Chapter 308 Candidate
Chapter 108 (Thank you for the monthly pass of the leisure ronin brothers)
Song Nan went back to the government office for a walk, handled a few official affairs, and then took his own guards to ride a horse to the British government. In the early morning, Zhang Mao did not go. Song Nan was a little worried about whether the old man was angry and sick, but after entering the government to see her husband, she found that it was not the same at all.
The old man was radiant and not sick at all. Seven or eight concubines around him were sitting in the courtyard eating snacks and drinking tea. I don't know how moist they are.
Song Nan rolled his eyes. Zhang Mao, a British father, was a master who could enjoy. Song Nan knew that her husband had many wives and concubines in his life, and there were definitely more than a hundred famous and unknowns together. Now some of them are already hanging old women, but some of them are young enough to be his granddaughters, not much bigger than the little princess. He is so good-looking that even Song Nan drools when he looks at it, which shows how much the old guy enjoys life.
Men can't help but compare official positions and private pets with each other. Song Nan believes that they are also very lucky, but until now, the three daughters of the little princess Ye Fanggu and Lu Qingli are their wives and concubines. Compared with their husbands, they are simply not even a fraction. In this regard, they were thrown out by their husband for 18,000 miles.
Song Nan can only comfort herself with *: it depends on quality, not quantity, at least in terms of quality. Everyone in his room is carefully selected and charming. Although his temper is strange and difficult to control, he does not fall behind in this regard; only in this way can he be a little balanced.
"Goodbye, my husband." Song Nan put the big and small bags she bought on the street on the table and greeted Zhang Mao.
Several beautiful wives and concubines around Zhang Mao stared at the beautiful teenager in front of him and couldn't wait to eat Song Nan.
Zhang Mao waved his hand and ordered his wives and concubines to go down, pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit down."
Song Nan sat down and laughed and said, "I couldn't come to the appointment last night. Don't be angry with me. It's not right to accompany the old man here."
Zhang Mao waved his hand and smiled and said, "Lun'er has told me the reason. You are an affectionate seed. In order to chase a woman, you don't even care about big things and teach me what to say about you. Well... I'm not a romantic teenager, and I'm also an experienced person. I wanted to scold you regardless of importance, just think about it. After all, you made a mistake. Saved people's lives."
Song Nan hurriedly said, "Mr. Xie is generous. Yang Ting and I have already met in the palace just now. We have discussed that matter."
Zhang Mao straightened up and said, "Oh? What are you going to do?"
Song Nan whispered to tell Zhang Mao about the method agreed with Yang Tinghe. Zhang Mao thought for a moment and said, "If you can really find out Ma Ang's bad deeds and attack it in the court, it will inevitably work. The method should be feasible."
Song Nan smiled and said, "With the old man's consent, I will be more confident. The old man hasn't been to court today, but he is not feeling well?"
Zhang Mao picked up the black purple sand pot and took a beautiful sip of tea and said, "Do I look sick?"
Song Nan stared at several angry figures on the edge of the grapevine on the swing in the distance of the courtyard. * The figure of the beautiful concubine, licked her lips and said, "It's not like it at all."
Zhang Mao smiled and said, "Song Nan, have you ever considered the candidate for the three-sided general system?"
Song Nan shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about this."
Zhang Mao came over and looked at Song Nan and said, "This position is not good for Liu Jin and Xu Guangzuo, but will it be beneficial to us to appoint the foreign court?" Cabinet ministers and six officials, it's not that you don't know them. In their eyes, there has never been another position. To put it bluntly, Yang Ting and you and I are just working together with us. If you think you can get the help of the foreign court from now on, it's a big mistake. Judging from my decades of experience, but Ting De is powerful, and he will also turn his face and disrecognize others.
In fact, Song Nan has seen this for a long time, but she always has a hazy good impression on the foreign court. After all, she always thinks that these people are famous all over the world and have poems and books, so that they won't do something about killing cooks when they are full of crossing the river and tearing bridges. But from Zhang Mao's mouth, Song Nan knew that this was all about Zhang Mao's decades of experience, and she must have seen too many tricks in it.
"What the old man said is that since the old man also said so, I am not pretentious. In fact, in the past two days, I have also been thinking that this time I was busy and confused, saying that it is good for myself, but in fact, it is just suppressing Liu Jin from the future; if the actual benefits are not at all, it will be great. Stimulating Liu Jin may cause more trouble. If you can get some practical benefits from it, it's really a little unwilling to think about it.
Zhang Mao laughed, and his white beard trembled, as if he were convulking.
"Sure enough, it's Song Nan, and it's really a person who can't afford to live early." Zhang Mao pointed to Song Nan and smiled, "I know that you are unwilling. You must have complained that I have dragged you into this matter, because you don't want to fight head-on with Liu Jin yet. What you prefer is to see the two tigers competing. Are you wise and protect yourself to get the benefits of the fisherman?"
Song Nan scratched her head and said, "It's not true. The inner court is a tiger, and the outer court is only a wolf at best, definitely not an opponent of the inner court. It's good for me to help the wolf drive away the tiger. It's better to have real benefits afterwards. After hitting the tiger, it's best to get a piece of meat out of the wolf's mouth by the way, old man, am I a little Greed, don't laugh."
Zhang Mao smiled and said in a low voice, "I'm not greedy, I'm not greedy at all. I'm the same as you think. Is there any reason why I didn't go to court today? I planned to meet someone early in the morning. This is the piece of meat you want.
Song Nan blinked and asked, "Who do you see?"
Zhang Mao said, "This person's name is Yang Yiqing."
"Yang Yiqing? Why have I never heard of this person? Song Nan said doubtfully.
Zhang Mao waved his hand and said, "It's not that I stimulate you. Although you have been the commander of Jinyiwei for more than two years, but after all, the foundation is too shallow and you don't know many people with ability at all. Yang Yiqing is a person with ability. Compared with the impetuous officialdom in the court, Yang Yiqing is down-to-earth. Practical people; since the ninth year of Hongzhi, he has supervised Shaanxi Ma Zheng and tea affairs. He once strongly promoted the tea horse official camp, put an end to the private profit of merchants, and made a lot of noise. In the end, the emperor supported his proposal to return the tea horse to the official camp, which had a miraculous effect. The military and civilian in the northwest had to be self-sufficient, and was later promoted to the position of governor of Shaanxi.
Song Nan was surprised and said, "So powerful? But I haven't heard of it."
Zhang Mao smiled and said, "Hongzhi was nine years old. At that time, you were afraid that you were only * years old, and you were still a drooping boy in open crotch trousers. How can you know that you still nestled in that small place in Weizhou with mud?"
Song Nan muttered, "But he was born earlier than me. A generation of romantic people has their own skills."
Zhang Mao rolled his eyes and ignored him and continued, "Yang Yiqing has been in Shaanxi for eight years, and his achievements are obvious to all; but he is idle in the capital at this moment, and I plan to visit him this morning."
Song Nan suddenly understood and whispered, "Is the old man going to recommend Yang Yiqing as the three-sided chief official?"
Zhang Mao asked with a smile, "What do you think?"
Song Nan patted his thigh and said, "Jiang is still old and spicy. Instead of watching the internal and external courts compete for this fat meat, isn't it better for us to grab this big fat meat in our hands?"
Zhang Mao smiled and said, "That's what I mean."
"Is Yang Yiqing old friends with her husband? Acquaintance? Student?"
"Neither, Yang Yiqing has nothing to do with me."
Song Nan was stunned and said, "Then why did you choose him?"
Zhang Mao said, "Yang Yiqing is a straightforward person and a practical person. If I recommend him as the three-sided general system, at least he must do something in office, which is beneficial to the defense of the three sides."
Song Nan laughed dumbly and said, "If you only use this as a condition, why bother?"
Zhang Mao glanced at him and said, "You know nothing. Naturally, there is a reason why I chose Yang Yiqing. Yang Yiqing was too straightforward. When he was appointed as the governor of Shaanxi, he offended a large group of people because he was not used to the actions of the border town officers. It made all the middle officials sent by the Ministry of War and the internal court think that he was annoying him. You said that he was like Is He Fu idle in the capital? It was impeached by several general officers in the border town, slandering him for embezzling military food and military salaries and cutting corners when he built the border wall. This matter was secretly instructed by Liu Jin. It is rare that even the military department did not help him speak, which can only be idle at home.
Song Nan understood that Yang Yiqing had offended the inner court and the outer court at the same time. Everyone thought he was stinky and forced him down. That is to say, he did not belong to any force and was in danger. At this time, if someone pulled him, Yang Yiqing would not give up?
"I went to see him this morning, but I came back halfway. This favor should be done by you. Whether you can convince him depends on your ability. Yang Yiqing is a straightforward person, in other words, a little pedantic." Zhang Mao smiled.
Song Nan was quite moved, and Zhang Mao was also generous. This adult affection was given to himself, which was not ordinaryly good for himself. If he could really recommend Yang Yiqing as a three-sided chief system officer, he would have mastered a local military and political dignitaries, which was not in vain.
Thinking of this, Song Nan couldn't help but be a little excited. He couldn't wait to meet Yang Yiqing.
