Chapter 785: Killing the Game

There are many great masters like Yang Tinghe, except for bachelors from the Four Halls and Two Pavilions, as well as Hanlin Bachelors, who have the opportunity to enter the cabinet.

However, Yang Tinghe has a great advantage because everyone knows that he offended Liu Jin. When Yang Tinghe was in the Hanlin area, he was mainly responsible for historians. At that time, Li Dongyang was ordered to compile the Ming Dynasty Congregation, and Yang Tinghe was one of Li Dongyang's main deputy. Last year, because Yang Tinghe offended Liu Jin, Liu Jin won a small mistake in the "Ming Dynasty Congregation" and deducted the second-level salary of Yang Tinghe and Grand Secretary Li Dongyang.

In other words, Mr. Yang was deducted his salary, but Liu Jin's vengeance gave Yang Tinghe an extremely favorable advantage to some extent. Jiao Fang is about to collapse now, and other candidates may not have any collusion with Liu Jin, but who knows?

Only the conflict between our scholar Yang and Liu Jin is open. Withdrawal of wages is like killing parents. Liu Jin arranged a Jiao Fang before, which was enough to make Liu Jian and others uncomfortable. Now, should we repeat the same mistakes and stuff Liu Jin's followers into it?

Therefore, Ye Chunqiu could almost imagine that Liu Jian and others would definitely support Yang Tinghe at that time, because this was the least bad choice. Once the cabinet ministers strongly supported him, Yang Tinghe would have a great advantage in the court recommendation, and he would have a chance of winning the chance of entering the cabinet.

Ye Chunqiu looked at the leisurely scholar Yang in the East Pavilion and smiled in his heart. He never expected that the person who crushed Jiao Fang's last straw was not himself, but Yang Tinghe.

If you think about it carefully, there are many officials in the Ming Dynasty, but the key positions are scarce. Think about it, they are both fifth-rank officials and grand clerks. They are prime ministers, but you hide in this dark place to rub mud and pick your nose. I am afraid that if you are, you will not be able to balance your heart. Those who do not fight or rob will not be saints. Which of these top elites in the Ming Dynasty are not reading the books of sages and holding the concept of governing the country and pacifying the world? Oh, I promise you to govern the country and pacifying the world. I have to use a screen to cover the urine bucket next to the public housing. They are all bachelors. If you don’t give you a stick behind your back, you will be sorry for your ancestors.

Yang Tinghe was very "honest". Although he used Ye Chunqiu, he still obediently shook everything out because this was an open conspiracy. If he was hidden, Ye Chunqiu's IQ would sooner or later come back.

Anyway, everyone stands on the same front and regards Jiao Fang as a thorn in his eyes, so there is nothing to be hesitant.

Ye Chunqiu also learned what it means to be a slap in this process. He really benefited a lot. He actually developed the mentality of studying hard. He not only wanted to surround others and give others a slap, but also to guard against himself, in case he was the one who was beaten and was a dangerous journey.

Ye Chunqiu hurriedly said: "Yang Gong's strange plan to eliminate traitors, and the officials admire him."

I admire you, but I just took the opportunity to curry favor with this quasi-cabinet Grand Secretary. At least we both have a good impression and we can meet each other in the future.

Yang Tinghe smiled and said, "I dare not take it, I dare not take it." He sat down, took a sip of tea, and then said meaningfully: "Your Majesty will probably summon Ye Shi Xue soon."

Ye Chunqiu was a little unbelievable, but shortly after he finished speaking, an eunuch came and said, "Ye Shixue, Your Majesty is here to invite you."

Yang Tinghe showed an unfathomable smile, and Ye Chunqiu was a little surprised. This scholar Yang was simply a sweeping monk in the East Pavilion. He hid in this small public room every day, probably because he had studied the ecology of the emperor and the court.

Ye Chunqiu did not dare to be negligent, so he hurriedly left the Dong Pavilion public room and headed towards the warming pavilion.

The East Pavilion and the Warm Pavilion are just separated by a wall, but the wall is in the shape of an l-shaped wall, so you have to walk around a stick of incense. When you arrive in the Warm Pavilion, Zhu Houzhao is sitting quietly. Ye Chunqiu salutes, and Zhu Houzhao looks at Ye Chunqiu very seriously and said, "Three brothers, sit."

A eunuch set up a brocade pun, and Ye Chunqiu sat down sideways.

Seeing Zhu Houzhao's face was as deep as water and his face was depressed, he knelt down and there was a chess square in front of him.

Zhu Houzhao pursed her lips and said impatiently to a little eunuch beside her: "Have you come?"

The eunuch said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you haven't come yet. In the past few days, Jiao Gongxuan has been ill, so he is not in the cabinet and has gone to the Jiao family to pass on oral orders."

Zhu Houzhao narrowed her eyes and showed no expression.

Ye Chunqiu thought to himself that this little emperor is really a very revengeful person. When his elder brother-in-law scolded him a few times, he held a grudge to the end. Every now and then, he took out the words his elder brother-in-law had sarcasticized him. Today, Jiao Fang... is afraid it will be difficult to be good.

After waiting for a long time, Zhu Houzhao obviously had no mood to talk to Ye Chunqiu. The warm pavilion was silent. Jiao Fang finally arrived late. He came in tremblingly and then bowed and said, "My minister Jiao Fang, I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao's face, which had been tense for a long time, suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, Jiao Qing family, I have been waiting for you for a long time, why? You always call it a disease. Is this disease cured now?"

Jiao Fang didn't know why His Majesty summoned him back, and he felt a little nervous. He only heard that he was summoning him privately, but because it didn't seem like he was going to be punished, but when he entered the warm pavilion, he saw Ye Chunqiu sitting with his body, his face looked a little bad.

He was quite calm and calm, so he hurriedly said, "It's already a little better."

"Just a little?" Zhu Houzhao smiled again. This guy seemed to be more and more similar to Ye Chunqiu. Even this hypocritical smile was the same as Ye Chunqiu's smile, and he looked very sincere. He said, "I suddenly want to play chess. Ye Aiqing is not good at chess skills, and it's boring to play. I thought of Jiao Aiqing, Jiao Aiqing, I have many days without playing chess with you. Anyway, Jiao Aiqing has also taken sick leave today. I don't have to go to the cabinet to work hard, so I can just play a game of chess with me."

Just playing chess?

Jiao Fang couldn't help but feel a little suspicious. He looked at Ye Chunqiu sideways, but saw that Ye Chunqiu's face was plain and seemed to be absent-minded. Looking at Zhu Houzhao again, with sincerity on his face, he had to say embarrassedly: "I dare not obey."

So he knelt down at Zhu Houzhao's confrontation. Zhu Houzhao smiled, showed his white teeth, and said, "In the past, I asked you to make a move first, and today, as usual, you make a move first."

Jiao Fang gradually regained his feelings. Zhu Houzhao's chess skills have always been "excellent", so Jiao Fang, who is "backward" in chess skills, is often courteous to Zhu Houzhao. Today, he suddenly felt that his Majesty had forgotten the past? Yes, His Majesty's temperament has always been like this. Eunuch Liu also said that His Majesty is prone to being soft-hearted. It seems... this time he seems to have missed it.
