Chapter 558: Draw
Silently calculated the strength comparison, Xu Ge Lao quietly surpassed Yan Song?
Tang Yi kept drawing question marks in his heart, he didn't say much, but listened carefully, and gradually heard some clues. The matter is still due to Wu Peng's death.
No matter how much speculation there is, most people think that Wu Peng committed suicide in fear of crime, and as for whether he is the mastermind or an accomplice, put aside for the time being.
At least Wu Peng is guilty, and with the relationship between the Yan family's father and son and him, he will definitely not be able to get rid of it. The black curtain of the Jiuyang Society was lifted little by little, it is very likely that this is a cancer comparable to the White Lotus Sect, once it is touched, even if it is Yan Ge Lao, he will have to drink a pot.
His Majesty angered the Yan Party, and the consequences were even more serious, and some ****** originally saw the change in the limelight and fell to Xu Jie.
There is a more fatal point, the Yan Party is not monolithic, the core is naturally Yan Song and several of his godsons and grandsons, followed by Yan Ge's old year, fellow villagers, and relatives...... There is a core, there is a periphery, and many officials who rushed to turn over when they saw that the Yan family was powerful, they were not welcomed. People eat meat, and they drink some soup at most.
When the Yan Party was strong, the soup was enough to drink, but when the Yan Party showed fatigue and the core was not enough, the periphery was naturally unlucky.
Especially Wu Peng's death, which made these people's hearts cold. Lord Tianguan can die in a daze, what are they worth, if they don't do it, their lives will be over.
In a word, people's minds change.
In the past few days, Xu Jie, regardless of his identity, turned in his knots and visited him in person. Qu is a corporal, amiable, so that the officials can see the arrogance and domineering that is different from Yan Song's father and son, Xu Jie's sea has been up and down for decades, and he has a unique observation and detailed understanding of every official in the capital, and talks to him. I feel warm from the heart, and I have the sigh of the parents of the person who gave birth to me and the old Xu Ge who knows me.
The people's hearts are back, and Xu Jie, at least in terms of morale, is better than the stormy Yan Ge Lao.
Not to mention anything else, just the people of Xu Ge's old family are talking loudly. Paine, Huang Guangsheng, Zheng Xiao, etc., talked loudly and triumphantly, and from time to time squinted at the Yan party members with provocative eyes, and said clearly: "Sample, you are finished!" ”
Yan Dang's side had the heart to refute, but it was miserable and weak. They shook their heads and sighed, as if the sky was about to fall and a catastrophe was coming.
Just looking at the realization of his expression, Xu Jie has won.
Is it just that simple?
Tang Yi thought about it and didn't dare to be sure. He noticed that among the six Shangshu, in addition to the teacher Tang Shunzhi, Xu Dang only had one insignificant Shangshu Lei Li. The rest are all Yan Dang, or people who are close to Yan Dang.
On the other hand, Xu Dang's side. It is mainly a squire, a deputy capital imperial history, a capital imperial history, and idle positions such as Xiao Jiuqing.
Although they are all members of the imperial court, the difference is too great.
Tang Yi has also been a feudal official, and he knows the difference, no matter when, the official is the last to make a decision. As long as you move your mouth, the deputy will run and break your leg.
Something happened, it was guaranteed that the deputy carried the black cauldron, and they were infamy, and they were in the midst of thousands of flowers. The leaves do not stick to the body. Don't be unconvinced, you have the ability to grab power and snatch a good position!
From another point of view, the dispute between the Yan Party and the Xu Party is the snatching of the second-in-command and the first-in-command.
At the feet of every successful person, there are a large number of losers. Xu Dang is a collection of relatively losers, with beautiful dreams, ready to come to a gorgeous counterattack.
Tingtui is the best tool, whether it is Shangshu or Shilang here, there is only one vote, with a few heads, you may not be afraid of your strict party!
But there is always a gap between dreams and reality, no matter how many henchmen are gathered by a single grievance, they are all loose, and only the connection of interests is the most unbreakable.
The strict party has controlled the world for 20 years, and every decision they make and every personnel appointment has fattened a large number of people. Ironically, the collection of villains is always stronger than that of gentlemen.
The more they came to the crisis, the more they cooperated and cooperated closely, because they all understood that once they lost, they would not only lose their official positions and resign, but they might even take their lives. Unlike Huang Guangsheng and others, who believed that the Yan Party would fall and scatter, Tang Yi was more inclined to jump over the wall and fight back......
A cold wind blew, and thick clouds covered the sky overhead, and the thick clouds were like a big stone, pressing down on my heart.
Tang Yi even regretted it a little, if he persuaded Xu Jie to be patient for a while, and wait until Old Madam Yan died before launching an attack, maybe the chances of winning would be greater.
But it's okay, if Xu Jie's win is too easy, he will definitely not have a good time in the future.
Tang Yi knows very well that allies who rely on a common enemy to come together, when the enemy disappears, it is inevitable to turn their faces ruthlessly.
With complicated emotions, with the crowd, he entered the Yuxi Palace.
Tang Yi habitually glanced at the throne, Jiajing did not appear, only the chief steward Mai Fu stood there. The years are ruthless, McFu's sideburns are crawling with age spots, and his hair is gray, but I am afraid that there are not many days left to stand by Jiajing's side.
Tang Yi thought for a moment, and then lowered his head, silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, since the beginning of the summer, it has not rained for more than a month, Your Majesty is anxious, restless sleep, three days ago, retreat to pray for rain, today's court push will be presided over by the cabinet. Looking at the two elders, adhering to the public heart, for the country. ”
Jiajing didn't come, the big guys were stunned, Yan Song was the first to react, prostrate on the ground, and said loudly: "Your Majesty respects the heavens and loves the people, the cold wind outside is suddenly rising, and the clouds are thick, presumably in a moment or three, there will be happy rain coming, and the ministers will replace the people of the world, thank the emperor!" ”
"Ministers, thank the emperor!"
Hundreds of officials kowtowed together, and Tang Yi was no exception.
When the sycophants were finished, McFuy turned and left, and the official court push began.
I saw Xu Jie standing up first, "The head of the Ministry is in charge of the promotion of hundreds of officials, rewards and punishments, the position is respected and powerful, and it is indispensable for a day, today we uphold the emperor's order, and hereby elect the virtuous, I hope you will be open and honest, and do not live up to the grace of the saint." ”
Xu Jie's words were stable, but those in the know could see that he had learned the lesson of the last time, and because Yan Song temporarily changed the rules of procedure, Zhao Zhenji was overshadowed.
This time, Xu Jie preemptively set the issue and did not give Yan Dang a chance to turn around.
From this detail alone, it can be seen how well Xu Dang prepared this time and did not give the opponent a chance.
Sure enough, after Xu Ge Lao finished speaking, Zhang Yongming, the imperial history of Zuo Yudu, stood up, "I recommend the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, Master Guo Puguo, he is an honest official, treats people modestly, is known in the world for his knowledge and character, and is familiar with the affairs of the ministry, he is the best candidate to take over the Ministry of Officials!" ”
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes fell on a tall old man.
Guo Puzi Qianfu, a native of Anyang, Henan, was a Jinshi in Jiajing for 14 years, was selected as a Shujishi, and for more than 20 years, he was promoted many times, and was transferred from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Officials. On the whole, Guo Pu's resume is the standard Hanlin promotion route, there is nothing brilliant, it is smooth and steady, and it is a matter of course.
Guo Pu's biggest ability is to write green words, Jiajing is good, and the demand for green words is almost unlimited. Writing this kind of ghost drawing that communicates with ghosts and gods requires strong associative skills and the ability to talk nonsense. Therefore, there are not many officials who can control Qingzi and make Jiajing fascinated.
Among the top masters, Xu Ge Lao and Yan Ge Lao are among them, but Xu Jie is a real skill, and Yan Song relies on his son to simulate. In addition to them, the ones who can be counted are Yuan Wei, Yan Ne, Li Chunfang and others, as for Guo Pu, although the number of green words in this old is not much, the quality is extremely high, and it can almost suppress Yan Ne and Li Chunfang, becoming the top five masters in the world.
It's a shame to say, Tang Yi also knows that Qingci is a shortcut to promotion, he has worked hard, and his friend Xu Wei and cousin Wang Shizhen are all famous talents in the world, can't they still put Qingci on the table?
As it turns out, they just can't.
Needless to say, Tang Yi advocates rigorous logic, detailed reasoning, and every time he plays, it is a long speech, like doing a thesis.
It's just that Qingzi doesn't pay attention to logic, and what he wants is Li Taibai's flying head to catch the moon. Unfortunately, Tang Yi was defeated.
Wang Shizhen's writing did not say that his problem is that he is too reserved, always cherishes feathers, is unwilling to write almost meaty, disgusting touting, always afraid of leaving a name in history, and wants Tang Yi to say, what kind of garlic do you pretend, when Lao Tzu doesn't know that you are Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng!
Xu Wei is shameless enough, but this guy has no perseverance, and when the spirit comes, he can write amazing articles, such as the famous "Into the White Deer Table", but he is not interested, and the things he writes taste the same as chewing wax, which is not much better than Tang Yi.
Tang Yi also accepted his fate, all in all, those who can write good words are a little divine, it depends on whether Guo Pu can go down.
As soon as the election was completed here, the Yan Party was unceremonious, and immediately elected Ouyang Bijin, the imperial history of the left capital.
The last time Xu Jie wanted to snatch the imperial history of the left capital, he was ready to promote Tang Shunzhi and Ouyang Bijin to fight, this old man is worthy of Tang Shunzhi's shot, which shows his weight.
Don't think that Ouyang Bijin was promoted to a high position because of Yan Song's relationship, in fact, when this old man made his career, Yan Song was still studying in the mountains.
Ouyang Bijin is a 12-year Jinshi of Zhengde, seniority is still above the Xu Rank, the first director of the Ministry of Rites, and later served as the political envoy of Zhejiang, the governor of Yunyang, the governor of Liangguang, the imperial history of two Kyoto, and also worked in the criminal department, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Shangshu, he was a senior official in the ministry, almost all older than Tang Yi's age, and every term of office has outstanding political achievements, Jiajing once personally wrote the words "Duan Shen Laocheng", sent to Ouyang Bijin.
Speaking of providence, if it weren't for Yan Song's brother-in-law, Ouyang Bijin would definitely become a generation of famous ministers, and even have the opportunity to enter the cabinet.
The two sides are arguing with each other, arguing about qualifications, comparing merits, talking about character, and frankly speaking Guo Pu is a cut worse than Ouyang Bijin.
However, Xu Dang's morale is high and his will to fight is strong, just because you are Yan Song's brother-in-law, don't think about sitting in the position of Tianguan.
Without saying a word, the vote was won or lost, and after some voting, Xu Jie took the jar with his own hands, took out the mung beans and red beans inside, counted them carefully, and counted them three times.
Eighteen against eighteen!
How could it be a tie! Xu Jie froze instantly. (To be continued.) )
