Chapter 41 Entering Beijing
Yan Jinxuan immediately took the letter and opened it, and inside was a thin page, which briefly read, "Yan Shichong wants to concurrently serve as the secretary of the military department, but many ministers in the DPRK and China oppose it, so he has not succeeded for a while." Another minister recommended me or Zhang Qian to take this position concurrently, Yan Shichong and his party strongly opposed it, and I didn't really want to be it, and Lord Zhang was still hesitating, so the emperor had a headache recently. In addition, someone secretly found out that the Seventh Prince set up a factory in Hutanzhou to privately make weapons, and his motive has become increasingly obvious, in view of the urgency of the situation, you should return to Beijing a few days in advance. ”
It was written by Yan Jinxuan's father, Yan Yunpei, and he took a private courier.
The Yan family has four masters, and each holds important positions in different ministries, Yan Shichong is very jealous, so he often thinks of ways to suppress it, and it is wise for his father to refuse to serve as the secretary of the military department at this time. And Zhang Qian is his brother's father-in-law, Yan Shichong will naturally be wary of him, and this is not the best time for him to take over this position.
After reading the letter, Yan Jinxuan's expression was very strict, and he said to Mrs. Lu: "Mother, it's a letter from my father, saying that the situation in the DPRK and China is a bit urgent, so I plan to leave for Beijing at noon tomorrow. ”
As soon as Mrs. Lu heard that it was an important matter in the court, where did she dare to delay, she hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay, your business is important, I'll go and pack my luggage later." ”
Yan Jinxuan nodded.
As soon as he saw Yan Jinxuan's expression was stern, and heard him say that the situation in the DPRK and China was urgent, Su Shanyun couldn't even eat, so he hurriedly put down the bowl.
"I'll pack my bags tonight too." Su Shanyun said busily.
"Uh-huh, you can come here before noon tomorrow." Yan Jinxuan said to her, and then instructed Gu Song: "We will ride to the Dayan Temple early tomorrow morning, and strive to come back as soon as possible." ”
"Yes." Honka replied respectfully.
It was rare for a dignified squire to travel on horseback, but Honmatsu understood what Yan Jinxuan meant, and Yan felt that riding a horse was faster than riding a carriage.
At a critical juncture, Yan Jinxuan doesn't care about those ceremonies, he pays more attention to the effect.
Since he had promised that the abbot and abbot of Dayan Temple would inspect there, he would do what he said.
Yan Jinxuan instructed Gu Songyu to send Su Shanyun back to Ning Mansion, and he put the letter in his pocket and went back to the study.
In the study, he drew a picture on a blank piece of paper, wrote the names of more than thirty people on it, and carefully scrutinized them one by one.
Judging from the content of my father's letter, the political struggle within the cabinet has gradually become white-hot.
At present, there are seven people in the cabinet, Yan Shichong is the first assistant, and other scholars include Yan Yunpei, Zhang Qian, Liu Qingchi, Fang Duan, and other six people, and three of these six people are Yan Shichong's henchmen who were privately elected to the top position, so Yan Shichong's power in the cabinet is very great, and Yan Tong, the secretary of the ministry, and Gan Feng, the commander of Jinyiwei, were also promoted step by step by him by using his power, so looking at the court, his henchmen have occupied more than half of the confidential departments, and the emperor has to be a little afraid of him.
But Yan Shichong's climate is also formed step by step.
At that time, because the emperor Zhu Zhi was still too young when he took office, the first emperor thought that Yan Shichong was "self-denying and strong-willed", and he was a person who could achieve great things, so he promoted him to be Zhu Zhi's concubine.
Zhu Zhi has his help like a tiger, and he is naturally happy to give him fame and fortune.
In this way, in the past 20 years of Zhu Zhi's reign, Yan Shichong has played many roles such as father, teacher, and minister.
But in the past few years, seeing that Yan Shichong's power has become bigger and bigger, Zhu Zhicai gradually realized that the situation was inappropriate, so he immediately focused on cultivating a group of virtuous ministers and tried to secretly contend with them. But he also misses Yan Shichong's dedication to him and the country over the years, so he often can't bear it, and he is still quite tolerant of Yan Shichong's many behaviors.
Judging from the current situation, if Yan Shichong is concurrently the secretary of the military department, it will form a very dangerous situation, because the six princes and the seventh princes have already shown signs of rebellion, and they have a very close relationship with Yan Shichong in recent years, if Yan Shichong betrays Zhu Zhi and joins forces with any of them, it will directly endanger Zhu Zhi's throne.
Therefore, many people want to sit in the position of the secretary of the military department, but they are afraid that they will not be able to sit steadily, because they have to take care of Yan Shichong.
So, what kind of person is found to be the secretary of the military department so that he can not only calm Yan Shichong but also meet the employment needs of this position? In fact, as many ministers said, Yan Yunpei and Zhang Qian are indeed ideal candidates, because they both have talent, power and prestige, and they have been in the court for many years and have rich experience in dealing with the situation.
It's just that because of Yan Shichong's storage, they don't dare to take this hot potato.
Yan Jinxuan's gaze slowly moved and weighed among the names, and suddenly, his gaze was fixed on a person's name.
……………
Knowing that Su Shanyun was going to enter Beijing with the Yan family tomorrow, Mrs. Su, Ning Hao and Ning Changrou were all very reluctant.
Mrs. Su made a few cans of cherry jam for her overnight and stuffed a bag of Tianjin snacks into her duffel bag.
"When you get there, write to us and come back whenever you want to come back." Mrs. Su said, and then handed her a large bag of things for Ning Changqing.
Su Shanyun nodded while folding her clothes, thinking of the love she had received in Ning Mansion in the past two months, she was both grateful and reluctant, and her eyes turned red.
She was afraid of being seen by Mrs. Su, so she hurriedly lowered her head.
In this world, there are not many people who can treat you as a relative, and some relatives only have calculations and quarrels with each other, so she feels that her aunt's family, Mrs. Lu and Second Master Yan are really good and worthy of being treated with sincerity.
After a dreamless night, Su Shanyun woke up early.
Because she was worried that she would make Second Master Yan and them wait for a long time, Su Shanyun hastily ate some breakfast and was about to go to Yan's house, Mrs. Su hurriedly said, "Don't be nervous, Changrou and I will go over with you, and I will send you off by the way." ”
Su Shanyun nodded and sat down obediently.
But I was unconsciously a little anxious and wanted to rush over immediately.
Finally, my aunt and cousin also picked it up, and the three of them took a carriage to Yanfu.
When I arrived at the gate of Deyan Mansion, I saw that Mrs. Lu's subordinates were busy putting their luggage into the carriage, and Mrs. Lu was also helping on the side.
The sun had only risen for a short time, and the sky and the earth were still covered with mist, and the surroundings were quiet.
But for those who are about to go far away, the mood is not very calm.
Everyone helped load Mrs. Lu's luggage into the car, and then put Su Shanyun's on it.
Then, everyone heard the sound of horses' hooves in a hurry.
Following the prestige, I saw Yan Jinxuan riding a white horse galloping towards here.
Sitting on the horse, he was dressed in white fluttering, heroic and vigorous, full of strength and beauty, attracting everyone's attention like a light.
He was followed by Honka and four other retinues.
The group was all on horseback.
In the blink of an eye, they were in front of everyone.
Yan Jinxuan flew off his horse and saluted Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Su, and then asked the housekeeper, "Are all the things ready?" ”
The butler replied respectfully, "It's all ready." ”
"Let's go, then." After that, he arranged for Mrs. Lu and Su Shanyun to sit in the same carriage, and he took another one, and the other one was specially for luggage.
When everyone was seated, and only the coachman could hear a ho, the three carriages galloped away in the direction of the dock.
