Chapter 317: The Son of Heaven Has Many Hearts

The relationship between people is wonderful, such as Jiajing, this person is a real loner in the Ming Dynasty, this person may be suspicious of everyone because of his personal experience, he will never believe anyone, nor will he believe anything rashly.

Qualitatively, he is the most realistic person, and there is no such thing as fantasy in his worldview.

It is precisely because of this that he desperately seized power, he sat high on the royal chair, let one cabinet minister after another appear on the stage, holding the silver thread that controlled them in his hand, and let them attack each other and bite each other.

This is Jiajing, a man who uses other people's struggles to protect himself.

On the other hand, he is not a person with too much desire for power, he has not been in court for decades, and he can even not see military officials for several years, except for a few ministers and henchmen, he lives in the palace and cannot hide.

Xu Qian once analyzed Jiajing, this emperor's desire for power is actually not strong, just like those rich gentry who are greedy for money, always like to take out their savings in the dead of night, and calculate over and over again, if Jiajing is a person with a strong desire for power, it is impossible to live in the palace, his behavior should be closer to a so-called emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations, parade around, hunting, and meet with princes and ministers, an emperor who locks himself in the deep palace is like a brocade clothes walking at night, what else to talk about power?

But Jiajing's various actions and various means of seizing power, if you have to come up with a reason, Xu Qian is convinced, just because this person never trusts others, he is extremely suspicious, and even later came to the point of pathology, how can such a person be at ease with others? His methods came from the deepest fears in his heart.

One can imagine how many days and nights this man woke up from a nightmare, looking at the dimly lit dormitory, looking at the swaying shadows of the trees outside the window. The nightmare entangled him like a golden hoop, he breathed faster, he jumped to the ground quickly, pulled out his sword, a pair of frightened eyes looked around, his pupils were contracting, he saw a shadow swaying outside the window, he held his breath, and then followed. One by one, the eunuchs on duty came in without possession and confessed their capital crimes. He would have clenched his sword and roared, "Check, check now, strengthen the guards!" ”

There is a kind of person who takes power in order to show power, and there is a kind of person. Only when he clings to his rights can he have a sense of security, even if it is only a trace.

Jiajing didn't show much power in the first dynasty, but the number of times he used power techniques reached the peak of all dynasties, and he regarded himself as a chess player, sitting cross-legged in this deep palace, commanding chess pieces one by one. Only when these chess pieces are at his mercy as if they fulfill his wishes can he get a moment of peace.

But now...... It seemed that there was a little accident, and Jiajing began to trust someone for the first time, because he seemed to see the same self. This man has his own shadow, and at the same time, this man has been maintaining his majesty, which once or twice can also be understood as speculation. But there were too many times, and after all, Jiajing's heart gave birth to trust.

The more you trust. When you encounter a problem, you can't help but ask, what do you think?

And now, Xu Qian is worried about this, in essence, he is an opportunist, but the speculation is too successful, so that when something happens, he will say what to do, who is this, I am afraid that I can't bear it.

"Boss, I'm just a Hanlin, or just a Hanlin compilation, from the official of the sixth grade, to the official pile of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid that I can't even make a wave, and you are helpless, but you asked about me."

After a fierce slander in his heart, Xu Qian hesitated for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, since it is the court meeting of the day after tomorrow, then you must plan carefully and turn passive into active." ”

Words...... Typical empty words, empty can no longer be empty, and saying it is equivalent to not saying it.

Jiajing was obviously unwilling, and said, "Is there really no way?"

In fact, Xu Qian is very good at abducting or fanning the flames, Xu Qian has an idea, but after thinking about it, he shook his head again and said with a wry smile: "Hey...... It's not right, it's not ......."

Jiajing straightened his face and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Qian said: "Weichen has a way, but if this method is done, the students are only afraid of ...... I'm afraid that I will have to sacrifice a lot of things, and if my wife knows, I'm afraid that the lion will roar in Hedong. ”

Jiajing's eyes narrowed, and said, "Don't you have a broken ......" This is his unintentional words, I want to say that the habit of broken sleeves, since it is a habit of broken sleeves, you don't like women at all, what are you afraid of Hedong lion roar? But when he said this, he felt that something was very inappropriate, so he quickly stopped and was silent for a while before he said again: "Do you have a way?" You must know that loyalty and righteousness sometimes can't be both, and I don't force you to do so, you might as well do this, if you can come up with a way to think about it in the future, I ......" Jiajing smiled slightly, and said: "I naturally can't give you any reward, after all, you are an official of the imperial court, without the nod of the cabinet and officials, it is not easy to be promoted, but your father Xu Chang, I have a way, after all, he is pro-army, and it is more convenient to reward him." ”

Xu Qian said bitterly: "Can the minister think again?" ”

Jiajing straightened his face and said, "What do you want or not?" It's settled, and I'm not going to ask you what you can do, but the day after tomorrow, I'll want you to turn things around. He felt that Fang Cai's words were a bit excessive, and his tone softened, and then said: "This time the peace of the Japanese is very important to me, the Japanese are ravaging Fujian and Zhejiang, and you are also from Zhejiang, can you be indifferent to the suffering of the villagers?" ”

The last sentence stabbed Xu Qian's weakness, Xu Qian is by no means the kind of person who jumps out of Tianxiang to possess because of righteousness, but he has a bottom line after all, and said with a wry smile: "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Jiajing was overjoyed, in fact, he wanted to ask Xu Qian what his idea was, but when he saw that Xu Qian was difficult to speak, he dispelled this thought, temporarily restrained his curiosity, and saved Xu Qian from speaking out of his mind, only to find that there was really no lower limit, if he, the emperor, nodded happily and said that you can do it with confidence, I am morally afraid that there will be a loss.

Jiajing perked up and said, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are quite sure, just be sure, come, sit with me, and talk." ”

Xu Qian had already put away the record on the table, clamped it under his armpit, and said: "Your Majesty, if Weichen goes back too late, I am afraid that I will be suspicious, now is an eventful time, Weichen will have to plan how to deal with Master Mao for His Majesty later, I am afraid that I will have to leave first, and ask My Majesty to forgive me." ”

"Is that so?" Jiajing couldn't help but show a little regret, then laughed again, waved his hand and said: "Go, as soon as you are an official, you and I seem to be divided, but you can know my thoughts, and I also know your loyalty, this is enough, you can do it." ”

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

In the cabinet, Yang Tinghe entered his duty room full of concern, but Mao Ji took the opportunity to chase him in and said with a smile: "Yang Gong ......"

Yang Tinghe's eyes glanced at him, his face was as flat as water, he sat on his chair, and said slowly: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with Master Mao?" ”

There is neither excessive intimacy nor excessive indifference in rejecting people thousands of miles away, like a pool of stagnant water, pampered and humiliated, quiet and bland.

Mao Ji said with a smile: "His Majesty's attitude seems to be very resolute, I don't know what Yang Gong thinks?" ”

He is anxious to know Yang Tinghe's attitude now, Yang Tinghe has always seemed a little hesitant on the issue of peace, this is very different from Yang Tinghe in peacetime, and the previous Yang Bachelor can be described as vigorous and resolute, which is absolutely impossible.

It is precisely because of Yang Tinghe's attitude that Mao Ji's heart is a little bottomless, of course he knows that although he is the same cabinet minister as him, the status disparity is too great, and Yang Tinghe's words are even better than his ten hundred sentences. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to find out the details of Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe glanced at him with a smile and said, "What can the old man think?" It's going to rain and I'm going to get married, and His Majesty's mind is good, Pingwu...... It is indeed a major event for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

Mao Ji sneered: "I'm afraid that His Majesty may not be for the benefit of the country and the people, right?" ”

Yang Tinghe's face was very calm, and he said, "Then what do you think Your Majesty is for?"

Mao Ji was silent for a moment before he said: "It's nothing more than taking the opportunity to establish power, and Your Majesty is afraid that he wants to interfere with the court by means of Pingwei." Yang Gong must not ignore it, otherwise it will ......"

Yang Tinghe's face became gloomy, and he said, "You don't want to talk nonsense, is this kind of thing also something that a courtier can say?" ”

Mao Ji was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't recognize Yang Tinghe all of a sudden, and couldn't help but think in his heart, what's wrong with Yang Gong, why did he change his temperament?

He couldn't help but think that since Jiang Mian fell, Yang Tinghe had indeed been a little cold to himself, could it be that he even felt that he was an eyesore? Wrong...... Mao Ji hurriedly dispelled this idea, because he knew that it was impossible for the imperial court to let one person support the cabinet independently, the imperial court did not have this rule, and the palace would definitely not be so relieved, if Jiang Mian was defeated, there would be Zhang Mian, and he would be overthrown, and there would be Liu Ji, who had always been obedient to him, why did Yang Gong need to rectify himself?

Mao Ji's idea is indeed right, but he didn't expect that he is really overly enthusiastic these days, it stands to reason that he is now just a minister, not even a second assistant, this household secretary is still in Jiang Mian's body, and now he has not succeeded to the throne, he has already jumped up and down, claiming to be the head of the household department, and now he is strongly opposing Ping Wei is also to plan for this matter, maybe he himself does not feel that he is a little too enthusiastic, but his every move actually falls in the eyes of Yang Tinghe, in the face of a person who is so hot in the position of the second assistant, What would Yang Tinghe think?

Today he can plot a secondary, but what about tomorrow?
