhu Qiyu still likes to write Zhu Qiyu himself. Unless he is very tired, he will let the eunuch Bingbi write.

"Come on, Yu Aiqing, come over here and drink tea!" Zhu Qiyu said to Yu Qian with a smile.

Zhu Qiyu still trusts Yu Qian very much, so every time Yu Qian comes to the imperial study, Zhu Qiyu always gives him face.

When he reached the tea table, Zhu Qiyu sat down, made an invitation gesture to Yu Qian, and then started making tea: "Yu Aiqing, is there anything important?"

"Well, something happened. Just now, Mr. Chen Ge and Mr. Gao Ge went to the minister's house to discuss some matters with me. I couldn't make the decision, so I came over to ask for your Majesty's instructions!" Yu Qian said to Yu Qian respectfully.

Yu Qian is very smart. He maintains enough respect for Zhu Qiyu. Unlike when he faced Emperor Yongle, Renzong, and Xuanzong before, he was rebellious, upright, and outspoken at that time. Now, he is over fifty, and Zhu Qiyu had just ascended the throne, and his heart was very sensitive and fragile. Instead, Yu Qian put back his previous aggressive momentum and remained humble in front of Zhu Qiyu.

I just don’t want to sting Zhu Qiyu’s sensitive and fragile nerves, and I don’t want to be hated by Zhu Qiyu.

When he was young, he was energetic and fearless. Now that he has passed the age of knowing his destiny, Yu Qian also has weaknesses and people he wants to protect, so he has become more and more peaceful.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian curiously and asked.

After hearing this, Yu Qian deliberately pretended to think deeply and appeared to be embarrassed. In fact, Yu Qian had already thought about his excuse.

"Just say it, no need to worry!" Zhu Qiyu said with a smile when he saw Yu Qian's troubled face.

"Yes, I'll just say it!" Yu Qian stood up, raised his hands to Zhu Qiyu, and continued: "This morning, Chen Xun and Gao Gu came to my house together to ask for my opinions on the candidates for the cabinet, and talked about the recent Among the things that happened in the DPRK, they were more inclined to Yu Gang for the candidates for the cabinet. Jiang Yuan is now the Minister of Industry. If he serves as the cabinet minister, he will fight against Chen Xun. The cabinet will handle the affairs of the DPRK and China in the future. Opinions will differ greatly and it will be difficult to reach a consensus.

As Yu Gang was from Zhongshushe, it was appropriate for him to be transferred to the cabinet. Moreover, they said that they did not want to interfere too much with the matter of Lin Cunde becoming an earl. This was His Majesty's own business! "

Zhu Qiyu frowned when he heard what Yu Qian said before. When he heard that Yu Qian had heard about Lin Cunde's appointment as earl, he realized that it was a deal. Chen Xun and Gao Gu sent Yu Qian to make a deal with him.

"Well, that's it?" Zhu Qiyu poured tea for Yu Qian with a smile.

"Yes, that's it!" Yu Qian nodded immediately.

"Well, Yu Aiqing, what do you think, who is suitable to join the cabinet?" Zhu Qiyu continued to ask with a smile.
