Xu Qian's proposal was equivalent to moving away a big stone in Jiajing's heart. Who was Wang Ao? He might not have seen it with his own eyes, but he had been famous for a long time when he was in Anlu.
This old guy is a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and is a kind of person who is not in the air, clean and honest, but extremely stubborn. The more stubborn this kind of person is, the more he has his own ideas. What will happen once he enters the cabinet?
It is impossible for the ministers of the cabinet to remain consistent forever, but two tigers are never allowed in a cabinet. Wang Ao is an old minister, with an older qualification than Yang Tinghe, and he is not strong in character. He will never compromise on what he believes in. In addition, Yang Tinghe has received his favor. So if he encounters differences in the future, will it be Wang Ao listen to Yang Tinghe or Yang Tinghe listen to Wang Ao?
Once there is a dispute, Wang Ao will definitely argue with reason. With the old man's temperament, he will probably not care about Yang Tinghe's face. In addition, he is old enough, Yang Tinghe is also half of his disciple. If Yang Tinghe is stubborn, he will inevitably be pointed at by others and will not be able to come to Taiwan.
But what if Yang Tinghe lowered his attitude and obeyed Wang Ao? Then who was the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty? Although Yang Tinghe is talented, he earned this chief minister with one sword and one shot. Even if this person is kind to him and how this person has promoted him, Yang Tinghe will never give up his authority.
Jiajing could almost imagine that in the days to come, Yang Tinghe would have to force a smile to face Wang Ao, a hot potato, and would have to have a headache.
Xu Qian's plan obviously cannot completely destroy Yang Tinghe. The purpose is nothing more than to disgust the Prime Minister. Of course, the Prime Minister was disgusted and was restricted when doing things, so naturally he did not have the mood to continue chasing and fighting. He did not have the intention to deal with people like Xu Qian, Gui Xiang, Gui E, etc. At least for a considerable period of time, Xu Qian and others were safe.
Jiajing said happily: "Why didn't I just realize that after hearing what you said, I suddenly realized it. It seemed that things had not become as bad as before, and there was still room for maneuver. When Jiang Mian's resignation was submitted, I immediately approved it and directly ordered Wang Ao to go to Beijing."
Xu Qian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the student has a reluctant request."
Jiajing said: "After you said that, didn't I just say it? Thanks to you, you can ask for any requests as soon as possible. As long as I can do it, it will naturally give you convenience."
Xu Qian said: "If Mr. Jiang handed over the memorial, please do not rush to approve it. At least... it should be said after the palace examination."
Jiajing pondered for a moment and said, "Did you think that as long as this matter is hanging, as long as Jiang Aiqing doesn't retire for a day, Yang Tinghe will not be considered successful. He always feels a little hungry, keeping this mind, after the palace examination, can you get some benefits from it?"
Xu Qian sighed and said, "Your Majesty is the one who knows me. You can't hide this selfishness of your students."
When Jiajing heard this, he showed joy and said, "I am sure about this matter. Let's waste it first. You are my person. Now you are Huiyuan. I personally take the exam during the palace examination. As long as you answer your questions well, I will naturally be more biased towards you. This academy is a foregone conclusion. With this background, as long as Yang Tinghe has some concerns, he will definitely give you some sweetness and comfort you temporarily. At that time, there will be a good show to watch."
The two discussed and the big stone in Xu Qian's heart was already lost. He really wanted to get benefits. After all, after the palace examination, the official was obtained, but the arrangements in the future will be the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel. As long as Yang Tinghe is willing to appease himself, he will inevitably give himself benefits. Being an official is like reincarnation. Whoever has a higher starting point is the winner in life.
The king and his ministers said some more gossip, and Jiajing suddenly said, "The Ministry of Rites asked about your birth date and horoscope, why didn't you report it truthfully? Why, do you want to regret my marriage?" His face deliberately pulled down and continued, "Since the imperial edict has been released, you cannot tolerate you to regret it. This is not a joke. No matter what you think or how you get along with this lady of the Lu family, in short, this marriage must be done, and as for the rest, I will not ask about it."
Xu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, yes." But he thought to himself that on one side is his first wife and on the other side is the emperor. I am stuck in the middle of this, and I really don't know how to be a human being. It's really hard, it's hard.
Seeing that it was not too early, he stood up and said, "Students still need to prepare for the palace examination, so I will say goodbye first. Your Majesty, success or failure is nothing, the most important thing is to be patient. Although Yang Tinghe is powerful, His Majesty is the emperor after all."
After saying that, Xu Qian said goodbye and came out of the Meridian Gate. He let out a long sigh, looked around for a moment, and then cursed: "Damn!"
When he entered the palace, he was a carriage prepared by the palace. He was quite comfortable when he drove into the palace in the palace. However, his mother's palace was only responsible for picking up and not sending him off. The outside of the Meridian Gate was empty and there was not even a car and sedan. Could it be that he wanted to walk home by himself? Isn't this a cheating father?
He shook his head helplessly and walked out. Gen didn't notice that in the door hole in the Meridian Gate, a knife-wielding guard looked at him quietly. When he walked far away, he greeted the military officer who led the team and said, "Sir, my stomach hurts a little. I think it was because I had eaten my stomach early in the morning..."
The military officer waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, go... don't mess with this palace gate."
The news of Xu Qian entering the palace could not be hidden from Yang Tinghe. At this time, Yang Tinghe was sitting on the chair with a fun-worthy look, and Mao Ji was at his lower head.
Nowadays, the cabinet is much quieter. Jiang Mian is sick and may never appear here again. A group of people have been cut off from the cabinet, so the two of them have spoken much more relaxed. Although they are still wary of the partition walls, the tense atmosphere in the past has disappeared a lot.
Yang Tinghe said happily and angrily: "Weizhi, what do you think?"
Mao Ji sneered: "This shows that Your Majesty has no opinion. When the emperor encounters such a major event, he actually invites a new tribute scholar to discuss it. Isn't this a joke? From this we can see that Your Majesty must be in a mess."
Yang Tinghe smiled and said, "This is just one of them. Xu Qian is interesting to say. When I met him a few days ago, he was calm when talking to me. Just from this demeanor, it is not simple. Although this person is young, his mind is mature and cannot be underestimated. But... Since this palace examination is the chief examiner of His Majesty, Xu Qian will definitely be the first-class high school this time. No matter which one is in the first-class, he will be an official sooner or later. I plan to give him some sweetness this time and arrange a good job for him."
Mao Ji said suspiciously: "Why should Mr. Yang be so polite to this kid? The farmer saved the snake, wouldn't he be afraid that the snake would suddenly start to hurt people in the future?"
Yang Tinghe sighed and said, "I have done so many methods. What I have done now is to drive away Jiang Mian first. I can let go of other things for the time being. Jiang Mian will not leave Beijing for a day. I am always unable to let go of my heart, just for fear that someone will be anxious to jump over the wall. Xu Qian and others are afraid that they are already panicked now. I can easily deal with Jiang Mian. Isn't it easy for me to pat Xu Qian to death in the future? So if Xu Qian is Xu Qian, I will never wait to die. I must make some noise and try to keep Jiang Mian. His thoughts are understandable. After all, Jiang Mian has been in secret recently. Xu Qian will never give up on this big tree. Xu Qian is not actually
It's scary, it's scary. I'm afraid that he will give His Majesty some advice. I'm not afraid of anything else, but I'm afraid of this. If they're anxious and make my current plan fail, I'd rather give him some sweetness and eliminate their vigilance, so I'd be mistaken for a while and mistakenly think that I don't take them seriously. As long as they breathe a sigh of relief, they will feel lucky. At that time, I'll drive Jiang Mian away calmly. It's not easy to deal with him? If you want to take it first, you must give it first. I'm not stingy with some benefits. With Xu Qian's qualifications, no matter how powerful it is, he's just a small official. After all, it won't pose too much threat to me."
Mao Ji listened carefully and couldn't help but sigh: "My lord's words are really thought-provoking. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and Xu Qian still can't bear the grudge of a gentleman."
Yang Tinghe smiled and said, "You just like to pick up nice words. Don't underestimate Xu Qian. Look at the road political situation, look at Ruyifang, and Wang Feng. This person is definitely not simple. The reason why I made this choice was to capture the big and let go of the small. Xu Qian is certainly not simple, but compared with Jiang Mian, he is still a big witch."
Mao Jihe nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Yang is talking about it very much."
Yang Tinghe suddenly said: "There is another crucial thing right now, which is the candidate for the newly promoted cabinet minister. Which one do you think is more suitable, Li Shi and Gu Dingchen?"
Mao Ji said in surprise: "Sir, although the candidate for the Cabinet Bachelor is recommended by many ministers, he still needs to write a self-written copy of His Majesty. It seems too early to think about this now."
Yang Tinghe stubbornly shook his head and said, "It's not too early, everything must be planned in advance, and then people will create momentum, so that it will come naturally."
Mao Ji looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "So, Mr. Yang thinks it's better to be Li Shi or Gu Dingchen?"
Yang Tinghe rubbed his temples and smiled bitterly: "In terms of qualifications, Gu Dingchen has the upper hand. Gu Dingchen is also good at character, but sometimes he is a little timid and afraid of things. Only Li Shi, although his qualifications are not as good as others, people with straightforward temperament and straightforward temperament are of course useful, but if they cannot control them well, it is also troublesome. This is the one that I am in a dilemma. Oh, forgot, I will think about it again."
