"What Mr. said is true, the disciple really wants to ask, why did Mr. let Zihou take the Qingxi girl into the gate of the Thousand Households? The disciple knew that Mr. must be thinking about the disciple, but the disciple was stupid and couldn't think of the deep meaning of this move. ”

In order not to make Song Yan look up uncomfortable, Jia Cong squatted on the ground and looked up at Song Yan and said sincerely.

Seeing his filial piety, Song Yan's eyes became more and more kind, he trembled his hands, stroked his white beard, his eyes seemed to fall into memory, and asked, "Does Cong'er know Wang Zhining?" ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he thought for a while and said: "What Mr. said, but is the leader of Zhenyuan for three years, and Mr. Frame Fu, who later served as Jiangnan Xuezheng?" ”

There have been many sessions of the Great Cadre, and Jia Cong naturally can't remember them all, but he still remembers each Sanding Jia.

Song Yan nodded and said, "It's this gentleman, can Cong'er know his fate?" ”

Song Yan first used a "this gentleman" to honor Wang Zhining, and then used "end" to describe his ending, which shows that this person has a noble character and an excellent official reputation, but the ending is miserable.

After Jia Cong shook his head, Song Yan sighed and said, "In the twenty-fourth year of Zhenyuan, the Khalkha Mongols in the northern part of the Great Qian, colluded with the Erros Rakshasa to rebel and besiege the Han army stationed in the border. After the beacon fire was transmitted back to Shenjing, the government and the opposition were shocked, and King Wu was furious, gathered a large army, and vowed to wipe out Mongolia and kill the Rakshasa ghosts who entered the country.

This is also good intentions, for the dignity and decency of the country. It's just that......

The six major expeditions of the Zhenyuan Dynasty have long since exhausted the silver of Taicang.

Although every expedition was a glorious victory and outstanding military achievements, the consumption of military salaries, grain and grass and the weight of post-war rewards pressed the people of the world to breathe hard.

However, the glory of King Wu is too strong, and he has the name of being a teacher, so few people in the government and the opposition dare to object.

Only Wang Zhining ......"

Hearing this, Jia Cong seemed to understand Qingxi's identity, so he listened to Song Yan continue: "Wang Zhining was a Jiangnan scholar at the time, and he witnessed the withering of the people in Jiangnan, which should be the world's first-class prosperous resort, and the people suffered unspeakably for the tax burden that increased every time, and even sold their sons and daughters. Therefore, it is true that he wrote a letter and asked the imperial court to delay the conquest of Khalkha. He also gave an admonition, asking the imperial court to abandon Mobei Mongolia and allow it to be nominally bound by the imperial court and become independent in substance. In this way, the collusion between the Khalkha Mongols and the Eros Rakshasa will inevitably be self-defeating, and they will turn against each other. Because the Mongols want to defend their own territory......

Wang Zhining also said that the land of Monan was thousands of miles away from the Guannai, and it was extremely bitterly cold, and there were not many people except the garrison and the exiled sinners. The garrison of a large army there, except for the empty consumption of the country, has no benefit. Every year, the people send grain to Zasaktu, and countless people die of illness, starvation, and freezing along the way, which is really a bad government.

So ......"

Jia Cong saw that Song Yan seemed to be difficult to continue, so he said: "King Wu was powerful in the world at that time, and it was even more rare that he was also with Emperor Zhenyuan's monarchs and ministers, father and son were on a blind date, not a prince, but a prince. Mr. Frame Fu admonished him bluntly, afraid that it would anger King Wu, and it would also anger Zhen Yuan Xun Gui, who was seeking military merits, and even Emperor Zhen Yuan would not be happy.

Emperor Zhenyuan received the name of opening up the territory in the first generation, and he must still want to leave the reputation of the holy monarch in future generations, how can he tolerate the humiliation of cutting the land and losing the teacher? ”

Song Yan sighed again and said: "That's it, Wang Zhining's reputation is all over the south of the Yangtze River, even in Shenjing City, the government and the opposition are also praised. Only this time, his words seem to have committed such a great rebellious sin, and Zhu Zi of the Manchu Dynasty should be beheaded...... When he was a teacher, he was in the Hanlin Academy, and many nobles and nobles were also excited, and they all said that Wang Zhining should be punished.

Those who can do for the teacher can only keep silent.

As a result, Wang Zhining's father and son were beheaded and abandoned at the entrance of the vegetable market, and their wives and daughters were all locked up in the Jiaofang Division for sale.

Wang Zhining's wife, eldest daughter, and daughter-in-law committed suicide by hanging from the beam, which was extremely tragic!

Only a three-year-old girl was left......"

"Is it Qingxi?"

Jia Cong asked with a solemn face.

Song Yan did not answer directly, but said: "After Wang Zhining's death, King Wu gathered 100,000 troops and 300,000 people to prepare for the expedition, and Taicang had no silver, so he allowed the rich families in the world to donate silver to buy officials, and the rule of officials collapsed since then." However, there was still a vacancy of two million taels, and it was finally made up by the eight major salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.

King Wu obtained this military resource, and Fang Yi led 100,000 iron cavalry to chase the dead to the north, and defeated the Khalkha Mongol and Erros coalition armies, and in one fell swoop, he reached the peace of the northern frontier of Daqian for 20 years.

But...... After the triumph of the army, the heroes were sealed, the army was rewarded, the soldiers who died in the battle were burned and buried the silver, and money was asked everywhere!

Taicang has no silver, so it can only increase taxes again and again.

At that time, if it weren't for the great cadres' martial arts being too prosperous, I am afraid that they would really be smoked everywhere!

King Wu returned to Shenjing and changed dramatically, but it subsided overnight, Emperor Zhenyuan abdicated, and King Wu imprisoned himself, I am afraid that it is all for the sake of the Liu family.

At that time, there were really countless people who broke their homes and destroyed their families, and the country was turbulent, and it was dangerous.

It was also at that time that the government and the opposition remembered Wang Zhining's advice, and they knew his loyalty!

Although it was Emperor Taishang and King Wu who punished and convicted Wang Zhining, the case could not be overturned. But Jiangnan Shilin still tried his best to treat Wang Zhining's young daughter well, and took him back to Jiangnan from the Duzhong Teaching Division, only because it was difficult to get rid of the lowly nationality, so he was raised in Wangjiang Pavilion and named Qingxi. ”

Jia Cong seemed to understand, and said with a wry smile: "The Emperor Taishang and the Martial King are still here, Zhen Yuan Xungui is still in charge of the military aircraft, no one dares to take in Qingxi, even if she redeems herself, no one can withstand the pressure of overturning the case for Wang Zhining, so she found a disciple?" Anyway, the disciple is not afraid to bite if there are many lice! ”

Song Yan smiled and said: "Wang Zhining's former protégé is now Ying Tianfu Tongzhi He Zhu, as early as when the news of you going south came, he came to my door to inform me about this matter......"

Saying that, Song Yan looked at Jia Cong.

Jia Cong was stunned when he heard this, looked at Song Yan, and said, "Sir, didn't Mr. mention this matter?" ”

Song Yan shook his head slowly, and saw that Jia Cong's face gradually became solemn.

Song Yan asked, "What do you think?" ”

Jia Cong frowned, shook his head and said, "If this matter is proposed by Mr., the disciple will naturally not think about anything. But ......"

Song Yan looked at Jia Cong's young age, but he was so sensitive and cautious when encountering things, he was a little distressed in his state of mind, paused, and reminded: "Cong'er think about it again, have you missed something?" ”

When Jia Cong heard this, he naturally decided that there must be something wrong with this matter. As for omissions......

He carefully recalled from the beginning, and all the way down, he didn't find any loopholes.

Looking at Song Yan again, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Sir, who brought the Qingxi girl from the capital to Jiangnan?" ”

Old Song Yan smiled with relief, nodded and praised: "Not bad, not bad." Praise said: "It was He Zhu and others, Bai Shijie, the head of the Bai family in Yangzhou Prefecture, and Wangjiang Pavilion was the Bai family's industry." ”

Jia Cong: "......"

Song Yan said with a solemn face: "Bai Shijie is a hero. The heads of the Bai family for several generations are all heroes.

It is very bold and has the means.

Several times, he almost went bankrupt to contribute to the royal family, helped and rescued his peers, and had an excellent reputation in Jiangnan.

From the heavenly family to the clan to the nobles and then to the Jiangnan officialdom, the Bai family can be connected. ”

Jia Cong nodded, looked at Song Yan, blinked and then suddenly smiled, and said, "Mr. knows the disciple's mind?" ”

Song Yan saw that he was rare to be cunning and naughty, and said with a tolerant smile: "The breaking point is still excellent, although the Bai family has a deep background and seems to be impeccable, but after all, no one in the Bai family is in the officialdom." The imperial court did not allow the children of salt merchants to enter the imperial examination, so in the end, they were just businessmen. Compared with the Jiangnan giant family of scholars, it is indeed easy to start. But don't take it lightly......"

Jia Cong nodded, and asked suspiciously: "That Qingxi? ”

Song Yan sighed and said, "Cong'er has never seen Wang Zhining, and I don't know his demeanor. Don't think that he is only pedantic and tough, and if he did, he would not have thought of a plan to make the Khalkha Mongols and the Oros Rakshasa infighting. The eyes of the list back then, but the limelight is not inferior to the champion Xie Qiong, which can be called peerless!

He died for the sake of the great cadres, his deeds are respectable, and his heart is ...... Even more precious!

The teacher did not want to let his last trace of blood become a victim in the struggle for power. ”

Jia Cong saw that Song Yan's face was sad, and even with self-blame, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Sir, don't worry, even if the disciple doesn't know about this public case, he will never do anything to a poor woman."

As long as she keeps to herself and doesn't do anything beyond the norm, when the disciple finishes solving the Jiangnan matter, she will find a good way out.

The disciples are taught by the master and respect the faithful. ”

Song Yan nodded and said, "I've seen that girl, she is a knowledgeable and very spiritual person. Frame Fu Ruo is still ...... That's it, let's not talk about that. As the teacher is really old, the road ahead, you have to walk steadily, walk right, and live up to your heart. ”

Jia Cong got up, straightened his clothes, and bowed down and said, "The disciple respectfully follows the teachings of Mr. ”

Raised his head and said, "Sir, the disciple is going to Yangzhou the day after tomorrow, so he won't come to say goodbye." ”

Everyone in Song Yanshi naturally understood Jia Cong's distress, nodded, and said, "It should be important to focus on big things. After thinking about it, he said: "Your three senior brothers, your qualifications are not high, and your spiritual cultivation is also ...... In the future, if they have an unjust request, you should know what to do. Teachers have always taught you, it is not a good thing to be a teacher and to seek perfection for others, and you will not be happy for a teacher, do you understand the meaning of being a teacher? ”

Seeing Song Yan's old eyes staring at him, Jia Cong's eyes were hot, and he quickly lowered his head, and when he raised it again, it had returned to normal, and he smiled and comforted: "Sir, don't worry, the disciple has taught you a lot, don't you even know this?" However, the disciple believes in himself and will definitely find a good way to get the best of both worlds.

Mr. Spring and Autumn is already high, there is really no need to spend energy and mind on such trivial things, you should believe in the disciple's ability! ”

Song Yan nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, okay...... Trust you. Let's go, go inside and have a look, your master often talks about you. ”

……

At the second moment of Shen, after a sumptuous but not luxurious feast, Jia Cong and all the maids said goodbye to the people of the Song Sect and returned to the Thousand Households.

Jia Cong treated the three brothers Song Xian, Song Yuan, and Song Ye indifferently for their officialdom to woo them, as well as the "resentment" of the three wives about their treatment and the half-serious naughtiness of seeking justice for their children by the way.

Looking at Song Yan, who had never heard of it, but was actually a little helpless, Jia Cong sighed in his heart, strange that so many talented emperors couldn't handle family affairs, and with Song Yan's wisdom, he had nowhere to start with this place.

But I don't know, what will happen to him in the future?

The carriage passed the second gate, and looking at Baochai, Ping'er and others who came out under the corridor of the main room, Jia Cong suddenly smiled.

The ancients taught: marry a wife and marry a virtuous person.

Jia Cong thought that he would be able to do this!
