Although Yang Cong was calm and light on the surface, he didn't say anything, but in fact, he kept thinking about it in his heart.

Why did Xia Yan suddenly propose to remove Zhang Shiche, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, didn't he know that Zhang Shiche was Zhang Bangqi's nephew?

This is obviously impossible, the uncle and nephew are officials in the same dynasty, and they are all in charge of the six Shangshu, it seems that there are just two of them, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty know it, can the first assistant of his cabinet not know.

Xia Yan obviously knew that Zhang Shiche was Zhang Bangqi's nephew, and if he still wanted to do this, it would prove that he had a plan, otherwise he wouldn't have to tear his face with Zhang Bangqi.

So, what exactly is he up to?

Could it be that he is for the salt to induce a share?

This is obviously impossible, although Xia Yan is not dealing with them, but if he doesn't blow it up, he is really not a corrupt official, not to mention what kind of salt is the share, even if it is the filial piety of ordinary subordinates, he will not ask for it.

Since he is not seeking wealth, is he seeking power?

This is also unlikely, it is true that Nanjing Hubu Shangshu is a fat shortage, but it is not a key position, and it doesn't make much sense for him to take it, if he really tears his face with Yangming, it is better to take Zhang Bangqi's position as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this position is one of the most important positions below the cabinet.

Xia Yan was neither for money nor for power, but he did not hesitate to tear his face with Yang Ming, and proposed to remove Zhang Shiche, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, for what was it for?

This is obviously not normal!

Actually, if you think about this matter carefully, you can see the clues, Xia Yan was obviously tricked by Yan Song, and it was actually Yan Song who really wanted to seize the position of the head of the household department in Nanjing!

This famous corrupt official through the ages, in the face of the fattest position in the Ming Dynasty, it is strange that he does not salivate.

Yan Song coveted the fat difference of Nanjing Hubu Shangshu, so he designed Xia Yan to snatch it, which was the most normal.

Xia Yan, a stupid hat, didn't know that he was used as a gun.

Yang Cong was thinking about it, and Lu Bing suddenly asked: "Qingfeng, you should talk about it, what should we do about this, if we don't have a share of salt, we will probably have to drink the northwest wind." ”

Lu Bing was really a little anxious, because he didn't have much power at this time, and he couldn't get much oil and water, and the income from the salt introduction share was almost all his source of income, if it was gone, he would really have to drink the northwest wind.

Before Yang Cong could speak, Zhang Bangqi actually echoed and said: "Yes, Qingfeng, you hurry up and think of a way, we will definitely not be able to compete with Xia Yan and Yan Song during the court discussion, and at that time, if the position of Nanjing Hubu Shangshu is taken away by them, I am afraid that the price of salt will soar again." ”

He is not wrong in what he said, if the ancestor of Yan Song, a corrupt official, takes away the position of the head of the household department in Nanjing, the price of salt is estimated to have to rise back to the previous level, you know, the price of salt has dropped by six or seven percent at this time, and the people can basically afford to eat salt, if it rises back to the previous level, I am afraid that the people will be miserable again.

However, I'm afraid he doesn't mean this, at least, he doesn't just think about the people, he thinks more, I'm afraid it's the future of his nephew Zhang Shiche.

Although Nanjing Hubu Shangshu is not as good as the Beijing Hubu Shangshu, but it is also a position that controls real power, there is still a little possibility of promotion, Nanjing Criminal Department Shangshu is different, it is purely a pension position, after sitting on it, the career is basically over, except for waiting for the old age, the others basically don't have to think about it.

Zhang Shiche is only in his forties at this time, and Zhang Bangqi naturally doesn't want the hope of the next generation of their old Zhang family to be ruined like this.

What should I do about this?

Yang Cong thought about it again, and then asked, "Who proposed this court move?" ”

He didn't go to the Early Dynasty, and these people just said that Xia Yan wanted to remove Zhang Shiche from Nanjing, and he didn't know the specific situation of the Early Dynasty.

When Xu Yande heard this, he couldn't help but say: "I proposed the court discussion, Qingfeng, don't you know, the situation at that time was really urgent, Xia Yan's old guy was aggressive, as if he was forcing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to nod, and the Zhan Shifu Gang of Souls also frequently cooperated with their eyes to mislead His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince almost nodded, if I hadn't stood up to stop it with a clever cleverness, it is estimated that the position of the head of the household department in Nanjing would have changed hands at this time." ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, this court proposal was actually proposed by Xu Yande!

He originally thought that it should be Xia Yan who proposed to remove Zhang Shiche, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, and then Yan Song or his cronies took the opportunity to propose to organize a court meeting, anyway, most of the important ministers in the court at this time were members of his Yan Song party, and they did not have the final say in the court meeting.

Unexpectedly, this court discussion was not proposed by Yan Song's henchmen, what does this old fox mean?

It stands to reason that he doesn't need to be so anxious.

Anyway, he also has an absolute advantage in the court discussion.

If this matter didn't pass the court discussion, or even Jiajing, it was no wonder that Jiajing didn't go crazy, why did Yan Song do this?

Yang Cong thought about it carefully, and suddenly understood that Yan Song was pit Xia Yan!

This old fox played a good trick and killed two birds with one stone, not only won the position of the head of the household department in Nanjing, but also put Xia Yan into the pit.

If the crown prince Zhu Zaili really nodded and decided this matter in the early dynasty, then Xia Yan would be miserable.

Even if Jiajing didn't remove him immediately, he would definitely be disgusted with him because of this.

Your guy is too disagreeable, I just left politics and wanted to concentrate on cultivation, you just want to "bully" the prince when he is young, and remove the Nanjing Hubu Shangshu without authorization, and turn the sky upside down!

Once Jiajing becomes disgusted with this person, then this person is basically finished, Xia Yan is obviously digging his own grave!

So, how to deal with this?

If it is really decided by the court, Zhang Shiche, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, will definitely not be able to keep it, and if you want to keep Zhang Shiche's position, you have to think of other ways.

What he can do now seems to be to let people dig up the old bottom of Yan Maoqing, the left attendant of the household department, and kill this guy, so that there is no need for court discussion.

However, this cannot ensure that nothing goes wrong, because Yan Song can also propose other candidates.

If Yan Song mentions one, and he does one, it will be a bit too much, it is estimated that Yan Song should find out after a few days, and when the time comes, Yan Song will definitely turn the spearhead again and unite with Xia Yan to deal with him, if that's the case, wouldn't he have pretended to be a grandson in vain in the past few years?

Thinking of this, Yang Cong suddenly reacted, this matter is not so simple, Yan Song not only wants to put Xia Yan into the pit through this matter, but also wants to test him through this matter, to see if he is really tired of his career and plans to return to the mountains and forests.

This old fox has a good trick and kills three birds with one stone!

It seems that he can't make a move on this matter, and as soon as he does, it will be exposed.

What to do?

Could it be that you will give up Taoguang's obscure strategy and lead everyone to be tough with Yan Song and Xia Yan?

This won't work, Yan Song, the old fox, will not necessarily be injured at that time, it is very possible that they and Xia Yan will both be injured.
