Jinyi champion

Wenyuan Pavilion.

After Mao Ji returned to the capital, as soon as he arrived at the cabinet Yingmao, he was ordered to go to the Qianqing Palace to talk.

The four cabinet ministers went together, but when they came back, there were only Mao Ji and Jiang Mian. The emperor left Fei Hong and Liu Chun to talk, obviously to divide and disintegrate the cabinet camp.

"...His Majesty intends to make Huang Gongxian a cabinet minister, but Huang Gongxian has never entered Hanyuan before, but was temporarily recruited as a Hanlin Bachelor, and arranged to join the cabinet in a blink of an eye. His Majesty clearly intends to provoke discord among the ministers."

Mao Ji was a bit more tempered than Jiang Mian. When he returned to the cabinet to check the room, he saw that there was no one around, so he finally couldn't help complaining to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian's tone seemed very flat: "Whether we are in harmony or not is the second priority. I am afraid that His Majesty still refuses to give up on the ceremony."

Mao Ji was furious.

Huang Zan became a Hanlin scholar as a minister of Yili. If he is allowed to join the cabinet, it means that the Yili faction will have a firm foothold in the court.

Jiang Mian and Mao Ji were the first and second assistants in the cabinet, so they naturally didn't want the "black sheep" to enter the center of the Ming Dynasty.

The two were talking, and Fei Hong and Liu Chun also came back.

Mao Ji hurried over and asked, "What did Your Majesty tell you?"

Liu Chun stood back properly and let Fei Hong come out to answer.

Fei Hongdao: "Your Majesty has inquired about Yongxiu's assessments over the years, and seems to be interested in cultivating him."

"Use Xiu?" Mao Ji frowned.

That day, we were clearly talking about Huang Zan's entry into the cabinet, why did Yang Shen suddenly come up?Although Yang Shen was in the limelight at the ceremony, it was difficult to get into the eyes of the cabinet scholars, and it was not his turn to be in the top position.

Fei Hong nodded: "Your Majesty did mention Yongxiu, and also said that he wanted to promote him as a Bachelor of Attendant... At the same time, he asked about the replacement of the Hanlin Bachelor... Related matters will be announced in the court in the next few days. , if there are objections, it will not be too late to say so.”

Fei Hong tried his best to make himself look less important.

At the same time, I am also reminding Mao Ji and Fei Hong that I will tell what I know. If you think there is something wrong with it, you can talk about it in the court.

Since you know that this is the emperor's intentional method to divide us, don't treat me and Liu Renzhong as enemies. We have no intention of betraying the civil servant camp.

Jiang Mian said: "I used to revise the above report about the ceremony, but your Majesty still suppressed it, right?"

Fei Hong reminded: "I have already called back."

"Yongxiu didn't say anything?"

Jiang Mian was very strange, as a Shoufu University scholar, he didn't know anything about it.

Fei Hong shook his head, expressing that he did not know the details.

Mao Ji was a little puzzled: "Liuzhong in the palace can understand this memorial, what does it mean to call it back? Afterwards, Yongxiu will be promoted to a bachelor of attendant lecturer? Is this to stop Yongxiu's mouth?"

Finally, Liu Chun couldn't help but interjected: "I don't think you need to worry. There are many things about etiquette that Yongxiu has come forward, but he still can't get into the core issue... If His Majesty wants to impose pressure on Yongxiu just to stop his mouth, En Hui, I think His Majesty will not make such a bad move, and Yong Xiu will definitely not compromise."

"Ah."

Liu Chun's words immediately attracted the rest of the cabinet to nod in agreement.

The emperor would not be so stupid to bribe Yang Shen, and Yang Shen would not be bribed... Outsiders think so.

Yang Shen has always set his sights on the top, would he make a compromise in principle for his own benefit?The emperor hated Yang Tinghe so much, would he think of buying Yang Tinghe's unfulfilled son?
It's completely unreasonable!
Mao Jidao: "When the court pushes forward, everyone should have the same opinion. There is no need to add more candidates to the cabinet. I believe a few of them have the same idea as me. Don't be biased."

After Fei Hong and Liu Chun looked at each other, they also nodded in agreement.

The emperor wanted to win them over to pave the way for Huang Zan to enter the cabinet, and Jiang Mian and Mao Ji put pressure on them to oppose the addition of cabinet members.

……

……

Hanlin Academy.

All the members of Hanlin who jointly discussed the ceremony had heard the news that Yang Shen's performance had been beaten back, so they gathered at Yang Shen's mansion that day to discuss with Yang Shen the matter of performing the performance again.

More than a dozen people came, and Yang Shen didn't want to face it. After all, Yang Shen had reached a secret agreement with Zhang Zuo, so he would inevitably feel guilty.

"...Yongxiu, I heard that His Majesty wants to let Xueshi Huang enter the cabinet, and leave the position of Bachelor of the Imperial Academy left by Xueshi Huang to Zhang Bingyong. As soon as this matter is brought up, Zhang Bing will be impeached on the grounds that he is not worthy of virtue."

Not only should we oppose the emperor's pursuit of the Xingxian Emperor, but we must also oppose the emperor's use of ministers sent by Yili.

On Huang Zan's side, as ordinary Hanlin, they seemed to be hard to object to. After all, Huang Zan returned to Beijing as a Hanlin scholar as the Minister of Nanhubu. As a Jinshi who went to Shangke, he was promoted to Hanlin Bachelor in less than three years, which is unreasonable.

They asked themselves that their qualifications and experience were far richer than Zhang Cong's, and they were all "old men" in the Imperial Academy, so they thought, why can't they object to the emperor's appointment of Zhang Cong?
Yang Shendao: "My idea is to discuss the rites, so let's take it easy."

Ye Guizhang came over with the crowd and asked inexplicably, "Why delay?"

At this time, Yang Shen tried his best to make his words meet everyone's expectations, and said: "Elder Jiang Ge and Bachelor Feng once asked me to talk and thought that I was too hasty to go to the performance. At this time, Your Majesty has not changed anything. Let me propose the ceremony first. This matter will only arouse His Majesty's rebellious psychology, and now the ceremony has temporarily returned to calm, it is best to wait until His Majesty brings up the old matter again, and then I will play it."

Yang Weicong squeezed forward from the crowd, looking very excited: "I am waiting for the unity of the will and the high morale, but I have to wait? Is it inappropriate?"

Yang Shen glared at Yang Weicong.

At this time, Yang Weicong, under the operation of the civil servant faction, re-entered the Hanlin Academy and became the Hanlin Xiuzhuan, already at the same level as Zhu Hao.

Yang Weicong has been in the limelight recently, and Yang Shen has not given up his suspicion of Yang Weicong, so now Yang Shen is very disgusted with Yang Weicong.

"Everything must be based on the overall situation. This time, His Majesty sent us back to explain the problem. No matter how stubborn we are, we will not get the help of the cabinet ministers and Hanlin scholars. How can we accomplish things? Before doing things, shouldn't we Take care of every aspect of your feelings?"

In the tone of a superior, Yang Shen taught the group of people who "have nothing to do when they are full" present.

In the past, Yang Shen regarded them as close comrades-in-arms, but now he kind of regards them as opponents.

Yu Chengxun hurriedly came out to reconcile: "Don't worry about Yongxiu, all colleagues are well-intentioned, and the previous joint name was also for your sake, why are you so anxious?"

Yang Shendao: "Now we need to find the right target and focus on dealing with those who support Yili in the court. I heard that recently, some people in the capital have published books on Yili and discussed court affairs without authorization. These people have ulterior motives. Shouldn't we use them first For the target?"

"This……"

Ye Guizhang hesitated for a moment, and said, "Yongxiu, to put it bluntly, the people who recently published and printed books on rituals in the capital are not just people from the rituals school."

Yang Shen's attitude was indifferent: "No one can openly discuss court affairs in such a way. Jingdao discussed with me before, and he said that he wanted to impeach these people and asked me to join them. I agreed. I will not force you to do things. But if anyone is willing to join the name, they can stay."

Yang Weicong sighed: "Wouldn't it be possible to overturn a boat of people with one blow?"

Someone pulled Yang Weicong's clothes, but Yang Weicong was very stubborn.

In fact, Yang Weicong also wanted to take refuge in the big tree of Yang Shen, but the problem was that he could see it himself, and Yang Shen didn't like him in the past two years, so why couldn't he stand on his own at this time?
Yu Chengxun said: "I think what Yongxiu said makes sense. It is a taboo in the capital to publish books and openly discuss the affairs of the court. We should not cover up and condone someone just because we stand on our side. We should treat them equally. This way we will appear There is no bias in the position.

"It is difficult for me to come forward to discuss the ceremony. It is difficult to achieve results. We should discuss with the important ministers in the court before making a decision, and advance and retreat together... Aren't you clear about Yongxiu's position? He is relying on his own Flesh and blood and career prospects, as a pioneer, now let us know that only by playing steadily can we have a chance of winning, and we should support him."

"Ah."

Most of the people present acted according to the wind.

They didn't want to be too radical on the issue of the ceremony, and they were forced to do so. Now that they see the leader retreating first, they feel better.

Only a few people with a certain political purpose felt that Yang Shen's actions were a kind of surrender and compromise, and they were somewhat dissatisfied with Yang Shen, but because the main public opinion was on Yang Shen's side, those who had opinions also Can only temporarily choose to endure.

……

……

The matter of jointly participating in the impeachment of those who printed the books on the ceremony in the Beijing Normal University went smoothly.

Zhu Hao took the lead, and Yang Shen mobilized the members of the Imperial Academy, soliciting 80 people to sign together, even Yang Weicong and others who had serious objections before, joined together.

When Yang Shen handed over the famous memorial to Zhu Hao, he had a private communication with Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao asked: "Now in the Imperial Academy, there is no wind that is not good for you, right?"

"No."

Yang Shen shook his head and said, "Actually, I'm also worried. If His Majesty spreads some news secretly, saying that I made some improper exchange with them..."

Zhu Hao sighed: "No matter what, when you are promoted to serve as a lecturer, there will still be criticisms, but what are you afraid of? As long as our general direction in discussing ceremonies remains the same, don't just speculate. There is no climate at all.”

Yang Shen felt better when he heard this.

Yang Shen said: "Speaking of it, why doesn't Your Majesty want me to directly join the ceremony?"

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Brother Yongxiu, are you joking? You can't really be so unprincipled, right?"

"of course not."

Yang Shendao, "It's just that His Majesty asked me to suspend the discussion of the ceremony, but gave me such a generous condition. I can't figure it out... Is I really that important in the whole plan?"

The second update arrives, the emperor asks for a guaranteed monthly ticket support!
