Chapter 819: Please, handover

Qianqing Palace East Warm Pavilion.

According to the usual practice, the result of the court meeting was still Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong. Hearing that the ministers had no objections to the matter of patrolling the border, but they needed to be considered in terms of candidates, Zhu Zhanji suddenly frowned, and his mood was much happier. When Yang Shiqi mentioned the transfer of troops in Luchuan Military Affairs, he nodded slightly and agreed. But for Du Zhen's proposal to send a civil official to assist, he couldn't help but hesitate, and he couldn't help but sit forward.

Military generals lead civilian counselors, this is a common practice in the use of troops. The first Emperor Taizong Zhu Di went on a northern expedition, Yang Rongjin Youzi accompanied him this time, Zhang Fu went to the south to Jiaolu, and he also brought Huang Fu and some other civil officials, but the little Luchuan used to mobilize the people so much? Moreover, the use of troops in Jiaonan has just stopped, and now it is Mu Sheng, the Duke of Qianguo, who is in charge of military affairs in central Yunnan, if it makes people think that the imperial court has lost trust in him, it is not a good way.

After yesterday's court meeting, Yang Rong tossed and turned all night, and only fell asleep for an hour in a daze until dawn, and at this time, seeing that the Son of Heaven was considering, he took a deep breath and finally made up his mind.

"Your Majesty, the Mu family has been in Yunnan for a long time, and the main general of this army is still the Duke of Qianguo, but if Luchuan is left alone, the southern Xinjiang will not be peaceful for a long time. Moreover, as far as the minister knows, Si Renfa is just a death struggle, one is that the analysis of the land that began in the Hongwu period has been effective, and the other is the rise of the Burmese Mang clan, and the Luchuan belly and back are under the enemy. Although the king of Burma is called a vassal, there are deficiencies in tribute and so on, and he cannot be allowed to sit big. The minister is not talented, and he is willing to go to southern Xinjiang to defeat the enemy. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Yang Shiqi was surprised, but Zhu Zhanji couldn't help but be stunned, but Yang Rong himself was calm, but he was a little bitter in his heart. In the past few days, due to the turmoil in the previous Metropolitan Procuratorate and the investigation of the world's acres of land, there have been some waves in the court, and the cabinet and the six ministries of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other important officials have all written letters to send people to their hometowns to ask for admonitions, and Yang Rong is no exception. However, the letter to his hometown should not have been delivered yet, but a fellow villager came to the door and persuaded him to stop the matter, and there were hints in his words.

Among the members of the cabinet, Yang Shiqi was born in a scholarly family, but he was extremely poor when he was young, Xia Yuanji didn't find anything valuable when he raided his house, and Yang Pu was also from an ordinary family, only Yang Rong was originally a rich man, and he has never treated himself badly when he has been an official for so many years. Now he can't make ends meet, let alone the meager money in the Yongle years, so most of the money is sent by the old housekeeper in his hometown in Fujian every year. He has always ignored these, so he actually realized that in the more than 20 years since he joined the company, the original 100 hectares of fertile land in his family have now doubled!

Moreover, because he knew that the emperor was fortunate to be in the north of the town, he only went by Du Zhen alone, and he did not move at all, and afterwards the cabinet colleagues did not say anything, but others were quite complaining, and he was also keenly aware that the Son of Heaven treated himself as if he was not as kind as before, and the eunuchs who were familiar with him even revealed to him in private that the emperor had mentioned it to Yang Shiqi, saying that he often laughed at the good horses given by the generals, and also said that Yang Shiqi and Xia Yuanji were not.

Although this is all a joke, if they all add up, it is a great thing. And if he stepped forward when military affairs were difficult, he would be able to redeem some of them, better than those ministers who have been ordered one after another in recent years.

"Mian Ren is my humerus minister, Luchuan is just a small land, in addition to the army led by the Duke of Qian, he also has to go to the bachelor of Lao Zhen, don't outsiders want to laugh at me and kill chickens with a knife?"

"In the past, the father and son of the Hu family rebelled, and Emperor Taizong sent people to send the Chen family back, but he was robbed and killed by him, which is a small chaos causing a big trouble. The minister is only more skilled in military affairs, and if it is peaceful today, it is also appropriate to share the emperor's worries. ”

Since Yang Rong had put on such a resolute attitude, Yang Shiqi, who was originally going to persuade two sentences, suddenly fell silent. And Zhu Zhanji pondered for a long time, but in the end he still did not express his position immediately. After all, Empress Dowager Zhang was quite concerned about Yang Rong's love for protecting the East Palace in the past, so she had to ask Empress Dowager Zhang's opinion, besides, it was an old minister who had been reused by her grandfather, even if Yang Rong proposed it himself, he had to beware of outsiders saying that he liked the new and hated the old. So, when the two of them retired and left, he immediately took Wang Jin to Renshou Palace to see Empress Dowager Zhang.

Before the lunch break, Zhang Yue received an official letter from the cabinet of Zhu Approval, which not only determined that Yang Rong would go to Luchuan to preside over the military affairs of Luchuan, but also set several ministers to accompany him on the Northern Expedition. Among the nobles were the British Duke Zhang Fu and Chengshan Marquis Wang Tong, while the civil officials were Jin Youzi Du Zhen, Jian Yi Xia Yuanji and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Hu Hu, and the rest of the low-grade officials were to be determined.

It was Cao Jixiang who came to deliver the official document. The celebrant is Fan Hong Jin Ying, the two have served Zhu Gaochi for many years, and they have won the trust of the Empress Dowager Zhang, but they don't have much ambition, so the emperor and queen have repeatedly rewarded them, and they only want houses and gold and silver money, but the rest of the things do not touch their hands. But even if he had no ambition, Wang Jin stuffed a person to the celebrant supervisor, and the two of them were still not without vigilance, but after all, it was someone who had stayed by Zhang Qian's side, so he was simply transferred to Wenyuan Pavilion to listen to the errand, which was not only an important errand, but also did not involve the internal affairs of the divisions.

Cao Jixiang saw Zhang Yue looking down at the official document, so he laughed and said: "This list was set by the Queen Mother herself when the emperor went to see the Queen Mother. However, the emperor has always loved Lord Chongzhang, and the prince said that when the time comes, you will definitely be asked to obey ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Yue interrupted lightly: "Hu never obeys or does not come from the top, and staying behind may not be a heavy responsibility." ”

Touching such a nail that is neither soft nor hard, Cao Jixiang was suddenly a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but feel that Zhang Yue had something to say, but he didn't dare to ask more. Seeing that Zhang Yue wrote a receipt and handed it to himself, he didn't want to just return to Wenyuan Pavilion like this, and with a roll of his eyes, he whispered: "When the little one came out, he also saw Father-in-law Lu, who was so angry that he didn't know what happened." ”

"The East Factory is in charge of the detective, so it's not surprising that anything happens."

Because he saw that Zhang Yue was immersed in writing and only cared about writing, Cao Jixiang thought that this was an important place for the Yamen of the Ministry of War, so he didn't say much, and tiptoed out of the door. As soon as he left, Zhang Yue raised his head. When Fang Ling left last night, although there was news and he would be informed, this kind of thing is not easy to do and leave too traces, and it will not be so fast. He was thinking about it, when a soapy voice suddenly came from outside: "My lord, Hu Qianhu is here, saying that there is an important event to report." ”

Now that Zhang Yue has taken up his post as a military attaché, Hu Qianhu is naturally the only one who can come to see him, and when he heard this, Zhang Yue immediately ordered someone to come in. After a while, Hu Qi, who was wearing a cyan bear cocoon silk official uniform, entered the door, and after Shi Li, he said a few words about the military in the north, he glanced around with his eyes, and then walked quickly to Zhang Yue's desk, his voice was so low that it was inaudible.

"My lord, I just got the news that it was the Jinyi Guard who sent troops to check the former residence of Princess Yongping in Fengcheng Hutong, but after calling the door to open and go in, the owner who now lives inside, Li Maoqing, Li Rang's concubine, blocked the doors and windows of the room and hanged himself in the house. Jin Yiwei escorted all the subordinates in the family to the East Factory, and then sealed the house. I heard that more than 2,000 taels of gold were copied out of that mansion, you know, Li Maofang died, Princess Yongping hanged herself, this family has long been defeated, Li Maoqing can keep that mansion is already a thousand graces, where did the gold come from? ”

When he learned the source of the gold from the black-clothed thief last night, Zhang Yue felt incredible, and at this time, Hu Qi told him what was going on, and when he talked about Li Maoqing's death, he frowned even more. Li Maofang was designed by him at the beginning, and then Zhu Di was furious and threw a sentence that left him to fend for himself, so he hanged himself in the West Palace; Later, Princess Yongping also hanged herself, although he concluded that it was the Han Wangfu who instructed people to do it, but this was already a headless public security; Now there is such a Li Maoqing, if in the eyes of the people, it is as if the family has all hit the ghost, and I don't know if anyone will dare to live in that mansion in the future.

Li Maoqing ...... This should also be an insignificant person. ”

"Yes, the ticket of the Marquis of Fuyang has been taken away, but he has been given the command of the officer, and Princess Yongping's popularity that day is not good, Li Maoqing has faded out of sight for a long time, whether it is Jinyiwei or Dongchang, or those people under my hands, they have not paid attention to him. I think that once this person dies, even if he tortures those subordinates again, I am afraid that he will not be able to ask anything, this is a complete headless public case, but I am afraid that it will not be resolved. ”

What Zhang Yue hates the most is that he loses control of the dynamics of things, this is because he happened to bump into a person, if he hadn't bumped into such a person, who knows what would have evolved into later? After thinking about it, he looked at Hu Qi and said, "Since you know the things inside Jinyiwei and Dongchang Yamen, you must have an inside line inside?" ”

Hu Qi remembered the instructions he got when he went to meet someone before, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "The little one originally didn't have that ability, but it was the news that was given to me by the other side." I'm an official now, so I've always been informed about this matter. Only this time, the messenger asked me to come to see the adults as soon as possible, and told me to give a message, saying that the dishes of Deshengji on Xuanwumen Street are good, and the osmanthus cake is also good, and the adults may wish to buy some and go back to the family to taste when they are scattered at night. ”

With such a clear point, Zhang Yue understood it as soon as he heard it, and nodded immediately. After the most important words were finished, Hu Qifang returned to the place where he should have stood still, and smoothly reported the recent battle situation between the two Warat-Tatar divisions, and then handed over a document with both hands, and then bowed his hands and retired. With this, naturally no one can question whether the matter he reported is urgent - under the premise that the emperor is about to patrol the border, as long as it is related to the Mongols, it is all urgent!

Facts have proved that Princess Yongping and Fuyang Hou have indeed been forgotten, and when the government was dispersed in the evening, when the Jinyi Guard was dispatched in the afternoon and sealed Fengcheng Hutong for two hours, most officials thought that something had gone wrong with Li Xian, the current Fengcheng Hou who lived in Fengcheng Hutong. When they heard that it was Li Maoqing who hanged himself, people were a little dazed, until someone with a good memory said that Princess Yongping and Li Maofang both hanged themselves, which caused a sigh.

"First Li Maofang, then Princess Yongping, and now there is such a new one, this family is really a ghost!"

"Who's to say it isn't? The people in the family didn't know the inspection, and this time they dispatched the Jinyi Guard, they must have done something unseemly! ”

"Whether it's unsightly or not, I think the Marquis of Fengcheng has to think about moving places, right? The good guy next door is always dead, and he doesn't hold his breath? The British Dukes, the Dukes, the Dukes, and the Dukes of the Kingdom all built gardens around Shichahai, and the Marquis of Fengcheng also moved over. ”

When passing by the front of the military governor's mansion in Jiangmi Lane, Zhang Yue saw that some people came out surrounded by Fengcheng Hou Li Xian, and some people shouted such a sentence. Li Xian is now in his early thirties, and he is frowning at this time, and he is also angry when he thinks about it. He had no intention of meeting people, so he took them away without stopping. When he turned from West Chang'an Street to Xuanwumen Street and found the Desheng Ji, he sent someone back to tell his family that he would not go back to eat, and went straight into it. After he reported his surname, the shopkeeper immediately smiled all over his face, first asked someone to bring a cloth to eat, and then called a man to take him up to the third floor.

Entering an inconspicuous box around the corner, he saw someone standing with his back to the wall, as if he was looking at a picture of Panasonic collecting medicine from above. He didn't say anything, stepped forward and stood side by side with the person, looked at the painting for a while and said with a smile: "Uncle Yuan, isn't it envy Panasonic's leisurely collection of medicine?" ”

"Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, there are few hermits in the world, and even more so in this dynasty. Otherwise, there would be no proverb that is hidden in the court. ”

Yuan Fangwaner turned his head with a smile, glanced at Zhang Yue, and then motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "Now I am a genuine honor, but the rewards of the New Year's holidays have never been less, and I occasionally walk around. In the first year, there would be ten or eight people wandering around the alley, and then there would be two or three kittens, and now it's just three days of fishing and two days of drying nets, so I can see you. There is actually only one thing that asked you to come over today. I also told your father that in the future, the line will be completely handed over to you to be in charge, and I will completely put my hands away, at most I will plan with your father how to make more money. ”

Zhang Yue thought that Yuan Fang had something important to inform, but he was taken aback when he heard this. He was about to say something, but Yuan Fang waved his hand and said: "Don't persuade me, don't be in his position and don't seek his government, I have been idle for several years, and my grasp of the general trend of the court must not be as good as you, a ministry with prosperous official fortunes, since this is the case, it is better to hand it over to you as one." You can let Hu Qi cross the bright road, and you can master a dark path by yourself, and this light and darkness can ensure that you are invincible. You take these two things, but you take the jade pendant with you, and the things in the booklet have to be written down here and then destroyed. I just wrote it down, and it's more solid in my mind than on paper. ”

After taking the white jade pendant that was warm but only of the middle and upper grade, as well as the thin booklet, Zhang Yue looked up at Yuan Fang, and saw that he was just smiling with satisfaction, so he nodded: "Okay, I'll take this matter in the future." ”

"You don't have to have any burden, Qinglou Chuguan Restaurant has a lot of business with various nobles, and their news channels often come from this way, but my line is more meticulous. If you want to be an official in these years, what you are most afraid of is that your ears and eyes are closed, and you are not prepared at critical moments. ”
