Chapter 703: Ning's widow
After leaving the palace, Zhao Qingshan told Chai Liang about all matters, and finally said: "Wen Xiao, the old man knows that you govern the "Zuo Chuan", and believe that good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose the master to do things. However, the posture of the prince, Wen Xiao should have seen it. The old man once disliked Jia Qingchen very much, thinking that this son killed too much, blindly attached to the first emperor, and no one had a subordinate backbone. But for the sake of the king, the prince can kill decisively, but he is sympathetic to the suffering of the people, the ancient sage, nothing more than this. When Yuan Fu was there, he once said to the old man: 'The talent of filial piety, even more than you and me, will be able to inherit the new law.' The old man thought so. β
Chai Liang smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, Taifu, I am very happy to see the prince like this." Come to think of it, before the first emperor left, he must have learned who the prince was, so he wrote the edict of succession with peace of mind. The first emperor once said with the present that the prince is extremely similar to me. β
Zhao Qingshan didn't like to listen to this, and said solemnly: "Prince Rende, what kind of emperor?" β
Chai Liang smiled dumbly in his heart, knowing that Zhao Qingshan was completely convinced by the crown prince, he didn't want to argue much, time will tell.
There's nothing wrong with that, though.
I really want to put on a faint king, or a martial king......
Then the new party is really going to be in a catastrophe.
Chai Liang arched his hand and said: "Taifu cherishes, the next official will go to Shandong." β
Seeing this, Zhao Qingshan slowly bowed his head, and repeatedly admonished: "Wenxiao, be diligent in the king's affairs!" β
Chai Liang couldn't help but smile and nodded, and said, "Taifu rest assured, there is nothing difficult about this trip." β
With that, he bowed and turned to leave.
β¦β¦
Yongning Fang, Zhao Mansion.
After Zhao Qingshan and Chai Liang separated, they returned in an official sedan chair.
He is now the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is the crown prince and the prince of the country.
The treatment naturally soared.
Maybe it was because I changed the official sedan chair that I wasn't recognized when I went home.
Looking at the procession of carriages, horses, mules, and sedan chairs that still can't see the end of the street from the corner of the street from the front of the Zhao Mansion, looking at the number of officials wearing vermilion purple official robes gathered under the gatehouse, and then looking at the eldest son Zhao Wei who was surrounded in the middle, Zhao Qingshan's face sank like water.
The official sedan chair slowly stepped forward amid some accusations and cut in line, until it was still a stone's throw away from the main entrance, and it was completely unable to enter.
Compared with the bleak scene when he was demoted out of Beijing, the traffic at this moment made Zhao Qingshan unable to suppress the anger in his heart.
After he got out of the official sedan chair, he immediately caused a sensation.
Originally, countless high-ranking officials or celebrities and scholars in the capital gathered under the Zhaofu Gate, and they came forward one after another.
There are also those who are more obedient, scolding the sedan chair driver who is blocking the road, while directing the person to move the road and respectfully invite Motosuke to go home.
It's just that in the midst of countless greetings, Zhao Qingshan, who was in the limelight, became more and more gloomy, and his eyes gradually became sharper.
The visitors slowly closed their mouths, thinking of the temperament of the person in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps.
Zhao Qingshan's eldest son, Zhao Wei, seemed to be worried that his father would offend people too much, so he wanted to come forward to play a round, and just knelt down to ask for peace, he heard the voice of the old father: "Kneel, I don't tell you to get up, so I keep kneeling." β
The pious smile on Zhao Wei's face froze immediately......
Zhao Qingshan didn't pay attention to him anymore, and he didn't consider that the eldest son was already in his thirties, and in a few years, he would be able to be a grandfather.
He glared, swept over the officials, and slowly spoke, "Are you letting go now?" Is it a day of rest? On weekdays, you complain about the heavy work every day and have no time to sleep, you are so tired? β
Xu Zi, an official of the Ministry of Industry, relied on Zhao Qingshan's protΓ©gΓ©, and said with a smile: "Isn't this specially here to welcome Yuanfu back to Beijing......
"Fart!!"
Zhao Qingshan burst into foul language in front of hundreds of officials, and scolded angrily: "One by one, they are idle, lazy, perfunctory on official business, and they have to get by!" I tell you, there will be no more such days. From tomorrow, all officials and officials will begin to inspect Beijing for a period of three months, but all those who delay their work and rely on obscurity to get through the customs will be deposed! I have been a good accommodator for a hundred years, and the most important thing is that there is no shortage of people who want to be officials. As he spoke, he pointed to the line of people who were about to register the gift slip at the concierge and held the red book, and his voice became more and more stern, and said: "I complain every day that the salary is too low and not enough to support my family, what is going on?" There are too many preferential fields in the name, or is it corruption and bribery? Put all those gift slips away, go back and check them one by one, and see where they got so much silver! β
Hold a big!
There are still people who do this......
The officials who came to visit were bluffed one by one, and Zhao Wei, who was kneeling on the ground, was about to shed tears.
Who can be an official for a lifetime?
Even if he can be a lifelong servant, who can guarantee that the saints will not fade?
Once he is rejected by the Son of Heaven, how miserable the end is, is Ning Zechen's lesson from the past, is it far away?
When Ning Zechen was popular, the scene was more than twice as big as the Zhao family.
At that time, even the prince of the clan had to give gifts to his family.
But look at it now, Ning Zechen's body has been put away for so long, and it hasn't been buried.
After death, he didn't say anything, he didn't even have a family member by his side, so he was alone there.
Ning Zechen is okay, but the Son of Heaven is disgusted.
can be according to his Lao Tzu's style, once the saint declines, even Ning Zechen is not as good.
There is no need for the Son of Heaven to do it at all, and the officials present today can tear the Zhao family apart from top to bottom.
He can not be afraid, but he is really frightened!
And the officials in front of the Zhao family no longer care about the official status and etiquette, and they all want to become scuds, how quickly and how quickly they will disappear from this old killing billet.
Whoever fucks climbs the door of Zhao's house again, who is a big sand sculpture!!
When the male guests were almost gone, Zhao Qingshan's eyes fell on the sedan chair that was obviously an official guest, and his brows became more and more furrowed.
But he didn't have another seizure, he couldn't believe in the virtue of his children and grandchildren, but he still trusted the integrity of his old wife.
Leave these things to her.
Zhao Qingshan glanced at Zhao Wei, who was pale, again, and after snorting angrily, he turned back to the official sedan chair, passed the door, and left Yongning Fang.
β¦β¦
Xingdaofang, Ningfu.
The first one.
This was once the most powerful place in the entire Daqian, and there was not even one of them at its peak......
Here, countless talents from all over the world have gathered to jointly support the great cause of the new law!
Here, a new law concept was born that benefited billions of trillions of Lishu.
Here, there used to be a loyal and filial son, a Spring and Autumn giant who will surely leave his name in history!
When Zhao Qingshan's official sedan chair fell from the gate of Ning Mansion and saw the white hanging in front of the cold door, he had already burst into tears.
Motosuke!!
Pushing away the support of his entourage, Zhao Qingshan's face sank when he saw that there were four brocade-clothed captains in front of the Ning Mansion.
However, when he noticed that the four captains were tied with hemp ropes around their waists, their faces softened again, and they asked, "Why are you here?" β
A captain had already stepped forward to salute and said, "Go back to the old pavilion, and serve us at a humble level...... It is the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, day and night to guard the soul of Wenzhong Gong. The lowly rank was lowly and did not dare to enter, so they could only stand guard outside the door and wait for the night to burn paper. He didn't know Zhao Qingshan, but he knew the cool umbrella behind Zhao Qingshan's official sedan chair, and only the ministers were qualified to equip it.
When Zhao Qingshan heard this, his eyes paused on the captain, and then he saw that there was indeed a copper basin under the gatehouse, and there were still some embers after the burning of paper money in the basin.
He nodded slowly, because of the identity of the other party's Son of Heaven, he didn't say much, but he had a lot of feelings in his heart.
Before Yuansuke's death, I don't know how many protΓ©gΓ©s stayed here day and night, just to see Yuanfu.
But now, the one who guards his soul is actually Jinyiwei......
Without waiting for Zhao Qingshan to think too much, he heard the lieutenant say again: "Your Excellency, earlier today, the Duchess and Miss Wenzhong have returned to the house, and the last day of the post can be returned to the guard. β
Zhao Qingshan was shocked when he heard this, and said faintly excitedly: "Really? β
After asking, without waiting for the lieutenant to answer, he strode inside.
How dare that captain tell a lie......
If it is a family with strict etiquette, the inner family, especially the widow, will never be able to see a foreign man.
But Zhao Qingshan and Ning Zechen have a good relationship with each other, and they do not avoid the transfer.
Jing Ning Zechen's wife Xiao is like a sister-in-law and a mother, and today I learned that the widowed sister-in-law and niece have returned, how can I not see it?
From the entrance to the front hall of the mourning hall, the old lady of Ningfu had already passed the word inside.
When he arrived at the mourning hall, Zhao Qingshan saw Xiao and Ning Zechen's beloved daughter Ning Yuyao, mother and daughter, their faces full of sorrow.
Xiao Shi is even more like an old man of more than ten years, described as withered and thin, where is there still the shadow of the gentle and virtuous, soft-spoken and soft-spoken Jiangnan woman who always likes to persuade Yuanfu and him to rest early, and the night is dark?
Zhao Qingshan's eyes were red, and he bowed and said, "Sister-in-law! Brother, he ...... "At this point, it's hard to choke up."
How could he bear to say to the Shaw who described him as having withered to the point that his brother was forced to commit suicide?
On the bright side, Emperor Chongkang still gave Ning Zechen a high evaluation, and Wen Zhong's words were also very high-level.
Perhaps, it would be better for them to hide from the Xiao mother and daughter......
Zhao Qingshan looked up at the Xiao family with a blank expression, and said with a forced smile: "Sister-in-law, I just came out of the palace today, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince informed me that the Heavenly Family is discussing to let Yuanfu be worthy of enjoying the Taimiao!" From then on, day and night, I will be sacrificed by heavenly incense! His Royal Highness said that the merits of Yuan Fu, the merits of the present generation, and the benefits of the future, will be remembered by the great Qianyi trillion Li Shu! It is also said that the new law created by Yuanfu is a method that is not easy for eternity! β
As Zhao Qingshan's words spoke, the faces of the mournful Xiao mother and daughter finally gradually changed.
Xiao's eyes fell on Zhao Qingshan's face, and he asked in a hoarse trembling voice, "Su Qing, is it really ...... Really? β
Zhao Qingshan nodded again and again, and said, "Brother, dare to deceive your sister-in-law?" β
Xiao Shi looked at Zhao Qingshan for a while, as if he believed it, but then hesitated: "However, I heard that the current prince is ...... There is a grudge against the master, and ...... and the New Party, the hatred is as deep as the sea......"
"Nothing else!!"
Zhao Qingshan categorically vetoed: "This is a person who harbors evil intentions, and he confuses the public with evil words!" Sister-in-law Xu didn't know that if it weren't for the prince's insistence on the new law pioneered by Yuanfu, the imperial court would have been occupied by the martial arts and soldiers. Before the return of the sister-in-law and the virtuous nephew, the prime minister's mansion was the person who burned the paper for the Yuanfu guard, and the prince personally arranged it. The younger brother came back today and found out that if it wasn't for the prince's personal arrangement, he would be ...... brother."
Hearing this, Xiao Shi nodded slowly, her face looked much better, but she looked at Zhao Qingshan again and asked, "Su Qing, you tell me the truth, is it really the prince who wants to invite the master's spiritual position to enjoy the temple?" If there is such a discussion, I will never know the gift, and the world has already praised it, so that my mother and son will not suffer so many warm and cold ......"
Xiao Shi took the posture of the eldest sister-in-law, stopped Zhao Qingshan's anger and wanted to be held responsible, and shouted: "You reply to me first." β
Zhao Qingshan forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and was stared at by the Xiao family, how could he still have the prestige of being the first assistant of the cabinet and the crown prince who was about to take charge of the entire empire, like a young brother who made a mistake in front of his mother and eldest sister, his eyes dodged left and right, but he still told the truth, and said, "Yes...... It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was begging for him......" Seeing Xiao's face change suddenly, he hurriedly remedied: "The prince also agrees, those words are really what the prince said, and there is absolutely no falsehood!" β
When Xiao Shi heard this, he sighed and said, "You are confused! Is there any reason for such a thing for a courtier to ask? When you turn around, you will go back to the prince, and you don't want to enjoy the temple, my family can't afford this glory, and I can't even harm you because of this matter. Su Qing, you are not unreasonable, when this matter spreads, where can you afford to be criticized? Even the old man followed and fell into the laughing stock! You go and make a change of request, just as I'm a sister-in-law, and I beg you for one thing at the end! β
"Mother......
Ning Yuyao, who was extremely emaciated, hugged Xiao's arm and cried and begged.
Hearing the resolute meaning in Xiao's words, Zhao Qingshan was even more stunned, and said loudly: "Sister-in-law!" Don't ......"
Xiao Shi shook his head and said: "I know that my body and bones can't hold on, and I don't worry about the old man being alone, without my care, he can even forget to eat, and he doesn't even know how to change his clothes, and he will be unkempt." can't end up with a 'even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost'......"
Without giving Zhao Qingshan and Ning Yuyao a chance to speak, Xiao Shi said to Zhao Qingshan: "You, like the master, are people who do great things in the country, I can't believe it, so I can't entrust Yao'er." Over the years, the people of the Ganxining clan have not benefited from the master, but have suffered a lot of losses due to the new law, hating us more and welcoming us less. When the funeral of the old man came, everyone avoided it and could not be trusted.
Yao'er's thoughts, I know. It wasn't possible before, but now it'......
Su Qing, whether you deserve to enjoy the Taimiao or not is useless in my family. The only thing that the master and I can't rest assured about is Yao'er.
When the son of the Qing Dynasty entered the Qujiang River and chanted 'If life is only as first seen', this stupid girl lost her heart.
Later, because of her brother's business...... It's been a bad time all these years.
Now it's okay, since the prince is generous and kind, not only did he not hold a grudge against the lord for suppressing him back then, but also set up a mourning hall for the lord, took care of the aftermath for the lord, and guarded the spirit for the lord......
Is this providential?
Su Qing, I want to send Yao'er into the palace. β
"Sister-in-law!"
Zhao Qingshan changed when he heard this, and he couldn't understand the woman's brain circuit.
That's worthy of enjoying the temple!
It is the highest courtesy of people and ministers since ancient times, and it is the glory of the world!
Just send your daughter to the palace instead?
Is that a good place in the palace?
Xiao Shi looked at Ning Zechen's coffin, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, but a light smile appeared on his face, and said, "Su Qing, you still don't know your brother. Is power really that important to him? If he had been bent on seizing power, he would not have come to this point. In the letter he left me, the most reassuring thing is not his posthumous name, but Yao'er! He also knows Yao'er's thoughts......"
Zhao Qingshan's face was greatly moved when he heard this, his eyes were red and he looked at Xiao Shi, then at Ning Zechen's coffin, nodded and said, "Okay!" Tomorrow, tomorrow's brother will enter the palace, give up his old face, and ask for a place for his niece! ! β

PS: Let's talk about it, a book, different readers will always interpret it differently, there are praises and scoldings, which is normal. I worked hard in the middle of the night and didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and it wasn't just for the manuscript fee, I always felt that there was a responsibility, and I had to be worthy of the book friends who spent money to read books. These book friends feel that some places are not satisfactory, and I admit two sentences of criticism and two sentences of scolding. When people go to a restaurant and spend money to eat, they feel that the food is not palatable, and they can't help but let people say a few words, right? But some people who read the white book are a little disagreeable with you, and you also come to scold at length, just scold once, and one paragraph after another, and say that you are in a bad mood, and I am not in a good mood. You just be my glass heart, stay away from my book review area, okay? If you don't subscribe, you can scold you in this chapter, and I feel better. Convex!
