Starting from the world of Joy of Life

Chapter 90 Li Yunrui: Okay, let’s arrange it
"In that case, thank you very much, uncle."

Ye Zheng stood up and bowed deeply in thanks.

I also felt emotional.

So much time has passed, and Lao Deng is not that thick-skinned, so it is possible that the credit can be attributed to him.

Thanks to old Taishan.

Lao Deng, you should pay me back what you owe me!

"Sit down and talk, sit down and talk." Fan Jian smiled and pressed his hands.

"Anzhi, we haven't sat together for a drink in a while. Let's have a drink together." Ye Zhong changed the topic to Fan Xian.

"Uncle, I toast to you." Fan Xian stood up.

Ye Zhong drank a cup, looked at Fan Xian carefully, and said, "An Zhi has become much calmer."

Fan Jian also looked at his son.

He lived with his son all day, and some of the changes could only be noticed by someone like Ye Chong who rarely saw him.

"I've gone through a lot of hardships." Fan Jian said with a sigh.

Fan Xian smiled, somewhat sadly, with inexplicable emotion in his eyes, and said, "The situation is pressing."

"old."

Ye Zheng added a word in time.

Ye Chong, Fan Jian, Fan Sizhe, as well as Fan Ruoruo, Cui Yan and Liu Ruyu on the other side of the screen were all stunned, then shook their heads with amusement.

“How rude! An Zhi is your master.” Ye Zhong suppressed his smile in time and scolded.

"Uncle, that's not necessary. At my age, I just want to get some experience." Fan Xian waved his hands repeatedly.

The family knows their own affairs.

There are some things between Ye Zheng and him that are clear to each other without having to be stated explicitly.

How did he gain fame from his three hundred poems and bring back Zhuang Mohan's collection of books? If it were Ye Zheng, he could do the same.

"It's me, Meng Lang, Master." Ye Zheng bowed slightly, picked up the wine glass again, and said, "Come, Master, I'll toast you a glass."

"Uh...ok."

"Teacher, you have a good alcohol tolerance. I will toast you another glass to thank you for your care in the examination room."

"No... okay."

"Master, I still remember your advice to me some time ago. One more cup."

"Stop! I don't want the title of this division."

"... "

imperial study room

"Ask for grace?"

Emperor Qing paused in sharpening the arrowhead and glanced at Fan Jian.

"Yes, this child's ranking is average, and he is sent away, so the elders will always have to make some plans for him." Fan Jian's tone was gentle, as if he was chatting about family matters.

Emperor Qing chuckled.

It’s rare.

His brother hasn't spoken to him like this for more than ten years.

"Besides, this kid went on a diplomatic mission to Northern Qi last time and he had a hard time."

Fan Jian's words immediately made Emperor Qing frown again.

"Are you saying that I am mean and ungrateful?" Emperor Qing's eyes became sharp and he looked straight at Fan Jian.

The latter was neither anxious nor slow in his heart, but his actions were swift, and he said hurriedly, "I dare not, I am terrified."

"What are you afraid of?" Emperor Qing shouted, and after a while, he said, "Where are you going to send him to?"

What qualifications does Fan Jian have to finalize this matter when he asked this question?
It's full of traps!
"I would like to ask Your Majesty to send this child to Hangzhou." Fan Jian did not hide anything and said directly.

"Hangzhou, Jiangnan..." Emperor Qing pondered for a while and asked, "County magistrate? Procurator, judge? Or?"

"It's all up to your Majesty," said Fan Jianli.

Just ask for one.

Ask again...

Isn't that just being arrogant?
The Emperor's eyes relaxed a little, and he said, "Then go to Yangzhou and be a judge."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Remember, I don't owe him anything. Go ahead."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

On that day, fellow apprentice Gong Dian, who had not had any contact with Ye Chong for a long time, came to Ye's house with gifts after leaving the government office and had a long chat with Ye Chong, thus dispelling the rumor among the officials in Kyoto that Gong Dian had broken up with the Ye family.

Two days later, Ye Chong went to the palace to make a personal report. On the terrace outside the imperial study, His Majesty spoke to him for a long time, and they seemed to be getting along very well.

"I guess it won't be long before the second brother's followers will advise him to take the initiative to visit you to show their intention to win you over." Ye Zheng said with a smile.

There was a hint of doubt in the smile.

“This… doesn’t seem like that person’s work. It’s too direct.” Ye Chong was also puzzled.

I've never seen such a straightforward approach from that person.

Beside the candlelight, both the father and son looked thoughtful.

Ye Zheng thought of something, smiled, and said, "I'm afraid that my job as the Yangzhou Tongpan will not be stable."

Ye Zhong also understood. "The position of Tongpan is not a good one. You are an assistant official, in charge of everything, but you don't have the power to make decisions. If the Yangzhou government wants to exclude you, it will be difficult for you to do it."

"It's good that it's not easy to do. The most important thing is that the mission went terribly wrong and they were taken back to Kyoto. You and your mother were implicated and expelled from Kyoto."

Ye Zheng's words made Ye Zhong's eyes widen. He said in a deep voice, "What a huge mistake that would be."

There was a hint of anger in his words.

Ye Zheng smiled grimly, "At least, it's a mistake that the entire Daqing officialdom can't stand."

Ye Zhong's eyes became even colder, "The Ye family has some influence in the Jiangnan Army. If this is impossible, go ask them for help."

Ye Zheng shook his head gently, "Thank you, father. We'll talk about it when there's no other way to go."

……

a few days later

Fan Mansion
Because of the investigation of a case of cheating in the imperial examination, which involved a murder case, the eldest uncle successfully brought down his father-in-law.

It can be considered a great act of filial piety.

"Thank goodness you reminded me before, otherwise, my uncle would really think that His Majesty wanted to change the prime minister instead of deposing him." Fan Xian felt a little scared.

He had tried every means to persuade his father-in-law the day before yesterday, and it was only when the Black Cavalry arrived that his father-in-law finally came to his senses. In the end, it was only thanks to the Tisi badge that his father-in-law's life was saved.

"The emperor's heart is as deep as the abyss." Ye Zheng sighed in a fake manner.

A trace of ferocity flashed across the eldest brother-in-law's face, "The emperor's heart is as deep as the abyss? Is there such a disgraceful emperor? He sent cavalry to disguise as bandits to kill the minister who was retiring to his hometown!"

Ye Zheng smiled.

Lao Deng has done a lot of undignified things.

He doesn't care about royal dignity at all, it's just something he talks about.

Now that my eldest uncle is in charge of one place, he doesn't have to remind people that there is a "nail" in the house.

Let my uncle complain.

"By the way, what brings you to see me?" After saying a few words angrily, Fan Xian put away his unnecessary expression and asked.

"I originally wanted to ask you to borrow some connections in Yangzhou from your father-in-law, but now it seems like it's a wasted trip." Ye Zheng sighed.

"That's really not right..." Fan Xian said, then suddenly stopped and said, "No, you should have guessed that the prime minister was deposed. You definitely didn't come to ask me to borrow connections from my uncle."

Ye Zheng smiled and said, "Do you think that if ordinary people provide evidence to the Inspection Bureau that officials outside the capital, such as officials in Yangzhou Prefecture, are corrupt, accepting bribes, or bending the law for personal gain, will the Bureau deal with it?"

"You want to use public resources for personal gain again?" Fan Xian said speechlessly.

Ye Zheng looked helpless, "That can't be helped. The Inspection Bureau is indeed notorious in the Daqing officialdom."

"Then don't use it."

"No, we can talk."

"Yes, we can talk about it, hehe..."

...

Xinyang
Imperial Villa
"Your Highness, it has been confirmed that Ye Zheng will serve as the Tongpan of Hangzhou Prefecture." At this moment, everyone in the mansion is their own people, and the female officials are not so secretive.

"Hangzhou Prefecture, Shangzhou Tongpan..."

Li Yunrui sneered, "Okay, let's arrange it."
