That night, staying in Shao Boyi, Fengyang Governor Yang Cheng and Yang Zhongcheng sat alone, pondered, and re-positioned themselves. Now there is only one core question, can he control Li You, who can reach the sky and penetrate the ground?

After pondering for a long time, he summed up two points: first, Li You is not his relatives and friends, he is not his protégé, and he does not owe himself favors. Therefore, from the perspective of human favor and morality, he has no means to restrain Li You.

Second, Li You's future does not depend on himself, he can follow the icing on the cake, or he can follow the well, but it is difficult to really affect Li You's promotion and circulation. Therefore, in personal encounters, it is also difficult for him to restrain Li You.

Yang Futai figured out these two key points, and he could know that he couldn't control the unruly Li Xiang. can't control Li You, so is Li You willing to share half of the soup with him (half is not a cup)?

Although Lord Li's various postures of refuge looked quite beautiful, the sincerity he showed was so full that he was even dazzled. But after all, it can't change the essence of the above.

It is not so much that Li You took the initiative to take refuge, but that Master Li came to speculate, or to use himself. Yang Futai even imagined that Li You was reckless and reckless without reporting his banner, and he was forced to repeatedly sweep the tail for him.

Compared with Luo Shenzheng, Li You is really two extremes, one is talented and has dry goods in his hands but is unreliable, and the other is mediocre and lackluster but relatively reliable.

Yang Futai summoned his staff member Xu Shuqin to discuss. This Xu Shuqin was a person who liked to travel when he was young, and he was well-informed, and he failed to take the two examinations, so he followed Yang Futai as the curtain, and he was very valued.

After listening to the proprietor's words, Xu Shuqin said: "What Ming Gong is worried about is exactly what I think, so I can get a little bit for Ming Gong to refer to." In the next thought, this Li You is an extraordinary figure in every way, so it should not be taken lightly. Ming Gong might as well change the number of roads. ”

"How do I change the law?"

"When Ming Gong thinks in his heart, he doesn't have to treat Li You as a subordinate, just look at it a little equally, at least put Li You and Yanyun Si in the same position."

Yang Futai smiled dumbly: "You said that the Ministry and the Academy should treat a mere five products as equals?" ”

"Sometimes you can't just talk about grades, then the imperial history is only seven grades, but who dares to look at it as seven grades? For example, last month, Li Youna accused the salt affairs for being sparse, and replaced it with someone else's sparseness, can it alarm the court? ”

Speaking of this notebook, Yang Futai couldn't help but secretly think that the imperial court forwarded Li You's one hundred and eight articles to himself for advice, which showed that the imperial court was paying attention, otherwise it would just be an extra notebook in the old pile of papers. If you change to someone else's negligence, it may not have this effect.

It is said that after Lord Yang lost the affairs and authority of Hecao, he evolved from the heaviest super governor to the mediocre governor, and urgently needed to be revitalized. Therefore, the salt affairs really made him very excited at this time, and it was also an opportunity to make a comeback.

Mastered the salt affairs, the benefits, prestige, status, and momentum are all there, and the Bing Jing and Tan Jing, who pay tribute to the Jingshi every year, are better than others. In case of various critical moments, you can also scrape together countless pieces of silver to buy others.

Seeing that the proprietor was silent, Xu Xian Shuqin didn't know that Yang Futai had gone away, and thought that he was still hesitating, so he continued to persuade: "Looking at the past, Li You is the best at taking advantage of others to underestimate him, grasping the omission and attacking fiercely, and Ming Gong must not be guarded against. ”

Yang Futai came back to his senses and tried to imagine in his mind that he was fighting against Li You and Yanyunsi, and suddenly had a sense of enlightenment. It turns out that things can still be done in Chuan,

At the beginning of February of the ninth year of Jinghe, the governor of Fengyang arrived in Yangzhou City, no matter what the yamen thought, at this time, in addition to the salt transport Si Ding Yun envoy, the officials of the yamen went out to welcome ten miles. …,

And Ding Yun's envoy did not want to be negligent, he was punished by the imperial court for three months of self-examination, and it was inconvenient to show up before the deadline arrived, and if he wanted to appear publicly, he had to wait until March.

Led by the government office, the yamen jointly organized a grand banquet to welcome the governor to Yangzhou. Yang Futai smiled and was very amiable to everyone, as if a spring breeze was blowing.

Back at his own office, the bright moon was in the sky, the evening breeze was gentle, and Master Li locked himself in the study.

First of all, he reflected on the personal gains and losses of this trip, and summed up the eight big words "the lesson is profound, but it is too much". Then he picked up the pen again and wrote a book according to his own manuscript.

"Since the reprimand of the salt inspection history, the salt supervision has been ineffective, and there have been many inappropriate things so far. The top priority at the moment is to give priority to rectification. The Son of Heaven is about to make a southern tour, and implores the imperial court to quickly send a member of the important ministers of the ministry to rectify the salt law in Yangzhou to protect the interests of the country's salt affairs. ”

This is to ask the imperial court to send ministers to rectify the salt affairs. Although Li You's "important minister" candidate is limited to his five-rank figure, in order to avoid appearing arrogant and inconvenient to name and recommend candidates, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the most suitable person is the governor of Fengyang, who has just moved to Yangzhou.

Before he came, Yang Futai had nothing to do with salt affairs, and he had just arrived in Yangzhou, and the restraint of human feelings and sophistication was not large, which was convenient for the salt affairs. Second, if another important minister is sent to Yangzhou, it will seem to be a bit squeezed by Yang Futai. Thirdly, Yang Futai itself has a foundation in the Jiangbei region, and it has a strong position to rely on, and the effect is better than that of the airborne minister.

When Li You was in Beijing, he knew that in recent years, the Yanyun Division had too much authority in cup affairs, and the imperial court, which felt that it was in danger of being overthrown, had some opinions on this. Presumably, these recitals are very suitable for the appetite of the court and a certain princess.

Regardless of whether Yang Futai can be married well or not, it is imperative to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf to lead Yang Futai to engage in salt affairs, but it is just a different way, or to lure and instigate or force the ducks to the shelves.

It's just that if you can't get a good relationship with the governor and can't cooperate closely, the consequences of this strategy to drive the tiger and devour the wolf are really unpredictable, and Lord Li, who likes to control everything, is a little worried.

Fortunately, there is a plan for both consequences. If Yang Futai defeats the Yanyun Division, he can take advantage of the opportunity of the southern tour of the Son of Heaven in April and May to persuade Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to pick peaches. If Yang Futai can't shake the Yanyun Division, I'm afraid that I will have to come to him to help him, and then it will depend on the situation.

There is also a reason why Li You pushed Yang Futai to rectify the salt business.

Whatever you say, you have to find something troublesome for the governor to do, and let him toss the salt and not get out, it is better than being targeted by him to welcome the car, Lord Li thought so.

In his heart, the Son of Heaven's first southern tour was his forbidden descendant, and it was related to his fifty years of officialdom (if he could live to be seventy years old)!

This limelight must not be let out, if you can't reach a tacit understanding of mutual trust with Yang Futai, then it's better to be careful.

After Yang Futai arrived in Yangzhou City, he settled in the temporary location of the procuratorate rebuilt into the old city. Fortunately, the governor's yamen adopts a single official system, and there are no subordinate officials, only dozens of scribes and staff members in each room, so it is relatively simple to place in the hall and official buildings, and the specifications of the procuratorate are basically sufficient.

In addition, Yang Futai did not take out the three fires of the new official to stir up the wind and rain in the city, and he was very peaceful and calm. Of course, he is not a new official, but he has just moved to Yangzhou Mansion to work.

Under the attention of the whole city, the governor did nothing in political affairs, but the most he did was to go to the banquet. Today I eat the east family, tomorrow I eat the west family, and I have eaten more than a dozen luxurious banquets in more than half a month, which is very condescending.

This is a bit unguessable, and it wasn't until the end of the month that Master Li's vigilance gradually relaxed. Calculating the time, the imperial court should have reacted to his recital. …,

But on February 24, Li Qingtian, who was trying the case and playing the board in the county government, got a report that Yang Futai suddenly went to the north of the city to inspect the construction site of the palace!

Did he finally lose it? In this regard, Lord Li did not dare to be negligent, and immediately withdrew from the hall and summoned the honor guard to go to the construction site in a sedan chair.

Out of the Gongchen Gate and into the palace, I saw a group of people gathered at the front hall steps to point, among which there was Yang Futai, accompanied by Luo Shenzheng and supervisor Guo Xiancheng.

Li You stepped forward to salute, and Yang Futai said with a smile: "It happens that there is nothing to do today, so I came to check on the affairs of the palace." ”

Li You replied respectfully: "The construction of the palace is all thanks to the active efforts of the people of Jiangdu County, and the visit to Futai today is enough to boost the morale of the workers.

Luo Shenzheng looked like a loyal protector and immediately reprimanded Li Youdao: "Lord Li does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority, it is too rude!" ”

View or tour... Yang Futai laughed lightly, and without saying much, he and everyone spared the front hall and walked back.

Luo was directly ignored by Li You, but there was always a feeling of punching cotton, why didn't Yang Futai get angry?

Suddenly, there was a hurried footstep behind him, and a small official from the Tongzhi Department rushed over and reported to Li Youyu: "A moment ago, there was an imperial edict to the office, and I sent it to ask the lord to read it!" ”

Li You knew that this must be the approval of the imperial court to rectify the salt affairs. He has instructed, as long as there is an edict from the imperial court, no matter how Ruzhou is, he must pass it on to him as soon as possible.

He politely said to Futai: "Xiaguan has seen it first." ”

Unwrap it and take a closer look, sweep it away, and see it first, "according to what is played." Li You was overjoyed.

Looking down quickly, Lord Li's face immediately changed drastically, and his eyes widened. In this edict, the imperial court actually "appointed Li You to take charge of the salt law." "Not a single word related to Yang Futai.

Li You was stunned and stunned, didn't he recommend Yang Futai to rectify the salt business? Why did it fall on your head? This little weight of himself can't shake the combination of Yanyun Division and Nanjing at all! If it is soft, it has no effect, it is a waste of opportunity, and if it is hard, it is to touch the stone with your brain!

He can do this errand, he also has the desire to do it, who doesn't want to meddle in salt affairs? But that has to be after the Southern Tour, not now! Are the bigwigs in the imperial court, including His Royal Highness Chitose, blind? Besides, he is still busy with all kinds of things, how can he have the heart to rectify the salt affairs?

Li You looked up in a daze, but saw Yang Futai looking at him interestingly, and said with a smile: "Could it be a matter of salt?" At the beginning of this month, the imperial court sent your song to the official for advice, and the official recommended to the court that you rectify the salt method. It seems that the imperial court is also discerning, and it will be a lot of trouble for Lord Li to work hard in the future. ”

It turned out that the governor recommended him, "Li You doesn't know what to say about this." He dug a pit, but others are not necessarily stupid and have to jump down.

Suddenly, another official from the governor's yamen rushed over and reported to Yang Futai: "There is an imperial court salt edict. ”

Yang Futai was a little dissatisfied, and frowned: "The dignified governor of the yamen, the edict was received later than the county government, this urgent delivery shop really needs to be rectified!" ”

He opened the edict, and only saw a line of words in his eyes, and Yang was responsible for the rectification of the salt law...

Lord Yang's heart was shaken by the shock, and he suddenly turned his head and asked Li Youdao, "You also recommended the main department?" ”

Also? Li You thought the word was weird. Could it be that the edict in Yang Futai's hand is not the same as the one in his hand? . Today, I didn't want to continue to ask for votes for two more, but I was unlucky enough to meet the Kavin period, Towel. I was a little tired, so I had to change it. But I hope you don't dislike it and continue to vote for it! Tomorrow I will try my best to book a monthly pass first! [This text is provided by Qihang]
