Zhu Houxi smiled, "Big brother, if you always say this, it makes me feel that we are far away." It's better when I'm still in the palace, I'm just your brother, you can be my big brother with peace of mind. Now I don't like to hear it, so let's change my words. By the way, when Yang Tinghe was teaching me to study today, he deliberately said that next year, he would open Enke once. ”

Although Jiajing is now on the throne, he officially changed the yuan and announced the era name, which will be next year. Including Enko, it will not be carried out until next year. After the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, the Jinshi of the first department is of great significance, and there is this article on the resume, which is a powerful basis for promotion in the officialdom.

It is said that this kind of enke, the scholar should be grateful, but the main examiner of this subject is Yang Tinghe, and the deputy chief examiner is Qiao Yu, the secretary of the ministry. Obviously, these Jinshi who won the prize became Yang Tinghe's protégés, but they made wedding clothes for him. After the clash of ceremonial incidents, Yang Tinghe obviously wanted to fight back through Enke, so that the young Son of Heaven could understand whose future fate of the empire should be in his hands.

"Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are either silent, and most of the people who speak out are Yang Tinghe's people. This court inside and outside, everyone knows Yang Shoufu, who still has the emperor in his eyes? Zhu Houxi complained hatefully, "If I want to be pro-government, I must have my own people, if I get that account book, I can beat some people and bury a few more nails in Yang Tinghe's team." ”

Those letters and account books are not necessarily really used to kill, as long as they are taken out on the right occasions, they can always be more or less exchanged for a part of the benefits for themselves. Therefore, this thing is indeed very important to Jiajing Tianzi, and the only person in his hands who can do this is Yang Chengzu.

Originally, An Lu followed a lot of honor guards, but there were not many who could really get Zhu Houxi's trust, such as the new Jinyi commander Zhu Chen, who was also the trusted guard of King Xingxian at the beginning, the old man of the palace. But within a few days of entering Beijing, he got closer to Yang Tinghe, and I heard that he was planning to let his son go to the imperial examination, how could such a handsome brocade cloth get the emperor's trust?

"Big brother, how many people do you want to use to do this? Although I have just ascended the throne, we don't have much power at our disposal. However, there is a good thing, that is, the Zhang family is not on good terms with Yang Tinghe, and in the past two days, several officials have begun to impeach Zhang Yanling and Zhang Heling. These officials, according to the eldest brother, are all stones used by the bigwigs to ask for directions, and the Zhang family seems to be aware of it, so they are extremely good to me. is still planning to marry the queen for me, and the people in the palace will naturally come to me. If you want to use people, maybe you can still pick some. ”

In addition to the 26 guards and the three battalions, the inner court has always had a powerful force in its hands, that is, the Tengxiang four guards and the warrior battalion. These people are under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, nominally to raise horses, but in fact they are a strong pawn in the hands of the inner court. In the past, Yu Qian guarded the Beijing Division, and in the future change of seizing the door, the Four Guards Banner Army and the Warrior Battalion played an important role, and there were many brave and good fighters.

It's just the loyalty of these people, Yang Chengzu didn't dare to pack tickets. The people involved in these ledgers and letters are too powerful, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not extend their tentacles into the warrior camp, but this is also an opportunity, and now Gu Dayong still has this big card in his hand, how long will he keep him, he might as well try this matter.

"The minister is going to talk to Gu Dayong, and now the imperial horse supervisor is still in his hands, if he uses people, he will finally make a decision."

"What is the eldest brother in a hurry, wait until you have eaten before leaving, I have already ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a wine banquet, although the matter is urgent, it is not bad for this meal. Gu Dayong is very attentive to me, but the position of the imperial horse supervisor is critical, and he must not be allowed to be in charge, so the eldest brother will try him to see if he can stay. The future Imperial Horse Supervisor, I mean to let Huang Jin make the palm print, what does the eldest brother think? ”

Yang Chengzu smiled, "Long live, you are the lord of the four seas, appointing a palm seal, just like appointing a commander, just let you make your own decisions." Especially the people in the inner court, the ministers are not familiar with it, and if they come up with ideas casually, it will be a big deal. I believe that Your Majesty's eyes, the person you have picked, will definitely be up to the task. ”

Zhu Houxi laughed and said, "Big brother, you are too cunning, you don't speak in this kind of thing." No, I can't let you be so idle, I will reveal the news when I go back, whoever can be the palm print of the imperial horse supervisor, the eldest brother has the final say, see how many people send silver to the eldest brother, and in the end, whoever sends more silver will do this position. The eldest brother brought so many family members to Jingshi, and I didn't come up with any decent rewards here, so they will pay for the money. ”

The wine and vinegar bureau alley on the east side of Di'anmen Inner Street is the location of the 24 wine and vinegar noodle bureaus of the "four divisions, eight bureaus and twelve supervisors". The Wine and Vinegar Noodle Bureau is in charge of the production, processing and supply of wine, vinegar, sauce, noodles and beans for the royal consumption, while Caochang Hutong, adjacent to the North Vinegar Hutong, is where the Tengxiang Siwei and the Warrior Camp store the forage.

In the whole alley, the carts transporting forage are non-stop day and night, the river is endless, the grass ash is flying, and the cries of livestock are chaotic into a pot of porridge. The Ming Dynasty stipulated that each royal war horse was equipped with 150 acres of pasture, and the pasture required by the entire Tengxiang Four Guards and the warrior camp amounted to 4,500 hectares. The forage produced on these lands was to be transported here for the use of the royal horses.

Yang Chengzu asked several people, and only then did he find Gu Dayong with grass clippings on his head next to the big scale for weighing hay, he was staring at the person who was weighing the scale, and when the other party shouted out the weight, he stared at it fiercely with those small eyes. It wasn't until he was sure that the other party hadn't deceived himself that he waved his hand and continued to weigh the hay below.

Seeing that Yang Chengzu was coming, Gu Dayong left the big scale, came to the room behind him with Yang Chengzu, and ordered someone to make tea, "I'm sorry, I don't know that Yang is directing me, I'm slacking, don't worry." It's been so dirty and messy here that it can't be put on the table, but now it's time to harvest the grass, and if we don't keep an eye on it here, they might be greedy for benefits and falsely report the numbers of the forage. To do things for the heavenly family, you always have to use dim sum, so our family has to accompany them to eat grass. ”

Gu Dayong said, while taking out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, "This intention, it is said that it should have been sent to Commander Yang a long time ago, but there have been many things in the warrior camp recently, and he has not been able to pull out, so it is not strange to command." This little meaning is for the commander to settle down, I heard that you have a house at the entrance of the lamp market, this little meaning, just settle down at your home. ”

Yang Chengzu didn't look at the number on it, but casually put the silver ticket in his sleeve, and his face was silent, "Father-in-law Gu, I came today, not for this, but for some things to ask you for help, it depends on whether my father-in-law is willing or not." Do you have reliable manpower in your hands, I have something to do, I need to use some people, I want to believe it, I don't know if Gu Gonggong is willing to help. ”
