Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao - Chapter 434
Chapter 434 No living temples allowed? The bureaucrats are panicking!
Ma Shiying was helpless, he didn’t expect Zhang Gui to threaten the civil servants and generals of Ming Dynasty with the words “If he is not made king, he will go farther”.
Ma Shiying had no choice but to follow Zhang Gui’s instructions to write Zhang Gui’s memorial to impeach Liu Tingyuan and request that the county king Xianjue Shizhen Lushun.
Many bureaucrats in Ming Dynasty really hoped to get ahead by relying on connections.
After all, if you get promotion opportunities based on the assessment of seniority, ability, merit, and integrity, the time cost will be too high, and it will also make many egoists who only want power but not fulfill their responsibilities, as well as mediocre abilities but willing to work hard for themselves It is difficult for incompetent officials who make money to be promoted to high positions through normal channels.
And in the bureaucratic system, such **** account for the majority.
This is impossible.
It is human nature to prefer shortcuts.
Also as Ma Shiying said, no matter what, there are still many villains in the world.
Coupled with the influence of Confucian culture for thousands of years, it does not pay attention to rules and pays more attention to human relationships, and even thinks that relatives and relatives are praiseworthy behaviors.
It also makes many people talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust, but they are full of how to go heresy.
Therefore, the bureaucratic groups of Ming Dynasty really needed a dictator.
In this way, they only need to try their best to please this person who can decide everything in the world, and then they can get promoted by pleasing and flattering this person, and then obtain more benefits that are not worthy of their own talents and virtues. able to hide their own incompetence.
But now the real ruler of everything in the world, and His Majesty the Emperor who can be flattered by them, stays at home, and does not give them a chance to flatter and make progress.
But I can only choose to replace Zhang Gui, who can dominate everything in the world and has just made great achievements.
So, the bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty actually need Zhang Gui very much now.
It’s like the bureaucrats of Ming Dynasty needed Wei Zhongxian very much in history.
Because of this, Liu Tingyuan, as one of the bureaucrats who wanted to take a shortcut to progress, took the initiative to build a living shrine for Zhang Gui.
But Zhang Gui didn’t appreciate it in the end.
Having studied history and knowing that the political rules of this world are not the only way to play, he chose to refuse, refusing to be dragged down by the bureaucrats, but chose to retreat as an advance. He pushed forward to be the second Yan Song’s apocalypse to compromise with him.
Zhang Gui didn’t intend to really work for the old Zhu’s family for the rest of his life, and then he would be killed by the people of the old Zhu’s family.
Zhang Gui also knows very well that in the face of power struggles, any kinship is unreliable.
So, Zhang Gui now simply headed south to Lushun.
There is his absolute confidant Xichang official Huang Binqing’s navy stationed there. Most of the navy’s backbone is from his family background, so he can go to other places at any time.
It can be said that as long as Zhang Gui arrives in Lushun, he can become a great pirate at the same scale as Zheng Zhilong at any time.
This is also the difference between Zhang Gui and the traditional power ministers in Chinese history.
In the history of China, the traditional power ministers were limited by the times, and they only had the consciousness of the mainland, thinking that the world was only China, and other places were barbaric lands.
But as a traveler, Zhang Gui has a sense of the ocean, and knows that besides the land, there is also the ocean as a foothold for his prosperous life.
However, because of this, when the news that Zhang Gui did not return to Lushun immediately after the victory, but went to Lushun, it immediately caused an uproar.
People in this era don’t understand why Uncle Zhang Guo called himself sick and went to the beach when he was most proud, instead of coming to the capital to accept the congratulations of the officials and enjoy the great glory.
The first one who didn’t understand was Ma Shiying.
And the second one who doesn’t understand is Liu Tingyuan.
Liu Tingyuan really didn’t expect that he would be dismissed and questioned because he built a shrine for his uncle Zhang Gui.
Zhang Gui has the right to kill first and play later.
So, before Zhang Gui’s impeachment memorial to Liu Tingyuan was delivered to Beijing and was approved as popular, Jinyiwei in Liaodong had already obtained Zhang Gui’s order first, and Liu Tingyuan was under control.
“I want to see the Grand Master! I want to see the Grand Master!”
Because of this, Liu Tingyuan had to shout when he was arrested by Jin Yiwei again. He really wanted to ask Zhang Gui, why he didn’t appreciate it!
…
“Absurd! The rewards are determined by the imperial court. How could Uncle Zhang Guo mention the rewards himself? Is this threatening the imperial court?!”
Liu Hongxun, who was newly added to the cabinet, also didn’t understand at this time, so he complained in the cabinet.
Cheng Jiming, who was also newly added to the cabinet, also sneered: “This is not threatening the court, this is contempt for the court!”
“Just waiting for him to return to Beijing after the victory of Duke Zhang Guojiu, and then to present the captives and report to the late emperor’s mausoleum and Taimiao. In the end, the grand master only sent Sun Butang and Zhou Zongli to lead an army back to Beijing.” In Beijing, he led his soldiers and servants to Lushun to recuperate from his illness, and he also set a reward for his meritorious service this time, and wanted to be crowned king.”
“How can a famous artifact of the imperial court be destroyed! Calling a king with a different surname can only be achieved by the founding of the country. The key is to posthumously. If there is anyone who is not a clan, he will be named a king!”
“What the two old elders said is very true, the court etiquette cannot be broken! And even if you want to be crowned king, you should ask for the crown after returning to Beijing. How can you invite the award before you return to Beijing? Behavior.”
The Minister of Rites, Qian Xiangkun, also followed suit.
“Please show Yuanfu the decree that the drafting office does not approve the ticket, and return it to Beijing immediately.”
Liu Hongxun said something at this time.
The new chief assistant, Wen Tiren, went to the Department of Planning and Strategy after receiving Liu Hongxun’s memorandum and draft proposal, found Wei Zhongxian, and said to Wei Zhongxian, “I would like to ask Nine Thousand Years to give it to Your Majesty according to this proposal.”
Wei Zhongxian glanced at the ticket: “No?”
Wei Zhongxian asked Wen Tiren as he spoke: “If Your Majesty also agrees, will this cause Uncle Guo to be dissatisfied?”
“I don’t know if Uncle Guo is playing **** on purpose. It’s better not to agree to try it first. And in any case, if he doesn’t return to Beijing now, he has disrupted the big guys’ arrangements.”
“It was supposed to be a great victory, and we were all waiting for his outstanding uncle of the country to return to Beijing, so that the whole world can celebrate together, but he didn’t come to Beijing. How can the rich gifts prepared by the rich and bureaucrats in the capital be given? Where can Che flattery go?”
“In addition, he also refused to be built a shrine, so many officials can’t use this way to please him. What should I do?”
“Is it possible that you really want to invite His Majesty out, and then say that this great achievement is the result of His Majesty’s strategic planning? But the key is that the only one who can invite His Majesty is the uncle of another country!”
Be warm and benevolent.
Wei Zhongxian nodded: “That’s right! The test results are about to begin, and all the officials in the world are waiting for his uncle to come to Beijing to give everyone a reassurance, but the uncle refused to show up. Caught off guard.”
Speaking, Wei Zhongxian said: “Our family will go and hand over the draft and memorial to the emperor.”
“Who let you in! Don’t bother me! Didn’t I say long ago that Zhang Qing can’t enter at will?!”
Wei Zhongxian was blasted out by Tianqi as soon as he entered Tianqi’s laboratory.
Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to report in a hurry: “The emperor calm down! The slaves didn’t dare to come in, but the uncle Guo’s memorial has arrived, and the cabinet has already drafted, just waiting for your approval.”
“Zhang Qing’s Memorial?”
Tian Qi took the memorabilia after listening to it, and after a glance, he laughed: “It’s him after all!”
Wei Zhongxian asked because of this: “My lord, what is the proposal of the cabinet?”
“Criticism! Let him go back to Beijing first.”
