The weather is gradually getting warmer, the coldness of early spring in February is gradually fading, and the sunny spring in March is coming, and it is the season for literati and ladies to travel in spring again.

In the spring of this year, there is no poet Qin Dewei in the capital, and other people finally have their day in the literary world, so the literati in the capital are particularly active, sweeping away the downturn in recent years.

For ministers in key positions, time is mainly arranged around work.

Yan Songyan's first assistant sat in the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion, looking at the flowers and trees in the courtyard through the door.

As the saying goes, at fifty one knows the destiny, and at sixty one listens to one's ears.He has just passed the year of hearing, but he feels that the more he lives, the more confused he becomes.

His chief assistant is probably the most boring chief assistant in the Ming Dynasty, right?

Half of the four people in the pavilion are opposites, Xiyuan still has the right to dispose of military aircraft, and the supervisor of rituals is not on the same side as me.The worst part is that all of this is controlled remotely by someone three thousand miles away.

It's really boring to be the chief assistant, why don't you just resign?Yan Shoufu watched the flowers blooming and falling clouds outside the door, and the idea of ​​retiring came to him.

Anyone who is familiar with Yan Shoufu knows that Yan Shoufu is very tolerant.But at this moment, Yan Shoufu really felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, and he couldn't beat him again, so what are you waiting for if you don't resign?
In fact, those who really hinder Yan Shoufu's resignation are those party members, and all party members do not want Yan Shoufu to resign.

Because after Yan Shoufu resigned, there was a high probability that the former Shoufu would be invited back when the emperor was still awake, such as Xia Yan.

None of Yan Song's henchmen wanted Xia Yan to come back to counterattack and liquidate the traitors!
Suddenly I saw Xu Gu, who was working in the Military Aircraft Department, walking into the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion with a letter, and said to the elders in the pavilion:
"Qin Dewei, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, hastened his victory within [-] miles! Recently, he conquered Shuangyu Island, the pirate den, and beheaded [-] people. The bandit leaders Xu Dong and Li Guangtou were all beheaded! In addition, the pirate Wang Zhi was killed, and [-] people were beheaded!"

Yan Shoufu heard the words and said: "The imperial court sent Qin Dewei to fight against the Japanese. They didn't see the killing of the Japanese and made meritorious service, but they only used these mobs to make up for it!"

Because Qin Dewei was not in the court, Zhang Chao, the second-ranked cabinet minister for the time being, asked Xu Gu: "It's just a good news, why send it in person?"

Xu Gu replied: "According to reason, if there is a good news, it is necessary to discuss merits, not to mention that this is the good news of beheading two thousand people. Others are not qualified to give Qin Dewei meritorious service, so I remind the elders to discuss."

Yan Song suddenly realized something, and asked Xu Gu, "Why didn't Wang Junchuan come?"

According to the past practice, when the Military Plane Department needs to discuss with the cabinet, Wang Tingxiang, Minister of the Ministry of War who presides over the Military Plane Department, will come in person.

So Wang Tingxiang often appeared in Wenyuan Pavilion, and sometimes he would attend, but today, it was Xu Gu who appeared in Wenyuan Pavilion.

Xu Gu sighed, and replied to Yan Shoufu: "Wang Junchuan has been in poor health since the beginning of spring, and now he is too sick to take care of things."

Several Ge elders were surprised when they heard the news.

As one of the oldest ministers in the imperial court, Wang Tingxiang is almost seventy now. If he is seriously ill at this age and cannot take care of things, he is likely to retire.If you are old and seriously ill and still refuse to take up an official position, you may face certain moral pressure under the instigation of caring people.

Wang Tingxiang is not only acting as an agent to preside over the Military Aircraft Department, but also the official minister of the Ministry of War. He is a very important and key role in the court.

Of course, another important identity of Wang Tingxiang is Qin Dewei's "close comrade-in-arms", and he is the one who can spray the most among the close comrades-in-arms.

Once the position of Wang Tingxiang is changed, it will be a chain change, which can be called a major event in the political life of the court, almost second only to the change of the chief assistant.

Yan Song stood up suddenly, he suddenly felt that he was doing it again!This is called "God can't starve to death, the blind bird will always give people opportunities and hope!"

The others looked at Yan Shoufu who was making a fuss together. Are you, Yan Song, already undisguisedly excited?

After that night, Zhang Chao, Wang Yi and other leaders of the Qin Party went to Wang Tingxiang's mansion to visit.

Normally, bigwigs would not get together easily in private in order to avoid the suspicion of forming a clique, but today they don't care

The.

At this time, Wang Tingxiang had not seen any outsiders, but Zhang Chao, Wang Yi and others were obviously not among them.

Wang Tingxiang's complexion on the sickbed was very bad, and it was difficult for him to even get up, so he could only lie down and talk.

After inquiring about his condition, Zhang Chao asked Wang Tingxiang, "What are your plans? Do you intend to become an official?"

Wang Tingxiang replied with difficulty: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of War to preside over the Military Plane Department, not for myself, but to help Qin Dewei occupy the position. If Qin Dewei does not return to the court, how can I become an official?"

Zhang Chao didn't know whether to say that Wang Tingxiang was too sober or too unconscious, and reminded him: "If you refuse to take up the post, Junchuan, I'm afraid that your reputation will be damaged, and you will be considered greedy for power and position, and even your reputation will be affected."

Wang Tingxiang smiled wryly, and said with a bit of bitterness: "Anyway, the decision to build the coffin depends on Qin Dewei. What happens to the name after death depends on how Qin Dewei writes."

Zhang Chao sighed, and said, "Then Yan Shoufu is looking forward to your retirement, so he has to do something."

The Hubu Shangshu Wang Yi asked, "Didn't Qin Dewei prepare a plan for this situation?"

"Should not be?" Teacher Zhang said uncertainly, "Qin Dewei is not a real god, he can predict this situation after three thousand miles."

On the contrary, Wang Ting on the sickbed was a little blind: "I really believe that Qin Dewei must be prepared."

Zhang Chao persuaded: "Brother Jun Chuan should take care of his illness, don't worry about the outside world, no matter how the situation changes, just let him go.

After much deliberation, it is better for Brother Jun Chuan to become an official. From now on, he will be out of sight and out of mind, and he will hang himself high above his own business. It is best to rest at home. "

On the other side, Yan Songyan, the chief assistant, was indeed waiting for Wang Tingxiang to resign, and after all the positions were vacated, he would initiate a court push to maximize the benefits.

In this way, the position of the Minister in charge of the Military Aircraft Department is vacant, and the Minister of the Ministry of War who is in charge of the affairs of the Ministry is also vacant. If they are separated, they will be the two top positions.

If you can arrange all your own people to be in power, then the power will expand obviously at once, and under the ups and downs of each other, you will not lose the wind when you confront the Qin Party.

But after waiting for two days in a row, I still didn't see Wang Tingxiang playing, please retire.

So Yan Song couldn't wait any longer, and went directly to the regent's queen, asking for a court push on the grounds that "the military aircraft department must not be unattended."

In a place like the Military Aircraft Department, all emergencies are dealt with, and what needs to be done is to respond as quickly as possible, so it is true that there cannot be no important officials to sit in charge.

From a political point of view, Empress Fang had no reason to refute Yan Song's petition, so she agreed to the court's push.

And because of the characteristics of the Military Aircraft Department, the inner court and the outer court were jointly promoted, and cabinet ministers who seldom participated in the court's promotion were also able to attend.
