The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

Seeing Yan Song's resolute retreat, Jiajing couldn't bear it even more, and said earnestly: "Yan Aiqing, do you blame me for not being affectionate? The Tianjin Kaihai Minister is none other than you!"

The ministers were dumbfounded when they heard it.

The prince thought: "Damn! The tricks of strict thieves are too deep..."

Xu Jie: "Damn it, retreat is the way to advance! Yan Song is playing brilliantly!"

Yang Bo: "When did the emperor speak so well to me? That's Yan Song!"

The ministers: "...Your Majesty, you have never been so kind to us! Partial!"

Yan Song smiled without saying a word, and shook his head resolutely.

There were two reasons why he was so determined to back down.

One is to avoid shocking the master with high power.The reason why Yan Song was able to win Jiajing's favor was mainly because he was congenial, which made Jiajing feel satisfied and at ease.Yan Song thought about leaving Beijing for too long, and it would be easy for the prince to take advantage of it. It is better to come back sooner.

The second is to create opportunities for promotion for the people you fancy!

That's right.

No matter how powerful a person is, his time and energy are limited.

If Yan Song wants to control the Ming Dynasty, he cannot rely on one person to fight alone.

He needs to cultivate talents, network talents, to put it bluntly is to form a party!

Tianjin, right now, is a hen that is about to lay golden eggs. Even if a pig sits on the positions of Minister of Kaihai and Shipbuilding, it can be promoted within a year or two!

This credit is of no use to Yan Song.

His ability has long been recognized by Jiajing and the ruling and opposition parties, and his position has already been promoted to the point where there is no promotion and no reward.No matter how great the credit is, it will only shock the master.

But for those young people who are in urgent need of promotion, this qualification is a gilded promotion amulet!

Yan Song's wishful thinking was very loud.

Instead of continuing to make great achievements in Tianjin, it is better to take the initiative to retreat and make progress by retreating, making Jiajing feel guilty, and let Jiajing nominate a new secretary of the city, as well as deputy promotions and others.

Tianjin is about to open the sea, and all the people in Shibosi can be promoted!

They will also gain political achievements and experience, and become Yan Song's right-hand man in governing Daming in the future.

"Since Yan Aiqing, you have decided to resign." Jiajing praised, "Then who can be the successor?"

The prince was in a hurry, and hurriedly came out and said: "Father! The Minister of Kaihai in Tianjin has a position above the fourth rank and needs to be pushed by the court! Don't mess up the order."

His wishful thinking is to compare beans with Yan Song.

During Yan Song's departure from Beijing, the prince worked hard and recruited many ministers and servants, hoping to compete with beans again and avenge the "red bean porridge" last time.

Xu Jie was also full of hatred and said: "Your Majesty, what the crown prince said is absolutely true."

Jiajing was in a dilemma for a while.

He did intend to use the power arranged by Tianjin's successor to compensate Yan Song's injured heart, but what the prince said was right.Minister Kaihai is a senior official of the second rank.According to the rules, it is necessary to be promoted by the court, and it is not easy for the emperor to appoint directly.

He looked at Yan Song.

Yan Song said slowly: "The minister thinks that the reason why the imperial court set up the Minister of Opening the Sea is because Tianjin Wei is just a small county with a lot of waste waiting to be done, and the project to open the sea is huge. It is necessary to appoint a high-ranking official, and even send a senior member of the cabinet to take command .It is an expedient measure set up according to the time and circumstances.”

Everyone nodded.Indeed, the Minister of Kaihai is such a position.

"But now" Yan Song changed the subject, met the prince's murderous eyes, smiled slightly and said, "Tianjin's construction has been basically completed and is on the right track. It only needs the city ship department to operate normally. There is no need for the Minister of Kaihai." Set up again. That is to say."

He chuckled: "My lord, please boldly ask the emperor to revoke the position of Tianjin Kaihai Minister and upgrade Tianjin Wei to Tianjin Prefecture. Tianjin Prefecture has a magistrate, and the official position is five grades. The power of Kaihai Minister is divided into two, and divided into two. The Shibo Division of the fifth rank and the Tianjin prefect of the fifth rank. The Shibo Division is in charge of foreign trade and the collection of tariffs, and the Tianjin government is in charge of Tianjin's local affairs and military and political power. In this way, there will be no worries."

When Jiajing heard this, Yan Song not only proposed to revoke the post of Minister of Kaihai, but also offered to divide the power into two, completely cutting off the hidden dangers in Tianjin. He couldn't help liking Yan Song even more, and nodded repeatedly: "Everything is according to what Yan Aiqing said. .However, what the prince said needs to be pushed by the court, so?"

As he talked, he suddenly realized, pointed at Yan Song and smiled: "What a cunning Yan Aiqing! Ting Tui is only needed by officials above the fourth rank. If you do this, no matter if it is the prefect of Tianjin or the Shibo Secretary There is no need for a court recommendation, the cabinet can report to me and directly appoint me!"

Hearing Yan Song's plausible arrangement, the crown prince and Xu Jie looked at each other dully.

Yan thief, you can play 666 routines!

You and the emperor discussed in front of us how to bypass the court and directly appoint Tianjin's successor?

Do you think we don't exist?

Yang Bo, Shen Shixing, and Xu Zan all laughed.

This Yan Song really knows how to play.

The civil and military officials of the imperial court have complex expressions.

Some were laughing, some were in a daze, and some were angry.

This Yan Song is really good at making things happen.

You know, all factions in the imperial court are all staring at the big fat piece of Tianjin.

They have already been in private, secretly PY transactions again and again, and have discussed the candidates for the Minister of Kaihai, the Secretary of Shibo, and the deputy. They are waiting for the crown prince to drive Yan Song down, and then rush forward to share the fruits of victory!

Don't talk about hard work, in the eyes of these bigwigs in the court, only (Qian Haozhao) can do it, there is no right or wrong!

The credits are all stolen, and the scapegoats are all pushed out.

But Nima Yansong was full of arrogance in front of them, openly discussing with Jiajing how to divide power, bypassing the court's push, and completely turning the PY agreement they had reached a long time ago into a dead letter!
