It is naturally no secret why Yang Shangying was able to replace Lu Bo, who had made great achievements in the past, as the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang.

It's just that obedience and greed are often two things that follow him like a shadow, Yang Shangying is certainly loyal to the person who promoted him, but those who are in the position by hugging his thigh often have selfish desires.

In fact, Yang Shangying sought the official position of the general army of Zhejiang, but did not want to serve the country loyally, but extended a greedy hand to the military salary, which was exposed by the local imperial history.

It is said that Yang Shangying paid the price of being dismissed by the imperial court, and the cabinet also agreed to the plan of the Ministry of War, so the matter has come to an end.

However, the natural forest operator has made things have new variables.

Lin Haoran took advantage of Yang Shangying's greed for ink, clearly pointing a sword at Zhao Bingran, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang, in essence, he wanted to take this opportunity to seek the post of governor of Zhejiang.

The officials present were naturally shrewd people who could climb to this position, but even if they saw through Lin Haoran's real intentions, they had to serve the scheming of this left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

Even Xu Jie, who was sitting quietly on the side, raised his head and glanced at Lin Haoran deeply after guessing Lin Haoran's intentions.

Although he was very unwilling, he had to admit that this junior had a terrifying strategy. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was too young, he was really worried that his first assistant's throne would be snatched away by the other party.

For Lin Haoran to cut Zhao Bingran's post as governor of Zhejiang, everyone does not think it is excessive.

If it weren't for Yang Bo's insistence on suppressing Hu Zongxian's remnants and replacing Lu Bo with Yang Shangying, who had no outstanding achievements and was greedy, Lin Haoran would not have been given a chance.

"Although Zhao Bingran did not greed for ink, Yang Shangying was unaware of his greed for ink and military salaries, and this official thought that he should indeed be removed from his post as governor of Zhejiang and focus on military affairs!" Ma Sen, the left attendant of the household department, who was sitting next to Lin Haoran, responded.

Qian Bangyan, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, was a person from Suzhou Prefecture, but he followed up and said: "This official agrees with Lin Shilang and Ma Shilang's opinion, Zhao Bingran should be removed from the post of governor of Zhejiang, and another fair official should be selected to take the position!" ”

The three influential squires spoke together, just asking Zhao Bingran to hand over the title of governor of Zhejiang, which was already imperative. After all, the weight of any of them is far better than Zhao Bingran, and the reasons they come up with are very sufficient.

Yang Bo's face was gloomy, not only angry at Lin Haoran for shaking out Yang Shangying, but also angry at Lin Haoran for seeking the governor of Zhejiang, and even more dissatisfied with Lin Haoran being so aggressive, and immediately pointed the finger at Lin Haoran and said: "Lin Shilang, you really made a wishful calculation!" You are so party and dissent, and then do you want to promote your fellow countryman Zhang Wei, the old man sees that you clearly want to cause chaos in the government! ”

Troubled the government, these four words were very high-pitched, which made the atmosphere in the hall immediately condense.

Although it has long been a fact that all factions support their friends, it is clear that they want to tear their faces directly with Lin Haoran when they say it so openly in person. In particular, the accusation of "causing chaos in the government and government" is even more to grudge against others.

Lin Haoran's hand in his sleeve clenched into a fist, although he knew that Yang Bo was arrogant, but he didn't expect the other party to reach this level, so he planned to argue with Yang Bo.

It was at this time that what people never expected was that Lei Li suddenly spoke: "Yang Shangshu, when you just recommended your fellow villager and son and daughter-in-law Wang Chonggu to be the governor of Ningxia, why didn't you say that you had caused trouble in the government?" ”

Syllable!

This was like a loud ear, and it was thrown heavily on Yang Bo's face.

If it comes to party similarity and cronyism, Yang Bo can be said to be the first person in the dynasty. Wang Chonggu, whom he just recommended, is not only a fellow villager in Puzhou, Shanxi, but also Wang Chonggu's daughter married Yang Bo's second son Yang Junqing, and she is resolutely a pair of sons and daughters.

Because Yang Bo's status is transcendent, Wang Chonggu can be regarded as having enough qualifications and status, and everyone has no intention of breaking this relationship. But Yang Bo only allowed the state officials to set fires and did not allow the people to light the lamps, accusing Lin Haoran of nepotism, but he didn't know that he was ruthlessly commanded by the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Lei Li.

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere was immediately silent, and the officials watched the development of the situation with bated breath.

After the fall of Yan Song, Lei Li, the most senior secretary of the Ministry of Industry, benefited from his achievements such as presiding over the rebuilding of the three major halls, and was quite capable in supervising the construction of the project, so that his position as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry was very stable.

However, in order to avoid Xu Jie's blow, he also took the initiative to withdraw from the disputes in the court, wandering away from the court like an outsider. Like his qualifications, he should have sat in the first place today, but when he was snatched away by Yang Bo, he chose to sit behind Yang Bo reluctantly.

It's just that no one thought that Lei Li suddenly opened his mouth at this juncture, and the spearhead was directly aimed at this invincible military secretary Yang Bo. It's just that I don't know if he wants to intervene in the party struggle, or if he just can't get used to Yang Bo's arrogance, so he takes this opportunity to disgust Yang Bo.

Xu Jie's eyes narrowed slightly, but he looked up at Lei Li, and his eyes showed a bit of vigilance.

Yuan Wei had been sitting quietly next to Xu Jie, and at this time, he also put down the tea cup in his hand and raised his head to look at Lei Li.

Yang Bo turned his head to look at Lei Li next to him in astonishment, and immediately argued violently: "Lei Shangshu, what do you mean by this?" Wang Chonggu's qualifications and abilities are enough to be the governor of Ningxia, and the old man is a virtuous man who does not avoid relatives this time, and is a virtuous man for the country! ”

"If Wang Chonggu was really a virtuous person, he would not have been released from Beijing in the past in the middle and lower grades!" Lei Li didn't do anything, and immediately questioned.

Yang Bo's face sank like water, and he naturally wouldn't be afraid of this Ministry of Industry Shangshu who lived with his tail between his legs, but he asked-for-tat: "Lei Shangshu, if you really want to turn over the old accounts from decades ago, then the old man will ask you: In the past, you were just a small local magistrate, but you don't know why you can worship Shangshu?" ”

Lei Li was a jinshi in the eleventh year of Jiajing, ranked the 208th, and was first awarded the promotion of Xinghua Mansion. Because of hugging the thighs of Yan Song's father and son, a fellow villager in Jiangxi, he was able to return to the ministry to serve, and then ascended to the high position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

When the officials heard Yang Bo shake out this past incident, they couldn't help but stare at each other, and said in their hearts: This Yang Weiyue is really no one in his eyes, and he actually reveals people's scars like this.

In fact, Yang Bo's words are unfair, Lei Li hugged Yan Song's thigh in the past, but he is a talented person like Wu Zongxian. After the fall of Yan Song, Lei Li was still able to sit firmly in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, which shows that he is not an opportunistic official.

Lei Li was very upset about this, and his face looked very ugly, even when he argued.

It was at this moment that Xu Jie, who was sitting on the top, stopped in a deep voice: "Okay, both of you should shut up!" ”

Hearing Xu Jie's voice, Yang Bo and Lei Li looked at Xu Jie.

Although Xu Jie's current status and prestige are not as good as Yan Song back then, they are enough to deter the two of them.

When the officials saw Xu Jie's voice, they knew that this excitement was coming to an end, so they looked at Xu Jie.

Lin Haoran found that Yang Bo was looking at him with bad intentions, but his eyes did not dodge, but calmly met the other party. Yang Bo is favored, but this is based on Daming's choice of defensive military strategy, and his golden body is not unbreakable.

Xu Jie is not a good old man, and at this time, he also raised the majesty of the first assistant and said in a deep voice: "There is no one here to disrupt the government, no one has a corpse and a vegetarian meal, and no one is in a bad position. We are gathered here today, not for quarrels, but to discuss here, and to elect capable ministers to govern a good place for the Ming Dynasty! ”

"What Motosuke-sama said is extremely true!" Lei Li's attitude was correct, and he bowed respectfully to Xu Jie.

Yang Bo's face was still not good-looking, but he didn't choose to say anything, so it was naturally impossible to oppose Xu Jie. His power is mainly in the military department, but in the current court, there are still many places to rely on Xu Jie.

Xu Jie saw the reaction of the two in his eyes, and then looked at everyone and made a decision and said: "If everyone has no opinion, then according to what Lin Shilang said, remove Zhao Bingran from the post of governor of Zhejiang!" ”

Zhao Bingran is Guo Pu's person, and now he has a close relationship with Yang Bo, and everyone's eyes are on Yang Bo. It's just that Yang Bo was just tired of eating, and the other party's reasons were sufficient, so he could only face each other coldly.

Yan Ne, Li Chunfang and others exchanged glances, and they also expressed their agreement.

When Xu Jie saw everyone's reaction, he immediately said: "Then according to what Lin Shilang said, remove Zhao Shanran from the post of governor of Zhejiang, and appoint another governor of Zhejiang!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at Lin Haoran, this thing was really done for him.

Xu Jie naturally didn't take a small governor of Zhejiang to heart, turned his head to look at Lin Haoran and asked directly: "Lin Shilang, I don't know if you have a candidate?" ”

Everyone looked at Lin Haoran, but they didn't know if Lin Haoran would avoid suspicion.

"Since Yang Shangshu said that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, then the lower officials elected Zhang Weike, the right minister of the General Political Department, to take on this position!" Lin Haoran glanced at Yang Bo, and then he was promoted.

Although he would have liked to have a sharper official serve as the governor of the Nine Sides, stability and prosperity in the southeast were equally important. As long as the results of the opening of the sea in the southeast are kept, the finances of the Ming Dynasty can be guaranteed, so that they have the capital to levy the answer.

When everyone heard that it was really Zhang Wei, they couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

Just now, they were still wondering why Zhang Wei "ran away", and the daring lover had already made a plan. If there is no "escape" just now, then you will be temporarily disqualified from running for election now, so as to give others a head start.

Xu Jie is also a cheerful person, and said lightly to Wu Shan: "Wu Shangshu, then the court will push the governor of Zhejiang again!" ”

Now that the personnel are here, directly carrying out the court push will undoubtedly reduce a lot of trouble.

"Lord Motosuke, according to the rules of postponement, at least two candidates must be candidates for official before they can vote!" Wu Shan, the secretary of the ministry, frowned, looking serious.

When the officials heard this, they also nodded.

Xu Jie sighed lightly, but made a decision: "Then let Xu Yi participate in this candidacy!" ”

Hearing these words, many people immediately cheered up. But I don't know if Xu Jie's launch of Xu Yi wants to compete for the governor of Zhejiang, or just let Xu Yi accompany him, they are already observing Xu Jie's next behavior.

Although the Ming Dynasty has a north and south volume, the northern scholars can also enter the government smoothly. However, in terms of quantity and quality, the southern scholars were already better than the northern scholars, and this differentiation was slowly reflected in the court officials.

The two cabinets, the six Shangshu and the twelve squires, except for Yang Bo, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, are almost all officials from the south. The reason why Gao Gong was able to enter the Yuwang Mansion to give lectures was because Jiajing took precautions and deliberately supported an official from the north.

The south is strong and the north is weak, which is particularly obvious in Tingtui.

Wu Shan, as the leader of Qingliu, and Lin Haoran represented the future of the Ming Dynasty, but he quietly influenced the officials present.

When Xu Jie did not give any further hints, many officials did not vote for Xu Yi, resulting in Xu Yi getting two votes again, a genuine escort.

The second court push is over, and this meeting is considered to have come to an end.

Xu Jie wrote down the chapter on the spot and asked a palace official to send the results of the court push to Jiajing for approval.

Although the court push is a minister's decision, it also requires the consent of the emperor, and the emperor has the right to reject or select one person from several lists, and still has a lot of influence.

If you meet a wise emperor, the result of the court push is often the final end, but the emperor who is stubborn and self-serving like Jiajing may have variables in many cases.

However, Jiajing's energy was limited after all, and he used a typical power technique of grasping the big and letting go of the small, mainly grasping the personnel power of the cabinet and several important ministers such as Shangshu, but the personnel power of the local governor was willing to be handed over to the officials to push it.

In fact, Xu Jie's recital was sent to Wanshou Palace, and two ordained decrees were issued in the afternoon.

Wang Chonggu, the right-hand political envoy of Henan, was promoted to the governor of Ningxia, and the right senator of the General Administration Department was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, and the situation of the court underwent subtle changes.

Although Yang Bo pushed his son and daughter-in-law Wang Chonggu to the position of governor of Ningxia, Lin Hao also pushed his fellow villager and the same year to the fate of the governor of Zhejiang, which can be said to be equal.

The next morning, the sun was shining.

Yang Bo came to the Shoufu duty room, but he said straight to the point: "Lord Yuanfu, Lei Li and Wu Shan are probably in collusion, we have to guard against it!" ”

After a night of meditation, he felt a deep threat. He had already coveted the Ministry of Labor, but he had always thought that behind Lin Haoran was only Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, but he didn't expect Lei Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, to jump out.

If Wu Shan and Lei Li join forces, plus a Lin Haoran with an unlimited future, he is not the opponent of the other party at all. The military department is about to be infiltrated by the other party.

It is precisely like this, he needs to win over Xu Jie, and Xu Jie will come forward to disintegrate this force, and it is best to kick Lei Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, out of the court.

Xu Jie was planning to play a vote, how could he not know Yang Bo's intentions, but he said lightly: "Yang Shangshu, they are all people favored by the emperor, don't you think that the old man can remove them from their posts?" ”

Not to mention Wu Shan's status and prestige, Lei Li was able to sit firmly in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry after the fall of Yan Song, which was naturally the emperor's favor. Following the military is inseparable from Yang Bo, the supervision of the project is also inseparable from Lei Li.

If there is no sufficient evidence of the crime, it is impossible for Xu Jie to get rid of these two people.

"I don't believe that Lei Lidu has built so many projects, his hands will be clean!" Yang Bo's target was Lei Li, and he immediately said firmly.

Xu Jie's heart moved slightly, but he raised his head and said, "If you don't believe it, then you can investigate!" ”

"Good! Lord Motosuke, then you are waiting for good news! Yang Bo wanted this answer, but he immediately turned around and left.

Xu Jiemu watched Yang Bo leave, and his eyes flashed with a touch of melancholy.

Lin Haoran's growth exceeded his expectations, and the other party did not rush to seek a higher position, but chose to cultivate party henchmen, but he felt even more uneasy than Wu Shan.
