Everyone else went back separately, and only Li Yanqing and Fan Zhixu were left in the official, Fan Zhixu glanced at Li Yanqing, "You are very silent today!" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "I'm not silent, but I have nothing to say." ”

Fan Zhixu groaned and said: "You and I both know why the official family wants to dissolve the military prison, nominally it is the plan proposed by Wang Hao and Zhang Bangchang, but in fact it is the official family's own will, and the official family is extremely dissatisfied with me and the military prison. ”

Li Yanqing smiled faintly: "Any victory will pay a price, since we have successfully stopped the Northern Expedition, then the disbandment of the military prison is one of the costs." ”

Fan Zhixu sighed lowly, "I'm just worried that the Northern Expedition will be restarted, and the official family is obviously very unwilling!" ”

"We just do our best, just ask for a clear conscience, if we really can't stop the Northern Expedition, then we are worthy of future generations."

Fan Zhixu nodded, "You're right, it's useless to worry about it now." ”

Fan Zhixu let go of this matter for the time being, and asked, "I heard early in the morning that you were assassinated last night?" ”

"It's an assassin sent by Liang Zhi, who has been cleaned up by me, and Liang Zhi was also sent to Dali Temple by me, but early this morning, Liang Zhi committed suicide by taking poison very strangely."

Fan Zhixu couldn't help sneering, "It's not strange at all, this time Li Yan and Wang Hao are desperately trying to exonerate Liang Fangping, and they don't know how many bribes they have received, how can they allow Liang Zhi to be tried, so Liang Zhi must die." ”

"What about Liang Fangping?" Li Yanqing asked again: "Does Xiangguo think he will die halfway?" ”

"Since Liang Zhidu died strangely, it is very likely that Liang Fangping committed suicide in fear of crime, just like you said, someone will never allow him to enter Beijing for trial."

．．．．．．

Liang Shicheng did not participate in yesterday's court meeting, as a Taifu, the envoy of the three sections of Huguo, Zhendong and Hedong, Liang Shicheng was fully qualified to participate in the court meeting, but he knew what would happen to the court meeting, so he said that he was sick and did not go to the court, and very tactfully avoided choosing a side in the Northern Expedition.

However, he still gave Fan Zhixu face, and supported the opposition to the Northern Expedition behind his back, and under his instructions, many officials of the Imperial Historical Observatory, including Yushi Zhongcheng, strongly opposed the Northern Expedition, which was his attitude.

Although he did not go to the court, Liang Shicheng was very aware of everything that happened in the court, and he also knew very well that the Son of Heaven was finally forced to temporarily stop the Northern Expedition plan, and Liang Shicheng was also considering his own attitude.

At noon, he was drinking tea in the study, and at this time, his adopted son Liang Qiu reported outside the door, "Father, Zhang Xiangguo asks to see!" ”

Zhang Xiangguo is Zhang Bangchang, but what is he here to do? Liang Shicheng changed his mind and understood a little, "Invite him to the study!" ”

After a while, Zhang Bangchang was led into the study, and when he came in, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "See Taifu for his humble duties!" ”

Zhang Bangchang is not Liang Shicheng's hand, nor is he betrayed Liang Shicheng to join Li Yan like Wang Hao, he and Liang Shicheng are still okay on face, Wang Hao can't pull his face to see Liang Shicheng, so he has to come forward by Zhang Bangchang.

Liang Shicheng did not ask Zhang Bangchang to sit down, but deliberately wanted to give Zhang Bangchang a dismissal, anyway, Zhang Bangchang was asking for himself, let him stand for a while, and naturally there was a little more awe of himself in his heart.

Liang Shicheng smiled and said: "Zhang Xianggong is really a rare guest!" It's been years since I've been here! ”

Zhang Bangchang saw that Liang Shicheng didn't invite him to sit down, and he didn't have his own seat, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, and he was helpless, so he had to stand with his hands down and said: "I heard that Taifu is feeling sick, and he came to visit. ”

"It's just a little bit of a cold, and it's not a big deal, but thank you Zhang Xianggong for your concern."

Zhang Bangchang stood there feeling really cramped, and Liang Shicheng saw that he couldn't speak, so he was slightly surprised: "Why didn't Zhang Xianggong sit down and talk?" ”

He instructed the maid, "Why don't you bring chairs for the guests?" ”

The maid hurriedly went out to bring a chair, and Liang Shicheng ordered tea again, Zhang Bangchang breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and said, "Thank you, Taifu!" ”

"I don't know if Zhang Xianggong is here today, what else is there?" Liang Shicheng gave Zhang Bangchang a step.

Zhang Bangchang groaned and said, "Taifu should already know about the court meeting yesterday, right?" ”

"I wasn't feeling well yesterday, so I didn't care, but I just heard about it a little."

"Regarding the Northern Expedition, there were too many courtiers who opposed the Northern Expedition, and in the end, the official family could only agree to suspend the Northern Expedition, which really disappointed us courtiers who were eager to restore their homeland."

Liang Shicheng took a sip of tea and said with a yin smile: "It's all for their own interests, how many people really care about their homeland?" Why should Zhang Xianggong deceive himself? ”

Zhang Bangchang's face was hot, and he said with a dry smile: "The main reason is that the official family is bent on the Northern Expedition, of course, those of us who are courtiers must be sympathetic to the holy will, Taifu said, right?" ”

"That being said, it's not easy to turn the situation around!" Liang Shicheng pretended to sigh.

"It's man-made, the key depends on the sincerity of Taifu and Cai Gongxiang."

"Of course we have sincerity, but what about Wang Xiangguo's sincerity? Where is his sincerity? ”

Zhang Bangchang took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Liang Shicheng, Liang Shicheng looked at it, and gave up Fan Zhixu's position to himself, the appointment of Kaifeng Mansion Yin was also given to him, and the Hebei transfer envoy was given to Cai Jing.

In fact, after Liang Shicheng opposed the Northern Expedition this time, he will resolutely support the intention of the Son of Heaven next time, so it is just a favor for him, since Wang Hao is so sincere, how can he refuse?

Liang Shicheng said happily: "As Zhang Xiangguo said just now, we should be sympathetic to the holy will and share the worries of the Son of Heaven, I can agree, in addition, I am responsible for Cai Xiangguo's side to say." ”

"I also hope that at the critical moment, Mrs. Liang can remind the Son of Heaven about Fan Zhixu."

Liang Shicheng smiled and said nothing, Zhang Bangchang suddenly understood, got up and said goodbye.

Zhang Bangchang left, Liang Shicheng paced back and forth in the room with his hands, he still needs to think about this matter again, Fan Zhixu himself was recommended by him as Xiangguo, although Fan Zhixu is not loyal to himself, but he is Wang Huang's opponent, it is not in his own interests to get Fan Zhixu down, but it must be in line with the will of the official family, he Liang Shicheng can no longer go wrong at this critical point, not to mention that Wang Huang also gave himself the right to recommend Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

Secondly, bringing down Fan Zhixu will inevitably implicate Li Yanqing, which is also a difficult point for Liang Shicheng, Liang Shicheng pondered for a long time, he thought of Li Yanqing's private contact with the prince, this time against the Northern Expedition, the prince did not ask for his help, it is likely that he got into a relationship with Fan Zhixu through Li Yanqing, even if it is to teach them a lesson! If you want to bypass yourself, you will definitely pay a heavy price.

Thinking of this, Liang Shicheng sat down and wrote a letter, called his adopted son Liang Qiu in, handed him the letter, and said: "You go to Cai's mansion tonight, hand over this letter to Prime Minister Cai, and send him a message, saying that Zhang Bangchang has made a special trip to visit me today." ”

．．．．．．．

On the morning of the next day, the military prison was officially disbanded, and Li Yanqing moved back to the imperial history platform with the rest of the imperial historians.

His official room in the Imperial Observatory was still empty, no different from when he left, and even the furnishings of the four treasures of the study room on the table were the same as when he left, as if he had only left here yesterday afternoon.

Liu Xin, the chief bookkeeper who accompanied him in, said with a smile: "It is Deng Zhongcheng's intention to keep the room, he said that even if he is in the military prison, Li Yushi is also a person who belongs to the Yushitai, and Li Yushi will come back sooner or later, so basically he didn't move, and I arranged for two people to come over and clean up the dust and clean up the dust, and in the afternoon Li Yushi can sit in his bright official room to deal with official business." ”

Li Yanqing nodded, "Thank you Lord Liu for your careful arrangement, I wonder if I am still in charge of the trial of the Yushitai?" ”

"I don't know much about this, I have to talk to Deng Zhongcheng in detail before I can decide."

"Now Deng Zhongcheng is here?"

"It's still there, but not necessarily in the afternoon."

Li Yanqing knew that Deng Yong's old problem was that he would sneak away to the painting academy in the afternoon, and Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, bumped into him several times in the academy, but instead of accusing him of leaving his post without permission, he discussed painting skills with him, which made Deng Yong even more unscrupulous.

He turned back to Mo Jun and Liu Fang and said, "You guys clean up first!" I'll go to Deng Zhongcheng's official room. ”

He turned around and walked towards Deng Yong's official room on the second floor, and after a while, he came to Deng Yong's official room, and he knocked on the door, "Deng Zhongcheng, it's a humble position!" ”

"Come in!"

Deng Yong enthusiastically invited Li Yanqing into the official room, and said with a smile: "Welcome Li Yushi home!" ”

"Thank you Zhongcheng for still keeping the official room for the humble position."

"It's nothing, it's just a gesture, but I want to talk to the imperial history about the specific distribution of duties."

Deng Yong paused for a moment and said apologetically to Li Yanqing: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid that the position of adjudicator can no longer be returned to Li Yushi, so I can only wronged Li Yushi to do something else." ”

"I don't have a problem with what I do."

Deng Yong smiled again: "In fact, your new position is very similar to the military supervision office, mainly responsible for supervising the material inventory of the various temple supervision bureaus of the imperial court, including the armory, Zuozang, Taicang, Shaofu treasury and the material warehouse of various bureaus, except for the inner warehouse, which is also a new function given to the imperial history by the imperial court. ”

Li Yanqing stood up and saluted, "I am willing to accept Deng Zhongcheng's arrangement!" ”

Deng Yong nodded, "You have a day off today, and you will officially take office tomorrow." ”

"Qi Yu Zhongcheng, if it is to supervise the material warehouse, the humble position still needs manpower."

Deng Yong smiled, "You can rest assured of this!" The Imperial Observatory is not a military prison, and there are enough manpower to transfer it to you, but don't rush, let's take our time. ”
