Chapter Two Thousand and Eight: Harbinger 1
Entering the second half of May, the capital is already an early summer scenery (Emperor Leng Meihuang: Chapter 1111 of the Noble Girl's Favorite Queen). Yes) ?meaning) ?thinking) ?book) ?yard)
The flowers are red and willow green, and people have also changed into light summer clothes.
And above the court, there is also a harmony.
After the people in the household department were rearranged, some officials of the Wei Zhao faction in the Ministry of Works, Officials, Rites, and Criminal Departments also resigned, and those who were dismissed were dismissed, and many positions were vacated.
There have been some job changes in the military department.
Although the positions are not high-level, there are some key departments.
are all the people who have been on top of Wei Zhao and Su Cen during the Great Purge for more than three years.
There are too many positions, and the factions of several princes are not fighting, but they are discussed in private, divided up, and then go directly from the cabinet to go through the motions.
Anyway, Chu Yu didn't have the heart to care about it now.
The people who went up to the new top and the people who arranged their confidants were naturally happy, and no one cared about those who were innocently removed or had to resign and left the capital one after another in frustration.
Since the border army was not in charge, the court felt that it was much richer (the border army needed more than 10 million taels a year), plus the spring tax came up, and there was no long-sighted (resignation and dismissal) every day to mention what to build a dam to build a disaster prevention granary and reduce taxes, and the household account was very rich.
Not only did everyone's wages be raised, but they directly embezzled two million taels from Chu Yu, and they also turned a blind eye.
Everyone is rich in their hands, and the family is also rich.
So the city of Beijing is prosperous.
Not only did all kinds of silk sell well, but jewelry also sold even better, and even more oil was used.
And after the caravan with various spices entered the capital, it set off a storm of panic buying.
The price of those spices was five times higher than in previous years, but they were sold out in two days, and those who did not grab them were depressed, and the caravan from Jiangnan also arrived.
In addition to bringing the latest silks, they also brought spices and various luxury goods from the fan.
It's really dazzling, and it's dazzling to watch.
Another wave of buying has been triggered.
In this harmonious and a little crazy atmosphere, the fast horse from Jizhou on Jingdong Road entered Beijing.
Brought bad news.
Since the early spring, there has been no rain on Jingdong Road, and most of the crops planted by melting a little snow have died under the drought for several months.
Even near the sea, the situation is not much better.
By April, several rivers were starting to break down.
But at this time, the governor of Jizhou not said that he began to prepare for disaster relief, but also sent troops down to collect taxes savagely.
Some large unscrupulous households do not care whether the tenants have food or not, and they also forcibly transfer their taxes.
Public discontent is rife, and in April, people in some places have already grabbed the granaries of large households.
However, the governor of Jizhou has not reported it secretly, but he sent people to exterminate those people as bandits.
Now, those people are not bandits, and they can only go up the mountain.
By mid-May, most of the fertile land in Jizhou must have been extinct, and those people couldn't survive anymore, so they simply gave up their fields one by one and went directly to the mountains to find bandits.
The governor of Jizhou didn't know whose idea he had heard, so he gathered 2,000 soldiers in the state and attacked the bandit village on a large scale.
As a result, all the soldiers were wiped out, and he was only left with his own head.
At this time, Jizhou couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only report to the capital quickly.
There was an uproar in the court.
In the midst of all kinds of scolding, Tie Yushi, who had been mentioning that he wanted to help the spring drought on Jingdong Road, stopped talking, and quietly watched those ministers go home after arguing all morning.
When entering the door, Tie Yushi asked the sedan chair to stop in front of the gate, got off the sedan chair himself, stood at the door, looked at the gate of the Dingguo Mansion diagonally opposite, and sighed softly.
Soon after Qin Mohan left the city that day, someone rushed to the mansion, saying that he was ordered to arrest people, and at that time, the entire mansion was empty, and those people acted like raiding their homes inside.
Then, the people who came out of the Gyeonggi camp went out privately, and the people from the Five Cities Terracotta Division came and arrested those people.
Then put a seal on the door of the house.
This post is more than five months.
It stands to reason that since the general is innocent, and even the imperial court has recognized the Qin family's survival, the seal on this door should be lifted and the mansion returned to others.
However, it seemed that everyone in the court had forgotten about it, and even Chu Yu didn't mention it.
Tie Yushi naturally didn't say anything.
Because, although the general is not guilty, people also say that he is not surnamed Gu, he is not the son of Gu Hekui at all, but the descendant of the Qin family.
Then, they are not the descendants of the Duke of Dingguo, how can they still occupy the title and mansion of the Duke of Dingguo?
Gu Erlang, who had five rooms in the Gu family and even sold the house, was looking for relationships everywhere, and wanted someone to bring it up, take Qin Mohan's title, and return it to them.
Even, Gu Wuye, who had never been in contact with him, visited him two months ago.
I hope he will speak up.
Righteous fart!
Tie Yushi finished looking at the gate, and then glanced at the gate of the Gu family's fifth room at the other end of the street.
With a snort, he turned around and prepared to enter the door.
I could hear the sound of horse-drawn carriages in the streets.
After a pause, he turned back again.
Three green canopy carriages were turning the street and running along the bluestone road, led by a young man on horseback.
The young man was in his early twenties, and he looked good, but unfortunately he was now covered in dust and his face was full of bitterness, and he looked much older.
Let Tie Yushi take a few more glances before he recognized it, isn't this Gu Sanlang who went to Jizhou?
Think about the people in the front court, those people shouted and asked the messenger why there were so many bandits.
(How many people must have killed 20,000 soldiers)
The messenger was forced to ask in a panic, saying that not only did Zhizhou lead troops down to arrest people and demolish houses, but the big families in Jizhou City, such as the Tong family, directly sold the children of the tenants in the family, forcing many people to death.
There were thousands of rebellious tenants under the Tong family.
Remember, this Gu Sanlang's wife is the Jizhou Tong family who married?
Shaking the beard on his lower lip, Tie Yushi entered the door leisurely, instructed his family to close the door, and paced to the backyard.
As soon as he entered the door of the main courtyard, his wife greeted him, waved everyone away, helped him into the main house, and said in a low voice: "Yuzhen has sent a letter." ”
Tie Yushi's eyebrows furrowed.
Madam looked outside, lowered her voice and said, "I'll look first, Yuzhen said that they are very good in Qinzhou, and now they are mainly responsible for legal matters, and they are by Lord Wei's side." ”
Tie Yushi raised his eyebrows again.
Madame Tie pushed him very depressed and said, "You are a dead man, and you don't make it clear to me, let me bear the heart for so long!" ”
The Tie family is also a scholarly heirloom, although the ancestors are not very official, but the style is good.
The ancestors of the family said that they could marry concubines only when they were over thirty years old and had no children.
However, Mrs. Tie was angry, and within five years of passing the door, she gave birth to three sons.
Therefore, the Tie family has no concubines.
The relationship between husband and wife is also excellent.
Moreover, Tie Yushi is upright but not pedantic, even some things outside, he will also talk to her.
However, in the winter of last year, Tie Yushi suddenly called his third son to take his daughter-in-law and leave Beijing.
Still gone.
There has been no news for months.
She asked, Tie Yushi just smiled and didn't say anything, making her anxious!
Actually...... It's to go to Qinzhou!
