Who is the official with the best reputation in Jinyiwei?

For this issue, most of the officials in the capital will not hesitate to give their own choice - Shi Tao. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Not only are the subordinates in Jinyiwei very respectful of this Zhenfu Lord, but also ordinary Beijing officials, even if they have always held a lot of hostility and prejudice towards Jinyiwei, an old spy agency, they can't help but praise Shi Tao when they mention it: "This is really a good person, an honest man." ”

In the past, whenever he learned that others were judging him like this, Shi Tao would always feel very happy. Because he was born with a character who does not like to be enemies of others, he is peaceful and diluted, and only thinks that his wife can treat this official peacefully, until he is old and frail and honors again.

In fact, with his character, he is very unsuitable for holding a position such as Jinyiwei's pacification, after all, this position is not small in Jinyiwei, and he often offends people because of need. However, his official position is obtained from his own Lao Tzu, as a son of a family, even if he knows that it is not easy to sit in this position, he can only bite the bullet.

But it is also luck, precisely because he will not have the heart of competition, but the relationship between him and Liu Shouyou's boss has become very good, and the latter does not have to worry that this subordinate will be unfaithful to him, or have any other ideas, so Shi Tao, the Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi, has been doing it for three years.

It is precisely because he feels that Shi Tao is more obedient and easy to control, so whenever he has some small requirements, Liu Shouyou will not refute his face, which makes Shi Tao's position in Jinyiwei also seem very stable.

It's just recently, with Yang Zhen's protrusion of different peaks and the friction that occurs from time to time with Dongchang, Shi Tao feels a little headache. Because Liu Shouyou had explicitly hinted to him several times that he would join forces with him to deal with Yang Zhen, but Shi Tao really didn't want to get involved in such a dispute, and at the same time he didn't dare to offend his boss, so his life was not so comfortable.

Especially in the past few days, when he learned that the emperor intended to let Yang Zhen be this calmer, his heart was even more uncomfortable. Obviously, because of his low profile, even the Son of Heaven ignored the existence of such a person as Shi Tao in Jinyiwei, which made him rarely regret his previous way of doing things. But now it was obviously too late to regret it, because there was no turning back.

When Yang Zhen suddenly visited Shi Tao a few days later, Shi Zhenfu was in such a complicated and contradictory mood. And when he heard the report from the servant that Yang Zhen came to the door to ask to see him, he became a little nervous in his heart: "What is the purpose of his visit?" Could it be that he is here to pacify this position? ”

Although he was apprehensive, everyone came to the door, and of course Shi Tao, a good person, could not make the decision to close the door, so he ordered his subordinates to bring Yang Zhen into his study to talk.

Don't look at Shi Tao in Jinyiwei, he is a martial artist, but his own cultural taste is still quite good. There are not only a lot of classics in the study, but also several famous paintings of the ancients, coupled with the faint sandalwood fragrance rising from the incense burner next to it, which makes the whole study look extraordinary.

After Yang Zhen felt the charm, he couldn't help but praise: "Lord Shi really has a good taste, and it is not comparable to rough people like me." ”

"Yang Qianhu is too polite, this official is just a vassal and elegant, and he is nothing compared to a real literati." Shi Tao said modestly.

"Your Excellency is too modest. I have also seen many officials' homes and study rooms, and they are not as elegant as adults, and this kind of taste is by no means something that ordinary people can learn. Yang Zhen said again.

Seeing that he was so attentive, although Shi Tao had a smile on his face, saying humble-minded words such as false praise, he was even more vigilant in his heart, the so-called being courteous and courteous was either a traitor or a thief, this Yang Zhen must have said these words if he wanted to do something embarrassing for himself.

After flattering each other a few times, Shi Tao asked tentatively: "I don't know why Yang Qianhu suddenly visited the official office today?" ”

Yang Zhen had already seen that the other party was a little uneasy, so he smiled and said, "I came to see Shi Zhenfu for two things today. The first thing is to come and see a salute. Since the subordinate served as the Department of Suppression, he has also been taken care of by you, but he has never really thanked him, and he is really ashamed, so he came here today. ”

"Yang Qianhu is too polite, you and I are on an errand in the Zhenfu Division, it is natural to take care of each other, everyone is doing things for the imperial court, how can you be ashamed." Shi Tao smiled calmly, but at the same time, he became more vigilant in his heart, the lower the other party's attitude, the more excessive the next request may be.

Of course, Yang Zhen saw the other party's vigilance, but he didn't pay much attention to it, only to see him continue: "This second is that the lower official heard about a matter, and he wants to ask your lord if it is true. ”

"Oh, but what's the matter?"

"A few days ago, Xia Guan heard that it was mentioned that the imperial court had rewarded the meritorious people who had put down the chaos in Shanxi, among which Lord Zhong was promoted to the left deputy capital of the imperial history, and several colleagues in the brocade guard also had their own awards. In this regard, I am deeply happy for these colleagues, but in the end, something went wrong with me. It is said that His Majesty intends to promote Xia Guan to Jinyi Wei Zhenfu, I wonder if Lord Shi has ever heard of it? At the end of the words, Yang Zhen's eyes locked on Shi Tao.

"Sure enough!" Shi Tao's heart was secretly tight, and his eyes didn't dare to communicate with Yang Zhen, looking at both sides, but said in his mouth: "The official has heard of this matter, but he doesn't know whether it's true or not." ”

Of course, Yang Zhen couldn't let him be so vague, so he said: "At the beginning, Xia Guan also thought that this was just a rumor, but he didn't take it very seriously. But in the past two days, I have met with several former colleagues, and they have all been rewarded, and some people have mentioned this to me, so I have some letters. However, Xia Guan is also a little puzzled, my Jinyiwei should generally be one south and one north, and now the adult is the north town of Fu Si, and the south town is borne by Lord Luo Yaoluo, so how can the imperial court have such a decision? ”

"How do I know Your Majesty would have such thoughts? I'm still wondering! Shi Tao thought dissatisfiedly, but said in his mouth: "Maybe it's just a rumor." Of course, if the imperial court really intends to let Yang Qianhu and you be the pacificator, this official will not have any opinions, and I also think that you are more suitable for this position than me. ”

"Really?" When Yang Zhen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he stared at Shi Tao: "My lord really thought about giving way to Xiaguan?" ”

Shi Tao didn't expect his polite words to make Yang Zhen take it seriously, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and his face was slightly flat: "But this matter is not a private matter, and it is not up to me, the Zhenfu Division, to have the final say, so even if it is true, it may not really be possible in the end." ”

"Yes, Xia Guan also feels that this is the result. But there is a sentence in the lower official that I don't know whether to ask or not......"

"You'd better not ask!" Although Shi Tao wanted to reply to him like this, in the end he could only say against his will: "Yang Qianhu, please speak." ”

"As far as the news that the lower officials got, His Majesty wants me to be the governor in this matter, but Gonggong Feng vetoed it on the grounds that the adults were not at fault, so he let people replace the rather inappropriate reasons, but I don't know what the adults think about this?"

"What can I think? I've been in a dilemma lately because of this. I don't dare to disobey Your Majesty, but I don't dare to offend Feng Bao, what do you think I should do? Thinking of this, Shi Tao closed his mouth and refused to answer.

Yang Zhen didn't let him go, and seeing that he didn't speak, he continued: "If this matter is put on the lower officials, the lower officials will definitely choose to obey His Majesty's wishes and give up their positions." Although what Gonggong Feng said is reasonable, but His Majesty is the monarch's father, how can he go against the holy will? I wonder what adults think? ”

"Yang Qianhu is really a loyal courtier, and the official really admires it. But that's not true after all, so you and I don't have to worry about it. Shi Tao refused Yang Zhen's proposal under the pretext that this matter was not true.

Of course, Yang Zhen understood the meaning of the other party's words, and he also knew why he made this decision. In addition to being Feng Bao's instructions, but also because he himself didn't want to hand over the position he was in, although Jin Yiwei's reputation was not too good, and his power was not too great, but this could always bring him a lot of benefits.

After expressing his intentions, Shi Tao glanced at Yang Zhen with some uneasiness, for fear that he would turn his face when he was annoyed and angry. But to his surprise, Yang Zhen's face did not have the slightest hint of displeasure, he was still smiling, and nodded in agreement: "What the adults said is very true, why should we bother to think about such a mediocre thing to disturb themselves?" As he spoke, he stood up and arched his hand towards Shi Tao: "Then the official will leave." ”

"This is leaving? Is he just here to test my mind? Is there no other plan and preparation? Seeing Yang Zhen do this, Shi Tao was a little uneasy. After all, he had also seen Yang Zhen's methods, and had heard of his previous deeds, and he always felt that this was not a person who was easy to give up and easy to talk to.

However, although he was puzzled, seeing that Yang Zhen was no longer entangled in this, Shi Tao was still relieved, with his character, it was rare to be able to talk about it. If it weren't for the pressure from Feng Bao's side, he had to have a clear attitude, I was afraid that he would still have some leeway.

When Shi Tao got up according to etiquette and sent Yang Zhen out of the study, and finally gave his hand, Yang Zhen suddenly stopped again, and looked at Shi Tao as if unintentionally: "By the way, I almost forgot about one more thing." ”

"Huh? What else does Yang Qianhu have to say? Somehow, when Shi Tao saw him turn around, his heart tightened suddenly.

"The day before yesterday, there was a case of fighting and killing people in Wannian County, and the murderer not only killed people, but also injured several officials, but was taken down by the subordinate who happened to pass by. After that person was caught by my brother, he kept saying that he was the son of Shi Zhenfu and your family, but I don't know what the matter is? Yang Zhen said, the smile on his face had become a little cold.
