Part One: The Storm in Penghu Chapter 143 The Fight in the Court

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After introducing the situation in Quanzhou one by one, Ye Yuan was very grateful.

    The information I got from Ding Yunyi saved me a lot of unnecessary trouble.

    However, Ding Yunyi's real purpose was not all here. He suddenly changed the topic and said: "Brother-in-law, Penghu suffered a series of fierce battles. First, Hitachi Gongbaota, then Oniohmaru, and finally Liu Xiang. The number of soldiers suffered heavy losses and they are in urgent need of replacement.  "

    Ye Yuan was a civil servant and did not know this. He only regarded it as three fierce battles, and naturally suffered great losses: "Of course, Xiang Wen helped the court solve problems and fought countless bloody battles. The court must not forget it. The number of soldiers is small, and they can recruit again. Penghu  If it¡¯s not enough, you can go to Quanzhou and other places to convene.¡±

    Speaking of this, seeing a smile on Ding Yunyi's face, he suddenly realized.

    Quanzhou is Zheng Zhilong¡¯s territory, where can outsiders easily get their hands on it?

    The frowning person thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "There is a way. Xiang Wen, you can wait here with peace of mind. After I officially take office, it will be three to five months at most, one or two months at least, and I will definitely give you a gift."  A group of people come here, you just have to choose among them.¡±

    What Ding Yunyi wanted was his words. Although he didn't know what method Ye Yuan was going to use, seeing that he was so sure, he thought he was confident.

    According to Ye Yuan¡¯s character, these things cannot be done in vain, and there are still many things that will rely on him in the future.  Ding Yunyi's mind turned quickly and he said: "There is one more thing. I am planning to set up a shipbuilding workshop in Penghu. I don't need Fujian to take out a few cents of silver. I will raise all the expenses myself. Once this happens, our Penghu fleet can be repaired.  Secondly, foreign ships can also be repaired and replenished here, and I can earn some money to supplement my expenses. If my brother-in-law is willing, Yun Yi will be included in the plan. "

    Ye Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this. This was really a piece of pie in the sky.

    ¡° If a shipyard like this wants to build its own ships, it will have to spend a lot of money and effort, but if it is just repairs and supplies, it will be much easier.

    How many ships pass through Penghu in a year?  Setting up a transit place here would be very profitable.  What Ding Yunyi meant was that he didn't need to pay a tael of money himself, but he would definitely not be short of himself when the dividends were distributed every year.

    ¡° Before I officially took office, I had such an opportunity to make money. The more I saw my brother-in-law, the more I liked him. I just felt that making friends with him was the most proud thing.  At that moment, he kept saying politely: "How can this happen? How can this happen? Although Xiang Wen has good intentions, I still have to pay for the money. I am short of money at the moment, but I will definitely make up for it in the future."

    "Brother-in-law, we are all family members, why should we be so polite?" Ding Yunyi said with a smile.

    Ye Yuan thought for a moment: "Since Xiang Wen said this, I am shameless. If Xiang Wen needs any help in the future, he only needs to send someone a letter."

    The two were polite to each other for a while. When it was time to eat, Ding Yunyi asked Duan Saner to prepare the meal.

    Yunyi was tired of eating the diced fish on the dinner table. Ye Yuan had been in the capital for a long time, and it was rare to eat such fresh fish, so he was full of praise for the food.

    Ding Yunyi was amused when he heard this. There will be times in the future when you will frown when you see a fish.

    Putting down his chopsticks, Ye Yuan suddenly said mysteriously: "Xiang Wen, you and I are our own people, and it doesn't matter if I tell you some things. When I left the capital this time, I heard some things. I am afraid that Wen Tiren, the chief minister of the cabinet,  Something is going to happen."

    Ding Yunyi was startled, isn't it?  Judging by time, Wen Tiren can still be the chief minister of the cabinet for a few more years. What can happen now?

    Ye Yuan sneered a few times: "Zhou Yanru was kind to Wen Tiren back then. Wen Tiren relied on Zhou Yanru to enter the cabinet. He relied on Zhou Yanru's authority to constantly exclude dissidents and gradually consolidate his position in the cabinet. Later, the two finally fell out.  In the spring of the fifth year, Li Jiucheng, the governor of Shandong, rebelled, captured Dengzhou, and imprisoned the governor Sun Yuanhua. The imperial court sent Liu Yulie, the Minister of War, to lead an army to conquer, but they returned without success. Many people inside and outside the court thought that the prime minister was unworthy of him and blamed Zhou Yanru for his dirty deeds.  This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Wen Tiren. He stirred up trouble and instigated his party members to impeach Zhou Yanru for his improper appointment, which caused Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Shandong whom he recommended, to lose the city of Dengzhou.  The guilt is not light.¡±

    Ding Yunyi nodded slightly, and Ye Yuan continued: "But Zhou Yanru has won the trust of the emperor. Even with such accusations, Zhou Yanru's position is still unshakable. Later, Wang Kun, the eunuch of the Xuanfu, followed Wen Tiren's will and slandered the 'Emperor Xi' fabricated by Zhou Yanru  The emperor said this nonsense. In fact, the inventor of this sentence was Wang Kun himself, not Zhou Yanru. The emperor saw that the problem was related to him, so he asked Zhou Yanru for questioning.  It's hard to argue, and Wen Tiren also exposed?He accepted bribes from the leader of the giant thief god, and some of his followers lost power one after another.  Zhou Yanru was in a desperate situation and had to retreat bravely.  In the name of illness, he resigned and returned home.  In this way, Wen Tiren naturally became the chief minister of the cabinet.  "

    "Where is Wen Tiren now?" Ding Yunyi asked.

    Ye Yuan looked outside at first, and then lowered his voice: "He is not a good person. After he became the chief minister of the cabinet, he was obsessed with rejecting dissidents and attacking political opponents. He felt that he had made too many enemies, and he might incur serious consequences.  Others took revenge. In order not to leave any evidence for others, all the documents he submitted to the emperor and the relevant documents drawn up by the cabinet were not stored in the archives. During his tenure, countless people tried to impeach him.  Instead of overthrowing Wen Tiren, some of these people were dismissed from office, some were exiled, and some were even beaten to death on the spot."

    At this point, he sneered again and again: "Wen Tiren is vicious and vicious. He will never let go of anyone who has offended him. Wang Cheng'en once said in front of the emperor several times that Wen Tiren is not useful and has too many enemies. He cannot be the head of the cabinet.  How could he not be jealous when these words reached Wen Tiren's ears? But Wang Chengen was more trusted by the emperor than him, so he couldn't be moved. But according to his character, how could he let it go? "

    "What can he do to Wang Chengen?" Ding Yunyi said nonchalantly.

    Who would have thought that Ye Yuan¡¯s words would surprise Ding Yunyi: ¡°I heard that the incident of ¡®Tingyu Tower¡¯ in Hangzhou is related to Wen Tiren.¡±

    "What? I'm afraid this is impossible, right?" Ding Yunyi was shocked and said in disbelief.

    No matter how much Wen Tiren hated Wang Chengen, he would not send an assassin to kill Wang Chengen.  Once this matter is exposed, it will be the crime of being executed.

    Based on Wen Tiren¡¯s character, how could he do such a risky and foolish thing?
