Volume 4 Chapter 23 The Comeback

Will Yang Cong agree to make a comeback?

At this point, Jiajing really has no bottom in his heart.

Although he is used to being arbitrary in the appointment and dismissal of important ministers in the court, he has nothing to do in the face of people like Yang Cong who are not interested in any position.

In these years, the emperor's order is indeed inviolable most of the time, but it is an exception in the appointment and removal of official positions, because if you want people to come out to hold any official position, they will always be willing, and if you want people to be unwilling at all, then even if you are forced to take office, you will always have people who will work.

Jiajing has no doubt about Yang Cong's ability, but whether Yang Cong will accept the position of secretary of the Ministry of Rites as Zhang Bangqi said, Jiajing is not sure at all.

This kid has to be summoned to ask.

After Zhang Bangqi left, he ordered people to hurry up and rush to Yuyuantan, summon Yang Cong, and come to meet him.

Yang Cong didn't expect that Zhang Bangqi would directly carry him out, they hadn't discussed this matter in advance, because it was normal for a cabinet scholar to concurrently serve as a scholar of the six ministries, and the first assistant of the cabinet needed to focus on the affairs of the cabinet and remove other official positions, and they never thought that Jiajing would let Zhang Bangqi remove the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, even if he doesn't know about this yet, Jiajing summons him, no matter how he drops, he has to go, and he has to go quickly.

He is not a madman like Xia Yan, he has to take care of everything in front of Jiajing to show that he is different, although he looks down on Jiajing more than Xia Yan in his heart, but on the surface, he has never shown it.

is reluctant to make a comeback, that's another matter, he hasn't played a score in front of Jiajing, on the contrary, he still shows quite respect.

Jiajing wanted to summon with a fast horse, so he responded with a fast horse, and in less than half an hour, he appeared in front of Jiajing.

After he came to the Qianqing Palace, he pretended to be out of breath and asked a little anxiously: "The emperor is in a hurry to recruit micro-ministers, but what is the big deal?" ”

This kid is really good, at least the speed of this is unexpectedly fast.

Jiajing nodded slightly, and said with relief: "There is no major event, I just want to ask how the railway from North Zhili to South Zhili is being repaired." ”

As soon as Yang Cong heard this, he understood that Jiajing wanted him to come back to take on what official position.

In the past, if he wanted to pretend to go into hiding, he naturally tried his best to excuse himself, but at this time, Xia Yan had already been killed by Yan Song, so he naturally wanted to find a way to come back as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't thought of any good way, and Jiajing actually took the initiative to recruit him.

That's a good thing!

He pretended to think for a while, and then said seriously: "Back to the emperor, the railway from North Zhili to South Zhili has basically been built, and the rest is to test and build auxiliary facilities such as stations. ”

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but be slightly excited: "Oh, so fast? That's great, then I can take the fire dragon car to Jinling to worship my ancestors. By the way, the railroad is finished, what are your plans? ”

Intend?

Of course, there is.

However, this cannot be said explicitly, only implicitly.

Yang Cong pretended to be pretending to be and said: "This, Weichen doesn't have any specific plans yet, if it's okay, it's good to take the children and teach the disciples." ”

When Jiajing heard this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You, your good skills are about to be wasted, and you can't go on like this." ”

Yang Cong said with a little embarrassment: "The emperor's lesson is that Weichen will definitely change it in the future." ”

Jiajing couldn't help but say angrily: "Okay, don't go later, now, I have an errand for you, Zhang Bangqi, I have been transferred to the cabinet, and the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites will be vacant, how about you take over the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Zhang Bangqi really entered the cabinet?

This decision was told by Jiajing to Zhang Bangqi not long ago, and Yang Cong naturally hasn't received the news yet.

This is another good thing, although the cabinet scholars cannot be compared with the cabinet chief assistant in terms of power, but they can play a certain role in restraining the cabinet chief assistant, at least, with Zhang Bangqi in the cabinet, Yan Song cannot do whatever he wants unscrupulously.

As for the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, that is also a good thing, although the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are not very important, this position is quite important, because theoretically speaking, the cabinet is under the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is the first of the six scholars, and it is only half a step away from the cabinet scholars.

Yang Cong is about to try his best to make a comeback, and someone sent a pillow as soon as he fell asleep, where to find such a good thing.

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then simply arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the emperor's grace." ”

This kid agreed so readily!

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

However, soon, he said with relief: "That's right, do it well, I still count on you to govern the country and prosper the country." ”

This is a hint that as long as you do a good job, it is not impossible to enter the cabinet and even become the first assistant of the cabinet.

Jiajing rarely says this to people, and governing the country and rejuvenating the country is not something that ordinary people can do, and he actually said all this, which shows how much he values Yang Cong.

At this time, it is natural to invest in peach and repay it.

Yang Cong thought about it pretendedly, and then said as if offering a treasure: "Your Majesty, thanks to you, this Shuncheng railway business is simply unimaginable, and it can earn tens of thousands of taels in a month, and Weichen is thinking about how to spend this money and promote the emperor's kindness." Now, Wechen finally has an idea, Wechen thinks, in the name of the Ministry of Rites or even the emperor in the name of the establishment of the School of Physics in the provinces of the branches, free teaching of civilian children, teach them the principle of learning about things, let them learn some means of making a living, in this way, not only can promote the principle of knowledge of things, but also can make the emperor grateful for his kindness, the emperor, do you think this will work. “

That's a pretty good idea!

When the emperor is the emperor, who doesn't want to rule the people to be grateful to Dade.

Jiajing nodded without hesitation and said, "It's a good thing to teach and educate, I support you." ”

Yang Cong patted disgustingly: "Your Majesty, when the time comes, I will trouble you to inscribe the names of the branches, so that everyone knows that this is the emperor for the benefit of the people." ”

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, okay, you just have to report the name of the branch and I will write it for you." ”

He was overjoyed by Yang Cong, but Yan Song was as disgusting and uncomfortable as eating a fly.

Yang Cong did not hesitate to replace Zhang Bangqi as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, thus entering the center of power in the imperial court in one fell swoop!

Yan Song really didn't expect this.

Yang Cong, this guy, has been twisting for so many years, no matter how Jiajing recruits, he refuses to come back, and even takes the initiative to move out of the capital to establish some physics college, as if he is determined to return to the mountains and forests.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yan had just been beheaded, and people swooped out!

At this time, Yan Song was a little surprised, perhaps, the purpose of Yang Cong's retreat was to let him fight with Xia Yan.

Alas, I didn't expect that I was pecked in the eyes by geese all day long, Yang Cong, this kid, is really treacherous!

Of course, even if he understood Yang Cong's purpose at this time, it would be too late, because Xia Yan had already been killed by him, and he couldn't be resurrected after death, so he could only go into battle in person and fight with this kid.
