Ming Empire

Chapter 201 Extraordinary Times, We Must Do Extraordinary Ways

The first court meeting after the new emperor ascended the throne broke up unhappy.

After the meeting was over, all other officials left the palace, and only Cao Yue and Sun Chuanting stayed in the palace.

"Boy, I said that I can't eat hot porridge in a hurry. Now everything is messed up. How do you clean it up?" After the court meeting, Sun Chuanting, who was full of anger, vented his dissatisfaction with Cao Yue.

"Old man Sun, although the matter is a little more troublesome than we imagined, it's not a big deal. These people thought they really had the right to speak in the court, and they didn't even look at what time it is. Without them, they would be ashamed." "Cao Yue is indifferent, and smiled at Sun Chuanting, "Old man Sun, you are also tired these days, go back and have a good rest and sleep well. Today I will visit one by one and don't support us I believe that by tomorrow, these officials will change their minds and support us and the Ming Dynasty New Deal!"

"Really? You have such great ability?" Sun Chuanting couldn't believe it.

"Just wait and see the result!" Cao Yue smiled at Sun Chuanting relaxedly, patted him on the shoulder, and went out of the palace.

After leaving the palace, Cao Yue went directly to Ma Shiying's mansion.

In Ma Shiying's mansion, Cao Yue stayed for more than an hour, and when he finally left, he took on the color of victory, while Ma Shiying, who looked ashamed, sent Cao Yue out of the mansion with a frustrated face.After seeing the back of Cao Yue leaving, Ma Shiying spat hard and said bitterly: "Boy, you are cruel, I finally understand why the officials in Nanjing obey you and dare not talk to you." Playing against the stage. Wait until one day, you will have something to fall into the hands of the old man, and you will definitely be punished to death. This time the old man admits it, and doesn't care about you."

When Ma Shiying was cursing and hadn't lost his temper enough, Cao Yue had already arrived at Qian Qianyi's residence.

Old man Qian was planning on Liu Rushi's idea, and he almost touched Liu Rushi's heart. In the end, he found out that Liu Rushi "changed her mind", and it was Cao Yue who made her change. Er'er didn't want to be with this bad old man like him, but wanted to fall into the arms of Cao Yue, a young and handsome hero, which almost drove him to death.

He hated Cao Yue a bit, but after the new emperor came to the throne, he was surprised to find that Cao Yue recommended him for the important post of Minister of Rites.But he didn't accept Cao Yue's favor. When he heard that Cao Yue was going to be the governor of the Metropolitan Government, he immediately stood up to oppose it.

He and Ma Shiying were mortal enemies. When they were officials together, they rarely had the same political views, but this time it became an exception.

Qian Qianyi knew that it was a very rare opportunity for him to be an official again this time, so he must cherish it, win what he wanted in the battle with other officials, and strive to climb to the position of second assistant or chief assistant, Under one person, above ten thousand people.

Just when he returned home and stayed alone in the study, thinking about what happened today and what to do in the future, someone came to report Cao Yue's visit.

Qian Qianyi didn't want to miss it at first, but after thinking about it again and again, he still asked Cao Yue to be invited into the mansion.

Knowing that Cao Yue was here to discuss private matters with him, Qian Qianyi deliberately welcomed Cao Yue to the lobby in order to show his neglect towards Cao Yue, and did not turn away anyone.But now, after some courtesies, after handing a manuscript to Qian Qianyi, the old man's expression changed.After picking up the manuscript for a rough look, beads of sweat rolled down Qian Qianyi's forehead, and immediately led Cao Yue to the secret room for a private chat.

"Mr. Qian, I believe you know the situation better than me." Cao Yue looked at Qian Qianyi with a disapproving expression with a faint smile on his face: "Besides these, I can tell you more Interesting things about you are all related to you!"

As Cao Yue spoke, he casually told some of the shameful things Qian Qianyi had done. These things were not written in the manuscript sent by Jin Yiwei, and Qian Qianyi turned pale when he heard it directly. up.At the end, Cao Yue said again: "Mr. Qian, I know that you and Ma Shiying are deadly enemies. In the future, you two will often have disputes in the court. Do you want to be suppressed by Ma Shiying, or do you want to overshadow him?"

Cao Yue is a typical strategy of giving someone a few sticks, and then giving him a sweet date. He has already used it when dealing with Ma Shiying just now, and he has also used it when dealing with many officials in Nanjing before. It is effective, and he believes that it is also effective for Qian Qianyi.

Many of the shady things he did were controlled by Cao Yue, and many things that might have the risk of decapitation, Qian Qianyi was a little frightened, he didn't understand how Cao Yue knew these things, he quickly and Like Ma Shiying, he understood how Cao Yue controlled so many officials in Nanjing.In an instant, he felt fear towards Cao Yue. This young man was too ruthless and scheming.

In the future, the government of Ming Dynasty will really be completely controlled by this young man. Maybe Sun Chuanting will also be controlled by Cao Yue, otherwise Sun Chuanting would not fight for Cao Yue today.

Seeing that Qian Qianyi was silent and his face was cloudy, Cao Yue said calmly again: "Qian Lao is very talented and knowledgeable, and he has a very high reputation in Donglin. It is normal to be the chief assistant for a while."

As soon as Cao Yue said this, if Qian Qianyi still didn't understand the meaning and the seriousness of the matter, he would be really confused. He immediately changed his attitude, bowed his hands to Cao Yue, and said solemnly: "The son-in-law's words Let Qian suddenly realize that the son-in-law is dedicated to serving the country. It is Qian who is blindfolded by self-interest and cannot see the situation clearly. Today he stands up against the son-in-law as the governor. Qian and his colleagues must strongly support Qian Ge and the son-in-law Lord, I hope that under the leadership of the son-in-law, the Ming Dynasty's army can recover the rivers and mountains as soon as possible, and avenge the late emperor."

"Mr. Qian is really a sensible person. I hope those people in Donglin can be like Mr. Qian. I will pay a visit to Mr. Lu Daqi and let him be the Minister of the Ministry of War. I hope he can also be sensible!"

Lu Daqi is also an important member of the Donglin Party, and he is close friends with Qian Qianyi. Cao Yue can't understand what he meant, and he will use the same method to deal with Lu Daqi, to lure the other party with a high position, and at the same time exchange for support.

Qian Qianyi had no choice but to smile wryly.He knew that Cao Yue wanted to control the Donglin Party by controlling them, but now, he couldn't fight, and he didn't even have the idea of ​​fighting.If the Donglin Party can be made big through Cao Yue, why not do it?
Seeing Qian Qianyi's expression, Cao Yue couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought of how angry this old guy was when he opposed him as the governor in the court earlier.An indescribable sense of accomplishment made him feel the joy of victory. Although the methods used to deal with these old and stubborn people were somewhat immoral, these people were not good things, and all of them were sanctimonious hypocrites. There is no psychological burden to deal with them.

But Cao Yue knows that this is not a long-term solution after all, and will definitely change in the future, and a new political system must be established.

But in extraordinary times, we still have to do extraordinary things.
