Chapter 208: The old man comes back

Daju Hutong, Yang Bo Mansion.

Yang Bo's youngest son Yang Junqing and his nephew Yang Sihe were directing the people in and out of the house to pack all the decorations in the house.

In the study, Yang Bo only asked Zhang Siwei to help him clean up. His four treasures in the study, various cultural relics, especially the books in the bookshelves, were many of them rare books and refused to use them as their subordinates.

"Why should my uncle do this kind of thing?" Zhang Siwei followed the instructions and packed the books one by one, then numbered them, and then packed them.

"Every time I move, I will throw books away. Most of them are the result of the servants not understanding it and throwing them around." Yang Bo wore reading glasses and looked through an ancient book, "For example, this Song-style book "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu" was thrown into the box of "Tongjian" by them back then. I thought Zhao Liben had gone there. If it weren't for this move, how could he have lost it again?"

As he watched, he was attracted by the book "Youyang Miscellaneous Zu", and smiled at Zhang Siwei, "This story is fun. The little girl named Ye Xian must be born with a golden lotus, otherwise how could she be the only one who could wear that golden shoe?"

Zhang Siwei sighed secretly when she heard this. Seeing Yang Bo's leisurely look, she seemed to have entered a retirement state.

He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't need to move all my belongings away. I'll have someone come to clean it up from time to time. After a year or two, you'll be back."

"I won't come back." Yang Bo waved his hand, put the book aside, and prepared to read it on the way. "I passed the Jinshi at the age of 20 and have been a cattle and horse for the Tian family for forty years. It's time to go home to enjoy my old age."

"Uncle, you said at the beginning that you were going to give Gao Xinzheng a big gift, so you just retreated for a while!" Zhang Siwei couldn't help but be surprised and said, "How could Gao Xinzheng not be able to recover you in the future? Then will he still be a human being?"

"I have asked him to meet him in Zhengding Mansion, have a good chat with him, and ask him to let me go under the forest, so that no more old sheep can be grabbed." Yang Bo shook his head and said with a very firm attitude.

"This..." Zhang Siwei's expression was suffocated. The tree that had been shaded for many years suddenly disappeared. He couldn't help but feel panic. "Didn't you bear to abandon us?"

"Hey, isn't it just like this for generations?" Yang Bo smiled and comforted him, "Young Master Zhao said, 'There are talents in the country, and they are all leading the way for hundreds of years.' You must also have this courage. Besides, with Lao Wang, Lao Huo and your uncle, you really can't stand it. Can you still ask them for advice?"

After a pause, he said earnestly: "But their career is almost over, so you have to take the last idea yourself. You have to support our Shanxi people!"

"Yes, uncle." Zhang Siwei gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Don't be too nervous. This time I left will be of great benefit to you." Yang Bo smiled and said, "I have helped you get the favors I asked Mr. Zhao to snatch away before. Whether it is the emperor or Gao Xinzheng, I have to take my affection and cultivate you well."

"Uncle..." Zhang Siwei's eyes were slightly red. Yang Bo was better than his father to him than to be a father. "This kind of kindness is really incomparable."

"Don't repay me, just repay your successor. Haven't our Shanxi Gang come here like this? Just our poor and bad waters are broken, can we not join the group to conquer the world?" Yang Bo whispered:

"I didn't communicate with Zhang Taiyue about the retirement this time, and even Gao Xinzheng was kept in the dark."

"Ah?" Zhang Siwei was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking. "Why is this?" Doing good deeds without leaving a name for it? That's not the style of Shanxi people.

"Don't worry about Gao Xinzheng. I didn't offer him any conditions. He would definitely appreciate this gift. Besides, Your Majesty knows everything and will tell him the truth in person. In this way, if Gao Xinzheng wants to turn against us Shanxi in the future, he has to consider whether he will seem ruthless and unrighteous in His Majesty's heart."

Yang Bo stood up with his knees on his hands and said, "Besides, Zhang Taiyue will definitely have thorns in his heart. He is not only dissatisfied with us, but also with Gao Xinzheng."

As he said that, he smiled faintly and said, "Zhang Taiyue is extremely smart, but he wants to go to Jiutian and Jiuya, but he can't understand why I am not in charge of the Heavenly Office, and he also paves the way for Gaoxinzheng."

Then Yang Bo whispered softly: "He is too conceited. Such a person will never trust his own judgment and will never ask the parties for verification. Gao Xinzheng is not so careless and will not explain to him actively. The two will definitely have a rift."

As he said that, he laughed at himself, showing a lonely expression of "there are talents in the generations of the country" and said: "Actually, they are both heroic. Even if I don't do this, I will have a freak sooner or later."

"My nephew understand..." Zhang Siwei said suddenly:

"Uncle's move made Gao Xinzheng and Zhang Taiyue feel rifty. But here, my uncle sacrificed himself without asking for rewards. It goes without saying who Gao Xinzheng is close to whom he depends on whom he is far away."

"Not bad." Yang Bo nodded in approval and said, "Gao Gong will treat you as his own people. With him blocking the wind and rain, your life will be easy."

As he said that, he looked at Zhang Siwei with expectations and said, "Gao Xinzheng will give you favors. In addition, the future peace talks will be a master. In a few years, we Shanxi people can finally get a chance to have a chance."

"Uncle is so smart, really good!" Zhang Siwei couldn't help but give a thumbs up and sighed in his heart. He didn't know when he could reach Yang Bo's level.

"By the way, uncle, will that boy named Zhao be in a quarrel?" he asked with some concern.

"No." Yang Bo shook his head and said, "Don't you see it yet? That boy is all about doing maritime trade, making a fortune, and managing his 100-point land in Jiangnan. At least in a short time, he will not have any conflicts with us."

"What about the future?" Zhang Siwei asked.

"Future?" Yang Bo hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "Who knows what's going on in the future?"

~~

On the first day of July, the capital, the east pavilion of the Forbidden City was held as scheduled.

The result was no surprise. Gao Gong finally received enough votes and was first recommended by the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of Personnel.

In addition, Zhao Zhenji, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, was also elected as the candidate for the Grand Secretary. It is said that Li Ge Lao and Chen Ge Lao made great efforts in this matter.

Li Chunfang and Zhao Zhenji are fellow students of Xinxue, and Chen Ge Lao and Zhao Zhenji have a more friendly relationship. They had wanted to carry him into the cabinet before, but this matter had to be approved before they were counted.

If my Master Gao doesn't come back, no one of you will ever enter the cabinet...

So Zhao Zhenji's entry into the cabinet has been delayed again and again, and this time he can finally solve it with Gao Gong.

At least it can be in the cabinet and has multiple hands.

"If you fight, you won't suffer any loss..." Mr. Li mocked Mr. Chen.

What the two of them never expected was that this joke came true later. Although it was not the two of them who fought, it was correct to fight with Gao Bei...

~~

Ganqing Palace.

Emperor Longqing came down from the morning court without even taking off his leather suit, and paced back and forth in the East Warehouse, anxiously waiting for the result of the court push.

Although he was very sure, he was afraid. In the end, he didn't know if something would happen!

Teng Xiang, who was serving by his side, was also urged by him to go out to investigate over and over again so that the news could be sent in as soon as possible.

In fact, there is no need to go out to see Teng Xiang. Chen Hong, who was not on duty, was stretching his neck to guard the Ganqing Gate.

Wait, wait, wait, until the Western newspaper clock of the Ganqing Palace rang ten times in a row. Chen Hong, who was guarding the Ganqing Gate, finally saw the little eunuch sent to the cabinet to work, running towards him.

"Long live the emperor, I'm so happy!" As soon as the little eunuch ran into the Ganqing Gate, he shouted excitedly at the Ganqing Palace.

"What are you shouting? Are there any rules?" But a sinister sound came from beside you.

The little eunuch was licked by a poisonous snake and immediately stood there. Then he turned his head with difficulty and squeezed out a smile that was even worse than crying and said, "Three, Three Ancestors, long live the young one..."

"When can I stand and talk to our house?" Chen Hong snorted coldly, "I think you still haven't heard our house clearly."

The little eunuch was shocked, and quickly knelt on his knees, raised his hand high and wrote a memorial with a ticket in his hand, saying: "Long live the three ancestors!"

"Hmph." Chen Hong then stretched out his hand, took the memorial book, and did not let him get up, so he went straight into the Ganqing Palace.

He was about to walk to the east warmhouse, but he heard the teasing voice of the eunuch Teng Xiang, the eunuch of Sili, coming from behind the curtain.

"Eunuch Chen is so angry, but it depends on the owner to beat a dog."

Chen Hong cursed inwardly, and hurriedly smiled and said, "I don't know that kid is the eldest brother's person."

"The godson I just accepted." Teng Xiang walked out slowly, but his eyes were staring at the memorial in his hand.

Chen Hong had no choice but to hand it to him. But he cursed in his heart, "You can't even take away the opportunity to announce the good news!"

~~

Hearing the rapid footsteps, Longqing held his breath, turned to look at the door, and saw Teng Xiang rushing in panting.

In fact, it was only about ten steps from where he ambushed Chen Hong to the entrance of the warm-up hall. It was hard for Eunuch Chen to be so ecstatic.

"How is it?" Long Qing was thinking about the book, how could he notice his trick?

"Congratulations to Your Majesty for congratulating Your Majesty. Master Gao is expected to return and can make a comeback!" Eunuch Teng cried with joy.

"Okay!" Long Qing took a quick step, picked up the memorial and saw it, and it got what he wanted. He was also happy and red in his eyes.

"Okay, okay, I can finally see Master Gao again!"

He immediately walked to the imperial case with the memorial, and raised the red pen and wrote it down in person:

‘He wrote Gao Gong as Minister of Personnel and Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall.

Zhao Zhenji was appointed as Minister of Rites and Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion.’

In order to prevent the Sixth Corridor from interfering, after criticizing the red and using seals, Longqing immediately sent an envoy to leave Beijing and pass the imperial edict.

The eight hundred miles away from the city of Beijing was sent to the Ministry of Personnel and the decree was conveyed to the Sixth Corridor.

Sure enough, Zheng Dajing, the chief minister of the official department, immediately expressed his intention to return the imperial edict on the grounds of violating the rules.

However, the eunuch who came to deliver the memorial told them sarcastically that it was too late and the decree had already been out of hundreds of miles!

Liukelang was immediately struck by lightning, and many people burst into tears and then resigned on the spot.
Chapter completed!
