Hexi

Chapter 118
Su Zhen's master and servant rode horses and walked unhurriedly along the street.Su Luo had no choice but to let the coachman follow unhurriedly.

But the route became more and more familiar as he walked, and it became the way to go back to Su's house.

Did she think too much?

On the street outside Su's house, Su Wei called to stop the carriage, and watched the master and servant driving their horses through the bustling stream of people, and went straight into the corner gate of Su's house.

It seems that she is really too suspicious.

After the corner door was completely closed, she told the driver: "Go back."

Zhou Chengli's dossier is still burning her hands, after all, Aji's background is already more promising now.

……

Yang You stood with Han Mo at the door of the teahouse. After Su Wei left, he said, "It's been a while since Miss Yi came to the house, and I don't know what's going on with the Song family recently. Won't your son come and have a sit down?"

Han Mo looked puzzled: "Why did I go up to find out what's going on with the Song family? I want to know what's going on with the Song family, so why don't I just send you to find out?"

Yang You choked, and then lowered his voice: "Your Majesty still doesn't know that next month the Sixth Ministry will release a group of Beijing officials to go abroad?"

"so what?"

"Then there will be a lot of vacancies in the Six Departments!"

Han Mo found it annoying that he spoke so thoughtlessly. "What does this have to do with me? Do you want me to enter the Sixth Division?"

"Of course the prince doesn't need to fight with them! But the Song family needs it right now!"

"Song Family?"

"That's right!" Yang You showed his relief at finally seeing the elm lump open up, and slapped his thigh and said, "Master Song wants to enter the Six Departments!"

Han Mo was puzzled: "Isn't he working in the Sixth Division? Why does he want to enter the Sixth Division?"

The official ranks of the six departments are not as high as those of the six departments, and the scope of power is not as wide as that of the officials of the six departments, but it is an important department that directly reports to the emperor.For a Qingliu family like the Song family, power is not power, it seems that they have never valued it very much.

"Because the Song family and the Wang family have turned against each other." Yang You looked at him meaningfully when he said this.

"Wang Qing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry?"

"Except for this Wang family, other Wang families dare not do anything to the Song family."

Wang Qing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is a scholar of Dongge University. His ancestral home is in Shanxi, and his ancestors are very brilliant.It's just that they experienced clan struggles, dynasties changed, and declined for a while.It wasn't until Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty appointed people on their merits after he won the country that the Wang family gradually improved.

Wang Qing was the long history of the former emperor's hidden residence, and later became the gentleman of the current emperor, and was reused later, took charge of the Ministry of Industry, and entered the cabinet.

With such a family history, Wang Qing is certainly not a troublemaker.Zhen Guogong and Song Jing, the eldest master of the Song family, are classmates and friends for many years. Of course, Han Mo knows that Song Jing is not a messy person.Moreover, the two families have been in the same dynasty and have been officials for many years, so they have some friendship.

It is really surprising that such two families suddenly turned against each other.

"What's going on?" Han Mo didn't intend to leave right now.

"In the ninth year of Shunkang, didn't the emperor order the National History Museum to revise the book to sort out the recruitment of the major families in the north and south since the founding of the country. Since the big families are divided, of course there must be a ranking.

"The officials in charge of compiling this set of histories ranked the Wang family ahead of the Song family based on the family history handed in by the Wang family. The Song family was not happy with the compilation of this history book a while ago. They thought the Wang family had displayed the splendor of a hundred years ago. It is very shameless to suppress their Song family's contribution to the dynasty.

"When the court was arguing, Elder Wang Ge was also annoyed, saying that the Song family had been wasting their lives for so many years, occupying the name of the family, but they didn't contribute any talents to the court, so they had no qualifications to fight at all.

"Sir Song must be out of breath. He went to the palace to find the emperor to uphold justice. The emperor probably didn't want to interfere in their disputes. He asked the prince to come forward and have two cups of tea with him, and he kept the imperial meal. It turned out to be of no use.

"So it is said that Mr. Song wants to be transferred to the sixth department these days.

"Alas," Yang You sighed at this point, "Scholars need face the most. You can call people poor, ugly, or anything, but you can't call them family and children. There are so many people in the Song family. , Didn’t this old Wang Ge stab a hornet’s nest this time!”

Han Mo finally understood.Speaking of which, he also discovered that Song Yiru, who was often received by Mrs. Yang as a guest in the mansion since she was a child, really didn't go to their Han's house very much in the past few months.

He squeezed his chin, and looked suspiciously at the upstairs of the teahouse: "So, she is really unusual here?"

Yang Youdao: "Just now when the eldest son and Miss Su were saying goodbye, the niece and niece of the eldest lady in Zhang Ge's old mansion, who is also the daughter of Li Ke, the inspector and censor, went upstairs."

Han Mo was stunned: "I remember what you said just now about the transfer of Beijing officials to foreign posts, Zhang Ge always supervises?"

"That's right! There are quite a lot of people looking for Elder Zhang Ge these days. Just a few days ago, Elder Zhang Ge celebrated his birthday and set up a few tables in private and low-key."

Han Mo folded his arms and nodded thoughtfully.After a while, he said again: "Song family's matter, should she be a girl's family?"

Since Song Yi's appointment is the niece and aunt of Mrs. Zhang's family, then this matter must have something to do with the Song family's current intentions.

"Then my subordinates won't know about it." Yang You spread his hands, "These are all the affairs of their civil servants, and have nothing to do with us, so the subordinates have never inquired about it."

Han Mo raised his foot and stepped on the rock of falling horses, propped his elbows in thought for a moment, then slapped his legs and said, "Go up and have a look!"

……

Song Yiru in the private room has already exchanged all the necessary greetings with Li Man.

She looked at the opposite side: "The last time I asked Man'er what you inquired about, do you know if there is any clue?"

Li Man nodded, put down his cup and said, "I've already found out from my aunt for you, sister Yi, that there are three vacancies above the sixth rank, all of which are principals, two of whom have already been appointed, and one more, many people are interested. grabbing."

Song Yiru immediately asked, "Who are there?"

"I don't know. My aunt won't be very clear about these things in the court. Even if she knows, she won't tell me casually."

After Li Man finished speaking, he said again: "Uncle Song and the others will naturally handle these matters, and it's too condescending for Uncle Song to be a sixth-rank official. Why do you bother?"

"It's not that the Wang family is too angry!" Song Yiru snorted angrily, "A tree lives like a skin, and a person lives a breath. When the Song family produced talents, his Wang family was still nesting in Shanxi. How long has it been since he got up? He's showing off his power." .

"Father belongs to father. My brother is already a Juren, and he is qualified to be an official. I want him to go to the Sixth Ministry too!"

Li Man's eyes lit up: "Brother Ming is also going to be an official? He won't join Chunwei anymore?"

Song Yi fanned the impossible wind like raising a silk: "I'll find out for him first, and then I'll talk about it! Naturally, he has to make his own choice."
