The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

If both Jingcha + Waicha are captured by Gao Gong, that would be a real disaster.

Before Yan Song could speak, he heard someone report: "Ministry of Rites, Minister Li Chunfang is here to worship."

"Yes." Yan Song smiled slightly: "They all belong to the rabbit. When the wind came, they were so frightened that they couldn't sit still."

Li Chunfang came in with a dejected face, and complained to Yan Song: "Old Yan Ge, you have to help me this time. Gao Gong and I have never dealt with each other, and I pushed him away from the Ministry of Rites. Mastering the power of Jingcha, this old man will be miserable!"

"??" Yan Song had a black face with a question mark on his face: "Jingcha, it seems that you can't find more than two grades, right?"

The Jingcha also has a scope. The inspection by the Ministry of Officials is valid for officials below the third rank and above the sixth rank, and it does not care about the officials of the second rank such as the Liubu Shangshu.

(It is said that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is a second-rank official. If he can inspect officials of the first-rank official, it is a joke)

The inspections of first-rank and second-rank officials are organized by the higher-ranking cabinet. Every winter, a report on their duties is held, and the cabinet discusses collectively, and then submits it to the emperor.

Li Chunfang said with a mournful face: "Although the tall bearded man really doesn't care about the old man, the old man has a large number of former disciples, and they are all under investigation. The tall bearded man has already said that he wants to drive out all the old man's disciples, so that I, the prime minister of Qingci, can become a successor." Polish commander. 555, Mr. Yan Ge, you must help me..."

Yan Song couldn't help laughing.

Indeed, Gao Gong had no choice but to rank higher than Li Chunfang, Minister of Rites, who was one rank higher in the court, but the so-called three stakes for one fence, and three gangs for one hero, the court officials can be domineering and exert influence on the court. Relying on old students and student parties.

To use an analogy, the big bosses of the imperial court are the trunks and roots that take root in the earth, and the old disciples are the branches and leaves that decorate the facade and increase the momentum.

Once these branches and leaves were all chopped off by Tall Beard, leaving Li Chunfang with only a bare trunk and a bare commander, how could Li Chunfang gain a foothold in the court?How to join the cabinet?

Among other things, without the filial ice and carbon respect from students and old friends, it would be a problem just to eat for the whole family.

Just as Yan Song was about to comfort Li Chunfang, Di Renjie, the new Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, also came with Li Yuanfang.

"Are you here for the market today?" Yan Song smiled.

··········

Di Renjie sighed: "Mr. Yan Ge, the new official in this mansion has just taken office, and before he started a fire, Gao Gong, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials next door, set the fire on me. He said that in the case of the Three Palaces, my Ministry of Punishment behaved in the same way. It’s so bad, the corpse is a vegetarian meal, and it’s going to be the focus of the Jingchao, and it’s threatened to cut at least 4% of the officials. My punishment department is in panic, and I have no mood to work.”

Yan Song frowned.

Gao Gong, this appetite is not small.

From the Jin Party to the Ministry of Rites, and then to the Ministry of Industry, he would kick the tree three times for all his powers, and insert a slap in the face. Is this the rhythm of a full-scale declaration of war?

Li Yuanfang added: "Mr. Yan Ge, I have received news that the officials of the Ministry of Punishment are panicking, and they have found Gao Gong's mansion one after another, secretly giving gifts, or asking for help in various ways, and taking the route of the princelings. Now the princelings are recruiting People, to win over people from the Ministry of Punishment. Gao Gong also cooperated with the air, saying that if he joins the princeling party, he can get the benefits of high-level evaluation and promotion in this Beijing inspection. Half of the officials in the Ministry of Punishment I took refuge in the past, and the rest are looking for ways around."

.......

"Touch!" Yan Song slapped the table with a solemn face.

"Damn it! Gao Suqing said that he was ruthless and selfless, but he never expected that he would use the power so blatantly to seek personal interests for the prince, completely ignoring the fairness and justice of the court!" Yan Song was very angry: "If the princelings are allowed to If this kind of trick succeeds, the atmosphere of the court will be greatly damaged."

Yan Song was really angry.

The imperial court is the heart and brain of the Ming Empire. In order to establish a good atmosphere for the imperial court to do business, Yan Song spent countless efforts.

But the princelings don't care about it. They don't care about the great cause of the court, fairness and justice.In their eyes, there are only two words: "party struggle"!

"What Yan Ge said is true. The princelings only control the power of the Jingcha, so they act recklessly. If the prince becomes the throne, then it's okay? Don't the world be in chaos? How can they be proud?" Yang Bo this time He also has a clear-cut stand and stands on Yan Song's side.

Chapter 1269 Yan Song's Confidence [6]

Li Chunfang shouted: "That's right! Mr. Yan Ge, give the order. Fight against them!"

"It's unwise to fight against it." Yan Song said lightly: "Jingcha is the power that the emperor gave to Gao Gong. I guess the emperor will also take this opportunity to inspect Gao Gong's ability to govern. In the future, he may not have to be included. The meaning of the court. It's just that he failed the holy grace and abused it."

"Gao Gong? Investigation? Entering the cabinet?" Yang Bo and Li Chunfang were stunned.

"Yes." Yan Song said lightly: "Mr. Xu Ge has already passed the retirement age and is not in good health. He has already submitted his resignation twice. Although the emperor rejected them all, it may not be that he is not investigating the next wave of candidates for the cabinet. .”

Yang Bo suddenly realized: "That's right. Mr. Zhang Bi and Mr. Zhang Ge died in battle last year. If Mr. Xu Zan Xu also retires, then only you, me and Shen Shixing will be left in the "3" cabinet. According to the rules, the cabinet should It consists of 7-5 people, but usually 7-[-] people. The number of elders in the cabinet is too small to be busy. The emperor wants to examine the candidates for the cabinet and join the cabinet in advance."

Li Chunfang's heart turned cold: "Then, does the emperor intend to let Gao Gong enter the cabinet?"

Gao Gong is a typical Shandong man, talented and aggressive, but he also has a problem, that is, he has a straight temper and scolds people when he disagrees with him.When you scold someone, you don't give the other party face at all, it will definitely make you feel miserable, doubt life, and lose face as a human being.

Li Chunfang's personality is exactly the opposite of Gao Gong's.He was nicknamed Prime Minister Qing Ci, and he belonged to the kind with a smile on his face and MMP in his heart.But he doesn't have Xu Jie's bad intentions, and he likes to be a peacemaker.

Gao Gong and Li Chunfang were both ministers of the Ministry of Rites in the past, and now they are both Ministers of the Six Departments, and they have always been colleagues.But when the two are together, the daily conversations are very harmonious, intimate and harmonious, and the rhythm is like this.

Gao Gong: "Li Chunfang, did you finish the XXX thing I asked you to do last time?"

Li Chunfang had a black line: "Gao Shilang, we are both servants, why do you dictate to me, and why should I listen to you?"

Gao Gong got angry, and started cursing: "Fuck you X&#!~~~OO! Turn around and tell the prince, let the prince take care of you!"

Li Chunfang was full of grievances, and the young daughter-in-law dared not speak out when she was offended.

You think, the relationship between the two is so close and harmonious, now that Li Chunfang heard Yan Song say that the emperor gave Gao Gong the power of Jingcha to promote and reuse the previous inspection, wouldn't Li Chunfang feel cold?

Li Chunfang said dejectedly: "If the tall bearded man enters the cabinet, I, Li Chunfang, will retire immediately and return to my hometown immediately! Save him humiliating and insulting me."

Yan Song said with a faint smile: "But it is said that if you don't die, you won't die. After Xu Jie's death, Gao Gong, as the number one princeling, had a bright future. However, the princelings are short-sighted and short-sighted. They only see a little sesame benefit in front of them, but let Gao Gong get a bad name. These things are going to be ruined."

"What? The emperor still intends to cultivate Gao Gong as the future chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty?"

Yang Bo was taken aback.

He has been staring at Yan Song's position, and wants to succeed Yan Song as the chief assistant.
