A gentleman is a clique. A gentleman first refers to the ruler of the scholar-officials, and then he can hide the moral level. No matter how noble the morality of a peddler is, he is a villain.
Everyone has similar interests and gets along well together, so they become friends; if they have common interests without fundamental conflicts, they can form a party and take care of each other.
In a traditional human relationship society, it is obviously not easy to separate cliques.
Forging a clique for personal gain is a dazzling word in the officialdom. Perhaps it is even more insulting than cursing a mother, but how many bureaucrats are there in the world who don’t do this at all?
It’s just that there are some things that everyone can do and say.
In the Yangzhou Palace, Yang Sihai, the official of the capital, and Yang Rong, the Minister of War, one of the three Yangs, were getting closer and closer.
Yang Sihai, a native of Zhili in Nanzhili, was a Jinshi in the Jiachen class in the 22nd year of Yongle. He was in the same tribute school as Zhang Ning in the 21st provincial examination.
He was very young when he was admitted to the Jinshi. He was now in his fifth year of office, only twenty-five years old. After resigning as the inspector's censor, he is now a ward-level official in the Ministry of War.
It took only five years for the Jinshi to become a fifth-rank official, but it was not easy; like Xing Kuan, the top scholar who was the same period as him, is still in the sixth-rank, and there is no sign of being reused. His current future seems to be worse than Yang Sihai, a second-rank Jinshi.
The four seas were first appreciated by Emperor Xuande, and once inspected Huguang for military affairs. After returning, they soon caught Yang Rong's eye.
Yang Rong was determined to win over and cultivate, and the world needed a talented and famous person like Yang Rong. The two hit it off and quickly got together.
Because Shilin still cares about demeanor, otherwise everyone would believe in Yang, and it would be not impossible for Sihai to directly recognize Yang Rong as his adoptive father.
Yang Sihai was born into a wealthy family with no background. This was the first time since he entered the officialdom. This was the important officials of the court. This was not a disadvantage, but rather an advantage of innocence.
Since he was cultivated by Yang Rong, he would inevitably be branded as a faction in the future. It is a shame for the Shilin to betray easily.
Therefore, Yang Rong was also happy to win over this young Jinshi.
...Recently, Emperor Zhu Zhanji has regarded King Xiang of Huguang as a major concern. Most of the most elite Shenji Camp was destroyed in Jiujiang, which made Zhu Zhanji feel the vitality and pressure of rising new dangers.
Zhu Zhanji has issued an edict that no matter whoever in the Ming Dynasty, as long as he takes Zhang Ning's head, he will be granted a title of marquis and rewarded tens of thousands of taels of gold.
Because Zhang Ning is a brother of the same clan in blood, according to Taizu's tradition, brothers should help and be friendly. At that time, Emperor Jianwen issued a order for exemption from killing on Zhu Di, perhaps the Taizu group influenced the Taizu system; Emperor Xuande wanted to kill brothers in a noble place like this naturally was not moral...
But he was fully prepared to not recognize the identity of King Xiang and claim that this person was just pretending to be the royal family.
The emperor also instigated civil servants to write some verified articles, elaborating on Zhang Ning's ancestral home resume, and making it clear to the world.
Those who claim to be Zhu Wenbiao had their original surname Zhang, who turned their ancestors and changed their names and surnames, and were unfaithful and unfilial. They were once honored by the holy grace and entered the court as an official with the reputation of a juren, but later they had no king and father, so they raised an army to rebel.
Actually, he is a villain without a father or a king...
This kind of article is common in China, and there are many people who curse people with literary talent. It is not surprising that Wu Zetian praised the proclamation of her and scolded her very well.
So with this statement, it is legitimate to want to kill a traitor who is a false name.
As for why so many Jianwen officials gathered around an impostor, such doubts can be said to be said, but they cannot be official.
With the emperor in such a mood, the ministers below all understood that an opportunity was right in front of him: If anyone could share the worries of the emperor and quell the rebellion in Huguang, he would definitely be a great achievement in the world, and would become the minister of the court in the future, and would even be famous in history.
For military generals, fighting a hundred battles on the frontier is not as good as doing one thing once and for all, which is comparable to the merit of saving the driver, but the chances of saving the driver are too rare; for civil officials, this can be compared with the merit of supporting, and it is good luck to encounter the merit of supporting once in a lifetime.
The opportunity to achieve success is right in front of you, and anyone with the ability can seize this opportunity.
When Yang Rong met his disciples and his staff at the headquarters, he said straight to the point: We have been in Yangzhou for nearly two years, and we may move to Huguang soon.
It means that it is implying where the focus of the government is.
He naturally thought in his heart that if he performed well in this major event, it would not be impossible to become a leader in the Shilin civil servant industry in the future.
For a person like Yang Rong who is only sixty years old, the fame, wealth and status he pursued in the past few years is no longer important. He has also obtained these things. What he desires the most now is real achievements.
Life gradually reaches its end and is recognized by the world and future generations. It will undoubtedly be a perfect ending.
There were not many disciples and staff members who met in the headquarters, only three or five. There was a gray-haired old man who even had no official position, but these people were very close and trustworthy.
Everyone handed over their articles, just like the teacher in a private school was collecting homework.
However, this kind of homework is not easy to do. It requires the collection of information from many people in the Six Divisions and Jinyiwei, and even the knowledge of what they know after visiting Hu Ying.
At this moment, Yang Sihai suddenly reported to him for a visit, and everyone immediately stopped talking.Yang Rong said: It doesn’t matter, I asked him to come, so there is no need to hide these things from him.
After a while, Sihai was taken to the study by his slaves and bowed deeply at the door and said, "Student Yang Neighbor, please see Mr. Yang."
When everyone looked back, they all saw that the young man was really short, so of course it was impossible for everyone to say it.
After Yang Rong greeted him, he straightened his waist and showed his face. His face was really good. Although he was small, he had no sign of vulgarity.
Sihai's face is uniform and symmetrical, with thick and dark eyebrows, bright eyes, and good skin. It also has another kind of beautiful aura that is different from women.
This person has a firm will, a stable mind, and has a profound understanding.
Mr. Yang once heard some anecdotes about Sihai from his fellow villagers. One thing was that during the autumn examination of the village examination, the place where the inn was leaking was facing the bed, so he had to use a basin to collect water. The sound of water dripping was very noisy. In addition, the next day was an important provincial examination that only once every three years. The scholar in the same room was nervous and impetuous and unable to fall asleep. Yang Sihai was closest to him but fell asleep calmly.
The second thing is the next morning, whether because someone in the same room was negligent or someone was intentional, the door of the four seas was locked up after getting late at night, and he was locked inside. He did not yell, but he forced his arm to stretch out his arm from the window lattice to open the door. His arm was thorny and bloody. He neither asked the doctor to grab medicine or simply bandage it into the examination room to take the exam. He did not attack afterwards. His tolerance and cruelty impressed his classmates.
Another thing is that he was ridiculed by someone who was short and threatened to be ranked first in Nanjing Gongyuan. Then a scholar mixed up and told the world about this.
Sihai just said: I won the provincial examination just to participate in the imperial examination next year, and it doesn’t matter which place I am.
After hearing this, the students sighed that they were not as good as they were, and their ambitions were not on the same level.
When Mr. Yang saw him, these rumors about him flashed through his heart, as well as his usual evaluation of the four seas.He said immediately: Come here, sit by my side and take a look at these articles together.
Sihai's eyes swept over several people next to him and said quickly: The students are ignorant and shallow, so they dare not.
Yang Rong made a sound, and there was something in his tone that was not important: It wasn't that you were asking you to read the good or bad articles.Not long ago, Shenji Camp was defeated in Jiujiang. The emperor was really worried about this. He was the emperor's minister and should share his worries with the king and father.I asked someone to collect some things about the thief leader in Huguang. You can also take a look. If you have any opinions, it doesn’t matter.
Yes, it is better to obey your orders than to be respectful to students.Yang Sihai agreed only then.
Yang Rong and he read the description of the text. Others were talking about strategies, sometimes they said they didn’t, pointed out the loopholes in strategy, sometimes they flattered each other and expressed their own opinions.
Only Yang Sihai did not express any opinion.
In this era of lack of information, the powerful ministers have their natural resource advantages.
He can have the authority to check many official files, and each department itself has secret agents who collect intelligence and do the responsible persons assigned to the Secretary of the State; even the information of the Jinyiwei can be communicated with the court officials. The Beizhenfu Office of the Jinyiwei naturally has nothing to say about the court officials, but after spying on the military information of the enemy country, the Nanzhenfu Office, in addition to reporting to the emperor, it mainly serves the Ministry of War, the governor and other yamen, because the emperor sometimes does not personally inquire about specific military strategies and tactics, and intelligence can only play a role in the hands of the bureaucrats.
At this moment, Yang Sihai asked: The rebellion in Anfu County, Jiangxi was pacified by Ji'an Prefecture, and the traitors beat Prince Jianwen. Why didn't this news come from the Jinyiwei or the local report, but it was learned from Lord Hu?
An old man replied disapprovingly: I don’t know anything about the world. The Yangtze River is broken. It is difficult to deliver reports from Jiangxi to Yangzhou. It usually passes through Sichuan and comes from the northwest after turning over the Qinling Mountains. There are many twists and turns along the way.It is very common for this small matter to be reported to the court for a long time.
Yang Sihai frowned and said: This is not what I asked next. There should be many people in the Jinyiwei in Huguang and Jiangxi, why didn’t they mention this?Lord Hu (Hu Ying) should be... the Minister of War, how did he mention it specifically?
I wonder if you have heard of some old things... Yang Rong said slowly. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Mr. Hu was responsible for visiting the remnants of Jianwen for many years, but during the reign of Emperor Renzong, this matter was stopped.Now Mr. Hu just sent several of his family members to continue to investigate secretly. One of them was a disciple named Yàn Ruofei. He seemed to have not seen him in Yangzhou for a long time recently. He probably went to Huguang again... Why did Mr. Hu investigate this matter privately?I felt that he had spent more than 20 years on it, and suddenly he let go and left nothing but he might be reluctant to give up.After all, I haven’t been in the officialdom for a long time, so you must not know many things in the officialdom, but it doesn’t matter. I will tell you.
Everyone has similar interests and gets along well together, so they become friends; if they have common interests without fundamental conflicts, they can form a party and take care of each other.
