For the six yamen, since Yang Chao arrested the third son, they felt a lot more relaxed.

Among them, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War, to be precise, the two Shangshu are quite satisfied with Yang Chao, whether it succeeds or not, at least Yang Chao will lead the scholar's firepower to Jinyiwei, although Jinyiwei is very dissatisfied, and the suppression envoy found the military department and made a big noise, asking the military department to arrest people, and ran to Ying Tianfu to arrest people, but the civil official group is happy to let Jinyiwei carry the black pot in the future, anyway, it was Jinyiwei who provoked it, and they didn't carry anyone to carry this black cauldron.

But two days later, as soon as the third notice was posted, the scholars' attention returned to the side of the civil official yamen, and once again surrounded the six departments to explain the law.

Especially outside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, the emotions of the scholars were particularly intense, and eighty percent of the scholars surrounding the six departments were in the Ministry of Rites.

The messenger of the Ministry of Rites was extremely nervous, closed the door tightly and allowed the scholars to abuse outside the door, cry outside, shout the ancestors and ancestors, shout Confucius and Mencius saints, and scold the traitorous ministers.

The Ministry of Rites made up its mind that it would never open the door.

The Ministry of Rites was the most sad, so the Ministry of Rites was the first to summon Yang Chao.

Yang Chao thought that Huang Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, would scold him, but to Yang Chao's expectations, Huang Jin was relieved by kind words, and still showed that his determination to support Yang Chao remained unchanged, so that Yang Chao could rest assured and boldly do it, but at the same time, he also hinted that Yang Chao's scholars besieging the Ministry of Rites made him very embarrassed, and if the scholars went to besiege other yamen, the Ministry of Rites would not mind.

Huang Jin almost told Yang Chao directly, 'Let the scholar go and smash the Zhenfu Division'.

Yang Chao said again and again that everything was under control, and soon the scholarly commotion would disperse.

Yang Chao's impression of Huang Jin is much better, Huang Jin's will to realize is willing to be responsible, willing to carry it for Yang Chao, at least willing to take responsibility with Yang Chao, unlike Xiong Mingyu, who doesn't do anything at all and doesn't want to take responsibility at all.

Therefore, Yang Chao came to the Ministry of Rites first, and then went to the Ministry of War, and he didn't want to meet Xiong Mingyu, a thick black bureaucrat.

I just don't want to see it.

By the time I arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of War, it was already noon.

When Yang Chao saw Xiong Mingyu, Xiong Mingyu was eating and didn't let Yang Chao eat together, which was very rude.

Yang Chao bowed honestly.

"Xiaguan meets Lord Xiong."

Xiong Mingyu put down his chopsticks and waved his subordinates to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Only then did he look at Yang Chao: "Get up." ”

Yang Chao stood up: "Lord Xie." ”

He was not given a seat, but stood where he was.

Xiong Mingyu was slow and methodical, washing his hands, rinsing his mouth, and tidying up his clothes, and he tossed for a quarter of an hour before he began to speak.

"Say, what's the matter, the scholars are making more and more noise, and it's getting more and more intense, what about your charter?"

Xiong Mingyu actually asked the teacher for guilt.

Yang Chao sneered in his heart, Xiong Mingyu was unwilling to come out of this old boy, but now he put on a very disappointed attitude, as if Yang Chao had betrayed his trust.

However, in the face of Jiangnan giants like Xiong Mingyu, Yang Chao felt that no matter what he did, he would not be able to affect Xiong Mingyu, and Xiong Mingyu was completely invincible.

If Yang Chao successfully quelled the scholarly commotion this time, it would be a meritorious atonement for the Ministry of Rites, a meritorious service for the Jinyi Guard, and a proper response for the Ministry of War.

That's right, the military department will definitely get credit, even if they don't take a little responsibility, even if they don't make any effort, they are meritorious.

The reason is very simple, Yang Chao is the military attache of the water battalion, and the military department has the right to transfer troops, once the matter is completed, the military department will reissue a few documents at that time, which can mean that Yang Chao was sent by them early in the morning, and as long as the matter is not done, they will not issue a note, and everything has nothing to do with them.

Yang Chao couldn't do it, they put the blame on Yang Chao, and Yang Chao did it, because the leaders of the military department had a good way.

Therefore, Yang Chao did not dare to take the initiative to send troops, and the provincial military department would deduct the basin of the private transfer of troops to his head in the future, so as to minimize his own risk, but it could not affect the military department at all.

Therefore, Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the military department, was invincible early in the morning.

In this regard, Yang Chao has nothing but helplessness.

"Back to adults. The number of scholars is much smaller, less than 200 the day before yesterday, but today there are almost 300. Because the subordinate officials cannot transfer troops, because the subordinate officials cannot seal the door. ”

Yang Chao simply said it directly, pointing out that the situation was getting more and more serious, because he Xiong Ming didn't send troops, not because he Yang Chao didn't do well.

Xiong Mingyu snorted coldly: "Don't you have soldiers under you?" Didn't the official allow you to act cheaply? ”

Xiong Mingyu still dared to say something about his verbal promise, Yang Chao couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in his heart, it was completely a trap, and he thought that he couldn't see it, this was an insult to his IQ, it was unbearable.

But if you can't bear it, you have to endure it, suppress your anger, pretend to be plain and say: "Back to the adult's words, the soldiers under the subordinate officers killed the ninth-level bandit leader, but the official documents have been detained, and the morale of the soldiers is low for meritorious service, and the half of the silver has not been seen for half a year, and the soldiers cannot be mobilized for their salaries." ”

Yang Chao directly pointed out the unfair treatment he encountered, and the city government that Xiong Ming met must have understood it at once.

If it is a stunned youth, he will definitely help Yang Chao solve it, but Xiong Mingyu is an old Jianghu.

Xiong Mingyu stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Well, your difficulties are known to the official. However, the difficulties also need to be overcome, such as the use of troops in many places today, Huguang and Henan are full of soldiers, where there is no need for silver, and the lack of pay for the soldiers is really helpless for the imperial court, Yang Qianhu can understand the difficulties and share the worries for the imperial court. ”

Yang Chao bit a little: "What Lord Xiong said is extremely true, the lower officials should do their best, share the worries of the court, and die." However, the soldiers are not rewarded, the army is discouraged, and it is unbearable to use, and it is difficult for the subordinate officials to cook without rice, and they hope that the adults will understand the difficulties of the subordinates. ”

Yang Chao made it clear that if this matter was not resolved, his soldiers would not move.

Xiong Mingyu understood that Yang Chao meant that his military exploits were detained, and his soldiers were very dissatisfied that they did not have a reward.

What Xiong Mingyu didn't know was whether Yang Chao wanted military merit or salary.

If Yang Chao just asked for money under the pretext, Xiong Ming didn't have a lot of encounters, and the two armies were still squeezed out, and let Yang Chao help solve such a big trouble as the scholars, and he should be fully responsible, and it should be given some military pay to let him taste the sweetness.

If it is a military merit, Xiong Mingyu still has to figure it out before he can manage this matter, because the army's military merit will not be detained by the yamen for no reason, there must be a cat greasy, or a personal grudge, or this military merit is not coming from the right way, if Yang Chao's military merit is to kill the good and take the risk, he Xiong Mingyu does not dare to risk the world's disapproval, and forcibly fight for him, if he just offends people, Xiong Mingyu does not mind being a peacemaker, talking and making peace.

If the military merit is real, it will generally not be deducted, because the report of a real military merit is beneficial to officials at all levels, and they can all be divided into merit and political achievements, and there is no reason to withhold it.

So Xiong Mingyu asked directly: "Does Yang Qianhu want military merit or salary?" ”

Yang Chao pondered for a moment, and had to be cautious when talking to an old fox like Xiong Mingyu.

Yang Chao said: "What the petty officials want is justice. Military merit is earned by the subordinate officials with their lives, and the reward of silver is even more justified, but they are deducted for no reason, and there is no explanation, the subordinate officials are not satisfied, and the soldiers are not satisfied. ”

Xiong Mingyu knew as soon as he heard that Yang Chao wanted military merit and salary, but Yang Chao was so confident, could it be that the military merit was real, and the real merit was someone who had nothing to do to find something to detain it, everyone looked good on their faces when they reported it, and Xiong Mingyu also had a headache about the Jiang bandits, it was the most headache for him except for scholars, and Yang Chao's soldiers suppressed the Jiang bandits.

If you don't know something, Xiong Mingyu will never agree easily, if something happens suddenly, it will be a demon, there must be an unknown cat in it, if you don't figure it out, Xiong Mingyu will not meddle rashly.

So he said: "Yang Qianhu is easy to do, if he has military merits, he will be rewarded, the court will not chill the hearts of the soldiers, the court will reward meritorious service, and the fault must be punished. Yang Qianhu has military merits, so the official will naturally find out and give you an explanation. However, the scholars in front of him were in a hurry, but they could not be delayed, and Yang Qianhu could not delay under the pretext of military merit and money. ”

Yang Chao said: "What the adults teach is that. The subordinate officials should do their best. ”

Yang Chao is still talking clichés and empty words.

Xiong Mingyu simply asked directly: "How many days?" ”

Xiong Mingyu asked Yang Chao to say a deadline.

Yang Chao said: "After a military achievement, the unhappiness in the soldier's heart can be dissipated, and then the official can guarantee the deadline." Otherwise, the official will be incompetent. ”

Yang Chao insisted that he must first solve the matter of military merit.

Xiong Mingyu was a little annoyed, Yang Chao kept bargaining with him, he was a military secretary, Yang Chao was just a military attaché, the two were not businessmen, this is the Yamen of the Ministry of War, not a vegetable market, nor a place for bargaining.

But Xiong Ming met the city with a deep government, a high level of cultivation, an old age, and a small temper, but he was not angry.

Nodding his head and saying, "Okay, good." Then set a deadline, the official will set up first, and the official will help you find out the military merits within three days. ”

Yang Chao said: "After the military merit is rewarded, the lower officials will solve the scholarly commotion within ten days." ”

Xiong Mingyu's expression froze: "Really? ”

Yang Chao was also very serious: "Seriously! ”

Xiong Mingyu said: "Okay, if you come to me in three days, I will give you justice." Ten days later, I want you to settle the matter of scholars. ”

Yang Chao said: "Don't worry, my lord! ”

Xiong Mingyu waved his hand and said, "Lord Yang, go down and get busy." ”

Yang Chao didn't want to stay for a long time, so he happily retired and left the military department.

This time Yang Chao was not polite to Xiong Mingyu, which can be described as unwise, but Yang Chao really couldn't believe Xiong Mingyu, even if Xiong Mingyu promised to solve the problem for himself after the fact, Yang Chao didn't dare to rest assured, he had to see the rabbit to scatter the eagle, he had to see the money to deliver, and he had to see the coffin before he shed tears.

Otherwise, once the matter is over, Xiong Mingyu will not admit it like Zhou Yanru did to Ruan Dacheng, or give an empty favor, Yang Chao wants to cry without tears
