Wei Shui said that the people who hold the power are all hardworking and tired ghosts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

But Zhu Houxi obviously doesn't think so, is keen on power, and indulges in it.

After Yang Yiqing entered the cabinet, the cabinet was obviously no longer as monolithic as it used to be. With the support of this old minister of Yunwen and Yunwu, Emperor Jiajing felt that he was less bound and a lot more comfortable in whatever he did.

As soon as he relaxed, there would be chaos, Wei Shui had already guessed that Zhu Houyu would not be willing to be lonely, but he didn't expect that this time the center of the turmoil would be led to him by Zhu Houyu.

Wenyuan Pavilion.

Located in the eastern part of the Forbidden City, this most inconspicuous house, since the establishment of the cabinet, has gone through countless snow, rain, wind and frost, and has survived until now, and the direction of authority has been fought from the inside to the outside, and from the outside to the inside. In the palace, above the government and the opposition, conspiracy to compete for power and profit is happening all the time.

And at this moment, in front of the ministers, it is another difficult thing to solve.

Or it can also be said that for Yang Tinghe, this matter is very tricky. But if the person sitting here is his son Yang Shen, it won't be tricky at all for that long time.

All history is contemporary history, and it is the character bonus of countless contemporary people that determines the direction of history.

"Shousuke, I can't agree to this!" The one who raised the objection was Jiang Mian, a bachelor who had just been appointed as the second assistant to the cabinet.

But Yang Tinghe, who was sitting in the first place, frowned, and his eyes never left the holy decree that had just been sent to the cabinet on the table.

In terms of the holy decree, Zhu Houxi obviously showed a look of rewarding meritorious deeds, but he only rewarded a few people. Most of these people have strange names, and a few of them have never been heard of by Yang Tinghe. The only thing he felt familiar with was probably Wei Shui, who was in the first place.

There are many different reasons for rewarding them, and this is not a reason for the cabinet to be entangled. And the people who are ranked behind Wei Shui's name have all been sealed by Jinyiwei, Jinyiwei has always been a royal pro-army, and it doesn't matter how Zhu Houxi wants to toss, and it is not where the contradiction lies. The real contradiction lies in the reward for Wei Shuifeng.

The excuses are even more far-fetched than the excuses of the latter ones, and not only did he remove Wei Shui's guilt, but this whimsical His Majesty was even ready to make him a real person, and ordered him to rule the three palaces of Jingshi Chaotian, Xianling, and Lingji, and to lead Taoism, and also rewarded him with a purple jade belt and a gold, jade, silver, and ivory seal.

Such a reward made all the cabinet ministers stunned. But if Feng Xiaoxiao is here at this time, he can tell them very clearly that such a reward is not given to Wei Shui at all in history, but to a very important Taoist priest in the Jiajing Dynasty, who was born in Longhu Mountain and studied under Zhengyi, whose name is "Shao Yuanjie".

Maybe it's because when Wei Shui was in Xingwangfu, he wore a Taoist robe to see Emperor Jiajing. Or maybe it was because Wei Shuitou told Emperor Jiajing about the song of baked cakes, and later helped Jiajing and the courtiers to fight in the ring again and again. Emperor Jiajing, who was lonely, helpless left and right, and had been obsessed with Taoism since he was a child, regarded Wei Shui as something that really understood Taoism, or even a real person.

But these are all speculations by others, and Emperor Jiajing's real idea is to focus the courtiers' attention on Wei Shui.

Wei Shui is too unobtrusive now.

He was bent on hiding behind and avoiding the strife of the imperial court, and although some people saw him as a candidate who could persuade Zhu Houxi, his importance was still not enough in Zhu Houxi's eyes. Not enough to attract more attention, not enough to help him fight against the courtiers at court.

Without such a person, what will Zhu Houxi use to fight with the ministers?

Without such a person, Zhu Houxi will still be tied up in whatever he does.

Originally, Zhu Houxi had a Zhang Yang to use, but now Zhang Yang has been transferred to Nanjing to be the head of the Criminal Department, and there is no such person in the court. Zhu Houxi would think, if there is no such person, can't I get one myself?

Only push Wei Shui from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, and make him the target of the ministers' attacks. Zhu Houxi was able to sit firmly on his dragon chair, while protecting Wei Shui from being killed by the courtiers. While using Wei Shui to put forward all his ideas that may not be tolerated by the cabinet. If it succeeds, of course he gets the result he wants, and if it doesn't, then he only needs to throw Wei Shui out and let the courtiers get angry.

It's really a good calculation!

Yang Tinghe and the others did not consider that direction, but thought that this incident would be Wei Shui's slander to Zhu Houxi?

Mao Ji analyzed: "If it's just to add a few brocade guards, or remove Wei Shui's crimes, it's nothing." But what is the purpose of sealing a real person? Even His Majesty mentioned it later, and he wanted to give Wei Shui a mansion as a 'real mansion', isn't this nonsense? Spoil the traitorous villain, stay away from the ministers and gentlemen, this is the way to die in the country! ”

"Not really, right?" Naturally, Yang Yiqing, who was promoted into the cabinet by Zhu Houxi, was very old, but his re-entry into the cabinet made him re-emerge with the idea of going further. Agreeing with Yang Tinghe can only make him a vassal of Yang Tinghe. And only by setting himself against Yang Tinghe, that is, by standing on His Majesty's side, can he get further opportunities. is also for this reason, he must now hold up Wei Shui according to Zhu Houxi's intentions, so that he can have a more or less conspicuous comrade among the courtiers, so that life will undoubtedly be better, "Wei Shui, you have also had more contact." What he wants is nothing more than a false name and a little profit. Give it to him, and he will speak for us, and do things for us, as before, and he can persuade His Majesty once or twice, three times or four times. And once against him...... At this point, Shoufu should feel a lot about beating people, right? This person is not so easy to get rid of, one move can't hit his seven inches, let him slow down, there will be a big mess! Ladies and gentlemen, it is better to think carefully about what to do! ”

What Yang Tinghe is worried about is actually exactly such a thing.

Although Wei Shui said that it was not a retribution, his heart and eyes did not look big, otherwise, he would never have been offended by Yang Shen before, and then he counterpressed the cabinet.

That...... So agreed? Yang Tinghe was unwilling.

At this time, Jiang Mian suddenly said: "Zhiyi? To ...... This is to the word one, at first glance, it seems to be very similar to the homonym of 'Tie Yi'! Ladies and gentlemen, what did you think of from this? ”
