The next day, in the night palace, the candlelight flickered.
The Jiajing Emperor impatiently dealt with the memorials and cursed in his heart,""Why are there so many memorials? It's so annoying!”
Jiajing could be considered a rather peculiar emperor. He was very lazy, but he was very shrewd and had high methods. He could divide the ministers and consolidate his own imperial power. He could be considered the peak of the emperor's power in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.
However, he was only an expert in power struggles, not in governing the country, because he was too lazy and focused on cultivation.
"Is the pavilion elder still here?" Jiajing asked.
He didn't say which pavilion elder it was, but the people below already knew it was Yan Song.
"It should still be there." Eunuch Huang Jin said," Feng Bao just passed by and saw Grand Secretary Yan working.”
"Then call him over." Jiajing Road.
The eunuch went to call Yan Song. Jiajing continued to read the memorial. A new memorial fell into his hands. Qian Qianyi wrote an article to impeach Luo Longwen.
Qian Qianyi and Luo Longwen's information involuntarily surfaced. Wasn't Qian Qianyi the person who was constantly complaining about loyalty and patriots and impeaching others everywhere? He even occasionally wrote a letter saying (scolding) that he was the person who had spent so much effort and money collecting precious medicinal herbs for the sake of alchemy? What a chatterbox. This person was super annoying.
As for Luo Wenlong, he often offered him various precious herbs such as ginseng, fleeceflower root, and ganoderma lucidum. He also sent precious beasts from time to time, indicating that the heavens were affirming his rule of the world.
When the two of them compared each other, Jiajing suddenly wanted to kick Qian Qianyi to death.
……
At this time, Feng Bao came to the inner court to look for Yan Song.
"Grand Secretary Yan, His Majesty has summoned you, please leave.”
"Your Majesty is looking for me?" Yan Song was puzzled, but he still quickly tidied himself up and followed them out.
On the way, Yan Song looked at the little eunuch.""How should I address you, Eunuch?"
"My name is Feng Bao."
" Eh... Feng Bao..." Yan Song was slightly surprised. Wasn't Feng Bao the powerful eunuch of Emperor Longqing after Emperor Jiajing? That was a eunuch who was on the same level as Huang Jin.
However, Yan Song could not befriend Feng Bao. He was just a eunuch who had to look up to Yan Song. Even if Long Qing ascended the throne, it would be more than ten years later.
By then, Yan Song would no longer be playing with the Emperor.
Soon, Yan Song walked in quickly. After bowing, Jia Jing arranged a seat for him.
"Come, take a look at this memorial…"
Jiajing handed Qian Qianyi's memorial to Yan Song.
Yan Song knew that it was the memorial from this morning when he saw the beginning. He was delighted, but he still cautiously threw a mind-reading skill at Jiajing to prevent Jiajing from testing him.
Jiajing thought to himself, This Qian Qianyi is so annoying, humph!
Yan Song laughed in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. He said,"Your Majesty, this lowly official has already read this memorial. Because this lowly official recommended Luo Longwen to deal with the disaster, this lowly official cannot express his opinion.”
"Although Luo Longwen was incompetent, the disaster was too difficult…" Jiajing said.
Yan Song: " Your Majesty is wise. In fact, after Luo Longwen's sorting out, the disaster has been reduced. However, Qian Qianyi has always been dissatisfied with Luo Longwen's collection of precious medicinal herbs and the consumption of people's strength to present to Your Majesty. That's why he sent such a memorial. This has happened often in the past.”
Yan Song very cunningly pulled Jiajing up and made Qian Qianyi oppose Jiajing.
As expected, Jiajing was angry.”
Yan Song nodded." Of course it's true. Qian Qianyi and the other censors love to criticize His Majesty's various expenditures. However, these memorials have been withheld by me.”
Killing people was like this. In a few words, Jiajing was provoked by Yan Song.
"This detestable censor, I've always lived frugally, and even the Imperial Palace hasn't been repaired for more than ten years. Are these people going to stop me from cultivating the Great Dao?”
Jiajing was actually quite pitiful because the national treasury and palace treasury were so clean that rats could starve to death. Therefore, it was not a joke that the palace had not been repaired for more than ten years. Moreover, in terms of the expenses of the palace, it was very frugal. In the end, he was still constantly criticized by those Qingliu and Donglin Party for being extravagant.
This scapegoat was really powerful.
Jiajing: "These censors are too despicable. The most despicable one is this Qian Qianyi. Luo Longwen worked hard to save money for me. If it weren't for these loyal officials, he would have to borrow money for food…"(At this time, he looked at Yan Song with satisfaction and expressed his appreciation for Yan Song's ability to contribute money to him)
Yan Song heard this through the Mind Reading Technique and knew that the time was ripe. He just had to wait for Liu Ru to marry tomorrow.
"Your Majesty, although these people are annoying, I heard that they are all honest officials…"
"Honest official?"
Jiajing was at a loss for words. It would be difficult if he was an upright official.
……
……
The next day.
At night.
The tower is far better than Yichun Garden, and the lights are still the same as the city that never sleeps.
Tonight, those old drivers who often lingered in brothels in the capital were all excited and headed to Spring Breeze Restaurant in groups.
However, Spring Wind Building had always been hiding the top beauty, Liu Ru. Who was the one who won the first place? Would he have the chance?
Just thinking about it made him a little excited.
Qian Qianyi was rushing over with his servants and 250,000 yuan.
" Master, are we really going to..." The servant's mouth was trembling. Heavens, this was 250,000 yuan. Even in his hometown, he could have bought a thousand acres of fertile land. But Master actually said that he was going to spend it on a woman.
"Shut up, you've already said it dozens of times!”Qian Qianyi was actually very conflicted. After all, this was 250,000 yuan. However, when he thought of that traitor Yan Song buying Liu Ru to have fun in his house, Qian Qianyi felt as if his heart was burning.
"It's only 250,000! It's just some tricks!" Qian Qianyi's expression was ferocious.
Recently, natural disasters had been happening in Jiangnan, and countless people had died. Those empty fields naturally became ownerless. He had allied with the Donglin Party and negotiated with the merchants he was close to. As long as he did it properly, 250,000 was just a small number.
Qian Qianyi walked into Spring Breeze Restaurant with a ferocious look.
