Come to Daming with military supplies

The second laugh, laughing at the reaction of the ministers.

Usually they talk about how loyal they are to the emperor, but now when it comes to the issue of reputation, everyone is shy and wants to be a good person.Wouldn't it be self-deception for what you usually say?

The third smile, the one who laughs is myself.

All the ministers saw that it was not easy to express their opinions on this matter, and if they did not do it well, they would become a person who was condemned by the people in the history books, but even knowing this, he still stood up.There are really difficulties.

The news of the brave Yang Chendong came earlier than the official news from the imperial court.At the same time, there was also a letter, which explained in detail what might happen in the Northern Ming Dynasty Hall, and what Xu Youzhen should do if necessary and willing.

In the letter, Yang Chendong didn't necessarily ask Xu Youya what to do.But now that he has this letter, how dare he neglect it?

On the surface, the relationship between the two is extremely bad, and it may even be said that they are enemies.But all of this is just to deceive others. Xu Youzhen's transformation from a small censor to a giant of the Ministry of Industry is the result of Yang Chendong's secret operations.If all this is made public, Zhu Qiyu will definitely not spare himself as a person. At that time, he will lose everything he has, even his life.

Yang Chendong had no choice but to listen to his orders, but if he did what the other party said, he would become a villain who was not loyal to the emperor.How to choose is really embarrassing.

Because of the embarrassment, when Zhu Qiyu announced everyone to enter the palace, he didn't express his attitude at the first time, thinking whether he could get away with it.Unexpectedly, the emperor named Shangshu Hu, and at this moment he was pushed into a very embarrassing situation.

Hu Wei is the grandfather of Yang Chendong's wife, Hu Yan.At this moment, they went to Jianning Mansion to worship their ancestors and followed them together.If he didn't rescue Hu Min while he was in an accident, who knows what this young but bold and loyal guild will do?I'm afraid there won't be any good fruit to eat.

Extending the head is also a knife, shrinking the head is still a knife.But at least Shentou can live a good life now, not only can he do what Yang Chendong ordered, but he can also show favor to Emperor Daizong at the first time, so there seems to be no need to hesitate about how to choose.

In this way, Xu Youzhen stepped forward step by step.He lifted Zhu Qiyu high in a contrasting way, and at the same time stepped on the Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen whom he kept calling before, and degraded him as worthless.

Perhaps some of Xu Youzhen's words were true, while others were slightly exaggerated.But what is more important is his statement. He actually took that step and talked about Yingzong's badness in front of everyone. This is not what a loyal minister can do.

For a while, everyone's expressions on Xu Youzhen changed again and again.Some of them are shocked, some are angry, some are shameless, some are disdainful, some are envious and so on.

No matter how others look at Xu Youzhen, Zhu Qiyu is happy at this moment.Originally, seeing that everyone was silent, he was still full of anger. In order to prevent everyone from being in two boats, he decided to call names one by one and force everyone to express their opinions.

From Zhu Qiyu's point of view, if these courtiers don't make a statement, they have two hearts, and even hope that Zhu Qizhen can kill him back. He will become a courtier of Yingzong, so he can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.

If that's the case, one can imagine how many courtiers would be willing to do their best if one day they really had to meet Zhu Qizhen for a real chapter?What are his chances of winning?

Because of this, he had no choice but to use this matter to force the ministers to express their views.The fact was the same as the worst outcome he had imagined. Everyone kept silent. On the surface, they looked like loyal ministers, but in fact they just wanted to have both sides.

In a fit of rage, he thought about taking Hu Wei for surgery.It is precisely because of his position as a high-ranking official with great influence that he became the monkey who killed monkeys to warn them.But at this time, Xu Youzhen's sudden words relieved the tense atmosphere, as if seeing light in the dark night, Zhu Qiyu became happy.

"Xu Aiqing, Xu Aiqing has insight into the world, and what she said is reasonable." Zhu Qiyu was so happy that he even called the other party's name twice.

"Master Xu's words are reasonable, and he really spoke our mind." Jin Ying, the great eunuch standing beside Zhu Qiyu, hurriedly expressed his support to Xu Youzhen.

Different from other important ministers, as a eunuch, Jin Ying can only rely on the emperor to achieve what kind of life he can live.If something happened to Daizong, he would not be able to get a good one no matter what. If so, he had no choice but to go one way.It's just that the other courtiers didn't speak. As a eunuch, it would be unreasonable for him to express his position first, so he kept suppressing it and watched the performance of other courtiers with cold eyes.

It's all right now, Xu Youzhen stood up and said what Zhu Qiyu wanted to hear the most, he should speak out to express his position.

Following Jin Ying's statement, the other courtiers all said in unison at this moment: "Master Xu's words are reasonable, and he really spoke the words of my generation."

"Haha, okay." Zhu Qiyu was naturally very happy when the situation changed suddenly.Although he also knew that some people had to say something against their will because of the occasion, but in any case, he at least apparently won the battle first.And the key person in this victory is Xu Youzhen. Thinking that this person is so considerate of himself, he is a real loyal minister. When he is happy, he looks more and more pleasing to the eye. He is about to add Xu Youzhen as a prince and tutor, which is equivalent to a first-rank official residence.

"Xu Aiqing listens to the decree, I order you and the Ministry of Rites to be responsible for receiving Yang Shan and exalting our country's prestige!" Zhu Qiyu's voice sounded above the court hall.Xu Youzhen fell to her knees and accepted the order gratefully.At this moment, he had nowhere to go, and with what he said just now, if Yingzong really came back one day, he might end up with nothing.In a sense, he is now a grasshopper on the same rope as Daizong.

The Xiaochao meeting, which should have been tense, ended here, and Zhu Qiyu left the palace satisfied with the company of eunuch Jin Ying.The other courtiers then walked out in twos and threes.It's just obvious that Xu Youzhen, who is usually quite popular, has become a lonely family. It seems that she has some infectious disease on her body, and people can't help but stay away from her.

Chapter 348 Hu Jin's Tangle

Hu Wei, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, pondered for a moment, and finally walked to Xu Youzhen's side with square steps.Many courtiers saw this, but they all had an understanding expression. After all, if Xu Youzhen hadn't taken the initiative to stand up just now, Hu Wei might not be able to be a courtier with them now.

"Hu Shangshu." After seeing Hu Wei approaching, Xu Youzhen looked respectful and lowered her head slightly. It can be seen that this is not because his status and official position are higher than her own, but it is sincere respect from the bottom of her heart. .

"Thank you, Xu Shangshu." Hu Yan smacked his lips, and it seemed difficult for him to say this word of thanks.But when he really said it, he obviously relaxed a lot.

"Don't dare, dare not." Xu Youzhen shook her head hastily.This person is not just as simple as a veteran minister, but his grandson-in-law is a loyal and courageous man. Just for this, he must be respectful, and he can only be respectful.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. If it wasn't for Xu Shangshu's help, I'm afraid the old man would be kicked out of the court by now." Hu Wei shook his head in the same way, as if you deserved this thank you.

"Where, there is a loyal and courageous man, how could Hu Shangshu be troubled. Presumably, even if the official didn't stand up just now, there will be other people." When Xu Youzhen talked about this, she looked around intentionally. one time.The longer he has been in contact with Yang Chendong and the more he knows, the more he admires him.Based on intuition, it is impossible for Mr. Zhongdan to be prepared for his own hole card, but it will not show up until the time comes.

"Him?" Hearing Xu Youzhen mention Yang Chendong's name, a relaxed smile appeared on Hu's face.This grandson-in-law really satisfied him. Not only was he the grandson of his old friend, but his talent was even more admirable. Now it's a good thing, even he has to show the other party's protection.Thinking of this, how can I not be satisfied.But then, before the smile fully bloomed on his face, he became much quieter again, "What he did this time was a bit too bold, isn't Yang Sijing (Yang Shanzi) going to be punished?" Get involved, how do you want him to live in the future."

Speaking of Yang Shan's matter, Xu Youzhen saw that no one was paying attention to him, so she said in a low voice, "Hu Shangshu, Mr. Zhongdangong has long been concerned about this matter, but he still needs the cooperation of Lord Shangshu."

Hearing the word "cooperate", Hu Yan instinctively wanted to shake his head and refuse, after all, he really didn't want to do such a thing as cheating on his friends.But considering that even if I don't show up, the matter will go on, and my old friend may still suffer, so I can only nod and agree, "Okay, then the old man and Mr. Xu will visit Sijing together."

"This is the best, Hu Shangshu please." Half of the stone in Xu Youzhen's heart fell, and if Hu Yan was willing to step forward, the matter would naturally be resolved a lot, and it would be much easier for him to complete the task assigned by Yang Chendong.

Jingshi Station.

Yang Shan, who had been here countless times, was placed here.The scene full of comedy is that he used to be the host to welcome guests from all over the world, envoys from various countries, but now he has become an envoy and lives here.

Just from this change of role, we can already see Beiming's attitude towards him, that is, he is not regarded as the special envoy of Shang Kingdom and the representative of Yingzong, but only as an envoy of Nanming.

Thinking of this, Yang Shan, who had suffered from the wind and cold during the bumpy journey, was in a bad mood, and his body was getting weaker and weaker.So much so that it is impossible to see guests.

But when the entourage reported that Hu Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites had arrived, Yang Shan still insisted on forcibly receiving him.He has great respect for Hu Wei in his heart, and he can describe the relationship between them as both a teacher and a friend.Not to mention that he had worked under this person for many years. With this, the old superior came to see him, so how could he not accept him?

In the living room of the post station, Yang Shan walked in with the support of his servants, and what he saw was Hu Wei with a peaceful face and concerned eyes. Beside him was a man wearing a third-rank official uniform. Standing with hands behind his back, he was also looking at him.

He knew this person, he was originally the censor of Yushitai, he seemed to be at the sixth rank or the fifth rank, he didn't expect how long it had been since he hadn't seen him, and he had entered the ranks of the third rank just like himself.

While sighing in his heart, Yang Shan cupped his fists and said to Hu Wei, "Master Shangshu, it's been a long time."

"Sijing, are you okay with your body?" Seeing that Yang Shan's complexion was not very good, Hu Min stepped forward, gently held the other's arm, and asked with concern.

"Master Lao Shangshu is concerned, I have nothing to do, nothing to do, cough, cough, cough" After coughing several times, Yang Shan's face turned blue, and he was really suffocated.

"Sit down, sit down and talk." Hu Wei showed a look of unbearable in his eyes, and pulled the other party's arm to the front of the chair and sat down slowly.

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu, for your concern." After sitting down, Yang Shan seemed to breathe a little more smoothly, and he also gained some confidence when he spoke.Only when his eyes were looking at Hu Wei, he still had a look of hope. It is conceivable that at this moment, he must have mixed feelings in his heart.

Since the Battle of Tumubao, the two superiors and subordinates have not met each other, and it has been nearly two years.Who would have thought that when they meet again, they will each be their masters?

When talking about each being the master, Yang Shan couldn't help but think of the mission this time, and the joy when the old friends met was suddenly diluted a lot, "Master Shangshu, this time I came here with a mission. Yes, but I don't know what the attitude of King Tan is?"

"There is no King Tan here? Only Emperor Daizong." A voice suddenly came out of nowhere.Needless to say, the one who can say this is naturally Xu Youzhen who has never spoken.

As soon as these words fell, Yang Shan's face obviously became much uglier.Fortunately, there is Hu Wei, he is the link between the two sides to talk, once the situation is not good, he becomes like a lubricant, so when he saw Yang Shan's expression was not good, he immediately said: "Sijing, This is Xu Youzhen, Master Xu, who is now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and is also the important official appointed by Emperor Daizong to be in charge of receiving you this time, so you can talk to him if you have anything to do next."

Yang Shan, who was about to reprimand Xu Youzhen, frowned upon hearing this.Although it is said that everyone is a third-rank official, it also depends on seniority and real power. Compared with seniority, at least he is much stronger than the other party. When talking to Lao Shangshu by himself, how can he allow a junior to intervene?

But after this introduction, Yang Shan understood that if he wanted to accomplish the task entrusted by Yingzong, Xu Youzhen might not be able to get around it no matter what.Even so, he cupped his fists politely and said: "It turns out to be Xu Shangshu, see you."

"Young Minister Yang is welcome." Xu Youzhen also bowed, and then said: "Since Hu Shangshu is here today, why don't we take this opportunity to discuss the matter and see if we can find some kind of balance. Wouldn't it be nice to let everyone complete the emperor's order earlier."

"Balance?" Yang Shan shook his head after hearing this, "Impossible, this is simply an impossible task."

"If you haven't tried it, you know it's impossible." Regarding Yang Shan's arbitrariness, Xu Youzhen said in a slightly louder voice.

"Why is there still a possibility? Isn't it already explained everything by arranging me to the station this time?" Yang Shan also answered Xu Youzhen with a stern voice.Hu Wei is his superior, he is an old superior, and his qualifications are still there, so of course he can't say anything.But Xu Youzhen, a rising star, can say whatever he wants.
