Chapter 25 Vertical and Horizontal

A sprinkling letter was written, Xu Boyi changed his draft, and wrote his original intention and the meaning of his decision to implement the policy of changing names and surnames in Huxian County, he didn't need to write naked and too straightforward, and the meaning of the emperor's majesty and Weijia world has been expressed between the lines, as long as the emperor is not illiterate, he must understand, and the Wanli Emperor is certainly not illiterate.

With Xu Boyi's literary level, although it is the first time to write a recital, but the specifications and format have long been known in mind, and there is no need to change it so many times, one of the important reasons why it has changed its draft several times is: although theoretically as long as the officials appointed by the emperor are qualified to enter the emperor, but the example of a small county directly writing to the emperor has been very rare since ancient times.

What reason is there for a petty official to bypass so many superiors and ask the emperor directly for questions? This is also a taboo in officialdom, not to mention that Xu Boyi is not the chief official of a county, but a second official, which is even more taboo. Therefore, the first thing Xu Boyi needs to confirm is: whether he wants to co-sign with Hua Qingfeng.

Since the purpose of the book is to invite merit, of course he will not bring Hua Qingfeng, Hua Qingfeng is the official of the seal, as long as he is brought, the first merit must be Hua Qingfeng's, how can Xu Boyi make wedding dresses for others, not to mention that this person is still his opponent now.

But in this way, Xu Boyi needs to make it clear in the recital why he doesn't know Guò Zhengyinguan. He can't unscrupulously slander Hua Qingfeng in the song, although he wants to do so, but this can only be more than worth the loss, and it will leave a bad impression on the emperor.

Fortunately, Hua Qingfeng's incompetence has long been heard of by the imperial court, so he only needs a slight hint, and the emperor and the cabinet will understand his last resort: the county magistrate is too conservative, and he has always done things without merit, but without fault. It's not that he doesn't want to join hands with the magistrate, but the magistrate is too bold.

Next, he has to determine one more thing: whether to bring Wang Ning with him.

This thing. From beginning to end, he hid it from everyone, and now it's time to see the real chapter, bringing Wang Ning has two advantages, their alliance relationship can be more stable, and both of them can be promoted, but the disadvantages are also obvious: if someone shares the merits, it will inevitably weaken his merits.

What's more, although he and Wang Ning are allies. But they are all subordinates of the Tian family, and there is still internal competition, so leaving Wang Ning aside is the right choice for him to maximize his interests. But this time, he has to bear the success or failure, what if he fails?

This is the main reason why Xu Boyi is entangled, so a draft of the Song Shu Jiuyi was finally made at this moment. Xu Boyi took a deep breath. He decided, he wanted to give it a go, and he solemnly signed his name on the song: Xu Boyi, the county of Chenhu County!

Xu Boyi did not go to the post station to write a book, and he was already wary of Zhao Wenyuan's seemingly harmless post master. However, some time ago, he stayed on the post road every day, and he did get acquainted with a few people among the generals of the Ming army who escorted the military to and fro, and it was not difficult to bypass the post station to pass the military to the book.

Now all he needed to do was wait. In this waiting process, he had to endure Ye Xiaotian's arrogance, but what did it matter? The one who has the last laugh. is the ultimate winner! It must be him who has the last laugh!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ye Xiaotian was laughing at this time, a guest came to the door, how could anyone who was the host put on a bitter gourd face. Ye Xiaotian smiled at Zhao Yicheng and said: "Brother Zhao, the little brother has not been in Huxian County for these days, and he has been taken care of by the Xian couple from afar, I am really grateful." ”

Zhao Wenyuan said: "Brother Xian is polite, you and I are both the same year and officials in the same county, so we should take care of each other!" What's more, although Humble Jing and Ling Mei are much different in age, they have very similar temperaments, which can be regarded as a pair of year-old friends, which is rare. ”

Ye Xiaotian glanced out the window, in the courtyard, Zhan Ning'er and Duo Ni were talking with Qian Qingqing under the tree, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. The three girls are all beauties, one is slim, one is petite and exquisite, and the other is bumpy and convex, which is really pleasing to the eye.

Haruka, with an umbrella, cautiously approached the fountain that would play tricks, and as soon as the intermittent fountain gushed out, she giggled and ran away, although her clothes were splashed with a lot because she couldn't dodge, but she was in high spirits.

Ye Xiaotian smiled slightly, looked back at Zhao Wenyuan and said, "Yes, you and I are both the same year and colleagues, so we should take care of each other." Therefore, there is one thing, the younger brother has to explain it to Brother Zhao, so as not to misunderstand the younger brother. The Chang Li Che Ma Shop has a relationship with Brother Zhao, and the younger brother knows about it. ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Wenyuan was slightly stunned, and the teacup he was playing with suddenly stopped. He came today, of course, to get in touch with Ye Xiaotian, but there was also an important thing to say for Chang Zizi. Chang Zizi attached himself to him, and paid a lot of silver every month, but now he was forced by Ye Xiaotian to have no business, so he could only survive, of course he needed to come forward.

Ye Xiaotian said sincerely: "If the junior brother said that he didn't know that Chang Zi's carriage and horse shop had something to do with Brother Zhao, then he was sincerely perfunctory Brother Zhao." But although the younger brother knew, why did he treat the car and horse shop that was always at ease the same as Xie Chuanfeng's car and horse dealership? The little brother really has other difficulties. ”

Zhao Wenyuan smiled slightly and said, "Brother Xian is so refreshing, then Brother Wei won't hide it, not bad!" Brother Fool came to the door this time, and there is indeed this reason. But I don't know what kind of hardship you have, Brother Foolish, I would like to hear about it. ”

Ye Xiaotian filled Zhao Wenyuan with a cup of tea, and said with emotion: "Brother Zhao, the little brother has been away from Huxian for a while, and Luo Li has been squeezed out of the car and horse shop, you know this." And Luo Li Gao's carriage and horse shop is the business of several little brothers of the younger brother, they are affected by the younger brother, since the younger brother is back, of course he has to give them justice. ”

Zhao Wenyuan bowed his head and said: "This is natural, it's just that the virtuous brother is not in Huxian these days, Xu County Cheng and Wang Zhushu are in charge of the overall situation, the foolish brother is just a post man, he can only protect himself, and he is powerless to fight against them at all, and he is powerless to maintain Luo Li Gaocha and Horse Travel, and this matter has nothing to do with the foolish brother......

Ye Xiaotian sighed: "Brother Zhao, the truth is naturally understood by the younger brother, but the problem is that those people under the younger brother may not understand, they only see one thing, that is, when Xu Boyi and Wang Ning were in power, the cars and horses that were always at ease were not affected in the slightest. When the younger brother was in power, the cars and horses were always at ease, could their hearts be calm? If that's the case, wouldn't it be better for them to simply throw themselves under Brother Zhao and avoid the dispute between me and Xu Boyi? The little brother can't help but consider their feelings! ”

Zhao Wenyuan understood that Ye Xiaotian was forcing him to express his position. All along, he has been in the Ye-Xu controversy with a relatively detached attitude, left and right. Now Ye Xiaotian doesn't want him to stay out of the matter.

Of course, the energy of a post is very limited, but behind Zhao Wenyuan, there is the Banzhou Yang family, and this energy is not trivial. There is no need for Zhao Wenyuan to do anything specifically, as long as he is willing to stand up, it will be enough to strengthen Ye Xiaotian's momentum, bring some neutral forces that are still waiting and seeing, and create more pressure on King Xu's faction.

"Maybe it's time to make a choice......

The teacup in Zhao Wenyuan's hand turned again, and he secretly thought to himself: "If I always stay out of things, although I can maintain a detached identity, I will never be able to integrate into it, and I can't make too much influence and interference in the government affairs of Huxian County." ”

Although the task given to him by Yang Tianwang was to ensure that there were his people on the post road. In the event of a cataclysm, he can guarantee that the post road will still be available to him in whole or in part, but who doesn't want to wield more power? Zhao Wenyuan also wants to become a pivotal political figure in Hu County.

However, standing with Ye Xiaotian? Will he be able to stand firm? Although Xu Boyi and Wang Ning suffered a dumb loss. But they can't just admit defeat, and if they succeed in fighting back, won't they have to face great pressure at that time?

Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw Zhao Wenyuan silent. took a sip of the teacup and said slowly, "Of course, I'll explain." It's just an explanation, just to let my brothers see the difference between relatives and relatives, so that they can understand that they don't suffer a loss by following their younger brother.

The oil and water on this post road are very thick, and a carriage and horse shop can't eat it, especially when there are frequent wars recently, a large amount of military capital has transited, and the transportation force of a carriage and horse company is even more stretched. ”

Zhao Wenyuan only smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, the most profitable thing on the post road at the moment is military transportation, because the post road here is dangerous and difficult, and the servants brought by the imperial court are not familiar with the terrain here, and their transportation is not only dangerous, but also extremely slow.

In order to ensure the logistical supply of the Yunnan front, the imperial court could only requisition a large number of local civilian transportation forces, and the wages paid were also several times that of ordinary times.

After this village, how can there be this shop, Chang Zizi following him is a combination of interests, can he wait, Chang Zizi can wait? If Chang Zizi switched to Ye Xiaotian's sect, the power he had just built up would be lost. Besides, when is the time to pass? This sentence is so insincere.

"King Xu and the others are the disciples of the Tian family, and sooner or later they will become enemies with me. I wanted to maintain my transcendent identity and let them fight to the death with Ye Xiaotian, but now Ye Xiaotian is forcing me to make a statement, and I have no other choice, in this case, I have a choice, get involved in the internal affairs of Hu County, I believe that Lord Tusi will not blame me! It's just that, with my current status, I can play a very limited role in the dispute between the two factions, Ye Xiaotian is trying to pull me over, what is his intention? ”

Can't guess! I really can't guess! Ye Xiaotian has always been whimsical in his work, and there are few veins to be found! If you can't guess, then don't guess, the slowly rotating wine glass in Zhao Wenyuan's hand stopped, he slowly raised his head, and said to Ye Xiaotian calmly: "If the foolish brother is on the side of the virtuous brother from now on, can you let the virtuous brother have an explanation for his subordinates?" ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled happily and said happily: "If you and I become a family, how can we divide each other again!" ”

Zhao Wenyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay!" Then we'll be a family! ”

The two touched the teacup, replaced the wine with tea, and drank it all.
