Chapter 144 Looking for a backer
When Yang Ze saw the little eunuch reaching out his hand, he immediately understood what it meant. He quickly turned around and winked at Yan Chenghou who was far behind.
Yan Chenghou and Fu Bingrong were both here. When they heard that an imperial edict had come, they all ran out to accompany Yang Ze to receive the edict. In fact, they just kowtowed. When they heard that Yang Ze became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, they didn't know what kind of official he was, but they were naturally very happy after being promoted.
Yan Chenghou came over immediately, took out a gold ingot from his arms and handed it to Yang Ze. Yang Ze re-handedly sent it to the little eunuch.
The little eunuch's eyes were straightened. This was a gold ingot. The first time he received such a heavy gift, if he made it into golden melon seeds, he would not have to make hundreds of them. This Yang Ze was much more generous than Mao's greetings!
The little eunuch was happy in his heart, and he quickly said, "I'm sorry, Yang Shaoqing, you're too polite. Well, that's the case. The emperor said you would determine the case and invented a kind of case... and that one is not remembered. Anyway, because you invented that, and then the Yong'an Prince Consort recommended you to become the official of the Dali Shaoqing. If there are too many, our family will not know!"
This sentence was enough. Yang Ze suddenly realized that it was because of this. His promotion was actually because the case was repeated. He asked again: "So, who will leave the matter of offering prisoners?"
The little eunuch shook his head: "We don't know about this, you have to ask others. By the way, Yang Shaoqing, after the imperial edict, you have to report to Dali Temple immediately. You have to go tomorrow, and this cannot be delayed."
Yang Ze nodded, expressed his gratitude again, and sent the little eunuch out.
As soon as he sent the little eunuch away, Wu Youren came. He found Yang Ze in a hurry and shouted: "Brother Yang, congratulations, you have been appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple by the Emperor, and the official documents have been sent to the Ministry of Personnel. You will be able to report to Dali Temple tomorrow. After receiving the news, Brother Yu rushed over to congratulate you immediately!"
Yang Ze hurriedly said, "The person who sent the order just now has arrived. But, Lord Wu, why did the emperor suddenly appoint me as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple? Why is it not another official? Even if the case repeats itself, it should be the Ministry of Justice. But because of the recommendation of the Prince Consort of Yong'an? How could he recommend me? This really makes me confused!"
The two entered the house together. After sitting down, Wu Youren said, "How could the Prince Consort Yong'an recommend you? Maybe it's because of the eldest princess. I don't know much about this. When did you meet the Prince Consort Yong'an? It's logical that you should be a little unhappy?"
Yang Ze touched his forehead and said, "It was the Prince Consort of Yong'an whom I met yesterday. His name was Mao Wen'an, right? He also met the deputy general manager of the palace, named Liang Dazhong..." He said what happened last night.
Wu Yourenqi said, "Can you say a few polite words to the Princess Yong'an. He just pretended it was okay? Well, it should be that he went back to his house to talk about this with Princess Yong'an, but even if Princess Yong'an wants to win you over, she won't be so anxious. I'll let the Princess enter the palace to recommend you this morning!"
Although he was the central servant of Fengge and knew a lot of private news about the court palace, he was not a god. He could not guess what Princess Yong'an thoughts were, and he really couldn't figure out why Princess Yong'an was so anxious to recommend Yang Ze.
Wu Youren couldn't understand, and Yang Ze didn't understand even more. He said, "What does the relationship between the eldest princess? Could it be that the eldest princess asked her to recommend me? I don't know the eldest princess, and I don't even know where her family is!"
Wu Youren whispered and said in a low voice: "Isn't it because of the murder of his husband?" Seeing that there was no outsider in the house, he told the story of the eldest princess.
Yang Ze listened and was surprised and said, "It's because of this, no wonder. No wonder our Guazhou governor and the Chief Secretary were particularly concerned about this case. It turns out that the allusion is here!"
Wu Youren smiled and said, "The Dali Temple is a good place. It is very idle on weekdays. However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. It is best not to have any problems in normal times. But once something happens, it is a big deal. So Brother Yang, you must have a backer behind you, otherwise you must be regarded as a scapegoat. Who do you plan to be your backer? Forget Princess Yong'an, even if it is recommended by her, it is just to please the eldest princess, but I don't think it's okay to find the eldest princess as a backer. It's easy to go on her boat, but it's difficult to get down. If it sinks, there will be a disaster for death!"
Yang Ze grinned, and he heard the smell. After a long time of work, Wu Youren came so anxiously to be a lobbyist for others. He said that Princess Yong'an was not worthy of being a backer, and said that the eldest princess's ship would sink, so it was obvious that there was someone behind him, and he wanted to pull himself into the camp of the man behind him.
Taking a team is a big deal. It is good to stand right and anything is good. If you stand wrong, it will be bad, especially when the queen is old and the position of the prince is not set, standing in the wrong team is equivalent to being on the dead end. It is difficult to think about it anyway.
Yang Ze could not agree to Wu Youren's proposal so easily. He dared to guarantee that he would just show his whisper and ask Wu Youren, who should I find a backer? Then Wu Youren will immediately give him a name, or will he not agree? Promise is equivalent to boarding another boat. Who knows whether the ship is strong or not. If it sinks faster than the eldest princess, wouldn't that be bad? But if he doesn't agree, Wu Youren will probably turn against him immediately. He is the central servant of Fengge. If he trips up, it wouldn't be worse!
After a little silence, Yang Ze glanced at Wu Youren and saw that he was full of Jiepan. That means you should ask me quickly, who can be your backer? As soon as you ask me, I will find you a backer immediately!
Yang Ze said: "This, to be honest, I don't know what Dali Temple is for? How can I find a backer!"
Wu Youren said excitedly, "Brother Yang, don't make such jokes. Dali Temple is a place to judge cases, and it is even higher than the Ministry of Justice. This is well-known. Why don't you say you don't know!"
Yang Ze hurriedly said, "I really don't know. At the beginning of this year, I was a friend of a small medicine shop in Guazhou. I had eaten all day and had no meals. The biggest official I had ever met was the captain of our county. Where can I know what Dali Temple is for?"
Wu Youren paused for a moment and didn't say a word immediately, thinking: "I was reckless just now. I thought he was young and even if he was a little smart, he wouldn't be too versatile, especially in the affairs of the court. He wouldn't know that he was promoted just now and didn't have to rush to find a backer. I didn't expect that he was very clever. The meaning in his words was that he didn't want to find a backer so quickly. This is nothing. As long as something happens, are you afraid that you won't come to your door automatically!"
After a smile, Wu Youren said, "This is right. It seems that you really don't know what Dali Temple does. It doesn't matter. After you go there, you will understand in a few days. This is not a matter of rush. It will take some time to get familiar with your colleagues."
Seeing that he no longer mentioned his backing, Yang Ze seemed to understand what he meant. Some words were hard to say clearly, which would hurt his feelings! He said, "Yes, life is long, take your time, don't worry!"
"Yes, don't worry. Brother Yang has to celebrate today. It's better to have Brother Yu join us. Let's go to Jinyu Pavilion and have a few drinks!" Wu Youren said with a smile.
Yang Ze naturally agreed that Jinyu Pavilion was a good place. He had a great time yesterday. When he went there again today, someone would treat him. It was a good thing! He called Fu Bingrong and the others, and everyone went to Jinyu Pavilion again.
At the wine table, Wu Youren was very tactful and didn't say anything about backing, and didn't even hint. It was like he had never mentioned it at all. He just told Yang Ze about what to pay attention to when entering Dali Temple, and also said about the banquet offering prisoners, and left it to Li Bozhi to do it. Yang Ze no longer had to be responsible.
After drinking and eating, he left the restaurant. Wu Youren suddenly laughed and said, "Brother Yu suddenly remembered a sentence. This is really accurate and funny."
Yang Ze said: "What are you talking about so funny? Let's listen to it, so that I can smile too."
Wu Youren smiled and said, "It's about that Li Bozhi. He is an old and immortal guy. As long as he participates in everything, he will have to mess up the evil. This is what you say, Brother Yang. Isn't that true!"
Yang Ze didn't understand and asked, "What has Mr. Li ruined the matter?"
Wu Youren said: "You should have shown your face in this matter, but once he disturbs it, you can't be the prisoner. However, after he disturbs it, you are promoted to the official position and become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. This is a blessing in disguise!"
"So, Mr. Li is still an old lucky star!" Yang Ze laughed. In fact, Li Bozhi didn't mess with anything, but he was just too delayed in doing things.
The two said goodbye at the entrance of the restaurant, and Yang Ze brought Fu Bingrong and others back to the Bingma Si.
As soon as he entered the Mars of the Army, Fu Bingrong said, "Master, if you become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, then we can't live here anymore. Although it's good to live for free, your identity is not in line with you. You are now a high-ranking official at Keqing. In the future, when the emperor sees you, he will have to call you "Love" and we have to change our residence!"
Yang Ze yelled and said, "Just as a fifth-rank official, I guess my monthly salary is not enough to rent a house. The housing price in Chang'an is different from our Ningbei Road!"
Yan Chenghou hurriedly said behind, "General Yang, no, Yang Shaoqing, the villain has a house in Beijing. Otherwise, Yang Shaoqing will live in the villain's house. There is also a store matter. The villain asked the butler in the afternoon, and you don't need to rent a store, we all have it."
Yang Ze thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to your place first. The shop is not in a hurry. I'm now going to Dali Temple to be an official. It's the yamen for the case trial. If I'm anxious to buy an industry, I'll say I've received bribes or something. This is not good, so I'll ease it first."
But Tan Zhengwen said, "Master, if you become Shaoqing, you will also promote your disciple to be the chief. The disciple promises not to embarrass you and will never accept bribes!"
