The scholar in the eight-grade Wenhua Palace, the false title.

Ye Xianggao is not kind.

Judging from Wang Tiqian's description, Liangchen felt that Wanli was already very worthy of him, and it was Ye Xianggao who was sorry for him.

If according to Wanli's original intention, he was given the post of cabinet secretary, although he was born in a miscellaneous stream, but after a few years, he could be added.

And according to Li Yongzhen, although the position of the cabinet secretary is low, there is a lot of oil and water that can be fished. The reason is that the cabinet assistants, Chen in and out, the cabinet to draw up the purpose of the vote, the person who gets the foresight, only writes the vote.

Any document drafted by the Cabinet is drafted directly by the Chinese Cabinet and then approved by the Bachelor. And all kinds of notes submitted by various ministries, the cabinet books can also be read in advance, or secretly inspected. If outsiders want to know about it and can't learn from the bachelors, they will find a way to bribe these scholars, so that the natural income is considerable.

In addition, the two tenants are also involved in the translation of foreign documents and the classification and archiving of archives, which is a matter of great responsibility. It is by no means comparable to the two halls of vain titles.

In addition to the considerable income, Li Yongzhen mentioned another benefit, which made Liangchen hate Ye Xianggao to the core. That is, as long as the scholar in the two-room room has been tried for seven years, and there is no bad evaluation from Shangguan, he will try it once.

This is the treatment of lifting people, if the opportunity is good, you can try it in one fell swoop. By mistake, it is not impossible to be a Jinshi. From then on, it was not a miscellaneous origin, but the right path.

It's a pity that this benefit was lost by Ye Xianggao.

This is a good man, and I don't know where I offended him, such a bad person and a good thing.

So far, the good ministers have no other way but to give up the people in the eight-grade Wenhua Palace.

Even if he has opinions and complaints, it is impossible to vent them. Because, Ye Xianggao, the first assistant, has been doing it for seven years. After that, after the apocalypse ascended the throne, the Donglin party leader would come out again. At that time, his opponent was the second uncle.

However, there is one thing that makes the good ministers very satisfied, that is, Wang Tiqian not only sent him a special trip to the official body, but also brought the emperor's edict, that is, he was allowed to go to Fushun to investigate Gao Huai's arrears. Officially, this task is called "assisting in the payment of food, salaries, and payments." ”

Who is the host, the good ministers don't know, and Wang Tiqian doesn't know, this person was sent by the imperial court, not the inner court.

Relying on words alone, it is impossible for a good minister to go to Fushun like this.

Ye Xianggao also gave the emperor a little face, and after discounting Wei Liangchen's two-room scholar into a scholar in the two halls, he issued an official document to the military department. This official document has been quickly sent to the Liaodong Prefecture in Shenyang.

In the official document, in addition to asking the Liaodong Metropolitan Division to appease the aftermath of the military mutiny, and find out that Gao Huai's various criminal evidence over the years was truthfully reported to the imperial court, he also explained that Wei Liangchen, a member of the two palaces, would go to Fushun to investigate the border rebellion in Jianzhou, and collect money according to the matter.

Li Yongzhen is now eager to know what happened to Gao Huai, and he asked: "Does the prince know, what did the emperor say to Gao Gonggong?" ”

Wang Tiqian said: "Gonggong Gao has been recalled to Beijing by the emperor. "After a moment," the decree will come and close the door in a few days. ”

"That's fine."

Li Yongzhen nodded, and his heart was completely relieved, because although the chaotic army that had closed the door in the past two days was more polite to them and had not made things difficult, he looked at it that the army's morale was still unstable, and many officers and soldiers were still suspicious. If the emperor does not handle it well, the aftermath of this change will not be able to be dissipated. Even, he and Wei Liangchen, the little "angels", are likely to become the targets of the chaotic army and become the second Gao Huai.

Now that the emperor has dealt with Gao Huai decisively, the rebellious army has no reason to make trouble, and it is impossible to do it again. It's just that...

Li Yongzhen sighed secretly, in recent years, whenever something happened to the mine tax supervisor stationed in the station, the final result was either that the father-in-law sent was killed, or the emperor was forced to deal with the mine tax supervisor under the pressure of the foreign court. After going back and forth a few times, I am afraid that the mine tax supervisor will not last long.

Dead lips and cold teeth.

As a member of the inner court, Li Yongzhen felt sad and pitiful about Gao Huai's fate.

In any case, Gao Huai has been in Liao for ten years, without merit and hard work, but now he has been abolished by the civil and military forces of Liaodong, but the inner court has no power to fight back, let alone suppress, and the emperor is also powerless, which is chilling to think about.

This is Li Yongzhen's idea, and Liangchen's idea is much simpler, there is a military mutiny, there is also border chaos, and the civil and military forces in Liaodong participated in the expulsion of Gao Huai, and Gao Huai can no longer do it in Liaodong.

In this military mutiny, there must be an explanation.

Not to mention that Gao Huai caused the incident himself, even if it wasn't him, in order to calm the anger of the people and appease the morale of the army, Gao Huai's fall was inevitable.

What Liangchen is concerned about now is not what Gao Huai has to do with him, but whether the last sentence of his report to Wanli has been taken seriously.

So, he asked Wang Tiqian: "What about the Liaodong Mine Tax Supervisor?" ”

Wang Tiqian said: "The emperor has ordered Zhang Ye, the tax supervisor of Tongwan, to concurrently lead the affairs of Liaodong. ”

"Zhang Ye?" Li Yongzhen was shocked when he heard this name, "The one who guards Datong Town?" ”

Wang Tiqian nodded and said, "Yes, it's this Gonggong Zhang." ”

"If Gonggong Zhang comes to Liaodong, he will be able to shock the people who closed the door." Li Yongzhen said sincerely.

Liangchen didn't know who this Zhang Ye was, but seeing that Li Yongzhen and Wang Tiqian both looked admiring, he couldn't help but be curious, and asked Li Yongzhen what kind of immortal this Zhang Gonggong was.

"Gonggong Zhang was the palm seal of the imperial horse supervisor, 24 years as the eunuch of Datong Town, 34 years of the emperor originally sent him to Nanjing as the town guard, but Zhang Gonggong said that the current national economy is difficult, the treasury is empty, the world says that the emperor and the people compete for profits, and everyone shouts and beats the mine supervisor and tax. As a slave in the inner court, how can he not contribute to the emperor, how can he make the emperor worry about money and food every day, so he invited himself to be the tax supervisor of Tongwan. ”

Tongwan Tax Supervisor, the full name is the Governor of Tongwan (Zhou) Bay (Zhangjiawan) Tax Supervisor.

Tongzhou is the northern destination of Caoyun, the first prosperous in the world. There has never been a customs in this place before, because the foreign dynasty is busy in Tongzhou, and it is an important place for transportation, if there is a customs tax, it will make the ships congested, and it will be difficult for the goods to reach the capital. More importantly, it will make the southern rice grain pile up in Tongzhou, which is not conducive to the transfer of the imperial court, so in order to facilitate the transportation and not make the merchants troublesome, the tax customs cannot be set up here.

It is unreasonable to look at such a prosperous commercial transportation transit place, but there is no penny in taxes. Zhang Ye's own request to set up a tax customs in Tongwan is undoubtedly a great disapproval of the world, and his courage is not small.

Moreover, compared with the eunuchs of Nandu Town, the Tongwan tax supervisor is simply a heaven and a place. Nanjing is the capital of staying, and the six departments and nine secretaries are set up like Beijing, but there are only two people who are really in charge of the real presiding over in name, one is the eunuch who guards the southern capital, and the other is the secretary of the Nanjing military department.

Zhang Ye gave up the high position of guarding the eunuch in Nandu, and was willing to collect taxes in Tongzhou under infamy and pressure, this courage and mind alone are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Therefore, Li Yongzhen and Wang Tiqian believed that Zhang Gonggong concurrently served as the tax supervisor of the Liaodong Mine, and he would definitely be able to shake the scene.

At least, it won't be worse than Gao Huai.

After Wang Tiqian completed his mission, he did not stop at Shanhaiguan, and returned to Beijing on the same day. Tian Gang and Li Wei still stayed behind to accompany Wei Liangchen to Fushun.

On the way back to Shanhaiguan with Li Yongzhen from Weibao, Wei Liangchen told him something.

"By the way, Gonggong Li, can you write a letter to Shenyang on my behalf, I want Fushun Shou General Li Yongfang to accompany me to Jianzhou Right Guard."

Li Yongzhen stopped beating his horse and said suspiciously: "Wei She people know that Li Yongfang?" ”

"Acquaintance."

Liangchen smiled and didn't say much to Li Yongzhen. He is now a scholar in the two palaces, and of course he has the right to send a letter to the Liaodong Metropolitan Division. However, it is another matter for the commander of the envoy, Li Chengliang, who has added the title of Taifu, to ignore him and agree to his request.

"I'll do it when I get back."

Li Yongzhen didn't say much, in the past few days, there are too many things that puzzle him about this small case leader who has been a member of the Zhongshu House. As far as today's visit to this guard under the jurisdiction of Shanhaiwei is concerned, Wei Liangchen seems to be particularly interested in border affairs, and is also interested in the garrison's equipment, personnel composition, and local production.

Moreover, in the past two days, he has continued to ask Li Wei to collect information about the left and right guards of Jianzhou for him, as if he is very interested in Nurhachi, who dares to lead the troops to collect money from the pass, which makes Li Yongzhen very confused.

However, since he was ordered to accompany Wei Liangchen to Liaodong, he did whatever was told from above. What shouldn't be his concern, he won't care. As long as this Weishe person is not too out of line.

When he arrived at Shanhaiguan, Li Yongzhen thought of something, so he said to Wei Liangchen: "Wei She people can know that the people of the Wenhua Palace, for example, are selected and supplemented by good scholars and Confucian students, and they have been eating food for three years. But the people of Weishe must not give up on themselves, because if there is a celebrant to send the inscription, the ministry can also be conferred. ”

"Can Gonggong Li explain more clearly?" Liangchen reined in steeply and looked at Li Yongzhen. Tian Gang and Li Wei, who were following behind, also hurriedly reined in their horses and almost crashed into them.

Li Yongzhen smiled and said, "If the people of Wei She can get acquainted with the big man in the palace and want to be promoted, it is not difficult. ”

"What Gonggong Li means is that there are people in the palace, and my two palace houses still have a great future?" Liangchen pondered what Li Yongzhen meant.

"The Wei She people have the favor of the noble concubine, and if they want to send the celebrant to the ministry, it depends on whether the Wei She people have that heart."

"Hmm..."

Liangchen was silent, if Li Yongzhen said that there was indeed something to do, then he could naturally influence the celebrant through Concubine Zheng Guifei and help him send the title to the Ministry of Officials, so that he could be promoted to the official of the right path. But in this way, he is firmly tied to Concubine Zheng.

It is a curse, a blessing, and it is unknowable.

"I'll talk about this matter later, and I'll ask Gonggong Li for more help in the future, there are some things that Liangchen doesn't understand very well." Liangchen smiled and nodded at Li Yongzhen, there was a eunuch who knew the law and was familiar with the inner court and the outer court to help him counsel, and he benefited a lot.

"When are the Wei Sheren going to Fushun?" Li Yongzhen diverted from the topic just now.

Liangchen said: "I want to meet Zhang Hu first." ”

"Zhang Hu?"

Li Yongzhen frowned, this Zhang Hu is the leader of the Gaohuai Private Tax Army, although he was also born in the palace, but now it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the general of the first army.
