Daimyo's Mansion, Hebei East Road Transit Envoy.

Since the beginning of this year, among the high-ranking officials at the level of envoys serving in the Daimyo's Mansion, some people are really happy and some are worried. Huanxi, of course, is Han Zhongyan, the old party boss who knows the affairs of the Daimyo's mansion.

His youngest daughter has just married Wu Haowen, who is the sixth in Jinshi this year - he is eighteen years old, and he is the sixth Jinshi in high school, and he is also the younger brother of Wu Haogu, the henchman of the official family, and the future is really immeasurable! At the same time as getting Chenglong's fast son-in-law, the imperial court's Xuanma edict was also sent to the Daimyo's mansion, and the servants were summoned to worship the servants with the official department.

This is a vice-minister!

The name of the deputy minister of the Song Dynasty was very chaotic, and after the reform of Yuanfeng, he generally took the four official positions of the subordinate servant, the Zhongshu squire, the Shangshu Zuocheng, and the Shangshu Youcheng as the deputy minister. At the same time, the two official positions of Menxia Shilang and Zhongshu Shilang were added to the official positions of the Prime Minister and the Second Minister, respectively called Shangshu Left Servant Shooting and Menxia Shilang and Shangshu Right Servant Shooting and Zhongshu Shilang.

In other words, if the prime minister is full, there will be two prime ministers and four deputy ministers, for a total of six. Coupled with the prefect of the Privy Council and the same prefect, there are more than a dozen people who can be summoned together, which is quite lively.

And Han Zhongyan's deputy prime minister, everyone knows that he can't do it for a few days, because he is now a prosperous official. Two months later, at most, it will be time to go one step further and worship the right servant of Shangshu and the servant of Zhongshu.

It is estimated that by the end of the year, he will be Xuanma three times in a year, and he will be the left servant and the servant of the door! I couldn't be more happy!

And there are a few officials who are worried in the Daimyo's Mansion.

Zhang Shangying, the newly appointed Hebei East Road transfer envoy, is a worried official. Although he was also sent by the Bo Division of Jiehe City, it has been almost six months since he took office in the first month, and he has not even been to Cangzhou, but he is just staying in the Daimyo's Mansion and watching the changes in Kaifeng Mansion with all his might. Since the Empress Dowager came to the court, the market of the New Party has fallen sharply, making Zhang Shangying, who has always been short-tempered and likes to scold people, become a little silent.

"Envoy, Wu Haogu has arrived in Jiehe Shang City, and he has met with Ma Zhi, the deputy patrol envoy of the Liao Nanjing Provincial Police on the other side of the river, for a few days, and the two of them are very warm."

It was Ji Yi who spoke, he is now a judicial officer in Cangzhou, and his own government office is in Qingchi County, Cangzhou Prefecture. However, he is not a person who can be a sesame official with peace of mind, and only a few days after taking office, he found an excuse to come to the Daimyo's Mansion. He is the official in charge of the judicial prison in a state (in charge of the army with the manager), and when he arrives at the Daimyo's mansion, he should also go to the prison department of the punishment point, but he plunged into Zhang Shangying's Caosi Yamen and started a small report of Wu Haogu.

He and Wu Haogu have known each other for a long time, and he also arranged for Mo Niangzi to enter the core of the Republic, and he was a shareholder of the Republic (Christie's) earlier, so he naturally knew the special relationship between Wu Haogu and Ma Zhi, and also knew some of Wu Haogu's plans.

However, he did not entrust these to Zhang Shangying, but chose to make a small report and squeeze the toothpaste little by little.

The small report is actually not very popular in the officialdom, but the small report of Ji Yi fighting Wu Haogu is taken for granted in Zhang Shangying's eyes - it is not even a small report.

If it is the other way around, Wu Haogu came to Zhang Shangying and said bad things about Ji Yi, then Zhang Daqingtian would have to make a face.

Because Wu Haogu is a military attaché, a near luck, a businessman, a villain!

Ji Yi is a tanhua, or the grandson-in-law of the "grace" Zhang Dian (for Zhang Shangying, Zhang Dian is the grace of knowledge), and Zhang Shangying is the same party, both are the aspirants of the New Party, why can't they get together and say bad things about villains?

Moreover, Wu Haogu still has the "crime" of betraying the new party and defecting to the old party, and his younger brother is now the son-in-law of the old party boss Han Zhongyan! Will Wu Haogu, the villain, not follow his younger brother's line and get on the big ship of the old party?

Well, if he is a civil official from a Jinshi, or a reincarnated general, this kind of marriage for his younger brother Zhang Luo to marry the daughter of the Han family in Xiangzhou is really not a betrayal...... Political arguments about parties, marriage is about family, this is not a problem.

The problem is that Wu Haogu is not from the right path, and he also has a bad record in business......

Zhang Shangying frowned when she heard this, and glanced at Uncle Zhang, who was sitting on the side and was just silent. Although Zhang Shuye was born in Jiangmen, because of his position on the issue of the invasion of Liao, he became a figure in the camp of the new party - if he was a figure of the old party, he would not support the invasion of Liao, and the old party was a group of big bureaucrats who wanted to live in peace and stability.

If they follow their route, Uncle Zhang's future will stop at Zhizhou, and there will never be a chance to supervise the Yan.

Zhang Shangying paused and said, "It's not a fault, right?" The Jiehe Commercial Market was originally jointly run by the two countries, and it was not wrong for Wu Haogu to interact with officials on the other side. Moreover, half of the Jiehe Commercial Market is on the other side, right? ”

Ji Yi had long known Zhang Shangying's reaction, but in fact, he didn't plan to hit it with one blow...... You can't rush for quick success and quick profit when you make a small report, you have to take your time, take a bite today, take another bite tomorrow, and it will have an effect after a long time.

However, Ji Yi still sighed and said: "The Shang City was originally established for the coming day to conquer Liao, but Wu Haogu is always a little ...... It's a bit pro-Liao. ”

Zhang Shangying's face was expressionless, he didn't have the heart to think about anything to attack Liao and pro-Liao now, and the changes in the situation in the court were the most important. Eun Sang-jang had already been impeached a few days ago! The reason was that Emperor Zhezong's hearse got stuck in muddy water on the way to the tomb of Emperor Gongyi, and it took a night to come out. It's nothing, and it's not Zhangdun pulling the car. However, the officials impeached Zhang for being disrespectful. Zuo Zhengyan Chen Qian also took the opportunity to request the removal of Zhang Dian!

This shows that the old party's counterattack has begun!

Now how to keep the phase of Zhangdun is the most important thing! Wu Haogu is not close to Liao, what does it matter? No one would send him to attack Liao anyway...... And the Great Song Dynasty doesn't know when it will put the war on the agenda.

Zhang Shangying looked at Ji Yi, but why wasn't this kid in a hurry? I don't see him thinking about his grandfather-in-law.

Is he Zhang Dan's grandson-in-law?

Of course, Ji Yi understood Zhang Shangying's thoughts, but he didn't try to break down the reason - the truth of this matter can't be said! Therefore, Zhang Dan, Zhang Yuan and Ji Yi are very tight, and until now, there is no fourth person outside the palace who knows that there is an edict of the first emperor.

Because the matter of the "edict" cannot be said, few people know what Ji Yi did in the early morning of the 14th day of the first lunar month. Zhang Dan, Zhang Yuan, and Ji Yi naturally didn't say it. And Zhao Ji also got a gag order from the Empress Dowager Xiang, so the three confidants of Wu Haogu, Gao Yu, and Pan Xiao'an were tight-lipped.

In other words, Zhang Shangying and Zhang Shuye still don't know that Ji Yi is a villain......

Ji Yi continued: "According to the investigation, the relationship between him and the Liao State Doctor Wu Lu Shan Ma family is extraordinary! His beloved concubine Ximen Qing was actually given by Ma Zhixiang of the Ma family of the medical Lushan family. ”

"How so?" Uncle Zhang interjected at this time, "Ximen Qing is from the Song Dynasty, and her family is a local tyrant in Yanggu County...... My brother Zhang Kegong knew her when she was a county lieutenant in Yanggu County. ”

Ji Yi smiled: "Zhang Jiezhong must not know the foundation of the Yanggu Ximen family, right?" ”

"What? Is there a secret in it? ”

Ji Yi nodded and said, "It's secret!" On the side of the Liao State, there is also a Ximen family, which is the retainer of the Yiwu Lushan Ma family...... The last time Xia Guan made a mission to Liao, he took a trip to Yiwu Lu Mountain under the arrangement of Ximen Qing and Ma Zhi. ”

"And this?" Uncle Zhang was taken aback.

Zhang Shangying shook his head and interrupted Ji Yi: "Remember, don't talk about this." ”

His official was much older than Uncle Zhang, and he was a member of the Zhongshu House at that time, so he naturally knew the secrets. However, the level of secrecy of this matter is very high, even if Zhang Shuye is now a doctor of the Privy Council's Military Science Department and is in charge of espionage, it seems that the level is not enough to know.

Zhang Shangying paused, and then turned the topic to Kaifeng Mansion, "Han Shipu is about to pay homage to the second minister, I'm afraid that the matter of Yuan Younian is coming again!" ”

"No," Ji Yi said with a smile, "Empress Dowager Xiang is not Empress Dowager Gao...... Either it will be back in a few months.

As for the official family, he still wants to make a contribution! ”

"Really?" Zhang Shangying looked at Ji Yi with a surprised expression on his face.

If the officials want to make meritorious contributions, then the new party has nothing to fear.

……

"Is that really what your eldest brother said?"

"Yes, father-in-law, my eldest brother just doesn't learn skills...... Shocking ideas often pop up. ”

At the same time, the people who were making a small report to Wu Haogu, in addition to Ji Yi, there was actually Wu Haowen! Wu Haogu's own brother!

He didn't mean to make trouble for his brother, but he was always troubled by his brother's grand ideal of "spreading Confucianism in all directions", so he talked to his father-in-law, Lao Taishan.

Wu Haowen's father-in-law is Han Zhongyan, and now he has returned to Kaifeng Mansion and become the deputy prime minister. And Wu Haowen, who is waiting at home, walks around to the Han Mansion every day.

"That's it," Han Zhongyan shook his head with a smile, "I shouldn't say it...... The Avenue of Communication can't be said to be wrong, but that's what the Confucians are thinking about, he didn't even get into the Jinshi, and he didn't have any books handed down, how can he say this? ”

"Oh." Wu Haowen nodded, quite teachable, "Father-in-law means that preaching is due, but it's not something my eldest brother can do, and he should let Fengxue Hongru do it." ”

"Uh......" Old man Han frowned, how can this son-in-law of his own family be so blind? This word is going to get out, and others think they are going to do it!

Hehe, the avenue of communication! This is something that only a saint can do...... I'm going to do it, do you want to be a Han Sage too?

"How can there be such a well-educated Confucian today?" Han Zhongyan immediately explained, "Even the old man doesn't have this qualification." ”

"Oh." Wu Haowenxin said: That is, you can't preach?

Han Zhongyan glanced at his suspicious son-in-law and thought: Let's arrange a position for him quickly! Don't let him spend all day figuring it out.

"Second brother," Han Zhongyan said, "You want to be a secretary and don't you want to be a secretary?" The old man will arrange it for you. ”
