In addition to his military talent, Yang Bo was also able to win the favor of Jiajing, and was diligent and research. He knew very well that what the emperor wanted was the stability of the Ming Dynasty's defense line, so he tried to build the nine-sided defense line without leaking water and not give the Mongolian cavalry a little. Take advantage of the opportunity.

Even though he was talking to Zhang Siwei, his eyes were always staring at the sand pile terrain on the sand table, but his mind was constantly thinking about how to build fortifications and how to arrange troops.

It was not that he deliberately wanted to put the airs of the Minister of War in front of Zhang Siwei, but that the relationship between the two of them was very close, and if they were too polite, they would seem to be alienated.

Yang Bo and Zhang Siwei are not only from Puzhou, Shanxi, but Yang Bo's granddaughter and Zhang Siwei's son Zhang Dingzheng have already made a marriage for a family. Yang Bo's son Yang Junqing is the son-in-law of Zhang Siwei's uncle Wang Chonggu.

It is precisely because of these layers of relationship that make the relationship between the two very close. What is most rare is that Zhang Siwei not only came from the Shanxi merchants, but also a genuine poet, and has been regarded as the next generation of the Jin party. Leader.

When Yang Bo heard Zhang Siwei mention fifty taels of silver, he finally found the mystery of the whole incident and breathed a breath of turbid air and said, "So that's it!"

"Uncle, what's the name of these fifty taels?" Zhang Siwei's heart moved slightly and asked for advice.

Yang Bo nodded gently, but threw the stone in his hand back into the plate. He turned to face Zhang Siwei and said seriously: "In the past, Annan civil strife, the defeated general Fan Ziyi invaded the Lianzhou Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty. Yu Dayou led his troops to severely damage Fan Ziyi's warship and beheaded. At level 1,200, and joined forces with the Prince of Annan to kill Fan Ziyi. However, Yu Dayou's military achievements in quelling the rebellion were suppressed by Yan Song, the then prime minister, and he only symbolically rewarded Yu Dayou with fifty taels of silver."

After a pause, he continued: "That boy mentioned this matter in essence, which was actually threatening Mr. Xu! If Mr. Xu really suppressed Yu Dayou's military achievements, then he would use this to spread rumors. Xu Jie Then you will hear rumors that Xu Jie is not as good as Yan Song!”

Different officials attach different importance to the East and West. Xia Yan, the former chief minister of the cabinet, focused on being pragmatic, Yan Song, the former chief minister of the cabinet, focused on the emperor's favor, while Xu Jie, the current chief minister, cherished his reputation.

Lin Qingran had already seen this, but quietly started from the reputation that Xu Jie valued the most, and even compared Xu Jie with Yan Song in exchange for Xu Jie's compromise.

"He doesn't dare to do this, right?" Zhang Siwei glared at her eyes, but said with a conclusion.

Yang Bo smiled bitterly, clapped the sand stained with his palm and said, "If it were someone else, he would not dare to do this, but Lin Shiran is extremely courageous, which can be seen in the battle of the Northern Gate of Tongzhou that he hosted last year! Besides, Even if Lin Qingran doesn't do it now, he may do it in the future, and he can also use this to discredit Master Xu. He took advantage of the fact that Yan Song only rewarded Yu Dayou for fifty taels, and borrowed your mouth and forced Master Xu to do it again. choose!"

At this point, his voice revealed a little helplessness. He thought he could easily resolve the boy's offensive, but he never expected that things would change lightly for the boy.

"In this way, what Lin Qingran said to me in front of the palace gate is actually what I want me to pass on to the teacher?" Zhang Siwei seemed to realize it and immediately glared at her eyes and said in surprise.

As soon as he thought of this, a chill surged in his back. Although he knew that the court was full of calculating and Lin Shiran was even more known as Lin Suanzi, he still felt gloomy and terrifying. These big guys were really not human.

I thought Lin Qingran was just chatting with him with an extraordinary temperament, but I didn't expect that he would use it for Lin Qingran to become a microphone without knowing it.

Yang Bo looked at Zhang Siwei's shocked look, but his eyes showed pity. He was no longer willing to pour another basin of cold water on Zhang Siwei, who was trained by the Shanxi merchant.

Not only Lin Qingran used him to pass the message to Xu Jie, but Xu Jie also used him, but also told him the cause and effect of the whole matter to himself through Zhang Siwei.

Whether Xu Jie deliberately left him in the duty room to watch or sent him to the Ministry of War to handle the work, this was actually arranged by Xu Jie, with the purpose of explaining to himself everything that happened through his mouth.

But it has to be admitted that this rich second generation of Shanxi businessman who was born with a golden key has talent for studying and has strong resources, but his political wisdom is relatively ordinary, otherwise he would not have been stuck in the position of Hanlin editor.

Zhang Siwei tried hard to digest the gloomy horror brought by Lin Weiran, and turned to Yang Bo seriously and said, "Uncle, the teacher means to reward Yu Dayou more, what should I do now?"

"Ge Lao Xu has made a choice, and I have to sell him this face!" Yang Bo looked up at the sunny yard outside, and said with a complicated expression on his face.

If it were just Lin Qingran, he would naturally ignore it and would not be able to make any concessions. But now this matter represents Xu Jie's will. Even if he is so arrogant, he will still sell the face of the chief assistant.

The only thing that can be blamed for this kid is too good at judging the situation and actually takes advantage of the unfair treatment that Yu Dayou has suffered in the past, thus forcing Xu Jie to change his original intention and agree to reward Yu Dayou.

Although he suffered some losses in this incident and even had to free up the position of the Liaodong General, the Ministry of War was always under his firm control, and the actual losses were not large.

As for Lin Weiran's desire to "transfer the south and the north", this was just a wishful thinking. Not to mention that hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the north disagree, he, the Minister of War, was the first to oppose it.

March in the capital seemed to be a slight start. Whether it was the call to restore Hu Zongxian or the anger of impeachment of Minister of War Yang Bo, these things quickly calmed down like a gust of wind.

Hu Zongxian was not only Yang Bo's political enemy, but also Xu Jie's thorn in the eyes. This matter was actually destined to be unfamiliar. As Yu Dayou was rewarded, Lin Qingran also stopped and did not continue to attack Yang Bo.

With the arrival of the end of March, another group of examiners in the provincial examination were arranged to go to the local area to preside over the provincial examination.

At the same time, a Nanyang delegation composed of several groups finally arrived at the Huitong Pavilion in the capital, but planned to pay tribute to the current Ming emperor and become a bright Ming vassal state.

However, among this group of people who claim to be envoys of the South China Sea, in addition to the familiar South China Sea, there are also some blonde and blue-eyed Westerners, but they claim to be Manlaccans.
