Chapter 382 The Dark Fight
Yunshang went to court for days, but she was so calm. The crimson dress and thick makeup made people intuitively think that this woman's heart had undergone subtle changes. She was no longer willing to live a plain and insipid lifestyle. She was like a strong flame that had begun to burn. Anyone who approached her would burn half. Deadly burnt.
However, there are always some people who yearn for light and fire because they are in the dark. They approach her to absorb precious light and heat.
However, it ignores the danger that such light and heat are enough to kill them all.
After the chaos of the cabinet that day, Yunshang's belief was more strengthened. If she wanted to play steadily and walk safely in this court, at least... her strength alone was too weak.
Although Lian Zhun is there, Lian Zhun's recent performance... Isn't it too strange?
Can such a charming man be reliable? This is the problem that worries her the most at the time.
Except for this person, she is not unavailable.
In fact, the seemingly calm and carefree princess has a lot of private actions in the next few days.
For example, she quietly revoked several important officials. In addition, she paid more attention to Lu Jin. Compared with the yellow and white orange who is loyal to Feng Ziling, he, as Lu Shen's brother, is a good seedling.
How can she leave such a talent alone?
And Lu Jin was very busy with many errands suddenly sent by Feng Zifeng, and he had no time to talk about this matter with Yunshang. Yunshang is also happy and quiet. Anyway, some people are doing things, and some people are busy. Anyway... As long as the final goal is no different from her own imagination...
As for what the process is like in the middle, she doesn't care.
Yes, I don't care anymore.
Although she has experienced so many things, Yunshang's heart that wanted to go back still did not give up. On the contrary, that mood became more and more intense.
The life she wants is very different from the kind of life she lives now.
She just wants a safe place to live, with the people she likes, and the people who love her, the red mud small stove, and the green ant new wine.
And after that incident, Feng Ziqi didn't look for herself again. Yun Shang thought of this and closed her eyes secretly. It seemed that there were really a lot of problems.

Of course, such "control" is not really so strict that it can't be leaked at all. It is the most actively connected with the outside world in private. On the contrary, it is several cabinet members... It is very clear that in any case, the cabinet of the Dafeng Dynasty will always have to face a rewrite. Who loses and who wins will always make a statement, and such a statement Or it is the key to the rise and down of honor and disgrace in life.
As for the silent one in the palace, he was probably watching all this with his eyes wide open from a high place.
After that day, Wang Ying and Yunshang chose to continue to "work" with great tacit understanding. Fortunately, the five cabinet ministers have their own independent rooms in Fengtu Pavilion. Unless there is an important matter that requires several "meeting" decisions, Wang Ying and Yunshang still can't touch it. Occasionally, they meet twice, but they just arch their hands and greet each other with a smile. Neither Wang Ying nor Yunshang has thought of the word "reconciliation".
Now that things have been opened, there must be a winner.
It is said that Wang Ge Lao Wang Ying returns home every day. Then he locked himself in the study, and the pen was like the wind, sprinkled thousands of words, and wrote... a "secret disclosure" every day. "Secret disclosure" was originally a favor given to his ministers by the emperor of the Dafeng Dynasty, that is, the power to play secretly to the emperor directly without going through the foreign court. Nowadays, there are few ministers with such power in the Dafeng Dynasty. Except for the Yulin Guard, which has the "secret right" because of his position, that is, several people in the cabinet can do so.
In the past 20 years of Wang Ying's career as a cabinet minister, he has hardly written a secret revelation... However, now Wang Ying's secret disclosure is sealed with the seal of the imperial gift at a frequency of once a day. He swaggered straight into the inner hall... Often several other cabinet ministers bumped into each other, and saw the seal characters "Rope Entanglement" on it, which was very eye-catching.
Everyone can guess what is written in Wang Ying's secret. Naturally, it is Yunshang's "bad deeds" and "a lot of crimes". However, it is unexpected that Wang Ying has been prepared... Anyone can say a few things about Yunshang's treacherous tycophants over the years, but if they are really listed one by one, they can find those things that are either untenable, such as the heinous crimes that Lian Zhun said that day; or they are trivial, which makes people He despised and hated but couldn't grasp the handle... But what Wang Ying said after being forced that day showed that he absolutely didn't know nothing about Yunshang. It is even said that there are a lot of "iron evidence" attached to the continuous secret revelations these days.
Is it that Wang Ying, a good man who "does nothing for himself", pretends to be chaotic and inactive over the years? With this in mind, it is inevitable that the officials will feel a little cool in their backs. He hurriedly recalled whether he had something to hold in his hand, and inexplicably, he would also be revealed.
Yunshang's performance is the opposite of Wang Yingzheng. She was at the bottom of the cabinet and did not have the power to write secrets; and since the accident, Feng Zifeng avoided her, and she did not have the privilege of "free access to the palace". To ask for the opportunity to defend herself... What she has done is to constantly contact the minister, clearly, secretly, six, nine, her, avoiding her... It is very important to seek support, the most important of them. Naturally, it is the other three ministers.
Of these three people, Zhou Dashi has completely fallen to the opposite side of Yunshang after Wang Ge's old count of Yunshang's crimes; Yang Hongchoo met her at Daguan Bridge that night, and he was already half unclear to support her; only Zhang Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of Li, although he had some dealings with her, he was also Wang Gelao said that he was in collusion with her. But the attitude has always been very vague. It really took a lot of brains for Yunshang.
Fortunately, there is no need to worry now. Yun Shang fell back into the fragrant wooden sedan chair and closed his eyes slightly to refresh himself. She just came back from Zhang Yu's Shangshu Mansion. I spent a whole day there, didn't even eat, and I was not even in good spirits... but it was very rewarding. Thinking that Zhang Yu's original closed-door attitude and finally brought her out of the door with her hand without avoiding suspicion, she couldn't help laughing at the corners of her lips.
Of course, Zhang Qian did this not because he was confused by her "beauty". Although the rumors from outside will definitely spread like this.
Zhang Ge, a scholar of Tianzhangge University, was originally the top scholar of Xide in seven years, and was a true Qing school. He was also one of the few talented people who stayed behind by Lou Duo, Prime Minister Lou Duo. In his years when he was an official in the court, his official voice had always been very good, and he got along very well with the "corrupt officials" around him. However, later, the scholar of Zhou and Lou Duo fought fiercely. Zhang Qian sighed a little more in his home for a while. He was known by Lou Duo and was demoted out of the capital... By the fifteenth year of Xide, Feng Zifeng and Yun Shang plotted and quietly transferred him back to his position, and the official was reinstated... As soon as Feng Ziming returned to power in 16 years, he was immediately promoted to the Ministry of Officials and joined the cabinet.
Wang Geluo said that Yunshang was able to turn upside down on personnel issues because there was Zhang Qian behind her back to support her. This is also wrong, and it is also a little reliable to say that it is right: Yunshang could not get along with Zhang Qian's relationship, and she took the "lower" route in the official department; but the problem is that she can take such a route twice, so It has been unimpeded for a long time. It should be said that Zhang Qian, as a minister of the Ministry of Public Affairs, has no intention of letting go at all. No one can believe it, right?
Yunshang can almost understand the key points in this: the cultivation of officialdom for many years has made Zhang Geng's experience of exquisite and derogatory. It also made Zhang Qian know how to keep his time and wait for the opportunity. This time, there is a "fight" between Wang Ge and Yunshang. A smart person like him will naturally try to stay out of the matter, keep an eye on the wind direction and then turn the helm.
Today, Yunshang used all the strength of the dark camp to block the door, so that he did not have a chance to hesitate to stand on which side... There was only one choice: to support her.
At this moment, Zhang Qian, who is still rubbing his hands excitedly after a few streets, is also constantly sighing about the "fate" that he almost missed.
She came to the door with a plan for "anti-corruption and punishment".
Zhang Qian was also a student of Zhou University, the backbone of the Qing school. A while ago, the wind of "eliminating corruption" was naturally indispensable. Although he did not participate much in order to make a step back in front of the emperor, rectifying the official governance was indeed the official's job of the Ministry of officials, which also cost Zhang Qian a lot of brains. But until now, there was no systematic idea of the initiative... This made him immediately have a bright feeling after sweeping through the pile of things presented by Yunshang in a semi-coercive state.
Of course, most of the piles of things under the cup of Yunshang's heroic dry clouds, can also be said to be ninety-nine percent, are all "good materials" that she used as an excuse for Lu Jin to find for herself, which determines her current situation is embarrassing. In some places, it's better for her not to get involved.
The first part of Yunshang's plan is not surprising, but it is a slogan to "severely punish corrupt officials". However, her so-called severe punishment is different from what Zhou Daxun said to deal with it according to the law. She just said that she should "strictly pursue the dirty and escort it on all sides". At the same time, with the reward system, there are incorruptible officials. It is suggested that the emperor be raised to an official position and give a banquet and reward.
These measures are actually what Zhang Qian thought. Zhou Dashi has repeatedly emphasized "anti-corruption." According to the law, but today's law is too strict. There is a regulation of "kill those who accept bribes of more than a hundred or two", which is placed in the court of Dafeng Dynasty, where bribery has become a trend. It's almost a joke.
