Volume Three, Chapter 192, Retreat as Advancement

Yang Cong has returned to Beijing!

That afternoon, the boss of Yangming's lineage returned home on duty. When he saw the invitation issued by Yang Cong, he realized that the kid had just returned quietly.

His return to Beijing in this way was indeed beyond the expectations of many people.

Nowadays, general dispatched inspectors, governors or governors will arrange corresponding welcome methods based on their achievements when they return to Beijing.

If the performance is average, the Censorate will also arrange for the censor to greet him to show his hard work.

If the performance is outstanding, there will be a grand welcome ceremony. The left censor of the Censorate, the six ministers of the cabinet, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and even the emperor himself may appear in the welcome team.

This time, Yang Cong was sent out to more than one place, but two places. If he came back from Shanxi privately, there were three places.

In other words, he served as governor and governor three times and made countless achievements. The court had not arranged a formal ceremony to welcome him back to Beijing.

In recent years, he has made great achievements. Not only did he repel the Tartar attacks many times in Shanxi, nor did he say he rectified the administration of officials, punished corrupt officials, and reclaimed nearly 200,000 hectares of cultivated land. Just the two things that wiped out Japanese pirates and pacified Annan were all great achievements that could be recorded in history.

Logically speaking, if such a great hero who has made great achievements has returned to the capital, the emperor would not go to greet him in person, but would at least send six ministers and even the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet to the outside of the city to welcome him to show his grandfather.

Unexpectedly, Yang Cong came back quietly!

What's going on?

Jiajing really didn't know how to evaluate Yang Cong embezzled dirty silver to open up the land, so he issued a strict order and no one was allowed to discuss this matter.

This is to preserve Yang Cong's face, and even more to preserve his own face.

Therefore, most officials in the court did not even know why Yang Cong was recruited.

Of course, the bosses of the Yangming lineage still knew about this. When they received an invitation from Yang Cong, they could only sigh.

Alas, this kid Yang Cong is too reckless this time. Even if you want to use the dirty silver from corrupt officials to encourage the land reclamation, you can submit it to the court. It is another matter whether the emperor agrees or not, at least you will not have any trouble.

Now, I have worked hard outside for so many years and made so many extraordinary achievements, and they are all disturbed by the traitor Yan Song!

Everyone felt sorry for Yang Cong, which was not worth it. In addition, Yang Cong's fall from favor also made the situation in the capital extremely unfavorable. Therefore, when the bigwigs from all sides gathered in Yang Cong's mansion, there was no joy of reunion after a long time, nor did they have the laughter and joy of the past. Everyone was frowning and sat there without saying a word.

Seeing this, Yang Cong could only force himself to smile and said, "What's wrong with everyone? Don't you want to see me?"

This joke is a joke, everyone just wants to roll their eyes.

Lu Bing couldn't help complaining, "You are still in the mood to joke. Your bright future is almost ruined by you. Do you know?"

Cui Yuan, the Marquis of Jingshan, couldn't help but feel sorry for him: "Yes, Qingfeng, I, this idle man, know that if you don't make any big mistakes this time, you will at least be a six-degree minister after returning to Beijing, and you may even go directly to the cabinet. Alas, what you did is really impossible to say."

Yang Cong nodded bravely and admitted his mistake: "Okay, I am indeed a little reckless this time. I won't be an example, and I won't be an example. By the way, what's the situation in the capital now?"

To talk about this, naturally, Zhang Bangqi, the old and polite Minister of Rites, has the most say.

When he saw everyone's eyes gathered, he could only shake his head and sigh: "Qingfeng, you really made a bad move this time. Originally, the situation in the capital was very good. We almost suppressed Xia Yan and Yan Song's party with the help of your power to wipe out Japanese pirates in the southeast. The emperor even intended to promote and Dafu back to Beijing to serve as the Minister of the Six Ministry. If you continue this bad move, the emperor immediately became disgusted with us. Now we were suppressed by Xia Yan and Yan Song's party. These two guys are so amazing."

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded and said, "Well, Xia Yan and Yan Song can be said to be one righteous and one evil. One is outrageous when it becomes righteous and the other is scary. These two people are just complementing each other. It's really difficult to deal with it."

At this time, Nie Bao couldn't help but speak again: "What do you think you should do? If this continues, let alone the tune of the tune and they will be promoted to the Sixth Ministry of Justice, we old guys may not be able to hold on for long before they will be pulled down by Xia Yan and Yan Song."

The current situation is indeed a bit critical for the Yangming lineage, because the older generation such as Zhang Bangqi and Nie Bao are almost at a loss, while the younger generations such as Xu Jie and Tang Shunzhi have not yet grown up. Finally, Yang Cong is about to soar to the sky, but he never thought that this guy would cheat himself in one move.

I don’t know what Jiajing will do with Yang Cong now.

In short, after Yang Cong was accidentally recalled to Beijing this time, the Yangming lineage suffered a fatal blow. If it was not handled well, they were likely to be uprooted by Xia Yan and Yan Song.

You should know that Xia Yan and Yan Song are both veterans who have been fighting in the officialdom for a long time. How could they miss such a great opportunity?

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong nodded slightly, and then said wisely: "I thought of a move that might solve the current crisis."

When everyone heard this, they were all excited. Although Yang Cong made a move this time, it did not mean that his level was not good. On the contrary, his level was quite high at other times. At least, no one here was as good as his level.

At this time, this kid could actually come up with a good solution. What is the solution?

Seeing everyone's expectant gaze, Yang Cong quickly explained: "My move is called retreating or driving tigers and swallowing wolfs. We can't fight the combination of Xia Yan and Yan Song. So, we will stop and let them fight by themselves. Maybe they will fight to lose both sides. At that time, we will have a chance."

Retreat to advance?

Destroy tigers and swallow wolves?

This trick sounds quite profound, but everyone present is not ignorant. Many people thought about it for a moment and understood. Only Lu Bing, a "unlearning and ignorant" guy, couldn't help but say curiously: "What does retreating to advance? Will Xia Yan and Yan Song really fight by themselves?"

When Yang Cong heard this, he wanted to roll his eyes. If this guy was not the emperor's breast brother, he would have been able to be a Jinyiwei family, and it would be difficult to be a Jinyiwei family, because there are many smart people in Jinyiwei. He is a naughty man, and he is barely capable of martial arts. He is far worse than scheming than scheming.

However, it is precisely because this guy is the emperor's breast brother that he seems very important and must not be neglected.
