Chapter 352: The Philosophy of ****

What made the leader of the Wang Great Alliance so out of shape, I have to start with this morning's Tingtui......

As mentioned earlier, the decision on major government affairs is called court discussion, and the decision on major personnel appointments is called court tui, and Yang Yi, the governor of Zhejiang, is deposed, and who will replace him will become the focus of all parties.

Especially after the court discussed the opening of the sea, whoever can control the southeast will have the initiative to open the sea, millions of taels of tax silver, two or three hundred thousand troops, the richest province in the southeast, and tens of millions of people...... All these things add up to form the fattest piece of meat and the most tempting piece of flatbread ever.

According to the usual practice, the three giants gathered in Wanshou Palace with their respective people to hold a court push, but the strange thing is that Jiajing did not appear, but let Yan Song preside over and report the results of the court push.

Perhaps in Jiajing's view, after the court discussion, the overall situation has been decided, and his old man should go to the road of longevity.

Sure enough, the Yan Party was all happy and encouraged, but Li Mo was gloomy on the side, because there had already been rumors that the Yan Party was going to recommend Zhao Wenhua as the governor of the southeast.

Li Mo thought about it, Zhao Wenhua is a first-class member and has worked in the southeast for many years, plus he is the core of the Yan Party core, if he is not injured, he may be able to resist it, but now that the general trend is gone, he can be optimistic about his own plate and control Ma Zai from slipping away, which is already very good.

Li Mo had no intention of competing for power, and when Yan Song announced the recommendation of personnel, he casually pushed Wang He.

Although he pushed casually, but Wang Huan is not an ordinary person, he is a native of Xiping County, Henan Province, Jiajing two years of Jinshi, first as a pedestrian, and then promoted to Hubu Langzhong, and later the Datong Mutiny, he and Li Mo cooperated tacitly, and successfully quelled the chaos. He was promoted to deputy envoy of Shandong according to the judicial department, and later promoted to deputy governor of the imperial capital and governor of Caoyun.

At present, he is a squire of the household department in Nanjing, regardless of his qualifications and ability, he is enough to take charge of himself.

If Yan Dang recommended Zhao Wenhua, Wang He might not have a chance, but what is surprising is that Yan Shifan actually recommended Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang.

When Hu Zongxian's three words came out. Li Mo was taken aback, he was confused, why would Yan Dang recommend Hu Zongxian, who was obviously weak?

It stands to reason that Hu Zongxian is just a Jinshi in Jiajing for 17 years, with shallow qualifications, and being promoted to the governor of Zhejiang is already overpromoted, can he be promoted again and promoted to governor?

Speaking of Hu Zongxian's establishment, he has some credit, but because of the impeachment of Zhang Jing, he was implicated in the case of embezzlement of ink. has a bad reputation, compared with Wang Huan, there is a big difference everywhere, how can such a person win the approval of hundreds of officials?

Li Mo quickly calculated, he also guessed the plan of the Yan Party, and there were rumors before that he wanted to recommend Zhao Wenhua to the cabinet, most likely because the Yan Party was too greedy. I am not satisfied with a governor, and I want to have one more elder. There is no such good thing in the world.

Just when Li Mo was thinking about how to make a move, Xu Jie, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, and he recommended Tang Shunzhi, the secretary of the Southern Military Department, to take over as the governor of the southeast.

As soon as Xu Ge Lao's words came out, it immediately caused a discussion among hundreds of officials.

Compared with Wang He and Hu Zongxian, Tang Shunzhi became famous thirty years ago, and his character and talent are incomparable. Since his return to take over military affairs, although he has not charged into battle, he has trained the villagers, rectified military affairs, and collected food and wages. The appointment of generals, in all aspects, is obvious to all.

When it comes to his qualifications and prestige, they are the best choice.

Yan Shifan was very single, and when he saw that the three candidates were in dispute, he proposed to vote on the decision, and more than 30 officials present, each with three red beans, and three Zhongshusheren people held clay pots, and labeled three labels respectively, representing Wang Huan, Hu Zongxian, and Tang Shunzhi. Each minister can choose more than one, all three of them can vote, or they can only vote for their favorite.

After a round of voting, Wang He, who represented Li Mo, got 25 votes, and Hu Zongxian, who represented the Yan Party, got 27 votes, and Tang Shunzhi, who was pushed by Xu Jie, only got 17 votes, and in the first round of competition, he was out.

This is not to say that Tang Shunzhi can't do it, on the contrary, under the confrontation of the two major factions, he was able to get the approval of half of the officials, and Tang Shunzhi is still very strong.

Losing is losing, Xu Jie's face was expressionless, and he couldn't see any joy or anger.

On the contrary, it was Li Mo, who was simply ecstatic.

He thought that after the court discussion, many people would leave him and switch to the Yan Party, but unexpectedly, the candidates of the Yan Party only had two more votes than himself, and the gap between the two sides was not large.

And Xu Jie's defeat in promoting Tang Shunzhi may anger Yan Song, Xu Jie's votes are not much, but it is enough to turn things around, and Tang Shunzhi can also influence some neutral officials, if they push Tang Shunzhi to fail, most of them will vote for Wang He, not Hu Zongxian, after all, the qualifications of the two sides are too different.

Thinking of this, Li Mo seemed to be beaten with chicken blood and came back to life all of a sudden.

"Shoufu, according to the rules of Tingtui, there are only two people left, and there is a duel below, do you want to change the choice?"

Yan Song could still remain calm when he heard this, but Yan Shifan was so angry that the flesh on his face jumped, and there was a trace of panic in his gloomy eyes. Obviously, he miscalculated, and the strict party is far from the point where the leaders are united and do whatever they want.

If Xu Jie didn't insert a lever, maybe he would have won, and if he didn't recommend Hu Zongxian, maybe there would be no trouble.

But now, can he change his words, isn't that tantamount to admitting that Hu Zongxian is not as good as Wang Huan? Don't fight for steamed buns, above the court, it's like a boxing ring, whoever is timid will be out of the game in advance.

Yan Shifan gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "I also recommend Hu Zongxian!" ”

"Okay, let's vote!" This time is different from the first round, two people from the middle school came out, one sent beans, one held a jar, the red bean represents Wang Huan, and the mung bean represents Hu Zongxian, this time it is not a multiple choice, but a single choice, if the number is not right, but it will be voted again.

Obviously, this round was much more tangled than the previous one, and everyone thought hard and was silent for five or six minutes before casting a sacred bean one by one.

It took a big turn, and in the end, including the Big Three, all threw beans.

Finally sent to Yan Song, old Yan Song poured the beans in his hand, Yan Shifan stood closely behind his father, staring at it, "One, two, three, four...... Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen! ”

Counted five times, the mung beans are all these, Yan Shifan was unwilling, and counted the red beans a few times, all of them were 18, adding up to 33, representing all the senior officials above the fourth grade in Beijing, there was no mistake!

Hu Zongxian was defeated, and Wang He won!

When the news of Tingtui came out, the Yan Party was in mourning, and Li Mo was desperate.

Aren't you going to open the sea, aren't you going to swallow the fat of the southeast? It's a pity, Li Lingzhi is faint, Li Lingzhi is faint!

If you want anything, you just can't get anything!

As long as Wang He sits firmly as the governor of the southeast, what Hu Zongxian, what Tang Shen, all clean up the southeast, how can the widows worry about it, can they use the open sea?

Tang Yi, you have a lot of nonsense, you can deceive others, but you can't deceive me Li Shiyan, advocating the opening of the sea, isn't it just for those big clans in the southeast! The old man just didn't let you get what you wanted.

Of course, Li Mo also knew that Jiajing's intention to open the sea was resolute, and he didn't dare to be hard again, so he immediately sent a letter to Wang Huan and asked him to write to Jiajing, saying that he would do his best to open the sea well and never disappoint the holy grace.

As for getting to the southeast, just make a little thing out of it, and easily drag it out for a few months, dragging it around, Jiajing's patience is gone, and the matter of opening the sea is yellow.

Do you still expect this Daojun Emperor to have much courage?

How loud was the sound of the repetition at the beginning, but Zeng Milling lost his head in a few days, maybe Tang Yi would follow in Zeng Milling's footsteps. When that day comes, the old man will knock out your full mouthful of teeth, and see how sharp you are and how black and white are reversed!

Li Dazai Xingchong rushed out of the Wanshou Palace and went straight to the Hanlin Courtyard, he desperately wanted to humiliate those little traitors who didn't know what to do!

Li Mo turned over and was overjoyed, but Tang Yi looked at each other and sighed. Wang Shizhen couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that Yan Ge came out of Wanshou Palace, and he was so angry that he didn't even eat lunch, and Yan Shifan even smashed the study all over the place, pointing at the sky and scolding the earth, not to mention regretting it." ”

Xu Wei frowned and said: "Then they are to blame, obviously Hu Zongxian is not qualified enough, but before the court push, he still didn't put Xu Ge Lao right, if he didn't intervene, he wouldn't have entered the second round of voting at all, and Wang He would not have been able to win." ”

Tao Dalin looked at Tang Yi and asked in a low voice: "Okay, what are we talking about, Xu Ge Lao recommended Mr. Jing Chuan, do you mean it?" ”

"It's not!" Tang Yi shook his head decisively, "I know best what kind of character my master is, although he is a lot more introverted, he is jealous and hateful, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. The governor of the southeast is a crater, how can you harm the teacher as a disciple! ”

Zhu Da said: "It seems that Xu Ge Lao wants to fish in troubled waters, who knows that he didn't grab the position, and he fulfilled Li Shiyan, what a mistake." ”

The more people discussed, the more frustrated they became, no matter how good the plan Tang Yi came up with, if it was read by the crooked-mouthed monk, it was guaranteed to be out of shape. Wang He is the governor of Caoyun, and he has a canal gang under him, Tang Yi promoted the opening of the sea, one of which is to change Caoyun to sea transportation, how can Wang He sit idly by!

How much power the governor of the southeast has, there is no need to oppose it openly, as long as he secretly and casually sets up a little obstacle, it is enough to drink a pot.

Tang Yi rubbed his temples and asked, "Cousin, do you think Your Majesty will overturn the results of Tingtui?" ”

Wang Shizhen was overjoyed at first, and then shook her head, "I don't think so, this time Your Majesty is letting it go to Yan Song, if Your Majesty is present, Li Mo may not be so bold." But things have come to this point, Your Majesty can't beat himself up, right? ”

Tingtui represents the will of hundreds of officials, and Jiajing is not easy to object, so it seems that Wang He is the governor of the southeast.

"The agency is too clever to calculate, and it has calculated Qingqing's life!" Tang Yi felt a trace of loss, after all, he was just a small Hanlin official, if it wasn't for Jiajing's order, he would not be qualified to participate in the highest decision-making of the empire at all.

Just when Tang Yi was distressed, suddenly Yan Ne walked in from outside.

"Feng Zhou is also there? That's great, Master Li asked me to call a few of them. ”

When summoned by the chief, they couldn't help but go, so they had to stand up hard, Yan Ne also knew the contradiction between them and Li Mo, so he could only persuade in a low voice: "Brother Xing, when it comes to officialdom, people can't help themselves, brother says a rough word, everyone has to eat, when you have, just don't chew it!"
