Yang Cong didn't expect that Xu Jie and Liu Shouliang would come, and he didn't expect that Xue Nantang and Li Du, who had just returned not long ago, would also come.

Are these people here to attend their wedding?

Of course not, they all came to the capital for a purpose.

Xu Jie and Liu Shouliang came to wait for the officials to be sent by the Ministry of Officials, their term of office has arrived, and it stands to reason that the Ministry of Officials should have transferred them in advance and arranged them to serve elsewhere, but this time the Ministry of Officials did not give them an order, that is, they had to wait.

This situation is actually very normal, tens of thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty, basically every three years to rotate, there are promotions, there are flat transfers, there are demotions, and even there are dismissals and reductions, old and old, etc., it is not surprising that the officials are not busy, especially this year just in time for the Beijing inspection plan, the officials themselves are frequently transferred, some officials have not been arranged, it is normal.

Xu Jie and Liu Shouliang didn't have anything to do anyway, so they simply followed Old Lady Yang to the capital to try their luck, and maybe, if they could find the relationship between the officials and the ministry, maybe they would send a good official.

They didn't know that their luck was so good that they exploded, because when they set off from Quanzhou, Zhang Bangqi had not yet been transferred to the capital to serve as the secretary of the ministry, but at this time the secretary of the ministry had already become their own people, and it was naturally not difficult for them to send a good official.

Xue Nantang and Li Du are actually here to try their luck, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a new imperial examination person like them to send them an official without waiting for a few years, and Yang Cong is already a high school champion at this time, and he is about to marry the Lu family and the Zhang family, which is really a powerful backer, with their relationship, it should not be difficult for Yang Cong to help send an official, so they went back to discuss it with their families, and followed Mrs. Yang to the capital again.

As for Tang Kekuan and the guards, needless to say, Yang Cong originally asked Tang Kekuan to go back with half of the guards to pick up people.

This guy, so many friends came at once, Zhang Zhen also came, his grandfather also came, Yang Cong was naturally excited, that night, Yang Mansion was another feast, except for the old lady of the Zhang family and Zhang Zhen's mother and daughter sent to Zhang's Mansion, other relatives and friends who came with him gathered together and celebrated.

After being full of wine and food, the old lady Yang Rong was dragged by Yang Lin and his wife to discuss the marriage, and Yang Cong was pulled to the guest room by Xu Jie.

The area of the Yang Mansion is very large, and it is not a problem to live in hundreds of people, and it is naturally not a problem to entertain Xu Jie, Liu Shouliang and their guests, Xu Jie lives in the guest room of the Yang Mansion, and it is a separate small courtyard.

The two exchanged politeness, and Xu Jie smiled and said, "Qingfeng, I didn't expect you to really be a high school champion, it's not simple, it's not simple." ”

Yang Cong hurriedly said modestly: "Luck, luck." ”

Xu Jie shook his head and smiled: "Is there any luck in this thing, is it bad luck that my brother didn't have a high school champion at the beginning?" ”

I'm dizzy, this guy is always a little confusing when he speaks.

Yang Cong could only continue to say modestly: "Brother Zisheng said that he laughed, you also know that the top three or even the top two are actually about the same level, and this ranking is just to see the emperor's grace." ”

Xu Jie nodded meaningfully and said: "Yes, it all depends on the emperor's grace, and now the emperor's favor to us may be because of you." ”

Of course, we are not referring to the two of them, but to the Yang Ming lineage.

What does this mean, the emperor's promotion of Yangming is obviously used to counter Xia Yan's party, what does it have to do with himself.

Yang Cong was puzzled: "Brother Zisheng, this shouldn't have anything to do with the younger brother, right?" ”

Xu Jieshen said mysteriously: "Who knows if it has a relationship, you think there is, maybe there is, you think there is not, maybe it really doesn't matter." ”

Faint, what the hell do you mean!

Yang Cong is most afraid of fighting with others, especially Xu Jie, sometimes it is really foggy when he talks.

He thought about it for a while, but he still didn't understand what Xu Jie's words meant.

He could only say helplessly: "Brother Zisheng, please forgive the little brother for being stupid, what are you looking for the little brother?" ”

Xu Jie still said mysteriously: "Do you think Xia Yan's party has the final say?" ”

This is not nonsense, Yang Cong said helplessly: "Now of course, Xia Yan has the final say." ”

Xu Jie asked mysteriously: "What about us, who has the final say?" ”

We?

This seems to be different from what we mean, if you only refer to the Yangming lineage, it seems that there is something missing, such as Zhang Yue, such as the Lu family, and such as Dingguo Gong and other nobles seem to be included in the word "we".

Yang Cong finally understood what Xu Jie meant, Xia Yan's party has a leader, whether it is the current Xia Yan or Yan Song behind, they are all the bosses, and his side seems to be a group of dragons without a leader!

He said thoughtfully: "Brother Zisheng, what do you mean, we want to publicly recommend a person who talks about things?" ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Jie shook his head and said, "This is not so simple, none of us have such prestige." ”

When Yang Cong heard this, he thought about it carefully, the reason why Xia Yan and his party were in the final hands was mainly because Xia Yan's position was the highest, and that guy was the one who almost became the first assistant, so he naturally said nothing in the township party, and he really didn't have a position on his side that was capable of overwhelming the crowd.

This is really a headache, it seems to be a plate of loose sand on my side, how can I play with an old fox like Xia Yan or even Yan Song?

He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zisheng, what do you say?" ”

Xu Jie stared at him and said slowly, "You can invite everyone to have a meal and get together." ”

, this means, let yourself be the boss!

Is it possible?

Of course it is impossible.

Yang Cong is not so arrogant that he thinks that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, he is just a cultivator from the Hanlin Academy of the Sixth Grade, and his position can be said to be the lowest among these people.

He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Brother Zisheng, I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, right?" ”

Xu Jie said lightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Cong said honestly: "I don't have this qualification. ”

Xu Jie still said lightly: "Just invite everyone to have a meal, what qualifications are there that are not qualified, do you think there is anyone who will not give you this face?" ”

This one!

Yang Cong thought about it carefully, there was really no one who would not give him this face, he just invited someone to have a meal, and it was impossible for people to throw his face and not come.

Xu Jie's meaning may be to let himself be a middleman first, bringing everyone together to discuss, so as not to be like a plate of loose sand.

This idea seems to be good, and he nodded solemnly: "If you just invite everyone to have a meal, this little brother should still have it." ”

Is that what Xu Jie means?

Of course not!

He stared at Yang Congshen again and said: "It's not a secret that your family has money, you can't be too stingy, if you have the opportunity, wouldn't it be great if you have a good time to fight your teeth?" ”

fainted to death, which means that he still wants to be the boss, but the means are a little obscure.

Yang Cong couldn't help but say weakly: "Is this good?" ”

Xu Jie still chattered: "It's good that everyone gets used to it." ”

Fainting, can you get used to this kind of thing?

Yang Cong thought about it carefully, this matter, it seems, probably, it seems, there is really a little possibility!
