"What do you mean by that?" Yang Zhen smiled thoughtfully. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"It seems that the adults really don't know about something that happened recently. Just two days ago, His Majesty had already decided on the rewards of everyone on this trip to Shanxi, and Lord Qinchazhong was naturally promoted, and the other generals and the brothers who went with our Jinyi Wei also had their own rewards, but only your reward had some problems. Qu Gui said with some resentment.

Yang Zhen's heart moved, he really didn't pay attention to this matter, because in his mind, his own merits couldn't be covered up this time, especially when Wanli had decided that it was not wrong to appease Nie Fei and them, the matter was even more certain. There may be some debate about how to reward you, but the benefits are indispensable. But he didn't expect that something really happened to him, which made him not so comfortable.

However, Qu Guike couldn't see the fluctuation of Yang Zhen's thoughts, so he said cautiously: "I also heard this from others, at that time, His Majesty intended to promote you to the position of Zhenfu Division for me, but in the end, he was blocked back by Liu Dudu and Gonggong Feng. Therefore, for a while, there is no conclusion on your reward issue, so I can only hang there for the time being. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Yang Zhen even showed an unhappy look on his face this time, Liu Shouyou and Feng Bao did too much, they actually blocked people's future so much.

If it is a big hurdle to enter from an ordinary lower-level Jinyi guard officer to a hundred households, then it is a bigger gap to rise from a thousand households. Although from the point of view of the grade, it was only promoted from the fifth rank to the fourth grade, and it was only promoted by one level, but the status was much worse, and the calmer could be regarded as entering the decision-making level of Jinyiwei, and then it was much easier to rise to a higher level such as the same knowledge or commanding the servant.

"Yes, as far as the lower officials know, the reason they put forward to His Majesty at that time was that the Northern and Southern Suppression Divisions had already been pacified, and there was really no need to promote another suppression, so they could only grieve you first. In this regard, His Majesty could not convince them, so he could only hang first. Qu Gui said again.

Yang Zhen had recovered from the shock at the beginning at this time, not only was he not too angry at this moment, but he glanced at the hundred households in front of him with interest: "Qu Baihu really cares about me, and even inquired about these details." And why are you telling me this? ”

"Didn't Xia Guan say it just now, Xia Guan admires the ability and personality of the adult the most, and really doesn't want the adult to be calculated by other people with ulterior motives, so he came to remind him." Qu Gui hurriedly explained.

"Really? Thank you so much, otherwise I would have been kept in the dark and didn't know there was such a thing. Yang Zhen poured Qu Gui a glass of wine with a smile: "Come, I'll toast you first." ”

As if sensing Yang Zhen's suspicions, Qu Gui was obviously a little unnatural when he drank this toast. And after a few more gossips, he found an excuse to leave. Looking at the back of him leaving in a hurry, Yang Zhen had already come to a conclusion in his heart, this person must have a deeper intention when he said this, maybe someone instructed him to do this, so who could this person be?

Also, there will definitely not be too many people present when the Son of Heaven and Feng Bao discuss the reward, how can this matter be leaked so easily, and even the words of how they rejected the emperor's intention have flowed out, I am afraid that there is also something strange in this.

However, Yang Zhen didn't take these things too seriously, presumably someone wanted to instigate him to fight with Feng Bao and them. In fact, there is no need for that person to be so concerned, just because of the Liang Zi that has been formed over the years, and Feng Bao's identity as Zhang Juzheng's ally, Yang Zhen will definitely fight with him to the end.

This reward issue is not too urgent for Yang Zhen, but it is different for Liu Shouyou and Feng Bao. At this moment, these two spy leaders of the Ming Dynasty gathered together with some frowns, looking at each other but unable to make up their minds.

"Shou, you can't make up your mind. Don't think that you can drag this matter over, until Your Majesty forgets that Yang Zhen has made this contribution in Shanxi, and it has only been two days, and Your Majesty has mentioned this matter to me no less than ten times. Feng Bao said with some dissatisfaction.

"Yes, Xia Guan knows. Xia Guan also couldn't think of a way to prevaricate for such a reason. Liu Shouyou also responded with a bitter face: "Yang Zhen's contribution is indeed great, even if you want to, you can't cover it." ”

"I thought that I could use the voice of the court to attack him with the fact that he recruited the rebels, but now that His Majesty has issued a clear decree that this matter is done right, no one dares to mention it again. I don't know what is so good about this Yang Zhen that His Majesty can trust him so much and obey his words. Feng Bao snorted with some dissatisfaction.

After pondering for a while, Liu Shouyou frowned and thought of a solution: "Shuanglin Gong, Xia Guan thought of an idea, but I don't know if it can be done." ”

"Tell me about it."

"We can't give him a promotion anymore, otherwise with his growing momentum, no one can guarantee how much threat he will pose. But if he can be transferred out of the brocade guard, things will be easy to do. Why don't you come forward and propose to Your Majesty that you transfer him to Dongchang? In this way, even if he is promoted to two levels and becomes a head, I am afraid that it will be useless. Liu Shouyou asked tentatively.

When Feng Bao heard this, he was stunned at first, and then nodded unconsciously: "This is a good idea, if you get him under my hands, even if he has the ability, don't think about playing any tricks." Feng Bao is still very confident in his own East Factory, there is his own world, who wants to live or die is only in his thoughts, Yang Zhen can only accept his fate when he enters it.

But after only being happy for a while, Feng Bao frowned again and said, "But this thing is not easy to do." Your Majesty may not allow me to transfer him to Dongchang, let alone himself. ”

"This ...... Xia Guan has a saying, maybe it can be done. As he spoke, Liu Shouyou lowered his voice and said a solution. After listening to this, Feng Bao felt that there were some problems, but there was no better way to solve them for a while, so he nodded and said, "Okay, just do it, I want to see how long Yang Zhen can be proud." He actually dared to be my enemy several times, and killed all the thousands of households I sent, is it really that Feng Bao is so easy to deceive? ”

"Shuanglin Gong is wise, Xia Guan believes that it won't be long before this hateful guy will not appear in front of you and me again." Seeing him nodding, Liu Shouyou, who was relieved, hurriedly flattered.

"How can there be such a thing?" Yang Chen looked at his brother in some surprise, and said very unjustly for him: "They are clearly trying to suppress you." After returning home, Yang Zhen casually told his brother about the news he got during the day, and Yang Chen was naturally very unhappy with his brother.

Yang Zhen looked relatively calm, and he didn't look too angry: "Actually, this is also expected, Feng Bao and I have long been opposed, how can they give me another chance to rise, so as to give them a greater threat?" ”

"But even then, it's too blatant for them to do so. Isn't there anyone who says a word for Erlang? Yang Chen frowned and said: "For example, that Lord Zhong, he has some friendship with you, and he has made meritorious contributions in Shanxi, so you can't watch Erlang's merits be wiped out like this, right?" ”

Yang Zhen smiled bitterly: "Big brother, you are in the officialdom, but you don't know that my Jinyiwei is different from ordinary officialdom, no matter how long Lord Zhong's hand is, I am afraid that it will not be able to reach inside the Jinyiwei." ”

Yang Chen thought about it slightly, and then understood the reason, it was indeed that he was a little concerned and confused, so he smiled bitterly: "How is this good?" Although you didn't go to Shanxi because you wanted any credit or reward, they did it too much. ”

"Hmph, they do have a good calculation, but I, Yang Zhen, don't rub it like this. What's more, since I have made up my mind to fight Feng Bao to the end, how can I let go of this good opportunity to increase my strength? Yang Zhen sneered.

"You want to fight Feng Bao to the end?" Yang Chen was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked as if confirmed: "He is a close confidant of the emperor, he is the governor of Dongchang, and he is extremely powerful, ...... you like this."

"Big brother, have you forgotten what I said to you in Zhuji County a few years ago?" Yang Zhen's face was solemn and authentic.

"I'll never forget that." When it came to this, Yang Chen didn't feel a little emotional, after all, he replaced the real Yang Chen, and he always felt a little sorry for the brother in front of him. But then, he said with some concern: "You said that you were going to fight Zhang Juzheng, I only said that you were angry for a while, and now it seems that you have made up your mind to do this?" Moreover, Feng Bao was also included in the list of enemies. ”

"Yes, Feng Bao is one of Zhang Juzheng's most important allies, I must eradicate it earlier, otherwise if I want to deal with Zhang Juzheng, he will inevitably be detected by him as the commander of Dongchang. And if I want to deal with Feng Bao, I need the assistance of Jinyiwei, a yamen who is enough to compete with Dongchang. Therefore, this time sitting in the position of calming is the most critical step. Yang Zhen didn't hide his thoughts, and said directly.

"So what are you going to do? Didn't they say that Feng Bao and the others had found a good enough reason to hinder you? ”

"The excuses they made were really good, but they also made a flaw in themselves. As long as this reason is no longer a reason, they can no longer stop me from being the commander of this brocade guard. Yang Zhen said his plan with blazing eyes.

"How is this possible? Unless......" Yang Chen shook his head at first, but soon, he thought of something, and his face showed a look of horror: "Could it be that you want to give that calm to ......"

"Big brother, don't worry, I won't do such a stupid thing, I just want him to automatically resign from his current position to make room for me." Yang Zhen said.
