Chapter 571: Back to the big tree to enjoy the shade
Chapter 571
After finishing what he had to say, Erye Jiang looked at Master Zhang with burning eyes. If Jiang stayed here, he would definitely give her father's expression and action a voice very accurately:
Sir, do it!
Zhang Wenjiang also accurately received Jiang Feng's unfinished words, and said with a smile, "This government knows, let's go."
"Yes." Jiang Erye then left Jingzhao Mansion with satisfaction and returned to his old nest in Xicheng.
After Jiang Feng left, Zhou Qiwen sent the several volumes of "Historical Records" he mentioned to Zhang Wenjiang's table, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency, with the help of Lord Jiang, is a tiger with wings, which is gratifying."
Jiang Feng came back from the former saint and would only tell Zhang Wenjiang what Long Live asked and how he answered. This time, he took the initiative to mention what books Wan Sui had taken from the library and who he had summoned to discuss matters. Although Zhang Wenjiang will know these news sooner or later, but if he knows it early, he will have the upper hand. Zhang Wenjiang opened the "Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin", and his mind was like a mirror, "He was afraid that Li Zhaozhou, the minister of households, would be the first to do it."
Zhou Qiwen said with a smile, "Your Excellency really knows the thoughts of Lord Jiang."
Zhang Wenjiang turned a page of the book and hummed proudly, "He has all his thoughts written on his face, who can hide it."
Taifu Yinqian will be appointed to office within three or two years. At that time, a seat will be vacant in the cabinet. Those who are qualified to compete for this position are the six ministers, the minister of nine temples, the imperial censor and Zhang Wenjiang. Looking at the current court, in addition to him, there are Li Zhaozhou, Minister of Household, Liang Xiuming, Minister of Industry, Ding Haiquan, Minister of Personnel, Xiao Junping, Minister of Dali Temple, and Jing Jiliang, the official of the Censor. But Jing Jiliang has no intention of entering the pavilion, so his opponents are actually only four.
Liang Xiuming voted for Qin Tianye, Li Zhaozhou went the way of Duke Huguo, Xiao Junping and Ding Haiquan had a very close personal relationship and went together, so on the surface, he was the weakest one.
Liu Cheng was among the servants of the Ministry of Household and was widely used by Li Zhaozhou. Once Li Zhaozhou entered the cabinet, Liu Cheng's worth would also rise, and it would not be difficult to find a job as a minister of households. The Ministry of Household is in charge of the household registration, finance and taxation of the world, and it is the fat water yamen. Once Liu Cheng takes the seat of the servant of the Ministry of Household, it will be difficult for Jiang Feng to deal with him again.
Actually, going the way of Duke Huguo or Qin Xiang seems to have a chance of winning, but you have lost your heart. Long live the elders who are loyal to the court, not Kang Zhong and Qin Tianye. With Zhang Wenjiang's ability, Jiang Feng's good popularity and good luck, and the good use of the criminal evidence collected by An Yunchang of officials in the DPRK and China, Zhang Wenjiang admitted that he was 60% sure. Staring at the four words "Tai Shi Gong Yue" on the book, Zhang Wenjiang showed a smile of determination.
After entering the cabinet, it is possible to confer the title of Hou and the Prime Minister, and he will also show his grand plans and leave his name in the annals of history.
Zhou Qiwen was also happy for Lord Fu Yin. He analyzed the current situation, "Master Xiao has been pushing for the reopening of the Suzhou case for many years. If he enters the cabinet, it is imperative to restart the case. Because of this, Qin Xiang will definitely prevent Master Xiao from entering the cabinet. And Duke Protector may give Lord Xiao a high opinion because of this. In your opinion, when will this Suzhou case be reopened?"
The Suzhou case, which caused the fire in the Ministry of Punishment, was the first cancer in the Dazhou officialdom, and it was a thorn in the hearts of Kang'an officials and even Dazhou officials. When the fire case of the Ministry of Punishment was "solved", everyone thought it was time to pull a stab, but it was delayed until now. Zhou Qiwen originally believed that the thorn would definitely be removed, but now he can't help but be puzzled and impatient.
Zhang Wenjiang turned over a page of the book and said calmly, "It depends on what the emperor means."
If the emperor does not make up his mind to get rid of his uncle, he will not reopen the Suzhou case. Removing Qin Tianye would not only remove the shackles for the emperor, but also break an arm, so until the emperor has three heads and six arms, Qin Tianye will not be touched. Qin Tianye will not sit still, this is a contest between Wan Sui and Qin Ye.
What Zhang Wenjiang can do is to slowly grow into a trusted arm in the eyes of the emperor without causing Qin Tianye to be alert. Thinking of this, Zhang Wenjiang was both alert and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
Just like Qin Tianye's Household Department, Du Hai'an's Punishment Department, and Huang Tong's Military Department, he couldn't let go of Jingzhao Mansion after he joined the cabinet, because this was his foundation. At that time, who should he give Jingzhao Mansion to, Zhao Demin or... Jiang Feng?
Zhao Demin can only be a deputy, if Jiang Feng is a positive, he has to be assigned a few good helpers. Zhang Wenjiang asked Zhou Qiwen, "How old is Liao Chuanrui this year?"
Zhou Qiwen smiled and said, "He will be twenty-two years old, do you want him to do it next year?"
Liao Chuanrui was from Xiangyi, Gyeonggi. Zhang Wenjiang saved his life when he visited Gyeonggi, and Liao Chuanrui joined Zhang Wenjiang. This person is well-known and strong in memory, with outstanding ability, and is a talent cultivated by Zhang Wenjiang.
Zhang Wenjiang nodded, "Let him prepare to participate in the autumn festival next year. If he goes well, he can enter the Xicheng Yamen to work after the palace examination in the next year."
Xicheng Yamen? Not Jingzhao Mansion? Zhou Qiwen was stunned before he understood what Lord Fu Yin meant, "Does Lord Fu Yin want to put Liao Chuanrui next to Lord Jiang?"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Wenjiang asked.
"...Liao Chuanrui has an ordinary appearance, so I'm afraid he won't catch the eyes of Lord Jiang."
Crack! Zhang Wenjiang clenched his fists, "If you can't get in, you have to get in!"
"Ah!"
Jiang Erye sneezed as soon as he entered the gate of Xicheng Bingmasi. The officer at the yamen hurriedly stepped forward to help his family to keep out the wind, "It's going to snow today, sire, come into the house to have a fire and have a cup of hot tea."
Jiang Erye nodded and stepped into the inner hall. Waiting in the room, Uncle Qiu brought a cup of hot tea and said with a smile, "What book did the second master borrow from the palace?"
Jiang Erye held the tea and shook his head, "Big brother borrowed it, I didn't look closely."
Uncle Qiu…
"I went to see Lord Fu Yin." Jiang Erye held the tea and looked at the rafters on the roof in a trance. Although Zhang Wenjiang is sly, timid and afraid of things, he is not bad, and he is not bad for himself. As early as when Jiang Erye handed over the letterbox that An Yunchang had kept to Zhang Wenjiang, he had already placed his treasure on Zhang Wenjiang. Zhang Wenjiang's entry into the cabinet did not harm the Jiang family.
Uncle Qiu knew what the second master was worried about, and warmly persuaded, "Li Zhaozhou tried to have both sides, but in the end, the bamboo basket was probably a waste of water."
"It's not that simple." Jiang Erye frowned and stared at the ugliest one in the rafters, thinking about when to replace it, "Li Zhaozhou's move must have another mystery, you sent someone to keep an eye on him and Liu. Commit."
"Yes." Uncle Qiu responded.
Jiang Erye stretched his waist, "Monkey, go and find out what Master Xiao, Master Gu and Master Tao have been busy with these few days, and I will personally go and send New Year gifts to several adults."
"Yes." Jiang Hou'er took the order and walked quickly.
Linger is right, in order to have a better chance of winning, why not help Lord Fu Yin to move around? Backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade, after the Governor-General enters the pavilion, he can stay in the West City Bing Ma Si Yamen in a down-to-earth manner.
Even if you lose this bet, there is no harm in having a good relationship with a few adults. It is better to have a few big trees to enjoy the shade, right? After figuring this out, Jiang Erye stretched his waist and instructed, "Bao'er, my shoulders are uncomfortable."
"I'll rub it for you, little one." Jiang Bao immediately rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to rub the shoulders of the second master. Uncle Qiu couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Hou'er, who had just left, turned back again, "Second Master, the Wang family's carriage has entered Huijiafang and is heading towards our house."
