Chapter 472 Pleading
Through the hazy tears, Yang Yiqing saw Yang Tinghe's white hair and wrinkles all over his face, and saw his equipped expression.This Yang Shoufu has been in the cabinet for so many years, and the heavy affairs have drained his energy.

Speaking of which, Yang Tinghe is not as old as Yang Yiqing, but why is he so old?
How could Yang Yiqing not understand his good intentions: "But... just let those silverfishes go like this, where is the justice, where is the law of the Great Ming?"

Yang Tinghe shook his head again and again, how could he not know that the country is in danger if the officials are not clear.At the beginning, when Emperor Jiajing first succeeded to the throne, Yang Tinghe also thought about eliminating a group of inactive officials, simplifying the organization, improving efficiency, and reducing the burden on the central government.However, in practice, it turns out that it is almost an impossible task.

At the time of the Dali Conference, Yang Tinghe relied on the strength of the entire civil service system to defeat the emperor.At this time, mentioning the abolition of officials is undoubtedly destroying this civil servant group that has been in operation for many years.Political turmoil is inevitable, and national turmoil is inevitable.In this way, he could only give up.Every advantage has its disadvantages, everything can't be perfect, let's support it day by day.

Yang Tinghe also felt a little emotional, took a deep breath, and gave up trying to persuade Yang Yiqing: "Ying Ning, I'm planning to submit my resignation to His Majesty in two days. The head of the official. At that time, the cabinet will definitely recruit new people. According to the procedure, hundreds of officials need to be nominated. Zhai Luan has enough qualifications and abilities, so there is no suspense in joining the cabinet. In this way, the cabinet will be headed by you, with Zhai Luan as the assistant. It has been set up. However, Jiang Mian is also old, and it is estimated that he will retire together. In this way, the cabinet needs to be supplemented by one or two people. Who do you think is suitable? If there is a suitable candidate, you may wish to recommend it to His Majesty. Recommended by the officer."

Seeing Yang Tinghe talking about such an important matter, Yang Yiqing calmed down and stopped entangled in the Hegong case. After thinking for a while, he replied: "As far as the current situation is concerned, there are three people who meet the requirements for joining the cabinet: Yang Shen, Sun Dan, and Wang Yuanzheng. Against it, I am going to ask the ministers to make a public nomination, and let these three people join the cabinet together."

"Yang Shen failed."

"Shoufu, you can't avoid relatives if you move inside."

"That's not what it means." Yang Tinghe said: "My son is very stubborn, and he can't be a paper poster."

"The first assistant is worried about the great etiquette, His Majesty will hold grudges."

Yang Tinghe didn't nod or shake his head, just said: "He is not suitable."

"So, what about Sun Dan? Although he lacks qualifications, he is extremely capable and has a high reputation. It is the time for the country to employ people, and they can use them exceptionally."

"Your Majesty will not agree."

"Why, isn't Sun Jingyuan an old man from His Majesty Long Qian?" Yang Yiqing was surprised.

Yang Tinghe still did not answer this question, but murmured: "The situation is changing suddenly, and heavy rain is about to come. Sun Jingyuan may not be able to pass through this pass safely."

"Why did you say that?" Yang Yiqing was even more surprised, asking incessantly.

Yang Tinghe pointed to Dongfang without speaking.

Yang Yiqing's expression changed drastically: "East Palace?"

Yang Tinghe then said: "Whether it's the Hegong case or the future cabinet candidates, it's not the point. The East Palace is the major event involving the entire court. Ying Ning, let's just leave the Hegong case alone. Don't pursue it. So many officials, if they all fall, Where can we find so many people to fill the vacancy? Also, so much money fell into the hands of Huang Jin and Concubine Zhang, if the investigation continues... Ying Ning, you will be regarded as part of Queen Chen's party."

He burst into tears, stood up, and gave a deep bow: "Ying Ning, when there is a battle for the crown prince, I don't know how many people will fall, not only what will happen. If you fall on this matter, the situation in the court will be ruined." , who can support it, relying on Zhai Luan alone? For the sake of the country, I don't want this old face today. Ying Ning, for the sake of the past, I personally beg you, don't worry about it anymore. The country can't be chaotic, The imperial court cannot be chaotic." His tears could not stop falling.

"Shoufu, you killed me." Yang Yiqing stomped his feet again and again: "This Sun Dan, I thought he was an upright gentleman. But when you think about it carefully, from Emperor Wuzong's dragon Yubintian to the new king's succession, the big gift In any case, which one does not have his shadow? This person is a scourge, and such a person must never be admitted to the cabinet."

……

At this moment, in Sun Dan's mansion, Chen Rong, Feng Zhen, Han Yue, the magistrate of Fangshan County, Wang Gu and Sun Jia, the leaders of the Cao Gang, all came, which made Sun Dan feel very strange.These few people are his confidantes, and they are the representatives of Sun Dan's three forces: officialdom, shopping malls, and rivers and lakes.

Seeing Han Yue's deep affection and seriousness, Sun Dan turned and walked towards the study: "Let them all come in."

Everyone entered the study one after another. Sun Jia was originally Sun Dan's cousin, and there was nothing to be polite about when they met, so they went straight to Sun Dan's side.She is now the big treasurer of the property under Sun Dan's name, and the leading God of Wealth in the two capitals. After several years of experience, she has a certain style.Moreover, for the convenience of walking outside, she always dresses up in men's clothes, sitting next to Sun Dan at this moment, she looks like a handsome scholar.

As for Chen Rong, a nerd, besides being the same age as Sun Dan, he is also Empress Chen's cousin. He didn't feel restrained when he saw Sun Dan, so he said, "Let's talk about it." He walked to Sun Dan's bookshelf He began to look for the Song Edition books collected by Sun Danzhen, and while reading them, he shouted: "Huangshan Valley, Huangshan Valley, you even have his original works. Jingyuan, you spent a lot of money, can you transfer it to me? "It turned out that the "Diamond Sutra" he found was written by Huang Tingjian himself, which is very precious.

Sun Dan was very troubled by his surprise. In fact, even if there was something important, this idiot would not have any ideas.He said, "If you like it, you can take it. It's not worth a lot of money."

"That's great, thank you very much. I don't want your things for nothing. I heard that you like to collect famous calligraphy and paintings. I got a pair of Fan Kuan's landscapes from my empress the day before yesterday and exchanged them with you. By the way, my empress gave it back to me. I will also give you some of her paintings of flowers and birds."

Sun Dan smiled secretly: "Of course I like Fan Kuan's landscapes, let's forget about Empress Chen's paintings."

Han Yue and Feng Zhen were originally Sun Dan's bodyguards and attendants. They had been together for a long time, and they would not be restrained at the moment. But when did Wang Gu see a high-ranking official and a famous person like Sun Dan, standing there nervously, only feeling My mouth was dry and my palms were full of sweat.

Looking at the knife next to him, it trembled as if it was swinging.

"I've met Mr. Sun." Wang Gu took a step forward and knelt down to Sun Dan with his apprentice, about to kowtow.

Sun Dan helped him up: "Master Wang, you don't need to be polite, you are also a big gang leader with a command of 10 people, don't just kowtow when you see people, get up and sit and talk."

Wang Gu was still very nervous: "In front of the adults, there is no place for the villains to sit." Indeed, although he is the leader of a big gang, his status is low, even if he is a small county magistrate, if he is captured, he will be killed He took it.
