Yang Yiqing first had the merits of supervising the Ma Zheng of Shaanxi in the front, and then he had the exploits of repeatedly resisting the little prince to build the side wall, so although he was a candidate for the cabinet that the emperor had instructed before the court push, this was not in accordance with the rules, but at the time of the court push, the opinions of the big nine secretaries were surprisingly unanimous. Whether it is the neutral faction, Zhang Fuhua, Xie Duo, Tu Xun, who are close to Xu Xun, or even Zhang Cai and Han Fu of Liu Jin's faction, everyone recommends Yang Yiqing first. Of course, Li Dongyang's hard work was not in vain, Yang Tinghe's name was hung after Yang Yiqing, and a piece was presented to the imperial front.

As a result, the little emperor, who was satisfied that Yang Yiqing's return to the dynasty was a foregone conclusion, was also very happy about the reappearance of Yang Tinghe and this name, and approved the matter with a stroke of the pen. But it was supposed to be Xiao Jing who sent the things back, but Xiao Jing took the imperial book, but he asked for his resignation, at this time, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help frowning: "I am not in the capital this time, thanks to Xiao Companion in the celebrant supervisor, now that Liu Jin is not here, Gao Feng is seriously ill, can't Xiao Companion help me in the celebrant supervisor?" ”

"Your Majesty, although Liu Jin is not here now, Gao Feng is seriously ill, but there are still Zhang Yonggu and others in the palace......"

Before Xiao Jing finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao interrupted him: "Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong told me that the two of them have limited talents, and this celebrant is in charge of approving red, and they are not as calm and reliable as you have been in charge for many years." As for the others...... They don't even have the ability to do that! Therefore, Xiao will accompany you to choose a few safe people for me, and when the newcomer can take charge of himself, I will definitely send you to support the elderly. ”

Thinking of his previous rapid retreat, this retreat, and now he was driven to the shelves again, Xiao Jing only felt mixed feelings. Seeing that Ruisheng was standing beside Zhu Houzhao, he smiled and winked at him, remembering that the little guy almost lost his life, if it weren't for the queen begging the Empress Dowager Zhang to keep her hand temporarily, and Ruisheng poured his throat with the secret medicine of the Jiaofang Division as soon as Zhu Houzhao returned to Beijing...... He felt a thought that had been thought of for a long time in his mind.

"Since the emperor said so, the slave and maid dare to disobey their orders? It's just that the emperor forgave the slave and maid bluntly, after the previous incident. Latham is not suitable to stay in the Qianqing Palace any longer. Although he has never been to the inner study hall, but the slave maid has taught him to read and write, and he has also let him manage the ceremonial supervisor documents before. After all. The celebrant should use a reliable person that the emperor can trust. How can the people cultivated by slaves and maids be compared to the people whom the emperor has approved a long time ago? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houzhao immediately patted the armrest lightly and turned his head sideways to look at Rayson and Watkins. remembered that he couldn't get out of the Qianqing Palace in the previous days, and if he hadn't come back in time, the queen mother might really kill people! So, he only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay." It's up to you. Ruisheng, from now on, you go back to the celebrant and I will promote you ......" The little emperor pondered and pondered, and finally said in a decisive voice, "Just be a follower, you can afford it, you can't learn with Xiao, if anyone dares to underestimate you." I've got your back! ”

Rayson didn't expect such a change suddenly, and was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, but for a while his throat choked and he couldn't speak. When he got up, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and then said in a hoarse voice: "The slave must live up to the emperor's trust!" ”

Although the urgent letter summoning Yang Yiqing back to Beijing and entering the cabinet had already arrived in Shaanxi in early April. However, after the completion of all the affairs and the assignment of various generals, when Yang Yiqing really rushed back to the capital, it was already May 30. This is because he hurried all the way back to Beijing. Two hundred miles a day, and it took more than half a month to arrive in the capital. Because the family returned to Beijing early to report the news. There are not a few relatives and friends who came to greet him, and even Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, specially took leave to go to the welcome pavilion. When the Yang family's carriage and horses arrived, although the people who greeted them were all plain robes and green clothes, most of the good things were Zhu Zi characters!

When Yang Yi stayed at the post station early in the morning and one night, he got Xu Xun to send someone to deliver a letter, knowing that Xu Xun would not come today. Therefore, perfunctory to these officials with different intentions, he just smiled and played Tai Chi, and he actually coped with Yuru. It wasn't until Li Dongyang invited him to go with the car that he got into the car after he agreed, and when he heard Li Dongyang's first sentence, the smile on his face that made people feel like a spring breeze disappeared.

"Mi An, although Liu Jin is dead, the undercurrent in the DPRK and China is even more turbulent, and you are expected to return to Beijing this time."

"What kind of expectation, isn't it just that when the emperor has any more ingenious ideas, I am in front of me to persuade a little?" Yang Yiqing smiled, and when he saw Li Dongyang's expression tightened, he said thoughtfully, "Of course, I am still counting on me to be able to compete with Zhang Xilu...... I'm a little puzzled, just forget about others, why are you afraid of it, Brother Xiya? ”

Li Dongyang's letter simply described Zhang Cai as a flood beast, although Yang Yiqing also roughly knew the dynamics of the capital, but after all, he was not immersive, and this feeling of empathy was absent. At this moment, Li Dongyang was silent for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Zhang Xilu is shrewd and capable, but he can bend and stretch, endure and break, and now he is trusted by the emperor...... He is now three or five days a day, everyone who heard it is terrified, but the first group of people below waved their flags and shouted, to argue that few people can be defeated, and it is impossible for me to go into battle in person! Even Lin Jun had a big fight with him before, but he was defeated in the end. ”

"Lin Cannon actually lost?"

Yang Yiqing was suddenly surprised, and when he saw Li Dongyang nodding with a wry smile, he couldn't help but gasp when he understood that this was indeed the truth. Zhang Cai he recognized, not only did he recognize it, but because of Xu Xun's relationship, he even discussed a lot of things from military strategy to government affairs, and he always felt that this was a rare talent, but he was unlucky before. And Lin Jun, the youngest and sharpest cannon among the four gentlemen of the Southern Capital, is no stranger to him, after all, Lin Jun became famous earlier. Now that Lin Cannon has lost to Zhang Xilu, what this means is naturally self-evident.

"Pingbei Hou didn't say anything? It must be known that Zhang Xilu has changed the court! ”

Speaking of Xu Xun, Li Dongyang's face suddenly turned blue: "Pingbei Hou? Hehe, in two days, he should be the Duke of Xingguo! He said early, saying that he had been injured in the southern and northern wars in the past few years, and he had to retire for a year and a half, and now he doesn't see outsiders concentrating on accompanying his daughter-in-law and children at home! Speaking of this, Li Dongyang simply gritted his teeth. I think that when Xu Xun forced him to set an alliance under the city and forced him to promise to let Yang Yiqing succeed him as the first assistant, why didn't he see such a light breeze? But now, even if he gets Yang Tinghe back, he doesn't dare to abolish the previous deal.

Not to mention how many years he and Yang Yiqing have been friends, he never wants to be stiff. Let's just say that Xu Xun has a ruthless personality, if he breaks his promise, what will that kid do?

"In this case, Xiya, you let the carriage go directly to the Xing'an Hou Mansion in Wu'an Hou Hutong, and I will go directly to see him."

There was an old case of Lin Han and Zhang Fuhua Lin Jun before, Yang Yiqing had not yet arrived in the capital this time, and the little emperor of the house had already given it with a big stroke, but it was not very lucky. Because the original owner of this house, Liu Yu, the former deputy assistant of the cabinet, is now returning to his hometown by removing his name, but his relatives have already left the capital in a miserable and miserable manner. Even his son Liu Ren, who was supposed to take the current examination, was also implicated, and the bad deeds in the past were turned over, and he was driven out of the capital with his father. Now Liu's Mansion has been replaced by Yang's Mansion, and even many rooms have not even changed their furniture, but the main entrance of the three rooms and five frames has been renovated, which looks more magnificent.

However, the civil and military officials who are ready to flatter the new second-aid, who is very likely to be promoted to the first-aided in the future, were sweating in the Yongfang Wugong Hutong on a hot day, and in the end they were only waiting for Yang Yiqing's carriage and horse luggage, and even Yang Yiqing and Li Dongyang were traveling in the same car as someone reported before, and the car was not seen, and the student who was rumored to be brought by Yang Yiqing was also missing. It wasn't until someone cautiously stepped forward to inquire that they learned the whole story-Yang Yiqing went to visit Xu's house!

The gate of the Hou Mansion of Xing'an has been closed for several days, and although there are occasionally people who can break through the obstacles to enter, it is by no means within the reach of ordinary people who want to climb the high branches. So, seeing that the ordinary carriage was parked at the gate of the Hou Mansion, and then it was picked up from the West Corner Gate, there were people who couldn't help but talk about it for a while, and there were not a few people with hot eyes. But when the inquiry found out who it was, the people who had been waiting for the opportunity outside died down.

It was Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing who came to see each other! The first and second assistants of the dignified cabinet can only go through the West Corner Gate, and the threshold of the Xu family is really high!

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the emperor just left the back door, and I haven't opened this front door for a while, so I can only use the two as a target, and I don't want some people." Xu Xun, who appeared in front of Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing, was holding his baby girl in his hand, and seeing that Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing almost didn't look straight in his eyes, he smiled slightly, "Neiko was just diagnosed this morning and has joy again, and now I need to take care of it carefully, I can't help but take care of Qionghua, I am idle horizontally, so I hold the child and go around." It's okay, Qionghua is very well-behaved. ”

The baby girl in Xu Xun's family is the little character given by the little emperor himself, and it is from Qionghua Island in the palace, which is well known, so it is not surprising that Xu Xun spoils the child, but the Marquis of Pingbei, who is about to be promoted to the duke, is holding the child like a wet nurse, which is really unacceptable to them. After coughing lightly, Yang Yiqing gave Xia Yan on his side a look.

"The student meets Master Hou."

"Huh?" Xu Xun recognized Xia Yan as soon as he squinted his eyes, and immediately smiled, "It turned out to be Xia Gongjin, I heard that you were the counselor of the Shogunate of the Duke of Di'an, and you had a lot of suggestions, and later you worshiped under the Duke of Di'an?" Okay, I didn't see the wrong person at the beginning, you get up! He smiled as he spoke, holding Xu Ning's hand and waving it gently, "Qionghua, you have to recognize people, these two older ones are the first assistant and second assistant of the current cabinet, and that second assistant will also be the first assistant in the future, as for this young man, maybe he will be the first assistant in ten or twenty years, you are lucky, you may see three first assistants in one day!" ”

Li Dongyang's face was dark, and Yang Yiqing was no better, but Xia Yan was stirred by Xu Xun's words, and hurriedly covered it up by bowing his head.
