Zhejiang's literary style is flourishing, and there are many capable people. Since Tang Yi served as the prefect of Hangzhou, he has also vigorously recruited talented people and formed his own shogunate, although it is not as good as Hu Zongxian, there are many talents, but it is also extraordinary.

In addition to Li Zhen, He Xinyin, and Tang Hezheng, there are four more important figures, the first one is named Zhu Xian, who was born in martial arts, and has a first-class kung fu class.

The second named Jin Dan was a county student at the beginning, and later abandoned literature and martial arts, and followed Qi Jiguang on many expeditions to help dispose of military grain and grass, which was very set.

The remaining two are classmates, one is called Jiang Zhou, the other is called Sun Keyuan, both are students of Hangzhou Fuxue, not only outstanding grades, but also enthusiastic about political affairs, several envoys to Xu Hai and Wang Zhi, they all have a share, and they are Tang Yi's students, and they are deeply trusted.

On the whole, these four people are half civil and military, and they are young and strong, and they are all people who are spiritual scholars, and they are loyal to Tang Yi and have nothing to say.

The only flaw is that they are generally young, inexperienced, and still need to be experienced. However, the three stinkers beat Zhuge Liang, and everyone got together, which was still very helpful to Tang Yi.

Jiang Zhou took the lead and said: "What kind of Laoshizi sacrifice Haiqincha, it is simply to transfer the teacher from the position of the city department, I guess most of it was done by the Yan Party, and they have bad intentions." ”

Jin Dan still didn't believe it, scratched his head, and said, "No, isn't there no other arrangement for lifting?" It is estimated that after the end of the sea sacrifice, it will come back, the adult is the prefect of Hangzhou in the 36th year of Jiajing, and he can only be promoted after completing the examination in three years, and he will not be promoted until the 39th year of Jiajing! ”

Sun Keyuan smiled slightly, "In recent years, the party has been in charge, and the officials of the imperial court have changed frequently, so how can they be promoted only after passing the exam." The master alone added four or five million taels of income to the imperial court, which is better than the household department. Who is not greedy for such a big piece of fat, I guess that Yan Dang wants to snatch the city from the master all day long. ”

Several others looked at each other and agreed.

The city is indeed too tempting. Shanghai, Ningbo, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, throughout the four provinces, are the richest places in the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of millions of goods every year, millions of taels of taxes. There is such a saying in the southeast, called "Governor Hu is in charge of the army, and Tang is in charge of money", which compares Tang Yi and Hu Zongxian, and even overwhelms several other governors.

And actually. Tang Yi's financial resources have surpassed that of Hubu Shangshu, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so he can do whatever he wants, not to mention how comfortable his small life is.

Zhu Xian pondered for a long time, and said tentatively: "My lord, although the city is not a grass creation, all kinds of rules are being established, if you leave." I'm afraid that if the successor doesn't have your ability, the good situation will be ruined! ”

"yes. Mr. Zhu is right, Master, the southeast can't do without you! Jiang Zhou said with concern.

Tang Yi has been listening to everyone's discussions, to be honest, of course he doesn't want to go, how comfortable it is to be his grass king in the southeast. It's just that there are some things that he can't decide. What's more, he has higher ambitions, and the experience in the southeast is only a part of his accumulation of strength, and the real battlefield is not here.

Get up from your seat and face north. Tang Yi sighed.

"Yan Dang is not terrible, in fact, the only one who can move me now is Your Majesty, and Your Majesty treated me a little differently in the past. It's just that last time I burned the evidence of the crime in Quanzhou, although I took the overall situation into account, but in the eyes of His Majesty, I still stood on the side of the gentry, and I was no longer the pure minister. In the past few years, Lu Taibao, Lan Daochang, as well as Grandpa Mai and Grandpa Huang, have all helped me speak, but who can guess His Majesty's thoughts! ”

Tang Yi smiled bitterly: "This holy decree is not a temptation for me, if I don't obey the order, Your Majesty's suspicion will only get heavier and heavier, once you are suspicious, Yan Dang will definitely take the opportunity to do it, and then it will be really troublesome!" ”

After listening to Tang Yi's words, everyone lowered their heads silently, to put it bluntly, Tang Yi and Hu Zongxian are the same, the higher the position, the more they are restrained, and the more they have to cross the river with their eggs, without the slightest carelessness.

Seeing that everyone's morale was low, Tang Yi laughed, "You don't have to worry, I have almost run the southeast in the past few years, and the city department from top to bottom, even ordinary scribes and accountants, are all from the three major colleges, no matter who is sent to replace me, there is no name for promotion, and it will not be able to set off a big storm." ”

Zhu Xian said in a sullen voice: "It's good for adults to have self-confidence, but everything is most afraid of accumulating over time, if the successor tosses around, there will be three or five years, and the situation you have created will be scattered." ”

"No, it won't!" Tang Yi said categorically.

"Why?" Everyone asked in surprise.

Tang Yi suddenly smiled at Tang Hezheng, "What did I ask you to prepare the day before yesterday?" ”

"Birthday gift!" Tang Hezheng said without hesitation: "It is a gift for Yan Ge's eightieth birthday, one hundred and eight big pearls, a longevity word, not to mention worth 500,000 taels." Senior brother, I think you've passed, so what are you doing with Yan Song? ”

Tang Yi's face darkened suddenly, it was true that he was not in harmony with Yan Dang, but the number of etiquette on the surface could not be missing, Yan Song, as the first assistant, the teacher of a hundred officials, and his eightieth birthday, how many people would not be able to look forward to it in their lifetime. Even Jiajing sent Yan Song a handwritten imperial book, how could Tang Yi be lazy.

That's not the point, though! The point is that Yan Song is eighty!

Zhu Xian reacted first, slapped his thigh, and blurted out: "My lord, do you mean that the Yan Party is going to be finished?" ”

"How can it be so fast!" Tang Yi said with a smile: "The court has been silent for so long, and the two sides are not far from starting a war. If I don't go back to the capital, I will be at ease in the southeast, and when the victory and defeat of the court have been divided, and the people will dominate the world, it will not be an order at that time, and I will be driven down. Rather than that, it's better for me to lay out the layout first and seize the lead. Lost mulberry elm, harvested east. We have to cultivate the power in the capital, that is the heart of the empire! ”

After discussing it, it was still the same sentence, and it was difficult to disobey the fate.

Fortunately, he went to Nanjing on an errand, and Tang Yi could still delay time, observe the court situation, and complete the layout as soon as possible to ensure that the golden soup was solid and the copper was iron-bottomed.

On the third day after receiving the holy decree, Tang Yi said goodbye to Wang Yueying, Xiao Nizi is getting closer and closer to the day of childbirth, at this time, medical technology and future generations cannot be compared at all, giving birth to a child is a ghost gate for women, especially the first child, plus Wang Yueying's weak health, it really makes Tang Yi worried.

On the contrary, it was Wang Yueying, with a smile on her face, "Brother, don't worry, when you come back, you can hug your son!" ”

"You're always thinking about me!" Tang Yi indulged in the hair on his wife's forehead, and said with a smile: "Whether it's a boy or a girl, as long as it's our child, it's fine!" By the way, I have asked Mr. Li Shizhen, he has taken care of Wang Cuiqiao, your son is much better than her, and he will be fine. ”

"Hmm!" Wang Yueying nodded vigorously.

What a brave girl!

With reluctance, Tang Yi said goodbye, took Jin Dan and Sun Keyuan, as well as Tan Guang, and three hundred guards, and immediately set off, galloping all the way, almost ten days, and rushed to the city of Nanjing.

The last time I went to Nanjing, it was still a township test, and after a few years of hurried past, I touched the stubble on my chin, and I was not the young man I was back then.

Huan Hai struggled, a heart aged too fast, Tang Yi sighed, unlike other places, Nanjing, as the accompanying capital, has a complete set of administrative institutions, in addition to the cabinet, the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, and the Six Science Corridors, all of which are available. The only difference with the capital is that among the six departments, there are two waiters in the capital, and there is only one right waiter in Nanjing.

Although these people don't have much power, they are of extremely high grade, and there are many old monsters with terrifying qualifications, even if Yan Ge Lao and Xu Ge Lao face them, they have to be polite.

Although Tang Yi has the reputation of Qincha, he is not as big as other people's apprentices and grandchildren, so don't put the score of Qincha as soon as possible, so as not to be bored.

The officials of Honglu Temple were responsible for taking him to the pavilion, a special courtyard, clean and very spacious, Tang Yi had just sat down, and before he had time to drink saliva, the sound of footsteps sounded outside, and when he looked up, it was the Shi Gonggong, and when he saw Tang Yi, the wrinkles on his face were all smiling.

hurriedly ran over and grabbed Tang Yi's hand.

"Hey, looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally looked forward to Lord Tang."

This enthusiasm startled Tang Yi, don't you have anything bad, right?

Tang Yi remained silent, pulled his hand out, and said with a smile: "Father-in-law Shi, seeing that you are full of red light, I guess my life is very comfortable, by the way, when to pay tribute to the goddess of the sea, what are the rules and etiquette, and I have to trouble my father-in-law to tell me." ”

Gonggong Shi was stunned for a moment, "Lord Tang, you don't know what you're doing here?" ”

In a word, Tang Yi was taken aback, obediently, it is really not a good thing!

"Gonggong Shi, don't scare me, I'm cowardly."

Gonggong Shi shook his head, and finally told Tang Yi the details......

The so-called sacrifice to the god of the sea is simply a disguise, but in fact, there is a royal history of the imperial court, saying that it is the secretary of the Southern Military Department Zhang Wei who raised private soldiers, lied about military salaries, befriended generals, and had ill intentions.

The Southern Military Department is still the book, has the right to counsellor the machine, is the head of the South Sixth Department, and in wartime, the authority is amazing, if you really want to rebel, the harm is indeed great, but Tang Yi does not believe that the Ming Dynasty has been more than 100 years, and nothing else dares to say, whoever rebels easily will immediately be labeled as disloyal and unfilial, and the label of a rebellious minister and thief, or it will be finished in a short time, as long as the head is not pumped, there will be no rebellion.

Seeing Tang Yi's doubts, Shi Gonggong sighed, "The child has no mother, it's a long story." Lord Tang, you are not an outsider, our family has told you, and this matter is all on the garrison eunuch He Huan. ”

At the beginning, Huang Jin was a person with two titles, Nanjing garrison eunuch and Jiangnan weaving, after he left, the other eunuchs could not compare with Huang Jin, so they separated, even so, the garrison eunuch represented the emperor, and it was also a monstrous power.

He Chuan is very greedy, relying on his power, occupying land everywhere, and even setting up cards to collect taxes, which makes the people's grievances boiling, and Zhang Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of War, is very old, he is a native of Jiangxi, and he also studied under Xinxue in his early years, and he can be related to Yan Ge Lao and Xu Ge Lao, so he is not afraid of He Huan, on the contrary, he also dealt with several of He Huan's minions, and the two sides grudged.

"Flies don't bite eggs, and Lord Zhang also has a place to overstep the ......," Shi Gonggong sighed. (To be continued.) )

PS: A little transition, something big is going to happen!
