In February of the 35th year of Jiajing, after Li Mo, the official secretary of the bureau, was dismissed from office, the Jiajing Emperor ordered the academician Li Ben to temporarily take charge of the bureaucratic affairs in accordance with the intention of Yan Song, the chief assistant of the cabinet.
On the fourth day of March of the same year, Li Benjing Yan Song secretly benefited, and inspected it under the supervision of the officials. He said: "The way to use people is to rebuke the dishonest, and to get rid of dishonest, we must first start with the minister.
Li Ben's plan was to use the officials to inspect officials as an excuse to root out dissidents for Yan Song's party.
In Li Benshu's submission, the Emperor Jiajing praised his loyalty and ordered him to distinguish between loyalty and traitor and decide whether to leave or stay.
Therefore, Li Ben played to Yan Song's instructions and wanted to reject dissidents, and inspected Shangshu, Shilang, Jiuqing, governor, and Du Yushi and other ministers.
Fifteen people including Yang Xingzhong, Shangshu from the Ministry of Civil Affairs of Nanjing, Ge Shouli, Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites of Nanjing, Tao Shangde from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of Nanjing, Ai Xichun from the Right of the Ministry of Justice, Zheng Datong from the Minister of the Right of Xingbu, and Guo Yun from the Ministry of Industry from the Left Ordered for official duties, or transferred to be used outside.
On the 7th day of March, Li Ben completely dismissed 38 branch officials. The censors retained for use each have forty sticks.
…
During this inspection, Li Ben colluded with Yan Song to practice his own personal gains and reverse the punishment and rewards.
Each other, whoever does not adhere to Yan Song, are completely rejected, so the public opinion is not equal.
This matter has become a big mess, and the public opinion of scholars all over the world is heated up.
Nowadays, all the important officials of the Qingliu are put to death by the strict party, and there are fewer and fewer people who are loyal in the DPRK and dare to speak. However, Emperor Jiajing stayed deep in the palace, devoted himself to practicing alchemy, and had no intention of caring about it.
On August 16, the 35th year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing asked Wu Shan and others about the ancient people's use of Ganoderma lucidum as medicine.
Wu Shan and others replied: "Eating for a long time is good for the body, but the method of taking it has not been passed down in the world."
The Emperor Jiajing sent an edict to collect Ganoderma lucidum and grass from the fairy mountain caves such as Yuanyue, Longhu, Sanmao, Qiyun and Wuyue, and visited the people.
At this time, Zhang Juyou, a citizen of Wanping County, collected five Ganoderma lucidum and presented them. The Emperor Jiajing was overjoyed and rewarded him with silver coins.
At this point, the people who offered the mushrooms came in an endless stream. On October 28th, 37th year of Jiajing, the Ritual Department reported: 1,864 copies of Ganoderma lucidum presented by the Quartet.
So the money was too expensive, and the Emperor Jiajing later ordered those with a diameter of more than one foot.
In the thirty-five years of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing was his father Rui Emperor, and his Shangdao title was "Three Heavens Jinque Supreme Jade Hall, Xuanyuan Moral, Zhehui Shengzun Kaizhen Renhua Great Emperor",
Its mother Taoist title is "The Queen of the Mother of God Xuanyuan, Moral, Zhehui, Master Xuanyuan, the Supreme Jade Hall of the Three Heavens".
Emperor Jiajing called himself "Lingxiao Upper Qing Dynasty Lei Yuanyang Miaoyifei Xuanzhen Monarch."
Later, it was added as "Nine Heavens Hongjiao Puji Living Spirit Palms Yin and Yang Gongguo Dao Siren Zijixian Weng Yiyang real person Yuan Xuxuan Ying Kaihua Fumo Zhongxiao Emperor"
This is not enough, plus the sign "Tai Shang Da Luo Tianxian Ziji Longevity Sheng Zhizhao Spiritual System ternary card Ying Yuxu general palm five thunder great real person Xuandu Realm Longevity Emperor".
Everyone who knows in the world feels laughed and laughed.
The Chao Gang is so confused and worried, hoping to meet the emperor face to face and speak directly to him.
However, Emperor Jiajing lived deep in the palace, ignoring the political affairs, and only three or two people could meet Emperor Jiajing, and these three or two, except for Yan Song, were Yan Song's sons or party members.
Old Xu Jie, another important court in the middle of Korea, was weaker towards Yan Song's Qiang, than Yan Song's first time to Xia Yan, even worse.
…
In this way, only Lu Bing held the power in the DPRK, and his holy favor was unfailing, and Yan Song and his son did not dare to commit crimes.
In March of the 35th year of Jiajing, a banquet for honoring scholars was held in the palace. According to the usual practice, guards in Jinyi should stand and line up on the west side.
The Emperor Jiajing specially ordered him to sit in the upper room because of Lu Bing, and his class was listed behind the second rank.
Some ministers in the DPRK saw this, knowing that only the Lu Mansion in the DPRK could guarantee safety, and they sought shelter with Lu Bing's subordinates. Yan Song felt a little unhappy, but dared not speak.
And Lu Bing has the right to go straight to Xiyuan, and even more so that some people who are loyal to the emperor and serve the country hope that Lu Bing can face the emperor and overthrow Yan Song.
However, in addition to staying deep in the mansion every day, Lu Bing is also guarding the Emperor Jiajing, which is unexpectedly rare.
At this time, where is Lu Bing caring about these things, his agent Jin Yiwei found traces of the White Lotus Sect.
Between Xinning, Xinhui, Xinxing, and Enping in Guangdong, there are high mountains and dangerous paths, which are the places where the Yao people live.
At that time, more than tens of thousands of people gathered to promote Chen to Ming as the main name, "Chengtian Hegemon", to robber Gao Yao, Yangjiang and other places, the official army entered the mountains to seek suppression, repeated battles were defeated.
Lu Bing's "message letter" found that Chen Yiming had a shadow of Bailian support behind him.
Lu Bing secretly planned to extinguish it, so as not to cause catastrophe.
In recent years, Lu Bing, because of Zhang Mo, always regarded the White Lotus Sect as the most important thing, and did not dare to relax his vigilance at all.
The deeper the White Lotus Sect was hidden, the more worried Lu Bing was. Zhang Mo and Bai Lianjiao did not appear every time, but big events would happen, indicating that their pictures are not small.
Now, the more calm you are, the more likely it will be as if it broke out.
In the spring of the 35th year of Jiajing, Lu Bing sent people to assist the governor of Guangdong Tan Kai, requisitioned a number of native soldiers to attack, beheaded Chen Yiming and his "Flying Tiger General" Wu Tingzhang, and commanded Bai Deyuan. As of November 22 of the same year, all were settled. A total of more than 550 people were captured before and after, and more than 2,500 people were listened to.
…
Lu Bing has Jin Yiwei in hand, and his thirteen Taibaos are all powerful figures in the world. They have always done great things for the emperor. They have made great contributions. They have been attached to hundreds of officials in the Central Committee. They have also worked with Huang Jin, the superintendent of the East Factory, and the eunuch of the Si Li Feng Bao's two eunuchs were close to each other. If Emperor Jiajing was a favorite of Yan Song, he was dependent on Lu Bing.
Yan Song is naturally aware of this, so he is also unwilling to do so, but is helpless.
However, the young and energetic Yan Shifan was quite dissatisfied.
The age difference between Yan Shifan and Lu Bing is not that big. At this time, in the government and the public, he called Yan Song privately as the "Great Prime Minister" and Yan Shifan as the "Little Prime Minister."
Although Yan Song was in power during the Jiajing dynasty, he was highly powerful, and he was also sinister and cunning, but he was a good husband in family life. He had a good relationship with his wife Ouyang, and there were no other concubines. The two had no other concubines. Two daughters and one son. That one is Yan Shifan Yan Donglou.
When Yan Song was appointed as the first assistant in Jiajing in 27th year, he was nearly seventy years old, and gradually became a little old, physically weak, and mentally tired. At this time, he still had to attend the emperor day and night, and he had no time and energy to deal with government affairs. If you need a ruling, rely on his son Yan Shifan.
Yan Song always said: "I will decide after I discuss the plan with the Donglou children." Even privately, Yan Shifan was directly valued and drafted on his behalf.
Voting is an important manifestation of the power of cabinet ministers, which means that the cabinet will give a reply after receiving the memorial, which will be reviewed and approved by the emperor. Yan Shifan's votes were intended to cater to the Jiajing Emperor's wishes, and he was awarded many times by the Jiajing Emperor.
