.The night was deep and the sky was getting late. Everyone in the Imperial College in Juxian Building gradually got drunk. In addition, Gao Yanwang had already left, and the feeling of oppression suddenly disappeared, and the words began to become presumptuous.
The topic was circling around, and they could not avoid the current court. They began to discuss the struggle between the Yan and Xu parties. Although most of these officials were clear and supportive of Xu Jie, what Chen did not expect was that they all believed that the Xu party would win in this struggle! Could it be that Xu Jie's mass base was so solid?" Chen muttered secretly, and continued to listen carefully. Finally, the source of confidence among these people was revealed, but he was ridiculous... because they believed that Xu Jie would definitely replace Yan Song, which was actually a very popular nursery rhyme recently:
The mountains cover the sun and the moon, but the combination is not good; people and the men and men join the water and wood! There are 16 words in total, and it is obvious that they are the kind of prophecy that is gathered for a certain purpose. For the master of riddle guessing, this thing is really not a problem. One by one, the first sentence ▲ The mountains cover the sun and the moon, but the combination is not good. Look at the literal meaning, it means that the mountains will cover the sun and the moon, so the mountains and the sun and the moon should not be put together. After a little further exploration, the mountains are Song, and the sun and the moon are bright, and the combination is not good, which means that the division is suitable. "Combining the literal meaning, you can get the answer to the riddle: The division is suitable and the sun and the moon are unclear, so you cannot be together.
The second sentence, \& Ren Yi Lian Gong Gong, from Shuimu, it is even more meaningless. One person Yi is the generation of Mu Gong, and the water is the river. Add the word ▲Yu, and you can spell out four characters: 'It is Songjiang, and one or two sentences are connected. The meaning of this prophecy is that the Song Dynasty is not good for the Ming Dynasty, and it should be Songjiang. Who is the Song Dynasty? Yan Song is Yan Fen Yi, who is Songjiang? Xu Jie and Xu Huating! In this era, prophecy has a mysterious power and can influence the direction of public opinion. For example, in the ancient times, the "Afang Afang died in the First Emperor" at the beginning of the country, the ▲Don't say that the stone man had one eye to provoke the Yellow River and the world to rebel" are all classic cases of using prophecy.
But Chen knew that this thing would not fall from the sky or jump out of the stone. Instead, he made up to deceive the world in order to achieve some unspeakable goals. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It seemed that Mr. Xu was determined to get it this time, and he even used prophecies and rumors to spread public opinion. He really did everything...
But I have to admire Mr. Xu, who is indeed an expert in taking responsibility! In fact, a prophecy will not allow Xu Jie to replace Yan Song. If it is thrown out when the Yan Party is at its peak, it may not only be useless, but also cause disasters. But the story of Yan Song kneeling in the Golden Palace in the rain has spread, and Yan Shifan was expelled from the Prime Minister's Mansion. This series of blows made Yan Party members panic. Xu Jie threw out this prophecy at this moment, which can not only make Yan Party more chaotic, but also make his morale high and more important, and can also win the support of many fenceists. The effect will naturally be immediate.
With the efforts of Xu Party to build momentum, the members of the Party were finally in danger, and they thought to themselves: It’s so cool to be in autumn...
This is really ▲The storm is coming. The wind is coming. The dark clouds are pressing against the city and the city is about to be destroyed.! The court promotion on the second day began in such an atmosphere.
When Chen came out of his home and arrived outside Xiyuan Gate, the officials of the court had already arrived. Looking around, Yishui was full of Dahongpao, and it was clearly divided into three groups. Chen carefully identified the group of people standing on the left, with thousands of talents and Hebins, obviously it was Yan Dang and the group on the right. It was naturally Xu Dang, and the number of people was no less than that of Yan Dang.
There was another wave of people who were relatively small. When he saw Gao Gong and Fang Du were all inside, he thought that this should be a neutral faction.
When Chen was hesitating about how to stand in line, Gao Gong also saw him and called him over, so he could not help him hesitate.
Chen walked over and saluted several adults. Gao Gong smiled and introduced: "Sir, this is the new Imperial College Priest, but you must have known each other long ago.
Fang Dun and others nodded and said, "The famous women and children of Chen Zhuangyuan know that no matter how ignorant we are, we know them." Chen said a few humble words and stood aside in a low-key manner. Listening to the court recommendations for the time being, what surprised him was that in the hearts of these neutral officials, Mr. Xu's reputation was not much better than Mr. Yan. These people generally held a view that these two adults should not laugh at the monk, but they actually looked like.
He also heard the admiration of all the admirals that the political changes this year were particularly violent. In previous years, the six ministers and nine ministers who were always stagnant in the past, in just Minyue, the former Minister of Justice, the former Minister of Justice, Zhao Zhenji, Wu Shan, the former Minister of Personnel, Wu Peng, the former Governor of Su Song, Yan Choongqing, and five senior officials of the ministry left one after another... All this fully proves how fierce the battle between the Yan Party and the Xu Party has reached.
What's even more terrifying is that this is the precursor of the storm, and the real fight is still behind...
Chen was listening carefully, and suddenly felt a commotion in the crowd, and was driven by curiosity. He saw that the sedan chairs of Ge Lao Yan and Ge Lao Xu came from the east and west avenues, and arrived at the Xiyuan Gate at almost the same time. The sedan chairmen of the two families could grasp the degree like this. It was indeed because they had specialized in their profession! Under the gaze of everyone, there was a few breaths of time, and finally the curtain of the sedan chair in the east was first lifted, revealing the smart and capable old face of Ge Lao Xu. His eyes looked at the sedan chair that was motionless opposite, and he sighed lightly, and said to the people around him: "Welcome, welcome." Then, with the help of his family, he got off the sedan chair and walked towards the sedan chair that was facing him.
Seeing Xu Jie coming out of the sedan chair, the sedan chair opposite also moved... The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and the old master Yan Ge, who was both white, said to Yan Nian with a white face, "Hurry up, help me down."
Yan Nian, who was standing by the sedan chair, quickly reached out to support Lao Fu.
Yan Song got out of the sedan chair, and Xu Jie also walked in front of him and bowed respectfully, "Good, it's so good!"
Yan Song also returned the court without any negligence and said, "Okay, good, Master Gong."
Xu Jie naturally replaced Yan Nian and helped Yan Song's right arm and said, "Is Yan Hu's grandmother better?" ▲ Yan Hu's grandmother refers to the Ouyang family. Xu Jie married the daughter of his eldest son Xu Pan to Yan Song's grandson as his concubine, so he is happy\& has this title, Hu.
Yan Song shook his head and sighed, "It's better to be the same, alas, let's hold on for a day." He said, looking at Xu Jie and said, "Isn't it the same? It's eighty-three after the first lunar month, and it's time to surrender to the emperor and return home."
Xu Jie heard this many times... Yan Song said it when he was 70 years old, and he mentioned it every year. He has been saying it for more than ten years, but he still has the thatched hut and does not waste it, so he believes him again. But he still said, "Don't!" While helping Yan Song walk towards the palace gate, he smiled and said, "The master of the Pavilion will live a hundred years old, and you have to serve the emperor for at least twenty years.
Yan Song shook his head and smiled. Before he could speak, a voice with hatred interrupted, "I have worked for twenty years, and some people will hate us to death!" Those who are so bold and dare to interrupt when the two bigwigs are talking, except Yan Shifan.
Xu Jie laughed and said, "There are so many little masters. Please ask all the officials in the court, who is not hoping that the master will live a hundred years old?"
"What little master!" Yan Shifan interrupted without hesitation: "Why haven't I heard of this? Our Ming Dynasty still has this official position?"
Xu Jie's expression couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed... This title has been called for many years, so that in all informal occasions, people call Yan Shifan this, and he is no exception. Unexpectedly, Yan Shifan turned against him and made Mr. Xu so angry that he couldn't come to Taiwan.
Xu Jie didn't know that Yan Shifan had been warned by Chen Hong, so how could he dare to use this title?
Seeing that the two of them were frozen, Yan Song said slowly: "The officials are looking at us, working together, working together." At this time, the officials also came forward and separated the two, and the small episode passed.
Not long after, a melodious bell rang on the palace gate tower, and the ministers all stopped and entered the Xiyuan in the left and right. They were in the main hall of Yuxi Palace. Shen, as the youngest and youngest, stood in the last row without hesitation, and one step further was outside the hall.
He knelt down with the emperors and shouted "Long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long. When he used a tablet to cover his face, he secretly looked at the imperial stairs, and saw that it was empty and the Emperor was indeed not there.
The adults knelt for a while before a eunuch's voice said, "There is an edict today that the court will preside over the presidency of the Grand Secretary Yan Song and Xu Jie. You must uphold the fairness and recommend the country's talents and do not favoritism. I respect this.
"I'm going to receive the order..." another mountain shouted.
"Please get up, sir." The eunuch said, "Our family won't disturb your discussion anymore. The miscellaneous family will take their leave." As he said, he bowed and swung the whisk and left.
"Eunuch Li walks slowly..." It turned out to be the Sili Supervisory Office:} Li Fang.
After Li Fang left, Yan Song sat on the Jindun, lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes and said, "Please ask the head of the Xu Ge Lao to preside over p Ba O Xu Jie did not refuse as usual, but said respectfully: "After the supporter." After saying that, he straightened his waist and glanced at everyone. A momentum of being unhappy and power suddenly scattered. He only heard him speak slowly and clearly in the official language with Songjiang accent: "Everyone, the Ministry of Personnel has already proposed to the cabinet and dismissed the position of Minister of Rites Wu Shan and Governor of Su Song Yan Chouqing. According to the rules, we should recommend talents to the country and share the worries of the main. So please speak freely."
But everyone would not say anything casually, because before the court was promoted, each faction had already chosen their respective candidates. At that time, it was only these that could compete. If you just mentioned one, it would be useless and would also bring shame on yourself.
So in the final analysis, it is the struggle between Yan and Xu, and others cannot mix with each other. Is the Xu party taking advantage of the situation to pursue and establish a victory, or is the Yan party unwilling to fail and fight back? Shen is waiting and watching.
Suddenly, he felt a chill behind his head, and Shen turned around and looked around. It turned out that the hall door was wide open. He stood at the door again, and naturally became the first object of greeting for the cold wind in late autumn. He couldn't help but shrink his neck and looked at the dark clouds in the sky. He suddenly felt a sense of ominousness...
After a brief period of calm, the enterprising Xu party members broke the calm. The pioneer Liu Tao made a list and shouted: "I recommend Master Yan Neyan! Master Yan has no qualifications and virtues, and is the most suitable candidate." As soon as this statement came out, those activists of the Xu party, angrily, and tried their best to create a posture that was not Yan Nemo. 2 He heard the Shenzi and his head was immediately widened. Although he was now standing by, he had already broken down Xu Jie with great since then. If he wanted to promote the court of the Minister of Rites, he must recommend Ouyang Bijin, and must not be Other candidates, but now the Xu Party has introduced Yan Ne, and clearly did not adopt his own suggestions! Tian Haolian saw that his proposal was completely selfish, but was completely considering Xu Jie! When Chen first attacked Yan Shifan, he knew that he was not strong enough and could not compete with Yan Party, so he went to Xu Mansion to pay a visit, and he knew that he was reasonable and moved with emotion. Finally, he said that Xu Jie agreed to be responsible for this matter. In order to let Xu Jie dispel his concerns, he carefully designed a counterattack plan for him step by step based on the strength and weakness of both sides. One of the core steps was to promote him. When the Minister of Rites, he fully recommended Ouyang Bijin, the Minister of Personnel. Although the quota of the Minister of Rites, that is, a future cabinet member, was given to the Yan Dang, he could take down the vital Ministry of Personnel, and then rely on the Ministry of Personnel to erode the Yan Dang's power step by step, accumulate small victories into big victory, until the situation between the two sides was completely reversed. Chen Shi was too busy to tell Xu Jie the reasons and consequences of doing so... Although in Xu Ge Lao, he always seemed to be raised by his stepmother, the current enemy was Yan Dang, so he did not hide his own personal information at all! Chen Shi knew that I remember that I said to Xu Jie like this: "The Yan Party has a strong wings and sharp minions. If they fight rashly, they will definitely suffer both sides and even suffer them. So we must avoid a decisive battle. Don't be too rush.\& In fact, he said this by taking care of Xu Jie's face. If you tell the truth, it is 'If the war starts in full swing, I don't believe you can win! Because he believes that a mature politician usually shows only the tip of the iceberg, and most of the power is hidden under the water. If he rushes over, he can only become the Titanani.
So he hoped that Xu Jie could continue to be conservative in the face of victory and confer the fine traditions to the last one. One, one, one) Chen thought that for Xu Jie, it should be fine to do this, but he didn't expect that it would be like this, and he actually recommended the Xu Party's Yan Ne instead of Ouyang Bijin! What does this mean? This means that the Xu Party does not intend to let go of any fruits of victory, and is greedy for too much and seek completeness! Chen didn't know what consequences this would bring. Maybe he was too careless, but Chen's original belief in the Xu Party's will win was actually shaken...
His psychological activities could not affect anyone, and Yan Dang stopped doing it immediately. He Bin stood up and said, "I recommend Yuan Wei. If you don't agree, compare it. See where Lord Yan is better than Lord Yuan." This is really incomparable, because Yuan Wei was one vocational school earlier than Yan Ne, and before Yuan Wei moved to the Taichang Temple, he was the Minister of Taichang Temple. Later, when he was transferred to the Zhanshi Mansion, Yan Ne took over his position, so no matter what, Yuan Wei was harder than Yan Ne.
Both sides were verbally fighting and fighting, and Yunran no one said he would not accept anyone, and in the end he could only see the truth on Douzi. Zhang Siwei and Si Zhi from another cabinet had Douzi first, Yan Ming, Yan Ming, represented Yan Ne, and Hongdou, represented Yuan Wei, then brought the jar to collect it.
Chen looked at Gao Gong who was standing in front of him, and saw a mung bean appear in his hand and then put it away. He knew that Gao Gong chose Yan Ne this time... It seems that King Yu's interests are overwhelming. Just because Yuan Wei is King Jing's teacher, Gao Gong cannot choose him.
While thinking, Zhang Siwei brought the jar to him. Looking at the red robe, Zhang Siwei smiled at him with a meaningless meaning and whispered: "This is the last time I have done this.
Chen nodded and sent the prepared mung beans in his hand into Changzi... No matter how unhappy he felt, the overall situation was still important! After collecting the food, Zhang Siwei turned around and returned to the front, respectfully handed it to Xu Jie and said, "Gei Master, 32 people present today, collecting thirty-four stators in total, please check it out.
It turns out that in this occasion, Douzi is not called Douzi, "正" stator,.
"Thank you for your hard work." Xu Jie nodded, then reached out to take the jar and said to Master Yan: "Mr. Ge, let's start to be gentle, right?"
Yan Song shook his head and said slowly after a while: "I can't see clearly, so I'd better count by Mr. Xu."
Xu Jie glanced at Yan Shifan who was extremely low-key and said, "Then, why not let Xiao...oh no, Yan Butang count for the elder of the cabinet?"
Yan Shifan refused to say, "You count yourself, we can trust you." When he said this, a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, which made Xu Jie feel a little uneasy...
Shaking his head and throwing his annoying feeling aside, Xu Jie poured all the stators onto the white cotton cloth in full bloom, and started counting them one by one with a small hook-like thing.
Chapter completed!
