Originally, the heir was here, and the county governor of Liangxiang had to put down all his official duties and stay overnight in the gatehouse of the pavilion, waiting for the summons of Banzai at all times. No matter what the need, he must be responsible for the preparation and complete financing as soon as possible. But when Yang Tinghe's team was still twenty miles away from Liangxiang, the county magistrate called Zuo Er from the yamen to the top tank, called himself sick, and ran away.

After Zhu Houxi heard the news, he also held back the fire in his belly, but he had not yet ascended the throne, so he couldn't really punish the county magistrate. can only suppress all the anger in his heart and complain to Yang Chengzu, the elder brother.

Yuan Zonggao didn't know that after the meeting that day, he was excluded from the core circle by Heijun. Sometimes it takes a lot of effort and some chance to gain someone's trust, and to destroy that trust can be just one thing or just a word.

"When I was twenty miles away from Liangxiang, I was afraid that the county lord was still sitting in the yamen. As soon as Yang Tinghe arrived, he was going to greet him, in their hearts, who was the emperor? "Among the annexes of the palace, there are also people who are responsible for inquiring about the news, and before Yang Tinghe's guard of honor arrived, someone understood his pomp and circumstance and reported it.

The number of servants of this team has reached 3,000 people, although now that the Son of Heaven has died, the new monarch has not yet been established, and the court is in a state of panic, in order to avoid accidents, it is understandable that Shoufu has strengthened security. But the 3,000 Beijing battalion acts as a guard, no matter how you look at it, it's a bit of a fuss, and the edge is too exposed. This pomp and circumstance is only three points weaker than that of the Son of Heaven, and any of the vassal clans of the Ming Dynasty does not have this kind of style.

Yang Chengzu smiled and comforted: "I only see the sun, I don't see Chang'an, that's it." Banzai lives in the palace forbidden, too far away from these people. If you want to take care of them, you have to go through the cabinet and the ministry. After all, it's not the time for the ministers, they certainly want to please Banzai, but it is the Shoufu who can really decide the fate of their careers. Yang Tinghe even only needs to say a word, or throw a clip casually, he can demote the Liangxiang County Order to a place where birds don't as Zuo Er, and he will definitely have to work hard. ”

"The eldest brother will remember the name of this magistrate for me, and after I ascend the throne, I will be the first to send him to the distant miasma as an official. Yang Tinghe...... He's finally coming. ”

No matter how he calculated in advance, and how he cheered himself up, when he thought of facing the current Ming Dynasty's No. 1 real power role, Zhu Houxi's face was still very ugly. He is a child after all, and trying to make himself more mature does not mean that he is really not afraid.

Yang Chengzu said: "Long live rest assured, the minister is by Long live's side, and it doesn't hurt." Brothers ...... together"

"Its profits are broken!" Zhu Houxi responded, his face looked a little better, thinking of Wei Hui's fire, in that moment of crisis and helplessness, it was this brother who rescued him. He is his own nobleman, he will be very reliable, and he will definitely win.

Yang Chengzu carefully encouraged him, "Tao Shenxian is doing it in the room, he spent a lot of money to get Yang Xindu's birthday eight characters, and is chanting a spell on that birthday to ensure that Yang Tinghe can't fight with Banzai." Yuan Changshi has already gone out to receive him, and having Yuan Changshi take over the first battle can also eliminate a little bit of his sharpness. ”

Outside the pavilion, the huge team has stopped, and dozens of gongs that open the way have gradually returned to silence after sifting out earth-shattering sounds. Someone rolled out a roll of carpet, from the head of the hall to the front of the eight sedan chairs, a close chief carefully lifted the sedan curtain, and then another long man supported the first real power figure of the Ming Dynasty, and slowly walked out of the sedan chair.

On the other side, Yang Shen had already stepped forward to help his father, and the father and son, escorted by the servants, walked towards the pavilion. No matter how grand and pompous this road is, one fact is that Yang Tinghe is already an old man who is close to the age of sixties, and it will not taste good to walk so far in a sedan chair. Even if Yang Tinghe is energetic and healthy, under this kind of long-distance action, he can't bear it.

The years are unforgiving, if you are ten years younger, you will not be so sad. Yang Tinghe looked at his high-spirited son, and sighed in his heart, I am afraid that he will be able to assist Xinjun in the future, and he is still his son. It's just that although he is only tall, he is ambitious as a young man, and he will inevitably be proud of his talents, and I hope that he will not suffer in the future.

Inside the pavilion, an older old man stepped out, saluted from afar, and came to see his seniors. Although in terms of age, Yuan Zonggao's age is older than Yang Tinghe, but he is a Jinshi in the third year of Hongzhi, compared to Yang Tinghe and the Jinshi of this Chenghua year, he has to be regarded as a junior. The rules of Da Ming Shilin are like this, and the old boy must call himself a junior when he sees a young man, which cannot be messed up.

Looking at the white-haired old man in front of him, Yang Tinghe's heart secretly turned: Probably this old man gave the prince the courage and confidence to support him, right? He doesn't think that a child has the courage to compete with him, and most of the people standing behind him are this kind of old bureaucrats.

As a person in the officialdom, he understood Yuan Zonggao's grievances and dissatisfaction, and he was directly sent to the palace to make a long history from the promising Jinshi and the first, and since then he has never been able to make progress. Whoever it is, he will not be too happy in his heart, he can understand this unwillingness and the resulting dissatisfaction, but he still wants to say, Yuan Zonggao, you are playing too much!

"Brother Zhongde, don't be polite, in terms of age, I still have to call you Brother Ren. Speaking of which, the court is sorry for you, if it weren't for the original arrangement, the current position of the younger brother should be that of the benevolent brother. ”

"Shi Zhaigong, what you said made Yuan feel ashamed. In terms of talent and learning ability, Shi Zhai Gong is ten times more foolish, so don't make fun of old decay. Presumably, Shi Zhaigong is here to see the prince, and I will lead the way for you. ”

Yang Shen was not qualified to pay homage to the heir, so he could only wait outside, and Yang Tinghe took the opportunity to enter the pavilion and said softly: "Brother Zhongde, why do you have to do this? Those old people back then are no longer in the court, even if you have a temper, you have found the wrong person. ”

"Temper? Shi Zhaigong, you misunderstood. You probably think I'm resentful, but whether you believe it or not, the old man has never regretted going to Xingwangfu to make a long history. All along, Lao Yu has been honored to be able to serve King Xing. This time, it is not the meaning of the old man, whether Yang Ge believes it or not, the old man has been persuading the prince to enter Beijing to succeed the unification. However, the lord of the world, the old man can't do it, he can only look at Yang Ge's ability. ”

While speaking, the two of them had already come to the room where Zhu Houxi was, and the eunuchs were routinely accommodating, and then they were recruiting. The door opened, and the prince did not come out to greet him, Yang Tinghe at least stepped in by himself, looking forward to the first encounter with the future master of the empire.
