Chapter 132 Nowhere
Wang Yan, whose courtesy name is Minwang and his pseudonym was Weizhai. He was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Chenghua. Although he was not very capable in the court, he has always been known for his integrity and integrity and has a good relationship with Li Dongyang.
Zhu Youzhang frowned slightly and asked unhappily: "In the first year, Is it Wang Yan the only one who impeached someone to occupy the land of the people?"
There were both informed and confused at the scene, mainly because there were not many people who had read Wang Yan's commentary at that time, and Xie Qian was one of them.
In Xie Qian's opinion, Wang Yan was extremely brave. It was not good to impeach who was not good at impeaching. He impeached Zhang's relatives, saying that Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling had occupied the land of the people and had accused the women of the people. The memorial was sent to the cabinet, but Liu Jian and Li Dongyang didn't know how to vote, but Xie Qian was smart and proposed to review the matter at the discretion of the vote. As a result, the memorial was sent to the Silijian and was kept by Emperor Hongzhi and refused to post it.
Because the memorial was not issued to the six ministries, the matter was only spread to a very small range. Xie Qian knew that whenever it was involved in the empress's family, the emperor would usually not make things difficult for his two brother-in-laws, regardless of whether there was any evidence or not.
Now that Li Dongyang suddenly recommended Wang Yan back to Beijing, the emperor immediately remembered this matter. When Wang Yan asked this question, he called out his name. Xie Qian knew that the emperor still remembered Wang Yan's "stain" of the Zhang brothers and did not want to appoint this person.
Zhu Youxiu remembered after asking about it. The memorial that day seemed to be kept. It was very easy to reveal the matter with such an explanation. In the spirit of not being able to make public the family scandals, he looked at Xie Qian and asked hopefully: "Do you still remember the Xie Qing family?"
Xie Qian opened his mouth and said, "I don't know, but I realize that Wang Yan is a little mediocre in his official position. If he is transferred to the capital to serve as the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue on weekdays, he will be fine. However, now the Ministry of Revenue has lost money and food, and those who are not capable of being competent!"
Li Dongyang glared at Xie Qian, as if he blamed Xie Qian for not speaking for him.
Zhu Youzhang looked at Han Wen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and asked, "Shangshu Han, what do you think?"
Of course, the Ministry of Revenue should be asked the Minister of Revenue, but Korean went to court while sick on the same day and his right brain was a little unclear. Asking him was actually similar to not asking. Korean hesitated: "The old minister thinks that it is okay for the Minister of the King to return to Beijing!"
After all, Han Wen is the core figure of the civil service group. Li Dongyang's recommendation of Wang Yan is much more reliable than the emperor's proposal. Han Wen is ill and is worried because of the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. He hopes that someone will come out to manage government affairs on his behalf. As for Chen Xi, he never thought that he would be competent.
Even though Xie Qian's evaluation of Wang Yan was quite pertinent, Li Dongyang, Han Wen and others could not accept this.
Ma Wensheng looked at the situation. Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Han Wen were all standing on Wang Yan's side and wanted to remove the official hat appointed by the emperor to Chen Xi. He quickly shook his eyes on Xie Qian... In fact, Ma Wensheng also wanted Chen Xi to go out of Beijing to experience for a few years, instead of staying Chen Xi to serve in the capital, as Xie Qian insisted.
Ma Wensheng said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang has made great contributions to the management of Nanjing's money and grain in recent years. If he is short of all the households in the capital, the old minister thinks it is not impossible!"
Xie Qian was a little annoyed. Shouldn’t you, Ma Wensheng, be on my side? Why did the wind suddenly change?
Zhu Youting was quite embarrassed. He had already decided what he had decided, but seeing that the civil servant group was inclined to support Wang Yan's internal order, he lost the confidence he had before and had to compromise.
Chen Xi is still Wang Yan, and the tendency to support him in the court is obvious. Except for the emperor, no one seems to think that Chen Xi is qualified to be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue. Even Ma Wensheng, who made the previous suggestion, did not agree with Chen Xi. Xie Qian originally wanted to stand up and speak, but in the end he had no choice but to give up.
It’s not that Xie Qian didn’t want to help Chen Xi fight, but that he thought he couldn’t get it. Moreover, the job of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was inconsistent with Xie Qian’s previous expectations. Xie Qian most hoped that Chen Xi could enter the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Shi Mansion, which was really not possible. He could be the chief official in the Tongzheng Envoy Department, Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple and other temple officials.
Zhu Youzing asked several ministers about their opinions, and their opinions were the same as those of Ma Wensheng and Li Dongyang. In this way, the emperor would not insist on letting Chen Xi serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Finally, Zhu Youzing glanced at Xie Qian and wanted to ask Xie Qian about his opinion, but thought that Xie Qian alone could not stand on his side now. The ministers present were basically important members of the civil service group. Even if there were occasional internal targets, they would advance and retreat together on major issues. Zhu Youzing thought:
"We should train more young ministers to enter the court, otherwise our Zhu family may be surnamed Liu or Li!"
Zhu Youzhe said: "Since that's the case, then I'll just make the decision to transfer Wang Yan to the capital because he temporarily took over the Ministry of Revenue!"
Zhu Youzhang was depressed because he failed to arrange a suitable official position for Chen Xi. Then he disbanded the court meeting on the grounds of being unwell.
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang came out of the Ganqing Palace with dark faces. Although they seemed to have won the battle with the emperor before, they knew that they were in opposition to the emperor and angered the king.
The minister contradicted the emperor, and even if he succeeded in the end, it would be unfavorable to his career. In the end, the emperor's attitude fully explained the problem, and he was obviously wary of the civil servant group.
Xie Qian caught up with Ma Wensheng a few steps and asked, "Old Ma, what are you doing? Why did you go back on your word and leave Chen Xi's official position unattainable?"
Ma Wensheng asked in surprise: "Yu Qiao, don't you want Chen Xi to enter Hanyuan?"
Xie Qian said annoyedly: "That depends on whether he can get in. His strength lies in handling matters on the spot. Even if I intend to cultivate him to succeed to the cabinet, it is not a matter of day and night. Your Majesty wants him to undergo training in the six ministries, but he was rejected for no reason and proposed to appoint Wang Yan. However, Wang Yan was annoyed by Your Majesty for impeaching his relatives?"
The three cabinet members knew about Wang Yan’s memorial, but Ma Wensheng did not.
After Xie Qian made the words clear, Ma Wensheng realized why the emperor was so unhappy before. After careful consideration, Ma Wensheng said leisurely:
"Even so, it is not wrong to transfer Wang Yan to Beijing. Wang Yan is upright and upright. The trouble of the Ministry of Revenue is that the orders of the Ministry of Revenue cannot be implemented. Officials at all levels are seriously corrupt, and relatives and nobles from other countries are also doing it. If Chen Xi is asked to take the Ministry of Revenue to do the job, he will inevitably be frustrated by all kinds of dirty things. Yu Qiao, would you like to see this scene?"
Xie Qian thought about it and found that the water in the Ministry of Revenue was indeed very muddy. He had already felt the power of the nobles and relatives, and he really didn't want Chen Xi to go to the Ministry of Revenue to perform his duties. Xie Qian sighed: "Bendo Ma, you are right, but Shen Xi's errands are still not determined. Could it be that the key point was the same as before the Governor Yansui, who let him work in Beijing for a period of time?"
Ma Wensheng smiled and said, "Yu Qiao, you don't have to worry about this. Now Chen Xi is highly valued by His Majesty. Do you think Your Majesty will treat the heroes of the Ming Dynasty unfairly? Haha."
Xie Qian heard Ma Wensheng laugh happily, but he couldn't laugh. He wanted to help Chen Xi fight for great achievements and get a better official position. Things are not going well now, which goes against his original intention. He felt more and more that the civil servant group excluded Chen Xi, and this problem was too difficult.
When civil officials in the Ming Dynasty governed the country, literati had a habit of being arrogant and thought that they were amazing, and others only deserved to carry their shoes.
As the saying goes, literati are inferior to each other. If Chen Xi is a very low-key, rigorous in his work, and has a deep background, such as Wang Shouren, he may be appreciated and cultivated by Li Dongyang.
But unfortunately, Chen Xi was always a poor family without any background. In addition, Chen Xi wanted to keep a low profile but could not keep a low profile. His achievements and contributions seriously affected the layout of the civil service group. Li Dongyang and others unknowingly treated Chen Xi as a thorn that was capable but could not be treated with.
