Chapter 648: Xia Yan
Yang Tinghe was slightly stunned, and he was excited. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info recommended a Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mao Cheng a while ago, but Mao Cheng always worked against Jiajing, which made Yang Tinghe more or less uncomfortable. Of course, Mao Cheng is his Yang Tinghe's person, in fact, in some ways, Mao Cheng's actions were instructed by Yang Tinghe.
This time, he asked himself to recommend the first assistant of the cabinet, which was Jiajing's incomparable trust in himself. And looking at what Jiajing said is extraordinarily sincere, it is definitely not polite. Yang Tinghe pondered slightly and said, "Xia Yanzhong, the second assistant of the cabinet, is upright and upright, and can be the first assistant. ”
Xia Yan, the word is public, and he is a native of Guixi, Jiangxi. Very talented, is a Jinshi in the Zhengde period. At the beginning, he was appointed to the pedestrian, and then he was appointed to the military department, and he was conceited with integrity and daring. Now Xia Yan is still very young, but because of his talent and the appreciation of Empress Dowager Zhang, he soon entered the cabinet. After a few years in the cabinet, he became a deputy to the cabinet. In the cabinet, Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, is respected. Because Yang Tinghe has the status of a university scholar, he is a member of the first class. And the second assistant Xia Yan is simply a second assistant, but in fact, he is just a small five-rank official.
Although the official position is very low, Xia Yan is a person who dares to speak. In many cases, the official affairs of the cabinet are decided by Yang Tinghe alone. But this Xia Yan was repeatedly involved, which made Yang Tinghe very annoyed. Because of this, the relationship between Yang Tinghe and Xia Yan is very tense.
Although Zhu Houxi has only been emperor for a month, he knows a lot about things in the cabinet. He never imagined that Yang Tinghe would recommend Xia Yan regardless of his previous suspicions. This made Jiajing look at Yang Tinghe with admiration. Secretly, don't look at Yang Ting and this person as an old fox, but how to say that he still thinks about the court in his heart and thinks about the court. Alas! It's a pity that he died all of a sudden.
Yang Tinghe's sharp eyes were like watching the fire, and he could naturally detect Jiajing's psychology. He smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has never had a good relationship with Xia Yan, but this Xia Yan also has his talent, which is very rare." If he is the first assistant, I think there will be some changes in my Ming court.
Lao Chen just said, Da Ming is the world of young people after all, Xia Yan is still young, and he has a lot of momentum! The old minister strongly recommended Xia Yan, and hoped that the emperor would be gracious. ”
Jiajing nodded lightly and did not speak.
Yang Tinghe retreated, and Jiajing sat alone in the Fengtian Palace, looking a little gloomy. Yang Tinghe left, he was still a little lost. Yang Qing has been the first assistant for so many years, and he said that he was still leaving. Alas! Could it be that this emperor made the ministers chill?
Then I thought that I am the emperor, and the emperor should be the only one who says his word. If you don't say it, you can't deter the ministers, so I, the emperor, still have a fart?
The little eunuch Huang Jin walked quietly, and somehow appeared beside Jiajing, he said in a shrill voice, "Your Majesty, the old one doesn't go, and the new one doesn't come." Yang Ge Lao Zhishi has gone home, doesn't the emperor have his son-in-law, General Qin? In the eyes of the minions, Qin Li is not worse than Yang Ge Lao. ”
"You know what? Qin Li naturally did the first assistant, but now is the time. Qin Li is the same age as me, if he is now the first assistant, then what will this old minister of the Manchu Dynasty think? will say that I have no one to use, and will say that I will not use people, that will chill the hearts of many old ministers!
Of course, I am naturally not afraid of chilling the hearts of the old ministers, but now that Qin Li is the first assistant, his official position has been promoted too quickly, and he can't convince the public!
In a word, Qin Li's current prestige is still not enough! In fact, I also know that Qin Li has no problem being the first assistant, and it will even be better than Yang Tinghe, Xia Yan and others. He can help me take care of all the complicated government affairs.
Alas! Let Qin Li hide in the position of General Zhenguo for a few years, and he is not in a hurry at this time. Jiajing spoke almost incoherently and was a little messy. Just like his mood right now, seven up and down, messy and overwhelmed.
"Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time for the Emperor to rest. It's not good for the emperor to stay up like this, taking care of the dragon body is the most important thing! Huang Jin said softly.
"Yes! After resting, tomorrow the court will issue an edict to let Xia Yan be the first assistant. I want to see what this Xia Yan thinks about my father's change? ”
Jiajing then stood up and slowly walked to the dormitory with Huang Jin's support. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked, "Huang Jin, what has Qin Li been doing these two days?" Did I find the etiquette talent he was looking for? Why haven't you seen him for the past two days? ”
"Back to the emperor, the slave really heard a little bit of Qin Li's information, the Zhenguo General's Mansion has been closed for the past two days, and the slave heard that Qin Li seems to be in the mansion, as for the matter of looking for etiquette talents, the slave didn't see Qin Li make any moves." Huang Jin said uncertainly.
Speaking of which, Huang Jin is still very clear about the relationship between Qin Li and Jiajing. The relationship between Huang Jin and Qin Li is also really good. But after all, Huang Jin is Jiajing's personal eunuch, and he is extremely loyal to Jiajing. Jiajing asked about Qin Li, and he had to answer truthfully.
"Humph! This Qin Li, seeing that he couldn't find a great talent in etiquette for me three days later, how did he explain to me. Jiajing said with a little anger.
"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, Princess Yongchun went to Qin Li's Mansion and stayed in Qin Li's Mansion for a day!" Huang Jin said busily.
Obviously, he was reminding Jiajing that Qin Li was Jiajing's quasi-brother-in-law.
"I really don't know what kind of fame he is doing, I always think about my sister, and I forget about serious things." A wry smile appeared at the corner of Jiajing's mouth. Sighing secretly, Qin Li is young after all, and he still needs to wait for tempering.
……
Three days passed quickly, and on the evening of this day, Qin Li rushed into the palace. first went to the harem to see Empress Dowager Zhang and Empress Xia, and then came to see Jiajing.
In the past two days, Jiajing has not mentioned the matter of changing his father in the court, Xia Yan has been the first assistant, and there are many government affairs that need to be handed over to Yang Tinghe, and there seems to be no time to talk about it. Mao Cheng and other old ministers also seemed to have forgotten the matter of asking Jiajing to change his father a few days ago. No one mentioned this matter, and it seemed to be put on hold.
Jiajing knew that the ministers were waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a bigger opportunity to attack themselves.
Jiajing saw Qin Li with a cold face, and didn't even give Qin Li a seat. He asked in a deep voice, "Brother Qin, the three-day deadline has arrived, I wonder if Brother Qin has found the etiquette he is looking for for me?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, Weichen has not been idle for a moment these days, and he is anxiously looking for etiquette talents all day long. Alas! These three days have really tired Weichen enough! However, thanks to the emperor's Hongfu, Wei Chen finally found a talent, but I don't know if the emperor can be satisfied? Qin Li replied with a smile. (To be continued.) )
