Chapter 349 Situation

Chapter 3 49

The second year of Zhengde's New Year came quietly. In the sound of firecrackers, the officials and people of the Ming Dynasty temporarily forgot their troubles, put aside their troubles, and enjoyed the once festive days of the year. With the days of snow that stopped from time to set, the capital was also wrapped in silver and turned into a fairy tale world. The snow covered the sorrows and sorrows of the devastated Ming Dynasty, as if it had a chance to breathe.

For the officials of the Ming Dynasty, in the past two years since the arrival of the new emperor, everyone has had a certain judgment of the current situation.

The foreign court did not take any advantage in the struggle with the inner court. It wanted to take advantage of the new emperor's accession to weaken the inner court's strength and enable the young emperor Zhengde to act as expected by the foreign court, but the result was a great loss. A group of old ministers in the cabinet were deposed, the backbone was degraded, and some people were even lost because of it. Life can be said to be a great damage to vitality.

Moreover, Liu Jin's hand reached into the cabinet and controlled the two powerful government departments of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household, resulting in a large number of officials falling to the eunuchs in order not to be persecuted by Liu Jin, and made foreign civil officials sigh and weep.

Fortunately, there is still a mainstay in the cabinet. Li Dongyang endured humiliation and chose to stick to it in order to save the decadent situation of the foreign court. His proud disciple Yang Tinghe has gradually matured in the cabinet, and Wang Yu, a scholar of Wenyuange University, is also unswervingly standing firmly on the front line against Liu Jin; the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry and Li Although Liu Jin's forces have infiltrated the Ministry, the Ministry of Criminal Justice and other departments, the overall situation is still in the hands of the foreign court, and the situation is not irreparable.

Liu Jin's sitting position has a great relationship with Song Nan. For Song Nan, the foreign court's evaluation of him has always been at the two extremes of love and hate. If it hadn't been for this son's penetration, it might have been difficult for Liu Jin to have today's power; but if it hadn't been for this son's persuasion to retain Li Dongyang and give Li Dongyang the opportunity to take Yang Ting, Wang Lu and other direct ministers. Referred to the cabinet, the foreign court may be under the control of Liu Jin.

What's more, the relationship between Song Nan and Liu Jin has always been confusing and intriguing. The two have changed from anger to blatant opposition, and have also changed from cooperation to open and secret struggle with each other. Now, the foreign court has retreated to the second seat, and the banner against Liu Jin has let Song Nan carry it on its shoulders, which also makes people sigh at the impermanence of the world.

The foreign court is naturally happy to agree with this change. For the foreign court, Liu Jin and Song Nan are both enemies. The struggle between the two is also a dog biting dog after the power is too strong. Today, the foreign court's power is still difficult to deal with one of them, let alone confront the two at the same time. The best strategy is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that The two fight to the death.

Of course, in the arrogant heart of the civil servants of Daming, they are very annoyed by this feeling of being excluded and unable to control the situation. Once upon a time, the emperor had to look at the eyes of the civil servants, but now he has been marginalized and huddled in the corner to find opportunities, which is difficult to change psychologically. However, since Yang Tinghe entered the cabinet and gradually became the backbone of the people, it has become more practical.

Yang Tinghe decisively abandoned unnecessary pride and tried his best to deal with it to ensure that the foreign court could still exert influence. Even when necessary, Yang Tinghe chose to cooperate with Song Nan on the weak side to jointly suppress Liu Jin and maintain a balance of strength.

At this point, I have to say that Yang Tinghe is a person with vision and ideas, although Yang Ting and his heart. Song Nan, like Liu Jin, is a slang that must be eliminated, but this does not hinder the cooperation between him and Song Nan at the critical time.

The only thing that annoyed Yang Ting and his anger was that Song Nan was too thieves, and his benefits were always unexpected. Just like the last time Yang Yiqing's three-sided general system, the foreign court was originally ten or nine stable, but he was stirred by Liu Jin and had to choose Song Nan to work together to stir up the situation. In the end, he was benefited by Song Nan, which made Yang Ting happy. I didn't eat a few meals.

Before the New Year, the dramatic change in the inner court was eye-catching. Originally, after Song Nan showed weakness and was forced by Liu Jin to open the double office of the inner court, it had made officials think that Song Nan had fallen out of favor and was finally trampled by Liu Jin. In addition, several emergency meetings of the court thought that the matter had been unchangeable. Suddenly, there was a bolt from the clear sky, and all the people who split were young and confused. The emperor not only ordered to stop the west factory of the inner factory, but also Qian Ning, who was increasingly gaining power in the inner court, was killed for plotting. Dozens of the whole family were killed in the vegetable market. How could not make people shout surprise?

This incident also awakened all those who still despise Song Nan. Song Nan is by no means an easy person to turn over under such adversity. Since then, I'm afraid that no one can suppress him. In the future, I'm afraid Liu Jin will have to be afraid of Song Nan.

Understanding this did not make Yang Tinghe feel relaxed at all. He felt that it was not necessarily a good thing that Song Nan was more difficult to deal with than Liu Jin. Although Liu Jin is still strong on the surface, Song Nan's rise will be unstoppable. After this head-on game with Liu Jin, I don't know how many more admirers there will be under Song Nan's command. All officials who are dissatisfied with Liu Jin and even the eunuchs in the inner court may become Song Nan's subordinate forces. Originally, Song Nan had nearly 50,000 brocade guards, and the Jinyi guards commanders all over the Ming Dynasty. It's a headache enough. If he controls more officials, his horror will never be below Liu Jin.

Whoever is strong will be suppressed, and whoever is weak will help whom. This is a new pragmatic strategy formulated by Yang Ting and his heart. Although the foreign court is now declines, joining any party is enough to make the balance turn around. Everything should be put his own interests first. If Song Nan's power expands to threaten the survival of the foreign court, even if he cooperates with Liu Jin, Yang Ting He will never frown.

Song's house decorated with lanterns to celebrate the New Year. In the days before the festival, Song Nan fulfilled her promise. In the days before the annual leave, she did not go to the government office and stayed in the house to 'serve' the four wives of the family. Three of them were newly married. The tense situation during this period also affected the atmosphere of the newlyweds and was in danger. After the machine was lifted, Song Nan naturally had to compensate them well.

In addition to the various ** sports that are becoming more and more wasteful day and night, Song Nan also accompanied several ladies to buy new New Year's clothes, accompanied Song's mother and daughters to the temple to burn incense, and even cooked a meal for the whole family.

Everyone understands that Song Nan really compensates for the previous neglect, but these days, there is no owner of the family who cooks dishes. The dignified Ming Jinyiwei government departments are commanding to cook for his wife and concubines at home, and accompany his wife and concubines to go out to buy clothes and go shopping on the street. Isn't it ridiculous to spread out, so the women resolutely stopped Song Nan's further compensation. Action.

On the night of New Year's Eve, the whole family and young and Weizhou villagers held more than a dozen dinner tables in the main hall and the side hall. Mrs. Yang's mother and daughter, Uncle Zhong and others were invited to sit at the same table with the master of the Song family. The rest of the servants and maidservants and maidservants had their own banquets. They drank more than 20 jars of wine this night. It didn't disperse until midnight.

Song Nan and the little princess and Lu Qingli drank too much. Song Nan forced Dai Suer and Lu Qingli and Ye Fanggu to sleep together. The little princess actually joined Lu Qingli in the fun without a mother. Ye Fanggu and Dai Suer refused to obey anyway and were made ashamed and angry by Song Nan. The two women felt that Song Nan was breaking through the bottom line more and more. It was okay to put forward all kinds of unspeakable postures and requirements when they were having sex. Now they are thinking about being slept together. How can they allow him to fool around like this?

Fortunately, these three guys were very drunk. Soon after Ye Fanggu and Dai Suer coaxed and scared, they fell asleep. The two women quickly got out of their claws and rushed out of bed and went back to their rooms to rest. Song Nan and little princess Lu Qingli lay horizontally on the big**, folding their legs with each other. Personnel.

When Song Nan got up early in the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, Song Nan, Uncle Li Daniu and others opened the door to burn incense to welcome the God of Wealth. The women of the Song family were all dressed beautifully and worshipped the ancestors of the Song family under the leadership of Song's mother and sent out red envelopes. After breakfast, Song Nan came back from a short imperial meeting and took the women in the backyard. Set up a long banquet to drink and play.

Everyone was happy to eat and drink. Song Nan found that Yang Koer was not present and quickly asked, "Why didn't Miss Yang come?"

Wan'er said, "Just now, the maidservant went to invite me. Mrs. Yang and Miss Yang were sitting in the room crying, and the maidservant was not embarrassed to disturb them."

Song Nan was surprised: "Why did you shed tears during the Spring Festival?"

Aunt Ye Fang glanced at him and said, "The family can't be reunited. It's natural to be sad on New Year's Day. Just order people to send some fruit points. Don't disturb them."

Song Nan thought about it and said, "I'll go and have a look."

The women threw a pile of sanitary balls. Song Nan said, "Lord Yang can't go back to Beijing in the northwest. If you ask me to take care of his wife and daughter, we have to do our best to take care of them, otherwise won't we be entrusted?"

The women muttered in their hearts: It's true to take care of them, but Miss Yang follows you as a little tail every day. This is not a matter. It's okay if you don't know how to avoid suspicion. They are the daughter of the three-sided chief producer. If something really happens, they can't end it.

But Song Nan's statement was magnificent, and everyone couldn't refute it. They just watched him go out of the door. As soon as the little princess pouted, the fat maidservant ran to keep an eye on her with her waist. The women were suddenly in a good mood. There was the little princess, the vinegar jar, and there was no need for others to worry about. Soon, they looked at each other and smiled. Back Garden There was another burst of laughter.
