Chapter 645: Depressed Yang Tinghe
Yang Tinghe is 63 years old this year, he is the champion of the scientific examination that year, and he can be described as talented. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info polished in the Ming officialdom in his twenties, and was deeply influenced by Yang Yiqing, a powerful minister of the Ming Dynasty. has been in the officialdom for almost 40 years, and he has long been familiar with everything in the officialdom, and he is extremely tactful. Over the years, he has indeed done a lot for the Ming court and the people, and has been supported by many courtiers.
But it is also undeniable that because he has done a lot of things, Yang Tinghe has inevitably offended many people over the years. In a word, many people hate Yang Tinghe bitterly, but he is the first assistant of the cabinet after all, and he is in a high position, so he really can't do anything to him.
Yang Tinghe also knew that he was getting older, and sooner or later he would have a day to be a scholar. After he became a servant, of course, there will be many protégés and former officials who will respect and love him in the past. But it must not be said that this era is a realistic era after all. There are many people who are very shallow, and there must be many people who change their courts. If Yang Tinghe really goes down and is no longer the head of the cabinet, it means that he has no rights. A person who has lost his rights, everyone respects him and he has a fart, right?
It is precisely because he sees these very clearly that Yang Tinghe has been paying attention to the people around him in recent years, those who can really be trusted and have good character. Of course, such a person needs to be chosen among his relatives. Qin Li, as his son-in-law, naturally pays a lot of attention to Qin Li, a rising star.
Especially Qin Li stabilized the palace with more than two dozen people and cleaned up Jiang Bin. More importantly, Qin Li recommended Jiajing as the emperor, which made Yang Tinghe very happy. This is also Yang Tinghe's thoughts, and their son-in-law coincides.
Of course, the reason why Yang Tinghe chose to make Zhu Houyu the emperor is completely different from Qin Li's choice of Zhu Houyu. In Yang Tinghe's opinion, Zhu Chenxing, the king of Lu, is indeed a character, and he can be regarded as a very talented person. But after all, he is in the prime of life, and it is extremely difficult to control. And Zhu Houxi is still young, and he is just a child in Yang Tinghe's eyes. Such a person is still extremely easy to control. Imperial power and relative power are inherently complementary and contradictory. When the imperial power is greater, the power of the prime minister will inevitably be weakened. For Yang Tinghe, who has been in power for a long time, he doesn't want to lose this right now.
In the first confrontation with Zhu Houxi, Yang Tinghe clearly realized that he might be wrong. Although Zhu Houxi is young, this young boy is very scheming and difficult to control. It can be seen from Zhu Houxi's stubborn choice to enter the capital from Daming Gate and stay in Fengtian Palace. Faced with such an emperor, Yang Tinghe felt threatened.
He secretly thought, I'm old, am I really old? This world is ultimately the world of young people, and it may be time for me to rest. Alas! What will the future Ming court look like, and will the future Ming people be able to get rich and live a worry-free life under the governance of this emperor?
Yang Tinghe couldn't help but be worried. Of course, he was more worried that he might not be a qualified Shoufu in the eyes of this emperor at all, maybe he had already had the idea of replacing himself, but the time was not yet ripe, or he didn't have the courage for the time being. But one day, this emperor's wings will harden, and he will kick me away like kicking Wang Qiong away.
At this time, Yang Tinghe had to seriously consider the relationship with Emperor Jiajing. What makes Yang Tinghe more relieved is that Qin Li has a very good relationship with Jiajing, and he is the most popular person around Jiajing. With his son-in-law, maybe his future will be better. However, now the strength of the son-in-law is obviously not good, and it is precisely with these in mind that the smart Jiajing made Qin Li a general of the Zhenguo from the second grade.
Qin Li is only seventeen years old, and a seventeen-year-old boy is a second-grade member of the imperial court. Although this Zhenguo general is just an idle position, he also has a grade. Maybe after a little waiting, Qin Li will be able to control the power.
Qin Li is his son-in-law, and he really wants to thank his baby daughter. Fortunately, he didn't strongly oppose his daughter to be Qin Li's concubine. Now it seems that I did the right thing at the beginning.
It's been a long time since I've seen my son-in-law and daughter, and I haven't seen my precious granddaughter for a few days. Yang Tinghe, as the head of a hundred officials in the court these days, is competing for power with Emperor Jiajing. The mood was extremely boring, so I brought my wife and came to Qin Li's mansion.
It stands to reason that Yang Tinghe is an old man, and Qin Li should go to visit his father-in-law. But this was an unofficial walk, Yang Tinghe was just looking at his granddaughter, and Qin Li's Zhenguo General's Mansion and Yang Mansion were not far away, so they didn't pay so much attention to it.
When the old man came, Qin Li naturally had to be very polite and respectful.
Yang Tinghe entered the living room, and his wife was led directly by the servant to the back house. After Yang Tinghe sat down in the living room, he glanced at Qin Li and said with a smile, "Xiao Li, you, the general of Zhenguo, are idle, hehe!" It seems that you are indifferent to the affairs of the court, so it's okay, be your idle general, and not participate in the chaos in the court is also very beneficial to you! ”
"Lord Taishan, the son-in-law heard that the court has been very restless these days, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mao Cheng and others have written to say that the emperor wants to change his father, son-in-law, may I ask Lord Taishan's opinion on this matter?" Qin Li asked humbly.
"Well, it's true, Mao Cheng and other old ministers wrote to the emperor to recognize Emperor Hongzhi as his father, and the emperor's original father, King Xing, should be his imperial uncle. In fact, Mao Cheng and other old ministers are also out of consideration for the emperor, responsible for the Ming court, and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, as a father, he also has to support Mao Cheng and other old ministers. Xiao Li must know that Mao Cheng and other old ministers are the pillars and pillars of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor is still young and does not have enough prestige, so this just makes the emperor justified!
Besides, the father is the head of the courtiers, and if he stands on the emperor's side at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to control the courtiers in the future. offended all the courtiers, and he couldn't continue to be an official for his father. So, alas! It's hard to be a father right now. ”
When Yang Tinghe said this, he suddenly paused, glanced at Qin Li, and asked, "Xiao Li, since you have heard about this matter, I don't know what you think in your heart, what are your plans?" ”
Yang Tinghe still attaches great importance to Qin Li's opinion, after all, Qin Li has always been a very measured person and a very assertive person. What's more critical is that Qin Li is Emperor Jiajing's celebrity. In some ways, although Qin Li is just a military attache, his opinion may affect the current turmoil in the court at some point.
