Chapter 54                                                             �

Yang Bo said lightly: "Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel was imprisoned and died."

Zhou Mengchen shook his hand, and the fish mark suddenly moved on the water surface, and all the fish that were about to take the bait ran away. However, Zhou Mengchen had no intention of fishing and asked, "Why is this?"

Li Mo has a bad temper, and Zhou Mengchen has no friendship with Li Mo. It has been happening in recent years that Li Mo has taken office. When Zhou Mengchen was in the capital, Li Mo was still an official in the middle and lower level of the Ministry of Personnel, and the two did not meet at all.

But Zhou Mengchen is still sad about the death of a rabbit and the fox.

You should know that there are hundreds of thousands of officials from the Ming Dynasty, but there will be no more than a hundred officials who can pass the hurdles and reach the level of the Shangshu. There are even fewer people who can be competent for a Shangshu, and even fewer people who can serve as a Tianguan official in the Ministry of Personnel. It can be said that Li Mo is already an elite among the elites of the Ming Dynasty, and such people will die if they die. Zhou Mengchen felt that he had no sense of security.

Yang Bo said: "I just found out that this year's examination, I don't know how to ask Li Mo to give the question. Li Mo's plan was that 'Han and Wu conquered the four barbarians, and the country was wasted; Emperor Tang attacked Huai Cai, but his late career was not over. Yan Song presented it to His Majesty. His Majesty was furious and was imprisoned, and then a few days later. Li Mo died of illness."

Zhou Mengchen's heart was also very complicated. Because Li Mo's big mouth was not thinking about it at all. This sentence really was to be exaggerated, why did he talk about Jiajing again? Even Zhou Mengchen brought it in. The sentence Wu of Han doesn't need to be said. As for the Emperor Tang, it was not Tang Taizong, but Tang Xianzong. Attacking Huai Huai Cai refers to the famous battle in Caizhou on a snowy night. These two emperors are typical examples of the front and darkness. There is no problem with Jiajing. But the problem is that there are many emperors like this, who are bright and darkness before, but what does he mean by Tang Xianzong? Even if he takes the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, why not take Emperor Xuanzong of Tang? Isn't it to hint that Zhou Mengchen goes down to Qingcheng on a snowy night?

But even though he was uncomfortable, Zhou Mengchen did not feel that Li Mo was about to die. Moreover, Zhou Mengchen felt that Jiajing did not mean to let Li Mo die. After all, Li Mo's death was not the punishment of Jiajing's Ming Zhengpai, but died in prison.

This is very talkative.

Based on Zhou Mengchen's understanding of Jiajing, is Jiajing an emperor who dare not kill ministers? Can you only attack secretly? No. Of course, Jiajing does not have a political cleanliness obsession. If there is a need, he doesn't mind attacking secretly. But is there a need for Li Mo?

Not.

Unlike Jiajing in history, Jiajing in history was addicted to Taoism and endured the pain of illness, which was regarded as a disaster for immortal cultivation. In short, it was a rebellious old man who was uncomfortable all over and refused to accept treatment honestly, so he made many decisions in his later years, so he had the chance to be taken advantage of. But now Jiajing is devoted to health preservation, and he never lacks daily diet and exercise. He is healthy than his son, and the only thing is that he has more requirements for women. Of course, is it men? It is like this, and this even shows that Jiajing is in good health.

The physical condition reflects Jiajing's mental state. Jiajing has a bad temper, but he is not as good as being stabbed and executed immediately, let alone a high-ranking official like the Minister of Personnel. This should be paid attention to the influence.

Even Zhou Mengchen felt that some rabbits died and foxes were sad. Think about it, did other ministers not have this idea? How could Jiajing think of not saying this? So Jiajing must have Li Mo die, and it would not be like this. It is unclear and the impact is too bad.

Therefore, Zhou Mengchen suspected that this matter might not be the emperor's intention, but someone did it under the name of the emperor, so he could not understand who this person was.

Zhou Mengchen knew why Yan Song took down Li Mo for the purpose of Beijing inspection. This question has been mentioned in the previous article. But he didn't understand why he did things so well?

Political struggles are still in conflict, and there is still a tacit understanding of many things. For example, since Li Mo has been imprisoned, whether it is Li Mo who has been in prison or let him dismissal from office and go home. This is OK, why did he have to take Li Mo's life as a finale? Don't he know that the initiator has no descendants. Xia Yan's death has already given a bad start to the latter. Now Li Mo's death has made many people see the Yan Dang's methods. Yan Song is over 70 years old. Aren't he worried about what the fate of Yan Dang will be after he dies?

Zhou Mengchen couldn't help frowning, thinking about the mystery of this.

Yang Bo saw Zhou Mengchen's doubts and said, "Yan Song recommended that the scale of the Beijing Admissions will be increased, and the Grand Secretary Li Ben temporarily took over the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel and presided over the Beijing Admissions."

Zhou Mengchen was stunned and said, "What a good method!"

It is true that Li Ben has always been a transparent person in the cabinet. However, this Grand Secretary is not fake. For the Yan Party, there are several benefits to the Yan Party. The first advantage is to pull Li Ben into the Yan Party.

The Beijing Chase can decide whether the officials will go or not. Given this opportunity to Li Ben, you can imagine that Li Ben's power will expand rapidly. With the strength at hand, he naturally would not want to be a short Grand Secretary.

This method was like the conflict between Jin and Chu. Jin supported Wu and immediately caused a fire to the backyard of Chu.

Similarly, after Li Ben became powerful, he would not attack Yan Song for a long time, but would compete for power with Xu Jie. Zhou Mengchen didn't know what Yan Song and Li Ben said. But I think with Yan Song's aging, Li Ben would definitely not escape from Yan Song's palm.

A great scholar is still very important in the court.

Second, the Beijing inspection itself is a purge, and now this power is in the hands of Yan Song. How can it not be used to eliminate dissidents? It can be said that this time Yan Song’s goal is not only the top few positions in the capital, but also many middle and lower-level officials below. This is a storm.

This is a storm, a storm that can greatly change the balance of power in the court. The impact will be very far-reaching. Zhou Mengchen has already smelled the storm that is about to come and the wind fills the building.

Yang Bo also said: "This is a good method. It can be foreseen that the situation in the court will become more intense in the next few years, and Xu Jie and Yan Song may have a winner."

Zhou Mengchen said, "How can I see it?"

Yang Bo pondered for a moment and said, "What do you say? You didn't realize that there was something wrong with the decision of the Strict Party this time. How do you say it? It should be said that there is no sense in many places."

Zhou Mengchen's heart moved and said to himself: "Yes, I have this feeling too. It can be seen that the heroes see each other." Zhou Mengchen immediately asked Yang Bo and said: "Brother Yang, why do you think this is the case?"

Yang Bo said: "Actually, everyone understands the meaning of Your Majesty. It is just a check and balance between each other and a fight without breaking it. But Yan Song was also in this framework before. There was a sense of proportion. But now there is no sense of proportion. After thinking about it, there are only two reasons. The first reason is that Yan Song has a knot between You and Your Majesty. Yan Song has to rely on the power of the foreign court to protect him. Another reason is that Yan Song is old and many things are not done by him. He sent people to execute them, so naturally it is not as delicate as he controls himself. Some things cannot be done perfectly. But no matter what the reason is, such a situation is not what Your Majesty sees. After this year's Beijing inspection, the Yan Party will definitely be at its peak."

Yang Bo specially added accents to these four words.

Zhou Mengchen immediately understood that after the sun was at its peak, the rivers were naturally falling.

After all, the struggle between ministers has lost the so-called "sense of proportion". What does Jiajing look like? That is his loss of control over the political situation in the capital. This is something that Jiajing must not allow. I think Jiajing will definitely turn the situation around.

How to reverse it, it is that the situation of Yan Song and Xu Jie confrontation that had been maintained for several years above the Ming Dynasty court will change.
