Volume Two, Chapter 91, Examination
When Liu Shuxiang heard that Yang Cong was willing to help, he did not dare to take the airs of his prefect. The next morning, he ordered someone to submit a visit, roughly telling Yang Cong that he wanted to go and have a visit around the afternoon.
Yang Cong is on vacation now, and it's nothing to do anyway. He also wants to see if Liu Shuxiang is a good official just as Li Shier said. He naturally won't refuse if someone wants to visit him.
After he replied to the post, he ordered someone to prepare something. At the 15th hour that day, he ran to the door and waited.
He is a sixth-rank Hanlin Academy editor at this moment. It would be a bit too much to show off in front of a third-rank Shuntian prefecture. If he wants to make people angry and directly join Xia Yan's party, it would be more than worth the loss.
He didn't know that Liu Shuxiang was too principled as an official, and offended many villains. He could only go to the end and did not dare to disobey the principles and accommodate Xia Yan.
Of course, even if he knows, he won't show off his own tricks.
He is not the kind of person who doesn't know who he is when he succeeds. His personality is quite easy-going, which is completely opposite to Xia Yan's arrogant attitude.
Liu Shuxiang didn't expect Yang Cong would run to meet him at the gate. When he got off the sedan chair, he saw Yang Cong standing at the door with a smile, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Oh, Lord Yang, you are so polite. If you have the time to welcome him, you will be welcome him."
Yang Cong smiled and bowed, "Mr. Liu is here, how dare you be negligent? Please ask inside, please inside."
After saying that, he politely led Liu Shuxiang into it.
When Liu Shuxiang saw the scale of the Yang Mansion, he couldn't help but admire. This mansion is really grand, more grand than the mansions of the Six Ministers of the Ministry of Justice and even the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.
Of course, he also knew that this was given to Yang Cong by the emperor. The emperor's favor to the Lu family was obvious to all. It seems that the emperor is not bad for the Lu son-in-law.
He couldn't help but secretly glad that fortunately, he didn't sit and wait for death. With the help of this top scholar, he probably could have been able to overcome this difficulty safely.
Yang Cong didn't know what the prefect was thinking. After he led the person into the lobby of the front yard, he ordered the person to take the best Xiangming. Then he asked with a smile: "Mr. Liu, I heard that you were in a little trouble. I wonder what the hell is going on?"
He was actually taking the exam for Liu Shuxiang. He had already ordered someone to find out what trouble Liu Shuxiang had encountered. The reason why he asked this was to see if Liu Shuxiang was honest. If Liu Shuxiang deliberately concealed something in order to make him take action and said it seemed very simple, then he had to consider whether he should take action. Computer::/
Liu Shuxiang is not a treacherous villain. He came to Yang Cong to help him, and naturally he would not hide it. He even dug a hole to let Yang Cong jump in.
He said bluntly: "Mr. Yang, I'm not satisfied with you. The trouble I encountered this time is really a big deal. The Grandpa Chen Hongchen and the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Mr. Xia Yanxia both have great opinions on me. I guess they are thinking about how to impeach me now."
Chen Hong, the eunuch of Silijian, and Yang Cong, of course, knew that this guy was one of the eunuchs favored by Jiajing, let alone Xia Yan. If he didn't secretly do anything bad, this guy would have become the chief minister of the cabinet.
It seems that Liu Shuxiang is quite honest. He found out that these two of them were the ones he had found. Yang Cong nodded slightly and said lightly: "Mr. Yang, how did you offend Eunuch Chen? Is it just for this imperial village?"
Liu Shuxiang sighed helplessly: "Yes, it's just for this matter that I knew that the eunuchs in the palace could not be messed with. But I didn't expect that Chen Zhong had such a big background. Not only was he supported by the official's pen of the rituals, Chen Hong and Chen, but also stood behind him."
Yang Cong pretended to be puzzled and said, "Mr. Yang, since you know that the eunuchs in the palace cannot be provoked, why do you still have to give the land to the Xu brothers?"
He is continuing to take the exam for Liu Shuxiang. Who knows whether Liu Shuxiang awarded the land to the Xu brothers because he had to accept other people's gifts, or because he was not dealing with Chen Zhong or Chen Hong, he deliberately did it.
When Liu Shuxiang heard this, he couldn't help but say seriously: "As an official, he will do something and not do anything. As a parent and official in the area, he will naturally have to make the decision for the people under his rule and help the evildoers to do something abuse."
What this said seems to be quite upright, is it true?
Yang Cong pretended to say kindness: "Mr. Liu, the official and Eunuch Chen have some friendship. Why don't the official say kindness and you will judge Chen Zhong again. That's it. What do you think?"
He is still taking the exam for Liu Shuxiang. If Liu Shuxiang said it was good, he might really find someone to talk to and help others get rid of this matter. However, he would not pull such a person to himself. If Liu Shuxiang is really so cowardly, it would be useless to pull him here, and problems will be prone to problems in the future.
When Liu Shuxiang heard this, he couldn't help but look gloomy. He wanted to bow his head, so he didn't have to ask Yang Cong to settle the matter himself. He couldn't bow his head even if he didn't want to bow his head.
He could only shake his head and sigh, "Mr. Yang, I still say the same thing. Those who are officials will do something and do not do anything. I will not do anything to help the evildoer. Even if I dismiss the official position and get rid of the official position, I will admit it. In fact, I had expected that there would be such a day. Nowadays, it is difficult to become an official, and it is even more difficult to be a good official who rules the people. I also know that some people cannot offend them. Sometimes it is better to be a little confused when being an official, but I really can't do anything to help the evildoer."
Oh, this guy looks like a good official, with principles and bottom line, and it's very good.
Yang Cong finally tentatively said: "Mr. Liu, you are really not afraid of losing your official position."
Liu Shuxiang sighed helplessly: "There is no way. If you go against your original intention, what if you can survive this? What should you do if you encounter similar things in the future? If you keep going against your original intention, then what is the point of being an official? Lord Yang, if you feel embarrassed, then forget it. I am tired, why don't you go home to retire."
What this said seems to be fake. Yang Cong smiled and shook his head and said, "Mr. Liu, the lower officials just want to make peace the most important, and to turn big things into small things. Since the adults do not want to go against their original intentions, the lower officials can only bite the bullet and try the methods of Eunuch Chen and Lord Xia."
When Liu Shuxiang heard this, he couldn't help but say surprise: "Mr. Yang, are you really willing to help this?"
Just now, he was really desperate. Yang Cong acted like an old man in the officialdom. He didn't want to offend others. He thought he had found the wrong person.
Unexpectedly, Yang Cong suddenly said something like this, and he was so excited.
Yang Cong said lightly: "Mr. Xia, we have not offended once or twice. What's wrong with offending again? As for Chen Hong, did he think this is Zhengde Dynasty!"
What this said is so imposing, it is completely different from what he did just now.
Liu Shuxiang looked at Yang Cong in amazement. After a while, he solemnly bowed: "Mr. Yang, if you can help me overcome the difficulties this time, you will only be sent to you in the future. However, I have a principle to reverse the black and white and help the evildoer. I will not do it."
