Jiajing is really easy to fool, especially close ministers like Yan Song who have won his favor. If you want to fool him, it is as easy as drinking porridge.

In history, Yan Song was the only one who was a good player. He fooled Jiajing for more than 20 years, enjoyed all his glory, and was also greedy for countless wealth.

Unfortunately, there is another Gu Kexue now, or Yang Cong. It seems that it is not that easy for him to fool Jiajing.

Last time, he was almost implicated because of the Zhao Wenhua case. He finally sold his godson Zhao Wenhua, and then he cut off his relationship and regained Jiajing's trust.

This time, Tu Dashan came again. Yang Cong even said that Tu Dashan bribed Yan Song to obtain support. Can he get rid of it?

Regardless of whether he can get rid of the relationship or not, at least his image in Jiajing's heart will be greatly reduced.

Corrupt officials have been involved in him again and again, and it would be strange if Jiajing didn't have any grudges towards him.

Yang Cong didn't think he could pull him off in one fell swoop, because Yang Cong knew very well that as long as Jiajing didn't feel disgusted with him, his position would be as stable as Mount Tai.

If you want to pull him off, Jiajing's attitude is the key. As for the crime, the crime, etc., it is useless.

Therefore, Yang Cong disgusted him in front of Jiajing as soon as he saw the opportunity, and slowly sucked Jiajing's favor for him. He believed that if this continues, one day, Jiajing would become bored with him, and by then, he would be finished.

This time, Tu Dashan, a treacherous villain, was related to Yan Song again, and Jiajing was really dissatisfied with him.

What's going on with you every day? Why didn't you see any capable officials involved in your relationship? Instead, those corrupt officials all regard you as their backers. How much are you greedy?

Could it be that you are really the backer of these corrupt officials?

Jiajing looked at Tu Dashan's confession and felt the urge to curse.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then waved his hand and said, "Okay, leave the confession, you can retreat first."

Gu Kexue didn't say much and just stepped back, but Jiajing sat there blankly and fell into deep thought.

Is there really a problem with Yan Song?

He was stunned for a while before he said to the door: "It is said that the cabinet chief Yan Song came to see him."

Yan Song has not been in a good mood these days. Zhao Wenhua is following his wishes and is honestly dying, but he can't feel relieved at all.

This guy Yang Cong is not a good deal. He went to the southeast, and the weather was about to change again.

To be honest, he doesn't value the profits of maritime trade, because the wealthy maritime merchants themselves can't make much money. Compared with the salt-induced income, that little money is nothing at all.

If he really values ​​the benefits of maritime trade, he would not let the wealthy maritime merchants act as agents. He is not without people under his command. If the benefits of maritime trade could be greater than salt, he would have sent someone to take over.

What he valued was the strength of the Southeast's official families. You should know that in the entire Ming Dynasty, except for Jiangxi, had the most officials from the southeastern provinces. It can be said that if you control the Southeast, you will control most of the officials of the court. These officials have a considerable influence in the court.

Originally, after Zhao Wenhua was in charge of the southeast, many of the Southeast's official families had begun to change their ranks and turned to him. However, when Yang Cong went there, those guys might have to blow the wind on both sides and turn to him. This is what he was most worried about.

How to deal with this?

He came to the Ganqing Palace with all his thoughts, and did not notice that Jiajing's vision of him was a little different from the past.

After the monarch and ministers met, Jiajing suddenly asked inexplicably: "Youzhong, can you know Tu Dashan, Governor Yingtian?"

Yan Song was stunned when he heard this.

He didn't know that Tu Dashan had been caught by Yang Cong, because Yang Cong was moving too fast and the news was blocked relatively strictly. The inns in the southeast were monitored by him, and the documents that were urgently urgently received by 800 miles had to be inspected. Therefore, it would take several days for the news of Tu Dashan's arrest to reach his ears.

Why did Jiajing suddenly ask about this?

He thought about it and then said carefully: "I have seen this man Tu Dashan several times when I was in Nanjing. If you want to know him, you are an official in Nanjing, so you naturally know him, but you are not very familiar with him."

What Yang Cong said seems to be very different from what he said.

Upon hearing this, Jiajing asked again: "What do you think of the so-called maritime wealthy families?"

What does this mean?

When Yan Song heard this, he couldn't help but feel alert. The emperor seemed to be a little wrong today. He slaughtered the mountain and the maritime merchants. Could it be that something happened to Tu Dashan?

Thinking of this, he said more carefully: "The so-called maritime merchant family has such rumors in several southeastern provinces, but it is just rumors. Neither the Chen family of Longxi and Lin family of Zhangpu, nor the Xie family of Yuyao and Tu family of Ningbo have ever said that they are maritime merchant family."

What I said is so easy to say. I have heard of the wealthy maritime businessmen, what's wrong?

Jiajing felt that he was scratching his feet and was not touching the place. He simply asked directly: "Do you know that Tu Dashan used his position to restart the Longjiang Shipyard, build warships for pirates and Japanese pirates, and create muskets and artillery?"

ah!

Of course Yan Song knew that the reason why Tu Dashan did this was because he instructed Zhao Wenhua to arrange it.

The problem, he can't let Jiajing know!

All this was exposed. Something must have happened in Tu Dashan. This kid Yang Cong is indeed amazing.

He was already shocked, but on the surface he pretended to be listening to the news, curiously: "There is such a thing? Your Majesty, I dared to ask, Who did you hear?"

Is this guy really nothing to do with this?

When Jiajing saw Yan Song's expression, he felt relieved again. After all, Yan Song was his favorite courtier. Of course, he hoped that Yan Song was not the kind of treacherous villain who would do anything to achieve his goal.

He simply picked up the confession on the Long Case and said lightly: "This is Qingfeng just passed from Nanzhili, look at it."

Yan Song quickly took the confession and looked carefully.

As he looked at it, he already understood that Yang Cong clearly stated that the drunkard was not about wine, but about his cabinet chief minister.

This guy's methods are really despicable, but they are quite effective. Jiajing, this naughty young man, is just fooling around.

He knew that Jiajing had believed Yang Cong's words and confirmed all the charges of Tu Dashan. Now it depends on whether he, the chief minister of the cabinet, is really involved.

It seems that we should not think about the Southeast for the time being. With Yang Cong here, he can't afford to get a little bit of a bargain.
