Chapter 143: At the Deer Banquet

Since entering the cabinet, Xu Jie has also fantasized about replacing Yan Song more than once, but the reality soon gave him a cruel lesson, Yan Ge has been serving Jiajing with the posture of treating his father for more than ten years, and finally got Jiajing's unpredictable heart to understand it.

With the emperor's favor, Yan Ge Lao sat firmly on the fishing boat regardless of the wind and waves, and could use the emperor's joy and anger at any time to eradicate dissidents, and after Nie Bao left office, Xu Jie's position became more and more embarrassing. Yan Song monopolized the power of the cabinet, suppressed Xu Jie, and drove him out of the cabinet.

But contrary to Yan Song's expectations, this little man in Songjiang is even more tenacious than he imagined, nailed to the cabinet, even if the authority is not there, even if he wants to whisper to Yan Shifan, he will not retreat, and the old and cunning Yan Ge will cry out in vain.

In fact, if you look at Xu Jie's resume, you may find the answer.

Xu Jie was a Tanhua in the second year of Jiajing, and he was only nineteen years old when he was a Jinshi, and Xu Jie was still a hot-blooded young man at that time.

Falling from heaven to hell, difficulties did not crush him, in the promotion of the official office, Xu Jiexing eliminated the disadvantages, outstanding political achievements, and was later promoted to Huangzhou Tongzhi, Zhejiang according to the inspection of affairs, Jiangxi according to the deputy envoy......

Although he has never been a seal official, Xu Ge Lao has also gone through the four provinces of Fujian, Hubei, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi, and has seen the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty thoroughly. has also trained himself to become a super cadre, but at this time, Xu Jie is still enthusiastic, and he can only be said to be the embryo of a divine sword, which is still far from being formed......

In Jiangxi, the relatives of Shoufu Xia Yan came to ask for an official, but Xu Jieyan refused. offended Shousuke again, and made the same mistake twice in a row, in all fairness, Xu Jie is indeed not enough politicians, but this time he did not repeat the mistakes of the past, because Shoufu Xia Yan is a person who is even less politicians!

He actually promoted Xu Jie. helped him complete the perfect counterattack from the magistrate to the Beijing official, and sat in the position of the Guozi priest wine, and then Xu Jiejie rose step by step, and it seemed that the future was bright.

However, at this time, the resumption of the incident, which can be called the biggest injustice in the Ming Dynasty, broke out, the first assistant Xia Yan was killed, and Xu Jie suddenly lost his biggest backer, and Xia Yan was kind to Xu Jie, in an era when morality was greater than everything. Xu Jie was supposed to speak for Xia Yan, but what was strange was that from beginning to end, Xu Jie didn't say a word, and watched the teacher and his benefactor be in a different place.

At that moment, I don't know how many people were completely disappointed in Xu Jie, poking him in the back, no one knew how Xu Jie's came over at that time, the only thing that can be determined is that after that tempering, Xu Jie's abandonment of all moral constraints. Become the top schemer and super politician.

It can be said that Yan Song single-handedly created his most terrible enemy!

……

After ups and downs, Xu Jie's tenacity can not be easily defeated. In fact, when Nie Bao Zhishi lost his biggest ally, Xu Jie laid out the situation of the Nanzhili Township Test.

Although there were similar things in the past, but this time Xu Jie did a big job, making the scope very wide, and he wanted to deliberately lure Yan Song to attack him. Push the matter to the party struggle, get Jiajing's sympathy and support, and tide over the current difficulties.

I have to say that his strategy was almost successful, and Yan Shifan, who was eager for quick success, had already jumped in. Just when he was only one step away from success, Yan Song actually stopped him and hit the Xinxue sect hard.

Xu Jie finally understood the strength and shrewdness of the opponent, and was completely cold, Xu Ge Lao, who was in the midst of the storm, suddenly received the news of the southeast victory, and the unsmiling Xu Jie actually looked up to the sky and laughed out loud after reading the secret report sent by Tang Shunzhi.

It's a timely rain!

Among the officials in the southeast, although Tang Shunzhi was recommended by Zhao Wenhua, he was a member of the heart of the Eight Classics, Wang Chen was recommended by Xu Jie, Liu Tao, Wang Chonggu, Chen Menghe and other personnel are also closely related to Xu Jie.

If the Japanese do not fall, Xu Jie will be as stable as Mount Tai, and with his powerful military exploits, it is not impossible to replace Yan Song!

Xu Jie rekindled the blood in his chest, strode high, and walked into the Xiyuan Essence House......

"Weichen see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Jiajing, who was in a good mood, said with a smile: "Pingshen, Xu Jie, do you know that the southeast has won the battle?" ”

"Weichen doesn't know!" The cautious Xu Jie didn't want to be charged with befriending foreign ministers.

As soon as Jiajing was pouting, Mai Fu sent the recital to Xu Jie's hands, Xu Jie pretended to read it, and smiled ecstatically: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, you have annihilated more than 3,000 enemies in one fell swoop, and killed the Japanese chief Chen Sipan, which is really an unprecedented victory in the past years!" God bless my emperor! ”

"Hmm!" Jiajing smiled, "Xu Jie, don't say nice words, I want to ask you, do you know Tang Shen?" ”

"Yes." Xu Jie agreed.

Jiajing smiled: "Then tell me, who is he?" ”

"Your Majesty, Tang Shen Weichen doesn't know much, but he has a son named Tang Yi, this son is a student of Tang Shunzhi, Tang Shunzhi admires him very much, and regards him as the heir to the mantle."

There is nothing to hide about this, Jiajing couldn't help but nodded, "No wonder the new army can get Tang Shunzhi's battle formation method, it turns out to be a master and apprentice, then I ask you, will Tang Shunzhi deliberately put gold on his students' faces?" This is a heart-wrenching question, which is very much in line with Jiajing's view of looking at things with conspiracy theories.

On the way here, Xu Jie had already thought of a countermeasure, and said with a calm smile: "Your Majesty, do you remember Yantietang?" ”

"Well, it's the canal that has been abandoned for thousands of years?"

"Your Majesty Shengming, the salt and iron pond can be rebuilt, all thanks to the Tang family's father and son's clever strategy, according to Tang Shunzhi, the idea is still his apprentice, it doesn't cost the court a penny, just borrowing people's power to repair the canal, and it can also help the court transfer military supplies and feed tens of thousands of people, which can be described as a wonderful idea, benefiting the country and the people."

Saying that, Xu Jie said the detailed process of how to build it concisely, Jiajing listened, kept nodding, looked back at Yan Song, and smiled lightly, "Yan Ge Lao, how are this son's methods compared to Yan Shifan?" ”

Yan Shifan is the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and he is also in charge of engineering, so Jiajing has this question. Yan Song hurriedly said: "Yan Shifan only knows how to do things honestly, but he is not as flexible as this son, there are many inferiors, many are inferior. ”

This compliment is indeed interesting, clearly praising Tang Yi, but in fact praising his son, after all, the project of the imperial court must be safe first, and it cannot be unconventional.

Jiajing listened to it in his ears, and he also agreed a little, but he was still very pleased.

"The son has the ability, that is, Lao Tzu teaches well, so it seems that Tang Shen is also a rare cadre, and he should be rewarded for his great achievements!"

Jiajing said in a word, this is called Chrysostom Yuyan, Tang Shen's future is coming.

"Elder Yan Ge, see how to reward it?" Jiajing asked.

"This?" Yan Song smiled hesitantly, "Your Majesty, this is stumped for the old ministers, civil officials and officials, military generals are knighted, there are rules, but Tang Shen is just a small official of the eighth grade, and he is not the right way to be a department. ”

I have to say that Yan Ge is always a Tai Chi master, which sounds quite reasonable, but in fact it is useless at all, with the credit is his, and the mistakes are pushed out, with the virtue of not taking responsibility, he is not a qualified first assistant.

After listening to this, Jiajing felt quite reasonable, and said to himself: "Since you can train troops to fight, it is better to promote a guerrilla general, and it is not considered to insult him, what does Xu Ge think?" ”

Here it comes!

Jiajing is really a person who does not play cards according to common sense, fortunately, Tang Shunzhi explained clearly in the secret letter, Xu Jie knew it, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, to put it mildly, the Tang family is also a scholarly family, Tang Shen's knowledge and character are not bad, and he also has ambitions for the imperial examination." Helpless family in the middle of the road, only to give up the imperial examination, raise a young son, now that the son is grown up, he was going to participate in the Nanzhili Township Examination this year, but there was a refugee thing, he stepped forward, and I don't know if it will delay the imperial examination. ”

A thousand words, people have the ability to pass the test, and then force them to be a general, it is not appropriate!

Jiajing was rarely happy, not only did his temper not attack, but he also became a donkey, obeying his words.

"In this way, if people have the ability to pass the imperial examination, don't add to the chaos. Elder Xu Ge, you go and draw up a list of rewards, give Tang Shen a loose official, and wait until high school to become a scholar, and then reuse it. ”

Xu Jie hurriedly thanked him, and Jiajing added: "By the way, his son is also rare, young and resourceful. Add an official to him, and he should receive a copy of the salary in advance! ”

"Wechen obeys!"

……

Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs. Blowing the sheng drum spring, bearing the basket is the will. People are kind to me, show me to walk.

Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild artemisia. I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao. If the people are not ashamed, the gentleman is effective. I have a purpose to drink, and the guest style Yan Yiao.

Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild Qin. I have guests, drums and pianos. The drums and drums are harmonious and harmonious. I have a purpose to drink, with the heart of Yanle guests.

After the lift, hold the deer feast to celebrate, is since the Tang Dynasty, there is a tradition, the deer has been treated as a fairy beast since ancient times, and it is a rare talent, the deer song is the talent is reused, is the son of heaven to find talent, the feast of heavy talent, sacred.

However, in Tang Yi's opinion, it is simply self-deception, what is called a deer, isn't it just Yulu! If you raise people in the examination, you can become an official, which is the beginning of receiving money and eating imperial food! can exploit the people, make a fortune, and 100,000 snowflakes of silver in the Qing prefect's mansion in three years!

Of course, readers will never be so straightforward, they will only desperately apply grease and whitewash and retouch their dress.

Tang Shen Tang master, the new imperial examination, well-dressed, sat in front of a group of classmates, in the banquet hall, the lights were colorful, beaming, Tang Shen accompanied everyone, to the chief examiner and the examiner to thank him, this gift can not be tight, it means that the master and apprentice status is determined, although it is not stricter than the examination, but it cannot disobey the master, otherwise it will be spurned by Shilin.

Tang Shen didn't dare to be different, everything came according to the rules, and after carefully saluting, he returned to his position. No matter how careful he is, he can't stop the trouble when it comes.

A new imperial examination person suddenly stood up and laughed loudly: "Today's Luming banquet, why don't you classmates write a poem to help the wine!" (To be continued.) )
