In the middle of the night, in the warm pavilion in the back garden of Yan Song's mansion. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yan Song put a few pieces of carbon into the stove. Chen Di poured a glass of wine for Yan Song.

Yan Song said to Chen Di: "The emperor promoted all your people and transferred them out of Zhejiang, you should know the reason, right?" ”

Chen Di nodded: "It's nothing more than because the tree is a big wind." ”

Yan Song said: "Not bad. Alas, I was too anxious, I thought that Zhai Luan would return to his hometown to retire, and there would be no opponents in the court, so I wantonly promoted our own family members to be officials of the six departments and feudal officials. It was my negligence. Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, the sacred heart is unfathomable! You've made the same mistake as me. ”

Chen Di put his hand on the stove: "Today, the emperor decreed that I will be transferred to the Hanlin Academy as the head of the academy." Although being the head of the Hanlin Academy is the dream of every scholar. Can this position 。。。。。 It doesn't seem to have any real power! ”

Yan Song drank a glass of wine and said to Chen Di: "You are the person valued by the emperor. It is only a matter of time before he is transferred from the Hanlin Academy, whether he is a foreign officer or a hall official of the Sixth Department. ”

Chen Di said: "Father-in-law, my son has reliable news. It won't be long before Zhejiang will rekindle the police! ”

Yan Song said: "Oh? It's true? When Zhejiang rekindles the Japanese police, it will be the day when the emperor reactivates you! ”

Chen Di said in his heart: Reactivated? Joke, wait until the Japanese invaders occupy the whole territory of Zhejiang and then reactivate me?

Yan Song sighed: "We are our own people, son, there are some things I don't have to hide from you." Xia Yan returned to the cabinet this time, and the emperor wanted him to check and balance me. The Yanguan of the Six Science Corridor has already let out the wind, and Xia Yan wants to control the military department, the official department, and the household department. The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Crime, and the Ministry of Rites are left to me! “

Chen Di said anxiously: "Father-in-law, the Ministry of War controls the soldiers and horses of the world. Shangshu and the left and right squires are in the top three positions, but they must be our own people to sit on! “

Yan Song said: "Say something that shouldn't be said, we don't want to rebel." What's the use of having a military department? The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, one is in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials in the world, and the other is in charge of the wealth of the world, these two ministries are what we need to strive for urgently! “

Chen Di retorted: "The words of the righteous father, the son does not dare to agree. Now the Tatar Altan Khan continues to invade the north of our Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese are raging in the southeast. If there is a military disaster, the emperor will rely on the military department! Father-in-law, you think, more than a year ago, my son was just a seven-grade sesame official. Because the Japanese invaded Zhejiang, his son repeatedly defeated the Japanese invaders, so he sat in a high position in the second grade! Our Ming official system, if it is an honest mixed qualification, the promotion of character is too slow! Only when there is a scourge of war can we support our people to rise to prominence! “

Yan Song wished that his henchmen could be promoted as quickly as Chen Di! Chen Di's words moved his heart.

Chen Di said again: "So father-in-law, you must control the military department!" “

Yan Song said: "Alas, then again. Even if his father wants to control the military department, Xia Yan will not easily agree! “

Chen Di thought for a moment and said, "Father-in-law, you might as well retreat as advance." “

Yan Song asked: "How to advance by retreating?" “

Chen Di replied: "It's better for my father-in-law to take the initiative to impeach the corpses of the officials of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Works, and do nothing." “

Yan Song exclaimed: "The officials of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry are all our own people!" Isn't this a slap in the face? “

Chen Di shook his head: "Isn't it true that if you don't break your son, the cousins of these three ministries will be able to keep their official positions?" Father-in-law, you took the initiative to impeach the officials of the three ministries of officials, households, and workers, which is to send a signal to Xia Yan. Clearly told him that I could give Xia Shoufu the three departments of officials, households, and workers, and the three departments of soldiers, punishment, and rites to continue to control your father-in-law. You must know that the emperor transferred Xia Yan to re-enter the cabinet to play the art of Tai Chi. The art of Tai Chi lies in the 'middle', and the 'middle' is impartial. The two of you each control three ministries, and I guess the emperor will definitely agree to it, son. ”

Yan Song pondered for a while and said, "In this case, I will listen to you." Immediately go to the table and impeach the officials of the three ministries, households, and workers. ”

Chen Di said again: "The cousins of these departments, father-in-law, you can find a way to transfer them to the sixth department in Nanjing." Although the Sixth Department of Nanjing has no real power, it can retain official qualities. When the time comes, they can be transferred back to the capital. “

Yan Song felt more and more that Chen Di, a fourteen-year-old boy, had no less officialdom experience than him, an old bureaucrat who had been an official for decades.

Chen Dubai said goodbye to Yan Song and returned to the Earl's Palace.

At this time, the night is quiet, and the moon and stars are scarce. Chen Di couldn't help but recite Su Shi's words: "There is no moon in the night, where there is no bamboo and cypress, but there are few idlers like the two of us." ”

As he passed through the back garden, he suddenly heard a rustling sound.

Yan Song built this earl's mansion for Chen Di, and also sent more than a dozen maids and more than a dozen family members, could it be that the maid family is indescribable?

Chen Di came to the depths of the rockery and saw a man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, holding a maid in front of the moon.

Chen Di shouted violently: "Who is rude here? ”

This sound actually made the pair of frightened mandarin ducks kneel.

Chen Di walked closer and saw that it was Liang Erhei and the maid Xiaohong.

In fact, human ethics are human nature. In the past year, Chen Di has been busy with those big things outside, and he even ignored that Liang Erhei is in his twenties and is still unmarried. This maid Xiaohong followed Chen Di in Henan and got along with Liang Erhei day and night, and she couldn't help but feel affection.

Chen Di said with a smile: "Liang Erhei, in this winter, you and my sister Xiaohong are making love in the rockery, so you are not afraid of freezing people?" You are a martial arts practitioner who is not afraid of freezing, but my little red sister is a beautiful girl made of water. ”

Liang Erhei's face turned red: "Master, all this is Erhei's fault!" Please don't punish Xiaohong. ”

Chen Di smiled: "It doesn't matter whose fault it is. I'll just ask you one thing, are you willing to marry Xiaohong? On this cold day, the two of you can sleep on a couch and keep each other warm! ”

Liang Er's black face blushed and said, "Of course I do." ”

Chen Di took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his arms and handed it to Liang Erhei. "Tomorrow, you use this money to pull a fine red satin horse and make a dress for Sister Xiaohong. I'll let the kitchen prepare a table of wine and food, and the matter between you and Sister Xiaohong will be settled like this! The rest of the money, even if I give you a gift! “

Liang Erhei is very grateful. Chen Di waved his hand: "You go down to Henan with me, go to Zhejiang, and work hard." Your marriage is my master's business! “

Chen Di returned to his room, where Xiaoqing was already waiting.

Chen Di told Xiaoqing what he had just done. Xiaoqing covered her mouth and smiled stupidly: "I have long seen Liang Erhei and Xiaohong。。。。。。 But that's okay, master, you call the shots, marry Xiaohong to that Liang Erhei, and save them from sneaking in the future. “

Chen Di hugged Xiaoqing: "My good sister, you and Xiaohong are sisters." I helped your sister, should you help me too。。。。。 “
