Chapter 221: Joining Forces Again
The inexplicable court push, the confused court push results, after the news spread, most of the officials did not know why, but they all knew what they understood.
Some people are envious that the young man of Songjiang has not officially entered the official career, and he is already Jane in the emperor's heart.
Some people are laughing secretly, the young man of Songjiang has not yet entered the capital, and he has already provoked many enemies.
In fact, the latter cannot be said to be wrong, but it cannot be said to be right.
After all, Qian Yuan is too young, and the abilities and connections he shows are too eye-catching, and he has countless possibilities.
Those who know him often pay close attention to Qian Yuan's first shot, three years ago in Hangzhou, taking advantage of the situation to avenge his father and brother, Jin Hong and Zhang Siwei's miserable fate is there.
Many people have a similar judgment about Qian Yuan, this is a talented person who must be repaid at the same time.
This night, in the capital, the lights in the study rooms of some mansions were on until late at night.
Among them, there is Xu Jie.
Staring at the flickering candlelight for a long time, the sudden beating candle flower woke Xu Jie from his contemplation, followed by a long sigh.
The tenacity of this short old man is incomparable to ordinary people, the young man has ambition, and the name of Tanhua spreads all over the world, but then he lost his father, then his mother, and then his wife, and was kicked out of the Hanlin Academy to Yanping Mansion, Fujian.
But now, he is the second assistant of the cabinet, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and a prince of Taibao, which can be called under one person and above ten thousand.
was able to climb from a pusher to his current position, Xu Jie believes that there are two important turning points.
First, after being demoted out of Beijing, Xu Jie made an accurate judgment and climbed the thick leg of Xinxue, and then lectured in Lingji Palace with Ouyang De, Cheng Wende and others, and officially became the face of Xinxue.
Second, Xu Jie's successive promotions began from a promoter, but what made him complete a qualitative change in one fell swoop was that he entered the Zhan Mansion to wash horses and lecture at the Hanlin Academy.
It was this promotion that allowed Xu Jie to return to the embrace of the Hanlin Academy, which made it possible to enter the cabinet.
Therefore, the indomitable Xu Jie was a little sad tonight, and when he met an emperor like Emperor Jiajing, who was difficult to serve and had strange thoughts, he really didn't cultivate in his previous life.
Today's court push, theoretically qualified to be recommended is nothing more than four people, the cabinet Yan Song, Xu Jie, Lu Ben, and Yang Bo, the secretary of the military department.
Lu Ben and Yang Bo didn't want to wade into this troubled water, Zhao Wenhua, who recommended Hu Zongxian, was Yan Song's godson, and Li Mo, who should have been silent, was expected by Xu Jie, but he didn't expect him to recommend Cao Bangfu, the governor of Yingtian.
You must know that Li Mo had a relationship with Xu Jie, during which he mentioned the same year of Xu Jie, the second year of Jiajing, and Wang Hao, the servant of the household department in Nanjing.
It's a deal that doesn't go on the table.
When Emperor Jiajing asked if there were other recommendations, Xu Jie tried to recommend Wang Hao for a while, but quickly calmed down.
He quickly figured out that Li Mo was the latest flag launched by Emperor Jiajing.
The reason is very simple, Xu Jie thinks that the most important turning point is to re-enter the Hanlin Academy.
And just a few days ago, Emperor Jiajing ordered Li Mo to concurrently serve as a bachelor of Hanlin.
Although Emperor Jiajing didn't pay attention to the rules, there were some rules that he didn't dare to break casually.
At that time, Zhang Xuan and Xia Yan both entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister with the central purpose, but they were not from Hanlin, so Emperor Jiajing ordered them to concurrently serve as Hanlin Bachelors, for example, Xia Yan was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the head of the Hanlin Bachelor, and he entered the cabinet a month later.
More than a month ago, Li Mo was already on duty in Zhilu, although he had not yet entered the cabinet, but he was actually exercising some of the duties and rights of the cabinet elders, because now only Yan Song's father and son are qualified to vote in the cabinet, Xu Jie and Lu Ben are only for the emperor's consultation, and Li Mo has the same treatment when he comes to Zhilu to be on duty.
In other words, today's Li Mo has the prerequisite qualifications to enter the cabinet after concurrently serving as a bachelor of Hanlin.
It is unlikely that the official department will directly enter the cabinet, but there are many workarounds, as long as Li Mo is transferred to the household department and the Ministry of Rites, he can be immediately pulled into the cabinet by Emperor Jiajing.
Xu Jie picked up a book at random and flipped through it, wondering in his heart whether the old rival Yan Song had a tacit understanding with him this time.
In the past few years, whenever His Majesty consulted, Yan Song and Xu Jie would recommend different candidates, but this time, Xu Jie gave up.
"Sir."
The housekeeper knocked on the door and whispered in Xu Jie's ear, "There is a return gift." ”
Xu Jie's eyebrows raised and nodded slightly, and the housekeeper put the charcoal basin closer, added hot tea and went out.
Dropping the book, Xu Jie smiled bitterly, he and Yan Fenyi had been fighting for all these years, but he didn't expect to join forces twice in a row in just two years.
After today's court push, Xu Jie's legs and stomach were trembling, and he didn't dare to imagine what Li Mo would look like after entering the cabinet.
You must know that Xu Jie is a second-year jinshi of Jiajing, and Li Mo is a sixteen-year jinshi of Zhengde.
Xu Jiejiajing served as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites for twenty-eight years, but at that time Li Mo was already the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
From the perspective of qualifications, Xu Jie is not as good as Li Mo, and from the perspective of fame, it cannot be compared, Li Mo has been facing Yan Song for more than a year, and Xu Jie has shrunk his head and been a turtle for many years.
Xu Jie knew very well that if he could cross Lu Ben when he entered the cabinet, then Li Mo could also pass him...... In this regard, Emperor Jiajing did not pay attention to the rules.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Xu Jie, just maybe!
After all these years, it was hard to survive until Yan Song was old and faint, how could Xu Jie accept others to pick peaches.
The titular teacher Nie Bao was driven back to his hometown by him, not to mention Li Mo!
Therefore, Xu Jie did not recommend it today, and reached a tacit understanding with Yan Song.
In comparison, Xu Jie could not tolerate Li Mo, and Yan Song was even more so.
Li Mo ascended the throne, Xu Jie's position was only threatened, and Yan Song was only afraid that he would not be able to protect his old age, it was Yan Song who drove Li Mo home back then, with Li Mo's temperament, Yan Song would end up very miserable.
"Crunch."
The door was pushed open, and Xu Fan looked over to see that no one else had come in the study.
"Father, it is said that the Qian family will enter Beijing tomorrow." Xu Fan asked in a low voice.
Xu Jie's eyes shone brightly, and he reprimanded: "It has nothing to do with you." ”
"Yes, yes, but today's Tingtui, Hu Zongxian and Cao Bangfu ......" Xu Fan said with a smile: "No matter who he chooses, he will offend the other." ”
Today's court push, Emperor Jiajing did not express his position in the end, only said that he would discuss it in three days, and the implication was to see Qian Yuan first.
No matter what role Qian Yuan can play, after three days, the results will come out, and he will offend at least one.
Is it Yan Song, who leans towards the government and the opposition, or Li Mo, who is determined to forge ahead?
Xu Fan saw that his father fell into deep thought again, and muttered: "It is said that the Qian family, Zhao Wenhua and Hu Zongxian have a good relationship, and it is ...... to be rebellious."
Interrupted by his son, Xu Jie waved his hand and said, "This matter is outside, don't make a noise." ”
"Everyone knows ......" Xu Fan muttered again before nodding again and again, "Father, you ......"
Xu Jie sighed, speaking of which, the son of the Qian family is younger than his son, and he is not in harmony with the clan, and he lost his father and brother, but he has become famous all over the world in just a few years......
The military merits are impressive, and the southeast coast regards its ten thousand families as Buddhas, and until now, even His Majesty has to personally summon him to determine major events, and he is also on the list in Nanzhili Township, maybe he will be able to enter the department next year.
Compared with Xu Fan, it is really a heaven and an underground.
Although he knew that he was degraded out of Beijing back then, and Xu Fan was so undisciplined that he was so unlearned, Xu Jie was still unbearable, and a series of Songjiang dialects made Xu Fan's face turn pale.
After exiting the study, Xu Fan gritted his teeth, he was really unlucky, and he was scolded for no reason.
Xu Fan naturally wouldn't complain about his father, but would only target Qian Yuan.
"Brother?" The slim Miss Xu Si walked over with a plate in person, followed by a slender girl.
"Girl......" Xu Fan smiled reluctantly, looked at the girl and reprimanded: "Don't come out and walk around if it's okay!" ”
"Yes, father." The girl's voice was very cold, and her words were respectful but casual.
She is Xu Fan's eldest daughter, and she was very favored when she was young, but in the past two or three years, she has become more and more unlikable, she doesn't like to read, but likes to play with swords, Xu Fan is annoyed when she sees it.
Miss Xu Si pursed her lips and smiled, she knew that most of the Xu family were short, but her niece was the only exception, she was only thirteen years old this year, and her height was already taller than her father and grandfather.
In this era, women are taller than men...... For men, it is really a shameless thing, so Xu Fan is annoyed when he sees it, and every time he feels that he is looking up to his daughter.
Too lazy to look at her daughter, Xu Fan glanced at her sister-in-law, gritted her teeth and whispered, "That guy is going to Beijing!" ”
"Qian Zhancai?"
"That's him!" Xu Fan rubbed his hands and said: "Three years ago, this guy knocked down your carriage, and I see that my brother avenged you this time!" ”
Miss Xu Si only smiled and didn't say anything, looked at Xu Fan's departing back, and gently bumped her niece's shoulder, "It's also revenge for you, after all, you were knocked unconscious at that time, and my brother's eyes were red at that time." ”
The girl flattened her mouth and shook her head, looking innocent. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
