Chapter Twenty-Five: Wine and Wealth (1)

In this court discussion, some people suffered, some people were unlucky, and some people benefited.

The most unlucky person is not Zhao Wenhua, nor Yang Yi, nor Hu Zongxian, it should be Qiu Luan.

Xia Mu calculated, Qiu Luan is estimated to have died of illness now, and he followed his old teammate Lu Bing, but don't think that if he dies, he will be a hundred, the emperor's words are not a joke, and you will be held accountable if you die, what should I do?

Pluck Qiu Luan's grave, knock his head down, and let him die again!

After three rounds, he should have retired from the dynasty, but Lao Yan Song made another illness and mentioned one thing.

"Your Majesty, the former official Yang Jisheng impeached Qiu Luan Mashi for his plan and was demoted to the Dao Side, should he be recalled?"

When Jiajing heard it, he remembered that hard bone, when Qiu Luan mentioned the horse market plan, only that hard bone wrote the impeachment himself, but now when he thinks about his advice, Emperor Jiajing has mixed feelings in his heart.

"The edict ordered Yang Jisheng to be reinstated, and in a few months, he was promoted to the head of the household department in Nanjing, and then promoted to the member of the criminal department." Jiajing may feel that he is quite embarrassed to demote Yang Jisheng to Di Dao, and actually let him rise faster than he took a plane.

Xia Mu originally thought that he had been promoted from a sixth-grade thousand households to a fourth-grade suppressor very quickly, but compared to this old man, he was simply a snail.

But that's not all.

I only heard Yan Song continue: "Holy Lord, there has been a vacancy in the Military Election Division of the Ministry of War recently, do you think you want Yang Jisheng to go to the Ministry of War?" ”

Xia Mu was surprised this time, Yang Jisheng was a student of Xu Jie, why did Lao Yan work so hard? Thinking about it, he glanced at the teacher Xu Jie, only to see Xu Jie's low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and he made a fortune in a muffled voice, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

I'm afraid that on the day Yang Jisheng, a senior brother he has never met, returns, the capital will face another big earthquake.

That is the case of Yang Jisheng, the first tough guy in the ages, who died and bombed Yan Song, which is an extremely strong stroke in the history of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, and its name is no less than that of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of Wanli.

The so-called heroes know heroes, I really want to take a look at the demeanor of Yangjiao Mountain!

But having said that, Senior Brother Yang can come back this time to thank Yan Song, the poorest place in the military department is the Ministry of Staff, and the richest is undoubtedly the Wuxuan Division. The promotion and demotion of military generals completely depends on the stroke of the pen in the hands of the military selection division, and the fat is flowing. Yan Song was reluctant to give up this position, it seemed that he was bleeding.

But Yan Song's actions are no matter how Xia Mu sees them, it is purely a stupid B move by this old man after being driven crazy by Li Mo, and the old Yan Tou naturally does not appreciate Yang Jisheng's integrity and selflessness, then there is only one reason, Yan Song actually hopes to buy Yang Jisheng with his official position and interests!

It's ridiculous!

Yan Song wants to buy Yang Jisheng?

It's as hilarious as hearing Yao Ming go ballet.

It's not your job, you have to do it!

He thought that Qiu Luan was Yang Jisheng's enemy, and Yan Song brought down Qiu Luan, so he was equivalent to helping Yang Jisheng? Should Yang Jisheng be grateful to him?

But Yan Song didn't know that on Yang Jisheng's list of enemies, Qiu Luan could only always rank second, and the first position had always been reserved for his old man.

Stupid, Yan Song is playing with fire this time.

Because a selfless person like Yang Jisheng is incomprehensible to Lao Yantou, there are always one or two selfless people in every era!

For example, Bao Qingtian, Yue Fei, Hai Rui, Yang Jisheng......

"Your Majesty, today is the sixth day of the first month, and it will be the time of the Beijing examination in three months, may I ask your majesty, whether the exam questions have been released, and who is the examiner appointed?" Since Li Mo is a scholar of the ministry, the country's talent ceremony must be remembered by him, the emperor can forget jì in cultivation, but he can't forget jì.

"The exam questions are ready." Jiajing nodded slightly and said, "The examiner will follow the original designation, let's let Yuan Wei go." ”

"Yes!" Li Mo was a little disappointed when he saw that the examiner was not himself, Yuan Wei was an old courtier, and he was a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and he entered the cabinet earlier than Xu Jie, only because he was older this year, so he took a back seat, but in the past Beijing examination, Yuan Wei is a well-deserved examiner, just because the old man is not dead or alive and still occupies the name of a scholar of Hanlin Academy.

And a war without gunpowder ended in the hands of Emperor Jiajing.

Everyone beat it and gave them some sweet dates.

It's just that according to Xia Mu's point of view, in this invisible confrontation, it seems that Emperor Jiajing is making the tide of the overall situation and has won an overwhelming victory, but in fact, Yan Song is not damaged at all, he retreats with his whole body, Xu Jie takes out the governor of the southeast, and severely damages Li Mo's momentum.

The co-authorship is for Emperor Jiajing, everyone cooperated with a big show, and Emperor Jiajing, who watched the play, thought that he really mastered the future!

It's hard to say who will play who at the end of the day!

However, in the end, on a whim, Jiajing actually wanted to let the 12th Regiment Battalion of the Admiral go south to fight against the Japanese. Xia Mu's head was big when he heard this, because there were not so many people in the 12th Regiment Battalion of the Admiral at all.

It's funny to say, when Lu Bing was in charge of the Jinyi Guard, he was very good, but that was only the Jinyi Guard, which expanded from a few thousand to 150,000 people, which is equivalent to more than four times the total strength of the forbidden army, but the 12th Regiment of the Admiral has become a showmanship.

One hundred years ago, during the defense of Beijing, under the construction of the minister Yu Qian, the three battalions of the capital that had lost their combat effectiveness were transformed into 12 regiments and battalions, and the strength of the army was reduced to 140,000.

But later, after the change of Tumubao, the 12th Regiment and Battalion of the Admiral did not recruit any more troops, and the number of people was getting smaller and smaller, and after decades, the so-called 100,000 troops were now only more than 50,000 people! More people are still moths who eat empty salaries, and it is a joke to let the 12th regiment and battalion of the Admiral kill the Japanese slaves.

Thinking about Xia Mu, he hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, go south to fight against the Japanese, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better for the southeast soldiers to use them for the southeast war, first, the southeast soldiers are familiar with the terrain and the habits of the Japanese slaves, and the second is that they are nearby, and the rescue is much faster." ”

Jiajing looked at the newly recruited envoy and began to share his worries, and he was very happy in his heart: "Guangzhong said well, just do as you say." ”

Li Mo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, the person who could make the emperor shout the words cordially, the entire court was only him, Lao Yantou, and Lao Xu Tou, but the three of them were all old foxes over half a hundred, and Xia Mu's doll was only in his early twenties, and this potential made them tremble.

Xia Mu looked at the emperor's happy appearance, decided to strike while the iron was hot, and continued: "Holy Lord, the minister has a reluctant request. ”

Jiajing's laughter continued: "Say." ”

"Minister...... The minister wants to participate in this imperial examination! ”

As soon as the words came out, the court was shocked!

Jinyi Wei belongs to the emperor's forbidden army, and the imperial examination is a national talent ceremony, which is two institutions, and it is a joke to intervene, even if Xia Mu wants to take the exam, he should also participate in the martial arts, not the imperial examination!

I saw that Emperor Jiajing's face sank instantly: "Isn't it good to be a close minister of my forbidden army?" Do you have to hang out with those Kedao officials? ”

Xia Mu is speechless, how about being a close minister? After you die, your son becomes the emperor, I am not far away, once the son of heaven and a courtier, what he is talking about is Jinyiwei, the new emperor will naturally replace his close ministers when he ascends the throne, and he will not play in vain at that time.

However, if you can participate in the imperial examination justifiably, you can enter the Hanlin Academy, and it will no longer be a dream to enter the cabinet and become the first assistant.

In fact, Xia Mu's goal has always been to become a figure like the first assistant of the cabinet.

-- A capable minister who rules the world, and a hero in troubled times.

Xu Jie's hearing this, it was shocking, it turned out that Xia Guangzhong really coveted the position of the cabinet, this son's ambition is not small! There is a lot of vigilance.

Li Mo also frowned, but judging from Xu Jie's appearance, he seemed to be very jealous of this disciple, and since this Xia Mu was ambitious, he could buy it.

Old Yan Song also thought about it, the so-called one more enemy is better than one more friend, if he can buy Xia Yan......

But this thought was extinguished by him before it arose, because he knew deep that he was the enemy of the Xia family, and Xia Yan died at his hands.

If you can't be a friend, you are an enemy, and he never treats enemies softly.

Thinking about Yan Song, he hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the imperial examinations have been obtained from the township examination, and after ten years of hard study, Xia Mu has not participated in the township examination, let alone won the examination, if he is allowed to participate in the imperial examination, wouldn't it be a mess of the ancestral patriarchal law!" ”

Xu Jie rarely stood with Yan Song and echoed: "Yan Ge's old words are reasonable, Your Majesty, there are no rules, there is no circle, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, and the ancestral patriarchal law is greater than the sky!" ”

Jiajing watched the two ministers begin to unite and attack Xia Mu, and he was overjoyed, wasn't this exactly what he wanted? Didn't he cultivate Xia Mu in the hope of supporting a person other than the Li Party, the Yan Party, and the Xu Party, who could restrain the three parties and only listen to his own words?

Thinking that Jiajing was scheming, he suddenly changed his attention: "Quasi-Xia Mu is a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven, and he is a special case to participate in this imperial examination in the capital!" ”

"Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is not possible!"

"I've made up my mind, no need to say more!"

"In the light, thank Your Majesty and Longen, the ministers must do their best to be loyal to His Majesty and to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Stand down, I'm going to enlighten the Dao Fa!"

The curtain was slowly lowered by Huang Jin, and Emperor Jiajing sat on the futon and knocked on the jade pestle.

Xia Mu's face was full of joy, and he slowly withdrew from the main hall behind several ministers who had their own thoughts, and walked in the direction of Zichen Palace.

The moon stars are scarce, and the jackdaws are sorrowful!

A few people came out only to find that it was already dusk.

In the meantime, June has passed, and the city of Beijing, which is expected to be cold in spring, has become a slaughter. There were a few spring thunders, and then the cold rain was pulled all over the sky, and the weather became more and more cold, so cold that the dog shrank his neck and the horse sprayed his nose.

After the five watch drums of the city towers were beaten, the bleak and quiet capital suddenly became noisy, and the sound of shouting, avoiding sedan chairs, horses' hooves, and singing was noisy and noisy. On the streets leading to the imperial city, official sedans of all sizes were hurriedly carried one after another.

At this time, the big inner carved room leaked the room to report the Yin card, only to see the cabinet yamen in the southeast corner of the noon gate of the imperial city, and the two heavy vermilion lacquer doors were slowly pushed open by Si Yan.

Yan Song, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xu Jie, the second assistant, walked out of the door, and Li Mo and Xia Mu followed. At this time, the light and rain stopped, and the melodious and majestic bells and drums echoed among the red walls and green tiles.

The two ministers walked in the lead, and as soon as they walked out of the gate, a cold wind blew in their faces, blowing Li Mo's neatly combed beard into a mess.

"It's June, and the wind is still so biting." Li Mo straightened his beard while saying to Xia Mu in his thick Henan accent, "In the light, the old man wants to congratulate you, you can go straight to the sky at a young age, you will be favored by Your Majesty, and your career in the future will be unlimited!" ”

"Li Ge Lao said with a smile, in the next life, you still need the support of your predecessors," Xia Mu, who was dignified and dignified, replied slowly.

Xu Jie walked to the front with a calm face and didn't speak, and at this moment, seeing Xia Mu and Li Mo hooking up, he was very unhappy in his heart, and said in a deep voice with a dark face: "In the light, you won this honor at a young age, don't forget your roots, let alone be proud of your achievements, and forget your ancestors!" ”

Xu Jie's words were there, how could Xia Mu not understand, this was a warning to him, don't forget the family feud, take revenge, and return it to the teacher who relies on him.

Hearing this, Xia Mu was busy with a smile, nodded and smiled: "What the teacher said is that students naturally have to rely on the teacher's support, and the teacher is the leader!" ”

When Xu Jie heard this, he laughed: "In the light, come to my house tonight, teacher, I will set up a celebration banquet for you." ”

"Students must be there on time."

Xu Jie nodded with satisfaction. Along the way, several people were speechless, and walked out of the cabinet gate for dozens of steps, and then arrived at the Huiji Gate.

I saw two brocade guards with ebony cards on their waists wiping the foundation pillars of the Huiji Gate, and when they saw the two auxiliary ministers coming over, they hurriedly avoided it and stood with their hands down.
