The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Having said that, Jiajing was moved: Yes, no matter how good this palace is, it can’t be better than the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Palace. He has lived in Jiajing for more than [-] years and is tired of living here, so why not change to the fresh and interesting gardens in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Yan Aiqing is right." Jiajing agreed.

However, Li Sancai questioned loudly: "Mr. Yan Ge, this is not appropriate. The gardens in the south of the Yangtze River are all private lands. If your Majesty forcibly enters them, wouldn't it be to seize the people's wealth? I am afraid it is against the principles of Confucius and Mencius."

When Jiajing heard it, it was indeed the truth.Although the emperor was dishonest, he was still lame by the way of Confucius and Mencius.

Yan Song was already stunned by these ancients' teachings of Confucius and Mencius: "Li Shilang's words are wrong. If His Majesty wants to live in, it is their honor. Those people are very rich, and in order to win His Majesty's qualifications, these people The rich may still compete with each other, and even invite His Majesty to come to pay for the money."

To live in someone else's house and ask others to pay you back money is indeed absurd from the perspective of Confucius and Mencius, but it is natural from the perspective of a market economy.

Emperor Jiajing suddenly realized that he was the emperor, and they must have accumulated virtue in eight lifetimes living in their mansion, wouldn't they be grateful?

"Furthermore, your Majesty, during your southern tour, all kinds of purchases will also increase the income of the people and benefit the country and the people. If this is the case, how can it waste the people and waste money? So the reason you said is just a joke."

Jiajing laughed loudly: "Good! Good! What Yan Aiqing said is right. Why do you obstruct such a good deed? Are you really trying to cover up something?"

Jiajing glanced at the ministers coldly: "Or...someone intends to rebel? Don't want me to tour the south?"

Li Sancai was dripping with cold sweat immediately, and knelt down in panic: "I don't dare, I don't have any opinions!"

At this time, Zhang Bi, the elder of the pavilion, stood up: "I feel that your majesty's southern tour is a good thing, and I support it!"

Others bowed down one after another: "I have no objection!"

If you stop him again, Jiajing may directly charge him with treason.

In this way, under Jiajing's barbaric coercion, the ministers dared not speak any more.

However, there are also some small officials who are excited, that is, the princelings, including the prince's teachers, eunuchs, and staff... The Jiajing Southern Tour naturally wants the prince to supervise the country.The last time when Duan Chaoyong bewitched the emperor, Jiajing capriciously said that he would rest for a year or two and let the ajed prince oversee the country, but Duan Chaoyong was exposed by Yan Song before the prince was happy, causing the prince to be white I was so happy, now I have another chance.

Among them, Gao Gong, the teacher of the prince, is currently serving as a lecturer in the Imperial Academy. He has been the teacher of the prince for nine years.King Yu learned a lot.The two established a deep relationship between princes and ministers, teachers and students.

At this moment, Gao Gong was trembling with excitement.

The opportunity is coming!

Here's my high chance!

The subsequent court meeting was about some matters concerning the crown prince supervising the country, as well as the arrangements for the southern tour.It wasn't until noon that the morning court was over, and the officials were already so hungry that their stomachs stuck to their backs.

After the court meeting ended, all the officials left.

On the way, Gao Gong became a fragrant bun, which was celebrated by many officials.

"Master Gao, do you have time tonight? Have a drink and talk about poetry?"

"Master Gao, there is an authentic painting of a saint in my house, can you come and taste it together?"

The excuses used by these officials to curry favor are quite artistic.

Gao Gong entertained enthusiastically, his heart was already flying with joy, and he wished he could put on his wings and look for the prince immediately.

……

……

Prince's Mansion.

The prince Zhu Zaihou is the third son of Jiajing, his mother is Concubine Dukang. Because his mother Concubine Dukang fell out of favor and he is not the eldest son, he seldom gets his father's love. Everyone cares about the world.

When Gao Gong returned to the prince's mansion and told the news to the prince Zhu Zaihou (hòu), Zhu Zaihou was overjoyed.

"Thank you, Master Gao, for your hard work and teaching over the past few years. Zaihou will definitely be kind to Teacher Gao in the future!"

What Zhu Zaihou said was sincere. He had been the prince for several years, and now he has finally stepped into the step of supervising the country.

Gao Gong's eyes were hot, and he was moved: "This is what a humble official should do!"

Zhu Zaihou said: "Teacher, can you trust me and tell me what happened in the early court?"

Gao Gong nodded, and explained the process of the court meeting in detail.

After Zhu Zaihou listened, he pondered for a moment, and said, "I never thought that Mr. Yan Ge would be so shrewd, and he would find such a way that I couldn't even think of..."

Gao Gong: "That's right, Mr. Yan Ge is extraordinary, we should try not to have any grudges with him."

Zhu Zaihou nodded: "Okay, this time the king was able to supervise the country successfully, thanks to Mr. Yan Ge's contribution, so let's write off the thing that caused the king to lose the opportunity to supervise the country last time."

Gao Gong was satisfied. Based on his understanding of the prince and the prince's character, it might be really easy to get along with a corrupt official like Yan Song.

Fortunately, the prince knows the severity.

. .

Chapter 183 Jiajing reads "On Sea Power" [4]

Yan House.

Yan Song felt that after the southern tour, there would be an open sea ban, and a large number of manpower would be needed at that time, so he began to systematically draw characters.

"Ding... start the 10-level extraction, and the extraction direction [Literati and Characters]...~..."

“叮……提示：10万级别文人人物抽取的对象分别有：童生30名、秀才25名、举人20名、进士15名，官员10名-……”

"Ding... the draw was successful, and I got 20 candidates..."

Yan Song is not satisfied, what's the use of raising people?The next Chunwei exam will be two and a half years away, even if you are an official at the beginning, you can only be at the ninth rank, and it is difficult to promote, which is of no use to Yan Song.
