Ming politicians

Chapter 549 Combination of Interests

() Cao Huachun has his own force.

After so many years, he naturally wants to cultivate his own power. Even if he leaves the palace, the admiral of the Beijing camp still has a lot of power. Although he is not as good as Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen has a restrained personality. He seldom makes friends with ministers, and spends most of his time with the emperor, so Cao Huachun's previous relationships are still maintained.

This time, in order to promote the success of the impeachment, or to form a turbulent formation, Cao Huachun racked his brains. He first needed to figure out how this impeachment memorial was formed, and whether it was groundless. As some people guessed, it was a farce created by some idling Shizhong and Yushi who wanted to become famous. If this is the case, then we need to be more cautious. The emperor will definitely not be polite when the matter is finally exposed. .

Cao Huachun did not spend much effort to inquire about this aspect.

The news that he got made Cao Huachun a little ecstatic. He didn't expect that the formation of this memorial had a lot to do with officials in Shaanxi. That is to say, some of the materials in the memorial came from officials in Shaanxi. It is a blockbuster. You must know that when Shaanxi is involved, Su Tiancheng is involved. Whether it is attacking Sun Chengzong from the front or attacking Su Tiancheng from the side, unexpected results can be achieved.

Having been by the emperor's side for many years, Cao Huachun has sufficient confidence.

It is certain that the emperor has made great efforts to govern the country, and he also wants to build a good Ming Dynasty, but the emperor has a fatal weakness, that is, paranoia.Especially officials who hold important positions in opponents have a natural suspicion.

In fact, this is not a weakness.How can you allow other people to snore beside the couch? If the ministers below have too much power, and even threaten the imperial power, the emperor will of course feel uncomfortable. He won't say it out of his mouth. up.Naturally, there will be problems. Besides, the environment in which the emperor grew up is different. He used to be trembling for fear of being plotted against by Wei Zhongxian. At that time, Wei Zhongxian had a lot of power in his hands.

Today's Sun Chengzong and Su Tiancheng.Although it can't be compared with Wei Zhongxian, but after a long time, who can say clearly, if these two people are swayed by profit and bold, one day they want to rebel.Wouldn't the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have to suffer heavy losses, or even fall apart, without the invasion of Houjin and the harassment of bandits?

After a few days, Cao Huachun grasped some situations.Decided to meet Wen Tiren in person.

He had already thought about the rhetoric, and the eunuch had no other skills.Talking is very powerful, every day in the palace, if you can't speak, don't know how to observe words, and can't figure out people's hearts, then don't think about messing around.

Wen Tiren was hesitant when he received Cao Huachun's secret letter.

He has been in the cabinet for so many years, but he has never had anything to do with the eunuchs in the palace. After becoming the chief assistant of the cabinet, he looks down on eunuchs from the bottom of his heart. He has learned from Wei Zhongxian in front of him. Wen Tiren has always believed that eunuchs are crippled people , The heart is also incomplete, and the biggest manifestation is that you will be vengeful and care about every detail, and you may offend if you say a certain sentence.

Wen Tiren also strongly opposed eunuchs interfering in government affairs. Although the eunuchs Bingbi and Zhangyin were always by the emperor's side, as the leader of the official, Wen Tiren did not forget to remind the emperor not to trust middle officials too much. This is not in line with the ancestral system Yes, in history, there have been many eunuchs messing up the country.

This is a moment.

The situation is different this time. His position as the chief assistant of the cabinet is in jeopardy. If the current situation develops according to the current situation, one day, Sun Chengzong will be in power. After so many years, there is still a Xu family. If they plot secretly, they may not die well.

Being in the center of power for a long time, Wen Tiren's thoughts are extremely complicated, which is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

After a whole day of thinking, Wen Tiren finally made a decision to meet Cao Huachun.

He was thinking very safely, meeting is not a big deal, if there is a difference in the two people's understanding, then the meeting will not happen this time, if the two people's understanding is highly consistent, why don't they cooperate with each other? If you use it a bit, you may have good results.

This is a secret residence of Cao Huachun, almost no one knows about it.

Seeing Wen Tiren who was wearing a bamboo hat and covering his face, Cao Huachun felt chills in his heart. It seemed that Wen Tiren still looked down on him.What the eunuch hates the most is that others look down on him, and if he encounters such a thing, he will remember it for the rest of his life.

But now he had to unite with Wen Tiren.

"My lord, my servant greets you."

"No need, father-in-law. I dare not accept your greetings. I came to your mansion today to discuss matters. When father-in-law meets me, there must be something that needs to be discussed. Let's get straight to the point."

"Your Excellency is worthy of being a hero. Although the servants are disabled, they still care about the government. The servants have been by the emperor's side for many years, and they always remember the emperor. They are afraid that someone will harm the emperor. No, the servants have heard that the court Someone impeached Mr. Sun Chengzong, the slaves were very surprised. Mr. Sun is the elder of the two dynasties. He has always been very prestigious. He is also deeply relied on by the former emperor and the emperor. The slaves couldn't believe that such a thing happened, so they secretly inquired. I also wanted to cheer for Mr. Sun, but I didn't expect some things that the slaves know, which is really incomprehensible."

"Your father-in-law knows these things, if you have any doubts, just report to the emperor directly, there is no need to go to the official to make irresponsible remarks. If you do this, if there is a censor impeaching you and me, wouldn't it be clear?"

"Your Excellency, please don't have such thoughts. The servants know their own weight, and it is impossible to compare with the adults. The adults are the chief assistant of the cabinet and the most important ministers of the emperor. The servants know that the adults must care about the government. If In the middle of the imperial court, there was a disturbance in the court, and my lord must be decisive to find out. Now, the servant has learned some news and has come to report to the lord. Please think about it. If the lord thinks that the slave is causing trouble for nothing, the servant will stop here and never Dare to say half a word more, if the adults decide that what the servant said has some truth, the servant will feel relieved and dare to report to the emperor."

"Oh, I don't know what news my father-in-law has."

"The news about slaves is actually known to everyone. Mr. Sun supported the governor of Shaanxi, Mr. Su Tiancheng. Shaanxi abolished the guard army and formed a new army. It also reformed the taxation system and opened a mutual market. Shaanxi The rogues in the territory also fled to Sichuan, and the Mongolian tribes did not dare to attack. Also, the royal family members entered the court and began to grasp power, and they might be promoted soon."

"My father-in-law said this, but I don't understand. Isn't this a good thing."

"Your servant doesn't see it that way. On the surface, Su Tiancheng has made great contributions, but behind this contribution is that he has shaken the foundation of my Ming Dynasty."

Although we couldn't see Wen Tiren's face, Cao Huachun felt that Wen Tiren began to concentrate, and his body could express a person's thoughts. When Wen Tiren first came in, his body was relaxed, and when he sat down, he was somewhat casual , was always ready to leave, but at this time, Wen Tiren's legs were slightly closed, and his body was straightened up.

"My father-in-law said so, but I didn't think of it. I would like to hear the details."

"Think about it, my lord. These things are all suggestions made by Lord Sun Chengzong and Lord Su Tiancheng. It is said that the Jiangning Camp has always been under the control of Su Tiancheng. It seems that the changes that have occurred in my Daming these years It is Su Tiancheng's credit. When it comes to exterminating the bandits, including the fight against Houjin, everyone thinks of Su Tiancheng. No one thinks of the emperor. The servants are very worried. As time goes by, a few years later, Or after more than ten years, everyone in the world knows about Su Tiancheng, but not necessarily the emperor. At that time, no one can say for sure what will happen..."

If these words were spoken in normal times, Wen Tiren would definitely scold Cao Huachun angrily. According to Cao Huachun's point of view, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would not dare to do things. Whoever did good things and made Ming Dynasty develop has ulterior motives. Everyone is messing around and fooling around. The emperor, on the contrary, has merit.

But this time, Wen Tiren will not say that he is clear about the origin of the impeachment memorial, and I believe Cao Huachun is also clear about it. At this time, it is indeed a good way to think about the future and stir up the emperor's suspicion. Although it may not be effective immediately, but the emperor became suspicious and doubted Sun Chengzong, Su Tiancheng and others. Meaning.

Wen Tiren also knew some of the emperor's thoughts. While trusting the minister, he was also skeptical and secretly defensive. The emperor was like this. He needed to stabilize his own rule, and it was impossible for the minister of civil and military affairs to have too much power.

Following Cao Huachun's narration, Wen Tiren was slowly moved.

He has already thought that if he unites with Cao Huachun, Cao Huachun can mobilize the power in the palace, and he can agitate the civil and military ministers in the court. In this way, Sun Chengzong may not be able to withstand the unexpected effects of attacks from two sides. Take a step back and say, At Sun Chengzong's age, if he fell ill due to anger, he would not be able to act as an agent of the government, and the matter of serving as the chief assistant of the cabinet could only be left alone.

As for the alliance between him and Cao Huachun, that is, this time, Cao Huachun must be able to gain benefits, so it doesn't matter, since it is an alliance, both parties must benefit, otherwise such an alliance will not be established.
