Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 22 Wang Yangming Enters the Court

"The old minister is also the same."

As soon as Liu Jian finished speaking, Xie Qian followed suit.

The two of them are getting older, and they don't want to toss any more, they just want to finish the remaining time in peace.

Zhu Hou took a look at the two of them, feeling a little bit emotional in his heart. If these two people didn't care too much about the interests of the civil society, he might still reuse them. After all, Emperor Hongzhi's Hongzhi Zhongxing had a share of the credit for them. , the ability is beyond doubt.

It's a pity that he doesn't change his mind, and always wants to sing against him, so he went to Liaodong to plant land for two years, and after returning, he became weaker every day.

Feelings are emotions, they want to leave, Zhu Houzhao will never keep them, and when they leave, the position of assistant minister in the cabinet will be vacant, and Wang Yangming will be arranged there.

"The two lovers have worked hard for Daming for half their lives, and they have made great achievements. Now it is time to enjoy their old age in peace. Although I am reluctant to let go, it is not easy to keep them. I only hope that the two lovers can take care of their bodies and enjoy their family in peace."

Zhu Houzhao said high-sounding words. After all, Liu Jian and Xie Qian are veterans of the cabinet, and he is also the assistant minister left to him by his father Hongzhi Emperor. He is leaving. If he doesn't even have a good word, it will not be good for his reputation if it spreads. .

Although he was really mean and ungrateful, and even asked Liu Jianxie to move to Liaodong to plant land, but he still had to do some superficial work.

"Sir, thank Your Majesty Long En."

Liu Jian and Xie Qian said in unison, they are about to leave, and they don't expect Zhu Houzhao to give them much generous rewards, they only hope that Zhu Houzhao can save them some face.

Obviously, Zhu Houzhao did it, and he didn't deliberately embarrass them, so they had nothing else to ask for.

After fighting with Zhu Houzhao for so many years, they know very well that Zhu Houzhao is very stingy, and it is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to give them a lot of money and stretches of land.

Jiao Fang, the last one who wanted money and land and was against Zhu Houzhao, is still working hard in Liaodong!

"The two love ministers returned to the hometown, and the cabinet has been vacant since then. I don't know if the two love ministers have suitable candidates who can take on the important task of supporting the cabinet!"

Zhu Houzhao asked, he wanted Wang Yangming to join the cabinet, but he couldn't make it too obvious. Liu Jian and Xie Qian happened to be the best candidates to recommend Wang Yangming to join the cabinet.

These two people have high prestige and high qualifications. With their recommendation as security guards, Wang Yangming's entry into the cabinet is almost a certainty, even if someone opposes it, it will be useless.

Hearing this, Liu Jian and Xie Qian smiled wryly. The two old fellows were about to leave, and Zhu Houzhao didn't forget to take advantage of them. This method was even better than Li Papi, which really left them speechless.

But they couldn't refuse. If they refused Zhu Houzhao, their retirement life would not be easy. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the brocade guards that Chengyi Bo Liu Ji enjoyed would fall on their heads at twelve hours a day.

They have no doubt that Zhu Houzhao really did it. How did he get sent to Liaodong to farm in the first place? Wasn't Zhu Houzhao deliberately instructing Liu Jin to frame them, and randomly found a cabinet assistant minister to visit brothels, which was an excuse to insult the court's face Throwing them to Liaodong has been punished for two years in vain.

If you want to add a crime, there is nothing to worry about.Zhu Houzhao played the method of creating something out of nothing very smoothly.

Since they can't resist, then accept it honestly. Of course, they have their own ideas about the candidates for the cabinet ministers after they leave, but their ideas are absolutely contrary to Zhu Houzhao.

Wang Jia, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, Liu Yu, the censor of Zuo Fudu, Liang Chu, a doctor of Guanglu, Liu Zhong, Fei Hong, Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, Jin Gui, Jiang Mian, Mao Ji
In their view, among all the important officials of the court, anyone can join the cabinet, except Wang Yangming.

It's not that Wang Yangming's ability is poor, let alone that Wang Yangming has a problem with his character, but that Wang Yangming and Zhu Houzhao almost wear a pair of pants. Once Wang Yangming enters the cabinet, with Zhu Houzhao's powerful means and Wang Yangming's assistance, who can stop this pair The footsteps of monarchs and ministers.

The tribes of the grassland have been flattened, the Japanese pirates along the coast have been wiped out along with the local Fusang, the southwestern chieftains have been suppressed, and the external threats are almost gone. Next, it is the turn of the country!
And the various power groups that were already suppressed and unable to hold their heads up, how much resistance can they have in front of Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yangming who are fighting with all their strength?
Liu Jian may not care about the wealthy gentry, the feudal lord group, or the forces of all parties, but he has to care about the interests of the civil official group. In order to continue the glory of the civil official group, Wang Yangming must not join the cabinet.

"His Majesty."

Liu Jian wanted to recommend Yang Yiqing to join the cabinet. This man's governing ability was no less than Yang Tinghe's, and he had fought at the border. His ability was also second to none in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty. If he joined the cabinet to assist the government, he should be able to suppress Wang Yangming.

However, before he finished speaking, he saw Zhu Houzhao's cold and emotionless eyes, and he immediately swallowed back the words that had come to his lips. He was sure that if the person he recommended was not Wang Yangming .

Then his end can be predicted. Returning to his hometown to take care of his life is not even a thought. It is more likely that he was intercepted by bandits on the way back to his hometown, and unfortunately died under the knife of bandits. This is the result on the surface, but in fact It is very likely that they will be secretly taken to Liaodong to farm until they die.

Judging from his decades of experience as an official, Zhu Houzhao can definitely do it.

This is a heroic figure like Cao Cao, who uses all means to achieve his goals, but the difference from Cao Cao is that Zhu Hou takes good care of other people's wives.

"Wang Yangming, governor of the Southwest, Beiping Grassland, conquering Fusang in the east, and chieftain in the south, has made great contributions. He is both civil and military. If he assists His Majesty, the Ming Dynasty will flourish and regain the glory of Yongle."

In order to live a stable life for the rest of his life, Liu Jian chose to obey Zhu Houzhao's wishes against his will.

Having been to Liaodong, he knows all too well the hardships there. The cold weather is mild. What is even more frightening is the deliberate targeting of the people Zhu Houzhao sent to supervise the work. He does not want to die in Liaodong.

"Sir, seconded!"

The old partners who had known each other for decades all spoke, and Xie Qian followed suit. Unlike Liu Jian who still had the last bit of stubbornness, he has completely broken his can. It doesn't matter who gets into the cabinet and who doesn't!
He and Liu Jian have done enough for the civil official group. They dragged their old bodies and stayed in the court to mediate for the civil official group. For this reason, they offended the emperor Zhu Houzhao. The mess of the group has nothing to do with him, whatever he likes.

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with Liu Jian and Xie Qian's understanding of current affairs. These two old guys who always contradicted him finally did something that made him feel at ease. up!

"What do you guys think?"

Zhu Hou looked after and asked the other civil and military ministers that it was a major event to enter the cabinet to assist the government, and it had to be approved by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Liu Jian and Xie Qian are only used as an introduction, a tool to put pressure on the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. The two giants of the cabinet jointly recommend it. You are opposed to anyone approved by the emperor. You don’t want to be in the court, do you?
