Chapter 454
The situation in Beijing became strange. Since Niu Heizi disregarded the Yan family, people have followed suit one after another, attacking and impeaching Yan Bingzhang. His words were fierce, almost the rhythm of burning and burning all over the boat.
Mr. Xiao Yan was in a panic. He found that among the people who attacked Mr. Yan, there were all parties, but they were not the core figures. Who was behind the scenes was unmistakable for a moment. He roared in the mansion like thunder, "No one is a good thing! After receiving the favor of our Yan family, is it now so rewarding?"
Seeing that he was in a mess, Yu Wenjing, who was watching coldly, sighed and advised: "Young master, don't worry. Such sneaky behavior will not hurt the foundation of the Prime Minister. At most, it will be a little hindered. It will definitely calm down in January and February."
Everyone pushed the wall down. It was precisely because the Yan family was domineering that someone would rebound. But at this time, the Chief Minister Yan still had prestige, so no one among the Grand Secretary has come out to stand up for the confrontation. This situation would not cause any substantial damage to Chief Minister Yan, it was just a warning message.
"Nonsense!" Mr. Xiao Yan said proudly: "Now that Dad is deeply in the hope of everyone, who can move him? Am I worried about this? But these tricks don't make people angry? I have to find out the person behind the scenes."
He became more and more domineering in his temper and always disliked his father's confidant Yu Wenjing, and now he even shouted.
Yu Wenjing smiled indifferently and did not say much.
Someone offered a suggestion: "Niu Heizi comes from northern Fujian. Although he is not a Fujian party on weekdays, he has close contact with the people of Fujian. I don't think there is anyone else, only Shen Xiao, a Grand Secretary of the Dongge, is the mastermind behind the scenes!"
Xiao Yan patted the table and said, "I guess it's him. Humph, just a five-guy, I want to secretly attack my father? Then I have to try my methods!"
Yu Wenjing smiled bitterly. Is Shen Xiao the entourage of this matter another saying that he would make a decision to fight back without any difference before he was determined. This stern party is too domineering. What good results can be achieved in this way?
But Princess Xiao Yan had already decided and would not listen to advice. Yu Wenjing was too lazy to give advice.
On the second day, the Qingliu party jumped out and attacked Shen Xiao for many misconduct, including Xiaoqi drinking and prostitutes. I don’t know how they collected them. Shen Xiao had a strong temper and argued with a group of censors in the hall, and they were quarreling.
Now that two senior officials have been impeached, the situation will certainly not be so calm. However, for a few days, Xi Mingsheng and Zhang Yu were dragged into the water, and there were constant curses in the court every day. It was obvious that someone was intending to muddle the water.
Xiao Yan's husband became increasingly confused about who was attacking the Yan family, but gradually realized that Yan's prime minister is now in a big way. After being impeached, the other four grand clans naturally began to join forces, which vaguely formed a situation where the prime minister fought against the other four grand clans.
Especially Shen Xiao, who was attacked first, didn't know if it was because of the impeachment of the censors that hit him in pain, and he was angry and furious. He fought back in a fierce manner, almost completely standing opposite to the Yan family. This also made Xiao Yan's husband more certain that this person was the mastermind behind the scenes.
The court was in chaos, and Ye Xingyuan was so happy to watch the show.
In the inn, the latest news came from the Jinyiwei. Qingfei smiled and said, "Now the court has become a mess, and even Xianggong Yan is not in the mood to take care of you as the prefect of Tianzhou. At this time, as long as the Ministry of Personnel nominates, you can succeed. You are the one who is truly lucky to be the one who is in charge of the great power."
Ye Xingyuan nodded with a smile, "I am just adding fuel to this matter and giving advice. This situation in the North Korea and China will naturally form such a situation. I am really lucky."
He paused and sighed, "It's a pity that the Yan family is full of wings. Although this time it can sluggish his arrogance, it is not enough to uproot him."
Qingfei said seriously: "Mr. Yan's roots are in Jiangnan. As long as Jiangnan Shilin still has a huge influence in the court, he will not fall so quickly as a representative of Qingliu. I heard that the adults have the ambition to ask about the political affairs of Jiangnan. If he can obtain the corresponding official this time, he will have some achievements within two or three years."
Although the Yan family has stood firm in this battle, it has shown signs of decline. They do not know how to restrain themselves and reflect on themselves, and they make enemies everywhere, and their defeat will soon be lost. If there is a turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River, there is really a chance to bring them down in one fell swoop.
Although Ye Xingyuan had never told Qingfei about the saint's spiritual bones, the treasure of the Five Virtues, Qingfei was so smart that she could guess his general purpose from Ye Xingyuan's words and deeds on weekdays.
After completing his post in Shuzhong, Ye Xingyuan's goal was Jiangnan. On the one hand, it was because Zhong Qi's tomb was in Xingzhou Prefecture, and on the other hand, it was because Jiangnan was the main source of economic and financial resources of the court today. Those who can determine Jiangnan could be in charge of the government.
It was precisely because Yan Bingzhang represented the great landlords and bourgeois forces in Jiangnan that he could be as steadily in the court.
Even if Ye Xingyuan cannot control Jiangnan, he must at least understand Jiangnan. Then it is natural to go to Jiangnan to become an official. Moreover, after analysis, he has no resistance to transferring him.
First of all, if Ye Xingyuan can be successfully promoted this time, he will be a dignified prefect. He will inevitably be promoted because of his merits, but it is impossible for him to be a high-ranking official in the province directly. The cabinet's rejection of him will make it even more impossible for him to recall him back to the center.
Tianzhou Prefecture is already the capital of Shuzhong. Ye Xingyuan wants to be promoted again, so he can only go to a more prosperous and important town. Of course, it is impossible for the capital to consider it. Although the conflict between the Grand Secretary and him has been greatly alleviated after this time, he still does not want him to wander in front of him, so he must let him go far.
Jiangnan is the best choice and what is more clever is that even the Yan family will not object. Xiao Yan's husband has acted recently and hated Ye Xingyuan. If he wants to control Ye Xingyuan, the best way is to throw him into Jiangnan and suppress this person with a huge family power.
As long as Ye Xingyuan takes a wrong step in Jiangnan, they will have the opportunity to deal with Ye Xingyuan.
In this way, as long as Ye Xingyuan is willing to seek a position, he can really be transferred from Shu to Jiangnan. In fact, Mrs. Li has also used the remaining forces of the Yao family to find ways to operate for Ye Xingyuan.
After Ye Xingyuan entered Beijing, the dispute in the court finally subsided slightly. Several major officials did not hurt their worries, but only deposed the favorite censors. However, the division of forces in the court quietly changed after this battle. Ye Xingyuan, as a small stone that leveraged the situation, fell into the eyes of more people.
A few days later, the Ministry of Personnel submitted a statement and transferred Ye Xingyuan to the prefect of Zhengtianzhou. None of the cabinet's adults were given a word and sent it to the Chief Secretary for Lecture. Wang Ren was overjoyed and did not care about the rudeness and directly asked the emperor to stamp the seal and send it back to the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel reported to Ye Xingyuan again. This half level was promoted so easily.
"It's true that people say that fishing in troubled waters is the truth." Ye Xingyuan sighed. If the court is not in chaos, he would not have much effort to get promoted at half level. It is precisely because the court bites dogs that he has the opportunity.
No matter in the past and future, the world is as dark as crows, and these great ministers and cabinet masters in the court are just ordinary people.
Since he got what he wanted, it was not necessary to return to Shuzhong again. He handed over the tribute. When he saw Emperor Longping, he began to live in the capital with peace of mind and seek his next promotion. Ye Xingyuan found that such things were common in the capital. Many county magistrates and even provincial officials were dependent on the capital before their term of office.
Unlike the feudal era known to Ye Xingyuan, the Xuanyuan world has an instantly accessible official document system, which further encourages this trend.
It seems like someone from later generations went to Beijing to seek official positions, and all provinces and cities had to set up institutions like "Beijing Office", which is the same.
Since it was a common practice, Ye Xingyuan lived in peace. He acted in a low-key manner and still lived in the inn. Anyway, he had enough credit and had excellent evaluations, so he didn't have to fight for anything. The only thing behind the operation was Mrs. Li who fought for him, and on top of him were Emperor Longping and Wang Ren. As long as the Grand Secretary did not interfere, who could block his way?
After he lived in Beijing for three months, he passed the hot summer again. Sure enough, the Ministry of Personnel's documents came down and gave him the responsibilities of the prefect of Xingzhou Prefecture, Jiangdong Province.
This matter was calm and no one in the court opposed it or fought with it.
As Qingfei's previous analysis, no one had the motivation to stop Ye Xingyuan from going to Jiangnan. His friends hoped that he would make political achievements in Jiangnan and go further, while his enemies hoped that he would fall into a fight in Jiangnan and break his indestructible golden body.
Ye Xingyuan did not delay, so he packed his luggage, ordered the original team, and left Beijing to go to Jiangnan to take office.
The road was delayed for about a month. When I arrived in Xingzhou, it was already late August, and the fragrance of osmanthus was floating. Ye Xingyuan wanted to observe the people's feelings, so he first entered the city in plain clothes to find out the news.
Xingzhou, Jiangdong, is adjacent to the East China Sea. The willows are rising in autumn, and it is warm. Ye Xingyuan is wearing a blue dress and sits calmly in the wine shop, listening to the hot discussions of the people of Xingzhou.
He originally thought that this place was a brilliant place and talented people emerged. The content of the chatting of everyone was not romantic, but it should be the imperial examination. However, the content of the chatting of the people was completely beyond his expectations. Most people were discussing the price of grain with great enthusiasm.
In the south of the Yangtze River, the grain production is far inferior to that of the past, because most areas have changed to economic crops. But even so, Xingzhou's land is fertile and the people are rich, and there is never any risk of shortage of food. If Jiangnan lacks food, the world would have been barren for thousands of miles long ago.
Therefore, these people are not worried about the rise in grain prices. From their tone, they seem to be looking forward to the rise in grain prices and are afraid of falling in grain prices.
Ye Xingyuan said to Lu Shiyi Niang: "The people in the world are worried about the expensive food and never worry about the low food. Why is Xingzhou different from other places?"
Lu Shiyi Niang conducted an investigation through the Jinyiwei in advance and reported: "This matter only emerged in Xingzhou today, called grain loans. People can buy grain at a daily harvest price in advance, but they do not deliver it. They can only pick up the goods after several months. If the grain price rises, they can also transfer the grain loans. This is a way to make money with no means. The people of Xingzhou, who have a few spare money, now half of them are investing money on this."
Damn! Ye Xingyuan was shocked. Could it be that besides himself, there is another time traveler, who has made this advanced financial tool? Isn’t this futures?
