The imperial court represents great righteousness, especially since the Dayin Dynasty has been passed down for nearly five hundred years, and it is the embodiment of tradition. Even though the great ship of the Dayin Dynasty is now somewhat in decline, a skinny camel will always be better than
Ma Da, both in terms of military strength and financial resources, is far from being comparable to other vassals. It is just because of the lack of cavalry that it is impossible to completely annihilate the eight vassals that are separatist. Therefore, in this sense, it has established a firm position in the court.
Heels mean the right to speak, which means being able to wear the skin of justice. Even if Lin Chongming didn't say it, Xiao Wei knew it. The problem is to stand firm in the chaotic situation of the government.
It is not an easy task. Not only does it need to borrow strength, but it also needs a reliable shield, or a substitute that can be used to die.
Regardless of whether Xiao Wei is willing or not, he will definitely not be able to escape the affairs of Ma Zheng's office - if he can't make some articles about Ma Zheng's affairs, Xiao Wei's hope of gaining a foothold in the imperial court will definitely be disappointed, and if Ma Zheng moves, the prince will inevitably
Will jump up to object, and several fierce fights are inevitable. If the princes try to get in touch with each other again, it is definitely inevitable that the prince will suffer a big loss. However, Xiao Wei, as a party involved, may not be able to gain any advantage. If he is not careful, it is inevitable that both sides will be hurt.
, if you want to avoid such a result, you must have a "backer", but it is difficult to decide who to rope in - Needless to say, the prince can only attack the target, and there is no possibility of compromise.
The prince, apart from having a rough temper, is really useless. He can be used as a spearhead, but he cannot be used for his own purposes. The second prince is becoming more and more mature, and he is also treacherous, so it is difficult to lure him into his trap.
His cooperation is a bit like seeking the skin of a tiger, especially when he is still young, it is not impossible that he will be eaten alive by this guy. The fourth prince is from the same group as the second prince, although this person seems to be someone else.
There is a plan, but it is not something Xiao Wei can shake off right now. The only remaining choices are the five and six princes.
The fifth prince, Xiao Ruying, and the sixth prince, Xiao Ruhao, are both very familiar to Xiao Wei, and they are both quite capable. However, in Xiao Wei's opinion, the fifth prince is suspicious by nature, and it is difficult for him to achieve great things, and the sixth prince has made mistakes.
Gang, lack of experience, it is difficult to achieve success in a short time. These two brothers are the best scapegoats. In comparison, the value of the sixth prince's use is greater, and it seems to be a bit of a rare commodity. It's easy to think about it, but
Might be a good stand-in!
"Brother Lin..." After Xiao Wei pondered for a long time, he went through all the possibilities and felt that he was somewhat sure. Then he raised his head, just thinking about having a good relationship with Lin Chongming.
After exchanging opinions, they suddenly discovered that Lin Chongming had left the Chinese army's tent at some point, while Bi Luo and several maids were waiting on the side in a lively manner, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.[
"Young prince, Mr. Lin has gone out earlier. Can I help you freshen up now?" Seeing Xiao Wei's dazed look, Bi Luo smiled brightly, walked up to him and asked softly.
Xiao Wei rode his horse all the way back this time, and the journey was dusty. He had not washed himself properly in several days. When Bi Luo mentioned this, he immediately felt a little itchy all over his body, so he didn't say goodbye and smiled.
He nodded and said: "Forget it, let's change Xiao Wang's clothes."
"My slave, I obey." Seeing that Xiao Wei agreed, Bi Luo hurriedly responded and ordered the accompanying maids to prepare things for bathing. While she was busy, she saw Xiao Wei standing up arrogantly.
He "touched" Bi Luo's back, put one hand around his waist, and whispered teasingly into his ear: "Bi Luo, finish washing with Xiao Wang."
"Ah..." Bi Luo was busy. Leng Buding noticed that Xiao Wei was making trouble with one of his hands behind his back. He couldn't help but let out a low cry, and his face turned red. The crowd had not yet exited.
Seeing this, the maids in the Chinese army tent all laughed coquettishly. Bi Luo was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head. She bit her lip and said in a trembling voice: "Little prince, you, you..."
"Hehe." Seeing Bi Luo's ears turned red with embarrassment, Xiao Wei's heart couldn't help but move. Just when he was about to take a step further, he heard footsteps outside the tent, and Ning Nan was walking.
Come in.
Damn, what a sight! Xiao Wei didn't want to be discourteous in front of his subordinates. When he saw Ning Nan entering the tent, he quickly let go of Bi Luo's hand, pretended to cough, and straightened his face. He was free.
Bi Luo hurriedly took a step away, blushed and stepped aside, lowering her head, not daring to look at anyone.
"My young prince, Ye Buyu, a doctor from the household department, has come to ask for an audience." Ning Nan didn't expect that he would ruin Xiao Wei's good deeds as soon as he entered the tent. He laughed secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to bring it to his face.
He quickly reported it.
This kid didn't come earlier, he didn't come late, he came here at this time, he is deliberately disgusting me, he's a puppy! Xiao Wei originally had some opinions about Ye Buyu not showing up for so long, but now he was disturbed by it again
"It's a good thing." Naturally, he felt very unhappy in his heart, but after all, the city was deep, so he didn't bring it to his face. He just said calmly: "Please invite him in."
"Yes, I obey." Ning Nan followed Xiao Wei for a long time, and he knew clearly that Xiao Wei looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was very unhappy in his heart, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurriedly responded and turned around
, he walked out of the Chinese army's tent as if he was running away. In a moment, a young official in his thirties, wearing a green official robe, walked quickly into the tent. When he saw Xiao Wei standing upright,
Sitting on the big seat, he hurriedly rushed forward, bowed and clasped his fists in salute, saying: "I am the official of the household department, the branch secretary, the official Ye Buyu, see the young prince."
Although Xiao Wei had some opinions about Ye Buyu in his heart, he would never be so stingy as to embarrass others on the spot. At this time, when he saw Ye Buyu greeting him, he waved his hand with a smile and said: "Ye Langguan, you don't have to be polite.
, please take a seat, someone will come and serve tea to Ye Langguan."
Xiao Wei may not mind Ye Buyu being late, but as a member of a noble family, Ye Buyu has to express his feelings. After all, the master in front of him is the famous "number one bandit" in the capital, and he has always been taboo.
Lord, it would not be a good thing if I was put in a position by this person. Upon hearing that Xiao Wei gave up his seat, Ye Buyu hurriedly bowed again and said: "Thank you for your kindness, young prince. I just received the call this morning."
The imperial court reported that the official will be handed over to the capital immediately. Due to all the complicated matters, time was wasted and we were unable to greet the young prince in triumph. I asked Haihan to do so."
Handover? Handover to whom? When Xiao Wei heard this, his curiosity immediately arose, but he did not rush to ask questions. He laughed and said: "Ye Langguan is too polite, Xiao Wang just sold some horses back by luck.
, it can’t be called a triumph, sit down, sit down and say it.”
"Thank you, young prince." Ye Buyu was no longer polite this time, and responded respectfully. He walked behind a table at the bottom, shook the sleeves of his official robe, lifted the hem, sat down, and said
There were maids serving brewed fragrant tea to the guests.
"Xiao Wang heard that Ye Langguan came from the Ye family of the capital, and he should be of the same clan as Ye Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites?" Although Xiao Wei wanted to find out who took over Ye Buyu's class, he was not anxious enough to ask directly.
At this point, he started to get close to him with a smile.
"Returning to the young prince, Ye Shangshu is the uncle of the lower official clan, my father's official minister Ye Minglan." Upon hearing Xiao Wei's question, Ye Buyu hurriedly bowed and responded.
"Oh? Mr. Ye is your father. Haha, this is really the origin of the family. Father and son are officials in the same dynasty. It's amazing. The Ye family has a prosperous family and is really the pillar of our dynasty. Mr. Ye will definitely be better than his predecessors in the future.
Lan, Xiao Wang is optimistic about Ye Langguan's future." When Xiao Wei heard that Ye Buyu was the son of Ye Minglan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, his heart couldn't help but praises poured out from his mouth.
"Young prince, you have received the award. I am ashamed to be a lower-ranking official." Ye Buyu bowed and thanked him, but his face became a little unnatural - the Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six departments, and Ye Minglan serves as the Assistant Minister in the Ministry of Personnel.
, he is supposed to be a high-ranking person, but Fang Minwu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, has the power to dominate the sky with one hand. Fang Minwu has the final say in the Ministry of Personnel. As for the ministers on the left and right, they are just decorations. They don’t even have the slightest right to speak. In terms of power,
, In fact, it is not as good as the ministers below. Ye Minglan can't hold his breath when he is such a puppet. Xiao Wei said that Ye Buyu will be better than a master in the future. So what is the way to win? Could it be that he should not be a puppet but a clay puppet?
What?
"Oh, by the way, Ye Langguan has finished his official duties, will he also return to Beijing? If so, he will be on the same road as Xiao Wang. If not, if we go together, we will have someone to take care of him." Xiao Wei was keenly aware of this.
Ye Buyu had a slight strange look on his face, but he didn't point it out and changed the topic with a smile.
"Back to the young prince, Xiaguan is on an errand in the capital this time. He is only responsible for gathering grain and fodder. Now that the grain and fodder are in place, Xiaguan's affairs are finished. However, there are still some loose ends and it may be difficult to set off for a while." Ye
At this point, he paused obviously and then continued: "Xiaoguan received a report from Di this morning that all military and political matters in Yongjing City will be under the full control of Yu Chaoyan and Eunuch Yu." [
What? The emperor actually sent a eunuch to take care of things? Damn it, have you forgotten the disaster during the Shunping period? Damn it, the scars are really healed and the pain is forgotten! When Xiao Wei heard this, he was immediately surprised
, he cursed secretly in his heart, but his face was still very calm, he nodded and said: "Oh? I see, I wonder if Mr. Fish is here now?"
"No, I just sent a few young eunuchs here. Alas, these few young eunuchs are already very difficult to deal with. If Eunuch Yu arrives, I'm afraid I won't even be able to pay for the transportation back to the capital."
Ye Buyu smiled bitterly and shook his head, seemingly pointing out Yu Chaoyan's greed for money.
Hmm, is this Mr. Ye very interesting? Hey, interesting, interesting! Xiao Wei rarely cared about government affairs in the past, and was not familiar with most of the courtiers, let alone the eunuchs in the palace. Now
Hearing what Ye Buyu said, the son naturally had some concerns in his heart, and he also guessed that Ye Buyu's intention in saying these words was to show his kindness, although he still couldn't see through Ye Buyu's move for a while.
What's the purpose? Xiao Wei didn't take it to heart at all, so he smiled and said: "Ye Langguan is joking, the fish court can't last more than an eunuch, it's not worth mentioning, haha, Xiao Wang is out of trouble this time,
There is nothing else, but I have made a lot of money. If Ye Langguan is in trouble, he can borrow some from Xiao Wang temporarily. I dare not say if there is more, but I still have three or five thousand taels of silver."
"Thank you very much for your love, young prince. If you need anything, please speak to young prince. Young prince is tired from the journey, so I don't dare to disturb you too much. Farewell, farewell." Ye Buyu had finished passing on what he was supposed to say, and when he saw Xiao Wei
With a smile on his face, he knew that the other party had already accepted his love. He didn't want to delay any more, so he stood up, bowed respectfully, and said goodbye. Xiao Wei didn't force him to stay and let him go.
.
Ye Buyu? Ye family? Ha, what are you doing? Do you also want to find a rare place to live? After Ye Buyu left, Xiao Wei looked at the door of the tent, frowned, and began to think silently...
