Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 298 Yang Xian who started to make trouble!

Snapped!
Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table with a slap, the anger on his face was not concealed at all.

Wang Guangyang, the right prime minister, did such a poor job as an agent for the left prime minister!

At this moment, Lao Zhu remembered Liu Bowen's comment at the beginning, and Wang Guangyang's comment was absolutely correct.

His ability is enough to be the right prime minister of Zhongshu province.

Although for the sake of the whole court situation, Li Shanchang should step down from the position of Prime Minister Zuo of Zhongshu Province, but Lao Zhu really didn't know who to turn to for the successor.

This meeting is no longer the question of the previous test, but that the Ministry of Education has never been in charge of the work, and he is going to be exhausted.

Someone has to be able to stand up for a while.

"Call Yang Xian over."

Zhu Yuanzhang issued an order directly.

Although it has not yet reached the one-month deadline, it is not much worse.

Yang Xian soon appeared in Fengxian Hall, and as soon as he met him, he knelt down towards Zhu Yuanzhang and said respectfully, "I bow to Your Majesty."

Compared with the ceremony performed by other ministers when they met Zhu Yuanzhang, it was much more grand.

"I'm asking you, Yang Xian, how is the matter of Wang Guangyang I asked you to investigate?"

Zhu Yuanzhang cut to the chase and asked Yang Xian directly.

Yang Xian immediately replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, since the last time His Majesty asked, I have been doing my best to investigate, and now it has been written into a notebook. Please read it."

While speaking, Yang Xian took out a memorial from his cuff and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

That's right, he had already prepared this thing, just waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to summon him.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the booklet, opened it and looked at it immediately. He didn't know if he didn't read it.

"Yang Xian, can you make sure that everything written in your notebook is true?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yang Xian with a stern face and suppressed his anger.

"I don't dare to lie to Your Majesty in the slightest. What is written in the notebook is all obtained through my own investigation. Your Majesty can verify it at will."

Yang Xian looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang and answered decisively.

This guy Wang Guangyang did really badly, there is no need to smear him, as long as he is realistic, he can be engulfed by Lao Zhu's anger.

"It really makes no sense!"

Zhu Yuanzhang yelled angrily, and threw the folder directly on the table.

"Your Majesty calm down, I think that Prime Minister You may have some unspeakable secrets, otherwise, it would not be like this."

Yang Xian said immediately, but instead of scolding Wang Guangyang, he begged for an explanation.

"Unspeakable concealment?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and said angrily: "What unspeakable secrets can he have? I want to hear it, come here, and call Wang Guangyang to see me!"

Lao Zhu, who was on fire, was about to meet Wang Guangyang immediately, and he didn't care about anything else.

Yang Xian knelt aside, secretly happy in his heart, did Wang Guangyang have a reason, could he not know?

After investigating for so long, it was not for nothing.

Not long after, Wang Guangyang appeared in Fengxian Hall.

"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

Wang Guangyang still looked calm and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although these days he replaced Prime Minister Zuo with Right Prime Minister, he really didn't do much, but he has always been sitting firmly in the tent of the Central Army, and he has never panicked at all.

His principles for being an official are very simple, if you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make fewer mistakes.

Before Li Shanchang retired from illness, his working method has always been very effective.

Therefore, Wang Guangyang has always pursued it.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang's summoning today was a bit strange, and his subordinate Yang Xian was also there, Wang Guangyang had already sensed that something was wrong, but he still maintained his posture.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Wang Guangyang in front of him, and his heart was full of thoughts.

He has great love for Wang Guangyang. In terms of talent, he is far behind Liu Bowen.

And Liu Bowen was named Bo Chengyi, and Wang Guangyang was also named a Loyal and Qin Bo, and he even achieved the position of Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province.

Although he is not Prime Minister Zuo, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to reach this position.

All because Wang Guangyang joined Zhu Yuanzhang's original stock instead of joining halfway like Liu Bowen.

When he was young, Wang Guangyang followed Lao Zhu to revolt against the violent Yuan. He was hired by Lao Zhu as the commander of the marshal's mansion, prosecuted by Jiangnan Province, and was ordered to participate in Chang Yuchun's military affairs.

After the world was settled and the Ming Dynasty was established, Wang Guangyang's position was promoted all the way up, and he soon reached the position of Prime Minister Zhongshu You.

Therefore, although Wang Guangyang's ability is not the best under Lao Zhu's hands, he has a good vision and luck, and he has invested in the original stock, so he naturally gains a lot of trust.

Thinking of the past, the anger in Lao Zhu's heart also dissipated a lot.

Nostalgia is a consistent tradition of Lao Zhu, at least the current Lao Zhu is still very nostalgic.

"Guangyang, there seems to be a lot of backlogs in the affairs of the Ministry of Education recently."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Wang Guangyang.

As soon as this sentence came out, Yang Xian's heart skipped a beat.

After investigating so many things by myself, why did Zhu Yuanzhang just ask Zheng Zhen a flirty question after summoning Wang Guangyang?
what is this?
Pick it up high, put it down gently?
Wang Guangyang immediately replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, since I took over the post of Prime Minister Li, I often feel that I am not capable enough, so I act a little slowly. When it comes to national affairs, Your Majesty decides with one word, and I dare not make rash decisions. "

It is still possible to find a reason, especially Wang Guangyang who has been mixed up to the level of Prime Minister Zhongshu You.

If it is said that he has no ability at all, that would not be true, but ability and attitude towards doing things are two different things.

He found this reason, which is quite reasonable.

He is not Prime Minister Zuo himself, but a substitute, and it is normal that he is not capable enough.

As for the Zhongshu Province, they were all major national affairs, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to worry about everything, which seemed quite normal.

Hearing these explanations, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened significantly, and he said: "Guangyang, Zhongshu Province is good at handling major national affairs, but what should be done must be done. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. I still have high expectations for you. In this way, Yang Xian is here today, I will ask Yang Xian to help you more, and let me do the work well, understand?"

"I thank Your Majesty!"

Wang Guangyang immediately knelt down to thank him.

Yang Xian on the side was completely dumbfounded, how did things develop like this?
Shouldn't Wang Guangyang be brought down?
Then I have great hope to take over the vacant position of Prime Minister Zuo Zhongshu.

But Lao Zhu didn't intend to deal with Wang Guangyang seriously at all in this wave.

All imaginations after that are just imaginations.

However, Yang Xian couldn't get angry yet. As a secret intelligence officer under Lao Zhu, he knew very well that the most correct choice was not to disobey Lao Zhu.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely assist Prime Minister You in handling the affairs of the Ministry of Education."

Yang Xian immediately expressed his opinion, with this appearance, who would have thought that he had long wanted to bring down Wang Guangyang in his heart?
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Very well, Yang Xian, I am very pleased that you can think so, then you two go down, and deal with the backlog as soon as possible."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The two left immediately, and Lao Zhu felt a lot more relaxed.

If there were really so many of these notes, he would not be able to handle them even if he was exhausted.

As soon as Wang Guangyang came back from Zhongshu Province, he immediately started to deal with the backlog. Zhu Yuanzhang personally warned him that even if Wang Guangyang believed in doing less and making fewer mistakes, there was no way to avoid it.

The same is true for Yang Xian, who devoted himself to handling government affairs with Wang Guangyang.

He didn't dare to do black hands, because Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to assist, and if something went wrong, he would definitely be held accountable.

At this moment when the position of Prime Minister Zuo of Zhongshu Province was vacant, Yang Xian did not want to make any mistakes.

Therefore, he had no choice but to help Wang Guangyang do things together first.

For three consecutive days, Wang Guangyang and Yang Xian spent almost all day in the office of the Ministry of Education, dealing with a large number of squeezed government affairs.

Of course, it is definitely impossible to deal with it in three days, but at least the work of sorting into categories has been done, and the number of memorials handed over to Zhu Yuanzhang has decreased significantly.

This is what they want to do, and what Zhu Yuanzhang wants them to do most.

"Master Yang, you have really worked hard these few days."

Wang Guangyang looked at Yang Xian and thanked him.

Regarding his own abilities, Wang Guangyang knew very well that if Yang Xian hadn't tried his best to help him, it would have been difficult to handle the matter to this extent within three days.

"Prime Minister You has said it before, I am just following His Majesty's orders."

Yang Xian replied immediately, looking very humble.

Wang Guangyang stretched out his hand and said, "It's finally over. I've been too tired these days, so I need to take a good rest."

For Wang Guangyang, who always doesn't care about anything on weekdays, these three days are really overloaded.

"Prime Minister You, there is one more matter that needs to be dealt with."

Yang Xian said suddenly.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Wang Guangyang looked at Yang Xian and frowned.

Yang Xian said: "Prime Minister You, you also know that His Majesty granted Su Jing the title of Renyuan Bo in the early court, right?"

"Of course I remember."

Wang Guangyang nodded.

He doesn't care, but he doesn't know anything.

Su Jing, a celebrity in the Ming Dynasty, must be clear about it.

Yang Xian continued: "Your Majesty has appointed Uncle Renyuan, but Uncle Renyuan has never appeared. It stands to reason that this edict should have been issued by the Ministry of Education. Not bad."

After listening to Yang Xian's words, Wang Guangyang thought for a while and said: "It's true, Mr. Yang is thoughtful, I will go to see His Majesty immediately and ask him what he thinks."

Wang Guangyang's first thought was to ask Zhu Yuanzhang, which made Yang Xian unable to sit still.

"Prime Minister Right!"

Yang Xian shouted: "Wait a minute!"

Wang Guangyang stopped and asked, "Master Yang, what's the matter? What's the matter?"

Yang Xian immediately said: "Your Majesty has just warned us that the Zhongshu Province is too slow in handling government affairs. This kind of matter that His Majesty has promulgated earlier is just a matter of the next edict to go through the process. It is not appropriate to bother Your Majesty anymore."

If Wang Guangyang asked directly, there would be no follow-up.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that Wang Guangyang must have done nothing.

But what Yang Xian said made sense.

Old Zhu Na announced the knighthood order in front of civil and military officials in the early morning, and it was indeed just a process.

It's really inappropriate to ask Lao Zhu about this matter.

"Master Yang is very considerate, I'm too impatient, but where is Uncle Renyuan now? I don't know!"

Wang Guangyang said helplessly.

He is not good at investigating things.

Only people like Yang Xian who have racked their brains to climb up the ladder have a better understanding of these things.

"Well, it's a pity, I don't know very well."

Yang Xian sighed slightly, and then left with an excuse.

What happened last time still taught Yang Xian a big lesson, so he directly said that he didn't know.

If Wang Guangyang jumped in, he did it himself and had nothing to do with him.

"Su Jing, Uncle Renyuan."

In the office, Wang Guangyang read Su Jing's name.

He thought about what Yang Xian said before, and it seemed that it really made sense.

……

the other side.

Yang Xian, who left from Zhongshu Province, went directly to Liu Bing, the censor.

The so-called servant censor is the subordinate of censor Zhongcheng. If a senior official of the court violates the law, the servant censor usually reports to censor Zhongcheng and then reports it to the emperor.

To put it bluntly, it is the Commission for Discipline Inspection.

"Master Liu, I'm sorry to bother you."

Yang Xian cupped his hands towards Liu Bing.

"Master Yang, why are you here?"

Liu Bing was a little surprised, but he still bowed his hands and returned the salute, but facing Yang Xian, Liu Bing's attitude was not that of a subordinate.

This is the particularity of Shi Yushi. He is a supervisor of hundreds of officials and a reporting position. The general officials don't like to see Shi Yushi very much.

Because being watched by Shi Yushi means that something is wrong with him.

Yang Xian said: "Master Liu, I'm here because I want to talk to Master Liu about something."

"Master Yang speaks directly."

Liu Bing is very straightforward, after all, what he does on weekdays is to offend people, and just doing it is necessary.

Yang Xian's expression was slightly raised, but it was only for a moment, and he said: "It's like this, except for the Prime Minister You, he is almost addicted to alcohol and sex at other times, and his mother at home doesn't support him. I really can't stand it anymore, so I came to see you, Mr. Liu."

Yang Xian had little courage to make up nonsense in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but he was fearless in front of Liu Bing.

Of course, it's not all a lie. Wang Guangyang doesn't take much care of his old mother.

"Is there such a thing?"

Liu Bing's complexion changed, and he asked immediately.

The Right Prime Minister Wang Guangyang is not filial to his mother, this is a big deal!

Filial piety comes first. Although filial piety is a matter of morality, in the Ming Dynasty, filial piety was a very important quality for an official.

Similarly, if you are unfilial, the consequences will be very serious!

"Master Liu, you can investigate as much as you want, this matter is absolutely true!"

Yang Xian was very sure.

He came to look for Liu Bing, that was to send him a performance.

For a position like Shi Yushi, the higher the rank of the official you impeach, the higher the status in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Who asked Shi Yushi to do this?
Now the left prime minister of the Ming Dynasty, Li Shanchang, is sick at home, and the right prime minister, Wang Guangyang, has the highest official position among civil servants.

If this impeachment can be justified and well-founded, it will be a great achievement for Liu Bing, the imperial censor!

"Master Yang, I understand."

Liu Bing nodded, even if he was ready to investigate.

Yang Xian immediately said: "I hope Master Liu will not spread this matter, after all, I am still under the command of Prime Minister You."

Liu Bing immediately understood: "Don't worry, this matter will definitely not implicate you, Mr. Yang."
