The next day, Wei Mingxu and Lin Zhixuan had breakfast, saying that they were busy with things in the past few days, and they didn't come back for lunch and dinner. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Zhixuan nodded in response and sent him out. recruited Du Qin.
Du Qin replied to the facts: "Cai Ge's old wife Cao, his father once worshiped Jiangning weaving, Yanping passed away in 12 years, the first emperor rewarded the Cao family, Jiangning weaving was succeeded by his eldest son Cao Ke, the Cao family has many children, although it is not as good as the Jinling royal family, but also with the Jinling royal family, Suzhou weavers are in contact with each other, and the Cao family is different from the Wang family, the Jinling royal family sticks to Jinling, only Wang Jingsheng entered Beijing and entered the dynasty to do the business of dedication. And most of the Cao family and the dignitaries in Beijing are in-laws.
It is made in Suzhou and woven in Hangzhou, but Jiangning weaving has been passed down from generation to generation by the Cao family. Cai Ge Lao gave birth to Concubine Cai when he was in Yangzhou when he was serving as the two Huaiyan Governors, because Cai Ge Lao's official position changed frequently at that time, and he took his wife and children to take office without anyone to take care of him, and Gu Cai Concubine was sent back to Jinling Cao's house by Mrs. Cai when she was two years old.
At that time, Concubine Cai and the eldest daughter, the second daughter, and the third daughter of the second master of the Cao family, who are now in the deputy envoy of the Salt Transport Department of the capital, the two daughters of the fourth master of the Cao family in the prefect of Yangzhou, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family's family in the Ministry of Works, the third daughter of the Shen family's family in the left capital of the Imperial Palace, several young ladies of the official eunuch family who are in-laws with the Cao family, and the little third master of the Feng family, who is now the governor of Liangjiang, and the fifth master of the Jin family, the political envoy of Jiangnan, grew up together. ”
Du Qin said extremely trivial, Lin Zhixuan listened with a frown, and did not hear anything wrong, until the Jin family, the political envoy of Jiangnan.
The old lady of the Xie family, Xie Bingchu's wife is surnamed Jin, and her father's official worship is the political envoy of Jiangnan, and the position of high power is very high, and the political envoy is high-powered, not only can undertake the government affairs of the higher levels, and the decrees are announced to the governments, departments, prefectures, and counties. Supervise its implementation. It can also manage subordinate officials, issue salaries, evaluate political performance, control financial endowments, and be responsible for collecting taxes from all parts of the province and responsible for fiscal revenue and expenditure. Statistics of household registration, tax service, number of people, number of fields and other civil affairs in each province of the province. And was in charge of Binxing for three years, and promoted the examination. The position is high and powerful, and it is very prosperous.
The little emperor Wei Yanxian was already an adult at that time, and he was afraid that the Xie family was powerful, Jiangnan and the Jin family were at odds with each other, and the military power was in the Xie family, and the little emperor found out Xie Wenjia's life experience, Xie Wenjia was not the biological daughter of the Xie family, and the Xie family was not Wei Yanxian's real foreign family.
The military power is in the hands of the Xie family, and in order to regain the military power, Wei Yanxian raided the Jin family in advance with greed for ink, and used this incident as a guide to gradually investigate the Xie family, which led to the subsequent disaster of annihilation.
At that time, the old lady of the Xie family had passed away for many years, and she couldn't see the rise and fall of her mother's family, but Lin Zhixuan couldn't help but remember the Jin family.
"Why did the fifth master of the Jin family grow up in the Cao family?"
Du Qin is Su Yu's subordinate, although he is not as good as Su Yu, he also has eight points, since he personally went to check, it is naturally not leaky, no matter what Lin Zhixuan asks, he must be able to answer.
"The old lady of the second room of the Cao family is the eldest sister of the eldest master of the Jin family, the heirs of the Jin family are prosperous, but the second room of the Cao family has only two daughters, and there are no heirs, the fifth master of the Jin family has been the Cao family since he was a child and the old lady likes it, so he raised it under his knees, although he did not pass it, but lived in the Cao family, and did not return to the Jin family until he married his wife. ”
Lin Zhixuan vaguely heard some doorways, and said, "What about this Jin Wuye and Concubine Cai?"
Du Qin never thought that Lin Zhixuan would ask so bluntly, after all, he was talking about Wei Mingxu's side concubine, Du Qin had to consider his words, hesitated slightly, and then said: "The two grew up together. It's just that in the Jinling family circle, Concubine Cai seems to be quite famous, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, not only proficient in everything, but even outstanding, and there are also poetry collections circulated among the ladies of the family, and there are paintings out. Many of these were passed down by Jin Wuye. ”
Lin Zhixuan said solemnly: "What is the position of this Fifth Master Jin, and where is he now?"
Du Qin bowed and said: "After Concubine Cai returned to Beijing, Jin Wuye entered Beijing to take the exam the following year, and won the first place in one fell swoop, but after Concubine Cai married the prince as a concubine, he abandoned literature and martial arts, and went to the door of the Xie family to enter the recruitment envoy, and became a deputy envoy of the sixth grade.
This time, the Mongolian army pressed the border, when the emperor transferred soldiers and horses, the fifth master of the Jin family was also among them, all the way with Xie Hou Ye to fight, the battle was impressive, if he could come back, a deputy general was indispensable, but unfortunately two months ago, in the battle of sudden loss, unfortunately seriously injured, and died in a few days later. Hou Ye Xie had already brought Jin Wuye's body back to the capital. ”
Lin Zhixuan's thoughts were tumbling in her heart, Mu Huasheng! You are really very capable, Mama Feng is dead, but your bureau can still allow Meng Zegui to instruct Wei Zhehuai to poison himself. Now, I don't know the life and death of the fallen deep palace, but I can still bring the Xie family and Concubine Cai together.
Lin Zhixuan said to Qiu Ju outside: "You go and call Liu Yi." ”
Qiu Ju responded and sent her daughter-in-law in the courtyard.
Liu Yi came over after a while, and Lin Zhixuan asked if Concubine Cai had had any dealings with the Xie family these days.
Liu Yi pondered for a moment before bowing down and saying, "Naturally, there are some contacts." Now the affairs of the house are handed over to Concubine Cai, and the Marquis Xie returns to Beijing, and the princess is pregnant, and it is impossible for the Xie family not to come over with a gift. ”
Lin Zhixuan thought for a long time before saying, "You guys should retreat first." ”
The talisman in Xie Bingchu's hand refused to be handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court rewarded Xie Bingchu with a reward, but Xie Bingchu did not receive the order to thank him, but only refused to show up. He only said that he was sick and refused to go out to receive orders, nor did he go to the court to accept rewards. Apparently he wasn't happy with the reward he was giving now, he wanted more.
Wei Mingxu and Wei Yingxiang discussed that since the Northwest Army returned to the Dynasty, they should also take over the wind and wash the dust for Xie Bingchu, and wanted to put on a Hongmen banquet to suppress him with momentum.
Xie Bingchu naturally knew that the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for him, Wei Mingxu and others could use various methods to break through, and he dared to resist the decree and disrespect, because he was the emperor's maternal grandfather, but the generals under his command were not able to withstand the coercion and temptation of Wei Mingxu and Wei Yingxiang.
Wei Mingxu in the name of Wei Yanxian, put a dust washing banquet on meritorious deeds, banquet to the soldiers who came back from the northwest, accompanied by the royal family relatives and courtiers above the second grade, the banquet was placed in the Baohe Palace, this is also the first time after the death of the emperor, the first banquet in the palace, although it is necessary to ban ceremonial music for three years, but the banquet, more than March, less than January, there are no certain rules, and it is just to see the mood of the new emperor in ancient times.
