Chapter 1 Undercurrent Surge I

"Smack!" With a crisp sound, a delicate Jingdezhen teacup shattered into a pile of pieces, the tea was sprinkled on the ground and was still steaming, and the maid standing next to her was so frightened that she trembled and wanted to clean up the pieces on the ground, but she didn't have any strength in her body, and she couldn't lift her feet.

"Pavilion Elder, please calm your anger, since the emperor has made up his mind, according to the lower officials, let's stop fighting!" Ouyang Jingzhi said helplessly.

Xu Jie, who had a dark face, didn't speak, but his brows were twisted into a ball, thinking about the situation above the main hall today.

Xu Jie's self-examination is rarely wrong to see people, since the King of Yu had a trend of ascending to the throne, he carefully analyzed the temperament of King Yu, this person is not as strong as the princes of previous dynasties, and can almost be called cowardly in character, and has always been obedient, which can be seen from the difficulties of Yan Song's father and son.

You must know that although Yan Song's father and son are ministers, they have the favor of the emperor, but compared to the flesh and blood affection, this favor is still much worse, once King Yu, who was bullied by Yan Song's father and son, sued in front of the emperor, Yan Song's father and son had to be reprimanded at least a few points.

But King Yu not only did not do this, but even more groveled to Yan Song's father and son, and was not afraid of the despise of the world.

And now, Xu Jie's power is only a lot more than that of Yan Song's father and son back then. Although there was no Emperor Jiajing's favor for Yan Song's father and son, the hundred officials of the imperial court only looked at themselves, and the current cabinet power faintly had the situation of imperial power struggle, and in the major affairs of the imperial court, it was several times to stabilize Emperor Longqing.

Emperor Longqing was a little dissatisfied with his strength, Xu Jie also knew this, but he never worried about it in his heart, he believed that in his lifetime, as long as he did not commit any major crime of rebellion and caused the rebellion of his relatives, Emperor Longqing would definitely not touch himself.

But this time, regarding Shen Chongming's new official position, Emperor Longqing and his own ideas are simply at odds with each other, he is ready for everyone to be promoted and reused, but he is trying to use his idle position to refrigerate Shen Chongming's latest chapter of the Demon Dao Emperor.

Just today, in front of hundreds of officials, Emperor Longqing and himself were about to make trouble because of this matter, which caused the morning dynasty, which could have been completed in half an hour, to be delayed until the afternoon, if it wasn't for his exhaustion, he wouldn't stop talking about this matter.

"Lord Ouyang, you also know the difference between the commander of the Shangzhi Guard and the governor of the Chinese army. Although the former's official rank from the second rank is much worse than the latter's from the first rank, but the power in his hands is too great, the elite of my Ming Dynasty are all in the upper guard, and although the position of the governor is from the first rank, it is an idle errand, as long as Shen Chongming achieves this position, his life will come to an end! Xu Jie sighed and said, Emperor Longqing is to arrange Shen Chongming in the position of the commander of the guard, once Shen Chongming is allowed to sit in this position, there are too many uncertain factors, the general who has a heavy army when he comes out, and the high-powered military department Shangshu who enters the position, just like that, makes him uncontrollable, although he can't suppress him now.

Ouyang Jingzhi didn't understand this, but he also saw the situation in the court today, Emperor Longqing clearly had made up his mind, and even the promotion decree was prepared, and the cabinet passed it.

Now the situation in the court can be said to be incompatible, Emperor Longqing held on to Shen Chongming to be the commander of the upper guard, and Xu Ge Lao also gritted his teeth and had to arch Shen Chongming to the position of the governor of the Chinese army.

Although the cabinet has the right to be returned, but the emperor also has the right to completely deny it, and now the two of them can't talk to each other, what we have to see is who can finally get the support of the ministers, but in Ouyang Jingzhi's view, Xu Jie's current stalemate with Emperor Longqing is really not a wise move, after all, he is the emperor, no matter how he is in a low position, he will also stabilize you, no matter how much the courtiers listen to your Xu Ge Lao's words, it is impossible to completely betray the emperor, after all, you are a high-ranking and powerful emperor and cannot move, they don't have this talisman.

"Elder Ge, the lower officials naturally understand this, but if such a stalemate continues, if the emperor gets angry, I'm afraid this matter will not end well!" Ouyang Jingzhi's words were vague, in fact, he was already worried about Xu Jie's situation, and looking through the history books, most of the courtiers who opposed the emperor did not end well.

"Alas! It's hard to ride a tiger! Xu Jie sighed and said, to tell the truth, Xu Jie now regrets that he is too tough in the court today, so that the emperor's impression of himself is only afraid that it will be worse, but now he has no way to retreat, if he retreats, not only Shen Chongming, a disciple of the high arch, will become completely out of control, but the officials above the court will also have doubts about themselves, people's hearts are scattered, and the team will not be easy to lead.

"Well, it's not too early, so go back early! Rong Benguan think about this matter again! Seeing that Ouyang Jingzhi was about to open his mouth to persuade again, Xu Jie stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Father-in-law, Xia Guan thinks it's better for us to stand on Lord Xu's side, otherwise this time we will really let Shen Chongming sit in the position of the commander of the upper guard, and it will become a big disaster in the future!" Song Qingyang sat down and said to Feng Bao.

"Hehe, little Songzi! You're still a little tender! Feng Bao smiled and waved his hand: "Do you say that Xu Jie's is difficult to deal with, or Shen Chongming's little doll is difficult to deal with!" ”

Song Qingyang was stunned. Although he thought that Shen Chongming was more terrifying than Xu Jie, but listening to the meaning of Feng Bao's words, he must have thought that Xu Jie's was more difficult to deal with, so he followed his meaning and said: "Of course it's Lord Xu, Shen Chongming has only been an official for a few years, how can he compare to Lord Xu who has been up and down in the sea for decades!" ”

"That's it!" Feng Bao smiled, picked up the teacup and took a sip: "At present, Xu Jie's power is monstrous, and the court officials only look at it, and the whole thing is an iron plate that can't be pierced by water, and there is no room for my father-in-law and me to interfere, so if you want to go further, you must move the roadblock of Xu Jie, otherwise my father-in-law and I can only stay here and sit idle every day!" ”

Song Qing raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood, it seemed that Feng Bao was planning to take this opportunity to bring Xu Jie down: "What my father-in-law said is that the junior official will search for criminal evidence when he goes back tonight and impeach Xu Jie as soon as possible!" ”

Now Song Qingyang is the first urgent vanguard under Feng Bao, with his intelligence and wisdom is deeply valued by Feng Bao, no matter how big or small, he likes to call him to his side to discuss the iron-blooded army soul of the anti-Japanese army.

Song Qingyang is also well-behaved, and he is a deep way of patting horses, every time he can shoot Feng Bao in the clouds without a trace, this time is the same, you can't use impeachment to deal with Xu Jie, the best way is to use your strength to fan the flames and aggravate Emperor Longqing's mustard against him, so that Xu Jie can only go home to retire.

But in order to show Feng Bao's ingenuity, Song Qingyang deliberately said this, in order to let Feng Bao guide him.

"Hehe, little Songzi! In the future, things can be done differently from person to person, and you must not copy it rigidly, although this method of impeachment works for others, but it is useless for people like Xu Jie! "Things are exactly according to Song Qingyang's vision.

Song Qingyang showed a surprised expression on his face, and hurriedly raised his head and said, "Please also ask your father-in-law to teach you!" ”

"Hehe, think about it, are the officials of this court listening to you? Or listen to Xu Jie's words? Feng Bao sold Guanzi, only in this way can he better reflect his IQ.

Song Qingyang didn't dare to continue to pretend to be stupid, if he was too stupid, the guild would think that he was not suitable to be his brainchild, then he would lose his wife and fold his soldiers: "Xia Guan understands, if he does this, it will definitely cause Xu Jie's jealousy, but instead of hurting him, he will put himself in it!" ”

"The children can be taught!" After dragging a sentence, Feng Bao analyzed the deeper stakes for Song Qingyang in detail: "At that time, not only will you get into trouble, but you will also save Xu Jie once, presumably he has now found that the situation is very unfavorable to him, maybe he will take this opportunity to impeach him to cool down Shen Chongming's matter for a while, as long as the attention of the courtiers is diverted, even if he loses once, he will have no loss!" ”

Song Qingyang's performance was vivid, and he actually forced himself to break out of a cold sweat, wiped it with a frightened face, got up and said to Feng Bao: "Thank you father-in-law for mentioning it, the lower official has been taught!" ”

"Excuse me, it's already very good to be able to understand these at your age, and in the future, you will see more, listen and learn more, and you will definitely be out of the blue!" Feng Bao had a satisfied smile on his face, and he could give others a point, and he faintly felt like a teacher.

"Yes, the lower officials must remember the teachings of the father-in-law!" After a deep thanks, Song Qingyang asked, "Then dare to ask my father-in-law, what do we dare to do next?" ”

"This is also simple, let's see what things will become, if the contradiction between Xu Jie and the emperor becomes deeper and deeper, then we will add another fire to him, and then my father-in-law will come forward to the emperor to say a few good words for him, and the emperor will hate him even more!" Feng Bao's face was full of color, such a method, I am afraid that only he can think of it in the world.

Song Qingyang was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Feng Bao's purpose was? This is to hold Xu Jie high! The higher you stand, the more thunder you lead, and at that time the emperor's anger will completely explode, after all, no master likes his subordinates to unite everyone around.

Although the method is good, Song Qingyang is still a little worried when he thinks of the result: "Father-in-law, if you do this, will it be unfavorable to you!" ”

"Hehe, don't worry, my father-in-law has been by the emperor's side for more than 20 years, what kind of person is the emperor's heart, and the emperor will definitely think that my father-in-law is deceived by this old guy Xu Jie, even if there is anger, it will all fall on Xu Jie's head!" Feng Bao said with an indifferent face, what kind of friendship is he and the emperor, even if he makes a mistake, the emperor will not punish him for his hard work for so many years.

Song Qingyang pondered carefully, and thought about this matter thoroughly, if he wanted to settle down in the court, the best reliance was on the emperor, take the current Shen Chongming as an example, because of the discord with Xu Gelao, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty can be regarded as his opponent, but in this case, he can still prosper in official fortune, relying on the trust of the emperor, it is really a shit luck for this bastard,
