Chapter 681: A Wise Choice

The fragrance of tea curls, and the two sit separately.

Lin Haoran sipped the tea with the teacup, and prepared to deal with Wang Fu in a timely manner, thinking that he was going to intercede for Xu Ji and Jiang Yuanwai. But I didn't expect that I was going to marry him, and I couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

After only being stunned for a moment, his face became solemn. Combined with his family situation, there are only two modes of marriage: one is with him himself, and the other is with his closest relatives.

It's just the former, he is already engaged to Wu Shan's daughter, and Wang Fang can't wronged his own daughter or grandson to be his concubine. And now it's so tactful, probably the idea of beating the wild girl of the tiger girl.

But this matter is a bit unreasonable, he undoubtedly belongs to the strong side, and he should be "married" rather than "married". Only if he strongly wants to join the Xu Party can there be a possibility of compromise.

"Lord Duxian, please forgive me, the lower official has a marriage contract, and my tiger girl is young! And I only have this sister, and now I only hope that she can grow up happily, and I will definitely not entrust her to anyone so early! Lin Haoran's attitude was very firm, and he said softly and hardly.

Wang Fu was not surprised by this answer, knowing that the relationship between the brother and sister was very deep, and he also knew that this was not a prevarication. It's just that love is earnest, and he said unwillingly: "You should know that Yan Ge Lao is eighty years old this year, and Xu Ge Lao and the old man are the same year and have a friendship of more than 30 years, can't you see the current situation clearly?" ”

When Lin Haoran heard this, he knew what Wang Fang meant, but he looked at Wang Fan and said with a straight face: "The future situation is naturally in favor of Xu Ge Lao!" It's just that when the next official was appointed as the cabinet secretary, Yan Ge's old body was still very tough. The saint has authorized Yan Shilang to enter the cabinet to serve his father on the 80th birthday of Yan Pavilion this year, and now Yan Ge Lao Sheng's grace is long, and our courtiers will be headed by Yan Ge Lao in a few years! ”

When Wang Fu heard this, his eyes flickered.

These words undoubtedly directly hit the sore spot of Xu Dang, who thought that eighty years old would be a big catastrophe for Yan Song, and they were also looking forward to the arrival of this day. But I never expected that what was waiting for was not Yan Song's going into the wilderness, but Yan Shifan's high-sounding entry into the cabinet.

When Yan Song expressed his intention to retire, the saint actually arranged Yan Shifan into the cabinet, which shows how determined the saint is to keep Yan Song. If it weren't for Yan Shifan's lack of courage, it was only his father who joined the ranks, otherwise everyone would think that Yan Shifan would be ahead of Xu Jie.

Even so, this change was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Xu Dang, making Xu Jie's replacement of Yan Song even more confusing.

just knew that this was the case, but Wang Fang couldn't be easily dismissed, and immediately said in an elder-like tone: "Ruoyu, you are only eighteen this year, you should look farther away!" ”

For a young official like Lin Haoran, choosing Xu Jie is naturally far better than Yan Song. After all, Yan Song is not an old monster, it is impossible to serve as the first assistant all the time, and one day he will be replaced by Xu Jie.

"Lord Duxian is right, the lower official is only eighteen today, so you should think twice before doing things!" Lin Haoran smiled slightly, and then said pointedly: "This world of the Ming Dynasty is the world of the Zhu family, and there is only a saint in the eyes of the lower officials, and then ...... Nothing else! ”

Wang Fan was gently plucking the tea, thinking that Lin Haoran was moved by what he said, but when he heard that Lin Haoran didn't make a choice, he couldn't help but look up in amazement, with an unbelievable look on his face.

"No matter now or in the future, whoever the Holy Lord wants to be Yuanfu, the lower officials will obey Yuanfu and be filial to the Shengshang!" Lin Haoran's face was solemn, and justice arched towards the north.

Although he knew that the future would indeed belong to Xu Jie, he did not intend to accept the olive branch extended by Wang Fu for Xu Jie.

Because he knows very well that it is difficult for him to go further in the officialdom now, and he is only an eighteen-year-old official from the fourth grade, which is very eye-catching, how can he easily be promoted again.

What's more, he is now ruling as the prefect of Leizhou, and he is also the Bosi of Guangdong City and the military preparation of Haibei, so he can become the emperor of western Guangdong, and he can't simply pursue promotion.

Nowadays, the most important thing is to strengthen its own influence and enhance its soft power in officialdom, rather than creating extraneous branches.

If you choose to join the Xu Party now, you will not get any substantial benefits in the short term, but will stand on the opposite side of the powerful Yan Party, which will undoubtedly leave hidden dangers.

In particular, Wang Fang's Liangguang Governor is still in danger, and once Wang Fang's position is replaced by someone from the Yan Party, it will inevitably purge the Xu Party in Guangdong, and he will also be severely attacked by the Yan Party.

Proceeding from one's own interests, this kind of standing in line is more than worth the loss, and it is actually a foolish move.

"As courtiers, we should be like this!" Wang Fu glanced at Lin Haoran deeply, and finally said bitterly.

can achieve the position of the governor of Liangguang, and naturally he can see many things clearly. In fact, he considered whether to wronged his granddaughter, but the other party obviously had a clear position for him, and it was impossible to easily stand in the camp of the Xu Party.

Lin Haoran didn't want the atmosphere to be too embarrassing, so he arched his hand seriously: "Lord Duxian, the lower officials have not moved recently when they learned that Wang Lian has betrayed the party. If the adults intend to encircle and suppress Wang Lian, the lower officials will definitely do their best to help the adults win! ”

"It's not easy!" Wang Fu took a sip of the teacup, but shook his head gently.

Wang Lian gathered nearly 100,000 people, and entrenched himself on the border of the three provinces, where he built a village to defend it. With the troops that Liangguang could mobilize, Wang Lian could not be wiped out at all, but he had to bear the risk of losing the war.

Now that his future is dwindling, where can he mobilize such a big action? Even if it is an action, all the officers of these guards spare their lives, how can they exterminate Wang Lian's powerful judgment party.

It's not that Wang Fang doesn't want to get rid of Wang Lian's gang of traitors, but he has the heart but is powerless.

Just as Wang Fang can understand him, Lin Haoran can also understand Wang Fang, just sighing silently. is in the officialdom, and many officialdoms seem to be infinitely beautiful, but they all have a difficult scripture to read.

To be honest, the reason why Wang Fang behaved so "incompetently" can't be blamed entirely on him, in fact, it is "difficult for a good woman to cook without rice".

When Liu Jin, the former eunuch in power, forced the governor of Liangguang to escort 500,000 taels of silver from the Guangdong treasury to the capital, resulting in the military expenditure of Liangguang and the financial emptiness of Guangdong, resulting in the decline of the Guangdong Guard.

During the period of resistance against Japanese aggression, a large number of ships from the coastal guard posts in Guangxi and Guangxi were directly transferred to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to resist the Japanese and Japanese defenses, which strengthened the strength of the coastal guard posts in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but greatly weakened Guangdong's coastal defense capability.

Some guards have even directly lost their combat capability at sea, and this is undoubtedly a great passivity. Those powerful Japanese invaders, and they can barely compete on the ground, and there are no ships to go out to sea to fight, let alone annihilate the Japanese at sea.

It is exactly like this, but it is not that Wang Fang is inactive, it is really difficult for anyone to make a difference.
