"Come (Wu Changshi's word). The old man met again this time, Zhang Puju made great contributions, and he also contributed a lot. The old man can't forget. ”

After inviting Wu Changshi, he had a good time, and Zhou Yanru returned to business.

Wu Changshi said respectfully: "The old gentleman is serious, and his meager strength is not enough to worry about. ”

If it weren't for Wu Changshi and others who tried their best to impeach the cabinet members this time, which made Chongzhen disappointed in the cabinet, Zhou Yanru would not have become the first assistant so easily.

It can be said that this time it was Zhang Pu who was outside and Wu Changshi was inside, and they worked together to successfully operate Zhou Yanru again.

In addition to Zhang Pu, Wu Changshi is also a well-deserved No. 2 person in the Restoration Society, and he is worthy of Zhou Yanru's wooing.

Zhou Yanru said with a smile: "The old man knows it in his heart. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wu Changshi was secretly happy in his heart, he had been an outsider for many years, but he couldn't be promoted.

Sure enough, Zhou Yanru suddenly said: "Now there is a shortage of people in the Ministry of Officials, and the old man thinks it is extremely suitable." ”

Wen Xuanlang is also one of the Langzhong, and the Ministry of Officials is the first of the six departments, which involves the appointment and promotion of officials at all levels, which can be said to be the core of the core.

Every chief assistant takes the position of the ministry in his own hands.

Now Zhou Yanru wants Wu Changshi to be a ministry, but he regards himself as a confidant.

Wu Changshi immediately stood up and thanked him: "The student is cultivated by Mr. Enxie, and I will never dare to forget it in my heart." ”

Wu Changshi can be regarded as recognizing Zhou Yanru as a teacher.

Zhou Yanru understood, but he didn't say it, but instead made a sad appearance and sighed again and again.

Wu Changshi immediately asked.

Zhou Yanru took out two pieces of paper.

The paper was densely filled with people's names.

Zhou Yanru pointed to one of them and said, "This person is as good as the person he wants to kill, how can I kill it all?" ”

He pointed to another and said, "This is the person who is promoted as the heavens want, how can I use them one by one." ”

Zhang Pu and Zhang Tianru did give Zhou Yanru two lists, one of which was for the corrupt officials who wanted Zhou Yanru to be dismissed, and the other was for Zhou Yanru to be promoted and reused after he came to power, and the vast majority of them were people from the Restoration Society.

But Zhou Yanru did tricks in these two lists, for example, Wu Changshi saw his name in them, but he was just appointing a member of the household department, and the household department was naturally better than the Ministry of Rites, but it was equivalent to leveling himself and failing to achieve his hope of promotion, so he immediately became resentful.

This time, he worked with Zhang Pu to make Zhou Yanru meet again, and he contributed greatly, and Zhang Pu was just a civil activity, he was active in the officialdom, in Wu Changshi's heart, he felt that his contribution was greater than Zhang Pu, why did he Zhang Tianru suppress himself, was he afraid that he would threaten his Zhang Pu's status in the Restoration Society.

Zhou Yanru saw Wu Changshi's face and was extremely satisfied, he did things very beautifully, and did not remove Wu Changshi's list, otherwise it would be too fake, Wu Changshi is also a member of the Fushe Society after all, if Zhang Pu doesn't let him be promoted, it can't be said at all.

In fact, Zhang Pu also wanted Zhou Yanru to reuse Wu Changshi, and the official position he gave was also one level in Langzhong.

But Zhou Yanru quietly lowered a notch, which was enough to make Wu Changshi dissatisfied with Zhang Pu.

Zhou Yanru sighed: "Tianru is still too anxious. When the knowledge governs a big country, it is like cooking a small fresh. If the old man really appoints officials according to this list, it will involve too much, and I am afraid that before the old man clears up the officialdom, the old man's first assistant will also come to an end. I can't bear to have to involve you and other pillars of the country. ”

Wu Changshi nodded: "Everything comes to listen to the old gentleman." ”

Zhou Yanru nodded with satisfaction, stroked his beard lightly and smiled.

……

After Ruan Dacheng, Shi Kefa, and Yang Wencong used their connections, Xu Zhongxiao's case was temporarily deadlocked.

For the time being, no one is looking for Yang Wencong, and no one is putting pressure on him.

Xu Zhongxiao is still locked up in the county jail.

But things can't go on forever.

To sentence Xu Zhongxiao, it is not so simple.

Yang Chao and Yang Wencong's plan in the past was to send Xu Zhongxiao to the army, and then after some operation, Yang Wencong was greatly famous.

Yang Chao once planned to let Yang Wencong do a few face-saving projects, such as resting the streets, and let him work on the front line and supervise the construction of workers every day.

At the same time, he was looking for a few gangsters to attack Yang Wencong, blame Xu Zhongxiao of Jinyiwei's hundred households, and then let Yang Wencong continue to work hard with injuries.

In this way, there is an official style that is not afraid of power and is diligent in things, and it is not difficult to ensure that Yang Wencong is promoted.

But after these incidents, Yang Wencong became timid and gave up the follow-up plan.

Yang Wencong not only gave up, he rarely even went out, and his family also sent him back to his hometown Guiyang.

This disappointed Yang Chao, these literati were too bold, and at the same time put Yang Chao under more pressure.

How Shi Kefa's side operated, Yang Chao didn't know, and Yang Chao could only hope for Shi Kefa's sense of justice.

I hope that Shi Kefa can argue with reason and put pressure on the high-level, and it is best to directly stab the emperor.

But until Wang Xiao returned from Beijing, there was still no result.

When Wang Xiao came back, he naturally invited Yang Chao to a banquet and a gathering of friends.

Wang Xiao's return also made Yang Chao feel that he could finally wait for the opportunity to turn the tables.

In Yang Chao's opinion, Wang Xiao's courage is much greater than that of these civil officials.

Moreover, the relationship network of the Wang family is also more complex and broader than that of Yang Wencong, one thing is certain, the relationship network of the Wang family can go straight to the emperor, at least it has a relationship with the eunuchs around the emperor.

South City Building.

Wang Xiao never gave Yang Chao a chance to talk about business.

Wang Xiao has been talking impassionedly about her own affairs.

said that together with Zhang Pu, he had remitted money from Nanjing to Beijing through a layer-by-layer business network.

In Beijing, he followed Zhang Pu to find officials at all levels, and kept giving gifts and trusting relationships.

Obviously, Wang Xiao must have followed Zhang Pu and took this opportunity to connect Zhang Pu's network to his own family's network. Wang Xiao is very good at this kind of thing, and he is also very willing to do it, and he will definitely not let go of the opportunity.

Wang Xiao kept saying that in the end, they successfully pushed Zhou Yanru to the throne of the first assistant, and then they stopped talking.

Yang Chao was always in a hurry to talk about his own affairs.

He hoped that Wang Xiao could help through the eunuchs in the palace to stab Xu Zhongxiao's crime of tyrannical bullying and domination through the eunuchs in the palace.

"Brother Wang..."

Yang Chao has just seized the opportunity.

"Brother Yang!"

Suddenly, Wang Xiao interrupted Yang Chao loudly.

Then he frowned, shook his head, and sighed, "Brother Yang." Stop it! ”

Wang Xiao had a bitter tone.

Yang Chao suddenly felt bad, it seemed that Wang Xiao already knew about his own affairs, and he was unwilling to help him.

Yang Chao not only showed a look of disappointment.

But soon he sneered, raised his glass and poured three glasses of wine in a row.

When he was about to drink the fourth cup, Wang Xiao grabbed his wrist.

"Brother Yang, don't drink it. Listen to me. ”

Wang Xiao persuaded.

Yang Chao sneered: "What else is there to say." I just didn't expect that there would be a hundred households in brocade clothes. No one in the world has been able to cure him. What I didn't expect was that even you were in league with them. ”

Wang Xiao sighed: "Brother Yang, you misunderstood, the little brother is completely for your good!" ”

Yang Chao snorted: "For my good, help me bring down that brocade guard!" ”

Wang Xiao shook his head: "It's easy to bring down a brocade cloth and a hundred households." But you've offended too many people. Don't talk about Nanjing, there is no place for you in the whole south of the Yangtze River. ”

Yang Chao said angrily: "So what? Big deal, I'm going to Beijing. In the big deal, I went incognito. ”

Wang Xiao said: "Brother Yang, calm down. It's not worth it for a hundred households in brocade. ”

Yang Chao sneered: "Then what's worth it?" ”

This matter is not a question of whether it is worth it or not, the most important reason why Yang Chao wants to bring down Xu Zhongxiao is because Xu Zhongxiao threatened Yang Chao's family, and Yang Chao can't take this risk.

Wang Xiao said at this time: "Brother Yang, let's make a deal." ”

"Deal?"

Yang Chao suddenly understood, it was still a transaction, it turned out that Wang Xiao was here to be a middleman.

Yang Chao couldn't help but sneer.

Wang Xiao nodded and said, "Deal!" Brother Yang, let go of that brocade guard and change a chance to be promoted. ”

"Deal? Promotion! ”

Yang Chao's heart moved, things are really not a simple answer, Wang Xiao obviously represents an unusual character.

"Tell me, who told you to come?"

Yang Chao asked straight to the point.

Wang Xiao said: "Don't hide it from Brother Yang." It is Gu Zhaoji, the Marquis of Zhenyuan. The Xu family is deeply rooted in Nanjing City, although it is only a hereditary Jinyiwei hundreds, but their family is in Jinyiwei and Xunchen, and the relationship is deep. Xu Zhongxiao's grandfather also worked as a thousand households. Xu Zhongxiao's aunt and grandmother once served as Gu Zhaoji's grandfather's concubine. The Xu family and the Gu family can be regarded as in-laws. ”

Gu Zhaoji is a noble, and the title is a marquis, but this is not the point, the title has reached this point, whether it is an earl, a marquis or a duke, it is no longer of much significance.

The important thing is that Gu Zhaoji is a descendant of the founding father Gu Cheng, and the Gu family is a first-class figure among the Ming magnates.

The reason why they are first-class characters means that their family not only has the privileges of a great nobleman and enjoys various privileges, but also Gu Zhaoji is a real power figure.

Gu Zhaoji is now in charge of the Jiang River, and he is the commander of the river defense, and all the river defense fleets along the Yangtze River are under his control, including the Xinjiangkou Water Camp where Yang Chao is located.

Therefore, Gu Zhaoji is still the general boss of Yang Chao, the head of the water camp.

Yang Chao couldn't help sneering, deeply understanding what power is.

Yang Chao thought that he had also woven a network of relationships, a network of power.

But compared to the Xu family, he is nothing.

Because Yang Chao's power network, to put it bluntly, he squeezed into it by himself, and he was like a feather, gently lying on this power network.

And the Xu family is a real link in a power network, and the power that the Xu family holds in his hands is far better than Yang Chao.

Yang Chao suddenly stopped being angry, isn't this the way of the world, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would not have perished.

With a long sigh, he asked, "What official does Gu Zhaoji want to promote me?" ”

Let go of Xu Zhongxiao in exchange for a chance to be promoted, this is the best choice at present.

The power that is really grasped in one's own hands is truly reliable.

In addition, no matter how many officials you have befriended and how many deep backgrounds you have contaminated, you will not be able to compete with the real power in your hands.

Because what is equal to power can only be power.

Sometimes money can be exchanged for power, but sometimes, only power can be exchanged for power.

Wang Xiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Yang Chao loosen his mouth, and said: "A thousand households in a water army guard!" ”
