Chapter 224 Li Mo

"I know," Yan Song pointed to the note and said, "But the last three words clearly mean that although they are said, what should we do specifically? We also need to listen to our opinions, so we asked 'What should we do'?"

"No, no, no." Yan Shifan flashed with one eye: "The word 'Yi' is not 'Yi', but refers to a person's name."

"who?"

"Yang Yi." Yan Shifan said with certainty: "It must be him."

"Yang Yi..." Ge Lao Yan couldn't remember such a person for a moment. After Yan Shifan reminded him, he remembered the Henan Governor who had made contributions in the treatment of theft and had just been promoted to the Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing. He couldn't help but murmured: "Yang Yi seems to have just arrived at the office shortly... Xian is quick, isn't it quick?"

"I asked Chen Hong who was delivering the letter." Yan Shifan sneered: "Does your father know who His Majesty met this afternoon?"

"Who?" Yan Song's long eyebrows shook slightly.

"Li Mo and Li Shiyan." Yan Shifan said in a deep voice.

"What? Is this back?" Yan Song stood up excitedly and accidentally pulled the anus, causing him to sweat heavily. Yan Shifan quickly massaged his father's sweat, and it took him a while to recover.

Yan Ge is seventy-eighty, and there are many enemies who have caused him headaches in his life, but he has basically been killed by him or killed by death. However, there are always exceptions in everything, and there are still three or two kittens who are still alive. The one who looks the most like a tiger is Li Mo and Li Shiyan, who the emperor just met today.

Who is this person so sacred that can make Yan Ge Lao such a headache? You might as well look at his resume. He was from Ouning, a Jinshi in the 18th year of Zhengde, Shujishi, and later served as the head of the Ministry of Revenue. He was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel and was appointed as the doctor. At that time, the Tianshi Shao Yuanjie was honored to ask for the title of imperial edict, but he silently refused to give up, which made Shao Tianshi have to give up... It can be seen that he was a person who was not afraid of the powerful and adhered to principles.

Looking further down... In the 11th year of Jiajing, he was a fellow examiner of the Wuhui Examination. When he was in the banquet for the Ministry of War, he silently occupied the Binseat and wanted to sit above the Shangshu Wang Xian. Xian impeached him and was exiled to the magistrate of Ningguo. It can be seen that this person has a shallow personality and some are arrogant.

He offended the senior official of the Shangshu and was demoted from the central government to the local government with a bad hat. Many people think that his career is basically over, so he can get extra money and wait for his resignation.

But keep looking down, you will find that miracles were born one after another. He spent a few years to repeatedly move to Zhejiang's left governor, becoming Taichangqing, and completed a counterattack from the local government to the central government. During this term, he showed his magical energy for the first time, and broke the historical conventions and allowed the doctors and professors who taught under him to participate in the selection of the Censor of the Kedao, setting a precedent, and being used.

Then he served as the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Personnel, and was later promoted to the Minister of Personnel. This was another amazing miracle, because the Ministry of Personnel was in charge of the promotion and removal of all officials, and his authority was at the top of the six ministries. Therefore, the Minister of Personnel was also known as the Heavenly Official, and even the Grand Secretary was not divided into Xuan Zi. Therefore, this position could never be directly selected by the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, in order to prevent him from forming cliques and stealing the authority of the lord to be self-dedicated. Only Jiao Fang and Zhang Cai in the early years of Zhengde had achieved it.

But Li Mo could break the example of the Minister of Personnel not being promoted to the Minister of the Secretariat since Jiazi. In the 30th year of Jiajing, the emperor was specially appointed as the Minister of Personnel. This was like a help from gods. Of course, there were no gods in this world, only nobles. Li Mo's nobles were a student he won when he was the only time he took over as an examiner in the martial arts examination. This student was named Lu Bing and Wenming, and was the current emperor's milk brother and the head of the Jinyiwei.

Lu Bing gave this teacher Qu Zong's disciple's courtesy and often said good things to him in front of the emperor. Therefore, although Li Mo was not very polite, had a bad temper, and had a bad relationship with Yan Party. When officials were appointed and removed, he often had conflicts with Yan Song and even had repeated conflicts, but he could be safe for many years.

Later, Yan Song finally found an opportunity to conquer him, but he didn't know that less than a year later, he was specially ordered to be re-elected and re-elected as Minister of Personnel. No need to guess, this is another good thing his "noble student" did.

Now Li Mo has made a comeback and once he arrives in the capital, he gives Yan Dang a blow, obviously announcing to Yan Song that I am back, your good days are over.

"What the hell is Lu Bing doing?" Yan Shifan was also very scared about Li Mo's difficulty in dealing with it, and couldn't help but say angrily. This guy was fearless as soon as he came back. He must have received Lu Bing's support and dared to do so.

Master Yan pondered for a while and asked softly: "How is his current holy family?"

"The emperor praised him, and kept him for dinner. He also gave the imperial letter a letter to praise the word "Loyalty and Good", and ordered him to enter the Xiyuan and allow him to ride a horse in the big house." Yan Shifan said angrily: "I think Lu Bing is taking revenge on Chen Lian."

"No matter what it is for." Yan Song shook his head and said, "We can't move him now, let alone Lu Bing."

"Dad." Yan Shifan said dissatisfied: "Even if you can't move Lu Bing, you can't let Li Mo be arrogant and domineering? Don't forget that next year will be the year of Bingchen! You need to investigate outside!"

Yan Song said unmoved: "Li Mo is supported by Lu Bing, and is the popular man in front of His Majesty. Now the King of Heaven can't move him." He said, "Son, bear it. With his personality, he will make mistakes sooner or later..."

Yan Shifan had no choice but to give up and said in front of him: "What should I do with this memorial? I'm still waiting for a reply outside."

"You can do it yourself..." After Ge Lao Yan said that, he fell asleep.

Yan Shifan muttered, and had to lift his pen and write: "My deputies Yan Shifan took the pen on behalf of his father and reported to the emperor: Zhou Ju should be dismissed from his post, and the vacancy should be adjusted by Yang Yi."

The memorial was handed over and the emperor immediately approved it, proving that his opinion was not wrong at all.

It will take some time for the intrigue in Beijing to come to Hangzhou City. At least the army drove the Japanese and pirates out of Zhejiang. When the troops returned to the city, Hu Zongxian was still dreaming of a governor and said to silently: "When you pass the Jinshi, I will ask Your Majesty for you and come back to be the governor of Zhejiang."

He smiled silently and said, "It's better not to be the best. The top scholar was only awarded the editor of the sixth-rank Hanlin Academy. The master directly promoted the lower official to the fourth-rank senior official, and I'm afraid that people would be jealous of them."

Hu Zongxian said disrespectfully: "It is a mediocre person not to be jealous of others. Besides, I was directly promoted from the seventh-rank inspector to the fourth-rank governor. You are also an inspector now, why can't you?"

Silent waved his hand and smiled, "Sir, is a minister of Jian's heart, so it is a different matter."

"Aren't you Jian Zai Di Xin?" Hu Zongxian laughed. At this time, the cold wind blew, and his heart, which was a little uncontrollable because of his long-cherished wish, finally calmed down. He also felt that it was a bit unreliable to let a person under twenty years old become the head of a province, so he laughed dryly: "Even if the governor has some difficulties, the prefect is always fine."

He said silently: "It's not that much, so I'll lower it to two levels first." But he also knew that this person can share hardships and hardships, not wealth and honor, and don't expect him to help him at critical moments.

When he returned to Hangzhou City, he could not rest. He sent Tiezhu to inform Mrs. Wa and two old Peng, and asked them to send some staff to go to the vassal treasury with him to collect food and wages.

With the Governor's approval, and the fierce wolf soldiers were eyeing each other, the officials in the Treasury did not dare to take Qiao or use tricks, and obediently delivered enough silver and enough food...

In the afternoon, Chen Mo slowly came out of the city with a team that transported food, grass and food, first gave it to Mrs. Wa, then to Peng Xuchen, and finally to Peng Mingfu. Wherever he went, there were cheers that rang through the sky, and even words of gratitude could not be finished.

When he arrived at Peng Mingfu's place, Lao Peng insisted on taking silent tea, but this time he served it neither tea nor oil tea soup—but a bowl of honey water, with four boiled and peeled eggs in the water, and each egg was also filled with exquisite silvery toothpicks. The eggs were dipped in honey water and looked dazzling and very attractive.

"This is called?" Lao Peng came again.

"Full and full." He smiled silently. He knew that this was the highest tea ceremony among the four Tujia teas, and it was the highest etiquette specifically for the elders and other distinguished guests. Peng Mingfu gave himself this tea, and his hint was self-evident.

He ate all four eggs and tea soup in one breath, then took out a golden croaker from his arms and put it in an empty tea bowl... This is not the meaning of giving tea money, but the meaning of reciprocating the other party's respect and being happy and rich after receiving the other party's respect.

Seeing the silent expression, Peng Mingfu left the last bit of doubt in his heart. He whispered loudly: "Celebrate the banquet!" Amid the cheers of everyone, he and Peng Xuchen clamped the silence left and right, and pulled him into the big tent.

This time I stopped having tea, but instead of a traditional Tujia feast, in addition to the pork, steamed pork, pork cake, round slices, pork tongue, ears and other eight dishes, there is also a stir-fry dish and several soup dishes.

The stir-frying is made of more than ten kinds of vegetables and served on a large plate. Although there is only one dish, it is comparable to the amount of seven or eight ordinary dishes, so it is called the top dish. Most of the soup dishes are hot pots, such as pork pots, mutton pots, chicken pots, duck pots, fish pots, etc. A kind of meat dish is one ‘head’. The more ‘head’, the more meat dishes, the higher the banquet level.

There were sixteen banquets in this table. In this way, Peng Mingfu kept saying: "The hospitality is not good."
