This Yang Lian's scribe was the one whose face was so swollen by Wang Hongyu in Baoding Prison at the very beginning.
He made a special trip this time to collect dirty information about Wang Hongyu, but with limited financial resources and no connections, he couldn't do anything except Yang Lian's signature bluffing behind his back.
Therefore, the bookstore in Baoding and the workshop in Kaifeng were secretly cooperated by the King of Zhou, and he knew nothing about them.
Until I followed to Huguang...
"My Lord Yang Lian is an outstanding person in Huguang, and he indeed has connections he can use~"
In the end, it was a landlord who had been studying in the county for a long time, who had a similar background to Yang Lian, and had dealt with him before, so he set a trap for Wang Hongyu.
In the end, it was useless...
The county clerk mysteriously walked out of the back door of the restaurant and looked around for a while to make sure that there were only women around and no men passed by.
"A spy with a sly look, even the county magistrate doesn't have the guts to openly go against us in the local area~"
He left quite proudly.
After a while, a sturdy farmer who was buying vegetables on the street walked to a house with the vegetables he bought.
A door opened in the courtyard, and another woman let her in.
Walking into the folk prescription, a beautiful woman wearing a blue-purple Miao dress and bright jewelry has been waiting for a long time.
"Mr. Qin Qian, the chief secretary secretly met with someone in a restaurant."
Qin Ling's face was cold, as cold as when he chopped Yuan Yingtai into pieces that day.
After a while, several healthy women returned and reported the results of the investigation.
"Yang Lian... you have nothing to do..."
Although he was a military officer, Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong made a fool of themselves, so the smart Ye Xianggao immediately changed his attitude to cooperate.
Yang Lian is said to be a very smart person, but he has no time to send scribes to investigate and cause trouble.
This seems stupid?
Qin Ling did not act rashly, but after collecting the information, he secretly reported it to Wang Hongyu.
"Yang Lian's scribe..."
Wang Hongyu was also very surprised when he heard Qin Ling introduce the information and found out that it was him who was doing something secretly.
This scribe behaved very poorly both times.
Such a stupid and shady scribe is very different from the image of Yang Lian who is passionate about righteousness, very wise, and good at making decisions.
Is it improper employment? Or...
Wang Hongyu suddenly thought of an incredible idea.
Back then, Yang Lian was the most thoroughgoing supporter of the prince's faction. He had no choice but to protect the prince, and intervened in Prince Fu's "assassination" to kill me.
Is this for others to see?
no.
Instead, he upheld his position and justice and took actions even against his conscience and facts for the sake of the prince's safety.
It seems incredible now.
But if you put yourself in Yang Lian's position and combine it with his consistent behavior, you will know what he is doing.
"Zhengchen!"
He wants to show that he is an honest minister, even honest for the sake of integrity!
Ye Xianggao and others are very smart, and Yang Lian is definitely not stupid. So why do you send stupid scribes to cause trouble when you know that Tianqi supports you, know that you are very capable, and know that going against me at this time is asking for trouble?
Woolen cloth?
There is only one possibility.
The reason is hard to understand except for a noble scholar like Yang Lian.
That is to tell us that he is "Zhengchen"!
Yang Lian was telling Tianqi and me that I am upright and a loyal minister. Even though I know the emperor's will, I must also fulfill my duty of speaking out for officials and causing trouble.
If you Tianqi can't tolerate me as a loyal minister, then you can't be a wise king!
If you, Wang Hongyu, rely on the emperor's trust and act domineeringly towards scholars and officials, then no matter what your abilities are, he, Yang Lian, will cause trouble even if he doesn't care about his life.
This is why he sent his stupid clerk to investigate me even in this situation.
This is the logic of people like Yang Lian.
It's not in line with common sense, but it can move him.
Are you someone who takes Hai Rui as your idol?
Are you testing Tianqi and yourself to see if you are ambitious?
Thinking too much~
Wang Hongyu wanted to borrow a sentence from one of the most famous books of later generations to tell Yang Lian how to view this kind of behavior.
"The Lord doesn't care."
It’s just a game within Confucian officialdom~
Do you really think you have time to play the role of a wise king, a capable minister, and a loyal minister?
Yang Lian didn't quite understand one thing.
That is, not only literati can be officials.
Not all officialdom must follow this set of rules.
Because only literati served as officials, the continued use of this set of official rules severely hindered China from becoming the leader in the world at this time.
】
Wang Hongyu can talk about everything else, but he will not give in to anyone on the rise of China.
"Let him play the role of minister by himself, and we don't need to pay attention to him."
After Wang Hongyu thought about this, he told Qin Ling and gave his response plan of ignoring him.
Qin Ling was a little surprised. Normally, this situation could give some warning and show that he could accept the criticism and supervision of the Yan Guan.
Choosing to ignore it completely is really different.
"Will the other party become angry?"
"No. Instead, they think we are stupid. We either didn't detect his scribes, or we spent our days and nights guessing what we were thinking."
At this time, the officialdom has developed very maturely, and there is a one-to-one corresponding method for any routine.
Only when there is no routine can the opponent be confused.
"Keep investigating and remain calm. If the other party does something outrageous, just step in and stop it."
"yes."
Qin Ling carried out the order in accordance with Wang Hongyu's order. The people under her in charge of intelligence were men and women, some were good at fighting, and some were good at business. This was Shizhu Chieftain, who had no power in the court. In order not to be tricked by the literati and bureaucrats,
, specially formed elite.
Now half of them are with Qin Liangyu, and half are with Qin Ling. Of course, the ones in Qin Ling's place also belong to the Hunhe Army.
Therefore, although her position is not as good as that of Zhang Mingshi and Qin Minping, her role is no less important than theirs.
This kind of episode will become the norm in the future.
All forces will want to test their own attitudes.
But when they entered the mountains of Yunyang, it was not what they expected to find.
After leaving Wudang Mountain, we finally set foot on the border of Yunyang.
70 miles northwest from Junzhou along the Han River is Yunxian County, the prefecture of Yunyang.
This place is surrounded by mountains, with raised hills everywhere. The vegetation on the mountains is extremely lush, and the amount of cultivated land is naturally limited. Many people open similar terraces directly from the mountains for farming. The difficulty of farming is much greater than that of the plains, and the yield is naturally higher.
Much lower.
However, mineral resources are abundant, and many of them have not been developed.
Yunyang is one of the few areas that is not on the frontier, but has relatively limited development and huge potential.
This place was called Shangyong during the Qin and Han Dynasties. This name is not unfamiliar to people who have more exposure to history. It was called Yunyang at this time and will be called Shiyan in the future.
Although it has a long history, large numbers of refugees have often gathered here since the Yuan Dynasty.
It was the same in the early Ming Dynasty, until the Chenghua period when the rebellion was put down and Yunyang Mansion was established.
This place was founded a hundred years ago and still has a small population, which is perfect for Wang Hongyu to show off his skills.
