MTL - Number of People-Chapter 2650 The torrents of the guizi scroll surged, and the hidden thunder bursts

   "The key is the army?" Qiao Yingjia responded quickly, "With the young rope (Sun Chengzong) around, there is no danger in the army."

Qi Yongtai shook his head, "Zhisheng has been in the military department for a long time, and his command strategy is fine, but he has never really mastered the army. There is still a difference between commanding a battle and personally leading troops into battle. He is different from warriors like Feng Tang, Wang Ziteng, and Niu Jizong. In comparison, it’s still a bit worse.”

"Chengfeng, are you worrying a little bit?" Qiao Yingjia disapproved, "These troops in Beijing, the Beijing camp, the Shangsanqin army, as well as the soldiers and horses in the five cities and the patrol battalion are all under our control. Can you stand the wind and waves?"

   What Qiao Yingjia said is correct. The three major battalions of the Beijing Camp and the upper three pro-armies were basically under the control of the cabinet and the Ministry of War after Feng Ziying vigorously purged them during his tenure as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

  Whether Emperor Wantong or Niu Wang could get in too many hands, even if they both served as military envoys of the Beijing camp, after several trials and hardships, there were not many direct descendants of them left.

"Maybe I'm worrying too much, but I always feel a little uneasy in my heart. Daofu was unwilling to be lonely. He agreed to take office together at the beginning, but I'm not healthy now. I want to retire early. Will he agree? I was originally resentful for not being the assistant last time." I'm full, and now I want him to retreat with me, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble."

Qi Yongtai also had some headaches, he couldn't keep up with his body, and if he wanted to come down, he would disrupt many of the original layouts, "There is also a guest (Tang Binyin's word), he can't stay in the cabinet, otherwise Liuji (Gu Bingqian) will be worse." I can't hold him down, but to get him down, I'm afraid he will have to toss, and I find it tricky now."

Originally, Tang Binyin was considered to withdraw from the cabinet after one full term, but it has only been more than two years now. Tang Binyin will definitely not agree, but if he is allowed to stay in office, Gu Bingqian will definitely not agree. The two are deadly enemies. If Tang Binyin stays In the cabinet, Gu Bingqian absolutely cannot control the cabinet.

  Thinking about these things, Qi Yongtai felt overwhelmed.

   "Chengfeng, the situation is indeed a bit complicated and tricky, but we have to determine a goal first, and then solve them one by one. You can talk about your ideas first." Qiao Yingjia said in a deep voice.

Although Li Sancai is from the north, he has already been excluded by the orthodox scholars in the north. This guy is friendly with the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. recognition.

Now, besides Qi Yongtai, the leaders among the northern scholars are Qiao Yingjia, Cui Jingrong, Sun Chengzong, Han Yu, Wang Yongguang, and Sun Ju. The two Shanxi scholar leaders, Han Yu and Han Yu, gradually became the northern scholar leaders after Qi Yongtai.

  Han Yu's qualifications are slightly inferior to Qiao Yingjia's. Qi Yongtai's idea is that if he really wants to become an official due to illness, Qiao Yingjia must step up.

"My idea is that if I come down, you must join the cabinet, and Daofu and the guests will also come down. In this way, Liuji will be the first assistant, Mingqi (Huang Ruliang) will be the second assistant, and Dongxian (official Ying Zhen) and you, if possible, I want Ziying to come back,..."

  Qiao Yingjia was taken aback, "Let Ziying come back to join the cabinet?"

Of course, Qiao Yingjia was also happy to see Feng Ziying come back to join the cabinet. After all, Feng Ziying was considered the leader of the young scholars in the Northland, and he was also recommended by him alone. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is his benefactor, and he is also a student of Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen. close.

If Feng Ziying joins the cabinet, it will not only help him strengthen his voice, but also further coordinate his relationship with Huguang scholars. Qiao Yingjia himself has a normal relationship with the leaders of Huguang scholars such as Guan Yingzhen, Chai Ke, and Yang He. However, it would be much easier if Feng Ziying came to transfer from Zhongyuan.

But Feng Ziying can come back, even arranging a minister is not a problem, but it is a bit more difficult to join the cabinet directly. He is too young, even if he has made countless contributions, this era is still an era that emphasizes seniority. Pavilion, I'm afraid that people like Han Yu, Cui Jingrong, Wang Yongguang, and Sun Juxiang will feel very uncomfortable.

  Qi Yongtai understands Qiao Yingjia's worries, but he needs Feng Ziying to join the cabinet, even though there will be many difficulties and resistance.

   "Ru Jun, have you read the test method?" Qi Yongtai asked.

Qiao Yingjia was silent. He knew that Qi Yongtai attached great importance to Feng Ziying's first draft of the test method. Over the past year, Qi Yongtai's main focus was on further improving and enriching the structure of Feng Ziying's first draft. The detailed rules of the law are quite rich, and have even begun to be piloted in Xianghe County in Shuntian Prefecture, Tongzhou in Xi'an Prefecture, and Xuzhou in South Zhili.

In Qi Yongtai's own words, his chief assistant can be inappropriate, but the examination method must be put into practice, even though the implementation progress may be quite long, but Qi Yongtai thinks it is worth it, and Feng Ziying's entry into the cabinet is to ensure that this examination It is the reliance that the established law can continue in the future and will not be abolished.

  Qiao Yingjia also recognized some things in the test.

  He was born as a censor, so he is naturally no stranger to many things in the examination method, and he also feels that he has gained a lot from it.

  However, he still believes that some things in the Kao Cheng Law are too idealistic, such as the system is anti-corruption and resistance to change, some things are too deviant, such as too much emphasis on economic affairs, and some things are too sensational, such as some measures on people's livelihood.

   All in all, the idea is good, but it may not be able to be implemented, and it still needs to be discussed and repaired.

  Qi Yongtai's words also showed Qi Yongtai's attitude, that is, to ensure Feng Ziying's entry into the cabinet.

But let Feng Ziying enter the cabinet, and according to the five cabinet ministers set at the beginning, Gu Bingqian is the first assistant, Huang Ruliang is the second assistant, in exchange for the support of the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, Guan Yingzhen will continue to stay in the cabinet, and Feng Ziying and himself will join the cabinet. Jiangnan, Beidi, and Huguang form a two-two-one pattern, but Li Sancai and Tang Binyin must be pulled out, and they must be persuaded that there will be no suspicion among the scholars in the Northland.

   This difficulty is not small.

"Ru Jun, I know that the test method is not perfect. If I retreat and my body can maintain it, then I will spend the rest of my life studying how to improve the test method. But I also know that once I get down, I will continue to promote the test method. To implement it, you need support, you have some prejudices against the examination method, but you can accept it, I can understand, so I need Ziying to join the cabinet to prepare for the promotion after it is perfected in the future."

  Qi Yongtai didn't hide anything about Qiao Yingjia, his old friend for many years.

  They are all scholars from the north, and they have known each other for many years, but it does not mean that they are completely consistent in political views. Some differences in views are also normal, which can be verified and reflected in daily affairs, and there is nothing serious about it.

  Qiao Yingjia didn't mention the final method, but went straight to the point: "What should I do with Li Sancai and Tang Binyin?"

"Daofu's side is a bit troublesome, but I plan to find an opportunity to talk to him. As for the guests, I think Liuji and Mingqi should be able to handle it well. At worst, like Miao Changqi, give a minister, and his favorite student Isn't Han Jing the most important thing for him? Entering the Imperial Academy gives him a bachelor's degree." Qi Yongtai said flatly.

  Qiao Yingjia immediately admired Qi Yongtai, who has always been upright, and could make such a compromise. It seemed that Qi Yongtai was really going to pave the way for Ziying.

Nodding his head, Qiao Yingjia pondered for a while: "I'll go to Yuchen (Han Yu) and Bofu (Sun Juxiang) to talk about it. Zhisheng may not care much about this. He has a good relationship with Ziying, Ziqiang (Cui Jingrong) It's nothing,..."

Qiao Yingjia, Han Yu, and Sun Juxiang are from Shanxi Township, and they have always had a close relationship. To unite the scholars in the North, we must first stabilize the Shanxi scholars. Also relieved.

"These things are actually easy to say. After all, they are our internal problems. Everyone has the overall situation in mind. Although Ziying is young, she is quite experienced in dealing with people. She has a good relationship with Gu Bingqian, Huang Ruliang, and the scholars in Jiangnan and Huguang. I am more I'm worried about Li Sancai's side, I'm afraid this guy won't let it go." Qiao Yingjia expressed her worry.

  Qi Yongtai raised his head and thought for a while, "Daofu will definitely make a fuss, but I'm still the chief assistant, so he won't be able to make waves. If necessary, he will be ordered to resign directly..."

   "But what if he doesn't accept it?" Qiao Yingjia asked back.

   "Don't accept?" Qi Yongtai was startled, as if this kind of thing had never happened before.

  If the cabinet ministers agree that you should resign and make a request, if you don’t resign, what’s the point of staying in the cabinet? The Chief Assistant can directly deprive you of the right to guide the court affairs, and the Seventh Ministry, the Secretary of General Administration, and even the provincial governors will ignore you. Isn't this self-inflicted humiliation?

   "Isn't it?" Qi Yongtai muttered, and immediately became strict: "Then dismiss."

Removal is a little more complicated. If the cabinet draws up votes and the emperor uses the seal to deprive them directly, it will be a political scandal, which will greatly damage the reputation of the person concerned. For descendants and descendants of a family, almost no scholar would make such a bad strategy.

Qiao Yingjia also felt that this possibility was too small, but he always felt that Li Sancai seemed a little mysterious during this period, and he couldn't tell if this guy really stiffened his neck and refused, and waited for the cabinet to dismiss him. Qi Yongtai is also a harm, and it will give the outside world the impression that Qi Yongtai is difficult to control the overall situation.

   This is a loss for both sides, but the problem is that Qi Yongtai is about to retire. Even if there is some injury, it is irrelevant to Qi Yongtai, and he can afford it, but the impact on Li Sancai is much greater.

  Li Sancai should not dare to be so presumptuous.

  Qiao Yingjia thought about it, but couldn't think of anything wrong here.
