884 How to Be Good (Medium)
Eight days later, Beijing City, Yu Qian's mansion.
Because of Lu Jin's intervention, the history of the Ming Dynasty has already deviated, and Yu Qian, who should have died shortly after the change of seizing the door, not only did not have an accident, but because of many years of meritorious official positions, he was promoted again, and while still holding the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, he has entered the cabinet and become one of the most important ministers in front of the Son of Heaven.
Because of this, Yu Qian's burden on weekdays has become heavier and heavier, and he is always busy from morning to night, even if he has returned home now, it is late at night, but he still bows his head between the cases, dealing with all kinds of large and small government affairs.
The knock on the door pulled him out of the paperwork slightly, and he knew that it was his cronie Yu Xiaohe who had sent ginseng soup, so he said, "Come in." Although he is only in his early sixties, Lord Yu is already full of silver hair, and he looks far more haggard than people of the same age, which is naturally caused by being busy with government affairs for many years but not getting rest, so the Son of Heaven gave ginseng and other great supplements early in the morning, so that Yu Qian can take tonic every day and recuperate his body.
Sure enough, Yu Xiaohe walked in with a tray, and after seeing his master's bloodshot eyes, he couldn't help but persuade: "Master, you can't do anything like this, official business is too busy, you should still focus on your body, if you are tired, won't this affairs of the DPRK and China also have to be delayed?" ”
Yu Qian took the ginseng soup that had been put on the table, and while blowing it lightly, he smiled and said: "You, everything else is fine, it's just too nagging, how many years have it been, doesn't the old man know how to take care of his body?" However, the affairs of the DPRK and China really cannot be delayed, and I can't let the subjects of the world wait. You know, if I drag on here for a day, I'll have to drag it out for a month, or even longer, and maybe a lot of people will suffer because of it. ”
When Yu Xiaohe heard this, he could only sigh secretly and no longer persuade him. In the past, he also persuaded his master to rest well, but he didn't succeed once, so he could only do more in food and accommodation, and take care of the entire Yu Mansion, so as not to let the master bother with such trivial matters.
Also, if there are other things unrelated to official business, it's better not to disturb the master. Thinking of this, Yu Xiaohe pinched the letter in his sleeve and planned to exit the door. But at this moment, Yu Qian, who was putting down the soup bowl and planning to bury himself in the file again, suddenly looked at him again: "No, you came a little earlier than usual today, there must be something." And listening to what you just said, it seems that there are also unfinished words, let's say, what else is there to hide from the old man? Is there something wrong with the family again? ”
"Old ...... The old man ...... "Yu Xiaohe didn't expect his master to be so shrewd, and he saw at a glance that he had something to hide, and he suddenly felt a little empty.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Yu Qian immediately asked with a blank face.
Facing the solemn master, Yu Xiaohe didn't dare to hide the truth anymore, so he had to hand over a letter hidden in his sleeve with a bitter face: "Master forgive me, this is a letter sent from Kaifeng during the day today, saying that it is the handwriting of the Jinyi Wei Lu Dudu, but the little one is worried that the master is too hardworking, so he ......."
"Nonsense." Yu Qian glared at the other party dissatisfied, then took the letter from his hand, tore the envelope and took out the letter, and said: "You are really bold, Shansi is a steady person, since he specially asked people to send the letter, it will definitely not be a trivial matter." As he spoke, he was stunned again: "Kaifeng? He actually went to Kaifeng, but why? ”
I wondered, so I hurriedly went to read the contents of the letter carefully. At this glance, the two gray-white eyebrows quickly put together, gathered together at the center of the eyebrows, and breathing became a little short. And seeing this, Yu Xiaohe, who is familiar with his character, is also in his heart, because he knows that his master will only behave like this when he is extremely angry, what does this letter say?
After reading the contents of the letter, Yu Qian slapped the letter on the desk with a gloomy face: "How can this be true!" Did the king of Zhou be so careless about human life, and treat my Ming law as nothing? The old man must take care of this matter and uphold justice for the suffering people! ”
Yu Xiaohe, who hadn't seen Yu Qian angry for a long time, was so shocked that he didn't even dare to take a breath, and only after a while did he ask tentatively: "Master, what did this letter say to make you so angry?" ”
"Do you know that the flood that happened in Kaifeng Mansion last year was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster! And the culprit of this matter is King Zhou in Kaifeng Mansion City! Yu Qian briefly said the contents of the letter with a dark face: "Now Shansi has found out all the truth, and there are all kinds of human and material evidence. ”
"Actually...... Is there such a thing? Yu Xiaohe was also shocked by this news and couldn't come back to his senses for a while. But soon, he sensed the problem again: "Since Lu Dudu has already mastered the relevant evidence, why don't you hurry up and report it to the imperial court, but send a letter to you, my lord?" ”
"Because he still has some concerns, after all, the other party is the king of my court, and he is the uncle of today's son." Yu Qian said with a gloomy face: "What prince violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the people, it is just talking, if something really happens, the court will always want to protect him, this is not only love, but also the face of the court." ”
Yu Xiaohe nodded clearly, and felt that this matter was really difficult to handle, so he looked at his master: "Then master, how are you going to deal with this matter?" Presumably, the king of Zhou will try his best to save himself, and if you really impeach him, you will offend people......"
"Since he dares to do such a thing that harms the country and the people, the old man will never tolerate him! Not to mention that he is just a vassal king, he is the Son of Heaven, and the old man will also be impeached. Not only do I want to impeach him, but I also want to spread the matter to my colleagues in the DPRK and China, so that the ministers can condemn him together! ”
"Huh? Master, think twice, if Your Majesty wants to protect him......" Yu Xiaohe was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded him. My lord is good for everything else, but sometimes he can't rub sand in his eyes, and it's easy to offend people, otherwise with his credit, he would have entered the cabinet many years ago.
"It is precisely because of this concern that the old man should be impeached, and his majesty must not be allowed to indulge such sinners with a soft heart!" Yu Qian had already made up his mind and said without hesitation.
Seeing his master's determined appearance, Yu Xiaohe didn't dare to persuade anymore, whenever he made up his mind, it was impossible to follow the advice of others, even if it was a cronie like himself. But he knew that if his master was going to do this, maybe even the emperor would be offended, which was not a good thing. But how is this good?
Just as this matter, there was a knock on the door again: "Old man......" was another steward, Yu Xiaoping, who called the door outside. After getting Yu Qian's permission, Yu Xiaohe went over to help him open the door, and then looked at the other party with a puzzled expression: "Why did you come here at this time?" Is something going on? ”
"Master, there is a person from outside the mansion who claims to be your old friend, saying that he wants to visit you. This is his famous thorn. Yu Xiaoping said, handing over a rather quaint famous thorn.
Yu Qian took it casually, and after sweeping his eyes, he seemed to recall it again, and then said, "Is it him?" Let him come in and speak. Yu Xiaohe looked over and saw the words "Student Gao Gong" written on the name tattoo.
It turned out that this Gao Gong was one of the people selected by Yu Qian when he was a local official, so there was really a teacher-student relationship between the two. And because he appreciates this student's talent and personality, Yu Qian has a good impression of him, even after many years, he still remembers that he has such a student.
A moment later, Gao Gong, who was in the dust, was led to Yu Qian by Yu Xiaoping. This way from Kaifeng, he galloped on horseback, and it only took a few days to arrive in the capital, and he was so tired that his legs were shaking. But even so, after seeing Yu Qian, he still behaved as a teacher and student in a proper manner, and he didn't look a little sleepy.
"Jingzhi, you and I haven't seen each other for nearly ten years, right?" Yu Qian called out to the other party's expression.
"If you return to your teacher, it should be twelve years to be precise." Gao Gong said, looked at Yu Qian with emotion and said, "I can't imagine that you look so old now, teacher, ...... student."
"Hehe, birth, old age, sickness and death are just the way of heaven, you don't have to mind. By the way, your thorn doesn't have an official name written on it, isn't it an official in the court? The old man remembers clearly, you still had some talent in the scientific examination at the beginning, and it stands to reason that you should be able to be on the two lists. Yu Qian asked a little puzzled.
Gao Gong hurriedly said with a grateful face: "The teacher praised it falsely, the student is indeed thin and talented, and he will try to win the second year after the middle lift, which is the twenty-fourth place in the second list." ”
"If that's the case, then you ...... now"
"Actually, students have official positions, but this official position is ......," he said, and he sighed, as if he was a little embarrassed.
This made Yu Qian a little dissatisfied: "It's not appropriate for you to say that, although there is indeed a difference between high and low official positions, but there is no distinction between high and low, how can you be ashamed to export because your official position is too low?" As long as you behave properly and do it right, as long as you serve the court and seek the well-being of the people, then no matter how small an official is, he has his merits, and you don't have to worry about it. ”
Gao Gong immediately showed a look of shame: "What the teacher said is that the student wants to go wrong......"
"Now you can say it, what is your position?" Yu Qian immediately took the opportunity to ask again.
"I ...... Now he is a long history in the palace of the king of Zhou, named a courtier, but he has become a vassal of the king of Zhou, so it is almost difficult to work for the well-being of the people, but he disappointed the teacher. As he spoke, he also peeked at Yu Qian, but found that Yu Qian's expression was condensed, and a sense of vigilance had flashed in his eyes......
