- The autumn of Taisho 41 was very uneventful.
It has been more than a year since Ding Ye left Kyoto for the East China Sea. Although he left, the turmoil in the court never stopped.
The fourth prince and the eighth prince were in tit-for-tat confrontation, and the other princes took advantage of every opportunity. Many courtiers each supported one prince, and many others were like grass on the wall, drifting in the wind. There are not many people in the DPRK who are actually doing things, but fights are common. This huge empire is like an old man entering his twilight years, finally showing his tired posture.
However, this time Emperor Taisho did not take action to stop the intensifying turmoil over the succession. It seemed that the disappearance of the thirteenth prince gave him a big blow. Since New Year's Eve in the 40th year of Taisho, he has indulged in drinking and sex, and rarely interferes in government affairs.
This country is like a big ship that has lost its captain. The first mate and the second mate are still teasing you to death. So the big ship moves along the current in an unknown direction. No one knows whether the front is a whirlpool or a rock or some other place. A wonderland.
In September of this year, the fourth prince suddenly attacked the Taibao Ding Tianning. Taking advantage of a flaw in an official document from the Ministry of War, he asked his dependent ministers to submit more than a dozen memorials, requesting the impeachment of the Minister of War and his ministers. He also alluded to Ding Tianning, hoping to shift all responsibilities to the only remaining third prince. .
Being suddenly attacked, the Ding family was not in chaos. Ding Tianning and Ding Rushan still went to court as usual every day, but everyone knew that this time the Fourth Prince was coming in a menacing manner and would never give up until he took the power of the Ministry of War into his hands.
In the lobby of the Ministry of War, Ding Tianning sat as steady as a mountain. On one side were the two generals Lin Shaoheng and Qiao Renxiong, and on the other side were several senior officials from the Ministry of War. Naturally, Ding Rushan was also present.
So many military leaders gathered together. Just to deal with the current mess.
After taking a sip of tea, Lin Shaoheng said calmly: "Master Taibao, this time the mistakes made by the Ministry of War do exist. And it is not just one or two days. The fourth prince has been prepared to make a fuss about this. I think you should think of a good response. The strategy is better."
That is to say, Lin Shaoheng dared to speak out like this, and Ding Ye was naturally involved in this. If it were anyone else, even if they had the same thoughts, they wouldn't be so straightforward.
Qiao Renxiong also sighed and said: "The fourth prince should be determined to take the military power this time. Brother Rushan, news came from the palace yesterday, and His Majesty is also paying attention to this matter. If you don't respond well, your future will be worrying. ah!"
"What kind of future do I have to consider now." Ding Rushan smiled bitterly, "This kind of mistake happened because of my lax control. I should bear the responsibility."
Qiao Renxiong sneered: "Isn't it just that the reply from the Ministry of War was stamped in advance? This kind of thing has happened in the past, and it didn't start with you."
"That's different. As long as no one is held accountable for many things, everyone can turn a blind eye. But once someone is targeted, there will be no defense!" Ding Tianning said, "It is true that the Ministry of War's reply was stamped in advance. It has been done for a long time. It is also to save time and improve efficiency. But this matter is not in accordance with the rules. Since something happens, the chief officer can only bear the responsibility"
Hearing what Ding Tianning said, both Lin Shaoheng and Qiao Renxiong frowned slightly. They seemed to sense the Ding family's unwillingness to confront others head-on.
Lin Shaoheng and Qiao Renxiong represent a neutral force in the military. He is not biased towards either the fourth prince or the eighth prince. But they have a bottom line, that is, two princes can fight, but they cannot extend their hands into the army.
This time, the fourth prince stretched his hand too far, which obviously touched the interests of the military. Naturally, they were very unhappy. Therefore, Lin Xi and Qiao Xi stood by the Ding family without hesitation, hoping to use the Ding family's tough attitude to fight back against the fourth prince.
But what they never expected was that Ding Tianning actually wanted to sacrifice Ding Rushan to settle the matter. This was far beyond their expectations.
"Taobao!" Lin Shaoheng changed his color slightly, "There is still room for mediation in this matter!"
"I have made up my mind." Ding Tianning showed a hint of fatigue, "Since I took the position of Taibao, the Ding family has not had a day of peace. If possible, I would rather give up the position of Taibao, as long as it exchanges for the peace of the Ding family."
This old man joined the army as a boy, became famous as a young man, and became a pillar of the country in his middle age. He has been known for his wisdom and calmness for decades, but today he is showing signs of fatigue. This look fell in the eyes of Lin Shaoheng and Qiao Renxiong, and their hearts felt cold.
"Brother Rushan?" Qiao Renxiong looked at Ding Rushan.
Ding Rushan also nodded slowly and said: "This is what I think too. Having served the country for so many years, I am really tired now. I want to take this opportunity to relieve myself of the responsibilities on my shoulders. It would be good to become a rich man in the future."
"You" Lin ShaohengHe was speechless, and many of his prepared remarks could not be uttered.
"What about Ding Ye?" Qiao Renxiong suddenly asked.
"Ding Ye is still young and has his own way to go. After the two of us retreat, no one will make it too difficult for him. Don't forget, Ding Ye is His Majesty's son-in-law. No matter who wants to touch him, he must think clearly. "Ding Rushan smiled and said, "By the way, the princess just added a big fat boy to our Ding family a while ago. After resigning this time, I will go to Donghai to see my grandson whom I have never met!"
Seeing Ding Rushan¡¯s heartfelt smile, Lin Shaoheng and Qiao Renxiong looked at each other and knew that the plan to use the Ding family to fight against the fourth prince was shattered.
Leaving the Ministry of War, the two generals looked a little ugly. Halfway through, Lin Shaoheng suddenly said: "General Qiao, are we getting old?"
Qiao Renxiong said with some regret: "It's not that I'm old, it's that I can't compare to the shamelessness of some people. I feel a little chilled when I think of the country's heroes being forced to such an extent"
"Forget itif this kind of thing happens to me, I might as well go home and retire." Lin Shaoheng showed a wry smile, which was helpless from the bottom of his heart.
And in the lobby of the Ministry of War, after everyone else left and only the Ding family and his son were left, Ding Tianning looked at Ding Rushan and said, "Are you willing?"
"There is nothing to be unwilling to do. There is no point in holding this kind of official position. Today's imperial court is full of chaos and chaos. I really don't want to stay any longer." Ding Rushan sighed.
"That's finethen let's retreat together. I'll also go to the East China Sea to see my great-grandson!" Ding Tianning said with relief.
Two senior officials of the Ding family resigned within one day, causing an uproar in the Canglong Dynasty.
Ding Rushan is fine. He takes responsibility for the mistakes made by the Ministry of War. Even if he doesn't resign, he will be punished.
"But Ding Tianning's resignation is intriguing. Although the fourth prince is also targeting him, as long as he is properly brokered, there will be a turning point. Ding Tianning, however, preferred not to resist and simply resigned from his position as Taibao.
Emperor Taisho¡¯s reaction was also very strange. He directly approved their resignations without even a courtesy request to stay.
From this day on, none of the three princes of the Taisho Dynasty were left alive. The Ministry of War, which the Ding family had controlled for more than ten years, finally fell into the hands of the Fourth Prince and his party, which completely fulfilled his wish.
This turmoil came suddenly and went away quickly, ending with the Ding family sadly withdrawing from the political stage. But what no one knows is that this is just a warm-up for a big show, and the real performance has just begun!
An anonymous letter was placed on Ouyang Guomou's desk, and his face turned ashen.
In recent years, more and more things have bothered him, such as the disappearance of Eunuch Ling, the inexplicable disappearance of the Thirteenth Prince, and the heavy anonymous letter in his hand.
The letter was very simple, with only a few words on it, but the several thick booklets that came with the anonymous letter were of great significance.
There are densely packed names and numbers in each booklet, which looks like a certain merchant's account book, but Ouyang Guomou knows that this is not the case.
Because the names on the book are either rich or noble, they are either officials of important departments in the court or feudal officials of various provinces, or they are elite officers in the military and famous rich people in the country. There are many numbers behind these people's names, and each number represents a sum of money.
Ouyang Guomou knew that this was the money they provided to the fourth prince Ming Yinglun. With this money, Ming Yinglun could gather a group of loyal subordinates, be able to control the situation in Kyoto, and compete with the Eighth Prince.
It¡¯s just that Ming Yinglun has always been very secretive, and this information is absolutely confidential, so how could it be delivered to him.
Ouyang Guomou suddenly thought of a person. He knew that this person also had an intelligence system, which was not inferior to that of factory guards.
Thinking about it, it seems that there is only one person who can collect so much detailed information and has a reason to go against the Fourth Prince!
"No wonder the Ding family gave up so happily. It turns out they still have this back-up plan." Ouyang Guomou sighed, "This is really a hot potato!"
There was a sound of footsteps, and someone walked in. It was Ouyang Fang, the godson of Ouyang Guomou. He held a small bowl in his hand and said, "Godfather, you've stayed up too late recently, so I asked someone to make a bowl of bird's nest for you to replenish your health."
Ouyang Guomou smiled bitterly and said, "It's too late to eat, so you can follow me into the palace now."
"What happened? Even if the sky falls, we still have to eat." Ouyang Fang didn't know why.
Ouyang Guomou's face became more serious than ever before, and he said word by word: "This timeThe sky is really falling! "
Just as Ouyang Guomou said, when the anonymous letter and all the evidence were sent to the Tower of Light, half of the Canglong Dynasty almost collapsed!
With the thunderous wrath of the Taisho Emperor, the four princes were imprisoned in the clan mansion, and all the people named on the book were taken to the factory guard for interrogation. The huge prison cell of the factory guard was filled with people for the first time, and he had to borrow many prison cells from Dali Temple.
This was just the beginning of the turmoil. As each prisoner confessed, more and more people were involved. Even the eighth prince was invited to "drink tea" by the factory guard.
Amid this panic, Admiral Hua Ying of Dongchang knocked on the door of the Ding family! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
