In August of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the holy decree arrived in Yan'an Mansion, Yang Tingshu served as the young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, and Wen Zhenheng of Zhongshu House served as the prefect of Yan'an Mansion.

These two appointments and adjustments, out of everyone's expectations, although the local prefect is the official rank of the fourth grade, but the difficulty of adjustment is very great, the best way out is to enter the political envoy department, become the left and right senator from the third grade, but there are too few people who can have such a way out, if you enter the capital, it is possible to become the Langzhong of the sixth department, maintain the official rank of the fourth grade, and be the official of the fifth grade, which is also good, but Yang Tingshu's adjustment is different, not only to return to the capital, but also to become the fourth grade of the young Zhan Shi, This is almost impossible, and everyone can only understand that Yang Tingshu was originally a palace temptation flower, and he came to Yan'an Mansion to serve as the prefect, but it was only gilded.

Wen Zhenheng's appointment as the prefect of Yan'an Mansion also makes everyone wonder, although Wen Zhenheng is a Beijing official, his qualifications are also very good, he is close to fifty years old, but after all, he is not a Jinshi, and being able to serve as a local prefect is obviously reused, of course, everyone also knows the relationship between Wen Zhenheng and Zheng Xunrui, and it is understandable for such an appointment.

After the announcement of the holy decree, Yang Tingshu and Wen Zhenheng made a simple handover, and left Yan'an Mansion the next day and rushed to the capital.

After Wen Zhenheng took office, it took half a month to get acquainted with the situation in Yan'an Mansion, he was already forty-nine years old, if it wasn't for this opportunity, maybe he would have been in the position of the Zhongshu Sheren, and it was also unexpected for him to be able to serve as the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, but with his feelings, he knew that this matter must have something to do with Zheng Xunrui.

Although Wen Zhenmeng is an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, it is impossible to propose such a setback, after all, it is necessary to avoid suspicion, and the only one who can recommend it is Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet, Xu Guangqi is Zheng Xunrui's mentor.

Wen Zhenheng is old, he has experienced too many things, after a simple analysis, he knows the mystery, it should be said that Yang Tingshu is going to adjust, Zheng Xunrui knows, and must have proposed to his teacher the candidate to succeed the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, Xu Guangqi recommended the candidate, Wen Tiren, who has just taken office, will never object, and it is just a candidate for the prefect, not a key position, Wen Tiren will not care.

Before coming to Yan'an Mansion, Wen Zhenheng went to meet his eldest brother Wen Zhenmeng, after Wen Zhenmeng became an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, there were many things, and there were many people who visited, Wen Zhenheng rarely went to trouble, but this time he was appointed as the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, and Zheng Xunrui worked together, so he needed to grasp some information.

Wen Zhenheng and Wen Zhenmeng talked for most of the night, and Wen Zhenheng rested in the eldest brother's mansion that night.

In late August, Wen Zhenheng came to Yansui Town to meet Zheng Xunrui.

Although it is said that both of them are official ranks of the fourth grade, but the meaning is different, Zheng Xunrui is the identity of the imperial history of Zuo Du, and concurrently serves as the governor of Yansui, which is to govern Qingyang Mansion and Yulin Border Town of Yan'an Prefecture on behalf of the imperial court, Wen Zhenheng, who is the prefect of Yan'an Prefecture, is a standard subordinate and must obey the arrangement of the governor's yamen.

This visit seems to be a courtesy visit, but in fact, it is far from it, Wen Zhenheng has been prepared for a long time.

Coming to the governor's yamen, Wen Zhenheng and Zheng Xunrui entered the wing, Zheng Xunrui instructed the officials, no one should disturb him, if anyone came to do something, come back another day.

"Qingyang, I am the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, thanks to your recommendation, I know everything, you can rest assured, I will definitely be able to govern Yan'an Mansion well, and I will not cause you trouble."

"The third master served as the prefect of Yan'an Mansion, it is indeed what I meant, Yan'an Mansion has experienced too many twists and turns, and there can be no turmoil, if the people who are sent here, they don't know anything, and they always want to do something, it may backfire, I don't want to see such a situation, so I recommended the third master."

"Don't talk about this matter, before coming to Yan'an Mansion, I discussed a lot of things with my eldest brother, the changes in the court are very big, Lord Zhou's resignation and return, it should be said that it has caused a lot of shocks in the court, and Lord Xu's health is getting worse and worse, I heard that he is already bedridden and unable to move, and the cabinet assistants are basically biased towards Lord Wen, and the eldest brother does not rely on any side, almost none."

When he said this, Wen Zhenheng's expression was a little grim.

Zheng Xunrui smiled and spoke.

"The third master is worried about the master, if there is any accident with the teacher, the master feels lonely in the cabinet, and he can't get any support, and he is likely to be squeezed out by Lord Wen, so he doesn't know how to choose now."

"Qingyang, how could you think of such a thing, I really haven't seen it yet."

Wen Zhenheng stared at Zheng Xunrui for a while, thinking that Zheng Xunrui came to Shaanxi, and basically wouldn't care about the affairs in the imperial court, not to mention the situation in Yansui, it is so complicated, it takes a lot of attention, and it is impossible to take care of other things, but Zheng Xunrui actually said the key when he opened his mouth.

"The matter of the master involves me, and it is impossible for me not to care about it."

"Well, what's your opinion."

"The master will never be able to take refuge in Lord Wen, if he really takes refuge in Lord Wen, he will be ostracized immediately."

"Why do you say that?"

Zheng Xunrui hesitated, he had to explain, but the reason for explaining it involved the emperor and the imperial power, but if he didn't explain, it would be arbitrary and capricious.

After being silent for a while, Zheng Xunrui finally spoke.

"I don't think the emperor will want to see the cabinet monolithic situation, when Chongzhen was four years old, the contradiction between Lord Zhou and Lord Wen was revealed, why did the emperor always tolerate it, let this situation last for more than two years, the teacher has long been unwell, can not go to the court, the emperor has always been unwilling to be a teacher, there is a meaning of relying on the teacher, but it is also because the teacher is loyal and does not participate in the party struggle."

Wen Zhenheng really felt shocked at this time, he felt that many of the things he was going to say later were superfluous, in fact, Zheng Xunrui understood this.

"Qingyang, there is some truth in what you said, the emperor's heart is not something we can figure out at will as courtiers, but sometimes we really need to know the mystery, otherwise the wrong choice will have too much impact."

"What the third master said is that I still expect that if the teacher insists on resigning, then the second assistant of the cabinet is likely to be the master, and the emperor will definitely arrange it like this."

A smile appeared on Wen Zhenheng's face.

"Qingyang, your ability is not ordinary, when I was in the capital, I heard that you exterminated the Liukou one after another, and some didn't believe it, thinking that there must be a master around you, and then I heard the eldest brother say, it is indeed you who commanded the battle alone, I was surprised at that time, I just heard your words, I don't know what to say, in fact, the eldest brother and I have this kind of analysis, but the things we have experienced are different, the years are even different, in the court for many years, only to realize these truths, your young age, It's really not easy to know so many things. ”

"The third master praised it, in fact, I also speculated according to common sense, there are so many things in the court, anyone needs to analyze, the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, I am far away from the capital, but I can calmly analyze, if I am in it, I may not be able to make these judgments."

"Qingyang, you don't have to be modest, the eldest brother and I see you becoming more and more mature, happy in my heart, a few days ago, the emperor mentioned Yao Ximeng, thinking about letting Yao Ximeng return to the capital, this matter was persuaded by the eldest brother, the eldest brother thinks that Yao Ximeng stayed in Nanjing, presiding over the Nanjing Guozijian, is the best arrangement, it is not appropriate to return to the capital, Yao Ximeng is too stubborn, a lot of understanding, once formed, will not change, this makes the eldest brother a headache, although the relationship between the eldest brother and Yao Ximeng is not ordinary, but for you, The eldest brother still made a decision. ”

This incident made Zheng Xunrui feel relieved, Wen Zhenmeng's understanding has finally changed qualitatively, which is not a simple answer.

"Big brother predicts that Lord Wen will definitely contact you secretly, I hope you can make a choice, you have shown your ability and have attracted the attention of the imperial court, presumably Lord Wen will definitely want to win you over, big brother hopes that you can grasp it well."

Zheng Xunrui stood up and picked up a letter from the table.

"Third Master, Master Wen's letter has arrived, written as a teacher."

Wen Zhenheng's face turned a little pale, took the letter, and looked at it carefully.

There was nothing in the letter, nothing more than some words of encouragement and praise, and it was not easy for the head of the cabinet to be able to say such words to a four-grade governor.

"Qingyang, how are you going to deal with it."

"I think it's very simple, since it's an exchange between teachers and students, it's purely an academic exchange, I haven't forgotten to read, and I just have some difficult questions, ask Master Wen."

Wen Zhenheng was slightly stunned for a moment, and laughed.

"Qingyang, you are really powerful, such a response, impeccable, but I still have to remind you that Lord Wen's ability is not ordinary, he squeezed out Lord Zhou and became the first assistant of the cabinet, although there is Lord Xu and the eldest brother to protect you, but if you want to be promoted, I am afraid that it will be very difficult, and I don't know how long you will have to hold on to the position of governor of Yansui."

"There's no problem with this, I'm still young, I've been ready for a long time, by the way, the third master will try Manshan's craftsmanship later, I heard that the third master is here, Manshan cooks and cooks, and specially entertains the third master."

"Okay, then I'm going to stay for a few days, see how Mansan is doing, if not, I'll complain."
