Just when Qian Yiai looked at the palatial Qi State Mansion and got angry, a middle-aged man came out of the gate, this middle-aged man was wearing a gray robe, with a short figure, and a roe deer rat with a face of horizontal meat, saying that he was a pig killer, and some people believed that he was a pig killer, and he was wearing a silk silk and satin like those Huguang nouveau riche on the streets of Beijing.

This middle-aged man is Tong Yangjia's nephew, Tong Tuchang, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. After Tong Tuchang was transferred to the Ministry of Rites, he went to Outer Mongolia, and only came back in June. Tong Yangjia heard that a young man came to visit him, and his surname was Qian, so he knew that Qian Yiai had come.

Qian Yiai belongs to the princelings, and he has never had anything to do with Tong's uncle and nephew, and Tong Yangjia can't guess what he is doing today. But after all, Qian Yiai's identity is special, Tong Yangjia thought for a long time and asked Tong Tuchang to come out to greet him in person.

When Tong Tuchang came to the gate, he saw Qian Yiai watching around, and hurriedly said: "Brother Zigao is really a rare guest here!" ”

Qian Yiai saw the ugly monster Tong Tuchang greet him in person, and hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Annoying Earl Lao to greet him, a capital crime, a capital crime!" ”

"Haha, Brother Zigao said he was laughing, please come in!"

Qian Yiai walked to the door and saw the dog-fighting family, and couldn't help laughing: "The door of the old Tong Ge's mansion is really difficult to enter, a family member is so big, if it wasn't for the good clothes under it, it is estimated that he would have entered the edict of Jinyiwei by now!" ”

Tong Tuchang heard Qian Yiai say this, and hurriedly scolded the family: "You damn slave, do you know who this is?" The son of the old Qian Pavilion, the lord of Shuntian Mansion, Lord Yin Qian! ”

Shuntian Mansion is one of the three capitals, or the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Fu Yin is from Sanpin, that family Ding Jiu ushered in in front of the Guogong Mansion, knowing that Cong Sanpin is already a provincial and ministerial-level high-ranking official, frightened and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The villain should die, I don't know if Lord Qian is coming, please spare the villain's life!" ”

Tong Tuchang saw that this was really the case, and scolded: "Blind bastard, go and get ten boards by yourself, you don't have to do it in the porter, go and empty the toilet!" ”

Qian Yiai came to beg Tong Yangjia today, so naturally he couldn't make too much trouble, so he smiled and didn't say anything, and followed Tong Tuchang into the mansion together.

Qian Yiai and Tong Tuchang came to the study, Tong Yangjia stood at the door to greet Qian Yiai, Qian Yiai hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Uncle is above, the little nephew is polite!" ”

Tong Yangjia nodded, took Qian Yiai's hand and asked, "Virtuous nephew, please hurry up, your father is in good health!" ”

Hearing Tong Yangjia ask about his father, Qian Yiai hurriedly replied: "Thank you uncle for your concern, Jia Yan has been working hard every day, recording everything he has learned in this life, and he will pass it on to future generations!" ”

Tong Yangjia heard Qian Yiai say that Qian Qianyi wrote books at home, and scolded in his heart: Old guy Qian still has Facebook to write books? This kind of retainer should have been written in the history books a long time ago!

Tong Yangjia thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it in his mouth, so he had to praise repeatedly: "Okay, old and strong!" Be old and strong! ”

The three of them walked into the study and sat down, and after the family served tea, Tong Yangjia asked, "Zi Gaoxian nephew, what is the matter with today?" ”

Qian Yiai can say more than the clumsy and clumsy Xia Wanchun, and said impassionedly: "Uncle, the little nephew saw His Majesty in the court today that His Majesty was bewitched by traitorous ministers, and he actually dismissed all the cabinet elders from office, and he was really sad in his heart, thinking that his uncle had followed His Majesty for decades, and was born and died many times, but he ended up like this, and the little nephew really felt sorry for his uncle, and he came today to offer a plan for his uncle, so that his uncle could return to the cabinet!" ”

Qian Yiai said it well, but Tong Yangjia and Tong Tuchang are both old fritters who have been rolling in officialdom for many years, and their blood is boiling that can be fooled by a few words.

Tong Yangjia didn't speak, just drank tea, and Tong Tuchang asked on the side: "Brother Zigaoxian, what is your strategy?" ”

"Uncle, Brother Tong, and little nephew think that they can mobilize the courtiers to write a letter, so that His Majesty the Emperor will know that he is lost, and at the same time, the seven elders of the cabinet must unite sincerely and work together to tide over this difficult period!"

I see, it seems that Ma Mingyuan's side can't hold on and wants to come for help. But if you want to ask for help, it's as simple as sending a subordinate to flicker? You Ma Mingyuan looks down on the old man too much!

Tong Yangjia summed up in his heart, and made a color to Tong Tuchang, Tong Tuchang understood, and then said: "Brother Zigaoxian, your thoughts for the country and the people are good, and you should also advocate it, but my uncle is old, and he has been following His Majesty to fight in all directions for many years, and he is already paralyzed, so I want to take this opportunity to retire and retire for a long time!" ”

Qian Yiai sneered in his heart when he heard Tong Tuchang say this: Body weakness? Half a month ago, what do you mean by raising a concubine in Jiaxinna? Retirement? So what are you doing with the power in your hands? Qian Yiai knew that Tong Tuchang was just a pretext when he said this, these old guys were all treacherous, and they would never tell the truth if they didn't see the benefits!

Qian Yiai pretended to be lost and said: "I didn't expect that my uncle had already retired, well, since this uncle is not appropriate, then the little nephew will ask Feng Ge Lao to see if he can shoulder the mission of reviving the dynasty!" ”

Tong Yangjia is ruthless and vicious, not good at money and not lustful, of course, there is no shortage of money to spend when the official position is in this position, and the woman is much less than Ma Mingyuan, who has accepted more than 20 concubines, and the only thing Tong Yangjia cares about is the position of the first assistant.

Tong Yangjia was probably the most bitter of Zhu Hongsan's early strategists, the whole family was executed at a young age, and he led a half-grown son to flee to half of China, and as soon as he arrived in Wuchang, he was hit by Zhu Hongsanxiang and became the strategist of the bastard clan.

Looking at the other three strategists, Ma Mingyuan has the best background and the best luck, Zhu Hongsan came to the door while sitting at home, and he has always been the identity of the big housekeeper after joining Zhu Hongsan Group.

Feng Ziyong is also similar, it was a county order at the beginning, and then he became a fellow acquaintance, when Zhu Hongsan led people to flee, Feng Ziyong was an official in Hengyang, the rear, and there was no danger to his life at all.

Although Ma Jiyuan was a little unlucky, the female relatives in the family were all killed by Zhu Hongsan, but Ma Jiyuan has a huge network behind him, and the second year of the Apocalypse Alumni Association is not a joke, and most of the literati who went to Guangdong to seek refuge in Zhu Hongsan went to Ma Jiyuan.

On the other hand, Tong Yangjia followed Zhu Hongsan to fight everywhere in the early stage, so he died in Xinyang City. When he arrived in Guangdong, he was far surpassed by Ma Ji and became the fourth person among the strategists. If these difficulties can still be endured, what Tong Yangjia is most angry about is that Ma Mingyuan always jokes that he is not from the right path of the imperial examination. The key is that Tong Yangjia can't refute it, because he is indeed inferior to others, but can he eat the imperial examination? What can I do if I get the first place in the exam? Qian Qianyi is very knowledgeable, didn't the Manchu Qing Dynasty come and surrender in Kaicheng?

It is precisely because he knows that he has a low background, so Tong Yangjia has to work hard to prove himself, although he is only a showman, but he is definitely not worse than you Jinshi! Tong Yangjia said so, but he knew in his heart that it was rare for him to be able to mix in the cabinet with a talented background, if he hadn't followed Zhu Hongsan early, probably Tong Yangjia would have been better off mixing with the prefect.

Tong Yangjia's personal ability is really good, and all the work assigned to him by Zhu Hongsan can be completed dutifully, but he can't stand the fact that his superiors always give him small shoes. Ma Mingyuan knocked Tong Yangjia when he had nothing to do, so Tong Yangjia secretly swore in his heart that he would be the first assistant in the future, and he would definitely use his own way to repay him, and use Ma Mingyuan's various methods to deal with himself on Ma Mingyuan.

So the goal of being the first assistant has become Tong Yangjia's obsession, but there is no way, Zhu Hongsan relied on the Ma family to start an incident, so after the founding of the People's Republic of China, he naturally had to give preferential treatment to the Ma family, and the first assistant has become the exclusive position of the Ma family brothers.

Now that Tong Yangjia heard that Qian Yiai could make himself the first assistant, how could he still control his mood, he quickly put down the teacup and asked, "Virtuous nephew go slowly, what did you say just now?" ”

Qian Yiai listened to Tong Yangjia's set, sat down again and continued: "Uncle, now that there is such a big thing in the cabinet, the first assistant Lord Ma was also impeached by Fang Shangshu for encroaching on the imperial tomb, and the little nephew estimates that Lord Ma will face a second strike. Now that the DPRK is like this, it is in need of an experienced and experienced pavilion elder to stand up as the mainstay, turn the tide and support the general of the building, the little nephew feels that this person is the second assistant Uncle Tong, I wonder if Uncle Tong is interested? ”

Nonsense, of course interested! What Qian Yiai said was similar to Tong Yangjia's analysis, just now Tong Yangjia and Tong Tuchang's uncle and nephew also analyzed the government and politics, and came to the conclusion that Ma Mingyuan would be choked enough, after all, today's incident is too big, and even their own people have stood up against Ma Mingyuan every year, if this is not good, it is really unreasonable. At the same time, Tong Yangjia, who is a senior politician, also knows that the trouble at today's court meeting is completely caused by the new policy, and the emperor must take Ma Mingyuan to the top of the cylinder in order to calm the anger of those scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

As for Tong Yangjia, the candidate for the first assistant, he has also considered it, it is nothing more than three people, one Ma Jiyuan and one Feng Ziyong, and the other is himself. However, it is estimated that Ma Jiyuan has a big face, because Ma Jiyuan implemented a moderate new policy, which was very popular with those literati in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so the emperor had great hope of reactivating Ma Jiyuan.

Tong Yangjia admitted that what Qian Yiai said was very tempting, but Tong Yangjia knew that this Qian Yiai was the prince's person, and he came to himself for no reason and said that he could make himself the first assistant, was this the strategy of the prince and Ma Mingyuan? You must know that being the first assistant has the greatest impact on the prince, it can be said that it is completely negative, Tong Yangjia knows that he is not as good as the treacherous and cunning Ma Mingyuan, in case the money in front of him loves this kid to set himself up, he jumps in regardless of it, and it is not fun to wait for things to be out of control!
