Chapter 148: Yu Qian, who was ordered to be in danger
Qiantang County,
The summer rain had just fallen, and the humidity was overwhelming. Such alleys have a poetic elegance that can't help but remind people of ancient poems.
Xiaolou listened to the spring rain overnight, and sold apricot blossoms in the deep alleys of the Ming Dynasty.
And now the one who listened to the rain all night has risen.
In the depths of the alley, there is a small courtyard, Yu Qian is dressed in green clothes, walking under the flowers and trees in the courtyard, pacing slowly.
This is where he read as a child. It's just that in the past two years, my parents have left one after another. The elders in the family withered away, and Yu Qian unknowingly became the elder of the Yu family in Qiantang.
Yu Qian, as the most trusted minister today, even if he is on vacation at home, there are many people who come to see Yu Qian. Yu Qian didn't see any of them.
More than ten days have passed. Yu Qian got a point of purity.
Yu Qian sat under the flower tree, still the original stone table and stone bench, or the original Analects Mencius, but the person who held the ring ruler to urge Yu Qian to study is no longer there.
Yu Qian read and read, and suddenly couldn't read anymore, his eyes closed, and a line of tears flowed down.
It's like spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
The pain of bereavement does not seem to surround the heart all the time, but inadvertently, it makes people cry.
Suddenly, the silence was shattered by a sound outside.
Countless dense footsteps were heard.
It seems that I don't know how many are running towards Yu Qian's small courtyard.
Suddenly, there was silence outside, and a male duck knocked on the door gently and said, "Lord Yu is here?" ”
Yu Qian opened the door, but saw that it was a little eunuch.
The eunuch was also greatly surprised when he saw Yu Qian coming over to open the door.
Without him, the courtyard of Yu Qian's house is just a step, about a dozen houses, or Yu Qian's father, and there are no servants in the family.
Yu Qian was an official outside, but he brought a few hometown people as long-term followers.
This is all officialdom practice, otherwise many things are not easy to do, but after returning home, they send people away and let them go home to see.
After all, Yu Qian's ups and downs in the sea can only return to his hometown once when he is mourning.
So in this family, there are only Yu Qian, Yu Qian's wife, Yu Qian's son, Yu Mian, and Yu Qian's two concubines, these two concubines are still rewarded by Zhu Qizhen.
It's nothing more than seeing that Yu Qian's heirs are too thin.
In later generations, Yu Qian's son Yu Mian succeeded the same clan as his heir, that is, Yu Qian's bloodline was cut off. Although Zhu Qizhen didn't know about this matter, he also felt that Yu Qian was not young, but he only had one son, which was too thin. So when the reward was given, he filled in a few palace maids.
In this case, when someone comes from outside, it is naturally Yu Qian, the master, who will open the door, is it difficult to let the women and children answer the door?
Yu Qian said: "
It's Yu, but I don't know what happened to this father-in-law? ”
This eunuch is Zhao Huan.
He is a servant of the dust, and it is precisely because Zhu Qizhen has too many hopes for Qian that he sent his henchmen to see Yu Qian, many things are not good to fall between paper and pen, and it is better to let the word of mouth pass on.
Zhao Huan's journey came at an expedited speed of 800 miles. Almost knocked him half to death.
To tell the truth, he has also passed on a lot of holy decrees on behalf of Zhu Qizhen, and has seen many ministers' mansions, but at this moment, he saw Yu Qian's mansion, but it was too simple.
Such a small courtyard, if it is placed in Beijing, may be fine.
After all, for many officials, Beijing is just a temporary place to live, and they will not buy property in Beijing, let alone the housing prices in Beijing are quite expensive.
Therefore, many of the adults in Beijing have relatively simple residences. But at home it's different.
In the home, it is where the foundation of the clan lies. The houses of the big families in many places are connected together, and several streets belong to their families, which is the big family.
The pomp and circumstance was bigger than that of the magistrates.
But Yu Qian's courtyard is so simple, standing at the door, you can see it through at a glance. Zhao Huan even saw Yu Qian's wife hiding in the room, looking through the window.
"Lord Yu is a true official." Zhao Huan said secretly in his heart. He said loudly: "Your Majesty has a metaphor, and Yu Qian will accept the order." ”
Yu Qian immediately took two steps back, saluted like a ritual, Zhao Huan took out a box from behind him, handed it to Yu Qian with both hands, Yu Qian took it with both hands, checked the seal, it was intact, and then invited Zhao Huan to sit down, as for the people brought by Zhao Huan, that is, the officials of Qiantang County, they could only stay in the alleys, and they were not qualified to enter the courtyard at all.
Yu Qian took the box, entered the room, took a paper cutter, cut the seal, and then opened the box.
This is Zhu Qizhen's secret purpose.
Yu Qian opened it and took a look, Zhu Qizhen did not say anything in the letter, but said the current situation of the Yellow River in 1510, and finally asked him to serve as the governor of the river, and lead the people and material resources of Zhili, Henan, and Shandong provinces to control the Yellow River as soon as possible.
Zhu Qizhen said in particular, the holy decree appointing Yu Qian as the governor of the river is in the hands of Zhao Huan, if Yu Qian feels that it is not suitable, the family will let Zhao Huan bring the holy decree back.
Zhu Qizhen actually knew that a person like Yu Qian, knowing such a situation, would definitely not stay for a moment, and would take office immediately, and he would never have any fear of difficulties.
It's just going to be difficult.
But Zhu Qizhen's politeness still moved Yu Qian's heart slightly.
Yu Qian immediately received the holy decree from Zhao Huanna, invited Zhao Huan into the inner room, and asked, "My father-in-law came from afar, what did he teach me?" ”
Zhao Huan immediately said: "My lord smiled, my lord is His Majesty's teacher, and the slave and maid are the ones who are left to be punished, and what do you have to teach the adult, but the adult has not been in Beijing recently, yes."
I don't know much about some things, and the slave is willing to explain a thing or two to the adults. ”
Immediately, Zhao Huan will be the latest cabinet movements in the palace, as well as the things prepared by the imperial court for disaster relief, and even Wang Yonghe, the secretary of the Ministry of River Works, is likely to become Yu Qian's deputy.
Wait, 1510 said.
Yu Qian frowned deeply, many things were not visible to others, but Yu Qian could see them.
The current Yu Qian is no longer the Yu Qian when Yang Shiqi went to power.
In the past few years, Yu Qian has devoted himself to Hebei, repairing and repairing water conservancy in Hebei, measuring mounds, relocating displaced people, rebuilding the Yellow Book, and so on.
In addition to being busy with these things, Yu Qian also reflected on himself again and again.
His insight into politics deepened.
After listening to this, his first feeling was: "The gap between Your Majesty and Cao Shoufu is too deep." ”
The best thing about the relationship between Zhu Qizhen and Cao Nai was when the Hebei Water Conservancy was built, and Cao Nai spared no effort to support Zhu Qizhen in this matter. left a good impression on Zhu Qizhen.
But now, it seems to be the same as before, but it is actually very different, the matter of the Yellow River breaking, Cao Nai made the emperor compromise with him.
But Yu Qian has followed Zhu Qizhen for so many years, how can he not know what kind of person Zhu Qizhen is.
It seems to be easy to speak, but the insistence in my heart is very deep. Cao Nai used natural disasters to pull Zhu Qizhen's mind into internal affairs, not to think about fighting with the tile spurs.
Doomed.
As long as Yu Qian knew that Zhu Qizhen, who was only a teenager at the time, was so concerned about the conquest of the thorns, and now he has enough wings and armor. Even if the Empress Dowager is resurrected, it is estimated that she will not be able to stop this big war. 、
If Cao Nai has been opposing this matter, I am afraid that nothing good will end.
Yu Qian was a little worried in his heart, but then he secretly laughed at himself, what do you want to do so much?
Now the relationship between Cao Nai and Yu Qian is no longer the political ally that was closely united at the beginning, although Yang Puren is no longer there, but he was appointed governor of Zhili by Yu Qian, and the cabinet members have always insisted on it.
Without him, the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty, who makes Yu Qian's prestige too high, and the saint is too strong, although Yu Qian can enter the cabinet and replace any scholar, and with the relationship between Yu Qian and Zhu Qizhen, he can immediately grasp the real power.
Unlike some bachelors who have just entered the cabinet, they are actually sitting on the cold bench.
In this case, Cao Nai didn't want Yu Qian to enter Beijing, Cao Nai supported Yu Qian to take deep roots in the governor of Zhili, and Zhu Qizhen gave Yu Qian a lot of ideas to do.
But the higher Yu Qian's prestige in Hebei, the more he is a Buddha, and the position of the cabinet will only get farther and farther, not closer.
The two who sincerely cooperated on Hebei Water Conservancy at the beginning now only have nodding friends.
