Chapter 119 Xia Yan's power

Jiajing knew very well the position of the emperor, and he was just a referee. Moreover, he had no prejudice against the reconciliation.

When I agreed to reconcile, it was not that Jiajing was particularly eager for reconcile, but that he followed Xia Yan's intention. Now, the same is true for Jiajing, who has no idea of ​​insisting on reconcile.

So, after he just set the issue, he let the ministers below perform their own performance.

Xia Yan pointed out the Minister of War without hesitation. He seemed humble, but in fact he was aggressive, who could feel it?

Wang Yiqi, the Minister of War, looked at Yan Song, and he spoke loudly and said, "George, since you ask the officials to say it, you are not polite. Although the country is very wary, it will perish. Everyone knows what the situation of the court is. It is very difficult for the court to support the battle of re-drawing. Moreover, the battle of re-drawing is really a great reputation, expanding territory, but what kind of territory can be opened and what land is expanded? It is the abandoned land of this dynasty. Chengzu Chengtai

The ancestors opened the rule of Ren Xuan, and were a famous king of a generation. How could he be wrong with the matter he decided to do so? Besides, the imperial court was not supported, and the elders of Xia Ge slaughtered the royal family, ordered the superiors and subordinates to give in and persuade them, and they all said that the reconciliation was the most important thing. Not to mention that the reconciliation was the most important thing, but the relatives of the royal family were the most important. Your Majesty, I impeached Xia Yan, steal the power of the lord, fight for his own private reputation, and fight for the reconciliation of the war, which was exhausted and damaged the people and the money, and before seeing the benefits, I saw the disadvantages first. Please think twice."

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Has Wang finished speaking?"

Wang Yiqi didn't know what Xia Yan was selling for a moment, and said, "The disadvantage of reconciliation is not just this one, it's simply too numerous to write about."

Xia Yan said: "I haven't finished speaking, please continue to say -----"

Wang Yiqi for a moment, and didn't know what to say.

When Xia Yan saw Wang Yiqi stopping and said, "Since the Secretary of the King has finished speaking, it will be the old minister." Xia Yan bowed to Jiajing and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister impeached Wang Yiqi, the Minister of War, and served the king in a different way. He was indifferent to his heart. This corpse was a bare-level position, which was a major event for the court."

Seeing this, Wang Yiqi almost felt a cerebral hemorrhage and said, "You are slandering people-----"

Xia Yan said with a bit of frivolousness: "Don't worry, Mr. Wang has been the Minister of War for two or three years, right?"

Wang Yiqi said, "I became the Minister of War in the early 24th year of Jiajing."

Xia Yan said, "If I remember correctly, at that time, it was just the time when I asked for a reconciliation. What a great thing was the reconciliation? I, Mr. Xia, could it be decided by me? Of course, I have to ask the opinions of all the important officials. However, the Minister of War was in charge of Rong Ji. No matter how old and confused I would not bypass you. Wang, that was not what you said at that time."

Seeing this, Wang Yiqi looked at Yan Song. Seeing Yan Song’s expressionless face, Wang Yiqi could only say with an expressionless face: “Your Majesty, I have just taken office and have not yet sorted out the affairs of the Ministry of War, so I naturally do not dare to express my opinions on such a major issue.”

Xia Yan said: "At that time, Fengzhou Beach was not the abandoned land of Chengzu?"

Xia Yan said, "Your Majesty, now the matter is clear. I don't know what kind of heart of the Secretary of the King Wang is. I am determined to miss the major affairs of the court. If the re-set strategy is not implemented, Wang Yiqi, who was the Minister of War at that time, had a strange intention and could not serve the emperor sincerely. It would be an exaggeration to say that he would deceive the king. If the re-set strategy is feasible, now that the food and grass are in full, the six armies are ready to go, Wang Yiqi, as the Minister of War, would not be unfair to know the importance of it. He also said that he was so angry that he would place the major affairs of the state?"

"I have already established the king to pray and to face the eyes."

Wang Yiqi was suddenly a little panicked. Yan Song sighed when he saw this. He actually knew that Wang Yiqi could not deal with Xia Yan, but he never expected that he would be defeated so quickly that he could not even resist it for a round.

However, Yan Song did not place his hope on Wang Yiqi.

Yan Song coughed lightly and said, "Old Xia Ge, it's too much. Wang Shangshu is an important official of the country. He is just a mistake and treats him like this. He really loses the dignity of an important official of the court."

Xia Yan seized the loophole in Yan Song's words and said, "In this way, Master Yan also agrees with Wang Shangshu's words being wrong?"

Yan Song was stunned for a moment.

If he admitted that Wang Shangshu was wrong in his words, Xia Yan would continue to say that Wang Yiqi's memorial was problematic and completely deny the statement that he would stop reconciling the conspiracy.

This is not what Yan Song wanted. He shot him and refused to respond in a direct way, saying, "Today's matter is to discuss matters. Is the public opinion the discussion? The chief executive of the Pavilion should listen to what the people below say? Shouldn't he just grab Wang Shangshu alone."

Xia Yan said: "What Master Yan said is very true."

Xia Yan turned his back and stood in front of Jiajing's imperial throne, and said lightly to nearly 100 court officials below: "I know that many of you impeach me, or have said that the reconciliation was wrong. Today, I, Xia, is here. If you have anything, just say it in person. Who will?"

Xia Yan's eyes were like a torch, looking at the ministers below one by one. Except for a few people who were Xia Yan's side, the rest of the people dared not look at Xia Yan, feeling that Xia Yan's eyes were like a knife, and they could penetrate deep into the hearts at first glance.

Even Zhou Mengchen made a point of view and avoided Xia Yan's gaze.

These people didn't even dare to look at Xia Yan, so naturally they didn't dare to come out and talk.

Of course, this is actually Xia Yan bullying the small by the big one.

Except for a few people who were so strong, everyone was very upset when confronted by the Grand Secretary of the dynasty. The reason why Xia Yan had to do this was that he had to do it.

As mentioned in the previous article, because Xia Yan devoted too much energy to the local government, he no longer had the advantage over Yan Song among the middle and lower-level officials of the court. Xia Yan has always been strong and arrogant all his life, and faces a situation that is unfavorable to him. Xia Yan never thought of giving in temporarily, or surrendering, or other means. He had to fight hard and defeat their arrogance.

Of course, this is also the shortcoming of Yan Song.

As Yang Jisheng said, the people around Xia Yan actually have some beliefs, such as Zeng Xian. He regards the reconnaissance as more important than his own life. For example, Zhu Wan gritted her teeth and fought with the powerful Zhejiang people. It was not good for them, but she still did so.

But Yan Song is different.

Yan Song himself had no beliefs, or if he had beliefs, he was greedy for wealth and glory. The people he gathered were all gathered with interests, political interests, economic interests, and even other interests. On weekdays, there were many people, but when it was time to see success, failure, life and death, fewer people came forward.

Therefore, Xia Yan's words broke the situation where the court attacked him in groups.

Yan Song's face looked a little ugly, but he secretly glanced at Jiajing's face and felt relieved in his heart. He said in his heart: "There is a turning point."

Yan Song has always had a sufficient estimate of Xia Yan's combat effectiveness. Yan Song probably overturned Xia Yan head-on, which is not easy, or even impossible. What he planned to use Jiajing to deal with Xia Yan. It was just the last case of King Lu. It was a bit unexpected.

He dared not be sure.

But at this moment, when he saw Jiajing's eyes, he immediately understood. Although he didn't know what twists and turns had happened, Jiajing was still dissatisfied with Xia Yan.

Jiajing was very envious. Sitting on the top, she looked like a statue, and her expression did not change much. It was just that Yan Song was a person, and he focused on Jiajing's thoughts. Only after he put in great effort on it was able to figure out the emotional changes in Jiajing in a moment.

indeed.

The reason why Jiajing was dissatisfied with Xia Yan was not that Xia Yan performed too poorly, but that he performed too well.

In fact, during the entire process, Xia Yan grasped the overall structure, and seemed to have ignored the fact that there was an emperor above. More importantly, Jiajing truly saw Xia Yan's power at this moment.

Jiajing had also heard that Xia Yan was very domineering. Many people in the court were afraid of Xia Yan. He didn't care much at that time. Xia Yan was capable and able to do things, and the people under him were afraid of him, which means he had prestige. But now Jiajing doesn't think so anymore.
