Chapter 190 Precise Sniping
It was also noon, and in the elegant room on the third floor of Shanshui Restaurant in Guangzhaifang, Yang Li was also inviting Yu Wenjing to drink.

Official Yu Wenjing was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War. It sounds very high-ranking, but it is not.

Minister of the Ministry of War is nominally the chief officer of the Ministry of War, but it is a very embarrassing position. The general daily affairs of the Ministry of War are in charge of the Minister of War.

If it is necessary to apply for a memorial for approval, it is not handed over to the Shangshu, but the Minister of the Ministry of War will hand it over to the Minister of the Shangshu.

In short, the Ministry of War Shangshu can't reach the sky and the ground can't touch the ground. It's awkward to hang in the air.

But Shangshu also has advantages, that is, high rank, a third-rank senior official, and the same level as Xiangguo and General. Generally, when promoting Xiangguo, Shangshu is often considered first. After all, the six ministers are candidates for Xiangguo.

Yu Wenjing took the initiative to fill Yang Teng's glass of wine, and asked with concern: "Just now, Minister Yang said that a high-ranking official from the military was promoted to the prime minister. Is this news true?"

Yang Li picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Of course it is true. This is the news from Mrs. Guo Guo. How could it be wrong? Add three deputy ministers and implement the administrative hall system. It is rare for Shangshu Yuwen to think about who the military representative will be. ?”

Yang Teng knew that someone from the Yang family was about to enter the political affairs hall as deputy prime minister, of course he thought it was him, Yang Guozhong was relegated to be Yizhou governor, and it was less than a year ago, so it was Yang Guozhong's turn.

In the past two days, Yang Tie was extremely excited, and in his dreams he was thinking about the matter of being the prime minister. Today, he also talked with Yu Wenjing at the request of Mrs. Guo Guo, and gave Yu Wenjing a hint.

"Is the Holy Majesty's third candidate considering me?" Yu Wenjing was so excited that his pouring hands trembled.

"The Holy Majesty hasn't announced yet. No one knows who it is, but the conditions are here. You must be born in the army, and you must also have enough civil service qualifications to be a prime minister. Think about it, Yuwen Shangshu! How many senior officials in the court meet the requirements?" This condition? Besides, the barbarians don’t consider it.”

Yu Wenjing searched quickly in his mind. Among the nobles in Guanlong, he was the only one who met the qualifications. The others were all military positions and had no civil service qualifications. There were a few senior officials in the local area, such as Xianyu Zhongtong, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, and Zhang Wei, who stayed behind in Luoyang. Qiqiu and Hedong Jiedu envoy Han Xiulin, but they are all a little short of the qualifications of senior court officials.

Yu Wenjing suddenly understood that this aspect was completely tailor-made for him, could it be a reward from the emperor?
Yang Li lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Madam said, as long as you do your best to help the Yang family bring down Li Linfu, the right hand will belong to the Yang family, and the left hand will belong to you!"

Yu Wenjing's legs softened and he couldn't sit still. He suddenly had the urge to kneel on the ground and swear.

In the afternoon, Zhang Jun came to the son-in-law's mansion in despair, and found his brother Zhang Ji, who married Princess Ningqin as his wife and served as Taichangqing.

In the inner hall, after listening to his elder brother's narration, Zhang Jie immediately complained to him: "Yang Shenjin almost died because of the prophecy book, the lesson is here, if you don't learn it, instead you hide the prophecy book in the study of the outer house, and write about your experience indiscriminately." , isn’t this the way to bring disaster?”

Zhang Jun was full of grievances and said: "I have raised the Han family for seven years, and no one has ever known about it. How could I have thought that Li Linfu would find out all of a sudden."

Zhang Jie hated his brother's carelessness, and said bitterly: "How could you not know, I know! Those who know about this kind of thing will usually turn a blind eye and close their eyes. No one will trouble you. The key is that you participated in the Yang family's framing of Li Linfu. Grandson, so he shot you, this is something you can imagine with your feet, and you don't take it seriously."

Zhang Jun was extremely remorseful in his heart, and said for a long time: "I have nothing to do, so I came to ask you for help."

Zhang Jie is really helpless, involving the prophecy has always been a serious crime, and the ties are extremely extensive. Once his brother is questioned because of the prophecy, he will also be implicated, and his father's name will be destroyed after death.

Zhang Ji walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and asked again: "Are you sure that Li Linfu got the prophecy?"

Zhang Jun shook his head, "I'm not sure, but since he mentioned Yongda Fang, I think it can only be him."

"What if it's not him?"

Zhang Jun didn't know what to say, at this moment, the steward said from the hall: "I want to report to the son-in-law, a person came from outside the house, and said that under Li Xiangguo's order, I will send some gifts to the son-in-law."

Zhang Ji and Zhang Jun glanced at each other, Zhang Ji hurriedly asked, "Where is the thing?"

"The thing was carried into the mansion. It was a big wooden box. The man has already left."

"Bring over the wooden box!"

Not long after, two servants brought a box, Zhang Jie walked out of the inner hall quickly, opened the box himself, both brothers were stunned at the same time, inside the box were the three treasures of white jade, the white jade screen, the white jade unicorn and the white jade ruler.

There was also a plain note on it, Zhang Ji picked it up, and wrote a line on it, "I got it by chance from your ancestors, and I hereby return it!" It was signed by Li Linfu.

Zhang Ji and Zhang Jun looked at each other, Zhang Jun asked puzzled, "What does Li Linfu mean?"

Zhang Jie smiled wryly for a long while and said, "This is the courtesy first and the soldiers later, give us a favor, if we don't appreciate it, the prophecy case will happen."

"Could it be that he wants to use the prophecy to control us?"

"I can't see through it either. Maybe he just doesn't allow you to get closer to the Yang family! At least he won't use the prophecy to make trouble now."

Zhang Jun nodded, "Since we can't see through his intentions, we can only take one step at a time."

Zhang Ji pondered for a moment and then said: "But there is one thing you have to do. Let Zhang Yan apologize to Li Ye. This is very important and must be done."

Yu Wenjing's official room is also in the Ministry of War, located in a small courtyard in the innermost part of the Ministry of War. He usually has nothing to do, just drink tea and read "Di Bao". The content of the meeting should be prepared.

Speaking of which, Yu Wenjing is almost 60 years old. In a few years, he should apply for an official position and go home to retire.

However, Yu Wenjing was very excited by the conversation with Yang Zhen at noon today, and the ambition that was about to disappear in his heart was aroused again.

Yu Wenjing returned to the official room, and just walked to the gate of the courtyard, only to hear two officials chatting in the courtyard.

"Shangshu Yuwen is going to be in bad luck now. Dismissal from office is a light matter, and he might even be deprived of his title!"

"No, it's too bad. There are three cases of extermination of the door alone. You have raised a demon!"

Yu Wenjing's hair stood on end when he heard that, he walked into the yard quickly, and angrily said, "What are you talking about?"

The sound was like thunder, and the two attendants were so frightened that they were at a loss and quickly stood up and lowered their heads.

Yu Wenjing grabbed the two of them and said viciously: "I heard it clearly just now, what kind of bad luck is going to happen to me, tell me quickly!"

One of the officials said tremblingly: "We heard a saying that Yushitai wrote a letter to impeach Shangshu, and his grandson committed crimes, full of evil. Everyone is talking about this matter, and the court has spread it all over."

Yu Wenjing's eyes widened, Yu Shitai impeached himself?

He suddenly asked anxiously: "What kind of grandson should I indulge?"

"It seems to be your grandson Yuwen Siwu. He has done a lot of bad things, and we have all heard about it."

Yu Wenjing suddenly opened his mouth, and he suddenly understood that at this critical moment, Li Linfu made a move.

In the afternoon, a sensational news came out from Yushitai. Yushitai impeached Yu Wenjing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, for committing crimes against innocent people.

This impeachment came too timely. The emperor Li Longji had just drafted three candidates for deputy prime ministers, but they had not been announced yet. He planned to discuss with the current two prime ministers tomorrow morning, and then make an official announcement.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wenjing, one of the three candidates, was impeached by Yushitai at this juncture.

Li Longji put the draft list back in the drawer without showing any signs of expression, and waited and watched.
