Ma Shiying's memorial for impeaching Li Guopu was quickly sent up. He was really not aimless. For example, he pointed out that Li Guopu had been in and out of the'Weigong Mansion', and Ni Wenhuan had a close relationship with Ni Wenhuan, etc., which are all well documented. .
This naturally made Li Guopu very angry, so he ordered Yushi to refute and join Ma Shiying on the same day.
Ma Shiying was so lonely, she immediately became a turtle.
On the second day, Li Guopu’s people still did not stop and began to impeach Ma Shiying rhythmically. Not only did they want to drive him away from the salt class, but also wanted to show Li Guopu's loyalty, in anticipation of Li Guopu, who was on the throne of the first assistant in the future. Able to reward the merits.
Within two days of the incident, a shocking incident happened.
After being the first assistant for nearly three years, Huang Liji, who had the merits of the dragon, wrote a letter to his official post. Then, Shi Yang, who had just entered the cabinet, came to the "temporary cabinet". Li Guopu did not live up to the expectations of the ruling and the public. Wish to ascend the first auxiliary throne.
For a while, the government and the opposition were stunned, panicked, and at a loss.
Huang Liji, who was already the former first assistant, left the Palace of the Qing Dynasty lonely, and turned the cabinet step by step, preparing to pack his things.
He did not take the initiative to make an official appointment, he was ordered to resign by Chongzhen.
There is no courteous process of'three ups and three rejections', no warmth and reluctance that monarchs and ministers should have, but persecution under the anger that does not hide the killing intent.
There was no expression on Huang Li's very thin face, but it gave people a feeling of despair.
He came to the cabinet in a daze. Just as he approached his class room, two inmates suddenly appeared and blocked his way. One of them accompanied him with a smile and said, "Master Huang, Long live Lord said, you can go directly to the house. ."
Huang Liji didn't know what the expression was on his face, and turned around slowly for a while in silence.
After not walking a few steps, I ran into Li Guopu head-on.
Li Guopu's expression was not much better than his. I thought that the first assistant's throne was in his hands, but he didn't expect it to be him.
I don't know how many people are watching his jokes, or how many people are maliciously guessing whether he has lost his holy family.
Huang Liji didn't want to say anything to Li Guopu, but suddenly stopped and said, "Are you going to take Feng Quan?"
Feng Quan was also a cabinet minister, ranking above Li Guopu, but before Huang Liji, he had resigned in a hurry.
In the past, Chongzhen liquidated the eunuch party, but did not move the cabinet ministers. Now that Li Guopu wants to arrest the cabinet ministers, this'tacit understanding' may also be broken. No one can be spared from the liquidation of the eunuch party!
Li Guopu was full of irritability, and didn't want to answer this question. He said without manners: "You are going to leave, why do you ask this?"
The wrinkles on Huang Liji's face were like knife cuts, and he said indifferently: "I may still be a whole corpse. In the future, you will inevitably be broken to pieces, and you will die without a place to bury your body. Make some plans for your future."
Huang Liji finished speaking and left straight away.
He was still a little vacant when he reached his footsteps, and his expression trance.
He had already anticipated this day, but it really came. To leave the cabinet, he was still unspeakably complicated, empty, flustered, confused, and even a little nauseous and nauseous.
Li Guopu didn't care about such a loser and went straight back to his classroom.
Sitting on the chair, frowning, his face looked irritable and uneasy.
He failed to sit on the throne of the first assistant, is it really because of the dissatisfaction of Qianqing Palace against him? Or does Qian Qing Gong really think he has something to do with the eunuch
Li Guopu was upset, and cold sweat broke out on his head before the winter was gone.
He gradually understood that this person is a person who cannot tolerate sand in his eyes and must repay him. Once he hates him, the consequences are unimaginable!
Huang Liji, the once invincible first assistant, how long it took him, could only leave in despair.
In fact, it is not as simple as'leaving'. Chongzhen once very directly'implied' that Huang Liji was also a castrated party.
Huang Liji, can't leave.
Huang Liji can't go, what about Li Guopu
Li Guopu leaned on the chair, his expression erratic.
Bi Ziyan asked Zhou Qingli to the Huhu Department on the grounds of'heavy political affairs at the Household Department'. This was what Chongzhen had always meant, and naturally he did not stop.
Zhou Qingli went to the household department, and everything about the'Wei Zhongxian Adverse Case' was handed over to Li Guopu for review.
If it were past party fights, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity. The ministers can take the opportunity to attack dissidents, cultivate private individuals, and dominate the political affairs. However, Li Guopu does not have such prestige and ability.
The intricate network of eunuchs left him at a loss and struggled.
Ni Wenhuan and Zhou Yingqiu are all hardcore castrates. Wang Zaijin, Yan Mingtai, and Yuan Chonghuan are all on the fence. Donglin people have been protecting them. Ye Xianggao and Han Huang are his predecessors and elders. The emperor respected him, he couldn't afford to offend it!
It is too difficult to catch these people clearly and let them go, so that the ruling and the opposition can be satisfied, and the palace will be satisfied at the same time!
The ruling and opposition parties are a mess of porridge, no one can hold it down. He is not on the throne of the first assistant now, and it is impossible for him to deal with the castrated party!
Zeng Youlian came in from outside, looked at Li Guopu's tired face, and hesitated in a low voice: "My lord, I heard that the Zhou family and the Yang family have already negotiated."
Li Guopu frowned, remembering Ma Shiying's memorial, waved his hand impatiently, and said, "How can I care about these things? You can tell Ma Shiying to let him do things with peace of mind."
Zeng Youlian listened, feeling a little unwilling, and said: "My lord, Zhou Zhengyun's appetite was too great that day, he..."
Li Guopu opened his eyes fiercely, and said, "Do you have to write to Zhou Zhengyun to impeach me!"
Zhou was the first person to join Cui Chengxiu. He was the one who opened the scene of the eunuch's fall. If he writes again, he will inevitably gather followers. Li Guopu is in a bad situation. If he is attacked by groups, it will not be trouble , It's a disaster!
Li Guopu had no experience in official struggles and knew that Ma Shiying was Zhou Zheng's person, and Ma Shiying's open letter to impeach him was Zhou Zheng's warning.
Zeng Youlian was taken aback, and quickly said, "Yes, my lord."
He didn't understand, why would Mr. Li be afraid of a small cabinet book
Although he didn't understand, he didn't dare not listen to Li Guopu.
Ma Shiying, who had been precarious in the past, didn't move him anymore by the cabinet Li Guopu, and Zhou Qingli was under the protection of the household department, and his position was immediately as stable as Mount Tai.
That night, Ma Shiying came to Zhou's house with a gift, and visited Zhou Qingli on the pretext of'asking for advice in salt lessons'.
Zhou Qingli knew that Ma Shiying was Zhou Zheng's person and his subordinates, and had a gentle conversation.
After leaving the Zhou Mansion, Ma Shiying's heart was surging, looking at the sky full of stars, and muttering to herself: "With such a backer, Ma Shiying will surely be able to enter the room in the future!"
Ma Shiying has stabilized here, and the negotiations between Cheng Jiji and others with Yang Huyi and Yang Huzhi are proceeding in full swing.
Zhou Zheng occupies an absolute position, and the Yang family almost let him slaughter him. Yang Huyi didn't struggle much, and almost completely accepted the demands of Chengjiu and others.
Zhou's tooth shop was renamed as'Zhou's Chamber of Commerce'. Under the Chamber of Commerce, as many as twelve trading houses were established for salt, tea, cloth, silk, porcelain, grain, fields, mines, etc.
Chengji, Shangguanxun, Liu Liuzhe, He Qishou, Wei Xizhuang and others are busy hiring people on a large scale while accepting the various industries transferred from Yanghu, and then arranging people to go out. There are a lot of things. Unable to count.
Zhou Zheng was in the house, the cabinet, and the Zhou Chamber of Commerce every day, but he didn't have the tension he used to. He sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and was already planning his departure from Beijing. (End of this chapter)
