At this time, Fang Congzhe was writing hard in the study, his mood was very happy, and his slightly dark face was full of smiles.

Yang Xiaoyu pushed open the door and walked in, seeing that Fang Congzhe didn't even turn around, he said with a smile: "Grandpa, are you still satisfied with what your grandson did today?" ”

Fang Congzhe heard Yang Xiaoyu's words, threw down the pen with a smile, turned around and sat on the chair, motioned for Yang Xiaoyu to sit down and speak, and said: "The emperor protected Zhao Nanxing and others, did not raid their homes, only dismissed their official positions, the old man always felt that the emperor had other deep meanings, but he was puzzled, but Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong and others left the court, and Ye Xianggao could not hold it alone, this may be a good opportunity for us!" ”

"Grandpa is far-sighted, according to his grandson's opinion, why don't grandpa take advantage of the gap between Gao Panlong and Zhao Nanxing while they are still in prison, and arrange for someone to take their official positions, when the time comes, they will be out of prison, even with Ye Xianggao's help, they can only return to their hometown in disgrace, and it is difficult to have a chance to turn over!" Yang Xiaoyu said with a smile.

Fang Congzhe stood up and paced, frowning and said: "The positions of the official department and the imperial envoy of the left capital of the Imperial Court are not ordinary people who are qualified, they must have both prestige and qualifications, otherwise, even if they go up, they will not last a few days and then come down again!" ”

Yang Xiaoyu knew that Fang Congzhe had no suitable candidate for the time being, so he immediately smiled and said: "Grandpa, why worry, my grandson will recommend you a person, he may be qualified to be the secretary of the ministry!" ”

Fang Congzhe raised his head in surprise and looked at Yang Xiaoyu and asked, "Who is this person?" ”

"Shen Mingda, the third son of the Shen Pavilion Department, he was born in Jinshi, and he is a Zhejiang official, he is deeply respected by the officials and people in Jiangnan, and he has been the prefect of Yangzhou for three years, and it is time to take a step higher!" Yang Xiaoyu said unashamedly.

Fang Congzhe smiled and said, "Shen Mingdafei is from a Beijing official. Moreover, his prestige is insufficient, and it is difficult to serve as the secretary of the ministry, but he will be transferred to Beijing first to serve as the left waiter of the ministry, and then look at others after observing for a period of time. ”

Fang Congzhe finished speaking. Looking at Yang Xiaoyu and said with a meaningful smile: "He is your father-in-law, who was suddenly promoted from the prefect to the secretary of the ministry, and is easy to be criticized by the courtiers, take your time first, don't be in a hurry, if you rise too fast, it will easily cause the jealousy of other courtiers!" ”

"Thank you, grandpa!"

Yang Xiaoyu secretly scolded Fang Congzhe for being treacherous, what rose too fast, it was all a pretext, Fang Congzhe had only been an official for more than six years. The rest of the time is in the countryside, and it's not the same as being the first assistant of the cabinet of the imperial court.

"There is a lack of an imperial envoy in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, this is a fat shortage, but now it is a hot potato, you can't take it or throw it away, what do you think?" Fang Congzhe's brows furrowed together, and he asked in a deep voice.

Most of the officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were members of the Donglin Party, and they controlled the way of speech and officials. The governor of the military administration of other towns has the right to impeach the governor of the army. Moreover, the Metropolitan Procuratorate also led the errand of patrolling the city, and there were nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses under its jurisdiction, which was not a small number.

The imperial envoy of the left capital is a fat shortage, however, except for the Donglin Party officials can take office smoothly. If other officials want to take up the post of imperial envoy of the left capital, it is easy for them to be jointly overthrown by the officials of the Donglin Party.

Fang Congzhe didn't want to give up this piece of fat, but he didn't dare to take it, and he was in a dilemma.

Yang Xiaoyu thought for a while and said with a smile: "Keep interrupting." Contrary to the chaos, why not be more generous to my grandfather, let the secretary of the criminal department serve as the imperial envoy of the left capital, and then let our people take the lack of the secretary of the criminal department! ”

Fang Congzhe's eyes lit up, this is a good way, throw the fat of the Zuodu Imperial Envoy to the Donglin Party intact, and then use his own people to top the criminal department Shangshu, but can Ye Xianggao agree to this matter?

Yang Xiaoyu didn't care how Fang Congzhe distributed, he just wanted to get the fat that he should have, and now, he gave Shen Mingda a shortage of the left servant of the ministry, and he had to get another piece of fat, otherwise, he would be too sorry for his hard work to arrest people at the risk.

"Grandfather, the commander of the east and west cities of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is a member of the Donglin Party, and he is now imprisoned in the edict prison, and his grandson wants two subordinates to take over the commanders of the east and west cities, do you think this is okay?" Yang Xiaoyu asked tentatively.

The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, that is, the Central, Eastern, Western, Southern, and North Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Command Divisions are the six Yamen, each with one commander, four deputy commanders, and one officer. Responsible for law and order, fire prohibition and grooming of the canal streets.

Fang Congzhe didn't look down on this kind of little meat, and waved his hand: "Just do as you say, you will leave their names later, and the old man will present them to the emperor tomorrow!" ”

Yang Xiaoyu hurriedly said: "Thank you, grandfather!" ”

After thanking him, Yang Xiaoyu got up and walked to the desk, picked up the pen Fang Congzhe used just now, and was about to write the names of the two subordinates, however, at the moment of putting down the pen, he didn't know whose name to write?

The ten thousand households under his command are all five-grade military attachés, and now let them go back to be sixth-grade military attachés, no one will want to, besides, the Jinyi Guard is powerful, but the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is doing some trivial tasks to manage the streets, and no one wants to do this kind of unpopular errand!

In a moment, Yang Xiaoyu thought of a person, and quickly wrote down Hu Chenghe's name, originally Hu Chenghe and a white ding, suddenly became a thousand households in Jinyiwei, although it was just a handyman thousand households, but it also made the thousands of households who had worked hard in the blood and rain for many years feel uncomfortable.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Xiaoyu lowered Hu Chenghe's official position to eliminate the jealousy of other thousands of households, but in fact, he gave Hu Chenghe a decent official position, and he didn't have to do some miscellaneous things, and he could be an official in a dignified manner.

After writing Hu Chenghe's name, Yang Xiaoyu thought for a while, and wrote a name: Huang Changhe!

This person is the hundred households of the Fusi of Beizhen, under the command of Bai Chengwang, and he also has an identity, the son of Huang Zhongwei, the deputy envoy of Fufu.

Yang Xiaoyu will rely on Huang Zhongwei and Ding Chenghu to help him grasp the power of Beizhen Fusi in the future, so selling Huang Zhong as a favor can make him continue to work for him.

After writing down the names of the two, Yang Xiaoyu turned around and asked, "Grandpa, when did you release Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong?" ”

"This matter is not in a hurry, although the emperor dismissed their official positions, he did not say when to release them, first put them in the edict prison, and then let them out after the official vacancies in the court are replaced!" Fang Congzhe said with a thoughtful smile.

Yang Xiaoyu nodded approvingly, anyway, the emperor did not have an edict, he could treat it as ignorant and continue to detain the two, and wait until the official positions in the DPRK and China were confirmed, and then send someone to punish the two of them from prison and return to their hometowns.

Fang Congzhe smiled, Yang Xiaoyu was able to bring down some officials of the Donglin Party this time, and said with a smile: "You quelled the rebellion in Shandong, caught the thief Xu Hongru, and found out the military salary case this time, what reward do you want?" ”

Yang Xiaoyu knew that the Carpenter Emperor was not reminded by anyone, and it was difficult to think of his merits, let alone promote his officials, but if someone in the cabinet was willing to give him credit, the Carpenter Emperor would definitely not be stingy with rewards.

Fang Congzhe is the head of the cabinet, and his proposal for a reward is reasonable!

"The grandson has done a big enough job, and I'm afraid that the courtiers will feel uncomfortable if they are promoted again, so it's better to do this, my grandfather asked the emperor to add a title of Zuodu Governor to my grandson, so that the grandson will be rewarded, and the courtiers will be able to balance their hearts!" Yang Xiaoyu said cheekily.

Fang Congzhe nodded appreciatively: "Mu Xiu is in the forest, the wind will destroy it, this is the eternal rule, you can toss too much, if you are given a real official, the courtiers will have to live in fear all day long, in that way, everyone will guard against you in the future." ”

"Grandson remembers grandfather's teachings!" Yang Xiaoyu thanked with a smile.

Fang Congzhe smiled, asked Yang Xiaoyu some trivial matters, and waved his hand to let Yang Xiaoyu go back, he wanted to be quiet.

Yang Xiaoyu got the actual benefits, and he didn't want to stay any longer, so he said goodbye to Fang Congzhe, left the Fang Mansion, and went straight to Beizhen Fusi and returned.

He was busy and got the official positions of a servant of the Ministry and the two commanders of the soldiers and horses in the East City and the West City, which was worth it, after all, the fat was too big, and there were more people with red eyes, he was able to get such a piece of fat, and he had to thank Fang Congzhe for his generosity, if he changed to someone else, it would be good to be able to drink a mouthful of soup.

Return to the North Town Fuji.

Yang Xiaoyu sent someone to summon Hu Chenghe!

Hu Chenghe was busy with the trivial matters of firewood, rice, oil and salt in the courtyard, and when he heard Yang Xiaoyu summoning him, he hurriedly ran into the hall, and after saluting, he said with a smile: "What is the matter with the lord?" (To be continued......)
