Chapter 634: The Book of Rites
Yang Tinghe has been mixed in the officialdom of Daming for so many years, and he has experienced a lot of things, and he has seen all kinds of people. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Over the years, he has adapted to everything in officialdom, and it is no exaggeration to say that he has long been a veritable old fritter in officialdom.
In the officialdom, what is particular about intrigue and deceit is self-deceitful, but both sides still have to save face for each other on the surface. Yang Tinghe likes this kind of officialdom and likes this kind of battle. Now he is the chief assistant of the inner family, especially when Zhengde was the emperor, most of the power in the court is in his hands. Rao is Yang Tinghe has always been low-key, and he has slowly developed a personality that never suffers.
Zhu Houxi is just a child in his eyes, and when a child becomes an emperor, doesn't he have to listen to him honestly in his opinion? But what he never expected was that Zhu Houxi would cleverly trick him. This made Yang Tinghe really difficult to accept for a while.
But no matter what, the opposite side is the current emperor, no matter how difficult it is for him to accept it, he has to accept it at the moment. One of his old faces was flushed, and his eyes were almost bursting with fire. Zhu Houxi looked at him with a smile, and his heart was not at peace at this time. Hehe! The first assistant of the cabinet, I also want you to fully understand that I am the emperor, and the world of the Ming Dynasty is mine. You guys, huh! It's just my salaryman. But after all, he is Qin Li's father-in-law, and Qin Li is about to become his brother-in-law. Besides, speaking of Yang Tinghe, he also made efforts to become the emperor himself. He's so old again, and he still has to give him some face when necessary.
Thinking of this, Zhu Houxi smiled slightly, "Yang Qing, in fact, I summoned you today to ask you to tell me who will be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites next."
Yang Qing, you also know that I have just ascended the throne, and I am not very familiar with the many ministers in this court. Speaking of which, I can trust Yang Qing, so please ask Yang Qing to provide a candidate! ”
When Zhu Houxi said this, his face was peaceful, and he even had a look of humility. This made Yang Ting and the wounded heart more or less comforted.
He is the first assistant of the cabinet, Wang Qiong is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the relationship with this Wang Qiong is not very good, Wang Qiong may be beneficial to himself when he is taken down! Yes, you must master the Ministry of Rites. Candidates?
Yang Tinghe pondered slightly, and then made up his mind. said, "Your Majesty, Mao Cheng, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, can be served!" ”
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites is the official of the third rank, which is equivalent to the deputy minister of the Ministry of Rites. Wang Qiong fell, and it can be said that the deputy minister is replaced. It's just that this way it's cheaper. Mao Cheng picked up a book of the Ministry of Rites for nothing without an inch of effort, and became a member of the imperial court.
However, Mao Cheng has always been very close to Yang Tinghe, although she does not have much ability, but she is respectful to Yang Tinghe, and she is Yang Tinghe's person.
Zhu Houxi didn't understand Yang Tinghe's thoughts, but fortunately, today he wanted to give Yang Tinghe a face.
In Zhu Houxi's opinion, no matter who this Mao Cheng is and how capable he is, if he doesn't listen to himself, then the current Wang Qiong will be his fate in the future. Therefore, Zhu Houxi almost didn't even think about it, so he said, "Just rely on Yang Qing and let Mao Cheng be promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!" ”
Yang Tinghe's heart suddenly bloomed.
Boom! It's as simple as that, just one sentence of oneself is the fulfillment of Mao Cheng, hehe! Mao Chengna, how can you thank me Yang Tinghe. From now on, you don't have to obediently listen to my Yang Tinghe's command.
Mao Cheng, the word Xianqing, the number Baizhai, the late change number Sanjiang, the south of Kunshan people. Hongzhi was the first in the sixth year of Jinshi and was awarded the revision. During the Zhengde period, he has been a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. Because of Lao Wang Qiong in front of him, he has never had a chance to be promoted. Now they are all sixty years old, and there is no hope of promotion. But suddenly he became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites under the recommendation of Yang Tinghe, which can be described as a favor of the old man.
Yang Tinghe said goodbye to Jiajing and left the palace.
Zhu Houxi did things really neatly, and on the second day of the court meeting, he immediately dismissed Wang Qiong from the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites and was replaced by Mao Cheng. Lao Wang Qiong never expected that the emperor would end up with such a fate less than a month after he ascended the throne. He knew that this matter was the emperor's mind, but after all, he couldn't provoke the emperor, so he could only vent all his anger on Yang Tinghe.
Although the court hall is a very sacred place, the court hall of the Ming Dynasty seems to have changed its taste. There has always been a habit of ministers making trouble in the court, quarreling with the emperor, and quarreling with each other. Wang Qiong scolded bitterly, "Yang Tinghe, you don't have to be proud, the old man was defeated by you today, and the old man has no regrets." But you also have to remember that the end of the old man today is your end tomorrow, Yang Tinghe! Villain, you are an authentic villain! The old man is going to Nanjing and waiting for you! ”
After saying that, he didn't say goodbye to Jiajing, and rushed out of the palace angrily.
Boom! This emperor is not simple, he really dares to do it! Wang Qiong has such deep qualifications in the court, and he will take it when he says it. Imperial power is supreme, and you must be careful in the future. It's the Jiajing Dynasty now, but it's not the time for Zhengde! Speaking of which, Emperor Zhengde is really a good emperor, at least he is not so ruthless in cleaning up ministers!
The ministers were all trembling, and they were in awe of Emperor Jiajing for a while. Jiajing may have a very thorough understanding of the psychology of the ministers, and his resolute eyes looked at the back of Wang Qiong leaving, and a cold smile appeared on his face.
Hum! It is to let you know that going against me will never end well. With his lesson, see which of you dares to make a mistake before me. You must know that I am the lord of the world and the boss of the court.
Hehe! From this point of view, he has a bit of the taste of a tyrant who prospers with me, and perishes with those who oppose me. Jiajing coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "It has been more than a month since I ascended the throne, but there has always been one thing that has not been resolved!" That is, my father is still a king of Xing, and I am the emperor, but it is a little inappropriate for him to be the king of Xing. I want to let my father be the emperor! And my mother, she is only a princess, that is also inappropriate, my mother is the queen mother! ”
Jiajing said this somewhat casually, but every sentence was as deafening as thunder in the ears of the ministers.
What kind of rule is this, if you become the emperor and don't go to Dong'anmen, it's just that. Now let your father be the emperor and let your mother be the queen mother, where is such a reason?
You must know that you are Emperor Zhengde above, that is the Hongzhi lineage! You, the emperor, are just a sideline after all. But now that you're doing this, doesn't that mean that you are the king of the king? It's no different from a change of dynasty. I definitely can't follow you this time.
Almost all of the ministers thought so. (To be continued.) )
