"Excuse me, gentlemen!"

Yue Yang's calm voice sounded in the crowd.

Looking at the group of officials in front of him who were wearing various complements, Yue Yang felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart, it had been four years since he came to this time and space, and with his own efforts and the support of another modern time and space, he had come from a sour show to today's position step by step.

Seeing that Yue Yang was a little distracted, everyone didn't dare to disturb him, but just stood quietly aside and waited for Hou Ye's lecture. After a long time, Yue Yang came back to his senses, and seeing that everyone was still standing respectfully around, he smiled and said to everyone: "You are all the pillars of the imperial court, how can Benhou He De get you to come to the door to congratulate you in person, it really makes Benhou panic." Ben Hou here is a little thin wine, please enjoy it! ”

Everyone bowed together: "Thank you, Master Hou!" ”

The banquet began, and because there were too many people who came to congratulate him, and Yueyang's mansion was not very large, the front yard of the entire Hou Mansion was crowded. Of course, there are also a few tables of banquets in the backyard, but not everyone can come in here, the hierarchy of Chinese officialdom has always been extremely strict, although Yue Yang did not say, but everyone consciously abides by the rules, officials from below the fourth grade are very conscious in the front yard and people share the table, only the officials above the fourth grade can enjoy the treatment of entering the backyard and drinking with the Hou Ye at the same table. Of course, those henchmen and officers who followed Yue Yang all the way were not among them, and they walked into the backyard with envy in the eyes of everyone.

In a living room in the backyard, Yue Yang sat at one table with Zheng Kui, Jiang Xin, Hu Laosan, Shun Bao, and others, while the remaining dozens of officers and officials filled the other tables.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Yue Yang raised his wine glass and said to Zheng Kui with a smile: "Lord Zheng, Ben Hou was taken care of by adults when he was still a scholar, and today it is rare for us to be far apart, and Ben Hou Jing has a glass." ”

"Thank you, thank you, for your praise." Zheng Kui hurriedly stood up and raised his wine glass and said: "Xia Guan had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai back then, but he was so lazy, how could he be toasted by Lord Hou." ”

"Haha...... Well deserved. Yue Yang waved his hand and said: "Ben Hou was almost killed by Wang Chenglin with a stick in Baihualou, and then the Wang family was still aggressive. In the end, the adult came forward and said a fair word, and the Wang family did not dare to mess around, although Lord Zheng did not say anything about it, but Ben Hou remembered it. Come to Benhou to honor you! ”

After speaking, Yue Yang drank the wine in one gulp. Seeing that Yue Yang drank this cup, Zheng Kui also hurriedly drank it all, and the two of them sat down, but at this time, Zheng Kui's heart swelled with a trace of annoyance, but he was too worried at the beginning, for fear of offending several local big merchants and gentry, so he just told the Wang family not to go too far, if he was able to help the master to the end, now he and Yue Yang will definitely not have this kind of relationship. It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to take in this world.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Zheng Kui asked with the strength of the wine: "Hou Ye, now that the imperial court has allowed Hou Ye to open a mansion and build a tooth, the area around Shanbei Road is all under Hou Ye's control." I don't know what Master Hou has planned? ”

As soon as Zheng Kui's words fell, everyone put down their wine glasses and stared at Yue Yang, Zheng Kui's words were what they had always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, after all, there was suddenly an extra Hou Ye with a heavy army and a mansion on the boundary of Shanxi, and the impact on them was too great. They can't help but be careless.

Yue Yang also knew what everyone was worried about, and he smiled slightly: "Lord Zheng, my lords, although Benhou was favored by the emperor and gave him the right to open the mansion and build teeth, you are all officials appointed by the imperial court, so Benhou will not meddle in local affairs indiscriminately, unless it is an extraordinary period." Otherwise, the Hou Mansion will not interfere in your affairs on weekdays, so you can rest assured! ”

Everyone glanced at each other, and then they were relieved that for them, the biggest worry was that they were afraid that Yue Yang would rely on his power to meddle in local affairs. But they have no way to do it, so that they, the magistrates, will be in a very awkward situation. Now with Yue Yang's assurance, their hearts are much more relieved.

After a while, Jiang Xin picked up a glass of wine and stood up and said with a wry smile to Yue Yang: "Master Hou, the lower officials offend you a lot on weekdays, and the lower officials are all to blame for being confused for a while, and I hope that you don't blame the lower officials for a lot." ”

As soon as Jiang Xin said this, everyone also looked at him. Everyone here has their own sources, everyone knows very well what role Jiang Xin played a few days ago, when Gao Qiqian and Chen Xinjia came, he was willing to be the vanguard of the two, jumping up and down, and even running out of the city every day, as long as the purpose is clear to everyone. At that time, many people also thought that Yue Yang would not escape this catastrophe, but later the situation came to a big reversal, Yue Yang ruthlessly drove Gao Qiqian and Chen Xinjia out of Shanxi after cutting off their ears, and the service refused to pay grain taxes to the imperial court, forcing the imperial court to bow its head, and even had to make him a marquis. Jiang Xin offended such a ruthless person, and it is estimated that the future will be sad.

Yue Yang put down his chopsticks, raised his head, glanced at Jiang Xin lightly, and said: "Lord Jiang is serious, everyone is doing errands for the imperial court, and it is understandable to do something out of the ordinary occasionally, this official is naturally not a narrow-minded person, and you don't have to worry about ending up like Chen Xinjia." ”

As soon as these seemingly comforting words came out, Jiang Xin's face not only did not improve, but became even paler. Everyone present also sighed secretly, they all knew that Jiang Xin was finished. Yue Yang's words seem to be very generous, but in fact, officials often can't just listen to the superficial meaning, Yue Yang said that Jiang Xin will not end up like Chen Xinjia, which means that he will not use violent means to deal with him, but Yue Yang did not say that he did not pursue what Jiang Xin did, let alone expose the past, so his subtext is that our accounts will be calculated slowly in the future, so that Jiang Xinyan's future fate can naturally be expected.

Although Yue Yang's words had already determined Jiang Xin's fate in the future, few people would sympathize with him. Officialdom is like this, once you stand on the wrong team, the consequences are often very serious, the lighter ones have been standing still for many years, and the heavier ones have lost their official positions and even lost their lives. Since Jiang Xin chose to support Chen Xinjia and Gao Qiqian, he must be prepared to be retaliated by Yue Yang.

The banquet ended in a strange atmosphere, and many people went back to either go into the study or find someone to discuss. Everyone is not a fool, Jiang Xin's seat is about to be lost, and the vacated seat is naturally staring at countless people, and the person who may take over this position is naturally going to start working.
