Chapter 424 423 Play Wushan again

The news of the blessing of God and warning Emperor Jiajing that the bandits in Fujian gradually spread among the people.

For this reason, Emperor Jiajing summoned Yang Bo, the Minister of War, to inquire about Fujian's strategy to suppress the bandits.

Because the task of extermination of Fujian's rebels had been handed over to the Governor Hu Zongxian, the governor of the Japanese suppression, Yang Bo did not propose a specific plan in front of Emperor Jiajing, but was waiting for the report from Hu Zongxian in Zhejiang.

Emperor Jiajing was actually not very concerned about Zhang Lian. If the alchemists had not claimed that this celestial phenomena might be related to the Fujian rebellion, Emperor Jiajing would have just thrown them to the court officials to deal with them.

Now that I heard Yang Bo’s answer, I thought about it, I just issued an order and I didn’t have long been suppressing the thieves for Hu Zongxian. If I take back the order immediately, it would seem like a bit of a joke in handling the government.

As King Jing left Beijing, the errands of the Ministry of Rites temporarily relaxed.

However, when Wu Shan sent a memorial to the cabinet again, all the ministers in the court were upset.

What Wu Shan reported was naturally about solar eclipse, and he still insisted on maintaining the ancestral system and rescued the eclipse. Your Majesty should also implement the ancestral system according to the ancestral system.

The last time Wushan made the memorial, Emperor Jiajing was very dissatisfied. Although after Li Donghua impeached Wushan, Wushan had no time to avoid suspicion and went home, Xiyuan criticized the memorial red. The punishment for Wushan was very light, and it seemed that

Just a warning.

Doesn’t Wu Shan know how powerful it is?

Of course not.

This time, Wu Shan was prompted to come to the book again to mention the solar eclipse. He also felt that he could not stand it anymore, and even felt that the court was full of frivolous people and flattering people.

A few days ago, all his attention was transferred to the King of Jing's vassal ceremony, and he did not notice any news about the inner court.

Emperor Jiajing wrote a thank-you note on the grounds of being favored by God and worshipped it in the Great Light Hall in the West Garden.

Yan Shifan thought that before, Emperor Jiajing had told the cabinet and ordered all officials to congratulate him. He immediately organized Yanshi officials to submit congratulations. These congratulations were accepted by Emperor Jiajing calmly.

After seeing the wishes of Emperor Jiajing, the other ministers in the court could take care of the rest of the court, so they also submitted a letter to congratulate the emperor for being favored by heaven.

Congratulations to the originally suspicious "will not eat" that was severely denounced by Chengzu and Yingzong's polite rejection was held in an open place here in Shizong. Wu Shan, who was the Minister of Rites, could tolerate it.

During the reign of Emperor Yingzong of Chengzu, officials had proposed to celebrate "will not eat" because of low-covering solar and lunar eclipses or solar and lunar eclipses that could not be observed due to weather reasons, but they were rejected by the emperor at that time.

On the contrary, they all acted according to the rescue etiquette, wearing simple clothes, not obeying the main hall, or practicing affairs in the side hall.

When he was the Minister of Rites, he had a solar eclipse but was celebrating because of the so-called "will not eat". Wu Shan couldn't swallow this breath no matter what.

This solar eclipse was not predicted in time before the Imperial Heaven Supervision Bureau, which caused the Ministry of Rites to complete the arrangement of the rescue ceremony. Only officials of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly bowed to the sun under the leadership of Wu Shan, which made him, the Minister of Rites, feel blank.

According to the requirements of the Ming Huidian, the Ming Dynasty's rescue ceremony for solar and lunar eclipses was very detailed.

"In the early stage, the color was tied at the ritual gate and the main hall of the ritual office. The incense table was set on the terrace facing the sun. The golden drum was set on both sides of the ritual gate, and the musician was set on the terrace. The officials were held on the terrace and all the officials were facing Hitachi.

The officials of the Imperial Heavenly Prison reported the first day of the day. All officials had court uniforms. The sang the ranks of the Dianyi sang and bowed. The music was written, the four bows, the cheers were held, and the music stopped, and the kneeled. The deacon held the drums to the head of the class, and the head of the class was held.

The drum beats three times, and the drums are heard. Wait for the Emperor's Office to retaliate, praise the etiquette and sing and bow. The music is performed, the four bows are flat, and the music is stopped and the etiquette is completed.

The lunar eclipse was the same as before, but all officials had green clothes and horns, and were rescued from the Governor's Office of the Central Army."

Although most civil officials understood the meaning of Wu Shan’s memorial, they were worried about Wu Shan’s behavior. No one knew whether Emperor Jiajing would be angry because of this, especially Li Ke who had been warned before.

During the incident, Li Donghua.

Thinking of the previous warning, Li Donghua didn't know whether he should impeach Wu Shan again.

It was originally something that could make the emperor happy, but Wu Shan insisted on causing unhappiness, and anyone would be dissatisfied with it.

But Li Donghua thought about it and was a little confused, so he simply got up and left the duty room to go to the cabinet to ask.

He was also feeling like he was sitting in the duty room, so he might as well go out to find out the downward trend.

After leaving the Youshun Gate, crossing Fengtianmen Square is Zuoshun Gate, and inside is where the cabinet is located.

When he walked outside Zuoshun's door, he happened to see a fat man wearing a big red robe with a peacock patch on his chest walking out of it.

Of course, Li Donghua recognized who the person was, and hurriedly saluted respectfully and said, "I have met Mr. Yan."

"Hey, it's you."

The person who came was naturally Yan Shifan. Looking at the person who bowed in front of him, he recognized him as Li Donghua, the director of the Ministry of Liquor.

He looked up and down at Li Donghua's eyes and said with a smile: "Are you looking for my father or Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu is not here today. Can you tell me if you have anything to do?"

Nowadays, although Yan Shifan has not entered the cabinet, he still does the job of a cabinet minister. However, the signature can only be in the name of Yan Song, which is also permitted by Emperor Jiajing.

In this way, Yan Song's political life was prolonged.

Yan Song is almost eighty years old and has long been ineffective. He often has poor thoughts when dealing with government affairs alone. It depends entirely on Yan Shifan's planning. This is also a thing that is well known in the court today, so Li Donghua listened to Yan Shifan's inquiry.

It's not surprising.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Donghua still said to Yan Shifan: "Sir Yan, I want to ask the Master of the Pavilion and what should I do about my etiquette for the report of Shangshu Wu."

"Oh, this matter."

Yan Shifan understood after hearing this, but when he thought it was Wu Shan's affairs, he couldn't help but feel hatred in his heart.

Wushan, whose courtesy name is Jing and his pseudonym Yunquan, was from Gao'an, Jiangxi, and Yan Song was from Yuanzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi, and was both a fellow villager. In Yan Shifan's view, taking care of each other should be a matter of course.

Wu Shan did not want to have too much contact with the Yan family, and Yan Shifan could understand it. Literati had this problem and loved to cherish their feathers. Wu Shan was unwilling to be said to be flattering the father of the cabinet minister. He could understand it.

However, being able to understand does not mean being able to accept it. Yan Shifan himself disdained these red tape.

What really offended Yan Shifan was that a few years ago, Wu Shan replaced Wang Yongbin as the Minister of Rites. Although Wu Shan was a fellow villager, he had no agreement on everything and often had disagreements with Yan Song.

At this time, Yan Shifan accidentally learned that Wu Shan had a daughter in middle age and was as beautiful as a flower. He didn't feel that there was an age gap between him and Wu Shan's daughter and wanted to marry him.

The chief minister's family got married to the Shangshu family of the current dynasty, so Yan Shifan naturally would not be careless. He found the second assistant Lu Ben at that time and asked the Grand Secretary Lu Ben to be a mediator.

Lu Ben asked Wu Shan to drink and play chess in the name of Yan Shifan. Lu Ben covered the chessboard with his hands and said to Wu Shan: "What is Yan Changgong's wine, what is the public intellectual?"

Wu Shan said: "I don't know."

So Lu Ben told Wu Shan about the marriage, and Wu Shan politely declined, and Yan Shifan was very unhappy when he found out.

In revenge, Yan Shifan also used his father Yan Song's identity to disrupt Wushan's entry into the cabinet, leaving Wushan alone as the Minister of Rites for nearly five years.

Although becoming the Minister of Rites may not necessarily enter the cabinet, when Emperor Jiajing appointed Wu Shan to replace Wang Yongbin, he really planned to let Wu Shan enter the cabinet, and even had several exchanges with Yan Song.

Now that he heard Li Donghua mention the Wushan memorial, he missed the opportunity a few days ago because King Jing left Jing and was frustrated.

Not only did he take advantage of the solar eclipse to keep King Jing, but he also took the opportunity to overthrow Wushan. He did not plan to let go of this opportunity.

Emperor Jiajing seemed to have become more and more stubborn because he was older, and it became increasingly difficult to accept the opinions put forward by ministers, and seemed more stubborn and self-righteous.

Wu Shan angered the emperor many times in just over ten days. Just think about it and know the emperor's mentality at this time.

Although Yan Shifan knew that it was impossible for Emperor Jiajing to kill Wu Shan because of the solar eclipse.

If the emperor really wants to do this, it will be recorded in the "Emperor's Records", and he will probably be ridiculed by later generations. Emperor Jiajing cannot ignore these things.

Although it is said that Wu Shan cannot be killed, it is possible to dismiss the office and resign from Yan Shifan's opinion.

Moreover, as Yan Shifan knows, before Wu Shan’s first memorial was sent, it is said that Gao Gong had looked for Wu Shan several times, but he failed to stop him from submitting the memorial.

This time, not only Gao Gong did not persuade him, but even Xu Jie did not seem to want to get involved in this matter and directly transferred the memorial to Yan Song’s duty room for processing.

The emperor was not happy, and the chief minister and the second assistant of the cabinet did not want to protect him. Yan Shifan felt that the opportunity to overthrow Wu Shan was coming.

At that time, a position of Shangshu will be freed, and officials from the Yan family can still fight again.

The Ministry of Rites seems to have no money, but Yan Shifan has been coveting for a long time. It is really an imperial examination system under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and there are too many benefits to take over. If you do things well, you can not only reap money, but also win over a large number of local gentry families.

After thinking for a while, Yan Shifan said to Li Donghua: "What are you doing with rituals? Have you forgotten your Majesty's instructions last time?"

Speaking of this, Yan Shifan smiled softly and said, "If I remember well, the last time it was because of the etiquette that the etiquette did not submit a memorial, which made His Majesty unhappy.

No matter what you say, you always show that your etiquette is not a waste of time in the court. You will not say what you think is right or wrong. You must have a correct attitude so that your Majesty will not regard you as useless people.

If you say it right, you will win the favor of Your Majesty. If you say it wrong, it will be rejected. One day the cabinet will not receive several rejected memorials."

Yan Shifan said with a relaxed look. He believed that with his words just now, Li Donghua should understand. He expressed his attitude when he submitted a memorial. Emperor Jiajing would not punish him for offending him. If he did not submit a memorial to express his attitude, he might be subject to the

Implicit.

Of course, Li Donghua also figured it out. This memorial must be made, otherwise he would be afraid that he would be like the previous one again.

Wu Shan’s memorial would definitely make Emperor Jiajing furious. Naturally, his memorial could not be echoed by Wu Shan. I can only say that his fault is not. As for whether Emperor Jiajing will punish Wu Shan heavily this time, this has little to do with him.

I thought that if I had submitted a report to impeach Wu Shan earlier this time, I would not have been fined.

For those yamen with sufficient oil and water, officials naturally do not rely on their salary to live, but a literacy like him is different.

Thinking of being imprisoned and losing his salary for two months, Li Donghua made up his mind that the impeachment of the last memorial was not strong enough, and he had to be more ruthless, otherwise it would be difficult to relieve his resentment.

Prince Yu’s Mansion, back garden warm pavilion.

There are many people in the house today, not only King Yu is here, but even Gao Gong, who has not entered the mansion for a long time, has found an excuse to come in.

As for Yin Shidan, the official of the royal palace, Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng were naturally in the house, but the atmosphere in the house was a little cold at this time.

Gao Gong lowered his head and pondered. Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng were in the last seat and whispered. Only King Yu and Yin Shidan were looking around. King Yu was obviously not here, while Yin Shidan didn't know how to break the atmosphere of this cold situation.

But after sitting for a while, King Yu seemed a little impatient and said, "Mr. Gao, I think if you think you can fight, then you can fight. There is no need to take Guangde and others' remarks seriously."

When they heard King Yu's words, Wei Guangde and Zhang Juzheng, who were muttering in a low voice, stopped talking and looked at King Yu. After hearing King Yu's words clearly, the two of them just looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Today, Gao Gong entered Prince Yu's mansion, so he came back to take a look, but wanted to get the support of Prince Yu so that he could participate in the position of Minister of Rites.
