Chapter 607 - Candidates (3)
(Thank you for the monthly pass of "Baba Bear 123" and "Three, XX"!) )
Fang Fengnian listened quietly to Ma Mingyuan's explanation, although Ma Mingyuan picked himself very cleanly and put the basin on the emperor's head. But Fang Fengnian is not a primary school student, there is someone who you Ma Mingyuan can convince with a few words.
Fang Fengnian listened to Ma Mingyuan and asked: "Yuan Fu, I recommend Xiaguan because Xiaguan and Tong Tuchang have a bad relationship, so I want to spy on Tong Tuchang?" ”
Ma Mingyuan didn't expect Fang Fengnian to tell the truth, but Ma Mingyuan's thick skin was comparable to the bend of the city wall, Ma Mingyuan smiled and said: "That's right, teacher!" Now there are many traitors in the DPRK and China, and if Tong Yangjia is allowed to develop again, I will not have good fruits to eat, so this peace talk must not let Tong Tuchang get benefits, and other people are not at ease when they go to the students, so they have no choice but to ask the teacher to come out! ”
Fang Fengnian nodded, this is like words, who can recommend himself for promotion for no reason? But this is in harmony with one's heart.
Fang Fengnian is Ma Jiyuan's confidant, although the Ma family brothers are not in harmony with each other, but now it is better to deal with external contradictions first, first bring down Tong Yangjia, and then the Ma family brothers will divide the big and small kings.
After getting what he wanted, Fang Fengnian stood up and said: "Please rest assured Yuanfu, the lower officials must not let the traitorous party succeed!" ”
Ma Mingyuan was overjoyed when he heard Fang Fengnian say this: "Teacher, it's best to borrow the hand of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to kill Tong Tuchang, so that Tong Yangjia has one less arm." ”
Fang Fengnian gasped when he heard Ma Mingyuan's vicious idea, the civil service system still has the final moral bottom line, that is, as long as the political struggle fails, the enemy will let people go. But this Ma Mingyuan repeatedly broke the rules, and put Chen Zizhuang to death the year before last, if it weren't for someone pleading for Chen Zizhuang's family, hundreds of people would have landed now, and now he wants to kill Tong Tuchang, which is really a bit more than Fang Fengnian's bottom line.
Ma Mingyuan saw Fang Fengnian hesitating, thinking that he didn't dare, Ma Mingyuan said: "Teacher, don't worry, there is a brocade guard in your team, Zhao Mengguan, who is our person, if you don't understand, you can ask him!" ”
Fang Fengnian was even more shocked when he heard Ma Mingyuan say this, when did Ma Lao Er and Jinyiwei get together, it seemed that he was going to remind Ma Jiyuan, his second brother was very dangerous.
At this time, Zhao Mengguan, the secretary of the Jinyi Guard, also received the emperor's holy decree, and he was very happy to see that he finally didn't have to be the head of this cell, and he had served that Zhao Dequan like a father for half a year.
At that time, Zhao Mengguan woke up by Qian's bereavement, and he couldn't rely on Qian Lide, so why not rely on the prince's thicker thighs. Zhao Mengguan immediately brought gifts to visit the king of Wuchang County after Qian Yiai left.
Of course, he couldn't see the king of Wuchang County at all with this status, and he was a housekeeper in the county king's mansion who could see him, but after learning the reason why Zhao Mengguan came, the eldest son of the king of Wuchang County, Zhao Hu, immediately came forward to meet Zhao Mengguan.
Zhao Hu was not a literati, and after learning of Zhao Mengguan's identity, he immediately took out a silver ticket of 1,000 silver dollars and handed it to Zhao Mengguan, asking him to take care of Zhao Dequan.
Zhao Hu said: "Zhao Zhenfu, you probably know what the relationship between me and Zhao Dequan is, Zhao Dequan's father is my father's own uncle, don't worry, my family will not forget your kindness to my family!" ”
Zhao Mengguan wanted this sentence, but he didn't ask for a silver ticket. Zhao Mengguan is also considered to have been mixed in officialdom, although the money relationship is the safest, but it is also the most impersonal. If you want to take refuge with the prince, and then ask for the money of the king of Wuchang County, then the prince will look down on him.
"General Zhao, don't worry, although Zhao is not a big official, he just likes to make friends with a bold person like General Zhao. Zhao Xiaoqi can't use a few dollars in prison, and General Zhao is asked to take back the money! ”
Zhao Hu heard Zhao Mengguan say this, so he looked at Zhao Mengguan, and then smiled: "Okay!" In this case, Zhao is not pretentious! ”
Zhao Hu took back the silver ticket and continued: "Zhao Zhenfu, since you don't want silver, but the favor Wuchang County Mansion has written it down, I don't know if there is anything that can help you?" "Zhao Hu knows that people don't want silver tickets, but they encounter problems that can't be solved. It stands to reason that his father is not involved in the affairs of the court, but now that his uncle Zhao Dequan is involved, it is really difficult to do it if he does not return to his family.
Zhao Mengguan was waiting for Zhao Hu's words, Zhao Mengguan sighed and said: "General Zhao, after the subordinate made meritorious service in Jiangxi, because he was not a descendant of Qian Lide, he was secretly demoted by Mingsheng to become a cell leader, and the subordinate is really angry!" ”
"Zhao Zhenfu, do you want my father to find a money commander to share a word or two for you?" Hearing Zhao Mengguan say this, Zhao Hu was a little unhappy, can his father ask for money for you?
Seeing that Zhao Hu was a little unhappy, Zhao Mengguan hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, what kind of person am I who dare to bother the prince, the lower official knows that General Zhao and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are relatives, and the lower official wants to ask General Zhao to talk about the lower official in front of the prince!" ”
Zhao Hu only knew at this time that Zhao Mengguan was looking for a backer, Zhao Hu glanced at Zhao Mengguan deeply, and said with a smile: "It seems that Zhao Zhen has great wisdom!" This Zhao can promise you, but Zhao can't guarantee the result! ”
Zhao Mengguan was overjoyed when he heard Zhao Hu say this, and quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "As long as General Zhao passes a word, General Zhao will be the great benefactor of the lower officials!" ”
Zhao Hu is the brother-in-law of the crown prince Zhu Hai, so naturally he can often see the prince, and then tell Zhu Hai about Zhao Mengguan. Zhu Hai also wanted to install his own people in Jinyiwei, which was under the control of Qian Lide, so he could only speak for Zhao Mengguan when recommending candidates for the north.
Zhao Mengguan didn't expect the prince to really do things for himself, and after receiving the holy decree, he was overjoyed, and he was about to bring gifts to meet the prince.
But Zhao Mengguan didn't think about it right, what is his identity, it is impossible for the prince to see him, after thinking about it, Zhao Mengguan decided to see Qian Yiai, after all, Qian Yiai is also his guide.
At this time, Qian Yiai was working in the Shangyuan County Ya, and after Zhu Hongsan's ruthless killing, Shangyuan County except for Qian Yiai went to the eighteenth layer of hell hand in hand, and now the officials of the Shangyuan County Ya are all newly selected personnel.
These officials had just been cleaned up by the Jinyi Guard, and the head of the predecessor was still hanging on the city gate, and now when they saw Zhao Mengguan, a senior official of the Jinyi Guard, coming to the door, they were so frightened that they were all scared.
Zhao Mengguan was amused when he saw the loss of these officials, and stepped forward to grab one of the officials and asked, "Can you Qian County Order be inside?" ”
The official cried and said, "This grandfather, the villain just came to work and didn't take a penny, please spare me!" ”
Zhao Mengguan was impatient with his crying, and pushed these people away and walked into the county government by himself.
Qian Yiai was laughing with his wife Chen in the back house at this time, and a maid outside came in and said in horror: "Master, madam, there is a Jinyi Wei official outside, saying that he wants to see the master!" ”
Chen is also a frightened bird, when Chen Zizhuang committed the crime, it was Jinyiwei who went to Qianfu to arrest Chen, and now I heard that Jinyiwei is here again, and he also named him to see his father-in-law, Chen cried: "Master, you must be here to catch the concubine, what can I do!" ”
Qian Yiai patted Chen's hand and said, "Madame, don't worry, your husband can save you once and save you a second time!" After saying that, Qian Yiai got up and walked out of the back house, and went to the front to see the Jinyi Wei official.
Zhao Mengguan saw Qian Yiai come out, and quickly knelt down on his knees and called him a benefactor!
Qian Yiai saw that this brocade guard was wearing a four-grade official uniform, this was a big official in the brocade guard, and he didn't remember knowing this kind of big spy leader. However, this person called himself a benefactor, and he didn't look like he was here to handle the case.
Qian Yiai stepped forward to help Zhao Mengguan and asked, "This lord, who are you?" Why do you see Qian called a benefactor? "It stands to reason that Qian Yi's love is the sixth grade, and the Jinyi Wei command is the fourth grade, and Zhao Mengguan's grade is much higher than that of Qian Yi's love. However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the generals were suppressed, and a general soldier of the second rank had to kneel and kowtow when he saw the county order of the seventh grade. Therefore, Qian Yiai claimed that he had lost his identity as a subordinate official, and he claimed that he was afraid of annoying this big spy leader, and claimed that the old man was not so old, so he had no choice but to call himself Qian.
Zhao Meng locked up and said: "Lord Qian, the nobles are so forgetful, the lower official is the head of the edict Zhao Mengguan!" ”
Zhao Mengguan said that the edict of the prison Qian bereaved to remember, it turned out to be the cell boss who was fooled by himself.
"It turned out to be Lord Zhao, it looks like I'm going to congratulate Lord Zhao, and I've been promoted again!"
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Zhao Mengguan said with a smile: "This is also thanks to Lord Qian, if it weren't for Lord Qian's guidance, Zhao was still in the edict as a cell leader, then he could be trusted by the prince and promoted!" ”
Qian Yiai also told the prince about Zhao Mengguan at that time, but he didn't expect that there would be an official vacancy so soon.
"Lord Zhao, I don't know where to go!"
"Mr. Qian, just call me in small print! With the recommendation of the crown prince, let Xia Guan serve as the deputy envoy of the northbound peace negotiation mission, responsible for protecting the safety of the main envoy Tong and the deputy envoy Fang! ”
Qian Yiai has been worrying about his own affairs for the past few days, and he didn't care about the affairs of the court, and now that he heard that the mission was selected, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "I see, I don't know which one is Lord Tong and Master Fang?" ”
Because Zhao Mengguan is a brocade guard, he still has a few friends in the palace, which is much stronger than Fang Fengnian, who has black eyes, so he doesn't need to ask the Ministry of Rites.
"Lord Qian, it's like this, the envoy is Tong Ge Lao's nephew Tong Tuchang Tong, and the deputy envoy is the Yangzhou prefect Fang Fengnian!"
"Lord Fang? But the Yangzhou prefect who knocked out Tong Tuchang's front teeth? ”
"Yes, it's these two adults!"
Qian Yiai listened to these two enemies, and he was happy in his heart, and it seemed that this peace talk was promising.
"Lord Zhao, since you should be promoted to thank the prince, why did you come to me?"
Zhao Mengguan said in a low voice: "Lord Qian, although my old Zhao doesn't study, but I also know that there is an Entu report, this time His Royal Highness the Crown Prince recommended Lao Zhao, there must be something for Lao Zhao to do, but Lao Zhao I have a limited IQ, and this kind of major event can't be discussed, there is no way to only come to Lord Qian, I hope Lord Qian will solve Lao Zhao's doubts!" ”
Qian Yiai smiled in his heart when he heard Zhao Mengguan say this, he knew very well what the prince asked Zhao Mengguan to do.
"Lord Zhao, it's right for you to come to me, the prince recommended you this time in the hope that you will make this peace talk yellow!"
