Chapter 113: Kindness
Since the acting king returned to Beijing, Friday, who has been the deputy commander of the palace, has not given up on himself as before, but he has not fulfilled his loyalty. , the latest chapter of the visit wรจn:. Except for the first day when he overturned a group of guards who were not noses and eyes that were not noses and eyes, and let these newcomers lie on the 'bed' for more than half a month, his life was extremely leisurely.
Because of this, after hearing that Qin Wan wanted to see him, Friday chuckled in his heart, and the secret trouble came.
He grew up in the top powerful family in Great Xia, and he was the object of his family's hard work, even if he sank in the sludge for thirty years, he still had a keen sense of smell, and naturally understood that the wind direction in Chang'an was about to change.
How tragic the battle for the storage position was, he could see it clearly thirty years ago, but no matter how reluctant he was, the saint was as kind to him as a mountain. The things entrusted by the saint, he naturally did not fail to fulfill the reason, not to mention...... Thinking of the past, Friday shook his head, and rarely changed into clean, seventy percent new clothes, and took care of them slightly, before entering the main hall under the guidance of the 'woman'.
Qin Wan was at the top, and when he saw that after returning to Chang'an on Friday, his beard still covered most of his face, making people unable to see his true face, so he felt that his judgment was not ten percent accurate, but it was seven or eight points. So she looked at Friday and said very simply, "Have you heard about what happened last night?" โ
Knowing that Qin Wan was smart, and knowing how powerful Pei Xi's eyes were, when he heard what Qin Wan had said, his heart tightened, but he pretended to be stupid: "The lowly duty only knows that the saint ordered someone to seal the 'gate' of the Fang City and the palace, and the sixteen guards worked all night, looking at the bright lights outside, people coming and going, and the lowly post is really panicking." โ
These words were decent, there was nothing wrong with it, Qin Wan and Pei Xi 'exchanged' a look, the former casually dialed the tea soup with the tea lid, and said lightly: "There are many things in Beijing, the weather is hot again, and Aya 'wants' to go to the Huangzhuang to escape the heat." However, there are many thieves these days, all of them are bold, and if no one patrols all night, my heart will not be able to settle down. Zhou Dianjun and I have known each other for ten years, and if we are credible people, this matter will be exhausted. โ
On Friday, I knew that it would definitely not be a good thing to be called over, and when I heard that Qin Wan had asked me to train my part, I still couldn't help but curse in my heart.
Becoming the descendant of the acting king's lineage, others may not be able to ask for it, but can his identity be promoted step by step? Even if the "Friday" status arranged for him by the saint was seamless, he could not determine whether his face had changed after thirty years.
Chai Yu, the seventh lang of the Chai family, is a handsome young man who is famous in Beijing, with a white horse and a silver gun, and I don't know how many 'girl' hearts have been stolen. If he had been born ordinary, less conspicuous, he would not have been hidden for many years by this means.
However, it is not easy for him to refuse.
He was originally the deputy pawn of the acting king's mansion, and because of the experience of ten years of exile with the acting king, he was completely tied to the acting king. Now that the king wants to promote him, what reason does he have to refuse? Tell the story and eight out of ten will think he doesn't know how to lift up, and the other two will think he has a different heart.
After weighing the pros and cons, Chai Yu saluted respectfully and said solemnly: "I will live up to the trust of the king and the county lord!" โ
Hearing this, Qin Wan smiled slightly, and said softly: "I heard that your son is crowned this year?" I don't know if he wants to enter the Southern Mansion or the Northern Palace? โ
After Chai Yu was rescued by the saint, he assumed the identity of a Lijing 'gate' secret guard, under the pseudonym "Friday", and made a small team in the Northern Ya Army. In the first few years, it was difficult for him to turn the corner from the gap in identity, and refused to accept this fact, the matchmaker came to kiss, and said that they were all illiterate 'women', which was in the previous Chai family, and he couldn't even be a third-class envoy 'woman', how could he see it? The sage knew his difficulties, asked him to wait a few more years, and deliberately found an opportunity to put an innocent background, learned to read and hyphenate in the palace, advanced and retreated to a certain extent, and did not want to climb the 'bed', just wanted to be the head of the couple, and the 'female' history of the family in Chang'an was out of the palace, so that he could be a lady.
The wife Wu is all good, but the family is dirty, not to mention the autumn breeze every once in a while, but also to pressure her with filial piety, and 'force' her to pay money from her husband's family to subsidize her mother's family. After he accompanied the king into exile, the Wu family made even more trouble, and the Wu family had to support the 'door' court, make money to send his son to study, and on the other hand, he had to deal with his mother's family, but he still taught his only son well.
Honest and benevolent, humble and gentleman, meticulous and careful, not at all like him back then, flamboyant and arrogant. The most important thing is that he looks like a mother, if he doesn't look carefully, no one can see the shadow of the Chai family on him.
"Dog ......" Chai Yu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Dog likes literature and dislikes martial arts, and now he is studying under Mr. Guo's 'door'." โ
Who is Mr. Guo, Qin Wan has never heard of it, look at Pei Xi, he also shook his head, it should be a person who is not very famous. Therefore, Qin Wan didn't think about it, and said very simply: "Zhou Dianjun is too modest, next year is the year of 'spring', so I will go and ask Aya to help write a famous post and recommend Ling Lang to participate." โ
Although the imperial examination was promoted by Xia Taizu, it was initiated by Xu Ran, the Taizu of the previous dynasty, with the intention of recruiting wise men from all over the world into the imperial court and omitting the 'door' threshold of filial piety and honesty. However, the power of the family is still very great, and there are still few opportunities for the disciples of the Han 'Gate' to study, and the imperial examination can be carried out in the central government, but there are many 'door' thresholds in the local area. Even in the central government, if you want to get a 'spring' quota, you also need to have a famous post recommendation from a high-ranking official or a great Confucian.
Because of this, many students who pride themselves on their talents come all the way to the capital to submit famous posts and works, hoping that they can be appreciated by the powerful. Even if you can't get the quota of 'Spring', it's good to be a guest secretary's staff, and if you can marry a 'girl' from a high-ranking family, your future is even more promising.
Chai Yu's son Zhou Si is outstanding in his studies, and he is also a "cold 'door'", although the husband he worships is talented and learned, but he does not have such a ability to reach the sky with his hands and eyes. He originally thought that he might not make some money and let his son become a knife and pen clerk to understand the world, but unexpectedly, Qin Wan came to such a sentence, giving his son another possibility.
To be honest, Chai Yu's feelings about his only son are complicated.
He has always been arrogant, even if he dies with his family in the name of a 'chaotic' minister and thief, he doesn't want to steal peace in this way. However, the sage secretly sent someone to inform his elders that he could save the Chai family and let the Chai family's bloodline continue.
As the best son of the Chai family, Chai Yu became the only one who did not sacrifice, but such thirty years...... It's better to choose a mediocre person, open his eyes and close his eyes, and his life will pass, why let him suffer in the world?
Suppressing the thousands of thoughts in his heart, Chai Yu respectfully saluted Qin Wan, and said with emotion: "Thank you for the county lord's love!" โ
After he left, Pei Xi was silent for a while before saying, "There is something wrong with this person." โ
"You need to take risks with him, but I don't have anyone I can trust." Qin Wan sighed, "If I hadn't noticed that his identity might not be what I thought, why would I suddenly change my words?" โ
She thought that Chai Yu was the person of Lijing's 'door', and she wanted to say that one day, you can appear in front of everyone openly, without concealment, but ......
"That's it, I don't want to do this, he was sent by the saint, and he has been with us for so long, so it's okay to use it temporarily, but the shops given by the saint. The position is good, and the benefits are definitely indispensable......" Qin Wan looked at Pei Xi, and both of them understood what the next sentence was.
It's a pity that it passed a round in the hands of the prince first.
Offering the prince's property, the saint will naturally not move, the prince is in the palace, and the shopkeeper of the shop is loyal or not, I am afraid that it cannot be guaranteed. After the death of the crown prince, the saint was so grieved that he had no time to take care of these properties.
When the master is dead, can the people below not be afraid? Those who are so active may not know who they will turn to.
Qin Wan knew very well that none of her uncles were fuel-efficient lamps, and each of them was followed by a large group of people. Sure enough, for many things, even if the heart is as clear as a mirror, I have to pretend to be stupid and stunned to get through this time.
Pei Xi saw that Qin Wan was deep in thought, his expression was complicated, and he didn't speak.
He has an extreme 'temperament' and is unscrupulous, but he also knows how difficult this road is. Qin Wan has lofty ambitions, but also has to be with its light and dust, so that he can learn how to use people.
Even if it is used in a meticulous way that you know by heart, as long as the other party can do good things for you, there is no need to be afraid, and Sun Daochang, who has died down, is the best example.
"Don't worry about these little things." Pei Xi looked at the table and said gently, "You should think about how the saint will deal with this matter when all the kings are suspicious." โ
Hearing him say this, Qin Wan laughed: "Blatantly figuring out the holy will, okay!" โ
"Saints often act by surprise." Pei Xi replied, "You might as well guess? โ
"Let King Zhao and King Lu fight."
When Pei Xi heard this, he 'revealed' a trace of an unfathomable smile: "That's right, let's have a good show next." โ
In the eyes of outsiders, what happened on the first night of the Yongning Festival was like a stone thrown into the water, which did not set off many 'waves'. If there is, it is also on the third day of the festival, the sage made a holy decree under Wei Tuo's construction, claiming that it is against heaven and harmony to release the 'daughter' of the good family in the palace at the age of 36, and now this age is put to 30 years old. As for the palace 'women' who sold themselves into the palace, those who are over 50 years old will be divided into ten acres of heaven and earth, and they will also be released from the palace.
As soon as this holy decree was issued, the government and the people were full of compliments, and they all praised the saint as a master who had never been seen for a thousand years. Since he is the master, he has to judge an unjust case and kill a few corrupt officials, so as to conform to the plot in the book. So a few days later, a ragged 'woman' knocked on the Dengwen drum and kept saying that she wanted to sue Huiji County Shou Gu An, as for the reason? Her father was originally the head of a county, and after the cash mine was issued, he reported to the government according to the regulations, but who expected that the family would be ruined that night. After she escaped by luck, she begged along the street for five years before coming to Chang'an to avenge her family. After this incident broke out, a courtier wrote to him, saying that Gu An was the guardian of a county, how could he be convicted just by the words of the 'woman' Taoist family? The sage thought about it, and it was not enough to order Gu An to enter Beijing to present his feelings, so he actually awarded King Lu the sword of the Son of Heaven, enjoyed half of the honor guard of the Son of Heaven, and went to Jiangnan to investigate this big case.
