Chapter 360: Gaining Momentum
The Yang family shot quickly, ruthlessly and accurately, and Pang Yu was simply unavoidable. He also wanted to try to justify himself from the authenticity of the letter, but the letter was genuine, genuine, not only true, but also a person who knew everything clearly.
It is said that back then, Gao followed this bandit for more than two years, and this thief grew stronger and stronger under his advice, but the result of his growth was naturally frequent crimes, and he became a thorn in the side of local officials.
Before the imperial court suppressed the bandits, this group of thieves robbed a team of cars and horses that entered Beijing to offer treasures to the imperial merchants, but it happened that at this time someone was passing by, and the mountain bandits and the people of the dart bureau were in a mess, and the people who passed by suffered a catastrophe, and this person was the person who sent a message to Beijing for help.
This letter was intercepted by the mountain bandits in a daze, and when I returned to the cottage to count the spoils, I found such a letter.
This group of mountain bandits, the big boss and the second boss, are illiterate, and Gao was taken aback when he saw it, he raised his eyes and saw that it involved high-ranking officials in Beijing, and it was not a trivial matter.
However, at that time, Gao was not as shrewd and powerful as he was later, but he felt that this matter was not trivial, and it was not something that their group of mountain bandits could control. He asked the big boss and the second boss to collect the letters, and did not mention the matter for the time being.
Later, before this letter could be used, this gang of bandits was wiped out, Gao escaped and ran away, and the letter fell from the guard to the old lady Fei.
Xu Pan handed over Gao to Dali Temple, and Pang Yu's crime was like a nail on the board, and he couldn't run away.
More than half of the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs were dismissed from their posts and investigated, ranging from demotion to demotion, to exile from their homes.
For a time, there were many empty houses in the capital, and more people who were watching the fire from the other side were tossing up and down, and they had to be transferred to the military headquarters from all over the place.
Yang Ge Lao won a complete victory quietly, and he also recommended to the emperor a candidate to replace Pang Yu, the secretary of the military department, and the person he recommended was Yu Xiaoling's maternal grandfather Cheng Sheng.
Cheng Sheng has been working in Zhan Shifu for so many years, and now he has made it to the end, and when he becomes Zhan Shi, he is just a third product.
Besides, now that there is no owner in the East Palace, if you continue to do it, it is hard to say whether you can wait until the next Ming Jun. Cheng Sheng had long wanted to jump out, but it was just that it was on the queen's side, and it was always difficult to say.
Now that Yang Ge Lao recommended him to be the secretary of the Ministry of War, if this step can be achieved, whether it is the Cheng family, the Peng family or the Yang family, they will benefit very much.
Yang Gelao's recommendation is not nepotism, firstly, Cheng Sheng has this ability, and he also has a lot of connections in Beijing, so he can stand on his feet; secondly, because he is from Zhan Shifu, the emperor still trusts him very much. Moreover, the emperor has recently shown signs of easing relations with the queen, and if he is willing to sell the queen to save face, the probability of success is even higher.
After looking at it from several parties, Cheng Sheng has no suspense. It didn't take long for the edict to be appointed, and when the news reached the Zhongqin Uncle's Mansion, Yu Xiaoling laughed.
"Oh, some grandsons-in-law are about to gain power, why don't you bring me tea and water!"
Yu Xiaoling has been able to eat more and more recently, she has peeled most of the lychees at this time, and her tongue is a little numb when she eats, so she ordered Xu Pan to serve her tea and pour water.
Xu Pan poured her half a glass of water with a smile and said, "My grandfather has gained power, but my status in the house has declined, which is really a mixed blessing." ”
Yu Xiaoling gently smacked him: "It's cheap and good! There are some grandsons-in-law who are even more laughing and their teeth are falling off!"
Cheng Sheng became the secretary of the military department, and the Zhongqin Bofu, Jiang Yuanbo Mansion and the Gu family were naturally the happiest. In the past, the secretary of the military department was a civilian official, and he did not have much intersection with them, the military attachés who fought in the war, and if they wanted to intersect, they had to be like Zhu Bingjun, the Duke of Yingguo, and secretly exert their strength. However, the current situation has changed dramatically, and it has become very good, and these three companies are the first to benefit.
Xu Pan saw that Yu Xiaoling drank the half cup of water in one gulp, poured half a cup for her, and said: "During the previous battle of the Japanese Invaders, there was a general banner surnamed Wu who blocked an arrow for me, and I later learned about his situation, he himself has some skills, but unfortunately the luck is not good, every time he rises to the hundred households, he is blocked by others." I wanted to help him, and I took a fancy to a hundred households in Jiangxi, but unfortunately his family was in Gyeonggi, and I didn't want to go far to take office, so I delayed it. This time, I heard that there was a vacant position in Zhuozhou, and I wanted to come to take office for my grandfather, so I had to go through the back door first, and then I would pay back the favor. ”
Yu Xiaoling smiled when he heard this, "My grandfather hasn't taken office yet, so you're going to go through the back door, this is a good thing, you are a minister!"
As soon as Xu Pan was about to take her words and laugh, a maid came over to report that Sister Qingxing from the old lady's side was here.
Qingxing is the maid next to Xu Pan's grandmother Shi, she came, Yu Xiaoling glanced at Xu Pan unexpectedly, and Xu Pan also raised his eyebrows.
Qingxing entered the room, first greeted the two masters, and then said: "The old lady said that Master Qingtan returned to Tanzhe Temple today, and the old lady wants to go to Tanzhe Temple tomorrow." I also heard that Madame had seen Master Qingtan before, so I wanted to ask Madame if she would go with her. ”
As soon as she said this, Xu Pan's face turned cold.
As soon as they returned to Beijing, Yu Xiaoling immediately sent people to Tanzhe Mountain. The people below arrived at Tanzhe Mountain, and walked all the way with the post of Zhongqin Bofu, but what they could see was Master Qingya.
Master Qingya Dao Master Qingtan did go out of Beijing, saying that he would come back in May, as for the matter of getting sick, the mortal body will inevitably get sick, so there is no need to worry. He finally mentioned that individuals have their own fate, and there is no need to force it.
Yu Xiaoling got his last sentence, although he was entangled in his heart, he couldn't help but extricate himself, thinking to himself, let's wait until Qingtan comes back in May.
However, she hasn't gotten the news of Qingtan's return yet, but the old lady Shi Shi knew about it first.
Yu Xiaoling married into the Zhongqin Uncle's Mansion, and she also knew that Xu Pan's grandmother was a person who only asked about the world, only devoted herself to Buddhism, and rarely dealt with the children and grandchildren in the mansion.
There is a person named Shi, which is no different from a person without her. Therefore, she suddenly invited Yu Xiaoling to go with her this time, and Yu Xiaoling was also very surprised.
She raised her eyes and saw Xu Pan's cold face, and saw that Xu Pan was also looking at her, and she probably knew that he didn't want him to go.
Besides, Yu Xiaoling herself also wanted to go, if she could see Qingtan, she would be relieved.
So she turned around in her heart, lowered her head, staggered Xu Pan's eyes, and said to Qingxing in the end: "Naturally, I should serve my grandmother up the mountain." Sister Qingxing, do you know, when will grandmother go out tomorrow?"
