Chapter 556: Candidates
Everyone's eyes searched around, and it was easy to find the silence standing at the bottom, and they all gave sympathetic glances to this young man.
Yes, it's sympathy, not expectation, curiosity, encouragement, etc., just some cheap sympathy, or pitiful - they know very well that Yan Shifan has already grasped the absolute initiative, and after completing an earth-shattering reversal, he will never let the next goal go aside!
Even in Yan Shifan's heart, Governor Su Song is the first in line, even if he gives up the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he must keep it! Because it was about his retreat and the Yan family's long-term plan.
Therefore, Xu Jie, who lost the first game, has no chance to win back the city...... Unless, like the previous time, Emperor Jiajing suddenly intervened to help him turn things around. But this time, Emperor Jiajing's golden mouth has been opened, and it will not be mixed with the court push today. The last straw can not be counted on, and Xu Ge Lao is obviously lost.
Everyone thinks that Xu Jie took Shen Mo out to cover up his ugliness, so they all sympathized with this little brother who participated in the court push for the first time and had such an unlucky thing.
But Shen Mo didn't see it that way, on the contrary, he felt his blood boiling, and he could even hear his own heartbeat - he found that an opportunity that he had never dared to hope for was actually in front of his eyes!
He took a breath lightly to soothe his emotions, and then he came out with the wat board in his hand, and said loudly: "According to the humble opinion of the lower officials, the candidate for the future governor of Su Song should meet three conditions, one of which is to have relevant experience, the elder of the pavilion is very right, the stall of foreign trade is quite complicated, and it is impossible to find the doorway if you are not familiar with it for a year and a half, but at present, Da Ming is using money everywhere, and this year's task cannot be completed, if it can't be reversed next year, I'm afraid you don't need to blame Your Majesty, we who are courtiers should resign and apologize." ”
When he said this, all the ministers nodded, and Yan Shifan couldn't help muttering secretly: "It seems that we will have to make less money next year, so we have to pass the current gate first." It seems that this time, he was really frightened by Jiajing's anger.
Then he listened to Shen Mo and continued: "Second, this lord should have enough qualifications, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public; And thirdly, this adult has to be recognized by everyone, so there are fewer constraints and it is easier to get things done. "The voice is crisp and sharp, with a sense of energy.
No matter what he said, Yan Shifan couldn't change the candidate, so when he heard this, he said impatiently: "What you said is right, tell me who it is!" ”
"Yes." Shen bowed his hand and took a deep breath, but did not speak immediately. At this moment, he knows very well that opportunities are always accompanied by risks, as long as he seizes the opportunity at this moment, then he must take the corresponding risks - which means that his original intention of staying out of the matter will be broken, and he will finally enter the sight of the strict party, and the world will no longer be peaceful...... 'Damn, Lao Tzu is a naked official, afraid of him?' Shen Mo burst out of a foul language in his heart, as if to cheer himself up, and said secretly: "I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, and I can't bear the daughter-in-law to catch the hooligan, fight!" ’
He was carrying out the final psychological construction here, and Yan Shifan over there quit and said to Xu Jie: "It seems that he doesn't know, Xu Ge Lao, you should reluctantly make it difficult." ”
Xu Jie shook his head and said, "Hehe, Yan Butang is not impatient, and it is a good thing for young people to be cautious." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mo and said, "Shen Sacrifice Wine, have you thought about it?" ”
"Yes, Elder Ge." Shen Mo looked at Xu Jie with blazing eyes, and said loudly: "The candidate I recommend is Tang Ruji, the former prefect of Hangzhou and the Jiangnan Tea and Horse Division, Tang was born as a champion, once in charge of local affairs, and is also very familiar with business, whether in terms of qualifications, experience or popularity, he is the best choice!" ”
As soon as the silence came out, there was an uproar in the court, and the ministers thought that he would recommend Xu Jie's people, recommend Yuwang's people, and even go back to be this Su Song governor, but they never imagined that he would recommend King Jing's people!
He's King Yu's attendant! How could it be possible to let King Jing's people ascend to the throne? Could it be that he was Yan Dang's annihilation in Yuwang's Mansion, or did he take the wrong medicine this morning? The adults speculated, Gao Gong directly glared angrily, and scolded in his heart: 'How can this little beast who eats inside and crawls outside do such a lack of virtue by giving birth to a son without an asshole?' Yan Zhao Nan'er has a violent temper, if it weren't for the court, it is estimated that he would have to go up and fight with him.
Xu Jie was also stunned, and said in his heart, what does this mean? Who doesn't know that Tang Ruji, the champion, is all based on Yan Song's relationship, so he has the nickname of 'relationship champion', how can Shen Mo recommend this kind of person?
Yan Shifan was also a little dizzy on his side, and it was not impossible to use Tang Ruji, but he already had a candidate he wanted; Second, he Tang is now a person from Jingwangfu, although he must obey his words, but it is inevitable to let the people from Jingwangfu intervene in Susong City, which Yan Shifan does not want to see no matter what...... He had already regarded the city as his own prison.
But...... Those people in King Jing's Mansion are not easy to offend! The reason why Fang Cai won a big victory, in addition to Yan Song's play of Infernal Affairs, there is also a prerequisite, that is, the full support of King Jing's party - in this hall, Yuan Wei, Zhou Hui, and two or three officials are closely surrounding King Jing, and they cannot be regarded as Yan Party.
In order to be able to turn the tables before, he found Yuan Wei, the leader of the Jingwang Party, and on the condition of promoting Yuan Wei as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he exchanged five votes from the Jingwang Party, and the victory was laid at once. But now, Shen Mo actually proposed to let Tang Ruji, the Jingwang Party dressed in the skin of the Yan Party, take over, which made Yan Shifan really difficult.
If you agree, you are always afraid that other people's crops will grow in your own field, if you don't agree, you are afraid that Yuan Wei, a cautious guy, will break with himself on the spot...... 'This stinky boy, who can't recommend it, how can you recommend Tang Ruji?' Yan Shifan couldn't help but secretly scold Shen Mo for being troublesome.
Yan Shifan secretly gritted his teeth there, Xu Jie suddenly had some ideas, he was also clear about the power structure of the court, and he thought about it silently, and found that as long as Yan Shifan did not elect Tang Ruji, it would split the Yan Party and the Jingwang Party, so that the disadvantage might be reversed. But what if Yan Shifan chose Tang Ruji? Xu Jie knew that Shen Mo and Tang Ruji had a good personal relationship, but in the face of huge interests, that friendship was insignificant, and it couldn't influence the surname Tang at all.
Thinking about it further, he felt that he had touched the silent train of thought, this kid should just want to turn the doomed Governor Su Song into a wedge to split the Yan Party and the Jingwang Party, and insert it between Yan Shifan and Yuan Wei.
Xu Jie estimated that Yuan Wei would definitely not be able to ask for Shen Mo's proposal, so he would definitely support Tang Ruji, so that the odds of winning with the surname Tang were very great!
"It's really a snipe and a clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman......" Xu Jie couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said in his heart: "This game, obviously, I still lost." At least that's what he thinks...... But even if you don't get any benefits, you can't make the Yan Party feel better, in line with the principle that if we can't get it, you can't think about it, Xu Jie decided, just listen to Shen Mo this time, and vote for Tang Ruji all!
Looking at Shen Mo, Xu Jiewei blinked his eyelids uncheckably, then set his eyes on Yan Shifan, and said, "I don't know what Yan Butang thinks?" ”
Yan Shifan looked at Yuan Wei, only to see the old boy's eagerness, he couldn't help asking, he also knew what he meant, he definitely wanted to let himself, and promised to recommend Tang Ruji to go up!
Looking at Bai Qichang of Guanglu Temple, the candidate he had originally planned was looking at him with a begging face, Yan Shifan couldn't help but be upset for a while, waved his hand and said, "I didn't pay attention to this!" As he spoke, he looked at his father and said, "Shousuke-sama, what do you mean?" There was no way, he really couldn't weigh it, so he had to ask Yan Song to decide.
Yan Song didn't hear clearly, Yan Shifan had to ask again, Lao Shoufu actually smiled with relief, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, it is a matter of eating a trench and growing wisdom, if it was in the past, he would have made his own decision, how could he ask my opinion?" He pondered for a moment, closed his eyes slightly, and said, "What does Xu Ge Lao mean?" ”
The old guy is cunning and cunning, first find out the bottom of the opponent, and then make a statement.
Xu Jie is not a vegetarian, as soon as Yan Song asked, he knew the other party's choice, and said with a faint smile: "Of course you have to listen to the elder of the pavilion." ”
"Elder Ge listens to me?" Yan Song smiled like a withered chrysanthemum and said, "Then I think Tang Ruji is not bad." ”
"It's really good." Xu Jie echoed and smiled: "There is indeed no more suitable than him." ”
Bai Qichang, the Guanglu Temple Qing below, had a really white face, but he spent a lot of money to buy this position. Why don't you have anything to do with yourself now?
Helplessly, he didn't dare to speak out, so he could only look at Yan Shifan pitifully, but Yan Donglou directly ignored him...... The two cabinet elders agreed, and the final result was naturally not surprising, Tang Ruji became the candidate for governor of Su Song with an absolutely high vote, and the appointment took effect as long as the emperor approved it.
For this result, Shen Mo is very pleased, for him and Suzhou, it is already too good to be better.
But there is also a fly in the ointment, that is, he is not satisfied with the process, because it did not cause infighting between the Yan Party and the Jingwang Party...... The problem lies in the change of Yan Shifan's surname, if it was in the past, this guy would definitely stick to the original choice, but this time he actually held back, and knew to ask his father's opinion.
It can be seen that setbacks make people grow, and they can't look at people with old eyes. Shen Mo couldn't help but wake up secretly.
At the end of the court push, the officials came out according to their grades from high to low, so although Shen Mo was closest to the door, he could only be the last to go out. He felt himself standing in the doorway like a doorman, receiving everyone's attention...... Xu Jie helped Yan Ge to come out first, and when he walked up to Shen Mo, he looked at him with a serious face, which means, I need an explanation from you.
Then, Yan Shifan, he stared at Shen Mo with angry eyes, meaning, you troublemaker, you will definitely pay the price!
Then it was Yuan Wei, he looked at Shen Mo gratefully, meaning, good brother, I didn't expect you to be really righteous! When he tried to woo Shen Mo at the beginning, Shen Mo told him that he would repay him at the right time, and it was only a perfunctory sentence at that time, but he didn't expect that the big gift came so quickly and so richly, it was really ...... It's so damn grandma's pleasure!
The King Jing Party was happy, and the King Yu Party was definitely not happy, and he looked at Shen Mo with his eyes full of fire, as if he was gritting his teeth and said: "Boy, wait and see!" Don't put you in a position like eighteen, Lao Tzu, I have your surname! ’
Of course, the people who passed in front of him only had four words written on their faces, saying, 'What is the picture?' ’
Seeing these expressionless faces, Shen Mo couldn't help but secretly have a headache, and said in his heart how much work it would take to settle the sequelae...... Unconsciously, he was the only one left in the Golden Palace, and Shen Mo was about to walk away, but he heard a eunuch behind him call him: "Lord Shen stay, Your Majesty will summon you over." ”
Shen Mo nodded, retracted his steps, and followed the eunuch to the retreat behind the palace.
In the retreat of Yuxi Palace, Chen Hong knelt on the ground and recounted the process of court push to the emperor in 1510.
When he heard that Xu Jie's tragic reversal, Jiajing's brows couldn't help frowning, and he shouted in his heart: 'Unexpected, unexpected......" The purpose of his refusal to attend the court push this time was to let Xu Jie break his wrist with Yan Song and prove his strength to replace him. Jiajing was also confused by the illusion of the last court push, thinking that the Xu Party and the Yan Party were almost evenly matched, but he didn't want the Yan Party to hide such a big power, which made the emperor secretly surprised: "These two masters are too good at hiding, it seems that Xu Jie can't fight him." ’
When Chen Hong finished speaking, Jiajing ordered: "Bring Shen Mo to me." "He didn't really care who became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, because it didn't matter at all. What he cares about is the city ship, and it is the silver of the white flowers, so he has to ask Shen Mo, why did he choose Tang Ruji, is that guy really qualified for the city ship?
The silence soon arrived. After saluting respectfully, Jiajing asked him to get up and reply, and by the action of getting up, he silently peeked at Jiajing, and found that the emperor's complexion was okay, obviously Li Shizhen's recipe worked.
The emperor didn't pave the way, and when he came up, he asked directly: "Why did you choose Tang Ruji, what kind of virtue can this person have, and can he be competent?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, yes!" A silent voice said resolutely: "When Lord Tang was in office as the prefect of Hangzhou, because he also had a lot of trade contacts with the City Ship Division, he had a lot of contact with him, and he knew that Lord Tang had outstanding ability and flexible wrists, which was just right for the complex place of the City Ship Division. After a pause, he said: "In addition, he is familiar with the business, and he can pick up that mess when he goes, and he doesn't need to adapt to it at all, so Weichen thinks that he is the best candidate for the promotion of Su Song's governor and the city secretary." ”
"That's the case...... Jiajing nodded slowly, and said, "The following people have an idea in the past few days, you can refer to it in detail." ”
"Listen to me." Shen Mo hurriedly said.
"What they mean is that the governor is in charge of local government affairs, and the city department is in charge of foreign trade, which is originally two positions." Jiajing said slowly: "Isn't it that the governor doesn't want to hold two positions, and I will send another lieutenant official to take charge of the city?" "Because Liu Jin and others in the previous dynasty made too much trouble, Emperor Jiajing hated the eunuchs for messing with the government. Soon after ascending the throne, he removed the eunuchs from all over the world, but over the years, he found that the ministers were still single-minded with him, and the appointment and dismissal of these eunuchs were all in his own thoughts. So after a big turn, I still moved the heart of the eunuch.
Chen Hong, who was waiting on the side, his eyes lit up when he landed, this was the result of his soft words, this dead eunuch was ambitious, and he had long wanted to send someone over to fish with Huang Jin. What's more, the original city division was guarded by eunuchs, and he was justified in proposing it, not afraid of being thought by the emperor to be a chaotic government.
When he heard this, he said in his heart: 'That's not good, the victory that came so easily is not to let the dead eunuch get involved.' The eunuch will make a small report, and it will be very troublesome to send it away, and he is not in Suzhou, so I really don't know what will happen at that time. He shook his head resolutely and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, the two prefectures of Susong and the city are already an inseparable whole, if they are really led by the foreign ministers and the internal ministers, it is inevitable that they will hinder each other, pass the buck to each other, and create sincerity and benevolence, it will be very bad!" After a pause, he said: "In fact, if you are worried about the minister's dictatorship, it is a good way to send a lieutenant official to supervise, but there is already a weaving bureau in Suzhou, and with Huang Gonggong watching there, what is Your Majesty not worried about?" ”
As soon as he said it, Jiajing was a little shaken again, glanced at Li Fang and said, "You are in charge of the inner court, what should you do yourself?" ”
Li Fang is not ambitious, not to mention that he has a good son Huang Jin in Suzhou, and he is not interested in this matter, so he said: "Lord Shen is reasonable, if the master is not at ease, you can give Huang Jin some tasks and let him keep his eyes open." Said with a smile: "The master forgot about Yan Maoqing this time, didn't Huang Jin report it very effectively?" ”
"Well......" Jiajing nodded and said, "Yes, besides, there is Jinyiwei, so you really don't have to worry about it anymore." He didn't know that whether it was Huang Jin or Suzhou Jinyiwei, they had already made Shen Mo win him over, and he had already betrayed.
