The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

(Emotions are in the eyes of the common people. I, Bao Zheng, can be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, thanks to this treacherous official Yan Song?)

Bao Zheng felt very unconvinced. Ben Bao Heizi is doing very well in Shandong, okay?Even without Yan Song's recommendation, next year's external inspection will be a proper first-class evaluation, and he must be promoted!

But Bao Zheng is not a person who does not understand good and evil.

He listened to most of the common people's comments on Yan Song in the tea house, which were extremely positive.Whether it is opening the sea, building a new city, escorting the southern tour, or even the three sentences of the recent cabinet policy program, they have all become hot topics of discussion among the people on the streets and alleys.

Even Bao Zheng had to admit that Yan Song had great influence in Beijing and had a high reputation among the people.

He couldn't help being a little curious, and wanted to meet Yan Song, of course, it would be even better if he could be beaten up.

Early the next morning, Bao Zheng went to Xiyuan to report to Jiajing.

···········

Jiajing seemed to be very familiar with his achievements in Shandong. He greatly praised Bao Zheng's achievements in governing the Yellow River, opening up wasteland and farming, building roads, and raising the population in Shandong.

"The Ministry of Officials is the most powerful department in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the department that is easiest to cultivate favors. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the superior to all officials in the Ming Dynasty. But the reason why I use you is because Yan Aiqing said that you Heizi never bends the law for personal gain, is stern and selfless, and clearly distinguishes loyalty from traitors! You have to encourage yourself!"

Bao Zheng hurriedly stood up and bowed to the emperor to salute: "Minister, you must not bend the law for personal gain! Be stern and selfless! Distinguish loyalty from traitors!"

After being praised by Jiajing, he was kicked out, because it was time for Jiajing to practice Taoism again.

Bao Zheng's face was full of black lines, feeling that the emperor was too unreliable, and after he came out, he happened to meet Yan Song.

As soon as Bao Heizi's face turned black, he would scold him.

He did so well in Shandong, but Yan Song insisted on transferring him back to the capital, which made him owe a favor instead.This made Bao Zheng very tired.

But Yan Song is a kind person to him, and the official secretary of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not something ordinary people can do.In addition, what Jiajing said just now was Yan Song's recommendation, so Bao Zheng was the one who was able to take the position. Bao Zheng was so angry that he wanted to scold him but couldn't.

On the other hand, Yan Song, seeing Bao Zheng coming out, smiled slightly and said: "You wait for me at the duty house, I will go in and ask the emperor about something, and then I will come out, let's drink and chat."

Bao Zheng snorted coldly, thinking that it would be useless even if you, a treacherous minister, get close to me... Well, it's actually kind of useful...

Sure enough, Yan Song went back as soon as he went, and invited him to Songhe Tower for a drink.

Songhe Tower is located in the south of Xicheng, and it is the most famous place for Huaiyang cuisine in Beijing. It is very authentic and it is difficult to get a seat.

But among them, of course, Yan Song, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, was not included. As soon as Yan Song arrived, the boss and customers gave up the room like hell.

On the third floor of Songhe Tower, in the elegant private rooms, you can open the windows and see the majestic Forbidden City with bright yellow-colored glazed tiles.

On the restaurant.

Yan Song and Bao Zheng took their seats.

Bao Zheng still looked like he was doing business, and said: "Master Yan, the reason why I went to your banquet is because I, as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, am directly subordinate to Yuanfu according to the management method promulgated by the cabinet. Let's talk about work. If Yuanfu has something messy, forming a party for personal gain, don't blame me for being unreasonable and walking away."

Yan Song laughed aloud, and said to himself that it was really Bao Heizi, and he still had that cannon temper.

But Bao Heizi's temper was very helpful to Yan Song's great cause, he didn't think it was disobedient, he still smiled and said: "Well, Bao Heizi, you started to criticize me before you returned the recommendation?"

Bao Zheng coughed in displeasure: "Yuan Fu recommended for the country, and I serve the country. How can there be any kindness in the "[-]"? Don't let me bend the law for personal gain."

Yan Song knew his bad temper, but he didn't expect him to return the favour, so he just laughed it off and said seriously: "Then have a drink first."

Bao Zheng stared at Yan Song vigilantly for a long time before finally drinking the glass of wine.

After drinking for three rounds, Yan Song finally spoke.

"The reason why I transferred you from Shandong is that I have a heavy responsibility. You have probably heard that the court has passed the opening of the sea in a big court meeting a few days ago, right?"

Bao Zheng nodded: "Exactly!"

Yan Song said in a deep voice: "The matter of opening the sea is of great importance. I don't feel at ease if others do it. No way, I, the chief assistant, have to go to Tianjin, or even Shanghai, to preside over the construction of the Tianjin-Shanghai new city."

Bao Zheng was very surprised when he heard this.

He originally thought that when Yan Song invited him to have a drink, he must be threatening his self-respect. He regarded himself as Bao Zheng's benefactor, Bo Le, and asked him, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to take care of him or promote some strict party.

If that was the case, Bao Zheng would definitely walk away.Even if he offends Yan Song and invites revenge.

He, Bao Zheng, never colludes with evil forces.

But when Bao Zheng heard it, he knew that Yan Song's intention was for the country and the people.

The majestic Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty actually went deep into the barren lands of Tianjin Wei and Shanghai to preside over the construction of new cities, which is really rare.

Bao Zheng lamented the greatness of Mr. Yan Ge, who even abandoned the power of the capital to undertake such a difficult task in person.

You know, Bao Zheng, who has just returned to the capital and doesn't care much about politics, knows that the princelings are eyeing him, and he is fully prepared to deal with Yan Song.

At this juncture, Yan Song actually dared to leave the capital?Leave the emperor?Going to open up the sea and build a new city for Ming Dynasty?

Bao Zheng felt that Yan Song seemed to have misunderstood something before.

He admired Yan Song more and more.

Bao Zheng himself is a man of action, he can clearly distinguish who is a man of action and who is a person who talks big.In Bao Zheng's view, regardless of how beneficial Yan Song's sea opening is to the court, Yan Song's spirit of responsibility and hard work is enough to be admired.

"Master Shoufu..." Bao Zheng sighed, stood up, and picked up a glass of wine: "Although I have different political views with you in many aspects, compared to many vegetarians, you, Shoufu, at least agree Do it! Let me toast you."

Yan Song smiled slightly, it was a good thing that this bag of sunspots actually toasted him, the "big treacherous minister".
