After silently entering the Ministry of War, he announced that he would talk to officials above the doctor respectively, which was also the only intention to stabilize people's hearts and eliminate rumors.
He first summoned the two ministers to convey the spirit of the cabinet's meeting to them. He also warned the two that the cabinet did not believe that the attack on the Minister of War was not just an accident; on the contrary, the cabinet believed that it reflected that there were serious problems in the entire Ming Dynasty military system.
"The dignified Minister of Rong Zheng has no authority to protect himself from infringement. I don't know what you two think." There was no smile on his silent face, and his serious expression was completely different from usual.
Wang Chonggu and Huo Ji were speechless. Some things can only be understood but not expressed in words, and they can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Okay, it's Bugu's question that was too empty." Chen Si smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I'll ask for more specific things... Why do you think Wangbutang suffered from this bad luck?"
"The master of the Ministry is eager to achieve some results, and some policies implemented are inevitably tempted, which aroused the dissatisfaction of some soldiers." The two of them could no longer shirk their responsibilities. Wang Chonggu said: "He doesn't understand the rude and irritable temper of the warriors, and he always faces them in a tit-for-tat way, which leads to their beastly nature, which leads to this great disaster."
"Why did you annoy the warriors?" Chen Shu asked.
"After all, it was the master of the Ministry who encountered many people's jobs." Huo Ji replied: "Although the situation in the Beijing camp is better than that of the Daduowei Institute, there are also a group of elderly, weak, sick and disabled people who make a living. The branch training promoted by the master of the Ministry will undoubtedly break the jobs of these people. How can they not hate them?"
"Okay, even if these people hate him to the core," Chen Si asked coldly: "Then why were the other officers and soldiers in the camp not rescued?"
"They may be due to their friendship, and they are all soldiers, and most of them are related to their kinship," Huo Ji said: "Maybe they don't want to be sad about their relationship."
"I'm afraid of hurting my feelings..." Silent nodded, narrowing my eyes slightly and said, "But I'm not afraid of losing the Minister of Rong Zheng, everyone will be dealt with by the police? It seems that our Beijing soldiers are really righteous."
"This..." Wang Chonggu and Huo Ji were speechless again.
"Or, they are fearless, and it will be useless to know that they will hit them." The silent eyes shot straight into the two of them like swords. The powerful aura actually made the two ministers who commanded thousands of troops and couldn't breathe: "What do you want to hide, or do you just collude with them?"
"I don't dare..." The two of them felt sweaty on their foreheads and struggled.
"Do you dare not say it or do it?" Chen Shu asked.
"I dare not do it nor say it." Huo Ji begged helplessly: "Don't ask questions in the sun. There are some things we really can't say, and it's useless to say it. It's even a problem for everyone."
Relying on his relationship with Shen Mo, Wang Chonggu whispered: "Jiangnan, stop asking, I'm about to force my brother to death..."
"You two seem to be misunderstood." Chen Si smiled when he heard this, leaned forward, pouring tea for the two of them: "I think it's the cabinet that has made a big deal."
"I dare not..." Although I said this, the two of them agreed with each other.
"That's great," said silently, "I'm not here to show off my might. On the contrary, I'm here to save you."
"Save us?" Wang Chonggu and Huo Ji looked at each other, and the latter laughed even more: "This is because of long hands and short sleeves, so it can't be pulled at all, right?"
After staring at the two of them silently for a while, Zhan Yan finally smiled and said, "It seems that I misunderstood you two."
"Haha..." The two of them smiled a little reluctantly and said, "It is also the responsibility of the Shen Xiang."
"Well," nodded silently and said, "Bugu is under a lot of pressure, and he is a little nervous." Then he brought tea to the guest and said, "I won't waste your time."
"Where are there." The two of them were as if they were amnesty. Although the conversation did not touch anything substantial, the silent oppressive momentum and seemingly unaware of the secrets of heaven made them panic and unwilling to stay in front of him for a moment. So they stood up and said, "We will leave."
He nodded silently, without any intention of getting up and sending him off.
Wang Chonggu was halfway through, and felt as if he was feeling embarrassed when he went out in shame, so he turned around and said, "I originally wanted to invite Jiangnan to dinner, but these few days are really inappropriate. Let's get together again when this matter is over."
"It won't take long," said Silently, "Brother Jianchuan will come to find me."
"Of course." Wang Chonggu responded casually, but after he went out, he felt silence seemed a little awkward, but he was not so sure. He had to shake his head and smile bitterly: "When people are under the eaves, they can only lower their heads...'
The Ministry of War has a total of four Qing Lishu, namely the Wuxuan Department, the Jufang Department, the Chejia Department, and the Arsenal Department; there are seven doctors, two of the first three departments, and one of the Arsenal Department. These seven people are in charge of the four functional institutions of the headquarters and maintain the normal operation of the headquarters. In the following time, Chen Si held a confidential meeting with the doctors of the Ministry of War, and they were both tireless one-on-one. It seemed that he was more concerned about these people than the two ministers.
"In fact, the so-called imperial guards in the Beijing camp have been a corrupt system for a long time. From the lower level to the upper level, they are exploitation layers." During the conversation, a doctor said in a shocking way: "The 100,000 officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp, except for the Shenji camp, have a discount of 2 million taels of silver for each year. Such a huge piece of fat meat, deduct military pay, falsely report the empty amount, resell military supplies... and more than a dozen methods, can be used to collect more than one million taels of white money. Anyone who handles can naturally eat fat. Who cares about the soldiers' hunger and cold relationship, and who cares about the army has no combat power."
Chen Si did not sit behind the big case, but sat with the doctor on a row of rosewood chairs. While pouring tea for him, he heard him say angrily: "But the big heads do not have the officers. They have to pay the exploitation to those noble families."
"The noble family..." Chen Jing said these words gently.
"Yes, although the nobles and generals of this dynasty were swept away since the Tumu Fort. Now their descendants can no longer draw their bows and can't get horses, but all the officers of the Beijing camp have always followed their horses." The tone of the doctor and Shen Mo's speech was more familiar than the two ministers, and said: "The officers paid tribute to noble families and supported their status, while noble families provided protection for the officers and helped them promote their promotion... But those princes and marquis could not interfere in the government affairs, so they could only take a curve to save the country."
"Brief." Silent poured tea for him and said lightly.
"Yes, the filial piety they received had already bribed the Ministry of War, and even the Kedao was fed by them... I heard that sometimes the Grand Secretary also accepted bribes." The man was outspoken and had reached the point of being unscrupulous.
"Not everyone loves money." Silence whispered.
"That's right, most ministers of the ministry are relatively clear, and the Shanxi people have the most lacking money, and there is no bribery. Those dukes and marquises have been praying to the ministers and ministers, getting married and trying their best to build relationships. They even surrendered the nobles and called brothers and brothers with the doctors of the key departments such as Wuxuan, Arsenal, and Carriage. After so many years of operation, the nobles and the Ministry of War have been in a mess and can't be pulled out." The doctor revealed the answer and said, "So Wang Xuefu and Huo Yaofeng can't answer you. How do you answer? Pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and you have to wrap yourself in."
After saying so long, the doctor felt his throat dry, so he picked up the teacup and sucked it gently.
Chen Si tilted his head and looked at him with a relaxed smile on his face, "You have been here for seven years, right?"
"Seven years and seven months." The man nodded and recalled the past, "After the breakup, I was here. I first served as the head of Fangsi, and then went to Xuanda for three years to serve as the senator. It has been more than three years since I came back to Wuxuansi." As he said, he looked at it and said silently, "Speaking of it, I am behind us."
"Do you know what it means to be a latecomer?" Sitting up straight with a silent smile, "I'll ask you to surpass them once this time."
"Why, I said so much, are you sure?" He obviously knew what Chen Si wanted to do, because his name was Wu Dui and Wu Junze, a classmate and fellow villager of the same year, and one of the founders of Qionglin Society. He was forty years old this year, which was the best time in a man's life. The tempering of border life and the training of the Ministry of War have made him lose his youthful recklessness who used to guide the country and inspire words. Instead, he showed a mature demeanor as steady as a mountain and as firm as a knife. However, the heart that longed to make achievements did not change at all, but became stronger as time went by.
"Who can be fully confident?" Chen Si shook his head and said, "It's just that this opportunity is rare. Just take action when it's time."
"Where will the next gust of wind blow?" Wu Dui was in his ministry, without being silenced in the cabinet.
"For the next period of time," he naturally did not need to hide his silence: "The Shanxi Gang's life will be very sad. I am about to take this opportunity to take control of the Ministry of War."
"It's not easy to interfere," Wu Dui frowned and said, "The officials and Zuo Er are both from Shanxi. The doctors and officers of the Wuxuansi, the Arsenals and the Chejia Department are mostly theirs."
"At least I have you." Silent smiled and said, "You are also a dignified Wuxuansi."
"Old Xier is xenophobic. How much power can I have?" Wu Dui smiled bitterly: "Although he is one of the doctors in the Wuxuansi, the ranks, selection, promotion, and rewards of military officers are all under the jurisdiction of another Shanxi person. I am only responsible for examining the dangers in various places, building camps and floods separately, and the military officers of the chieftain inheritance and gifts. There is almost no power, and it is purely a miscellaneous work."
"You care so much, just the same grade." Chen Si said without considering it: "You should have some connections in the ministry for so many years, right?"
"The relationship is good," Wu Dui thought about it, "In fact, there is a disadvantage for Shanxi people to join forces. They control all the better positions. Naturally, the rest of the ministry has a lot of opinions. Although because the officials in the front and rear were all their people, everyone could only complain privately, but the resentment was actually quite good."
"Just say, if the Ministry of War changes the world." Speaking of the main business, Silence returned to his usual expression and said, "How many people can you guarantee that you will do it with you."
"One doctor, three lieutenant, five lieutenants..." Wu Dui calculated and said a little discouraged after all the calculations: "Oh, what's the use of this? As long as Yang Bo is still there, no one dares to go against him."
"Yang Bo's life is not easy," Chen Si said lightly: "Gao Gong has left. Do you think those censors who are red-eyed can let him go, the initiator?"
"Will he leave?" Wu Dui said a little distrustfully: "He has a much deeper foundation than Gao Ge Lao, and has a good popularity. He is also in the tide of the Pavilion. He has protected Mr. Xu without grudges. This time he should be able to withstand it."
"Hahaha..." Sinistered and stood up and said, "Brother Junze, do you know that Master Xu deeply hated Yang Wei's appointment."
"Why do you hate him?" Wu Dui asked in surprise. He always thought that Xu Jie and the Jin Party were in-laws, and the two sides joined forces to deceive Gao Gong: "Is it because of the court recommendation last year that Yang Bo deceived Xu Ge Lao?"
"That's nothing." Silently whispered: "The two sides have a grudge, but this time the tide of the Pavilion. Yang Weiyue, who was the fuse, was definitely not as innocent as he looked."
"How to say it?"
"How could he, an old official who became a talented official, admired by Yan Shifan, have no Shanxi people in the Beijing Prefecture, and give him a handle without any loss?" Chen said lightly: "At first, Mr. Xu thought that he had made a fool of himself, he used the trick and burned the fire to Gao Gong. But as time went by, Mr. Xu realized that Gao Gong was so important in the emperor's heart, that he was so important that he wanted to save him at all costs. This was beyond Master Xu's expectations."
"If the judgment is accurate, Mr. Xu may not be determined to deal with Gao Gong. Maintaining the original state is actually more beneficial to him." Silence broke down for Wu Dui: "But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Since he has completely turned against Gao Gong, there is no possibility of reconciliation, Mr. Xu can only stay alive. As a result, Mr. Xu is powerful and even the Holy Will can only give up the disadvantage, and finally forced Gao Gong to step down. But he killed one thousand enemies and suffered 800 damage. In order to force Gao Gong to retreat, Xu Jie used all his skills, exposed all his minions, and even offended the emperor. His image in the court and the country would inevitably be greatly affected. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was covered in scars."
"You said that this fight was caused by Yang Bo on purpose?" Wu Dui said in disbelief.
"No one has any evidence, because Yang Bo did nothing, he just revealed a flaw." Chen Si said lightly: "But it is obvious that he may get the greatest benefit, and the price he paid was just being impeached by the censor a few times, and he had already found a scapegoat..." Yang Bo's explanation made it clear that Lu Guangzu investigated the first time according to the rules, and he only further examined the results, so he would not pay attention to the origins of the officials under investigation, let alone care about which officials had not been investigated.
Judging from experience, with Yang Bo's status and scapegoats, he should not be injured. So Xu Jie had reason to suspect that Yang Bo took the initiative to stretch his head and was hit by a knife, and staged a bitter plan, with the purpose of causing disputes among the cabinet... The two strong people will inevitably suffer losses, and the benefit will be a third party, that is, he, Yang Bo. To put it bluntly, it is best that Xu Jie and Gao Gong and their respective accomplices will all be covered and returned home. There is no need to worry about Yang Shao's premium, and the two powerful figures standing in front will be solved all at once.
No one can tell whether this is true or not, but Xu Jie has reason to doubt it, especially under the instigation of some people who are afraid of the world's chaos, he believed it even more... In this way, Yang Bo spoke for him without grudges. In Xu Jie's eyes, he turned around and curled up to him when he saw that Gao Gong was defeated, and he turned around to curry favor with him. He even felt that this man was both faced and hypocritical on the surface, but in fact he was full of thieves and prostitutes.
Revenge is inevitable. Although Xu Jie was unwilling to break up with Yang Bo, he must give him a lesson that he would never forget for life to punish him for making small moves... Obedient and listen to the voice, silence had already heard the meaning of this from his speech at the cabinet meeting, so he came to the Ministry of War with great fanfare. It was not for anything else, but for Xu Jie to see.
If the silence takes action, Xu Jie will definitely acquiesce. If the Ministry of War can be taken away from the Shanxi people, I believe that Mr. Xu will be even more happy.
"Even if you want to give Yang Bo some color," Wu Dui frowned and said, "But I think the intensity is limited, right? It would be better to have Mr. Xu be so unwise to launch two political struggles in a row."
"Haha..." Chen Si stood up, patted Wu Dui's shoulder, and said softly: "First, the censors were already red in their eyes, and Ge Lao Xu could not control them; second, although everyone in the world believed that all the censors now were surnamed Xu," he said with a smile: "But it is not the case. There are still a few who are taking advantage of the troubled waters."
"Isn't it better to say that you want to take advantage of the situation?" Wu Dui finally understood and smiled and said, "So you have made such an idea."
"There is no way, there is no way." Facing his brother, Silence was particularly relaxed, and he shook his head and smiled: "No one of us can afford to offend me. I can only borrow some east wind and make a fuss with me."
"Interesting," Wu Dui understood the silent plan and said, "It's interesting to take millet from the fire. I haven't seen you move in the past few years, and I thought you were rusted."
"Just wait for the opportunity." Chen Si sighed and said: "Brother, this is a complete plan. Once it starts, it will be tied up one by one. As long as it goes smoothly, I believe that it can fulfill everyone's border dreams and allow me to survive this period of shock..." As he said that, he held Wu Dui's hand tightly and said: "No one can afford to lose any mistakes."
