Chapter 165: Candidates

Cheng Yi's matter has passed for many days, and it is said that the Cheng family is broken, and Cao Runmin should be happy, but for some reason, he can't be happy at all. Fan Zeng has the means to be true, but to kill Cheng Yi, he doesn't have the courage to do so. Who is that Xie Chongde? After coming here for more than three months, Cao Runmin had never heard of a magistrate surnamed Xie in the same state. Look at Xie Chongde's resolute face and decisive actions, it will never be too simple.

Can a person like Fan Zeng recruit a heroic figure like Xie Chongde?

Cao Runmin had a lot of doubts in his heart, he believed that something must have happened in Tongzhou City, and these things were all related to Fan Zeng.

On the fourth day of the lunar month, a piece of paper from the Tongzhou Mansion was delivered to Jingzhao Mansion, and at the same time, the messenger also brought 1,000 taels of gold.

Such a big thing as the birth of the same state, from the general sentence to the prison envoy who died four state officials at once, this kind of thing cannot be concealed in any way. After getting the news, Yin Moqinghe, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, was taken aback, in fact, it is not difficult to guess that Fan Zeng must be taking the opportunity to get rid of Cheng Yi's constraint, as for what kind of rebellion, it is just a coincidence. also blames Cheng Yi, who wants to lead people to attack the state government, isn't this a serious crime of rebellion? Mo Qinghe was surprised by Fan Zeng's ruthlessness, but he didn't think about it deeply, because he had seen a lot of things like this kind of officialdom and listing crimes. When the secretary of the Tongzhou capital put it in front of him with a thousand taels of gold, it also confirmed Mo Qinghe's guess.

Touching the gold bars in the mahogany box, Mo Qinghe's eyes were full of greed, this Fan Zeng would do things, but a thousand taels of gold was still a little less. Mo Qinghe was not in a hurry to open the document, in fact, he could guess without looking at it, it was nothing more than Fan Zeng getting rid of himself and then supporting his cronies.

One thousand taels of gold, it is okay to help Fan Zeng correct his name. But there are so many vacant places for officials in the same state, and Fan Zeng wants to buy them with this money, isn't it a little whimsical?

This thousand taels of gold. It's not just him Mo Qinghe's, after that, the officials of Jingzhao Mansion will have to share a little. In the end, it would be good to have five hundred taels in the hands of Mo Qinghe.

Accepting the mahogany box, Mo Qinghe pushed the letter to the sender untouched, "Go back to tell Fan Zhizhou, just say that the affairs of the same state are well known to the government, but the candidates to fill the vacancy in the state government have to think about it!" ”

"Yes, if the Mo Zhifu has no other instructions, the villain will return first!"

"Hmm. Let's go back! ”

The messenger took the document back into his bosom, left the prefect's yamen, came outside, led the horse and ran towards the city gate.

In the same state, in the original Song family's mansion, Zhao Yougong was lying on a bench basking in the sun. Now that it has entered the wax month, the land of Guanzhong is dry and cold, and there is often a cold wind, this kind of bad weather is for Zhao Yougong from Bianliang City. There's always something uncomfortable. A few days ago, Pan Jinlian and the Duchun sisters were all infected with a cold, but fortunately, there was nothing serious.

"Your Highness. Xie Zhen is back! ”

"So fast? Let him in! "Two days ago, Xie Zhen was sent to Jingzhao Mansion to deliver a letter, but I didn't expect to come back so soon. Xie Zhen came back so quickly, Zhao Yougong also had a bad feeling, it seems that things are not going well.

Soon Xie Zhen followed Yang Zaixing to the West Courtyard, and stood aside, Xie Zhen said with some anger, "Your Highness, that Mo Qinghe is very greedy!" ”

"What? One thousand taels of gold, he's too little? ”

"Yes. His subordinates listened to him, and if they wanted people to fill the vacancies of general judgment and commander. You'll have to pay a little bit more! ”

"Hehe, this Mo Zhifu has a lot of appetite. Since he is not afraid of dying, let him be. Chongde, you go to the princess in a moment and get another two thousand gold! ”

Xie Zhen was very puzzled, he thought that His Highness would be angry, but he didn't expect that not only was he not angry, but he also opened his mouth to take another two thousand gold. Surprised in his heart, Xie Zhen asked a little unwillingly, "What does Your Highness mean by this?" That Jingzhao Mansion is a pit that is not satisfied, two thousand gold, isn't it cheap for those fools? ”

"Chongde doesn't have to be angry, in fact, this king is not afraid of Mo Qinghe's greed, but afraid that he is not greedy. Give Mo Qinghe 2,000 gold, then Mo Qinghe will treat the officialdom of Tongzhou as a cornucopia, and if there is any news that is unfavorable to Tongzhou, Mo Qinghe will definitely maintain it in order to keep this cornucopia. Isn't it great to buy a blessing for two thousand gold? Besides, when this gold arrives in Mo Qinghe's hands, it is only temporarily stored in Jingzhao Mansion, and when the time is ripe in the future, I will settle in Jingzhao Mansion and let this Mo Qinghe spit out a hundred times! ”

Xie Zhen thought carefully about Zhao Yougong's words, and after a while, a complicated smile appeared on his face, and it seemed that his vision was still a little short.

"It's a subordinate who doesn't think about it!"

"Hehe, it's okay, you're just a little anxious. Oh, by the way, as soon as Cheng Yi and Bai Jiajun die, the position of general judge and commander will be vacant, who is the candidate for Chongde? ”

Originally, such an important position as the general judge and commander should be decided by Zhao Yougong himself, but there is really no one available under him now. Yang Zaixing is young and has not been widely communicated, so he can only ask Xie Zhen.

Zhao Yougong's question really stumped Xie Zhen, such a candidate is not easy to find, first of all, the ability must be passable, and secondly, loyalty. Especially in this position, once there is an accident, it is easy to have a big problem. After pondering for a while, Xie Zhen said with some hesitation, "There is a suitable candidate for the position of commander, and there is one in the Cloud Society." It's just that this position of general judgment, subordinates really can't think of it, this person must not only be capable, loyal and reliable, but also an official. ”

The general judgment is no different from other positions, and this position is generally recommended by various officials, and then selected and appointed by the imperial court himself. Because of the particularity of the general judgment, it is also destined that the person who goes to the post must be in the officialdom. But in the case of King Zhao Xiaojun, can you find such a person?

Just when Zhao Yougong and Xie Zhen were at a loss, Yang Zaixing, who had been silent, suddenly remembered something, he lowered his body slightly, and whispered, "Your Highness, do you know Zhang Yi?" ”

Hearing Yang Zaixing's reminder, Zhao Yougong suddenly reacted, how could he forget this person?

Zhang Yi, the word Shiping, as the grandson of Zhang Dian, Zhang Yi has been exposed to it since he was a child, and he has learned a whole body of talent, Zhezong for eight years, and the seventeen-year-old Zhang Yi won the championship in one fell swoop in the first scientific examination, and was later mentioned as the editor of the Hanlin Academy. I heard that Zhang Yi entered the Hanlin Academy that year, but it really made Zhang Yi lose his temper. It is said that although Zhang Yi is the grandson of Zhangfu, he has been learning literature and martial arts with his uncle Zhang Heng since he was a child. Zhang Heng was originally literary and martial, brave and resolute, under his pure teaching, Zhang Yi learned Zhang Heng's skills to the fullest, and he had a posture of being better than the blue. It is precisely because of Zhang Yi's civil and military skills that Zhang Dian planned to send him to the forbidden army, who would have thought that his grandson had entered the Hanlin Academy, could he not be angry now?

With Zhang Xuan's protection and Zhang Heng's support in the army, Zhang Yi originally had a great future, but unfortunately once Zhezong went, the court and the central government also underwent earth-shaking changes. Zhang Heng died of illness, Zhang Dian was demoted, and the entire Zhang family was implicated, and Zhang Yi, who was the grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion, naturally could not be spared, and was transferred from Hanlin Academy to Guanzhong with a paper order. A small Fuping Zhi County has been in charge for more than ten years. Think about it carefully, Zhang Yi is almost forty years old now, right?

It's been so many years, I think Zhao Ji has forgotten Zhang Yi a long time ago, even if he remembers, he probably won't pay attention. Now that the Pucheng Zhang family has long since declined, what threat does Zhang Yi, who is nearly forty years old, have?

Zhang Yi is a good candidate, and with this person's strategy, it is definitely not difficult to take charge of the overall situation of Tongzhou City, the question is can Zhang Yi be convinced? Although there is a relationship between the emperor's uncle Zhao Xu and Zhang Dan, after so many years, who knows what Zhang Yi thinks? In case Zhang Yi has long been accustomed to a dull life, then wouldn't it be equivalent to asking for trouble for himself when he went to find Zhang Yi?

Zhao Yougong frowned, hesitating in his heart, and Xie Zhen and Yang Zaixing didn't dare to disturb. In this way, after about a quarter of an hour, Zhao Yougong made a choice in his heart.

Like Zhang Yi, a talent like him, it is worth his risk, if he can really convince Zhang Yi, he can avoid many worries from now on. Zhao Yougong knows where his ambition is, he is definitely not the kind of person who sits firmly in the mansion, when he is outside, there must be an outstanding person in the rear to coordinate the overall situation.

"Shao Lie, you will go to Fuping County today and inquire about the situation of Zhang Yi first!"

"Whoa!"

Yang Zaixing took the order and left, Zhao Yougong also got up with a depressed expression, Zhang Yi was looking for it, but the most important thing for him now was to solve the trouble in front of him first.

It's night, the same state government.

Fan Zeng was drinking tea expressionlessly, and there was a grim-faced Cao Runmin sitting next to him.

"Fan Zhizhou, are you still unwilling to confide the truth to Cao? So what's going on with Xie Chongde? ”

"Prison Envoy Cao, what do you mean by that? As the governor of the same state, Fan is responsible for the affairs of the state capital, does he need to say hello to Cao Prison Envoy when he appoints a small governor? Fan Zeng was not only unhappy, but also a little annoyed by Cao Runmin's uprightness. Isn't it good to be confused sometimes? I have to be so serious, but I don't know that the more you know, the more you know, it's not a good thing.

"Hehe, who Fan Zhizhou appoints as the magistrate, Cao naturally has no right to ask, but why is it a stranger?"

Cao Runmin forced step by step, there was a posture of breaking the sand pot and asking to the end, Fan Zeng smiled bitterly. This Cao Runmin is good at everything, but his temperament is too straightforward, and once some secrets are known, they will die.

"Does the prison envoy Cao want to know the details so much?"

A light and hearty laugh sounded, but it was not Fan Zeng's voice.

Cao Runmin was taken aback, frowned and got up to look at the door, and when he saw someone, Cao Runmin's face was full of shock.

The brocade robe and jade belt of the person who came, handsome and extraordinary, this face could not be more familiar.

Zhao Yougong, King of Jinling, how could it be him? (To be continued)
