Chapter 177

The feast is not unique to the Ming Dynasty, dating back to the Han and Tang dynasties, such rules have been set for the monarch, and the purpose of the establishment is ostensibly to let the monarch know the history of the world better, but the monarch is the monarch after all, who wants to listen to those obscure and difficult to understand when the primary school students obediently listen to those obscure and difficult to understand the big truth, the soft and soft waist in the harem, the fragrant wine, and the pleasing silk and bamboo song and dance are obviously 10,000 times more attractive than listening to the old master's lectures.

In view of this, some emperors simply abolished this system, some occasionally perfunctory, and some reluctantly insisted on it in order to sell their fame and reputation, and very few emperors would stick to it to the letter.

In order to ensure the continuation of the next ten thousand years of the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang prescribed a series of education systems for the prince and even the emperor after ascending the throne.

To put it simply, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are different from other dynasties, due to the monopoly of the emperor's power, the sense of existence of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty is getting lower and lower, in order to find a sense of existence, the civil officials have developed an almost perverted paranoia, their subconscious always has an impulse to do against the emperor, they despise those civil officials who only dare not admonish, even if they annoy the emperor and are spanked by the court staff, it is also a supreme honor.

In line with this almost perverted concept, game conflicts between civil officials and the emperor often occur, and it is not uncommon to be spanked by the board, but the civil servants are tired of it, according to the words of later generations, if you have not been spanked by the emperor, you are embarrassed to greet people.

However, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also knows how to soothe these ministers, in addition to satisfying their desire to be spanked, more or less also give them some face, the feast is one of the ways to give face, the emperor sits there in general as a primary school student, listening to the ministers and Confucians talk about the past and the present, and from time to time satirize a few words of government, the glory can be imagined.

When Hongzhi was in power, he was tolerant of the ministers, and he was diligent in government affairs, and he never fell every time, which was also one of the reasons why Hongzhi had a harmonious relationship with the ministers in the eighteenth year of his reign, and the relationship between the inner court and the outer court was also generally stable, and there was no major conflict, but at the same time, on the other hand, the ministers felt more taken for granted.

With Mu Bin's slow narration, Song Nan's heart gradually became clear, after Zhengde's accession to the throne, the yang and yin should have hurt the arrogant self-esteem of the ministers, the inner court is the spokesperson of the emperor, in the choice of the spokesperson of the inner court, originally the minister didn't care who it was, or who he loved, in short, he couldn't pee in a pot; However, Zhu Houzhao's attitude towards the feast aroused the dissatisfaction of the civil officials, and if they wanted to save face, they would naturally choose to support Wang Yue Fan Heng's side, only in this way could they vent their dissatisfaction in their hearts, achieve the goal of secretly beating the emperor, and let the emperor understand the consequences of ignoring the civil officials.

In the final analysis, this is a hidden game between civil officials and the emperor.

Song Nan couldn't help but marvel at the drama and artistry of the political struggle, and it was simply incredible that a simple attitude contained many unknown factors.

"Song Nan, this is just the official's personal speculation, you don't have to take it seriously; However, the attitude of the cabinet of the outer court is basically clear, when the emperor was alive, the relationship between Wang Yue and the cabinet was very good, and after the cabinet vote was submitted to the six ministries, Wang Yue basically did not feel bad, of course, the attitude of the emperor determined Wang Yue's attitude, but as the eunuch who was in charge of the seal, the power of red in his hand was not a joke, and the fold was to be turned around from the master of ceremonies in front of the emperor. ”

Song Nan nodded silently, thought for a while, and said: "After such a little bit of attention from the lord, the humble position suddenly became much clearer in his heart, and the humble official had an idea in his heart, and the humble official thought that even if there was no matter on the feast day, I am afraid that the civil officials of the outer court of the cabinet would also support Wang Yue's side." ”

Mu Bin said: "Oh? How? ”

Song Nan said: "No matter how harmonious the relationship between Wang Yue and the cabinet was during the period of the first emperor, it is the urine nature of our Ming Dynasty civil officials as the adults said, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the civil officials should want to give a dismount in their hearts, not that they are not loyal to the monarch and do not love the Ming Dynasty, but only from the actual situation of our Ming Dynasty, the first shot is fired, and the rest of the things will be easy to do." ”

Mu Bin smiled and said: "Maybe, you have drawn inferences, it is not very proper for our two officials of Jinyi Wei to be locked up in this room and talk about the government and politics, let's stop here today, you know what I know today, I know what I know, I know, understand." ”

Song Nan arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, my lord, Song Nan is not a person who doesn't know the rules, but please also ask the commander to make it clear to my lordship, how should I deal with myself in Jinyiwei?" ”

Mu Bin pondered for a long time and said: "In extraordinary times, let's not follow the chaos and give people the handle, let's watch first; Everything has just begun, if this Liu Jin doesn't have a few brushes to deal with, he will never be in the position of the inner court, and see how he copes. ”

Song Nan nodded yes, and Mu Bin said again: "Song Nan, don't mix it recently, enter the palace less, and try to take the emperor to play with those things as little as possible, although it is harmless, but it is inevitable that there will be people who talk a lot in extraordinary times, and it is not good to really pull you in; Although the cabinet scholars don't have you in their eyes, but they are in a hurry, they can do anything, as you said, the emperor doesn't give them face, they will naturally try their best to force the emperor to give face, the emperor is good to you, this is well known, they can't be disrespectful to the emperor, but it is possible to hit you or other people around the emperor to disgust the emperor, everything is possible, you better be restrained. ”

Song Nan's scalp was numb, silent, I can't help but say that Mu Bin's words are reasonable, the relationship between the emperor and his subordinates in the Ming Dynasty is really wonderful, both loyal to the emperor, but pinned to each other's legs, what the fuck is this.

……

Song Nan said goodbye with a heavy heart, and when he returned home, he didn't want to do anything, so he asked Xiao Ping'er to boil a large wooden bucket of hot water when he entered the door, and the whole person soaked in the hot water, covered his face with a hot towel, and leaned back in the bucket to think about it carefully.

In fact, after listening to Mu Bin's words, Song Nan's worries intensified, if the cabinet scholars and officials of various ministries supported Wang Yue and Fan Heng, even if Zhengde had the intention to support Liu Jin and others, I am afraid that he would have to weigh the consequences, no matter what anger was between the monarchs and ministers, no matter how great the emperor's power was, he could not completely ignore the opinions of the ministers, especially the influence of the three major scholars in the cabinet.

The edict of the first emperor is still in the ear, the three scholars are the ministers appointed by the emperor to assist, Hongzhi's coffin is still parked in the temple, and it will not be buried until the completion of the Tailing Tomb in October.

The difference between victory and defeat is almost decided, Liu Jin's dream is afraid that it will be in vain, but after this incident, the arrogance of the outer court and the inner court are high, and the relationship between them is also closer, what should I do in the future? Could it be that he has been in the position of this brocade guard for the rest of his life? Can Fan Heng stop himself? Wouldn't it be a fart to promise the little grandfather to marry the little lord within two years?

The more Song Nan thought about it, the worse his mood became, his heart was inexplicably irritable, he felt that there was no comfort in his body, and he couldn't wait to yell and vent his depression.

A gentle hand covered Song Nan's forehead, Song Nan opened his eyes in a daze, only to see Ye Fanggu enter the house at some point, standing by the barrel, looking at Song Nan worriedly.

"Why are you here?" Song Nan smiled reluctantly.

"The slave family seems to be in a bad mood these days when they see you, so if you have anything on your mind, tell me about it." Ye Fanggu's face was slightly red, and after being in the same room for a long time, she was still a little unaccustomed to seeing Song Nan's smooth upper body.

Song Nan took her hand and kneaded it, and sighed: "It's useless to say it, it will only increase the troubles of the family." ”

Ye Fanggu walked behind Song Nan, kneaded her hands Song Nan's shoulders, and Song Nan closed her eyes with a moan.

"Don't you say that your family won't be worried? Your emotions affect a large family, don't you see your family talking and walking lightly? When you entered the house, you didn't pay attention to Qingli, so scared that she didn't dare to disturb you, begging me to come in and ask, you scared everyone with a straight face. Ye Fanggu said softly.

Song Nan didn't expect her emotions to affect her family's emotions so much, and said apologetically: "It's me who is not good, I shouldn't bring things outside home, Qingli will definitely think that I am moody, and I will apologize to her later." ”

Ye Fanggu leaned over and kissed Song Nan's smooth forehead and said: "It's not easy to support a big family, everyone understands your feelings, don't care, in fact, we just want to live a peaceful life, you don't have to be too stressed." ”

Song Nan told Ye Fanggu about the current problem, and sighed: "I don't want to be so troubled, but the problem is that this matter seems to have nothing to do with me, but it actually has a lot to do with it, Fan Heng has a grudge against me, if Wang Yue and Fan Heng win this battle, I don't want to touch Fan Heng a single hair in my life; And he won't let me go, because of Luo Fang's matter, Fan Heng will hate me to the bone, if I don't trouble him, he will trouble me, and we will never have a day of peace and tranquility. ”

Ye Fanggu frowned and said, "That's what you said, what are you going to do?" Didn't Mu Bin want you to look on coldly? ”

Song Nan shook his head and said: "Mu Bin can watch from the sidelines, but I can't, I have to find some way to stir it up, Liu Jin and Zhang Yong are in charge of the inner court, which is of great benefit to me, if I can help them win in this contest, maybe I can also avenge Fan Heng's poisoning of me, I can't sit idly by." ”

Ye Fanggu frowned and said: "However, you are just a brocade guard, according to what you said, the cabinet is involved, it is all a game between big people, what role can you play in it?" ”

Song Nan rolled his eyes and said, "I'm so unbearable in your mind?" ”

Ye Fanggu smiled: "I didn't mean that, I was worried that your low official position would not make any difference, and your image in my mind was still quite tall." ”

Song Nan heard Ye Fanggu's ridicule, and his stubbornness paused, and he suddenly stood up from the barrel and said with a smile: "How tall is it?" Is it that big? ”

Ye Fanggu screamed, seeing Song Nan standing in front of her naked, a steel cannon straight at herself, so frightened that she turned around and ran, Song Nan reached over and grabbed her waist and picked her up all over, and the two fell into the barrel with a pop.

Ye Fanggu struggled and said, "Don't, it's broad daylight." ”

Song Nan said: "What's wrong with Daylight? Who says you can't do this in broad daylight? ”

Ye Fanggu was soaked, her thin clothes were wrapped around her body, her curves were exquisite, Song Nan was almost spurting blood, Ye Fanggu was also planning to escape from the edge of the barrel, she just stood up, grabbed the edge of the barrel and climbed out, Song Nan saw that the pair of round beautiful buttocks were wet in front of her, and when she stretched out her hand, the two sturdy and plump hills were exposed.

Song Nan stood up, grabbed Ye Fanggu's slender waist with both hands, and stabbed it in the position, Ye Fanggu screamed, her body was paralyzed and lying on the edge of the barrel, Song Nan went in and out happily and fiercely, and while enjoying the joy of the world, a plan slowly appeared in her heart.
