Chapter 152: Zhejiang Inspection
"Let me tell me quickly." Emperor Jiajing finally felt energetic and laughed: "Huang Jin, give me osmanthus dew and pour a bowl of it for the elder of the Pavilion."
Huang Jin responded with a smile, and soon he used a dragon gold bowl and a simple silver bowl to give the emperor and the elder a bowl of clear-colored osmanthus dew. This drink is warm and delicious, but it is refreshing when you drink it. Emperor Jiajing has been weak since childhood and is very afraid of cold in his stomach, so he loved this osmanthus dew for ten minutes.
Yan Song is old and this thing is just right for his appetite, but now he has no time to taste it. Seeing that His Majesty has already put on a good position of story, he cleared his throat and began to tell it vividly, allowing the emperor to relive the thrilling journey with his eldest son and Shen Mo.
In order to make the emperor happy, Old Yan Song used the tricks of the sky bridge to perform his skills, and made the eldest son Yao's brave and clumsy words and both civil and military, and made the most of the emperor Jiajing's appetite so much that he drank two big bowls in a row.
Yan Song observed his expression and found that the emperor especially liked to listen to the silent deeds, so he became more and more ignorant and focused on the boy's deeds... What called himself "Zhejiang Tour" to intimidate the villagers; What was the oil splashing on the Japanese/pirates to protect the city; What was the lonely and brave enough to save the eldest son; What was the command of the village to stop the Japanese/pirates to destroy the ship? What was the plan to break the ship?
Emperor Jiajing finally smiled and patted his round belly and said, "Facts have proved that Japanese pirates are not invincible, and a young scholar can play them in his palm." As he said that, he summarized a truth: "It can be seen that whether the southeast can be pacified, the key is whether there is a problem of whether it is useful to people."
Yan Song deeply agreed: "Your Majesty is wise." He wanted to take advantage of the issue, but the emperor said very considerately: "I have sprayed so much spitting stars, and I have been dry for you. Drink it quickly, there is not enough."
Yan Song had no choice but to drink the sip of the imperial osmanthus dew with gratitude, and said angrily: "I don't let you drink when I want to drink, and I don't let you drink when I don't want to drink...'
While he was drinking there, the emperor turned the topic back to the Shaoxing victory itself, gently knocking his jade bowl and said, "Although this victory itself is not too great, it is of extraordinary significance. If the Japanese suppression in March is compared to a ball of darkness, that battle will be the only highlight!"
Although he had just taken a few sips, Yan Song quickly put down his bowl and said, "Your Majesty is wise and it is very necessary to vigorously promote this great victory."
"Especially that one?" Emperor Jiajing scratched his ear and said, "What's the name?"
"Silence." Yan Song replied respectfully, with a little Jiangxi accent in his official language.
"It's that little Sanyuan, what's his name?" Jiajing said impatience.
"Silence." Yan Song answered again.
"What's the name? You are so confused!" Jiajing said crazy.
Yan Song then suddenly realized and quickly apologized: "Your Majesty, calm down. That boy's name is Chen Mo, and his name is 'Chen Mo', not 'What'." He said shyly and said: "The local accent of me is too heavy, which makes Your Majesty misunderstand."
Jiajing then understood and couldn't help but laugh: "What's the silence? This kid's name is really interesting." He laughed so hard that tears came out.
Yan Song and Huang Jin quickly laughed.
After laughing for a while, Emperor Jiajing felt his whole body was clear and refreshed, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He wiped the tears of Longyan's eyes and said, "Why is it so difficult to fight against the Japanese? The spiritual roots of the Ming Dynasty, scholars did not play their due role. Only when scholars are angry can the momentum of my Ming Dynasty rise! So I am going to build this kid and set an example for scholars all over the world!"
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was a good deal. Emperor Jiajing smiled and said, "It is affectionate and righteous, brave and resourceful. It is also a small Sanyuan in Wenchang. It is a very good seedling!"
Yan Songxin said that this boy was cheap... With the emperor's words, this boy seemed to have gone to Qingyun Road directly to the Hanlin Academy... Of course, he didn't dare to make a promise, because there is a very prominent feature of the priest today, which is the capriciousness. Who knows if he still remembers this sentence then?
But at least now, Emperor Jiajing was in high spirits. He ordered Huang Jin to polish ink for the old master and draft an order to reward him.
Yan Song picked up his pen and said respectfully: "If you should give me any reward, I have to ask Your Majesty to show me."
Jiajing stood up with Huang Jin's arm and said, "How do you usually praise me?"
"According to common practice, it is nothing more than a literati who is granted civil servants, and military officials who are granted military officials, and their parents and teachers are promoted to the next level." For the Grand Secretary who once served as the Minister of Rites, these things came casually. Yan Song pondered slightly and put forward a little opinion: "I misunderstood the will of the saint, and I felt that Your Majesty seemed to be deliberately trying to praise the humble words, but he was only a scholar, not a general who led the army, and he did not achieve any great achievements in pacifying one side. It was a bit too much to be granted his title... But it is not appropriate to be granted an official position. With the ability of Xiao Sanyuan of Shaoxing, he could be admitted to a Hanlin official. He must still hope to take the right path and be down-to-earth official."
He said a big bang. Every sentence sounds constructive, but after careful consideration, it is a useful suggestion. If he has achieved results, Yan Song has made any suggestions. If he has a shortcoming, he will say, "The suggestion was not what I proposed." He will neither leave any talk nor run away. He can attack and retreat or defend. This is the peerless skill of the chief assistant of the dynasty.
Although Emperor Jiajing was extremely smart, he didn't hear any problems with this. He still nodded slightly and said, "It's true. Rewarding is not enough to reflect my intentions. He can't bear it even if he is rewarded. He has to think of a solution to both sides." As he said that, he set up a circle on the ground...
At this time, Yan Song would never interrupt. Every time the emperor wanted to make an idea, he would kick the ball back with the "Jian was in the heart of the emperor, and the universe was arbitrary." Only when he was forced to do so would he carefully put forward an idea that the emperor would most like to hear... Everyone said that he was not principled by Yan, but it was actually too unfair to him, because Yan, had at least one unswerving principle, that is, "Don't offend your wife at home, and you should not offend your leader at work, so you can ensure peace in the world!"
Emperor Jiajing walked around several times, but he didn't think of any reason. He actually asked the fat eunuch standing aside and said, "Huang Jin, what are you good ideas?"
"I am a fool, what good ideas can I have?" Huang Jinsheng looked happy, which made people not annoy him. He only smiled and said, "But I have a funny idea. Why don't you say it out and relieve your boredom by Master Long Sui and Master."
"Tell me." Emperor Jiajing said with great interest.
"Didn't that silence once claimed to be a Zhejiang tour?" Huang Jin smiled and said, "It would be better for Your Majesty to really give him a 'Emperor Zhejiang tour'. It sounds quite noble, but in fact it is of no quality, so naturally it will not delay him from taking the imperial examination."
When Jiajing heard this, he was quite excited and said, "What do you think?"
"Eunuch Huang's idea is refreshing," Yan Song laughed: "But the word "tour" is not solemn, so it's better to change it to something else." If you don't say a sentence that is useful, how can you show your level? Besides, the emperor will not want the prime minister who doesn't make a fart. So when someone makes a suggestion, he will give his opinions seriously. Compared to giving suggestions, this is safer.
"What's the name?" Emperor Jiajing scraped his stomach and slapped his hands, "If you have it, you'll be called Qin to order the Zhejiang Anti-Japanese War and An Min Jinghai Inspection Envoy... It's called Zhejiang Inspection. What do you think?"
When he heard that this official name had already left the category of "tournament" just now, Yan Song immediately cheered up and said, "Your Majesty, Zhejiang has the most important task of anti-Japanese war. The Governor-General and the General of the Army each performs their duties, busy and orderly. It is really not appropriate to add officials to the office... And it is said that the silence is not yet weak and he is unafraid of being able to take on important positions."
"What position is important?" Emperor Jiajing laughed and said, "I have not reached that point yet. The so-called Zhejiang inspection is to let him walk around the battlefield of the anti-Japanese war, tell me what he saw, heard and wanted, that's all."
When Yan Song heard that according to the emperor's wishes, this Zhejiang inspector could not even be considered an official, but could only be said to be a temporary position of "ordered to be sent". He was relieved.
Moreover, this is just a temporary appointment, a levelless observer, and the emperor can be ordered by the emperor, and even the Ministry of Personnel does not need to be notified.
Therefore, when Yan Song drafted the order and the emperor used the seal, he ordered the Zhejiang inspector to fight against Japanese devils and Anmin Jinghai to remain silent and muscular, and the words were freshly released.
After finishing the most troublesome thing, the other rewards were much simpler. Emperor Jiajing asked Yan Song to draw it out, and it was accurate at a glance.
After finishing this matter, Emperor Jiajing was in a good mood and finally expressed his true purpose of calling him late at night: "Tao Zhenren said that the leader of the Japanese/pirates was formed by the evil dragon in the East China Sea, so he caused trouble and was wiped out repeatedly. Therefore, if you want to completely quell the Japanese turmoil, you must first worship the Dragon King of the East China Sea and ask him to send troops to eliminate the evil dragon. I agree..." As he said that, he smiled faintly and said, "You recommend a personal choice for me."
Yan Song thought for a while and said calmly: "The old minister thought that Zhao Wenhua, the Tongzheng Secretary and the Right Minister of Works, was loyal and skillful, and had a good temperament, and could take on this important task for Your Majesty."
"Zhao Wenhua?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Old Yan Song's face and said, "You really don't avoid being a relative."
Yan Song smiled frankly and said, "What you need to sacrifice to His Majesty is loyalty, sincerity, care and piety, rather than talent, so the old minister feels that Zhao Wenhua is under the heavy responsibility."
Jiajing thought it was the same, so why didn’t he go to sacrifice to the sea? Who wouldn’t he use it? Then he nodded and said, “It’s up to you.”
Both big names felt that what they decided tonight was not a big deal, so they didn't take it seriously.
