Yang Cong didn't expect that Xu Jie and Liu Shouliang would come, and he didn't expect that Xue Nantang and Li Du, who had just returned, also came.

Are these people coming to attend their wedding?

Of course not, they all come to the capital for purpose.

Xu Jie and Liu Shouliang were here to wait for the Ministry of Personnel to send officials. Their term of office has arrived. Logically speaking, the Ministry of Personnel should have dispatched them in advance and arranged them to serve elsewhere. However, the Ministry of Personnel did not issue a transfer order to them this time, which means they had to wait.

This situation is actually very normal. Tens of thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty basically have to be rotated every three years, including promotions, transfers, demotions, even dismissals, old people, etc. It is not surprising that the Ministry of Personnel is too busy to be busy. Especially this year, it happened to be the plan of the Beijing Inspection Commission. The officials of the Ministry of Personnel are frequently transferred, and some officials have not arranged it, which is normal.

Xu Jie and Liu Shouliang were fine anyway, so they simply followed Mr. Yang to the capital to try their luck. Perhaps, if they could find the relationship between the Ministry of Personnel, they might even send a good official.

They didn't know that their luck was so good, because when they set out from Quanzhou, Zhang Bangqi had not been transferred to the capital to serve as the Minister of Personnel, but now the Minister of Personnel has become his own people. It is naturally not difficult for them to send a good official.

Xue Nantang and Li Du were actually here to try their luck. Generally, new imperial examination candidates like them were not allowed to send officials to them within a few years. Yang Cong is already the top scorer in high school and is about to marry the Lu family and Zhang family. He is a powerful backer. With their relationship, it should not be difficult to ask Yang Cong to help him to send an official, so they went back to discuss with their family and followed Mr. Yang to the capital again.

As for Tang Kekuan and his personal guards, it goes without saying that Yang Cong originally asked Tang Kekuan to bring half of his personal guards back to pick them up.

This guy, so many close friends came, Zhang Zhen, and his grandfather came, so Yang Cong was naturally very excited. That night, the Yang Mansion was another feast. Except for the old man of the Zhang family and Zhang Zhen and his daughter, who sent them to the Zhang Mansion, the other relatives and friends who accompanied him gathered to celebrate.

After drinking and eating, the old man Yang Rong was taken to discuss the marriage by Yang Lin and his wife, while Yang Cong was taken to the guest room by Xu Jie.

The Yang Mansion is very large, and it is no problem to live in hundreds of people. It is naturally no problem to entertain Xu Jie, Liu Shouliang and others. Xu Jie lives in the Yang Mansion guest room, and it is a separate small courtyard.

After the two of them were polite, Xu Jie smiled and said, "Qingfeng, I didn't expect you to be the top scorer in high school. It's not simple, it's not simple."

Yang Cong quickly said modestly: "Luck, just luck."

Xu Jie shook his head and smiled, "Does this thing still have luck? Is it because I didn't have the top scorer in high school at the beginning? "

I was dizzy, this guy always talked a little confused.

Yang Cong could only continue to say modestly: "Brother Zisheng is joking. You know, the top three and even the top few in the second and second are actually similar. This ranking is just based on the emperor's grace."

Xu Jie nodded meaningfully and said, "Yes, it all depends on the emperor's grace. Now the emperor has good favor to us may be because of yours."

Of course, we are not referring to the two of them, but to the Yangming lineage.

What does this mean? It is obvious that the emperor promoted the Yangming lineage to fight against Xia Yan's party. What does it have to do with him?

Yang Cong said in confusion: "Brother Zisheng, this should have nothing to do with me, right?"

Xu Jie said mysteriously: "Who knows if it does it matter? If you think there is, maybe there is. If you think there is no, maybe it really doesn't matter."

Dizzy, what do you mean?

Yang Cong is most afraid of fighting with others, especially Xu Jie, who sometimes speaks so much that it makes people confused.

He thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out what Xu Jie meant.

He could only say helplessly: "Brother Zisheng, please forgive me for being stupid. What's the matter with you?"

Xu Jie still said mysteriously: "Who do you think Xia Yan's party has the final say?"

Isn't this nonsense? Yang Cong said helplessly: "Now, of course Xia Yan has the final say."

Xu Jie asked mysteriously again: "Who has the final say about us?"

us?

Our meaning seems to be different. If we refer to the Yangming lineage alone, it seems that something is missing, such as Zhang Yue, Lu family, and Duke Ding Guo and other nobles seem to be included in the word "we".

Yang Cong finally understood what Xu Jie meant. Xia Yan's party had a leader. Whether it was Xia Yan now or Yan Song behind him, they were all the bosses, and he seemed to be without a leader!

He said thoughtfully: "Brother Zisheng, what do you mean? We want to publicly recommend someone who talks about it?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Jie shook his head and said, "This is not that simple. None of us has such prestige yet."

When Yang Cong heard this, he thought it was true. The reason why Xia Yan's party was decided by Xia Yan at this time was mainly because Xia Yan had the highest position, and that guy was almost the chief minister. He naturally had the same idea among the village party, and he really didn't have a position on his own that could surpass all the heroes.

This is really a headache. I seem to be a mess here. How can I play with an old fox like Xia Yan or even Yan Song?

He couldn't help asking, "Brother Zisheng, what do you think you should do?"

Xu Jie stared at him and said slowly: "You can invite everyone to have a meal and get together."

Damn, this means to let yourself be this boss!

Is it possible?

Of course it is impossible.

Yang Cong was not so arrogant that he thought he was the best in the world. He was just a sixth-rank Hanlin Academy editor, and his position was the lowest among these people.

He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Brother Zisheng, I'm afraid this is something wrong, right?"

Xu Jie said lightly: "What's wrong?"

Yang Cong said honestly: "I don't have this qualification."

Xu Jie still said lightly: "Just treat everyone to dinner. What qualifications are there or not? Do you think anyone else will not give you this face?"

this!

Yang Cong thought carefully and found that no one would not give him such face, so he just invited someone to have a meal. It was impossible for him to show his face to avoid him.

Xu Jie's meaning may be to let himself be an intermediary first and bring everyone together to discuss and discuss, so as not to become a mess like a scattered sand.

This idea seemed to be good, and he nodded solemnly: "If I just treat everyone to dinner, I should still have this face."

Is this what Xu Jie means?

Of course not!

He stared at Yang Cong and said in a nagging voice: "It's not a secret that your family has money. You can't be too stingy. If you have the chance, it's not great if you are passionate and everyone is going to have a tooth sacrifice?"

I was so dizzy that I meant to be the boss, but the method was a bit obscure.

Yang Cong couldn't help but feel guilty and said, "Is this OK?"

Xu Jie still said in a miraculous way: "It's good that everyone gets used to it."

Can you get used to such things if you are dizzy?
