Chapter 1084: Wish-fulfilled
She asked, "Mrs. Lu, don't you feel at ease staying in prison, what are you looking for us?" ”
Lu Shi didn't bother to say, and said directly, "I don't want to go to Yichun Courtyard." ”
Lirong raised her eyebrows, looked at the other party and asked with a smile, "I didn't let you go, what are you looking for us to do?" Besides, why don't you want to go? You should go there, because you're Ma Wei's new side room. ”
Lu Shi said, "What should not be?" What does it have to do with me if Ma Xun committed an accident! He wants to admit me, can I resist it? Besides, there is more than one 'prison thief' who commits the crime of confiscation, and officials are disgraced by money and incorruptibility, and they are ...... during the period of worry."
Lirong interrupted, "Say, where do you want to go?" ”
"What's so good about Chang'an, I want to go back to Qianzhou, there is always my ancestral house there."
Cui Yan said, "You think beautifully! ”
"Yichun Courtyard will go to anyone with status, you are not afraid that I will not have a door on my lips and spread the scandal of the high trial in Meridian Valley to everyone?"
Cui Yan was extremely angry, and suddenly stood up and said to Lirong, "Let's go!" Whoever does what he does bears it, and it is better to let her use it to blackmail when it is outdated! Follow her to Yichun Courtyard and say, what does it have to do with our Yongning Fang! Anyway, you have to take care of it, and I'll tell Jun and Sister Liu. ”
But Lirong didn't move, Cui Yan said, "We just talked about bending the law, and the adult did a wrong thing and let her hold on, you look at her work back and forth from Qianzhou to Chang'an!" Do you want to put some more of our handles on her? ”
After hearing this, Lirong stood up, "Sister Cui Yan, what you said is reasonable, I saved her and gave someone a handle, I'm not so stupid." Besides, who would listen to a prisoner's nonsense and slander the maid of His Royal Highness the Prince, she doesn't want a whole skin! ”
The two of them didn't drink any tea, got up and walked to the door.
Lu Shi cried behind them, "Two grandmothers, I promise, from now on, I will never say anything about Meridian Valley again!" Lord Gao didn't do anything bad in Meridian Valley......"
Cui Yan turned around and said to the Lu family, "No need, just go and say it, see if anyone believes you." ”
Lirong said, "But don't get it to my ears again, huh! Otherwise, don't think about staying in Yichun Courtyard. ”
……
The Lu family, a widowed woman whose ancestral home is Duwei County, Qianzhou, went through several setbacks and tried her best to come to Chang'an, and finally got her wish and stayed in this bustling city permanently as an "insider" in Yichun Courtyard.
Ma Xun, the county governor of Duwei County, Qianzhou, successively served as the commander of Duwei County, Wulong Dujin Cheng of Pengshui County, exiled to Yazhou, carried grain bags on the dock, briefly served as the commander of the military department, the pawn of Honglu Temple, and was sentenced to death by hanging.
After this case, Li Yuanxiang, the king of Jiang'an, was arranged by the emperor to go to Wuzhou as a prince within a few days to serve as the assassin of this Zhongzhou.
As for his private use of the tribute "Ice Jade Hidden Dragon Bottle", after handing over the bottle, the emperor will no longer pursue anything else.
After Xue Li left, Li Shichang found that Gao Jun no longer mentioned the matter of the Songmo Governor's Mansion, as if the Songmo Governor's Mansion had 5,000 soldiers in the north, which was just a trivial matter.
The squire of the military department and the British prince Li Shichang originally planned to use the topic to play a role, but there was no place to stay. He didn't see that Shang Shu Ling was left without a master and in a hurry, but instead let him scare himself several times, and then logically promoted his righteous brother up two steps.
This man's writing can collapse to the edge of the sky, and I heard that the wives have to do everything for him, but his mind is abnormally meticulous.
He was far away in Chang'an, and he was able to quickly analyze the general military situation thousands of miles away just by relying on the Yingzhou military report, which was four days late, and none of the ministers raised objections.
If it was him in charge, his first reaction after receiving the military report would be to quickly arrange for a fast horse to go to the front line to further investigate the military situation, and asked Yingzhou, Liaozhou, and other places to make preparations for sending troops to deal with contingencies.
It is necessary to know that the military situation is like fire, Li Shichang thought that if the military situation was presented to Gao Jun three days later, the situation ahead would be more complicated, and it would be more difficult to speculate.
Ma Xun was unlucky enough, even if his method of stealing and exchanging the Ice Jade Hidden Dragon Bottle was a bit clumsy, if it wasn't for Gao Jun, this case might have been lurking for a longer time.
If the two sides go to war and become enemies, it is still possible for the Yamen of the Ministry of War to keep the information of the Ministry of War, but the Honglu Temple will definitely eliminate the case record quickly, and Ma Xun will escape cleanly.
As for the Honglu Temple, which had a major revelation, Li Shichang thought that after Gao Jun cleaned up Ma Xun, he would definitely investigate the responsibility of the Honglu Temple, or fine, or recall, or demote, which showed the thunderous power of Shang Shuling.
But this point also surprised Li Shixian.
Gao Jun not only did not mention the responsibilities of other officials of Honglu Temple, but also immediately asked the crown prince Li Zhi to add 30 additional posts to Honglu Temple, and one pawn was in charge of one envoy, increasing the number to three.
He said that in front of foreign envoys, every guest in Honglu Temple is the face of the Tang Dynasty, and he must be methodical, busy all day long, hitting the back of the head with his feet, losing everything and forgetting the West, not like a ceremonial officer of the Tang Dynasty, but like a miscellaneous person.
For the visitors of Honglu Temple, sometimes it is the first criterion to be leisurely and calm, dignified, meticulous and orderly.
Shang Shuling proposed that the Ministry of Officials should evaluate the conduct of the existing pawns, and those who did not meet the requirements should be replaced, and that the best of the young foreign officials should be supplemented.
In order to show the importance of the imperial court to this matter, the rank of the pawn was raised to the first class of the outside, and if there was no mistake within a year, it was promoted to the lower rank of the ninth grade.
This is undoubtedly an opportunity for those young unqualified officials, and at once it is thirty posts. At one time, the number of applicants reached four or five hundred.
Hongluqing has been worried after the Ma Xun incident, he thought that if such a case appeared, he would at least be reprimanded.
But after Shang Shuling finished mentioning the suggestion of the pawn, he never said anything about Honglu Temple.
And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince seems to have suffered from forgetfulness, and he doesn't say a word about it.
All the officials of Honglu Temple, big and small, let out a long breath, and they had a trace of indescribable and inexplicable gratitude to Shang Shuling Gao. All the faults are just that Ma Xun's, Shang Shuling knows that it is not easy for the pawn!
Li Shichang had imagined two or three other possibilities for the military situation of Song Mo, but when Gao Jun made a detailed analysis in the court, even he felt that his idea was untenable.
This matter can completely, completely be a big drama staged on the stage of Li Shixian's house, Li Shiyun even prepared his lines, thinking that he could take the initiative.
But as soon as he took out the excerpts, he asked Gao Jun to close the curtain.
In the past, every time there was something in the direction of Liaodong, whether it was His Majesty or the crown prince, he would always ask Li Shiyun for his intention first. But this time, those of his old subordinates in Yingzhou and Liaozhou have become spectators, not even tricks.
Shang Shuling never mentioned this matter again, he didn't even look at the stage more, and pushed Xue Li up to be the protagonist with his backhand, Li Shiyun was stunned for several days, and he couldn't say anything.
And after Gao Jun blew a big talk in public, he didn't mention the matter of Longxing Ranch at all, and in Li Shixian's opinion, in such a cold season, it is more and more like a joke to go to the heavily guarded Iron Urn City to take the head of the enemy general.
And the strange thing is that Li Shiyun obviously thinks it is a joke in his heart, and he still thinks of it more than once in these days.
As the days passed, it was already the tenth day of November, but there was no news from Longxing Ranch. Gao Jun was not restless, but very busy.
Li Shichang heard that Shang Shuling's father and uncle had come to Chang'an.
Shang Shuling was busy greeting and entertaining his father-in-law and uncle.
……
Yongning Fang Gaofu.
Gao Jun saw the family sent by Su Yin to deliver the news, and heard that her father, Taizhou Thorn Shi Su Yan, and her uncle, Shi Su Qian, the head of the Shunyang Palace, actually arrived at the same time.
He immediately threw down the affairs in his hand (anyway, the official has done his job, and there is no specific affairs to do, as long as the emperor or His Royal Highness the crown prince does not look for him, he is also worried about the country and the people when he lies down and sleeps), and hurried back to the mansion.
At this time, the house was organizing a family banquet to receive relatives, Xie Jinlian supported the servants to run in and out, and Su Yin also came back early, her face was full of joy, and she was no longer ignoring her father.
When Gao Jun accompanied Fan Ying to Yuhang County, he had seen Su Yan once, and when he saw him again, he found that his father-in-law's eyes were more bright than before, and his expression was also different from the past, which was very strange.
Su Jian introduced Gao Jun to his brother, although this Taizhou assassin said that he had a lot of official business in Beijing this time, and he also met a lot of friends in Chang'an, but Gao Jun saw that in fact, he came for his brother this time.
Su Miao was slightly thinner than his brother, like a scholar, not much like a long history of the prince's mansion, and after a few words of meeting, he was a little cold.
And Gao Jun didn't know anything about Su Yin's uncle, only that he was the long history of Li Tai, the king of Shunyang, so he didn't know what topics to find. So he quietly winked his eyes at Su Yin.
Su Yin secretly smiled at Gao Jun and asked her uncle, "Uncle, how long has it been since my niece has seen you, and you only came to see us at this time." ”
Su Miao then said, "Alas! King Shunyang is always a little unwell these days, and it is not good to delay the doctor and ask for medicine, I was ordered to go to Beijing to find a famous doctor for the prince! It happened that the eldest brother also arrived in Chang'an, so I asked him to take me to see my niece by the way. ”
Gao Jun asked, "Uncle, I don't know what illness King Shunyang has?" ”
Su Miao said, "Qi stagnation and internal stasis, such as choking in the throat, unable to eat, and getting thinner and thinner!" ”
Taizhou Thorn Shi said, "I remember that when King Shunyang was the king of Wei, he was wide and fat, and His Majesty the Emperor specially allowed him to take the palace car into the palace, I can't imagine it!" ”
Gao Jun knew that Li Tai, the king of Shunyang, was the fourth son of His Majesty the Emperor and one of the sons-in-law born to the eldest grandson empress.
But he also heard some meaning from Su Yan's interjection: a prince who was once favored by the emperor was almost forgotten in the fiefdom of a county, and his mood would not be much better if he thought about it.
Of course, he also saw that Su Miao's name was looking for a doctor, but he was actually running for him. But Gao Jun didn't want to take care of it, and he couldn't manage it.
He knew very well that the royal family was taboo about ministers befriending the prince privately, and Li Zhi was already the crown prince, and if he reached out between their brothers, Li Zhi would not be too happy.
Su Yin was very curious in front of the elders, and asked there, "How can this be?" ”
But Su Miao seemed to have seen Gao Jun's attitude and hesitated to say it.
At this time, the wine and food were all arranged, Xie Jinlian came over to invite everyone to take a seat, just listened to the end of the conversation, and also asked, "Uncle, since this King of Shunyang and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are brothers, what else can be unsatisfactory!" No matter how unsatisfactory the prince is, how can the common people live! ”
Everyone took their seats, and Liu Yuru and others diligently persuaded them to drink, and they delayed what Su Qiannu was trying to say.
Liu Yuru asked, "When I saw my uncle, he was polite, no wonder Sister Su also looked like an official...... We heard that my uncle wrote a copy of "The Chronicles of the Earth", which is a real masterpiece, when should we let our sisters read it. ”
Su Miao said, "Where, this book was written by King Shunyang when he was in Chang'an, and I just started it." Mrs. Liu's question was right, before coming to Chang'an, there was a friend who asked for this book, and I brought it to him but didn't meet it, so let's leave it to Mrs. Liu Yazheng first. ”
Liu Yuru hurriedly thanked him, Su Miao immediately ordered the entourage to bring the book in, Gao Jun looked at it, this book has more than a dozen letters, each letter has six volumes, blue silk box, even the pins on the box are white ivory, after opening, the book is exquisitely decorated.
Su Miao's entourage each took a volume and gave it to Shang Shuling, Mrs. Liu and the ladies, and the women were full of interest, so they opened the book and read it during the banquet, praising it from time to time.
Gao Jun held the first one in his hand, and there was no inscription on the title page. If, as Su Miao said, this book was given to a friend in the name of Su Miao, then according to etiquette, there should always be kind words such as "Please so-and-so Yazheng".
Nothing, it's not normal.
Then, most of this is specially brought to Yongning Fang, and most of it is the meaning of this Shunyang King. The prince did not inscribe in order not to cause trouble to the other party.
In an instant, Gao Jun had a good impression of this prince he had never met.
When he opened the book again, he was quickly attracted by the contents, and he buried his head in it and read several pages in succession without speaking.
This is a book about the mountains and rivers, geography, and scenery of the Tang Dynasty, with a preface of five volumes, and more than 500 volumes of text. It is not an exaggeration to say that you can perceive the valley and the dangerous shore of the Xiongchuan River between the lines.
Because of his profession, Gao Jun has always paid attention to geography, so his focus is not pretending to be polite.
At this time, Su Miao saw that the things he gave were deeply loved by Shang Shuling, and the tension in his expression was also reduced a lot, but he still didn't know how to say about the true purpose of his trip.
He saw that this Mrs. Liu was really not a simple character, "The Chronicles of the Ground" was written in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, and at the age of Mrs. Liu, Zhenguan was not much older in fifteen years.
But people can think of this book as soon as they meet, first, it shows that her knowledge is different from ordinary people, and second, it shows that she does not approve of Shang Shuling being involved in the affairs of the royal family.
It's just that she naturally mentions it without showing any traces.
He secretly sighed to himself, Shang Shuling leaned towards the government and the opposition at a young age, and it was not for nothing, in addition to Gao Jun's own reasons, the work of internal help should not be ignored.
Gao Jun didn't raise his head and asked, "Uncle can you know the true cause of the prince's illness?" ”
