The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

He glanced coldly at Ye Daji and the Yangzhou salt merchant, and asked Yan Song, "Yan Aiqing, how do you think these people will be dealt with?"

Yan Song frowned, and said righteously: "Qi Zuo the emperor, this Ye Daji deceives the emperor, and even sells his name for fame, and uses the emperor to gain the reputation of integrity, it is especially hateful!"

Ye Daji collapsed to the ground, but hope still flashed in his eyes.

Because his teacher is Xu Jie.

Although Yan Song is the first assistant, the energy of the second assistant Xu Jie should not be underestimated. As long as he does not die this time, Teacher Xu Jie will naturally find a way to rescue him.

The reason why Ye Daji was so sure was because Xu Jie was the spokesperson and umbrella of the great salt merchants in the imperial court.Xu Jie is from Huating, Zhejiang Province, not far from Yangzhou. The salt merchants in Yangzhou have already spread a lot of money through various relationships, and have made good friends with Xu Jie's two sons and Xu's hometown. Even if Xu Jie doesn't look at him as a student In order to save face, the interests of salt merchants should also be secretly protected.

A murderous look flashed in Jiajing's eyes.

What he hates the most are those who bully the king and treat him like a monkey.

"But..." A smirk flashed in Yan Song's eyes, pretending to be troubled, and said in a deep voice: "This Ye Daji is a student of Xu Jie, the second assistant of the cabinet. The chief examiner for this year is none other than Xu Jie Cifu. For the sake of Cisuke's decency, should I raise my hand a little bit and extend grace?"

This is why Yan Song is not authentic.

Originally, Jiajing's hatred was only concentrated on Ye Daji alone, Yan Song insisted on linking him with his future political enemy Xu Jie, and let Xu Jie lay the gun.

Historically, Xu Jie was promoted by flattering Yan Song, and then tricked Yan Song to die after the promotion. In the end, he didn't even let Yan Song off after he resigned, leaving the old Yan Song (ajbb) to die in poverty. No relatives, only a dog.

Yan Song's words were naturally based on retreat. The more he said this, the more Jiajing would not let Xu Jie go.

Coincidentally, just now Ye Daji specifically mentioned his teacher Xu Jie, who wanted to follow Xu Jie's path, speak for the salt merchants, and lower the tax rate.

Sure enough, Jiajing's eyes turned red, and he said viciously, "Xu Jie's decency or my decency, which one is more important? Yan Aiqing, you should write a letter immediately, tell Xu Jie about this, and severely reprimand Xu Jie! Ask Xu Jie carefully. , What is his relationship with these rich businessmen? Why speak for these rich businessmen? Be their umbrella!"

He snorted coldly: "Tell him, if he dares to use my country to be a good person, he will not be a minister!"

Yan Song achieved his goal, with a sad face on the surface, but joy in his heart.

(Xu Jie, who is far away in the capital, vomits blood, Yan Song, you are harmful! Ye Daji, you are a student of the teacher!)

Jiajing's anger was not over yet, and he said coldly: "Ye Daji deceived the emperor and obtained his name. The crime is unforgivable. He wore Jinyi Weidong Factory and interrogated him strictly. The prefect of Yangzhou has an important position. Yan Aiqing, you appoint a candidate." , succeeding Ye Daji."

Originally, Ye Daji, as the magistrate of the fourth rank, should be handed over to the third division for interrogation, conviction and punishment, but because of Xu Jie's relationship, Jiajing doesn't trust the third division anymore, and he directly asked Dongchang Jinyiwei to interrogate, which shows how much he hates Ye Big machine.

Ye Daji passed out and was dragged away by Huang Jin's orders.

Yan Song laughed in his heart, the magistrate of Yangzhou is a big vacancy, controlled by Xu Jie's party, and now he has nothing to lose, so he got it.

It gave Jiajing the impression that "Yangzhou's prosperity is very important, and Yan Aiqing is reliable". In the future, Xu Jie and others will not be able to get involved in this three-acre land in Yangzhou, because it will be controlled by Yan Song's party.

Jiajing was thunderous, dealt with Ye Daji, and looked coldly at the big salt and sea merchants who flaunted their wealth + mocked themselves.

"Didn't you say that you would rather smash Yangzhou into rags than let me see it?" Jiajing said coldly, "Then I will do what you wish and make your house into rags! Yan Aiqing!"

Yan Song: "Yes"

"These guys who insult the emperor and are rich and unkind, all ransacked their homes!"

Jiajing smiled very sinisterly: "Let their house be turned into rags"

Does Yan Song know how rich these big salt merchants are.

. .

Chapter 211 Sealing the Crown Prince and Taibao [5]

These big businessmen in Yangzhou can be said to have a certain relationship with Xu Jie.

For Xu Jie's secret preparations, go through the needles, cultivate officials and influence, so that one day, Xu Jie will favor them in terms of policy.

Of course, the big salt merchants also approached Yan Song, hoping that Yan Song could become their spokesperson, on the condition that the tax rate be reduced to [-] tax one.But Yan Song considered that the tax burden of the Ming Dynasty was extremely unreasonable, and these big salt merchants were obviously rich and unkind, so they did not agree.

Xu Jie agreed to be their spokesperson, and the two sides colluded together.

This time Yan Song guided Emperor Jiajing to recognize the true colors of these big salt merchants as rich and unkind, which made the emperor hate the big salt merchants and wanted to eradicate them in one fell swoop.

Emperor Jiajing glared at the big salt merchants viciously, and said lightly: "I want you to know who is the biggest sky in the Ming Dynasty! Yan Aiqing, copy their homes for me!"

Yan Song sweated secretly: The emperor's self-esteem was severely damaged, what a resentment.

"Yes!"

Jiajing winked at Yan Song, which means you understand.

Yan Song knew that Jiajing was poor and crazy, and the treasury could starve to death mice.These big salt merchants with an annual income of 200 million are fat and oily.Emperor Jiajing was so cruel that all his homes were ransacked. On the one hand, he was scolded too badly and his self-esteem was hurt by contempt. On the other hand, he was really poor and crazy, and took the opportunity to make money.

Jiajing asked Yan Song to give him more filial piety.Otherwise, this fat job would not fall on Yan Song's head.

Yan Song nodded and smiled.

The big salt merchants passed out one by one.

But the big merchants complained bitterly one by one: "Your Majesty, Ye Daji and Zhang Fuqiang are deserving of death for deceiving the Emperor and mocking the Emperor, but we don't have it."

Jiajing also pondered.

Although he was decisive in killing, he didn't want to lose the notoriety of the emperor who copied his family.These big merchants are not big salt merchants, what should we do?

But the reason why Yan Song racked his brains to bring Emperor Jiajing to come, of course, was to wipe out all these maritime alliances and uproot them.

With the vested interest groups of these big merchants and big salt merchants controlling, the southeast coast is monolithic, and Yan Song's business ideas and grand ambitions are difficult to realize.

Don’t look at Yan Song as the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, who is under one person and over ten thousand people, but these big salt merchants and sea merchants are really wealthy, with deep foundations, and their families are intertwined. Officials, scholars, and businessmen control the south of the Yangtze River The politics, economy, and culture of a country can affect the whole body, just like a centipede that is dead but not stiff.Without Jiajing's power support, even Yan Song could not easily move them as a whole.
