Chapter 359 Political Struggle with Characteristics of Jiajing Dynasty
Xu Wei almost fell into the rain and cursed: "Do you dare?"
"I need to be calm and weigh the pros and cons," Chen Si whispered: "If the pros and cons outweigh the disadvantages, you dare." The scene of being tortured in the Beizhen Fushiya government flashed in front of my eyes, and he clenched his fists tightly and said, "Don't worry, I won't be a woman's kindness!"
"Okay," Xu Wei nodded and said, "Let's talk about his end first, what's good for us."
"There are many benefits." Silence counted: "Our biggest threat is lifted, Hu Zongxian can resurrect the fish, and Maritime Bureau can reopen," he said, scratching his cheeks and said, "I will be in a much better mood."
"Is this counting?" Xu Wei said with a dizzy look.
"Hehe," said silently, "I can't think of any other benefits."
"Okay, let's talk about the bad things." Xu Wei said.
"The disadvantages..." Chen Si said in a deep thought: "The disadvantages are also many. Without Li Mo's clampdown, Xu Jie could not support him alone, and the Yan Party would definitely become a big shot." He said with a wry smile: "I heard that Yan Song had always intended to let Zhao Wenhua go south. Once this villain was in a journey, I don't know how many people's fat and ointment were to be fed to the dogs in the southeast. This is second. There are so many shortcomings in the southeast this time. If they are all controlled by the Yan Party, the disaster may be no less than the Japanese/pirate rebellion."
He said, frowned and said, "If this cannot be solved, this matter must not be done."
Xu Wei sighed and said, "Can you just watch Li Mo go up?"
"No..." Chen Si's face was not very firm: "I believe that Yan Song will dominate the court for more than 20 years and will not be defeated so easily."
"But what if His Majesty wants him to be finished?" Xu Wei asked.
"You are a close minister of the emperor. What the emperor thinks? You know better than me!" Chen Shu said.
"Well..." Xu Wei touched his chin and said, "There is no sign. His Majesty's face was not good when he saw Li Mo's memorial several times."
"Look," Chen Si spread his hands, "so your problem is not a problem."
"The holy heart is unpredictable, brother!" Xu Wei said crazy: "I am not Sun Wukong, I can get into the emperor's belly! How do I know what he is thinking?!" He said, pointing to the rain curtain outside and said, "Please be careful, brother! Be awake and look outside. Now Li Mo holds a big stick in his hand and is powerful all over the world. No matter whether he is a member of the Yan Party or not, everyone is in danger, and no one dares to fight against him! I heard that Yan Shifan is eating black dog meat every time!" As he said, he said, "I'm not going to scold you..."
Silent nodded indifferently and said, "You are right, we really cannot pin our hopes on others."
"So you agree?" Xu Wei said with a relaxed expression.
"But there is a premise." Chen Mo said softly: "Zhao Wenhua must also be unlucky." He raised his head and said, "Except for what we have just said, he is the number one general of the Yan Party. If he is also done at the same time, the blow to the Yan Party can completely offset the benefits brought to the Yan Party."
"Haha..." Xu Wei suddenly laughed and said, "What we are discussing are two super ministers who are the first-rank official. Why do we talk about it? They are like fish on the chopping board?"
"You wanted to kill Li Mo first." Chen Mo rolled his eyes and said, "I just followed."
"I'm very sure," Xu Wei said with great pride: "Where are you?"
"I'm totally unsure." Chen Si spread his hands.
Xu Wei coughed twice, and when the sound of rain gradually became less, he stopped talking and said, "I will stay in your house tonight. If you want, come to my room. If you don't want, don't pay attention to me. I will leave when I get up tomorrow morning."
'Why are these words so ambiguous?' Chen Si cursed inwardly and nodded, "Let's go back."
When he returned to the house, he was in full swing. Xu Wei said he wanted to sleep for a while, so he was taken to the guest room.
By the time the lights were held, the rain had already stopped. After everyone had supper, they felt embarrassed to stay there, so they stood up and said goodbye. When they were about to find Xu Wei to go back to the shared residence together, the servant replied: "Mr. Xu is sleeping too heavily and can't wake up no matter how he calls."
"A basin of cold water will be solved." Sun Ying rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help. Chen Si quickly stopped him and said, "Let him sleep here, and go directly to work as a service tomorrow morning." Naturally, everyone was fine, so they stopped caring about that guy. Chen Si asked Tiezhu to send them back and took Xu Wei's official uniform.
The summer night after the rain is particularly charming. Under the night sky illuminated by the stars, the heat is cleaned and the air becomes extremely refreshing. The ears are symphony played by frogs and various night insects, which makes people feel extremely relaxed.
Lying silently on the bamboo chair, looking at the dazzling Milky Way steadily, I didn't move for a long time, obviously having a serious worry...
He is still making a decision. Although people have been doing multiple-choice questions throughout their lives, this time it is really difficult. If they really want to do it, they will attack the two giants at the same time. Not to mention whether they can do it, this idea alone makes people feel extremely crazy.
You must never touch Li Mo, as it will completely discourage those who oppose Yan Song, and even turn to rely on him. It is good to end the internal strife, but you must not use this method, because Yan Song’s biggest guilt is not corruption and bribery, formation of gangs, or giving birth to a top bastard son, but inaction!
As the chief assistant, he has no responsibility. He can push him whenever he can, and hide when he can. He only considers his own veil, and for his own benefit, he is free to eat, regardless of the lives of the common people. If the whole country is stable and nothing matters, it doesn't matter. Let him make a few more years and be eliminated by the laws of nature. But now the Ming Dynasty is in a troublesome situation, and "inaction" is the biggest crime!
Such a prime minister and such a strict party will last for one day, which will harm the Ming Dynasty, and its harm is far more than that of Li Mo now!
‘You must never help the evil!’ Chen Mo clenched his fists and said, ‘Even if you stay Li Mo, you will be willing to do anything!’
‘But what should I do?’ He closed his eyes silently and meditated. He wanted to eliminate all the disconfidence and overconfidence in his heart, and try to think about his situation objectively.
Although he was the first person in the Ming Dynasty to win six yuan in a row and was regarded as auspicious by the emperor, it is still a question of how long this halo can exist. If Li Mo and his fellow disciples say bad things about him day after day, it is hard to guarantee that Jiajing will change his mind about him, and then he will become meat on the chopping board!
When I think of the miserable fate in the future, I couldn't help but shiver and said to myself: "This is an era where "one word brings prosperity to the country, one word suffers sin". Any kindness and ruthlessness are not allowed...' You are soft-hearted to others, others will not be soft-hearted to you. Anyone who has fantasies about the enemy will almost be destined to the end!
Suddenly, his body warmed up, and he looked down at him. Ruohan covered himself with a thin blanket. He smiled at her, took her hand, and let her sit beside him. The two of them looked at each other warmly. After a long time, the silent one said softly: "If... I mean, if I became a selfish bad guy, would you hate me?"
Ruohan shook his head gently and said, "You are not a bad person, you have never been." He said, "Otherwise, I would not have been alone at the beginning and saved me from so many Japanese pirates."
"Haha..." Chen Si chuckled, and shook his head and said, "People can change..."
Ruohan stretched out his cold fingers, gently rubbed his frown brows, and said warmly: "I came out to support the family business since I was a child. My father passed me a sentence: "The shopping mall is like a battlefield." The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and the response must also change, but people's mood must remain calm, so that they will not be disturbed by behavior."
"Is it true to cultivate my mind?" Chen Si said softly: "It seems that my state is not as good as you."
"How is that possible?" Ruohan said seriously: "My husband is a strong and strong husband. I really admire him. For example, in Hu Zongxian's case, you have an unparalleled calm in the court confronting Li Mo."
"That's the past..." Chen Si took a deep breath of the clear evening breeze and said, "At those times, I firmly believed that I was right, and my heart would not be confused." He leaned his head on the back of the chair and said lightly: "But this time... I and those guys who compete for power and profit are all the same, so my heart is in chaos." As he said that, he couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay to deceive yourself."
Ruohan heard this and said tightly: "Is there any danger?"
"That won't be," Chen Si shook his head and said, "I knew in my previous life that protecting myself in the officialdom was more important than attacking the enemy. Killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred themselves is a rule on the battlefield and does not apply here."
"Just be able to ensure your safety." Ruohan said softly: "My husband has actually made a choice, right?"
"Haha," Chen Si chuckled a little, and stood up with his handrail, "It's late at night, go back to sleep." It seemed to be accustomed to Ruohan's question.
"Where are you going?" Ruohan asked.
"I'll go find Xu Wei." Silently whispered: "He is still waiting for me." How can these words be ambiguous?
When he stepped over the hanging flower gate, Chen Mo suddenly realized that he had finally lost his fate with a good person and was no different from Yan Song and Li Mo.
Once you enter the mud, no one is clean...
No one knows what they talked about that night.
The next morning, the two of them rode together in the same carriage and returned to Xiyuan to continue on duty. The errands that should be run, the three/she should be accompanied, as if nothing had happened.
But he kept thinking about how to put Zhao Wenhua to death... A small official from the sixth rank who wanted to kill a first rank official would seem like a delusion. However, after coming to the capital for so long, through observations of the court and Emperor Jiajing, silence could draw a conclusion that it might not work under other emperors of the Ming Dynasty, but under the rule of His Majesty Jiajing, this matter is completely manipulative!
Because this emperor has changed the political pattern of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty competing with the emperor through more than ten years of hard struggle, through repeated court poaches and exiles, and turned the Ming Dynasty into his one-man show. One word can determine the life and death of anyone, and one word can change the fate of anyone. Even the great and deep roots of Ge Lao Yan is not a problem!
The key is whether Jiajing wants to do so. As long as he can inspire Emperor Daojun’s mind, even a small person like him can overturn the big man with a jade belt and achieve an asymmetric victory!
Of course, few people in this world can understand the thoughts of Emperor Jiajing because he is a talented master of decision-making and power struggle. Even in the past twenty years, all ministers have been played with by him. No one is his opponent, and no one can guess his thoughts.
But just like the electronic game that I played in my previous life, no matter how difficult the level was, there will always be experts who would penetrate it, but it would take a little longer. Now, the difficulty BT game of Emperor Jiajing has been on the market for more than 30 years. With many masters going on one after another and over time, there are finally several top ashes players who have successfully made a big fuss! They can clearly understand the temper and personality of Emperor Jiajing and various power tricks, and from then on, there will be no negotiations to play him!
Although the time of contact with the emperor was short, with the lessons of the Yan family's father and son, it was like playing games with a hand-held strategy. As long as you follow the map, you can get twice the result with half the effort and you can pass the level! This is the source of confidence that he dared to attack Zhao Wenhua.
Speaking of which, Lord Zhao was really depressed. No matter who he wanted to challenge Mr. Yan, the first person would always think of taking action against him. Of course, this was not a coincidence, but because Mr. Zhao was a fool who was arrogant, did not know how to restrain himself, and his brain was often short-circuited. Of course, he also had the advantage of being "loyal and obedient, working hard", but the target of loyalty was Yan Song, so in the opinion of Mr. Yan, he was a good son whose advantages outweigh his shortcomings.
But in the eyes of others, Lord Zhao is a useless bastard, and there are many places to attack, so the unlucky Lord Zhao always becomes a battlefield for fighting between the two sides, and no matter whether they win or lose, they will be punished to death.
Now that Shen Mo wants to weaken Yan Song, he naturally cannot avoid being targeted by Zhao Wenhua. Of course, Zhao Wenhua will not be easily defeated, because Master Yan has become accustomed to supporting him. Although in Shen Mo's opinion, supporting a troublemaker is tantamount to seeking a short-sighted view, for many years, Master Yan has always protected him, which made Chen Mo very puzzled. What is the old man's idea?
In fact, what Chen Si didn't know was that the reason why Zhao Wenhua was supported by Ge Lao Yan was not only obedient and hardworking to give money, but also had a killer move, which was to blow the wind beside his pillow... Of course, it was not to blow it himself, but to let his godmother blow it.
His godmother is his godfather's wife, his godmother is Yan Song, and his godmother is naturally Mrs. Yan. Ge Lao Yan has been cruel and ruthless in his life, and is known as a "multiple trap" in the world, but people are multifaceted and complex, and they are truly complete and completely. Every side is a villain, and it does not exist.
Even Yan Song has a wholehearted and dedicated person who knows each other and stays with each other. This person is Mrs. Yan Ouyang. You should know that Yan Song was only in his sixties. He had a very bumpy life in the past few decades. However, Mrs. Ouyang, who was born in a big family, never spoke coldly, but instead supported him to overcome difficulties until Yan Song became prosperous in his old age. Therefore, Yan Song had only her and never took a concubine in his life... Of course, it may also be because of the old man's age.
But no matter what, Mrs. Ouyang had a great influence on Yan Song. Zhao Wenhua took this point and tried his best to curry favor with the old lady, coaxing him around, holding him closer than his own son, so he naturally protected him sincerely.
Yan Song also couldn't live without this loyal watchdog, so he kept protecting him, that's all.
Unable to figure out the truth, Chen Si temporarily suppressed it and turned to find the most suitable attack point... This Lord Zhao has a lot of bad deeds, from embezzlement and bribery, eating and taking credit, using power for personal gain, blinding the holy hearing, from lying about military information, falsely reporting the results of war to fighting for power and profit, and framed colleagues. The bad things he has done are so numerous, but Chen Si knows that these are not enough to kill Zhao's life!
Because of corruption and bribery, it is never a crime in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing; blinding the holy hearing will definitely implicate Yan Song; as for the crimes of lying about military information and framed colleagues, the impeacher can only die without a burial place without hurting Zhao Wenhua!
Because he had already understood the character of Emperor Jiajing - this gentleman was too conceited and believed that he was the best in the world. No one could deceive him and never admit his mistakes. Now you have to tell him that you have been deceived by others. You are an idiot sucker. He will naturally get angry and will naturally refuse to admit his conscience. Not only will he not take Zhao Wenhua down, but he will also let him live well to show his correctness.
Therefore, the outcome of the secret battle is all about speculations about the emperor. If you ignore the idea of ​​Emperor Jiajing and have to be self-righteous, you will definitely die without a place to bury. This is the iron rule of the struggle during the Jiajing period!
The Yan family father and son understood it, so they stood firm; Xu Jie also understood it, so he was able to get rid of danger; silent now also understood it, so he dared to make any idea, and Comrade Li Mo obviously did not understand it, or was disdainful to understand it, so he was doomed to fail...
