Chapter 891: Suiyuan Mahjong (Part 2)

Since Zhang Siwei was recommended to Prince Yu's Mansion, everyone regarded Yang Bo as a member of Gao Gong. This is indeed the case. This is a rare original time and space that Qian Yuan remembers and has not changed in this life.

Zhu Dashou looked at Qian Yuan, "Wang Xuefu was appointed as the deputy envoy of Suzhou's military commander, and he made great contributions to attacking the Japanese. He was the old friend of Zhan."

Qian Yuan nodded, "This person is indeed aware of military affairs, and he is not weak in Wu Weixi."

This is a very high evaluation. Over the years, Wu Baipeng has been in charge of civil affairs and reorganized the army in the two terms of governors of Zhejiang and Fujian. He has made many military achievements and is considered a famous official.

Qian Yuan recalled in his mind that it seemed that the famous "Altan tribute" in history was related to Wang Chonggu.

"Zhancai?" Xu Wei glanced at him worriedly.

Some people don’t understand what Xu Wei means, but others can understand it. In addition to Qian Zheng and Sun Jing, two people who often participate in the discussion of core matters in Suiyuan, Chen Younian, who has a deep connection with Southeast, can also understand it.

It is very likely that this is Gao Gong’s kindness to Yang Bo and Zhang Siwei, and will Yang Bo be rewarded?

Gao Gong currently does two main things: one gathers his party members and the other controls the Southeast business. Yang Bo, the Minister of Personnel, is helping with these two things.

Qian Yuan was not worried about this. Tang Shunzhi and Sun Ying were named by Emperor Longqing, and Yang Bo wanted to kick it away... It is unlikely.

But the problem is that Yang Bo has served as the Minister of War for a long time and has been guarding the northwest border for many years. He is recognized as the most important official in the court who knows military affairs.

Now the Minister of War Wang Bangrui is a cover. He has returned from the beginning of this year and has been bedridden after the winter. Even in the previous few months, Emperor Longqing and the cabinet have also asked Yang Bo for more information.

In other words, Yang Bo has a certain influence in the allocation of troops and the generals' transfer.

Qian Yuan was worried that Yang Bo would transfer all the troops of Zhejiang as Gao Gong meant.

Qi Jimei, Hou Jigao, Yang Wen, Zhang Yishan, Zhang Yuanxun, Ge Hao... These people are all generals that Qian Yuan attaches great importance to, and they are also Qian Yuan's confidence.

Even if you don’t think about yourself, you need to consider defending the sea border after the sea ban is lifted.

When he sent his uncle out, he scratched his itchy nose. Qian Yuan turned around and smiled and said, "Who said he was just now?"

A few fingers pointed at Xian Yuan and Pan Yunduan.

"There are so many people today, and there are not enough mahjong. Let's move a few more pairs. It's the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, so let's just play mahjong all night!"

Qian Zheng walked back to the backyard. Before he could enter the door, he heard a "pop" inside, and at the same time, Xiao Qi's joyful cry sounded, "It's so bad!"

This life is impossible to pass, Qian Zheng covered his head and felt a little headache. Suiyuan is a gambling nest, and even the backyard is like this now...

"I finally got it done!" Xiaoqi settled the accounts happily.

Lu, Huang and Tan are taking out copper coins. As mother-in-law, Tan has always been stingy... But at the gambling table, he doesn't even recognize his father and son, let alone the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

However, Tan didn't care today. Just at noon this year, she took Huang and grandson to meet Qian Hong again. After a few months, she could meet three or four times a month on average.

"I'm back." Lu said to her husband while tying the Great Wall: "It's twenty-nine tomorrow, so it's time to leave the yamen, right?"

Qian Zheng saluted and greeted his elder sister-in-law first, and then replied in a depressed manner, "Well, I won't have to go tomorrow."

"Where are dice... twelve... twelve to the end."

"Hmm? This card is a bit dispersed..."

"Sister-in-law, you finish it, and you don't want it in the end?"

Qian Zheng finally interrupted the words, "Sister-in-law, yesterday His Majesty ordered Yuan'er to be the young minister of Taichang Temple..."

"How many qualities?"

"Dongfeng." Xiaoqi replied casually: "The third rank is the same as the sixth minister."

"Yuan'er has made many achievements and should have been promoted long ago." Lu continued, "If you want me to tell me, you should go back to Hanlin Academy and go to Taichang Temple to do something!"

The father and brother are gone, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and Xiaoqi is both a junior and a female relative, Qian Zheng can only catch his wife and scold him, "Your Majesty, is it the turn of Yuan'er to choose?"

Lu glanced at her husband, too lazy to pay attention to it, just cared about counting cards.

"Taichang Temple is responsible for rituals and music, suburban temples, country, and altars, and is more important than doing anything in Zhanshi's Mansion." Qian Zheng advised: "Sister-in-law, I still have to let Yuan'er settle down in the morning and evening, and go to the yamen..."

Qian Zheng tried his best to persuade Tan... There is no way, the fragrance is so smelly around him. Now Tan is only concerned about his eldest son who cannot show up publicly and his husband who is far away from the southeast. He is not willing to care about his youngest son who has always had his own opinions.

Qian Zheng left disappointedly. He was a relatively rigid scholar-official. He always wanted to make his nephew a famous minister who left his name in history, rather than a character who could not see the image clearly in the court and the country now... He was a capable minister, but very slippery, a loyal minister, but good at charming the superiors, a clean minister... Forget it, this character is not very compatible with Qian Yuan.

Qian Zheng returned to Suiyuan, listened to the loud numbing sound inside, stood in the cold wind for a while, and then left.

There were two tables of mahjong in Suiyuan, eight people, but there were six or seven waiting for the empty seats. Qian Yuan was chatting with Chen Younian opposite while touching the cards.

"The day before yesterday, Li Shiyan and Gao Xinzheng had a fight, and Mr. Li'an didn't look for you?" Qian Yuan was a little unbelievable.

"Ahem, Mr. Li'an went to Tongzhou the day before yesterday to inspect the canal transportation. He only returned to Beijing this afternoon and hadn't met yet... Let's talk about it after the New Year." Chen Younian sighed, "I'm afraid Mr. Li'an will be furious after the New Year... Zhancai, will the tax silver really be reduced?"

"I'm almost done with you, otherwise, Mr. Jingchuan, Wen and brother wrote a book to write something." Xu Wei, who was on another mahjong table, interrupted.

Qian Yuan glanced over and Xu Wei stopped talking... It was not that he was almost inseparable, but that he was sure to get it, but it was hard to say this.

The day before yesterday, Tang Shunzhi, Zhao Dahe and Sun Ying wrote a letter to the court, saying that there were sea merchants in the southeast who did not pay tax silver and went to sea to sell goods privately, and the tax silver may be reduced next year.

Gao Gong scolded Tang Shunzhi for being exaggerated in the cabinet, but Li Mo felt that Tang Shunzhi was justified... Well, it is not important to be reasonable or not. It is mainly because Li Mo wanted to find an excuse to argue with Gao Gong, otherwise he would feel depressed.

Gao Gong thought Li Mo was too much. Why? Guo Zhong and Fang went to the Southeast to take up their new position on time, and the tax and bank will drop. You, Li Mo, said that it is reasonable... You have to go against me?!

So, a fierce debate that made Xu Jie secretly happy and made Wu Shan and Lu Ben dumbfounded happened in Zhilu. Gao Gong was strong and eloquent. After all, Li Mo was old and weak, and he could not argue...

Therefore, after the argument, Li Mo became even more depressed. The imperial doctor basically had to go to Li’s house every day in the past few days.

Qian Yuan was thinking that when the tax bank account came out after the New Year, he guessed that the old man Fang Dun would definitely jump. He didn't know if he would stand on Suiyuan's side and grab a card and play it out, "Two pieces."

"Hu, Squad 7!" Chen Younian grabbed two pieces, "Zhancai, thank you, the last one piece, two pieces, have been waiting for a long time."

"You're welcome." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Brother Deng Zhi, I actually deliberately fired the cannon."

Chen Younian naturally didn't believe it, and while counting, he said, "What do you want to do when you show off your talents?"

Qian Yuan smiled and said, "When the tax and silver accounts are in Beijing after the New Year, I hope my brother will help you."
