Chapter 617: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf

Hu Zongxian himself is the secretary of the Ministry of Young Soldiers, and it is a logical thing to return to the capital to receive the troops, and there are countless precedents to follow, and there is a great possibility of success.

Tang Yi pondered for a while, and he found that the operation of Hu Zongxian's return to Beijing was simply too many benefits to be indescribable, and it was an indescribably good move!

First of all, Hu Zongxian's crisis was naturally lifted, from the first person in the southeast to one of the six Shangshu, not so conspicuous, not so jealous, maybe it will not be able to avoid the tragic fate in history.

Secondly, Hu Zongxian took over the military department, and blocked Yang Bo outside, after Tang Shunzhi and Hu Zongxian's management, Tang Yi was sure that he would plant his own crops in the military department and control the military power, which was undoubtedly very tempting.

Third, if Hu Zongxian, as an indicator figure of the Yan Party, can protect him, the other members of the Yan Party will be more confident, and when the tree falls and scatters, they will compete to join Tang Yi and form a powerful force.

Fourth, when Hu Zongxian enters Beijing, the southeast will completely fall into the hands of Tang Yi, and no one can curb him, from the governor to the ordinary officials, Tang Yi will have an endless backing, based on the manpower and financial resources of the southeast, and no one will suffer a loss.

Fifth, if Hu Zongxian is brought to the capital, the Yan Party will lose an arm, and Yan Shifan will not be able to toss if he wants toss, so it will become easier to fall Yan.

Sixth......

Tang Yi counted with his fingers, and he could find at least a dozen reasons, and the only thing that made him unhappy was that he was designed by Yan Song.

The old guy must have known that Hu Zongxian went to find him, and he also knew that Yan Shifan didn't let Hu Zongxian see him, why didn't Yan Song cross his son and call Hu Zongxian?

The reason is very simple, he is a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect himself. When he saw Hu Zongxian, what promise could he give? You can't give anything, it's better not to see each other than to see each other!

It's better to force Hu Zongxian to find another way out. With the friendship between the two people, it was the best choice for Hu Zongxian to ask Tang Yi for help, and Tang Yi was actively arranging and wanted to recruit troops, Hu Zongxian took the initiative to take refuge and was in the middle of it.

Based on this calculation alone, Yan Song has dominated the officialdom for 20 years, and it is not a waste of fame, if he is not too old, Xu Jie has no ability to challenge Yan Song at all.

I know that I am calculated, but I can't refuse.

Tang Yi seemed to have eaten a fly, and he was very uncomfortable, but no matter what, it was also a piece of meat, and he swallowed it with his eyes closed!

"Brother Merlin, go back to Beijing to pick up the military department, this is the best way that the junior brother can think of, do you have any other opinions?"

Hu Zongxian's face was solemn, he kept clenching his fists, and slowly released them, repeating it several times, he closed his eyes slightly, full of entanglement.

"Okay, I just want to pacify the Japanese invaders, wait until the day of victory, disarm and return to the field, I don't want anything, can't I?" A general who commands thousands of troops, his heartfelt words are heartbreaking to hear!

Tang Yi's eyes were red, "Brother Merlin, junior brother knows what you think, I don't want to say more, when I was in the southeast, how prosperous the city was, tens of millions of trade volumes a year, how much oil and water, my brother knows that I was transferred to the capital differently." Take a step back and open the sky, my brother is not yet sixty years old, and he has endured the most uncomfortable period, and there is still a chance for you to show your talents. ”

Only then did Hu Zongxian realize that Tang Yi had already encountered his own problem.

Yes, with the power of the city department, it is almost the household department in the southeast, Tang Yi is just in his early twenties, and he is in power, and he can almost compete with himself, the governor.

As a result, he was transferred to the capital in a daze and took over a bunch of messy official positions.

It seems that Tang Yi has lost, but it is precisely because he squatted down that he has accumulated enough strength, and the next leap is imminent, and when he enters the ministry level, he has the qualifications to impact the cabinet, and since then he has become the most powerful few people.

Can Tang Yi do it, but can't he do it himself?

Hu Zongxian thought about it for a long time, but he just smiled bitterly, "I'm just a third-class jinshi, not from Hanlin, so I don't have a chance to enter the cabinet." At most, he will be a secretary of the military department for a few years, and he will go home, and he will be old at the end of his life, and he will ...... "Hu Zongxian said that he was lonely and sad, and Tang Yi didn't know how to refute it.

The silence in the study was as dead as death.

I could only hear the breathing sound of Tang Yi and Hu Zongxian, who had been sitting sullenly, the clouds were thick outside, and after a gust of wind, goose feathers and heavy snow fell from the sky.

It didn't take long for the whole place to be white.

Hu Zongxian got up and looked outside, and with a burst of laughter, Ping'an and Qi Anguo ran out, the two little guys were dressed like cotton bales, wearing deerskin hats and gloves, running happily, leaving a series of footprints on the ground, and soon covered with snow again.

Hu Zongxian seems to have realized that his most important achievements are actually no different from the footprints left by the children, and after a long time, the footprints will be covered and dimmed.

Staying in the annals of history is just a simple piece of text, so why bother so much.

I have completed most of it, and it is not impossible to hand over the rest of the finishing work to others......

"Yes." Hu Zongxian broke the silence, "I figured it out, I can let the governor out, but I just want to operate my entry into Beijing, it's not that easy, right?" ”

Tang Yi's eyes lit up, he didn't expect Hu Zongxian to figure it out so quickly.

"Brother Merlin, how do you know it's not easy?"

"Hehe, the secretary of the military department, that is one of the big nine secretaries, he is in a high position, and he wants to pass the court push, I hate the Yan party, and Xu Jie doesn't like it, they don't support it, just by doing it, I think it's not easy!"

Tang Yi smiled, "Brother Merlin, what you said is wrong. It is precisely because they all hate you that they have a chance, otherwise where will it be our turn to fish in troubled waters, you can rest assured, this military department is still decided! ”

Hu Zongxian was curious, but Tang Yi was silent, and refused to say more, just asked the kitchen to prepare the dinner. invited Xu Wei and Mao Kun over again, and the four of them made up a table, chatting very happily.

After turning the day, Tang Yi began to run about Hu Zongxian.

Don't look at Yan Shifan's teeth and claws, he is purely a fox and a fake tiger, as long as the old Yan Song nods, the Yan Party's vote will still fall on Hu Zongxian's body, the Yan Party's people are not stupid, the Yan family's father and son are gone, a meritorious and high-ranking Hu Zongxian, more or less, can help them, just rush to this point, Yan Dang's side don't worry too much.

As for the neutral faction, Tang Yi can only grasp the vote of Gao Gong, after all, Hu Zongxian's reputation is mixed, the controversy is very large, and he has no experience as an official in Beijing, so it is difficult to conquer the neutral faction. It's useless to bother with effort.

After all, the most critical thing is Xu Dang.

Be sure to convince Xu Jie, and Hu Zongxian's matter will become more than half.

It's just that how to convince Xu Jie, it's really difficult.

Tang Yi kept thinking about it, and when the carriage arrived at Xu Jie's mansion, the housekeeper saw Tang Yi coming, and said with a smile: "Lord Tang, the master has ordered, you don't need to be polite when you come." ”

The housekeeper smiled and led Tang Yi into the study.

Xu Jie didn't look up, "There's water over there, and if you're thirsty, you pour it." ”

He also looked down at the official document, waited for a quarter of an hour, and then raised his head, seeing that Tang Yi was still standing there, Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, and quickly covered it up, but Tang Yi knew that Xu Jie was treating him as Zhang Juzheng, so he would be so casual. Thinking about it, Tang Yi is still a little jealous, Zhang Juzheng's guy is nothing remarkable, how can he get Xu Jie's weight like this, he is really puzzled!

Xu Jie hurriedly said: "It's a line, do you have something?" ”

"Master, the disciple is here to say goodbye!"

Xu Jie stroked his palms and smiled: "It's not the New Year yet, the old man doesn't have a red envelope!" Xu Ge, who has always been serious, is joking, obviously in a good mood these days.

Tang Yi said with a smile: "Master, the disciple is here to congratulate you, the Yan Party is going to be finished!" ”

Xu Jie frowned, "What is strict with the party or not strict with the party, Yan Ge is the old man's in-laws, and he can't learn from others to chew his tongue." ”

It can really hold garlic!

Tang Yi didn't care, and said to himself: "When the disciple was ordered to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to comfort Elder Yan Ge, he personally said that he wanted to pay tribute, it can't be fake, right?" ”

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, he was not because of Yan Song, but because of Tang Yi!

He went to Yan's Mansion and sent the imperial pen, Xu Jie was clear, but Xu Jie didn't expect that Tang Yi would tell him the truth, it was really incomprehensible!

"Okay, do you think what Elder Yan Ge said is true or false?"

"It should be true." Tang Yi said firmly: "Old age lost his wife, Yan Ge is an infatuated person, he is very happy and wants to retreat." It's just that he wants to retreat, but Yan Shifan's gang is still unwilling. When I went to Yan's Mansion, Yan Shifan also took people to bombard me, and I almost didn't see Yan Ge Lao. ”

It doesn't make sense to tell lies to Xu Jie. Tang Yi simply poured beans into a bamboo tube, and some didn't have it, and he said it all. Xu Jie was stunned, and said in his heart that Tang Yi had a bad brain, or did he really have the same heart as himself?

"Okay, what do you think should be done?"

Tang Yi pondered for a while and said, "Teacher, Kuang Fu Sheji, eradicating the traitorous party, is right in front of you." It's just that the Yan family father and son have been in business for many years and have deep roots, and if we fight back, we will lose a lot. Therefore, the disciple thought that he should first cut off the wings of the Yan Party, especially the military power, and take down the outside governors, the soldiers would not be chaotic, no matter how the Yan Party tossed, it was a storm of teapots, nothing remarkable! ”

Xu Jie suddenly smiled and said: "Xingzhi is indeed handsome, Yan Dang originally pointed at Yang Shun in the north and Hu Zongxian in the south, Yang Shun has long since died, and there is only one Hu Zongxian left, does Xingzhi mean to transfer Hu Zongxian into the capital?" ”

"That's right, let Hu Zongxian take over the secretary of the military department, and then select and send cadres to the southeast to wipe out the forces of the Yan Party."

Xu Jie didn't rush to express his position, but lowered his head and thought, Tang Yi, this kid is very frank, and what he said is also for his own consideration, but there are still some difficulties......

"Okay, the military department is still in the book, but Yang Bo has been staring at the position, I am afraid that if I give it to Hu Zongxian, it will hate Lao Xi'er!"

Tang Yi shook his head and said: "Master, the disciple has the courage to strip you, if Yang Bo is allowed to take over the military department, with this old man's connections and strength, others in the military department will never want to get involved again, it is better to hand it over to Hu Zongxian, who has no basis in Beijing." Moreover, Yang Bo is in a hurry to return to Beijing, except for the secretary of the military department, the only thing worth grabbing is the heavenly official of the ministry and the minister, and the current secretary of the ministry is Ouyang must enter! ”

Xu Jie's brows were deeply locked, and he sighed for a long time: "Okay, you are letting the old man drive the tiger and devour the wolf!" (To be continued.) )
