Yang Cong has returned to Beijing!

This afternoon, the big guy of Yangming's lineage came home from work, and when he saw the invitation sent by Yang Cong, he realized that this kid had come back so quietly.

His return to Beijing in this way was really beyond the expectations of many people.

In these years, when the governor or governor or governor returned to Beijing, he would arrange a corresponding welcome according to the merits he had made.

If the performance is average, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will also arrange for the imperial historian to greet him to show his hard work.

If the performance is outstanding, then there will be a grand welcome ceremony, and the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, the Six Books, the Cabinet Scholars, and even the Emperor himself may appear in the welcoming procession.

Yang Cong went to not only one place this time, but two places, if you count the time when he ran back from Shanxi without permission, it would be three places.

In other words, he served as governor and governor three times, and made countless achievements, and the imperial court has not arranged a formal ceremony to welcome him back to Beijing.

In the past few years, he has made remarkable achievements, not to mention that he has repelled the Tartar attacks many times in Shanxi, nor has he rectified the rule of officials in Guangxi, punished corrupt officials, and reclaimed nearly 200,000 hectares of cultivated land.

It stands to reason that when such a great hero who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats returns to Beijing, the emperor will not say that he will personally go to greet him, but at least send six scholars and even cabinet scholars to greet him outside the city to show his grandeur.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong came back so quietly!

What's going on here?

Yang Cong embezzled dirty silver to open up wasteland, Jiajing really didn't know how to evaluate this matter, so he issued a strict order not to allow anyone to discuss this matter.

This is to save Yang Cong's face, but also to save his own face.

Therefore, most of the officials in the court didn't even know why Yang Cong was recruited.

Of course, the bigwigs of Yangming's lineage still knew about this, and when they received Yang Cong's invitation, they could only sigh.

Alas, Yang Cong, this kid, what he did this time is too reckless, even if you want to use the dirty silver of those corrupt officials to encourage the opening of the wasteland, you can also play the court, the emperor disagrees is another matter, at least you yourself will be fine.

It's okay now, I've worked hard outside for so many years, and I've made so many miraculous achievements, all of which have been messed up by Yan Song's traitor!

Everyone felt sorry for Yang Cong and was not worth it, and Yang Cong's fall from grace also made the situation in the capital extremely unfavorable, so when the bigwigs from all parties gathered in Yang Cong's mansion, there was no joy of reunion after a long absence, let alone the laughter of the past, everyone was sad and sat there without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yang Cong could only smile and say, "What's wrong with everyone, don't you want to see me?" ”

It's a joke, and everyone just wants to roll their eyes.

Lu Bing couldn't help but complain: "You, you're still in the mood to joke, your own good future is about to be tossed away by you, do you know?" “

Jingshan Hou Cui Yuan couldn't help but regret and said: "Yes, Qingfeng, the old man is an idler, everyone knows that this time, if you don't make any big mistakes, after returning to Beijing, at least the six books are actually in the office, and it is even possible to enter the cabinet directly, alas, what you have done is really impossible to say." ”

Yang Cong nodded bravely and admitted his mistake: "Okay, I am indeed a little reckless this time, I will not take an example, I will not take an example, by the way, what is the situation in the capital now?" ”

If you want to talk about this, it is naturally Zhang Bangqi, the old and serious secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who has the most right to speak.

As soon as he saw that everyone's eyes were gathered, he could only shake his head and sigh: "Qingfeng, you really played a stinky move this time, originally, the situation in the capital can be described as very good, we almost suppressed Xia Yan and Yan Song and their party with the help of you to exterminate the power of the Japanese in the southeast, and the emperor even had the intention of transferring Zisheng and Dafu back to Beijing to serve as the six squires." If you go on this stinky move, the emperor suddenly became disgusted with us, and at this moment we were suppressed by Xia Yan and Yan Song's party, these two guys are too powerful. ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but nod and said: "Well, Xia Yan and Yan Song can be described as one good and one evil, one is outrageous, and the other is terrifying, these two people are just complementary to each other, and it is really difficult to deal with them." ”

At this time, Nie Bao couldn't help but speak: "Then what do you say, if it goes on like this, let alone the tone of the promotion, they will return to Beijing to serve as the squire of the Sixth Ministry, I'm afraid we old guys won't last long and will be pulled off by Xia Yan and Yan Song." ”

The current situation is indeed a bit critical for the Yangming lineage, because the older generation such as Zhang Bangqi and Nie Bao are almost there, while the younger generation such as Xu Jie and Tang Shunzhi have not yet grown up.

What Jiajing will do with Yang Cong, I don't know at this time.

In short, after Yang Cong was unexpectedly recalled to Beijing this time, Yang Ming's vein can be said to have suffered a fatal blow, and if it is not handled well, they are likely to be uprooted by Xia Yan and Yan Song.

You must know that Xia Yan and Yan Songke are both veterans who have been fighting in officialdom for a long time, how could they miss such a great opportunity.

When Yang Cong heard this, he nodded slightly, and then said wisely: "I have thought of a trick that may be able to solve the crisis in front of me." ”

When everyone heard this, they all perked up, although Yang Cong made a bad move this time, it does not mean that his level is not good, on the contrary, his level at other times is still quite high, at least, no one here is at his level.

At this time, this kid can still come up with a good way, what is the solution?

Yang Cong saw everyone's expectant eyes, and hurriedly explained: "My move is called retreat as advance, or it is called driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, Xia Yan and Yan Song's combination is indeed impossible for us to fight, then, let's stop fighting and let them fight by themselves, maybe they will fight and lose both, and at that time, we will have a chance." ”

Retreat?

Driving the tiger and devouring the wolf?

This trick sounds quite profound, but everyone present is not unlearned, many people understand after a little thought, only Lu Bing, a guy who "doesn't learn and doesn't know", couldn't help but be curious: "What does it mean to retreat as advance, will Xia Yan and Yan Song really fight by themselves?" ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he wanted to roll his eyes, if this guy wasn't the emperor's milk brother, he would be able to be a hundred households in Jinyiwei if he died, and it was difficult to even be a thousand, because there are also many shrewd people in Jinyiwei, he is a stunned young man, and he can barely be considered a martial artist, but he is far worse than others.

However, it is precisely because this guy is the emperor's brother that he is quite important, and he must not be neglected.

Yang Cong could only explain helplessly: "The so-called retreat is that we take a step back and don't fight with Xia Yan and Yan Song, so that they will temporarily lose their goal." It's nothing if Xia Yan loses his goal, because he is already the head of the cabinet, and there is nothing to pursue any further. Yan Song is different, he is still just a cabinet scholar, he has to listen to Xia Yan for everything, how can a greedy person like him be willing to be subservient. Therefore, as long as we retreat and don't fight with them, Yan Song will definitely compete with Xia Yan for the position of the first assistant of the cabinet! ”
