Mingshi

Chapter 1399 Please tune
but……

He didn't expect that Yan Song would end up like this now.He even slept on the grave, and had no food to eat, so he could only steal the tribute on the grave.Anyone who dares to take care of Yan Song will be arrested by Fenyi County Magistrate Zhang Shi.

"Too much deception!" Emperor Jiajing was furious: "Call Xu Jie here."

Emperor Jiajing didn't even call Gao Gong, because he knew that this matter could only be done by Xu Jie.And you really don't know Emperor Jiajing, is Zhang Shi from Xu Jie?

Xu Jie soon arrived at the rebuilt Yuxi Palace. Just as he was about to pay his respects to Emperor Jiajing, he saw Emperor Jiajing swearing:

"Xu Jie, what do you want to do? I have already turned Yan Song into a commoner and let him spend the rest of his life at home. What did you ask Zhang Shi to do? Let an old man in his eighties sleep on the grave and eat tribute from the grave as a reward." Food. In our Ming Dynasty, even an old farmer who is over [-] years old should be respected by the world, even if I see it, I should respect him. Is this how you treat an old man?

What are you thinking about?

Strict party?

Is there still a strict party now?
Under the banner of justice, they do despicable things.

Is this what the chief minister of the Ming cabinet should do?
Is this what scholars should do? "

Xu Jie saw sweat on his forehead, he didn't know about it, how did Emperor Jiajing know.But if you know it, you know it, and you can't hide it.Lowering his head, he waited for Emperor Jiajing to finish cursing, then hurriedly said:
"Your Majesty, I don't know about this matter!"

"You don't know?" Emperor Jiajing looked at Xu Jie sarcastically.

Xu Jie hastily kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister really doesn't know. Anyway, the old minister and Yan Song have been working in the same room for decades. The old minister and Yan Song just disagree on politics, and they still admire Yan Song's knowledge very much. What's more, as His Majesty said, he is over eighty, how could the old minister do such a thing?"

"Then you say the story about Yan Song is false?"

"Since His Majesty has received the news, it must be true.

Your Majesty, that lion was originally sent by a veteran to Fenyi County.At that time, Yan Song had just been demoted, and the strict party was still in the government and the opposition.At that time, the veteran's mind was to let Zhang Shi monitor Yan Song, so as to prevent the resurgence of the Yan Party, but he absolutely had no intention of persecuting Yan Song.

Thinking about it now, the old minister was wrong.

That lion was originally an imperial envoy, he was jealous of evil, and he hated Yan Song even more.Presumably these things are all his own ideas.The old minister then strictly ordered Zhang Shi to treat Yan Song kindly. "

Emperor Jiajing remained silent. In fact, he also felt in his heart that Xu Jie, the chief minister of the cabinet, should not have done such a thing.Moreover, Luo Xin and Jin Yiwei's memorials only objectively described Yan Song's situation, but did not impeach anyone.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing believed that what Xu Jie said was very likely, and that Zhang Shi, who was jealous of evil, had made his own claim.Immediately snorted coldly:

"There's no need to order that Zhang Shi to treat Yan Song kindly, just take Zhang Shi's official position and replace it with someone who understands the rules and go to Fenyi County."

"Yes!"

"Go down!"

Xu Jie left Yuxi Palace, looked back at Yuxi Palace, and wiped his cold sweat with his hand.After returning to the duty room, I sat there thinking for a while, and then told the clerk:

"Go and call Liang Dongping."

Soon, Liang Dongping, the imperial envoy of the Procuratorate, came to Xu Jie, and Xu Jie said in a low voice:

"You go to Fenyi County to replace Zhang Shi and come back, and stay there as the county magistrate."

"what?"

"After seeing Zhang Shi, ask me clearly what happened and why His Majesty learned of Yan Song's situation."

"Understandable."

Day two.

Yuxi Palace.

Emperor Jiajing looked at Luo Xin and Jin Yiwei Qianhu's second memorial, his face was livid with anger.His eyes went back and forth on the two memorials, and from time to time they fell on the same sentence, which was the last sentence that Zhang Shi yelled out:
"I did everything according to Elder Xu Ge's orders."

He opened his mouth, wanting to call Xu Jie over.However, after thinking about it, he closed his mouth again.

So what if Xu Jie is called over?
Can Xu Jie be dismissed from office?

Dismissing Xu Jie from office was nothing more than a matter of Emperor Jiajing's words.However, after Xu Jie dismissed from office, who will fill Xu Jie's position?

Is Gao Gong the only one left in the cabinet?
That high arch would easily lift Emperor Jiajing up.

This was a result that Emperor Jiajing could not accept.

Then is there anyone who can take over Xu Jie's position?

Have!
And there are two!
One is Luo Xin and the other is Zhang Juzheng.

But Luo Xin...

Emperor Jiajing still had a faint resistance in his heart to let Luo Xin enter the cabinet, and Luo Xin is only a third-rank now, and it is not suitable to be promoted to a first-rank all of a sudden.

As for Zhang Juzheng, although Emperor Jiajing did not resist, Zhang Juzheng, like Luo Xin, was only a third rank.

That said, whether it's promoting either of the two, it will take time.Therefore, Xu Jie is still needed now.

In this way, calling Xu Jie here was also a reprimand.And it's been trained before.Yan Song's problem has been solved, and another training session will result in the same result.

"never mind!"

Emperor Jiajing was afraid of trouble again, and slowly calmed down the anger in his heart, but he already had the mentality of cultivating Luo Xin and Zhang Juzheng, and of dismissing Xu Jie from office.

Luo Xin began to write a memorial to Emperor Jiajing. The meaning of the memorial was that now the south has been pacified, and he is pacifying Zhang Daoyuan. He has been in the old forest for a long time, and he has a health problem and wants to return to the capital.

Because he knew very well in his heart that he couldn't stay away from the capital for a long time.That is the center of politics. If you stay away from the capital, you are far away from the center of power.If you want to go one step further, you must return to the capital.

In recent years, he has been in the north for a while, and the south for a while. The time he was an official in the capital was actually very short.He has done so much meritorious service, but he is only a third-rank official.If this was put on someone else, I am afraid he would have entered the cabinet long ago, right?

This is of course due to Luo Xin's youth, and also the reason why Emperor Jiajing feared Luo Xin.However, it cannot be denied that there are also reasons for holding Luo Xin smoothly, and this reason is not small.

If an official is too capable outside, he will be used as a knife. Wherever there is something wrong, he will cut Luo Xin's knife.However, Luo Xin didn't want to be a knife, he wanted to be the one holding the knife.

However, if you want to be a knife holder, you must return to the capital.

Because the capital is the center of power, no matter how capable you are, if you are not in the capital and far away from the center of power, you can only be a marginal figure, and you will never want to be a person with a knife in your life.

Therefore, he wrote a memorial to Emperor Jiajing, expressing his desire to return to Beijing.And he thinks there will be no problem.I will soon wait for Emperor Jiajing's imperial decree to transfer him back to Beijing.
