Emperor Jiajing ordered Lu Fang to unfold the scroll, looked at it carefully, and said, "I saw that there were indeed four gamblers rolling the dice in the painting. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But there is no mark on the mouth of the dice thrower. ”

Shoufu Zhai Luan fanned the flames on the side: "The bold Chen Di dares to tease the emperor, you are bullying the king, do you know?" ”

Chen Di said unhurriedly: "The emperor is Mingjian." This bet on the sieve, rolling three sixes is called a leopard. The dealer throws a leopard to kill. There are already two sixes in the painting, which means that if you roll another six, the dice roller will kill them all. The mouth must have shouted 'six'. "Qingming Riverside Picture" depicts the scenery of Bianliang in Tokyo during the Song Dynasty, and the people of Bianliang in the Song Dynasty said that "six" is an accent, and the people in the real painting should have their mouths closed. The Min people say 'six', but they open their mouths. If the dice thrower in this picture is open-mouthed, it must be fake. If he keeps his mouth shut, the minister will not be able to distinguish the authenticity. ”

Emperor Jiajing asked Lu Fang to take out a diora and look at it carefully: "If it is really as Chen Aiqing said, the mouth of the dice thrower in the painting is open, it seems that this painting is a fake!"

Yan Song clapped his hands on the side and said, "Wonderful, wonderful." I didn't expect the painters in Fujian to have such a scheming. ”

Zhai Luan was not convinced, and he gave the head of the Hanlin Academy, Hu Zigao, a look.

This Master Hu is also Zhai Luan's henchman, but he is an old pedant.

Master Hu didn't dare to tell a lie in front of the emperor, but just whispered: "What Chen Di said seems to be very reasonable. ”

Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed and said: "It seems that this painting must be fake!" It's ridiculous how many ministers in the court who like calligraphy and painting, but no one can match the insight of a fourteen-year-old boy! ”

Yan Song kowtowed at the right time and said, "The ministers are stupid." ”

The loyal ministers all knelt down and shouted in unison: "The ministers are stupid. ”

Emperor Jiajing looked at Chen Di with a smile: "Chen Aiqing, you just said that you are still an alternate in the Ministry of Officials?" How do I remember that I issued an edict a few days ago to add you to a third-level appointment? Zhai Shoufu, you are in charge of the ministry, why hasn't this matter been done yet? Could it be that you take my edict as the wind in your ears? Such a young wizard who can write and martial arts is not good at making good use of it, and you are not going to fight this official department Shangshu anymore? ”

Chen Di was happy in his heart, Your Majesty, you can be regarded as getting to the point.

Yan Song is also happy. The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six ministries and manages the appointment of officials in the world. Zhai Luan controls the officials, which is really unfavorable to the Yan Party. If the emperor can use Chen Di to remove Zhai Luan from the post of secretary of the ministry, it would be the best.

Zhai Luan is worthy of being a person who has been in the officialdom for many years, he calmed down a little, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, this Chen Di is indeed a rare genius. Chen thought, this kind of genius should be placed where I need it most. For example, the last time he was appointed to Qinyang, he treated the disaster and famine and rehabilitated the people. This time, the minister intended to send him to a more important position. ”

Emperor Jiajing asked, "Where?" ”

Zhai Luan said: "The term of office of the prefect of Taizhou, Zhejiang will expire in one month. The minister plans to send Chen Di to take over the new Taizhou prefect in a month! ”

Chen Di was shocked. This Taizhou area was a place where the Japanese were rampant in the middle of Jiajing. If I remember correctly, in the past 20 years, four Taizhou prefects have died due to Japanese robbers. Among them, two were killed in battle, and two were invaded into the Taizhou Mansion by the Japanese Invaders, who violated the Ming law of beheading those who lost their land, and were ordered to die. My God, I just got out of the wolf's den in Qinyang, and I want to be pulled closer to the tiger's den in Taizhou by Zhai Luan!

Yan Song was even more shocked in his heart. You must know that Chen Di's "father" Chen Kezhen was captured by the Japanese when he was inspecting military affairs in Taizhou Mansion and voted for the Japanese invaders! Although he Yan Cifu entangled his henchmen and compiled a series of evidence that Chen Kezhen killed the enemy and martyred the country, Emperor Jiajing also recognized those evidences. But Chen Kezhen's whereabouts are still unknown! In case Chen Di met Chen Kezhen in Taizhou, wouldn't it be a goof?

What a scheming Shoufu Zhai Luan! This also shows that the people who can enter the Ming cabinet are all the best of the best!

Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment and said: "Taizhou is raging with the Japanese bandits, and I think that since Chen Aiqing can ride a donkey to break tens of thousands of anti-thieves, he will definitely be able to pacify the Japanese bandits!" It was played according to Zhai Shoufu. ”

Chen Di panicked in his heart, it's over, it's over, this time it's destined to die! They are not hungry people with scythes and hoes! To put it bluntly, these would-be bandits are armed bandits, or armed bandits with strong martial arts who have flown over from Japan!

According to the history of the Ming Dynasty, before Qi Jiguang formed the Qi army, the Ming official army and the Japanese were repeatedly defeated. What's more, dozens of Japanese robbers actually hit the city of Nanjing!

Forget it, since it's nine deaths and one life, it's better to let it go!

Chen Di said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a reluctant request. ”

Emperor Jiajing said: "Speak." ”

Chen Di said: "The minister is going to serve as the prefect of Taizhou, and I hope that the emperor will hand over the command of Taizhou Wei to the minister!" ”

The Ming Dynasty has always used literature to control weapons. There is nothing wrong with civilian moderation of military generals. However, Chen Di, the prefect of Taizhou, is only a fourth-grade official, but the Taizhou Wei commander is a third-grade official. It stands to reason that only the governor of Zhejiang can directly command the Taizhou Weisuo army.

Zhai Luan said: "Your Majesty, Chen Di's request seems to be out of line. ”

Emperor Jiajing's memory improved at this time: "When I wanted to appoint Chen Di as the champion, I said that the rules are not broken. But you stopped me, and Wang Qigong still said to me that Chen Di was suspected of being disrespectful in his exam papers. Last time, I listened to you, and I only named him the first one. The champion, Bangyan, and Tanhua are now all sitting in the Hanlin Courtyard, holding a comfortable and easy house, what do they do? However, this second-class leader cured the famine, rehabilitated the people, and made great contributions to the imperial court! ”

Zhai Luan couldn't hear the dissatisfaction from Emperor Jiajing's tone, and he quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

Emperor Jiajing paused, and then said: "I have allowed Chen Aiqing to play, not only can you control the soldiers and horses of Taizhou, but also Taizhou Weizhong, from the chief military officer to the guerrilla and general, you have the right to appoint and dismiss at will!" ”

Yan Song came out of class: "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Jiajing glanced at Yan Song dissatisfiedly: "What, do you want to sing against me together today?" ”

Yan Song said: "The minister doesn't dare. The minister just felt that Chen Di was just a fourth-grade official, and the arbitrary appointment and dismissal of the military attache of Taizhou Wei seemed to be not authoritative enough. At present, the minister is also the secretary of the military department, and the minister thinks that Chen Di can be rewarded with the title of the military department, and it is more appropriate to use the title of the military department to control the Taizhou guard officers and soldiers. ”

All the ministers were shocked.

Daming has a strict reward system. The duty of the feudal officials is to pacify the army and the people, and the governor will generally be given the title of squire of the reward department, and the title of secretary of the governor of the reward department. Rewarded with the titles of military secretary and squire, although you can't have the real power of the military department secretary and left and right squire, it can allow you to have nominal authority.

Chen Di is only the prefect of the fourth grade, and there is no precedent for the rank of squire of the military reward department in the Ming Dynasty.

Yan Song has regarded Chen Di as a party, and thinks that Chen Di is a person who does great things, so he spares no effort to put gold on Chen Di.

You must know that the reason why this Yan Ge old man has been able to stand in the Jiajing Dynasty for decades is that in addition to writing good words, in addition to being able to rectify people, kill people, and use people! Those people used by Yan Song are inseparable from the locality, the six ministries, and the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty is inseparable from those people used by Yan Song, and Emperor Jiajing is naturally inseparable from Yan Song.

Yan Song is determined to support Chen Di to take on a big responsibility. Emperor Jiajing also liked Chen Di.

Emperor Jiajing said: "Yan Ci's words are reasonable, prescriptive, Chen Di has the rank of squire of the military department, and he is appointed as the prefect of Taizhou!" It can control Taizhou's guards and horses! ”

After hearing this, Chen Di kowtowed and said, "The ministers are grateful!" ”
