After everyone had a drink, some noble nobles who couldn't control themselves turned around and went out to other private rooms to convey Liu Haojia's message. As a result, everyone started another toasting climax!
After another round of toasts, everyone was already 70 to 80% drunk, so naturally they began to speak unscrupulously! So the topic quickly shifted to Liu Haojia. Xu Xigao put his arm around Liu Haojia's shoulders and said, "Brother, you went to the palace after the morning session. What reward did Long live the Lord give you?"
The people next to me also nodded and said, "Yes, that's right! But I don't think Long Live the Lord will reward you with gold and silver, so it must be an official position!"
This person's words caused a burst of laughter from everyone. It seems that the stingy image of Lao Zhu's family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people!
After Liu Haojia waited for everyone to laugh, he held out two fingers for everyone to see clearly. Then he retracted one finger and said, "Long live the Lord, you have given me the position of commander of the Jinyiwei! I will be responsible for taking charge of the Nanzhen Fusi!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then burst into cheers and admiration! This is a real position of power! It also vaguely exceeds the rights of those nobles who control the 12th Regiment Camp!
Then Liu Haojia put away his other finger and said, "There is another position that is the general of the Beijing camp!"
After hearing this, the room immediately became quiet! Because among the fifteen or sixteen people in this room, none of the noble families who control the capital camp are missing, they are all on this table! They immediately realized that if Liu Haojia entered the Beijing camp, he would compete with them for food! .
Liu Haojia knew what they were thinking by looking at their expressions. He smiled and then said the contents of the imperial edict word for word. After hearing the specific content, everyone's expressions immediately became relaxed!
These people have read too many official documents, and they immediately understood the meaning after listening to them! It turned out that Long Live Master didn’t want to give the money directly, so he gave Liu Haojia a temporary job to get an extra amount of money!
After confirming this result, everyone felt relieved and began to sincerely celebrate Liu Haojia! At the same time, the news spread throughout the restaurant, and everyone came to toast Liu Haojia again to celebrate the birth of another top nobleman in the capital!
The atmosphere inside Shiweizhai is lively and cheerful, but the outside is completely different! Because he walked out as soon as the morning news ended, everyone who was waiting to divide the Liu family's property had to stop because the people who were in charge of these things were all "retired"!
For a time, the entire civil service group was in a state of gloom! Some people even shouted in the street: "The way of heaven is unfair! The way of heaven is unfair!" Others yelled at Liu Haojia, saying that he "confused right and wrong and called a deer a horse!" There was chaos for a while!
Many scholars and low-ranking officials in Difan Tower were drinking tea instead of wine, celebrating that they had killed another nobleman and that their power would be further strengthened! But just when they were in high spirits, news suddenly came that more than thirty officials from Peng Jianbin, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, had invited themselves to serve, and a large number of censors from the Inspectorate were reprimanded!
This was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was stunned! And when detailed news came bit by bit, they were even more surprised!
The person who brought the news was frothing at the mouth, and the people who heard the news were dumbfounded! It turned out that such a wonderful thing happened in a morning court, which made everyone beat their chests and secretly hate that their official positions were too small!
These people just want to watch the excitement, plus a little bit of indignation! But those officials who were forced to take up their official positions were in mourning! Now more than a dozen people have gathered at Zhang Siwei's home. They want to see if the boss of his faction can come up with an idea to get Zhang Juzheng to take back his life?
After they sighed for a long time in the study room, the door of the study room was finally pushed open! Zhang Siwei, who had changed into casual clothes, appeared in the study.
When everyone saw him coming, they stood up to greet him, but Zhang Siwei stopped at the door and bowed to them! This shocked everyone so much that they returned the favor one after another, shouting, "You can't do it!"
After Zhang Siwei finished bowing, he waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down, while he took his seat in the main seat. Then he let out a long sigh and said: "I didn't catch the thief's trap for a while, but it will affect everyone!"
Peng Jianbin had the highest status among these people. He raised his hand and said, "This is not your business."
It's just that the thief is very cunning and has set a trap for us to drill! "
Zhang Siwei nodded and said: "Of course that's the truth, but we didn't discover his trap after all! Now it seems that I was just used to being arrogant in the past, and that's why I fell into his trap!"
Naturally, everyone gathered around Zhang Siwei to comfort him. And Zhang Siwei also knew what these people were thinking. They came here because they wanted to be reinstated. But this is not a good time to think of ways to arrange official positions for them. So he led everyone to discuss what happened in the morning and said: "Although I made a mistake this time, fortunately there is still room for improvement! You all left the court as official officials, and there is no problem with your status, so Liu The father will definitely look for opportunities for you to recover in the court!"
When everyone saw Zhang Siwei saying this, they knew that he had agreed to the matter, so they relaxed and prepared to wait patiently. Because they also know that it is impossible to reinstate the official, and they can only wait a few years to see if there is a good position.
But they also understand that those with lower grades still have a chance, but high-grade people like Peng Jianbin have no chance at all! Because it is so difficult for them to find a vacancy in that position! Unless someone really gets a job, they will usually work until they die!
But when things got here, it was unthinkable. At least Zhang Siwei made the decision for them, leaving a glimmer of hope! So they comforted each other at Zhang Siwei's home for a while and then dispersed, each returning to his hometown to wait for the opportunity to recover.
But the other group of officials were much worse off! These people were all arranged by Hu Zhiyu. Even if they wanted to find Hu Zhiyu, they didn't know where he was? So they can only stay at home and feel extremely depressed!
Fortunately, Hu Zhiyu also knew that one should not burn bridges across rivers. When he found out what happened, he lost his temper and broke countless things. After he recovered, he wrote a letter to everyone. The letter also contained several large banknotes! And the most ridiculous thing is that these bank notes are actually from Lend Lease Bank!
These officials originally thought that their bad luck must have been in vain. Just when they were sighing, they received letters and banknotes. After reading them, they felt much better! In any case, the trip was not in vain. Although there may not be a chance of recovery in the future, I got a lot of gold and silver, which can be regarded as some benefits!
