Because the case of Greed for Ink in Zhejiang involved Yan Shifan, but in view of the fact that the time to "overthrow Yan" had not yet arrived, the Jiajing Emperor could only order Yan Shifan to withdraw from the cabinet; at the same time, in order to balance the power of the cabinet, the Jiajing Emperor also ordered the two backbones of the "Qingliu Party", Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, to withdraw from the cabinet.
After weakening the "Yan Party", it is to overthrow the "Yan Party", and after the overthrow of the "Yan Party" it is the "Qingliu Party" to control the cabinet, in order to maintain its absolute authority and continue to firmly control the cabinet, the Jiajing Emperor dug a big pit for the "quasi-first assistant", Xu Jie, and attributed the reason for Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's withdrawal from the cabinet to "Xu Jie's Advice".
Before the "Yan Dang" had fallen, cracks had already appeared inside the "Qingliu Party", and this hand balancing technique played by the Jiajing Emperor was indeed clever.
At the end of the cabinet meeting, Yan Shifan said that "Yan Shifan, Gao Gong, and Zhang Juzheng can return to the ministry", leaving the three lonely.
At this time, Yan Shifan was angry in his heart, and Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were not happy, there was anger that the "Yan Party" had not yet fallen, and there was dissatisfaction with Xu Jie's expulsion from the cabinet.
They were all full of anger and had no place to scatter, and the three of them walked at the same time on the only way back to the headquarters, a confrontation, which was inevitable.
Yan Shifan, who had walked to the front, turned back violently and said loudly sarcastically:
"Pulled me off the horse, and thought that the two of them had rewarded the Forbidden City with the two of them." It turns out that you are still walking. ”
The so-called "skinny camel is bigger than a horse", even if Yan Shifan was withdrawn from the cabinet, he still had a father of the "first assistant of the cabinet"; although Yan Song only bore the name of "first assistant of the cabinet", the shock was still there, and the power was not reduced. Coupled with the arrogance that Yan Shifan had cultivated for more than twenty years, this scolding naturally required Yan Shifan to dare to start.
At the cabinet meeting, Yan Shifan, who was dizzy by Zheng Bichang and He Maocai, finally recovered his wisdom value and single-handedly picked the weak ribs of others to attack.
The main work of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng in the cabinet was not to make decisions for the people or to share worries for the imperial court, but to single-mindedly want to overthrow the "Yan Party." As for what kind of performance they will have after the overthrow of the "Strict Party" and whether they will become the second "Strict Party," it is a matter of benevolence.
Now, the representative figure of the "Yan Party", Yan Shifan, has been overthrown, but Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng have not been able to take advantage of it, and they are really depressed. More importantly, the reason why Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, who did not make mistakes, were withdrawn from the cabinet was because of the "advice" of "their own people" and the fact that the "strict party" had not yet fallen, and their own people had first infighting, which was really humiliating.
Hearing this sentence, Gao Gong could not stand and immediately fought back:
"The legs of life are used for walking. Could it be that Elder Xiao Ge's legs could not even walk away from the horse? ”
The so-called "hit people without punching people in the face, scolding people without revealing the short", although Yan Shifan in the play is not reflected, but the historical Yan Shifan has a disease in his legs, and this high arch of this counterattack is indeed strong enough. More crucially, Gao Gong still calls Yan Shifan "Xiao Ge Lao", a Xiao Ge Lao who has just been removed from the cabinet, this wave of ironic attacks, the intensity is not small!
Yan Shifan, who was already harboring a fire in his stomach, was even more angry and immediately fought back:
"Gao Suqing!"
Shouting to stop each other and leaving yourself time and space for refutation is an essential element of a quarrel.
"'Little boy left home and went back to the boss', if you are really willing to walk, you should understand today that you can go."
This irony is more direct: Gao Suqing, Gao Suqing, you have turned around and returned to the origin, ah, recognize each other, resign and go home as soon as possible!
"Do you still want to wait for the chair of the cabinet chief assistant, I tell you, Xu Jie has not sat on it yet." Even if Xu Jie sits on it, it will not be passed on to you, Jiangnan he still has a student Zhao Zhenji waiting, and he also has a student Zhang Ju waiting next to you. ”
The spearhead pointed directly at the fragile network of relations within the "Qingliu Party", coupled with a large pit that the Jiajing Emperor specially dug for Xu Jie, Yan Shifan's provocation was fatal.
The relationship between Xu Jie and Gao Gong, the relationship between Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, the relationship between Gao Gong and Zhao Zhenji, the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Zhao Zhenji, Yan Shifan used only one sentence to fundamentally disrupt the "Qingliu Party".
Which of the six officials and feudal officials does not want to enter the cabinet? After entering the cabinet, which one does not want to be the first assistant? Power, a man's favorite aphrodisiac! Remember when Xu Jie announced his decree at the cabinet meeting and read that "listening to Yan Song Xu Jie's suggestions, zhang juzheng will remove Yan Shifan from the cabinet cabinet", the high arch is enough to kill people's eyes?
There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, and "clear stream" is no different!
Yan Shifan's words, even if he directly talked about the pain of the high arch, he would not easily get on the set, and could only play a "rogue":
"I don't have any father who is the first assistant, and I never wanted to be the first assistant!"
I don't listen, I don't listen, Wang Ba chanting; I don't want to, I don't want to, with you to provoke!
After saying that, Gao Gong did something that only a child could do--striding forward, deliberately bumping into Yan Shifan, and leaving directly.
Regarding this move of the high arch, there is a very authentic explanation in the original novel:
Those who love to quarrel have always been afraid of two kinds of people, one is to let you jump like thunder, but his heart is as calm as water; the other is to pick you up and shoot you and go away. Gao Gong made the second move today, leaving Yan Shifan angry there, and he was in the West Garden, and he couldn't always chase after him with his robe.
Gao Suqing, who was born into a scholar, while reading poetry and books, did not forget to master the offensive strategy and basic methods of quarrelling, which was the experience of fighting and the experience of fighting!
Rao is Yan Shifan's arrogance, he can't rush over and crash back, he can only turn this anger to another person, Zhang Juzheng.
"Zhang Prodigy."
There was no title for "name", no title for "word", not even for official titles, and directly shouted "Zhang Prodigy". This is obviously the way the elders call the younger generations.
It is reasonable to say that Xu Jie called Yan Shifan "Brother Donglou", Zhang Juzheng was Xu Jie's student, and Yan Shifan should be Zhang Juzheng's elder; but after all, the two were subjects of the same dynasty, and they served in the same cabinet, and their official ranks were basically the same.
"You have read a lot of books since you were a child, and you should know that there was a prodigy in the Three Kingdoms, the allusion of Kong Beihai!"
"Kong Beihai", which is also a regular visitor in our primary school textbooks - let the hole of the pear melt! Here, to mention a digression, it is not recommended to advocate children to learn "Kong Rong let the pear", greedy and greedy is the nature of children, forcing them to be humble is only to forcibly change the child's will, and even dampen the child's sense of competition, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits!
Zhang Juzheng is worthy of the reputation of "prodigy", and Yan Shifan's words immediately guessed his key and responded:
"It's been hours, and it's inevitable. Does Xiao Ge always want to say that Zhang Mou can read when he is young, and when he is older, he may not be able to become an instrument, right? ”
In fact, Yan Shifan mentioned Kong Rong at this time, not this intention, after all, Zhang Juzheng at this time has already become an instrument, and in the future, he has single-handedly created Daming ZTE. But since Zhang Juzheng had suppressed himself in this way, Yan Shifan was happy to accept it.
"Smart. If it is only a bad instrument, it is the blessing of Kong Rong, but I am afraid that the clever will be mistaken by the clever, and the disaster of killing will be invited. ”
This is the key point of Yan Shifan's attack - don't be too arrogant, don't be too capable, and be careful of the sad end of Kong Rong.
Take a look at Zhang Juzheng's counterattack:
"Kong Rong was killed by Cao Cao, but I don't know who cao Cao was in the Ming Dynasty."
Kong Rong, because of his harsh discussion of current politics and fierce rhetoric, provoked Cao Cao and was killed, but for thousands of years, Kong Rong fell into a good reputation for speaking bluntly, and Cao Cao became a negative example of not being able to take advice. Yan Shifan liked to pull everything at the Jiajing Emperor, and so did Zhang Juzheng's answer.
When you say that I am the second Kong Rong, do you mean that the current emperor is the second Cao Cao and will kill me?
Yan Shifan naturally did not dare to say that the Jiajing Emperor was the second Cao Cao, and quickly retorted:
"Since ancient times, it is not only Cao Cao who killed those who are smart!"
I didn't say that the Jiajing Emperor would kill you, let alone that the Jiajing Emperor was the second Cao Cao! You are such a self-made and intelligent person, not only the emperor is annoyed, but almost everyone is cursed!
To scold, Zhang Juzheng is obviously not an opponent, then go to the big side, use the sages to suppress it, this is the ability of "Qingliu" to eat.
"Tai Shi Gong has a saying, 'Man is inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hong Mao'. If he can sacrifice his life for the country, Zhang Mou will accept it calmly. ”
Hearing this sentence, Yan Shifan finally found the key point of the attack, that is, this sentence "for the country".
"You also dare to talk to me about serving the country!"
Similarly, to Hu Zongxian, Yan Shifan once gave such a statement - "The two capitals and thirteen provinces of Daming are all on my shoulders"; to Yan Song, Yan Shifan also boasted - "You always shield the emperor from the wind and rain, and your son can always shield you from the wind and rain."
Yan Shifan, where did he lose?
Defeat was defeated because he never gave himself a correct positioning, always thinking that the Jiajing Emperor would immediately collapse when he left him; he always thought that he was in control of the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty. Yan Shifan believed that he was desperately trying to collect wealth for the Jiajing Emperor, that is, he was loyal to his subjects; it was also reasonable for him to make a little money by the way; but the Jiajing Emperor wanted not only money, but also his own most lacking name. What's more, the Jiajing Emperor was originally a master who regarded money as his destiny, and Yan Shifan could fish a little, and if he fished more, he would find death.
When something happened to the imperial court, Yan Song thought about how to carry it on himself; while Yan Shifan thought about how to pull it on the Jiajing Emperor! This is the difference, and this is one of the important reasons for "falling strict, not pouring strict song".
Yan Shifan was withdrawn from the cabinet, yan Song was deprived of the right to "lead the cabinet to do practical things", and he did not let Yan Shifan understand whether this was the preparation for the Jiajing Emperor to "overthrow Yan" or whether he regarded himself as "shoulder to shoulder resistance to two capitals and thirteen provinces".
However, Yan Shifan's words to others are "like great traitors and loyalties", but if you say it to the "Qingliu Party", you are absolutely qualified.
"The treasury is empty, we are trying to make up for the deficit, but you are pulling out of the bottom of the salary, when have you thought about this country, and you have thought about my Ming Dynasty!"
Have you ever found that although the "Strict Party" is greedy, it has been doing practical things; the slogan of the "Qingliu Party" has been shouted loudly, but what real things have been done? This "Zhang prodigy" in front of him, corrupt for half a lifetime, but still has a world of fame, which may be the reason for yan Shifan's indignation in his heart.
It is true that the "Yan Dang" amassed wealth, but it is also true that it has been working hard to supply Hu Zongxian's anti-Japanese military supplies; it is true that the "Yan Dang" annexed land and exploited the people; but don't forget that Zhang Juzheng once planned to use the lives of the people of Zhejiang Province in order to overthrow the "Yan Dang"!
Yes, "Qingliu", when did you think about the people, when did you think about the Ming Dynasty? They are all fighting for their own interests, but the "Strict Party" is in power and the "Qingliu Party" is weak, and it is necessary to first overthrow the "Strict Party" and then become the second "Strict Party."
First, Yan Shifan's hat was too big, and Zhang Juzheng could not find a gap in rebuttal; second, Yan Shifan was right, and Zhang Juzheng's gang of "Qingliu" had indeed been obstructing the actions of the "Yan Party."
What if you scold and make the other party scold too much to refute?
Let him continue to scold, there will always be loopholes!
"I really want to hear how Xiao Ge Lao you made up for the deficit of the Ming Dynasty, and how we drew our salaries from the bottom of the pot." Please advise. ”
Yan Shifan continued:
"The Hubu Military Department and the Palace are waiting for money, and at the beginning of the year, you are also one who has reached out for money, and it is difficult to negotiate with Western merchants about the business of half a million silks, and you want to find two deadly ones to block!" Zhang Taiyue, touching his chest and thinking, using people as guns, just to overthrow us, those who study the mind of science and mind, where have you and your teachers learned! ”
Yan Shifan's sentence is indeed correct, the "Qingliu Party" desperately restrained itself, just to bring down the "Yan Party". Is it really for the sake of the people of Zhejiang, will there still be a statement of sacrificing the people of a province?
However, Yan Shifan made a fatal mistake, and he actually came up with specific cases to explain, and it was still a case that had already been formed into public opinion. At this point, Zhang Juzheng finally found a reason to refute it:
Elder Xiao Ge said this nonsense. Ma Ningyuan was cursed, and you recommended a Gao Hanwen to go. Chang Boxi Zhang Zhiliang was reprimanded, and King Yu recommended Hai Rui and Wang Yongji, both for the purpose of implementing national policies. ”
Zhang Juzheng's words remind me of Yan Shifan's complaint at the first imperial financial meeting- "Why the more you do, the more you will be punished." Zhejiang's "change of rice to mulberry" has always been the concrete implementation of the "Yan Party", and if something goes wrong, is it not that the members of the "Yan Party" have been killed, punished, and disposed of?
This is the skill of "Clear Stream" - if I don't do it, I will never make a mistake; if you want to do it, you will make a mistake, and I will impeach you to death!
Before recommending Hai Rui and Wang Yongji to go to Zhejiang, Yu Wang once had a classic saying - "What is the use of fighting for one or two counties", if it were not for Princess Yu's advice, how "Qingliu" would let the people of Zhejiang live or die, only God knows. Now that the national policy of "changing rice to mulberry" has been shelved, Zhang Juzheng can of course be justified and bold; but if the national policy of "changing rice to mulberry" is successful, the emptiness of the national treasury is filled, and the people of Zhejiang are pacified, what will Zhang Juzheng say?
You see, I will say that this national policy is feasible, otherwise, we would not have sent two Zhixian to support it!
Zhang Juzheng's rebuttal is not over:
"If you want to say that King Hai Rui was shot by us, then Gao Hanwen was recommended by Elder Xiao Ge, so why did he oppose your set of rice to mulberry?" And Hu Zongxian, the Southeast Pillar, the Cadre City of the State, and The Old Man Yan Ge, who opposed your strategy at the beginning, are they also the guns we used? ”
Gao Hanwen and Yan Shifan personally recommended; Hu Zongxian and Yan Song personally adjusted and pulled it; with these two obstructions to "changing rice to mulberry", Zhang Juzheng's confidence was even stronger, and the rebuttal was more energetic!
Now, it was Yan Shifan's turn to have no choice but to play a rogue.
"Good! The person I recommended is now arrested, and your recommender is still making waves there! Today, you have stunned Zhao Zhenji to go to Zhejiang and arrested Zheng Bichang and He Maocai, and you are not trying to restrain Hu Zongxian's elbow! ”
Elder Xiao Ge was really embarrassed to open his teeth, thinking that in the beginning, who forced Hu Zongxian to resign, and even helped write the resignation letter!
"Stir, stir, stir, stir!" Stirring up Hu Zongxian's front to fight without military supplies, eating defeat, stirring up chaos in the southeast, and destroying the Ming Dynasty, Lao Tzu is nothing more than to accompany you to die together! ”
Yan Shifan, only now did he understand the importance of Hu Zongxian to the "Yan Party", and with Hu Zongxian present, even if the Jiajing Emperor had the intention of "falling strict", he had to weigh it well; once Hu Zongxian fell, the Jiajing Emperor only needed to move his mouth if he wanted to kill Yan Shifan.
Dropping this sentence, Yan Shifan left indignantly, leaving Zhang Juzheng standing alone, not knowing whether Zhang Ju at this time was thinking: In the future, I will become Yan Song, will someone scold me like this? In the future, I will become Yan Song, who will keep my Hu Zongxian?
