Volume 4 Chapter 44 Fooling
Jiajing is really easy to fool, especially like Yan Song, a close minister who has gained his favor, and if he wants to fool him, it is as simple as drinking porridge.
In history, Yan Song can be described as a standout, fooling Jiajing for more than 20 years, enjoying all the glory and greedy for countless wealth.
It's a pity that there is another Gu Kexue at this time, or Yang Cong, he wants to fool Jiajing, it seems that it is not so easy.
Last time, he was almost implicated because of Zhao Wenhua's case, and he finally sold his godson Zhao Wenhua to clear up his involvement and regain Jiajing's trust.
This time, there was another Tu Dashan, and Yang Cong even directly said that Tu Dashan bribed Yan Song to get support, could he get out of it?
Regardless of whether he can get rid of his involvement or not, at least, his image in Jiajing's heart will be greatly reduced.
Corrupt officials and corrupt officials have been involved with him again and again, and Jiajing is not surprised that he does not have a trace of guilt in his heart.
Yang Cong didn't think that he could pull him off the horse in one fell swoop, because Yang Cong knew very well in his heart that as long as Jiajing didn't dislike him, his position would be as stable as Mount Tai.
If you want to pull him down, Jiajing's attitude is the key, as for any crime, charge or something, it is useless.
Therefore, Yang Cong disgusted him in front of Jiajing as soon as he seized the opportunity, and slowly consumed Jiajing's favor in him, believing that in the long run, one day, Jiajing would get bored with him, and by that time, he would be finished.
This time, Tu Dashan, a traitorous villain, was involved with Yan Song again, and Jiajing was really dissatisfied with him in his heart.
What is going on with you every day, why haven't you seen any capable officials involved with you, but those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, one by one, all regard you as a backer, how much are you greedy?
Could it be that you are really the backer of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials!
Jiajing looked at Tu Dashan's confession, and really had the urge to curse.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then waved his hand: "Okay, the confession stays, you can step back first." ”
Gu Kexue didn't say much, and directly retreated, but Jiajing sat there in a daze, falling into deep thought.
This Yan Song, is there really a problem?
He was stunned for a long time, and then said to the door: "It is rumored that Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, has come to meet him." ”
Yan Song is actually not in a good mood these days, Zhao Wenhua is according to his wishes, and he dies honestly, but he can't relax at all.
Yang Cong, this kid, is not a fuel-efficient lamp, this guy went to the southeast, over there, I'm afraid it will change again.
To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to the income from maritime trade, because the maritime giants themselves couldn't make much money, and that money was nothing compared to the income from salt.
If he really valued the benefits of maritime trade, he would not let the maritime giants act as agents, and he was not without people, if the profits of maritime trade could be more than Yanyin, he would have sent someone to take over a long time ago.
He mainly values the strength of those official eunuch families in the southeast, you know, the entire Ming Dynasty, except for Jiangxi, belongs to the southeast provinces have the most officials, it can be said that controlling the southeast controls most of the officials in the imperial court, and the influence of these officials in the court is not small.
Originally, after Zhao Wenhua sat in the southeast, many official eunuch families in the southeast had begun to change their doors and fell to his side, but when Yang Cong went, those guys were afraid that the wind would blow on both sides and fall to the side of others, which was what worried him the most.
How can this be done?
He came to the Qianqing Palace with a full stomach, and he didn't notice that Jiajing's eyes on him were a little different from before.
After the monarch and the ministers saluted, Jiajing suddenly asked inexplicably: "Weizhong, can you know Tu Dashan, the governor of Yingtian?" ”
When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
He didn't know that Tu Dashan had been arrested by Yang Cong, because Yang Cong was too fast, and the news was blocked strictly, the post stations in the southeast were all monitored by him, and the official documents that were urgent for eight hundred miles had to be checked, so it was estimated that it would take a few days for the news of Tu Dashan's arrest to reach his ears.
Why did Jiajing suddenly ask about this?
He thought about it, and then said cautiously: "Tu Dashan, Wei Chen has met a few times when he was serving in Nanjing, if you want to say that you know each other, you are also an official in Nanjing, then you naturally know each other, but you are not very familiar with it." ”
What he said seems to be very different from what Yang Cong said.
When Jiajing heard this, he asked again: "What do you think of the so-called maritime giants?" ”
What does this mean?
When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help but be vigilant in his heart, the emperor seems to be a little wrong today, Tu Dashan for a while, and a wealthy maritime merchant for a while, could it be that Tu Dashan also had an accident?
Thinking of this, he was more careful and said: "The so-called maritime giants have such rumors in the southeastern provinces, but they are just rumors, whether it is the Longxi Chen family and the Zhangpu Lin family, or the Yuyao Xie family and the Ningbo Tu family, they have not said that they are maritime giants. ”
This is true, it can be said that it is not leaky, what kind of maritime giants, I have heard of it, what's wrong?
Jiajing only felt that he was scratching his boots, and he couldn't scratch the place, so he simply asked directly: "Do you know that Tu Dashan took advantage of his position to restart the Longjiang Shipyard and build warships for pirates and pirates, and make muskets and artillery?" ”
Yes!
Of course, Yan Song knew that the reason why Tu Dashan did this was because he instructed Zhao Wenhua to arrange it.
Question, he can't let Jiajing know!
This matter has been exposed, Tu Dashan must have had an accident, Yang Cong, this kid, is really powerful.
He was already shocked in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to hear it for the first time, and asked curiously: "Is there such a thing?" Your Majesty, Weichen dared to ask, who did you listen to? ”
Is this guy really irrelevant to this?
Jiajing looked at Yan Song's expression, and felt a little relieved in his heart, after all, Yan Song was his most favored courtier, of course he hoped that this Yan Song was not the kind of traitorous villain who would do anything to achieve his goals.
He simply picked up the confession on the dragon case and said lightly: "This is Qingfeng just passed from Nanzhili, you can take a look." ”
Yan Song hurriedly took the confession and looked at it carefully.
Looking at it, he already knew that this Yang Cong was not a drunkard, but on his head as the head of the cabinet.
This guy's methods are really a bit despicable, but they are also quite effective, Jiajing, a stunned young man, is so fooled.
He knew that Jiajing had already believed Yang Cong's words and confirmed Tu Dashan's crimes, and now it was up to him to see if he, the head of the cabinet, was really involved.
It seems that the matter in the southeast is not to be thought about for the time being, with Yang Cong here, he doesn't want to get a little cheap.
As for Tu Dashan, this chess piece is also wasted, so hurry up and throw it away.
Thinking of this, he pretended to be indignant, and said quite annoyed: "This Tu Dashan, what does it mean, what does it mean to uphold justice, he has done this kind of thing, how can Weichen give him justice, he is simply nonsense!" ”
When Jiajing heard this, he suddenly asked again: "Then what do you say about this Tu Dashan?" ”
Yan Song said without hesitation: "Of course it is a dismissal investigation, how to deal with it, Qingfeng is also, believe anything, people Tu Dashan is clearly talking nonsense, how can Weichen accept bribes from such people." ”
That's right!
Jiajing really didn't want to believe that Yan Song, who he favored, would be the backer of those corrupt officials, and when he heard Yan Song say this, he was slightly relieved: "Well, according to what you said, Tu Dashan will be dismissed and investigated." ”
This idiot is really foolish!
When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help but sigh secretly, fortunately, Jiajing is not a shrewd person, otherwise, he would really be a little confused this time.
