Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 540 The position of president
The news of the re-examination spread like wings and spread throughout the city in an instant. Countless people were paying attention to the investigation results of the fraud case and the personnel arrangements for the re-examination.

Jia Cong didn't care about the progress of the investigation. Anyway, he would eventually get the results he wanted, so he went to discuss with Pang Chao.

"Sir, now the first step of lifting the table is complete, but Cong doesn't see any profit."

Pang Chao said with a smile: "With so many positions vacant this time, we have just completed our agreement with the Socialist Party, and we will take this opportunity to return those who have returned to the society to return to the DPRK."

Jia Cong said: "Who can I recommend?"

"Of course it's still Jiang Zhongtang, as well as Shi Zhongtang and Su Zhongtang. It's quite important when you think about it." Pang Chao said.

Jia Cong was stunned and said: "Sir, how can Cong touch these giant Buddhas? Besides, Su Haochu and I still have a deep hatred. The old party will never help me."

Pang Chao twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Not necessarily, as long as it is profitable, the bachelor will have to obey your orders."

"Appreciate further details."

Pang Chao said: "The key to this matter is Jiang Zhongtang. As long as we persuade Prime Minister Jiang and then let him persuade Shi and Su, it will be natural."

Jia Cong frowned and said, "The more he listened, the more confused he became. How could he persuade Prime Minister Jiang, and how could he persuade Shi and Su.

It was just that Prime Minister Jiang recommended Guan Pu last time. If he recommended the Socialist Party frequently, Your Majesty would inevitably suspect that he had the intention of pulling back the mountain. How could Prime Minister Jiang do such risky things? "

Pang Chao said: "So he needs to persuade Shi and Su to come forward. He can only encourage them."

"This goes back to the first question, how to make Jiang Xiang show such strength?" Jia Cong said.

"How about letting him be the president for one term?"

"This...has some weight."

Jia Cong nodded slowly. The advantage of being the president of the examination is that even if there is no malpractice for personal gain, all the candidates of this Chinese subject can be called his disciples.

This is definitely a huge network of relationships, and winning will be in the future. There will definitely be prosperous among these candidates in the future. How can we not take care of the descendants who are sitting here?

This is a good thing that will benefit future generations. With this group of students, it is enough to ensure that the family will not decline for decades.

Scholars euphemistically say that the fire is passed down from generation to generation.

The essence is that people carry people in sedan chairs. You take care of me and I take care of you. We form a good relationship and wait until there is a fate. If there is no fate, you can also make a wish.

"It's just that the CEOs are all appointed by hand, how can Cong decide?"

Pang Chao smiled and said: "Although you can't decide, there are people who can exert influence."

Jia Cong's eyes lit up: "Dai Quan."

"And the queen." Pang Chao said.

Jia Cong nodded: "If this step goes well, how can Prime Minister Jiang persuade Shi and Su to come forward?"

Pang Chao said: "If nothing unexpected happens this time, the old party will be severely weakened. Not only will it lose a military minister, but it will also lose many capable officers.

And the new party will definitely eat up these fat vacancies. At this time, what decision will you make as the leader of the old party? "

Jia Cong thought for a while and said: "We should try our best to prevent the rapid expansion of the new party."

"That's it, then it's natural for the old parties to unite to fight against the new and get what each other needs. It's better for anyone to fill the vacancy than for someone from the new party to fill it.

What's more, they don't know that you recommended the people in the society behind the scenes, so there is no obstacle to cooperating with Jiang Xiang. Pang Chao said.

"How do you know, Sir, that Prime Minister Jiang will not betray me?" Jia Cong asked.

Pang Chao said with a smile: "Prime Minister Jiang has been a man of wisdom and protection for decades. I have known each other since we were in the Hanlin Academy. At that time, I was an editor and he was a bachelor's lecturer.

He once said to me, 'If you want peace and longevity, talk less and kowtow more'.

Therefore, he spent every day in the yamen without saying a word, just reading and writing. At lunch time, he had a better appetite than anyone else, and his stomach was full.

Once, when the "Records of Taizong" were being re-edited and compiled, the Emperor came over after reading it and casually asked who was responsible for compiling it. It was clear that Prime Minister Jiang was in charge of this matter, but he strongly recommended someone and gently removed himself.

As expected, the Supreme Emperor promoted and re-employed this person, and Prime Minister Jiang gained the reputation of putting others before himself and not seeking fame and fortune.

Only I know that his top priority is self-preservation. Think about it, no one knew the Emperor's mood or anger at that time. If it was a good thing, that would be all.

If something went wrong while compiling the book, and the Supreme Emperor punished him, Prime Minister Jiang would be able to escape the disaster, and we would know who he is from this. "

Jia Cong said with a smile: "It seems that Prime Minister Jiang can take care of himself no matter how rich or powerful he is. From this inference, he will never make an unnecessary move and sell me. This will be harmful to him."

"Of course." Pang Chao smiled and nodded.

At that moment, Jia Cong ordered people to prepare money and asked Dai Quan to meet him at his house outside the palace in the evening. He also sent people to make an appointment with Fatty Feng.

In the afternoon, Jia Cong met Feng Yuan again in the elegant room of Jiangyue Tower. After setting forth the conditions straight to the point, he waited for Feng Yuan to bargain.

Feng Yuan thought for a long time, looked at Jia Cong, and said: "I strongly recommend people from the Socialist Party, and they seem to have great ambitions."

Jia Cong waved his hands and said with a smile: "Last time I killed so many people in Jiangnan, the disaster was not small. Thanks to the socialist party members who shouted for me in Shilin, I calmed down the anger of many Jiangnan Shilin, and indirectly helped the implementation of the new law. Despite his great efforts, Cong is a man of love and justice, how can he not reciprocate his kindness?"

Feng Yuan chuckled. How could he believe his words? He shook his head and said, "I know how heroic I am. It's just that my predecessor, Prime Minister Jiang, has already recommended Ping Yangong. If he recommends him rashly, I might arouse people's suspicion."

As expected, it was exactly the same as Pang Chao's speculation. Jia Cong smiled and said: "So this time we ask Prime Minister Jiang and Prime Minister Su to take action. He can just add fuel to the flames."

"Huh?" Jia Cong's words were beyond Feng Yuan's expectation, so he frowned and said, "How easy is this? Why does Mr. Jiang think this?"

Jia Cong said: "It all depends on people. What if Jiang Xiang is allowed to serve as CEO?"

Feng Yuan took a breath, but he didn't expect Jia Cong to have such an ability to change everything.

Emperor Xifeng decided to investigate the case thoroughly this morning. In the afternoon, he made up his mind to retake the exam for the position of president.

He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "It was Mr. Pang's idea. It's really a good idea."

"Brother Feng, do you think it's feasible?" Jia Cong smiled and agreed. He couldn't deceive a smart man like Feng Yuan anyway.

Feng Yuan did not dare to neglect. This move was not only beneficial to Jia Cong, but also beneficial to the neutral lineage, because he said: "I will ask Prime Minister Jiang immediately what he means."

"Okay, Cong will go back first. If Jiang Xiang is interested, I can send someone to my house to send a message. The code word is a poem I once wrote. If it is not intentional, I can write a poem myself."

"it is good."

At the end of the Kankanshen moment, Jia Cong was joking with Ruyi, Baochai, Daiyu and others when he received a post from Feng Yuan, which read, "When the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless things in the world."

"You damn fat man, are you writing this naughty thing to disgust me?" Jia Cong scolded with a smile.

Daiyu looked over, rolled her eyes at Jia Cong, and said, "It must be a secret code written by a friend of mine."

Jia Cong secretly thought that Daiyu was smart, and said with a smile: "What secret code? Does this damn fat guy think that by praising my poem, he will be allowed to have dinner with me? I won't be fooled." After that, he threw the famous post to Qingwen for safekeeping.

Ruyi said coquettishly: "You bastard, you favor one over the other. You wrote so many good poems for Sister Bao and Yan'er before you wrote one for me. You are so partial."

Bao and Dai hurriedly comforted each other and said, "The song he wrote for Ruyi was the most thoughtful. He also asked the four leading singers to play and sing in the street, which is known all over the world.

The belt becomes wider and wider, but I don't regret it anymore. I feel haggard because of the beauty. We are envious of that. "

Ruyi smiled and said: "You are coaxing me again. This poem is just so-so, but it is better than not having as many as you. I don't care, you still have to write it for me."

Bao Dai pursed her lips and smiled, rolling her eyes at Jia Cong. You are a great talent anyway.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Ruyi, do me a favor and I'll write another one for you."

"What's the deal?" Ruyi glared at him, this bastard actually summoned someone.

Jia Cong leaned into her ear and whispered: "In two days' time, you will go to the palace to see your mother, and ask her to recommend Jiang Zhongtang as the president of Jinke Examination if she has the opportunity."

Ruyi frowned slightly and said, "Isn't this a good idea?"

"It doesn't matter, just say it's what I meant. No matter whether it succeeds or not, I will accept your love. How about it?" Jia Cong said with a smile.

Ruyi spat: "The whole family talks so clearly, what kind of affection do I want you to have? I'll just go and talk to my mother."

Jia Cong held her hand and said with a smile: "Yan'er is so virtuous now, I'm still a little used to it."

"Bah, I see your skin is itchy again. I'll open a dyeing workshop to give you some color." Ruyi blushed and said angrily.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "Yan'er, you are itchy and my husband can help you relieve the itch. Can you reciprocate with courtesy?"

"Oh, you're going to die, what can you say!" Ruyi's face turned red, she stood up and called Jia Cong, but was pulled into his arms and held by him, unable to move.

Baochai and Daiyu were no longer "Wu Xia Amen". They couldn't understand Jia Cong's flirtatious words, so they turned away with blushing faces, secretly cursing the obscene things in their hearts, speaking freely and without shame.

Jia Cong was joking and having fun with his lovely wives and concubines at home. After dinner, he quietly went out to visit Dai Quan.

Seeing that Dai Quan had another argument, it was not important. Jia Cong knew that as long as he had money, everything would be easy to do here.

"Please accept this one hundred thousand, general manager, and give another one hundred thousand as a token of gratitude to the general manager for Tian's kindness when the matter is completed." Jia Cong pushed a wooden box over.

"This, this is too heavy. You and I, brothers, why do you have to do this?" Dai Quan slid open half of the box cover and saw that it was full of huge banknotes of one thousand taels. He hurriedly waved his hands to refuse, but the eagerness in his eyes almost made him The banknotes ignited.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "The old minister and Cong have a deep friendship. If it were my own business, wouldn't taking these things be a betrayal of the general manager's kindness?

It's just that Cong was entrusted with this matter, and it was still a matter of public and private matters. Cong couldn't do the favor himself and let the manager suffer in vain. "

Dai Quan then accepted it with a smile and said: "Since I have told you, our family has to go through mountains of swords and seas of fire, let alone say a few words.

If given the opportunity, I will do my best and will not teach my brother to break his trust. "

"Thank you, Mr. Manager, for the beauty of adulthood." Jia Cong cupped his hands and said with a smile.
