Chapter Thirty-Six: East Palace Chess (I)
At the other end of the palace, Gonggong Zhang took the order, and the atmosphere was tense, but there was a different scene in the East Palace at the other end of the palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The prince and an old man sat facing each other, one of them holding black and the other holding white, and the table in the middle was black and white, vertical and horizontal, and they were playing a game.
The crown prince held a little on the left side of the chessboard unhurriedly, slashed half of the opponent's dragon, and smiled lightly, "The teacher doesn't seem to be very focused today." ”
The old man on the opposite side had slightly pale hair, it was the crown prince and the prince, the prince's teacher, Yang Wanchen.
Veteran Yang put his hand on the chess piece, and the repetition admits defeat, and says with a smile, "The prince's chess strength is getting deeper, and the old man can't compare to it." ”
The teacher laughed, and the teacher was obviously worried about Jiang Shangshu's affairs. said that this list will be sent to the East Palace, and our East Palace will hand it over to Your Majesty, why hasn't anyone come yet? Yes and no? ”
Seeing that his proud student guessed his worries, Yang Lao no longer concealed his thoughts, "Since you know, why don't you answer one or two questions for the teacher?" ”
"Although we have agreed for a long time that day, it can be said that it is about to be decided, and this list will be handed over to Your Majesty by our East Palace." The prince was very happy to have the opportunity to solve the teacher's doubts, "but in fact, I never expected him to give me this list." ”
"There are so many people involved in the case this time, if he doesn't have the guts, he will definitely not dare to hand over the list. If you have so much courage, how can you be afraid of the big family and want to go around the East Palace? ”
"After Wang Lao retired, His Majesty strongly advocated Jiang Yin to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and directly skipped Lu Lao and the old man, the purpose of rectifying the science field is so obvious, how can there be so many powerful people who don't have long eyes, so they handed the note to Jiang Yin?" , Yang Lao stroked his beard, a little puzzled.
"They are a little afraid to do so, but they feel that Jiang Yin is even more daring." , The prince narrowed his eyes, "There are so many people involved, he Jiang Yin has no backers in the capital, and his son is about to enter the office, how dare he sell them completely?" ”
According to their thoughts, even if Jiang Shangshu wants to make an errand to His Majesty, he will only sell a small part of them, sprinkle water, make a look, and make a gesture. Don't dare to come to the real thing, and give the whole list out. ”
"Yes." , Yang Lao nodded slightly, "Besides, if the entire list is handed over, he, Jiang Yin, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the president of Chunyu, will not be able to escape his involvement." Even if he is doing things for His Majesty, if this matter is troublesome, in order to serve the public, he has to retire from the post of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. ”
"So the students are here to congratulate the teacher in advance." , The prince smiled slightly, and hugged his fist at Yang Laoxiao.
"Congratulations? Congratulations to me on what? Yang Lao was stunned, where is this? Are you saying that Jiang Yin will really hand over the entire list to His Majesty? ”
"Lord Jiang also has his own concerns, he has no backers in the capital, and the only way out is to follow His Majesty. His Majesty wants him to take care of Chunyi's affairs, how can he do it if he doesn't show some sincerity? If you miss this backer, you may not have the next one. ”
The prince's left hand tapped lightly on the table, "In my opinion, he has at least taken out more than ninety percent of the list." ”
"More than ninety percent? Then Your Majesty must not be angry. It is already a well-known secret among high-ranking officials, and if His Majesty suddenly comes into contact with the truth, he will have to be furious.
"Your Majesty is furious, and Jiang Shangshu is no longer in the position of the Ministry of Rites. Lu Lao in front of the teacher is the person who the third child tried to recommend last year, and now the third child is so comfortable in the field, where is Lu Lao's turn to sit in this seat? Not quite what your old man has in his pocket? ”
The prince smiled and quipped, this is the ultimate goal of his entry into the game.
Among the six departments, the criminal department is the third person, and the military department is the relationship between the seventh. The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Household are firmly following His Majesty, and the old fox of the Ministry of Industry refuses to express his position, his two younger brothers have a relationship with one of the six departments, and he is the only one who has nothing, how can this be done?
I always have to do something, and I have to fight for it.
What he thought before was not to let Jiang Shangshu know the news of Lin Fu's entry into Beijing. The ranking of this subject field has been set by eighty percent, and without the help of Jiang Shangshu, Kobayashi Gongzi has so few remaining positions, and Kobayashi Gongzi may be on the list.
Lin Fu is off the list, His Majesty will definitely ask, as soon as he looks at the file, it is easy to expose the entire fraud case, Jiang Shangshu should be dismissed, the third brother is quite involved in the case, so he has his own teacher on top.
But he didn't expect His Majesty to pay more attention to Lin Fu than he thought. But it doesn't matter, the crown prince knocked on the side next to Shangshu's Mansion that day, making the illusion that His Majesty actually knows a lot, and forcing Jiang Shangshu to hand over a relatively complete list.
As for the so-called transfer of the East Palace, it is just a smokescreen for him to divert his attention, and what he wants is to make people think that he wants this list for another purpose.
But in fact, there is only one core purpose, that is, to get Jiang Shangshu to step down, to win the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites for his teacher, and also to fight for one of the six departments for himself.
"How dare he, Jiang Yin....", Yang Lao secretly said in his heart, "The matter is big, and there are so many implications, if he hands over the list, it will be difficult for His Majesty to completely protect him after all, and all kinds of small means in private will surely be endless." ”
"He shouldn't have dare, but when Lin Fu came, he dared." , the prince's eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was calculating.
"How can the kid of the Lin family be more effective than Your Majesty?"
"That's not it, it's just that as soon as Lin Fu came, the forces of the Lin family and Ye Wangfu, who had always been neutral, entered the game. If the Chunfu case occurs this time, according to the little prince, Lin Fu is very likely to be among the best. ”
"And this Lin Fu is a disciple of Jiang Shangshu, so that the two sides will share the firepower of the family, and his life will not be unbearable."
"His disciple is not ordinary, and the poem a few days ago directly put himself opposite the clans, so he is not afraid of another layer of grievances."
"Exactly." , The prince rubbed his forehead, "Your Majesty wants to suppress the family, the family wants to take revenge on Prince Kobayashi, and Prince Kobayashi is willing to contribute to His Majesty to suppress the family, and he just has become a buffer point between His Majesty and the family." ”
"It's not a good buffer." , Yang Lao waved his hand again and again, "Although it is easy to say, but the two sides really move their hands, it is really sad." ”
"That's what I say, but I have to find a chance to have a good relationship with this Kobayashi boy first." , as the crown prince, he still needs to think hard to have a good relationship with others, this prince is really a bit of a nest.
"The family sees him as a thorn in their side, is it a little inappropriate to approach him too early?" , Yang Lao groaned, after all, the East Palace has little to do with each other.
"Too early? If you don't hurry, it's too late. The prince shook his head and said with a smile, his teacher still knew very little about the team back then, and he didn't know that the Lin family and his wife still had the status of that Mu adult.
"Don't say anything else, if you wait until Master Fu comes back, and then want to have a heart-to-heart with this Xiaolin Gongzi, it will be difficult."
