Chapter 364: Jiajing's three-plate axe
Xu Qian's flickering effect is not bad, the husband and wife have no mustard, and they are happy.
For a few days, Xu Qian simply did not go to the cabinet to be on duty, anyway, he took sick leave, and he was dispensable in the cabinet, ostensibly waiting for the edict, but in fact it was nothing.
On the thirteenth day of September, a light rain began to fall in the sky, but someone from the palace invited him into the palace.
Xu Qian naturally didn't dare to hesitate, and entered the palace from the noon gate to meet him.
Jiajing's face was a little strange today, a little ashamed, mixed with a little anger, he squinted, and said slowly: "Xu Aiqing, your guess is really not wrong, Yang Tinghe finally made a concession and was willing to arrange a lecture in Hanlin in the Royal Academy, and this candidate for Hanlin is you." ”
This news did not surprise Xu Qian, this time it was quite a blow to Yang Tinghe, thinking that Yang Tinghe didn't have much interest in dealing with himself, since this was the case, then kick it away, out of sight.
But on the other hand, he happens to be quite popular now, and he is a Hanlin attendant, and his background is extraordinary, in order to show that he has the capacity to tolerate people, Yang Tinghe will not turn his face with Xu Qian, a little attendant.
The final result was that the Royal Academy just met Yang Tinghe's needs, so he simply sold a favor, and then took the opportunity to let Xu Qian get out.
Jiajing specially called Xu Qian to come, just with a little guilt, hoping to appease this hero, he naturally didn't know that Xu Qian had already rolled up his sleeves and was ready to go to the Royal Academy to do a big job.
In the cabinet waiting for the edict, Xu Qian can't make a decision on anything, he looks at others at every turn, the merit belongs to others, and if he makes a mistake, maybe someone will come to his door.
But the Royal Academy is different, although this yamen has just been prepared. Xu Qian went in to lecture as a Hanlin, but Xu Qian seized the initiative and could do whatever he wanted. Whether there is political performance or not is not based on how good the top is, but depends on how your own affairs are.
Xu Qian thought for a while and said, "Since the cabinet has already made arrangements, Weichen has no choice but to obey his fate. 陛xià. In fact, it's not a big deal, it's better to go to the Royal Academy than to Nanjing, Weichen is still in Beijing, that's enough. ”
Jiajing said coldly: "Yang Tinghe is not arbitrary once or twice, and I sometimes can't help him. It's just hard for you, but it's ...... Since he wants to fix you, then I called you here today to fix him according to your method, Xu Aiqing, let's wait to see his jokes together. I have sent him to be invited, and you sit aside. Don't speak, see what I do with him. ”
Xu Qian immediately guessed that Jiajing's so-called whole person must be a cabinet candidate, and Yang Yiqing didn't want to enter the cabinet now. At that time, he and Jiajing had discussed letting Wang Ao enter the cabinet, and the relationship between Wang Ao and Yang Tinghe was too complicated, and it was precisely because of the complexity that Yang Tinghe was surprised.
Xu Qian also knew. Jiajing finally couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to fight back. This time it was an active counterattack, and the meaning was very different, and the struggle between the monarchs and ministers officially moved from one side to the other. On the one hand, Jiajing has been supported by the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the legitimacy of his identity is beyond doubt, on the other hand, he has stabilized the pro-army and planted all his cronies into it, which ensures that there will be no situation where the dog jumps over the wall, and Yang Tinghe's advantage lies in the popularity and the support of the ministers, but Jiajing is not completely without a countermeasure.
Just like playing chess, since you have stabilized your position, then it is time to start taking eye medicine, this eye medicine is differentiation, so that Yang Tinghe can not be forced, to divide Yang Tinghe, it is useless to promote Yang Tinghe's opposition alone, because these people are not in the climate, and people can eradicate people with a wave of their hands.
Wang Ao is such a chess piece, and it is also a wonderful chess piece that Xu Qian came up with, this person's qualifications are beyond Yang Tinghe, and his reputation is not under Yang Tinghe, plus he had the grace to promote Yang Tinghe in the past, if Wang Ao did not protect Yang Tinghe in the most turbulent years of the Zhengde Dynasty, I am afraid that Yang Tinghe has already been killed, how can there be today?
A sneer appeared on the corner of Jiajing's mouth, and he sat on the royal chair with his lap in front of him, waiting for a while, when Huang Jin came in and said, "Your Majesty, Student Yang has arrived." ”
Jiajing said indifferently: "Please come in and speak." ”
After a while, Yang Tinghe Xiaobu came in and saluted, "Your Majesty xià......"
Jiajing smiled, he smiled very sincerely, at least it looked sincere, even when he looked at Yang Tinghe, his eyes were also a little gentle.
Xu Qian was on the side, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Life is like a play, and drama is like life, this sentence really makes sense." ”
Jiajing said: "Yang Aiqing, please sit down, I have already said it, don't be formal." ”
Yang Tinghe thanked him again, and then sat down sideways, he naturally glanced at Xu Qian from the corner of his eyes, and smiled at Xu Qian, not showing any resentment against Xu Qian.
Xu Qian naturally nodded to him and greeted the pavilion elder.
Yiqiē was very peaceful, and even a little too polite, Jiajing said a few words of greeting, and then said: "I heard that Yang Aiqing's old problem has been committed again?" Hey, Yang Aiqing should pay more attention to her body. ”
Yang Tinghe hurriedly said: "It's all an old disease, and the old minister has long been used to it." ”
Jiajing said very cautiously: "How can this kind of thing be taken for granted? I heard that since Jiang Mian Zhishi, Yang Aiqing has to ask about every detail, I think it is overwork, and the body is overwhelmed, I summoned you today, for the sake of the cabinet candidate, now this candidate has been delayed for so many days, can not be delayed any longer, before Yang Aiqing recommended Yang Yiqing, but there is a royal envoy who said that Yang Yiqing violated filial piety, this matter is still under thorough investigation, although I believe that Yang Yiqing is not such a crazy person, but on the cusp, if he is invited into the cabinet, I am afraid that it is not appropriate. ”
Yang Tinghe's face cooled a little, but he still asked patiently: "Could it be that His Majesty has already been selected?" ”
Jiajing shook his spirit and said: "There is a candidate, I have been thinking, this person must be in step with Yang Aiqing, it is best to be an old acquaintance, a person, naturally like Yang Aiqing, he is just and upright, and he must be able to afford to be a person." In the end, after thinking about it, I really thought of a person, and if I wanted to come to this person, Yang Aiqing would definitely agree. ”
Yang Tinghe's face was like autumn water, and he said lightly: "I don't know who this person is?" ”
Jiajing said with a smile: "This person is a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu, known as a clear name, during the Zhengde period, he worshipped the first assistant bachelor, and was in charge of the ministry, he is upright, and he has a lot of connections with Yang Aiqing......"
Speaking of which, even fools know who it is, there are only a few Shoufu of the Zhengde Dynasty, and there are even fewer who have mastered the Ministry of Officials, plus they are from Suzhou, except for Wang Ao, who else?
Yang Tinghe was stunned for a moment, he was stunned just to hide the horror in his heart.
He thought about a few candidates with Jiajing's character, but he never imagined that Jiajing thought of Wang Ao, you must know that Wang Ao is the most strong, and he never leaves any affection for others, when he presided over the ministry, he governed the officials the strictest, and treated Emperor Zhengde with a strict reputation, such a person, the Son of Heaven would like it?
Although Yang Tinghe may not have understood Jiajing, he still knows some of his general thoughts, and he can't help but think in his heart, with His Majesty's temperament, he will never choose Wang Ao, so who is this person who instigates His Majesty to choose Wang Ao?
Thinking of this, Yang Tinghe's eyes had already fallen on Xu Qian's body, at this time Xu Qian sat aside, no matter what Xu Qian's expression was now, Yang Tinghe believed that this must be Xu Qian's ghost.
With a vague smile on his face, Jiajing continued to Yang Tinghe: "It is estimated that Yang Aiqing also thought of it, this person is Wang Ao, why didn't Yang Aiqing speak?" Aiqing thinks, how is Young Master Wang? ”
Yang Tinghe couldn't help but be confused at this time, he could refuse anyone, but it was impossible to refuse Wang Ao, because he had no reason, Wang Ao was half of his mentor, and he used to take good care of him, and the care and promotion in the officialdom were all great favors in the eyes of the world, if he rejected Wang Ao at this time, what would others say? Once this matter spreads, he Yang Tinghe will definitely be criticized.
But Yang Tinghe also knows Wang Ao's temperament, Wang Ao is far above him in terms of qualifications and prestige, once he enters the cabinet, how should he face it?
Nominally, Yang Tinghe is the first assistant, and now he can dictate and dictate, and the other cabinet ministers are just his subordinates, but if Wang Ao enters the cabinet, the situation will be different, Wang Ao is a more serious character, what do you say, is it a true temperament, and even if you are the first assistant, can many things be decided directly without consulting him? If so, what will others say? said that you Yang Tinghe put on such a big shelf, Wang Ao promoted you like this back then, and now you are above Wang Ao, and there is no room for discussion in case of trouble?
But what about once it's discussed? Wang Ao is a very assertive person, when he encounters something, he will definitely put forward his own opinions, if the two have the same opinion, it will be easy to do, but the problem is, what if the two have different views? Do you listen to him, or do you listen to Wang Ao?
Listen to Wang Ao, so what's the point of his first assistant? Controlled by others, why do you talk about making a big career and becoming the name of this ancient name? can listen to himself, if Wang Ao argues on the basis of reason, what should he do? He can turn his face with anyone, can he turn his face with Wang Ao? More importantly, Wang Ao has been in charge of the Ministry for more than ten years, and his protégés are all over the world.
