Jinyi champion

Chapter 521 The first step that must be taken

The news that Tang Yin was appointed as the ambassador of Guangjiku of the Ministry of Household Affairs was officially distributed by the Ministry of Officials that afternoon. Tang Yin finally completed the most important transformation in his life.

Become an official.

Everyone didn't know whether to congratulate him, at least Tang Yin's expression was very strange, even Jiang Lun, who has always been talking warts, knew that it was not a "high promotion" for Tang Yin to be a ninth-rank ambassador of Guangjiku, and he didn't even congratulate him. Dare to say.

"Mr. Tang, from now on we will be ministers in the same hall, we must cooperate sincerely and serve His Majesty!"

Only Zhu Hao said something similar to congratulations.

Tang Yin nodded.

There was originally a banquet in the evening, but because Tang Yin suddenly became an official, fearing that he would misunderstand that everyone was entertaining him, the banquet was directly canceled and the dinner will be held another day.

As a result, only Zhu Hao and Tang Yin had dinner together.

Tang Yin poured himself a drink, drank a lot, felt drunk, shook his head with emotion: "If you really want to be such an unpopular official, I would have gone there in the early years, why wait until today?"

Zhu Hao picked up the jug and poured a glass for Tang Yin: "Didn't you see that everyone didn't congratulate you today? Because everyone knows that this is not a good thing for you. Everyone hopes that you can be as unrestrained as before. Tang Bohu, a romantic and gifted scholar who excels in both poetry and painting."

"Ha ha."

Tang Yin smiled wryly, "Then you still want me to enter the court all the time? Now your wish is fulfilled, right?"

Zhu Haodao: "Sir, becoming an official in the court is the first step for you to assist the government in the future. Don't you think that you will have no fame and fortune in your life? If you want to do things in the future, your name will not be right. As long as you do it on the account of the river project With some achievements, His Majesty will have a reason to promote you... Your speed of promotion will be the envy of most people in the court."

Zhu Hao is telling Tang Yin that I am helping you get into an official career, not deliberately changing your principles of life, but sincerely doing it for your own good.

Tens of thousands of feet tall building rises on the ground, with this first step, there will be a series of follow-up steps.

Tang Yin sighed: "I finally understand that you can read these accounts quickly, and even deal with them in time, but you have to wait until today. It seems that you are paving the way for me. Zhu Hao, I don't know what to do." Thank you or I should hate you, it's all in the wine..."

While Tang Yin complained that Zhu Hao had changed his principles of conduct and entered the officialdom as a petty official, at the same time he knew that Zhu Hao was helping him.

As Zhu Hao said, now he can get the emperor's approval by doing something, as long as he can break the rules set by the civil servants, it is possible even if the new emperor makes him a minister.

The difficulty lies in how to break through the shackles in an officialdom that pays attention to seniority.

Even being an ambassador of Guangjiku requires Zhu Hao's advice, and he can only get it by targeting Yang Tinghe. Tang Yin really can't think of how he can climb to a high position as a person.

……

……

Zhu Si still came that night.

Zhu Si didn't shy away from anything, and congratulated Tang Yin when he came up, which made Tang Yin's mood fluctuate.

Zhang Zuo reminded: "Your Majesty, given Mr. Tang's great talent, this mere ninth-rank official is simply a humiliation to him. How can we congratulate him?"

Zhu Sidao: "Zhu Hao said that this is only the first step, and it is also a step that must be taken. Without the position of Guangjiku Ambassador as a foundation, how can I entrust him with important tasks in the future? Don't worry, Mr. Tang, Zhu Hao will definitely design for you. How to make meritorious service leaves those ministers speechless."

Tang Yin hurriedly saluted: "I have no desire to fight for fame and fortune."

Zhu Si waved his hand: "It's not for you to fight for fame and fortune, but for you to assist me. If you are not an official, I want to use you. Others will say that I have broken the rules, just like I use Zhu Hao."

Tang Yin nodded and didn't say anything anymore.

Zhu Si smiled and looked at Zhu Hao: "You don't know how ugly Mr. Tang's face was when I mentioned it to Mr. Tang today with Mr. Yang Ge. Looking back now, I feel relieved."

Zhu Hao said: "There's no need to fight emotionally, it's just to win an official official position earlier for Mr. Tang, so that he can officially move from behind the scenes to the front."

Zhu Si snorted softly and said: "Let them inquire about the inside information of my Prince Xing's Mansion if they have nothing to do, and now push Mr. Tang out to let them have a good look. In the future, apart from Zhu Hao, Prince Xing's Mansion will have no secrets. Let's see how he troubles me. "

Yang Tinghe couldn't figure it out, that is how Zhu Si knew that he knew Tang Yin's identity.

The fact is that Tang Yin's "exposure" was deliberately designed by Zhu Hao. Zhu Hao found out that Yang Shen's people were inquiring about the situation in Prince Xing's mansion, and immediately arranged for people to leak the news about Tang Yin. Yang Shen thought it was because of his own ability. According to the information that was investigated, they did not know that Zhu Hao's move was "abandoning the car to protect the commander", and Tang Yin was used as a cover, so that Yang Tinghe and his followers would not suspect whether Zhu Si had an aide behind him.

This is a way to protect Zhu Hao himself.

And Tang Yin's transition from behind the scenes to the front stage is also part of Zhu Hao's plan. Can't Tang Yin be a shadow staff for the rest of his life?
Even Sun Ru and Gongsun Yi are going to have official vacancies, but Tang Yin, who is so highly regarded by Zhu Youzhao, and whose status in the palace can be compared with Yuan Zonggao, has never been in an official career. This is very unfair to Tang Yin.

Even if Tang Yin didn't have the honor of Jinshi, Tang Yin could gain a firm foothold in the imperial court through the way of serving officials and adding meritorious service.

Of course, this requires Zhu Hao's help.

……

……

Just when Zhu Siwei finally became an official for Tang Yin and felt that he would have a powerful helper in the court in the future, Yang Shen was screening out the leakers around him.

Yang Shen hosted a banquet and invited the few people who had informed the news yesterday, and made a lot of insinuations, but no one would admit to leaking the news.

The feast is over.

Yu Chengxun called his brother-in-law to the back hall, shook his head and sighed: "If you ask me that, who will admit it? Do you have doubts in Yongxiu?"

Yang Shen said: "Why do you think I have so many people here today? In fact, I just told you this news, and there are Dafu and the other two."

"what?"

Yu Chengxun was really taken aback, and then hurriedly said, "I didn't reveal a word to the outside world, even my wife, I never mentioned it."

Yang Shen shook his head: "Of course I believe you, it's just that Dafu..."

Yu Chengxun said: "You doubt Yang Dafu?"

Yang Shendao: "Earlier, my father asked me to mobilize Hanyuan Xinke Scholars to join the petition to persuade Your Majesty to give up the matter of bringing Princess Xing to Beijing. I only told you and him. Unexpectedly, this news will soon be known to Your Majesty... Is the matter too serious?" Is it a coincidence?"

Now the two people Yang Shen trusts the most, besides Yu Chengxun, are his good friend Yang Weicong.

At this time, Yang Weicong didn't know that he hadn't done anything, yet he was listed as a key suspect by Yang Shen.

Not being a ghost, but being treated as a ghost.

Yu Chengxun seemed very puzzled: "Dafu has never been in contact with Prince Xing's Mansion, and with his personality, he would never contact people in Prince Xing's Mansion, how could..."

Yang Shen shook his head and said, "Know people, know faces, but don't know your heart!"

Immediately, he looked at Yu Chengxun with meaningful eyes, as if to say, you excuse him and think he is impossible, do you want me to doubt you?

Yu Chengxun originally wanted to ask, could it be someone on the side of the new emperor who knew things like a god, but seeing Yang Shen's attitude, it was difficult to mention it again.

If I talk too much, it seems that I am defending Yang Weicong. Even if I am related to the Yang family, Yang Shen's sentence "Knowing people, knowing the face, but not the heart" is also a warning to him, which shows that the Yang family is not very reassuring about him. .

"Go back and try again, tell him a non-existent thing, and see if His Majesty still knows about it, then you will know."

Yang Shen will not rashly conclude that Yang Weicong is a traitor.

The way he designed the test was to tell Yang Weicong something that the Xinhuang camp would not think about or predict in advance, not even Yu Chengxun, without a third party knowing, and then look at the reaction of the Xinhuang. We will know whether Yang Weicong is really an undercover agent inserted into our camp by the New Emperor.

……

……

at night.

Zhu Si returned to the palace early.

On the same day, Zhu Hao had a long talk with Tang Yin. Zhu Hao informed Tang Yin of the conversation he had with Yu Chengxun and Yang Shen in the morning.

Tang Yindao: "I'm talking about you, you are really good at pinching and calculating, the timing is so good, here Yang Shen is testing my affairs with you, and on the other hand, His Majesty has mentioned to Mr. Yang Ge that you want to give me an official, you Did you calculate the time and deliberately let them think that someone inside leaked the news?"

Zhu Hao shook his head: "I didn't deliberately stick to the time, but Yang Yongxiu asked someone about you yesterday, so I knew he should tell his father about your situation last night."

"How do you know?" Tang Yin asked.

Zhu Hao shrugged: "It was Su Dongzhu who told me...Su Dongzhu has a lot of contacts in the dynasty. I asked him to help keep an eye on the two young masters of the Yang family to see who they usually contact with."

Tang Yin was speechless: "You don't stare at Mr. Yang Ge, why are you staring at his two sons?"

The two young masters of the Yang family that Zhu Hao mentioned were Yang Shen and Yang Dun.

Zhu Haodao: "As the prime minister, Mr. Yang Ge often doesn't have the heart to investigate those trivial matters, and he can't fully trust outsiders. Naturally, he will find his two sons to handle the matter. Besides...you think Mr. Yang Ge will go there in person. Find out if you are an aide of Prince Xing's mansion?"

Tang Yin thought for a while, and immediately felt that Zhu Hao was very thoughtful.

Indeed, it is obviously inappropriate for Yang Tinghe to find a high official in the court for the investigation of the Xing Palace. It is a kind of arrogance to let people know that he is in the Xing Palace.

In order to avoid being gossiped, of course it is most appropriate for the two sons to investigate.

This was calculated and targeted by Zhu Hao.

Tang Yin said: "Then who do you think Mr. Yang Ge will suspect?"

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "It's not that Yang Ge is suspicious, but Yang Yongxiu is suspicious... As far as I know, right now Yang Yongxiu has Yu Chengxun and Yang Weicong as his right-hand men. Yu Chengxun is his own brother-in-law, so there is no need to doubt him. Probably. Yang Weicong...haha, I'm afraid he will be questioned."

Tang Yin shook his head and said: "Your faults since childhood are scheming, so it's not good for you to be an official. Uh... So, Yang Dafu was alienated by you?"

While teaching Zhu Hao a lesson, he was deliberating on Zhu Hao's specific plan.

Zhu Haodao: "I guess, Yang Yongxiu's next plan is to secretly test out something that we never thought of, and tell Yang Weicong alone, and then see if we know about it, so as to determine whether this person can be trusted."

"It's over!"

Tang Yin sighed, "It's all counted by you. I guess Yang Dafu's official career is in jeopardy. The second place in the Hanyuan, originally had a bright future...I'm afraid none of the people who quarreled with you will end well."
