Chapter 251 Ten Years Prefect Hong Wenhao
"What? Mr. Yu passed away?"
"My uncle is dead? That's possible! You must be lying to me, you must be lying to me... My uncle will die so much?"
In the study, when he heard Jia Sidao's words, Hong Wenhao and Ye Mingshen couldn't help but exclaimed.
However, from the words, we can see that Hong Wenhao and Ye Mingshen were obviously different in their surprise and concern.
It seemed as if Jia Sidao felt a little cold look, and then looked at Hong Wenhao's surprised look beside him. Ye Mingshen was shocked, and the rest of the nonsense stopped abruptly.
He knew that his words just now were really messy and duty.
The reason why Ye Mingshen dared to follow Jia Sidao to Lin'an was that in addition to Jia Sidao's request that he could not resist, he could no longer stay in Xiangyang City, was also one of the very important reasons.
And all his reliance is because there is Yu Tianxi in Lin'an City.
As long as Yu Tianxi is there, Yu Tianxi will not care about him for his mother's sake. Therefore, no matter how much dissatisfied Jia Sidao was with him and how much dissatisfied Meng Gong was with him, he would not really do anything to him.
Not to mention, Yu Tianxi is now the noble prime minister and no longer the guest master of the Shi Mansion.
Of course, it is not that Yu Tianxi could not take care of him at that time, but that he felt that the water in Lin'an City was too deep and he didn't know when he provoked people who even Yu Tianxi could not afford to offend him. It was better to stay away from Lin'an City and go to the place to be free and easy.
After all, Yu Tianxi's signature is obviously much better than that in Beijing.
Yu Tianxi was the left prime minister, so his nephew's identity naturally rose. If he hadn't been too quick, he would have brought his mother and her family to Lin'an City.
Now that he has not arrived in Lin'an City, his biggest reliance is that his future development backer is gone. How can this not make Ye Mingshen frightened and lost? Without Yu Tianxi as his backer, Jia Sidao will still give him a face?
What is Jia Sidao's identity now? He, a small white-bodied juren, dared to directly question what Jia Sidao said, which is beyond the reach of what he said, not to mention that except for Yu Tianxi as his uncle, Yu Tianxi is also the left prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Ye Mingshen's words just now did not have much respect.
When Jia Sidao saw Ye Mingshen shut up, he withdrew his eyes and sighed slightly in his heart.
He could probably guess what Ye Mingshen thought, so he really didn't want to be as knowledgeable as him.
"The news came from reliable channels. The news of Yu Gong's death should be true. I think it will spread all over the place in a few days." Speaking of this, Jia Sidao walked up and patted Hong Wenhao on the shoulder and said, "The Mongols are not calm. Now I have lost the minister who has taken the tripod again. On this occasion, I am a matter of trouble. Today's banquet is up to me. Forget it, Lord Hong should have prepared early."
"As for the order of lord." Hong Wenhao was also a little confused at this moment and quickly bowed to answer.
Hong Wenhao has passed his forties and has been in office as the magistrate of Ezhou for a full ten years. For ten years, his position as the magistrate of Ezhou has always been as stable as Mount Tai.
He had no backer in the court, and was born in a poor family. He was step by step by step with his political achievements. At his age, he should have been ready to retire at any time. It seems that anyone could watch as the officials who were still under him were also appointed as prefects and even became leaders of the border officials. He even returned to Lin'an City and entered the power center of the Song Dynasty. I guess he was a little unwilling to accept it.
Hong Wenhao doesn't like to flatter, which is his advantage and also his shortcomings. Without a backer, without a backer to his own backer, just relying on reputation and political achievements, if no surprises in his career will end here.
Of course, it was not that Hong Wenhao didn't want to make friends with the powerful people in the court to take a walk. But he realized it a little too late. Ten years ago, he disdained to do this, thinking that he could walk out of a world by himself. Ten years later, when he sat in the position of Ezhou prefect for years and finally understood it thoroughly, his age had become an obstacle for him.
Which young man who is still young and has a lot of room for growth in just a few years is worth investing in? The result is self-evident. After all, the Song Dynasty said it was big or small, but the cake was just a little bigger. So many people gave it to Hong Wenhao, and others would be gone. Why not give it to young people who are more worthy of investment?
Originally, Hong Wenhao was indeed extinguished, but Jia Sidao's arrival and Yu Tianxi's sudden rise to take up the position of left prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Hong Wenhao saw a little hope again.
Jia Sidao is a young man, with a high position and a low power, and has a deep friendship with Yu Tianxi, Shi Songzhi and others. The most important thing is that Jia Sidao is too young and has risen too fast, so there must be not many people available under his command. After all, young people are not experienced enough and cannot do things well; the old guys have a high status and are very considerate of themselves. With Jia Sidao's status as a big or low, it is difficult for them to be effective.
But Hong Wenhao needed such an opportunity. So, when Jia Sidao passed by Ezhou, Hong Wenhao almost lost all his money and prepared a generous gift for Jia Sidao. As a result, Jia Sidaotong did not stay in Ezhou for two days, and after collecting the things, he hurried on board the boat to Xiangyang.
Hong Wenhao cursed in his heart but had no choice but to think that this time the meat bun was completely beaten to the dog and never returned. In his opinion, it was difficult for Jia Sidao to go to Xiangyang City to protect himself. How could he remember to find a future for him?
Things are always so wonderful. Jia Sidao not only returned from Xiangyang City alive, but also returned with great victory. When Hong Wenhao heard the news, he had already quit drinking, but it was rare that he drank alone in the middle of the night and was drunk!
When Jia Sidao arrived in Xiangyang City, in the past two days, Hong Wenhao and Jia Sidao had a lot of contact with each other, and finally began to understand this young senior official. The meaning revealed in Jia Sidao's words also made him look forward to the future a little more.
I thought it was a smooth journey, but unexpectedly, Yu Tianxi had just been on the left prime minister for less than two months, and had not even moved in to the left prime minister's mansion, so he left the west. Is it a fate?
This uncle is young, but he still doesn’t have much say in the court.
Jia Sidao looked at Hong Wenhao who was worried about gains and losses, and his heart was naturally as bright as a mirror.
In the past two days, Hong Wenhao has been testing him, but isn’t he also examining Hong Wenhao? In all aspects, Hong Wenhao is very satisfied with his governance skills, ability to do things, integrity and character.
Such a depressed and unsuccessful old man is the one he has been trying to find but can't find. But this old man is not dead yet, and he is still ambitious, and he has come to him. How could Jia Sidao be so disappointed?
"Haha, Lord Hong, there are some things that you can just wait and see, and you don't have to worry too much about gains and losses." When Jia Sidao saw that Hong Wenhao was still confused, he had to say again: "I am still waiting for Lord Hong to come to Lin'an to make up for today's banquet. Do you think he is not Lord Hong?"
