Chapter 196: Helping the coffin to return home

Li Rui's "complaint" aroused great attention from the Xinguo Mansion and his family.

Gu Qing firmly stood on the side of maintaining national stability and supporting the country's prosperity and development, and impassionedly condemned this group of national separatists who wanted to train their grandson into "terrorists", and said that he would completely crush the ambitions of these national separatists at all costs.

Li Mao's reaction to this incident was only two words.

Complain.

Let them feel that Li Rui still has use value, and Li Rui will be fine. These remnants of the Yin Dynasty have not bitten out the Zhang family and the Li family yet, because they have not yet started an incident, and they need to keep a low profile. If they start an incident, in order to force the emperor to no longer dare to trust the courtiers, Li Rui's identity will definitely be revealed.

With this in mind, Li Mao decided to strike first.

But how to complain to the emperor, and be sure that the family of the Xinguo Mansion are victims who don't know anything, this needs to be considered. There is also the Zhang family, the Zhang family has just been involved in this matter, and they have not left Beijing yet, and this situation must wait until the right time to sue.

Before that, Li Rui had to keep a distance from these people at any time, first, he couldn't startle the snake, and second, he couldn't let these people jump off the wall in a hurry, and it was best to let them mess with themselves.

"Could it be that our family is such an unlucky fate?" Gu Qing looked at his grandson with an angry face, and then looked at his cheap son with a thoughtful look, and felt that his brain was not enough.

"One, two, three, all pay attention to Rui'er, who is the one who harmed the witch has not been found, and now Rui'er has become the little master who is waiting to grow up in the remnants of the previous dynasty......" Gu Qing slapped the table, "Next time, there will be a beauty plan, a bitter meat plan or something, it will really kidnap people!" ”

"Grandma, what do you say!" Gu Qing's words successfully made Li Rui lose the atmosphere of anger at all.

Is he so easily abducted?

"I know the truth, if you want to be a good thief, strength and financial resources are secondary, first of all, you must be able to break blindly, and the shocking people who are all shocked to listen to are terrified! It's better to talk about the miserable life experience and the fate of the involuntarily, the most reluctant, anti-social and anti-human blackening, and then you forced me to say a sentence. For so many years, it has been a routine from ancient times to the present!! Gu Qing scolded everyone indignantly, "This is a living rebel movement!" ”

"Those who believe are SB!"

……

……

……

Li Mao and Li Rui glanced at each other and came to a conclusion.

Grandma was mad.

"Leave them alone, for these people, the best thing is to live a good life by yourself, live a prosperous life, live a happy life, and kill them!" Gu Qing knocked on the table, "Just let them hide in a dark corner and stink!" ”

You deserve to be an undercover agent for the rest of your life!

The red lady and the ghost face still know that they are trying to escape and find their own freedom, but these people can only be willing to fall, there is no cure!

Li Rui felt that every time he couldn't scold, his grandmother could easily say it, and what his grandmother said now was what he wanted to say in his heart, so he nodded extra hard.

After the family meeting, Li Mao said that he would find a way to deal with this matter, and let Li Rui live his own life, Gu Qing heard that Li Rui had not eaten dinner at this time, so he hurriedly pulled him to the dining room and asked the people to rearrange the meal, while feeling distressed, he took Li Rui's hand and nagged, asking him to be careful in the palace.

Li Rui's heart was hot when he was spoiled by his grandmother, and his footsteps were floating when he walked out of the door.

Ah, there are so many stars tonight!

Tomorrow must be a sunny day.

Li Rui finished his meal and walked towards his Qingcang Courtyard.

Halfway through, Li Rui met Mama Hua who was waiting for her on the □ in North Park.

Li Rui knew that this grandmother's henchman would not come to him for no reason, she would wait on this necessary road, there must be something important.

When Mama Hua saw Li Rui, she simply pulled him to a remote corner, and then looked up and asked him:

"I listened to Mrs. Tai's nagging at night, it seems that Young Master Rui has encountered danger in the palace?"

“…… It's not dangerous. It's just that I met a villain. Li Rui was a little uncomfortable and took a step back.

"Young Master Rui, you also know that I have been in the palace for the first half of my life, and I was rescued by the old prince until the palace was broken." Mama Hua knew that Li Rui had little contact with women, so she didn't care about his retreat, but thought he was weird and cute, "I thought about it and decided to tell you a few secrets in the palace." If you are really in danger in the palace, you can retreat. ”

Mama Hua's master is a secret guard in the palace that has been passed down from generation to generation, but later the country changed hands, and the secret guards were unwilling to serve the Hu people, and the former glory was no longer there, and they were willing to be an ordinary palace person.

But some secrets have been passed down by word of mouth.

"Young Master Rui, you must remember the places I said below." She informed Li Rui of several secret passages and dark places in the cold palace and the east palace, and then added:

"The secret passage of the cold palace leads to the outside of the palace, and the secret passage of the east palace leads to the inner city. My master only knows these two places, because her master was serving the prince back then, and she was originally assigned to the harem to protect the queen. I think there are other tunnels in the palace, but that's not something I can know. ”

"Thank you Mama Hua for being so concerned about me ......," Li Rui knew that Mama Hua would confide in him, and these must be under great pressure. Our family owes you too much, and our brothers and sisters will definitely provide for you in the future, and it will never be a lie. ”

Mama Hua rolled up her sleeves, "Is there still a shortage of people to send me to the end of my flower dynasty?" Your sister is now my godgranddaughter, and you are no different from my grandson. The family doesn't talk about two families, you are careful in everything, and take care of your grandmother, it is the right reason. ”

Mrs. Qiu can no longer afford a white-haired person to send a black-haired person.

Mama Hua told Li Rui a few secret passages in the palace, and returned to Zhiyun Courtyard alone as when she came.

Li Rui stood in place for a while, feeling that his heart was full of the love of others, and his whole body was full of courage to face the storm.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he is not alone in facing it, what is he afraid of?

Li Rui took his family all the way to the West Garden. The lights along the way were not as bright as before, only his Qingcang Courtyard was still brightly lit along the road.

Li Jun got an official position and was based in Fenzhou, and he didn't even come back for the Chinese New Year this year, and there were only a few family members left in the small cross-courtyard where he originally lived, so naturally the lights would not be on all the time. The division of lamp oil and candles between the master and the subordinate is different.

Li Zhao became Chen Siqing's apprentice, although he could go home every day, but this old man Chen didn't know if his health was not good for fear that he would have accidents, or he really liked this disciple, and left him to live in the house for three days, as if he was his own son and nephew.

Regarding this matter, Li Mao was happy to see it, and Li Zhao saw that the whole family supported it, so he could only come back every once in a while.

As for Li Ming......

Since his mother moved to Zhiyun Courtyard, her health has improved rapidly, Li Mao and Li Ming both persuaded the Fang family to take care of the old lady in Zhiyun Courtyard to take care of the □ first, and wait for Xiao Li Mei to move back to Jinxiu Courtyard after a hundred days, but Li Ming continued to live in the small cross courtyard where his mother used to live in Zhiyun Courtyard.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand, it turns out that when he lived in the cloud building in the West Garden, next door was his brother's Qingcang Courtyard, and not far from the side courtyard where the two cousins lived.

But the good times didn't last long, his brother entered the palace, his cousin went to Fenzhou, and the little cousin was also abducted and ran away.

But Li Rui understands and understands, he has only one feeling about Li Rui's practice of staying in his grandmother's yard at the age of eleven:

- Humph! Sycophants! Yes man! Crybaby!

Don't think he doesn't know what to do, Sister Xiangyun said that he was crying and didn't want to leave, and grandma was soft-hearted to leave him!

Catch up with Ming'er and tell his uncle to go, how can there be teenagers still in the backyard?

No, it is in line with the rules!

Night.

Since the accident at his uncle's house, he has not allowed the servants from his uncle's house to enter his main house, Cangxi and Canglan are still waiting closely, but they are not allowed to live in the outhouse at night to watch the night, and the night vigil is the little maid in the family.

He doesn't need anyone to serve him at night, and he solves it by himself when he gets up at night.

There was half a month in the cell, what else could not be endured?

experienced too many things during the day, so Li Rui couldn't sleep until late.

Every adolescent teenager will feel nostalgic for himself, no matter how mature Li Rui is, he is just a little kid who has just reached the age of fifteen.

He couldn't help but imagine that if his aunt went all the way to the dark, his uncle chose to continue to distance himself from him, and his grandmother locked himself in the Zhiyun Courtyard all day long, missing his grandfather......

So what would he be like now?

If he hadn't died, he would have thrown himself into the ranks of the thieves without hesitation, right?

Maybe you will become a puppet, maybe you will become a terrible person.

may be tossed to ruin their own families, and everyone will betray their relatives.

The thought of such a scene makes him shudder.

Whether God took everything away or not, it still left him with hope.

And hope, which will give birth to all the good things, will give him inner peace and joy. What does it matter if there is power or wealth?

He's got what he wants.

In a blink of an eye, the year passed, and the three candidates submitted by Zhang Ning to the emperor finally came to the result, and Zhang Hua, the former left attendant of the ministry, was promoted to the position of the secretary of the ministry, and the position of the left servant of the ministry was appointed by Gu Zhan, the chief official who had contributed to the disaster relief in Wuzhou, and was transferred back to the capital.

The flood in Wuzhou dismissed many officials, and there were even several sinners who embezzled river money and disappeared without a trace, so that the officials in the entire Wuzhou region had to change blood, either promoted or demoted, and there were many vacancies waiting to be filled.

And Zhang Hua is the same clan as Zhang Nuo, the Duke of Jin, but he was born as a concubine, and he is not from the same clan as Zhang Nuo, and he rarely climbs any relationship on weekdays, and he is a practical and capable minister.

The main thing is that his wife is the daughter of a nobleman.

Although the emperor was not very satisfied with this candidate, he also felt that it was acceptable.

Zhang Nuo is in charge of Pingzhang political affairs, almost the prime minister, he Ding worries that Chu Rui has not been promoted to this position again, at this time he has promoted a Shangshu who is related to Zhang Nuo but is still neutral, which is both appeased and logical, and there is nothing to say about this candidate.

Zhang Ning handled everything, and on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, he returned to his hometown with his brothers, wives and children. Zhang Zhi's wife and children also went to the capital, because of their filial piety, it was difficult to visit the Xinguo Mansion, or Gu Qing personally went to Zhang's Mansion to visit Li Rui's uncle's relatives.

After Zhang Ning left the clan, he separated his father's branch from the clan and set up another Zhang family. He resisted the opposition of others and wrote Zhang Zhi into the family tree, and from then on, Zhang Zhi can be regarded as a descendant of the main house.

In this regard, Zhang Zhi's wife Dai was ecstatic and treated the uncle's family with great respect. not only volunteered 200,000 taels as the money of the two princes in the future, but also promised that his niece would make up for her marriage.

Her family is a Liangzhou giant, and she herself married with forty percent of the family's industry, and she can get forty percent of the annual income, even Zhang Zhi didn't dare to be too much to this daughter-in-law at home, and she was generous at this time, and she also had face on her face.

Zhang Ning knew that the Dai family was thinking too much, but at this time, the Zhang family really needed this money, and the tens of thousands of taels of silver in their room were really nothing, so he accepted her kindness.

When Zhang Ning left the clan, he took back all the assets and fields and manors belonging to the Zhang family in previous dynasties, and took back half of the sacrificial fields. He doesn't have the manpower to take care of these industries, but his brother-in-law Dai has too many people at his disposal, and he himself has many henchmen brought back from Tongzhou.

The middle school will always be full.

As for the antiques that are not easy to move, the emperor's reward and other large items, Zhang Ning sealed the box and sent someone to send it to his mother-in-law's house.

His house was given by the emperor and could not be moved, but it was okay to leave the things in the house to his mother-in-law's house for safekeeping.

Zhang Ning didn't know if he did this, and those Yin Dynasty remnants who were directly kicked away would hit the wall angrily, but he couldn't control these now, in the past few years, he had taught the four boys of the two families with peace of mind, and then married the eldest daughter out of Lu, even if he did his duty as a father and uncle.

As for the disputes in Beijing, open and secret battles, and remnant rebellion, he married in Yanzhou to guard filial piety, and the emperor was far away, so he couldn't care so much.

On the day Zhang Ning and Zhang Zhifu returned to their hometowns, countless officials came to send them off. Cui had an order, and the imperial court sent five officials from Taichang Temple to send her back to her hometown, and she was responsible for funeral etiquette in her hometown.

Li Mao brought his sons and nephews over to see him off, and when he left, he gave Zhang Ning a letter.

It is written that Yanzhou can directly reach the location of the post station and the joint code of Tianting.

Li Mao had gained the emperor's trust since he returned from the Fenzhou Racecourse last time, and gave him a list of post stations in various places, allowing him to use the channels of these post stations to transmit information.

Li Mao was worried that the remnants of the Yin Dynasty would still find Zhang Ning, and in case Zhang Ning had the disaster of killing and exterminating the clan, he could take his family to these post stations to temporarily take refuge and ask for support.

This is already an abuse of power, but Li Mao is confident that the affairs of the Zhang family are related to the society, and if he really uses the strength of the Yanzhou Post Station one day, he will definitely not be questioned by the emperor.

Zhang Ning and Zhang Zhi were very worried about their nephew, and repeatedly told them to discuss everything with their families and communicate with Yanzhou regularly, so they reluctantly went on the road.

When Zhang Ning and Zhang Zhi saw what the content of Li Mao's letter to them was, and what kind of trust and care was entrusted to them, the two brothers were very complicated in their hearts.

What kind of person is this Li Mao......

They can be regarded as having read countless people, but it is difficult to summarize.

In this way, people who use all their resources to protect themselves or those they care about have to say that they are very bold and have no position at all.

Li Mao is indeed not smart.

But his lack of intelligence does not hide his other virtues.

At the very least, the Zhang brothers were moved.

Zichen Palace.

"This kind of important piece of music was actually pressed for half a month before it was delivered!" Chu Rui yelled at the governor with a cold face, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

Qi Shao shouted for this old man in his heart, this recital is a Chen Shi Song, it belongs to the inscription, there is no urgency, and there is no encryption, it is just an ordinary recital, and it is also under the door of Honglu Temple.

But the content of this inscription is nothing more than gossip spoken by some people, and it is naturally impossible for a few ministers to do it as an important matter.

If it weren't for the fact that Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple had not moved for a long time, and the more he inquired about the news from the Qianren, the more specific it became, he was really uneasy and went back to the urgent letter, I am afraid that His Majesty will not be able to see this book until now.

After Zhang Notting, the Duke of the Jin Kingdom, became less and less efficient. Nowadays, many officials use vermilion boxes to present the concerto, even if they are not in a hurry, but they are afraid that they will be backlogged for too long.

In the past, when the Duke of Jin was still there, some inconsequential official affairs were done immediately. Otherwise, the emperor would have been unable to hold on to some trivial things all day long.

The governor didn't know what was important about this recital, and he cried out in his heart.

Only Chu Rui knew Zhang Xuan's prediction back then, it was cold outside the border, and if there was no food or clothing, I was afraid that he would disturb the side.

Last summer, there was a heavy rain in the south, and there was a great drought in the north, and the news of this drought was not revealed to the south at all.

"Qi Shao, Li Mao, the secretary of the Xuanbing Department, is here to see!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The other side.

When Zhang Xuanji entered Beijing, the first thing he did was to find the juniors and disciples who lived in Qingyun Temple.

Shi Yi and others have been writing "Xuan Miao" with Zhang Xuan for half a year, Zhang Xuan has to work on errands on weekdays, and it is very hard to travel back and forth between the suburbs of Beijing and the inner city every day, so he changed to come to Qingyunguan once every three days, and sat down with a few brothers and sisters.

Zhang Xuanji is their senior sister, and as soon as she appeared, she scared several junior brothers half to death.

Their senior sister will not go down the mountain easily!

Only Zhang Xuan vaguely knew what this master sister who was proficient in celestial phenomena came for, and when he asked, it was indeed the reason for the celestial phenomenon on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"Although I am an official of the Qin Heavenly Prison, my official position is too small, and I can't go directly to His Majesty." Zhang Xuan was embarrassed and said, "But if I take the post from Qintianjian, this divination cannot be used as content." ”

"For today's plan, Senior Sister can only go to the Xinguo Mansion with me."

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Author: Did Li Guogong use the emperor's post station to convey any ulterior news?

Li Mao: ...... No.

Author: Will there be one in the future?

Li Mao: ...... It depends.

Author: Li Guogong is really an informal person.

Li Mao: ...... Overpraise.
