The day after Yan Song left Beijing, Jiajing issued an order to appoint Xu Jie as the new chief minister.

Although this news was expected, it still had a strong attack power when the appointment was announced. The court, which had been calm for twenty years, was finally replaced.

Although Xu Jie and Yan Song both rely on writing Qing Ci to climb up with the sage, there is no essential difference between them. However, Xu Jie became the new chief minister, which inevitably brought a hint of expectations to all officials.

This is true for people. Even if they put old wine in new bottles, they will inevitably have some unrealistic fantasies.

Even if Xu Jie is not the ideal virtuous prime minister in their hearts, it is better than Yan Song, who is arbitrary, blocking the way of speech and blinding the holy listeners? During Yan Song's reign, it was difficult for them to even meet the emperor, let alone talent.

His virtues were appreciated by the emperor.

It is precisely because of the new prime minister's arrival that many officials began to look forward to the future and even placed their hopes on this new actress even if she is not so famous.

Xu Jie seemed to have heard the demands of the officials and indeed showed something exciting.

In his memorial to thank you, Xu Jie made a suggestion to Jiajing: "Great treacherous looks like loyalty, and great deception looks like trust. Only when you listen to it well will you be extremely vicious and evil, and people will be refuted by me; if you are deeply affectionate and hidden, others will be expressed by me. Therefore, the Holy Emperor Ming Wang

, if you say something, you will be careful. If you are not true, you will be put on the small ones, and if you are too big, you will be blamed and tolerated. "

Although Jiajing was extremely disgusted with the censors who liked to find trouble in his heart, and even more annoyed by the words that were always miserable, he was not able to reject the new prime minister's first official request.

The same is true, he gave a positive reply: Good.

As soon as the news came out, all officials who were paying attention to the new movements were immediately celebrated, especially the censors from the Censorate and the Sixth Corps saw a ray of dawn.

Why was Yan Song able to act arbitrarily?

It was Yan Song who blocked the way of speech, blinded the holy hearing, and made their loyal words and good deeds to save the country, which made their talents not available.

Now that Xin Xiang has come to power, he has taken the initiative to open up a wide range of opinions, which not only allows their memorials to reach the emperor's desk, but also has the opportunity to be valued by the emperor.

Xu Jie's move immediately won the strong support of many officials. Just this point, it was already a street above Yan Song, and he was a virtuous new prime minister.

On the day Xu Jie took office, he moved to the room left by Yan Song and hung a banner behind the desk: Returning the Lord with his power and blessings, returning government affairs to the various departments, and returning the public to the public with the use of rewards and punishments.

Just "returning the master to the emperor with his power" sends a very clear signal to the outside world that he is not the "authoritarian" chief minister like Yan Song, and will "repay" power to the emperor.

If Yan Song is the evil door god, then Xu Jie is a regular doorman, and the two are immediately distinguished.

According to convention, all the officials of the six ministries came to Jin to meet the new chief minister.

When I saw the banner hanging on the wall, even the Minister of Justice Cai Yuncheng secretly swallowed his spit. This new chief assistant is really completely different from Yan Song!

Since the emperor stopped the court, many major matters were no longer discussed, but reported to the cabinet that they could make decisions. For example, some major matters of the six ministries have always been decided by Yan Song.

However, after Xu Jie came to power, he actually said that he would return government affairs to the departments. Isn’t this a great “delegation of power”?

Minister of Personnel Guo Pu, Minister of Works Lei Li and Minister of War Yang Bo came to visit the new prime minister Xu Jie. When he saw the calligraphy on it, he was also stunned.

They were originally thinking about how to gain greater voice, but they never expected that Xu Jie would take the initiative to delegate power, which made them feel a little ashamed.

After saying some encouragement, the three ministers said goodbye and left.

As soon as the three of them left, Yuan Wei walked in and asked in confusion: "Master Yuan Fu, are you looking for me?"

With Yan Song's resignation, only Xu Jie and Yuan Wei were left in the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Wei was 52 years old this year. He was a second-class Jinshi in the 17th year of Jiajing. He entered the officialdom as a Shujishi. He was favored for writing Qing Ci, and was favored by Rilong. Chao was promoted to the Left Minister of Rites and then entered the cabinet to be the prime minister.

Although his career was extremely smooth, he did not accumulate a strong network of contacts and even his reputation was in a mess. He is still ridiculed for the solar eclipse dispute with Wushan back then.

Even when Yan Song left his post, he did not dare to expect the position of chief assistant. With his current strength, it would be great if he wanted to compete with Xu Jie to be the last supporting position.

Xu Jie called Yuan Wei over and said earnestly: "If you work together, you will be a public, and if you are a public, you will be a major. If you are a private person, you will be a private person. If you are a private person, you will be a disease. The ministers are only you and me. In the future, you will be a memorial.

Let’s discuss it before we can draw up!”

During Yan Song's reign, Yan Song made a decision in everything, and the two cabinet masters could only stand aside. Yuan Wei, who joined the cabinet last year, had a deep understanding of this.

Xu Jie was willing to discuss with him, which made him startled and then almost fell from tears. He held back his excitement and said, "Thank you, Lord Yuanfu, for the cultivation!"

"Ge Lao Xu is a hundred times better than Ge Lao Yan!"

As the news came out, all the officials in the court clapped their hands and praised them, and some even compared the former chief minister without hesitation, which really praised Xu Jie high.

Not only did he open up a way of speech, but he also decentralized power, which was something that Yan Song did not dare to imagine. However, when Xu Jie was in power, everything changed, showing a prosperous and prosperous era.

In the following days of May, everyone is still paying attention to the actions of the new scene.

Xu Jie did not propose new policies in a drastic way, nor was hesitant to introduce new measures, but focused on rectifying the administration.

The administration of officials is almost the consensus of officials all over the world. The dynasty is defeated and greedy is endless. This is because of the appointment of corrupt officials. As long as some honest officials are replaced, they can clean up the bad policies.

At Xu Jie's instruction, the censors from the Censorate and the Six-Corresolution Corps pointed the finger at the Minister of Justice Cai Yuncheng, Minister of the Dali Temple Wan Cai, Minister of Justice Yan Maoqing, Minister of Justice Yan Yulong, Minister of the Dachang Shaoqing Wan Yulong, Right Tongzheng Hu Rulin, Guanglu

Shaoqing Bai Qichang, right deputy censor and governor of the grain transportation, Hu Zhi, governor of Huguang, and others.

For a moment, there was a slight turmoil in the entire court, and I knew that a storm was about to sweep.

Xu Jie's disciples and former officials were naturally celebrating each other, while Yan Dang was like a loss of his parents. Anyone knew that Yan Dang, the corrupt officials, were about to step down, while Xu Dang's honest and upright people were about to come to power.
