Chapter 4: False alarm
With the handover of Chongbei and the father and son, next, the former left minister Lan Mingdong, who was asked by the first emperor to recall the new emperor to Beijing, was continued to be retained as the Yin of Pingjing Mansion by Emperor Zhengqing, which caused much less fluctuation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After all, today's big news, which is full of weight, is coming one after another, and most people haven't come back to taste it in their hearts, and they haven't digested it yet.
However, I think Emperor Zhengqing still looks at the face of the first emperor, although this person was not transferred back to the capital, but he raised Lan Mingdong's official rank up to one level, and served as the official position of Zheng Sanpin Mansion Yin, and ate the Yu Lu of the Zheng Erpin Minister, looking at the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, such examples are afraid that there are not many such examples.
Yuan Run, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, was sent to Xijing and became the first head of the Zhou Water Canal, and the small canal supervisor set up in order to perfunctory the first emperor has officially become the emperor's approval, the river yamen of the three products, and it is directly under the control of the emperor, and has the right to directly play the affairs of the emperor, and does not have to obey the orders of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion and the Yin Yamen, which is considered to be completely divided.
The reasons for this are the reasons why the saint attaches great importance to the Great Zhou Canal, and there are also the plans to prevent problems before they happen, and they do not want this important department to fall into the pocket of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
And Yuan Run's vacant position as the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry was finally replaced by Wang Xuantong in the Ministry of Industry, such an exceptional promotion, I don't know how many people were red-eyed, but when they figured out that this newly baked second-class member was the cousin of Princess Cheng's relatives, one and two of them closed their mouths knowingly.
Again, Guo Yifan, the head of the household, took the initiative to tell the old, and Peng Xuehai, the left attendant of the household department, took a step forward logically, this is the protΓ©gΓ© of Lord Guo, so he listened to the words of the top boss the most, this time he can become a book, it is really thanks to the old boss who retreated bravely and vigorously promoted him in front of the saint.
The remaining civil and military officials of the third and fourth grades have also been replaced by more than a dozen, in general, Emperor Zhengqing is not a one-man promotion of his own people, neutral officials have also promoted a lot, and King Cheng is even more shortage, only King Lu's side, the most degraded officials are not to say, and none of them have been promoted.
It can be seen that the charm of the word 'balance', the new emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who has just ascended the throne as the emperor, still grasps it very exquisitely.
Liu Jianzheng is already satisfied with the fulfillment of his wishes, and he is not very concerned about what kind of turmoil will be in the court next.
For Liu Jianzheng, who is already known as the old marquis, he is already an old man who has just retired from cultivation, unless someone in Ming'er does not open his eyes and leads the troops to rebel and seek bad luck, then the emperor will order him to put on armor and go into battle, and the rest is really a leisure state that doesn't care about everything.
Liu Jianzheng is a person who is thick on the outside and fine on the inside, he told Emperor Zhengqing at that time that he was old and asked his son to go to work, but he was not stupid, and directly said that he was going to Pingjing to visit his daughter and son-in-law.
The old man played a little trick very skillfully, "It's really strange that the old minister is so easy to be idle and unload the burden on his shoulders, so I thought, in the rest of the time, take the old wife to go outside for a walk, take a turn, and our old couple will also go to see the good mountains and rivers of my Dazhou." β
These words carry three points of satisfaction, but also imply three points of loss, and then three points of sudden brightness and a sense of prosperity, but it is a perfect interpretation of the tangled mood of an old man who has lost his allegiance and is full of sadness.
Emperor Zhengqing who saw it was also concerned, the monarch and the ministers couldn't help but cry relatively, and there was a channel for catharsis to vent their feelings, and our young saint also felt a lot of joy in his heart, and finally not only agreed to Liu Jianzheng's old age, but even gave a special imperial doctor to Chongbei Houfu, saying that when he went out, he would bring an imperial doctor, at least he didn't have to worry about getting sick.
On the main hall, Zhang Qingcheng is still reading the holy decree unhurriedly, appointing, dismissing officials, going to prison, and returning to his hometown, the types are really complete.
Liu Jianzheng's eyes drooped, looking at the bright gold brick ground in front of him, and secretly thought, "The first emperor died, and his son-in-law who was pulled up by the first emperor must be sad. β
Liu Jianzheng is also a clear door in his heart, and the royal doctor of Wang Binwang given to him by the saint is ostensibly Emperor Zhengqing's sympathy for him and his old wife, afraid that their husband and wife will go out, in case of any illness, they can be treated in time, and they are really a benevolent superior.
But in fact?
Imperial Doctor Wang is monitoring his Liu Jianzheng's eyeliner, and he has crossed the Ming Road, traveling along the way, where he went, and who he had dealings with, these things will be told to the top of the world.
"It looks like I'm really going out for a tour." Liu Jianzheng sighed silently in his heart, "This is the emperor's mind, no matter how loyal you are, you still have to be guarded against." β
For the new emperor, he can't say that he is disappointed, but the surge of powerlessness in his heart still makes this conscientious old man who has dedicated most of his life to the Great Zhou Dynasty a little depressed and sentimental.
In the end, Liu Jianzheng still made a decision, so he first took his wife to Nanhu City to see his granddaughter and the old house of the Liu family, and after hovering there for several months, he took a boat down to the south of the Yangtze River to the south to see the picturesque landscape.
After such a big circle, in the end, because of the letter that received a letter from his daughter and granddaughter begging for a meeting, he took a detour to visit relatives in Pingjing to send him a marriage, and it would not be too surprising to think about it.
With a plan, implement it in the shortest possible time.
Liu Jian is half a horse, the most important thing is to pay attention to efficiency, no, since that day, he began to let his old wife prepare to pack, but after four or five days, it has been sorted out and can be set off.
Before leaving, the two sons and grandsons who postponed the one-year postponement and then set off to Pingjing called them to the front, and they gave instructions for a long time, and even the second master Lan wrote a letter in person to inform them, so he took the cage and the servants, and Shi Shiran went to the north.
After reading the letter, she knew that her parents would come to Pingjing in a year, and she was also excited to do the math, but she hadn't seen her parents for two years.
I saw that Mrs. Lan read the letter several times very carefully, and then reluctantly folded it and put it in the envelope.
Then he put his hands together and silently prayed in his heart, hoping that the Bodhisattva in heaven could bless his parents and let the two old people be safe and sound along the way.
After a while, Doctor Lan opened his eyes, and then instructed Da Liu's mother, "Hurry up and let people go to Anfu Temple, tell the abbot master, and ask him to leave a guest house for our family, I will go to the temple tomorrow to do a ritual, and I can ask my parents for peace and happiness." β
When Lan Jiayin came to ask for peace, the people who went to Anfu Temple had been gone for more than half an hour.
After reading the letter, Lan Jiayin was filled with joy and sorrow in her heart, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "This is really good, you don't know, my daughter misses her grandfather and grandmother very much, and she will dream of them once in a while." β
"If we can really meet, let my daughter eat fast for a year, I am also willing, but the two old people want to go to see Cousin Shan first, and then they will go to Jiangnan to play, and when we are here, it will be a year at the earliest."
"Three hundred and sixty-five days, it's really a long time!"
Mrs. Lan is also anxious, but she is always a mother, how can she be more fragile than a child?
At the moment, it is indispensable to coax her daughter softly for a while.
Then he discussed with Lan Jiayin, "Qinqing, you have also seen it, your grandfather's letter clearly states, let your brother return to Beijing, he will participate in the imperial examination next year, and his husband will have to tutor him well this year, and the return date really can't be delayed any longer." β
"My mother thought about it, so let Wanwan go back to Beijing with him, although Lord Hu didn't say it, but our two families have already decided to be married, so it's not good to let Wanwan follow us anymore."
"Let her go back to Beijing to prepare for marriage, after you get married, your father and I are afraid that we will also return to Beijing, and when the time comes, we will just finish the marriage for them, and the three of you sisters and brothers will be married, and your father and I will be relieved."
Lan Hongxu's marriage has already been done by Second Mrs. Lan and Old Mrs. Liu, no matter what you say this time, Mrs. Lan has to handle the marriage of her youngest son herself, so it can be regarded as making up for her regrets.
When Lan Jiayin heard this, her mood was even lower, "Alas, I originally thought that I could stay Wanwan for another year, but now it seems that I can't do it, thinking that if she leaves, I will be the only one left, it's really weird and boring." β
Seeing that she was sad, Mrs. Lan hurriedly comforted: "She is always engaged to your brother, and she doesn't have to say that she lives in her mother-in-law's house before she has passed the door, even if your Uncle Hu didn't send someone to pick her up and take her back to Beijing to prepare for marriage, but which stepmother of hers can be a fuel-efficient lamp?" β
"My father and I have also discussed it again and again, and I think it's better not to be honest, you can't just hand over the handle for nothing, so that people can slander Wanwan's reputation, right?"
"But we can't rest assured that she will return to Beijing alone, but fortunately, isn't your brother going back to Beijing to prepare for the exam?"
"When the two of them go back to Beijing together, I can rest assured."
"When do you want them to leave?" When Lan Jiayin said this, she couldn't help but complain, "Do grandfathers and grandmothers have to go around in such a big circle?" β
"If they come now, I can accompany my grandmother to Anfu Temple to see the golden osmanthus in the autumn."
Mrs. Lan folded up the letter that Lan Jiayin had read, thought about it and said, "There is no elder this time, so if you don't worry about it, you must first discuss with the people of the dart bureau and find a few good dart masters to escort them all the way!" β
"As for your grandfather, I think about it, the two of them are also old, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have a chance to travel like this time, so let them have a good time."
"It's just that I, who is a daughter, can't be by my side, it's really unfilial."
Lan Jiayin felt sorry for her mother, hurried over, wiped her mother's tears, and coaxed her mother to be happy, but she left her unhappiness behind.
Seeing that she was about to coax people and didn't know what she thought of, Mrs. Lan suddenly took a picture of the case, and said angrily: "And this kid Ade, I'm really angry and I have a headache!" β
"I used to look at him as a good boy, well-behaved and sensible, filial piety and etiquette, why is he running away now?"
"It's not over to go to Rong Di's side to risk his life, this time I followed that old man Peng and ran to the Western Regions!"
"Don't you know, the letter that Princess Jinyang sent me last time was written more than 20 pages, and her tears can still be seen on the letter!"
"Originally, you were engaged to the Mu family, and I was sorry enough for her, but now even her son can't be sent back to her, I really don't have the face to see her!"
Lin Huaide's matter, Mrs. Lan has often been talking about it recently, which will make her feel bad, and she can't help but pull it out and nag again.
Speaking of which, in fact, it is not that Lin Huaide's temperament has become wild, but that after he followed Mu Ren to Rongdi, his horizons were broadened by the vast prairie.
In addition, when I came back, I had already engaged my sweetheart to my rival, and this one was sad, so he simply decided to change his environment and a different way of living, so he exchanged all the money he earned from Rong Di for tea, silk, and porcelain, and was ready to go to the Western Regions to make a big profit!
Lin Huaide said goodbye to Lan Jiayin before leaving, in addition to complaining that Qingmei didn't give him the opportunity to be a bamboo horse, he sighed, "I didn't come out of the capital at the beginning, and I came to the past with so many people and things, and I felt that this life was like that." β
"What do you think, which side of the city do the people around me live in, intriguing for interests all day long, in order to achieve their goals, they want to fortify, do everything possible to trample the opponent under their feet, conspiracy, conspiracy, you fight for me, these are all my life."
"However, this time I followed my husband out, traveled thousands of miles, and the ups and downs along the way revealed the differences in the world, I first saw the suffering of the people, and then witnessed the cruelty of the war, thanks to your fiancΓ© who had ten thousand hearts, and then followed the caravan to the grassland."
"Qinqing, don't you know how much these have touched and changed my state of mind!"
"Have you ever seen the endless green grasslands?"
"Herds of cattle and sheep, men on horseback, women, old people and children, they can sing and dance, they will also be good to their friends, light a huge bonfire at night, reflect half of the sky, look at the stars in the sky, listen to the vicissitudes of the pastoral, drink the spicy mare's milk wine, eat fragrant roast mutton, hey, such a life, how can it be so refreshing, so casual, so fascinating?"
Lin Huaide's eloquence is very good, and the life of the prairie that is completely different from that of the Great Zhou is described very movingly, and the masters and maids in the house are all attentive and fascinated.
