Chapter 437 Transaction

Yang Tinghe's heart tightened, and the emperor asked Song Nan why this matter? Since Liu Daxia, the former minister of the Ministry of War, resigned due to Liu Liu and Liu Qi's rebellion, the position of minister of the Ministry of War has been vacant and represented by Li Dongyang. At the critical time of suppressing thieves, the court has not agreed on a candidate, but the competition between the inner court and the foreign court for this position has been secretly.

When Song Nan led the army on an expedition, the cabinet specially asked Lu Wan, the servant of the Ministry of War, to accompany him to suppress the thieves. His intention was to gild Lu Wan in the midst of suppress the thieves, so that he could calmly let Lu Wan take over the position of minister of the Ministry of War. When the news of the triumph of the army came, the cabinet had submitted the candidate to Zhengde, and Zhengde had basically agreed to the cabinet. Opinion, what does it mean when Song Nan mentioned it at this time?

"Indeed, Lu Wan is the most suitable candidate. At first, he made a lot of achievements as the governor of Xuanfu. Originally, he was the best candidate for the chief system of the three sides, but later, you, Lord Song, knew better than anyone else, so you had to move the right servant of the Ministry of War. This time, the suppressing of thieves is your deputy and also made great achievements. It's none other than him." Yang Tinghe said indifferently.

Song Nan nodded and said, "Lord Lu is indeed capable, and I have no problem with him as the minister of the Ministry of War."

Yang Tinghe sneered in his heart and said, "You don't have any opinions. You don't have anything to say about this."

heard Song Nan continue to say, "The emperor asked me about Lu Wan's performance in suppressing thieves. I must have known Lord Lu's ability through me. When I was about to answer, the Empress Dowager asked the emperor to move to the harem, so I did not reply to the emperor. The emperor said that at the time of the court discussion, he wanted me to express my opinion on Lu Wan's performance in the army, so as not to be objected.

Yang Tin and frowned and said, "Did someone say something to the emperor?"

Song Nan shook her head and said, "I don't know. What I'm thinking about is how to evaluate Lu Wan in the court. Should I say good words against my conscience or tell the facts in court?"

Yang Tinghe's heart was shocked and stared at Song Nan and said, "Is Lu Wan's performance poor in the army? The report is clear. Lu Wan fought bravely and made great contributions when suppressing thieves. Didn't you and Zhang Yong, the supervisor, jointly played that memorial?

Song Nan rolled his eyes and said, "This... Yang University, you also understand the rules of our officialdom. We win the fight against thieves. Naturally, I want to let the brothers who were born and die with me get some awards. As a result, I don't care much about the small flaws. The fold of reward is based on such considerations. All generals who suppress thieves want to say some good words and get awards smoothly. Do I still deliberately pick my nose and eyes?

Yang Tinghe frowned into a pimple and said coldly, "Lord Song's officialdom is fast to learn. In this case, why do you say that it is difficult for Lu Wan's test?"

Song Nan shook his head and said, "Originally, it was just a general promotion award, but Lu Wan is going to be promoted to the position of minister of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War is the head of six departments and is in charge of the military affairs of my Ming Dynasty, which can be said to be the key department among the key. The emperor's inquiry is also out of prudence for this position, and I have to put forward my opinion cautiously.

Yang Tinghe said, "Is there anything wrong with Lu Wan's performance in the army?"

Song Nan said, "Is it inappropriate? I can't say either. In short, he made a lot of mistakes, and later I didn't dare to use him alone. In the battle of Weishan Lake, I would have asked Lu Wan to strictly guard the two lakes in the west to prevent the thief soldiers from fleeing to the west, but the result was very disappointing. Lu Wan still let Liu Liu, the leader of the thief, escape from under his eyes.

Yang Tinghe said in astonishment: "The four lakes of Weishan Lake are vast. How can a person be stopped if he wants to escape? You are nitpicking, aren't you?"

Song Nan smiled and said with a serious face, "Mr. Yang, you are a layman. What's the reason why it is forbidden in the army? If all of them find a reason, how can they win the battle? What do you think if you give an order and the officials in your cabinet prevaricate with reasons?

Yang Ting and his words were blocked for a moment, but what Song Nan said was also reasonable. The commander of the army issued a military order, and the subordinates below had to implement it unconditionally. There was no reason to find a reason. Even if it was an impossible task, Song Nan was on the reasonable side, which was exerable, but it was unacceptable.

"When he entered Taihang Mountain to suppress thieves, Lu Wan opposed this proposal and was afraid. Despite the huge cost of our army, he insisted on suggesting that the army be trapped outside the mountain. However, he did not know that the thief soldiers had established a fortress in the mountain to be self-sufficient, and it would never be destroyed even if they were besieged for ten or eight years. It can be seen that his judgment ability is lacking, and he does not know how to judge the situation.

"After entering the mountain, Lu Wan complained about the difficulty of the mountain road and disturbing the army's hearts. I had to let Xu Tai replace the commander-in-chief. After that, Lu Wan drank and said some strange words at night. When attacking the cottage in the valley of the thief soldiers, he led people to attack the hillside, but still had nothing to build. In the end, Jiang Bin led people to attack, but Seeing that his combat ability is also lacking.

"In a comprehensive evaluation of this person, I think Lu Wan has some abilities, but Laocheng is not brave enough to be afraid of some abilities. If he is sloppy because of people's success, he may not be able to do it alone."

Song Nan's babble made Yang Tinghe stunned. Unexpectedly, Song Nan would give such a comment. If these words were made public, Lu Wan, the minister of the Ministry of War, would be ruined. Regardless of whether Song Nan's words are true or not, even if they are fabricated, no one doubts the comments of being the commander-in-chief. What's more, other generals who followed Song Nan's suppressing the thieves are Song Nan's people. They only need a little evidence to be firm, which is irreparable.

Song Nan said silently in his heart: Lu Wan, I'm sorry. Although it's all picking bones in the eggs and making small mistakes on the platform for you, I can't help it. Who told the cabinet to be unrighteous? Yang Ting and knowing that I will take over the position of the regiment camp will be worried. Not only does he not dissuade but also encourage encouragement, but I can only take you out to blackmail you. He.

Yang Ting and Mu Ran sat on the edge of the case, thinking about how to deal with it. The Ministry of War was the focus of competition between the internal and external courts. It was easy to let Lu Wan make contributions and take over the position naturally. If Song Nan messed up like this, everything would be over. Liu Jin will definitely take the opportunity to launch his own candidate. As far as Yang Tinghe knows, Liu Jin has long proposed Jiang Han, the general of Ningxia, as a candidate. Jiang Han is a veteran of the frontier. In terms of qualifications, Jiang Han's qualifications are much older, but for some reasons, he has not been transferred to the capital, but he has the title of a member of a foreigner in the military department.

Song Nan pinched his unnecessary chin, secretly observed Yang Tinghe's expression, and knew that he had hit Yang Tinghe's weakness. What Song Nan didn't know was that it was Yang Tin He's idea to let Lu Wan suppress the thief gild the top. He made a ticket in the cabinet. Once the matter was ruined, his prestige would be swept away.

Originally, Lu Wan was excluded from the competition for the three-party chief system officer. This time, Li Dongyang and Wang Yu felt that it was dangerous to compete for the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War, but Yang Tinghe persuaded everyone that the ability to protect Lu Wan's position was also a major event in Yang Ting and his life. Yang Tin-he could naturally become the first assistant in the cabinet, and Li Dongyang was relieved to let go.

"Yang University, Yang University?" Song Nan stretched out his hand and shook in front of Yang Tinghe. Yang Tinghe suddenly woke up and realized his gaffe. Seeing Song Nan looking at him with a smile, his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning, and his heart couldn't help moving.

"Lord Song, it turns out that there is such a secret in it. We are confused about the recommendation ticket based on Lord Song's report." Yang Tin and tried his best to maintain an indifferent posture and hide his embarrassment with a smile.

Song Nan smiled and said, "That's right, it's not the cabinet's fault."

"Does Lord Song intend to tell the truth in the court? Or do you have other ideas about Lord Song, the candidate of the Ministry of War?

"Where is the position of minister of the Ministry of War, how can I, Jinyiwei, have the right to speak? This should be decided by the emperor. The emperor inquired, and as a minister, he could only tell the truth. As for the question of the selection, there are still others in Lu Wancheng. I hope Lord Lu won't hate me. I'm just honest.

Yang Tinghe pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Song, let's be very confid. Do you think Lu Wan is qualified for the position of minister of the Ministry of War?"

Song Nan laughed and said, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Naturally, it's true."

Song Nan smiled and said, "The easiest thing in the world to do is to be an official. Not to mention Lord Lu, it is very capable to pull a person on the street to be a minister of the army."

Yang Tinghe said stunnedly, "Is this Lord Song's attitude towards the important position of the imperial court?"

Song Nan said, "Isn't it? It's just the difference between doing well and not doing well. If Lord Lu is a minister of the Ministry of War and has the guidance of wise university scholars in the cabinet, he will certainly do a good job. I don't worry about this at all.

Yang Tinghe said with ease, "Lord Song's words are really unpredictable. In this case, why do you plan to give an evaluation that is not conducive to Lord Lu in the court?"

Song Nan looked into Yang Tinghe's eyes and said, "Yang University, because I'm unhappy, unhappy and unhappy."

Yang Tinghe said angrily, "Do you want to pull people off the horse if you are unhappy?"

Song Nan said, "You're right, because someone made me unhappy. Looking at me jump into the fire pit, I didn't even persuade him, and I planned to push it."

Yang Tinghe said, "Where did this come from?"

Song Nan said, "You Yang University scholar know that you will be trapped in the siege and isolation of Xunqi when I accept the position of admiral of the regiment camp. Instead of reminding me, you persuade me to accept it. This person who makes me unhappy is you. You made me unhappy, so I made Lu Wan unable to become the secretary of the Ministry of War, let Liu Jin's people seize the Ministry of War, and let all the officials of the Ministry of the Ministry of War among the six departments of the foreign court be taken away, so that you self-proclaimed but narrow-minded people were marginalized. From then on, there is no weight to speak in the court. This is the price you make me unhappy.

Yang Tinghe's face turned red, and immediately turned pale. He got up and said angrily, "Lord Song, you are too presumptuous. Today's words will be presented to the emperor and let the emperor decide."

Song Nan sneered and said, "Whish or not. The emperor hasn't slept yet. Go as soon as possible."

Yang Tinghe said angrily, "Send off the guests."

Song Nan sneered and said, "Sister Yang, I will go to the palace tomorrow morning. The emperor also has new arrangements for my position. I just hope you don't talk nonsense with the cabinet. If you ruin my business, I will ruin your business. Let's break up. I don't care who is the secretary of the Ministry of War, but it is indeed a big deal for your cabinet. For me, I still have brocade guards, and I don't care about any regimental and military positions. What I'm fighting for is just a face. How to choose, the university scholar will do it by himself and say goodbye!"

Song Nan took the big dark horse and walked directly through the courtyard door. The hoof suddenly sounded and gradually faded away.

Yang Ting and gritted their teeth with a pale face. The family carefully came forward and asked, "Sir, dinner is ready. Madam asked if you want to eat."

Yang Tinhe stood up and shouted, "Tell your wife to use it first. Don't wait for me. Come on, change your clothes!" I'm going to the teacher's office to discuss business.
