Chapter 300 Seizing
(Thank you for the pile of monthly tickets of brothers who are not hungry, yuhaitao1983, Huaisha 15 and so on.) Chapter 3100
It's not that Song Nan doesn't want to come to see her off. Although she has no choice but to fall and is the most ecstasy when she leaves, after all, she has met each other. Although she is predestined, she is not so angry that she doesn't want to see this last time.
The actual situation is that when Song Nan brought several flag schools in the government gate and was about to go out, he was blocked by the government gate by his sudden husband. Zhang Mao never came to the Jinyi guard government gate. This time, he took the initiative to come to the door, which can be regarded as the sun hitting the west.
"What brought my husband here? You didn't say hello in advance. Please come and see the tea." Song Nan hurried down and immediately greeted him.
My husband's uniform must have come from the governor's office. He waved his hand and walked to the government office. As he walked, he asked, "Are you going to enter the palace?"
Song Nan said, "No, I'm going out of the city to say goodbye to a friend."
My husband said, "Don't go. I have something important to tell you."
Song Nan also knew that since her husband came to the Jinyiwei government for the first time, she had to order several flag schools to escort Dai Suer's car outside the south gate, and turned around and sat in the hall to talk to her husband.
"Your movement has been a lot recently." My husband blew the tea and took a faint sip.
Song Nan wondered that her husband should not come here to rectify the brocade and guard government. Is there any rumor?
"It's nothing. It's just to clean up the atmosphere of the government and clean up a bunch of unbearable waste. The movement is really louder." Song Nan smiled.
Zhang Mao nodded and said, "I'm not here to mind your own business. It's understandable for you to do so. You can do whatever you want, as long as the emperor doesn't object."
Song Nan nodded and asked, "The old man said that there are important things. I don't know what the important things are?"
Zhang Mao glanced at the hall and waved his hand, "What are so many people doing here? Tell them all to go down."
Song Nan quickly waved his hand to avoid the guards and several subordinate officials in the hall. Then Zhang Mao said, "You are immersed in your own government affairs, but you don't care about things outside at all."
Song Nan was stunned and said, "What's going on outside?"
Zhang Mao was dissatisfied and said, "You are also the head of the Jinyiwei government. Your third-grade government is on an equal footing with the six foreign court. You don't care about the affairs in the court at all?"
Song Nan became more and more puzzled: "Old man, what's going on?"
Zhang Mao stared at Song Nan and said, "Do you know that the court is drawing up the candidates for the three-sided general system?"
Song Nan said, "I know, but I can't get involved in this matter. Should I go up and insert a bar for the cabinet and the military department to draw up a candidate for the chief system officer? Isn't it gossip?"
Zhang Mao said, "Do you know who the candidate is?"
Song Nan said, "I still know this. I heard that the candidate proposed by the cabinet university scholars is Lu Wan, the right servant of the governor's military department of Xuanfu, and the foreign court seems to agree with this proposal."
Zhang Mao said, "I don't know what you are doing these days. Lu Wanzhi's proposal has already been rejected by the emperor. The emperor proposed to let Ma Ang, the general soldier of Yansui, take this position."
Song Nan said, "Yan Sui's general soldier Ma Ang? I don't know, but as the official of the three-sided general system, Ma Ang is also suitable in Yansui. What's the problem?
Zhang Mao scolded, "You don't even know this Ma Ang. How dare you say that this person is suitable? Besides, the emperor has never seen this Ma Ang. Why did he suddenly propose this person? Do you know who this Ma An is?
Song Nan saw that Zhang Mao was a little excited and said puzzledly, "Sir, forgive me for being stupid. The recommendation and appointment of these three chief officials have nothing to do with us. Why does the old man care so much about this matter? Teach me that whoever you love, we don't have to get involved.
Zhang Mao sneered and said, "I know that you are pretending to be smart. This matter has a lot to do with you and the British government. On that day, I proposed to set up a three-sided general system at the court meeting because you mentioned the disadvantages of the poor coordination between soldiers and horses in the border town. It can be said that this matter was caused by you. The middle court officer originally had the right to restrain the soldiers of the border town. Once the three-sided chief system was established, the inner court's fingers were cut off. Liu Jin not only hated you, but also the old man. Last time I was a big media for you, I took the opportunity to turn against your country's government. It can be seen that Liu Jin is one stone and two birds. Taking advantage of that incident to provoke you and me at the same time, the sinisterness of his heart can be seen.
Song Nan said, "You mean that the reestablishment of the three-sided chief system has touched the interests of the inner court? However..." Song Nan frowned and suddenly stopped talking. He got up and took two steps.
Zhang Mao looked at Song Nan and said, "Do you understand?"
Song Nan raised her eyebrows and turned around and whispered, "The proposal put forward by the Cabinet and the Ministry of War to appoint Lu Wan for this position must have been rejected by Liu Jin. Ma Ang's proposal may also be Liu Jin's intention. That is to say, Ma Ang is Liu Jin's person. Does Liu Jin want to compete with the foreign court for the important position of the three-sided chief system officer? This move is quite ruthless. Since the power of the officers in the three-sided town is damaged, he will take the position of chief of the three-sided general. If he succeeds, won't we help him a lot?
Zhang Mao snorted, "Finally, you are not too stupid. You finally understand this truth."
Song Nan frowned and said, "Who the hell is this Ma Ang?"
Zhang Mao said, "You come to ask me who he is. You are the leader of Jinyiwei. In short, this person was demoted. Later, he was promoted to the general soldier of Yansui for some reason. I have never asked about the appointment and removal of the border army, but I don't know much about it. But it must be Liu Jin's people."
Song Nan said, "I still have one thing that I don't know. Sir, we can all analyze the reason. It is impossible for the Cabinet and the Ministry of War to not understand the interests, and they will certainly not agree with Ma Ang's appointment as the three-sided general system. With all due respect, why did the old man suddenly pay so much attention to these disputes in the court?"
Zhang Mao said angrily, "Do you think so? It's not because of you."
Song Nan was stunned and said, "Why is it because of me again?"
Zhang Mao whispered, "You have made a marriage contract with Xian'er, which is a complete ambition for you, but for me, I have torn my old face with Duke Ding. Originally, it was agreed with the Duke of Ding to marry Xian'er to his son Xu Yande. Later, you, the bastard, hooked that son, and it was out of control. I had to tear up the marriage contract with Duke Ding. Xu Guangzuo, do you think it's easy to mess with? He threw the cup in front of me, and my decades of friendship with him were over. Is it none of your business?
Song Nan apologized and said, "I'm sorry, but this seems to have nothing to do with this matter."
"You know nothing. When Xu Guangzuo wanted to match you and the princess, I felt something was wrong. Liu Jin is nothing. Why did he come forward to ask Grandpa Xu to be a matchmaker? I felt that there was something strange about this; originally, we and Xi should not have made a statement on the selection of the three-sided general system, but Xu Guangzuo, Hui Anbo Zhang Wei, Xinningbo Tan You and others have violated the routine and opposed Lu Wan's appointment to the position of the three-sided general system. From this, it can be seen that these old people must have reached a tacit understanding with Liu Jin. Liu Jin's inner court exerted their efforts, and they echoed outside. In this case, how can the foreign court compete?
Song Nan took a cold breath and said, "You mean, Xunqi's family is not a piece of iron? Xu Guangzuo and others actually threw themselves to Liu Jin?
Zhang Mao said, "I'm afraid it won't be enough to throw it to Liu Jin. Xu Guangzuo should not do so. I think that they will unite to get what they need. It is no secret that you disagree with Liu Jin. Now that you are the son-in-law of our government, Xu Guangzuo and I have torn our face again. Obviously, Xu Guangzuo and Liu Jin have the same common goal, and it is reasonable to walk together. However, the foreign court is now in decline. If Liu Jin gets hands on such an important appointment, the foreign court will inevitably become a chicken rib. Many civil servants have already invested in Liu Jin's account. If he do this again, Liu Jin can cover the sky with one hand.
Without Zhang Mao's explanation, Song Nan also understands the seriousness of the problem. Liu Jin's power has already penetrated into the foreign court. Jiao Fang, a cabinet scholar, Gu Zuo, who is also a minister of the Ministry of officials and the Ministry of Household, is also Liu Jin's person. The civilian group has already been torn apart, and it has been reluctant to deal with Liu Jin. Coupled with the secret support of some nobles in Beijing, Liu Jin can cover the sky with one hand, which is very bad.
It can be imagine that Liu Jin will never tolerate his existence when he dominates power. Even if he has the support of Zhengde, once Liu Jin launches a group of minions to attack and bombard people, Zhengde may be difficult to distinguish right from right from wrong to protect himself. Thinking of this, the cold sweat on Song Nan's back came down.
"Sir, I understand. It seems that we can't stay out of the matter. This time, we can't let Liu Jin succeed, otherwise it will not be far from destruction. The wall riders in the inner court are watching this competition for the three-sided general system candidates. If Liu Jin succeeds, a large number of people will be thrown into Liu Jin's account."
"As long as you understand, this is the reason why I came to you in person. Do you have any countermeasures?"
Song Nan thought carefully and said slowly, "Sir, most of the people in Beijing are the first to see you. You have to stand up at this time and don't let Xu Guangzuo jump too much; I will also take active actions on my side. We should not stand up and oppose this matter directly. I think the foreign court must be more anxious than us. Let's let them take the lead, and we can secretly support it later. Well... It seems that I have to visit the bachelors of the cabinet, counting on them to come to me. I'm afraid they would rather lose their officials and go home than lose their face.
Zhang Mao smiled and said, "You are wrong. There are people in the cabinet who are much smarter than you think. Yesterday, someone handed a post to see me. It was inconvenient for me to see him, so I pushed it to tonight. You can come to my house to participate in the meeting in the evening."
Song Nan was surprised and said, "Oh? Who is so far-sighted?"
Zhang Mao said, "Yang Tinghe, this person is not simple."
Song Nan nodded and Zhang Mao got up and said, "I went back to the government and talked in the evening. Remember, you have to think about this matter carefully. Since we are going to take action, we can't return there without success. I haven't done anything wrong."
Song Nan got up and bowed and saluted, "Old man, go well. I will be there in the evening."
Zhang Mao nodded and strode out. His entourage pulled over the horse. Zhang Mao jumped on the horse. He was as strong as a teenager and galloped away with people.
