Chapter 2723 Gui Zi Juan No Sleep (3)
Compared to the relative peace on Guan Yingzhen and Gu Bingqian's side, it seemed more intense on Qiao Yingjia's side.
"What Ziying did was against the rules. He should understand Ru Jun's mood, and he should fully support Ru Jun, but now..." Sun Juxiang's face was stern, and every word came out from between his teeth, looking very rude and even a bit sharp. A revealing posture.
However, Cui Jingrong leaned back slightly and responded with the same rudeness: "Bofu, what you said makes no sense. Didn't Ziying fully support Ru Jun? Except for himself, not to mention Jun Yu and Chu Cai. , didn’t Pan Ruzhen and Fu Shi also vote for Rujun? But how far behind is it? It’s only seventeen votes, still four votes short. This is not because Ziying doesn’t support it. If he really doesn’t support it, what do Pan Ruzhen and Fu Shi have to do with us? Friendship, why should I vote for Ru Jun?"
Sun Juxiang was suffocated, but then retorted: "But Ziying also voted for Liuji and Dongxian among the five votes. This is just a few people's behavior of trying to please others and riding on the wall!"
"Bofu, Ziying has long said that his few votes will not change the overall situation. Liuji in this cabinet attaches great importance to him, and many people also supported him beforehand. Dongxian is his mentor, and it is impossible for him not to do something. "This just shows that Ziying is a person who values love and justice..." Wang Yongguang explained patiently: "In fact, we have all seen that the addition of Ziying's five votes did not change the results of Liuji and Dongxian. "
Wang Yongguang's words were true, and Han Xu, Sun Juxiang and others were silent.
It was Sun Dingxiang who added with regret: "In the final analysis, the people in Huguang are shallow-sighted and unwilling to support Ru Jun. If the three people from Southwest Lingnan are willing to vote for Ru Jun, Ru Jun will not have no chance, and Cao Yu Bian…"
Sun Dingxiang didn’t say any more, there was no point in saying it.
There is a deep estrangement between Qiao Yingjia and Cao Yubian, and they never thought they could persuade Cao Yubian to vote for Qiao Yingjia.
"Those people in Huguang would rather support Liuji than Rujun." Cui Jingrong said calmly: "The rift between Rujun and Dongxian is very deep. Isn't it true that Yang Lian and Rujun are also incompatible in the Metropolitan Procuratorate? ?”
“But Ziying stole the show, and everyone is optimistic about him?” Sun Ding asked instead: “There must be something wrong here.”
Cui Jingrong glanced at Sun Dingxiang: "Ziying has always been close to the Huguang scholars. Chai Ke, Yang He, and Guo Zhengyu have all worked together with Ziying. Ningxia's suppression of the rebellion is a life-and-death friendship. Guo Zhengyu and Jing Hui (Bi Zihui) Yan) followed Ziying to run the stock exchange in Yangzhou. These friendships were all real. When Dongxian was hopeless, why was it wrong for people to support Ziying? Not to mention the southwest Lingnan scholars supporting Ziying, we People like Jiangnan and even Huguang have never paid attention to me. Why can't they take this opportunity to retaliate? I remember that when we promoted the Guangdong Navy as the first batch of pilot projects for replacing firearms, Ziying and the Ministry of War proposed it, but no one else in the cabinet agreed. Do you have any objections?"
Qiao Yingjia, who had been silent all this time, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth twice.
When this proposal came out, he was firmly opposed to it. He originally thought that the Navy was of no great use. Even if it was to change its equipment, he would first consider Denglai before talking about Fujian. As for the Guangdong Navy, it was dispensable. Who would have thought that it would also be affected? Of course, the attitude of Lingnan scholars towards themselves is not entirely the same.
Ever since the meeting, he had been confused and groggy. He was troubled by various emotions such as shock, regret, disappointment, and depression. He could not figure out how Feng Ziying could get more than half of the votes, and still be He exceeded the majority by several votes, but he actually only got seventeen votes, one vote less than Gu Bingqian.
He expected to lose to Gu Bingqian. After all, the Jiangnan scholar group was there, and the Southwest and Lingnan scholars might also be pulled over. He even thought it was acceptable for Guan Yingzhen to win, but Ziying was the only one who showed up. When a dark horse wins, it really breaks his defense.
But why didn’t my group realize it before?
"Is it still interesting to talk about this now?" Wang Yongguang became impatient and said directly to Qiao Yingjia: "Rujun, let's see what you mean now. We can't keep the chaotic situation like this. Ziying becomes the chief assistant, and we in the North How do the scholars respond? To say that he is also a member of the northern scholars, not to mention Jun Yu and Chu Cai, Zhisheng, Jinqing, and Jing Hui also have clear attitudes now, and even Ziliang (Cao Yubian) has a clear-cut stance Support Ziying, if we old guys don’t make our stance clear, what will the outside world think of us?”
Is this trying to force a baby?
Qiao Yingjia couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
Cui Jingrong, Wang Yongguang, Lian Guoshi, and Yuan Keli were all scholars from Henan, Sun Chengzong was a scholar from Beizhi, Geng Ruqi, Bi Ziyan, and Feng Ziying were fellow townsmen, scholars from Shandong, and one of the Shanxi scholars was Cao Yu, who had a bad relationship with him. Bian supports Feng Ziying.
And the leaders of the Shanxi scholars, Han Xu, Sun Juxiang, and Sun Dingxiang, are now looking at themselves.
But Qiao Yingjia also knew that among the younger generation of Shanxi scholars, Zheng Chongjian and Sun Chuanting had a very close relationship with Feng Ziying, and Chen Qiyu was also very close to Feng Ziying.
Now if I say that I don't support Feng Ziying, won't I become the main culprit for everyone's betrayal and alienation? Is that okay?
In a daze, Qiao Yingjia remembered the weak young man who had talked and begged him in front of him more than ten years ago to persuade Li Sancai to send troops to Linqing to quell the civil uprising. In the blink of an eye, he had suppressed him and became the youngest leader of the Zhou Dynasty. Assistant, and also replaced himself as the leader of the northern scholars. This contrast is too big.
Perhaps I am really old.
Qiao Yingjia looked at his old friends who were still arguing, and suddenly felt peaceful in his heart.
There have been talented people from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years. This seems to be Ziying’s poem, right?
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and the young are better than the blue. Ziying has always been recommended to Qi Yongtai and Guan Yingzhen. No one can deny this. In this case, if you lose, you will lose, so why should you worry about this point in front of you? What about the face you can’t let go of?
Can this situation be reversed if you don't admit defeat?
"Okay, everyone, don't argue. I have decided to go back to my hometown and write a book. I will have a good talk with Ziying about this matter. After all, he is a scholar from the North, and I will leave this responsibility to him. He seems to be a bit premature, and some people may worry that he is trying to force the seedlings to grow, but I think it is just right. Ziying has Ziying's thoughts, and I also believe that he can do better if he takes on this responsibility. As long as we work together support him."
Qiao Yingjia stood with his hands behind his hands. For a moment, the night wind passed through the hall, fluttering his long gown, making him look so lonely and proud.
