Volume 4 Chapter 17 A backhand slap
Xia Yan came to Yan Song, originally wanting Yan Song to find a way to solve the problem of military rations and salaries in the northwest, but Yan Song avoided the important and trivialized, and pushed the matter to the head of Yangming.
After some discussion between the two, there was no substantive effect, according to Yan Song, this is all a ghost in the Yangming lineage, Yan Maoqing also needs a certain amount of time to integrate the new salt merchants, Zeng Milling there, can only continue to wait, there is no other way.
I have to say that in terms of rectifying or harming people, Xia Yan is really far behind Yan Song, he didn't expect Yan Song to use this kind of thing to rectify him, he really thought that he would wait for food and salary!
This has all mutiny, will Yan Song still give him time to wait any longer?
How can it be!
In the afternoon of the same day, Yan Song went to find Jiajing.
Jiajing thought that Yan Song was here to offer a speech again, but he never thought that this guy was empty-handed and didn't take anything.
He couldn't help but wonder: "Weizhong, is there something wrong with you?" β
Yan Song pretended to hesitate for a while, and then "gritted his teeth" and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is panicked, the right and wrong behind the Taoist are not right in the first place, plus Lord Xia Yanxia has the grace to support Weichen, and it is even more uncommon for Weichen to do this, but it is a matter of national affairs, and Weichen has to say, and ask the emperor for forgiveness." β
What kind of mess is this, what did Xia Yan do, you said!
When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help urging: "What's wrong with Gongjin, you say." β
When Yan Song heard this, he "mustered up the courage" and said: "Your Majesty, something happened in Shanxi!" In order to bribe Lord Xia Yanxia and win the favor of high-ranking officials, Zeng Mill even privately withheld the food and salary of the border army, so that the border army in the three towns of Shanxi made trouble, and it all evolved into a mutiny! And Lord Xia Yanxia not only did not report to the emperor, but also privately consulted with Weichen, asking Weichen to find a way to deceive the emperor, and help allocate food and salary to quell the mutiny. Weichen was terrified, such a big matter, how dare Weichen deceive the emperor! β
Yes!
When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
He was still eagerly looking forward to waiting for Xia Yan to calm down the troubles in the northwest and create a prosperous world for him, but he never thought that the Tartars had not killed a single one, but the northwest border army was in chaos by itself!
The ups and downs of this life come so fast, it's so exciting!
He was stunned for a long time, and then he said in disbelief: "Is this really the case? β
Yan Song said cautiously: "Your Majesty, this is what Lord Xia Yanxia said to Weichen personally, it must not be fake!" β
When Jiajing heard this, he couldn't help but say anxiously: "What is the current situation in Shanxi, have the Tartars entered the Kou?" β
Yan Song slandered again: "Zeng Mo has always colluded with Lord Xia in private, and has never officially played the imperial court, what is the specific situation in Shanxi, Weichen doesn't know, but the Xianning Marquis Qiuluan has played from time to time, Shaanxi is quite stable, and the Tartars have not moved." β
Hearing this, Jiajing took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and then said slowly: "You have a protΓ©gΓ© who used to serve in Shanxi, I want to know what the specific situation is over there." β
Yan Song's party is all over the government and the opposition, and there are naturally his cronies in Shanxi, but he shook his head and said: "Wechen has always been the only one who is the head of the Xia, the former residence of the protΓ©gΓ©, the township party or something, and the wechen have few contacts. However, Weichen remembered that Xu Jie, the disciple of Nie Bao, the squire of the Ministry of War, was serving in Shanxi at this time, and in order to promote him from the right senator to the right senator in politics two years ago, Lord Nie Bao Nie also had a red eye with Weichen, alas, sometimes, this person is really difficult to do. β
What nonsense are you talking about, what kind of person is difficult to do, difficult to be a person, I am asking you what the specific situation is in Shanxi!
However, Jiajing also heard it, Xu Jie, the disciple of Nie Bao, the squire of the Ministry of War, seems to have served in Shanxi for many years, and he should be familiar with the situation over there, and Xu Jie, who is a rising star in the Yangming lineage, will definitely not shield Xia Yan and Zeng Miao, and ask Xu Jie, it must be right.
He thought for a moment, then said aloud to the door, "Civilization." β
Lu Bing entered in response and said loudly: "Weichen is here." β
Jiajing said without hesitation: "Quickly send someone to pass on my secret decree, and order Shanxi Cheng to announce the specific situation of Shanxi by announcing the political envoy Si You's participation in politics Xu Jie, I want to know what happened to the border army in the three towns of Shanxi." β
Lu Bing didn't say much, and even though he received the order and left, Yan Song sneered in his heart: "Hehe, Lord Shoufu, the lower officials didn't betray you, this is all done by Yang Ming." β
This guy is really vicious, obviously he sold Xia Yan, but he still wants to plant this matter on Yangming's head!
Shanxi is not far from the capital, eight hundred miles urgent, a day or so, Xu Jie received a secret order, it is really a little inexplicable, what is the situation of the Shanxi border army, you ask me what to do?
The soldiers of the border army have been in a mess, and he has naturally heard about it for a long time, but he didn't think about going to the court before, because at this time, the cabinet and the ministry were controlled by Xia Yan and Yan Song.
At this time, the emperor suddenly asked about him, what was going on?
He thought about it for a while, and soon understood that this must be Yan Song's provocation and wanted to use him as a gunman.
Nima, since you're so boring, don't blame me for being unkind.
He even wrote a letter and reported the situation in Shanxi, which roughly means that Weichen heard that due to the unfavorable allocation of Nanjing's household department, the salt merchants failed to send the grain to the designated border town on time.
He didn't lie, what he said was basically the truth, but he just pushed the responsibility to Yan Maoqing, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing.
Jiajing frowned and pondered for a long time when he saw the twist, and then ordered someone to summon Yan Song over.
After the monarch and the ministers saw him, he was not verbose, and directly handed Xu Jie's recital to Yan Song, and then asked: "What does Yan Maoqing mean by this, and how much food and salary did he allocate to the Shanxi border army?" β
He roughly saw a clue to come, I am afraid that there is something greasy here, and it is difficult to say whether the trouble of the border army is because Zeng Mike withheld food and salary or because of the unfavorable allocation of food and salary in Nanjing.
When Yan Song saw the twists and turns, his heart suddenly became angry.
Nima!
Xu Jie, have you eaten too much?
The emperor asked you what the specific situation in Shanxi is, what are you talking about in Nanjing?
Of course, he also knew that Xu Jie was unwilling to be a gunman for him, so he gave him a backhand slap.
So, what's next?
Xu Jie, this kid, as soon as he played like this, Jiajing seemed to see something, in case, Jiajing knew the truth of the matter, it would be troublesome.
He pretended to be looking at the folds carefully, but his mind was thinking about it urgently.
He thought for a while, and then said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the distribution of salt and the allocation of food and salary by the household department in Nanjing are well documented. β
