Why did Jiajing indulge Yan Song so much?

This is really hard to understand. In history, Yan Song was impeached when he was in power. It was impossible for Yan Song to buy and sell official positions. Jiajing could not have known it. However, Jiajing was just blindly indulging and indulging without principles!

What exactly did Jiajing think?

There is a passage that is said to be said by Jiajing himself, roughly as follows.

The ancients called a certain river a river and a certain river a river.

The water of a certain river is clear, the water of a certain river is turbid, the river is flowing, and the river is flowing.

The ancients said: A saint comes out and a certain river is clear, but when will a certain river pass?

The water from a certain river irrigates the fields of several provinces on both sides of the strait, and the water from a certain river irrigates the fields of several provinces on both sides of the strait. It can only be used indirectly because of the clear water, and can only be used indirectly because of the turbid water. This has been the case since ancient times.

Once a certain river floods, it needs to be managed. On the contrary, once a certain river floods, I also need to be managed.

Jiajing means using a certain river to describe the clear stream in the court, and using a certain river to describe the corrupt officials in the court. His idea is really strange. How can the objects of "irrigation" of the clear stream and corrupt officials be the same?

No matter how unbearable the Qingliu is, at least they fight for power for the country and the people. At least, on the surface, they all say that no matter how much they pretend, they have to rely on this direction.

What is the purpose of corrupt officials fighting for power? They are purely for satisfying personal interests and for greed for money!

When did they use the corruption income on national affairs, when did they use the corruption income on the people? They are all corrupt and abused for their own good!

Sometimes, although Qingliu is useless, they are at least frugal and will not plunder the people's wealth and ointment. At least the people can keep their food.

The more powerful the corrupt officials are, the more amazing they are. They have plundered all the money and ointments. What do the people eat and wear?

Just like Yan Song, he was greedy for countless amounts of money. Yan Shifan, Zhao Wenhua, Yan Maoqing, Yuan Yingshu, etc. Everyone said that they had greedy for him millions of taels of silver. The income from his corruption was probably more than tens of millions of taels. However, the court had no money to fight, so did he pay the money?

The military expenditure required at that time was only more than one million taels, and he could "make it up" with just one excuse. However, he would rather change rice into mulberry and occupy all the arable land that the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang can survive, so that all the people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have no food to eat than pay a tael of silver!

Therefore, it is a false proposition to use clear streams and corrupt officials as metaphors. The water of a certain river and a certain river only looks turbid and different. Their functions are still the same, and they can irrigate fertile fields on both sides of the straits. The "functions" of clear streams and corrupt officials are completely different.

Qingliu’s purpose is to practice frugality and seek welfare for the people. The purpose of corrupt officials is to make money and enjoy wealth and honor on their own. How can the two be confused?

Jiajing had a river in his mind, and it was only when the water was severely flooded, so he came up with such a ridiculous metaphor!

In fact, Jiajing was just quibbling about his absurd behavior. One reason why he was so indulged in Yan Song was probably the most important.

Because Yan Song fully supports him in practicing the way of immortality!

There were few civil and military officials in the court who supported him in practice. Only Yan Song not only supported him, but also kept writing lyrics for him and helping him in practice. Such support may be the fundamental reason for Yan Song's long-term favor.

What is Jiajing's main purpose of being the emperor for more than 40 years?

He is mainly practicing the way of immortality, not governing the country!

Practicing the way of immortality is far more important than governing the country in his mind. This is also the fundamental reason why all the civil and military officials in the court tried hard to impeach Yan Song. The alchemist Lan Daoxing casually wrote the spirits several times, and said Yan Song several bad words in the tone of heaven, and Yan Song fell into trouble.

In other words, no matter how corrupt Yan Song was, Jiajing didn't care much. As long as Yan Song could fully support him in his cultivation, it would be fine. However, once the spirit writing showed the "will of God" and said that Yan Song was not a good thing, then Yan Song would be finished!

Yang Cong really didn't expect that he had been busy for nearly two months and prepared a box of confessions, which made Yan Song take the lead in corruption so clearly that Jiajing had not dealt with Yan Song yet.

Jiajing didn't even want to deal with Yuan Yingshu. He just ordered Yang Cong to arrange for someone to escort Yuan Yingshu and other corrupt officials back to Beijing and hand them over to the Ministry of Justice, Censorate, and Dali Temple Three Courts for trial.

This is clearly meant to let Yuan Yingshu go. Although the Censorate is under the control of Zhang Yue, the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple are basically determined by Yan Song's party. Two to one, and the final result can be imagined.

Jiajing was so confused that Yang Cong was so disgusting. Yang Cong couldn't figure it out even though he thought about it. He couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head. What should he do?

Sometimes, once a person can’t figure it out, he will do stupid things, and Yang Cong is no exception.

Damn, you disgusting people, right? I disgusting you too.

He decided to disgust Jiajing!

As for how I disgusted Jiajing, I was naturally making a fuss about money.

When he submitted the memorial, he did not mention the dirty silver that was confiscated, because the emperor's decree was generally required to confiscate the homes of officials. Although he was the governor of the five provinces and represented the emperor, it was still illegal to order the homes of so many officials without permission.

He originally wanted to wait for Jiajing to issue an order to deal with these corrupt officials, and then lied that he was the home of these corrupt officials who had been copied after receiving the order, and then handed over all the dirty silver he had copied to the court. However, now he doesn't think so.

Damn, I want you to give you all the dirty silver I copied?

dream!

After receiving the imperial edict, he began to interrogate the corrupt officials, the first one was Yuan Yingshu.

Yuan Yingshu was almost so angry that he was bleeding because he had lost his sentence since Yang Cong ordered him to be locked up last time. In the next two months, Yang Cong hadn't even looked at him, let alone interrogated him.

After being locked up for two months for no reason, anyone will be angry, so when Yang Cong mentioned him to the court, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and said, "A man surnamed Yang, do you think that being a governor can be lawless? You dare to detain me for so long for no reason!"

Yang Cong glanced at him lightly, then said seriously: "You are Roaring Court, do you know? According to the law, I can order someone to drag you out and hit the 20-plate board!"

Damn, this guy is still so cruel!

When Yuan Yingshu heard this, he couldn't help but tremble and beat the board. That was not a joke. It was chilling to think about it.

This guy seems to be determined to deal with him. If he doesn't know the truth again, he will be stupid.

Forget it, just a few words of cursing can make you feel happy. But your butt is broken and it is not worth it. He simply shut up and said nothing.

Seeing that this guy was honest, Yang Cong said slowly: "I will tell you solemnly that the court has verified your corruption and abuse of power. The emperor issued an order to escort you back to the capital for trial."

ah!

Yuan Yingshu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

How is it possible? Yang Cong has not tried him since that arrest, nor has he explained anything. How could he be guilty of corruption and abuse of power?

He couldn't help asking, "You, you are not trying to deceive me, are you?"

Yang Cong said disdainfully: "Is it necessary for me to punish you? In a few days, I will arrange someone to escort you to the capital for trial. What's the point of punishing you?"
