Shangguan Yi fell silent at this time.
He had a feeling that Yang Fan had said these words to him on purpose.
But he couldn't figure out why Yang Fan, a librarian who didn't even have an official status, would say such things to him.
Chen Xueli also glanced at Yang Fan in surprise at this time. He couldn't understand how this handsome young man He De could win Yang Fan's favor.
Obviously, Yang Fan wants to focus on cultivating Shangguan Yi!
Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Chen Xueli asked again: "Yishan, are you coming here just to have a drink with me?"
"As expected, I can't hide it from my mentor. I came here this time to borrow someone from you." Yang Fan replied.
"Oh, tell me, if I can help you, feel free to borrow it."
"Here, it's this guy!"
With that said, Yang Fan pointed at Shangguan Yi.
At this time, Chen Xueli was a little confused and asked in confusion: "Why do you need to use the word borrowed? Is this person a professor in the school?"
Since Chen Yueru was responsible for most of the affairs in the school, Chen Xueli did not know that Shangguan Yi was the administrator of the library.
"Yes, Shangguan Yi is the administrator of the school's library."
Although Shangguan Yi was very happy about Yang Fan's attention, he still looked at Yang Fan and said: "Grand Governor, thank you for your kindness. However, I have not finished retrieving the books in the library. Can you allow me to stay in the library for another month? ?”
There are more than 10,000 books and classics in the entire library, and it is said that a batch of books will arrive in the next few days.
Although part of it has been completed, it is undoubtedly a huge project to classify and sort out so many books.
Shangguan Yi doesn't want to do things that start off but end at the end.
What's more, you can borrow books for free when sorting them out. Shangguan Yi really can't bear to work as a librarian.
Yang Fan waved his hand and said: "It's just tens of thousands of books. How many years and months will it take to compile your method? I will teach you a method and it will be done in three days. Eat first and don't think too much."
Shangguan Yi naturally didn't believe it and said helplessly: "Grand Governor, it's not that I don't believe you. Books have been sorted out like this throughout the ages. I tried my best to sort out the books in the building in one month without any rest. It took me three days to sort out the books in the building. Clearly it’s impossible.”
Can you complete the catalog indexing of tens of thousands of books in three days?
If you can read the entire catalog in three days, it will be considered a great effort!
Yang Fan put down his wine glass and said, "How about we make a bet. If my method allows you to complete this directory index in three days, you must implement what I say without hesitation. How about that?"
"It's a deal!"
"It's hard to chase a horse!"
After the two high-fived each other, Yang Fan curled his lips and said no more.
It was hard to get this guy to fall into the trap, and Yang Fan naturally had a way to do it.
There are only tens of thousands of books, compared with later generations, a library with millions of books is simply child's play.
Besides, Yang Fan also wanted to show off in front of Shangguan Yi, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, so that this guy would follow him wholeheartedly in the future.
After the meal, several people ate for more than an hour.
After getting the person, Yang Fan stood up and left directly.
Naturally, Shangguan Yi followed closely and went out.
*****
The Wang family's mansion in Jiangning County.
Wang Toufeng was dressed in a brocade robe, kneeling and sitting on the couch, his back straight.
He is already in his sixties this year, but he is well maintained and his black hair is neatly combed.
His eyebrows are set into his temples, his eyes are bright, and his face does not have the dark spots of old age. He comes from a thousand-year-old family, so it is natural that he is full of nobility.
He is a direct descendant of the Wang family in Taiyuan. He came to Jiangnan on his own decades ago to work hard. With the help of the Wang family in Taiyuan, Wang Toufeng quickly opened up a business in Jiangnan.
Even in just a few decades, a huge Wang family was built in Jiangnan, which can be said to be infinitely beautiful.
Sitting in front of him at this time was Wang Yu, the eldest son and the successor of the Jiangnan Wang family.
Looking at his son who had just returned from Chang'an, Wang Toufeng asked: "How is the situation in Guanzhong? Is there any result in the impeachment of Yang Fan?"
Wang Yu said happily: "I really don't know what charm Yang Fan has. He is actually protected by Wei Zheng and others, and they unite to ask your Majesty not to impeach Yang Fan."
"However, Yang Fan committed suicide and wrote a memorial about Jiangnan's economy, which caused many backlashes in Guanzhong. Now most of the officials in the entire court are demanding that Yang Fan be severely punished. Although the emperor has not yet expressed his stance immediately, he wants to give an explanation to many courtiers and severely punish him. Yang Fan is a foregone conclusion.”
Wang Toufeng raised his eyelids, looked at Wang Yu, shook his head slightly, and said nothing.
Wang Yu was a little confused as to why his father behaved like this, and asked: "Father, this time not only most of the censors in the censorship platform jointly impeached, but also many officials from aristocratic families joined together to attack him. It was because your majesty wanted to protect Yang Fan. We also have to worry about the dissatisfaction of the courtiers caused by this, so we can’t just remove all the officials in the court, right?”
"What's more, we just ask Yang Fan to stop serving as the governor of Jiangnan Province and ask the emperor to transfer him back to Chang'an. I think the emperor will definitely compromise in order to stabilize the court situation!"
Having said this, Wang Yu couldn't hide his excitement.
This time the impeachment was launched, a large number of civil servants from the DPRK and China were gathered, and the scale and momentum were simply crushing!
What's more important is that there is an unexpected surprise this time. Yang Fan's memorial has attracted other officials from aristocratic families to target him. It is a great opportunity.
However, it also made him see clearly the importance of Yang Fan in the court.
So many ministers defended Yang Fan, which made him feel uncomfortable.
If Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others had not sided with the emperor, Yang Fan might have been impeached long ago.
It is unbelievable that at this time, the Wang family has become the leader of Jiangnan with the support of the Jiangnan nobles.
Wang Yu couldn't help but feel annoyed when he thought about having to wait a while for the results to come out.
Wang Toufeng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Things didn't seem to be going according to their plan. This was not what he wanted.
According to their original speculation, as long as the Jiangnan gentry and the Taiyuan Wang family united to impeach Yang Fan, Yang Fan would definitely be sidelined or transferred back to Chang'an.
But now the emperor has actually treated it coldly, obviously wanting to suppress this incident.
Nowadays, the scale of the impeachment of Yang Fan is getting larger and larger, and more and more ministers are participating, which makes him feel a little uneasy.
If these people fail to grasp one degree and threaten the stability of the government, this is definitely not allowed by Li Er.
The development of things obviously deviated from my original intention and went too far.
The Wang family just wants to safeguard the interests of the Jiangnan nobles and become the leader of Jiangnan, nothing more.
But obviously, once things got out of hand and the emperor was angry, it would be counterproductive.
If it was just to safeguard the interests of Jiangnan nobles, the emperor would allow it.
After all, the stability of Jiangnan was equally important in the emperor's heart.
However, if this incident threatens the imperial power and the stability of the court, His Majesty Li Er will never tolerate it!
As a veteran, Wang Toufeng smelled a hint of danger.
Wang Toufeng raised his head, looked at Wang Yu in front of him, and said expressionlessly: "From now on, our Wang family will stay out of the matter and don't have any involvement in this matter."
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "If you can't pick it off by then, it will be your personal behavior and has nothing to do with the entire Wang family. You have to insist that it was under the instructions of Changsun Anye and Changsun Chong. Do you know that? "
Wang Yu was a little confused, his throat was crawling a few times, and he wanted to ask, but he didn't dare.
Even though Wang Toufeng is already over sixty years old, which is a very old age, he is still considered the best among the entire Wang family.
Thinking of this, Wang Yu had to say: "Haier knows."
However, in my heart, I didn't think so.
He admitted that the current emperor was wise and powerful, but Li Erzhen did not dare to ignore Yang Fan's impeachment and risk the turmoil in the court.
You know, that is equivalent to self-destruction!
Wang Toufeng naturally saw Wang Yu's expression in his eyes and could make a rough guess about his thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
I originally wanted to build the Jiangnan Wang family into a giant that is not inferior to the Taiyuan Wang family, but there is no successor in the next generation!
Although Wang Yu had some small calculations, they were just small tricks. He had insufficient understanding and impetuous temperament, and could not take on big responsibilities at all.
Wang Toufeng felt sad and didn't bother to explain the danger to Wang Yu.
He was confident that with his status as a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the emperor would not dare to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans as long as they were not rebelling.
In fact, Wang Toufeng was also lucky in his heart. He really wanted to see how the emperor would solve the problem in such a difficult situation.
You must know that after the destruction of Nanchen, Jiangnan was controlled by the aristocratic families who moved south, occupying most of the interests in the Jiangnan area.
The impeachment of Yang Fan this time was not so much aimed at Yang Fan as it was aimed at His Majesty Li Er, so that the emperor would not easily interfere in Jiangnan affairs.
Because all the Jiangnan nobles knew the purpose of Li Er's people coming to Jiangnan.
It was to use the fertile south of the Yangtze River to provide food, grass and logistical support for the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo.
At the thought of the Eastern Conquest of Goguryeo, the Jiangnan nobles felt a little frightened.
After all, the three conquests of Goguryeo by the former Sui Dynasty almost exhausted the last of the Sui Dynasty's wealth!
In the end, Emperor Yang of Sui even came to Jiangnan in person to force the Jiangnan nobles to contribute money and effort!
Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was killed in Jiangdu due to the calculations of the Jiangnan nobles, the Jiangnan nobles still did not want to empty out their family's lifetime wealth because of the eastern expedition to Goguryeo.
This is also the reason why the Jiangnan nobles are so resistant to Yang Fan, because they hope to nip in the cradle His Majesty Li Er's intention of using Jiangnan as a logistics base for the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo.
The meaning is obvious. If the emperor wants to march eastward, Li Er will find a way to raise money and food by himself, and don't take advantage of the Jiangnan nobles.
As for whether Li Er insists on going his own way or compromises, it depends on his courage and determination!
…
Tai Chi Palace and Ganlu Palace!
His Majesty Li Er, who had just come down to court, was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, standing with his hands behind his hands, standing in front of the window and looking into the distance.
The whistling north wind made the leaves in the distance rustle, but Li Er couldn't feel a trace of coldness.
Behind him, a long book desk was filled with a large pile of memorials, and even a few copies were thrown directly on the stove to burn.
Changsun Wuji stood aside with his hands down, silent.
His Majesty, Long Yan, was so angry over these memorials to impeach Yang Fan that he even burned several copies. This was unprecedented.
Obviously, His Majesty Li Er's anger has reached its extreme.
Changsun Wuji, who deeply understood His Majesty Li Er's temperament, knew that he could not touch the emperor's brow at this time.
Otherwise, you may get yourself into trouble and get into trouble.
There was silence in the main hall, except for the boiling teapot on the table that kept making a gurgling sound.
After a while, His Majesty Li Er slowly exhaled, turned his head, looked at the comrade, partner, and brother-in-law in front of him with a pair of bright eyes, and slowly continued:
"Auxiliary machine, we are inseparable. You should understand my thoughts very well. Why did you say nothing in the court and let the officials pour unnecessary dirty water on Yang Fan? Are you still here because of Chong'er's incident? Blame Yang Fan?"
"But you know how much I hope you can say a fair word for Yang Fan. You must know that I sent Jiang Yangfan south not for personal gain, but for the future of the empire."
"Now you are allowing others to criticize Yang Fan and put the interests of the empire at risk. Do you want to make the DPRK a mess?"
These words were definitely spoken from the bottom of my heart.
His Majesty Li Er knew that Changsun Wuji complained about Yang Fan because of Changsun Chong's incident.
So much so that he reminded him, Fang Xuanling and others to protect Yang Fan, but this guy didn't say a word, which really disappointed Li Er.
There is no doubt that Chang Sun Chong was solely responsible for the grudge between Chang Sun Chong and Yang Fan.
It's understandable that Changsun Wuji has opinions about Yang Fan, but for his own personal grudge to make the entire court a mess, that's enough!
Yes, His Majesty Li Er believes that many aristocratic families in Guanzhong impeached Yang Fan one-sidedly, and there is definitely Changsun Wuji behind them.
You must know that Changsun Wuji is the leader of the Guanzhong family. Without his acquiescence, those officials of the Guanzhong family would not dare to jump out directly.
But His Majesty Li Er really couldn't bring himself to deal with Changsun Wuji, and he didn't believe that Changsun Wuji would betray him.
After sharing life and death and fighting side by side for so many years, His Majesty Li Er still deeply trusted Changsun Wuji's loyalty to him.
Changsun Wuji lowered his head and said nothing. The emperor and his ministers were speechless.
After a long time, Changsun Wuji raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen admits that he was a little petty in not speaking up for Yang Fan in the court, but the matter of the Guanzhong family gathering to impeach Yang Fan really has nothing to do with Wei Chen. Can Your Majesty believe it?"
His Majesty Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji blankly for a while, then uttered two words: "Seriously?"
Changsun Wuji nodded: "I dare not deceive Your Majesty!"
His Majesty Li Er frowned more and more tightly and remained silent.
If Changsun Wuji denies it, then it is not his acquiescence. His Majesty Li Er can believe this.
But if it weren't for Changsun Wuji's acquiescence, who could bring these officials from the Guanzhong family together?
Could it be that the five surnames and Qi Wang are united together?
If this is the case, then the matter is serious!
After all, the Jiangnan gentry plus officials from the Guanzhong family accounted for 70% to 80% of the officials in the court.
Once these people unite, he, the emperor, will not be able to sit still.
Are these people trying to force me to have a baby?
Thinking of this, a stern look flashed in His Majesty Li Er's eyes.
He understood almost instantly the intention behind these people's impeachment of Yang Fan.
These people obviously want to knock Yang Fan into the dust and then divide the interests of Jiangnan!
You must know that Yang Fan has only been in Jiangnan for less than a year, and the money that has passed through his hands is at least nearly 30 million yuan.
This is equivalent to a year's tax of the Tang Empire. No matter which family you belong to, this is a huge fortune.
No matter who holds it in their hands, they can definitely make the family huge.
Obviously, these aristocratic families are interested in this piece of fat meat in Jiangnan, and everyone wants to take a bite!
Damn it, these people are so hateful!
His Majesty Li Er clenched his fists tightly behind his back, wishing he could get rid of these people quickly.
Could it be that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could ignore the interests of the empire for the benefit of their own families?
For the sake of profit, do you dare to blatantly coerce me and ask me to take out the fat meat in my mouth and share it with you?
It's simply delusional.
It seems that I haven't raised the butcher knife for so long, these people have forgotten that I can kill people!
