"Whether you stay in Chang'an or not, Yuan Xian must go to Dengzhou to take office"

Although he was surprised, Li Linfu still cut gold and cut the iron tunnel.

This is his bottom line, Fumeng Lingcha can not go to Liaodong, but Yuanxian must go to Dengzhou. At this time, Li Linfu was extremely uneasy about Ye Chang, although the political alliance between the two sides had not completely broken, it was no longer as seamless as it was at the beginning. Liaodong is not only Ye Chang's retreat, but also a retreat created by Li Linfu for his family, since Ye Chang has become less reliable, he naturally wants to let reliable people be in that position.

Originally, the most suitable person was his own son, niece and son-in-law, but Li Linfu was reluctant to leave Chang'an, so Yuan Xian, who was demoted for some reason, was the most suitable candidate.

Ye Chang twisted his eyebrows slightly: "Then the Yuan Highway must enter Beijing."

"Into Beijing?" The second thing that Li Linfu didn't expect came.

Ye Chang just made a gesture of protecting Dengzhou, but it was just a gesture, Li Linfu was limited by the vision of this era, and regarded Dengzhou as the throat of Liaodong, but Ye Chang himself knew that Dengzhou Port was only one of the closest ports to Lushun, there was no Dengzhou, and Laizhou, or Yu Crisp was the port of Tianjin in later generations.

Li Linfu only said that Dengzhou could choke Liaodong's throat, but he never thought that the improved new sea ships would be better than the past in terms of wind and wave resistance and long-sea navigation ability, and if it wasn't troublesome, Ye Chang could even go to Quanzhou to trade.

With the position of the chief official of Dengzhou, in exchange for the entry of Yuan Highway into the center, although it is impossible to immediately become a high-ranking official such as Liubu Shangshu, Shilang or Jiuqing, there is still a very suitable position, and Ye Chang has already taken aim

Counseling doctors on the five products.

Yuan Highway can stay in this position for half a year to a year, and then think of opening up the joints and becoming the deputy minister of a real department in the center, and then the chief official. After Li Linfu stepped down, he was qualified to ask for a book, and even became the prime minister.

Pushing out Yuan Highway to act as his spokesperson in the center, Ye Chang had many considerations. After Li Yong's incident, Yuan Highway and him became complete political allies, and in the past two years or so, the two sides have cooperated very tacitly. If it weren't for that, Li Linfu wouldn't have thought of moving the Yuan Highway from Dengzhou. That being the case, there are at least three advantages to striving for a better official position for Yuan Highway: first, to continue to consolidate the political alliance between the two sides; the second is to form a demonstration effect, so that Zhang Hao, Cen Shen, Gao Shi, Wang Changling and other low-level officials who have a good relationship with Ye Chang realize that they don't have to worry about the future by following Ye Chang; The third is that there is an agent in the center, so there is no need to worry about something wrong in the center like this time, but there is no backbone who takes the lead in defending Ye Chang's interests.

"There are no vacancies in Beijing." Li Linfu said.

"If there is no vacancy, why did the sage issue an edict to order those who have mastered more than one of the six arts to enter Beijing for interpretation?" Ye Chang pressed forward step by step.

"This ...... It does not conform to the imperial court system. ”

"Li Gong's words are wrong, that is, in terms of the imperial court system, Yuan Highway is in charge of Dengzhou, and it is now the third year, and the performance appraisals have been on the top every year before, so why is it inconsistent to promote him to Beijing?" Ye Chang snorted: "Yuan Xian treats the guilty body, is the head of the Handong household, and was suddenly promoted to the chief official of Dengzhou, what kind of court system is this?" ”

Li Linfu tapped his fingers on the desk, feeling quite uncomfortable with the atmosphere in the Moon Hall today.

Ye Chang threw away all the veils of warmth and affection, and brought forward the exchange of interests nakedly, even if Li Linfu was regarded as a traitor, he felt very uncomfortable.

After a while, he said: "Yuan Xian's performance appraisal in the next three years must also be top."

Without the support of Liaodong, it is impossible for Yuan Highway's performance appraisal to be promoted for two consecutive years, and Li Linfu put forward this condition to ask Ye Chang to support Yuan Xian as much as he supported Yuan Highway. Of course, this is impossible, although the relationship between the two sides cannot be said to be in flames of water now, Ye Chang will not help Li Linfu's cronies to sell their reputation, unless Li Linfu comes up with more benefits in exchange.

Therefore, Ye Chang said without hesitation: "Yuan Highway is a squire. ”

"It's so overpowered, why can't it block the mouth of the world?"

"Yuan Xian must not change the policy of the Yuan Highway, and must not cut off the merchant ships between Liaodong and Dengzhou, and must give full support to immigrants." Ye Chang stretched out his finger: "Yuan Highway is the Shaoyin of Jingzhao Mansion." ”

"It's okay to go ahead, but it's not okay to be the only one on the road."

Li Linfu felt a little tired, he bargained with Ye Chang for too long, and every time Ye Chang mentioned a condition, he had to ponder it repeatedly to see if there was any conspiracy hidden in the conditions. And every time he mentions a condition, he also has to think about it repeatedly, not only to be able to win the greatest benefits for himself, but also to be able to be at Ye Chang's bottom line

Hearing his words, Ye Chang retreated and asked for the second: "I can't get an official position from the fourth grade, so it can't be lower than the fifth grade, how about the Wannian Order or the Chang'an Order?" ”

"Eleven Lang, it doesn't make sense for you to say that, these are important positions, and now they are not missing"

"That imperial history Zhongcheng, there are no defects, and it is not in the same thought"

Li Linfu's brows twisted suddenly, if he becomes the middle of the imperial history, he can go straight to the prime minister, and the imperial history platform is so important, how can Ye Chang be able to intervene in people

But if it drags on like this, it is not a way, as Ye Chang said, since the Yuan Highway has been promoted to the center, then it should not be lower than the positive five grades. Thinking of this, Li Linfu sighed: "Consult the doctor." ”

Ye Chang pretended to hesitate, and after a while, he nodded and said, "That's the counselor." ”

The counselor is the same as the imperial historian, and it is also an official position with the right to discuss. Li Linfu pondered in his heart, now that the officials of the two places in Taiwan have coerced and intimidated him, he trembled and did not dare to say anything, and it was useless to set up a yuan highway to go. Moreover, Ye Chang can arrange this position for Yuan Highway, if Yuan Highway talks nonsense at that time, he will instruct someone to impeach and remove him.

He was getting old and his energy was gradually declining, so he was unwilling to entangle with Ye Chang on this issue, and said at the moment: "The old man will not stop this matter." ”

If you don't block this matter, you won't come forward to help Yuan Highway fight for this position. Ye Chang nodded slightly, and the two sides reached a deal.

Speaking of this, Li Linfu sent it off and said "send off".

Ye Chang got up and walked without stopping for a moment. Seeing that he was so unhesitating, a cold light flashed in Li Linfu's eyes, and a thought secretly arose.

But just before Ye Chang wanted to go out, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Li Linfu, almost opposite Li Linfu's murderous eyes. Li Linfu stood up with a spring breeze on his face at this time, as if he was going to send Ye Chang out.

"Li Xianggong, the moon will be full and it will be lost, and the sun will be in the middle of the day, this truth, I don't need to say it. Since the accession of the saint today, Li Xianggong has been the longest time, and now the prime minister is in power, the world is looking sideways, and the minions lurking to wait for the opportunity do not know how many people can do something about the pain and hatred, and I don't know where the villain is slandering, intending to destroy the good of the two families...... Every time I think about this, I can't help but sigh. ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Chang really sighed and sighed. Li Linfu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his brows suddenly tightened.

Ye Chang walked out of the Moon Hall, but Li Linfu sat back in his place and began to think about Ye Chang's words when he was leaving.

These words are to sow discord, which Li Linfu saw through at a glance, but this is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy, because Li Linfu can't help but think deeply, he was originally extremely optimistic about Ye Chang, and he reached out to Ye Chang when he needed help the most, why did the relationship between the two come to the point where it is now?

Ye Chang pointed out that there was a villain who entered the slander in front of him, and after thinking about it carefully, although Ye Changren went to Liaodong, he never lost money in terms of etiquette, and almost every two months, there were letters to come here to report some matters in Liaodong, and also gave generous gifts. In the past year alone, the value of the gifts he received from Ye Chang should be more than 20,000 yuan

is to the empty mother, he seems to be affectionate, and the letters are frequent. Li Linfu naturally wouldn't be bored enough to peek at the letter Ye Chang wrote with his daughter, but every time he saw his daughter's expression after receiving the letter, Li Linfu would also feel gratified.

Perhaps it was precisely because he realized the significance of Ye Chang to his family that he made all kinds of arrangements for Ye Chang after learning that Yang Wei was not invited by Ye Changzhi to explore the situation. Now, although with these arrangements, Ye Chang was forced to make concessions and obtain a lot of benefits, but it damaged the trust of the two families. It's hard to say whether this is a gain or a loss.

Ye Chang's sentence when he left after the most was to break this matter and let him find the trouble of the villain who was slandering

Li Linfu's eyes flashed and he smiled faintly.

What did he do wrong...... It is impossible to become a pawn for a child like Ye Chang, this child is a little tender after all

Out of the Moon Hall, Lu Qi greeted him, saluted Ye Chang, and said with a smile: "Ye Sima, please go this way." ”

It was not surprising that he appeared Ye Chang, this guy has always been in Ye Chang's attention, since he took refuge in Li Linfu's camp, he simply regarded himself as Li Linfu's domestic servant. And Li Linfu also trusted him, reminded him a lot, and even arranged a position for Lu Qi in the household department.

What Lu Qi attached to Li Shizhi but didn't get at the beginning, he had already obtained it on Li Linfu's side.

"Long time no see." Ye Chang bowed to him lightly.

Lu Qi said with a smile: "Soon, soon, when Ye Sima left yesterday, a certain happened to come and saw Ye Sima's back. ”

The two of them walked out of the gate of the Li Mansion while making noise, and when they said goodbye to each other, Ye Chang straightened up, and suddenly heard Lu Qi whisper: "Yang Qixuan." ”

Ye Chang was stunned for a moment, looked around, but did not see Yang Qixuan.

He was familiar with the situation of Li Linfu's family, and knew that Yang Qixuan was the son-in-law personally selected by Li Linfu, and now he was in the position of a counselor. What is Lu Qi's intention in mentioning this person inexplicably?

When he was about to ask, he found that Lu Qi had already turned around and re-entered the gate of the Li Mansion.

Ye Chang couldn't see the expression on Lu Qi's face, this originally ugly face was even a little distorted at this time.

"Ye Shiyi is hateful, but he has never laughed at me because of my face, and I have a bad relationship with Ye Shiyi, because I want to embarrass him Yang Qixuan is just a villain who is attached to the Yue family and gets a beautiful official, and he dares to slander in front of Li Gong, and wants to chase me away...... Let these two people fight each other, whoever dies and who lives, they all take advantage of my will"

Lu Qi is ugly, although he claims to be alert and smart, but he also knows that if there is no chance, it is extremely difficult for him to obtain a high-ranking official and a lord, not to mention anything else, it is very difficult to take the Jinshi examination, because at this time, in addition to the examination results, the appearance of the imperial examination also depends on the appearance. For him, taking refuge in Li Linfu is the biggest opportunity, Yang Qi insulted him and despised him, he could temporarily write it down secretly and bear it, but trying to slander him in front of Li Linfu was to cut off his future, and he absolutely couldn't bear it

Ye Chang didn't know what Lu Qi was thinking, so he just secretly wrote down the matter.

When he returned to his house, he saw a lot of people at the door, and when he came back, they all hugged him and greeted: "Ye Sima is back"

"The villain has seen Ye Sima"

There was a sudden commotion around, and Ye Chang, who was originally thinking about things quietly, was also so troubled by them that he couldn't think about it. Hearing them shouting, it turned out to be the servants of some families in the capital, either to send off the name or to greet them.

Before yesterday, the front of this Ye house was still deserted, but now, it is lively like this. Ye Chang made a gesture, and after dealing with these people with a smile on his face, he was no less tired than facing Li Linfu.

But this is also human nature, behind these people, there are probably those nobles who exerted pressure to transfer Long Wujun away. They came forward, not only to show grace, but also to take a stand.

Entering the door, Ye Chang was stunned again, there were a bunch of people outside, but he never thought that there were also a bunch of people inside.

One of them, about forty years old, smiled and gave him his hand: "Even if the virtuous brother enters Chang'an, he will not send a letter, so that the foolish brother will be prepared, so that this incident will be born."

"Brother Yang is here"

Seeing that it was Yang Zhao, Ye Chang's brows trembled slightly, and he secretly sneered in his heart.

He didn't have anything to say about Yang Zhao, Yang Zhao was also righteous in the past, and gave him a lot of convenience. But this time, it was very disappointing for him.

With Yang Zhao's current status in front of Li Linfu, Ye Chang didn't believe it, he had no news at all. He was silent, this kind of temperament, obviously, Yang Zhao, who used to be quite righteous, has changed after two years of being a high-ranking official.

was dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, on the contrary, Ye Chang seemed more enthusiastic than before, stepped forward and grabbed Yang Zhao's arm and shook his head: "Speaking of which, I was rude to my junior brother, and I didn't send anyone to inform my brother...... Hey, this Lang Jun looks extraordinary, I don't know who it is? ”

"This is the dog Yang Xuan...... Xuan'er, come and see your uncle. Yang Zhao commanded with a smile.

That Yang Xuan was no younger than Ye Chang, and when he heard the words, he bowed slowly, but Ye Chang pulled him up: "No, let's make friends separately, why be so polite?" ”

Yang Xuan stood up, Yang Zhao glared at him, but he didn't know. Yang Zhao knew that he had been pampered in the past two years, and his son was also proud, and he could only stare at it again when he didn't teach Ye Chang a good lesson.

"I'm late, my brother is suffering." The hustle and bustle is over, and Yang Zhao is to the point.
