Chapter 207 I like playing with snakes, Yan Song is very excited In the yard, Jiang Qingzhi stood up. "Although the Emperor understands the whole story, it is too late." Chen Pin said with a smile: "In recent years, the Khan has used the killing of the envoy to spread hatred among the various tribes and vowed that sooner or later he would go south to take revenge..." "Horses trample the Central Plains?" "No, it's to restore the glory of the Yuan Dynasty!" Chen Pin was already drunk and waved his hands. "The so-called nine-border defense of the Ming people didn't dare to fight against the Khan's cavalry. With such cowardly officers and soldiers, they thought they could stop the Khan's army?" Jiang Qingzhi stood up, and Chen Pin glanced at him with drunken eyes, "When the Khan goes south, I will plead for you and save your life..." Jiang Qingzhi turned and left without saying a word. Mo Zhan opened the door, Jiang Qingzhi walked out and came face to face with Xu Jie. "Minister Xu." "Long Wilbur."
This was the first time the two had close contact. Jiang Qingzhi drank a lot of wine, and his pale face became more red. Xu Jie's lips moved, "That memorial..." "Why explain?" Jiang Qingzhi smiled kindly, "I know what Minister Xu is thinking. He wants to lie low and keep his head down... A tree that stands out in the forest will be blown away by the wind. Minister Xu wants to use his forbearance to gain the contempt of Yan Song and his son. It's a good idea. But who can predict what will happen in the future?" In history, Xu Jie had been forbearing, pretending to be a grandson, but secretly he was waiting for the opportunity to take action against Yan Song and his son. Later, he really waited for it. But this life is different. Jiang Qingzhi looked at Xu Jie, "Many things will change." Xu Jie smiled gently and cupped his hands, "I was wrong this time." "Minister!" Zhou Xia exclaimed. Politicians can give in, can remain silent, but they cannot admit their mistakes. Admitting mistakes will damage your reputation! Before Xu Jie entered the cabinet, he admitted his mistakes to Jiang Qingzhi. After that, when the two met in the court, Jiang Qingzhi had the psychological advantage. Jiang Qingzhi looked at Xu Jie and thought that he was indeed a Ninja Turtle-level figure. If it weren't for his poor moral integrity, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was a famous minister. Chen Pin was still yelling inside, "Chen is a man of his words. I will definitely spare Jiang Qing's life when the time comes!" Jiang Qing got on his horse and said, "Minister Xu, we'll meet again later." Xu Wei nodded, then mounted his horse and left. "I will spare your life..." Chen Pin staggered and shouted in the yard.
Bang! The door is closed. "Hey! Didn't you say you were going to let me go? Open the door, open the door!" Outside the gate, the clerk of the Honglu Temple cursed: "You bastard, you really think you are a big shot. Who is Chang Wei Bo? How dare you say you will spare his life? Wait for Chang Wei Bo to say something to His Majesty, and this day next year will be the anniversary of your death!" Chen Pin was stunned, and most of the alcohol turned into cold sweat. "By the way, what did I say earlier?" Chen Pin burped and turned around slowly. The attendant who was taken to the back looked at him sympathetically, "You said a lot." "It's not a secret, is it?" Chen Pin was hoping for a lucky break. The follower nodded, then slowly backed away, "Don't even think about killing me to silence me. If you really want to do it, you are no match for me." "Jiang Qingzhi, you bastard, actually... He did this on purpose." Chen Pin suddenly shouted: "Chang Wei Bo, I am willing to surrender! I am willing to tell you the truth about Altan Khan, Chang Wei Bo, Chang Wei Bo..." Outside the door, the clerk spat at the gate, "I have been in the Honglu Temple for many years, and I have seen a lot of people like you. In the past, it was the superiors who asked us to treat the foreign envoys well, but this has brought out your temper. The more you tolerate me, the more arrogant you become. Today, Long Wilbur didn't take you seriously, but you became soft? It turns out that you are just bitches, hahahaha!" Everyone understands many truths in the world, but not everyone can do them. For example, cherish your life and stay away from the prince who is fighting for the throne. King Jing and his mother wanted to seize the throne, and this could not be hidden from those who were interested. However, there were still many people willing to be King Jing's father-in-law. The son of a favorite concubine, he has been loved by Emperor Jiajing since he was young, and he is smart... A long list of praises echoed in the palace. King Jing stood by, feeling the scrutiny and listening to the praises, and couldn't help but think of what his uncle said... ——Many times, young people’s marriage is like a business transaction. Now King Jing wants to add one more sentence: We are all pigs, waiting to be sold by weight. "I wonder what Your Highness likes." A noble lady covered her mouth and laughed. Concubine Lu smiled and said, "This child likes reading. He has liked it since he was young." Haha... King Jing sneered silently, thinking to himself, when have I ever liked reading? "Oh! This is a good habit." Another noblewoman said, "It's a good thing that the prince likes to read. It's a good thing that the husband and wife are in harmony. You read while I play the piano. Isn't it wonderful?" Everyone laughed. "Your Highness, do you like to play?" The noble lady seemed quite satisfied with King Jing, but King Jing remembered that his daughter once said: If I want to marry, I will marry a hero. Otherwise, even if it is a prince, a noble, I would rather cut my hair and become a nun. Lu Shan'er said this unintentionally when she entered the palace. King Jing looked up and smiled. "I like……" …… When he saw King Jing again, Jiang Qingzhi noticed that the corners of his eyes were bruised, "Who hit him?"
Could it be the Taoist priest? But the Taoist priest never took action, so it must be Prince Yu? King Jing touched the corner of his eye and said, "I bumped into the door frame." Ha ha! Jiang Qingzhi did not expose the truth, and the two of them went to see Emperor Jiajing together. "Who hit you?" Emperor Jiajing took a look but was not angry. "It was... Mother." "Why?" "A woman asked me what I liked." "Just say it directly." Emperor Jiajing thought it was boring for the old woman to think about that thing all day long. "I told you that I was slapped by my mother afterwards." "what did you say?" "I said, I like playing with snakes." Hey! It’s time to fight! Jiang Qingzhi thought it was a good fight. "I don't like being criticized by others, and I don't like my marriage being treated as a business matter." King Jing stiffened his neck, with the attitude of a rebellious teenager. "I don't like it either, but only women understand women. Go!" Emperor Jiajing waved his hand. King Jing took his leave, and Huang Jin came in, "Your Majesty, the time has come." Emperor Jiajing stood up, and Jiang Qingzhi asked: "What is going on today..." "Today is the day for court meeting." Huang Jin said. Jiang Qingzhi wondered, "Why didn't anyone tell me?" Huang Jin couldn't help but roll his eyes, "This is a routine. Didn't Chief Wilbur come last time?" Jiang Qingzhi left in embarrassment. What’s the point of this morning meeting which is just like punching in? Jiang Qingzhi walked into Wuyi Palace with a smile. Dozens of important officials lined up in shifts, and Jiang Qingzhi felt like they were children sitting in a row, waiting to share fruits. The head of the family is the Taoist priest. "Qingzhi." The old playboy had a high status and waved in front. Jiang Qingzhi walked over and the civil servant standing behind Zhu Xizhong tactfully stepped back. "What's the matter?"
"I heard that Xu Jie gave you a warning?" Zhu Xizhong was a little annoyed. "That guy pretended to be low-key all day, but he finally showed his true colors. But don't worry, I have prepared something good for him today." "What good stuff?" Jiang Qingzhi just asked when Emperor Jiajing arrived and he hurried back to class. As the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Xu Jie is also here today. Zhu Xizhong glanced at him and sneered, "Want to use Qingzhi as a stepping stone to advance your career? That depends on whether I agree or not." Such large-scale court meetings were not held often. Generally speaking, the affairs of the Ming Dynasty were more concentrated in Zhilu where decisions were made and copied to the Daoye, who made the final decision. Several political affairs were discussed lukewarmly by the ministers, and Emperor Jiajing either approved or disapproved. Jiang Qingzhi noticed that the Taoist priests mostly agreed, and the only thing they did not allow was a trivial matter. The Emperor's Mindset? He smiled. The smile fell into the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, and he said lightly: "Does Long Wei have anything to say?" Swish! All eyes were focused on Jiang Qingzhi. Jiang Qingzhi came out calmly, "Yes, Your Majesty." He sorted out his thoughts and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the Altan tribe is the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty. The blockade of communication with the Altan tribe has made the Ming Dynasty almost ignorant of the true situation of the Altan tribe. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and knowing the enemy will lead to victory in every battle. I think the blockade should be lifted. At least a gap should be opened secretly." You are here as expected! Cui Yuan came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think what Chang Wei Bo said is absurd. Altan Khan often regards himself as the remnant of the Mongols. If the Ming Dynasty opens its mouth, it means it has admitted this. The name comes first. Only when the name is right can the words be justified. We must not give Altan Khan the opportunity to raise his own status." Zhao Wenhua also came. He took a look at Jiang Qingzhi and thought of his situation in the later period of the Imperial Prison. If eyes could kill, Jiang Qingzhi would have died countless times by now. "Your Majesty, I second the proposal!" "I second the proposal!" One by one, the ministers came out, and even Yan Song's enemies agreed with Cui Yuan's opinion. Jiang Qingzhi knew that this was the pride of the Central Kingdom at work. An official said: "An Da is a clown! How dare you compare yourself with the Ming Dynasty? Kill his envoy to show the legitimacy of the Ming Dynasty." The Mongol Yuan Dynasty has long become a thing of the past, but in the eyes of these people, it still has to be compared with the former Yuan Dynasty... The Mongol Yuan Dynasty was a pseudo-regime, and the Ming Dynasty was the legitimate one. The killing of Altan Khan's envoy was the result of this mentality. Amid a wave of seconding voices, Jiang Qingzhi slowly looked at Xu Jie. Old Xu! Be willing to admit defeat. It's your turn to stand in line! Cui Yuan followed Jiang Qingzhi's gaze and couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself, are you secretly hating Xu Jie's memorial? Then I'll help you. Cui Yuan asked, "Does Minister Xu agree with Chang Wei Bo's proposal?"
Come, give Jiang Qingzhi a heavy blow. Yan Song glanced at Xu Jie, a hint of scorn flashed across his old eyes, and then he regained his composure. In terms of forbearance, he was no worse than Xu Jie. When Xia Yan was in power, Yan Song was also the prime minister. However, he was suppressed by Xia Yan and did not even have the power to read memorials. A prime minister who has no power to draft documents and cannot even express his opinion on memorials is like an advisor without a leader, and is of no use at all. Yan Song had been pretending to be the grandson for many years, and now he had turned the tables and became the master. He noticed Xu Jie's forbearing attitude and could not help but sneer inwardly. But seeing an important official who was about to join the cabinet bowing to him and helping him attack his opponent, even though he knew that the other party was doing it against his will, that feeling still made Yan Song feel a little elated. Why did he endure for so many years? Isn't it just for this moment of being proud and accepting the attention of the public? this moment. Yan Song was so happy! Xu Jie coughed dryly and left the class. He said gently, "What Long Wilbur said is very true." (End of this chapter)
