In May, the weather became brighter, and the clouds shrouded the capital seemed to have dispersed, and the minions of the Xu Party did not continue to attack, and some Yan Party figures, such as Dong Fen, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, survived.

There was even more news that Xu Ge Lao wrote several letters of greeting to Yan Ge Lao himself, asking Yan Song about his life and body, recalling the situation of working together at the beginning, and expressing his gratitude for the support.

Xu Jie's actions, even the extremely smart Yan Shifan was deceived, he did not go to Leizhou, he fled back to his hometown, gathered a group of outlaws, prepared to build a mansion, and became his emperor in his hometown, at ease. even threatened everywhere, saying: "Old Xu is not poisonous." ”

After Tang Yi heard about it, he said in his heart Yan Shifan, you are really unjustly defeated, you can't even see such a little bit of means to capture and indulge, and you are also drunk!

The reason why Xu Jie relaxed his pursuit and changed his attitude was, of course, related to Tang Yi, Miss Xu's incident hit Xu Jie's prestige, but after all, a weak woman, with the usual arrogance of the scholars, and the life and death of a woman, in addition to making them sigh, the damage to Xu Jie was far from enough to make him change his attitude.

Tang Yi is very self-aware, if he was as arrogant as Yan Shifan, he would have died and been buried a long time ago.

The real key is Jiajing's attitude, Tang Yi successfully used Miss Xu, woke up Jiajing, gave him a god-given opportunity to beat Xu Jie, canonized Miss Xu as a real person in Huilan, rewarded Ruyi, very particular, the emperor gave her Ruyi, Xu Jie couldn't kill Miss Xu secretly, it was equivalent to having a life-saving talisman.

At the same time, Miss Xu is also the daughter-in-law of the Yan family, she was rewarded, the timing is very delicate, after Yan Ge returned to his hometown, he was not willing to be lonely, and frequently sent excerpts to Jiajing to greet the emperor's health.

has served Jiajing for more than 20 years, and Yan Song's every word has made Jiajing so pleasing to the ear, far better than Xu Jie, who is becoming more and more thoughtful.

The idea of reactivating Yan Song is getting stronger and stronger, Jiajing is already changing, and Zhang Cong and Xia Yan at the beginning are all up and down.

How did Yan Song sit firmly in the cabinet?

Relying on Yan Shifan's ingenious design, using the "reset" as a breakthrough, Xia Yan was killed, and the opponent was completely destroyed physically, so he could sit back and relax.

Xu Jie knows very well that his situation is very similar to Yan Song at the beginning, if he continues to chase and kill Yan Dang, provoke resistance, and make a mess of the court situation, Jiajing will use Yan Song, and then his situation will be extremely embarrassing, and he will lose all his efforts.

Therefore, he must stop for the time being, not give Jiajing an excuse to use Yan Song, and choose another opportunity to kill the Yan family's father and son.

Yan Song, who is in his eighties, has no strength to toss, but Yan Shifan is different, this is used to being an uncle, arrogant and arrogant, and does not know how to restrain.

Sure enough, Xu Jieyi let go, he fled back to his hometown, gathered outlaws, built a mansion, and let him make trouble, or it won't be long before the time will come to give Yan Shifan a fatal blow.

Xu Jie is like a clever hunter, patiently hidden, ready to attack at any time.

In the comparison of the strength of the court, Xu Jie's family is still dominant, but at least others can have a little respite. Tang Yi had to take advantage of the precious gap to shuttle back and forth.

There are three main things he does, the first is to frequently go to Yuwangfu to give lectures, communicate with Yuwang, and consolidate his position in the palace.

Second, it is to strengthen the alliance with Gao Gong, Tang Yi can see that the rise of Gao Gong is unstoppable, and the concepts of him and Xu Jie are completely different, Tang Yi introduced his friends in the same department and many protégés to Gao Gong.

These people have received the edification of mind, broad vision, novel thinking, and are influenced by Tang Yi's truth-seeking ideas, very talented in doing things, after Gao Gong contacted them, he was greatly praised, and even cited as a confidant.

Another insurance.

As for the third one, it is to speed up the pace of accepting members of the Yan Party, and after several months of hard work, more than 20 officials have fallen to Tang Yi, most of them have low official positions, their original positions are not obvious, and their reputations are not too bad.

After receiving these personnel, at least there are Tang Yi's people in the yamen of each ministry, and Tang Yi can accurately grasp what is going on.

These days, Tang Yi is often so busy that he can't even take care of his meal, he has a good little white face, neglects to take care of it, and the stubble has grown, and he quickly slides in the direction of the uncle.

Of course, compared with the results, the effort is still rewarded.

Tang Yi silently calculated, the strength of the Yan Party is about forty percent on the table, that is, Yan Song's godson and grandson, most of these irons were killed by Xu Jie.

Among the remaining sixty percent, a small half fell into his own hands, and half went to Xu Jie, and only a small part was left to enter the Jin Party.

In short, the huge Yan Party has been carved up and there is not much left.

Based on Tang Yi's strength now, he is far inferior to the original Xu Jie, but Xu Jie's is far stronger than Yan Song at the beginning.

There is a huge gap between the two, but at least Tang Yi will not be powerless.

After all, the Xu Party is expanding rapidly, the personnel are uneven, the internal distribution of stolen goods is uneven, and there are many contradictions, Tang Yi can still survive when he sees the stitches.

Don't push yourself too hard, Tang Yi gave himself a few days off, two baby sons, Ping An is about to go to school, and the second child is almost half a year old, and he has spent the most likely time in his life, the little guy looks very delicate, the big eyes of black beans, and Wang Yueying are carved out of the same mold.

Tang Yi couldn't put it down, as long as he had time, he held his son in his arms, kissed and gnawed, making the little poor cry before he was willing to stop.

A few days ago, Tang Shen sent a letter, before Tang Yi gave him a power, the name of the boss Ping'an was given by Wang Chen, which was originally used as a milk name.

But the irresponsible couple discussed, peace is a blessing, so it was regarded as a big trumpet, and it was not changed.

It is not possible to favor one over the other, no, it also gave Tang Shen a chance, and the name of the second child was given by him. After Tang Shen got the letter from home, he was both happy and worried, his old man deduced the Hetuluo book, the innate gossip, turned over more than a dozen ancient books, and found a monk and Taoist master, a pedantic master, to study together, and finally sent two words.

Ordinary!

After Tang Yi finished reading it, he really wanted to cry without tears.

On the contrary, Ping An is happy, the second brother's name is more casual than himself, grandpa is very good, and he has vision!

Wang Yueying thought for a long time and shook her head, "Forget it, the name is usual." Good to feed! ”

"Don't say it, if you don't know the third child, it's going to be called usual!" Tang Yi hugged his head and said depressedly.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye to this autumn and October, ordinary people have begun to babble, and Ping An has also been sent to Mengxue to study with Xiaoqi.

The Tang family is a thriving scene, but the Ming Dynasty is not the same. Although Xu Jie vigorously rectified the government and government, especially the way of speech, encouraged the book, and eliminated the old and the new, but the core financial problem, Xu Jie did not touch, of course, it is inaccurate to say this, Xu Jie touched, but touched in the opposite direction.

At the beginning, Tang Yi went south, and Yan Maoqing rectified the salt tax before and after, increased revenue, and the salt tax once reached more than three million taels, becoming another major source of tax for the imperial court after the city was silver.

After Xu Jie became the first assistant, he adopted the advice of the imperial history and reduced the salt tax to two million taels, and also said that it was a beautiful name, and the people rested.

Of course, Tang Yi also knew that in order to defeat Yan Song and buy off forces from all over the world, Xu Jie's tax reduction had already been agreed upon, and he had to do it as a last resort.

But without money, the so-called rectification of the government is destined to be just a decoration of flowers, and it will not have any effect.

On the contrary, Jiajing's desire to seek the Tao became stronger and stronger, and he built the Wanshou Palace, but also repaired the Shengshou Palace, and then expanded the Xuandu Temple and the Chaotian Temple, and invited people from all over the world to encourage all parts of the world to donate Dharma books.

Even Jiajing was moved by the giant python that Xu Huan and their sacrifices last time, and allocated 500,000 taels of silver to Xi Muyun to support him in his overseas treasure hunt and search for the elixir of life.

It's ironic to say, but with the support of the emperor, it is much easier to open up the ocean.

The income is not increasing, the expenses are still swelling, although the Yan Party is gone, the burden on the shoulders of the people is still heavy, and the young generation of officials represented by Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Yu Youding, Shen Lin, etc., are more and more disappointed in Xu Jie, after they have witnessed all kinds of ills in the officialdom, the belief in their hearts is firmer, only Yang Ming Xinxue can save the Ming Dynasty, and only Tang Yi can really lead the empire to Zhongxing!

Xu Ge Lao's power has become more and more consolidated, but he has become alienated from the mainstream of Xinxue, which means that the gentry group that originally stood behind Xu Jie, urgently needs to find a new co-master.

All of this is still quietly changing, and when people really notice it, it is a new wave sweeping in.

Even Tang Yi didn't notice these subtle changes, because a level of life and death was coming.

After entering November, people kept coming to visit and communicate their feelings, Tan Guang and they were still chattering, why did they come so early this year.

Tang Yi was clear in his heart, they were here to find out, Jiajing forty-two years, and it was another year of Jingcha, remembering that seven years ago, because of Jingcha, Li Mo and Yan Song were killed in the dark, Tang Yi was still a rookie at the beginning, all relying on Jiajing's protection, after several dangers, he survived safely.

Now that a group of people have gathered under his command, the big guy is facing the test of Jingcha, it depends on your ability to Master Tang.

Especially those who once fell to the strict party, they were even more afraid, for fear of being settled after the autumn.

Tang Yi is not in a hurry, although Xu Jie is domineering, but he has the oath of "three returns", and Jingcha is still directly responsible for the official department Shangshu and Zuodu Yushi.

Guo Pu, the official of the Ministry of Officials, and Gao Gong are friends, and they are also people on the side of King Yu, as for Zhang Yongming, the imperial history of the left capital, he has a good relationship with the teacher, with the help of these two, Tang Yi estimates that the loss will not be too big.

If you can survive this Jingcha, there will be a six-year development period, and at that time, Tang Yi will have the confidence to wrestle with anyone. He was kind enough to appease all the friends who came to visit, so that the big guy had enough self-confidence and just worked.

Sending off another wave of guests, Tang Yi was about to rest for a while, when suddenly Xu Wei came panting again, and Tang Yi was startled when he saw his virtue.

Sure enough, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was bad news, "Okay, Mr. Guo's mother has passed away, and he wants to return to his hometown to guard filial piety!" (To be continued.) )
