Ming politicians

() (This is the last chapter before it goes on the shelves, and I feel anxious to meet the readers' big test.)

It was very late, after returning to the county office, Su Tiancheng didn't go back to the backyard immediately.

Qu Qingze also understood, and followed Su Tiancheng to the third hall.

Qu Qingze, Lu Tianming, and Liu Zhongji all lived in the county government office, but the place where they lived was between the second hall and the third hall. According to regulations, they must also live in the county government office.

Qu Qingze had analyzed it long ago. Dong Chang's coming to Jiangning County from the capital would definitely not be a trivial matter, but he also expressed his position that the emperor still trusts Su Tiancheng. If he really doesn't believe it, he must take action. If the measures are taken, it will be someone else who came. Of course, I must be somewhat responsible for not being able to truthfully report the situation by Su Tiancheng's side.

When such a situation happened, Qu Qingze did not regret it. He believed that Su Tiancheng was capable of accomplishing great things, and when the time came, the imperial court would definitely understand when the real achievements were made.

Besides, the imperial court did not intend to replace him, which meant that there was no problem for the time being.

But there must be something wrong here, someone is secretly planning, and it is not an ordinary person.

"Brother, I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. You must know something. If it's convenient, can you tell me that this is going to the capital soon. If you don't know what the situation is, you will seem a little passive."

Qu Qingze was also very serious, after hearing what Su Tiancheng said, he was still in deep thought.

Su Tiancheng's idea is very solid. Sending out to Jiangning County, although he has the actual power and can do a lot of things, but the flaw is also obvious, that is, he can't know the situation in the capital, his own future, and what he can do. No matter how big things are, they are all controlled by the capital, and the wind and grass in the capital will inevitably have some influence.

"When Mr. Dong came to Jiangning County, he once reprimanded me, saying that there were some things that he didn't know or didn't understand, but I obviously reported many things through Nanjing Neiwei, which is very strange."

In front of Su Tiancheng, there was no need for Qu Qingze to hide things and say something, because Su Tiancheng also treated him in the same way, mutual trust is the most important thing.

"Oh, you mean to say that Mr. Dong did not receive these memorials."

Qu Qingze nodded with a solemn expression.

Su Tiancheng blinked his eyes. From this point of view, the problem is a bit complicated.

As an accompanying capital, Nanjing not only has a Beijing camp, but also an internal guard. The Jinyiwei is not as powerful as the capital. Originally, the prince should be stationed in Nanjing, but after the Wanli period, the prince is usually in the capital, so the Jinyiwei did not There are many things, but many secret performances were passed on to the capital through Jin Yiwei.

Moreover, Jin Yiwei's secret performance can go directly to the emperor's hands.

There was a moment of silence in the room. There were not many people who could control the Jinyiwei. Dong Chang, as the governor of the Jinyiwei, the commander of the Nanjing Jinyiwei would never dare to suppress these memorials. Speaking of which, only the person in charge of the Jinyiwei commander , the command envoy will only do this after speaking.

As for the few questions Dong Chang asked, ordinary people would not know the information, such as the origin of the sergeant of the Jiangning County Inspection Department, the search of Kuang Siming's mansion, the many firearms seized, and the disposal of the remaining salt merchants.

Those who can know these things need to have an unusual identity.

"Brother, what do you think the problem is?"

Su Tiancheng finally mentioned the key point. In fact, he already had some guesses in his heart. Dong Chang mentioned a key matter, which was actually a disguised reminder to him, that is, the matter of contacting the two battalions in Nanjing. At present, there is only one person who appeals.

Qu Qingze looked very cautious, and thought for a while before speaking.

"According to my feeling, there is nothing wrong with Yingtianfu, the Sixth Division of Nanjing, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Their memorials have all passed the Sixth Division of Beijing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If there is such a problem, it should be a secret memorial."

Having said that, Qu Qingze stopped and looked at Su Tiancheng.

He felt that Su Tiancheng already had an idea in his heart.

"I also have the same idea. The four questions asked by Mr. Dong seem to be nothing on the surface, but they all point to the key points. If you think about it from another angle, you will come to a completely different conclusion. Some people's intentions , is too poisonous, brother, there is a critical issue, I don't know, I hope you can tell me."

"I don't know anything about the situation in the capital. I thought that I was doing things honestly in Jiangning County, but as an official of the court, I can't help myself in many things. If I am always in such a daze, I don't know when. It was calculated by others. You and I are all one, one is prosperous and the other is damaged, and it is no small matter for any one person to have a problem, so I hope you can tell me some specific situations."

"What do you want to know?"

"The situation in the palace."

The room was silent again, and at this moment, some questions loomed.

Qu Qingze was thinking about what to say, judging from Su Tiancheng's words, the finger had already been pointed at Wang Zhen, the eunuch in charge of Nanjing.

Wang Zhen was an eunuch in charge of ceremonies, and was sent to Nanjing to become a guarding eunuch.

"I don't know much about the affairs in the palace. After all, it is a very secret matter, but there is one thing that I can be sure of. Contradictions, they have their own different systems, the prince hardly makes friends with the court ministers, but Cao Cao has a lot of contacts with the court ministers."

"Well, I remember that the father-in-law is not allowed to have any contact with the court ministers."

"The situation has changed a long time ago. When Wei Zhongxian was in power, these rules and systems were completely destroyed. After the emperor ascended the throne, he wiped out Wei Zhongxian and restricted the power of middle officials. However, there were constant disputes among the court ministers, and the emperor was very angry. The system of middle-ranking officials supervising the military has been restored."

Su Tiancheng nodded. He was clear about these things. In September of the fourth year of Chongzhen, the eunuchs Wang Yingchao and Deng Xizhao monitored the military rations and rewards of the Guan, Ning, and Ji towns, and said that the middle officials began to supervise the army again, which had been abolished before. The system of dispatching eunuchs to supervise the army has been restored.

In fact, I also blame the court ministers for not being up to date. They took such an opportunity and didn’t know how to do things well. What they thought of was party struggle. From the first year of Chongzhen to the fourth year, for four full years, the cabinet was changed, making the court full of smog. Zhu Youjian was so disappointed that he used the servants around him.

"It makes sense to say that. In this world, there are no random things. The things I do will inevitably infringe on the interests of some people and become the target of others' attacks. Is it that easy to stretch out your hand?"

Su Tiancheng's face was very ugly.

Qu Qingze was a little surprised, afraid that Su Tiancheng would do something irrational, and in a hurry, he couldn't care less.

"My lord, even if you think of these things, you can't act rashly. Wang Zhen belongs to Eunuch Cao and has a lot of power. Even Lord Tang, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Lord Yin Wang of Yingtianfu would not dare to offend easily."

"Hehe, my brother knows about these things. You didn't remind me earlier. It's your fault. We've been working together for almost two months. Don't you know my style of doing things? Don't worry. "

Qu Qingze left anxiously.Su Tiancheng is indeed capable, and he has done what he wanted to do, but this kind of stubbornness is also what he is most worried about. If he is a little careless, his head is hotheaded, and he does irrational things, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Qu Qingze even thought of reporting to Mr. Dong immediately to prevent Su Tiancheng from doing stupid things.

Su Tiancheng's thinking is different. Imping Wang Zhen directly is definitely not valid. It's courting death. To do such a thing requires wisdom.

The conflict between Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen is the best focus.

Wang Zhen is a member of Cao Huachun. Everything he does is to protect Cao Huachun's interests. Of course, he also wants to belittle Wang Chengen.This kind of struggle is not a big deal, and it is normal to say it, but it is not normal if it involves oneself.

The key is that Wang Zhenyang's practice of obedience and disobedience annoyed Su Tiancheng.

Su Tiancheng wanted to maintain a good relationship, and he did not hesitate to send 2000 taels of gold to make friends with Wang Zhen. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhen took the property in one hand, and then attacked himself. Such a villain must not be tolerated.

From a more far-reaching point of view, Wang Chengen is defending himself, that is to say, he is the person Wang Chengen supports, and Wang Zhen is calculating himself, and the main goal may be aimed at Wang Chengen.

I'm going to the capital soon, and I'm going to meet the emperor, this is the best opportunity.

Wouldn't it be a pity that I couldn't grasp such a good opportunity.

No matter what the effect is, at least let the emperor have a good impression of himself, and will not easily believe Wang Zhen's words, and then slowly look for opportunities, through the conflict between Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun, squeeze Wang Zhen out, let Wang Zhen leave Nanjing .

Once this is achieved, many things will be easier to handle in the future.

If you want to do a good job in Jiangning County without too much interference, you must get the support from above.

Contradictions are looming. Su Tiancheng has never forgotten about Tang Haitai. Maybe Tang Shiji already has a certain opinion of himself in his heart. Wang Daozhi may support him, but he will not be meticulous.

The top leaders of Nanzhili are Tang Shiji, Wang Zhen, and Zhang Taining. Zhang Taining doesn't care about local affairs, so he doesn't need to think about it for now. If Tang Shiji and Wang Zhen both have opinions about themselves, they may even take action directly. , then his own situation seems very difficult.

When something comes up, just find a way to deal with it. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, so it's no big deal.
