At dawn, I changed my clothes, washed up, and had breakfast. I was ready to go to court.
With the help of the guards, I came to the palace
I haven't appeared among all officials for several days before, and no one came to me during this period, which surprised me a little.
When we arrived at the hall, the officials chatted in groups as usual
Yan Song and Xu Jie did not show up, and Pan Ming and Zhao Liang did not come either.
The Yue Shaocong saw me not far away and walked over enthusiastically, saying: You guy has gone anywhere these days and no one has been seen! I smiled and said: Someone at home is sick, go back and take a look
The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to filial piety, so when I went home to visit my relatives, I was often used by the old fox in the officialdom as a reason to escape.
The less congregation can be regarded as a versatile figure in the officialdom. She is young and handsome, elegant in conversation, and approachable
Even if he is not Yan Song's side, he has a good relationship with him. Of course, this is also related to his failure to reveal his relationship with Xu Jie.
I don't know who released the news about my visit to Xu Jie, and I don't know how many people know my position now
At this moment, among these officials, I always feel that there are countless pairs of eyes staring at me behind my back, and there are dangers everywhere
Half an hour passed, the cabinet did not come, nor did the emperor come. Instead, a small eunuch came out from behind and announced that the emperor would not attend court today, and asked the ministers to go back.
For a moment, everyone seemed to be in a panic and talked a lot
After asking Yue Shaocong, I realized that Jiaqing has not been to court for more than ten days
No wonder Yan Song and the others are not here anymore. No one has come to me for so many days, and there is still a big figure in his relationship.
Yue Shaocong then secretly told me that although the emperor did not attend court, he had always maintained contact with the cabinet. In other words, he was changing from front to behind the scenes, and he still had his own ideas about major issues, but the cabinet was responsible for helping him convey instructions.
In this way, Yan Song would have even more hands covering the sky. The emperor did not attend court, and the biggest thing was Yan Song.
Fortunately, Emperor Jiaqing is quite smart. He knows how to restrain his ministers.
Yan Song was powerful, so he deliberately delegated power to Xu Jie, which formed a certain balance between Yan Song and Xu Jie. No one could defeat each other, so naturally he had no time to rebel.
Regarding the reason why Emperor Jiaqing did not attend court, in the final analysis, he was too smart.
Ascend the throne as a teenager and after decades of ups and downs, he has grown into a very experienced politician. He is very good at using his subordinates to help him work. In this way, the court seems to have played with enough toys for him, and it is boring.
So, one of the smartest emperors in the history of the Ming Dynasty began to seek the way to live and became a side job Taoist priest
He doesn't go to court every day, just leads a group of eunuchs behind him to practice alchemy and Taoism.
Every day, the four major cabinets had to run to the emperor's smoky health hall, chased Taoist Jiaqing to report on his work and listen to his guidance.
The emperor did not trust Yan Song, and Xu Jie was one level lower than Yan Song. Naturally, these two people were more diligent than the other. If you have any questions, go to the emperor to find him.
If I haven't been there for a few days, I might be dealt with by the other party. The struggle between the two factions has become increasingly fierce as the emperor, the referee, retreated to the second line.
This struggle was free and open, but the censors in the Ming Dynasty were not vegetarians.
The so-called censor is a group of people who are responsible for giving opinions all day long
The emperor who did not attend court naturally became their target of attack
You should know that the censors in the Ming Dynasty were a powerful group. Even if the emperor's behavior was unreasonable, they would write letters over and over again and launch all officials to strike until they achieved their goal, which would make all emperors very distressed.
Therefore, the cabinet became the emperor's shield. Jiaqing stopped showing up and sent memorials to the cabinet. On the one hand, the four cabinet members had to appease all officials, and at the same time had to cover Jiaqing. Sometimes they would be attacked.
This has made Xu Jie and Yan Song suffer. One chief assistant and the other assistant have to fight each other, but also endure internal and external oppression. Every day, memorials of all sizes are flying all over the sky, and various personal attacks are coming to the face.
The smoky court, the officials who are ready to fight, and the chaotic situation is like the smoky alchemy furnace in Jiaqing, with various components constantly colliding, and behind the scenes there are big hands manipulating Jiaqing
It can be said that the authorities are fascinated, and the temptation of power has further lost these well-read officials. Everyone has given everything to fight in the struggle for power, but they have no idea that they are actually just Jiaqing's puppets.
Everyone has a line called power tied to their heads, and the other end of the line is Jiaqing in the backstage
However, Jiaqing, who has been smart for life and played with ministers for most of his life, did not know that in the near future, he himself would become a puppet. Not only his two cabinets, but also something called desire. This is a later story
Yue Shaocong and I left the palace and secretly discussed going to Xu Jie separately.
As a factionless person in the eyes of most people, the Shao Cong and I will be able to play an important role in this battle
When we arrived at Xu Jie's mansion, He Xinyin, the three of us, carefully analyzed the current form and concluded that Yan Song himself was not scary. What was scary was that he had military advisor Yan Shifan on the left and spy Lu Bing on the right.
Yan Shifan, the dog-headed military advisor, is his own son, and he also has the most beautiful Minister of the Ministry of Personnel in the current court. Lu Bing is the leader of the Jinyiwei, another major force that can compete with the military in terms of force. It is really difficult to deal with the intelligence and force.
But we unanimously believe that the breakthrough is Lu Bing
It is impossible for Yan Shifan to turn against his father, but Lu Bing is a decent person. It is precisely because of his decent that he has never forgotten Yan Song's grace, but he does not know that he has helped the evil and has cultivated the biggest corrupt official.
Xu Jie has never won over Lu Bing before, but he is usually strict with himself and has no flaws in personal issues. He is also an old man in the officialdom. Xu Jie's abacus has long been seen through.
The problem is that his values are oriented by Yan Song. What Yan Song asked him to do is the real thing.
What we have to do is to let Lu Bing leave Yan Song completely and see Yan Song clearly
It's like cutting off one of Yan Song's arm, but it's not easy
Just when we were worried, a thought flashed through my mind
Lu Bing is not without shortcomings. As the leader of the Jinyiwei, his overly sensitive sense of smell and overly suspicious personality may be the weapon we can use.
Both Yan Song's minions, Yan Shifan and Lu Bing were completely opposite. Although he claimed to be a genius in strategy, his character was not ordinary. He bullied men and women and did everything he could.
As far as I know, the relationship between them is not very good, and they always have to do whatever they want.
Lu Bing lost his wife in his early years and never remarried, leaving only a daughter. It is said that he is quite similar to his lost wife. He looks like a fairy and is the pearl in Lu Bing's hand.
This girl is only 17 years old, and she is still in her name. Lu Bing usually takes good care of her daughter.
This is how my idea comes from it. As long as Lu Bing knows that the person he hates the most will provoke the person he cherishes the most, I am afraid that even Yan Song will not be able to persuade Lu Bing back then
The idea was to come up with it, but I can't say it, because I know Xu Jie's character. He is an old fox in the court, but his style is honest. This method must be despised by him.
So I suggested that during this period we should shrink our defense line and relax Yan Song's vigilance so that he can put his attention on the censor with confidence and boldness, and then we will find a way to catch his handle and give a fatal blow.
He Xinyin also agreed. He proposed that only by letting Yan Song put down his vigilance could he leak a flaw. Otherwise, with our current state of mutual defense, it would be difficult to seize Yan Song's handle.
Xu Jie was so anxious that it was just his wish to slow things down temporarily. So Xu Jie handed over the heavy responsibility of finding Yan Song's loopholes to me and Yue Shaocong. At the same time, He Xinyin kept paying close attention to Yan Song's movements to prevent him from launching a sudden attack and caught us off guard.
After coming out of Xu Jie, Yue Shaocong asked me what I planned to do. I was embarrassed to tell my plan completely, just said that I wanted to know Lu Bing first before making plans
Yue Shaocong said: Then I'll get close to Yan Shifan and see if there are any loopholes.
Knowing that Yan Shifan is cunning, I remind you that the less Cong is, you must pay more attention and not be fooled by Yan Shifan.
The less you look much easier than me. Brother Cheng Hai doesn’t have to worry. I am sure of protecting myself, but you are, but don’t be suspicious of the Jinyiwei. The more you said, he took out a white jade pendant and said, “If you take this, you will use it if it’s necessary.”
I quickly took it with both hands and asked what the use of Shaocong is. Shaocong just blinked and didn't say anything
I had to put away my jade pendant suspiciously. Yue Shaocong patted my shoulder and said: You and I are the master plan of the world. Your justice is what I value. I will do my best to help you if you have any problems in the future. I must take care of you.
I was moved in my heart, and I almost told all my secrets
After thinking about it, I'd better forget it. It's not too late to talk about it when the time is right in the future
But in my heart, I have regarded Yue Shaocong as my close friend
Back to Qiquan Garden, I came to the study and looked at the jade pendant that Shaocong gave me carefully. I saw that there was dark light flowing in the pure white jade pendant. Although the middle of the jade pendant was hollow, there was dark light appearing faintly. The oval shape was like a person's pupil, which was obviously a treasure.
I realized that this is not just a decorative jade pendant, it is likely to have other magical effects, just like my previous props
The Shaocong obviously knew that this jade pendant was very good, but he still gave it to me. Thinking of this, a hint of warmth rose in my heart.
With the help of the guards, I came to the palace
I haven't appeared among all officials for several days before, and no one came to me during this period, which surprised me a little.
