Chapter 2440

Fang Yun's banquet not only disturbed the situation in Xiangzhou, but even destabilized the capital of Jingguo.

During the day, everything was the same. At night, carriages covered tightly passed through the capital.

Countless carriages are parked in front of the doors of many places, such as the five aristocratic families of Jingguo, the Jiang house of Wenxiang Jiang Hechuan, the Li house of Li Wenying, the new general of Jingguo, the Chen house of Grand Marshal Chen Zhixu, and the Cao house of Youxiang Cao De'an.

Since the resignation of Zuo xiangliushan, the position of Zuo Xiangshan in Jingguo has been shelved.

At the beginning, people thought it was Cao De'an, the right minister, who replaced him, or Fang Yun went straight to the position of left minister, but after Fang Yun resigned, the position of left minister has been pending.

Since last year, a rumor has spread in the capital that the Empress Dowager wants to abolish the position of Zuo Xiang and let Jing Jun, who has grown up as a young man, take charge of the original duties of Zuo Xiang.

After this rumor appeared, even some officials of the so-called royalist party suddenly wrote to ask Jing Jun to quickly appoint a new left prime minister, so as not to be detrimental to the country.

But so far, the position of Zuo Xiang has not been determined.

Many officials suspected that the rumor was deliberately spread by the Imperial Palace so that all officials could be prepared. The royal family of Jingguo was iron and wanted to abolish the position of Zuo Xiang and avoid the new Zuo Xiang's power dumping the government and the public and suppressing the imperial power like Liushan.

This move of the royal family of Jingguo aroused the dissatisfaction of all officials, so that the royal family could not officially announce the abolition of Zuo Xiang. As long as Jingjun was less than 16 a day, all officials could prevent Jingjun from being in power.

As long as king Jing can't govern, no matter what means the Empress Dowager has, she can't really control all officials.

In the eyes of scholars, any country is allowed to have a left phase, but it is absolutely not allowed to have a powerful empress Lu, nor is it allowed to have a Qin emperor and Han Wu who can play with all officials in applause.

Shengyuan continent is the world of scholars, and the imperial court should also be the imperial court of scholars.

This is the consensus of scholars.

Scholars will not abolish imperial power, but they will not allow imperial power to enslave scholars.

At this time, Fang Yun announced a banquet for Xiangzhou officials, releasing a strong and clear signal, which is almost adding fuel to the fire and igniting the possible dispute between Jingguo and chaotang at any time.

There are many factions of officials in Jingguo. After the fall of the Zuo Xiang party, not counting the military power, the largest political forces in the capital are the royal family, the Chen Sheng family, the other four and a half Saint families, the Wenxiang Jiang Hechuan first department, the Youxiang Cao De'an first department, the Fangyun first department, and finally the Li Wenying first department. The strength of the rest forces is limited. As for the leftist party officials, most of them were uprooted, and only a few lurked.

In Xiangzhou and Mizhou, the party has absolute control, and even in Jiangzhou, there are some party members.

However, in Beijing, the party's strength is extremely weak, because most of the party's people have made their fortune in recent years and have not had enough time to rise from local to Beijing, and Fang Yun has no long experience in politics in Beijing and is unable to cultivate his own strength.

Even if there are square parties in the capital, they have been promoted from local governments in recent years, mostly officials under the fourth grade.

In each state, five or even six products have a certain voice, but in the capital, except for a few key departments, the real power of five officials is very limited.

Officials in the capital often ridicule themselves. What three grades walk all over the ground like a dog, what house collapses and stuns five people, four five grades, and finally from five grades.

The most important departments in the capital are almost controlled by the royal family and people of all families. Even the Jiang Hechuan department can only install their own people in Jingguo school palace and ritual department. As for the right Minister Cao De'an, he can only control half of the household, because he inherited the political heritage of his division.

Although Li Wenying is not good at party struggle, he has excellent strength and has fellow villagers, classmates and colleagues. Over the years, he has become a school of his own and has good relations with all parties.

Fang Yun has excellent relations with various factions, but Fang party is different.

In Beijing, the party has been excluded.

This is not determined by anyone's will, but by party interests.

Because if we look not only at the capital, but throughout the country, the power of the party is no longer under the royal family.

Jingguo has capital city, Xiangzhou, Jiangzhou, Dongyun state, Mizhou and Yanzhou. The fangdang monopolizes Xiangzhou and Mizhou. In addition, it transports and recovers the north. Within a few years, the new North State will inevitably take shape, and there must be the second Mizhou.

This means that in a few years, the party will be in charge of the three states.

Fangdang banjingguo!

It is precisely because the party's strength is too strong, the traditional forces in the capital have exhausted all means to crowd out the party, so that party officials can not occupy the central position.

Even some officials who clearly belong to other factions but have had close contacts with Fang Yun have been excluded.

For example, Sai Zhixue, the Minister of rites, such as Cai he, a student of Wen Xiang Jiang Hechuan, and Cai county magistrate, such as Zhang poyue, such as Yu Xingshu and Chen Xibi, former governors of Jiangzhou, such as Ding Haosheng, general of Beimang.

Like Cai he, because he has a dual identity, Wen Xiang Jiang Hechuan's students and Fang Yun's friends have made great progress. They serve as the right waiter of the Ministry of rites with the body of four grades. Originally, they will be promoted from the third grade for up to one year, while the general right waiter of the Ministry of rites is served by the third grade or from the third grade.

But just after Fang Yun entered the burial Valley, he was transferred to the water transport department as the right director.

The position of the water transport yamen is far inferior to that of the Ministry of rites, but it is a department with great power. The right division of the water transport department is the fourth grade official position, which is flat on the surface, but actually relegated.

Just three months ago, Cai he was transferred to Hanlin academy again.

The Imperial Academy of the holy academy is quite different from those of other countries. With the changes of the times, the power of the Imperial Academy of Jingguo has been gradually taken away by the cabinet. Now the Imperial Academy is mainly responsible for classics and banquets, writing literature and history, and has no real power.

Therefore, there are only two kinds of officials in the Imperial Academy. One is gilded by the Imperial Academy and ready to be promoted at any time. The other is providing for the elderly. I don't know how long it will take to get promoted. Some Zuo Xiangdang officials who have a good official voice and have a relationship with the aristocratic family are now working in the Imperial Academy.

Not only Cai he, but also Zhang poyue, all the others are facing the same dilemma, high position but no power, wide name but no benefits.

The rest were forced to retreat in the face of exclusion, except Zhang poyue.

Because officials who want to crowd out Zhang poyue will always have some accidents. Either the toilet collapses when they go to the toilet and the whole person falls into the cesspit, or they are rushed into the door by dozens of flower building women just after they go home, or they accidentally eat poisons and vomit and diarrhea, or they are covered with sacks outside the power of the holy temple, and they can't find the murderer.

The first hob meat in Jingguo and the first clean street tiger in chaotang are Zhang poyue's new nicknames this year.

Therefore, after returning to the capital from Beidi, Zhang poyue's small life became more and more moist. He even married two concubines. It seems that he likes to live happily in the capital.

Originally, the capital struggled in various ways and was in a relatively balanced state, but Fang Yun's banquet broke the calm.

Everyone who goes to Jiang's house is waiting, because Jiang Hechuan is not in Jiang's house.

Jiang Hechuan was summoned to the palace overnight by an urgent edict.

It was not until midnight that many of Jiang Hechuan's old friends were tired. Jiang Hechuan entered from the main gate and looked tired.

All the officials got up and asked in a low voice, "Xiangye, why did you enter the palace late at night?"

"The Empress Dowager... Wants to promote me to Zuo Xiang."

The officials were surprised that the royal family was using Jiang Hechuan's hand to deal with Fang Yun.
