Chapter 148

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xu Shangyong suddenly asked, "Brother Shangjing...... Not married yet, right? ”

Hearing this, Yang Shangjing's eyelids jumped, and he said in his heart that you all care about what I am doing if I am married or not, although I don't have a wife by my side now, there are still two beautiful concubines, what do you want, what is there to hinder you without a wife?

However, people asked this out of kindness, and Yang Shangjing couldn't put on a face: "In the early years, I was dedicated to the imperial examination, and the eldest father was not allowed to get close to women. ”

Xu Shangyong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "There are many nobles in Nanjing, and there are also many women of the right age, if Brother Shang Jing doesn't dislike it, after I turn around, I will help you ask, how about it?" ”

In an instant, Yang Shangjing is mind turned, the marriage between the upper echelons is not a child's affection, most of them are the embodiment of political standing or betting, not to mention that there is no freedom of marriage in these years, even if there is, you have to get married first, the difference may be that in this era, after getting married, you can't cultivate feelings, only men can fool around outside, and when marriage is free, men and women cuckold each other.

Is it difficult to become a master in Beijing...... What are the new developments that have not been achieved recently? Otherwise, Xu Shangyong, who has a head and face in this Nanjing noble, would not have directly sent him such a big gift package, you must know that marriage has always been regarded as the strongest alliance in this era.

"Then thank you Brother Shang Yong." Yang Shangjing laughed, and did not refuse, his current "allies" in the court, to put it bluntly, is because Wang Zhen, a common enemy, gathered, Yang Rong's legacy is only a secondary reason, the foundation is too shallow, it is easy to stand unstable, at this time, if you marry Nanjing nobles who have the same needs, you can indeed quickly increase your actual influence in the court, not like now, there is only a big hat of "the first person to advocate against eunuchs".

After the two finished eating, Yang Shangjing sent the other party out of the back office, watched him turn to the pavilion, couldn't help but fall into deep thought, turned to look at Uncle Zhong, and asked, "What news has come from Lijing recently?" This Nanjing nobleman wants to marry me, presumably because the foreign dynasty has won a big victory now, and wants to use my name to make the next heavy bet. ”

Uncle Zhong shook his head: "Although the news of this family is also fast, it is not as good as Xungui's channel after all, and not to mention whether the news is accurate, just the speed of inquiring about the news and collecting and sorting it is more than a step slower." ”

Yang Shangjing was silent, and could only nod, there was no "own people" in the upper class, it was indeed a hard thing, the Yang family was in the Beijing Division, as early as when Yang Rong died of illness in the Wulin Station, he had already withdrawn a seven, seven, eighty, eight, eight, and all the way south, he couldn't play his own banner, and he couldn't use the post station of the government, and the transmission speed was affected, plus there was still a distance from Nanjing to Taizhou, Zhejiang, and he couldn't figure out what was going on in the Beijing Division.

Looking up at the clouds in the sky, Yang Shangjing couldn't help but sigh: "If it is said that it is close to the center, it is natural to recommend Hanlin first, and now among the Hanlin, that Zhang Cong has been promoted and revised, if I contact him by letter, is it ......?"

As soon as he said this, Uncle Zhong shook his head: "Young master, Hanlin Xiu has the responsibility of recording His Majesty's words and deeds, and he is a close minister, although the young master has some friendship with that Zhang Cong, he is in Zhejiang at the moment, but he can't be easily contacted, and the crime of colluding with close ministers is not so easy to bear." ”

In the Hanlin system, the speed of promotion depends on seniority, and the other depends on relationships, and there is a good one, that is, it is not very eye-catching, but as long as the officials within Hanlin are transferred, the level must be raised. Everyone will choose to stay up in Hanlin for a little longer.

Zhang Cong's promotion and revision is a signal, the cabinet values him very much, even if he is not allowed to enter the cabinet in two years, he will be transferred after he gets the position of lecturer, and this is actually Yang Shangjing's love, if Yang Shangjing didn't give him the opportunity to go to Yang Pu in the same township to perform, his brain would definitely have to be suppressed for a few more years, so it is not impossible for Yang Shangjing to get news from him.

However, as Uncle Zhong said, it is a bit embarrassing to revise this position, the emperor's living record is written by these people, and the distance from the emperor before is a little farther than that of the eunuchs, and writing a letter to this kind of person by himself who offended Wang Zhen and Jin Ying is similar to handing a knife to someone - colluding with the four words of close ministers, and then following a "conspiracy", there is no problem at all.

"That's really...... Alas! Yang Shangjing stomped his feet, he was a little angry, Hanlin Qingliu can't make friends, and the officials can't make friends, not to mention that the leakage in the Metropolitan Procuratorate itself is similar to a sieve, it is the official of the Dao Yan, after a few unlucky eggs were thrown into the Jinyi Guard, no one dared to jump out and stab them, don't care whether those unlucky people are really angry or lie to the court stick and sell loyalty, Wang Zhen has already expressed his position.

Uncle Zhong saw Yang Shangjing like this, and couldn't help but comfort: "The young master got Yu Tingyi's letter, which can be regarded as a statement from the foreign court, and those civil officials will never sit idly by and watch the young master be killed by traitors." ”

"I know that, too, but ...... The feeling of fate being in the hands of others is really unpleasant. Yang Shangjing smiled bitterly, turned around and walked towards the house.

Uncle Zhong glanced at him, thought for a while, then followed, and said in a low voice: "Young master, do you still remember the surprise that the master said in the family letter the day before yesterday?" ”

Yang Shangjing's footsteps were paused, and he turned his head and asked, "The surprise...... But is it coming? ”

"It's just these few days, as long as you eat this surprise, the young master's status in the foreign court will always be improved." Uncle Zhong nodded very pertinently, "The one hundred and fifty patrol division archers trained by the young master are about to come in handy. ”

Yang Shangjing raised his eyebrows, his mind was spinning, but he didn't ask too much, his sister-in-law is in the officialdom, and he is young, he is destined not to come into contact with all the family affairs, this kind of thing, on the contrary, it is an old servant like Uncle Zhong who needs to know more exactly, but Uncle Zhong doesn't say it, he can't ask directly, and the Yang family at this stage will still not harm his sister-in-law.
