Chapter three hundred and eighteen: morality is broken
The cabinet is Yang Tinghe's cabinet.
In other words, he had the final say here, and even Mao Ji had to be under the control of Yang Tinghe.
The subordinates he needs, not the leader. In a sense, his approach is understandable. It is impossible for the cabinet ministers to be as harmonious as the Sanyang Cabinet or the Liu Jian Cabinet. Since there is a disharmony, it is highly likely that it will be
In fact, then you might as well use powerful means to create harmony. This harmony is, Mr. Yang said that you are harmonious and harmonious. If you dare to have bad intentions, he will kill you without hesitation.
The mistake Mao Ji made was that he was a little arrogant. This was not a good omen. Yang Tinghe defeated Jiang Mian, not to make you Mao Ji emerge. He was establishing his authority. Of course, according to qualifications, this time the auxiliary
After all, it was Mao Ji's, but the problem is that Mao Ji performed too early.
This sentence seems difficult to understand, but if you think about the emperor and the prince, it will be easy to understand. Logically speaking, the world is still the prince, but even if the old emperor is dying, if you dare to show too much joy, you are afraid that
Too unlucky.
What Yang Tinghe wants is attitude. Without nodding, it is naturally not Mao Ji's turn. Of course, Yang Tinghe wouldn't knock Mao Ji to death with one stick. He just got Jiang Mian. If something happened to Mao Ji again, it would inevitably attract people.
The discussion was, and Mao Ji was usually quite well-behaved, and Yang Tinghe just wanted to take the opportunity to hit him.
But just this kind of irrelevant and heavy knock made Mao Ji frightened. Mao Ji's head buzzed, his face was pale, and he finally said carefully: "Mr. Yang...I..."
Yang Tinghe, however, pressed his hand and interrupted him. He smiled slightly and said, "I know you have your difficulties. Your Majesty has his own little thoughts to fight against the Japanese, but you are so strongly opposed, and I am afraid that there will be some.
You have your own selfishness.”
Mao Ji was stunned and said in a daze: "I...how could I have selfishness? It's just that once a war starts..."
Yang Tinghe sighed softly and said, "You don't have to say anything anymore. When war starts, the national treasury will inevitably be disordered. In a few days, you will take over the Ministry of Revenue. The national treasury has nothing to do with others' hands, but
Once you get to your hands, there will be a deficit, which is unreasonable, not to be reasonable."
Mao Ji felt warm and said, "Yang Gongmingjian, I do have this idea, but on the other hand..."
Unfortunately, Yang Tinghe didn't give Mao Ji any chance at all. He continued: "But the treasury is the treasury. From the perspective of the Ministry of Revenue, you naturally think about the treasury. But the emperor and I were thinking about the treasury from the perspective of the court.
The entire country, our Ming Dynasty has a fertile land of thousands of miles and three million armors, but there are clowns who jumped into China. Although it is a disease of scabies, if the court does not send troops, wouldn’t it be laughable?”
Mao Ji was stunned for a moment and said, "Mr. Yang means..."
Yang Tinghe smiled slightly, "But then again, Your Majesty's pacification of the Japanese is different from my husband's pacification of the Japanese. Your Majesty's pacification of the Japanese will first rectify the garrison, but I think it's futile. You said you should make a long-term plan and take it slowly, but
There is no reason. To suppress the Japanese, we must first have a plan to suppress the Japanese. Let’s take a look.”
At first, Mao Ji suddenly felt something was wrong when he heard Yang Tinghe strongly agreeing to pacify the Japanese. However, when he heard Yang Tinghe's second half of the words, he finally let go and said quickly: "It is a court discussion the day after tomorrow. Your Majesty is so anxious to pacify now.
He was not satisfied with the rules of the cabinet, but he was afraid that the court discussion in the future would be planned to be thrown out for everyone to discuss. I heard that there is indeed a lot of news outside now, and many ministers strongly agree with the sanction.
Wow, I’m afraid of that time…”
Yang Tinghe smiled slightly and said, "I'm not afraid of asking me about this matter. Think about it yourself. You are a minister of the cabinet. You will be the second assistant in a few days. Can't you even handle this matter?"
Mao Ji was so energetic that at least Yang Tinghe did not oppose his political views. With this, he felt that it was enough.
After leaving Yang Tinghe's office, Mao Ji's desk had already accumulated a stack of memorials to be drafted. He sat back on his chair, but had no intention of drafting a ticket. Suddenly he remembered something and found a clerk and said, "
Has Xu written it back? I have a ticket here, and I want him to copy it on my behalf."
The clerk had just come from the waitress room and shook his head and said, "If you want to go back, you haven't returned yet. If you go back, you will definitely ask someone to go to Hanlin Archives. Until now, his duty room is still empty, otherwise,
The villain went to invite Li Hanlin or Yang Hanlin to come?"
Mao Ji's eyes flashed and became meaningful, and he said, "There is no need to go down, yes, let Zhang Shu come and pour tea."
The clerk hurriedly went to call someone.
Zhang Shu is a servant of Tongzhengsi and is responsible for passing tickets and memorials. He and Mao Ji are fellow villagers. They usually have a good relationship. When he heard Mao Ji's summons, he naturally did not dare to neglect. He quickly poured tea and waited by Mao Ji's side.
life.
Mao Ji took a bite of tea and frowned and said, "The tea today is not fragrant."
Zhang Shu said nervously: "Sir, this is Wuyi Rock Tea, all of them were made according to the instructions of the adult..."
Mao Ji put down the teacup and said, "Tea is a good tea, but I am not a tea tasting person." He narrowed his eyes and said, "Editor Xu has been staying in Dongnuan Pavilion. Do you know this?"
”
Zhang Shu was shocked. He knew that Mr. Mao was about to get to the point. He nodded quickly and said, "The villain has heard of it, and he just handed over some tickets to the eunuch who was planning to be given to the Silijian. He heard that Xu Qian had been talking to His Majesty for a long time.
And these eggless things in the palace are the most talked about. Whose saints are better? They also took them out and bragged about it, just like them..."
Mao Ji was not in the mood to listen to his nonsense and said, "If Your Majesty sees Xu Qian again, you must inform him. Also, please tell the people outside. Xu Qian will tell him every move. I always feel that Xu Qian
What are you fiddling with, be careful to sail the ship for thousands of years, and don’t make any mistakes.”
Zhang Shu laughed and said, "It's just a Hanlin editor. Whatever the adults care about doing, and if they pinch their fingers, they can crush him into powder and teach him not to die."
Mao Ji sneered coldly: "What do you know? The court mostly restricts the ministers and ministers of the ministers, and many others are precedents of censors to overthrow cabinet ministers. After experiencing so many things, I will look at it in the cracks of the door.
The reports were delivered to Mao Ji on time every day.
But Mao Ji became more and more confused. In fact, Xu Qian’s whereabouts in the past few days are indeed strange, and it is a bit strange. It seems that he deliberately asked someone to go to Hangzhou to use a quick horse. What exactly should he do?
But it is unknown.
Going to Hangzhou... Could it be that I asked Ming Pao for help?
Mao Ji had a premonition in his heart, and he felt that Xu Qian would definitely interfere in this and would make a fuss. Ming Pao really made Mao Ji feel a little afraid. After all, this newspaper has a great influence in Jiangnan, but he thought immediately.
, I felt more attentive, and it was a bit unpleasant. It only took three days in total. Even if I speed up, it would be just a round trip. The far water cannot save the near fire. Xu Qian at most wrote it to support him.
The article about pacifying the Japanese was printed in the newspaper, but it was just an article. If you wanted to turn the world around, you would be a little overestimated by him.
In this way, Xu Qian's work on Ming Pao seems to be not enough to provide timely help. At most, this thing is just icing on the cake.
There was a strange thing that attracted Mao Ji's attention. In the past few days, Xu Qian has been running to Dongning Hou Mansion. He went twice in two days and stayed for quite a while. He stayed there after the value was paid.
There was not a single or two out of there. When it came out, it was smelly of alcohol, and sometimes it was sent back by the Lu family.
The Lu family...
Mao Ji was really a little afraid of the Marquis of Dongning. The families of the Ming Dynasty could not just look at the title. Although the Lu family was just a marquis, it had been passed down for six generations and was flourishing. They were in the personal army and the capital.
The influence among the five major camps is quite large, which is why Jiajing gave the marriage to Xu Qian and the Lu family. Xu Qian was Jiajing's confidant. In a sense, he wanted to win over the Lu family. As long as the Lu family is stabilized, some kind of
In terms of meaning, the new emperor is enough to rest assured.
What did Xu Qian go to the Lu family to do? Could it be that there was a conspiracy...
When Mao Ji was suspicious, the truth came to light. It is said that the day before Xu Qian met Jiajing, Xu Qian also went to the Lu family. He also ate a lot of wine. He stayed for an hour or two before returning drunk.
When I arrived at the mansion, it seemed that there was no problem. Could it be that I was too suspicious?
These two suspicious points were like nightmare, but every time I thought rationally, I felt that there was no deep meaning behind it. If Xu Qian really got Jiajing's instructions and wanted to make trouble in secret, he should contact the imperial envoy and censor more.
That's it. But then again, the relationship between Xu Qian and the Censorate is very tense. Until now, the Censorate mentioned Xu Qian to the core. After all, Xu Qian offended the Censorate a bit ruthlessly, and most of them were
The envoy was very noble and always liked to talk about right and wrong with others. However, Xu Qian had used to act as an envoy from the Censorate. In the eyes of this group, Xu Qian was simply a traitor among the traitors.
“What’s the problem?”
The closer the court discussion, Mao Ji became, the more uneasy he became. But sometimes, he couldn't help but smiled with a self-deprecating smile and said to himself: "It's just a Hanlin editor, what are you afraid of? I have been in the officialdom for decades, but I'm still afraid of him as Xu.
