After the end of the war, the whole "Qi State" had its worst New Year in history. The court even cancelled many New Year celebrations. The "Qi State" was a bleak cloud. The most troublesome thing for Zheng Yuan is the money that was just looted from the merchant. I am afraid that this time he still won't be able to keep a single penny. Think about it all because of money. If it weren’t for the money, “Qiguo” would go to this battle. If you don’t fight, there won’t be such a big defeat. Now you don’t just want to keep the money. He also made a fiasco and returned, it was so depressing and depressing.
The emperor wanted to be trousers for the poor, but Dongfanghong was fat and oily. After I didn’t go home, my mother and two wives gave me a good comment. Then they generously took Ouyang Yuying and Yao Xuezi to go shopping to prepare for the New Year, and said with great enthusiasm: "Buy whatever you like, husband, I The poor are left with money!" In order to make the two beauties enjoy themselves, Dongfang Hong called ten subordinates to be'coolies' this time.
Naturally, Ouyang Yuying would not be polite to this, and pulling Yao Xuezi was a shopping spree. Yao Xuezi was relatively restrained at first, and she didn't want anything that was more expensive. Maybe because the family has always been relatively poor, she has developed a good habit of saving! However, this traditional virtue has obviously not been able to hold on. This is not under Ouyang Yuying's instigation, and has already begun to move towards a'shopaholic'! Ugh! What a woman's nature!
The two beautiful women shopping is definitely the business's great pleasure. One day, Dongfang Hongguang's hands are cramping, and his ten subordinates are directly foaming at their mouths when they are tired. Since then, the brothers of the "Red Blood Hall" secretly have a rule that anyone who makes a mistake, as long as it is not too big, will be punished by accompany the boss’s Ma Zi to go shopping. This also makes the brothers of the Red Blood Hall become more strict. Good habit of self-discipline.
After shopping in this street, then of course Dongfanghong must tell the story. Yao Xuezi is not careless about this matter. He also gave Dongfang Hong the time to go out. Of course, he had to make up all the stories that he hadn't told these days. The two beauties also made a request, because it's the New Year! So all the stories told must be festive and auspicious. Dongfanghong fainted on the spot after hearing this, but she would not let Dongfanghong pass when she fainted. She still had to talk when she woke up.
Dongfanghong was tossed by two beauties at home for more than two months, and of course also took care of the business by the way. Just as Dongfanghong expected, all commodities have increased in price because of the levy of the Anti-Japanese War, but the increase was not very large. The business in Dongfanghong's hands did not increase under his instructions, which also won him many customers. Chen Ping was busy all day long. Similarly, as long as Chen Ping catches him, Dongfang Hong must go to honestly check the accounts, causing Dongfang Hong to flee when he sees his subordinate.
Fortunately for Dongfanghong, he accidentally discovered that Yao Xuezi turned out to be a good accountant. Once because of being dizzy and dizzy by the ledger, Dongfang Hong did not go home, but the two wives found it. After knowing that Dongfanghong was done by the account book, Yao Xuezi took over as her part, and it was all done by dividing by two. I also found some small problems inside, which directly stunned Dongfang Hong. In Yao Xuezi's words, these are nothing. In the past, when her father was Taishi, she helped organize the information. She also handled all the expenses in the home and the mansion, so it was a trivial matter to check the accounts.
So Dongfanghong hugged Yao Xuezi in ecstasy at the time, gave her a fierce fragrance on her face, and decided that Yao Xuezi was her housekeeper! Chen Ping naturally had no objection to this. Besides, Dongfanghong often couldn't find anyone, so let his wife be responsible for everyone's peace of mind.
Two months after the New Year, Dongfang Lund's'Northern Army' was fully staffed and Qin Qiong led personnel for training. Almost half of the officers of the entire'Northern Army' are Dongfang Lunde's henchmen, so today's'Northern Army' is already regarded as Dongfang Lund's direct line of troops! The military and political officials of the entire'Yongzhou' are mostly under Dongfang Lunde. It can be said that even if Dongfang Lunde leaves here, it is difficult for others to grasp the real power of'Yongzhou'.'Yongzhou' has completely become Dongfang Lunde's power. Self-reserved land, there is no need to worry about someone being able to shake his position here.
Because of this, Dongfanghong decided to start a plan to let his dad enter Beijing. At this time, there was news from the capital that several ministers in the DPRK and China almost fought in the court hall. The reason is actually very simple. The people of several big families refused to give up each other in order to allow the court to allocate more money to themselves. The patriarch added to the flames, so that the matter almost came to an end. As the emperor, Zheng Yuan didn't even have to intervene. In the end, if it wasn't for the imperial army to enter the palace in a fit of anger, no one would have listened to him.
Dongfanghong knew that Zheng Yuan must hate these families, so Dongfanghong hit the iron while it was hot, and immediately asked the "Tianji Zhenren" to start discussing how to get his dad into Beijing. Lao Dao is now admiring Dongfanghong's five bodies, so Dongfanghong will implement everything he says, so a plan is sent to the eyeliner of the'Adverse Tianzong' in the court.
"Damn it! Do these courtiers take me as the emperor seriously! They just want to rebel!" Zheng Yuan cursed with an angry pat on Long An.
The scribe at'Yingtian Pavilion' stood calmly and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down your anger. Now you don't have the power to cut off these people in one fell swoop, but once these words are known, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zheng Yuan also knew the crisis inside, so he sat on the dragon chair angrily. At this time, the eunuch reported to Neishi Ling Wang Yun for advice. Inner Shiling Wang Yun was in charge of the emperor's diet, daily life and expenses, which was equivalent to the internal affairs office of the'Qing Dynasty'. It is also because he is directly responsible to the emperor, so the emperor’s most trusted person is responsible for the order of internal history, but this Lord Wang Yun may disappoint Zheng Yuan, because he is a high-level spy who is placed by the emperor by the “Tianshizong”. .
"King Yun to see your majesty, long live, long live, long live your majesty!" A middle-aged man in his forties who looked more savvy and capable knelt in front of Zheng Yuan. He is Wang Yun of Internal History Ling.
"Let's be flat!" Zheng Yuan is still very important to this internal history order, but in the court, he is the emperor's confidant. Zheng Yuan watched Wang Yun stand up, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Wang Aiqing?"
Wang Yun respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the ministers in the courtroom yesterday were really outrageous. If this is not rectified, I will be in danger in the future!"
Zheng Yuan waved his hand to stop Wang Yun from continuing to say, and said helplessly: "Forget it! I really don't have the energy to control them! As long as these ministers can contribute to the'Qi State', I will not blame it!" Obviously Zheng Yuan He obeyed the advice of the scribes and tried his best to suppress his anger.
"Weichen understands His Majesty's difficulties, but if you let it go on like this, it will be difficult when your Majesty wants to rectify it! So in the eyes of the Weichen, you should take action now."
Zheng Yuan looked at his confidant and wondered why Wang Yun is so concerned about this matter today? But there is some truth in what he said. It's not uncommon to see the legacy of raising tigers!
So Zheng Yuan asked, "Does Wang Aiqing have any good ideas?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers have long been uncomfortable with those families who consider themselves high in merit. Therefore, after thinking about it for many days, I finally thought of a family that would not intensify the conflicts, but also weaken the strength of the families, and would be able to completely eliminate these goals in the future. The fellow without your majesty."
Zheng Yuan immediately became energetic when he heard it, and even the scribe in'Yingtian Pavilion' listened attentively. Zheng Yuan could not wait to urge him and said: "Aiqing will speak quickly."
"That's what we think. Now many ministers in the middle of the DPRK hold multiple positions, especially the patriarchs of several large families. Then your Majesty might as well give one or two of their concurrent duties to others. …"
Zheng Yuan immediately interrupted and said: "This method is definitely not feasible."
Wang Yun said with a smile: "Your Majesty will first listen to the Weichen. What Weichen means is that these separated official positions are not randomly assigned, but from whomever is separated and then taken over by a member of whose family. For example, Master Dongfang is not only a Taiwei, but also a general of the military department, the'former camp' soldiers and horses, then your majesty will take out the position of the military department and let someone from the Oriental family take over, so Master Taiwei There is nothing to say, after all, the rights are still in the hands of their family. This is equivalent to weakening the rights of these important ministers in disguise. In the future, your majesty can take back all these rights little by little, so that it will not be taken back. It caused too much disturbance. Just imagine that your Majesty will withdraw even a trivial position from a heavy minister, and I am afraid that it will be opposed. If you follow the method of a small minister, it will be much easier for your Majesty to take back the same position. Up."
Zheng Yuan was already a little tempted to hear this. At this time, the scribe next to him asked: "Master Wang's method is really good, but you should think that each family will definitely hand over the rights to the successors they identify. What's the difference with no split, and on the contrary, there will be more people in the court who oppose your Majesty. Isn't this not worth the gain?"
Zheng Yuan heard that it made sense, but Wang Yun explained: "The branch of official positions is not to let each family choose their own replacement, but your Majesty, you designate people from each family to take over. There are some in each family. For them, they have been fighting openly and secretly for the position of the head of the family. If your Majesty let people who are obviously at a disadvantage in the internal struggles of the families take up these official positions, wouldn't it be enough!
First; these people who are almost out of competition in the family will definitely be grateful to your majesty, and they will also be grateful to your majesty. Even if they will change their hearts in the future, under the current circumstances they will definitely rely on this mountain of His Majesty. This will be very helpful to your majesty to push the executive order.
Second; the other powerful heirs of each family will definitely feel a crisis of this, then they will take action to make the internal chaos of each family more chaotic, even torn apart, so that the heads of the family will deal with the problems in the family all day long. There is a dispute, who else will have a casual intrigue on the court again!
Third; once there is a fight within their family, they will naturally make unremitting efforts to bring down each other, so they will definitely expose each other or make mistakes in the fight. In this way, as long as your Majesty grasps the handle, these people can be removed and investigated at any time, and the vacated rights will naturally return to His Majesty's hands.
Fourth; in fact, you don't need to talk about it, your majesty, you know it. A family has been torn apart and the power in his hands is losing again. The Weichen guarantees that even if his majesty does not do anything within 20 years, these families will exist in name only. "
Listening to Wang Yun's explanation, Zheng Yuan couldn't help showing a happy face. For the emperor, he was not afraid of enemies outside, let alone defeated. What they fear most is those'aristocratic families' in the court. These people not only hinder the emperor's every move, but also the spikes in the emperor's heart. They must always beware of whether these people will stabb themselves in the back.
Now Wang Yun's idea can be said to be very good. Although it takes a little longer, it also avoids causing ****. Who is willing to use force if it can evolve peacefully! So Zheng Yuan praised Wang Yun a few words admiringly, and promised to reward him. Then Zheng Yuan solicited the opinions of the scribe of'Yingtian Pavilion'.
The scribes pondered for a long time and said: "This matter must not be too hasty. It must start with four first-rank elders. These four are all three dynasty veterans, and they are all quite old. It is just use of this to let them make certain positions in their hands. For their people. As for the other people, let them go first. When the four senior ministers have no problem at all, then the others will have nothing to say. To do this, your Majesty must first find a helper. In view of your majesty’s father-in-law Wei Taishi as a good helper, your majesty can promise that the Wei family’s candidates will be decided by the Taishi himself. As long as the Taishi proposes to resign from a part-time official position to cooperate with your majesty, there shouldn’t be any major problems."
When Zheng Yuan heard it, his heart was overwhelmed. He had been holding back the idea of rectifying the dynasty family for many years, and now he finally had a solution. Zheng Yuan said to do as he said, and he and his two confidantes immediately considered the details of the matter, repeatedly deliberating and finalizing the plan, and finally Zheng Yuan ordered "Master Xuan Tai to enter the court!" So the'Qi State' court was about to come. There was a big change of blood, and the director behind this play was Dongfanghong.
