Chapter 58: The Political Situation in the 29th Year of Jiajing
Chapter 58 The political situation of Jiajing 29th year
Jiajing glanced at a few people and felt a little distorted for a moment. He said, "Okay, I'll leave the matter in the court to you, especially Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu has just entered the cabinet. I have great expectations for you and hope you will not disappoint me."
Xu Jie immediately bowed and said, "Please rest assured that you are in the cabinet. You must serve you impartially and assist Master Yan and Master Zhang to handle major affairs in the court."
Jiajing nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
Is his body weak real? But whether he is really tired or fake tired at this moment is another matter. But one thing is very certain. That is, Jiajing doesn't want to see them at this moment.
He doesn't want to see anyone.
When Jiajing signaled this, Huang Jin naturally understood. He immediately said, "Please, please, my elders."
Yan Song, Zhang Zhi and Xu Jie naturally saluted and retreated one after another.
Standing outside Yuxi Palace, Yan Song did not leave immediately. Yan Song said, "Eunuch Huang, please worry more about the affairs of the palace."
Eunuch Huang said: "That's my own person, and the family is also Anlu, so you must do your best at this time."
Yan Song said: "Eunuch Huang, this Majesty's illness------"
Although Jiajing's illness was secretly secreted by the court, Yan Song still had the power to see Jiajing's pulse case. It was just that some things could not be seen from the pulse case.
Huang Jin hesitated for a moment, but then he figured it out.
There are three people in the cabinet, but now they are the stewards of the court. Huang Jin does not tell others, but cannot keep the cabinet confidential. Huang Jin then approached a little, lowered his voice, and said, "Gao Masters, Dr. Chen of the Imperial Hospital told me privately that seven parts of Your Majesty's illness are heart disease. Physical illness is easy to treat, but heart disease is difficult to treat."
"It is best to rest."
Yan Song said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your advice."
Huang Jin smiled slightly and said, "It's all for the court. Alas, it's best if Your Majesty gets better soon."
Yan Song and the other two nodded and sighed.
Huang Jin immediately said, "Your Majesty cannot live without people. I'm going back now."
Huang Jin bowed and said goodbye to the three of them, and then returned to Yuxi Palace.
For a moment, there were only three people left on the way from Yuxi Palace to Wenyuan Pavilion.
Walking on a long arched bridge, the cool breeze blows from the lake. Looking at the blue waves on both sides.
Yan Song said, "Two, I'll work hard for two of you in the past few days, especially Mr. Xu. He just entered the cabinet. This cabinet is not as good as the six ministries, and there are some tricks. It's not like what I did before, but now, I can do it. You have to pay more attention. If you don't understand, come and ask me if you don't understand anything. I have been in the cabinet for more than ten years, and I still have some experience in self-confidence." After hearing Yan Song's words, Xu Jie chuckled and said, "Then I thank the Prime Minister for his kindness. But since Your Majesty has entrusted the major affairs of the imperial court to the cabinet, the cabinet will be very busy during this period. The Prime Minister is the core of the cabinet, so I won't bother the Prime Minister. I can't help now, just follow Mr. Zhang to fight. I think Mr. Zhang won't refuse."
After hearing this, Zhang Zhi immediately said, "Yes, yes. Just Shaohu will follow me."
Yan Song smiled slightly and said, "It's good."
After that, I didn't talk much, as if I was fascinated by the scenery of the palace. I could throw away my mouth and mouth when I was full.
These words laid the foundation for the political structure at the end of the 28th year of Jiajing and the beginning of the 29th year of Jiajing.
Jiajing was sick, but he didn't die. Moreover, from the imperial physician's perspective, Jiajing's illness would not die. Although Jiajing was not weak and sick, this was not the first time he got seriously ill. Jiajing's remaining power is still there, and the current situation is also what Jiajing means.
Jiajing was worried that he asked Yan Song to preside over the cabinet alone when he was ill. Yan Song also understood. Therefore, Yan Song could not change this overall situation.
However, Yan Song could not change the fact that Xu Jie was in the cabinet, but how much power Xu Jie had in the cabinet was another matter.
It’s like Xia Yan is in the cabinet, he is not the chief minister or the chief minister.
Yan Song seemed vulnerable to Xia Yan, but in fact, as Yan Song said, he had been in the cabinet for more than ten years and had understood all the gameplay routines in the cabinet. Perhaps not as good as Xia Yan, but there was no problem with using it to deal with Zhang Zhi and Xu Jie.
Otherwise, Zhang Zhi would not have been suppressed by Yan Song and could almost breathe. In politics, if it were not for Xu Jie's support, he would have almost reached the point where he could not find such a person.
So, there are no big moves. But there are constant small moves.
Yan Song did not directly attack Xu Jie, but instead took the blame, one was to deal with the Ministry of Rites and the other was to deal with Li Shihan, the Minister of Works.
The chief is the Ministry of Rites, don’t forget that Yan Song also came from the Minister of Rites. He also had an influence on the Ministry of Rites. When Xu Jie was the Minister of Rites, Yan Song naturally had a layer of separation in his affairs with the Ministry of Rites. Now, Xu Jie is not the Minister of Rites. Yan Song naturally had to hold the Ministry of Rites in his hands.
As for Li Shihan, the Minister of Works, he is considered a strong man of Xu Jie.
Of course, it is to get rid of it quickly. Perhaps Yan Song had no intention of taking him down. It was just that Xu Jie could no longer lose the support of the Ministry of Works. Use this to control Xu Jie in other aspects.
Originally, the two strong confrontations were Yan Qiang and Xu Wu. After the Chinese New Year, Li Ben came from Nanjing. The situation in the cabinet changed a little. Since Li Ben was a Grand Secretary, he had to expand his political territory in the Ming Dynasty. In addition, his temper was not good, and Xu Jie had no choice but to retreat here, so naturally he could not give it to Li Ben. Li Ben originally wanted Yan Song to give some support.
But Yan Song naturally fooled him.
Li Ben was immediately furious and turned to Xu Jie's side.
But the result is not ideal.
The three people join forces may not necessarily shake Yan Song's power.
However, in this way, at least we can balance it a little bit so that the situation will not be one-sided. This is also considered to be fulfilled. Jiajing's goal. The time for Yan Song's family to dominate is over.
There were not many big battles between the two sides in court affairs, but there were constant small battles. In Zhou Mengchen's opinion, it was really hard to say whether it was good or bad.
It is OK. Although this is a bit internal and external, it can also maintain the stability of the court. At some times, as long as the court can maintain stability, it is a great thing for the country. But the problem is that now is not the usual time. Zhou Mengchen learned about the news on the grassland through Zhou Shangwen's old subordinates.
Altan was ambitious. After the last war, he gained a lot. After returning, he plundered many people, supplies, weapons, etc. However, after Altan returned, he rewarded him with almost nothing in terms of merit and gave all the supplies to the soldiers and leaders of various tribes.
Altan only left some Han people. He placed them in Fengzhou Beach, gave them land and grain, and let them farm.
You should know that Xuanda and even the land on the nine sides were monopolized by the generals, and very few people owned land. Therefore, most of the people who were captured by Altan were landless people, and they were divided into land for farming. Although they could not be comforted at once, three or five years later, they would probably be able to withdraw people from it and be expropriated.
Many times, the people do not have any national justice, and living is the greatest justice.
For a moment, the grassland tribes were cheering and thunderous. Altan's prestige suddenly increased.
It seems that before Altan, the suffering that Zhou Shangwen suffered in Zeng Xian and Zhou Shangwen was wiped out. There were even rumors that when Altan knew that Zhou Shangwen was dead, he regretted it very much and said, "If he had known at that time that Zhou Shangwen was dead, he would have turned around and fought again. Zhou Shangwen's death was the biggest gain of this battle."
In short, what Altan did can be called the Lord of the Revival of Mongolia. And what he did revealed his purpose. He will surely go south again.
It was in the 29th year of Jiajing.
However, the current political situation of the court has affected the whole body. Because Jiajing is sick, he cannot make any big decisions. Among them, there are secret battles between Yan Song and Xu Jie, and many good policies have been debated by the cabinet, which has become nonsense.
