Although Li Shi is a good gentleman, loyal and honest, and does not fight for anything, he also has a lot of opinions about Xia Yan.

Xia Yan is too arrogant, and many times, he doesn't care about his face as the first assistant of the cabinet, so it's no wonder that he doesn't have a temper.

Jiajing came to Li Shi for advice, and he really found the right person.

Li Shi looked at the ticket written by Xia Yan, and couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, nepotism, who is nepotism?

He thought for a while, and then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for saying bluntly, generally even a third level requires great merit, what kind of merit does this Bai Qichang have, Weichen really has never heard of it." ”

It's enough to have this sentence, one level up, two levels or something, that's a normal promotion, the six Lang Zhong and the five temples Shaoqing of the five products, promote two levels, release the prefect, exercise, and then return to Beijing to serve as the head of the six temples or the head of the five temples It is relatively normal, however, it is a bit exaggerated to be promoted to three levels in a row.

Even being promoted to the third level is generally to praise those officials who have great merits, Bai Qichang is just a Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, what merits can he have, generally only the six Lang have the opportunity to obtain great merits, and the Shaoqing of the Five Temples are generally mixed up, and it is difficult to mix up some merits.

Jiajing actually just wanted to find an excuse to block Xia Yan's mouth, this excuse is very good, very powerful, you said that you want to give people a three-level promotion, what about merit, if you don't have merit, you will be promoted to three levels in a row, and you will be punished for nothing, what will other officials think?

Therefore, Bai Qichang was shot to death by Jiajing at once, and Wang Dong successfully took over as the salt envoy of the two Huai capitals.

This thing went well, even Yang Cong felt incredible, such a big fat shortage, it was won so smoothly, Yan Song took the initiative to provoke the incident, but in the end, he cheapened his side in vain, and let them pick up a big bargain, this performance is too good, right?

Does Yan Song really have such a dish?

Of course not!

If he really wanted to take over the two Huai Du to transfer salt and Si Du to make this fat shortage, he would definitely not behave so rubbish. Mobile:

This time, everyone was tricked by him, including Xia Yan and Li Shi.

It's not that there is no one under him, if he recommends a prefect or Liubu Langzhong to Xia Yan, then it is really unknown who killed the deer, but he just recommended a young man of Guanglu Temple who doesn't know what, which clearly shows that he is playing Xia Yan.

So, what exactly does he want to do?

On this day, he came to Jiajing with a few pairs of written green words.

In fact, these green words were not written by him, but by the guests he recruited, and he just took them and copied them.

However, his handwriting is indeed very good, Jiajing really feels that he is very talented, plus he has always been in favor of Jiajing's cultivation, and Jiajing favors him even more.

Jiajing looked at the green words he offered, and couldn't help but be happy, every time at this time, Jiajing would talk to him about life and ideals.

The life of the king of a country is actually to govern the country, as for the ideal, Jiajing wants to be born with Gu Dao, Yan Song also agrees with this, and always makes Jiajing smile.

However, this time, Yan Song didn't come to talk to Jiajing about any cultivation, after he took a few words, he pretended to be worried, and sighed: "Alas, Your Majesty, there is a sentence that Weichen doesn't know whether to say or not." ”

Jiajing has a posture of treating Yan Song as a confidant at this time, and when he saw Yan Song's appearance, he couldn't help but care: "What's the matter, Weizhong, just say something, there is no need to twist and pinch between our monarchs and ministers." ”

Yan Song pretended to be flattered, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, Lord Xia is not in a good mood during this time, and every time he talks to Wei Chen, he sighs for a long time, and Wei Chen looks at it, and he is really worried about him." ”

Hum!

It's right to be in a bad mood, who let him be so arrogant.

Jiajing's opinion on Xia Yan is indeed getting bigger and bigger, but he has no opinion on Yan Song, and Yan Song is not very disgusted when he talks to him about this.

He asked lightly, "Oh, what is he sighing about?" ”

Yan Song said with some embarrassment: "He is nothing more than saying that Yangming is cronyistic and excludes dissidents." ”

Jiajing said with some disdain: "Isn't he crony?" Doesn't he exclude dissent? ”

Yan Song said cautiously: "This, Weichen can't say it well, but what Lord Xia said also has a certain amount of truth, since Lord Zhang became the secretary of the ministry, Yangming's vein has indeed become more and more excessive, like this Lianghuai Salt Political Corruption Case, I heard Lord Xia say that they were premeditated, Wang Hua is indeed unforgivable, however, they took Wang Hua not because Wang Hua was corrupt, but because they wanted to monopolize the business of the Lianghuai salt industry. I heard Lord Xia say that the last time they fought for the position of the head of the household department in Nanjing, it was also for the salt business. Wei Chen doesn't understand these things very well, but listening to Lord Xia, this Yangming line is indeed premeditated. ”

When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but ponder, the intention of this Yangming family to compete for the salt business was quite obvious, and he really didn't notice it.

He thought for a moment, and then asked, "How do you feel about Zhang Bangqi?" ”

Yan Song pretended to be a duke and said selflessly: "Lord Zhang is an upright person, but when he asks for the same door, he may not be able to pull this face, this should be a small flaw, if you want to be a micro-minister, whether you are a fellow citizen or a fellow villager, since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot be both, as an official, loyalty first, loyalty to the emperor, as for righteousness, compared with the emperor, what is it with the Ming Dynasty?" ”

What he said was too much for Jiajing's appetite, and Jiajing couldn't help but look at Yan Song with admiration.

This Yan Song, yes, so loyal, unlike other court officials, full of benevolence and morality, and from time to time he admonishes him, saying that he can't do this and that.

Who is this Ming, do I need to listen to you! : :

He glanced at Yan Song deeply, and already had some ideas in his mind.

Wang Dong won the post of the two Huai Du transfer salt envoys, Yang Ming was naturally happy, this is good, won the two Huai salt government, it will be more convenient to rectify the corruption of the salt government, as long as the salt government corruption is solved, the price of salt can be reduced, and the burden of the people can be reduced a lot, which is simply a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people!

I have to say that these civil officials, whether they are pedantic or stubborn, sometimes they do want to do something good for the country and the people, of course, they are not all for the country and the people, perhaps, they also want to ask for a name.

In any case, it is indeed a great thing for Wang Dong to take down the two Huai Du to transfer salt envoys, and it is indeed worth celebrating.

However, they hadn't been happy for a few days, and Jiajing suddenly splashed a basin of cold water, which made their hearts feel cold.

Jiajing actually issued an order to move Yan Song to the secretary of the ministry and Zhang Bangqi to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the positions of the two people were reversed!

At this moment, Yang Ming's lineage, including Yang Cong, was stunned.

Only then did they understand that their side was completely set up by Yan Song, and it turned out that Yan Song was not for the position of the salt envoy of the two Huaidu, but for the position of the secretary of the ministry.

Yan Song, this guy is really amazing!
