Chapter 472 Contrary
The next morning, Yang Yiqing dressed neatly and went out with his entourage. Today, he made an appointment with Shaoqing Zhou Dong to check the military field mu.
I thought it was a good start from today. After the most difficult military preparations in Ningxia Town were solved, the other three towns became much easier. However, just an hour later, Yang Yiqing returned to Guanxue Tower angrily.
Song Nan thought about sleeping too late last night. She just got up and was drinking the millet porridge cooked by Yang Kooer, and she was happy to eat hot steamed buns. Yang Koer sat aside with her cheeks and looked at Song Nan devouring, smiling happily.
Suddenly, there was a sound in the lower hall, and Yang Yiqing's angry scolding voice also came: "Shameless! It's too shameless. I want to report this matter immediately. It's lawless.
Song Nan was stunned and quickly ordered people to go downstairs to check the situation. Yang Koo'er also hurried downstairs. A short time, the guard came to report: "Lord Yang's business has been frustrated and he is writing a memorial in the room downstairs."
Song Nan frowned and put down his bowls and chopsticks and got up downstairs. Outside the door of the east wing room, a group of subordinate officials of the three sides of the general office stood there tremblingly and rubbed their hands and sighed. Seeing Song Nan coming down, a subordinate official hurried to salute. Song Nan asked, "What's wrong? Didn't you go to check the military camp with Lord Yang today?
The official sighed, "Don't mention it. I'm angry. The adult is angry inside and is writing a memorial."
Song Nan stepped into the wing and saw Yang Yiqing writing hard. His face was extremely angry. Yang Kooer stood aside and bit her lower lip and looked at his angry father at a loss. Song Nan came behind Yang Yiqing. Yang Yiqing unconsciously wrote like flying and wrote memorials quickly. Suddenly, he felt that his hands were stagnant and could no longer write. Go, look sideways, but see a slender hand holding the upper end of the brush and teaching him unable to write.
Yang Yiqing was furious and thought that someone was messing up. He turned his head and wanted to scold him, but he saw Song Nan standing behind him, and the hand holding the pen was Song Nan's hand.
"Lord Song, why is it you?" Yang Yiqing asked.
Song Nan didn't answer, reached out and picked up the half of the memorial on the table, looked at it quickly, stretched out and threw it into the brazier with a splash, and ignited a fire for a moment.
"Lord Song, what are you doing? This is the memorial sent by this official to the capital. Why did you burn it? It's nonsense." Yang Yiqing's face was gloomy, and he reached out and slapped the brush on the desk.
Song Nan smiled and said, "Lord Yang, don't be angry. It's not cost-effective to be angry. Miss Koer, make a cup of tea for your father to calm him down.
Yang Keer hurriedly nodded and agreed. She went out to make tea with her skirt. Song Nan turned her head and waved the two attendants in the check-out, dragged a chair over and sat opposite Yang Yiqing. She smiled and asked, "Your Excellency, why are you so angry?"
Yang Yiqing was not good at losing his temper in front of Song Nan. He turned his head and shouted angrily, "These people are so shameless to deal with me with such a dirty means. Zhou Dong is lawless. If I don't report this matter to the court, how can I cure this despicable villain?"
Song Nan said, "Be clear, your memorial is full of indignation. I didn't figure out the reason at all."
Yang Yiqing said, "You don't know that I was almost pissed off just now. According to the agreement, Zhou Dong will start to check the army and submit the data to me from today. Naturally, these things start from Jiang Han, the general from top to bottom; do you know? When I went to the General's Mansion, Zhou Dong was already present. When he saw my arrival, he directly handed it to my file and said that the acres in Jiang Han's hand had been measured and verified. I was also surprised that he was efficient and quick to do things. Unexpectedly, he called the file and didn't drive me crazy.
Song Nanjing said quietly, "I guess the result of Zhou Dong's measurement is that the number of positions owned by Jiang Zongbing does not exceed the court regulations, right?"
Yang Yiqing was surprised and said, "How do you know? Have you known about this for a long time?
Song Nan shook her head and said, "How could I know in advance? It's just that I expected these means. The King of Anhua cooperated with the consolidation of the farmland so happily, which made me doubt it. I actually raised this suspicion yesterday, but it's just that you didn't care about my words. Sure enough, they won't give up their interests so happily, and all this is reasonable.
"Is it reasonable? What you said is light. This is fooling us as monkeys. Anhua Wang pretends to be good people. Zhou Dong hides it for these people based on his identity. This is an agreed play. Unfortunately, you and I are all fooled around. It's really makes me angry. Yang Yiqing's face turned pale and coughed loudly with his hands on his chest.
Yang Kouer was walking in with a teacup. Seeing this, she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Yang Yiqing's body and wiped his chest. Yang Yiqing took two sips of tea before stopping coughing.
"Lord Song, I know that you have tried your best. The people of the capital and the border town have colluded to play together. We can't beat them for the time being. This matter can only be carried out if the court asks the emperor to speak. If these dogs are not punished, the national law is not acceptable."
Song Nan looked at the angry Yang Yiqing and felt a little pitiful for him. This man was single-minded for the Ming Dynasty. The two sleeves were just right, but they hit a wall everywhere. If he hadn't recommended him to nest in the barren forest of the white paper workshop. But Yang Yiqing is really naive. Although the eunuch sea has been ups and downs for years, he still can't see some rules clearly. This is the reason why he has encountered obstacles everywhere.
"You can't write a memorial." Song Nandao.
"Why? Shouldn't this matter be reported? Look, I guess that the results of measuring the positions of military officers at all levels sent by Zhou Dong tomorrow are the same. The amount must be in line with the regulations of the imperial court and did not embezzle such nonsense as the army's farmland. Are we watching this dog deceive us to our face? Yang Yiqing got up angrily and shouted angrily.
"It's not that it shouldn't be written, but that it can't be written." Song Nanduan sat still and said quietly.
Yang Kouer pulled Yang Yiqing's sleeve and whispered, "Dad, you can't talk to Mr. Song like this even if you are angry. Sit down and think of a way to discuss it."
Yang Yiqing was shocked to find that he was too out of state. Song Nan in front of him was higher than him in terms of title and official position. Although he was not his own superior, it was obviously unreasonable for him to be angry with him.
Yang Yiqing sat down with a long sigh and said in a hoarse voice, "If you don't play the court, can't you pretend to see this? Hey, it's really difficult to do something. I, Yang, have a sincere heart to serve the country, but I have nowhere to do it. Thinking about it makes people feel depressed.
Song Nan whispered, "Why do you have to do this? You should act with a plan. Lord Yang is not disdainful of this, but there is a good saying that he uses the law of a gentleman and a villain to the villain. These little people in front of them are full of tricks. We restrain them in the way of gentlemen. , how can it succeed?"
Yang Yiqing listened to Song Nan's words and straightened up and said, "Has Lord Song already had a way to deal with it?"
Song Nan said, "Lord Yang, Zhou Dong is the imperial envoy who came to measure the tax rate of the army and check. No one can refute the amount he measured, because he is an imperial envoy, and you doubt the fairness of the imperial envoys sent by the emperor, which will cause a lot of impeachment, and the emperor will not like it."
"I also know this, but as a court official, how can I hide it for fear of impeachment? Isn't this helping Zhou's abuse?"
"Lord Yang, I don't know how to explain it to you. If you want to get things done, don't be angry. Not to mention what kind of impeachment this report will bring you, I even doubt whether your memorial will be sent to the emperor's case. You should know, who sent Zhou Dong and what is his purpose? Who will pass by your memorial? How will he react when he sees this memorial? Don't you think about all these things?"
Yang Yiqing calmed down in an instant. The anger just made his brain unable to think about the whole thing in detail. Song Nan was right. Zhou Dong was the person sent by Liu Jin. It was Liu Jin's recommendation that the emperor appointed such a young minister of Dali Temple but came to cooperate with him to verify the imperial envoy of the border reserve. In fact, he had already understood that Zhou Dong came to make trouble. Now this man has jumped out to make trouble, but he is angry and lose his mind. This is not a big deal.
Maybe happiness came too suddenly. The good news sent by Song Nan yesterday made Yang Yiqing feel that he had seen the sunshine. The greater the hope, the higher the expectation, the greater the disappointment in the end, and the more painful the loss. Yang Yiqing fell into this huge contrast.
"The performance is not good for you, and it is not good for the things in front of you. It's purely super much, so I burned your memorial. There is another solution to this matter, but it is hopeless to ask for the assistance of the imperial court. The solution is still in Ningxia Town, not by others, but on you and me.
Song Nan's calm and firm words made Yang Yiqing ashamed. He lived for decades and was more than twice as old as the young man in front of him, but he was not as calm as him. It was really a little ashamed to analyze so clearly. Moreover, from Song Nan's words, Yang Yiqing heard a clue. Song Nan must have a countermeasure. This person has many strategies. Maybe he can really turn the situation around.
