Chapter 936: Shi Kefa's helplessness


Qian Qianyi is relatively decisive in his actions.

Once he makes up his mind, he quickly takes action.

After the next day, Qian Qianyi sent his servant to invite Huang Daozhou because he had to find out if there was anyone else behind Huang Daozhou.

After all, they are now enemies of Chen Yue.

Chen Yue's power is too huge, and the Jin Yiwei controlled by Chen Yue's lackey Liu Neng is even more pervasive, so he has to be careful to guard against it.

If Huang Daozhou hadn't told others before persuading him, there would still be hope of success.

And if Huang Daozhou had discussed with many people before meeting him, Qian Qianyi would not cooperate with him anymore, but would turn against him.

After all, compared with his own wealth and life, the survival of Confucianism is not worth mentioning.

Huang Daozhou was not surprised when Qian Qianyi asked himself, "Muzhaigong, you must have figured it out."

"Brother Youping, I wonder if you have told anyone else about this?"

Qian Qianyi asked straight to the point without beating around the bush.

Huang Daozhou shook his head: "This is a serious matter, and Dao Zhou dare not tell others casually."

"Where's Yuan Fu, didn't you tell him?"

Qian Qianyi asked.

Although Qian Qianyi is the leader of the Donglin Party, in terms of official position and reputation, the first assistant Shi Kefa is above Qian Qianyi.

The matter of overthrowing Chen is of great importance, and it is impossible for Huang Daozhou not to talk to Shi Kefa.

"No."

Huang Daozhou shook his head.

Seeing Qian Qianyi's disbelief, he explained: "No really.

Dao Zhou felt that although Yuan Fu was upright and upright, he was indecisive when it came to things and was not someone who could discuss important matters.

Besides, Yuan Futa He tried his best to compromise with Chen Yue and pushed Princess Kunxing to supervise the country, which shows that she admires Chen Yue very much.

If I said that Chen Yue would destroy Confucianism, I am afraid that Yuan Fu would not believe it if I told him about it.

It will create resistance.”

Qian Qianyi couldn't help but feel a little complacent in his heart.

It turned out that in the eyes of knowledgeable people like Huang Daozhou, his ability and influence had surpassed that of the first assistant Shi Kefa.

What Qian Qianyi didn't know was that the reason why Huang Daozhou came to him first instead of Shi Kefa was because in Huang Daozhou's eyes, Qian Qianyi was most likely to oppose Chen Yue, much more than Shi Kefa.

Shi Kefa was from Kaifeng.

Kaifeng had gone through wars and had long been deserted.

Shi Kefa was an extremely honest official.

Whether Chen Yue dealt with nobles or gentry, in fact, he had little influence on Shi Kefa.

In Shi Kefa's heart, I am afraid that he agrees that the officials and gentry should pay taxes together and cancel some of the privileges of the gentry.

In fact, Chen Yue's various actions are in line with Shi Kefa's thoughts, so the possibility of convincing Shi Kefa is extremely slim.

On the contrary, Qian Qianyi was from Suzhou, and the Qian family was a large family in the southeast.

The family owned 100,000 acres of land, and they were engaged in countless businesses including silk, cotton, and even maritime trade.

Therefore, if Chen Yue takes advantage of the gentry, the Qian family will suffer huge losses, which Qian Qianyi will never want to see.

In the eyes of people like Qian Qianyi, they always only have their own interests.

No matter what the world or the people are, they are not as good as his family's one-third of an acre of land.

This was Huang Daozhou's first reason to find Qian Qianyi.

However, in Qian Qianyi's eyes, Huang Daozhou trusted him more than Shi Kefa, which made him extremely happy.

"Yuan Fu is upright, so he can be trusted.

But you, my dear brother Youping, did the right thing.

As the saying goes, if a king does not keep secrets, he will lose his ministers, and if ministers do not keep secrets, they will lose themselves.

If a few things are not kept secret, it will cause harm.

King Chen Yue of Qi is too powerful.

It’s huge, so it’s really not advisable to make it too public before things are clear.”

Qian Qianyi said with a smile.

Huang Daozhou cupped his hands and said, "May the male horse of Muzhai look forward to it."

Qian Qianyi said: "The power of King Qi is too huge, so the overthrow of Chen needs to be done slowly.

The top priority now is to let His Majesty regain power and take back the monarchy from the hands of the princess who supervises the country."

Huang Daozhou said: "This matter should be easy to do.

Your Majesty's health has improved, and it is just right to regain the power.

The princess is only a supervisor of the country, and the princess is pure filial piety.

How can she go against your Majesty?"

Qian Qianyi shook his head: "It's not that easy.

Princess Jianguo is easy to say.

After all, she is only a girl.

Although she is smart, she has no ambition.

But don't forget that behind Princess Jianguo, there are King Chen Yue and Chen Yue of Qi.

Although in Beijing, the influence left in Nanjing is very huge.

Not to mention the all-pervasive Jin Yiwei, who is Chen Yue's eyes and ears in the inner palace?

His Majesty has been ill for many days and has long lost the ability to control the inner palace.

If his intention to regain power is easily exposed, he may not even be able to guarantee his safety. " Huang Daozhou nodded with a serious face, secretly thinking that he had found the right person to find Qian Qianyi.

When it came to conspiracy, I am afraid no one in the whole court could be Qian Qianyi's opponent.

"Please tell Mu Zhai what to do specifically."

"Your Majesty's coming to court is only one aspect.

What we have to do is to completely control the city of Nanjing.

So the first step is to control the inner palace, then control the Beijing camp, and then take back the Jin Yiwei from Liu Neng's hands.

In this way, the entire Nanjing will be completely controlled.

Only in the hands of His Majesty can great things be accomplished."

Qian Qianyi told Huang Daozhou his plan.

"Please leave your Majesty to attend court and control the affairs of the palace.

I will be responsible for it.

Brother Youping, what you have to do is to convince one person.

As long as this person is on our side, the city of Nanjing can be in our hands."

"Who is this person?"

Huang Daozhou asked quickly.

"Huaiyuan Hou Jingying Governor Chang Yanling" After Huang Daozhou said goodbye and left, a figure walked out from behind the screen, but it was Du Xiufeng, Qian Qianyi's confidant.

"Proprietor, can Mr.

Huang do it?

Can he persuade Chang Yanling?"

Du Xiufeng was very worried about Qian Qianyi's involvement in such a big thing.

After all, the power of Qi King Chen Yue was now very huge.

Qian Qianyi said: "Zhuang Daozhou is well known all over the world.

Huaiyuan Marquis Chang Yanling has always been arty and has special admiration for Huang Daozhou.

It is more suitable for Huang Daozhou to lobby than others.

Chang Yanling had always been loyal to Geng, and he was the only remaining founding figure of the country.

If Chen Yue succeeds in rebelling against the Ming Dynasty and succeeds on his own initiative, it is impossible to retain Chang Yanling, a distinguished figure from the previous dynasty.

Chang Yanling knows this better than anyone.

The founding honors of the country are hereditary and will rest with the country.

If the Ming Dynasty dies, the honors and honors of the Ming Dynasty will naturally cease to exist.

Whether it was for the Ming Dynasty or for his own interests, Chang Yanling was destined to stand with His Majesty.

Xiufeng, your mission is to get in touch with the person in the palace as soon as possible. " "Yes, proprietor" Du Xiufeng agreed and left the Qian Mansion.

At noon, he appeared in a teahouse in Jinxiufang.

"Master Du, you are still the same as before."

The waiter introduced Du Xiufeng to the dining room attentively.

"Same as usual."

Du Xiufeng casually threw a piece of broken silver into the waiter's hand, "If Mr.

Zhou comes, let me know."

"Thank you for the reward, Mr.

Du, don't worry."

The waiter went out happily and quickly brought tea and snacks.

Du Xiufeng sat in the elegant room and slowly drank tea and snacks, leisurely and contentedly.

Not long after, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes was introduced into the private room by the waiter.

Du Xiufeng stood up quickly and clasped his fists in greeting.

"Mr.

Du is so laid-back."

The visitor sat down with a smile, picked up a snack and put it in his mouth.

His attitude was very casual, which showed that they were very familiar with each other.

"I'm just helping others.

I can't compare to the big housekeeper Zhou who manages everything every day."

Du Xiufeng said with a smile.

"Fart has a lot of things to do every day.

Eunuch Tian stays in the palace all day long and rarely comes out.

I am so idle every day," Housekeeper Zhou said with a smile.

"Isn't it good to have free time?

Drink tea and listen to music, and live as happily as a god.

This is a good life that no one else can even imagine."

Du Xiufeng said with a smile.

"Hahaha, what Mr.

Du said is true."

Butler Zhou also laughed.

The two chatted casually, and when they parted, Du Xiufeng said casually, "My elder brother wants to see Eunuch Tian, ​​so you have time to send a message to the palace."

Butler Zhou was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.

When the cabinet was on duty, several cabinet ministers were busy, and there was a mountain of memorials in front of everyone.

The Ming Dynasty was in a troubled time, and the princess who was overseeing the country had just come to power.

She was not very familiar with state affairs and needed the cabinet to make decisions on everything.

After Wang Yin, the cabinet minister, took charge of Fujian, only three bachelors, Shi Kefa, Lu Zhenfei, and Qian Qianyi, were left in the cabinet, and everything fell on them.

The most important thing at the moment is to reward the soldiers who have made meritorious service in the Northern Expedition.

After all, the Northern Expedition's great victory has inspired the world, but the soldiers cannot be chilled because the rewards are not timely.

Rewards for ordinary officers and soldiers are easy to say.

They are nothing more than silver rewards for promotion.

These are all established and followed.

Now that the summer tax and salt tax have been levied, it is still possible to spend a sum of money.

But in terms of senior generals, it is really difficult to reward them.

During this Northern Expedition, many generals emerged who made great achievements, such as Li Yi Jinxin and Wu Ping Yu Feng.

These people used to be the commander-in-chief, and they all had the title of earl.

Now they have made great achievements again.

If they are to be knighted again, they have to be granted the title of marquis or duke.

Suddenly there will be many more princes.

The Ming Dynasty has always been very strict in controlling titles and did not grant titles at will.

But if it is not sealed, it will definitely chill the hearts of the soldiers.

The world is far from peaceful now, and soldiers still need to continue fighting.

There is also the Qi King Chen Yue who once again made great contributions to the sky.

How to reward him?

So how to reward these generals who have made great contributions, even the first assistant Shi Kefa is quite difficult.

Therefore, Shi Kefa had to call the other two pavilion elders to discuss.

"Yuanfu, positions are for conferring abilities, and titles are for rewarding merits.

During the Northern Expedition, the soldiers made great contributions, so why should the imperial court be stingy with the reward of being a marquis?"

Lu Zhenfei, the second assistant, said resolutely.

Qian Qianyi shook his head: "I believe that the matter of ennobling a marquis or a duke is too big for us to deal with.

It should be reported to the palace for His Majesty's decision."

"Your Majesty."

Lu Zhenfei frowned slightly, "Now the princess is supervising the country.

Your Majesty has not recovered yet, so you don't need to disturb him about this matter."

Qian Qianyi said: "The reason why the princess monitors the country is because your majesty is ill.

Now that your majesty is getting better, I should naturally ask your majesty for instructions on matters.

After all, the princess is young and has no knowledge of state affairs."

Shi Kefa was silent for a while and then said, "It is natural for Your Majesty to manage politics, but there is no need to act too hastily.

Your Majesty's health is the most important thing in everything.

Let's do this.

I will report the results of our discussion to the princess of the prison country, and it will be up to the princess to decide. " Lu Zhenfei said: "It should be so."

Then he left.

Qian Qianyi had nothing to say about Shi Kefa's decision, but sneered inwardly.

Seeing the two pavilion elders leaving, Shi Kefa's eyes were very complicated.

Shi Kefa naturally knew what Lu Zhenfei and Qian Qianyi were thinking.

Lu Zhenfei belongs to Chen Yue's family and has completely sided with Chen Yue.

Now that the princess is in charge of the country, the Qi King's family is extremely powerful, so Lu Zhenfei naturally doesn't want anything to happen.

However, Qian Qianyi is a representative of the Donglin Party.

If the party that is most opposed to Chen Yue taking power is none other than the Donglin Party.

After all, Chen Yue's past actions were all contrary to the interests of the Donglin Party.

But Shi Kefa himself was very conflicted and entangled.

First, he is a member of the Donglin Party after all, and most of the officials who support him are from Donglin.

As the chief assistant, Shi Kefa cannot go too far against the wishes of Donglin Party officials.

But after all, Shi Kefa is still the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and he has the entire Ming Dynasty on his shoulders.

He must think about the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world.

Twenty years of state affairs have proven that Chongzhen was extremely unqualified in power, and the world was getting worse and worse under his governance.

On the contrary, in the more than half a year since Chongzhen suffered a stroke and was in coma, the situation in Ming Dynasty has rapidly improved and things are getting better and better.

Therefore, in Shi Kefa's heart, it was not so urgent for Chongzhen to return to power.

On the contrary, there was a vague expectation in my heart, hoping that the situation of the princess supervising the country would continue.

Chongzhen is recuperating in the palace, the princess continues to supervise the country, the King of Qi continues to lead troops to quell foreign captives and internal thieves, and the cabinet still decides on government affairs.

This is the most perfect situation.

However, this was simply impossible.

As soon as Chongzhen's condition improved, many people in the court were ready to take action.

Do these people really support Emperor Chongzhen?

I'm afraid not.

Chongzhen has been on the throne for so many years.

He has been mean and ungrateful.

He dismissed his chief ministers and killed ministers.

He almost treated his ministers as enemies.

How could they be loyal to him?

The reason why these people were eager to invite Chongzhen to come to power was just to deal with Chen Yue, the king of Qi.

Although Chongzhen was mean, he was easy to fool, and the world still belonged to the gentry.

But Chen Yue is different.

Once Chen Yue comes to power, he will definitely take action on the gentry.

Many people have already seen the consequences.

That's why Qian Qianyi suggested that Chongzhen should come to power.

The saint's words told Shi Kefa to be loyal to the emperor, but his heart told Shi Kefa that the world might be better without Chongzhen.

Without Chongzhen, Princess Kunxing would supervise the country and become the queen.

Although it was a bit shocking, it was the most beneficial situation for the Ming Dynasty.

As for the future, the Ming Dynasty can be passed on to the princess and Chen Yue's son.

This will ensure that Chen Yue will always be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the world will not be turbulent.

With Chen Yue here, it would be natural to wipe out the traitors and pacify the foreign captives as soon as possible.

If the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty are united, and the officials of the DPRK and China work together, the situation in the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous.

And this is what Shi Kefa has planned for a long time.

However, with Chongzhen's awakening, everything was no longer controllable.

In which direction the situation will develop, even Shi Kefa doesn't know.

Shi Kefa felt powerless now.

He had a premonition that the situation would soon be out of control, and maybe this time the Ming Dynasty would really slip into the abyss. s: The computer suddenly malfunctioned while I was using it.
