Chapter 470 News
Xiyuan, the cabinet is on duty.

Zhang Cong has been sitting in the house for a long time, but no one pays attention.

His reputation is too bad, it can be said that he is not liked by others.In the last ceremony incident, he had already offended the entire civil servant group.In the eyes of an honest gentleman, this is a treacherous villain, for the sake of personal glory and wealth, he will lose his face.

Fortunately, the emperor's power was still consolidated at that time, and Yang Shoufu could still control the situation.As a result, Zhang Cong was sent to Nanjing by Lord Yuanfu to be the head of the Ministry of Punishment with a halo of mental retardation on his head.

In everyone's eyes, this guy's political life is over.

Unexpectedly, he became the deputy imperial envoy in Huainan Dashui, and there seemed to be signs of a comeback.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you're just a deputy envoy.As long as Huainan's relief to the victims is over, once he resigns, he will naturally go back where he came from.

But this guy didn't know that he was just lucky to leave, but he came across the Hegong case and came back to the capital again.

Looking back, the reason why the Hegong case was found has a lot to do with Zhang Cong.In order to make matters worse and fish in troubled waters, he even betrayed Huang Jin, an allied army.

It's all right now, he's back in the capital, and he's in charge of this case again, so it's hard not to turn over.

Out of contempt for Zhang Cong, when he came to the cabinet to be on duty, everyone ignored him, and even felt that being in the same room with him would suck in dirty air.So, everyone got up and left one after another, standing outside and pointing at Zhang Cong, doing their best to ridicule him.

Zhang Cong sat in the house for a long time, but no one paid any attention to him. He was very angry in his heart.He took a sip from the teacup angrily, but spat it out with a "Puff!"

It turned out that the moment he took it in, he felt that the tea was sour and smelly, like hogwash.

"Haha!" Several small cabinet officials outside burst into laughter at the same time.

Zhang Cong looked down, and immediately understood what was going on. He felt ashamed and annoyed, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

It turned out that this cup of tea was the leftover water from the previous night. The weather was so hot, and after a day and a night, it would have already stinks.Seeing Zhang Cong coming, the small official of the cabinet deliberately made fun of him, refilling some hot water inside and bringing it to him.Zhang Cong was off guard for a while, and fell into their way.

The dignified cabinet is so vile, Zhang Cong can't wait to turn around and leave immediately.

But he can't go yet.

Coming here today was ordered by Yang Tinghe, firstly to report the progress of the Hegong case, and secondly, the court considered that Zhang Cong was only the head of the Nanjing Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the level of handling such a major case was not high enough.At Sun Dan's suggestion, the emperor decided to promote him to be the right-hand governor of the Inspectorate, a senior official of the fourth rank.The emperor still didn't forget Zhang Cong's affection back then, and Sun Dan also wanted to support him. As a result, Zhang Cong was promoted and returned to the capital.

Speaking of which, the Inspectorate is a clear collection of expenditures, and Zhang Cong's life must be sad when he goes to be an official there.This is probably also the emperor's intention to cause a little trouble for the civil servants, with the meaning of mixing sand.

Zhang Cong gritted his teeth secretly: I am also an imperial envoy now, and now I have offended civil servants and Huang Jin, it can be said that the world is vast, and only Sun Dan can rely on him.In the future, I will not be easy to mess with as an envoy. Those who have offended me today, wait to be impeached by Zhang Cong to death!

I want to endure, I want to endure!
Thinking of this, Zhang Cong straightened his body and sat upright, as if I let you blow the wind and the rain, and I have a thick face.

"What are you making trouble with, dignified cabinet, laughing and having fun, how decent it is!" An old man's voice sounded outside, although the voice was not loud, it was full of majesty.

Hearing the voice was Yang Tinghe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Cong turned his head to look over, and the group of petty officials scattered in a hurry.

When Yang Tinghe entered the room, Zhang Cong hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty Zhang Cong has met Mr. Chief Assistant."

"It's time for Bing, sit down." Yang Ting looked kindly, as if he had completely forgotten about the big ceremony back then. In fact, in his mind, Zhang Cong was not yet his political opponent: "Tell me about the case."

"Yes." Zhang Cong sorted out his thoughts and explained the He Gong case.

It took about an hour to say this, Zhang Cong spoke carefully, and Yang Tinghe also listened carefully.During the period, Yang Tinghe also interrupted him several times, asking him to repeat it.Some questions were asked over and over again.

Zhang Cong became a little impatient, and took a closer look at Yang Tinghe, only to find that the wrinkles on his face were full of fatigue, and his heart suddenly moved: Yang Tinghe is old, he won't work for long, this cabinet is about to change.

After listening, Yang Tinghe was also silent for a long time, as if he had digested all the content, and then sighed: "I am old, and my memory is not good. Zhang Cong, your appointment has been made."

Zhang Cong cheered up: "Yes."

He is here today not only for these two things, but there is one more important thing.This is related to Zhang Cong's fortune and the future of the entire Sun Dan family officials.

In fact, although Sun Dan is only a small Hanlin editor now, he already has a small team.Zhang Cong is one, and Chen Rong, the magistrate of Fangshan County, is one.And Prime Minister He Dao Xia Yan of Nanhe should also be regarded as one of them.

Although Sun Dan's official position is not high, his future is everyone's future, even related to the fate of Empress Chen and the future prince, which has to be taken care of.

Zhang Cong suddenly asked: "Master Yuanfu, I heard that Prime Minister Mao has submitted his resignation to His Majesty."

"Hey, there is such a thing. It is not easy for Prime Minister Mao to be in the cabinet for so many years. It is also a good thing to be able to return to his hometown to support him. Pity me for being an old man, but I have to support this cabinet." Yang Tinghe sighed speak.

"So, new people will be added to the cabinet?" Zhang Cong tentatively asked: "Prime Minister Mao is in charge of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Inspectorate. Zhang Cong is now in the Inspectorate. There is a change of old and new. If something happens, who will he report to?"

Yang Tinghe's dim eyes suddenly looked at Zhang Cong brightly: "Sun Dan is not yet qualified, he does not have enough qualifications, and needs to be sent to other places to practice. His Majesty has his own holy decision on this matter."

"What if Baiguangong pushes Lord Sun?" Hearing the news that Sun Dan was about to release it, Zhang Cong felt out of breath, as if the sky was about to collapse.He also wondered, such a big secret, Yang Tinghe didn't know that Zhang Cong was Sun Dan's person, but why did he tell it?Could it be...

Therefore, Zhang Cong boldly asked such a sentence, which also contained a tentative meaning.

"Bold, the appointment of officials is the most important thing in the country. Are you able to make irresponsible remarks?" Yang Tinghe suddenly put on a straight face: "I can tell you this today, but I, Yang Tinghe, have broken the rules and stepped back!"

Zhang Cong stood up without saying a word, cupped his hands, and strode away.

After walking out of Xiyuan, he jumped onto the sedan chair and shouted in a low voice, "Go to Sun Dan's residence in Liulichang, hurry up!"

The sedan chair ran out quickly, shaking Zhang Cong so much that he almost vomited.
