The next day, Song Fang calculated the time to go to Xie's house when he went to the yamen, but he didn't see Xie Zheng. Yang said that their yamen was handling a case recently and his head was tightly pressed down and he came back very late during this period.
Because of Song Wei's relationship, Xie Zheng gradually gained appreciation from Emperor Guangxi. Last year, Xie Zheng was on the list of examiners for the inspection of various prefectures. A group of eight people came out a month in advance. However, when he encountered the murder of the prefectural prefecture in Qingzhou, Xie Zheng took several examiners to solve the case and made great contributions without delaying the inspection. Emperor Guangxi saw that he had some talent in this regard, so he promoted him to the Ministry of Justice. Now he is a fifth-rank doctor.
The fifth grade is already at the level of the Imperial College and Hongwenguan quota. The lintel of the Xie family has risen a little higher. Because Xie Zheng's eldest son Xie Feng is almost at the age of discussing marriage, there are many wives who come to the Xie family to visit. Song Fang left without a long time and told her mother-in-law truthfully when she returned home.
Mrs. Xu sighed, "It was Jiajia's intention to do it temporarily. We are too anxious. The palace examination has not yet been released. Take your time and hurry to make do with her. If it is not easy for me to pass the future, I feel uneasy."
My mother-in-law was talking, so Song Fang naturally had to stop for the time being and did not mention the matter of seeing Xu Jiaxiang again.
...
There are only 300 candidates in the palace examination. Except for the top ten, there are some controversies that the prince wants to decide. The reviewers have already set the rankings of the remaining 200 candidates. The reason why the prince refused to give up the rankings is because the prince has an order. The list must be released on twenty-six this month. Calculate the time, and there is still half a month left.
On this day, Zhao Xi sent someone to tell Song Wei to come to see him.
Song Wei entered the imperial study room, and after saluting, he stood aside.
Zhao Xi put down the red pen in his hand to review the memorials and looked up at him, "I recently discovered that the hidden stakes buried in the capital of Yun are far beyond my previous imagination. What do you think they want to do?"
Song Wei originally thought that the prince could not determine the rankings of the top three, so he asked him to discuss it, but he did not expect it, but it was for the Yun family's secret stance.
Yun's intelligence agency is named Tianyingwei. Song Wei has heard of it. It is an existence that is even more secret and complete than the royal spy network.
In other words, Yunhuai will definitely know where there is movement in front of the prince.
After a while of silence, Song Wei said: "Yun family and the court have always been the best waters. Although they have many hidden stakes buried in the capital, they have never done anything to get out of the woods. They are still quite peaceful, but..."
After a pause, Song Wei continued: "If your highness thinks they are annoying, you might as well change the way to take these people for your own use. Your Highness is about to ascend the throne, and it coincides with the war in the northern border. The Northern Yan royal family must have been paying close attention to our country's movements. Now your highness is about to use people. If you can get help from the Sky Eagle Guard at this time, it is like adding wings to it. It can not only eliminate some of the Northern Yan's thoughts, but also strengthen the Chu spy network, and kill multiple goals at one fell swoop."
Zhao Xi listened and suddenly burst into laughter.
Song Wei immediately stopped the topic, "Does Your Highness think it's not appropriate?"
Of course it is not inappropriate.
Zhao Xi just suddenly understood why his father was willing to go to the market to find such an assistant minister for him.
Song Wei's talent cannot be underestimated. He just raised his head and guessed all his thoughts.
Such a clear and sensible minister is rare.
"You keep talking." Zhao Xi said: "I want to hear how you plan to take these people for your own use."
Song Wei thought for a moment and replied: "For Yun, we can only use the policy of being gentle."
"oh?"
"Whether it is a secret stance or a disciple, they are not afraid of death, but their relatives are afraid of death. If Your Highness can start from this aspect, as long as the Yun family is willing to surrender, the court promises to protect every relative of their family, and the head of the Yun family may have some consideration."
"This alone is probably not enough to impress Yunhuai." Zhao Xi spitted slowly, "Since Yunhuai can make them follow allegiance wholeheartedly, I believe there will be arrangements for their relatives."
"That must be wealth and wealth, and food and clothing." Song Wei continued: "And these require a lot of money. No matter how rich the Yun family is, they cannot be rich enough to rival the country, and they cannot compare with His Highness."
"What does Song Shaoqing mean?"
"There are many industries under the name of Yun's family. Just paying taxes every year is a considerable amount. If Your Highness gave them this money, plus the protection of the court, the head of the Yun family may not have considered it."
...
After lunch, Zhao Xi asked Sanbao's father-in-law to go to Zhenxihou Mansion and connect Yunhuai to the East Palace.
Logically, Yunhuai, as a person from the world, had no fame and fortune, should have kneeled down to the prince to greet him, but Zhao Xi directly gave up and asked someone to give him a seat.
Yunhuai walked calmly to the bat-chi pattern armchair beside him and sat down.
"I'm here today, I have a deal to talk to the head of the Yun family." Zhao Xi straightened the way.
Yun Huai bowed, "Your Highness, but it's okay."
As a monarch, Zhao Xi naturally could not reveal his thoughts directly. "There are so many disciples under Yun's name, and the annual expenses are quite high, right?"
Yunhuai said slowly: "There are several industries under the name of Yun's family, and it's just a barely living."
He was not too humble in this. Yun's family needs to spend a lot of money to cultivate elite disciples and the Tianying Guard, who is responsible for the intelligence network. In addition, the family of these disciples is responsible for the family. However, in order not to cross the line, the Yun family has done a very ordinary property under their name, and the annual expenditure plus tax payments are not much.
"If I make the decision and exempt all industries under the Yun family from taxation, what do the Yun family leader think?"
Yunhuai was wise, and the prince had just started, and he had already guessed what he said next.
In other words, when he first entered Beijing to pick up Xue Yinhuan and the prince asked him if he wanted to find a job in the court, he expected that such a day would come.
The prince wanted to accept Yun's family for his use.
Yunhuai did not have many contacts with Zhao Xi, but based on the information from the stakes, he was already enough to understand the young prince who was about to ascend the throne.
The young prince had a ruthless spirit in his bones, but he had not been released for the time being. If he ruled the world in time, he would be even more chilling than Emperor Guangxi, who was suspicious by nature.
Since the prince has decided to conquer Yun, the consequences of Yun's resistance against him can only be both defeated.
Yunhuai did not say that he would agree or that he would not agree. He only asked Zhao Xi, "I wonder what kind of existence your Highness intends to cultivate the Sky Eagle Guard into?"
Yun's Tianying Guard was hidden very deeply. Except for the head of the family, even the inner disciples and even the personal disciples could not know the exact location of the net.
Zhao Xi knew that Yunhuai was a very smart person. Speaking to such a person would save a lot of verbal talk. "There is a Chilong Guard in the North Yan. It is said that it is a top hidden guard that will only appear when the country is destroyed. However, this time, in order to deal with you, they showed up in advance and died the two leading masters. Instead, it made me feel that Chilong Guard is just like this. The Sky Eagle Guard is hidden deeper than them, enough to become the top hidden guard of the Chu State. If you surrender to the court, all the huge amount of money spent on cultivating them in the future will be borne by the national treasury. The industrial taxes under the name of the Yun family will be exempted. As for you, you are still the head of the Yun family, and you can be free from the world. Within the scope of Chu's law, I will not interfere with any of your freedom."
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to hand over the Sky Eagle Guard carefully cultivated by Yun to the court.
Yunhuai pondered for a moment, "I want to know what your highness plan is next."
Zhao Xi did not avoid him, "Let the Sky Eagle Guard sneak into Beiyan, I want all the information from the Northern Yan Royal Capital."
Although Zhao Xi had buried some secret stakes there before, they were too careful in their work and were a little restrained, making it difficult to obtain first-hand information.
What's more, most of the hidden stakes were pulled out by the Imperial Concubine of Northern Yan, and now the rest is more cautious, and it is difficult to transmit information back.
"It sounds like a very good condition. I'm just a vain and I don't seem to have to choose." Yun Huai teased.
"The head of the Yun family can consider it." Zhao Xi said: "I won't force it."
"I can hand over the Sky Eagle Guard, but I have to add some conditions."
"Tell me," Zhao Xi signaled him.
"Give me a free job."
Zhao Xi was stunned.
He remembered that a few years ago, Yunhuai had just come to the capital and tried to win over him and invite him to enter the North Korea. At that time, Yunhuai directly refused. Why did he suddenly mention that he would go to the North Korea today?
This is incredible!
"The head of the Yun family is sure that it's not kidding?"
Yunhuai's tone was calm, and there was no flaw. "There are people who cannot be convinced and want to leave a job and stay in the capital."
Zhao Xi almost blurted out and asked him who could not convince him.
But I swallowed it back when I was at my mouth.
It is difficult to deal with Yunhuai's headache.
Thinking that Yun Huai was so readily agreeing to give up the Tianying Guard and was willing to serve, Zhao Xi still spoke out: "If there is a place I can help, the head of the Yun family will just speak."
Yun Huai didn't know what he thought of, but a trace of helplessness climbed on his lips, "That person is not enlightened, Your Highness can't help."
