Qin Bai can also understand the old wife's thoughts. In fact, he himself has always remembered his eldest son very much.

Qin Ping refused to marry again for many years, and his old father was not less anxious for his son. However, marriage is not something that parents can be anxious about. Qin Ping must be willing to be happy in order to achieve a happy marriage. Even if Qin Ping can't marry a heart-to-heart wife in the future, he must have a harmonious husband and wife, and a harmonious family is the truth of life. Since Qin Ping is full of reluctance, the twisted melon is not sweet, but it makes the eldest son troubled, and the daughter-in-law who marries in is also wronged, isn't it tiring and tiring himself?

Therefore, Qin Bai always persuaded his old wife Niu not to push his eldest son too hard. Maybe Qin Ping just hasn't reached his fate yet? Maybe he just hasn't forgotten his deceased wife? He is only in his thirties, not very old, and he can still afford to spend a few years.

The death of the eldest daughter-in-law, Guan, was indeed wronged, which made everyone feel very regretful. Qin Bai sometimes feels regretful in the dead of night, he should have paid more attention to He's words and deeds, and controlled him more strictly, so that his old wife could comfort and comfort Guan more, when Guan and his relatives met, he should arrange for someone to listen, so as to prevent the Guan family from saying too much. The two of them really took their grandson too seriously at the beginning, thinking that Qin Ping was "dead" and Qin An only had one son, so they were somewhat indulgent to the grandson's biological mother. But the grandson and the grandson's biological mother are fundamentally different things. Why did the husband and wife have to regard them as one in the first place? Obviously, the eldest granddaughter and eldest daughter-in-law were more wronged, and they really shouldn't have been immersed in the pain of "losing their son" and ignored Ho's bullying of the Guan family.

The people they had seen in the past, no matter how vicious and cruel they were, were limited, and they never thought that there would be such a poisonous woman in this world as He Shi who would put innocent people to death for a few things that were not worth mentioning?

Qin Bai sighed secretly, remembering that his eldest granddaughter Qin Hanzhen had stayed with their husband and wife in the past few years, although there was always a little laxity in the rules, and from time to time there would be inappropriate speeches, but on the whole, he was cheerful, filial and courteous, diligent and studious, and was a very good child. She obviously complained about Qin An in her heart, but she was still willing to secretly endure for the sake of their old couple, and treated Brother Qian and Hanzhu, the two children from the He family, who were also very friendly and kind, which was really rare. How can people not like such a granddaughter?

It's just the eldest son, Qin Ping......

Qin Bai really didn't know how to appease this son, he could only hope that he could gradually forget the pain caused by Guan's death in the future and open his heart to accept the newcomer. The deceased is gone, and the living will continue to live. Since his granddaughter Qin Hanzhen can do it, Qin Ping, a father, should not be compared to his daughter.

Qin Bai thought about it all night, and the next day when he was summoned by the emperor and went into the palace to chat with the emperor, he mentioned his eldest son Qin Ping, saying that his wife had been talking about Qin Ping's new official position in the future recently, and I don't know if he could be closer to home, so that the family could send him some things from time to time, take care of his daily life, and want to say goodbye to him, which is also more convenient.

The emperor smiled: "Your wife is still bent on marrying Qin Ping's daughter-in-law? Qin Ping is also true, although he treats his former wife with deep affection, but now that he has seven years, it is time to let go." He doesn't have a son yet, so he has to marry another house and have an heir. Now Hanzhen has promised Guanglu that he will get married next year, but he doesn't even have a stepmother at home to help with the marriage, and Qin An's wife is from a small family, so I don't know how your wife should worry about it. ”

Qin Bai smiled bitterly: "She is now relying on a few grandmothers to help. Although Brother An's daughter-in-law said that her family background is not obvious, her family is also a scholarly family, and she has read books for a few years and can help with it. It's just that she still has to take care of the child, and her ability to contribute is limited. Now Han Zhen helps her grandmother more by herself, and her grandmother is now only in charge of her dowry, and the family is fed, and Han Zhen and her aunt have discussed it. We sometimes talk about it in private, and we feel too wronged by our granddaughter. But her father has a temper tantrum, and we can't force him to marry again. I only hope that he can return to the capital to take up his post in the future, go home every day, and listen to his mother's persuasion a lot, maybe he will be able to change his mind. ”

The emperor laughed, sighed, and said: "Your family is really a good child, she and Guanglu have lost their mothers since they were children, and they have had a hard time, but fortunately, the two children are fighting and survived." In the future, when they become relatives, they will be able to support each other, and life will only get better and better. ”

The emperor didn't say much about Qin Ping's marriage, and even the persuasion of his parents couldn't make Qin Ping change his mind, the emperor claimed to be a good uncle, how could he force his nephew to do what he didn't want to do? But he can also have things that can help, such as Qin Ping's new official position, he can make some adjustments.

Qin Ping had done a good job in garrisoning Guangzhou, and had heard that in the past year or so, he had discovered that a Western merchant had brought a poisonous substance from overseas to Canton with the intention of selling it to his own citizens. Although the object can be used for medicinal purposes and can also play a good role, the merchant obviously did not transport this goods to Dazhao for the purpose of curing diseases and saving people. Qin Ping led his soldiers to publicly demonstrate in front of the people, so that the condemned prisoners in the prison attracted the kind of thing called "opium", and within one day, he gave his life, so that the people understood the harm of those opiums.

Although some people pointed out that the condemned prisoner died because he had taken too much of it, which is not the way it is used normally, Qin Ping also used other condemned prisoners as an example to prove that people who attract opium will become addicted, and will only smoke more and more until they die, and there is no possibility of stopping at all. The claim that smoking opium can make people fit is nonsense, but it is just a deception made up by businessmen in order to get people to buy more opium. Although opium does have medicinal uses, the dosage is very small, and it is necessary for a doctor to diagnose the pulse before determining whether it can be used. And how many patients can there be in Guangzhou that need a whole shipload of opium to save them?

Those who oppose it can no longer argue.

The prefect of Guangzhou joined forces with the garrison, and led the officers and soldiers to copy all the opium brought by the Western merchants, transported it to the sea, dug a pit, and sold it with lime. At the same time, they also found several forbidden things on the ship of the Western merchant, and severely punished the other party, the shipowner, and the shipwright, expelled all of them, and ordered them not to be allowed to enter the country again. The rest of the foreign and local merchants, including opium sellers, were also dealt with severely. From now on, only a small amount of opium will be allowed to enter the country each year for medicinal purposes. Once this number is exceeded, the people of the Guangzhou City Bosi will expel the merchants with their ships and goods, and they will not be allowed to come again in the future.

In order to be recognized by the imperial court, the prefect of Guangzhou and Qin Ping, the garrison of Guangzhou, were on the fold at the same time. The Emperor had already asked the people of the Imperial Hospital, and when he had received an affirmative answer, he approved these folds, and ordered the Ministry of Household to add a ban on opium to the relevant statutes, and strictly forbade his own nationals to grow and sell this item in the country.

The emperor was a very wise old man, and he could perceive the danger of opium from the officials' performances, and was very satisfied with the ability of the Canton magistrates to cut off the large influx of this commodity from the very beginning. He deeply felt that Qin Ping was conscientious in his garrison duties, not only capable, but also very discerning. It would be too wasteful for such talents to be placed in a place like Guangzhou far away from the center for a long time.

He was planning to transfer people to other places, originally thinking that Tianjin was good, and it happened that there was a shortage of Tianjin Wei next year, but next year, the Xuanfu Department of Xuanfu in Liaodong and Shaanxi will also be replaced. Tianjin Wei is an official position of the fourth grade, and the Xuanfu envoy is from the fourth grade, in terms of rank, Qin Ping may be more suitable for promotion to the Xuanfu envoy. The promotion of the fifth grade to the fourth grade may be okay if there is merit to support it, but if you are promoted from the fourth grade, no one can gossip. Liaodong is the territory of the Liao Wangfu where Qin Ping's son-in-law Zhao Mo was born, and Shaanxi is the place where Qin Ping grew up and stayed for many years.

The emperor was worried about where he would transfer Qin Bai next year, but now he suddenly heard his brother-in-law Qin Bai's chatter, so he hesitated again. Qin Bai and his wife are old, and they have been separated from their sons for many years, and it is normal for them to want their sons to be happy. He even had to think twice about promoting his nephew to another level, but he just transferred the junior back to the capital so that his brother-in-law could reunite with his family, so what was so difficult? He owed too much to Qin Bai, and Qin Bai had always been cautious and refused to make any requests. Now that Qin Bai and his wife only have such a small wish, how can they not satisfy him as a brother-in-law?

It's just that if there is anything lacking in the capital next year, he still has to ask the people below first. He can't just get his nephew back to the capital, he always has to give the junior a good position, and he must have the opportunity to rise in the future, otherwise wouldn't it ruin the good future of the nephew?

The emperor showed a gentle smile, chatted with Qin Ping for a while, and then let him go home from the palace, planning to surprise his brother-in-law when there was good news.

It's just that the emperor replied to the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, but he didn't find any suitable official vacancies, which could be vacated next year. There is a good messenger in the civil service, but it is estimated that it is not suitable for Qin Ping. Although Qin Ping had a very knowledgeable father, he entered the army at a young age, and he did not calm down to study for a few years at all, and it is estimated that he is a little more knowledgeable than ordinary army officers and soldiers, barely enough to be a Confucian general. If he really let him abandon martial arts and follow literature, he may not be able to do it, and he lacks relevant qualifications, so he is afraid that he will be in an embarrassing situation among his colleagues.

The emperor was a little troubled, so he went to discuss it with the crown prince. Except for the crown prince, he could not find anyone else to discuss such family affairs.

Unexpectedly, the prince gave him a surprise: "There is no suitable shortage next year, so what about this year?" I remember hearing Guanglu mention it a few days ago, saying that I heard from the prince of Yunyang Hou that there is a commander over there in the city guard The old father is seriously ill, and I am afraid that it will not work, and his brother is also in the city guard to do calmdown, and the brothers may have to worry about both at the end of the year at the earliest, and at the latest at the beginning of next year, both positions are vacant, and no one will be on top for a while. These two positions, one from the fifth rank and the other from the fourth rank, are both Beijing officials, no matter which one they are, they can be given to Cousin Ping, right? It's just that if he can't wait for his term of office to expire, these two vacancies will have to be replaced, so why don't you call him back to Beijing in advance?"

The Emperor's eyes lit up.
