At this moment, Yangming's lineage can't even slap Xia Yan's party, because the Xia Yan's party is too powerful in the court. Almost all the cabinet, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Censorate are under their control, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a powerful government and the country.

Of course, it is not that all the yamen in the court are under their control. Many of the big bosses in other yamen are not from Xia Yan's party, but they do not dare to offend Xia Yan's party. Therefore, when the Yangming lineage argues with Xia Yan's party, it still seems a little lonely.

Jiajing naturally knew this. He seemed to listen carefully to the opinions of important officials of the court, and then concluded: "Well, no matter what, Liu Tianhe did not defend the Great Wall of Datong Town and allowed the Tatars to break into Datong Town. This is a fact. As a governor of a town, he deserves punishment."

When Xia Yan heard Jiajing say this, his brows slightly raised.

Hehe, even if you are the emperor, you cannot act arbitrarily. The current court is my world. So what if it is a court discussion? As long as Yan Song doesn’t make any mistakes, you still have to listen to me.

He was obviously already a little bit powerful. If he had not had to maintain the superiority of the monarch and his subjects on the surface, he would have been flirting with all his elegance.

Yan Song had no special expression. His serious face was so serious that those who didn't know thought he was a selfless wise minister.

The expressions of the Yangming officials were richer, and they also knew that they were all Xia Yan's party in the court at this time. When the emperor proposed the court's proposal, the result seemed to be destined, and they felt like they were struggling dyingly.

Alas, even if you struggle dyingly, you can't change this result.

At this moment, their faces couldn't help but show a hint of reluctance, unrestrainedness, and even humiliation.

Jiajing then said: "If you have any mistakes, you must be punished. This time, Datong Governor Liu Tianhe dereliction of duty, so that the Tartars rampant in Datong Town for two days, so he was demoted to the right son of the Zhanshifu Youchunfang. Other generals from Datong Town all retained the two levels to show punishment."

As soon as he said this, he was wrong and did not turn Xia Yanlei down. He agreed to dismiss his post and investigate and arrest him and then arrest him. He was tried by the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate.

Jiajing's meaning is actually to adopt the suggestions of the Yangming lineage and to repay the merits. Otherwise, the crime of losing the border town would at least be dismissed from office. The punishment of demotion by two levels can be said to be irrelevant. After all, Liu Tianhe is still in the officialdom and still has hope of making a comeback in the future.

When the Yangming family heard this, they were also very ruthless. The emperor said something was a bit inconsistent. They thought they had lost to Xia Yan's party, but they never thought that the emperor was breathing heavily and finally stood on their side again.

Of course, Jiajing's decision cannot be said to be completely on the side of the Yangming lineage. If he was completely on the side of the Yangming lineage, he would not have criticized Liu Tianhe. He felt a bit mixed.

Your Xia Yan party said that you would punish Liu Tianhe, right? OK, I will punish him and demote him by two levels in a row.

Your Yangming lineage says that Liu Tianhe has made achievements, right? OK, then you will get rid of his merits and let Liu Tianhe continue to be an official in the court.

The Yangming family naturally accepted this result with pleasure. Although Xia Yan was not happy, it was hard to refute it. After all, Jiajing had already punished Liu Tianhe. If he jumped out and insisted on dismissing Liu Tianhe's post and investigating it, that would be a bit too much. What a grudge, you have to kill people like this!

Although he is arrogant, he is not a naughty man. He still knows the rules in the officialdom. When there is no deep hatred between the two sides, it is best to stop at the right time and stay at the forefront of everything. We can meet each other in the future. If we really do things, not only will Liu Tianhe be jealous of him for the rest of his life, but other officials will also be afraid to alienate him because of this.

Everyone actually knows that he has no deep hatred with Liu Tianhe, and the reason why he punishes Liu Tianhe is mainly because of Yang Cong.

Now the emperor has already opened his mouth. He wants to bite Liu Tianhe again, and he is also suspected of bullying the emperor in person. He will not do such a stupid thing.

Although he had already despised Jiajing in his heart, the superficial monarch and ministers still had to maintain their superiority.

He could only grit his teeth, keep silent, and endure it.

As for Yan Song, he was much more energetic than Xia Yan. He knew Jiajing's temperament the most. Not only did he not show any dissatisfaction, but instead bowed in convincingly: "The emperor is wise."

Jiajing nodded, took on the flattery, and then continued: "If you have any mistakes, you will have to punish me, and if you have any merits, you will have to reward me."

Speaking of this, Jiajing deliberately paused.

He organized the court discussion today, not mainly for Liu Tianhe's affairs, but for the affairs of Hou Qiuluan and Yang Cong, Xianning.

The reason why he brought up Liu Tianhe's affairs to the court for discussion was actually a trick to attack the west. His intention was that the court had discussed the matters in the northwest, and the people who should be punished should be punished. The ones who have made contributions should be rewarded in the future.

If he had proposed the reward from the beginning, the ministers would probably have strongly opposed it. Now the punishment has been decided. Besides, the rewards would have been difficult for the ministers to object, at least that's what he thought.

When the ministers heard this, they all showed a slight shock, but no one jumped out to object.

After all, rewards and punishments are the way to deal with things. Everyone can’t ask the emperor to just punish and not reward. Isn’t that a problem?

Seeing that no one was yelling, Jiajing slowly said: "Qiuluan, the Hou of Xianning, repelled the Tatar army twice, and made great contributions. He was specially promoted to the Prince's Shaobao and the Governor of the Three Borders."

This result was not beyond everyone's expectations. After all, during this period, the officialdom in the capital was circulating in the matter of Hou Qiuluan in Xianning. Although most people knew that someone was building momentum for Hou Qiuluan in Xianning, and they felt a little shameless, they also knew that Xia Yan's party was building momentum for Hou Qiuluan in Xianning. No matter how shameless the others were, no one could stop the road to promotion and wealth in Xianning.

Jiajing promoted the Xianning Hou Qiuluan to the Prince's Young Guardian, and everyone could barely accept the result. Although the Prince's Young Guardian sounded very awesome, in fact, this was just a false position, just to give Xianning Hou Qiuluan a civil official title to serve as the Three-Wide Governor, there seemed to be nothing else.

The Xianning Hou Qiuluan was originally a three-sided general system. If the prince Shaobao was appointed as the three-sided governor, he actually changed the soup and didn’t change the medicine. His power basically did not change, but it just sounded a little awesome.

The promotion of the Xianning Hou Qiuluan was passed silently. Immediately afterwards, Jiajing continued: "Yang Cong, the governor of Xuanfu, defeated the Tatar army twice, and achieved amazing results and made outstanding achievements. He was specially promoted to the Minister of War and Governor of Xuanda!"

"Om", as soon as he said this, the ministers were obviously disturbed. Everyone knew that the emperor liked to promote randomly, but no one expected that Yang Cong had been promoted to the governor of the Xuanfu less than a year, and was promoted to the Minister of War and Governor of Xuanda!

Should this be opposed?

Of course, Xia Yan and Yan Song wanted to object, but they stood there embarrassedly, not knowing how to speak because they couldn't find a suitable reason.

Just now, when Jiajing said that they were promoted to Hou Qiuluan of Xianning, they didn’t speak. Now that Yang Cong and the others are opposed, what’s the reason?

Everyone understands it very well. If you want to compare merits, Yang Cong is more than ten times stronger than Xianning Hou Qiuluan. Shouldn’t he be rewarded? Shouldn’t he be promoted?

For a moment, no one could come up with a reason to object, and this matter was decided!
