Why did Jiajing condone Yan Song so much?

This is really incomprehensible, Yan Song was not impeached when he was in power in history, and it is impossible for Yan Song not to know about buying and selling officials in Jiajing, but Jiajing is blind connivance, unprincipled connivance!

What did Jiajing think in his heart?

There is a passage, which is said to have been spoken by Jiajing himself, which is roughly as follows.

The ancients called a certain river a river, and a certain river a river.

The water of a certain river is clear, the water of a certain river is turbid, a certain river is flowing, and a certain river is also flowing.

The ancients said: When a saint comes out, a certain river is clear, but when will a certain river be clear?

The water of a certain river irrigates the fields of several provinces on both sides of the river, and the water of a certain river also irrigates the fields on both sides of several provinces.

Once a river overflows, it needs to be treated, and conversely, once a river overflows, I also need to be treated.

Jiajing means that he uses a certain river as a metaphor for the clear stream in the court, and a certain river as a metaphor for the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the court.

No matter how unbearable Qingliu is, at least they are fighting for power for the country and the people, at least, on the surface, they all say so, when doing things, no matter how they pretend, they have to lean in this direction.

And what are corrupt officials fighting for power, they are purely to satisfy their personal interests, to be greedy for money!

When did they use the proceeds of corruption on national affairs, and when did they use the proceeds of corruption on the people, and they were corrupt and bent the law for their own good!

Although Qingliu is sometimes useless, they at least practice frugality, and will not loot the people's fat and ointment, and the common people can still keep food to eat.

The corrupt officials and corrupt officials are the more powerful they are, they have scavenged the people's fat and ointment, what do the people eat and wear?

is like Yan Song, the silver he is greedy for is too many to count, Yan Shifan, Zhao Wenhua, Yan Maoqing, Yuan Yingshu, etc., everyone has embezzled millions of taels of silver for him, and he is afraid that the income from corruption is more than 10 million taels, but the court has no money to fight, did he pay for the silver?

At that time, the military expenditure required was only more than one million taels, and he could "make up" it with an excuse, but he would rather change rice to mulberry and occupy all the cultivated land that the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang could survive on, so that all the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang had no food to eat, and he would not pay a tael of silver!

Therefore, it is a false proposition to use a certain river and a certain river as a metaphor between a clear stream and a corrupt official and a corrupt official, the water of a certain river and a certain river just looks different, but their functions are still the same, and they can irrigate the fertile fields on both sides of the river, while the "function" of the clear stream and the corrupt officials and corrupt officials are not the same at all.

The purpose of Qingliu is to practice frugality and seek the well-being of the people, and the purpose of corrupt officials is to make money and enjoy glory and wealth for themselves.

Jiajing had a river and a river in his head, and it was seriously flooded, so he could come up with such a ridiculous analogy!

In fact, Jiajing is quibbling, arguing for his absurd behavior, and the reason why he is so indulgent to Yan Song is probably the most important reason.

Because Yan Song fully supported him in cultivating the way of immortality!

There were few people in the Manchu Dynasty who supported his cultivation, only Yan Song, who not only supported him, but also constantly "spent his heart" writing green words to him to help him cultivate, such support is probably the fundamental reason why Yan Song has been favored for a long time.

What is Jiajing mainly doing after being an emperor for more than 40 years?

He is mainly cultivating the way of immortality, not governing the country!

Cultivating the way of immortality is far more important in his heart than governing the country, which is why the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces desperately impeached Yan Song are fine, Fang Shilan Daoxing casually helped him a few times, and said bad things about Yan Song several times in the tone of the sky, and Yan Song was planted.

In other words, no matter how corrupt Yan Song is, Jiajing doesn't care very much, as long as Yan Song can fully support his cultivation, but once Fu Song shows the "will of God" and says that Yan Song is not a good thing, then Yan Song will be finished!

Yang Cong really didn't expect that he had been busy for nearly two months, preparing a box of confessions, and pointed out the scourge of corruption led by Yan Song so clearly, Jiajing hadn't even cleaned up Yan Song.

Jiajing didn't even mean to clean up Yuan Yingshu, he just ordered Yang Cong to arrange for someone to escort Yuan Yingshu and other corrupt officials back to Beijing and hand them over to the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple for trial.

This is clearly to let Yuan Yingshu go, although the Metropolitan Procuratorate is under the control of Zhang Yue, but the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are basically Yan Song's party has the final say, two to one, and the final result can be imagined.

Jiajing is so confused, he really disgusts Yang Cong, Yang Cong can't figure it out left and right, he can't figure it out if he wants to break his head, what should he do?

Sometimes, people will do stupid things once they can't figure it out, and Yang Cong is no exception.

Nima, you're disgusting, aren't you, and I'm disgusting to you.

He decided to disgust Jiajing!

As for how to disgust Jiajing, it is naturally making a fuss about the silver.

When he played, he didn't mention the dirty silver that was confiscated, because copying officials' homes generally requires the emperor's will, although he is the governor of the five provinces and represents the emperor, but it is still illegal to order so many officials' homes to be copied privately.

He originally wanted to wait for Jiajing to issue an order to clean up these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and then lie that he copied the homes of these corrupt officials after receiving the will, and then handed over all the dirty silver he copied to the imperial court, but now he doesn't think so.

Nima, such a disgusting person still wants Lao Tzu to give you all the dirty silver he copied?

Dream!

After he received the holy decree, he began to interrogate those corrupt officials again, the first one was Yuan Yingshu.

Yuan Yingshu was about to be angry with him at this moment, because since Yang Cong ordered him to be locked up last time, there was no follow-up, and for nearly two months, Yang Cong didn't even look at him, let alone interrogate.

This was locked up for two months for no reason, and anyone would be angry, so as soon as Yang Cong brought him to the court, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "The surname is Yang, do you think that being a governor can be lawless?" How dare you hold me for so long for no reason! ”

Yang Cong glanced at him lightly, and then said solemnly: "You are roaring in court, do you know?" According to the law, the official can order someone to drag you out and beat the twenty boards again! ”

Damn, this guy is still so ruthless!

When Yuan Yingshu heard this, he couldn't help but shudder, hitting the board, it was not a joke, the thigh-thick wooden stick was beaten down, and it made people shudder to think about it.

This guy seems to be determined to clean him up, and if he doesn't know each other again, he will be a stupid fork.

Forget it, a few words of scolding can make a mouth happy, the mouth is happy, but the stomach is broken, and he can't draw it, he simply closes his mouth and doesn't say anything.

Yang Cong saw that this guy was honest, so he said slowly: "This official is now solemnly telling you that the court has verified your corruption and perversion of the law, and the emperor has decreed that this official will escort you back to Beijing for trial." ”

Yes!

Yuan Yingshu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

How is it possible, Yang Cong has not interrogated him since that arrest, and he has not confessed anything, how can he be convicted of corruption and perversion of the law?

He couldn't help but ask, "You, you can't be tricked by me, right?" ”

Yang Cong said disdainfully: "Is it necessary for this official to deceive you?" In a few days, the official will arrange for someone to escort you to the capital for trial, what's the point of telling you? ”

This seems to be right, Yang Cong doesn't need to trick him at all, if Yang Cong doesn't arrange for someone to escort him to the capital in a few days, wouldn't he slap himself in the face, isn't it interesting?
