39: There must be an inside story
Zhao Liang and the others led Xiaoya to add new clothes, and found an inn to settle down, so Wei Ming asked him to find out the news by himself, and then asked Xiao Er to prepare hot water, freshen up and dress up Xiaoya, order a few dishes, and gather in Zhao Liang's slightly larger room.
Rong Jiang felt that the name Xiaoya was too ugly, so he took the word "Yijun" as a name, but the little girl was very ambitious, because the original name was given by her parents, she would never lose it, Zhao Liang smiled and listened to it, and then gave Rong Jiang a compromise and kept Xiaoya as a nickname.
After eating, Rong Jiang sent the little girl back to the house to rest, and he was stabbed on the Taishi chair in Zhao Liang's house. After getting along with Zhao Liang in the past few days, she only felt more familiar, she knew that Zhao Liang was a gentleman, and she respected the Rong family, and she believed a little more in what her grandfather said that day, "the great talent of the British king's country", so she also had the heart to make friends with him.
To say that Rong Jiang is actually very strange, she is both above the top but sincere, in the officialdom but can not learn the way of the left and right, when she was in the capital, she had trouble with Cao Bin, with Zhang Wei, and talked about Guangyuan Taiji Palace, in the past, when she was in Jiangbei, she did not interact with the civil officials of the state capital. But she can carry a country girl from a poor background with her, and she can also have no rules in front of royal relatives and magnates like Zhao Liang.
Zhao Liang saw her leaning on the back of the chair, very unsitting, a pair of embroidered shoes were exposed, the skirt was not covered at all, just glanced at it and opened her eyes, and asked a little embarrassedly: "The ancients said that men and women are seven years old and have different seats, I can understand that your identity is different, but you are a girl's family, and you don't even know how to hide the embroidered shoes, if you let your grandmother know" After a pause, he raised his eyes to look at Rong Jiang, and then did not say any more.
He thought that Rong Jiang should sit upright immediately, and quickly tidied up the hem, but he didn't want Rong Jiang to laugh, and deliberately shook his toes at him, only to hear her speak: "When I eat meat and drink wine with all the soldiers in the army, can I still care about any different seats, what embroidered shoes?" ”
It was Zhao Liang who suddenly realized, no wonder he always felt that Rong Jiang didn't pay much attention to the defense of men and women, it turned out that this girl was mixed in the men's pile all day long, and they were all good sons who could fight and kill, looking at her like this, she probably didn't treat herself as a noble girl of the family, Zhao Liang couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about it, and didn't speak again.
After a long while, it was Rong Jiang who spoke first: "Actually, I have something I want to talk to His Highness." Seeing Zhao Liang raise his eyebrows and look at her, he said, "When the matchmaker talked about the outsider in the county here, I didn't think much about it for a while, and then I remembered someone." ”
"Who?" Zhao Liang heard that she was down to business, so he thought deeply and listened carefully.
Rong Jiang stretched out his hand to touch the teacup, took it up and took a sip of tea, his body still didn't sit upright, and he looked at Zhao Liang with drooping eyelids: "Former soldier Wailang, Jiang Rongzheng." ”
She threw out a name, and Zhao Liang twisted her eyebrows and thought deeply. He vaguely remembered Jiang Rongzheng, but his impression was really not deep. This person gradually climbed to the throne after Zhao Heng Yuji, and when he was in charge of the country, there was no such person in Yecheng. It should be in the third year of Zhao Heng's reign, he sat firmly in the position of a member of the military department, but he has not been promoted again.
This is also understandable, entering the department is a radish and a pit, if you want to climb up, you have to squeeze others out, but to squeeze out a department member, where is it so easy. But later, when Jiang Rongzheng was dismissed from office and went to the court in the sixth year of Tai'an, at that time because he was just a small person, Zhao Liang didn't care about this matter, and now he heard Rong Jiang suddenly talk about this person, and he remembered this matter.
He guessed that Rong Jiang should have something to say, so he didn't pick it up, just looked at her blindly.
Rong Jiang really opened his mouth again: "In the sixth year of Tai'an, Zhang Wei participated in his vain discussion of the prince, and led a cadre of the military department to testify in the palace. Jiang Rongzheng is a head, Zhang Wei joined him, and he recognized it as a palace. Back then, it was my second uncle who tried to protect him, and His Majesty only dismissed him. ”
"Your second uncle?" Zhao Liang knew that Rong Huai was the most tactful person, and he always adhered to the purpose of not offending all parties and doing his own things steadily.
Rong Jiang nodded: "Yes, it's my second uncle." Later, I heard him say that the reason why he tried to protect Jiang Rongzheng was because he felt sorry for him, and second, he couldn't look down on Zhang Wei. She sighed and explained to Zhao Liang in a flat voice, "Your Highness may know that when my uncle impeached Tan Guangyuan, he was married to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Zhang Wei protects his shortcomings, and he doesn't stumble, but he is something, so naturally he can't move my two uncles," she said proudly, and Zhao Liang clearly saw that she was a little disdainful between her eyebrows, so she continued, "Jiang Rong is upright, and he has written to His Majesty more than once, saying that Zhang Wei borrowed the convenience of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the court to fight against the party and form a party for personal gain, so Zhang Wei was ruthless to treat him. My second uncle can't see it, and he is Jiang Rongzheng's boss, so he can protect him. ”
"He dares to impeach Zhang Wei?" Zhao Liang was stunned and asked, and then saw Rong Jiang nodding.
I'm afraid that there is still an inside story in this matter, if the outsider that the matchmaker said is Jiang Rongzheng, then what caused this righteous person who dared to impeach the Son of Heaven and his close ministers to behave like this in Suixian?
He turned his head to look at Rong Jiang: "Why do you think of him?" He went to the court in Tai'an for six years, have you seen him in Jiangbei? ”
Rong Jiang shook his head and bit his lip lightly: "Your Highness doesn't know?" When I was in Jiangbei, I never interacted with the Chinese officials of the state capital, and when I had nothing to do, I practiced soldiers and horses in the camp, and there was nothing to talk about with them. She vaguely saw Zhao Liang's eyebrows together, but soon regained her stretch, so she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, and looked at Zhao Liang carefully, and felt that she was dazzled for a while, so she picked up the previous words, "I just heard from my second uncle that Jiang Rongzheng's hometown is in Suixian, Pu'an Prefecture, and he walked out from here." So today, the matchmaker said that the son of the outsider won the champion, and he rebuilt the ancestral hall, I thought about it for a while, and then I thought of him. ”
Zhao Liang was about to ask something more, but Wei Ming outside had already knocked on the door and entered, and when he saw Rong Jiang sitting not very upright, he was stunned, Zhao Liang clearly saw his figure paused, and his face was a little embarrassed, so he coughed lightly and asked him, "Is there any news?" ”
Rong Jiang didn't seem to know it, and still shook her toes to look at Wei Ming. Wei Ming avoided looking at him, and only replied to Zhao Liang: "I inquired about it." Five streets to the west, there is a Jiang Mansion, which is the residence of Jiang Rongzheng, a former member of the military department. What the matchmaker said was him, a year ago, his son won the champion, and he made a big move to rebuild the ancestral hall. ”
"What about weekdays?" Zhao Liang couldn't help but ask after hearing what he said, "Is this Jiang Rongzheng a traitorous villain who is a troublemaker?" ”
Wei Ming didn't make any trouble at all as if he knew he would ask like this early on, and bowed down and replied, "He has a very good reputation here." On weekdays, they will also give porridge to those who ask for food nearby, and if they encounter a difficult family, there are also those who give silver. That's why it's weird."
"It's not surprising," before he finished speaking, Rong Jiang had already stood up and interrupted him, "If my second uncle is a traitor, I will be the first to cut him." Saying that, she went to see Zhao Liang, "I'm afraid that I have to go to Jiang's mansion, and there must be something inside." ”
