Daming One Piece

Chapter 141 The Heart of Defense
To anyone in a high position, no human life is worth mentioning.

For high-ranking people, they often only choose benefits.

Two years ago, after the Donglin Party was expelled from the imperial court and many people were imprisoned and tortured to death, after the Eunuch Party used Wei Zhongxian to drive Donglin away, many members of the "Eunuch Party" expressed sympathy for Donglin's situation.Because Wei Zhongxian's behavior of trampling on the rules of the political game and killing people has broken the bottom line of party struggle since Wanli.

Although Gu Bingqian also expressed sympathy for Donglin's experience, it did not prevent him from cooperating with Wei Zhongxian.After all, in his position, the most important thing is profit.

Some people die in vain, but it is just a common occurrence in the world.

It is not worth mentioning at all!
Gu Bingqian said directly.

"This matter is a foregone conclusion. Shanxi merchants have colluded with the Eastern Captives and have evil intentions. This crime cannot be removed. No matter who does this matter, it will definitely kill people. If we do it, maybe fewer people will die. , if it is handed over to Boheng, how many people will die!"

The Boheng he was talking about was Feng Quan, a cabinet minister. The successive tragic deaths of others were all planned by him.

That person is a hardcore eunuch!

"Indeed,"

Of course Ding Shaoshi knew Feng Quan's character, and he would never let go of this opportunity to claim credit in front of Wei Zhongxian. How to claim credit is nothing more than using someone else's head to claim credit.

"In this matter, what can we do? It is nothing more than to try to save some people's lives when the time is right, as for the rest, it is beyond our power!"

Gu Bingqian's words made Ding Shaoshi think about it deeply. He nodded and asked.

"Then what is Gu Xiang worried about?"

"I worry……"

Gu Bingqian said.

"I'm worried about someone else,"

"Another person? Who is it?"

"His Majesty wants to summon Shi Yiwen."

"Shi Yiwen?"

Ding Shaoshi said in surprise.

"It's the Nanyang businessman who donated food? Why did His Majesty think of meeting him?"

It's just a commoner, since it's a military post, so what?Isn't it also a false job?

Why does His Majesty want to see him?

After thinking about it, Ding Shaoshi said.

"Could it be that he worked hard on Eunuch Wei? Well... that's possible. After all, since he can donate [-] shimi, he must be someone who is willing to donate money. No wonder they asked us to renegotiate. To reward him,..."

Re-discussing his appointment, on the surface, is because the man has made great contributions in arresting the Eastern prisoner, but in reality?I'm afraid it's still a matter of money.

"It should be that he worked hard on Eunuch Wei's side. Originally, he was just a vacant position, but Eunuch Wei instructed Tian Ergeng to transfer his military position to Jinyiwei, which suddenly became a real position."

In fact, without Wei Zhongxian's intervention, it would be impossible for Gu Bingqian to notice Shi Yiwen, but after Wei Zhongxian transferred his military post to Jinyiwei, Gu Bingqian couldn't help but think about it.

"Now that kid has a real job, and compared to others, he is good at building. You know, what our emperor likes most is craftsmen. Shi Yiwen is a businessman, so he will definitely do what he likes. Originally There is one person in the palace who is favored by the emperor, which is already a headache, if there is another person like this in the outer court, the two of them are one inside and one outside, the Ming court will be... hey."

Shaking his head and sighing softly, Gu Bingqian frowned, looking worried.

Frowning tightly, Ding Shaoshi said.

"Is Gu Xiang worried that he will enter the court as a royal guard and become a helper for some people?"

"Help, there are more than one or two people who are willing to be used by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. I am worried that that person will become His Majesty's favorite minister because of his good at building. Old things!"

What happened to Wu Zong?

Isn't it just that during the Wuzong period, the eunuchs and courtiers were favored and trusted, which led to chaos in the government.First, the great eunuch Liu Jin monopolized power, and after Liu Jin was executed, Jiang Bin monopolized power again.

Will such a thing happen in the Apocalypse Dynasty?

Who knows?

In case a Wei eunuch is eliminated here, another sycophant appears.That government really couldn't handle it.

For everything in the future, Gu Bingqian is obviously unpredictable, but he must find a way to avoid it from happening.

"Well, speaking of it this way, this person really has to be on guard, so what does Xiang Gu mean?"

Ding Shaoshi tentatively said.

"No matter what, we can't let him enter the court, but this person is also a member of Eunuch Wei. We have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds. We must prevent him from entering the court, and let Eunuch Wei not find fault. .”

In fact, without Wei Zhongxian, Gu Bingqian would have found ways to deal with this matter, but now that Wei Zhongxian is involved, the matter is naturally much more complicated.

"When paying for food and granting a job, those who are awarded are all military posts. According to common sense, such military posts are empty posts, and they cannot enter the court."

Before Ding Shaoshi finished speaking, Gu Bingqian shook his head and said.

"No, a false position may also be transferred to a real position. We have to find a way to let him leave the capital and make this matter real before His Majesty sees him."

Civil servants do not necessarily have to kill people.

For Gu Bingqian, he has a hundred ways to achieve his goal.But it is a bit difficult to make Wei Zhongxian satisfied.

However, for officials, there is nothing difficult in this world, as long as they are willing to do it, they can always get things done.

What kind of official can he be given to drive that kid out of the capital immediately?

It's really not easy to do this, no matter how easy it is, it has to be done.

What if this kid really becomes Jiang Bin's second?
I have to fold it!

Of course, as far as Shi Yiwen was concerned, he didn't even know that there were several first-rank cabinet ministers who were worried about his official position.

For him, the harvest of this trip to the capital is not good.

"A few spies were caught, the explosion of Tianqi was prevented, and the life of Tianqi's son was saved. This Chongzhen will never ascend the throne!"

What kind of emperor was Chongzhen?
Shi Yiwen didn't know, and there was a lot of controversy about him in history. As the emperor, Chongzhen strictly implemented the standards that scholar-bureaucrats set for Mingjun.

What is Mingjun?

What is a faint king?

In fact, it doesn't matter at all. The important thing is that the Ming dynasty ended in Chongzhen's hands. From this point of view, Shi Yiwen certainly looks forward to the Ming Dynasty without Chongzhen.

Of course, on the other hand, he was also a little worried.

worry about what?
Next year Tianqi will accidentally fall into the water...

That was the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty who fell into the water and lost his life. If Tianqi died and the two-year-old crown prince succeeded, who would be in charge of the government?

Thinking of this, Shi Yiwen frowned.

Wei Zhongxian?
Will he become the kind of power eunuch in the late Han Dynasty?If he really became the kind of power eunuch who would harm the country and the people, wouldn't it mean that he single-handedly pushed Daming to another dead end?
If that's the case, I really did something bad with good intentions!

But it seems that the problem is not too big. If it really doesn't work, after a few years, when Wei Zhongxian makes the sky angry and people complain, he can still clear the king's side.

Yes, this is the tradition of his old Zhu family.

At that time, it is not impossible for us to draw a scoop according to the gourd.
