Yang Peng was not only respectful to Zhang Zhou, but even proposed to help Zhang Zhou solve the "trouble", which seemed to be full of sincerity.

After Yang Peng left, Sun Shangqi came in and brought Zhang Zhou a secret letter from the emperor.

Zhang Zhou opened it and looked at it, but his face did not change.

Sun Shangqi said: "After Guo Zhen's envoy left, there was a vacancy in the Fusi of the North Town of the Beijing Division, and many people in Jinyi Wei were discussing this matter. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Actually, you are qualified to go up." ”

"There is no such thought in the lowly office." Sun Shangqi said very sincerely, "I just want to stay here, and I can help my grandfather do things." ”

Zhang Zhou smiled and said: "The new envoy arrived two days ago, but it may have been hindered by something, and he hasn't arrived yet." But I guess it's going to be soon. Tomorrow I will send Yang Gonggong away, I won't give him food, you can just go for me. ”

"Humble ......"

"You don't have to shy away from anything, although you are in the Jinyi Guard, you are not controlled by Yang Gonggong, you will be a cooperative relationship in the future, and you don't need to consider his face. There's a lot to do here. ”

In Zhang Zhou's intentions, don't look at Sun Shangqi, who is now only the commander of Jinyiwei, but in the eyes of the emperor, he is almost on the same level as Yang Peng.

Even Sun Shangqi's position is more stable than Yang Peng.

Sun Shangqi didn't have this kind of confidence, because he felt that he was just an errand runner, and he didn't even dare to breathe in front of Yang Peng, where did he get the qualifications to cooperate with Yang Peng?

……

……

Early the next morning, Yang Peng left for Beijing.

But when Zhang Zhou got up in the morning, Wang Mingshan was still practicing martial arts in the courtyard, Zhang Zhou looked at it with a smile next to him for a while, just like watching aerobics, looking at Wang Mingshan's agile posture, he felt very beautiful, much better than the flower shelves on the stage.

So much so that he was looking for Wang Mingshan to have something to do, so he put it aside first.

It wasn't until after Wang Mingshan finished his work that Zhang Zhou beckoned her to his side, and at this time, Wang Mingshan could still see some beads of sweat on the corner of his forehead, which looked even brighter and moving in the sun.

"It's all a mother, and it's like a child." Zhang Zhou said with a smile, gave her the cloth, and asked her to dry her sweat first, "Go in and change Jinyiwei's clothes, and follow me to see your father." He's coming. ”

As soon as Wang Mingshan heard that her father was coming, she suddenly looked a little nervous.

The old Wang family is a typical patrilineal family, the patriarchy is greater than the sky, and Wang Mingshan is also influenced by the family, so she will practice martial arts since childhood, for her, the life of the original Wang family is very different from the life of the Zhang family.

I didn't think it before, but now she knows how to make trade-offs.

When Zhang Zhou took Wang Mingshan out to see the king.

When Wang Shi saw Zhang Zhou, he walked over from afar, and it was a big gift, and he kowtowed: "When you are a lowly king, see Lord Shangshu." ”

Zhang Zhou looked at Wang Mingshan with a smile, and Wang Mingshan was a little confused.

My father has knelt, so should I kneel too? Standing behind Zhang Zhou, he always felt that he was receiving a great gift from his old father.

It's just that her brain circuit is more special, and before she could figure it out, Zhang Zhou had reached out and helped Wang Shi up.

"Wang is polite. Let's go in and talk. Zhang Zhou said with a smile.

After Wang Shi got up, he respectfully saluted his daughter and said, "I've seen the young lady." ”

Because Wang Mingshan has an order, Wang Shi respects Zhang Zhou, and he must also maintain respect for his daughter...... For the people of the old Wang family, when they enter the Zhang family, they have nothing to do with the Wang family, but they can't snub the people around Zhang Zhou.

This made Wang Mingshan very embarrassed.

Zhang Zhou smiled.

He deeply felt the heart of the Wang family's tycoon, but thinking that Wang Yue was like this to him, he didn't ask Wang Yue's son, and he was not the first heir to the title of the Wang family, and he also had to rely on the powerful to pave the way for him to have the opportunity to access higher power.

……

……

Inside the hotel.

Wang Shi explained to Zhang Zhou in detail the situation of his duties in the northwest and eastern Liaodong, which had the meaning of reporting work.

And Wang Mingshan has been standing behind Zhang Zhou, although her father is sitting there, she feels that her father has been nodding to Zhang Zhou, which makes her very uncomfortable.

"Wang Yanshi is transferred from the military this time, Your Majesty has promoted you to the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, and after returning to Beijing this time, you will have to perform your duties. Wang Yanshi may have to change the habits in the army first, and start to adapt to the errand in Jinyiwei, which is not as ...... as in the army."

Wang Shi said: "The humble position understands that the Jinyi Guard is responsible for the affairs of the prison, which is different from the true responsibility of the military position in the army. The humble will definitely do his best to repay the emperor's kindness. ”

Zhang Zhou sighed: "It's Gonggong Yang of the Admiral Dongchang who has already set off earlier. If you chase after it, it may be too late. ”

Wang Shi smiled and said, "The lowly will be." In fact, Yang Gonggong had secretly sent a letter to the lowly position, telling him that after he went back, he could do things together. Gonggong Yang seems to have expectations for his humble position, and he also knows that his humble position depends on your support, Lord Shangshu. ”

Every sentence is uttered with great respect.

Zhang Zhou also felt that among his fathers-in-law, Wang Shi was probably the one who knew how to see the wind and steer the rudder.

However, thinking that Cui Yuan's father had never seen it himself, it seemed that he couldn't define who couldn't stand up in front of the powerful.

"Gonggong Yang also indicated that after returning to Beijing, he will give specific instructions." Wang Shi said with a little pride on his face, "The lowly position does have a half-understanding of the errand in the Jinyi Guard, and even ...... I also want you to mention more, Madame. ”

Wang Mingshan's eyes widened, she didn't know if she should answer.

Zhang Zhou glanced at Wang Mingshan again, after all, Wang Mingshan's official uniform of Jinyi Wei Qianhu was very conspicuous, if Wang Mingshan was to talk about Wang Mingshan, it was also considered an old seniority in Jinyiwei, although her errand was only to receive imperial food, and then to be a protector by Zhang Zhou's side.

Zhang Zhoudao: "In fact, there is no need for Wang Yanshi to come to see me, and I have nothing to advise." On the Yang Gonggong side, he has to ask for more advice, and he can be said to be extremely proficient in the matter of factory guards. Also, you and I should avoid such meetings. ”

Wang Shi hurriedly said, "It is a command of God." ”

"I know." Zhang Zhou smiled and nodded, "Actually, Gonggong Yang came to see me, and he also said that he wanted to ask me for advice, but how can I, as the secretary of the Ministry of War, ask casually about the law?" Previously, Beizhen Fusi had just sent a few people to commit crimes, and recently the people involved in exile in the Beijing Division have basically come to me, probably just to let you tell me about this. ”

"Man ...... Criminal"

Wang Shi was still a little excited.

He was a sheep before, but now he suddenly has great power, even if he is not the commander of Jinyiwei, he is also the commander of Beizhen Fusi, which is equivalent to the second-in-command of Jinyiwei.

The officials of the DPRK and China will be afraid when they see him in the future, and people like him, who are easy to bow to power, will have a very big backlash after gaining power...... In other words, how humble he used to be to the powerful, when he himself got power, he would have many teeth and claws.

Zhang Zhouzheng thought that he knew this, and he didn't want his cheap father-in-law to offend too many people in the court in the future.

"Wang Yanshi, I have something here, just so you can help me send it back to Beijing." Zhang Zhou counted as giving Wang Shi a little thing to do and establish a connection, "And send it to your house." It's also a little bit of my heart for Mingshan's family. ”

"This ...... How can this be? Wang Shi was so frightened that he hurriedly explained, "This humble post came in a hurry, and no generous gifts were prepared. ”

"Old Taishan is going to see the outside, I and Ling Yan are the marriage hand-picked by His Majesty, that is, a family, don't see too much in the future. As for my gift, I also hope that your house will be peaceful. There are too many people who have offended me in the court, and in the future or in some places, it will also make Lao Taishan inconvenient for you, I hope you understand. Zhang Zhouxian lowered his identity and let Wang Shi feel that he was sincere.

Wang Shi was very uncomfortable with this.

In his eyes, his daughter was given to the powerful as a concubine, and she was still qualified to be on an equal footing with others? Even a self-confessed father-in-law?

Zhang Zhoudao: "I heard that Lao Taishan is superb in chess, and after returning to Beijing, I will definitely sit down with you when I have time, taste tea, and play chess, which is also a way to cultivate sentiment." Bo Li, I hope you don't dislike it. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Wang Shi was also flattered.

Zhang Zhou said: "This time, Brother Wei Ninghou also sent troops to Liaodong with the army, and you also have a lot of friendship with Tang Yin, so let's put it this way." If you don't want to go back to Beijing to perform your duties, in fact, it is feasible for you to continue to level the Liaodong Jurchens with Tang Yin, but the affairs in the army should be handed over to Brother Ling first. ”

"Yes, yes." Wang Shi responded.

It's not that Wang Shi doesn't want to get military merits, but it's enough for the old Wang family to produce a Weining Marquis, and the Wang family doesn't expect to get two titles, that's a bit nonsense.

And now the real lack of the command of the Jinyi Guard, which is what others dream of, Wang Shi has never enjoyed the feeling of being in power in the past, and this time he seems to be satisfied.

……

……

After Wang Shi left the port, he hurried up.

After traveling day and night, before the next night, I finally caught up with Yang Peng and his party.

Yang Peng is also very face-saving, even if he doesn't rest that night, he has to go to Wang Shi to meet first.

"I have long heard of General Wang's prestige, and when I see it today, it is really extraordinary, and it is really an honor for our family to have the opportunity to work together in the future." Yang Peng came up and was very flattering to Wang Shi.

Wang Shi wanted to kneel, but this time before he could kneel, he was supported by Yang Peng.

"What is this about? As a minister in the same hall, you don't need this kind of big gift. In the future, the peer will be friends. Yang Peng said with a smile.

"Don't dare." Wang Shi was somewhat confident in front of Yang Peng.

When he saw Zhang Zhou, he was really scared, because he knew very well that Zhang Zhou was now in the court, and he could influence the rise and fall of a family at will, or the life and death of a person.

No matter how powerful Yang Peng is, he is only one level higher than him in official affairs.

"You may be seated."

Yang Peng pulled Wang Shi to sit.

The two sat on an equal footing, and Yang Peng asked with a smile: "Before you came, did you visit Cai Guogong?" ”

"Yes." Wang Shi nodded, "I went to see it, and then I came here under the stars." ”

"That's it, it's all done on the same roof, and there is no need to have any mustard." As soon as Yang Peng waved his hand, even his Yang Peng's cronies were retreated, so that only the two of them were left alone.

Yang Peng continued: "Let's make it clear, Your Majesty now hopes to clear the obstacles in the Qing Dynasty for Cai Guogong, and you should know about the impeachment of Cai Guogong and the officials of the court, right?" ”

"I've heard that." Wang Shidao.

"Then it's your errand." Yang Peng said, "Let's put it this way, just these few people are not enough. ”

"This ......"

The king was a little confused.

Yang Peng said eloquently: "In our family's opinion, just punishing a Xie Ge elder is not enough to deter the middle of the court, those people think very highly of themselves, but they never think about the court, they don't think about Your Majesty, they will only do the same thing as the party." In their eyes, they don't look down on us people. ”

Wang Shi sighed helplessly, did not nod or respond, but obviously he agreed with this statement.

As the second eldest from the Marquis of Weining, his family title has nothing to do with him, it all depends on his relationship with Zhang Zhou that he took the throne.

In a high position, how to deter the following group of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods is very important.

asked him to see Zhang Zhou in order to gain Zhang Zhou's trust and support, and Yang Peng's goodwill also gave him the firm support of his boss...... That's what gives him the opportunity to do things.

So no matter what, he has to stand on the side of Zhang Zhou and Yang Peng.

Yang Peng also seemed to be very clear about his position, he said: "This time our family goes back, without Your Majesty's instructions, we have to keep an eye on those who want to make a difference in the court." Whether he is the first minister, or the six books, as long as it goes against His Majesty's will, it is our opponent, and we cannot ignore it. ”

"Who?" When the king is the king, he will also be a straight person.

Listening to Yang Peng's words so "vividly", his question was more direct.

You said that you are so energetic, you should always tell me, who is the target after we return to Beijing, right? This also makes me mentally prepared to work hard in this direction.

"Haha." Yang Peng said with a smile, "General Wang is straightforward, and he has a very good appetite for our family." Let's just say, you will become friends with our family, and so it is. There is the legacy of Wei Ninghou. I also made it clear, it's better to be a Shangshu, no matter how worthwhile, it's okay to be a Shangshu...... In addition, the level of the waiter and Zhengqing is lower, which is not enough to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys. ”

The range has narrowed down a bit.

It is the elders or scholars who are to be punished, and they are targeted.

Removing a few that are unlikely to be punished, such as Lin Han and Cheng Minzheng, there are actually only a handful of those who can be listed.

Wang Shi said: "To find the flaws in their work, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

Yang Peng shook his head and said: "These people seem to be talking about rules, but in fact, they don't talk about rules for a long time. In the major and minor affairs of the DPRK and China, they colluded with each other to establish the so-called covenant of common advance and retreat, which was actually to ignore the king's law. ”

"Oh?" The king did not know how to answer this.

I don't know who this basin is going to buckle on.

Yang Peng said: "Let's just say it, it's only been a few days, and some people have wanted to use the matter of transferring grain from Liaodong to play some tricks, and those things can't be hidden from Dongchang, you should know after you return to Beijing." After Xie Gelao's case a few years ago, many people in the DPRK and China refused to stop. ”

"That's how it should be...... How? Wang Shi said in a tone of inquiry.

"Set things right." Yang Peng sneered, "Take one person, and the demons are still dancing wildly, then take another person...... Until they are willing to stop. Don't think that Your Majesty changed you and went up with our family, just to calm things down, on the contrary, we must have the courage to carry the black cauldron, and Your Majesty also wants people who are knowledgeable and can do things. Otherwise, how can we gain a foothold in the DPRK and China? People are not ruthless, and they can't stand steadily. (End of chapter)
