Chapter 650: The First Assistant Receives the Good News from the Second Assistant Marquis Mansion
Yang Yiqing first had the merits of supervising the Ma Zheng in Shaanxi Province, and then had the merits of repeatedly resisting the little prince to build the border wall. Therefore, although he was the candidate for the cabinet that the emperor had already approved before the court recommendation, this was against the rules.
But at the time of the court recommendation, the opinions of the nine ministers were surprisingly unanimous. 1 Novel Network Whether they are neutralists, Zhang Fuhua, Xie Duo, Tu Xun, who are close to Xu Xun, or even Liu Jinna
Regardless of Zhang Cai or Han Fu, everyone recommended Yang Yiqing as the number one candidate. Of course, Li Dongyang's hard work was not in vain. Yang Tinghe's name was hung after Yang Yiqing and was presented to the emperor.
Therefore, the little emperor, who was satisfied that Yang Yiqing's return to the court was a foregone conclusion, was also very happy that Yang Tinghe's name appeared again, and he approved the matter with a stroke of his pen. But it was Xiao Jing who should have sent the things back.
But Xiao Jing took the imperial letter and submitted his resignation. At this time, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but frowned: "I am not in the capital this time. Thanks to Xiao Banban who is in charge of the ceremonial supervisor. Now that Liu Jin is not here, Gao Feng is ill."
Seriously, can't Xiao Banban help me as the Supervisor of Ceremonies?"
"Your Majesty, although Liu Jin is not here now and Gao Feng is seriously ill, there are still Zhang Yonggu Dayong and others in the palace..."
Before Xiao Jing could finish his words, Zhu Houzhao interrupted him: "Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong told me that their talents are limited. The Chief of Ceremonies is in charge of criticizing the red. They are not as calm and reliable as you who have been in charge for many years."
.As for the other people... they don't even have this ability! So, Xiao Banpan, please help me choose a few safe people. When the new people can take charge of their own business, I will definitely give you a pension."
Thinking that he had retreated bravely before, and now he was being chased away again, Xiao Jing felt mixed emotions. Seeing Ruisheng standing beside Zhu Houzhao blinking at him with a smile, he remembered that the little guy almost lost his life
, if the empress hadn’t begged the Empress Dowager Zhang to stay temporarily, Ruisheng would have poured Jiaofangsi’s secret medicine down his throat as soon as Zhu Houzhao returned to Beijing... He only felt that something he had thought about for a long time flashed through his mind.
idea.
"Since the emperor said so, how dare I disobey my order? However, the emperor will forgive me for speaking frankly. After the previous incident, Rui Sheng is not suitable to stay in Qianqing Palace any longer. Although he has never been to the inner study hall, my slave has taught him how to read and read.
He had also been in charge of the Clerk of Ceremonies before. If the emperor could cut off his love, I wanted him to be polished in the Clerk of Ceremonies. After all, the Supervisor of Ceremonies wanted to use reliable people who the emperor could trust. How could it compare to someone cultivated by my slave?
Do you want to marry someone who has been approved by the emperor for a long time?"
As soon as he said these words, Zhu Houzhao immediately patted the armrest lightly and turned to look at Ruisheng. He remembered that he had been hiding in the Qianqing Palace in those days and could not take a step out. Moreover, if he had not come back in time, the Queen Mother might really kill people.
Silence! So, he only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, it's up to you. Ruisheng, from now on, you will go back to the Supervisor of Ceremonies. I will promote you..." The little emperor pondered over and over again.
, and finally said with finality, "Just be a disciple. You can afford it. If you don't know how, you can study with Xiao Ban. If anyone dares to underestimate you, I will support you!"
Ruisheng didn't expect such a sudden change. He was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly kowtowed. His throat was so choked that he couldn't speak. When he stood up, he wiped his eyes with his sleeves and said in a hoarse voice.
: "My servant must live up to the emperor's trust!"
Although the urgent letter calling Yang Yiqing back to the capital to join the cabinet had arrived in Shaanxi in early April, after the completion of the transaction, various matters regarding the transfer of generals were assigned. When Yang Yiqing actually rushed back to the capital, it was already May 30th.
Or it was because he hurried back to the capital all the way, two hundred miles a day, and it took more than half a month to arrive in the capital. Because his family members returned to Beijing early to report the news, there were not a few relatives, friends, disciples, and old friends who came to greet him.
Even Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, took leave specially to go to the Yingbin Pavilion. When the Yang family's carriage and horses arrived, although the people who greeted him were all in plain robes and Tsing Yi, but the good things were detailed, most of them were noble people!…
When Yang was staying at the inn early in the morning and one night, he received a message from Xu Xun, knowing that Xu Xun would not come today. So he just smiled and practiced Tai Chi to deal with these officials who came with different intentions, and he was able to deal with it well. Until Li Dongyang
Inviting him to ride in the car, he agreed and got in the car. When he heard Li Dongyang's first words, the smile that made people feel like spring breeze disappeared.
"Sui'an, although Liu Jin is dead, the undercurrent in the court is getting more turbulent. This time you are returning to the capital with high expectations."
"What's the point of being in a position of public expectation? Isn't it just that when the emperor comes up with any original ideas, I will stand in front of him and encourage him?" Yang Yiqing smiled. Seeing Li Dongyang's expression tightening, he said thoughtfully, "
Of course, they still expect me to be able to compete with Zhang Xilu...I am a little confused, let alone others, why are you so afraid of him, brother Xi Ya?"
Li Dongyang's letter simply described Zhang Cai as a scourge. Although Yang Yiqing had a rough idea of what was going on in the capital, he was not immersed in the situation, so there was no such feeling of empathy. At this moment, Li Dongyang was silent for a moment, then said with a wry smile.
: "Zhang Xilu is a smart and capable person, but he is also able to bend and stretch, endure and break. Now coupled with the emperor's trust... He is now making statements every three to five days. Everyone who hears it is frightened, but a group of people below are waving flags and wanting to refute him.
People can defeat him, but I can’t go into battle in person! Even Lin Jun had a big fight with him before and was defeated in the end.”
"Lin Dapao actually lost?"
Yang Yiqing was immediately surprised. When he saw Li Dongyang smiled bitterly and nodded, understanding that this was indeed a fact, he couldn't help but take a deep breath. He recognized Zhang Cai. Not only did he recognize him, but because of Xu Xun's relationship, he even discussed many military strategies.
When it comes to government affairs, I have always felt that this is a rare talent, but I have been unlucky before. And Lin Jun, the youngest and sharpest cannon among the four gentlemen of Nandu, is no stranger to him. After all, Lin Jun became famous earlier. Now Lin cannon
Defeating to Zhang Xilu, it is self-evident what this means.
"Didn't Marquis Pingbei say anything? You should know that Zhang Xilu has changed his family!"
Speaking of Xu Xun, Li Dongyang suddenly turned blue: "Pingbeihou? Haha, in two days, he should be the Duke of Xingguo! He said it early, saying that he was covered with wounds from the battles in the north and south in the past few years.
I have been retired for a year and a half, and now I don’t see any outsiders and I am focusing on staying at home with my wife and children!” When he said this, Li Dongyang gritted his teeth. He thought back to when Xu Xun forced him to make an alliance under the city and forced him to agree to let Yang Yiqing succeed him as the chief minister.
, why haven't you seen such calmness? But now, even if he gets Yang Tinghe back together, he doesn't dare to cancel the previous transaction.
Not to mention how many years he and Yang Yiqing have been friends, and they never want to have a quarrel. Let’s talk about Xu Xun’s ruthless personality. If he breaks his promise, what will that kid do?
"In that case, Xiya, please take the carriage directly to the Xing'anhou Mansion in Wu'anhou Hutong, and I will go directly to see him."
There had been an old case of Lin Han Zhang Fu Hua Lin Jun. Before Yang Yiqing arrived in the capital this time, the little emperor had already given the house to him with a stroke of his pen, but it was not very auspicious. Because the original owner of the house was the former cabinet minister.
Liu Yu, the second assistant, has now been expelled and returned to his hometown, but he has already left the capital in misery. Even his son Liu Ren, who was supposed to take the national examination, was also implicated. Those bad deeds in the past were revealed.
After being found out, he was expelled from the capital along with his father. Now the Liu Mansion has been replaced by the Yang Mansion. Even the furniture of many houses has not been changed. Only the main entrance with three rooms and five shelves has been renovated, making it look even better.
style.
However, the civil and military officials who were ready to flatter Yang Sui'an, who was now the new second assistant and was very likely to be promoted to the first assistant in the future, were sweating in the Yongfang Wugong Alley when they were young on a hot day.
But there was only Yang Yiqing's carriage, horse and luggage. Even the car that someone had reported that Yang Yiqing and Li Dongyang were traveling in the same car was missing. The student who was rumored to be brought by Yang Yiqing was also missing. Until someone was careful.
After asking around, I learned the whole story - Yang Yiqing went to visit Xu's house!…
The gate of Xing'an Hou Mansion has been closed for several days. Although occasionally people can break through the obstacles and get in, it is definitely not something that ordinary people who want to curry favor with can achieve. So, I saw the ordinary carriage parked at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and then
Then he was taken in through the west corner gate. For a while, people couldn't help but talk about it, and there were many jealous people. But when they found out who the visitor was, the people who were waiting outside for the opportunity stopped.
It was actually Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing who came to see them together! The first and second assistants of the cabinet could only go through the west corner gate. The threshold for the Xu family was really extremely high!
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Your Majesty just left through the back door. Besides, I haven't opened the front door for a while. I can only use you two as a target to make some people miss you." Appeared in front of Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing.
Xu Xun was holding his precious daughter in his hands. When he saw Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing barely looking at each other, he smiled slightly and said, "My wife was just diagnosed with the pregnancy this morning. Now she needs to take good care of her. It's unavoidable."
I couldn't take care of Qionghua, so I was idle anyway, so I just held the baby and walked around. It's okay, Qionghua is very well-behaved."
The precious daughter of Xu Xun's family was named by the little emperor himself, and she came from Qionghua Island in the palace. This was known to everyone, so it was not surprising that Xu Xun doted on the child, but Ping Dang was about to be promoted to Duke.
Beihou was actually holding the child like the wet nurse, which was really unacceptable to them. After coughing slightly, Yang Yiqing gave Xia Yan beside him a wink.
"Students pay their respects to the Marquis."
"Huh?" Xu Xun narrowed his eyes and recognized Xia Yan, and immediately smiled, "It turns out to be Xia Gongjin. I heard that you were the counselor of the shogunate of Sui'an Gong. You made many suggestions and later became the disciple of Sui'an Gong? Good job.
, I didn’t see the wrong person at the time, get up!” He smiled and waved Xu Ning’s hand gently as he said, “Qionghua, you have to recognize the person, these two older ones are now
The first assistant in the cabinet and the second assistant in the cabinet will be the first assistant in the future. As for this young master, he may be the first assistant in ten or twenty years. You are lucky, maybe you will meet three chief assistants in one day!
"
Li Dongyang's face turned dark, and Yang Yiqing was not much better. Only Xia Yan was stirred up by Xu Xun's words, and she hurriedly lowered her head to cover it up.
