Ma Lu would never have dreamed that the first person the Son of Heaven wanted to get rid of was not Zhang Yin, who was suspected of being the head of the White Lotus Sect, but him. Yang Chengzu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty think twice, Ma Lu should indeed be killed, but we also have to find a suitable reason." He was faithful to his duty and did nothing wrong, not even to arrest people, and we could not find him in trouble in this matter. It can only be said that Yang Ting and his subordinates are smart enough to slip and not leave their hands, and we can't catch his sore feet for the time being. Don't worry, the Zhang family is a big clan in Shanxi, and they also have their own arms and help in the court, if this kind of thing is not done well, the whole clan will be implicated, and the Zhang family will not sit still. When their men came out to fight back, His Majesty only needed to push the boat down the river, and Ma Lu would die without a place to be buried. Moreover, you can also take the opportunity to see how powerful the Zhang family is in the imperial court, although it is not good for Shoufu to hold the power, the gentry and the big families also cannot hold the power, and they all have to be dealt with. Yichen thinks about it, this matter is just the beginning, Yang Tinghe wants to deal with the minister, he will not only make this move, the follow-up actions will inevitably be continuous, I am afraid that he will be busy again. Otherwise, the minister went to Shanxi to avoid the limelight and check the guards in Shanxi. ”

Jiajing shook his head and said, "How can that be done?" The project over there in Baiyi'an, as well as the matter of dealing with the Zhang family here, you can't leave the big brother to handle it. Today's I am not like two years ago, even if those crowds rise up to attack, I can protect my eldest brother's safety. On the Shanxi side, send a letter to check it, and if it doesn't work, replace all the brocade clothes over there. When the former was abolished, they had no choice, and now if I only cut Shanxi's brocade clothes, no one will speak for them. ”

He made his position clear to support Yang Chengzu, so that Yang Chengzu's heart was a little more stable, and the idea of avoiding the limelight was a little lighter, just after eating Yongchun, when the two were still in love. If he leaves at this time, Yongchun, who is a first-time wife, will still suffer from lovesickness, and the mood that has just gotten better is estimated to be worse again.

Thinking about Yang Tinghe's possible next attack, the two of them discussed it and found that their current important shortcomings were still too weak in the literati. The strength of Gu Dingchen and Yan Song is still too thin to support the situation.

Of course, there is always manpower, for example, many of the officials who bought the VIP brand of Yang Ji Tea House were officials from other provinces who came to Beijing to wait for Quanxu, and those who were waiting to fill the vacancies in the Ministry of Officials. Some of them want to be big officials, and some want to let go of the real shortcomings, and they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money in order to achieve their goals. Yongshou fulfilled their wishes, helped them find a position, and in his hands, he also had the evidence that they bought ////. These people can be regarded as characters in the pocket of the Son of Heaven, if they are not used by the Son of Heaven, they can be removed with a wave of their hands, and they dare not rebel.

But these people are either not talented, or they are not qualified enough, and there are too few capable people. Yang Chengzu made suggestions to Jiajing based on Yang Yiqing's experience, following the example of the previous emperors of the Ming Dynasty, introducing children with the name of prodigies into the palace and teaching them to read. The future prince can also play with these prodigies and enhance their relationship, and when these people grow up, they will be a very good reserve of the Son of Heaven.

For example, Li Dongyang, a very famous genius in the Ming Dynasty, was held on his lap by the emperor when he was four years old and fed preserved fruits, and Yang Yiqing stayed in the palace until he was fourteen years old before going out to take the exam to become an official. Combined with the story of the twelve warriors in another time and space, Yang Chengzu's proposal was to raise these prodigies in the palace until they were ten years old before they were released. In the future, Xue Niang has a son, so let them play together and train the minister of the hidden mansion for the future son of heaven.

In addition to civil officials, the children of those noble families, and even some of the little eunuchs, also refer to this example, so that the prince and them can become friends of the general horn, and they can be used as the wings of the new monarch in the future, so that they will not lack enough henchmen like Jiajing.

In the choice of these people, they should also consider their origins, and if they are the children of a big clan, they must be restricted from entering the palace. Moreover, it is the teaching after entering the palace, so that they can only recognize the emperor and not the clan, which requires teaching from teaching materials to daily life, which is a relatively large and complex project.

Jiajing got Xue Niang, and he had already started the matter of the prince in his heart, Yang Chengzu also told him before, the prince grew up in the hands of women in the deep palace, and the shaping of the three views largely depended on those teachers who taught the prince to read. These masters are all Hanlin or cabinet ministers, and they are all talking about the way of the sage, no matter how your Son of Heaven can seize power, and win this generation, maybe the next generation will give away all the fruits of your victory.

For example, in the early years of the dynasty, Hongwu Jianwen was an old incident, which can illustrate this problem very well, if you want to teach the prince well and consolidate the fruits of victory, this difficulty is not lighter than fighting for power with civil officials.

Yang Chengzu's idea was to compile a set of systematic teaching materials, and then the Son of Heaven would teach him knowledge and help him establish the correct three views. As for the compilation of teaching materials, Yang Chengzu must be in charge, and for the pilot of cultivating young children, Yang Chengzu recommended Yan Song's son Yan Shifan.

His impression of this person still comes from some later generations, when he sang Peking Opera and beat Yan Song, he did some homework on the Yan family, and seemed to know that Yan Shifan was a cripple. It is impossible for such a person to enter the cabinet, and even if the education really fails, it will not have any bad effect. He is smart enough, it is said that after Yan Song is old, all his official affairs will depend on his son's cooking, and he will definitely be a wing.

Jiajing nodded, selected a few children from Xungui's family, and entered the palace to study, and ordered the bronze hammer and heavenly gift of Yang Chengzu's family. As for the newborn Tianyou, when he grows up to a few years old, he can't escape.

"No one else can come, they must come, no matter how well they read, the queen mother will be happy to see them. As long as the queen mother is happy, I will be happy, so there is no discussion about this matter. In the future, your daughter will be my daughter-in-law, this is a decision that cannot be changed, and your grandson must also be good friends with my grandson, and our two families will be the best of the best. Your children don't want to hide from the pure, they will all contribute to my children and grandchildren in the future, so that they can grow up together from an early age, and it is beneficial to know more about the following. ”

Yang Chengzu also knew that Jiajing's arrangement was to ensure his wealth for several lifetimes, so that his children and grandchildren could guarantee their official positions, and he was naturally grateful in his heart. He smiled: "The queen mother is happy, of course it is the duty of a minister, and the minister has nothing to say." Let's talk about when to make the Queen Mother and her old man happy. ”

Jiajing's face was happy, "Big brother, are you ready?" As long as you say yes, I'll be able to do it here. ”

"Long live rest assured, the preparations have already been done properly. I only think about you and the queen's wedding, and I don't have time to deal with such things. Now free up some hands, clean them up, and then talk about it, and just take Yang Xindu into the army, see how he handles himself in this matter. ”

Two days later, the queen Xue Niang, who was in the palace in the middle of the day, fainted for no reason, and the medicine stones did not work. Subsequently, Our Lady Jiang also suffered from the same illness, and Jiajing lost his temper several times in the palace in a hurry, and almost beheaded several imperial doctors.

Subsequently, Shenxiao Baoguo Honglie preached Zhenfa Tongzhen Loyalty and Filial Piety Bingyi Zhenren Tao Zhongwen was ordered to do so, knocking on the Xuan to eliminate the demon, Tao Zhenren Daoist Technique through Xuan, the supernatural power is vast, after a practice, the Queen Mother and the Queen have awakened one after another, but the spirit is still not very good. Tao Zhongwen then went to the book, according to his own supernatural powers, and found that among the Jingshi, there were people who practiced witchcraft and cursed the Son of Heaven. Just because the Son of Heaven has a hundred spirits to protect his body, he has not been harmed for the time being, but as time goes by, he will be hurt by evil. Before the witch Gu is completed, the demon must be brought to the case to ensure that the Son of Heaven and everyone in the palace are safe.

Subsequently, the Son of Heaven issued an order to urgently recruit Yang Chengzu into the palace to deal with the case with full authority, visit and take the evil within a time limit, and if there is laziness, he will not be severely punished. There are rumors in the capital that everyone is in danger, and these old people who have been up and down in the sea for many years understand that this time someone is afraid that someone is going to lose their heads.
