Chapter 458: There is a peep on the side
Wang Hao's official office is located in the Governor's Hall of Zhongshu Province, although he is only the deputy prime minister of the governor's affairs, but he has been reused by Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, so that his power has surpassed that of the left and right ministers Bai Shizhong and Yu Shen, becoming the real power minister, and has been faintly able to compete with Cai Jing in his heyday.
Wang Hao was reused by Zhao Ji not because of how much ability he had, but because he was not Cai Jing's person, he was pulled up by Liang Shicheng.
Among the current four prime ministers, Zhang Bangchang and Yu Shen are Cai Jing's henchmen, Bai Shizhong is weak and incompetent, and he does not dare to confront Cai Jing at all, and although Cai Jing has retired, he still firmly controls the government, and major government affairs are decided by him, and he is called the foreign minister by the hundred officials.
Of course, Zhao Ji also understands this situation, he never wants to see Cai Jing's party dominance again, so he needs to introduce a Xiangguo that can compete with Cai Jing, Wang Huang was born at the right time, and in just half a year, he gained huge power and became the new minister of power in one fell swoop.
Wang Hao sat behind the wide table, half-squinting and listening to the report of Zhang Xun, the chief bookkeeper of the Imperial History Observatory, although Zhang Xun was only a minor official from the seventh grade, he was also the chief secretary of the Taiwan Academy and the Supervision Court, and his position was extremely critical.
He was pulled by Wang Hao's hand and became Wang Huang's eyes in the Imperial History Tower, staring at every imperial history for Wang Huang, once the imperial historians had abnormal behavior, he immediately rushed to report to Wang Huang.
"Li Yanqing went to the Dali Temple Heavenly Prison this morning, and I heard from his director that he went to visit Pan Yue today, but he was not interrogated, but before leaving, he signed and stamped the cell replacement form, and Pan Yue was transferred to the new prison of Dali Temple at noon."
Wang Hao pondered for a moment and asked, "Does he know the ins and outs of this case?" ”
"He already knows."
"Then does he know that his predecessor Liu Lin has always refused to sign the replacement form?"
"The time of issuance of that watch was half a year ago, and he felt that he should know it at a glance, and he thought that he was there today to sign for a prison change."
Wang Hao didn't get angry immediately, he also had a cautious side, he knew that Li Yanqing's appointment as the servant of the imperial history was arranged by Liang Shicheng, although Wang Hao had betrayed Liang Shicheng, but Liang Shicheng did not turn his face with him, in this case, he couldn't take the initiative to provoke Liang Shicheng and add a strong enemy to himself.
Therefore, Wang Hao's attitude towards Liang Shicheng's insertion of Li Yanqing into the Yushitai was very cautious, neither opposing it as a Xiangguo, nor deliberately making things difficult, but he also did not ignore it, but planted eyes and ears around Li Yanqing, closely watched Li Yanqing's every move, as long as Li Yanqing did not violate his interests, he would generally not interfere easily.
Wang Hao took a few steps with his hands in his hands, then stopped and asked Zhang Xun, "Did the Pan family look for him?" ”
"I don't have it in Yushitai, but I haven't looked for it in private, I don't know about it, and I don't dare to pay too much attention to his private affairs."
Wang Hao also knew that this kind of thing was really difficult to verify, even if Pan Xu didn't come to the door in person, he would ask others to intercede, but
Wang Hao's face sank and said: "I asked you to keep an eye on his every move, but I didn't say that it was only in the Yushi Terrace, did he go to visit other officials at night?" Did you accept the intercession of the Pan family after the next dynasty? These are your duties, but you don't know anything, if you can't do it, just say it early, I'll let someone else do it. ”
Zhang Xun was so frightened that he lowered his head deeply, Wang Hao looked at him for a moment, and then said seriously: "You also know that Li Yanqing's position was originally yours, think about why you didn't get it?" Just because I didn't catch Li Yanqing's handle, how can you let me object, if you do your best and catch Li Yanqing's handle, as long as the time comes, I can let him get out, and this position is yours. ”
Wang Hao was intimidated and enveloped, and Zhang Xun was obedient, and he was so moved that he kowtowed with tears, "I am willing to break my bones to repay the kindness of Xiangguo!" ”
Wang Hao nodded, and said softly: "I understand your loyalty, but the means are a little lacking, Li Yanqing's matter does not need to be too anxious, you must observe carefully, and you can't let him find out that he is being watched." ”
"Humble duty understood."
After a pause, Zhang Xun asked cautiously: "What about Daoist Lin's case?" ”
"Don't draw conclusions about this case for the time being, and continue to observe Li Yanqing's every move."
"Humble, remember!"
Zhang Xun retreated, Wang Hao was still thinking about Li Yanqing going to Dali Temple Prison, what he was really worried about was not the Pan family, what the Pan family was, powerless, a little money, Wang Hao was worried about Liang Shicheng, could this be Liang Shicheng's instructions?
Wang Hao pondered for a long time, whether it was Liang Shicheng's instruction or not, he felt the need to implicitly warn Li Yanqing.
Li Yanqing has moved to a new residence in Yunqiqiao five days ago, where the environment is quiet, the security is good, next door is one of the ten temples in Bianjing, Fayun Temple, although it is not as huge as the Cao family's 300-acre giant mansion, but there are about 50 rooms before and after, for Li Yanqing it still seems a little empty.
Therefore, Li Daqi asked the Yang family to buy more than a dozen servants, including housekeepers, maids, cooks, gardeners, grooms, etc., all the subordinates that a middle-class family should have.
In addition, from the perspective of safety, Li Yanqing still put Yang Guang and the three Zhang brothers by his side, as a servant of the imperial history, he also needs a few martial arts and loyal retinues, four guards live in the front yard, and give them a separate courtyard that was originally used as a guest room for the four of them to live in, and at the same time give them a monthly salary of fifty yuan, which is enough for them to work hard for Li Yanqing.
Li Yanqing did not take four people in and out of the Yushitai every day, the four of them were divided into two shifts, two people followed him to the Yushitai every day, and the other two stayed at home.
In the afternoon, Li Yanqing rode back home, and the housekeeper Uncle Tai greeted him with a smile, "Official, today Baoyanzhai transferred an invitation!" ”
Uncle Tai's surname is Yang, a native of Beijing, about fifty years old, short and fat, like a dwarf winter melon, since he was a teenager, he has been working in a big family's house, and he has been in charge of things from a small house for decades, he has a good temper, and he is also kind and honest, he was the housekeeper of the house on Freezer Street, Li Daqi got along with him for several years, and knew that he was reliable, so he introduced him to this side as a housekeeper.
"What invitation?"
Li Yanqing was thinking about Lin Lingsu's case all the way, and his mind had not yet turned back.
"It seems to be an invitation from the Gao family, and the officials will know it when they look at it."
Uncle Tai handed an invitation to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing saw that it was Gao Shen, and then he remembered that Gao Shen seemed to have invited him, but he remembered that Gao Shen seemed to say that he would be a guest in his house in two days, and ten days had passed, could it be that Zhou Chun had just come to the capital?
When I think of Gao Shen, I think of Pan Xu, I am handling the case of Pan Xu's nephew in the past two days, and it seems that it is not appropriate to meet, but Li Yanqing thinks of Zhou Chun, he is about to become the parent official of his hometown, and he should still give this face to meet.
Li Yanqing looked at the day on the invitation, it was noon tomorrow, this Gao Shen would really choose a day, tomorrow happened to be the tenth day off, and he wanted to take a good rest at home, but he couldn't rest now.
"Are the officials going?"
Uncle Tai asked, if you don't go, you need to go to someone's house to respond, so that others don't prepare in vain.
"Go! Of course you have to go, how can you not go to the general's treat? ”
"Official, do you need us to go with you tomorrow?" Yang Guang asked cheekily beside him.
"Tomorrow is the tenth day off, so let's have a holiday! I don't need you with me. ”
Yang Guang was overjoyed, they had already made an appointment to go for a drink tomorrow and relax for a good day.
Li Yanqing knew his thoughts, so he knocked on his head, "It's okay to spend money to buy enjoyment, but you are not allowed to cause trouble for me!" ”
"We've never been in trouble!"
"Nonsense! Who caused the last fight with a group of scoundrels, and it wasn't you who did it first? ”
Yang Guang scratched his head and muttered in a low voice, 'What is wrong with those scoundrels molesting people's girls, what is wrong with us taking a righteous action?' ’
Li Yanqing glared at him fiercely, turned back to Zhang Hu and said, "You are responsible for taking care of a few of them, don't drink a few bowls of yellow soup and start heroically saving the beauty again!" ”
Zhang Hu is the leader of several of them, he is married, the oldest, and the most stable, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured, the humble position must be optimistic about them." ”
Li Yanqing glared at Yang Guang again, "Did you hear it, what should you call me?" ”
Although Yang Guang had a hippie smile, he did things in a measured manner, he didn't dare to really anger Li Yanqing, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Remember the humble position!" ”
Only then did Li Yanqing turn over and dismount, and walked quickly towards the gate.
At this moment, an ox cart rushed over, Li Yanqing seemed to hear the voice of the magpie, he couldn't help but be stunned, so he stood on the steps and waited, the ox cart came quickly, stopped in front of Li Yanqing, only to see the magpie pull the curtain and said in a panic: "Little official, there is an accident over there in Hongqiao Baoyanzhai, you go and take a look!" ”
