Chapter 1638: Each Has His Own Plan
This time, it was King Yu who took the initiative to summon Lin Haoran, although all the officials tacitly agreed to stay away from King Yu, but now that King Yu summoned him, it is naturally a different matter.
King Yu seemed to be waiting for Lin Haoran's words, and asked for advice embarrassedly: "Lord Lin, this king meets the Nanyang envoys on behalf of his father, this ...... What should I look out for? ”
Except for the sixteen years he spent in the palace, King Yu has been a prince for ten years, but he has never done anything serious. Now suddenly let him come forward to entertain those Nanyang envoys for the emperor, how can he not make him feel nervous?
It is precisely like this, after receiving the edict from the palace and hearing Princess Li's suggestion, he immediately invited Lin Haoran, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who presided over this matter.
Lin Haoran felt relieved at this time, and he also understood where this King Yu's nervousness came from, so he responded with a smile: "Your Highness doesn't need to worry, Your Highness will definitely let the officials of the Ministry of Rites arrange it properly, you only need to show your face and drink with them when you arrive!" ”
"Will Lord Lin be there?" King Yu had no bottom in his heart, and asked seriously.
"If His Highness needs it, His Highness will definitely accompany His Highness!" Lin Haoran replied with a smile on his face.
King Yu's eyes lit up slightly, and he saluted happily: "Then there is Lord Laurin, please be sure to accompany this king and meet those Nanyang envoys together!" ”
"The subordinate obeys!" Lin Haoran just wanted this King Yu to rely on himself, and even responded with a smile.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and a white-faced and beardless eunuch hurriedly walked in. His face was anxious, and when he saw King Yu, he immediately pulled a long voice and said, "Your Highness......"
Lin Haoran heard the movement, but his attention was mainly on King Yu.
When King Yu saw the inner prison break in like this, he immediately felt unhappy in his heart.
Seeing that Lin Haoran was present, the inner supervisor swallowed back the words that came out of his mouth, and quickly walked to King Yu's side, and said a simple sentence in King Yu's ear.
Although King Yu is already twenty-six, he has not inherited Jiajing's imperial mental art, and he is about to write an anxious look on his face. After he heard the news brought by the inner supervisor, his butt left the chair as soon as possible, and only took two steps forward, but he suddenly thought that Lin Haoran was still here.
"If Your Highness has nothing else to do, then the lower official will leave first, and the lower official will definitely arrange the meeting with the Nanyang envoy!" Lin Haoran stood up and arched his hand with interest.
King Yu nodded hurriedly, and said to Lin Haoran: "Okay, then the king won't give it away!" ”
Lin Haoran gave another salute to King Yu, and then said goodbye and left. Just walked out of the door a few steps, and when I looked back, I saw King Yu running towards the back house in a hurry, but he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.
King Yu has a relatively wooden temperament, and he doesn't have the appearance of an emperor, but he is still very lustful. It is no wonder that Jiajing didn't like this King Yu at the beginning, and wanted King Jing to inherit the unification.
Under the discipline of Gao Gong, King Yu has always been well-behaved, and he does not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step, which can be described as self-denial and prudence. However, some things are innate, as Gao Gong left Yuwang's mansion, and the new Chen Yiqin and other teachers were far from Gao Gong's discipline ability, so Yuwang's character slowly exposed his nature.
In terms of fertility alone, King Yu is actually better than King Jing. Last year, Concubine Li just gave birth to her son Zhu Yijun, that is, the later Wanli Emperor, is actually his third son, and his daughter also gave birth to two, and these five children were born to four women.
Lin Haoran had already infiltrated King Yu's mansion, and knew that King Yu had recently fallen in love with a woman surnamed Qi, and now it was probably the back house that caught fire.
"I've seen Uncle Shaozong!"
Chen Yiqin walked up to him and saluted respectfully to Lin Haoran.
When Lin Haoran saw Chen Yiqin, he also returned the salute in a proper manner, and left after a few simple words.
Officialdom is like this, in fact, there is no contract, you just need to understand it. Lin Haoran helped Chen Yiqin to find the chief examiner of the Shuntianxiang test, and Chen Yiqin and Lin Haoran formed a tacit understanding.
Huaishu Hutong, Xufu.
Xu Jie returned from sitting in a sedan chair, and his thin face looked a little dignified. Lin Haoran had all kinds of incidents, and the forces of all parties were ready to move, which made him feel uneasy.
In particular, Yuan Wei is now gradually becoming a climate, and with Dong Fen's strong reinforcement, there is already a threat to his position as the first assistant, so that he has to beware of this second assistant who is deeply trusted by the emperor.
Originally, he planned to send Yuan Wei away from Beijing for some time in the name of the saint's sacrifice, but people are not as good as heaven, but Lin Haoran suddenly inserted a leg and let Yuan Wei stay in Beijing in a high-sounding manner to covet his first auxiliary throne.
"Dad, you're back!" Xu Fan seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and said complainingly.
Xu Jie has never had a good face for his son, and he doesn't like this impatient temperament, as if he didn't see Xu Fan.
"I've seen Shibo!" Yang Junmin followed behind Xu Fan and saluted seriously.
Xu Jie looked at Yang Junmin, but showed a smile like a spring breeze, raised his hand to Yang Junmin and said, "Junmin, let's have dinner together!" ”
"Dare to disobey!" A smile appeared on Yang Junmin's face, and he seemed to be polite.
Although the Xu Mansion and the Yang Mansion did not have the friendship of the same township and the same department, the two families had close contacts, and Xu Jie contributed to the restoration of the old salt administration system in the past, which was a great favor to the Yang Mansion and the Jin salt merchants behind it.
The relationship between the two families is already very close, and it seems very common to greet Yang Junmin to eat together.
After dinner, Xu Jie took Yang Junmin to the study, and then asked, "Your father asked you to come over this time?" ”
"Exactly!" Yang Junmin nodded lightly.
Xu Jie took a sip of tea and asked again: "Why did you come?" ”
"Governor of Ningxia!" Yang Junmin said softly.
As if he had already guessed, Xu Jie looked at Yang Junmin with a smile and said, "Wu Shan intends to let his disciple Zhang Wei take this position!" ”
In officialdom, it has always been about giving face to each other. Now that Wu Shan has released a rumor and wants to push Zhang Wei to the throne, then all parties will naturally give in and give up this Ningxia governor.
It's just that now Yang Bo wants to compete for this position, and he is already anxious with Wu Shan, so he naturally wants to make waves.
"So I'm here to ask Shibo for help!" Yang Junmin naturally knew this for a long time, so he responded seriously.
Xu Jie smiled and waved his hand at Yang Junmin, but he didn't make any statement.
Yang Junmin's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't know whether Xu Jie agreed or disagreed, but he still chose to leave with his hand, only hoping that on the day of Tingtui, Xu Jie's side would be able to help.
