Chapter 145 I have someone in the court!
In the Wenyuan Pavilion, Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu, who had just returned from the Qianqing Palace, talked about this matter with the other two cabinet ministers, Liu Zhong and Fei Hong.

Liang Chu sighed and said with some melancholy: "Your Majesty is determined, I am afraid it will be difficult to convince him."

Compared to his current boss's erratic nature, he really misses his previous boss.

That is what a benevolent and wise king should be like. This guy, he used to have some sense of purpose, but now he has lost all that.

However, no one thought about Ou Zanghua. Now that we know Ou Zanghua's achievements, who wouldn't praise him as a gentleman?
He could even move the traitor, so how could he not have any idea of ​​the situation?
"What if Ou Zanghua submits his resignation himself?" Liu Zhong, Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, thought for a while and asked calmly.

At this time, another university scholar, Fei Hong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Why did Ou Zanghua write a letter to resign?"

Yang Tinghe slowly explained, "Brother Zi Chong, I know that you value talent, but Ou Zanghua is still young. If I were to immediately place him among the nine ministers, I'm afraid I would be forcing him to grow too fast."

Fei Hong smiled and gently reminded him, "Jiefu, have you forgotten? You were appointed as a compiler in the Hanlin Academy in the second year of Hongzhi, and as a lecturer in the fifth year of Hongzhi. If I remember correctly, you should be 32 years old at that time."

When Yang Tinghe heard this, he fell silent with an ugly look on his face.

Although Fei Hong did not say it explicitly, we are all smart people, so how could we not hear it?
You, Yang Tinghe, have not made any contribution, but you were appointed as an editor in the Hanlin Academy at the age of 29, and were promoted to the lecturer in the Imperial Lectures in just three years. Isn't it because of the emperor's appreciation?
Although Ou Zanghua is only twenty years old, he was promoted to the editor of the Hanlin Academy based on his military merits. Now he has made new contributions, so it is well deserved for him to be promoted. Others are still finding reasons to stop him. Why do you, Yang Tinghe, have the right to stop him?

The clerks in charge of adding water for the cabinet ministers stood outside the door shivering. The atmosphere inside seemed a bit strange, so it was better not to go in.

Fortunately, Liu Zhong spoke at the right time and shifted the topic elsewhere.

After the meeting, Yang Tinghe didn't even say hello to Fei Hong. He just got up and left with the memorial. It was obvious that the future prime minister was a little unhappy.

Liang Chu and Liu Zhong looked at each other and both smiled bitterly.

Liu Zhong was a little confused. Why would Fei Hong speak for Ou Zanghua? Apart from meeting each other in the imperial examination, the two had no other interactions!

Liang Chu reminded him, "Brother Zi Chong's hometown is Qianshan County, Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. If Ou Zanghua had not defeated the Yao Yuan bandits without bloodshed, Qianshan County would have become a coveted place for them."

"So that's it!" Liu Zhong understood. In that case, there was indeed no problem with Fei Hong speaking for Ou Zanghua.

Yang Tinghe went straight to Li Dongyang's house with the memorial. He did not expect that such a change would happen in the harmonious cabinet.

Originally he thought that he should suppress the matter, but then he changed his mind and thought that the current Prime Minister is still Li Dongyang!
Ou Zanghua is Li Dongyang's student and fellow villager. In order to avoid being manipulated by some people with ulterior motives, it would be better for him to gain Li Dongyang's support.

Li Dongyang was recuperating at home. When his stepson Li Zhaofan brought Yang Tinghe in, he was doing some simple exercises according to the doctor's instructions.

"Master Chief Assistant."

"Jiefu is here!" Li Dongyang stopped and, supported by his stepson Li Zhaofan, took a walk in the garden with Yang Tinghe.

Yang Tinghe took out the memorial and slowly explained the whole story.

After hearing this, Li Dongyang asked gently, "Jiefu, which one is more important, the Ministry of Rites or the Honglu Temple?"

The Ming Dynasty had an open foreign policy, but its most important tribute system was managed by the Ministry of Rites. Since some of the work of these two departments was highly overlapping, even the good son of the Ming Dynasty, Korea, had sent tribute documents and treasures to the Honglu Temple more than once, so that in the 12th year of Jiajing, the Ministry of Rites could no longer bear it and wrote a letter to correct it.

Not to mention other small countries, which may have come here several times but still haven't figured out the difference between the Ministry of Rites and the Honglu Temple.

Yang Tinghe immediately understood what Li Dongyang meant and immediately changed the subject to talk about other matters.

On the second day, Yang Tinghe returned to Wenyuan Pavilion and looked at the imperial edict sent by the Imperial Household Department and agreed calmly.

When Liu Zhong and Liang Chu saw this, they realized that it was Li Dongyang who supported Ou Zanghua, and with Fei Hong's vote, the imperial edict was passed smoothly.

When the news spread, the whole court was in an uproar. To say that a 20-year-old Nine Ministers was simply an alarmist statement!

The censors of the Censorate were as excited as if it were New Year's Day. Impeachment memorials popped up like mushrooms after rain. Most of the censors scolded Ou Zanghua as a punishment, saying that he was a meritorious official and deserved the reward.

It is the cabinet that should be blamed. Even if they have made contributions, can you reward them like this?

This is called sitting in a position and doing nothing!
A small number of people cursed Ou Zanghua. Their reasoning was that dying for the court was a natural thing to do, so how could he still ask for a reward?

This is not what a gentleman does, so he should be severely punished.

For such people, both the cabinet and the emperor simply ignored them.
Under such circumstances, Yu Shouguan received a notice from the Ministry of Personnel, asking him to pack his luggage and go to Yaoyuan County to serve as the magistrate.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards also left the capital with him. They were going to issue the imperial edict.

Everyone knew that the emperor and the cabinet had made up their minds and there was no way to change the matter. For a time, the taverns and brothels in the capital were crowded with scholars from all over the country, and all kinds of poems and articles were published, telling of their frustration at being unappreciated.

In response, Yang Tinghe only asked one question: "Did they pass the imperial examination?"

Then, with just one sentence, Yang Ge Lao successfully helped the waiters and girls in the taverns and brothels in the capital city to complete this year's KPI!

The green of spring is not strange, the beauty of red is in its prime. In the frosty October, all flowers have bloomed, leaving only the splendid old branches of the pine.

Ou Zanghua had a rare free time, so he took Liu Qing, Qu Feiyan and others out for a trip. They set up a tent by the river. Xiang Da Nian and Mi Weiyi went hunting, while Ou Zanghua brought a fishing rod, wanting to catch a fish in the river for Liu Qing to grill.

As a result, after sitting there for an entire afternoon, Xiang Danian and Mi Weiyi each caught their fifth wild game, but he didn't even move his fishing line.
Ou Zanghua was a little panicked. He was such an awesome guy, but he was actually in the Air Force?
"Husband, do you have any fish?" Liu Qing stood on the shore and shouted to Ou Zanghua who was sitting on a rock.

"Of course, wait for me a moment." Ou Zanghua smiled gently at Liu Qing, and when he turned his head to look at the river, his expression suddenly became serious.

Since you refuse to accept my toast, don't blame me for being unethical!

Ou Zanghua flicked his right finger and a stream of sword energy shot out, knocking a silver carp unconscious. Then he swung the fishing rod in his left hand, hooked the stunned silver carp and threw it into the bamboo basket.

Then he used the same method to catch four more fish, then he pretended to be calm, got up and put away the rod, picked up the bamboo basket and used Qinggong to return to the shore, saying calmly, "I was too nervous today, so I only caught five. Let's share them!"
