Chapter 237: My hands are all bastards
The emperor and the elders talked a lot for a while. By the way, this is a trick since ancient times. What are you eating today? How is your son's test scores... Then he turned to the topic, which seemed more humane. From a psychological perspective, it can also be considered a breakthrough in your mental defense.
In terms of power and strategy, Jiajing can probably rank among the top ten emperors of all dynasties, but Ge Lao Yan is not bad either!
The king and his ministers fought for a while, and then, Jiajing seemed unintentionally, said, "Gei, what if you don't build this palace for now?"
Yan Song was actually very old at this time, over 70 years old. The Master said that he would do whatever he wanted at 70 and not exceed the rules.
At this age, a fool is probably three points of wisdom. Moreover, a person who is already very smart has been practicing in the officialdom for many years and has just pulled down the prime minister in front of him and squeezed him up.
Perhaps, his urgent intelligence is insufficient and his memory is also declining, but when it comes to Tai Chi pushers, the seventy-year-old Ge Lao is really not afraid of the emperor.
Frowning, Yan Song said slowly: "Your Majesty is intelligent and kind, rare for all lords of all generations..." He flattered first, and then continued: "In theory, this money should be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue. After all, the year is not good..."
He said, and sighed again, "First Yangzhou was attacked by Japanese pirates, then the Japanese pirates in Hangzhou, and then the dragon of Dengzhou Prefecture turned over... I am afraid that those who are interested will use this to attack Your Majesty."
After all, Master Yan Ge was very cunning. With one sentence, he turned the topic to Jiajing's head.
Confucianism emphasizes the induction of heaven and man. Speaking of this, we must say why in the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that [red flowers, green leaves, white lotus roots, the three religions were originally one]...
Our national religion has always been Confucianism. Yes, the emperor can be called a god, but if the earthquake occurs, the emperor will come out to take the blame.
I said, why did the earthquake happen this year? You are the emperor and God’s son. It must be that you did something unethical. God is furious...
This set of things has been deeply rooted. If you say something unpleasant, he will not be able to reverse it even if the Master resurrects it.
Although Jiajing was amazing, Yan Song led the rhythm and his thinking was immediately disrupted.
Jiajing got angry for a while, and then complained to Yan Song, it was difficult for me!
As he was speaking, a eunuch wearing a python robe came in outside and said softly: "Your Majesty, it's time to practice."
Jiajing frowned, glanced at his companion Huang Jin, and asked, "Who is on duty today?"
"It's Xu Jie, the Minister of Rites."
Jiajing stood up. He is now in the Great Perfect Qi Refining. Once he advances to build the foundation, he will be considered to have achieved some real achievements in his cultivation (Note 1: I'm sarcastic, but I'm afraid that someone really can't see it.). Yan Song turned around and left, and nodded slightly when he looked at Huang Jin.
After leaving Yongshou Palace, Yan Song then raised his hand to wipe his sweat.
This matter seems to be a small matter, but in fact, it is a big matter.
Why do you say so?
In the Ming Dynasty, I was always wary of military power and never slacked off. Even in the late Ming Dynasty, the world was almost destroyed in a few years. At that time, some people worked at home. The first reaction of the court was not to encourage, not to give money and policies, but to send Jinyiwei [accused and brought it to Beijing]
Of course, we cannot think that this is the emperor’s fault just because of the three words "Embroidered Uniform Guard". It is not legal for the emperor to stamp the imperial edict without the civil servants. Can the emperor do things with just a mouth?
After all, civil officials refused to delegate power until they died. It was not like [My Qing Dynasty], and they relied on [self-organized group training] to successfully prolong their lives.
In short, this is a big deal, and Yan Song, who is 70 years old, has a headache.
He hurriedly called an eunuch. As a cabinet master, he worked in Yongshou Palace. How could he not bribe a few people as his confidants?
He ordered the eunuch to go to Yan's house to ask about his son's plan. Yan Song then brewed a pot of tea, took off the hat on his head, and gently rubbed the back of his neck.
...
About half an hour later, the eunuch came in sweating, "Gei, this is the handwritten book of the little Geei."
Yan Song took it and opened it to see that it was written by his son: Xu Jie, the Minister of Rites, angered Zhang Fujing and was demoted to Jianning Promotion Officer.
These words suddenly turned like a thunderbolt, and it flashed in the mind of Master Yan Ge.
Why do historical books say that Yan Donglou is a great talent in the world? Because this guy is really talented, he never forgets his quick wisdom when he sees it.
The short line of words immediately turned the blame on Xu Jie, the Minister of Rites.
When Jiajing confessed his past and accepted the new things and finished his practice, he felt that he had more confidence in building the foundation and was in a good mood. However, when Yan Song saw him, he messed up all his mood with just one sentence.
"Your Majesty, Xu Jie, the Minister of Rites, was demoted to the Jianning Prefecture Promotion Office in the seventh year of Jiajing because Confucius went to the king's title."
Jiajing's mood suddenly became bad.
This incident of Confucius going to the King's Name is about Zhang Cong and Zhang Fujing, the chief assistant of the cabinet in the early years of Jiajing. He wanted to go to the King's Name and reduce the scale of sacrifices. Zhang Cong was the pioneer of the Jiajing ceremony discussion. It is known in history as [At the end of Jiajing, people who speak with each other, but only Fu Jingyun]
Therefore, Jiajing suddenly remembered that Xu Jie, the Minister of Rites who had just practiced with him, had disobeyed him at the beginning.
Of course, it cannot be considered as disobeying him. However, if the cabinet chief minister wants to do things, he must play the emperor's signature. This is also the reason why the cabinet chief minister later called Comrade Zhang Juzheng, who was later, was awesome and said that he was [I am not a prime minister, but a photographer], because he did not rely on the little emperor. Of course, I won't talk about the things like this after all, that's unofficial history. Besides, the matter of scholars is called anecdotes. If it is a martial artist, it would be bad. Dong Zhuo, who sleeps in the dragon bed, doesn't need to say what reputation Dong Zhuo has.
In short, Zhang Cong did a lot of things under the banner of Jiajing, such as confiscating the imperial village, eliminating the Jinyiwei, etc.
Jiajing has always respected this prime minister very much. Although he did not have the title of "The Grand Tutor of Jin and the Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthumous Posthu
Therefore, Jiajing was in a very delicate mood at this time, just like eating an apple glutinous rice, biting it and chewing it for a few times, it was so sweet that it was so sweet that it was about to take a second bite, but found a wriggling fat maggot on it, and it seemed that it had been bitten off...
Yan Song lowered his head and refused to look at Jiajing's face. He continued, "Xu Jie was appointed as a prosecutor in Jianning Mansion and tried unjust prisons, released more than 300 innocent people who were wronged out of prison. He also established a social school, destroyed a lewd temple, and captured more than 100 bandits who had harmed the countryside. He was promoted to the Assistant Censor of Zhejiang and Fujian Censor of Fujian..."
Jiajing's expression remained unchanged, but his heart automatically thought:
As the procurator of Jianning Mansion, I will try the unjust prison? Humph, I'm afraid I'll put all the deaths under my command! Then I will push the Mu family out.
Founding a social school and destroying a lewd temple? Humph! Being foolish and buying people's hearts.
More than a hundred bandits were captured in the village? Are these people just trying to make things difficult for the Mu family? Therefore, they were denied the title of bandit?
Chapter completed!
