My country is dead again [Rebirth]

Chapter 34 Doubt In My Heart

Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo hadn't expressed his opinion for a while, Lin Fen was about to ask again, when the courtiers outside the hall reported, "Your Majesty, the governor brought Shen Ci into the palace together, saying that he has something important to talk to His Majesty face to face."

Apart from teaching riding and archery, Shen Ci had never taken the initiative to come to the palace to find him. Xie Ruzhuo felt strange and said, "Xuan."

Shen Ci and He Xiaoman entered the hall together, seeing Lin Fen by his side, his heart sank, and he pretended to salute as if nothing had happened.

"Companion, what happened?" Xie Ruzhuo asked, "Why did you suddenly bring Shen Ci into the palace at this time?"

He Xiaoman looked at Lin Fen silently, the latter looked away in displeasure, Xie Ruzhuo looked into his eyes, and said: "Lin Fen, you go down first, the plan mentioned in this memorial is complicated, I have to read it again."

"Yes, the servant will leave." After Xie Ruzhuo said this, Lin Fen couldn't stay any longer, so he bowed and retreated.

When the door of the palace was closed, Xie Ruzhuo's eyes dimmed, and he said, "General Shen, what's the matter?"

Shen Ci gestured to the memorial book spread out on the table with his eyes, and asked: "Your Majesty, this memorial book was submitted by Hua Yangjie, the head of the Ministry of War's Arsenal Department of Cleaning Officials?"

Xie Ruzhuo nodded: "Exactly."

Shen Ci asked again: "What is said in the memorial is how to negotiate with the four commanders and how to rebuild the three battalions? What's your majesty's opinion on this?"

Xie Ruzhuo was even more surprised, and said calmly: "What Hua Yangjia said is indeed a good strategy, and I also think it's wonderful..."

"Your Majesty can use this strategy, but Hua Yangjiao is not." Hearing what Xie Ruzhuo said, Shen Ci thought that maybe Xie Ruzhuo really didn't live a new life. He didn't know Hua Yangjiao's true face, so he couldn't care about etiquette immediately, so he called anxiously Cutting off Xie Ruzhuo's words, "I went to the Ministry of War with General Yue yesterday, and happened to see Deng Lv and Hua Yangjiao talking to each other in the military department. At that time, Hua Yangjiao was holding this memorandum. It’s a plan for this. Hua Yangjiao’s mind is not pure at this time, and it’s probably planned by the cabinet. Your Majesty needs to be on guard, and don’t reuse Hua Yangjia’s ingenious plan at will.”

Xie Ruzhuo frowned, looking at Shen Ci inquisitively.

It was extremely strange that Shen Ci suddenly entered the palace today, and he chose this time just because of this matter.

Shen Ci is not usually a person who pays attention to the power and wits in the court, and he is always slow to respond to such matters. Why does he feel that there is a ghost in this matter just because Hua Yangjiao and Sun Bingde's people have schemes? Still in such a hurry to enter the palace to meet him and ask him to beware of Hua Yangjiao?

Now how many civil servants in the court have no intersection with Sun Bingde?Seriously speaking, Du Ruo should be on guard. Why does Shen Ci only care about Hua Yangjiao?

He has memories from his previous life, and he knows that Hua Yangjiao is talented but has no virtue and cannot be reused, but Shen Ci has never dealt with this person, why would he think so?

"General Shen, you just ran into Hua Yangjiao at the Ministry of War and handed this memorial to Deng Lv. How can you tell that his mind is not pure, and the cabinet is setting me up again?" Xie Ruzhuo paid attention to Shen Ci's expression, "Before I But I didn't realize that General Shen still has a thorough understanding of this kind of conspiracy."

Shen Ci also knew that his explanation was a bit far-fetched, but he was already anxious. The more Xie Ruzhuo said this, the more anxious he became, and the more he felt that Xie Ruzhuo probably had no memory of his previous life. He took a deep breath to calm down a little, and said in a low voice : "Your Majesty, don't blame me. I'm just worried about Your Majesty, so I will pay more attention to these things, and I'm afraid that I will harm Your Majesty because I didn't say a few more words."

The sky was overcast today, the light in the hall was dim, Shen Ci's face melted into the shadows, but his eyes looked over with burning eyes, what Xie Ruzhuo could see was pure worry and no other emotions.

Shen Ci once again looked a bit lonely when he said something wrong, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help feeling soft, and thought to himself: Is it because he thinks too much?

"General Shen is so nervous about me, and he cares so much about this little thing, I am very happy." Xie Ruzhuo smiled contentedly on his lips, "I know, I won't reuse Hua Yangjiao casually, General Shen can rest assured."

Shen Ci heaved a sigh of relief, and felt that Xie Ruzhuo's words had completely changed his taste. He thought that he really jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away. Do not believe.

The matter has been settled, Shen Ci felt that if he stayed in the palace for a long time, he might lose his tongue and cause unnecessary trouble for Xie Ruzhuo, seeing that Xie Ruzhuo had nothing else to say, he left the palace.

As soon as Shen Ci left, Xie Ruzhuo glanced at him from the corner of his eye, He Xiaoman understood, nodded and said, "I will send someone to the Ministry of War to investigate."

Xie Ruzhuo seemed to be a little nervous, rubbing his fingertips against the silk cloth of the notebook back and forth, and stopped his fingers when the person He Xiaoman sent to investigate came back, and heard He Xiaoman say: "Your Majesty, it has been verified that Shen Ci was indeed with you yesterday. Yue Tingchuan went to the Ministry of War together to handle errands. The eyeliner in the Ministry of War said that Shen Ci came out of the house alone in the middle of the journey. At that time, Hua Yangjie and Deng Lv were talking about playing the book nearby. Shen Ci was not far away. People who practice martial arts have good ears. , I should have heard it."

"It's really like this..." Xie Ruzhuo still felt doubts in his heart, but he didn't know whether he should continue to think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more confused he asked He Xiaoman, "He asked you to bring me into the palace today?"

He Xiaoman couldn't figure out what Xie Ruzhuo was thinking, so he replied: "Yes, I see that his anxiety is not fake, and I think it's something serious."

Xie Ruzhuo nodded, paused, and said: "Continue to pass on my will. In the future, if Shen Ci wants to enter the palace, he doesn't have to go through those rules, just let him in."

He Xiaoman: "..."

At first he thought that Xie Ruzhuo felt that this matter was weird, and he was afraid that he would doubt Shen Ci, but the fact is——

He really thought too much.

According to Hua Yangji's memorial book, to solve the complex relationship with the four commanders, simply put it in eight words: break down one by one, and combine vertically and horizontally.

The Pei family was the strongest, so they put it aside first, and went to win over the Wu, Song, and Qi families one by one, and the court made appropriate concessions to lure them to form an alliance with the three families.The imperial court then built three major battalions in the capital, cultivating a rising force, advancing to counter the Pei family, and retreating to defend the capital.At this time, the Pei family has found themselves in a helpless situation, and it is very likely that they will show favor to the court. Whether the court wants to continue to use the Pei family or bring down the Pei family is not difficult.

In addition, Hua Yangjiao also agrees that the three battalions should not be caught up in the power struggle of the court. It is best to get rid of the old rule of being supervised by civil servants or eunuchs. Fang forces.

Xie Ruzhuo had to admit that Hua Yangjiao was a talent made in heaven, and most of them coincided with his own political views. No emperor would want to reuse such a capable minister, but he also learned one thing from Hua Yangjiao Well, it turns out that there is such a kind of person in the world, no matter how high his talent and learning are, his character is as despicable and gloomy.

"It's a pity." Xie Ruzhuo shook his head, put down the ink brush, and handed the playbook to He Xiaoman.

In the last election, Xie Ruzhuo skipped Hua Yangjiao for no reason. This time Hua Yangjiao proposed such a wonderful plan. Xie Ruzhuo obviously liked it very much, but he still failed to fulfill Hua Yangjiao's wish. Why? After all, Xiao Man couldn't hold back, and asked: "Your Majesty seems to have always been critical of Hua Yangjiao, like... I've been familiar with it before, why is this?"

Xie Ruzhuo took out the document about Hua Yangjiao's life that Jin Yiwei had sorted out from the booklet, and said, "Hua Yangjiao came from a bitter and cold background. Originally, he should have passed the 12-year examination in Xining, Du Ruo's last class. The scientific examination of that year There is a well-known fraud case. It is said that some candidates bribed the examiner to know the test questions in advance. Later, the evidence investigated by the Ministry of Criminal Justice was false and true. However, the examiners and candidates involved in the fraud case were still sentenced to severe punishments. The candidates who visited the examiner or had good friends with him were basically all dismissed. He was also included in the list of exclusions. He had to take the exam again. He was on the same list as Du Ruo, No. 13 in the second class. This time he was lucky. After a few years, he went to the military. He is a man with ups and downs in his life, which is quite interesting."*

What does good and bad luck have to do with this matter?

He Xiaoman still couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Could it be that Your Majesty thinks that Hua Yangjiao was implicated in the scientific examination fraud case and would hold grudges against the imperial court because of it? Or... think that people from such humble backgrounds tend to have careful thoughts, which is not good." control?"

There is no lack of poor students in the court, and Xie Ruzhuo's own background is not very beautiful, so he never thinks too much about it. As for the cheating case in the scientific examination, he didn't pay much attention to it in his previous life. Doing your best to advise the court, how can you see that you have a heart of hatred?

Xie Ruzhuo can only explain that Hua Yangjiao is an unknown lunatic, no one knows what he thinks, all love and hatred come out of nowhere, maybe it has been abnormal since he was a child.

"That's right." Xie Ruzhuo could only reply vaguely to He Xiaoman, "Let's keep this kind of person at a respectful distance."

He Xiaoman didn't ask any more questions, picked up the memorial and went back to the Supervisor of Rites.

When he came to the court the next day, Xie Ruzhuo gave Hua Yangjia enough face, praised his clever plan in front of all civil and military officials, rewarded him with rich gold and silver, and promoted him to an official position.

It's just that this official promotion is very surprising.

"Yuan Weng, why did Your Majesty transfer me to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Sun Bingde was also stunned after hearing the imperial decree. He went to the Ministry of War and went to the Ministry of War. The eunuch who passed the decree had just left, but Hua Yang was holding the imperial decree with obvious indignation.

The emperor issued an edict to promote Yang Jie to be the doctor of the Hengchuan Qingli Division of the Ministry of Punishment. He was indeed promoted from the sixth rank to the fifth rank, but compared with the Langzhong of the Qingli Division of the Ministry of War, it was a world of difference.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice seems to be in charge of the world's criminal prisons, which is very beautiful, but in fact, all their officials in the court know that this is a thankless place. It is the ruin of the future.The Twelve Officials Departments under the Ministry of Punishment correspond to the Twelve Officials’ Departments. Each Department is responsible for verifying the criminal cases reported locally. No more, Chizhou took back a few prefectures and counties, Hengchuan only had two counties on the south bank of the Qingmu River, and the mountains were high and the roads were far away, and the route was not stable, and the transportation of military newspapers to and from the army had to be careful, let alone those documents.

Therefore, although the Ministry of Punishment is one of the six departments, it is just a useless ostentation to Dayu today. Only half of the doctors and principals of the Twelve Qing Officials are left, and most of them are usually taken away by people from other yamen Helping is not a matter of duty.Staying in such a place, it is impossible to have a way out before Dayu returns to the country.But the Ministry of War is the most important place nowadays, it can be said to be very hot, and countless people want to get in.

Xie Ruzhuo's imperial decree is called promotion, but in fact it is almost a demotion. From a real job to a false job, who would dare to believe that this is a reward.

Sun Bingde asked Xie Ruzhuo the reason in the hall, Xie Ruzhuo said with a smile, next they will focus on Hengchuan, and this place will be the first to take back the chief envoy. The local backlog of documents.Although Hua Yangjiao understands military matters, Han Zhenneng is already in charge of the Ministry of War, and the Criminal Department will be the place that lacks the most people in the future. There are no people in charge, so it is actually for his own good to let Hua Yangjiao go to the Criminal Department. important task.

Not only could this reason not be refuted by words, but it also raised people up secretly. Sun Bingde tried a few more words. Xie Ruzhuo said everything without leaking. I can't get over it, the first time can be said to be a coincidence, but this time it is really clear that I don't want to use this person.

Looking at Hua Yangjiao, Sun Bingde couldn't help feeling regretful, sighed silently, and said, "Shangyuan, this is the end of the matter, you should be calm and don't be impatient, and go to the Ministry of Punishment to take up your post. The Ministry of Military Affairs is overcrowded. You have to be cautious, not to mention that Juezhi is not old enough to be an official. You will have to wait eight or ten years to take over the Ministry of War. But if you go to the Ministry of Punishment, you will be as wide as a fish, and no one can overtake you I will give you another push, and in a few years you will be able to be the master of the Ministry of Punishment, and it is no problem to join the cabinet. Isn't this also a way out?"

"Is it also a way out?" Hua Yangjiao twitched the corner of his mouth, didn't say any more, and said goodbye, "I understand now, thank you Yuan Weng."

Hua Yangjiao strode out of the military department with a sneer in his heart.

What Sun Bingde said earlier was high-sounding, but in fact he was just saying that he is already a useless chess game.

Sun Bingde had so many students, without Du Ruo, there could be other candidates, so how could he go to such lengths for someone who can't be called a student, and it's not worthwhile to make a big fuss with the emperor over this matter.

emperor……

That's right, where did he offend Xie Ruzhuo? He insisted on using this method to suppress him, a sixth-rank official who had been depressed for many years, had no foundational power, and at most had a nominal teacher-student relationship with the chief assistant.

Han Zhen, Sun Bingde, Du Ruo, these people are not unattainable mountains in his eyes, he even thinks that if he has their power or status, he can do better than them and be more dazzling than them .As for Pei Yuankai, Song Qingge, Wu Xianrong, and Qi Junmao, these names, which are frightening to others, are just chess pieces that he can manipulate on the chessboard. In the proper position, tidy up docilely.

If there is such a day, Beidi, Qiang, Xu Zishen, and King Yan can all become chess pieces on the chessboard.

Everything in the world can be played as chess, and everything can be played in the palm of your hand.

Why?Why did that person just not give him the chance?

Hua Yangjiao was holding the imperial edict, his hands trembling slightly, the brocade scroll seemed to be crushed under his grip, after a long time, he relaxed again, smiling and nodding to the second and third colleagues walking towards him, It was the look that should have been high-spirited after receiving the reward, and the previous expression was gone.

The author has something to say: * Shujishi: Shujishi is a short-term official position in the Imperial Academy awarded after passing the Jinshi examination.During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Shujishi ranked among the top in the imperial examinations, and those with potential were awarded the status of Shujishi. They were allowed to study in the Imperial Academy first, and then awarded various official positions.After Ming Yingzong, it was customary that the first-class Jinshi in the imperial examination was awarded to the Hanlin Academy for editing and editing.In addition, from the second-class and third-class, young and talented people are selected to enter the Imperial Academy as Shujishi, which is called "selecting halls".

In short, the general meaning is that outstanding candidates in the current imperial examinations can be selected as Shujishi, and in the Ming Dynasty, cabinet members generally had to be from Shujishi, such as Zhang Juzheng and Yang Tinghe.

The two are taking turns suspected of falling off the horse
