Chapter 320: Duel
Li Shi took a good time to get out of the cabinet with Xu Qian, and his behavior was very puzzling, because when Xu Qian gave an example of Li Shi having free time, he just wanted to refute Mao Ji, who knew that Mao Ji really invited Li Shi to interrogate, and thought that with Li Shi's character, he would definitely give in to Mao Ji, but who knew that this Li Shiyu actually beat a rake and pitted Mao Ji.
Who is Li Shi, and how could Xu Qian not see his character? This person can't afford to be profitable, he has never been principled, the wind blows on both sides, Xu Qian is just a new Hanlin, what purpose did he have for himself, he actually offended Mao Ji for himself?
From beginning to end, Xu Qian felt that Li Shi had two suspicious points, one was what he said behind closed doors, and the other was to rebel against Mao Ji today.
What is the purpose of this person?
Xu Qian glanced at Li Shi, and while walking with Li Shi to the waiting room, he said to Li Shi tentatively: "Lord Li......"
Halfway through his words, Li Shi smiled slightly and said, "You want to ask the old man why he wants to help you, right?" Mao Ji will repay this person, today's old man offended him, I am afraid that this future will be bleak in the future, right? ”
Xu Qian nodded.
Li Shi laughed and said solemnly: "You misread the old man, do you really think that the old man can not even be ashamed for the sake of the future?" Ha...... The old man reads the book of the sage, the sage's teachings, the old man does not dare to forget, if it is because he said the truth and caused this unwarranted disaster, which caused Mao Ji to be jealous, then ...... You might as well let the horse come, the old man is not afraid! ”
The righteous and awe-inspiring words made Li Shi's body seem to be plated with a layer of gold, and the whole person became sacred.
Xu Qian couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, could it be that I misjudged him? This Master Li is actually a good person?
Xu Qian used the word actually when he pondered in his heart, obviously because he was not very sure, if the people who were officials were like Li Shi. I'm afraid that he will die a long time ago and have no place to be buried, this guy can still mix up to now, it seems that he has mixed quite well, it can be seen that there must be a lot of black belly, a person like this has set up such a big archway, if Xu Qian really believes, then it is hell.
But if not, why?
Xu Qian couldn't think of it anyway, since he couldn't figure it out. Then I can only not think about it, for him, tomorrow's court meeting is a big deal, as for whether this Li Shi is good or bad, whether he is a rare 'upright' person in the Ming Dynasty or a bastard. It doesn't seem to have much to do with him.
He flattered Li Shi with a few words, nothing more than saying: "What the lord has done is really admired by the officials." ”
Li Shi was naturally satisfied, and the two returned to the waiting room and went their separate ways.
It's just that Li Shi did this, which really made Mao Ji angry, he originally wanted to buy an insurance and simply strip Xu Qian of his right to speak in the court meeting. But where did he think that he was pitted by Li Shi halfway. Thinking that Li Shi lowered his eyebrows and looked at him on weekdays, and he couldn't make a fart for a long time, Mao Ji felt both hateful and indignant, this person ......... How can it be so bad! Most importantly. This person used to be so flattering to himself, why did he change his face today?
He couldn't figure it out either, but he was different from Xu Qian, Xu Qian wouldn't think about it if he couldn't figure it out. But Mao Ji couldn't figure it out, so he was going to do it.
If you want to do it, you have to go through the guò ministry. The idea of transferring Li Shi to Nanjing, and after all, Yang Tinghe could not be bypassed through the ministry, he saw that Yang Tinghe was silent, and sneered and said: "Yang Gong, I didn't expect that even Li Shi was bought." ”
The word "bribery" was very heavy, obviously hoping to attract Yang Tinghe's attention.
Yang Tinghe thought thoughtfully, shook his head and said: "This Li Shi, the old man knows him, he is by no means an upright person, the old man remembers, he used to take the second and thirteenth exams, it stands to reason, he can't enter the Hanlin, he should be sent to the ministries to watch the government, but this person is an excuse to say that he has read the "Theory of Sexual Goodness", and he went to visit Wang Ao, the secretary of the Ministry at that time, and Wang Ao made a relationship, so he was arranged into the Hanlin Academy. ”
"The Theory of Sexual Goodness" is Wang Ao's masterpiece, and Wang Yangming also highly admires it, and Xinxue has absorbed a lot of some theories in Wang Ao's theory in a sense. This Wang Ao can also be regarded as a figure in the founding of the sect in academics.
Yang Tinghe said this, it can be seen that he has a very bad impression of Li Shi, this person can do whatever it takes for his career, when Wang Ao was in power, he vigorously advocated the "Theory of Sexual Goodness", and when Wang Ao was a scholar, he suddenly turned to science, others used silver money to bribe to buy promotions, and this person is to do what he likes, in fact, there is no difference from bribery.
Yang Tinghe has always been very cold to this person, after he presided over the ministry, he was indifferent to the olive branch thrown by Li Shi, if it weren't for this person's deep qualifications, I am afraid that he would have kicked him away long ago. But now, this person actually dares to offend Mao Ji, which is a bit incomprehensible.
In the end, Yang Tinghe sighed and said, "This person is not a good person, you must be careful to watch out for him, maybe this person has any plans." Be careful. ”
Yang Tinghe's words did not mean to clean up Li Shi, but it was obvious that compared to Xu Qian, Yang Tinghe was more jealous of Li Shi, but Yang Tinghe still had a trace of curiosity after all, wanting to know what kind of reputation this Li Shi was doing, and it was this thought that made him temporarily put away his killing thoughts, and take a look.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Early the next morning, Jiajing had already gotten up at the third watch, he had been restless recently, since Jiang Mian was finished, what the palace is doing now is nothing more than when to approve Jiang Mian Zhishi, Jiajing's suspicions have become increasingly intensified, and the dignified scholar will be finished after speaking, and he also feels the crisis.
The more this is the case, the more Jiajing hopes to take power.
How to seize power? He must have a name, and this name is Pingwei, and only when he personally presides over Pingwei can he take the opportunity to get involved in the government and preside over the overall situation. Of course, it is impossible to bypass the involvement of the officials, but in a sense, he has more or less room to speak, and it is no longer the Son of Heaven who says a word, and the ministers who refute it, this thing can't be done, and that thing can't either.
If you can't take this step, the so-called Son of Heaven will be empty talk.
Moreover, the huge prestige brought by Pingwei is also what Jiajing has always wanted, he has never been a good person, all his thoughts are mixed with his selfish character, but in a way, his selfishness this time can be regarded as a move to benefit the country and the people.
Unfortunately...... The obstacle is still not small, at least in recent days, many ministers have clearly opposed this move to work the people and waste money, many people's meaning is very clear, the trouble is a trivial matter, there is no need to make a big show, as for the purge of the guards in the south of the Yangtze River, it is obvious that it is also a knife to kill chickens.
Of course, there are also people who come up with the imperial court expenses to advise, and most people believe that the current income and expenditure of the national treasury are already tight, and if they are flattened, they are afraid that they will be in deficit.
In the face of so many doubts, the only thing Jiajing can do is to push it forward, he has no way out, once he retreats, everything will be manipulated in the future.
This is also the reason why Jiajing threw out the matter of peace and security at this court meeting today, and he hoped to get the support of a considerable number of ministers in the court meeting, and only in this way could this matter have a chance to succeed.
Jiajing got up very early, and then he couldn't sleep, so he simply moved to the warm pavilion and read the book absentmindedly, but this book was really not too interesting to read, and it made him uneasy, fortunately, at this time, Huang Jin heard that His Majesty got up in the middle of the night, and quickly changed his clothes and hurried to serve.
"Huang Banban, now the imperial court is very suspicious of my policy of pacifying the Japanese, and Yang Tinghe's attitude is noncommittal, and the scholar Mao Ji simply opposes it in person, I think they have already expected that I will definitely throw it out for the ministers to discuss today, and Mao Ji will definitely have countermeasures, I am worried now, worried that I will lose face today......"
Huang Jin said cautiously: "Your Majesty didn't order Xu to find a way, Xu will definitely live up to the grace." ”
Jiajing sighed and shook his head, and said: "You don't know this, Xu Qian is just a compilation after all, and he is not a cabinet bachelor, even if he can do his best, but after all, there is still an end of manpower, although I put the bet on him, but when I really can't do anything, I can't do anything about it, I think he is also having a headache about this matter now." ”
Jiajing seemed a little unconfident today, he knew his opponents too well, these people were all professionals, quoting scriptures, they were all in one set, Xu Qian ...... It's still too tender after all.
Huang Jin was silent, he didn't dare to pack the ticket, so he had to say: "Your Majesty relax, how can there be a hurdle in this world, now that the victory is not scored, His Majesty is worried first, why bother?" Your Majesty, it's still early, let's take a rest first, as for other things, no matter how bad they are, they won't be bad. ”
Jiajing waved his hand, and suddenly became stern: "In any case, if Xu Qian can really promote this matter, I will definitely reward him, and if the policy of pacifying the widow can really be implemented, it is too important for me." ”
He sighed again, took a nap against the imperial case, and when he regained some energy, he saw that the sky was already bright, so he shook his spirits and ordered someone to ask, "What time is it?" ”
"Your Majesty, it's almost time."
Jiajing's eyes were gloomy, and he muttered, "When the time comes...... It's almost time. ”
