Chapter Twenty-Nine: Biography
"Who's back?"
Outside the forbidden political affairs hall, Wang Entropy's seat was carried to the front of the steps, and several straight houses hurriedly ran out to help him stop, get down, and help people out of it.
He arrived in a hurry from his home, and received the news that the returnees had entered the city, but he did not know what kind of people had returned, and he could not sit still at home in a hurry, so he simply took the chariot to wait here. A person in his seventies, such a toss, seeing that his complexion was a little worse, Liumengyan, who was on duty in the hall, was only one step slower than Zhishe, and what he saw was an old figure of Long Zhongwei who might fall down at any time.
"Pingzhang, why bother to come by himself, with the letter, I will go to the house, calculate the day, this should be back to report safety, it's not worth making such a big move." He personally went down the stairs, hugged Wang Entropy, and kept persuading him, Wang Entropy didn't know how to listen to the fork, and stopped immediately.
"? Where to move troops again, you can't fight it now, you want appeasement, you can't let the people below toss blindly. Looking at Lao Pingzhangyan's expression, Liu Mengyan couldn't cry or laugh a little, but more of a spontaneous respect, this old man may not be able to hear clearly behind his ears, and all he thinks about is the overall situation of the court.
"No, no, there are no troops moving anywhere, okay, you go slowly."
Usually it seems to be a matter of a few steps, today I don't know why he walks so slowly, Liu Mengyan has to look at the steps while helping him, according to the regulations, the government hall is only one level lower than the emperor's Daqing, vertical arch and other halls, in order to show respect, this step is no more and no less exactly eight steps, counting the progressions, Liu Mengyan's forehead has been slightly sweaty.
"Which one came back? Did the people arrive? The strange thing is that as soon as he entered the big room in charge, Wang Entropy regained his expression, and he was like the old man who was crumbling in the last years of the wind and candle before, and even walked a little faster, but left Liumengyan behind.
"Don't worry, Chen Shangshu has called, and he will definitely arrive after a while." When Liu Mengyan followed up, Wang Entropy had already sat on the kang table in the middle, and took some reports to be approved as usual, and some of them were sent over after approval, which was not a big deal, but it just made the old man not so boring.
"Han Fu, don't look at it, you're busy, so many state affairs, you don't need to accompany me, the dying one]" dǐng] "diǎn] "small] said, .♀.¤os_ (); Old man. ”
Wang Entropy stopped him, and said in a flat tone, Liu Mengyan's heart was choked for a while, and his hand holding the thing was empty, so he could only bend down and bow his head, and then returned to his bookcase, and silently recited a few words "quiet" in a row, and then began to deal with the business accumulated on the desk without distraction.
Chen Jingxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not wait for the arrival in his official office, knowing the importance of the matter, the old Pingzhang of the political hall, the ministers and even the saints in the palace were waiting for the news from the north, where could they still afford the calm atmosphere of the important ministers, they didn't even need to be entourage, and they went to the door in person.
"Uncle Zong." As this person's direct subordinate, Liu Yue naturally recognized who he was, and when he came to visit in person, he couldn't help but be taken aback, knowing that this was not in his own home, but the Liu Mansion in Xingqingfang.
"Shuoren, uninvited, there are many rudenesses, forgive me." Chen Jingxing just greeted him with his eyes, turned his head and arched his hand at the hostess in the hall and said, Originally, with his grade, he didn't need to be courteous first, but since he was an uninvited guest, and the other party was a woman, of course he had to make a gesture, otherwise it would be rude to spread it.
"When Shangshu arrived at the house, he never greeted him from afar, which was rude to the house." Jing Niang had just received the letter handed by Liu Yue, and she hadn't had time to open the envelope, if it weren't for the foundation laid by strict education since childhood, she wouldn't want to deal with these outsiders at all, no matter how many officials in the court were several officials, how could it be more important to know the news of her husband?
As soon as the politeness was over, the three people in the hall were speechless, if it was a man, it would be good to say a diǎn, and it would be okay to talk about anything casually, but he was born to a hostess, Chen Jingxing suddenly felt like sitting on pins and needles, how to open his mouth is not right, and he can't say that he just sat down and left? In this way, it was embarrassing, he didn't speak at the highest level, how dare Liu Yue, as a subordinate, interject, both of them lowered their heads and concentrated on dealing with the tea served, as if it was such a treasure.
"Brother Fang Cai sent someone to summon him, talking about the letter, if you two are not busy leaving, just eat here with some food, please forgive me for missing for a while." Jing Niang didn't have time to grind with them, so she found an excuse to stand up, and as soon as her words came out, Chen Jingxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.
"Since Shuoren has something, I won't bother when I wait, he will wait for Liu Shizhi to come back, and then visit the door, say goodbye, and stay with Shuoren."
The chief officer is gone, Liu Yue is naturally not good to sit anymore, anyway, the matter has been delivered, and the two of them exited the living room with the hostess's unstoppable apology. Jing Niang waited for their figures to disappear in front of her, then restrained her expression, and hurried back to the hall, her husband's letter was in her hand, and it was very tight, and she wanted to tear it with her hands when she was in a hurry.
"I'll do it." Tingchao took a pair of scissors, took the envelope from her hand, carefully picked it open along the sticky opening, and then cut it to the end, except for the opening, not a single diǎn hurt the inside, she twisted out a strange style from the squeezed seal. Jing Niang hurriedly took it over to take a look, it turned out that the letter had been folded into a paper crane shape, she looked at it blankly for a while, and then unfolded the letter along the folds.
"Jing Niang, my wife is like meeting." The moment she saw that pen, Jing Niang's eyes moistened suddenly, this is undoubtedly her husband's handwriting, such a distinctive font, I am afraid that the whole Song Dynasty will not be able to find an imitator.
"A few months of farewell, just like a year, when the husband drinks the Yellow River, the beloved wife is still on the shore of the river, thousands of miles away from each other, the feelings of longing are like the river into the sea, when the endless autumn leaves are gradually falling, it is the day when the husband comes home, the love of his wife, the language of parting is still in the ear, do not mistake yourself, otherwise see how I go home to clean up you? Listen to the tide, if your lady is disobedient, Lang Jun authorizes you, don't be polite, I will bear it for you, there is only one, let your lady do it well, wash it and wait in bed. ”
At the beginning, she pretended to be a vassal and elegantly affectionate, hooking Jing Niang's tears, but at the end of the painting style suddenly changed, which suddenly diluted her lovesickness, and what came to mind was the lazy image that made people love and hate, just like the face shown in the square box, there was a diǎndiǎn uninhibited, a diǎndiǎn bad smile, a diǎndiǎn color heart, and full of love and pity.
"Snort." Listening to the tide, she followed her hand and read it, and couldn't help laughing at the end of the reading, but she rarely showed disdain for the lady's feigned anger, Lang Jun said very clearly, the lady is now in her charge, and someone is responsible for everything, what else is she afraid of?
"Lady, are you done? At this hour, it's time to bathe and rest, and the slave will go and prepare hot water with you, and come and call you later. ”
After speaking, she didn't wait for her to answer, and walked away with a high spirit, Jing Niang looked at her back blankly, and couldn't help but think of the words on the letter, her husband's love words are more special than others, so that she is excited and diǎn is a little shy, when the autumn leaves are falling, I am afraid that it is coming.
"The lower official was personally sent back by the servant, and the official document has been handed over to Chen Shangshu, which is written very clearly, and when he left, the servant specially instructed the lower official to remind the princes that the Yuan people did not have the sincerity of the contract, and the court should be prepared."
"Prepare what?" The person who spoke was Chen Yizhong, the prime minister of Zuo who rushed to hear the news, he didn't receive the news later than others, but there were too many things to get out of, and when he heard such words, he subconsciously asked.
"Great changes, the lower officials have seen with their own eyes, the Yuan people are leviing on a large scale, and the official roads to the south are full of sweat cows, and there is an endless stream of cars, horses and pedestrians, even if it is still the case at night, if the court is not prepared, I am afraid that there will be unforeseen disasters."
Liu Yue was summoned to the administrative center of the Great Song Dynasty for the first time, and he was originally a little timid, because the three people he faced were the heads of this huge country, and they were thousands of miles away from himself, a small official of the seventh grade, but as soon as he talked about what he saw along the way, he unconsciously had a sense of courage, and his tone was even a little harsh.
"Alarmist, nonsense!" Before he finished speaking, Chen Jingxing interrupted with his words, and at the same time glared at him fiercely, this peace treaty was completed under his leadership, and it was about to be completed, how could he allow such words to interfere with the Holy Hearing?
"All the princes here know what you said, it's not easy to come back, you haven't got home yet, go home first to see your wife and children, and we'll talk about it later." Liu Mengyan was also a little dissatisfied with his words, but after all, it was the prime minister's bearing, he stopped Chen Jingxing's verbal criticism, and Wen Yan said to a seven-rank official.
The person was brought by Chen Jingxing, so naturally he had to be sent out, the three ministers looked at the official document in their hands silently, but what appeared in their minds was the scene that the little official just said, Yuan Ren would really break the contract to attack? If it is true, how is the imperial court going to respond? What to deal with.
"Today is just the first batch, if the old man expects it to be good, someone will come back in the future, what is going on, there will always be a know, you and I don't have to mess up my mood because of this, let's go and get busy."
Wang Entropy spoke clearly and said clearly, his mind was extremely clear at the moment, this little official of the Ministry of Rites would never joke about such a big thing, no matter what the Yuan people wanted to do, Da Song's own internal chaos could not be messed up, once it was messy, it would be even more impossible to clean up, Lao Pingzhang's eyes looked out of the hall through the curtain, looking so lonely.
