It's really shocking that something like this happened.
He quickly ordered someone to inquire and found out what happened.
It turned out that Jiajing came out of the palace in casual clothes. He originally wanted to take a look, but when he came in, he found that the captain here was really doing nothing. While the teachers were having a meeting, a group of people were chatting and laughing there.
Before these people entered school, they were a group of dandy boys. Their main job was to tease dogs and tease well-behaved women. For most of them, enrolling in school was nothing more than gilding, so they didn't take it seriously.
In their opinion, it's just playing outside, so naturally it's also playing when you get here.
Jiajing came incognito, and found that the gate outside the school was loose, so he simply brought Huang Jin in. Hearing these filthy words and seeing these people unable to stand or sit, he immediately felt disgusted in his heart. His temperament
That's it, if you don't like something, you just don't like it, so you turn around and leave.
After understanding what happened, Xu Chang, Xu Qian, and Zhou Tai were all dumbfounded. Xu Chang's face was gloomy. He originally wanted to give a lecture in front of the captains, but now he was in a bad mood, so he sneered and said: "Let's start training today.
Well, nothing can be done without rules. Mr. Zhou, I leave it to you how to discipline them. Train them hard. Anyone who dares to disobey will be beaten to death!"
After giving the order, Zhou Tai also became dignified. It was obvious that the emperor did not like the current Royal Academy. Now everyone pointed at the academy to eat. If there was a problem with the academy, how could he put this old face aside?
So with an order, he took a dozen martial arts instructors with their swords in hand and summoned the captains to practice.
Xu Qian's face was a little heavy and he said: "Your Majesty is leaving angrily now. It seems that those captains said something that angered Tianyan. These people really don't know how to live or die. There is no choice. My son has no choice but to go to the palace and apologize first. Dad,
I'll leave this to you for now."
Xu Chang nodded and said: "I never imagined that this would happen. My father will continue to investigate this matter. I want to see who is so bold as to offend the emperor."
Xu Qian shook his head: "There is no need to investigate this matter. Although His Majesty was angry, he did not get angry on the spot. This means that what this person said must be treason, but His Majesty did not want to make it public. If the matter becomes serious, this person is not human.
Does everyone know? You can only pretend to be confused about this matter."
Xu Chang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "You still have a way, just go ahead."
Xu Qian quickly entered the palace, and Jiajing was waiting for him in the Nuan Pavilion. Judging from the expression on his face, Jiajing's mood did not seem to be very bad, but Xu Qian saw through Jiajing. Jiajing's face was never a barometer.
It is in vain to see something coming out of your face.
Xu Qian smiled slightly, but did not mention the matter of the Royal Academy. He just said: "I have squeezed out some time and want to talk to His Majesty."
"Speak?" Jiajing's face was calm and he said: "Isn't the Royal Academy starting today? Don't you, the attendant, talk about some great principles of saints?"
Xu Qian said seriously: "In fact, there is no need to repeat the saint's great principles. It will only be said a few times during the lecture."
Jiajing sneered: "Some captains are usually very conceited and very arrogant. If I don't explain the truth to them clearly, I don't know what treasonous words they will say or what treasonous things they will do."
Jiajing's implication was that there were people in the school who were treasonous and immoral. Xu Qian smiled instead and said: "The purpose of the school is to make these rebellious and pampered people become the pillars of our Ming Dynasty and be able to serve your majesty. Don't worry, your majesty, these people will not abide.
The rules are for sure, but I promise that it won’t take more than a month to make them abide by the rules and make them loyal people."
Jiajing said suspiciously: "Really?"
Xu Qian said confidently: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, why not be bold and make a bet with your Majesty?"
Something that originally made Jiajing very depressed suddenly made Jiajing interested. Jiajing squinted his eyes: "What are you betting on?"
Xu Qian said: "Within a month, the Royal Academy Captain will definitely impress Your Majesty. As for the bet, if Your Majesty loses, you might as well send a plaque to the Royal Academy. This plaque should be made of pure gold. How about it?"
Jiajing couldn't help but smile, and his mood became much better, and said: "You, you, you only think about me losing, but what if you lose?"
Xu Qian said seriously: "It's all up to your Majesty's discretion."
Jiajing did not press forward step by step. He nodded and said: "In that case, this matter has been settled."
After the two agreed, Jiajing's bad mood was gone. He stood up from the imperial chair and said, "Yes, since Mr. Wang entered the cabinet, the court has been very lively recently."
Xu Qian couldn't help but said: "I wonder what happened again?"
Jiajing said: "I heard that Wang Ao disliked Yang Tinghe's regulations on official affairs. But before Wang Ao came to Beijing, Yang Tinghe had already started to purge the official administration. Wang Shaofu put forward different opinions. Although Yang Tinghe was polite to him
Youjia, but he refuses to accept Wang Ao's opinion no matter what. You know Wang Shaofu's temper. He is a stubborn person. The more Yang Tinghe refuses to agree, the more he refuses to give in.
…”
Xu Qian nodded in agreement. He also knew a thing or two about Wang Ao's character. This kind of person was extremely capable. The more capable the person, the more assertive he was. As a result, the two cabinet bachelors came to terms with each other. In fact, this
It's a reasonable thing, yes
Yang Tinghe said that he must not give in on official affairs, because once he gives in, his rights in the official department will be weakened. This involves the issue of who has the final say in the official department in the future, not to mention Wang Ao, but his father.
They will all fall out when they come.
Since Yang Tinghe refused to accept opinions humbly, and Wang Ao was very opinionated, it would be strange not to cause trouble.
Jiajing continued: "The most ridiculous thing is that early this morning, an imperial envoy directly wrote a letter, accusing Wang Aogou of using rats to meddle in other people's affairs..."
Xu Qian couldn't help laughing and said: "The envoys below must have seen Yang Tinghe and Wang Shaofu arguing and wanted to gain Yang Tinghe's favor and favor, so they took it upon themselves to criticize Wang Shaofu."
Jiajing nodded and said: "Yes, originally, Yang Tinghe treated Wang Shaofu at a respectful distance. He was naturally polite to Wang Shaofu, but when Wang Shaofu wanted to take care of things, he would definitely not give in. Now the imperial envoy thinks he is proud of himself.
I am helping Yang Tinghe, but in fact I am hurting Yang Tinghe. Wang Shaofu is okay if you are polite to him, but if you are not polite to him, it is not easy to offend. Now, it depends on what action Wang Ao will take.
"
Jiajing knew very well that Xu Qian taught him to make the right move. Wang Ao's personality and Yang Tinghe were incompatible. The reason why the two were inseparable more than ten years ago was because there was no conflict of interest between the two parties, but now they are not.
It’s completely different. At present, the government and the opposition are at war with each other. Although Wang Shaofu just
He had just started to recover, but he was by no means so easy to offend. Of course, a small official would not dare to impeach a cabinet minister easily. Whose confidence did this official borrow to give Wang Ao eye drops? Think of Yang Tinghe's treatment of Wang Ao.
With all the changes in attitude, Wang Ao may have become dissatisfied with Yang Tinghe at this moment.
Xu Qian said with a smile: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, if this is the case, the court will have a good show. With Wang Shaofu's temperament, he will definitely fight back. Now it depends on how far Wang Shaofu will fight back, and whether Yang Tinghe will fight."
In a confrontation, Your Majesty can take advantage of this opportunity to cut off Yang Tinghe's wings. For example, Mao Ji, the bachelor of the cabinet, has always followed Yang Tinghe's lead. If you take the opportunity to get rid of Mao Ji, it will be like cutting off Yang Tinghe's arm."
Jiajing's eyes narrowed, and he seemed to be moved by Xu Qian's 'plan'. He said slowly: "Oh? It's just that Mao Ji has never had any serious problems, and Yang Tinghe is backing him. How can we get rid of it?"
Xu Qian smiled slightly and said: "There is no rush now, the time should be within these few months, I will handle this matter."
In addition to the cabinet bachelor, it is a bit weird to think about it when you say this as a Hanlin scholar. However, the cabinet bachelor and the cabinet bachelor are different. Some cabinet bachelors are powerful, and some are powerful.
But just go
Dogs, like Mao Ji, have unstable foundations. They just rely on Yang Tinghe's big tree to enjoy the shade. To put it bluntly, Mao Ji's real power may not be comparable to that of a certain minister, while Xu Qian has the status of an emperor.
Allies are not without the strength to fight.
However, there are still many difficulties that need to be carefully eliminated. Xu Qian and Mao Ji can be said to be old enemies. The two have had a feud for a long time. Xu Qian believes that Mao Ji has also been looking for opportunities to put himself aside.
death place
, in this case, why not take advantage of it first? Now Yang Tinghe and Wang Ao are fighting, it is an opportunity to take advantage of Yang Tinghe's free time to find an opportunity to bring down Mao Ji. In this way, Xu Qian can sit back and relax.
But to implement this plan, the emperor and Xu Qian alone would not be able to achieve it. Although the emperor was noble, the current Jiajing was far from the notorious authoritarian emperor in history. Xu Qian had to win over an ally, and something immediately came to his mind.
Someone came out.
"This person... can definitely help him!" Xu Qian murmured in his heart.
Jiajing glanced at Xu Qian. There was a hint of murderous intent on Xu Qian's face. Jiajing smiled and said: "That Mao Ji, I have long disliked it. Just try your best to do whatever you want."
Well, that’s right, don’t forget the bet between me and you.”
