West Garden, Wanshou Palace.

Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting there, seemed to be smiling, this emperor who had been known for his deep scheming since he was a teenager was not only cultivating, but what he liked to see most was this scene.

Power is the basic operation that every qualified emperor should control, but he likes to see important ministers in front of him, or open swords and guns, or secret arrows sneak attack, which can only show that Emperor Jiajing is really a pervert.

In the Wanshou Palace, Li Mo, who was thrown out by Emperor Jiajing not long ago, was fighting in all directions, Yan Song and Xu Jie were the first to retreat, of course, these two were mainly self-respecting.

After that, Ouyang Bijin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Ouyang De, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, were defeated and retreated, and Lu Ben in college, Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and others were all alone, and only Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who returned to Beijing not long ago, was still struggling to support.

Many people in the hall were surprised by Li Mo's great power today, which was simply a sweep.

Yang Yi, the governor of Zhejiang, was so powerless that the private fight of the guest soldiers was so that the Fujian general was killed on the street; Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, was helpless against the Japanese in the territory, so that a small group of Japanese invaders fled to the south of Zhili, and the southern capital was almost attacked.

Eight days ago, Li Mo wrote a letter to impeach Hu Zongxian, and Emperor Jiajing stayed in the middle of the country.

Three days ago, the news that Yang Yi, the governor of Zhejiang, was powerless to suppress reached the capital, and Emperor Jiajing was furious and ordered Jinyi to be escorted to Beijing and imprisoned.

Today, Emperor Jiajing unexpectedly ordered the court to promote the new governor of Zhejiang.

The so-called court push is unique to the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a recommendation system that has been criticized by later generations.

This system seemed to later generations to be nonsense, and the number of recommended votes for the governor of Zhejiang was in the hands of a group of officials who knew nothing about military affairs.

Officials above the third grade, scholars, including the six Shangshu, Jiuqing, elect two or three candidates, arrange them in order, and then issue the cabinet seal after the emperor decides, generally speaking, the emperor will choose the one at the top.

In fact, the Jiajing Dynasty has not held a court push for a long, long time, because the goals of the court push are mainly to establish a prince, establish a capital, enter the cabinet, and side affairs.

Now that the prince does not exist, after the death of two princes in a row, Emperor Jiajing chose to believe the nonsense that "the two dragons must not meet".

Lidu is even more of a shadow, and the entry into the cabinet is often named by Emperor Jiajing himself, and he does not discuss with others at all.

This is also the main reason why the cabinet of Jiajing has changed, what Yan Song and Xia Yan are fighting in full swing, Fei Hong and Xie Qian are about to hang up and were pulled back as the first assistant, and Zhang Xuan has entered the cabinet...... Jiajing's manipulation is too much.

Most of the side affairs are also like this, Jiajing hand-picked, or recommended by university scholars and military department scholars, such as the previous Wang Minying was hand-picked by Emperor Jiajing, Tu Dashan behind was recommended by Xu Jie, and Zhang Jing was recommended by Nie Bao.

And the main reason why Li Mo is so powerful today is that he is recommending officials, who have jumped out of the Three Realms and are not within the Five Elements.

Ying Tian Governor Cao Bangfu.

There is a reason to recommend Cao Bangfu, although he has been defeated in the last year or two, most of them can win, and Suzhou and Songjiang have rarely been invaded by Japanese invaders this year, and this is a civilian official who knows military affairs.

And the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian...... In Li Mo's words, this is a courtier.

Li Mo is not accusing Hu Zongxian of being attached to the Yan Party, but is saying...... Taizhou and Shaoxing have been in frequent wars this year and have suffered repeated defeats, but Hu Zongxian's main attention was on Suzhou, Songjiang, and Jiaxing, which were only invaded by a small group of Japanese pirates.

Although Li Mo is iron-headed, he is also smart and keenly found the strategy that is most likely to arouse Emperor Jiajing's disgust...... Thieves plundered, supported troops without fighting, Li Mo's fellow villager and friend Zhang Jing died on this one.

And the real reason why Li Mo jumped out today is that he began to participate in the government at a deep level.

In other words, Li Mo put up the flag.

He is telling everyone that apart from the old Yan Song and the silent Xu Jie, you have other choices.

After Xia Yan was abandoned in the city, there were only two banners in the court, Yan Song and Xu Jie, and another university scholar Lu Ben...... Uh, it's a soy sauce guy.

But after seven years of confrontation between the two, Emperor Jiajing chose Li Mo.

And Li Mo himself has the same ambition, in other words, it is a hit-off.

The argument gradually subsided, Li Mo was very eloquent, and his face was damp with Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and he didn't dare to speak...... I'm really afraid of eating each other's saliva.

Emperor Jiajing straightened up, narrowed his narrow eyes, looked at everyone one by one, and said after a long time: "Zhao Wenhua recommended Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, and Li Mo, the minister, recommended Cao Bangfu, the governor of Yingtian, is there anything else?" ”

The eyes of everyone in the hall fell on Xu Jie, and the short bachelor buried his head deeply.

For Xu Jie, who will serve as the governor of Zhejiang has nothing to do with him.

Now, he only thinks about himself.

Or rather, he never thought only of himself.

After waiting for a while, Emperor Jiajing motioned to Huang Jin on the side, and soon the results came out.

There are a total of 12 scholars plus Jiuqing, Hu Zongxian has seven votes, and Cao Bangfu has five votes.

As soon as this result came out, the hall was much quieter, seven to five, and the gap was not big.

Yan Song, the only one sitting among the ministers in the hall, trembled and was about to get up, but Li Mo had already rushed out of the queue in front.

"Your Majesty, today the court pushes the governor of Zhejiang, the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, and Cao Bangfu, the governor of Yingtian, second, to the holy judge."

Emperor Jiajing nodded with satisfaction, and Yan Song, who was already half-up, sat back.

Li Mo is already very satisfied, Tingtui and the two of them, in fact, the number of votes is of little practical significance, because everyone knows that this emperor does not follow the rules, if he chooses in order...... Instead, it's quirky.

Li Mo and his fellow villager Zhang Jing are a bit similar, their temperament is as fierce as fire, and they would rather take it in the straight than seek it in the song, but the difference is that Li Mo has a high degree of political sensitivity and superb operational ability.

In fact, the first person Li Mo wanted to recommend was Wang Hao, the head of the household department in Nanjing.

Wang Hao was a jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, the same year of Xu Jie.

Although Li Mo was self-controlled, he looked down on Yan Song and Xu Jie, but he didn't want to scare these two at the same time.

But six days ago, Emperor Jiajing suddenly gave the imperial pen the word "loyalty", and ordered Li Mo to concurrently serve as a bachelor of Hanlin, which greatly encouraged his confidence and gave him the qualification to put up the banner.

Emperor Jiajing didn't make any decisions, but looked at Yang Bo, "What does the military department say?" ”

Yang Bo's face was dry, without a trace of expression, and he said: "Bow down to the Holy Judge." ”

Yang Bo is the most knowledgeable person in the palace, but he is also a very self-aware person, and he never wants to be stirred into this messy porridge.

However, Yang Bo was very interested in that young man in Songjiang, his brother-in-law Wang Chonggu is now Su Songbing, who once went to Taiping Mansion with Cao Bangfu, met that young man, and wrote a letter a few days ago.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Yan Song got up and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty......"

Emperor Jiajing snorted, and his gaze fell on Huang Jin.

Huang Jin mourned in silence for the young man in Songjiang who had not yet arrived, and leaned over and said, "The commander will report and enter Beijing tomorrow." ”

Emperor Jiajing nodded, "I'll talk about it in three days." ”

Looking at the back of Emperor Jiajing throwing his sleeves and leaving, the ministers all knew that they were waiting for someone. Diagram of the Avenue of the Heavens
