Chapter 400: Birthday Celebration
led twenty captains into the palace, Xu Qian can be described as bullish and coaxing.
Of course, he also knew that in this era of heavy and light martial arts, this was really regarded as a brain-dead move.
Brain-dead is brain-dead, Picasso is brain-dead, Copernicus is also brain-dead, Xu Qian doesn't care, besides, he will never be so tragic, as long as he lives well, what do you care about others so much?
When they arrived at the noon gate, Xu Qian entered the palace by himself, and Lu Bing and the others did not let them unload their weapons, but directly arranged to wait in the side hall first.
Jiajing held a court meeting in the Chongdian, and hundreds of officials could not enter the harem, so they could only celebrate the birthday of Empress Dowager Zhang here.
I'm afraid that at this time, the most crying and laughing is Yang Tinghe, who thought that he could bring the Empress Dowager Zhang as an ally, and he should be together inside and outside, who knew that the Empress Dowager Zhang was becoming more and more cold to him, and Jiajing was very attentive to the Empress Dowager Zhang, which really made people feel uncomfortable.
There is no internal response in the harem, and Wang Ao is hindered in the cabinet, and the current Yang Tinghe is really a little tragic.
Jiajing seemed to be particularly energetic today, called the hundred officials to be even, and accepted the love of the hundred officials on behalf of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and then coughed, and said: "I am very happy recently, the palace is the birthday of the queen mother, and the court has recently improved the rule of officials. Now the country and the people are safe, and it has shown signs of prosperity, which all depends on the blessing of the ancestors, and the secretaries are desperate. Although today is the birthday of the Queen Mother, but the court discussion cannot be abolished, do you have anything to do? β
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." The one who stood up was the imperial envoy of Fujian Kedao.
He frowned and said: "Wechen heard that in Fujian and Zhejiang, the official army has won many victories. The Japanese were frightened, but a few days ago, the governor of Zhejiang sent someone to urge grain from the DPRK, saying that he would condemn the Japanese invaders. If you don't have to pay 150,000 yuan for food and pay the three armies, you can decide with one drum. Weichen privately thinks that he is at the end of the road even if he is a widow. Why do you need a large-scale salary increase, isn't there something wrong with the south of the Yangtze River? β
This imperial envoy's name is Jiang Biao, and he is Yang Tinghe's protΓ©gΓ©.
Jiajing also said that there was a sign of ZTE before, but this Jiang Biao was so blindless, and directly suspected that there was something wrong with the good news in Jiangnan, which was tantamount to slapping Jiajing in the face naked.
Jiajing's face was really a little unbearable, he glanced at Wang Ao, then at Yang Tinghe, and then sneered: "The soldiers are hard. It's also understandable to treat it to yourself. And although the good news continues. However, the recital of the governor of Zhejiang said that the Japanese retreated to piracy and used it as a springboard. Stubbornly resisting, the officers and troops want to break the enemy. But it still takes half a year's work, which is a forgivable thing, although the official is a rumor, but it is all based on assumptions that he will make a lot of nonsense, and he needs to be cautious. β
Jiang Biao didn't have anything to say, and said that Weichen would die, and then stepped aside.
Yang Tinghe took the opportunity to say: "Since the Japanese are wiped out with a snap of their fingers, then the Governor of Jiangnan will be set up in His Majesty's plan to level the Japanese, and will the matter of the Governor of the Governor continue to be carried out?" β
This is another difficult problem, now the situation in Jiangnan is good, so the idea of setting up the Governor's Mansion and the Governor of the Governor is obviously a bit of a chicken rib, this Governor of Jiangnan, is it set up, or not? If it is established, it seems that it is a knife to kill chickens, but if it is not set up, for Jiajing, this is the first time that he has personally drawn up a big policy, and it has been announced to the world, which seems to be a bit face-saving.
Of course, if everyone thought that this incident had not happened, Jiajing would obviously not have much interest in this Jiangnan governor, and finally disappear, as long as there was a big victory.
But the problem is that Yang Tinghe doesn't open which pot to mention, if Jiajing shakes his head and says no, it seems inappropriate.
Jiajing had to smile and said: "There is a steady stream of Japanese robbers, although there is a deterrent from officials and soldiers, but they rely on the island, and it is difficult to exterminate them for a while. β
Although the governor has long existed, it is not permanent, and it is generally delegated to the local temporary governor as a scholar, and after the matter is resolved, he is recalled to the capital. The duty of the governor of Jiangnan is heavy, but it is not a joke, the question is, who should be sent?
Since you want to send someone, then first of all, the level must not be low, this person must be a scholar, bachelor-level person, the general everything is the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, etc., obviously not enough qualifications, of course, the squire in the ministry is added to the scholar, and the post of governor is not impossible.
But at the moment, there are only so many people in the court at this level, who can be counted with their fingers, who should be sent?
Those Shangshu in Nanjing, don't think about it, these are failures, and putting them forward will definitely attract opposition, and these An'an of Jingshi are very comfortable staying in Jingshi, who wants to go to Jiangnan? It is said that the Japanese are going to perish today, and God knows when they will be destroyed, if the Japanese are always resurrected in the same place with full blood, you will have to spend the rest of your life on it.
Everyone was silent, especially those who were enough to reach the level, all shrugging their heads and turning a deaf ear.
Yang Tinghe smiled slightly and said, "Lao Chen has a candidate. β
Jiajing suddenly cheered up and said, "Aiqing doesn't hurt to say. β
Yang Tinghe said: "When Hanlin is studying for a bachelor, he can take on a big responsibility. β
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, Li Shi, this guy? A few days ago, it was rumored that he had a chance to enter the cabinet, after all, he was a bachelor, and his grade was not high, but the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy came out at the level of Shangshu and Shilang, and if he was lucky, he could directly enter the cabinet and be a governor, and his qualifications were more than enough, and more importantly, everyone didn't want to go, and finally put forward a personal candidate, if you objected, others would definitely say, then you went, isn't it unlucky?
However, Li Shi and Wang Aoju were stunned for a while, Mao Ji fell, Li Shi had a good chance to win the cabinet, Li Shi lacked nothing, now he has connections and enough qualifications, His Majesty obviously doesn't dislike him too much, and now he is going to Jiangnan to be the governor, which is obviously Yang Tinghe's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain.
Wang Ao was about to object, but he listened to Yang Tinghe and said: "Your Majesty, it is most appropriate for Li Bachelor to control the provinces and ministries on behalf of the imperial court, he has served in Hanlin for 20 years, full of economy, and at the same time, he can also educate the people, Weichen always thinks that the Japanese want to be peaceful, but this education cannot be wasted, and now the manpower of the various ministries is insufficient......"
Jiajing is a bit difficult to ride a tiger when he comes, and he usually doesn't have a deep impression of Li Shi, he has already seen that many people are unwilling to go, and finally came to a personal candidate, but he doesn't care, as for Li Shi's ability, Jiajing doesn't have any hope, what is the use of a nerd who has been in Hanlin for 20 years? However, now that Jiangnan has won many victories, victory is in sight, and now it is just a matter of taking shape, Jiajing responded: "Since this is the case, this matter is so decided, the cabinet quickly drafted the decree, and submitted it to the palace, and appointed Li Aiqing as the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department and the governor of Jiangnan, and he can go to the post to control Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian." β
Li Shi's mood at this time is afraid that he wants to die, and he has the hope of winning the cabinet several times, but the result is not smooth every time, and now he has added the governor of Jiangnan, I don't know when he will be able to come back, and there is no precedent for the governor to enter the cabinet in this Ming Dynasty, could it be that he has no chance with the cabinet ministers in this life?
At this moment, he couldn't say a word, so he had to hold back the unwillingness in his heart and said: "Weichen must be fortunate not to be dishonored and go all out." β
Jiajing was already impatient, and said: "On Empress Dowager Zhang's birthday, I have set up a banquet in Cining Palace to entertain the prince, so let's disperse. β
Jiajing dispersed the dynasty, in fact, not many officials from foreign dynasties were invited, that is, a few old ministers who had gone through several dynasties, such as Wang Ao, such as Yang Tinghe and the like, this is a national treasure-level figure.
However, there are a lot of princes and nobles, Xu Chang and his son are also among them, and they followed Jiajing Hao to Cining Palace, Cining Palace has strengthened vigilance, and almost all the eunuchs seem to have flocked here, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, on the one hand, it is for safety considerations, on the other hand, it is also for fear that the princes and ministers will lose their honor.
Cining Palace has been separated, the men are in Baoxiang Pavilion, the queen mother of the two palaces and a noble lady are naturally near the Empress Dowager Zhang's bedroom, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.
The wine and food have come up, Jiajing sits alone in a case, and the male guests are all on both sides of the two people and one case and kneels on the ground, Xu Qian and Xu Chang sit together, Xu Chang whispered: "I will be busy later, now hurry up and fill my stomach, eat more, and I won't have to eat if I want to eat later." β
Xu Qian nodded, first used some dried fruits, didn't eat wine, tasted them casually, and ate some vegetables to fill his stomach.
In fact, the wine banquet in this palace is the most boring, the emperor sat there, no one dared to laugh, one by one cautiously, Jiajing ate three glasses of wine, then stood up, and said: "I want to go to see the queen mother, Zhuqing use it slowly." Then he added: "Xu Aiqing and Yang Aiqing will go with me." β
Everyone immediately understood that the show was about to appear, this so-called Yang Aiqing naturally did not mean Yang Tinghe, but Yang Yiqing, Xu Aiqing is Xu Qian, there was discussion in the market before, and now it seems that it is true.
Xu Qian and Yang Yiqing stood up together and glanced at each other, Yang Yiqing saw Xu Qian, who was not afraid of tigers with newborn calves, and Xu Qian also saw Yang Yiqing, who was old and strong, all showed a strange smile, and then followed Jiajing and walked towards the dormitory.

I can't bear it, I stay up all night in a row, pondering the plot, plus the recent change of weather, the cold is better, but the nose keeps running, like a slug, it may be a cold, two more today, the tiger ponders the plot, sharpens the knife and does not cut wood, and there are two shifts in three days a month, I hope you understand.
