Chapter 296: A Few Months in the Snap of a Finger (Part I)
Although because Yang Zhen has Wanli behind him, Liu Shouyou does not dare to deal with him like Tang Feng, it does not mean that he has no other means. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ infoThere is at least one trick that no one can fault with it, and that is dragging.
As long as you are an old bureaucrat who has been immersed in officialdom for many years, you will know this trick of procrastination, and Liu Shouyou is a child of a family, and he has been a governor and other official positions in Jinyi Wei for many years, so he has a deep understanding of this. He really can't do anything to Yang Zhen, but he can shirk it with various excuses, so that Yang Zhen has never been able to really grasp power. As long as Yang Zhen has no power in his hands, even if his reputation in Jinyiwei grows because of all the things before, it is difficult for others to follow, and a boss who can't let his subordinates be rewarded for their meritorious service is useless no matter how famous he is. And as long as no one followed, Yang Zhen could not really pose a threat to Liu Shouyou, and was finally completely forgotten.
On the way Liu Shouyou has come to this day, he has met many sharp guys, who are either extremely lucky or have outstanding abilities, but they are often defeated in this procrastination. Therefore, he firmly believes that this time, Yang Zhen will not be able to escape this law, and finally disappear from everyone.
In fact, Yang Zhen didn't know what Liu Shouyou's idea was, but for the current situation, he really had no way to deal with it. He can't go to Wanli and ask the emperor for some errand because of this. Not to mention that today's little emperor may not have the power and courage to help him, even if he does, if he helps him this time, the image he has worked so hard to establish in front of the emperor will be ruined.
Therefore, even if he knew the other party's intentions and how embarrassing the environment he was in, Yang Zhen could only hold back his mood and wait quietly, waiting for an opportunity to stand in the center of the stage again!
Of course, the current situation is not entirely bad for Yang Zhen, at least life is very leisurely. Not only do you not have to wake up early and go to bed late like you did when you were on an errand in the palace, but you don't even have time for yourself, and you are even more relaxed than when you were in the chessboard street. Because he didn't have any errands on him, he naturally didn't need to wait in the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division all day, and with his current status, even if he didn't show up for a few days, no one would dare to gossip. Or it can be said that Liu Shou and his faction can't wait for Yang Zhen to never appear. But even if he is not bad and does not do things, he will not be less than a penny.
So now Yang Zhen's life is a fight with those old civil servants in later generations, and he will go to the yamen for a turn every day when he thinks of it, and then he slaps his ass and leaves, which is really chic. If he didn't have other higher requirements, didn't think about how to deal with Zhang Juzheng and them, and didn't think that the Ming Dynasty was about to come to an end, he might be happy to accept the current situation.
Because such a day is not only comfortable, but also makes the people around you feel very satisfied and happy. Zhang Jingyun didn't know that Yang Zhen still had something hidden in his heart, and all he wanted was to be with Yang Zhen more, now he didn't have to go out to do things all the time, and he had a lot of time to be by his side, she naturally enjoyed this kind of day.
During this period, Yang Zhen did take Zhang Jingyun to visit all the scenery worth seeing inside and outside Beijing, what Lugou Xiaoyue, Taiye Qingbo, Daoling Sunset...... But anything that is available in this era, where people can go over and see at will, he and Zhang Jingyun's footprints have been there.
The relationship between the two has also become deeper with this long-term stay and travel together. What's even more inhumane to outsiders is that a pair of young men and women are even more interested in this after tasting the joy of bed, not only Yang Zhen, but also Zhang Jingyun, a woman with a tender face. Whenever night falls, the two will communicate in the room, living a happy life of envy of mandarin ducks and not immortals.
Although the relationship between these two people is normal in the afterlife, isn't it cohabitation before marriage? But in the Ming Dynasty, this practice was a little too shocking. It's only because the neighbors around him don't know too much about the details of the two of them, they just say that they are really a small couple, so there is no gossip.
As for the two themselves, one is a traveler from later generations, who doesn't pay much attention to the rules and customs of this era, and the other is a strange couple who have been traveling with their grandfather since they were children and don't understand the world at all. If this matter is known to some Taoist gentlemen in the government and the opposition, I am afraid that these old people will definitely say loudly: "The world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient!" And then a harsh critique......
This kind of leisurely days, Yang Zhen passed for several months, and the time also changed from the winter of the fourth year of Wanli to spring, and then from early spring to the late spring stage, and it seemed that it was April. At this time, the appearance of two pieces of news finally slightly broke his slightly calm and dull life.
On April 14, after a lapse of five days, Yang Zhen once again came to the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division. Since he didn't have any errands on him, every time he went, he would meet a lot of jealous or ridiculed eyes, Yang Zhen didn't bother to run over there often, anyway, with his current status, no one dared to come to him for such a trivial matter.
After coming to the Zhenfu Division, Yang Zhen went to see Liu Shouyou first as usual, chatted with him for a few words, and after being sure that there was no errand to do for himself, he went to Tang Feng's place to sit down. Although the two cannot fight side by side as they used to because of their different concepts, this does not affect their relationship as friends. At least in the entire Zhenfu Division, Tang Feng was one of the few people who could still treat him as a friend.
As soon as he saw Yang Zhen coming, Tang Feng put down the books in his hand and poured him a cup of tea with a smile - to put it mildly, Tang Feng has been working here for more than a year, but he has never had the opportunity to change his situation, he is still idle, almost unable to get any errands, he can only read books to pass the time. And he is much more patient than Yang Zhen, even so, as always, he is on time every day, and there is almost no time to be absent.
For this, Yang Zhen was both admired and puzzled, and today he couldn't help but ask: "Qianhu, why do you come to Zhenfu Division every day?" In fact, you should also know that even so, they will not give you any chance. β
Tang Feng tasted a cup of tea carefully, and his face looked very calm: "All I want to do is to have a clear conscience." As for how they want to do it, does it have anything to do with me? β
"Oh?" Yang Zhen glanced at the other party suspiciously, this answer was very Zen, if it really came from the mouth of a person who had no desires and no desires, he might believe it, but he knew Tang Feng's personality and thoughts, so it was quite interesting for him to say this. However, Yang Zhen also knew that the wall had ears, and he didn't want to get involved in this kind of conspiracy and calculation, so he didn't continue to ask.
"And it's not for nothing to come here every day. For example, the day before yesterday, I helped you because I was here. Tang Feng continued.
"Helped me? But what is it? Yang Zhen asked with some surprise. I'm not here, how can Tang Feng help himself?
"Helped you keep the secret." As Tang Feng spoke, he revealed the answer, took out a letter from his sleeve, and handed it to Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen looked at the envelope, and his name was written on it, and the inscription below was the old Taoist Zhang Tianqian. This made him slightly stunned, and then he knew who sent the letter, it was Jingyun's grandfather. I didn't expect that he would think of sending a letter to him when he went to Miaojiang to do business, it seems that it should be a letter to Jingyun.
"Thank you Qianhu for helping me intercept the letter." After Yang Zhen put the letter in his sleeve, he thanked him. He knew very well that in this era of not paying much attention to privacy, if his letter fell into the hands of others, it would inevitably be opened by the curious and courageous. Although there will be no taboo words in Zhang Laodao's letter, this kind of private letter is unpleasant to be opened after all.
"It's nothing. After all, I am also a thousand households, and they dare not refuse to give it to me. Tang Feng waved his hand disappreciatively. Then he remembered something: "By the way, you are now a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and it is time to change your name to me." If you don't dislike it, just call me Brother Tang. β
"This ...... It's good. Then I, who is a brother, will be cheeky and obedient, Brother Tang. Yang Zhen hesitated slightly, then changed his words.
After sitting at Tang Feng's place for a while and saying a few words, Yang Zhen left the Zhenfu Division and turned around and went home.
As soon as he entered the house, Yang Zhen heard the fragrance from the kitchen, but it was Zhang Jingyun cooking food again. I don't know which aunt mentioned it, Zhang Jingyun actually began to worry that Yang Zhen's body would not be able to stand it after being happy with Yang Zhen during this time, so he went to buy a lot of ingredients to nourish his body and strengthen his kidneys for Yang Zhen to eat, which made Yang Zhen, who has always had amazing "combat effectiveness", not embarrassed.
But this is a piece of beauty's heart after all, and he can't refuse. You can only eat these medicinal foods every day, and then ...... You know.
Seeing Zhang Jingyun tinkering with these things again today, Yang Zhen unconsciously smiled bitterly, and then remembered the letter hidden in his sleeve, and said, "Jingyun hurry up and come out first, your grandfather has a letter." β
Zhang Jingyun, who was cooking, blushed cheeks, thinking about Yang Zhen's performance at night after eating this meal, As soon as he heard this greeting, he was immediately overjoyed: "Really? Grandpa, he finally got a letter? I've been missing him lately, and I don't know how he's doing. In this series of words, she had rushed to Yang Zhen quickly, impatiently took the letter in his hand, tore open the seal and hurriedly read it.
"Speaking of which, the Taoist chief really has the ability to predict the future, and he actually knew that I would go to the Zhenfu Division and sent the letter there." Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh beside him. Indeed, in this era, there is no too formal address system, and there is no house number, and it is still a little difficult to accurately deliver letters to someone, and the only exception may be the major yamen.
When Zhang Jingyun heard him say this, she wrinkled her nose a little proudly: "Of course, my grandfather is right, how can this little thing be hidden from him?" β
"Oh? In that case, why didn't he just send the letter here, wouldn't it be more convenient? Yang Zhen couldn't help but quip.
But this time, Zhang Jingyun ignored his words, and saw that her expression was already at this time, and she had turned from surprise just now to nervousness and a trace of sadness......
Today is still the third watch, and the first watch will be presented firstγγγγγγ
