Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 161
Feng Kezong felt that he had put on a bad face again, he didn't know how he got into it step by step, and he clearly thought in his heart that he would never be a villain again.

But Yang Chao asked him to threaten the scholar. After weighing it for a long time, he felt that the risk was not too big. Compared with the benefits of success, it was nothing to worry about, so he agreed.

But he didn't expect that the following developments were completely beyond his expectations. The civil servant who was supposed to deal with the scholar with him turned around and rebelled. He smashed the Zhen Fusi, but all the anger of the fourth master was directed at him, Feng Kezong.

It doesn't matter if the scholar took his anger out on him, the important thing is that the errand was messed up, and it's no wonder that Jin Yiwei didn't blame Feng Kezong on him.

This made Feng Kezong think that Yang Chao had tricked him again, so he hurried to cry.

Yang Chao comforted him and said, "Don't worry. Everything should be settled. Those who deserve to get rich will be promoted, and those who should be promoted will be promoted."

Feng Kezong smiled wryly: "I dare not think about being promoted and getting rich. If I don't get involved, I will be grateful."

Yang Chao smiled and pushed an official letter towards Feng Kezong.

Feng Kezong looked at it strangely, envious and puzzled at the same time.

"Congratulations, Mr. Yang, for being promoted again!"

That official document was Yang Chao's official diploma. Xiong Mingyu didn't make a mistake this time, and he really helped General Yang Chao get it done. Not only did he get nine heads last time, but he also got 36 heads this time.

As a general, ten heads are a first-level skill, and ten more heads add one level, and a maximum of three levels can be promoted in a row.

But Xiong Mingyu told Yang Chao that he was too young to be promoted too quickly, so he was promoted to a military rank and became the real-time general manager, and the rest of the work was used for promotion to the department.

He was directly promoted from Wei Qianhu to Wei Commander Tongzhi, from a third-rank officer.

Xiong Mingyu finished his military exploits, and Yang Chao also wanted to take care of the scholar.

But in order to comfort the depressed Feng Kezong, Yang Chao showed him his official documents.

"Haha, it won't be long before I congratulate Mr. Feng. I can reveal in advance that Mr. Feng can go to work, and it's best to be promoted to the governor of Jinyiwei Town."

Feng Kezong smiled wryly and said: "With Master Yang's good words, I will take my leave first."

Feng Kezong obviously didn't believe that he could get promoted and make a fortune, but it was still necessary to do some work.

If this matter succeeded, he had to manage it up and down. If this matter failed, he still had to manage it up and down. If he succeeded in promotion, he failed to save his life.

The negotiation upstairs didn't look like a negotiation. The two parties in the negotiation flattered each other, and when they parted, the civil servant and the fourth son still saw each other off, feeling like confidants.

Yang Chao had to admire the acting skills of old bureaucrats like Zhang Guowei. Of course, they had a good reason for agreeing to act, because they wanted to protect the fourth son and those hundreds of scholars. Fourth son, the best for those scholars.

Otherwise, the delay would be too long, and the emperor would lose his patience. With the image of Emperor Chongzhen frequently killing Shangshu and Shoufu among civil officials, these civil officials really couldn't guarantee whether the emperor would kill scholars.

That's why they agreed to Yang Chao to start acting, and as a result, this acting directly entered the Erli Society, and was introduced by the fourth son as a confidant.

But the matter is not over yet, now the Fourth Young Master has promised not to cause trouble for the time being, but still asks the government to punish Jin Yiwei.

In fact, the fourth son had to do the same, otherwise he would not be able to explain to the members of the Erli Society, nor to the Jiangnan scholars.

Although they are leaders, and relying on their overt and secret operations during this period, they have faintly united the Jiangnan scholars to their side, but once the other scholars are dissatisfied, no one will listen to them.

Therefore, they must get a result, which is what they have always claimed, to punish Tian Wan, the commander of Jinyiwei.

But this is too difficult, Jin Yiwei is the emperor's own army, and no one can move, except the emperor himself, so this is no longer a battle between the fourth son and the Jiangnan officialdom, but a direct rivalry with the emperor.

What is even more difficult is that this Tian Wan is not only the leader of the emperor's army, but also a relative of the emperor. He is the father of Concubine Tian and the father-in-law of Emperor Chongzhen. The worst thing is that Concubine Tian is still the first favorite concubine of Emperor Chongzhen. What's worse, this beloved concubine is dying of illness, and her life is not long in sight, so Emperor Chongzhen really can't deal with Tian Guifei's father at this time.

Therefore, it was only a short period of peace at this time, and it was just a temporary truce between the Jiangnan officialdom and the scholar group.

In the eyes of Jiangnan officialdom, including Xiong Mingyu and the group of old foxes, it is still a dead end. One side is the scholar who has made it clear that he is not afraid of death, and the emperor will not give up unless Tian Wan is punished. It is difficult for the two parties to compromise for the emperor of the country.

But Yang Chao is full of confidence. He knows that by this time, he has won and the overall situation has been settled.

There are people from Yang Chao in the Erli Society, the so-called fortress is always broken from the inside.

In many revolutionary stories of later generations, the reactionaries used this trick to deal with revolutionary comrades, and the failure of the revolution was always caused by the betrayal of the traitors.

Therefore, Yang Chao has always been invincible, not only because of the deep appreciation of the fourth son of the Huangfeng Mansion, but even without the Huangfeng Mansion, Yang Chao is still sure to control the general behavior of the fourth son, because the most famous courtesans in Nanjing are basically Yang Chao's people agreed to help Yang Chao as an internal response. Of course, the purpose of the courtesan was to help these scholars, especially Li Xiangjun felt that it was because of him that he had harmed these young masters, and he desperately wanted to help them.

The fourth son is surrounded by his own people, how can the fourth son win, he can only be led by Yang Chao step by step.

So from the very beginning, even if there was no Huangfeng Mansion, Yang Chao could influence the backbone of the scholars, the Fourth Young Master. The only thing he had to do was to control the entire group of scholars through these backbones. It is equivalent to controlling the scholar.

And the civil servants had no confidence in themselves because of their incompetence again and again, and let Yang Chao help them deal with it, which meant that Yang Chao had temporarily controlled the civil servants.

The quartet of forces involved in this incident, the scholar group, the civil service group, the emperor, and the Jin Yiwei, two of them have been temporarily controlled by Yang Chao, so there are fewer people to deal with.

For civil servants, scholars, the emperor and Jin Yiwei, they are all in the game and are very confused, but Yang Chao is completely outside the game, it is easier to distinguish and control the situation.

In Yang Chao's view, the forces in the four directions are all to be dealt with and straightened out by himself. Now that three of the four directions have been straightened out, the scholars, civil servants, and Jin Yiwei can actually be controlled, so the great success will be accomplished. More than half of it.

There is only one emperor to deal with, and in Yang Chao's view, it is the easiest, so Yang Chao thinks that he has succeeded [-]% of the time.
