The four cabinet ministers came hand in hand, and from the momentum, there was already a feeling of overwhelming power.
They were almost the center of the current imperial court.
In other words, these four people represented the will of the entire government system.
To go against them is to go against the officials, big and small, who protect the world for the Ming Dynasty, and to go against the cornerstone of the empire's rule.
Jiajing's attitude was also very polite.
He treated the four teachers as disciples, listened seriously to their opinions and dissatisfaction with Huo Tao and others, and finally said: "Four dear friends, I understand what you said. .Although I am young, I am not a willful king. , and also knows how to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people.
The reason for publishing this chapter for discussion among ministers is not to form public opinion or to threaten anyone, nor is it to target anyone.
It is just that there are bandits in the north and Japanese troubles in the south. , in the southwest, there are still chieftains who occasionally rise up to rebel.
The court has a lot to do, and we have very little time.
But issues related to etiquette will arise once in a while, and then the court will become a mess.
What I want to do is to waste time once and for all. , through this official visit to the book, let all Everyone has the opportunity to speak, and they can also see others speak.
Once the truth is explained clearly, in the future, we are not allowed to waste time on this issue and discuss it over and over again.
It is better for us to be more tolerant now than to be trapped by these problems all the time. , I wonder what my mentor thinks.”
Yang Tinghe nodded, "What your Majesty said is indeed true.
I am just worried that some treacherous and unjust words will spread in the world and be misunderstood as meaning Long Live.
In the future, Yu Long Live's reputation will be hindered."
"My mentor is interested.
I think that civil and military officials in the court can still distinguish the right from wrong here, so we don't have to worry too much.
These days, this matter has caused a lot of trouble for several mentors.
This is my fault.
I am young and come from a small place in Anlu, so I don’t care about it in the palace.
After all, it is really beyond my ability to handle the government affairs of a country.
In the future, I will need a few assistants to make the court run smoothly.
Liang Qing, Mao Qing, and Jiang Qing, you three are all my teachers.
I won’t let you resign, this country cannot do without you.”
The atmosphere of the talks was unexpectedly harmonious.
Both sides revealed their trump cards to each other within a certain range and expressed their bottom line.
The emperor was indeed frightened by the cabinet and worried that because of his persistence, the cabinet would resign en masse and paralyze the entire empire.
Had to take a concession attitude.
This discussion among the ministers was just to finalize this matter and not mention it again in the future.
As for Huo Tao, Fang Xianfu and others who asked to honor the king as the emperor, they will not end well in the future.
After getting this result, Liang Chu and others were quite satisfied, but they also felt that their behavior seemed to be a bit bullying.
In the following talks, they also expressed their apologies to the emperor euphemistically.
As the emperor gets older, even if he does nothing, these ministers will gradually give him more respect, but the premise is that no one touches the bottom line.
After leaving the palace, several people arrived at the Yang Mansion.
A large number of Hanlin scholars and Liubu Hall officials had gathered in the Yang Mansion to express their opinions on the memorial, and they were quite excited.
Yang Tinghe appeased everyone and conveyed the situation of the meeting with the emperor.
These ministers were relieved and smiled on their faces.
When the last batch of guests were sent away, it was already dark.
Yang Tinghe returned to the study, sat on the Taishi chair and closed his eyes to rest.
After a long time, he looked back at Tan Fanghe, "Fanghe, I have a feeling that this time, We will lose."
"Teacher, Fanghe doesn't understand very well.
Now from the situation, we have an advantage.
Furthermore, the emperor has already promised my teacher.
As a ruler, you cannot renege on your word."

"This view does not apply to our emperor.
I have seen some clues in his behavior over the past few years.
If he confronts us tit for tat today and refuses to give in, it proves that he actually has no confidence.
We As long as he pushes forward, he will eventually retreat, but his attitude makes me believe that, He is showing weakness on purpose.
All our capital is on the table, but His Majesty still has extraordinary troops.
Yang Chengzu is a close official of the Emperor, and he should always be at the Emperor's side at this time, but I am not at the Qianqing Palace today.
I didn't see him.
If I thought it was correct, he was preparing his troops and getting ready to take them."
"Factory Guard" Tan Fanghe thought for a while, then shook his head, "If the factory guard is used, the momentum will be too huge.
What's more, this time is not a matter of one or two people, but a matter involving all officials in the court.
If When the factory guard arrests people, everyone will not sit back and watch.
Unless he arrests everyone and sends them to prison, by then, who will be doing anything for the emperor?"
"Yes, all along, if we want to restrain the emperor, the prerequisite is to be united.
The strength formed by everyone uniting can make even his majesty fear three points.
It is with this strength that we can share the world with the king. , to ensure that Jie does not appear King Zhou is acting recklessly.
But now, everyone is not united enough.
There will be many ministers like Gu Dingchen, Yan Song, Huo Tao, and Fang Xianfu.
When the number of ministers supporting the emperor reaches a certain level, the factory guards will not arrest people as much.
Too scrupulous.”
Tan Fanghe was silent for a while, "Teacher, Sheng'an and several classmates from the Hanlin Academy went to Fangsi.
The student was worried that Sheng'an had an impulsive temperament and would easily suffer losses.
If the factory guard really dared to arrest people, it would be difficult for him to stay out of it. , should I remind him not to participate?"
"I didn't remind Liang Weng and the others, so how could I make an exception for my son?"
Yang Tinghe opened his eyes, with some complicated emotions in his eyes.
"I tell you this because I hope you will inherit my mantle.
I am old after all, maybe someone I close my eyes one night and can no longer open them the next day.
I hope that after my death, someone will inherit my knowledge and my ambition.
Yes, but your temper is not stable enough to be a prime minister, and you cannot manage this country.
If I hadn't delayed you with your talent and learning, you would have been able to enter the Hanlin Academy long ago.
So, except for you, I am afraid.
I won’t tell anyone, and you don’t want to.
If you tell me, they may not listen.
After all, they all feel that they have won.
Anyone who comes out to throw cold water at this time is a public enemy.”
He looked out the window again, "You can't be a public enemy.
If you become a public enemy, you will have no friends, and you will not be able to do anything in the future.
Even if Huo Tao and the others win this round, it will still be a shame for the literati, and they will be considered as such in the future.
The first assistant is of no use.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were sages who talked about killing poison.
Husband, in fact, since that time, everyone has known that the most important thing for us scholars is not the family name, but the existence of the Tao, which is more important than the existence of a person or a court.
For important.
Even the emperor, if try to destroy the Tao, I We must also stand up and protect our own way.
This is the duty of scholars.
Of course, there is a price to pay for this.
Sheng'an is my son.

If he wants to protect it, he will pay a price.
In this way, if you pay a heavy price, I will certainly feel distressed.
But I will also cheer for him and thank God for giving me a good son.
And you will pass on the Tao for me and let more people come out to defend our Tao.
There is no superiority or inferiority between the two.
Anyway, just do your thing with peace of mind, which is the greatest comfort to me."
When Tan Fanghe retreated to Yang Tinghe full of thoughts, the chief assistant closed his eyes again.
Although he was tired, he was not sleepy.
There was only one thing thinking over and over in his mind.
Where is Yang Chengzu now, and where will he be?
