    The news that Yueyang was going to let Hailou retire from the position of governor of Shanxi and that the court would appoint a new governor did not spread to Chongzhen, and the court remained as calm as usual for several days.  šIThis morning, after leaving the court, Yueyang did not return to the Prince Consort's Mansion as usual, but came to Wenyuan Pavilion with Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou and others.  Since there are three more bachelors, Wenyuan Pavilion is a little more lively than usual, and it is no longer as peaceful as before.  However, today the big bosses of Wenyuan Pavilion did not work, but sat in the small living room and drank tea.  Today is the day when three cabinet bachelors, Yueyang, Lu Xiangsheng and Hong Chengchou, officially settled in Wenyuan Pavilion. As the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhou Tingru donated his collection of Wuyishan Dahongpao. It is said that this Dahongpao is extremely valuable and has always been a royal tribute.  , even Zhou Tingru, as the chief minister of the cabinet, could only get less than one tael. He usually hid it like a treasure, but today he made an exception and took it out.  "Come on, come on let's have a try. This is Mr. Zhou's darling. Normally, he treats these tea leaves more dearly than his own daughter, and won't even let us touch them. Today, we have to drink them.  "No light!" Beside the coffee table, Xue Guoguan picked up the exquisite purple sand teapot and filled up all the teacups next to it. Then he took a few deep sips of the steaming teacup in front of him, and his face showed  Intoxicated, he drank it all in one gulp.  Yue Yang smiled and picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Suddenly, a refreshing fragrance was introduced into his nasal cavity. When he picked up the tea cup and drank it all, the fragrance seemed to be transmitted from his throat to his heart and lungs.  "Well, good tea!" Even Yue Yang, who didn't know much about tea, couldn't help but praise it, let alone the people next to him.  Chinese people all love tea, especially Chinese literati, who regard tea as a kind of inheritance and culture. The people sitting with Yue Yang today put aside their character and personality, and look at these people from the perspective of their cultural level.  They are all a small group of top literati who can be counted in the Ming Dynasty, and their understanding and perception of tea are naturally much better than Yueyang's two swords.  Finished the round of tea tasting.  Lu Xiangsheng then put down his tea cup, smashed it in his mouth and praised: "It's thanks to Zhou Shoufu that we can drink such high-quality tea today. If we can drink such good tea every day, we don't even have to be a bachelor! Zhou Shoufu  "Why don't you give some of this tea to Xiaguan?" Everyone laughed when he heard this. Zhou Tingru smiled and pointed at Lu Xiangsheng and said: "Well, Lu Jiandou, I just ordered such a good thing. I originally planned to enjoy it by myself."  Now, you are thinking about it one by one. I can tell you, it will never happen!" Although Zhou Tingru rejected Lu Xiangsheng, his words were full of peace and joking.  Yue Yang on the side immediately saw that Zhou Tingru now truly regarded himself and Lu Xiangsheng as people who could talk to him as equals.  Because in the eyes of people like him, only those who have been in the cabinet are the small group of people who can really determine the fate of the Ming Dynasty. Just like the elders of the Celestial Council of Elders in later generations, only these few people can truly control the fate of the Celestial Dynasty.  people.  After everyone joked for a while, Zhou Tingru said seriously to the three people from Yueyang: "Zhenghong, Jiandou, and Yanyan, the three of you can join the cabinet. This also makes the three of us relieved. There are many affairs in the cabinet. These days we  These old guys are almost out of breath. Your arrival finally lets us breathe a sigh of relief." Listening to Zhou Tingru's sincere words, Yue Yang sighed in his heart about Zhou Tingru's ability to tell lies, just like those he had played a few days ago!  It was as if the small tricks had nothing to do with them.  But Yue Yang didn't find it strange.  People who can't tell lies cannot play politics, and the more senior people are, the more so.  Lu Xiangsheng cupped his hands and said, "You've received the award from the First Assistant Zhou. I'm a junior scholar, so I should ask the First Assistant for more advice." We all serve as ministers in the same palace.  They became very familiar with each other, and after chatting for a few words, they got down to business.  Zhou Tingru turned his gaze to Yue Yang, with a hint of puzzlement and doubt in his eyes: "Master Yue. Yesterday, the emperor summoned me to the palace and asked me to discuss the new candidate for the governor of Shanxi. I wonder if this is true?" Zhou Tingru said this  The words sounded very unreasonable at first. The imperial court wanted to send a governor down to ask for his opinion. Isn't this a mess?  But no one here thought so. Everyone except Zhou Tingru looked in disbelief, especially Lu Xiangsheng, who looked like he had seen a ghost.  He had mentioned this matter to Yue Yang a few days ago, and this guy almost fell out with him on the spot. Unexpectedly, there would be such a wonderful turn of events today. Could it be that this guy suddenly changed to a vegetarian diet?  Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Yue Yang said calmly: "Of course this is true. I plan to go to Shanxi in a few days to pick up all my family members.  Shanxi¡¯s great power?should also return to the imperial court.  " As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other, with a look of contemplation on their faces. Shanxi is the place where Yueyang started his career. It can be said that Yueyang has the strongest power in Shanxi, and now Yueyang actually said that he would take all his family members from Shanxi.  Shanxi has received a senior official, which means that this guy is really going to withdraw from Shanxi. Thinking of this, many people's eyes showed a glimmer of light. Shanxi has been the home base of Yueyang for many years, including Datong, Hunyuan Prefecture, and Ying.  The state capital is quite wealthy, and the tax paid to the court every year is as high as two million taels. If Yueyang leaves like this, the remaining benefits will make many people jealous. But everyone is worthy of having been in the officialdom for many years.  The old fritter, after thinking about it carefully, a question emerged in his mind: "Master Yue, do you plan to resign from the post of Governor of Xuanda after you go to be a senior official?  ¡± Everyone¡¯s hearts tightened when they heard this. Obviously, Zhou Tingru¡¯s words were the point of his question. Why Yue Yang is so awesome? It¡¯s because he not only has money, but he also controls an elite army of more than 100,000 people.  , as long as he has this army loyal to him, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty would dare to touch him. And now that he thinks about it, Yue Yang seems to have generously handed over the position of governor of Shanxi, but as long as he is stationed in Shanxi.  The tens of thousands of troops are still in his hands. Even if others are not in Shanxi, he can continue to exert his influence on Shanxi. "Haha" Hearing this, Yue Yang smiled, and he looked at it with a half-smile.  Zhou Tingru: "Could it be that Chief Minister Zhou also hopes that I will also hand over the position of Governor Xuanda?  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
