(Xie was full of the monthly pass for his brother who was not hungry, and went out yesterday, thinking that he could rush back to update, but his friend stayed overnight and drank a few more cups of yellow soup, so it was a tragedy, sorry!) Thirty-six

There was no one outside the Qianqing Palace, the breeze flowed in all directions, and the autumn chrysanthemums were fragrant, and occasionally one or two eunuchs and palace maids hurriedly walked through the flowers and trees in the distance; Song Nan was a little puzzled, went down the steps in front of the hall, looked around the flower garden, and suddenly heard someone whispering in the distance: "Lord Song, Lord Song." ”

Song Nan followed the prestige, and saw that next to the green bamboo by the wall, there was a person waving to him, that person was slender and handsome, it was Yang Tinghe, a cabinet scholar.

Yang Tinghe has been in the cabinet for more than a year, although he is also more than 40 people, but compared with the cabinet scholars, he is still a small generation, whether it is Li Dongyang, Jiao Fang, Wang Wei and others, they are all more senior than Li Dongyang, so in the cabinet, Yang Tinghe has been low-key, and he does not say much in the court, giving people a sense of submissiveness.

But Song Nan knew that Yang Tinghe was not an incompetent person, when he first saw Li Dongyang in the imperial womb, Song Nan could feel the strong self-suppressed aura on Yang Tinghe's body; Judging from Yang Tinghe's behavior, he is not a pedantic person, and he is as good as the prince in his studies, which makes Zhengde's attitude towards him extremely changeable.

In addition, only Song Nan knew that Yang Tinghe was Li Dongyang's hardcore protégé, and he was ordered by Zhengde to compromise with Li Dongyang, and this Yang Tinghe was a compromise transaction, and it was that compromise that gave Yang Tinghe the opportunity to enter the cabinet directly, which shows that Li Dongyang has high hopes for Yang Tinghe.

This time to boycott the trilateral system, Yang Tinghe behaved positively and changed his low-key style, which shows that Yang Tinghe no longer interferes in the cabinet as an errand runner, and this is about to enter the public eye.

"Hey, Scholar Yang, why are you?" Song Nan walked quickly and bowed.

Yang Tinghe pointed to his lips and looked around, and said in a low voice: "This is not the place to speak, come with me." ”

Song Nan smiled, knowing that Yang Tinghe must be afraid that meeting with him near the Qianqing Palace would be discovered by Liu Jin and others, so he followed Yang Tinghe and walked west along the sandwich road, and walked to a secluded pavilion at the south end of the Wenhua Palace.

Song Nan smiled and said: "Scholar Yang, I suddenly had an important task last night, and I had to deal with it, and I am really sorry to be absent from the appointment of the Guogong Mansion." ”

Yang Tinghe blew the fallen leaves on the stone bench on the pavilion, and pointed: "Lord Song, please take a seat, Lord Song is a busy man, he is busy with things at hand, and it is normal to be normal, don't mind; I don't know if Lord Song has a plan for that matter? ”

Song Nan looked at the lush flowers and trees around him, and said with a smile: "Shall we talk here?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "The scenery here is beautiful, the track is inaccessible, and the court likes to come here to sit and read the most on weekdays, and besides, in addition to this place in the palace, I can't think of any place where you and I can speak freely, can we still swagger to the cabinet office to talk?" ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Then it's better to speak in front of some people, your cabinet office is a leaky ball, and you can't keep the slightest secret." ”

Yang Tinghe smiled and said: "It's good that your lord knows the way, and the court and the road are not a good place to go, but the matter is urgent, and this matter can't be delayed any longer." ”

Song Nan said: "Didn't you mention this matter in the morning today?" ”

Yang Tinghe said in a low voice: "That's because the emperor has sent the candidate to the cabinet, asking for the vote to be played within two days, if the cabinet can't put forward any substantive reasons for opposition, the matter will be finalized, and it will be too late by then." ”

Song Nan nodded and said: "I see, I have to make a decision in two days, it seems that some people are in a hurry and can't stand it." ”

Yang Tinghe stretched out his hand to twist a yellow leaf on the stone table, twisted it unconsciously in his hand, and said slowly: "This matter must not be allowed to succeed by that person, now the situation in the DPRK and China is urgent, that person and the honorable relatives join forces, there are many tentacles in the outer court army, and in the long run, the government is afraid that it will be controlled by one hand; If it is not suppressed, it will be a big tail, and then it will be a disaster for the society and the death of the imperial court. ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Do you still need Scholar Yang to tell me this truth?" I must have told you something last night, and no matter what image I have in the minds of the lords of the outer court, at this time, our interests are the same. ”

Yang Tinghe smiled and said: "Lord Song is a lovely person, and talking to Lord Song is the most effortless, and it is easy to understand at one point, as if he has a heart." ”

Song Nan shuddered and said, "Lao Tzu doesn't have a heart to heart with your uncle. He said, "Thank you, University Scholar Miaozan." ”

Yang Tinghe smiled and said: "Then, Lord Song must be confident, don't say when you will wait at this time?" ”

Song Nan said: "I naturally thought of a solution, but I am afraid that it is too late in time, if it can be delayed for a few days, Ma Angding will not be able to make a trilateral system." ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Can you tell me that you know?" ”

Song Nan said: "Of course. After saying that, he turned around, Yang Tinghe understood, and leaned over to listen to Song Nan with his ears sideways. Song Nan's thin lips twitched, whispering in his ear, Yang Tinghe nodded frequently, and the smile on his face revealed a trace of disdain.

"It's a great solution."

Song Nan smiled: "Bachelor Yang thinks it can be returned?" ”

Yang Tinghe said: "Of course, but I don't know if Lord Song personally came forward, or did my cabinet lead the foreign court?" ”

Song Nan smiled and asked, "What does Bachelor Yang think?" ”

Yang Tinghe thought for a while and said: "Tinghe has asked many times, so naturally it is our outer court that comes forward, and Lord Song is good at adding fuel to the fire." ”

Song Nan said: "Bachelor Yang is a wise person, and he hopes to understand my hardships, but the emperor made it clear that if there is an incident between me and Liu Jin to suppress each other, he will not spare the two of me, and I dare not come forward." ”

Yang Tinghe smiled and said: "I understand, but I don't know how many days the news can be written?" ”

Song Nan stretched out a hand and said, "Five days is enough, let's see you in five days." ”

Yang Tinghe nodded and said, "Okay, from tomorrow onwards, the cabinet and the outer court will collectively take a five-day leave." ”

Song Nan smiled and said, "Collective sick leave? That's a good idea. ”

Yang Tinghe heard Song Nan's teasing and sighed: "Helpless move, ashamed and ashamed." ”

Song Nan smiled and got up and said, "Then I'll leave now, my lord should keep it a secret, don't fall short, say hello to Li Shoufu for me." ”

Yang Tinghe got up and hugged his fists and said: "Lord Song, can you and I get closer to each other in the future, although I have only been in contact with Lord Song a few times, Ting He Yifa feels that Lord Song is not as rumored to be by the outside world...... As...... Person; Tinghe sincerely apologizes to Lord Song here, and he also believed a lot of misinformation about Lord Song before, and he was extremely ashamed; In the future, if someone says how Lord Song is, Tinghe will be the first to stand up and refute him. ”

Song Nan looked at Yang Tinghe's sincere appearance, smiled secretly in his heart, and said with a smile after a little thought: "Song Nan was very moved by Master Yang's words, but real people don't tell lies, I, Song Nan, have self-knowledge, I have never expected to be respected by the adults in the outer court, and I don't care what the outer court thinks of me; Although I, Song Nan, am not a sage full of wealth, I am not a three-year-old child who calls my mother for a jelly bean. I do things two principles, one is to live up to the emperor's grace, the other is to live up to myself, I don't expect to integrate into your circle, and I am not afraid of being misunderstood, Yang Daxue wants to be close to me, I am naturally flattered, but I know that Yang Daxue is just a verbal talk, I will not take it to heart. ”

Yang Tinghe's face turned red, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and angry when Song Nan exposed the lie. There is indeed a lot of controversy in the outer court about this cooperation with Song Nan, although the outer court is in decline, but the arrogance of the literati cannot be lost, but now they want to join forces with Song Nan, which is a shameful thing in the eyes of many civil officials.

But Yang Tinghe saw very clearly that in the current situation, the only candidate who can resist Liu Jin's dominance of power is Song Nan, Song Nan is not only a celebrity around the emperor, but also has the British duke as a backer behind him, Song Nan has been knighted for his military exploits, and it is not impossible to meddle in the regimental camp over time. If Liu Jin and Song Nan can be brought down, it will naturally be the desire of the outer court, the cabinet will be dissolved, and the shame of being sceptered in front of the palace gate is still in front of them, which is already an indelible grievance of civil officials, but blindly rejecting and confronting is definitely not a good strategy.

Yang Tinghe believes that the best way is to unite one side, suppress one side, and eliminate one by one; This is also the difference between Yang Tinghe and other foreign court ministers, Yang Tinghe never thought that the court staff was glorious, he was a person with his own rules of conduct, in view of this, he persuaded Li Dongyang, against public opinion, personally contacted the British public, explained the benefits, and successfully won the support of the British public, and then pulled Song Nan to the united front.

In the face of Song Nan's outspokenness, Yang Tinghe was also secretly frightened, it is no accident that this person can get to today's status, this is a sober-minded guy who does his own thing, this kind of person is the most difficult to tame, but fortunately, the outer court has never tamed Song Nan's intentions, and the only way for people like Song Nan to deal with him is to bring him down, destroy him, and let him never turn over.

"Lord Song's words made Tinghe embarrassed, Tinghe was taught, and sent Lord Song." Yang Tinghe's extreme humility seems a little hypocritical.

Song Nan arched his hand, turned around and stepped down the small pavilion, and disappeared at the end of the path like a willow.
