I, Jiajing, Emperor Longevity

Chapter 15 Zhang Dang was born, Yan Song was in a hurry
"..."

"All class struggles, in a narrow sense, are party struggles, which take place on the basis of the opposition and conflict of material interests, that is, economic interests. In the final analysis, they all revolve around material interests..."

"Qingliu is the spokesperson of the big landlord and big merchant interest groups, and is naturally on the opposite side of the imperial power."

"But if Daming wants to rule the world, he has to use these people."

"Spreading the land into the mu is cutting off the flesh of the landlords and merchants in the world. It is said that all the land in the world is the king's land, but how much of Daming's land is now in the hands of the people? I heard that half of the Songjiang Mansion is My surname is Xu."

"Leaving the reform of the tax system to Yan Song and the others cannot be done, nor can Zhang Juzheng alone..."

"Lu Fang, today's cabinet meeting, you have to be careful."

After listening to Emperor Jiajing's political class, Lu Fang got a lot of money, and after thinking about it all the way, she came to the cabinet to be on duty.

The sunlight outside the cabinet door is so dazzling, but the silence and gloomy inside the duty room reveals a biting chill.

At this time, Xiyuan was named because it was located to the west of the Forbidden City. Its land included the Shichahai Sea in Hainan, China. It was originally a royal garden. It took the water from the Tonghui River and was shaded by trees.

Emperor Jiajing moved here after the "Renyin Palace Change" in the 21st year, and several halls were built here.

Several times there were large-scale construction projects, and several times they were burned in inexplicable fires.During the first fire, there was an official who said that it was not appropriate to build the main hall because of Fengshui, and the original intention was to persuade Jiajing to move back to the palace of the Forbidden City.

Jiajing was furious, and those who talked about Fengshui ate the court stick, and there was no further advice.

The emperor no longer lives in the Forbidden City, and of course the cabinet was moved here from the Wenhua Palace.

This made the cabinet members have to walk a long way along Haizi every time they came to be on duty. It was snowy in summer and winter. Although the scenery was beautiful, it was hard work after all.

Work a little harder, but it's nothing.

But now, the sky has changed!

Zhang Juzheng's "Stand Ding into Mu Comb" immediately set off a monstrous wave.

This time of change, the cabinet members gathered here, quietly waiting for Lu Fang to come.

They are all old foxes. Zhang Juzheng dared to propose a reform, and he must have the approval of the emperor.

It's time to fight the emperor again!
Whether it is Qingliu or Yandang, fear occupies half of the heart.

For decades, Chaotang has been well trained by Jiajing.

Lu Fang walked into the cabinet duty room, and saw Zhang Juzheng sitting alone in the corner at a glance; the eunuch Huang Jin and Chen Hong, the supervisor of ceremonies, were drinking tea, looking like watching the fun; Yan Song was dignified, Yan Shifan was happy; Xu Jie , Gao Gong with a bitter face...

"My lords, great joy!" Lu Fang arched her hands as soon as she stepped into the guard room with swords and swords.

"Eunuch Lu, I don't know where the joy comes from, but it makes this old man happy!"

When Yan Song sees Lu Fang, he always smiles like a chrysanthemum.

"Old man!"

Lu Fang was naturally full of smiles: "According to Zhang Juzheng's method of dividing the household into the mu, my Ming's tax can be more than doubled. The so-called breeding population will never be taxed. It will be the first of its kind in ancient times. If it is done, gentlemen You can enter the Confucian Temple..."

In a word, the emperor agreed to the reform.

How did it change?
Zhang Juzheng, a Qingliu traitor, is a vanguard, and if anyone is present today, no one can escape.

Enter the Confucian Temple?
The old fox had a solemn face, but a sneer in his heart. Zhang Juzheng would be the first to die at that time!

…………

Jiajing doesn't know exactly what to implement, but he can give Zhang Juzheng a few cadres who can reform, and slowly experiment.

"Hairui!"

After writing down Hai Gangfeng's name on the paper, he added "Wang Yongji" at the end.

Hai Rui, of course, I don't need much introduction.

"No king, no father, abandoning the country and family", such people can't do great things, they don't know how to adapt, and they don't know how to live in harmony.

But it's perfect to be a disciplinary committee.

As long as you don't bother me and break the sky, Jiajing is willing to give him the bottom line.

As for Wang Yongji, he is savvy in world affairs, has a measure of advance and retreat, abides by the mean, and has a clear conscience.

This is a man who can do things.

It can be said that he is one of the smartest characters in the plot.

Wang Yongji's cleverness does not lie in his strategy of governing the world and his sophisticated handling of affairs, but in his clear understanding of himself and taking every step of his official career according to this understanding.

What is commendable is that Wang Yongji did not become oily because of his intelligence. He was able to find a balance between protecting himself and practicing his ideals, and helping those he admired as much as he could.

Therefore, the unobtrusive Wang Yongji in "The Ming Dynasty 1566" is not only Hai Rui's best friend, but also wins the respect of different parties.

So far, the Zhang Party of the reform has initially formed, starting from the North Zhili and the South Zhili.

Since Yan Song paid 50 taels of silver to buy the mirror, Jiajing had funds in his hands, and he could cope with it for a month, but he was not in a hurry to make money.

So, he chose to make trouble.

"old."

With regard to the brochure for the family to enter the mu, Yan Song finished writing the last word, put down the pen, and slowly stood up while leaning on the edge of the desk.

Xu Jie still hadn't finished writing, so he had to put down his pen at this time, and then stood up, looking at Yan Song from the other side of the case: "Old Ge finished writing?"

Yan Song patted his lower back lightly: "It's not good to be old! Zhang Taiyue wants to set up his own business, and in terms of his ability to help the people in peacetime, I'm far behind!"

Xu Jie said sadly: "Master Ge, I'm already sixty, and it's time to beg for bones!"

"Shaohu Lake." Yan Song looked at the figure of Xu Jie standing behind the side case, and called out very tenderly: "The Japanese pirates in the southeast have not been subdued, and I Da Khan is on the edge of the northwest, and the imperial court is going to open the sea and reform. You and I will help each other in the same boat." ah!"

"Ge Lao." Xu Jie wanted to explain.

"You are kind." Yan Song interrupted him and continued: "It's like I have served the emperor for 20 years, and I am [-] years old, but I still can't get old. I don't get tired after a day alone, but I get tired after ten days. Be careful for a year. It's not difficult, but it's difficult to be careful all your life. You've been my deputy for many years, and it's hard for you to let me go everywhere. "

"Under one person, above ten thousand people; Mingjun is in power, and the court is full of fierce ministers, and the old man is the most difficult." Xu Jie's words are very sincere, and whether they come from the heart, at least they are not all lies to Yan Song.

Yan Song was a little moved.

Although he couldn't really see the expression on Xu Jie's face standing behind the side desk, he still looked at Xu Jie's face: "Shaohu, the book will be submitted to the emperor in the afternoon, please bring the chair here, how many times do I have?" Talk to you in a few words."

"Yes." Although Xu Jie was in his early sixties, his body was still very strong at this time, he picked up the huanghuali Taishi chair with a light end, walked steadily to the side of Yan Song's desk and put it down.

"Sit down, please sit down and talk." Yan Song stretched out his hand and sat down first.

Xu Jie still bowed and sat down following the etiquette.

"If you take the liberty to ask me, Shaohu, you have to answer me sincerely." Sitting close, Yan Song looked at Xu Jie who was full of humility.

Xu Jie said: "Elder Ge just asks, and his subordinates will not say a single false word."

"Okay." Yan Song praised, and then asked, still staring at his face, "Who do you think is the closest person in this world?"

Xu Jie didn't dare to answer rashly when he asked such a question in such a serious manner, he thought for a while before answering: "Of course father and son are the closest relatives."

A trace of bitterness appeared on Yan Song's face, then he shook his head lightly: "Not necessarily."

Xu Jie became more careful, and asked softly, "Mr. Ge, please enlighten me."

Yan Song said softly: "The "Book of Songs" says, 'Mourn my parents, and give birth to me'. It stands to reason that in life, the kindness that is difficult to repay is the kindness of parents. How many sons think this way? Nine out of ten sons Everyone thinks that parents should treat him well, so kindness has become a matter of course. Shaohu, you and I are both people full of children and grandchildren, and you should also feel that the relationship between father and son is only father to son. son to father?"

These words were not only heart-to-heart, but also heart-wrenching. Xu Jie's old man's sympathy suddenly came to his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

After all, the person in front of him is Yan Song, who has been in power for 20 years. When the current political situation is turbulent, and he knows that he is not his confidant, why do he say this at this time?
Xu Jie didn't dare to answer, but just looked at him and listened to him quietly.

Yan Song was also looking at him, thinking that he would continue what he had said, but Xu Jiemo was like a child, listening attentively, knowing that he wanted to change the subject.

"It's not easy for you to answer, so let's talk about another matter." Yan Song still looked amiable: "What do you mean by saying that the emperor wrote the word 'zhen' to us today?"

Xu Jie thought for a while and said, "Heaven has four virtues, 'Henry Zhenyuan'."

"Shaohu." Yan Song said with a sigh: "The old man is so confiding, why do you still have so many doubts. You really don't know the holy meaning of the word 'zhen' written by the emperor?"

Xu Jie didn't know the reason, he was still as wise as a fool at this time: "The chaste one is the festival. The holy will should remind you that I should keep the festival."

Yan Song's face lost its gentleness and was replaced by a dignified face, staring at Xu Jie's cloudy eyes: "How to keep the evening festival?"

Xu Jie's face also became serious: "Please give me your advice, Mr. Ge."

Yan Song stopped going around in circles: "Use your own people well!"

Xu Jie: "Please tell the old man clearly."

Yan Song: "Then let me make it clear. Hu Zongxian is my student, and his name is Ruzhen; Zhao Zhenji is your student, and his name also has the word Zhen. The emperor is telling you and me, the overall situation in the southeast, Kaihai The overall situation of the political reform, the overall situation of the reform, we want you and me to make good use of Hu Ruzhen and Zhao Zhenji! Does Mr. Xu Ge think so?"

Xu Jie couldn't help expressing his opinion: "The emperor is wise, the old man is wise, there should be this meaning."

Yan Song smiled: "That's why I just asked you who is the closest person in this world. Sometimes the closest person is not father and son, but master and student!"

"The son takes the kindness of his parents for granted, and the disciple regards the kindness of the master as repayment. Shaohu, for the sake of the emperor, and for the sake of our great Ming country, this reform must be carried out, and it must be carried out well."

"Yan Shifan has selfish intentions and embarrassing the big responsibility. I can only rely on Hu Ruzhen to maintain it on my side, and Zhao Zhenji to maintain it on your side. What do you think?"

Xu Jie remained silent for a long time.

He dared not resist Jiajing.

Zhang Juzheng won the holy family by "spreading into the mu", and once he died in Qingliu.

In the coming storm, where will Xu Jie go?
Xu Jie nodded slightly.

Yan Song also breathed a sigh of relief, if a corrupt official is useless, he is really not far from death.Fortunately, he still has Hu Zongxian...
