Chapter 389: Confrontation
Jiajing played with an inkstone in his hand, and listened to Mao Ji's statement with a little impatience.
What is going on, he doesn't care at all, what he cares about is what the officials think? Will they make trouble, and what means should they use in the end.
Xu Qian is certainly angry that this guy made such a fuss, but Jiajing is a person who is very good at settling accounts, and people who settle accounts generally have a bottom in their hearts before settling accounts, at least they know what accounts are their own and what accounts are someone else's.
Needless to say, Xu Qian is his Jiajing's person, the iron of the irons, so this account, Jiajing only counts others in his heart, not his own head.
But the problem is that if such a big event happens, the emperor wants not to show a little, and he is too partial, and he will definitely make a big incident.
Jiajing took a deep breath, and saw that it was Yang Tinghe and Wang Ao coming, and hurriedly interrupted Mao Ji's complaints, and said: "Two Aiqing, please sit down and talk, I won't say much about things, now the crowd is surging, and if it continues, it won't make people laugh, besides, now it's coming to the end of the year, and the envoys of various countries are arriving one after another, I don't want to have an accident, and I don't want to make any trouble, what do you say?" ”
He didn't say how to look at it, but how to say it, the difference between one word and the meaning is thousands of miles, how to look at it is to ask for opinions, how to say that Jiajing has set the tone, this matter must be suppressed, but how to press, it depends on what you say.
Wang Ao's ass sat down and said, "The first thing is that Your Majesty will give an order to rescue Wang Kang from the Royal Academy first, and as for the other people involved, it is enough to give appropriate punishments." ”
Wang Ao's words won Jiajing's thoughts, and Jiajing couldn't help but nod and said, "This is a good way." ”
Mao Ji sneered: "Can this calm down the discussion?" Punishment? How to deal with it? Is it a petition or dismissal? The words must always be clear, people in the school, whether they can be saved now is secondary, I think that Lord Wang's life should be worry-free, the key to the problem is how to convince the public. How can you convince people, you can't just say that he will take people and take people, and he can do whatever he wants, right? Majesty, Weichen means to investigate thoroughly, only by getting to the bottom of the water can the current controversy be calmed, if it is just a mud, just want to suppress the matter, the more so, the easier it is to cause a backlash. ”
Seeing that there was a fierce conflict between Wang Ao and Mao Ji, Jiajing had to look at Yang Tinghe. He glanced at him with complicated eyes and said, "What is Mr. Yang's opinion?" ”
Yang Tinghe knew that Wang Ao's understatement and Mao Ji's aggressiveness were two extremes, and these two people made a big fuss, so that the Son of Heaven did not dare to adopt the opinions of the two of them. This is a big deal, and the cabinet cannot take a unanimous approach, and when the time comes, someone will make things worse behind the scenes, and things will only be more troublesome.
Now Jiajing has found himself, with a little pitiful begging, which is very unusual, at least a little Yang Tinghe can be sure. The reason why the Son of Heaven is like this is because the Son of Heaven cares about that Xu Qian, and the so-called concern is chaotic, and this is the truth.
So how do you answer that? Neither can be as extreme as Mao Ji. Naturally, it can't be as light as Wang Ao, Yang Tinghe turned his mind slightly, and said lightly: "Actually, this matter is easy to do, and it is ugly." Then shut the door and make it clear, I heard that there are still cases in the Xu family's father and son, right? Then let's solve it together. His Majesty can immediately convene officials above the fifth rank to the Chongdian to hold a court meeting, and then summon Xu Qian into the palace to rescue Wang Kang, while everyone is there, just explain the original matter, if there is any misunderstanding can be clarified, if there is really any sin, then it cannot be tolerated, so that people can be convinced, what does Your Majesty think? ”
Yang Tinghe's construction looks pertinent, but there is a problem, that is, to convene a hundred officials, you must know that hundreds of officials are also people, now Wang Kang has been arrested and sent to the Royal Academy, for a court official, how to toss as much as he wants, this is the death of a rabbit and a fox, in this case, it can be said that the entire official class in a sense has complaints about Xu Qian's not very kind things this time.
This is equivalent to inviting someone Xu to play football, there are eleven people in Mao Ji's team, Xu Qian is alone, single-handedly, and the audience is all Mao Ji's cheerleading team, Xu Qian has not yet played, I am afraid that he will be killed by countless eggs.
Yang Tinghe looked at Jiajing with a smile, and then said, "The situation is urgent, Your Majesty should make a decision as soon as possible." ”
This sentence is suspected of forcing Jiajing to agree immediately.
Jiajing frowned, first a little bit did not admit defeat, his eyes looked at Wang Ao, and seeing that Wang Ao did not come out to object, he couldn't help but sigh, and said: "Then according to Mr. Yang, make a decree to summon Xu Qian into the palace, yes, even that Wang Kang will be edicted into the palace, and at noon today, a court meeting will be held in Chongdian." ”
Jiajing reluctantly issued an edict, which made Mao Ji breathe a sigh of relief, no matter what, although things did not meet his expectations, but he has firmly occupied the odds, it doesn't matter, the most important thing at the moment is to take advantage of this free time to immediately lay out the situation, as long as Xu Qian's charges are confirmed one by one during the court discussion, he is the Son of Heaven, can he still risk the world's disapproval to shield Xu Qian?
"Your Majesty."
The three of them withdrew from the Chongdian, and Mao Ji was about to go to the ministry to arrange, so he greeted Yang Tinghe and said, "Yang Gong, I still have to go to the palace......"
Wang Ao on the side said with a smile: "Master Mao, the old man happens to have a book about your household here, and I want to ask you to refer to one or two details, this is related to the disaster situation in Lingnan. ”
Mao Ji frowned, and was about to refuse, only to hear Wang Ao say again: "Disaster relief is like fighting a fire, if there is really a mistake, it is a big deal, what can be more important than this?" ”
Mao Ji had to glance at Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe nodded at him casually, and Mao Ji had to say, "Then it's okay to take a look." ”
said that Jiajing was in a bad mood, Huang Jin was more cautious when he encountered this situation, poured tea for Jiajing and obediently stepped aside.
Jiajing's eyes flashed, and he said, "Huang Banban, if you are me, how will this matter be handled?" ”
Huang Jin was stunned, and then laughed and said, "How dare the slave be Your Majesty?" His Majesty said seriously, Mao Ji and Xu Qian have long been on discord, this time Xu Qian gave him a chance, and he still didn't bite to death? Now Bachelor Yang has proposed a court discussion, according to the slave maid, this is ostensibly a court discussion, but in fact it is a royal trial, in fact, it is just Mao Ji and Xu Qian-for-tat, I am afraid that there will be a situation where the wall will fall down and everyone will push it. ”
Jiajing said lightly: "I still believe in Xu Qian, he is not a foolish person, he is by no means a figure who is taken lightly, I am puzzled by Wang Aiqing, why didn't he take the opportunity to refute Yang Tinghe?" Could it be ...... Wang Ao and Yang Tinghe are also in the same group? ”
Huang Jin thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, Dongchang's side has been paying attention to Bachelor Wang recently, and Bachelor Wang has indeed gotten close to some ministers recently, but most of these people have nothing to do with Yang Tinghe, and His Majesty has a lot of worries. ”
Jiajing was a little irritable, flicked his sleeves, and said, "It's all in vain, I want to bathe and change clothes and prepare for the court meeting." ”
Huang Jin couldn't help but say, "Did Your Majesty have lunch first?" ”
Jiajing shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, I'm not in the mood." ”
After bathing and changing clothes, the time is close to noon, the officials have already received the news, have gathered outside the noon gate, for the recent events, a few people are indignant, but most people are indifferent, the rabbit dies and the fox is sad They have, but in the officialdom it is not you to die or I am to kill you, who has the leisure to worry about others?
However, Mao Ji is now going to die to rectify Xu Qian, behind Mao Ji is Yang Tinghe, and Wang Ao's attitude is ambiguous, which makes most officials look forward to it, after all, everyone wants to have a chance to show their faces, since this time Xu Qian is a hundred deaths, then you might as well borrow Xu Shi's head to add a little brilliance to yourself.
In this circle, there are precedents for people to take tea and cool down and the wall to be pushed by others, even teachers and students can face and heart disagreement, and even father and son can turn against each other, so this kind of fact is too common, and there is no psychological burden.
Noon has passed, but the palace door has not yet opened, which can't help but make everyone very anxious, at this moment, but someone rode over, this person turned over and dismounted, the sharp-eyed person recognized him, not Xu Qian, who is it? Xu Qian smiled, walked to the palace gate, and greeted some acquaintances.
People call the door, and it is not good not to respond after all, so naturally some people say hello without being salty.
Xu Qian listened to the holy decree and immediately came, the court meeting at noon, after all, this was an unexpected situation, at the moment the Ming Dynasty is still a country and the people, the only emergency is his royal school, he is also calm, his face is not anxious, and his behavior is no different from usual.
At this time, the gate of the noon gate finally opened, the ministers finally sighed, and they all cheered up and entered, Xu Qian was sandwiched in the crowd, and went to the Chongdian with everyone, in the Chongdian, the first to come were the bachelors and Hanlin who were on an errand in the palace, Jiajing had not yet appeared, Mao Ji stood in the hall, his eyes were on the military officials, and finally his eyes were fixed on Xu Qian in the crowd, he smiled at Xu Qian, with a little ill will in his smile.
Xu Qian felt his gaze and smiled at him, this smile was just a dragonfly in the water, and he couldn't see his mood.
The actions of the two of them actually fell in the eyes of these ministers who seemed to be nothing, but were actually nervous, and the corner of their eyes was not only aimed at Mao Ji, but also wanted to search for Xu Qian immediately, and they had to guess what Xu Qian meant by this smile, could it be that he thought he would win, or was he really crazy? Mr. Mao's smile is ill-intentioned, it seems that this time he really doesn't plan to keep this Xu waiter.
