"Weak minister Yang Yiqing, please bow to my emperor, long live my emperor!"!

On the way to the Great Gaoxuan Hall, Yang Yiqing was almost weak, as if a gust of wind could blow him down. He came here in a daze, fell to the ground, his voice was hoarse, and he was no longer as domineering as before.

Jiajing opened his eyes slightly, glanced at him, closed his eyes again, and said, "Please sit down!"

There are no seats here, just futons as before.

Yang Yiqing used to kneel on the futon and confront Jiajing. His outrageous behavior was naturally some kind of silent protest against Jiajing, but today, he had no intention of protesting. He even suspected that he was sitting on his knees.

He couldn't support his body, so he sat down cross-legged.

Jiajing said lightly: "I heard that you were going to see me, so I was quite curious. In the past, you were not happy when I invited you to come. Of course I know your thoughts and you can't stand it, but I don't blame you. You have

What's on your mind?"

He suddenly said this sentence, which had a profound meaning, and seemed to say, I don't care about you, it's because you don't know enough. It is said that summer insects cannot talk about ice. How can you understand my cultivation of immortality?

Yang Yiqing nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes..."

If it had been before, I'm afraid he would have jumped up and refuted it, but today, the cabinet minister seemed not to care at all. Yang Yiqing even remembered a poem Xu Qian had written. When he read it at that time, he just felt that Xu Qian

The guy was being pretentious, but now that I think about it, it is extremely appropriate: the rolling Yangtze River flows eastward...

Now I am afraid that I have become a yesterday's flower and become the water that has rolled eastward. Now, what can I care about?

Jiajing smiled slightly: "I have also heard about those memorials and rumors from outside. Is this why you came here to find me?"

Yang Yiqing's face turned red and he nodded quickly: "I dare not hide that this is what your Majesty is doing, but the minister is really innocent, so please be aware of it."

Jiajing seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said, "Can you tell me what happened?"

Yang Yiqing felt like he was stuck in his throat, and finally said: "I am a humble minister with little virtue and limited talent, and cannot shoulder the responsibility entrusted by Your Majesty. Now that I am old, I am fortunate that Your Majesty will not give up, but I am no longer able to see things, let alone share your worries and ask Your Majesty for your favor."

Yes, yes, I will resign and return home."

When he said this, Yang Yiqing already knew that he could not turn back. There was absolutely no turning back on this kind of thing. The reason was very simple. Even if His Majesty did not allow it, you had to plead a second time or a third time. And His Majesty said to himself

There is not much love, and if you don't agree three times, the only possibility is that you won't let him go, and refusing to let him go means he will be punished.

Jiajing glanced at Yang Yiqing lightly and said: "The affairs of the DPRK are complicated and the cabinet is short of manpower. How will the cabinet function if Yang Qing resigns? Yang Qing should think twice."

Yang Yiqing said without hesitation: "I am stupid and my eyes are dim. Please choose someone wiser."

Jiajing said with a sarcastic look on his face. Of course he knew the news from outside. Those impeachment memorials had not been handed in yet. He also knew that he just didn't expect that the arrogant cabinet minister would end up falling for countless trivial things like letting dogs hurt people.

.

This kind of trivial matter, which even a prefect might not be able to deal with originally, seems to be very powerful now.

Jiajing muttered: "Since you have made up your mind and I have nothing to say, okay, I will make it right now and I will let you know tomorrow.

Jiajing directly approved it and did not give Yang Yiqing the opportunity to resign again and again, but this was enough to make Yang Yiqing breathe a sigh of relief, because if His Majesty did not allow it, then it was very likely that he would take the opportunity to punish the crime. Between the permission to serve and the punishment and dismissal, Yang Yiqing

Naturally, he chose the former, and the former gave him a decent step up the ladder.

He couldn't help but kowtow gratefully: "Your Majesty is so kind and kind, but I can't repay you for it."

Jiajing waved his hand and gradually became cold towards Yang Yiqing, who had already entered the official service. At least he understood that he would no longer have to deal with this person. Of course, it stands to reason that when cabinet ministers become official, they would often receive benefits, such as disclosing the information first.

Whether to confer a title of Crown Prince or Grand Master, even after death, one will inevitably be given a posthumous title such as Wenzhi, Wenzhong, Wenyi, etc. But now, don’t even think about mentioning these benefits. I’ll let you go, but you still want the benefits.

?

Yang Yiqing said goodbye and left.

The era of Yang Yiqing has completely come to an end. Of course, this era does not belong to him, but from Hongzhi to Zhengde, and then from Zhengde to Jiajing, he was active in almost all military and political affairs. He had a lot of good governance.

He has done a lot of good things, but he is also absolutely

He is not a kind person. The wealth of the Yang family has been accumulated unclearly. He will never be merciful to his political opponents. Now, all of this has come to nothing. What greets him is the setting sun, maintaining the last bit of dignity.

, he faded out from here and could never come back.

His downfall created a huge power vacuum in the DPRK, but this time it was very different from before. In a sense, many officials had already been filled by the new party, and a large number of officials began to change their jobs.

, it won’t take long for political purges to follow. Those ministers who rely on Yang Yiqing’s relationship, even if they will not be criticized by public opinion and draw a clear line with Yang Yiqing, will definitely step aside. Next, these vacancies will be filled.

New parties nibble and fill.

It's just that Jiajing's mood at this time cannot be said to be good or bad. He has no feelings for Yang Yiqing, and even thinks this guy is a bit of a hindrance. But to him, even if Yang Yiqing is replaced by another, it doesn't make any sense, because... the cabinet minister

They are all his enemies, the most important thing for every cabinet minister.

The ultimate goal is to govern the country and bring peace to the world, but unfortunately, the emperor doesn't like you to govern the country and bring peace to the world. At least in Jiajing's eyes, what he needs is not officials, but officials. He doesn't need anyone to make decisions. What he wants is to make decisions himself.

If you have an idea, let others provide opinions and reference, or simply implement it.

This is actually the political ecology of the entire Ming Dynasty. No matter who the cabinet ministers are, they all hope that they can make decisions and order the princes on behalf of the world. However, the emperor obviously does not see it that way. The country and the country belong to my family, and the country also belongs to my family. They want power.

No, it's more like killing you.

After watching Yang Yiqing leave, Jiajing breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly: "Come out."

A person flashed out of the side hall, it was Xu Qian.

Jiajing said lightly: "Since you insist on destroying Yang Yiqing, why do you insist on asking me to agree to his becoming an official? Wouldn't it be better to beat up the drowned dog?"

Just now, Xu Qian had entered the palace and begged Jiajing to agree to Yang Yiqing's appointment. Otherwise, with Jiajing's temperament, how could he be so willing to give up? What he likes to do most is to tease people in a bad way. Yang Yiqing is not a very good person.

It was more disgusting than Jiajing, so now that Yang Yiqing was of no use anyway, he would simply go to death, but he knew Jiajing's psychology well.

If Jiajing, a smart man like him, didn't know that it wasn't Xu Qian who was behind this, he would be really hopeless. Therefore, there was a bit of rebuke in this sentence, obviously he was a little bit dissatisfied with Xu Qian's good opinions.

Displeased.

Xu Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. In fact, it is not that I want to punish Yang Yiqing, but that your Majesty insists on punishing him."

Jiajing was stunned... Damn it, what kind of truth is this? It was obviously your organization that took all the blame, but instead you put the blame on me. Is there any justice in this?

Jiajing asked: "What does this mean?"

Xu Qian said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember that the monthly income of the inner treasury in the first two months was less than 30% of the previous one?"

Jiajing nodded: "Yes."

Xu Qian sighed: "This is all because of Yang Yiqing. He plotted against the New Deal and created many branches in the royal way. Therefore, the New Deal almost collapsed. Ruyifang and Sea Road appeased the envoys, and their profits almost plummeted. Although the minister went to Zhizhe,

Finally saved

The situation has been changed, but if Yang Yiqing does not fall, there will be a second and third Yang Yiqing in the future. For the sake of the New Deal and for His Majesty, Wei Chen would rather be accused by thousands of people than to be a bad guy for once, but Wei Chen is indeed good at it.

I have made an opinion, and please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Jiajing's face softened a little. The past few months were indeed very difficult. Think about it, he used to earn nearly two million yuan a month. Jiajing was also used to spending money lavishly, giving money to the empress dowagers of the two palaces and the concubines of the nobles in the palace.

Money has also been greatly increased. There are drafts, new palaces, and collecting all kinds of rare treasures. The money is spent like water. When a person spends money lavishly, once his income drops sharply,

What will happen?

In fact, when an economic crisis with Ming characteristics occurred in Zhejiang Province, an economic crisis also began in the palace. This crisis involved a wide range of people, not only the queen mothers of the two palaces, but also the nobles of the harem, and even the princes and princesses.

It was Jiajing himself who also suffered a huge blow. Those who were originally going to practice

The renovation of the imperial garden had to be stopped, and the construction of the new palace had to be stopped abruptly. It was also unclear whether the generous rewards originally promised to the clan should be distributed or not. This was Jiajing's plan to cultivate immortality.

It has been affected and affected. Under this situation, can Jiajing's life be easy?

Ordinary people eat when they have food, and eat porridge when there is no food. They just make do with it, as long as they don't starve to death. However, the emperor is the emperor, and the emperor has no habit of tightening his belt.

Xu Qian's words are very reasonable. Yang Yiqing has blocked everyone's way of making money, so he must be finished. If he is not finished, everyone will have a hard time. The merchants will jump off the building, and the emperor will also have to endure life.

Jiajing couldn't laugh or cry, and shook his head: "You are using strong words to make sense." Even so, it does make sense.
