Chapter 324: If you come out and get it back sooner or later!
Li Shangshu wanted to seize power, so Yan Ge Lao would not sit still and wait for death. With a wave of Yan Shifan's banner, he set up many eyes at the office of the Ministry of Personnel to Li Mo's private residence, and spyed on his daily life day and night, and knew his every move. He had known for his long time that on the first day of this year's discussion, he would attack Zhao Wenhua and launch a full-scale offensive on his side.
The Yan family father and son knew very well that all the civil and military officials in the court were waiting to see Zhao Wenhua’s fate. He is now like the Yan Party’s banner. If he is cut down, the Yan Party’s hearts will disperse and it will be difficult to resist the opponent’s offensive. Therefore, he must grit his teeth and resist this time to protect Zhao Wenhua, who is not good at doing so.
This is simply an impossible task to be completed with others. Don’t forget that Zhu Wan, Zhang Jing, and Li Tianchong were all brought down by the same crime, that is, “deceiving the king and not following the superiors”. It can be seen that the stubborn and self-righteous Emperor Jiajing hates this most.
But Li Mo's methods of harming people were not as good as those of the Yan family's father and son... He was too impatient... If he didn't involve Zhao Wenhua for now and just exposed the scattered Japanese disaster in the southeast, the extremely smart Emperor Jiajing would naturally think of the big joke of "Successful water and land, clear seas and clear rivers". You should know that the emperor believed it at that time, and went to the Taimiao to pray to his ancestors in person, and burned the memorial to his ancestors.
In that case, Emperor Jiajing would definitely hate Zhao Wenhua, who made him embarrassed in front of his ancestors, would take some excuses to deal with him after a while. Moreover, if he did not directly attack Zhao Wenhua, Yan Song would have no way to defend, so he could only watch the flag being pulled out, so this is the safest way.
But now that Li Mo has involved Zhao Wenhua, especially the memorial of "Hai Yanhe Qing", the matter has changed, because he forgot that Emperor Jiajing had just praised Zhao Wenhua to all the world and his ancestors, and promoted him to the Minister of Works and the title of Prince Taibao. Just like Yan Song reminded that "the emperor trusted him and gave him official titles, and added thousands of favors to him." If only one month later, Jiajing defeated him and criticized him, it would be like slapping himself hard in the face. This would be very difficult for Emperor Jiajing, who was as handsome as the sky.
Mr. Yan Ge has been serving Jiajing, a strange emperor for twenty years and has already figured out his temper, personality and various power tricks. He accurately grasped the subtle psychological changes of Emperor Jiajing, so he can naturally prescribe the right medicine and the disease will be eliminated!
In fact, his methods are very simple... Since the emperor is hesitating, I will first slander Zhao Wenhua as the emperor wants, scolding him to the point of being decent. It seems that he will not cut into pieces and kill the nine clans, and it will not relieve the emperor's hatred! If this method is used on ordinary bosses, Zhao Wenhua will definitely be dead.
But our Jiajing Emperor is not an ordinary person. One of his characteristics is his stubbornness... When he is both at the end of his head, he likes to fuck people. If you say you go west, I will go east. If you say you chase chickens, I will go to drive them. This BT temper should have been developed in the grand ceremony that lasted for more than ten years... Even the emperor himself did not notice that fighting with court officials has become a part of his character and has never changed for decades.
Yan Song grasped this mentality a long time ago, and was good at glimpsing the emperor's nature and intentions, so as to control the emperor's joys and angers. If he wanted to frame someone in front of Jiajing, he would first praise the person, and then without any fireworks, as if he had a verbal and unintentional mention of the other person's words and deeds that touched the emperor's disgust and taboos, which would inevitably make the emperor angry and immediately punish him and would never forgive him.
On the contrary, if he wanted to save someone, he would first slander him as he did now, as if he would not impose a slap on him, and it would not be able to relieve the emperor's hatred. When the emperor thought it was too much and felt compassionate, Song would turn his tone and speak sweet words to make Emperor Jiajing feel comfortable and relaxed, and he would suddenly turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.
This is one of Yan Song's secret weapons standing in the court like a tumbler. It has been tried and done for more than ten years. I don't know how many loyal and wise men died unjustly, nor do I know how many evil people have escaped punishment, and stayed out of their own wings and continued to do evil.
Therefore, Chen Lian impeached Yan Song to "serve His Majesty's joy, anger, power, and blessings, and steal the power of the emperor's superiors," and did not wrong him at all!
Sure enough, Emperor Jiajing unknowingly got into trouble. He felt that Yan Song was going to throw his pawns and protect his car when he saw something big, and he felt a little pity for Zhao Wenhua... Although he was too calm to report to Zhao Wenhua and was flirting with fraud, Zhao Wenhua was the only civil and military man in the court. He voluntarily gave up Shu Yi's life of bells and cattle food in the capital and went to Jiangnan to supervise the Japanese. He went there for nearly two years.
Emperor Jiajing felt that even if the ministers who were "willing to endure hardships" and "willing to sacrifice" had some bragging and agitating cannons... it was okay to punish them, how could they erase all the credit and kill them with one stick? Furthermore, after listening to the vivid explanation of "governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food", the emperor already knew it, so he did not really get angry.
After making up his mind, Emperor Jiajing slowly stood up, walked down the imperial stairs, sat on Yan Song's brocade, and looked at the old master who was kneeling on the ground and said, "The old master is a little unkind, right? Although Zhao Wenhua is a little unworthy, he has been in Jiangnan for two years, and has been sleeping in the open and hard, and he has won more than 20 battles, and he has made more efforts and has made a lot of contributions. If he kills this, will the people in the world feel disappointed and no one is willing to work hard for me again?"
Yan Song couldn't help but feel happy when he saw the emperor taking a trap, but he didn't dare to show any of it. He sighed: "The emperor is as broad as the sea. He is truly a benevolent emperor that has never been seen in history. It is a blessing for his ministers to serve His Majesty in three lives!" He first sent out a high hat with confidence, and his expression turned just right. He began to review himself: "When Zhao Wenhua learned about the Southeast Incident, he was worried and frightened. He wanted to ask His Majesty to apologize to him, but he did not dare to disturb the emperor's Qing Xiu, so he ran to the empress..." As he said that He squeezed out a few tears, and combined with his wrinkled old face, he felt a sense of sadness. He only heard him choking and said, "I am not as good as Your Majesty. Not only did he not think of the contribution he had made, but he also blamed him for "falsely reporting the results of the war and being impetuous". He even angrily said terrifyingly, completely ignoring the father and son's feelings... At that time, I felt that I was just loyal and selfless, but now I was influenced by His Majesty's benevolence, and only then did I realize that I was too biased..." He did the whole show and cried and asked for punishment.
After all, he is an old friend for more than 20 years, and even a dog has feelings for him. Emperor Jiajing couldn't bear to say, "Why don't you help the chief assistant up?"
Huang Jin and Xu Jie quickly stepped forward and helped the old master Yan who was crying miserably. Emperor Jiajing stood up and pointed at Jindun, and the two helped Yan Song sit down.
Emperor Jiajing held his hands and looked at the broken sky outside the window frame. There was a flock of pigeons flying by. The melodious pigeon whistle made the emperor feel much better. He said leisurely: "The person who has to tie the bell must be untied. Whoever owes the famine will pay it back, let Zhao Wenhua go to the southeast again."
Hearing the emperor said this, Yan Song was so happy that he cried, and trembled out of his sleeves and said, "I have a memorial from your Majesty, I have Zhao Wenhua's request to admirate the Southeast again!"
"Oh?" Jiajing didn't look back, but just looked at the sky and said lightly: "Ignore!"
Yan Song smiled bitterly and said, "The old minister is dazzled, so please ask Eunuch Huang to read it for help."
Huang Jin saw Jiajing nodded, then took it and started the memorial and said, "... The Japanese pirates are entrenched overseas, advancing and retreating freely, gathering and dispersing, which is difficult to capture. If you want to fight and win, you need to be harmonious and work together. However, the Southeast Governor Yang Yi was not convinced by the public, incompetent, and incompetent, and narrow-minded, and jealous of talent. Zhejiang Governor Hu Zongxian and Su Song General Yu Dayou, although they have the talent of Le Yi and Sun Wu, they are controlled by their own moderation and are restricted everywhere and difficult to perform, so that the enemy can take advantage of the situation. Otherwise, why did the people in the Southeast have been ruined by the Japanese pirates again after only a few months?"
"I am a mediocre talent, but I am unwilling to abandon it. I am always in the court ranks and I often think about it to repay the emperor's kindness. Seeing that the Japanese and pirates are rampant, the king and father are worried, and I can't sleep or eat. I think repeatedly and dare to ask the emperor to dismiss Yang Yi to free the shackles of Zhejiang's civil and military affairs, so that the upper and lower levels can work together to completely pacify the southeast! I am not talented, and I beg you to go out again! I guarantee that with my wealth and life, there will be no Japanese and pirates in the thousands of miles of seashores, and I will give your Majesty a real sea of ​​peace and clearness! The criminal Zhao Wenhua cried and bowed to him."
Emperor Jiajing finished listening silently, and there was no pigeon in the sky. Then he turned around and said lightly: "Why didn't you take it out earlier?"
"Accusing a crime is a crime. If you take out this memorial for volunteering, it is inevitable that there will be suspicion of disturbing the sage. I will never dare to do so." Yan Song said nonsense... In fact, when the emperor's aura was not yet gone, it would be useless to take out this thing. Only at this time can you make a final decision and bite it back. Master Yan's grasp of the temperature is indeed perfect, and he is more than one level stronger than Li Mo.
After pondering for a while, Emperor Jiajing asked the two first-rank officials and said, "What do you think of the two families?"
