Chapter 799 Everyone is in danger (Part 2)
1@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
How is silence done? It starts with getting drunk at the Duke of Dingguo's mansion that day.
On the second day, Ding Guo Duke Xu Yande invited the other two Dukes to pass the mansion on the grounds that his grandson was a hundred years old, and said that they knew about the content of their conversation with Shen Mo. The three of them had a secret discussion and believed that the conditions proposed by Chen Mo were basically acceptable, but it was absolutely impossible to let the nobles hand over the occupied military farms; and at least half of the officers were left when choosing a front-line. As for the cake in Nanyang, the old guy meant that he would ask for money in the past few years, after all, real money could not deceive people; of course, it was also necessary to send his confidants to see if there was any legendary fertile land there.
After learning about their request, Chen Ji quickly gave an answer, saying that the matter of farming could not be investigated, and the matter of Nanyang could also be handled according to their requirements. However, the officers retained by the Selection Camp depend on their respective performances. The decision of the Prime Minister for Training will not interfere, and no one is allowed to interfere.
The nobles knew very well that if they really decided to stay and stay according to their performance, how many of their officers could be left behind? But they found out that it was said that Qi Jiguang was not that difficult to speak, and seemed to be able to go through the way. Obviously, it was much easier to discuss with a military officer than to plead with a Grand Secretary.
So the two sides reached an agreement, and Jiao Ying, the Hou of Dongning, was appointed as the admiral of the Beijing camp. Silence finally let go of his hands and feet. First, he executed the twelve people who took the lead in attacking the Minister of War, and the remaining 70 people were slapped 80, and sent to the Yunnan and Guizhou border guards. Then, he used this to deter the Beijing camp to carry out a comprehensive rectification of the Beijing camp for two months. After the military discipline was intact, he vigorously implemented the strategy of "segment of fronts and training of troops in different camps", and appointed Qi Jiguang as the Prime Minister of the Beijing camp, and was fully responsible for the selection of fronts, division of camps, training of troops and other matters.
After controlling the Beijing camp, the silent rectification of the Ministry of War finally began. As soon as he came up, he took down the arsenal and the second department of the car, and punished the corrupt officials... If the two doctors had not died in an unknown way, they would have no idea how many people they would have to be implicated and which level they were involved. But just when everyone thought that he would go to a complete war with the Shanxi Gang, the two sides made a magical peace.
The turning point came from a conversation. The parties involved were Chen Si and Wang Chonggu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War... just in line with Chen Si's words: 'You will definitely come back to find me...' This feeling of being controlled by others is really unhappy, but Wang Chonggu also knew that the situation was stronger than others. Chen Si's strength was very strong, and now he was holding Xu Jie's tiger skin as a banner. There were some problems within the Jin Party. Old Yang Bo was staying behind closed doors at home, Wang Guoguang was cultivating at home, and even Ge Shouli joined in the fun, and he insisted on resigning and taking care of his mother... You said someone else found a reason to chase Guo Pu down, why did you make a fool of yourself?
With the enemy in front of him, the big guys were lying down and pretending to be dead. There was no leader within the Jin Party, and even no one took the lead in counterattacking... Although Wang Chonggu was disliked by the silence, he was not arrogant enough to think that his little minister could fight him.
What's more serious is that he could not find the whereabouts of the two arrested doctors, and he could not even silence him. You must know that what the two knew was enough to send him, Huo Ji... and even Yang Bo to prison. Even so, Yang Bo was still indifferent and looked like he was slaughtering.
‘I really don’t know what the old men are thinking?’ For more than 20 years in office, Wang Chonggu felt deeply that ‘people are the slaughter and I am the fish’. He had to go to Chen Si to apologize in person, hoping to avoid the worst result through some deeds.
The silence happened to be in the yamen this day. When someone stared at the opportunity without anyone, Wang Chonggu passed. He thought he would be in a storm, but he thought that silence would be in a state of great joy to recall the past when he fought side by side in the southeast.
"Thanks to you, brother, for helping me." When recalling the past, Chen Si still looked grateful: "Or otherwise I would never have been able to get so much food."
Recalling the vigorous spirit of the past, Wang Chonggu sighed infinitely: "Yes, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Thinking of the original passionate and heroic spirit, it is like yesterday."
"I wonder how much passion did Brother Jianchuan still have now?" Chen Jing smiled and poured tea ceremony for him.
"Hehe..." Wang Chonggu touched his forehead and saw a piece of characters hanging on the wall, which was Li Taibai's "Difficult to Walk", and said in a complicated expression: "... I can't eat when I stop the cup and throw my chopsticks, and I can't eat when I draw my sword and look around. I want to cross the Yellow River and block the river, and I will climb the Taihang Mountains with snow. It's difficult to walk, and there are many roads. Now I'm here..."
Seeing that he stopped reciting, he smiled silently and said, "There are two more words."
"There will be a time when the wind and waves are long, and the clouds sails are flying across the sea." Wang Chonggu shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's not easy to talk about, it's not easy." He said, clasping his fists toward the silent and said, "Jiangnan, I'm here to find you today, I'm going to confess to you." He couldn't help but slamming his heart and said, "I'm still in place, right?"
He nodded seriously and listened to his confession: "Now you have taken out the bitter guts of the Ministry of War. I want to tell you again that you have a clear conscience. That's really a lie with your eyes open." After a pause, his eyes turned red and said: "Along the way, I have formed cliques, I have ruled out dissidents, I have bribed bribes, and I have also cheated... This head is cut three times, which is enough."
He kept silent and did not show any sense of moral superiority, because he had basically done these things, so why should he blame others?
Then Wang Chonggu continued, "I always comfort myself. This is a forced one. If I don't do this, I will be regarded as an alien and be excluded. I can't do a clean official like Hai Rui, and I don't want to do it. I need power to realize my...my long-cherished wish." Speaking of this, he smiled and said with a smirk: "But suddenly turned around, those self-deprecating voids were forced to do it. In fact, every time I wanted a drop of ink to drop in my heart, time and time, drop, I had long put my conscience, ambition, right and wrong... into the turbidity of his conscience, ambition, right and wrong... into what he hated back then." It seemed that the recent major rectification of the Ministry of War had really touched him, and these words were somewhat heartfelt.
But in fact, his family knows his family affairs, and he memorizes them several times before he can speak in such a rich and emotional way.
"It is really difficult to keep my heart." Chen Si said softly: "I am not the same..." as if he believed his words.
"Jiangnan, I'm responsible for your own fault if you want to do it today." This is a line designed by Wang Chonggu, but he really felt that he deserved to die as he acted.
"If I want to deal with you, I won't talk so much nonsense to you." Silently cheered up, looked at Wang Chonggu with bright eyes and said, "I'll ask you, what is your long-cherished wish just now."
"What's your wish..." Wang Chonggu's eyes were a little lost, and he murmured for a moment: "I'm almost forgotten."
Chen Si knew that he was telling the truth because he had the same problem.
After a while, Wang Chonggu sighed quietly: "Hetao..." This is not a design.
If he was a nerd who turned a blind eye to the outside world, he would probably think he was talking about 'walnuts', but he was silent but narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Reconcise?"
"No," Wang Chonggu nodded and said, "My brother, I was twenty years old. This is the common wish of our age." He said excitedly: "The fall of the nine borders is the first priority. Hetao has been a must-fight for the Central Plains dynasty since the Qin Dynasty. If Hetao is lost, the barbarians on the grassland can march straight into it. This is an iron-like lesson for two thousand years. At that time, the governor of the three sides, Zeng Dada, was determined to restore the trap and personally planned it. All scholars in the world are young and young. The scholars were eager to join the army and join the army and were a small soldier under the tent of the commander." As he said, he said nostalgic: "Later, I was fortunate to be the inspector of Shanxi, often went to the commander's office and counseled military aircraft, which was highly valued by the commander... Speaking of which, there are still opinions in the "Memorial for Reply to Hetao". "When he said this, his face was radiant and full of pride.
Then his tone went down and sighed, "But later...ah... my Ming Dynasty injustice was first killed, and then my Grandmaster and Xia Ge Lao suffered." Although many years have passed, he still said with a heart of a knife: "'Duke Yuan was originally a hundred years plan, and Chao Cuo was in danger of the Seven Kingdoms." He was actually injured by a traitor, affecting his wife, and his bones could not return home... At that time, the Jinyiwei confiscated the house and only collected less than fifty taels of silver from his house. Even a demon like Lu Bing shed tears." As he said, he raised his eyebrows and said, "We will not forget the strange injustice of the Grandmaster back then; we will not forget the reconciliation he had been thinking about before he left. Since then, restoring Hetao and clearing the grievances for the Grandmaster has been my lifelong wish, and I will never forget it." The last few words were particularly firm.
Silent smiled faintly and pushed a memorial to him on the big case.
Wang Chonggu looked down and saw a line of words written neatly on the cover: 'Please rehabilitate Zeng Xianxia Yan again." It was his handwriting. This was a memorial he wrote in April. As the name suggests, he even wrote a copy half a year ago.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If it weren't for these two memorials, Chen Mo wouldn't have learned about Wang Chonggu's heart song, nor would have been so polite to him... If it weren't for this person's hypocritical disobedience and secretly sabotaging the situation, he wouldn't have made such a big move and exposed a considerable part of his strength.
Of course... I won't really do anything about him. What Wang Chonggu didn't know was that Xu Jie had reached a tacit understanding with Yang Bo in private. In order to show his obedience to Xu Ge Lao, the Shanxi Gang could give up the dominance of the Ministry of War, but his interests on the Nine Territory will not be violated... That is, Ji Liao, Xuanda, Sanbian, and the three governors, and the cabinet will no longer be taken away. This is Yang Bo's bottom line. If he gets more aggressive, he will be unable to bear it and no longer need to bear it.
But Xu Jie could tell Chen Mo about this agreement, but Yang Bo could not tell Wang Chonggu, because he could not let the other party understand. The concession at this time was to make great strides in the future, so he simply closed the door and let Shen Mo toss... Although he did not believe every word that Chen Mo said, he still had no doubt about his sense of doing things.
And if it can make Silence redeem the evil person, why don’t Yang Bo do it?
Although Chen Shu has been decisive and has been very proud of his recent decisive decisions, but officials know that the more he is, the more annoying he is; the more he is, the more he is, the more he makes a fortune. If he has to do such offends, he is also very painful, and he is not willing to do it. He has to do it without his will.
So as long as it is possible, for the long-term consideration, he also needs to repair his relationship with Wang Chonggu. Fortunately, he had an impression of his two memorials. After checking the archives, he found out that Wang Chonggu was once Zeng Xian's subordinate, so the opening scene...
Wang Chonggu's hands trembled slightly, and opened the last page of the memorial. He saw a line of handwriting written in cinnabar appear in front of him, "I am good at speaking, and the Ministry of Rites quickly proposed to issue a regulation newspaper." There was also the emperor's seal next to him.
"So..." Wang Chonggu's tears were uncontrollably spinning in his eye sockets. This time there was no acting element. He said in a trembling voice: "Has the Grand Marshal finally been rehabilitated?"
"Yes." said calmly. In fact, his mood was as excited as Wang Chonggu. But he had already practiced to the point of calmness and said lightly: "What does this mean? You should know more than me?"
"Yes." Wang Chonggu nodded deeply and said, "This means that the court finally admitted that they were right... it was right." As he said, he choked up and couldn't speak.
After silently waiting for him to calm down, he slowly said, "How much does this mean? Since Zeng Shuai died, no one in the court and the country dared to discuss reconnaissance, so now he thinks it is inevitable and it is not appropriate to return..."
"Absurd..." Wang Chonggu spat and quickly apologized: "Sir, forgive me, but I am not offending."
Chen Si waved his hand and signaled him to continue. Wang Chonggu said, "Master Zeng's words are still suitable for now. China does not worry about no soldiers, but does not worry about no soldiers. The cost of re-settlement is only one year of Xuanda. The reason why the enemy invaded Wuji is because he saw that there was no one in the Central Plains." After saying that, he saw Chen Si looking at him with a smile. Wang Chonggu blushed and lowered his head and said, "I forgot..."
"You didn't forget," waved your hand and took back your voice in silence and said, "But you are still in the position you can do." He sighed and said, "I don't know how difficult it is to not do it. Every step is difficult and everything is comprehensive. If there is one place you can't take care of, someone will pull you back. Those who have great abilities will still seek to take advantage of you."
Wang Chonggu was originally complaining about the silent training camp, but now he has become a word of understanding and said: "You are doing the right thing, but you must persist." Otherwise, you will be slapping yourself in the mouth.
"Brother Jianchuan." said silently and seriously: "I have an errand to ask you to do."
"The emperor is here." Wang Chonggu sat upright and said, "Please give me the order."
"I have thought about the position of Mr. Zeng back and forth, you are the only one who is suitable." After a long time of deception, Chen Si finally revealed his trump card.
Of course, this half of the day was not in vain. If he made this request as soon as he came up, Wang Chonggu would have many reasons to shirk it. After all, at this critical moment, he always had the intention of being expelled from the capital.
But silence first lays the groundwork, especially at this time when Zeng Xian was rehabilitated, it was very different - in the eyes of the government, this is a signal that the government wants to change its border defense strategy. This is to let him become the three-sided governor, which will become an important task.
‘Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food’ This is a saying that Xu Jie often likes to say, and now Shen Mo has tasted three of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sure enough, after his face changed for a moment, Wang Chonggu agreed, but he still asked with concern: "What should I do about the Ministry of War?"
Silence and kindly confessed to Wang Chonggu that he had no idea of ​​breaking with them at all. But now, some things must be done and some vested interests must be broken. Without the determination to scrape the bone to cure the poison, the military of the Ming Dynasty would be completely hopeless... If these words had been said to Wang Chonggu, he would not have listened to them, but now he felt that it made sense.
"The investigation will not be infinite." Silently said: "And most of the Dukes of the Ministry of War are well aware of military affairs and will be of great use in the future."
Wang Chonggu finally felt relieved and asked Chen Si a few more questions about reconciliation. Chen Si even slapped his chest, but in fact he was smiling bitterly... Xu Jie, who could make up for it again, was conservative, and Zeng Xian was able to rehabilitate so quickly, not because of national policies and border defenses, but because of Xia Yan's glory.
Xia Guixi is the master of Xu Huating, it is that simple. Of course, Chen Si would not tell Wang Chongguming, and Xu Jie could not explain it to the people of the world, so he could only let them guess it casually.
Wang Chonggu came out of the Grand Secretary's room happily, which made the guards in the door stunned. He thought to himself that this person was still dead when he entered, so why is he so stupid now?
After being happy until he returned to his signing room, Wang Chonggu came back to his senses and patted his head and said, "The bitter meat plan was useless, and he was defeated by other people's melee plan." He was originally designed and tied up one by one, but he was confused and was led by the nose, sold and helped him count the money.
However... the result seemed to be acceptable, and Wang Chonggu would not have any trouble. In dealing with Huo Ji, Chen Si was also taking medicine according to the prescription, and also sent the better-speaking Right Minister to Xuanda to be the governor.
But this kind of warmth only exists between the top leaders, and the people below must become scapegoats. Just the day after Shen Mo convinced all the two ministers, he handed the criminals over to the Ministry of Justice from the Jinyiwei. As a result, a few days later, one committed suicide for fear of crime and the other died in prison, shocking the government and the public for a while.
So no one was embarrassed to pursue those poor orphans and widows. The family of the criminals who were supposed to send the Jiaofangsi was deported to their hometowns and surveillance, which was a little worth of sacrifice.
