Chapter 224: Li Mo

"I know," Yan Song pointed to the note and said: "But the last three words are clearly speaking, but what should be done specifically, and we have to listen to our opinions, so I asked, 'How should it be'?" ”

"No, no, no." Yan Shifan's eyes flashed and said: "The word 'Yi' is not 'suitable', but refers to a person's name. ”

"Who?"

"Yang Yi." Yan Shifan was very sure: "It must be him." ”

"Yang Yi ......" Yan Ge couldn't think of such a person for a while, but after being reminded by Yan Shifan, he remembered the governor of Henan who had just been promoted to the right attendant of Nanjing's household department because of his meritorious service in the treatment of thieves, and couldn't help muttering: "Yang Yi seems to have just arrived in office...... The constitution is like a hurry, isn't it appropriate not to be fast? ”

"I asked Chen Hong, who delivered the letter." Yan Shifan sneered: "Father, do you know who Your Majesty saw this afternoon?" ”

"Who?" Yan Song's shou eyebrows trembled slightly.

"Li Mo Li Shiyan." Yan Shifan said in a deep voice.

"What? This one is back? Yan Song stood up excitedly, and accidentally pulled the chrysanthemum door, making him sweat profusely. Yan Shifan hurriedly rubbed his father's sweat, and it took a while to ease up.

Yan Ge is seventy or eighty years old, and there are many enemies who have given him headaches in this life, but basically they have all been killed by him, or relied on death. However, there are always exceptions to everything, and there are still three or two kittens that are still alive, and the one that most resembles a tiger is Li Mo and Li Shiyan, whom the emperor just met today.

What kind of sacredness is this person who can make Yan Ge Lao have such a headache? You might as well take a look at his resume, he is a native of Ouning, a Jinshi in Zhengde for 18 years, a Shujishi, and the head of the household department after the disbandment, and a member of the military department. The Ministry of Officials, the history of the seal Langzhong. At that time, the Heavenly Master Shao Yuanjie was lucky, please seal the edict, but he did not accept it, so that Shao Tianshi had to give up...... It can be seen that he is a person who is not afraid of the powerful and adheres to principles.

Further down the ...... In the eleventh year of Jiajing, he was the examiner of the martial arts examination. and the banquet department, tacitly according to the guest seat, and want to sit above the Shangshu Wang Xian. The impeachment of the constitution is not inferior, and the country knows the same. It can be seen that this person's surname is a little shallow and there is no one in his eyes.

offended a high-ranking official in Shangshu, with a hat that was not inferior, and was demoted from the central government to the locality, many people felt that his career was basically over, and he would wait for the outside to be rich.

But continue to look down, you will find that one miracle after another was born, he first spent a few years, repeatedly moved to Zhejiang Zuobu political envoy, became Taichangqing, and completed the counteroffensive from the local to the central. In this position, he showed his magical energy for the first time, and even broke the historical convention, so that the doctors and professors who taught under him could participate in the selection of the imperial history of science and technology, which created a precedent and was continued.

Then he successively served as the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Officials, and was directly promoted to the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials. This is another amazing miracle, because the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion, appointment and dismissal of hundreds of officials, and among its authority, it ranks first among the six departments. Therefore, this position has never been directly promoted by the head of the headquarters, in order to prevent him from forming a gang and stealing the authority of the lord to dedicate himself. Only Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai in the early years of Zhengde were attached to Liu Jin to do it.

But Li Mo was able to break the precedent that since Jiazi, the servants of the Ministry of Officials were not promoted to the Shangshu, and in the thirtieth year of Jiajing, the emperor was appointed as the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, which is simply like divine help. Of course, there is no god in this world, only nobles, Li Mo's nobleman is the only time he served as the examiner of the martial arts examination, one of the students he selected, this student's surname is Lu Mingbing, the word is Wenming, and he is the brother of the current emperor, and the big head of Jinyiwei is also.

Lu Bing did his best to treat this teacher as a disciple and often said good things for him in front of the emperor. Therefore, although Li Mo's measurement is not large, his temper is not good, and his relationship with Yan Party is very bad, when officials are appointed and dismissed, he often disagrees with Yan Song, and even has repeated conflicts, but he can be safe and sound for many years.

Later, Yan Song easily found an opportunity to defeat him, but he didn't know that less than a year had passed, and he was specially commissioned and reinstated as the secretary of the ministry. There is no need to guess, this is another good thing that his 'noble protΓ©gΓ©' did.

Now Li Mo is making a comeback, and as soon as he arrived in the capital, he gave Yan Dang a slap in the face, obviously announcing to Yan Song - Lao Tzu is back again, your good life is over.

"What the hell is Lu Bing doing?" Yan Shifan was also very frightened by Li Mo's difficult ghost, and couldn't help but be annoyed. As soon as this guy came back, he had no fear, and he must have had Lu Bing's support to dare to do this.

Elder Yan Ge pondered for a long time and asked softly, "How is his current holy family?" ”

"The emperor praised him, kept him to eat, and gave the imperial book a praise with the word 'loyalty', and ordered him to enter the West Garden, and allowed him to ride a horse inside." Yan Shifan said indignantly: "I think Lu Bing is taking revenge on Shen Lian for that incident. ”

"Whatever it is for." Yan Song shook his head and said, "We can't move him now, let alone Lu Bing." ”

"Daddy." Yan Shifan was dissatisfied: "Even if you can't move Lu Bing, you can't let Li Mo be arrogant?" Don't forget, next year will be the Year of Bingchen! Look outside! ”

Yan Song was unmoved and said: "Li Mo has Lu Bing's backing, and he is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, and now the Heavenly King Lao Tzu can't move him." As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and said, "Son, bear with me, with his surname, sooner or later he will make a mistake, and ...... then."

Yan Shifan had no choice but to give up, looked at the front of him and said, "What should I do with this concerto?" I'm still waiting for a reply outside. ”

"You can do it yourself......" Yan Ge Lao finished speaking and fell into a deep sleep.

Yan Shifan muttered, so he had to write with a pen: "The minister Yan Shifan writes on behalf of his father, and returns to the saint: Zhou Fu should be dismissed, and the vacancy should be filled by Yang Yi." ”

The piece was handed over, and the emperor immediately approved it, proving that he was not right at all.

The intrigue of Yanjing City, it will take some time to reach Hangzhou City, at least the army will drive the Japanese out of Zhejiang, and when the class teacher returns to the city, Hu Zongxian is still dreaming of the governor, and said to Shen Mo: "When you are admitted to the Jinshi, I will ask Your Majesty to come back and be the governor of Zhejiang." ’

Silent smiled: "Don't say it, the champion of the family has only awarded the Sixth Rank Hanlin Academy to revise, and the Lord will directly promote the lower official to the fourth grade, I am afraid that he will be hated to death." ”

Hu Zongxian didn't think about it and said: "It's a mediocre talent not to be envied, besides, I was directly promoted from the seventh-rank patrol to the fourth-grade governor, and you are also a patrolling now, why can't you?" ”

Shen Mo waved his hand and said with a smile: "My lord is a servant of Jian Zai's heart, so naturally it is a different matter. ”

"Aren't you Jane in the Emperor's Heart?" Hu Zongxian laughed. At this time, the cold wind blew, and his heart, which was a little out of tune because of the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish, finally calmed down. also felt that it was a little unreliable to let a person who was less than twenty years old become the governor of a province, so he smiled dryly: "Even if the governor is a little difficult, the prefect is always fine." ”

Silent said, 'That's not all, just demote me two levels first.' But he also knew that this person could share weal and woe, not wealth and prosperity, and he should not expect him to help himself at a critical moment.

When he returned to Hangzhou City, he couldn't rest, so he sent Tiezhu to inform Mrs. Wa and the two old Pengs, and asked them to send some people to go with him to the treasury to receive food.

With the governor's approval, coupled with the fierce gods and evil wolves and local soldiers, the treasurer's officials did not dare to take Qiao, nor did they dare to play tricks, and obediently delivered a full amount of silver taels and a sufficient amount of grain and grass...... In the afternoon, Shen Mo slowly came out of the city with a team transporting grain, grass and silver, first to Mrs. Wa, then to Peng Xinchen, and finally to Peng Mingfu.

When he arrived at Peng Mingfu's place, the elder Peng had to pull Shen Mo to eat tea, but this time it was neither tea nor oil tea soupβ€”but a bowl of honey water, in which were placed four boiled and peeled mountain eggs, each with a delicate silver toothpick. The eggs are dipped in honey water, and they look shiny and very attractive.

"What's that called?" Lao Peng is here again.

"The circle is complete." Silent laughter. He knew that this was the highest tea ceremony among the four tea courses of the Tujia family, and it was the highest etiquette to welcome distinguished guests such as elders.

He ate all four eggs and the tea soup in one go, then took out a golden coin from his bosom and placed it in the empty tea bowl...... This is not the meaning of giving money for tea, but the meaning of receiving the other person's respect and returning the gift with happiness and abundance.

Seeing the silent expression, the last doubt in Peng Mingfu's heart also went, and he said loudly: "Celebrate with a banquet!" In the cheers of the crowd, he and Peng Xinchen caught Shen Mo left and right and pulled him into the big tent.

This time, I don't eat tea, but a traditional Tujia feast, in addition to buttoning pork, there are eight kinds of buttoned dishes such as steamed pork, buttoned meat cake, buttoned balls, buttoning pig's tongue, ears, etc., there is also a stir-fried dish and several soup dishes.

Stir-fried vegetables are mixed together with more than ten kinds of vegetables, and are served on a super large plate, although there is only one, it is comparable to the amount of seven or eight ordinary dishes, so it is called the first dish. Most of the soup dishes are all kinds of hot pots, such as pork pots, mutton pots, chicken pots, duck pots, fish pots and other meat pots. A kind of meat is a 'head', and the more 'heads' it means that there are more meat dishes and the higher the grade of the banquet.

And there are sixteen heads at this table banquet, and in this way, Peng Mingfu has been chanting: 'Poor hospitality'.

Shen Mo wanted to pick up Ah Man today, but seeing this posture, he must have been drunk, so he had to give up.
