Chapter 017: Don't hide
Zheng Ren usually loves Zheng Chao the most, as long as he can do it for him, he will do his best, not to mention such a major event as an official career.
But at this moment, when he heard Zheng Chao's request, he glared slightly and hesitated.
He was stunned in his heart, of course it was good for Yihuan to have an upward heart, but if he wanted to attack the Pei family, it would be a big mistake.
He said with a solemn expression: "The Pei family lives in Hedong, and their power is intertwined, which is beyond our control. It's too risky for you to make a name for yourself. ”
Zheng Chao paused, then sighed helplessly, and said: "Father, why don't these children know? To be honest, this attention is not what the children themselves think, Xie Li specially reminded the children of the ......."
Zheng Ren frowned slightly: "Xie Lishi?"
Zheng Chao nodded and said, "Why did my father take up the post of Hedong Observer when he thanked Li? The Pei family has not been out of office for three generations, and now the upper authorities have issued an edict to conquer, but the Pei family refused, which has made Shangyi very dissatisfied. ”
Zheng Ren still shook his head, still feeling that this matter was too inappropriate. He has been in Hedong for decades, and until now, he only knows that the Pei family's power is not ordinary, but he doesn't know where the specific power is.
The most frightening thing in this world is this uncertainty.
The Pei family is a family of prime ministers, and there are too many children who have been in the prime minister's family, but the Yongning Marquis Mansion is a newly crowned noble, and Zheng Ren has an instinctive fear of the Pei family.
He was afraid that even if the emperor wanted to deal with the Pei family, the Pei family would be safe and sound. But the Yongning Hou Mansion does not have the ability of the Pei family.
He had to observe this point and be cautious.
Zheng Chao's eyes darkened, and he said: "Father, Empress Dowager Liping, the imperial power has been returned to the present. Three years have passed, and the courtiers who were not satisfied with the present have been quite obedient, and no one dares to underestimate the present day anymore. Now the path that Xie Li pointed out to the child is the most important thing today. ”
This opportunity, or bait, Xie Lishi was placed in front of Zheng Chao, and Zheng Chao couldn't be unmoved and couldn't help but plan.
The Xie family has many children, even if they are in-laws, Zheng Chao is really not sure that the Xie family will only be for himself. Otherwise, Xie Li would not have specially reminded him.
After pondering for a moment, Zheng Rencai said, "Why do you want to take the Pei family today?"
Among the ten great ways of the Great Xuan, the powerful family and the family that does not come out of the country, not only the Pei family, why did he attack the Pei family first?
Zheng Chao replied: "The Pei family seems to have a close relationship with the Ning family in Beizhou, and I heard that the children of the Ning family are secretly protected by the Pei family. Someone stabbed this matter in front of Imajo. ”
"Anyone?" Zheng Ren chewed on these two words.
Zheng Chao's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he lowered his voice: "Father, I heard that it was the children of that family who suggested to Jinshang. ”
Zheng Chao's lips twitched, and he said two words almost inaudibly.
Hearing these two words, Zheng Ren's face changed slightly, and he immediately asked, "Is this really true?"
This matter was revealed by Xie Lishi. The reason why the child wanted to Xie Li came to Hedong was also based on something. Zheng Chao replied.
Xie Lishi was mentioned as the history of Hedong Province Observation half a year ago, and he has not visited Pei's house until now, which fully explains the problem.
Zheng Ren's tightly gathered brows gradually dispersed, but his words were still quite cautious: "That family also has a lot of friendship with the Pei family, how can they make a move on the Pei family?"
Zheng Chao couldn't figure this out.
"If that family really makes a move, then what you plan is not impossible to succeed. Let's see. Zheng Ren said.
Zheng Chao lowered his head slightly, and pleaded: "Father, the day of the order of the officials should be before September. Please also ask the father to help the child!"
Although Zheng Ren did not serve in the court, he had worked hard in Wenzhou for many years, and he also had a lot of power, Zheng Chao knew that if he wanted to succeed, he had to rely on Zheng Ren's help.
When he walked out of Rongshou Courtyard, Zheng Chao smiled slightly, and he looked even more elegant and calm.
He is different from the Xie family, his eyes are not in the inner house, what he wants to do is a big thing. As long as he uses the affairs of the Ning family to get results and satisfy Jinshang and that family, he has to deal with the pair of sisters and brothers and the old pious woman of the Zhang family, which is just a matter of waving his hands.
Still, he couldn't help but glance gloomily in the southwest direction.
Seven years ago, Zhang's had the support of the Ning family, he couldn't move; three years ago, Zhang's was smart and rushed into the Buddhist hall to take refuge, and now, since Zhang's left the Buddhist hall, he wants to let this old woman taste the bitterness of his mother's mother!
......
......
In the past few days, there has been a lot of noise in the Yongning Marquis Mansion, which is that the people are cleaning up the idle chapter courtyard so that the old lady can live.
According to the instructions of the Hou Ye, the subordinates tidied up the inside and outside of the Xianzhang Courtyard, so as to make the old lady live comfortably and at ease.
As for the old objects in the Xianzhang Courtyard, all of them have been moved to the Fuzhong Warehouse.
Watching the pieces of Huanghuali made of household goods move out of Xianzhang Courtyard, the people with smart eyes looked out of the doorway.
These Huanghuali family treasures were the dowry prepared by Chengxingbo Mansion for the old lady back then. Dare to love, this is not to clean up the old lady's residence, but to empty the old lady's things!
It seems that the Hou Ye still doesn't want to see the old lady, and the second lady is still in charge of the house!
Especially the subordinates led by Yun Niang, their heads were slightly raised, and they squeezed Mother Zhang and the others with words without yin or yang.
Zhang's mother is Zhang's housekeeper's mother, she obeyed Zhang's instructions and came to Xianzhangyuan to check the situation.
Listening to these squeezes, Zhang's mother's face did not move, but the two maids Peitong and Yingzhen were worried and angry, but they didn't dare to say more under Zhang's mother's eyes.
When they went to Nagamiin, they couldn't hide their faces.
Zhang was in Changjian Courtyard at this time, and after listening to the indignation of the maids, he asked Zheng Heng: "Sister Heng, what do you think?"
"Those belongings are just stored in another place, and they are also moved to Xianzhang Courtyard, which is good. Zheng Heng replied.
It's just something outside the body, and the mourning family has never cared about it, what else can you think?
Zhang Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a "haha" smile: "It's still our Sister Heng'er who is right, just change the place to collect it, don't think too much." ”
Zhang's mother just smiled lightly, Pei Tong and Ying Zhen were puzzled, but they still nodded.
Pei Tong is the maid next to Zhang's side, and Zheng Heng can't discipline her, so she glanced at Ying Zhen.
Then I noticed that the maid had cowered a little. - I'm afraid.
Looking at it like this, Zheng Heng had a smile in his eyes.
Which of the palace maids and aunts she met in the palace was not clear and flexible? Especially the clouds around her, they were the best of the best. Speaking of which, a person like Yingzhen who writes everything on her face, she really doesn't see much in the palace.
Such a person has already become the flower fertilizer of the imperial garden in front of the mourning family.
So, it's interesting. This Yingzhen, if he enters the palace, how many days can he live?
Ying Zhen felt that her throat was a little dry, she was so afraid of the girl that she insisted on not spitting out a word.
"However, the second lady is in charge of the treasury in the house......" Pei Tong said worriedly, the meaning was already obvious.
She was originally a fire maid in the kitchen, and she went to the Buddhist hall to serve three years ago before she became Zhang's maid.
Zhang just smiled and said, "It's nothing, money is something outside the body, these are not important." ”
Although he said with a smile, there was still a trace of loneliness in Zhang's voice.
Those Huanghuali family treasures were carefully built for her by her parents and brothers, and she cherished them very much in her early years, and even moved to Rongshou Temple, she was reluctant to take them with her.
Eishouin is what she hates, and how can the objects that carry the care of her parents and brothers enter the place she hates?
After many years, she no longer cares about these external objects. It's just that through this, she always remembers the guilty look in her father's eyes before he died. Her father was guilty of choosing the wrong person for her.
But at that time, who could have predicted what would happen in the future? Being able to get a good family was originally a matter of luck. The choice is not wrong or right, and Zhang has long been mindful of these.
What she cares about is the juniors of Zheng Heng and Zheng Shi.
Thinking so, the Zhang family waved his hand at Zhang's mother and the others, signaling them all to retreat. At this time, she had something to say to Zheng Heng.
"Sister Heng, you have now become filial piety and entered the Yudong School Palace. In the future, you will have to walk around inside and outside the house. There are some things that my grandmother has to tell you. Zhang said this, and his face straightened.
"Grandmother, please. Zheng Heng said this, and his face was straightened.
Zhang is so serious and cautious, what do you want to say to her?
"Your mother...... He died a terrible death. I'm afraid that the people who hurt your mother will not let your brother and sister go. I'm just afraid that someone will find out about the Ning family, and it will harm you......" Zhang said.
After leaving the Buddhist hall, he will encounter all kinds of things, and Zhang is confident to deal with them. But when it comes to the Ning family, she really has no way at all, otherwise she wouldn't have taken refuge three years ago.
This was what she was most worried about, and Zheng Heng was too young to understand these changes in the past, so she had to be cautious about reminding her.
Zheng Heng was a little surprised, she thought that the Zhang family would tell her the secrets of the Yongning Hou Mansion, and she still thought that she would listen to it.
Unexpectedly, it was something related to the Ning family. Then it's different......
After thinking about it for a few days, she knew that the Ning family had died too coincidentally. Such a coincidence will not be determined by heaven, it can only be artificial.
Ning's death, in the final analysis, is related to the loss of power of the Ning family in Beizhou. Back then, the Ning family tried their best to prevent the emperor from sending troops to Beining, and in the emperor's opinion, they were on the side of the Empress Dowager Liping.
"The mourning family didn't expect the emperor to be so ruthless, it seems that the emperor really hates the mourning family. Zheng Heng thought in his heart.
After she was in the sky, the emperor had already attacked the Ning family. Dissatisfaction with the Ning family is secondary, mainly because the Ning family is a person in the army, and the emperor urgently needs to kill the Ning family to establish his authority and deter others.
The Ning clan of the Yongning Marquis Mansion was only implicated by this, and he was the least important and most innocent person......
It's just that there's nothing to say at this point. The only way to let the dead rest in peace is to give them justice and let the truth be revealed.
These are not in a hurry.
However, she was surprised by Zhang's suggestion. Zhang specially said these words to her, what news must have been known, what was it?
She thought about it for a while, and then asked directly, "Grandmother, you specially reminded me, did you hear something?"
"......" Zhang was dumbfounded, and then nodded.
