Chapter 560: Nothing can be done
After Zhang Mingyue and the two fathers-in-law talked about opening the warehouse and releasing grain, Lan Ziyi thought that there was nothing to talk about today, and he was already planning to pack up his things and leave, but he didn't expect Zhang Mingyue to throw out such a bombshell news before he came, which caught Lan Ziyi off guard.
When Zhang Mingyue said this, he had already started to clean up the things on the table, and the two fathers-in-law opposite had already relaxed and planned to lift their butts and leave, coupled with Zhang Mingyue's tone of speech, the two father-in-law almost accepted the matter casually. Seeing this, Lan Ziyi hurriedly got up and said to the two fathers-in-law:
"Father-in-law, Ziyi thinks that this arrangement of Lord Shoufu still needs to be carefully discussed, and he shouldn't make a decision in such a hurry."
Seeing that Lan Ziyi was so solemn, Yu and Long, who had already planned to leave, both put away their steps and sat back on their chairs, and Father-in-law Yu even opened his mouth and asked:
"How do you say this?"
Lan Ziyi said:
"Father-in-law, the reason why Ziyi was able to delay the demon thief for a few days in Jiangbei with Xiangcheng Lonely City is precisely because Gao Yanzong was fully prepared before I entered the city. I am side by side with Gao Yanzong, back-to-back comrades, I know that this person is both civil and military, and he is brave enough to be brave, and he can kill the demon thief in front of the city gate with only a Guan Wang knife.
Moreover, before the advent of this year's drought, Gao Yanzong had already taken precautions and promoted the planting of drought-tolerant crops imported by foreigners such as Yushu millet and sweet potatoes in the county, so that Xiangcheng was saved from famine this summer, and the performance of the officials was impeccable. How can this be true? β
As soon as Lan Ziyi said this, Father-in-law Yu also remembered that he seemed to have mentioned this person before, but this is not important, the important thing is the current form, now Zhang Mingyue Fang wants to demote this person and Lan Ziyi is protecting this person, Father-in-law Yu can naturally see that it is an extremely beneficial thing for himself to protect this person.
Not only did Father-in-law Yu see it, but Father-in-law Long also saw it, and only listened to Grandpa Long's justice:
"After Wei Hou reminded me like this, I also remembered Gao Yanzong. I remember that when he entered the city a few days ago, he also led the troops into the city with the team. Moreover, the official position that Lord Shoufu planned to give to Gao Yanzong before was that Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Officials, concurrently served as the assistant director of the Beijing camp, how can it be said that if he was transferred to the Jihu Camp, he would be transferred to the Jihu Camp? β
The two fathers-in-law came forward to question Zhang Mingyue's proposal, and Zhang Mingyue naturally couldn't sit idly by, and Du Ji, who was beside him, opened his mouth to explain:
"Gao Yanzong is brave and overperforming, and Lord Shoufu thinks that it is really useless to let him continue to serve as a clerical officer. The staff member Wai Lang is only from the fifth grade, and the Jihu Battalion is the fifth grade, and he can still play his expertise if he is promoted to half a level, so this arrangement is a good thing for Gao Yanzong. β
Lan Ziyi sneered in his heart when he heard this, who doesn't know that in Taizheng, the martial profession is naturally half a level lower than the civilian profession? No matter how beautiful Du Qi's words are, they can't hide their sinister intentions, and the reason why Gao Yanzong was dismissed and sent to the military camp is nothing more than the matter of speaking for Lan Ziyi.
Lan Ziyi said:
"The imperial examination jinshi in Gao Yanzong is not a martial artist, and there has never been a civilian official reappointed as a military general on the front line of my Taizheng Sect, and it is difficult for Lord Shoufu to convince the public with such an arrangement. Moreover, the Dongji Tiger Battalion was completely lost in the battle to suppress bandits, and the current Dongji Tiger Battalion does not even have a shelf, I want to ask Lord Shoufu, what is the intention of letting Gao Yanzong go to lead an empty battalion? β
After Lan Ziyi said that, Du Ji planned to open his mouth to fight back, but Zhang Mingyue stopped Du Ji. Zhang Mingyue did not answer Lan Ziyi, but said to the two fathers-in-law:
"Just like I can't control the palace in dealing with the eunuchs in the palace, the officials also have the idea of the officials to make personnel arrangements, since they are even dead
The mission was handled by the two fathers-in-law themselves, is there anything to criticize about the normal arrangement of personnel in our ministry? β
As soon as Zhang Mingyue found out that the deputy of the imperial horse supervisor died on the grassland, Gonggong Yu and Gonggong Long shut up.
Father-in-law Yu turned his face to Lan Ziyi and said:
"Ziyi, sit down, the cabinet should not be big or small."
Gonggong Long said to Zhang Mingyue:
"I see that the cabinet has other matters to deal with, so I won't bother Lord Shousuke here."
Saying that, Grandpa Long and Grandpa Yu got up and walked out to play, and everyone in the cabinet naturally got up and politely saw them off.
Lan Ziyi didn't immediately get up with Father-in-law Long and Father-in-law Yu, he sat on the chair and sighed, blaming himself for his inability, until the two fathers-in-law were about to go out, Lan Ziyi accepted the reality that he couldn't protect Gao Yanzong, and got up to go out with the two fathers-in-law.
Before leaving the cabinet, Long and Yu had been walking side by side, and when they were about to leave the cabinet, Long's father-in-law suddenly said:
"Brother Yu, the deputy of the Imperial Horse Supervisor that you promoted, always came to me to pat himself before, showing his loyalty, and what he did was very despicable. This time I didn't die in Saibei. β
Hearing this, Gonggong Yu glanced at Gonggong Long, and he said:
"If he dies or not, he is the person I promoted, so I don't have to worry about my father-in-law."
Hearing this, Gonggong Long smiled and said:
"That is, my brother's people are naturally under your brother's control, and I'm not qualified to intervene."
Father-in-law Long's words were quite useful to Father-in-law Yu, and when he heard this, he waved his hand and said to Father-in-law Long:
"You and I don't go the same way, forgive me for not being able to send it far."
Then Father-in-law Yu greeted Lan Ziyi and said:
"Ziyi, come, you and I will stop by the way, let's go together."
Lan Ziyi, who was following behind, first bowed to Gonggong Long, and then followed Gonggong Yu's footsteps and walked towards the Zhaoxian Gate in the east.
After leaving the cabinet, Father-in-law Yu said to Lan Ziyi:
"Ziyi, you Gao Yanzong, he is unlucky, he is a civil official and dares to offend Zhang Mingyue, and I can't help him."
Lan Ziyi sighed when he heard this:
"He was upset for me when he saw Zhang Mingyue after he entered Beijing, so he offended Zhang Mingyue."
Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu turned his head and glanced at Lan Ziyi, and then he said:
"If that's the case, then I should have said a few words for him just now."
Lan Ziyi smiled a little lonely wryly:
"My father-in-law was also alone just now, Ziyi understands."
Father-in-law Yu nodded and said:
"As long as Ziyi understands, it is impossible for me to overturn the overall situation alone. It's just that Gao Yanzong is so righteous, and I can't treat him badly. β
Lan Ziyi smiled and nodded when he heard this, just thinking that Father-in-law Yu was talking empty words. However, Father-in-law Yu was obviously very concerned, and he continued:
"Since there is no one in the Dongji Tiger Camp, Ziyi wants to make up for him, which can be regarded as a brotherhood."
Lan Ziyi didn't understand Father-in-law Yu's words, he asked:
"What does the recruitment of the Beijing army have to do with me? Where did I get the ability to recruit people for the Dongji Tiger Camp? β
Hearing this, Father-in-law Yu raised his hand and knocked on Lan Ziyi's brain, and he said:
"Why are you so smart, kid, suddenly not enlightened? His Jihu battalion is a cavalry, and your Beizhen is also a cavalry, is there no one who has retired from the army and does not do it? β
Father-in-law Yu supplied Lan Ziyi with these words, and Lan Ziyi immediately surrendered to the matter. Under normal circumstances, the Beijing army only selects strong men from the forbidden army, and only generals can be recruited into the Beijing army, and if ordinary soldiers are recruited into the Beijing camp, they will generally be disrupted and absorbed into the Beijing army in batches little by little, in order to turn the feudal soldiers into the emperor's trustworthy Beijing army, and prevent the strength of the feudal town from infiltrating into the capital.
But this time to suppress the bandits, the loss of the Beijing camp is huge, Zhang Mingyue moved most of the Eastern Army directly to the capital as a Beijing camp, and suddenly let the hand of the foreign dynasty reach into the army, and the Yu Gonggong opened his mouth at this time also has the meaning of leading the northern army into Beijing to balance the foreign dynasty. Originally, the identity files of the sergeants in the Beijing camp were all reviewed and controlled by the Taicheng Guard, but now that Father-in-law Yu said to Lan Ziyi that it was tantamount to letting go of his hand and letting Lan Ziyi pull people over, what else did Lan Ziyi dare not do?
So Lan Ziyi gave up his hand and thanked Father-in-law Yu, and Father-in-law Yu instructed:
"Zhang Mingyue arranged such a big pomp and circumstance, how could those saint protΓ©gΓ©s under him let go of this opportunity to get up and down? I agreed with him to open a warehouse for disaster relief, but I didn't agree with him to embezzle, Weihou, aren't you hooked up with Li Chenghai? Let's check on his food for me, how can I let Zhang Mingyue peel off his skin this time. β
