Ancient promotion routine

Just like Huang Youze was to Gao Shijie, the servant of Zhongshu, and Gao Shijie and Wang Lige, the former admonishment doctor, were in the same group. It is normal for Wang Lige to help Gao Shijie recommend his students.

After all, the more people you have in the imperial court, the more you have the right to speak.

Li Ying nodded and said, "It's very possible, don't forget, the Xinyang Maojian you planted in Xinyang and Nanyang can completely rob the Zhou family of their interests."

According to Li Ying's understanding of Zhou Qin, although Zhou Qin, an old fox, didn't show anything on the surface, he probably wanted to kill Zhang Yanjin in his heart, not to mention the huge profit from Guancha.

He was silent for a while and then said: "I heard that when we were in Zhongzhou, there were farmers making trouble wantonly?"

Zhang Yanjin nodded, now it seems that Zhou Qin is really behind the scenes.

"Then you have a countermeasure?" Li Ying saw that Zhang Yanjin was so calm, and Zhang Yanjin told him to deal with it calmly and stick to his own opinion just now, which made him feel that Zhang Yanjin had already had a countermeasure.

"Only in this way can we lure them out." Zhang Yanjin took a sip of tea and said, "Since the farmers in Danyang Village started making trouble, Chen Su and I secretly investigated who was behind the trouble, but what the people behind it did was Unknowingly, he didn't even leave any clues, which shows that he is cautious."

"So you deliberately create the illusion that you can't dig out the minerals, but you have to dig? Let them mistakenly think that you are really stubborn, and then dig holes for you on it, so you can just know who is behind it? " Li Ying quickly understood the twists and turns.

Seeing Zhang Yanjin's admission, Li Ying was a little puzzled and said, "That's right, but how are you going to explain the matter of Pingdingshan to His Majesty? Could it be that you have already dug out the mine, but kept it secret?"

Zhang Yanjin smiled confidently, and said somewhat cryptically: "How can so many people hide it? It's just that the minerals are buried too deep, and you need to dig hard to find them."

The matter of Pingdingshan can be said to be a godsend opportunity. Since those people deliberately spread rumors, and everyone thinks that he can't dig out resources at all, this can paralyze Zhou Qin and his gang even more, right?

Since the villagers of Danyang Village came to make trouble in a grand manner, but couldn't find any clues, he knew that the people behind this were not simple, and they acted very cautiously. The enemy was in the dark, and he was in the light. Then you can hit the snake seven inches.

"Good idea!" Li Ying said excitedly after thinking for a while.

His father, Li Lian, can be said to be the most opposed to the family headed by Rui Guogong, but because Zhou Qin and the others are all scheming, it is impossible to grasp the pain point.

But the current situation has obviously lured these old foxes into the bait.If Zhang Yanjin can really dig out minerals in Pingdingshan, the situation will be greatly reversed.

What's more, he has long disliked Zhou's family, and every time the sky is overcast, his legs hurt a little, which reminds him how Zhou Qihui knocked him off his horse and broke his leg.

"Erlang, do you really have a way to give everyone a reasonable explanation on the matter of mining in Pingdingshan?" Excited, Li Ying stood up and said.

Zhang Yanjin nodded slightly and said, "Naturally."

"Okay, Erlang, I'll go back and talk to my father, so that you can adapt to the situation in the court tomorrow morning." Li Ying stroked his hands.

It was indeed late, and Zhang Yanjin was unambiguous because of the importance of the matter. He stood up and said, "Okay, then I will trouble you."

After Zhang Yanjin got up and sent Li Ying away, he went to the lobby of his Ningguo Mansion to discuss matters, where his uncle and Chen Derang were sitting and drinking tea.

"Speak to Li Ying?" Zhang Zhongqian asked.

Zhang Yanjin sat aside and nodded slightly.

Chen Derang was very happy and said: "I already knew that Xinyang Maojian you discovered robbed Zhou Qin of his interests. Zhou Qin would never let it go, but he certainly didn't think that you would intentionally numb them!"

"Erlang, are you sure you can dig out minerals in Pingdingshan?" Zhang Zhongqian was still a little worried.

"Uncle, Uncle Chen, don't worry, my nephew has secretly looked through a large number of ancient books to confirm that there are minerals there." Zhang Yanjin vowed.

Only then did Chen Derang and Zhang Zhongqian feel relieved, they had the same opinion as Li Ying, they were going to adapt to the situation tomorrow, follow Zhou Qin's people carefully, and when the time was right, they would turn the situation around completely.

But Zhang Yanjin didn't have much hope. How could an old fox like Zhou Qin end up taking the initiative?I'm afraid that in the end, only Huang Youze can be completely cleaned up.

On the second hall, Huang Youze really started to attack: "My Majesty, according to my investigation, there are often people in the Pingdingshan area of ​​Zhongzhou who are often dragged by officers and soldiers to do coolies and dig rocks in the name of mining, and these are all because of Zhongzhou. Zhang Yanjin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said that Pingdingshan has been dug to a depth of more than 40 meters, and nothing can be dug out, but Zhang Yanjin, the Minister of Industry of Zhongzhou, still insists on his own opinion, making those ordinary people dig the mountain every day despite the heat and danger .”

He raised the wat board in his hand and said: "My minister believes that the minister of the Ministry of Industry is using his power to oppress the people and seek personal gain for himself!"

The emperor glanced at Zhang Yanjin lightly, without any superfluous expression on his face.

He slightly raised his hand and said, "Zhang Yanjin, tell me why you did this."

"Reporting to the emperor, I am indeed digging mines, but I haven't dug them yet." Zhang Yanjin said what he had thought up a long time ago.

"Absurd words!" Huang Youze held up the wat board and said, "My Majesty, the people in Pingdingshan have been digging under the sun for more than a month, and they are digging rocks in the scorching heat every day. This is undoubtedly torture! Moreover, the people in Zhongzhou It is rumored that those few people offended the supreme minister of the Ministry of Industry, Mr. Zhang, so they were tortured like this!"

He took a deep breath and said very seriously: "Your Majesty, the people of Zhongzhou are panicked because of this catastrophe. Now that Zhang Yanjin is still using such a high-sounding name to torture the people, there are already rumors in Zhongzhou. Words about Zhang Yanjin's use of power for personal gain have also spread throughout Chang'an City, if this continues, the people of Zhongzhou will definitely be disappointed!"

This idea coincided with Liu Yanshi's idea. He walked to the center of the hall, held up the wat board in his hand and said: "I report to the emperor, and my ministers seconded the proposal. If things go on like this, the people of Zhongzhou will be disappointed, and the people are like water. Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry's move is really inappropriate."

Although he hated Zhang Yanjin, it was his principle to act impartially.Judging from Zhang Yanjin's past affairs, he is not absolutely sure that Zhang Yanjin is a person who uses power for personal gain.

After all, some time ago, Zhang Yanjin calmed down the riots among the people in Danyang Village, so he used the inappropriate matter.

"My Majesty, Zhang Yanjin asked the common people to dig rocks under the scorching sun, which is really torture. This is an unauthorized abuse of power. It is no different from a powerful and evil gentry. It also wastes a lot of time. If it continues, the prestige of the imperial court will undoubtedly be destroyed, and there will be chaos in Zhongzhou!"

Gao Shijie, Zhongshu's servant, stood up and said, "My minister believes that Zhang Yanjin's behavior is really unworthy of being an official!"

When Gao Shijie saw Zhang Yanjin's refutation, he only had a few dry words, which was very different from his previous high-spirited and tit-for-tat attitude with others. In addition, they investigated the Zhongzhou incident very clearly this time, so he was even more sure. Zhang Yanjin was powerless to resist their accusations.

He has always liked to do this kind of thing like beating a dog in the water, because it can not only express himself in front of the emperor, but also improve his prestige among the court officials, so he directly stood up and stated his purpose of getting the emperor to dismiss Zhang Yanjin.

Gao Shijie took the lead, and the voices against Zhang Yanjin in the court immediately became louder.

The emperor was also a little surprised. It's not that he didn't pay attention to the situation in Zhongzhou. According to Li Junheng's report, both Yuwen Shangkai and Huang Xiujun said that nothing could be dug out of Pingdingshan. What's more, Zhang Yanjin asked the local people to dig more than 40 meters. Nothing was dug up, but Zhang Yanjin still didn't give up. When he asked Zhang Yanjin just now, Zhang Yanjin still insisted that it was just that nothing had been dug up yet.

His questioning eyes scanned Zhang Yanjin's face, trying to see something, but he only saw Zhang Yanjin standing calmly in the middle of the hall, listening to the accusations made by the courtiers.

What the hell is this kid doing?

The emperor raised his finger slightly and said: "Zhang Yanjin, why didn't you dig out any minerals after digging for more than 40 meters, and you still want to continue digging?"

In the final analysis, the emperor still favors Zhang Yanjin in his heart, because whether it was the stirrup saddle or the horseshoe at the beginning, Zhang Yanjin later helped him break the nonsense situation of guilt edict in the court. With the Zhongzhou giant ship going to Nanyang, opening up a route, and returning with a full warehouse, all these made his trust in Zhang Yanjin continue to deepen.

"Reporting to the emperor, because I believe that there are minerals at the bottom of the mountain, that's why people keep digging down." Zhang Yanjin dryly reported the truth.He wanted to say some other reasons, but he really couldn't think of any other reasons.

"Do you think?" Huang Youze suppressed Zhang Yanjin unceremoniously, "Is that because Mr. Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, said that the people of Zhongzhou will be tortured under the scorching sun for no reason?"
