The house slave hunched his waist and took the dustpan to pour out the broken porcelain, it was the seventh time in the day, since Zhao Wenhua was raided, Yan Shifan was furious, smashing things in the study, jumping and scolding, scolding Lu Bing bastard, scolding Zhao Wenhua for looking for death, scolding hundreds of officials for being ruthless, in his heart, the most ruthless scolding is Jiajing.

It's really ruthless, no matter what Zhao Wenhua says, he doesn't avoid arrows, he doesn't work hard, others don't dare to go, he went to the southeast to supervise the army, and finally appointed Hu Zongxian and stabilized the overall situation.

In the Ministry of Industry, although Zhao Wenhua was corrupt, he also did a lot of things for Jiajing, the palace and Taoist temples were repaired, and the outer city was also built with eyebrows. They affirmed a lot of rhetoric, saying that they would work hard for the people and hurt money, and that they should cherish the people's strength, only our Yan family, father and son, and only our people could do errands for you Jiajing regardless of reputation, why don't you even talk about any affection?

Yan Shifan was tired of scolding, sitting on the chair, panting.

When the anger is lessened, the fear wells up irrepressibly. The fall of Zhao Wenhua not only lost a lackey, but also made Yan Shifan's rabbit and fox sad and sad.

How many of those people killed by Zhao Wenhua were thorns in Jiajing's eyes, he was helping the emperor to do things, being a villain, and being a pioneer, but Jiajing treated him like papyrus, wiped it and threw it away, not knowing how to pity it at all. Instead, he took away all the wealth that Zhao Wenhua had worked so hard to accumulate.

Yan Shifan is not afraid, to put it mildly, he is more greedy than Zhao Wenhua, and his reputation is worse than Zhao Wenhua. One day, Jiajing was angry, and an order came down, and he could be arrested.

Thinking of this, Yan Shifan broke out in a cold sweat. One eye flickered and shone continuously. He got up in his clothes, stepped on the moonlight, and came to his father's yard, and the study was brightly lit.

Old Yan Song sat silently under the lamp and didn't say a word.

"Daddy, my son is here."

Yan Song didn't speak for a long time. Yan Shifan asked again. Yan Song let out a long sigh, "Alas, in the final analysis, it's all because he was too ruthless to Li Mo at the beginning, even if he was spared, as for Lu Bing, he shouldn't be squeezed into Tianjin!" ”

Yan Shifan was unconvinced and said: "Dad, you must know that the urine kang will sleep on the sieve, no matter how powerful Lu Bing is, how can he dare to do it to our masters?" Back then, he killed Xia Yan with us. This matter is going to be pierced, and Lu Bing is also a dead end. Don't look at him pretending to be a corporal of Lixian, he has a good reputation in Shilin, but the scholar and his Jinyi Wei leader are not all the way at all. ”

Yan Song shook his head, "Of course, Lu Bing doesn't dare to tear his face with us, but there are some things that can ruin our big things as long as he secretly does something." ”

I have to say that Lao Yan Song still has a vision. Without the cooperation of Jinyiwei, at least there will be more news that is not conducive to the Yan Party. Over time, Jiajing's views will gradually change.

Yan Shifan also knows what it tastes like, but he believes in the philosophy of not regretting and not doing it, let alone Lu Bing, even Jiajing doesn't want him to bow his head easily.

Speaking of which, Tang Yi and Yan Shifan are all the way at this point. Don't look at the surface and serve carefully, but in your heart you despise the imperial power very much.

"Dad, Lu Bing has Yuan Heng staring at him, the power of Dongchang has recovered a lot in the past few months, and the trouble in the inner court is not big. The key is to stabilize the capital and not lose the officials! ”

Yan Song was getting old in the end, and his brain couldn't turn around for a while, Yan Shifan reminded in a low voice: "Dad, it will be Jingcha in a few months!" ”

Yan Song was shocked, as soon as Zhao Wenhua fell, the Jingcha he presided over naturally became a target, and many officials were eager to try to overturn the results of Jingcha and overturn the case for those who lost their official positions and dismissed them, but Yan Dang's efforts were pressed and they did not succeed.

But next year will be the year of Jingcha, and once the official tribe falls into the hands of others, it will definitely be a brutal massacre for the Yan Party.

And with Li Mo's previous experience, he will definitely be more careful and avoid the calculations of the strict party.

Yan Song shook his head, "Alas, once Wenhua goes, who can bear the burden of the subordinates?" ”

"Dad, my son thinks it's not about who we push, but who the other party pushes."

Yan Songshou raised his eyebrows, and nodded thoughtfully, their father and son had already planted Zhao Wenhua, if the qualifications and fame of the personnel recommended by the other party were enough, Jiajing would most likely push the boat down the river and be happy to see it.

So what is the right candidate for Xu Jie, first of all, Feng Tianyu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, he is also a member of the Heart Sect, and his friendship with Tang Shunzhi Xu Jie's is good, he has been the right deputy imperial envoy, and he has also been the right attendant of the Criminal Department, and his qualifications are barely enough, but he himself is the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and there will always be some melons and fields under the Shangshu.

Get rid of Feng Tianyu, the rest is Zhao Zhenji, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Zheng Xiao, the imperial envoy of the right capital, although the grade is enough, but after all, there is no one-sided side, in contrast, Yan Song has Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Peng, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and Ouyang Bijin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, all of whom are excellent candidates.

Although Jiajing dislikes the strict party, he will not throw aside the rules of officialdom.

Yan Song thought about it, it didn't seem to be a big problem, and he looked at Yan Shifan suspiciously, what was he worried about?

Yan Shifan just smiled bitterly and spit out three words, which startled Yan Song.

"Tang Shunzhi! Dad, what if Xu Jie's recommendation of Tang Shunzhi? ”

This can be asked Yan Song, Tang Shunzhi is the secretary of the military department, his political achievements are outstanding, and he became famous early, unfortunately he also has a baby apprentice Tang Yi, love the house and Wu, Jiajing's opinion of Tang Shunzhi is very good, the last time he robbed the governor of the southeast, Xu Jie mentioned Tang Shunzhi.

If Xu Jie's re-election of Tang Shunzhi this time and snatching the heavenly officials, there are really not many people on the Yan Dang's side who can stop it!

Tang Shunzhi is not only famous, but also talented and powerful, especially because he has a great reputation in the literary world and has led soldiers. If he is allowed to sit firmly in the Ministry of Shangshu and join hands with Xu Jie, it will be enough for the strict party to drink a pot.

"Tang Shunzhi must not be allowed to snatch the position of heavenly official!" Yan Song gritted his teeth and said.

Yan Shifan nodded vigorously, "That's right, it's not just that the heavenly officials can't let it, it's best to press Tang Shunzhi in the southeast, and he can't turn over forever!" ”

……

In the blink of an eye, the day of Tingtui has arrived, and the two parties of Yan and Xu have opened their posture and are ready to do a big job. The first thing recommended by Yan Dang was Wu Peng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

This can startle Xu Jie, the rumor that originally came out was Wu Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, why would he be temporarily replaced! Xu Jie's brows frowned slightly, Wu Peng was two subjects earlier than Wu Shan, and at the same time, two subjects earlier than Tang Shunzhi who he wanted to recommend, so in terms of qualifications, Tang Shunzhi would not have an advantage.

Yan Dang's news is really well-informed! Xu Jie knew that at this time, he couldn't help but retreat, stepped forward, and strongly recommended Tang Shunzhi, the secretary of the Southern Military Department.

The two sides are arguing with each other, not giving in to each other, arranging qualifications, merits, fame, and all aspects, Tang Shunzhi and Wu Shan have each other's shortcomings and strengths, and no one can convince anyone, so in the end, there is no way, they can only rely on voting.

After walking down, Wu Peng got seventeen votes, and Tang Shunzhi was only one vote short, unfortunately lost, after Xu Jie heard the result, his face turned white in an instant, in the end, the Yan Party's minions are sharp, even if it is so unfavorable, they can still win, I really don't know if such a good opportunity is lost, will it come again!

Just when Xu Jie was disappointed, suddenly the curtain in front of Jiajing was windless, and Emperor Daojun held a jade ruyi and walked out.

"Elder Yan Ge recommended Wu Peng, if I remember correctly, Zhao Wenhua listed him as superior!"

Swish!

Yan Song's sweat came down, this is Jiajing going over old accounts!

Yan Song could only stubbornly say: "Your Majesty, it's true, it's just that the old minister thinks that Zhao Wenhua's crime is in one person, and it seems that it shouldn't be implicated too much, for example, Tang Yi, a bachelor in Hanlin, was rated as superior by Zhao Wenhua, which shows that Jingcha is still fair." ”

is worthy of being an old man, Yan Song actually talked about Tang Yi and blocked Jiajing's mouth.

Jiajing was speechless for a while, but Xu Jie's eyes lit up, and Yan Song did not hesitate to disobey Jiajing's will for the sake of the officials. It seems that Yan Song also knows the importance of the ministry, and he will definitely not let go.

Did he go home empty-handed this time?

Xu Jie quickly turned his brain, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Yan Ge Lao said is very true, but then Lord Wu Peng and Wu are appointed as the secretary of the ministry, and the post of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry is vacant, and now the outer city is under construction, and the West Garden is also being built, and the affairs are busy, so the Ministry of Industry can't be empty!" ”

Jiajing showed a small face and said, "Then who does Xu Ge think is suitable?" ”

"Your Majesty, after thinking about it, he still recommended Tang Shunzhi, although he is in charge of the military department in the southeast, but in order to defend against the Japanese invaders, build castles, dig canals, build military camps, and supervise ordnance, these things are all clear, let him take over the Ministry of Works, he will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort."

As soon as the question was answered, the candidate was given, and the party did not allow refutation at all.

Jiajing smiled and sighed: "Xu Ge Lao has the wisdom to know people, Tang Shunzhi's solid intentions are well known, such a talent is also wronged in the southeast, not to mention that it is enough to have Hu Zongxian in the southeast, Yan Ge Lao, don't you say?" ”

Jiajing seemed to ask casually, but his tone was unquestionable.

Yan Shifan, who was standing behind his father, suddenly felt that things were not good, and joked, the Ministry of Industry was his money bag, and he built palaces, canals, rivers, and cities every year, and all aspects added up, and there could be millions of pockets.

If Tang Tang Shunzhi took over the book of the Ministry of Industry, it would be equivalent to sending a emperor to press on his head, how could he be corrupt!

Even if he loses the ministry, he doesn't want to lose the ministry, Yan Shifan has the heart to refute, but he feels a strong force coming from his arm, his father is pinching him hard, Yan Shifan grinned, and barely swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

Yan Song trembled and said: "The old minister also thinks that Tang Shunzhi is a cadre, enough to take over the position of the Great Sikong. In fact, when he said this, the old guy's heart was dripping blood, of course he was unwilling to give up the Ministry of Works, but Jiajing's attitude was already very clear, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and being able to get to the Ministry of Officials is already considered to be a mercy under Jiajing, and if you don't cut a piece of meat, don't think about passing the test.

The two pavilion elders spoke, and there was any doubt, Tang Shunzhi quickly passed it with a high vote, and the holy decree was issued, just waiting for Tang Shunzhi to enter Beijing. (To be continued.) )
