Chapter Eighty-Four: Letters
The dead branches of the big trees in the courtyard have budded, and the birds can be heard from time to time, and the warm spring day makes people can't help but take off their heavy winter clothes.
Lu Zhai study.
Qian Yuan, who had been standing for a while, looked at Lu Shusheng who was staring intently at the calligraphy, speechlessly, "Boss, boss?" ”
"What's the noise!" Lu Shu didn't raise his head and reprimanded: "Do you still want the old man to come up with a few ruthless partners?" ”
Qian Yuan had no choice but to keep silent, but he couldn't help but slander, is this an epitaph written for my father!
The matter between the Qian family and the Xiang family has ended, and most of the people of the Qian clan are gloating, and in the end, Lu Shusheng wrote a letter to the Xiang family, and Xiang Dushou replied that he was ashamed, and specially went to ask Wen Zhengming to write an epitaph of Qian Rui.
Wen Zhengming is one of the few people in the world, and he can write an epitaph, I have to say that the Xiang family's apology is quite generous.
After seeing this epitaph, Lu Shusheng, who had only begun to study calligraphy in middle age, was fascinated, and he didn't even bother to review the eight-strand text sent by Qian Yuan.
If the literati of this era did not have a smooth career and recited poems, countless people in the Tang and Song dynasties were overwhelmed, so they often chose calligraphy to pass on to future generations.
However, Qian Yuan didn't have this kind of thought, and after waiting for a while, he saw that Old Man Lu was still figuring out the copybook, so he simply put down the three articles and eight shares, turned around and went out.
"Young Master." Zhang San beckoned from afar and ran over with a puff of smoke, "The letter from the capital, and the newspaper that just arrived." ”
Ignoring Zhang San, who wanted to say something, Qian Yuan took the letter and put it away, sat on the stone bench in the front yard and opened the newspaper first.
After a quick glance, Qian Yuan couldn't help but shake his head slightly, but then nodded again.
Lu Bo and Tang Kekuan were all pushed to the end, but they were ordered to temporarily replace their original positions and make meritorious contributions.
Peng Di, the governor of Zhejiang, was imprisoned.
Tu Dashan, the governor of Yingtian, was transferred to the governor of Zhejiang and the commander of military affairs.
Cao Bangfu, the former deputy envoy of Henan, was promoted to the governor of Yingtian and the commander of military affairs.
Peng Huang should be in prison, whether he will die or not depends on whether he is willing to contribute in the same year, but Qian Yuan estimates that he is enough.
Cao Bangfu came, and Lu Bo and Tang Kekuan at least did not go to prison, which is a good thing.
But the most important person, Zhang Jing, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, was still not released.
It can only be said that the good and the bad are mixed.
"Tu Dashan?" Qian Yuan frowned and muttered a few times, he was very unfamiliar with this name, and he had no impression in his past and present lives, as if he was the former squire of the Nanjing Military Department, and Peng Dian took over as the governor of Yingtian after he was transferred.
After pondering in his heart, Qian Yuan opened another letter, and it should not be a coincidence that Zhang Juzheng's letter and Di Bao arrived at the same time.
Qian Yuan always thought that Zhang Ju was a talker, and it was true, this guy wrote five pieces of paper.
It seems that Zhang Juzheng is not in a good mood, it should be said that he wrote it under anger, there is a sense of anger between the lines, and even the font is tense.
"The DPRK and China are the only ones who can rely on Shuangjiang Gong, but they are quite restrained, and the public sentiment is turbulent, and the court discussion is only a mediocre ......"
Clamped?
Who else can be restrained, there are not many candidates who can overwhelm the military department in military opinions, only the two in the cabinet.
The Mean of the Courts...... This is to say that eighty percent of the final outcome is the result of compromise between the two sides.
After carefully reading it three times, Qian Yuan put away the letterhead, took the tea cup that Zhang San brought up, and bent his fingers to tap on the stone table.
It seems that the court, at least Emperor Jiajing, was biased towards Xu Jie's opinion on the matter of resisting the Japanese in the southeast, which did not match Qian Yuan's impression.
However, this is the case, originally Wang Chen's appointment as the governor of Zhejiang can be said to be hand-picked by Jiajing, but then Peng Dian is the same year as Xu Jie, and now his successor Tu Dashan is also the same year as Xu Jie, and Jiajing is a jinshi in the second year.
Thinking about it, Songjiang Mansion is the key target of the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and Emperor Jiajing's idea is nothing more than that you Xu Jie, you must always think about your hometown.
It's a pity that Xu Jie, at least the current Xu Jie, will only think about himself, and replacing Yan Song is his only goal for a long time.
Zhang Juzheng mentioned in the letter that he recommended those characters to Nie Bao, the secretary of the military department...... Qian Yuan smacked his lips, I didn't hear that this guy had anything to do with Nie Bao.
Nie Bao suggested that Zhang Jing be transferred to the governor of Zhejiang and the commander of military affairs, but as soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused the opposition of Yan Song and Xu Jie, and their reason was that Zhang Jing was now the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, and the transfer to the governor of Zhejiang was derogatory and did not conform to the rules.
The final result was that Xu Jie recommended Tu Dashan to be promoted to governor of Zhejiang in the same year, and Nie Bao reluctantly recommended Cao Bangfu to take over as governor of Yingtian.
However, Qi Jiguang's transfer only needs to go to the military department, and there is no need for a court meeting, so it was passed smoothly.
However, the position is a bit low, and Qi Jiguang, the former commander of Dengzhou Wei, was transferred to the Zhejiang Command Division and served as a guerrilla.
The guerrillas are under the generals and can't be in charge alone, this is a pity, Qian Yuan thought to himself, with Qi Jiguang's ability, he should be able to stand out soon.
Qian Yuan sighed secretly, he had been in this era for more than a year, and he hadn't seen the evil of Yan Song, a famous white-faced traitor in history, but he had seen the evil of the famous minister Xu Jie.
He only cared about sticking to his position of power, desperately climbing up, and completely did not consider the evil consequences of the anti-Japanese situation once it was eroded.
"Young master, young master?"
Zhang San interrupted Qian Yuan's contemplation and whispered, "Young Master, the caravan to Taizhou is back. ”
"A caravan to Taizhou?" Qian Yuan was stunned for a moment before he reacted, it was the caravan that brought the medicinal materials to his uncle Tan Lun, "It's been almost two months, why is it so long?" ”
"Hey, don't mention it, the goods were robbed by the Japanese before they arrived in Taizhou." Zhang San grinned, "I went to forty or fifty, and I came back twenty." ”
"The trade routes are cut off?"
"Yes, the owner of the caravan came to ask for a meeting, and that batch of medicinal materials is worth a lot of money." Zhang San asked tentatively: "The villain looks at that guy crying miserably, or ......"
"There are so many dead and wounded, owe it." Qian Yuan didn't care about this, the Taicang royal family sent a batch of dividends and silver after the New Year, and the Qian family is not short of money at present.
After thinking about it, Qian Yuan asked again: "Where were they robbed?" ”
"Those who were robbed in Yiwu are not peaceful over there."
The area of Jinhua in Yiwu is considered to be in the middle of Zhejiang, and then to the west to the Huizhou Mansion in Nanzhili, and the situation in Zhejiang is becoming more and more erosive.
"It's better for us to Songjiang, there are General Yu soldiers stationed there."
Hearing Zhang San mention Yu Dayou, Qian Yuan's brows furrowed again, after returning from Jiaxing, he specially inquired that the situation in Zhejiang had deteriorated, and the voice of summoning Yu Dayou back to Zhejiang was getting louder and louder.
After being silent for a while, Qian Yuan asked in a low voice: "What about the trade routes to Jiaxing and Hangzhou?" ”
"It's going well." Zhang San was a little surprised, "The caravan didn't have an accident all the way to Hangzhou, and then I didn't go to Shaoxing, and went to Taizhou from Yiwu, but I didn't expect something to happen." ”
Qian Yuan got up and paced a few steps, "Yang Wen hasn't come back yet?" ”
After a year, Yang Wen went to Shandong, and so far he has only sent two incomprehensible letters back, which seems to be a bit eyebrow-raising.
"I received another letter the day before yesterday." Zhang San pouted, "That word is ugly...... Oh, I said I'll be back in a few days. ”
Through the empty window, Qian Yuan glanced at Lu Shusheng, who was still in a trance, licked his lips and thought, if it comes to the point of last resort, even if he is tied, he will kidnap this old man.
The clansman Qian Yuan is too lazy to care, Sun Chengen's father and son will not listen to him, and He Liangjun has already gone to Nanjing.
In addition to his own family and his uncle, if he wanted to take refuge in Hangzhou or Suzhou, Qian Yuan would only bring Lu Shusheng and Lu Shude brothers.
At a critical juncture, I could only leave behind those belongings and servants, more than 20 nursing homes, and five or six female dependents......
Qian Yuan felt that he needed to prepare a plan, so as not to rush around at that time.
