Tian Ergeng's statement suddenly said that Gao Qi had fallen into his heart, and he had two hobbies in his life, money and power.

And his qualifications around King Xin are shallower than Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua, since Cao Huachun was degraded to Nanjing, the inner servants around King Xin have gradually divided into two factions, headed by Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua.

Among the two, Wang Chengen and King Xin had a closer relationship, so Gao Qiqian chose to take refuge in Wang Chengen.

Although Wang Dehua was hated because of this, he also made a fat difference in the kitchen. But then King Xin found out what he had done in the accounts, and Wang Chengen became a little lukewarm to him.

King Xin unexpectedly ascended the throne and became a great tomorrow, and the people around them were naturally cheering.

One by one, they are gearing up, wanting to bring the fat shortage in the palace to their own name. However, after King Xin ascended the throne, he seemed to have changed as a person, and did not change the leaders of the 24 yamen according to the opinions of their close attendants, but established a metropolitan governor in an orderly manner, and reconstructed the power structure of the inner court.

Wang Dehua, who has been in charge of the capital governor since then, faintly overshadowed Wang Chengen, who entered the ceremonial prison.

Several of the attendants who followed King Xin into the palace had certain positions and powers in charge, except for Gao Qiqian. But Wang Dehua still seems to have a grudge, and when he believed in the palace, he chose Wang Chengen's old affairs between him and Wang Chengen, and blocked several tasks given by His Majesty to Gao Qiqian.

And Wang Chengen's side refused to contribute, so Gao Qiqian has not been able to get a justifiable position so far, so he can only do errands running around.

This reform of Huangzhuang involved the interests of the two eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Horse Prison and the Shangshan Supervisor, so these two eunuchs found him through Wang Chengen, hoping that he could persuade Tian Ergeng not to be too serious about his work, and to be perfunctory.

thought that he could please Wang Chengen and solve his job problems by doing a good job, plus the two eunuchs gave him 500 taels of money, and made it clear that as long as it was done properly, there would be another 3,000 taels of Xie Yi afterwards, which made Gao Qi dive into his heart.

But what Gao Qiqian didn't know was that Wang Chengen didn't want to do things for the two eunuchs, but he didn't want to hurt the peace with the Imperial Horse Supervisor and Shangshan Supervisor, so he pushed them to Gao Qiqian perfunctory, so he didn't give Gao Qiqian any explicit hints.

But seeing that everyone else had a way out, Gao Qi's potential for fame and fortune was too strong, and he completely misunderstood Wang Chengen's intention to let the two eunuchs find him, and as soon as he got out of the carriage, he wanted to make Tian Ergeng succumb, and as a result, he buried himself in the pit.

Inspired by Tian Ergeng, Gao Qiqian even hated Wang Chengen. Tian Ergeng's words all came to his heart, and Gao Qiqian suddenly forgot about the tension between the two before.

He now regards Tian Ergeng as a confidant in his life, grabbed Tian Ergeng's hand and said happily: "I can't imagine that Lord Tian is so righteous, if the miscellaneous family is profitable, they will not dare to disappoint the adult." My lord, but near this Imperial Village, did you catch any spies? ”

Tian Ergeng could only touch his nose, and said with a little embarrassment: "Gonggong Gao laughed, although Jinyiwei has the duty of arresting spies, but this Huangzhuang Zuojin is either a peasant who lives here, or a sergeant guarding this place, how can there be a spy." ”

Gao Qiqian suddenly let go of his hand, and said obviously with some unhappiness: "Hey, there is no spy, let the miscellaneous family make meritorious contributions, Lord Tian is not teasing the miscellaneous family." ”

Tian Ergeng had to explain: "What the lower officials want to dedicate to their father-in-law is not the military merit of arresting the spies, but the merit related to the reform of the imperial village." ”

Gao Qiqian shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Lord Tian is joking, miscellaneous families don't know about farming, if it's a military matter, you can still talk a few words." If this takes the credit for the reform of the imperial village and provokes His Majesty to inquire, the miscellaneous family will inevitably show their ugliness. ”

Tian Ergeng smiled slightly, and explained: "Although it is a credit to make suggestions for the reform of the Huangzhuang, isn't it also a credit to prevent others from destroying the reform of the Huangzhuang?" ”

Gao Qiqian continued to shake his head and said: "This prevents people from destroying the reform of the imperial village, and the miscellaneous family goes there to find these... Could it be that Lord Tian refers to..."

Tian Ergeng nodded, "It's the person who asked my father-in-law to come and talk about it." ”

"It's not big, is it? After all, they are also old people in the palace, and there are many disciples and grandchildren in the palace. Moreover, if the miscellaneous family has not completed the entrustment, they still have to make meritorious contributions, so they should not be said to be cold. Although he was a little moved, Gao Qiqian was still a little undecided.

Tian Ergeng would not let him back down so easily, these stewards and eunuchs in the palace are intertwined in the palace and have deep connections.

Today there will be a high dive, tomorrow there will be another Wang dive, and the day after tomorrow there will be another Zhao dive.

If this continues, the reform of his imperial village will continue. Even if he can resist it himself, can his subordinates withstand it? Can the subordinates of the subordinates bear it?

For now, the plan is to put a fire in the palace first, and quickly complete the restructuring of the imperial village while these servants have no time to take care of others.

Tian Ergeng just laughed for a moment, and then said mockingly: "The cold people in the eyes of these people may not be loyal ministers who kill their relatives in the eyes of His Majesty. Besides, His Majesty is benevolent by nature, and after ascending the throne, he has not cleaned up the yamen in the palace on a large scale. The old people in the palace occupied the chief eunuchs everywhere, but the old people in the palace of the king got a few idle jobs to stay. There are only a few positions in the inner court, and if the old man does not retreat, how can you get on the throne? ”

Gao Qiqian sobered up like an initiation, indeed, instead of begging Wang Chengen to persuade His Majesty to let him take someone's position, it is better to let people vacate the position first, and he who has merit in hand, is he still afraid that he will not be able to compete with others.

In just a moment, Gao Qiqian had already thought about how to sue in front of Chongzhen and pull the two stewards and eunuchs off the horse.

After thinking about it, Gao Qiqian picked up the tea bowl and thanked him, and the two looked at each other and smiled, no longer talking about the topic just now.

When the two continued to chat, Lu Shan, the chief flag outside the door, came to report that Ye Qi had already brought it, and Tian Ergeng waved his hand to let Lu Shan bring Ye Qi up.

When Ye Qi, who was walking slowly on the hill, was pulled back by Lu Shan, who came in a hurry, he was still a little unclear.

But when he walked into the compound and saw the prisoner cart parked in the middle of the courtyard, his mood suddenly became a little excited.

In the living room, after Ye Qi finished saluting Tian Ergeng and Gao Qi. Gao Qiqian asked a few carefully, and Ye Qi answered them one by one very smoothly about the questions in the addendum to the reform of Huangzhuang.

After Gao Qiqian confirmed that Ye Qi was indeed the author of the addendum, he summoned the entourage outside the door and took two things from the carriage.

He took a wooden plate covered with brocade from his entourage, and then said cordially to Ye Qi, who was kneeling on the ground: "Your Majesty is very happy after reading the addendum to the reform of Huangzhuang. Originally, I wanted to summon you, but now you are only a white body, and it would be a violation of etiquette for His Majesty to summon you.

And the reform of the Huangzhuang has not been completed, and you still need to work hard here, so Your Majesty has to give up this idea. However, His Majesty asked the miscellaneous family to tell you that he had already written down your name, and when the opportunity came in the future, he would invite you to Beijing to meet you. ”

Ye Qi was both frightened and dazed, and he was also very excited, he leaned down with a red face and said: "How is the villain's cheap name worthy of His Majesty's concern, villain..."

Looking at Ye Qi, who was scratching his ears and cheeks and didn't know what to say, Gao Qiqian just laughed and didn't care.

A somewhat abnormal person like Ye Qi who rejoiced because of the emperor's sudden favor, as a eunuch in the palace, he had seen a lot, and Ye Qi's performance was no different from others.

Gao Qiqian lifted the red brocade on the wooden plate in his hand, sent it forward, and said: "Your Majesty praised you for the good writing of the Huangzhuang Reform Tych Addendum, so it was decided to promote you to the Jinyi Guard, reward you with the post of general flag, and allow you to perform special work, in addition to a set of books." ”

After hearing the special folding, Tian Ergeng understood why Gao Qiqian would be so enthusiastic about a Jinyi guard who had just been promoted to the general banner.

Although there are many Jinyi guards in the capital, those who can enjoy the power of special folding and performing affairs are basically a few commanders.

"Your Majesty's affection for Ye Qi is not light." Tian Ergeng thought with some jealousy.

"Books?" Ye Qi felt a little unreal, and took the wooden plate in Gao Qiqian's hand, which contained a set of official uniforms and a waist card. When Gao Qiqian said the last sentence, he subconsciously asked.

Gao Qiqian asked kindly, "Are you literate?" ”

Ye Qi replied with a suppressed emotion: "The villain has learned big characters for a few years, but he has never really entered the school. ”

Gao Qiqian took the second wooden plate from the hand of his entourage, then handed it to him and said: "Your Majesty said that most of the suggestions in your addendum are very good, but this calculation of measuring acres and how to distribute them is quite wrong. Therefore, Your Majesty has specially rewarded you with 6 volumes of the Geometry Originals for you to study. Your Majesty has a word, it doesn't matter if you don't understand it now, when it's over, you can go to Yenching University to study from scratch. Now that you know how to read, it's much better, and you don't have to start learning from literacy. ”

"Yenching University?" This time, Tian Ergeng was a little confused.

Gao Qiqian glanced at him, and explained casually: "It's the former Beijing Guozijian." ”

Although in the eyes of the scholars, Guozijian is not a good place, but compared to a Zhuang guest at the lowest level of the Ming Dynasty, this is already an unattainable glory. Looking at Ye Qi's excited thanks, Tian Ergeng couldn't help but feel that His Majesty treated a Zhuang guest so much, which seemed to be a bit excessive.

However, this is not the end, after watching Ye Qi's emotions calm down, Gao Qiqian said to Tian Ergeng and Ye Qi again: "Your Majesty also has an edict to tell the two of you that the reform affairs of Huangzhuang are now divided into two parts: one is to clean up the crimes of the management personnel of Huangzhuang, carry out trials, and prevent excessive situations in the restructuring, and Tian Baihu is responsible.

The second is to communicate with the villagers, persuade them to accept the changes in the restructuring, and organize the management bodies of each village, which is in charge of Ye Qi. The entire restructuring work is mainly based on Tian Baihu, with Ye Qi as the deputy, if the two have different opinions, they can be decided by me. ”
