PS: The network was down last night, and I didn't have time to update, so hurry up and make up for it now. Ask for a commuter pass!

"So, if you want to enter Beijing and become a Beijing official, you have to do something that can alarm the heavens." Yang He said with a smile: "And Funing County's letting the gentry pay for grain is something that can alarm the heavens." ”

Zhang Fengqi smiled bitterly: "What if you alarm the heavens?" I have offended the gentry class, how can those officials of the court make me feel better? ”

Yang He smiled: "Brother Longchuan, I remember you said before that the emperor still has the final say in the Ming Dynasty, right?" ”

Zhang Fengqi nodded slightly.

"Isn't that the end of it? In the end, it is the emperor who has the final say in the promotion of officials. Then let me ask you, what is the emperor's most worrying thing now? Yang He smiled.

"The treasury has no money." Zhang Fengqi said.

Yang He smiled and said: "Yes, the treasury has no money, and you can make the gentry pay grain and receive taxes from the merchants, what do you say the emperor will think of you when he hears such news?" Even if all the officials are against you, I am afraid that the emperor will not hesitate to use you. What's more, there are still some officials in the court who act according to the emperor's eyes, how can all the officials oppose you? ”

"I see." Zhang Fengqi said suddenly.

"Then do you think it's no good for us to let the gentry pay for food? As long as you can hug the emperor's thighs, what is it if you offend a few people. Yang He smiled.

Zhang Fengqi laughed: "What you said makes sense. ”

After analyzing the pros and cons of letting the gentry pay grain and levying commercial taxes with Zhang Fengqi, Yang He didn't say much, came out of the county office, found Xu Guangqi's personal soldiers, and escorted the sweet potatoes transported back from Tongzhou to Xiayanghe Township.

Yang He believes that Zhang Fengqi can measure what kind of benefits the gentry will bring to him by collecting the grain and levying the commercial tax, and of course there must be risks. But in officialdom, I don't want to take a little political risk. still wants to rise to the top, it's completely a fool's dream.

Yang He believes that Zhang Fengqi can make accurate judgments.

Do your best to push Zhang Fengqi up, this is the goal set by Yang He.

Only when Zhang Fengqi goes up, can Yang He be taken care of in the court.

Although Yang He and Liu Qi also know each other, Liu Qiyuan is more powerful than Zhang Fengqi in terms of the right to speak in the imperial court. But Yang He and Liu Qi have no entanglement of interests. There is no entanglement of interests, which means that Yang He cannot control Liu Qi.

And Zhang Fengqi is different, Yang He knows everything Zhang Fengqi does, and he also participates, that is, if Zhang Fengqi wants to be safe, he has to do his best to help Yang He, in other words, if Yang He wants Zhang Fengqi to fall, Zhang Fengqi will fall at any time.

Sighed softly. Yang He found that he began to change from a soldier to a politician at some point.

During this time, most of Yang He's mind was on the distribution of power above the court in the future, although he did not personally participate, but he used almost everyone who could use it, in order to get a piece of the cake of power when the court reshuffled.

After Yang He left, Zhang Fengqi was silently pondering.

In the past, he only guessed that the robbers who robbed Wang Yuanwai's house were Yang He's subordinates, but when Yang He finally admitted to him that those bandits were border soldiers. Although Zhang Fengqi was silent on the surface, a chill appeared in his heart.

This Yang He acted so unscrupulously. I have such a deep relationship with him, once something happens, the consequences are really unimaginable.

Zhang Fengqi pondered for a while, and found that he had no means to counter Yang He, so he could only follow Yang He step by step.

Suddenly, Zhang Fengqi found a problem, this Yang He's step by step seemed to be very casual. There doesn't seem to be any discipline in doing things, but when you connect the chess played by Yang He, you suddenly find that Yang He's layout can be described as profound, and once Yang He becomes a force, it is a force that must not be underestimated. Backed by this force. Maybe it's not just as simple as going to Beijing to be an official.

Shaking his head, Zhang Fengqi sighed, it seems that now he can only go all out to help Yang He, only if Yang He does not have an accident, he can be this official in peace.

Calculating the time, there is less than a month before this year's college examination will start, and I have to hurry up to help Yang He donate the prisoners.

didn't have to think about it, Zhang Fengqi hurriedly ordered his staff to spread paper and ink, and then wrote a letter to a person in Beijing in the same year. After writing the letter, Zhang Fengqi called the housekeeper and asked him to ask his wife to get 1,000 taels of silver, and then take someone into Beijing to give the silver and the letter to him in the same year.

Although Zhang Fengqi's grade in the same year was not high, he could still do such a thing as a supervisor, and with a thousand taels of silver to make a relationship, there was no problem in buying an official position as a scholar.

A few days after Zhang Fengqi sent people to Beijing to deliver the letter, the Emperor of the Apocalypse issued an edict appointing the first assistant of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, the scholar of the military department, the scholar Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the household department Wang Yingjiao, the secretary of the criminal department Wang Ji, the imperial history Zou Yuanbiao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites Qian Xiangkun, the right attendant of the military department Zhang Jingshi, and the left Tongzheng Yuan Keli to read the official court to test the world's tribute.

Soon after the edict was issued, the examiners' homes were full of customers, and the examiners closed their doors to avoid suspicion.

Although it is closed, some people can still be seen.

For example, Xu Guangqi wants to see Yuan Keli.

Xu Guangqi and Yuan Keli got to know each other thanks to his mentor Jiao Hong, Jiao Hong was the champion of Wanli in the seventeenth year, and Yuan Keli was the same year.

During Jiao Hong's serious illness, he recommended Xu Guangqi to Yuan Keli.

After meeting Xu Guangqi, Xu Guangqi's talent was appreciated by Yuan Keli, and the two became friends.

(Note: Yuan Keli is not passed down in the history of the Ming Dynasty, so later generations do not know much about him, but if you summarize the life information of Yuan Keli, you can know that this person was an outstanding politician and military strategist in the late Ming Dynasty.)

At the strategic level, only Sun Chengzong may be able to compete with Yuan Keli, and in terms of combat performance, Sun Chengzong is far behind.

From the perspective of employing people, Yuan Keli has also been better than Sun Chengzong, Sun Chengzong reuses Yuan Chonghuan, and Yuan Chonghuan is narrow-minded, no strategic vision at all, Yuan Keli tried his best to support Mao Wenlong to gain a firm foothold behind Houjin, but in the end Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, so that Jin has no worries and can use all his strength against the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why Yuan Keli was not biography in the history of the Ming Dynasty was because Yuan Keli beat the Manchus too hard. There are too many people lost by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in Yuan Keli's tenure as governor of Denglai, he repeatedly recovered the lost territory in Liaodong, and basically the Denglai army was fighting around the Manchu troops stationed in southern Liaoning, and the Manchus did not taste a victory in the hands of Yuan Keli.

Huang Daozhou, a student of Yuan Keli, said in the biography of Yuan Gong, a festival commemorating Yuan Keli: "...... Gong went to Denglai for several years, and Denglai was defeated...... I went for more than ten years. And the DPRK fell. ”

In the end of the Qing Dynasty, the entire historical circle has always been very jealous of Yuan Keli, and the biographical and historical materials involved have been deleted, so that the important figures in the history of the Ming and Qing wars, Yuan Keli, Mao Wenlong and Liu Aita have no biographies in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Yuan Keli had plotted against Nurhachi's in-law Liu Aita to make the situation of the Later Jin in Liaohai suffer a heavy setback, a large number of Han officials and puppet generals were killed due to the suspicion of the captives, and the coastal 400 miles of sea frontier was recaptured to the Ming Dynasty without a fight, becoming a famous example of anti-intrigue warfare in the history of Ming and Qing wars.

During the Qianlong period, Lu Shihua's calligraphy and painting work "Records of Calligraphy and Painting Seen by Wu Yue" was abridged beyond recognition because it contained Dong Qichang's "Jiehuan Yuan Gongxing", which involved Yuan Keli's deeds and was almost destroyed and killed.

This is still 144 years after Yuan Keli's death.

Because a large amount of information about Yuan Keli's deeds was obliterated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, later generations could only find information about Yuan Keli's life and friends from the biographical materials of Yuan Keli's students and friends, as well as the commemorative articles written by these people. For example, Kong Zhenyun's "Ming Senior Doctor Zhengzhi Shangqing Military Department Shangshu Festival Yuan Gong Tomb Epitaph", Wang Duo's "Prince Shaobao Military Department Shangshu Festival Huan Yuan Gong Shendao Monument", Wang Duo "Bingbu Shangshu Festival Huan Yuan Duchess Song Lines", Gao Panlong "Answer Yuan Jiehuan Zhongcheng", Ni Yuanlu "Yuan Jiehuan Da Sima Portrait Praise", Yuan Fucheng "Suiyang Yuan Family Tree. Yuan Keli" and so on. ）

At this moment, Xu Guangqi was sitting in Yuan Keli's study.

Yuan Keli and Xu Guangqi are the same age, they are both sixty years old this year, Xu Guangqi was born one day earlier than Yuan Keli, but Zhongjinshi is more than ten years later than Yuan Keli, and he can only be regarded as a post-graduate in front of Yuan Keli.

However, Yuan Keli admires Xu Guangqi's knowledge very much, and the strategic vision of the two is relatively similar, so Yuan Keli does not regard Xu Guangqi as a junior. The two are equals.

Taking out a letter from his arms, Xu Guangqi handed it to Yuan Keli and said, "Brother Liqing, please take a look." ”

Yuan Keli didn't say much. I opened the letter and looked at it carefully.

After reading it, Yuan Keli closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then suddenly raised his head: "Brother Zixian, who gave you this advice?" ”

Xu Guangqi smiled and said, "Brother Liqing, can you tell me about this person's strategic vision first?" ”

Yuan Keli said: "This person has a unique strategic vision, if he acts accordingly." It can be said to be directly aimed at the key point of construction. Who is this man? ”

"Hehe, my new student." Xu Guangqi said with a smile.

"Your new student? Why didn't you say anything last time? Yuan Keliqi said.

Xu Guangqi smiled: "I only received it a few days ago, how about it?" Does Brother Liqing have the intention of helping? ”

Yuan Keli said with a smile: "With such a talent, how can there be no reason not to bring it up?" What is this person's name? Where is it now? Call me to see you. ”

Xu Guangqi shook his head and smiled: "This person's name is Yang He, and the word should be timely." No. Wentian, now in Funing County, is the chief soldier of the regimental training, and he used to be the general manager of Luo's personal guard battalion, but he has not been officially appointed by the Ministry of War. ”

"Funing County Regiment Training Commander? So how do you know him? Yuan Keliqi said.

Xu Guangqi immediately told Yang He about coming to Tongzhou to buy sweet potatoes for himself.

Then Xu Guangqi said: "Brother Liqing, I won't hide it from you, this Yang He just started to read and write, and he didn't have any fame, he told me that he was going to donate a prisoner, and then donate a scholar." ”

Yuan Keli pondered and asked: "The reputation of donating prison is not good, even if he donates the official position of a scholar again, he will not have any future in the future." By the way, how old is this man? ”

"Twenty-five years old, at this age just started to study, let him start from scratch to gain fame, and when he is promoted, I don't know what year or month. Brother Liqing, I don't want this person to waste time for fame. Xu Guangqi said.

Yuan Keli nodded: "If such a talent wastes time for fame, it is indeed a disappointing talent, but I don't understand, why does he donate to prison, can't he make meritorious contributions on the battlefield?" ”

"Brother Liqing, look at Yang He's strategic layout, can this be implemented by a martial artist?" Xu Guangqi said with a smile.

Yuan Keli nodded: "Brother Zixian, I understand what you mean, you want me to pull him out of the prison, right?" ”

Xu Guangqi said: "I know that Brother Liqing is an upright official, but this Yang He is really a rare talent, if such a talent is buried because of the imperial examination, Brother Liqing, I am ...... Ming."

Yuan Keli waved his hand to stop Xu Guangqi's words: "Brother Zixian, there is no need to say any more, you let Yang He know him, and say that I want to see him." ”

Xu Guangqi was overjoyed: "Thank you, brother Zixian." ”

Yuan Keli shook his head: "It is the duty of my generation to raise talents for the country." ”

Xu Guangqi nodded, summoned his entourage, and ordered him to hurry to Funing County and inform Yang He to enter Beijing immediately. (To be continued......)
