Chapter 383 Zhao Mo stands in line, Yang Xuan stands in the cabinet
Zhao Mo was also surprised to see Yang Xuan, but he still greeted him with a smile.
"Master Yang, it's really rare to meet Master Yang here."
Zhao Mo cupped his hands and said, "I happen to be drinking here with a few colleagues. Why don't you, Mr. Yang, come and have a drink?"
Meeting an acquaintance in a hotel was normal. Yang Xuan only thought that Zhao Mo was being polite and politely said that he would go over for a drink later.
Anyway, he felt that there must be something fishy in the fact that the two people who were incompatible before suddenly became so passionate.
Before you understand the other party's intentions, it is best to remain vigilant.
After arranging Lu Yue, Zhang Junbao and other guards, everyone started to feast. Although Fuxiangju was expensive, it tasted really good. The wine was also sent back to the inn to get Sansheng Sansei. Lu Yue and others were shouting after eating.
Enjoyable.
After drinking for three rounds, Yang Xuan was planning to go to Zhao Mo's place, but he didn't expect that Zhao Mo and the others came over first.
Not only Zhao Mo came, but also several colleagues. Anyone who could drink at the same table with Zhao Mo must have a high official position, so Lu Yue and others stood up to give up their seats, but were held down by these officials, who were even polite and polite.
With some humility, they just said some compliments, toasted each other with a glass of wine and left.
However, Zhao Mo did not leave, but said to Yang Xuan: "I know that Mr. Yang may have some misunderstandings about me. If it is convenient for Mr. Yang, you may wish to discuss it in detail, which may resolve the misunderstanding."
Yang Xuan heard some overtones from Zhao Mo's words.
Clear the misunderstanding?
Your Zhao family belongs to the second prince's party, and I belong to the princeling party. Is there any room for relaxation in this?
interesting.
Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Everyone is an official in the same court and is serving the court. Naturally, the fewer misunderstandings, the better."
Zhao Mo smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Yang, please."
Yang Xuan stood up: "Please."
The two of them went to the box next door together. After the waiter served the tea, Zhao Mo said: "Master Yang, let me first apologize to Master Yang for what I did before."
"Mr. Zhao, you're too polite. It's just a slight misunderstanding."
"Lord Yang." Zhao Mo cupped his hand and said, "It can be seen that Lord Yang's promotion has a great impact on the Zhao family. The Zhao family may be afraid of Lord Yang."
Yang Xuan was confused by what he said. He said it as if you were not a member of the Zhao family.
"Mr. Yang must be confused. What I said seems inconsistent with my own identity, but in fact, I am only thinking about my own interests."
Yang Xuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Master Zhao, do you want to say that you and Zhao Ming are different?"
Zhao Mo responded immediately: "Mr. Yang is indeed shrewd. To be honest with Mr. Yang, the Zhao family has been passed down for hundreds of years and is now extremely honored and favored. Everyone in the clan is grateful, but the clan leader is not satisfied with this."
Yang Xuan nodded while listening. Zhao Mo's words immediately divided the Zhao family into two factions, which meant that only the patriarch of the Zhao family wanted to support the second prince to succeed him to the throne, but the others did not have this ambition.
Yang Xuan naturally didn't believe this. According to his guess, Zhao Mo probably didn't have support in the clan, otherwise why would he come to him as a foreign aid.
Zhao Mo is the number one person in the Zhao family in terms of talent and official position, but the son of the patriarch is Zhao Ming. In other words, no matter how promising Zhao Mo is, he will still be suppressed by Zhao Ming in the future.
With Zhao Mo's talent, I'm afraid he won't be willing to do it, so that's where the contradiction lies.
This is a big drama of grudges between wealthy families.
Zhao Mo continued: "Now that the prince is benevolent and virtuous, he is the best candidate to inherit the throne. I don't want the patriarch to drag the Zhao family into the abyss for his own selfish purposes."
These words make it very clear that the patriarch's support for the second prince is not the real intention of my Zhao family. In order to avoid the Zhao family being liquidated in the future, I, Zhao Mo, side with the prince.
Yang Xuan continued to smile with his eyes narrowed. With just one or two words, it was naturally impossible for Yang Xuan to believe him.
"Sir Zhao, you are serious. As officials of the imperial court, we are all serving the emperor. We will do whatever the emperor says. We don't have to think too much. Besides, now that we are facing a powerful enemy, destroying the enemy's army is the most important thing."
Zhao Mo also knew that it was impossible to impress Yang Xuan with just a few words. Today he only had to express his feelings, and he couldn't speak freely about more things.
"It would be nice if Master Yang knows my intentions. As a courtier, Zhao should be loyal to the emperor and the prince."
Yang Xuan raised his eyebrows and took a sip of tea with a smile.
Zhao Mo's words are very interesting. It is understandable that you are loyal to the emperor, but you still want to add the prince. Isn't it obvious that you are taking sides? Yang Xuan's not expressing his stance is also an attitude.
The next topic turned to general topics in the official circles of Ganzhou City. After chatting for a while, Yang Xuan left.
Back in his box, Yang Xuan no longer thought about drinking to soothe his sorrows. He recalled Zhao Mo's words repeatedly in his mind, and finally came to the conclusion that Zhao Mo might have lost power in the Zhao family.
If we can make good use of this opportunity, it will be much easier to weaken the Zhao family.
Of course, Zhao Mo is a very gloomy person, so you need to be more cautious when working with him.
In the next few days, Yang Xuan continued to discuss with Sosna and never mentioned anything related to Livzon.
Naturally, Lizhu never came to see Yang Xuan. After a few days of going back and forth, the matter was almost settled. According to Sosna, the next step for him was to return to the grassland and then officially send the envoy to Yang Xuan.
In response to Tianfu, both parties signed letters of credence.
Strengthening trade is for long-term interests, and targeting the Fucha Ministry is just incidental.
During the few days of negotiation, a few things happened. First, the official documents from the court arrived, and Yang Xuan was officially named a general and appointed as the garrison of Ganzhou City.
The original guard, Zhao Ming, was directly beaten to the end and dismissed from his post to see the consequences.
Judging from the aftereffects, this can be regarded as saving some face for the Zhao family, which means that Zhao Ming still has the possibility of coming back.
Another thing was that Yang Xuan held a big banquet for Ganzhou Guards and all the officials of Ganzhou City, and received gifts mercilessly.
Performing my duties in such a high-profile manner is equivalent to announcing that I, Yang Xuan, will establish my position in Shaanzhou Prefecture.
He held the rank of general and led the garrison of Ganzhou City. He was considered the number one figure in the entire Shaanzhou Prefecture. Although he was arrogant, Yang Xuan also felt the pressure.
But since he wanted to be high-profile, he should be high-profile to the end. Yang Xuan directly bought a three-bedroom house in Ganzhou City, and then hosted a banquet.
Although there were not as many people as the last banquet, it was still very lively. Yang Xuan hosted officials twice, and Zhao Mo was more active than him. Not only did he introduce officials at all levels to him, he even introduced some local wealthy families.
With this foreshadowing, Yang Xuan's situation in Ganzhou City suddenly opened up.
Because of these matters, discussions with Sosna were delayed for several days.
Sosna didn't mind either, but was very happy to attend the banquet, which could be regarded as a platform for Yang Xuan.
After all these things were done, Sosna also told Yang Xuan that he was about to return to the grassland.
Regardless of other things, Yang Xuan and Sosna still have a relationship. When they are going back, Yang Xuan naturally has to give some souvenirs or something. However, when he came to the door with a gift, he was at the inn where Sosna was staying.
Here, I met Zhao Su, the patriarch of the Zhao family.
