Chapter 39 The Battle of the Examiners [3]

Yang Tinghe took the lead: "The minister recommended Li Sancai, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, who was born as a jinshi. He has been the head of the official household department, the chief of Shandong's office, and the Henan councilor. He has performed well in the inspections over the years. You can choose."

Li Sancai, a member of Donglin's party, can also be regarded as the number two person.As for Shen Shixing, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, I'm sorry, he is from Jiangsu, not a Donglin party, so Yang Tinghe directly ignored it.

Then, of course, the parties began to stand up and recommend their candidates one after another.

Yan Song frowned, these parties were outrageous.Looking at Jiajing, I saw that his face was flat, as if it was nothing, but when Yan Song passed by with a mind-reading technique, he only heard Jiajing think: [These ministers, all of them are thinking of forming a party for personal gain, how can I make them happy? 】

Yan Song smiled, it seemed that Jiajing was prepared.

The candidates who can serve as the chief examiner of the examination are relatively high, not only must they be a jinshi, but also have a third-rank or above position, and they must have 'high morality' and qualifications, so there are not many people who meet the standards.

Soon, all parties and six ministries elected their favorite candidates. There was no Shen Shixing, and Shen Shixing was sufficient in all aspects, but no one gave him a push.

Yan Song wanted to push him, but when he saw that all the people at the scene were people of party affiliation, Yan Song smiled slightly and knew what to do.Since they are all partisan, Jiajing will definitely be dissatisfied, and will definitely choose a non-partisan person. At that time, Shen Shixing will definitely be on the list, and then he will just have to push it.

After discussing for about half an hour, the nomination list of the chief examiner was temporarily confirmed.

However, Emperor Jiajing suppressed these people first, and it is uncertain for the time being, and we will discuss it tomorrow.

At this time, Yan Song got an idea from Jiajing from mind reading and was surprised.

Jiajing: [Hmph, keep these lists for now, I'm sure there will be a lot of people impeached tomorrow, when that time comes, I'll find an opportunity to depose one or two. 】

Yan Song was really shocked, this Jiajing is really insidious, and he is always looking for ways to weaken these parties.

A meeting just passed by.

Yan Song returned to the cabinet to handle affairs.

Among them, the memorial that attracted Yan Song's attention was that of Bao Heizi. Bao Heizi went to Huguang and beheaded a sixth-rank official. He described the case in detail in the memorial. Yan Song trusted Bao Heizi's ability to handle the case, so he directly gave his instructions. Then, after seeing a lot of impeachment bag Heizi's memorials for covering up criminals and framing officials, Yan Song sneered directly, and directly suppressed it from Jiajing.

It is so insidious, no matter how wronged you are, I just won't let the emperor know about your grievance, and I will be mad at you.

The other two elders, Xu Zan responded, and would not object. Zhang Bi didn't come today on sick leave, so it was Yan Song who spoke again.

In the evening, when Yan Song was working in the cabinet, Feng Bao, the little eunuch beside the emperor, came.

"Old Yan Ge, the emperor has a request..."

"What is the emperor looking for from me?" Yan Song was curious. Generally speaking, unless there is a major event at night, it is impossible for a lazy person from Jiajing to announce him.

"I don't know if it's small, but it seems to be related to the exam..." Under Yan Song's surrender and the silver bullet offensive, Feng Bao can be said to have a very close attitude towards Yan Song, and Yan Song is different from other literati. These people with physical defects did not reject or dislike them at all, but they had a normal attitude, which made them more sensitive because they lacked things. Eunuchs felt very comfortable.

"Can you try?" When Yan Song heard this, he knew something in his heart.

Soon he came to the emperor's imperial study, where red charcoal was burning, warm as spring.

This kind of charcoal is warm and resistant to burning, gray and not explosive, and has less smoke, and with a warm fragrance, it belongs to the most advanced charcoal.And Yan Song's home burned, the grade is a little worse, but it's not much different, but it costs a lot of money.

"See Your Majesty." Yan Song saluted.

"Yan Aiqing is here, take a seat." Jiajing motioned while holding the memorial, Feng Bao moved the stool very cleverly.

Yan Song sat down: "Your Majesty is looking for Wei Chen, why?"

"Today's court meeting, what do you think of Yan Aiqing's discussion of the exam?" Jiajing looked at Yan Song with a smile, but Yan Song already knew what he was thinking through mind reading, so he naturally dealt with it easily.

"Back to the emperor, I thought that Li Sancai, etc., should not be the president, but the vice president. The president must uphold impartiality and impartiality. Chen feels that among the people elected today, the world is not suitable."

Jiajing smiled.

However, Yan Song read out what Jiajing was thinking: [Yan Aiqing really knows what I want, otherwise the examiner will be selected by Yan Aiqing, by the way, let's see if Yan Aiqing is like other parties. 】

Yan Song said in his heart: [As expected of Jiajing who overthrew the cabinet with his strategy when he was a teenager, it's really insidious. 】

Jiajing: "I wonder if Yan Aiqing has a choice?"

Yan Song said in embarrassment: "Three years ago in the meeting, the minister did not know Chen Shimei without his eyes, which made the princess embarrassed. This time, the minister did not dare to talk nonsense."

Jiajing: "No problem, I believe in Yan Aiqing's character. If Yan Aiqing has a choice, you can recommend it to me."

Yan Song thought for a while, and ordered a few casual officials with no party affiliation, and Shen Shixing was mixed in.

The next day, before Jiajing went to court, Yan Song really received a bunch of impeachment memorials for those candidates.

Yan Song also saw an old man in his 60s who was impeached for saying that he would disturb the neighbors every night and have a very bad influence on the court. Yan Song almost didn't laugh when he saw it.

Sure enough, fighting for the sake of fighting, not fighting for things.

This time, Yan Song did not press the memorial, but directly classified them all, labeled them, and asked the eunuch to send them to the imperial study.

Presumably Jiajing likes to read this kind of memorial very much.

Sure enough, on this day, Jiajing rarely postponed his 'cultivation' and set aside time to read the memorials. Of course, he was comfortable with Yan Song's work, expressed his appreciation, and rewarded him with a lot of things.

Chapter 40 - The Man of the Pot - Yan Song [4]

Three days later, I went to the court again and restarted the discussion on the candidate of the main examiner of the general examination. I was very happy with several parties, but Jiajing directly rejected it, which made these parties look confused.

Then, Jiajing picked out a few of the impeachment memorials and said in public that Li Sancai and the others looked like fools.

Soon, they were each fined their salaries, and some were even transferred from their positions, which were slightly reduced.

In the end, Jiajing decided that the main examiner was Shen Shixing, but there were no people from the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party, Donglin Party and Jin Party among the deputy examiners.
