Chapter 243 242 Promoted

Two days later, Wei Guangde finally stopped and stayed in the Jiujiang Guild Hall without leaving the house.

However, there was a lot of information he asked Zhang Ke to inquire.

Wei Guangde only focused on two people for the rewards planned by the Ministry of War, one was Ma Fang and the other was Dong Yiyuan.

These two people are considered chess pieces pre-arranged by Wei Guangde in Xuanfu and Jizhen.

Ma Fang was promoted to the lieutenant general this time, and he might have to move again at the end of the year. Dong Yiyuan also promoted from a hundred households to a thousand households, and was appointed as a guerrilla general. However, there would be no major adjustments in the military and horses in Jizhen, so he still only had the cavalry troops of more than 400 people.

After the title has been raised, you can take the rest slowly, but Wei Guangde is not in a hurry.

After getting the exact news, Wei Guangde wrote a letter, and then took the time to leave Andingmen in the north and went to the Jingying station to find Dong Yiyuan.

Before, Wei Guangde asked Dong Yiyuan to station in the Beijing camp and reported to the camp officer that he needed to wait for Lord Weng Puweng's orders to know whether to go back to Jizhen or Xuanfu to continue to accompany and protect him, so he has been stationed in the Beijing camp these days.

After meeting Dong Yiyuan in the Beijing Camp, he stepped back and left. Wei Guangde told Dong Yiyuan about the news he had heard from the Ministry of War, including his promotion position and his old subordinates, and there would be no additional troops sent.

At this stage, Wei Guangde can only know a lot of news in advance, and he will definitely be speechless at the decision-making level.

In his same year, except for the first three and he was awarded official positions, all of them were also studying in the Jinshi status and political studies.

However, like Dong Yiyuan, he is still young, even Ma Fang is forty years old, so I am afraid he can't wait.

This is also the reason why Wei Guangde still wants to win over Dong Yiyuan. He is young and looks a little capable, but Wei Guangde doesn't know any of him.

Dong Yiyuan looks at least successful, so he can maintain the relationship first to see the situation.

For Dong Yiyuan, it is still very satisfying to get him promoted and raise a salary by taking a escort mission. Although he took a little risk, it seems worth it now.

He knew that Wei Guangde was able to make a contribution and promote his position because he added his name to the credit book, and his position was relatively high. Otherwise, who would have known that the Xuanfu had a general named Dong Yiyuan.

After finishing the matter, Dong Yiyuan asked Wei Guangde where he would go in the future.

For him, he finally relied on a Beijing official now, so he naturally hoped that Wei Guangde's success would be a success, which would help him more.

"As for me, I should still stay in the Hanlin Academy to continue my studies."

Wei Guangde was a little funny about Dong Yiyuan's question asking such a question, "The grade may be adjusted. I can see if I can transfer to Taichang Temple or the Ministry of Rites in a few years. I can't say it.

The day before yesterday, I went to Xiyuan to meet His Majesty. He just asked about Baoanzhou, but there were so many things he didn't mention.

By the way, I still have a letter here, and you can arrange your personal soldiers to go to Xuanfu and hand them over to Ma Fang."

Hearing that Wei Guangde asked him to send someone to deliver a letter, Dong Yiyuan nodded quickly and wanted to speak but was interrupted by Wei Guangde waved his hand.

"This time you arrange the sender to the letter, be cautious and reliable, and it is best to know the truth."

Speaking of this, Wei Guangde frowned slightly before continuing: "The letter must be handed over to Ma Fang in person, and also told him that the last few words in the letter were in Xiyuan. His Majesty asked me to tell him."

Dong Yiyuan's expression on his face was very natural when he heard Wei Guangde's speech. Even when Wei Guangde was instructed to select reliable people to deliver the letter, he didn't care.

It was only in the end that Wei Guangde said that the emperor's explanation in the letter was shocked and shocked. When he thought about Wei Guangde's expression when he asked him to pay attention to the selection of people, Dong Yiyuan understood the meaning of the words.

Wei Guangde almost pointed out that he or Ma Fang had people from the Jinyiwei around him.

Wei Guangde accompanied him with two people, one was Zhang Ji and the other was Li San.

The two of them were born in Jiujiang Wei, and they can be said to be aware of the roots and bottom of the story. They were both from Bengshan Fort and can be trusted.

Wei Guangde didn't believe that under his nose, these two people could be instigated by the Jinyiwei and helped them monitor him.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard had eyeliners all over the Ming Dynasty and was also hereditary, so there were naturally many people in the army.

However, after Wei Guangdesi thought about it, it was unlikely that Zhang Ji and Li San's family background were secretly spies of the Jinyiwei. So Emperor Jiajing could know what he said to Ma Fang, which was probably revealed by the people around Ma Fang.

The reason why Dong Yiyuan said this was just two points. One was to let Dong Yiyuan pay attention to his personal soldiers, and not to make a few spies from the Jinyiwei. The other was to tell Dong Yiyuan that I had a holy family and Emperor Jiajing knew that he had contact with Ma Fang, so he didn't do anything to him, so he asked him to tell others privately.

Well, this is actually a warning.

After saying that, Wei Guangde took out the letter written to Ma Fang from his arms and handed it to Dong Yiyuan, "You can go back to Ji Town to pay the job. When you go back to wait for the news of the reward, you probably won't be able to send it in the short term."

"Why? Didn't it be decided?"

Dong Yiyuan asked in confusion, "It is necessary to get the reward in your hands to be sure, who knows if there will be any variables in the middle?"

"Mr. Weng hasn't come back yet. In addition, the position of General Officer of the Xuanfu Office is still very good, so I'm afraid that the reward will not be able to be out in the short term."

Wei Guangde smiled and explained, "If I hadn't seen His Majesty the day before yesterday, I might have said that the Ministry of War would have quarreled in the cabinet for my business."

Seeing Dong Yiyuan's confused look on his face, Wei Guangde explained with a smile: "The Ministry of War wants to transfer me to their place and send troops from abroad to take charge."

Speaking of this, Wei Guangde's smile turned cold and continued, "I think I am a Hanlin, why should I go to the Ministry of War to serve? Do I have a future?

Fortunately, Your Majesty understands it. The news I received was to continue to ask me to study in the Hanlin Academy and arrange errands when I get older a few years old.’

"Yes, Hanlin is good, and you can study in Hanlin Academy. It will be natural for you to join the Ministry of Rites and become the prime minister in the future."

Dong Yiyuan has now recalled from his surprise. Is there such fierce open and secret struggles in the court?

Seeing Wei Guangde being valued by the emperor, those who had ideas about the cabinet took action and began to suppress it. Telling Wei Guangde to the Ministry of War was equivalent to cutting off his hope of entering the cabinet.

Although there is still a chance, it is already slim.

Wei Guangde explained the matter clearly in Dong Yiyuan's army and left. The rewards in the army cannot be achieved in the short term, but his rewards may be earlier than those in the army.

Although Wei Guangde had just been promoted to the Hanlin Academy for review, Wei Guangde always felt that he had to be an editor for his contribution this time. From the seventh grade to the seventh grade, he was also considered an upgrade.

The opportunity I thought about robbing Chen Jin earlier was just thinking about it.

Chen Jin lost the opportunity. In the same year, he also had Cao Dazhang and Wen Yinglu. Perhaps the court would leave their position to them.

While Wei Guangde was walking on the way back to the city, the documents on Wei Guangde's appointment were finally finalized in the Ming Dynasty cabinet.

"Shangshu Wu, the palace has already approved the prize. You can just take it back and do it."

Yan Song looked at the memorial in his hand. This was the memorial about Wei Guangde's award that was sent to Xiyuan yesterday. It was sent back today. He shook his head gently and handed the thing in his hand to Wu Peng who was next to him.

Xu Jie sat aside and said nothing. He couldn't get involved in Wei Guangde's affairs, and he was not inconvenient to interfere. Everything was the meaning of the person from Xiyuan.

To be honest, he did not agree with the promotion of Wei Guangde now. After all, he was too young and should have been practicing in the Hanlin Academy for a few more years.

But he couldn't come out to stop him, and he violated the will of the holy.

At this time, Wu Peng had already taken the memorial handed over by Yan Song with both hands and nodded, "What the Chief Auxiliary said is, I will arrange it when I go back."

At this time, in addition to the cabinet ministers, there were six ministers in the cabinet, which was equivalent to the internal work meeting of the highest authority of the Ming Dynasty.

Other Shangshu looked at Wu Peng's actions, and some people disagreed with it, and some people were also disdainful of it.

Regarding Wu Peng, the Minister of Personnel, there were all things in the Ming Dynasty, because after he took office, he followed the Yan family's father and son, and he had no face that the officials of the Ministry of Personnel should have.

Even in the Ministry of Personnel, there are many people who are not ashamed of being an official, and they all feel that they have lost the Ministry of Personnel.

What department is the Ministry of Personnel? The authority department that controls the positions of officials in the world. Even if the Yan family is powerful, they cannot completely obey them. This will make them, such people from the Ministry of Personnel, deal with themselves in the future when they are appointed.

All the money sent to Beijing to run to the official businessman was put into Yan Shifan's pocket and had nothing to do with them.

If the Minister of Personnel is strong enough and the Yan family is not as good as the face of the Yan family, they will naturally come to the Ministry of Personnel to be harmonious.

Now, the Ministry of Personnel has become the Yan family.

Most of the other Shangshu looked down on Wu Peng, but their family is still in-laws with the Lu Bing family of Jinyiwei, which is really embarrassing.

However, Wu Peng didn't seem to see these eyes. He carefully collected the documents and just sat back in his seat.

"Is there anything else?"

The work in hand was assigned, and Yan Song looked around the people in the room with his turbid eyes. Now he wanted to discuss other troubles encountered by the Six Departments.

"The palace asked for 100,000 taels of silver. Master, our Ministry of Revenue cannot support this silver."

When the words were finished, Fang Dun, the Minister of Revenue, spoke.

During this period, it is said that because of the victory of the Xuanfu Battle, Emperor Jiajing held two more fasting and worship ceremonies in the Xiyuan, and then a bill was sent to the Ministry of Revenue, asking the Ministry of Revenue to give 100,000 taels of silver to the inner court.

No one knows more clearly what the current Ming Dynasty finance looks like. If he doesn't use this occasion to tell it, he will not be able to deal with it.

The inner court asked the Ministry of Revenue for money, and everyone else had already heard of it, but at this time they were all busy waiting to see the development of the plot later to see what method Mr. Yan would use to solve the money problem this time.

Yan Song did not answer the conversation directly, but looked at the second auxiliary Xu Jie next to him.

They are all old foxes, and they are not the only way to fill holes. But now he wants to see if Xu Jie has any other methods available, or just push things to himself as before.

"Haha, everyone knows the stalls of the Ministry of Revenue now. The reason why they can still maintain their food until now is entirely due to Master Yan.

One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a decimal, ten thousand, or twenty thousand, but it’s okay to say that it’s a squeezing in all the yamen in Beijing, one hundred thousand taels.

Master, I am incompetent, I really can’t think of a solution.”

Xu Jie, as always, pushed the matter to Yan Song to decide. In fact, he was already familiar with Yan Song and Xi Mu's technique, which was to intercept the money that had been allocated for other purposes, and give priority to ensuring the cost of the inner court.

As for those places where money is needed, we will wait until the next batch of money is transported to Beijing before distributing it in order. To put it bluntly, it is delaying time and delaying payment.

The account is still there, and it won't be reduced by a little bit, but the time you have to get is hard to say.

Of course, if you find the right person, you can also get money and go to the line.

However, everything must come from the palace, which is why Yan Song was able to sit steadily on the throne of the chief minister.

Apart from him, no chief minister in the Ming Dynasty would choose to be lucky enough to join the emperor, completely ignoring the opposition of all officials in the court, not to mention that the money was taken to fast and worship, building temples and cultivating temples.

Xu Jie also wanted to sit in Yan Song's position, but he knew that during the years when Emperor Jiajing was still energetic and capable of tossing, even if he could squeeze Yan Song away, he would not be able to sit in that seat.
