At this time, there was a lot of discussion in the Dongchao room. Previously, everyone thought that the issue of the chief assistant was the easiest item on today's agenda.

Because there is no dispute, once Zhai Luan decides to leave, the person who will take over as chief assistant must be old Yan Ge, and no one can compete with old Yan Ge for the position of chief assistant.

But unexpectedly, the situation became complicated almost out of nothing, and the complexity was far beyond imagination.

Yan Song, who had the highest status on the scene and was supposed to play the role of "backbone", remained silent in embarrassment. He felt as if he was being forced into a corner by the Qin Party from all angles.

Heaven is unfair!Why is it a matter of course for others to be the chief assistant, even a scum like Zhai Luan can be the chief assistant for a few days, but it is so difficult for him Yan Song to be the first assistant?
Why is it that other people's political opponents are normal people, but Yan Song just met an extremely abnormal one?
At this time, Wang Tingxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War and temporary presiding officer of the Military Aircraft Department, suddenly sighed and said: "If Qin Dewei were here, how could there be no end to the debate, and there would be no result for a long time!"

When everyone heard this sentence, they all fell silent for a while.

I have to admit that when Qin Dewei is around, that kind of protracted argument rarely occurs. Basically, Qin Dewei can make a judgment on life and death on the spot.

In affairs without Qin Dewei's participation, if the two sides have opposite positions, they can often quarrel for several months to several years.

For example, in the 16th year of Jiajing’s proposal to levy Annan, the imperial court quarreled for a full year without making a decision. In the end, it was Qin Dewei who directly helped the emperor make a decision.

Qin Dewei has such an ability, whether it is intimidation or temptation, he can always balance all parties and act according to his own will.

Could it be that this is the real appearance of the chief assistant?If it was placed in the previous dynasty, why would it be a prime minister?
Wang Tingxiang couldn't help but said to Yan Song: "Yan Jiexi, you have been denying other people's opinions just now, but you didn't talk about your own ideas! Now you come to put forward an opinion for everyone to discuss?"

What Wang Tingxiang said sounded like a normal question, but it was actually a run on.

Among the people present, who could not know that Yan Ge's opinion is only five words - I want to be the chief assistant.

If I had to add another condition, it would be "do not accept any changes".

But that's what politics is about. Everyone knows what you want, but you can't say it openly.

Elder Yan Ge also looked up to the sky and sighed, looked around and said: "The reason why there is such chaos is all because of my lack of morality, and I can't convince the crowd.

Perhaps as long as I am still in the center, it is a mistake. Is it time to correct the mistake? "

Wang Tingxiang was taken aback, he heard the meaning of resignation from Yan Ge's words.

No way?Yan Song wouldn't really be interested in going, would he?It must be testing everyone's attitude, right?Or is it to divert the topic?
However, Wang Tingxiang is still a little worried. If he "runs" Yan Song away in a mean way, will it affect his historical image evaluation?Will future generations see themselves as someone like Qin Dewei?

So Wang Tingxiang said dissatisfiedly: "If Yan Jiexi has any ideas, he can directly put them forward. No one will stop your mouth, and no one will accuse you today. Why bother to blame yourself here!"

Yan Song sneered and stopped talking. Could it be that the Qin Party is only allowed to set fire?
The other people in the Dongchao room also heard the meaning, and everyone was shocked!If Mr. Yan Ge also walked away, how would it end today?

The first assistant has already left, and if the second assistant is also in power, the two old people with some seniority in the cabinet will be gone, and the cabinet will be completely disbanded next time!

In fact, it can be seen that Mr. Yan Ge is a bit "advancing by retreating".But the advantage of the trick of "advancing through retreat" is that it won't be embarrassing if it is seen!

Objectively speaking, "you can't convince the crowd" and you can't blame Yan Ge for old yourself!With the Qin Party, it is too difficult for you to "convince the public"!
At the critical moment, Chen Chun and Chen Yushi, who had been very eye-catching today, stood up again, holding the note that had not had time to take it back, and sincerely said to Mr. Yan Ge:

"Old Yan Ge, why should you be too self-deprecating! Today's chaos

It's really no wonder that Mr. Yan Ge is to blame for abusing the power of gossip! "

Old Yan Ge glanced at Chen Chun, if you Chen Yushi didn't hold a note in his hand, Yan Song would really believe it!

Then Chen Chun went on to say: "I am just relying on a little hearsay to impeach Mr. Zhai Ge for cheating in the imperial examination! As a result, Mr. Zhai Ge felt guilty and resigned! It also caused chaos in the court. What a crime!"
In order to quell the chaos, if you think it is okay, I am willing to withdraw the impeachment, and resign to apologize, as a punishment! "

Elder Yan Ge: "."

Chen Chun, as a supervisory censor, what does it mean to "withdraw impeachment, resign and apologize"?He must have admitted that the impeachment was wrong, so he took the initiative to plead guilty and correct the mistake.

Now that the impeachment has been revoked, in order to "correct the mistake", Zhai Shoufu, who "take the blame and resign" because of the impeachment, can come back with impunity?
So Chen Yushi's subtext is that if Mr. Yan Ge dares to "advance by retreating", then he dares to sacrifice himself, and by voluntarily pleading guilty, he will invite Zhai Luan back again and again!

Anyway, he, Chen Chun, is just a censor, and it is definitely not a loss to be able to control the rank of the chief assistant!
Moreover, Zhai Luan's original official was the first assistant, and he was the first assistant appointed by the emperor. After returning, according to the usual practice, the official resumed his post, so he could continue to be the first assistant.

Then the nephew can light the lantern and everything will go on as usual, and the legality of the first assistant will not be a problem, and the Qin Party does not mind letting Zhai Luan continue to be the first assistant.

Yan Song almost spit out another mouthful of blood, he just wanted to "advance by retreating" instead of being "pushed with the tide"!
If Zhai Luan came back after a long time of tossing and leaving by himself, wouldn't it be a big joke for the whole world!
Fortunately, it was just to test the situation, and I didn't talk too much, and I didn't explicitly say that I would "retire".

After watching this scene, everyone came to their senses again and again.

Why in the beginning, Chen Yushi, the black thug of the Qin Party, would jump out just now, inexplicably helping the Yan Party attack Zhai Luan, and even took the "last blow" on purpose.

But I didn't expect such a small detail to have a huge deep meaning!

Whether Zhai Shoufu was impeached by Chen Yushi or by the strict party, the value implied is indeed different.

If Zhai Shoufu was impeached by Chen Yushi, then as long as the Qin Party sacrificed Chen Yushi, it would have the initiative to invite Zhai Luan back.

Yan Song fell into deep remorse and self-blame again, he should see through these details!

According to Yan Song's level, he could have noticed this early on!It's a pity that he was blinded by the position of chief assistant within easy reach!

As a result, his obsession with Shoufu became his biggest weakness and was exploited by the Qin Party!

At this time, Zhang Chao, a bachelor, minister of rites, and teacher of Qin Dewei, stood up to smooth things over, and first scolded Chen Chun and Chen Yushi, who was also a student: "Go down! Don't be an eyesore here!"

Then he said to Yan Song: "Mr. Yan Ge, why bother to say such useless words of anger, this place is not a place for vindictiveness. Even if you want to express your feelings directly, I would like to listen to Mr. Yan Ge's opinion!"

Yan Song said calmly: "I don't have any high opinions, and those who avoid suspicion don't have much to say, just let nature take its course and wait for the final decision of the lords.

If you can't fulfill your ambition in life, then don't force it, and you should follow the example of the ancients and hang the crown.For the rest of my life, indulging in mountains and rivers is another kind of life! "

Putting aside his obsession with Shoufu, Mr. Yan Ge felt that he had been reborn, and his realm had been greatly sublimated.

This kind of Yan Song is a bit difficult to deal with. The Qin Party looked at each other in blank dismay. What does it mean to "not be able to fulfill one's life ambitions"?
But the strict party is watching the nose and the heart, and no one has come forward to persuade Yan Song to stay. He knows that the boss is acting.

Mr. Yan Ge smiled and said to the people nearby: "You continue to discuss whether to set up a chief assistant, whether to implement a collective resolution law, and you should come up with a charter."

While speaking, Yan Song also saw Zhang Chaozheng stuffing a note back into his bosom.
Then Yan Song turned around again,
Zhang Chao said, "Besides me, you have the highest status, so it's up to you to come up with a charter."

Zhang Chao said firmly: "The chief assistant can be established, and the collective resolution law must also be implemented, but one person can only have one vote, and the chief assistant is no exception!"

This kind of castrated version of Shoufu, whoever loves to be it!Yan Song turned around and was about to leave, saying in his mouth: "If you have different minds, you will have different ways. I can't work with you!"

But Zhang Chao said nonchalantly: "Qin Banqiao and I exchanged letters recently, and he wrote in the letter that when he was young and frivolous, he did quite a lot of wrong things.

One of the biggest blunders was that he accidentally caused a capable minister like the original chief assistant Xia Yan to be dismissed from office. Recently, he felt a lot of regret in his heart.Mr. Yan Ge, what do you think? "

Yan Song: "."

If Chen Yushi apologized and resigned, he could invite Zhai Luan back; if Qin Dewei apologized and fined his salary for three years or lose one of his official titles, could he invite Xia Yan back again?

At present, there are only two chief assistants who have been "handpicked by the emperor" and are still alive, one is Zhai Luan, and the other is Xia Yan.

"Are you threatening me?" Yan Song asked Zhang Chao.

Yan Song didn't say anything yet, but Yan Dang was a little panicked.

Who is Xia Yan?Don't rub the sand in your eyes!In Xia Yan's eyes, Yan Dang might look like a traitor.

If Xia Yan came back to be the chief assistant, with Xia Yan's personality, he would definitely retaliate against the Yan Party crazily!

Especially some people from Jiangxi who followed Xia Yan and later followed Yan Song, such as Mao Bowen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Anyway, Xia Yan can't be allowed to come back as the chief assistant!So people from the Yan Party persuaded: "Old Yan Ge, don't leave, just agree!"

Yan Song: "."

This kind of castrated version of Shoufu's plan, his own people actually support it?

The members of the Qin Party suddenly shouted: "It seems that the old man Yan Ge is looking forward to it! We also support the old man Yan Ge!"

This Dongchaofang meeting has finally come to a foregone conclusion.

With tears in his eyes, Mr. Yan Ge finally became the Chief Assistant of his heart, and it was a very old-fashioned type of Chief Assistant, that is, the kind of Chief Assistant who was only in name when the cabinet was first established 100 years ago.

Time flies, time flies, and the end of the year is approaching in a flash, and the 20th year of Jiajing, where the temple was violently turbulent, is about to pass.

In Hangzhou City, Yuewang Temple, located in the northwest of West Lake, has been repaired and will reopen soon.This was a major event in the official political life of Zhejiang at the end of the 20th year of Jiajing.

Under the cold wind, Qin Dewei, a scholar of Dongge University, censor of Youdu and Minister of the Ministry of War, governor of Fujian and Zhejiang and governor of Zhejiang, personally came to inspect and accept the Yuewang Temple, which was about to be completed.

In order to avoid any problems after the official opening, it is too late to correct and fall into the eyes of others.

Tong Hanchen, a member of the shogunate, a local, and a 14-year Jinshi in Jiajing, is the main person in charge of the renovation project of the Yuewang Temple. Since joining the shogunate, he has devoted all his energy to repairing the Yuewang Temple.

Although he has lofty ideals and doesn't want to be just a foreman, he also believes that repairing Yuewang Temple is just Qin Zhongtang's own test.

As long as I can pass this test, I will definitely take on a heavier burden and be assigned a more important job!

Accompanied by Tong Hanchen, Qin Zhongtang led the members of the shogunate to pay a visit to Yuewang Temple again, and walked into the mountain gate together.

The original dilapidated wooden archway has been removed, and the original site has been replaced with a large stone archway with four columns and three floors.

The words "bixuedanxin" in the middle of the archway are not important, nor is it important what patterns are carved.

The most important thing is that on the signature, the line "Jiajing Xinchou Dongge University Scholar Qin Deweili" is accurate as long as it is correct!

Qin Zhongtang nodded in satisfaction, and continued to walk inside. Most of the couplets and plaques of important buildings such as the gatehouse and the main hall have been replaced.

Still the same sentence, it doesn't matter what words are written on it, the most important thing is to sign it, it must have Qin Zhongtang's name, and it must be eye-catching.

For this spirit, Tong Hanchen is still very accurate.Qin Zhongtang was very satisfied as he walked all the way, and nodded frequently.

Finally, when we walked to the cemetery, four newly cast kneeling statues of female cadres and thieves had already been placed, and Qin Zhongtang's new famous sentence was also placed on the ground.

It's all inscribed on the side wall and it's perfect.

"Excellent! It's perfect! It's worthy of the spirit of loyalty!" After the tour, Qin Zhongtang did not hesitate to praise him.

Tong Hanchen, who was familiar with Qin Zhongtang's personality, finally breathed a sigh of relief. As we all know, it is very difficult to hear praise from Qin Zhongtang.

This wave is stable!It is estimated that after the end of the year, it can be reused again!

A group of people walked out of the Yuewang Temple and looked towards the opposite side of the West Lake. Qin Zhongtang suddenly stopped and said to Tong Hanchen, "I suddenly remembered that Yu Shaobao is also from Qiantang."

Tong Hanchen replied, "That's right! Yu Shaobao turned the tide with all his strength, and his loyalty will last forever, no less than that of Yue Wumu!"

Qin Dewei sighed, "I think so too,"

Tong Hanchen said casually, "High opinion!"

In fact, Qin Zhongtang's intentions are not difficult to understand, he has already rubbed against Yue Wumu's aura, and it is not worth making a fuss if he rubs against Yu Shaobao again.

Qin Dewei continued: "There is a Yuewang Temple on the northwest peak of the West Lake. A Yushaobao Temple should be built on the south side of the opposite side, so that the north and south are symmetrical!"

Tong Hanchen suddenly felt ominous, but he didn't say anything.

Qin Dewei patted Tong Hanchen on the shoulder: "Then this matter will continue to be entrusted to you, after all, you are a local, so it is convenient to do these things.

Seeing that you have done a good job in repairing the Yuewang Temple, if you build another Yushaobao Temple, you will definitely be able to do a good job!After the Chinese New Year is over, let's start working! "

Tong Hanchen: "."

Fuck!Listen to what Qin Zhongtang means, or continue to use yourself as a foreman?His ideal is not a foreman!

If I had known earlier, there would be no rush to complete the renovation of the Yuewang Temple before the end of the year, and just wait for the Chinese New Year after a few more days!

Qin Zhongtang has been in a high position for a long time, and he is also used to giving orders. He confessed to Tong Hanchen the task of completing the Shaobao Temple, regardless of whether the other party wanted it or not, so he stopped thinking about it.

Just walking slowly along the West Lake, there is not much time left for peace.After the Chinese New Year is over next year, large-scale military operations will begin.
