Chapter 140 Competing for the B-book
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the Qianqing Palace is a little more solemn.
This is the residence of the emperors of the former Ming Dynasty. The Great Zhou Dynasty followed the Ming system and made some changes. The Qianqing Palace was refurbished. The court affairs were no longer controlled by the imperial gate, and the daily affairs were changed to the Qianqing Palace.
Since Emperor Guangyuan, this has been the emperor's residence and court affairs office, and the emperor would basically choose this place to meet foreign ministers.
"Zhang Qing, what do you think Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen are going to do?" Gujing Wubo's voice came from one end of the hall, there were only a few people in the whole hall, and there were only two real protagonists.
"Returning to Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, the dispute between the north and the south of Shilin is a practice that has continued since the Song Dynasty. From the Ming Dynasty to the Zhou Dynasty, this kind of atmosphere has not changed. The essence is that the style of writing in the southern Shilin has been overwhelmed." The northern region where the capital is located has shocked the inner superiority of the scholars in the northern region. The reason is that the northern region was affected by the war on the nine frontiers, and the people's livelihood was poor, which made the children of ordinary people in the region far less educated than those in the southern provinces. easy,……"
Standing on the east side, Zhang Jingqiu has a tall and thin body, a pair of eyes that are as bright as diamonds, two short beards on his thin lips, and slightly high cheekbones, showing that this person is not so easy to deal with.
"I'm not asking this, but what they want to do at this time?" Yonglong Emperor Zhang Shen was a little displeased.
Zhang Jingqiu was unmoved, "I'm afraid the original intention was not what Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen thought. The invitation to Zhu Guozhen and Miao Changqi to go north to give lectures should be sent out a year or two ago, but the two of them delayed the trip until now. This is the key." .”
"Oh, you mean Zhu and Miao have plans?" Emperor Yonglong was not surprised by this.
"The prosperity of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Your Majesty, who doesn't have his own ideas?" Zhang Jingqiu smiled bitterly, "It's just that these two people don't represent the two of them. Six parts, even some people may be a little quiet and eager to move."
"That Zhang Qing, do you think this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Emperor Yonglong smiled silently.
"When misfortune comes, fortune rests on it. When fortune comes, misfortune rests on it. Your Majesty, for you, you only need to keep quiet and not give others an opportunity to take advantage of it, and you will have the chance to win." Zhang Jingqiu comforted.
"But Zhang Qing knows that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. This grand event has affected countless people's hearts. The whole Zhou Dynasty scholars are looking forward to it, and even the officials in the court are discussing it a lot, and they don't even have much thought about the affairs of the court." After a pause, Emperor Yonglong said again: "There are still people with impure motives and ulterior motives..."
The impure motive made Zhang Jingqiu understand what the emperor meant.
This is a problem, but Zhang Jingqiu doesn't think it's a big problem, but the emperor is very worried, or takes it very seriously.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, such tricks are hard to come by. If the Great Zhou Shilin was so easily swayed, wouldn't it be a joke for the Great Zhou court to support scholars for a hundred years?" Zhang Jingqiu shook his head again and again.
"Zhang Qing, don't be careless, some people are very good at pretending to be powerful, and..." Emperor Yonglong pondered for a while, as if he was considering his words, and then said after a while: "I don't know what Emperor Father is thinking at this time,..."
After Zhang Jingqiu was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly became serious, "Your Majesty hasn't been to Ningshou Palace to say hello these days?"
"Why don't I go?" Emperor Yonglong laughed mockingly at himself, "But Emperor Father never mentioned this matter, and I didn't ask many questions."
Zhang Jingqiu frowned slightly and then opened it quickly, "Since that's the case, it's simple. Since the Supreme Emperor doesn't ask, then His Majesty can do as you want. The imperial court is also very concerned about this kind of scholarly event, so let the Ministry of Rites send people. Finally Fortunately, the servants of the Ministry of Rites personally intervened and cared, and this kind of upright and upright act can represent the imperial court,..."
Emperor Yonglong's eyes lit up.
One sentence from Zhang Jingqiu woke him up. Since the emperor didn't ask, it means that some people may not have really inherited the meaning, but just added drama without authorization.
"Zhang Qing, that's all for the Shilin Festival, but I always feel that there are still some unspeakable things here. Do you understand Qi Yongtai?" This is the question that Emperor Yonglong wanted to ask.
"What do you want to ask, Your Majesty?" Zhang Jingqiu said calmly, "I haven't had much contact with Qi Yongtai in the past few years. He lives in Qingtan Academy. When he was serving in the court, I was in Nanjing, but..."
"But what, Zhang Qing just said, don't worry about anything." Emperor Yonglong was very concerned about this.
"This man was one class earlier than my minister, and he was valued by the Supreme Emperor as soon as he entered the Imperial Academy, but later, due to various reasons, he was dismissed, reinstated, and then resigned..." Zhang Jingqiu was also considering his words, "This man has a tough character. , doing things in a very orderly manner, and there is a stubbornness that will not give up until the goal is achieved, but it is not the kind of pedantic person who does not know how to adapt,..."
It is rare to get such a comment from Zhang Jingqiu's mouth.
Emperor Yonglong knew that his confidant had always been harsh in evaluating people and rarely praised him, but it was really rare to be able to comment on Qi Yongtai like this.
"Since this person is highly valued by my father, why did I have frequent quarrels with my father?" Emperor Yonglong asked seemingly casually.
Zhang Jingqiu was taken aback, he didn't believe that the emperor would not understand these situations.
Although this happened in the past ten years, the reasons are very complicated, and even lasted for many years. There are many reasons. I also said that Qi Yongtai is not the kind of person who does not know how to adapt, but why Qi Yongtai resigned?
After the crown prince was abolished back then, all the kings seized the throne, but the Supreme Emperor did not establish a crown prince for a long time, but finally passed the throne to the one in front of him abruptly. If this emperor would not understand what happened in the court for so many years, Then he doesn't believe it.
Just asking yourself at this time, it is obvious that there are other meanings.
"Your Majesty, it's a long story, and it's not a day or two or a dispute over two things. Some cabinet ministers used by the Supreme Emperor and Qi Yongtai probably had different views on some issues. In the end, the Supreme Emperor Supporting some cabinet ministers and officials from the six ministries, Qi Yongtai was a little disappointed. The specific issues involved a wide range of issues, including the nine-sided opening of China and France, military settlements, and the strategy against the Tatars, um, and maritime trade. There are too many, this kind of conflict has accumulated too much, and in the end it may only result in the resignation of one party,..."
Zhang Jingqiu was still working in Nanjing back then, so he was a little aware of these situations, but a little unclear. Of course, he didn't say anything about the more important one.
That is, Qi Yongtai firmly opposed the abolition of the prince. Even after the abolition of the prince, Qi Yongtai believed that the prince should be restored. As for the only reason, it was beneficial to the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
He didn't know if this person in front of him still had any grudges about this matter, if Qi Yongtai and his party insisted on success, maybe there would be no such thing, and it would be Prince Yizhong who took the big position.
Emperor Yonglong looked thoughtfully at the left servant of the Ministry of War. The current minister of the Ministry of War, Xiao Daheng, is not worth relying on. The right servant, Wang Ziteng, belongs to his father. How to balance this situation now, he has no idea. well considered.
Zhang Jingqiu's opinion is very pertinent, and he keeps calm, and he can't act rashly now.
The more the eldest brother can afford to dance, the more stable he must be, and he cannot "dance with the smell of chickens".
But this does not mean that I will let it go. As the emperor, I can naturally have my own coping strategy, and it is a grand and aboveboard coping.
But this guy also underestimated his own mind, and worried that he still remembered the matter of Qi Yongtai protecting his elder brother's position as the prince?
Emperor Yonglong smiled lightly and shook his head: "Zhang Qing, don't be too taboo. In the past, it was hard to say who was right and who was wrong. The key is now, um, would I still care about anything with my courtiers? Zhang Qing is too jealous. Did you underestimate me?"
Zhang Jingqiu was not embarrassed, and smiled frankly: "Of course it's best for the emperor to think so. His Majesty sits in the world. Qi Yongtai is not a fool, so he can see the situation clearly. I also plan to find a chance to get in touch with Qiao Rujun..."
Qiao Rujun is Qiao Yingjia.
Qiao Yingjia has a close relationship with Qi Yongtai, and this time Qiao Yingjia is very likely to be promoted to the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Qi Yongtai's previous visit to Beijing should also be related to this matter.
Emperor Yonglong was noncommittal, "Well, Zhang Qing, this grand meeting of scholars should not be underestimated. I think Aiqing should understand the meaning contained here, and must pay attention to it. I will make an order from the Ministry of Rites, but this is not enough, love Qing also needs to think about how to deal with this matter, um, among the scholars of Shuntian Mansion..."
The voice gradually became weaker, but Zhang Jingqiu understood what Emperor Yonglong meant, and nodded slightly.
It should be said that His Majesty still sees it very clearly, guarding against the passing of time, and never letting that side easily gain something in the hearts of the Shilin people. This move is well deserved.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do it myself."
*******
Wang Yongguang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back and didn't make a sound for a long time.
As the head of Chongzheng Academy, he was very happy that Yang Sichang "found" such an opportunity before. To be honest, he was also very surprised that Qingtan Academy was willing to take the initiative to share such a grand event with Chongzheng Academy.
He didn't think Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen were so generous.
Although the two academies can't be said to be in the same situation, after all, there is a competitive relationship and the distance is only a few miles. It is impossible for you to say how harmonious it is.
But after contacting it a few times, I really didn't notice any tricks in it. Chongzheng Academy is not a small family who is afraid of challenges. Wang Yongguang has no reason to refuse such a great opportunity.
After this, the two companies quickly joined forces and cooperated, and everything went according to the predetermined steps.
Miao Changqi and Zhu Guozhen have already arrived in Baoding and will soon arrive in Beijing, and Tang Binyin is also making a big splash in Beijing.
Of course, Chongzheng Academy will not show weakness, and Elder Fang Ge has already spoken out for this.
But Wang Yongguang did not expect that Prince Yizhong would suddenly become so interested in this scholarly event, and he also followed the emperor's wishes and sent someone to contact him.
At this time, Fang Ge's attitude became blurred, and his words were vague.
All of a sudden, Wang Yongguang smelled a strong conspiracy here.
Continue to work hard to code words, brothers who have a monthly pass will drop one, encourage it
