The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

It was rare for Jiajing to be so stern, scolding the three of them, but this time he was decisive, very firm, and with a strong voice, Yan Song, Xu Jie, and Lu Bing were very tight.

Huang Jin, who was at the side, chuckled inwardly.

Thanks ah thanks.

Thanks to our family's lack of background and education, the emperor would not send such an errand to our family.

Our family was still envious just now, Elder Yan Ge and Governor Lu felt that they had gotten a good job. Looking at it this way, the risk is too great to be worth it!

Chapter 1076 Spokesperson of a famous and powerful family [5]

The three of Yan Song took the order to thank him, but they saw Wang Huya smiling, sending Chen Yuanyuan and his six wives out of the palace, and they happened to meet.

Wang Huya smiled and said: "It's just right for you to be old Yan Ge. I can send out your six wives, big and small, unscathed. All of them are stunning in the world. Old Yan Ge, you are really lucky."

She lovingly rubbed Ah Man's beautiful hair, and said with a smile: "This little Ah Man has a hot personality, dare to love and hate, the most temper for me."

Yan Song was amused.

Wang Huya's temper is straight-forward, and she never thought that Ah Man, a savage and willful beautiful girl, happened to hit it off with her and have such a good relationship.

Wang Huya said to Chen Yuanyuan's six daughters again: "Serve Mr. Yan Ge well and let him serve the country more. With Mr. Yan Ge's methods, I'm afraid that everyone of you will be a first-rank imperial order in the future!"

She covered her mouth and smiled.

Little Ah Man held Princess Ning An in his arms, and asked curiously: "Did you give birth to such a small baby? It's so fun, Ah Man wants to give birth to such a girl for the villain!"

Hearing Ah Man's innocent talk about having children, Gu Hengbo blushed, but Wang Huya laughed loudly, took off a jade ring from his hand, and put it on Ah Man: "Okay! You go back and let Mr. Yan Ge pamper you more, and give birth to a baby as soon as possible."

Although there are so many people, Yan Song can't talk too much with Wang Huya, but the two live and die together, and after a few glances, they can understand each other's thoughts.

Yan Song returned to the mansion and quickly started to act.

He called Gai Nie, and said solemnly, "I want you to go, Luo Wanhua lives in the Zhejiang Guild Hall, and keep an eye on Luo Wanhua!"

Ge Nie's expression changed: "What? Master suspects that this Luo Wanhua might betray you?"

"No!" Yan Song waved his hand and said, "I remembered the story of Tang Bohu and Cheng Minzheng. Xu Jie also mentioned Luo Wanhua many times. I suspect that he is not dead, and he will definitely find my breakthrough from Luo Wanhua. You Just protect him and pay attention to the enemy's movements."

Ge Nie went away in response.

Yan Song called Nie Yinniang and Ah Man again, and gave them secret missions respectively.

Ah Man was in the mansion, panicking from boredom, when he heard about Yan Song's mission, he cheered excitedly and ran out in a hurry.

Nie Yinniang also left.

Yan Song recruited Feng Ji, Lu Quan and others, and secretly made many arrangements.

The secret force under his command began to act with thunder.

After arranging everything, Yan Song stood in the courtyard, looked up at the sky, and said with a faint smile: "Xu Jie, you want to use Ding Wei's imperial examination to overthrow me and frame me? It's a pity, a pity, my boss will only let you lift a rock to hit yourself feet!"

……

Xu Jie came out of the palace, but did not go home, but went straight to the Ministry of Rites.

When he arrived at the Ministry of Rites, he asked Zhang Juzheng to handle Ding Wei's imperial examination, and summoned more than a dozen officials who had already been waiting here.

"Xu Shangshu, the next official is the same examiner recommended by the 'Qi Dang'..."

"The next official is a member of the 'Zhejiang Party', recommending the same examiner..."

"The lower officials belong to the 'Donglin Party'..."

These dozen or so people were fellow examiners recommended by Xu Jierang's various parties.Of course, he and the henchmen of the princeling party accounted for as many as 10 people.

Xu Jie looked at these fellow examiners with satisfaction, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer.

"Very good! Everyone knows the rules, right?" Xu Jie stood with his hands behind his back.

"Everything, follow Master Xu's orders!" The eighteenth room and the examiner said in unison.

"Okay!" Xu Jie said coldly, "You guys should start preparing now."

The eighteenth room and the examiner followed Zhang Juzheng down and began to make various preparations.

Xu Jie looked at the fellow examiners who represented the major forces and followed him, his eyes were full of complacency.

"Yan Song, even if you are the chief examiner and have the emperor's favor, how can it matter? Behind me is the entire bureaucratic gentry group. Countless officials and gentry of the Ming Empire are supporting me. How can you win me?"

Why is Xu Jie so confident?And why can he drive the major parties to work for him?

It all starts with the imperial examination system.

The imperial examination system broke the nine-rank Zhongzheng and family selection system since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, broke the monopoly of the aristocrats on official positions, and opened a door of hope for poor students.But any system has two sides. The children of the rich and powerful families, and the students of the poor, formed the two major factions of the imperial examination.

Among the rich and powerful, there are certainly excellent children who can pass the imperial examination through formal channels to become officials, but in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the powerful families gradually became corrupt and indulged in pleasure, and the quality of the children was not as good as the next generation. , very few.

As a result, imperial examination fraud cases in the Ming Dynasty also emerged endlessly, and it was very serious in the Jiajing period.

A large number of powerful families spared no expense in buying or trading power to ensure that their children can continue to be promoted to scholars, generals and ministers, and to continue the glory and power of the family.

The country's system of selecting scholars has become a shady abyss of power trading, and it has also objectively accelerated the corruption of the empire.

Jiajing saw this, so he did not hesitate to transfer Yan Song back from the Guizhou anti-insurgency battlefield, let him be the chief assistant of the cabinet, but condescended to be the chief examiner, and even sent Lu Bing, the governor of Jinyiwei, to be the proctor!
