In the residence of Yang Tinghe, the cabinet minister in the capital.
"Ahem!"
Yang Tinghe coughed in pain, and the pain made him look very painful.
The whole person also looked very thin, his hair was as dry as straw, and even his beard was gray and dry, but his eyes were bright and bright.
"Change, I have to go to court."
Yang Tinghe worked hard to calm down the pain in his body and struggled to go to court.
It took a lot of effort to reach the position of cabinet minister, and finally returned to the center of power. However, he was already old, and he happened to encounter Liu Jin, a stumbling block, blocking his path to becoming a powerful minister.
However, he did not admit defeat, and he could not let go of the power in his hands. This thing is really addictive. Once you are addicted to it, few people can quit it.
In history, Yang Tinghe insisted on fighting with the young Emperor Jiajing because of his greed for power. Who knew that Emperor Jiajing was not a soft persimmon, and he was very capable in fighting wits and courage.
The so-called "great etiquette" dispute is superficially a matter and debate about whether to posthumously crown Emperor Jiajing's biological father, Prince Xingxian, as emperor. But in fact, it is a struggle for court power, a struggle between the young Emperor Jiajing and his powerful minister Yang Tinghe. .
Yang Tinghe wanted to tell the world through this incident that he still had the final say in the Ming Dynasty, and he still wanted to use the excuse of the emperor's young age to continue to control the government.
But he obviously underestimated Emperor Jiajing, and was also limited by the system of the Ming Dynasty. Even powerful ministers or eunuchs like Niu Shangtian could not shake the status of the emperor.
The final result was that Yang Tinghe was defeated. Of course, he was bound to lose, because under the Ming Dynasty's system, he could not defeat the emperor.
Of course, there are many people in unofficial history who say that Wu Zong¡¯s death is inextricably linked to Yang Tinghe, saying that Zhu Houzhao died of illness after falling into the water when he was young. There are many strange things in this.
Of course, this is unofficial history and there is no real evidence, but it is clearly recorded in history books that Emperor Jiajing has been suspicious since he ascended the throne.
Sometimes it is difficult for future generations to know what the true meaning of history is.
But in many ways, Yang Tinghe is a person who is more greedy for power.
Even though he is seriously ill now, he still insists on going to the morning court and participating in important court affairs.
¡°Father, you are already so ill, so it¡¯s better not to go to court.¡±
When Yang Shen saw that his father was already seriously ill and still insisted on going to court, he quickly tried to persuade him.
"well!"
Hearing Yang Shen's words, Yang Tinghe sighed heavily, and then lay down helplessly on his bed.
This sigh expressed countless helplessness and regret.
"I just wanted to give you a hand while I'm still alive."
Yang Tinghe looked at his son.
¡°I have no hope of becoming the chief minister of the cabinet in this life, but my son Yang Shen still has great hope.
Yang Shen, who is only in his thirties, has reached the first place in the imperial examination. At such a young age, he is already a fourth-grade prefect, and he has been working for several years. He can definitely be promoted to a higher level.
If we can mention it to a higher level, it would be a third-grade official or a feudal official. After a few years, you can return to the capital and serve as the Minister of the Sixth Ministry. After a few more years, there is no problem in joining the cabinet when you have the opportunity. of.
Liu Jin joined the cabinet when he was in his thirties and became the chief minister of the cabinet. If his son is no worse than him, he can do the same.
"But compared to Liu Jin, Yang Shen only lacked the appreciation of the emperor, so he was not promoted as fast as Liu Jin. Liu Jin was promoted by rocket, but Yang Shen was not slow either. After all, he was the number one scholar.
The number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty was treated very favorably, and they were promoted much faster than ordinary people.
"Father, I hope you can live a long life!"
Yang Shen burst into tears. Originally, he was still working as a prefect in another place.
Since Emperor Hongzhi reformed the talent selection system of the Ming Dynasty, all high-ranking officials must have experience in governing local areas. Therefore, the former Hanlin Academy officials, after editing and compiling books in the Hanlin Academy, were also sent to local governments one after another. Be an official.
Yang Shen is no exception. Relying on the relationship between his father Yang Tinghe, he was assigned to a very good place - Songjiang Mansion!
Songjiang Prefecture may have been just an ordinary state capital in the past, nothing special, but in recent years, it has been accompanied by the rapid rise and rapid development of Songhu.
Songjiang Mansion alsoLiu Jin has a good relationship with Liu Jin, but he has never been promoted. This is Liu Jin's employment criteria.
"Yes, I will devote my whole heart to serving as an official from now on."
Yang Shen looked at his father, thought about it and said as if he had made up his mind.
"Hmm~"
"You should learn more from Liu Jin. Although I am a conservative official, I still admire him very much."
"Always remember that as an official, you will benefit one party, seek benefits for the people, and do practical things!"
Yang Tinghe nodded with satisfaction, and then warned that the conservative faction must have no future, so they should switch to the practical faction.

"Yes, father!"
Yang Shen nodded solemnly.
While the two were discussing, someone hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty is seriously ill!"
"What?"
"Your Majesty is seriously ill?"
When the two of them heard this, they were immediately dumbfounded. Emperor Hongzhi had always been in good health, so how could he suddenly become ill when he was so good?
