Chapter 510: Willow Darkness Flowers Bright
But before Ma Dugong finished his words, Yao Changgong glanced at Ma Dugong with an extremely sharp gaze and said, "What are Ma Daotai willing to do?"
This was clearly said softly and charmingly, but it had a bit of gloomy taste. It was the authentic style of an in-house minister, which made Madugong shudder several times. He couldn't help but think of many legends about Dongchang referring to the deer as a horse, and quickly explained: "Yaochanggong, I am willing to join the grand ceremony and write to the various prefectures and counties in the East Prefecture to help Liu County Chief to provide relief to the victims."
As soon as he said that, Madugong had already regretted it.
He was originally planning to do it without any leakage, but in specific matters, he was preparing to not help each other and let Longkou fight with the Heng Palace to death. He just watched the fire from the sidelines.
But now he not only ended in person, but also had a serious position towards Liu Peng. At that time, he might not be able to explain to the Zheng family of Linqing, Heng Prince's Mansion and De Prince's Mansion.
On the surface, he just helped Liu Peng write to the prefectures and counties of Qinglai Prefectures and asked them to help Liu Peng provide relief to the victims, but in fact he was a representative of the sub-court road to put pressure on these prefectures and counties, so that they could provide all conveniences for Longkou's next military behavior as much as possible.
For Longkou, this is like a tiger's wings.
Before, Liu Peng sent troops to Laizhou and Qingzhou, which was entirely an underground war initiated by Liu Peng. Although this was a great act of good for the millions of people in Qingzhou, the specific actions were mainly maintained by Longkou and the relationship between gentry and officials who were close to Longkou. Therefore, not only did they not receive support from various prefectures and counties, but some of the two sides of the study were even more over-the-top, counties and counties would also interfere.
Although people are very helpful, whether they are officials of prefectures and counties, or gentry, people are all in line with Longkou and Liu Peng. Most of the time, they still help Longkou to get along with each other, but in the end it is not justified and there are many inconveniences.
As the sub-submission of Haiyoudao, Madugong has almost unlimited supervision power for the affairs of Qinglai Prefectures. As long as he writes to various prefectures and counties, not to mention the prefectures and counties that usually help Liu Peng to pull the sidelines, they can provide legitimate support to the Longkou Army, and even directly send people to support Longkou. Even those prefectures and counties that are relatively neutral and even turn to Hengwang Prefecture have to stand on Liu Peng's standpoint now.
But Yao Changgong still pressed his hand on the sword. He said bluntly: "Ma Daotai, you are a Taoist minister who is a patrolling the three eastern prefectures. Now the creatures in the three eastern prefectures are full of thousands of miles. You are divided into one Taoist minister. Is there nothing to do except to write to the prefectures and counties? Do you just want to sit back and watch millions of people die of cold and hunger? You are a Jinshi who is a close disciple of the emperor! The emperor has such high hopes for you, is it like this that you repay the emperor?"
Anyway, the meaning of Yao Chang’s dialect is "The emperor is good, but the ministers below do something bad", and Madugong suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
He didn't expect that he was willing to support Liu Peng with his documents to the prefectures and counties, but Yao Changgong was still unwilling to let him go. This was too tilted.
However, he remembered some legends that Zhaoyuan had heard before, saying that this Yao Changgong only recognized Liu Peng as a small county magistrate on the ground in Shandong. He did not give anyone other than Liu Peng. Even the governor, even if he came forward, he could not change his stern heart.
He remembered many legends about Yao Changgong and Eunuch Tian. Although these two eunuchs have not been active on the ground in Shandong in the past two years, Ma Dugong still remembers their stories and legends.
I don’t know how many evil deeds of destroying the family, how many lives were there, how many wealthy families were destroyed under their hands, how many people went to the provincial capital to accuse them of pretending to be wrong, but they all ended in vain. I don’t know how many officials in the places fell because they offended them.
When he thought of these legends full of blood and tears, Madugong felt that he should be smarter: "I don't know what Yao Changgong believes should do this?"
Mr. Yao also offered conditions for Liu Peng without hesitation: "Since the disaster in the three eastern prefectures is so serious, then the Taoist minister should travel west with the county magistrate Liu to help the victims, and use all means to help the hungry people in Qinglai!"
Although he was mentally prepared, Madugong was still shocked by the conditions disclosed by Yao Chang.
Although Yao Changgong only said, "Walking with Liu County Magistrate to help the victims", in fact, he had to take action against Liu Peng, a small county magistrate, to mobilize all resources from the prefectures and counties. No wonder everyone said that Liu Peng, the eldest son of Liu and Yao Changgong of Dongchang, were so good that they were almost wearing the same pair of pants.
This must be a breakup with the Heng Palace, the De Palace and the Zheng family in Linqing. Not only will it not become friends, but it will definitely become enemies!
Just as Ma Dugong thought of this, Yao Changgong had already begun to issue orders: "How can Ma Daochen sit and watch the lives of Qingzhou Prefecture be ruined? Wu Xingchen, you go and take over all the servants and soldiers brought by Daochen. This time, this time, he travels west to help the victims, they will definitely help Liu County Magistrate! "
Now Ma Dugong is almost crying. Yao Changgong, Yao Changgong, can you not be too domineering?
I can write to the prefectures and counties to help Liu Peng, or I can follow Liu Peng to fight against him as a small county magistrate while expeditioning the west. Why do you have to take over the servants and soldiers I brought now?
It was not a team that Madu Gong brought out by himself, but a variety of elite soldiers and generals borrowed by him begged his grandfather to sue him. Therefore, Madu Gong was afraid of losing something and could not explain it, so he never dared to fight with Liu Peng. However, although Madu Gong was reluctant to use it, Yao Changgong had no awareness and directly asked Wu Xingchen to take over the force of more than 200 people.
Liu Peng was also surprised to find Wu Xingchen's figure: "Brother Xingchen!"
He and Wu Xingchen grew up together in the same yard. Wu Xingchen deserves his credit and follows him for the longest time, so he sent Wu Xingchen to the capital to assist Yao Yulan. Now seeing Wu Xingchen's style remains the same, Liu Peng was really surprised and happy: "Brother Xingchen, they are all elite soldiers and generals under Ma Daochen. You have to explain the relief to Qingzhou Prefecture with them. As long as you explain the matter clearly, everything will be easy!"
Although these two hundred soldiers and soldiers were borrowed by Ma Daotai after a lot of hardships, people's hearts are full of flesh. Although these servants and soldiers are usually fierce and illegal, as long as the specific causes and consequences are explained clearly in Longkou, these soldiers will definitely be more emotionally towards Longkou.
Now Madu Gong is in an extremely embarrassing situation. If he had known that Zhaoyuan would have encountered such a situation, he would have stayed in the provincial capital and not left. However, there was never any regret in the world that he had never regretted the medicine to sell. Now he has been forced to a desperate situation by Yao Changgong.
Why are the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei so domineering? Why don’t they leave a way out for others?
But Ma Dugong thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that although he could not explain to the Linqing Zheng family in the future, and even wanted to become irreconcilable enemies with the Heng Mansion and the Linqing Zheng family who had helped him a lot, the matter seemed to be bad, because he was a Taoist minister!
What is a Taoist minister? A Taoist minister is a clear stream!
The Taoist minister has always been the easiest and most labor-saving thing. Everyone only hopes that the Taoist minister can turn a blind eye and never dig deeper. However, in this way, it will be difficult for the Taoist minister to produce achievements, achievements and reputation.
As a Qingliu, you can have no performance or achievements, but you must never have reputation. With reputation, you can naturally become famous and you can reach the top.
The reason why Li Sancai of this dynasty was able to "involve the court and the opposition" was that he had pushed the reputation of the Qing Dynasty to the limit on the Donglin Party. The leader of the Donglin Party even said that he "violated the taboos of the world without any danger, his achievements were enough to be a righteous man and a righteous man, and his wind was enough to be honest, stubborn, cowardly, and unparalleled." It was simply a reincarnation of a saint. It was unreasonable for such a person not to enter the cabinet or even become the chief minister.
But the reason why he was unable to enter the cabinet as the chief minister was not because of mixed praise and criticism. His political opponents directly said that he was "a great treacherous like loyalty, and a great treacherous like straightforwardness", and almost compared him to Wang Mang, and even listed him as he was heinous crimes of "ten greed" and "five treacherous".
Now the Heng Palace and Qingzhou Prefecture are a god-given opportunity for Ma Daotai to make his reputation. If he, a Taoist minister, could defeat the Heng Palace, and provide relief to millions of people in Qingzhou Prefecture, and then he would find someone to add a few heavy penalties, then Ma Dugong would be famous immediately. Everyone would know that he is a loyal and virtuous minister.
Moreover, now is the best opportunity to get closer to Emperor Wanli. The Yao Changgong in front of him is an insular minister who is appreciated by Emperor Wanli and favored by Concubine Zheng and King Fu.
The officialdom of the Wanli Dynasty was a pathological official society. In a normal court, whoever stood with the emperor would be able to rise to the top in one step, but the Wanli Dynasty was absolutely not possible. Whoever stood in the position of Emperor Wanli would soon become stinking the streets.
Those who truly enjoyed the reputation of the Qing Dynasty and even promoted step by step were those officials who had been severely punished by Emperor Wanli. If they could be beaten with a spear, they would be even more famous in the world. The reason why Zhong Yuzheng was the number one gentry in Qingzhou Prefecture was because he was demoted to the people by Emperor Wanli to fight for the foundation of the country, rather than the high position he had held.
And Concubine Zheng and His Highness Fu are in no way able to touch each other. Even if it is the most normal interaction and contact, Qingliu will be charged with "shaking the foundation of the country".
Anyway, the crime of "supering the king" and "shaking the foundation of the country" was accused of being a cabinet minister and a eunuch, and his reputation and future in this life would be destroyed. But on the other hand, if you want to climb up quickly, the relationship between Concubine Zheng and King Fu is the most convenient. However, as long as you get in touch with the relationship, you will naturally rise to the top.
