The emperor of the Ming Dynasty went out on patrol, the pomp was not small, just the brocade guard, at least five reorganized guards, more than 5,000 people, and also according to the distance of the road, the security situation to increase the Beijing camp guards.

In addition, there were also accompanying officials, nobles, eunuchs, palace maids, drum music honor guards, etc., no less than four or five thousand people.

In other words, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty had to bring at least 10,000 people with him when he went out to the palace.

The eating, drinking, lodging and resting of tens of thousands of people is not an ordinary trouble, because the ordinary small city cannot accommodate so many people, and the small city buildings are chaotic, the guards are troublesome, and it is extremely unsafe.

Therefore, the emperor will not enter the small city when he goes out on patrol, if the road is far, he will build a palace along the way, and if the road is relatively close, he will camp directly in the field.

This time Jiajing is going to worship the imperial mausoleum, the road is not far, it is more than 100 miles, there is no foreign invasion at this time, Jinyi Wei is enough to bring more than 5,000 people, but there is no large city along the way, and there is no palace, so the group must camp in the field and sleep in the open for a few days.

This guy, tens of thousands of people are camping in the wilderness, and there are many things to prepare, thousands of tents alone, as well as food and drink, I don't know how many, these preparations alone will take several days.

In the past few days, Yang Cong didn't have to prepare anything, he had been thinking about how to deal with Xia Yan.

If Xia Yan is allowed to become the first assistant, not only will Yang Ming's vein be in trouble, but he will also be in trouble, but they have just won the position of the head of the household department in Nanjing, which made Xia Yan deflated, and it is strange that Xia Yan does not retaliate against them.

So, how to stop Xia Yan from becoming the first assistant smoothly?

At the beginning, he still wanted to take the risk of grabbing Xia Yan's pigtails, if there was anything wrong with Xia Yan, he would naturally not be able to do it.

However, he asked Li Twelve to inquire for a few days, but he didn't hear any news.

This guy is really just without desire, he likes to just be with others, but others have nothing to do with him, because he has almost no problems with himself, he is neither corrupt nor lustful, and his usual life is very simple, and he can't find fault with it at all.

It stands to reason that this kind of "good official" with clean sleeves should not clean up people's homes, after all, there are too few such "good officials" in these years.

However, Yang Cong had to find a way to clean him up, who let him seek to seize the power of the court.

Sometimes, the boundary between good and bad people is very blurred, although Xia Yan has a clean sleeve, he is not the kind of selfless virtuous minister, on the contrary, this guy is still a little small-minded, whoever is against him, he is also good or bad, and he will always lie down, this point, Zhang Xuan is proof.

Zhang Xuan is also the kind of "good official" with clean sleeves, if Xia Yan wants to be really selfless, he should not clean up other people's houses and take away other people's rights.

Since he can distinguish between good and bad, just to exclude dissent, then others can also take care of him regardless of good and bad.

What's more, his "successor" is still a traitor like Yan Song, and letting him take power is tantamount to making a wedding dress for Yan Song, so no matter how it goes, it can't make him the first assistant of the cabinet.

However, what should I do if I can't find anything wrong with this guy?

If there is no problem, then give him a whole problem!

Yang Cong is not the kind of humble gentleman, since he is right, there is nothing to say, no matter what means he uses, he will prevent Xia Yan from becoming the first assistant of the cabinet.

If you want to make something wrong with people, the easiest way is, of course, to frame him, Song Yingkui just wanted to use this trick to clean him up and Zhao Yan, but he was planted by him, and he still has a lot of experience in framing him.

However, it doesn't seem very appropriate to frame Xia Yan, because Jiajing believes in Xia Yan's integrity, and it seems difficult for Jiajing to change this opinion, if one is not good, he will put his own people in it.

It's not easy to use this trick to frame up, so what can be done?

He thought about it for days, but he still didn't have a clue.

On this day, he suddenly received a letter from the Ministry of Etiquette, which probably informed some precautions for traveling, such as what clothes to bring, and preparing to cook for himself.

Looking at the official document issued by the Ministry of Rites, he suddenly remembered that the loss of an important official document was a big crime, and Xia Yan had already begun to exercise the power of the first assistant of the cabinet on behalf of Zhang Xuan at this time, and he had a lot of important twists and turns every day, if he "lost" an important tribute, I am afraid that this crime would be enough for him to drink a pot.

So, how to make the important fold "lost", it seems inappropriate to send someone to steal it, because this can't fool Jiajing, if Xia Yan's fold is stolen, it is estimated that Jiajing will not only not blame Xia Yan, but will also suspect his own person.

In other words, it is necessary to let the folds be naturally "lost", so that Jiajing will not doubt them.

However, it seems impossible to make the fold automatically "lost", he is not a god, and if he wants the fold to disappear, the fold will disappear.

What to do?

His eyes unconsciously glanced at the official document of the Ministry of Rites for a while, and suddenly thought of a way, set a fire, and directly burned the music to him!

It is said that it is not possible to secretly play and fold, but can it be made clear that it is okay to set fire?

Of course, Yang Cong didn't want to set fire to it, he wanted to create an accident.

It was clearly written on this official document that the officials were to prepare their own fires for cooking.

He wants to make his own fire to cook, Xia Yan naturally has to make his own fire to cook, it is not impossible for Martian to fly out and burn the tent, as long as the scene is made into an accidental fire, who would have thought that he deliberately set the fire!

This method is good, but someone has to implement it, and he will definitely not be able to do it if he is not as good as a three-legged cat.

The day before departure, Yang Cong had dinner in Lu Mansion, and seeing Lu Song and his wife leaving with a smile, Lu Linger was excitedly wanting to go for a walk in the garden with him, but he suddenly beckoned to Lu Bing: "Civilization, let's go, let's go to the back garden to chat." ”

When Lu Bing heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he looked at Lu Ling'er, then at Yang Cong, and couldn't help but quip: "What's the matter, are you afraid that Ling'er will bully you?" ”

When Lu Ling'er heard this, she went up and grabbed him with a punch, and then said coquettishly: "Brother, what are you talking about, when did I bully him." ”

Fainted to death, this pair of brothers and sisters, sometimes they are really naïve, he explained helplessly: "Ling'er is so well-behaved, how can she bully me, I have something to discuss with you." ”

When Lu Bing heard this, he suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that there is something, then good, let's go." ”

After that, he pulled Yang Cong and walked to the back garden, and when Lu Ling'er saw this, he hurriedly followed.

Seeing this, Yang Cong could only shake his head helplessly, and it was not until he walked into the back garden that he said to Lu Ling'er on the side: "Ling'er, you go to the pavilion first and wait, I'll talk to your brother about something." ”

Lu Ling'er couldn't help but be curious: "What's the matter, the gods are mysterious, can't I listen to them?" ”

Of course you can't listen, you're a bottomless bottle, if you can't help but run to Jiajing and say it to the front, then I'm in big trouble.

Yang Cong could only half-truth: "What we discussed is killing people and setting fires, aren't you girls afraid, good, go to the pavilion and wait for a while." ”

Yes?

Murder and arson!

Lu Ling'er really didn't want to hear this, she didn't even want to ask, she just ran to the pavilion as soon as she slipped away.

Lu Bing watched Lu Ling'er run away, and then he was curious: "Qingfeng, what is going on?" ”

You kid, you like to joke, right, I'll make a joke with you too, Yang Cong said seriously: "Didn't you just say it, kill people and set fires!" ”

Yes?

What a murder and arson!

Lu Bing was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice, "Kill whom?" ”

, this guy usually looks kind and pleasant, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless inside, just look at his expression, you know that he really dares to kill!

This joke is unbelievable, Yang Cong hurriedly explained: "It's not killing, it's arson." ”
