Li Shi's tone has completely regarded him as a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and this is what Yang Cong wants.

He didn't come to invite Li Shi to preside over the wedding this time for the sake of face, he didn't want to brand himself with the imprint of Yangming Yimai, because Yangming Yimai is essentially a conservative group, and his thinking is inevitably limited by this era.

His thinking is not the thinking of this era, and he also knows that if he continues to follow the thinking of this era, it is impossible for Daming to be reborn.

The so-called "Tao is different and does not conspire with each other", perhaps, he will have a conflict with the Yangming line in the future, he doesn't want to be branded with the mark of the Yangming lineage, and then he will be charged with betraying the teacher.

At this time, he had already begun to think about cultivating his own forces, and this time he came to Li Shi for more than half of it.

Li Shi's character, he also knew it before he came, this Li Shi can be said to be a strange officialdom.

He is loyal and honest, never fights for power with others, originally according to his qualifications, he should have been the first assistant of the cabinet long ago, because when Zhang Xuan was still white, he was the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and he was already a cabinet scholar before Xia Yan entered the cabinet.

However, he silently watched Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing and others step down, watched Zhang Xuan, Huo Tao, Fang Xianfu and other ups and downs, even when there were only two people left in the cabinet, he never thought about competing for the position of first assistant in the cabinet.

He is also very generous to people, he has never bullied others, let alone framed others for personal gain, so it can be said that he is a standard good person.

This kind of person can actually mix in the officialdom, and he has also mixed into the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, I have to say, it's really a bit strange.

It is precisely because of his strange personality that Yang Cong dares to come to him, if someone else is the first assistant, he is a champion who has just entered the officialdom and dares to run to beg for this and that, and people have to blast him out.

At this time, Li Shi had already misunderstood that he was a big celebrity in front of Jiajing, so it was even better to say this, and he lost no time in saying: "Lord Shoufu, the lower official still wants to ask you for a small favor." ”

Li Shi took the trouble to say, "Oh, what's the matter? ”

Yang Cong hurriedly explained: "That's the case, when Xiaguan went to Beijing to take the exam this time, he walked with many like-minded students, but unfortunately, most of them didn't pass the exam, and the group only had the title of Xiaguan, Wang Xuan, and Hu Zongxian in the end. Now that the lower officials have entered the Hanlin, Wang Xuan and Hu Zongxian still have no official and half positions, and the lower officials are really worried about them. If it's convenient for Lord Shoufu, please do me a favor and arrange an official position for them at will, and the lower officials are here to thank Lord Shoufu for them. ”

It turned out to be asking for an official, if it was someone else, Li Shi would probably politely decline, but this Yang Cong is different, he wants to have a good relationship with this big celebrity in front of the emperor, and the matter of this official is just a trivial matter for him, why not do it.

Of course, he won't really send an official to someone at will, just forget it, the so-called "good people do it to the end, send Buddha to the west." Since they are ready to give people a favor, the more polite this favor is, the better.

He smiled and asked, "How are they ranking in the palace exam?" ”

Yang Cong pretended to be ashamed and said: "Alas, their ranking in this palace test is also a little unsatisfactory, Hu Zongxian is only the bottom of the second class, and Wang Xuan is even ranked in the middle of the top three." ”

It's actually nothing, as long as you don't count down, you don't have to worry about gossip.

Li Shi then asked: "Then do you want to keep them in the capital, or send them to work in the local government?" ”

Isn't this nonsense, of course, staying in the capital, compared to the future, where can the local officials compare with the Beijing officials.

However, Yang Cong knew that this was not nonsense, Li Shi meant that he was going to send an adult to himself.

He hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Lord Shoufu, if you can keep them in the capital, the lower officials will be grateful." ”

This kid, yes, knows that the gratitude is illustrated, and this favor should not be given away in vain.

When Li Shi heard this, he nodded, pondered for a while, and then said solemnly: "You should also know that this Beijing official sometimes does not have a higher position, the better, if you want to have a great future, the best is to enter Hanlin, followed by being a speech official, although the first-level position of the head of the six departments is high, it is not as good as the speech official, as for the officials of the five temples, it is not to mention." However, their ranking is really a bit low, this Hu Zongxian can reluctantly send an imperial history, and if this Wang Xuan is a minister, he can send a director of six ministries at most, what do you think? ”

Yang Cong couldn't help but be grateful: "Thank you, Lord Shoufu." ”

Li Shi waved his hand and wrote lightly: "A little thing, not enough to worry about, by the way, what is this Wang Xuan's expertise, the functions of the six departments are different, which yamen do you think is more suitable for him to go to?" ”

fainted to death, Li Shi is too good, he even considered this for himself.

Yang Cong was moved and said: "Lord Shoufu, the lower officials don't know what to say, your kindness, the lower officials have written it down, but there will be a dispatch in the future, please don't be polite." Speaking of this Wang Xuan, he really has expertise, he is a craftsman, and he has studied the principle of knowledge of things, and the lower officials feel that if they can be sent to the Ministry of Industry, they will definitely be able to show their strengths. ”

Li Shi nodded without hesitation and said: "That's okay, just the head of the Ministry of Works, can you still have something to do?" ”

The meaning of this is to send off the guests.

In recent years, there are two ways to send off guests, if the relationship is good, just ask if there is anything else, and if the relationship is average, then pick up the teacup and blow it.

Yang Cong also knew that at this time, the Jingguan didn't dare to rest too late, because he had to get up early the next day, especially for an elderly person like Li Shi, basically he came back to have a meal and then took a walk, and then he should go to sleep, he had been disturbing others for a long time.

He quickly got up and thanked him solemnly, and then left.

As soon as the matter of Hu Zongxian and Wang Xuan's dispatch of officials is resolved, Yang Cong will basically have nothing to do during this time, just wait for his parents, grandfather, and Zhang Zhen to come to the capital, and he can hold a wedding.

He originally wanted to pick up his parents in person, but he was delayed because of the visit to the emperor's mausoleum, and he could only dispel this thought at this time, and honestly waited in the capital.

He thought that it would not take long for his parents to rush to the capital, because Shanxi was not far from the capital, but he never thought that after waiting for a long time, he not only failed to wait for his parents, but also received bad news.

His parents even asked someone to send a message to ask him if he was in a hurry, and if he was in a hurry, they would not exchange it for salt and would come directly to the capital.

Although his parents didn't say it clearly in the letter, he could guess that there might be a big trouble in Shanxi, otherwise they wouldn't have left the salt and didn't change it, and came directly to the capital.

You know, the salt introduction is also with the time limit, if the specified time can not be sent to the border town, then it will be troublesome, because the border army can not run off the grain, once the corresponding traders do not deliver the grain and grass on time, the Nanjing household department will quickly allocate the grain and grass, then the vendor will not only lose the share of salt introduction, but will also be severely punished.

Sani is naughty, who dares to make a stumbling block for his parents, and he is impatient!

Yang Cong immediately decided to go to Shanxi to welcome his parents to the capital, and at the same time, teach those things that don't have long eyes.

He didn't have time to tell his parents about the second two percent of the salt quota, this kind of thing was inconvenient in the letter after all, he originally wanted to wait for his parents to come to Beijing and tell them in person, now, just go directly to Shanxi to see, if this salt share can't be done now, the back two percent of the salt share can't be done!
