Chapter 33: The Wisdom of the Nobles

CHAPTER XXXIII

As soon as Yang Shangjing left with his front foot, the entire circle of nobles in Nanjing began to mutter.

"The civil officials are simply sick, the girls in the Qinglou have been ransomed, and it is not okay to stay in the Qinglou overnight?"

"Isn't this nonsense, a moral gentleman, naturally you can be emotional, but you can't be emotional, even if you are emotional, you have to pretend to be emotional."

"But it's not, it's called a romantic affair when it's emotional, it's a literati style, what is it called when it's sexual? It's not as good as a beast! ”

"That's it, you see that Lord Shangshu in our Nanjing, didn't Yan Lailou redeem the body of the two little girls two days ago and raise them in another house? Tsk, there are more than 60 people, and a pear flower pressing begonia is nothing more than that, right? ”

"But then again, the Jian'an Yang family is really rich, three thousand guan, just threw it out, didn't blink his eyes, that Shangshu Lord also relied on his old face, and Yan Lailou half sold and half gave it to the two little girls, right?"

…………

Listening to the muttering of a group of nobles, Xu Shangyong's heart began to churn with all kinds of thoughts, the more he tossed, the more uncomfortable Xu Shangyong's heart became, he thought about it, and secretly pulled Liu Qidao over, before he became a noble, he was also a civil official, and his children and grandchildren were naturally more inclined to literati, and in the entire circle of nobles, Liu Qidao was also famous for his resourcefulness.

"Yang Shangjing was transferred to Huangyan County, although he was demoted, but according to the news from the Dingguo Gong in Beijing, this is his own request to release the county order, is there anything in it?" Xu Shangyong whispered, and revealed a little bit of the inside information he got to Liu Qidao.

The Xu family is considered to be a relative of the emperor, the queen of Chengzu Zhu Di and the mother of Emperor Renzong Zhu Gaochi, who is Xu Da's daughter, so he can be in the limelight after the Jingjing, the Duke of Wei is in Nanjing, and the Duke of Dingguo is accompanied by Beijing, so this inside information is naturally more expensive than other Nanjing nobles.

Liu Qidao heard the news, slowly walked to the window of the painting boat, looked up at the night sky, and launched his family's ancestral skill "stargazing", after a long time, he said: "You look at Yang Shangjing, at first glance, there is not the slightest arrogance, but this method is ruthless and tight, so he left Beijing, naturally has a deep meaning, as if he ransomed the Mingyan girl here today, in fact, it is not for women, but to tell us that in addition to most of the foreign dynasties, there is also the entire Jian'an Yang clan behind him." ”

Family support, this is very important in the feudal era, it can create too much convenience, although there are poor scholars who counterattack after the imperial examination, become CEOs, and marry Bai Fumei, then there are only a few? The reason why it is sung by the folk is because there are too few.

Xu Shangyong nodded and asked, "So, what is the real purpose of his departure from Beijing?" ”

"Jingshi is now a big whirlpool, as soon as Yang Shiqi, the first assistant of the cabinet, goes, it is said that Yang Rong has been gone for more than three years, and he is the grandson of my Xungui family, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be rolled up and twisted to pieces. Liu Qidao smiled, and instantly said Yang Shangjing's purpose, "He stayed away from that vortex by self-defilement, and by the way, opened a precedent for the outer dynasty to rebel against the inner court, whether it was in terms of reputation or benefits, he didn't make less money, didn't he see that when he came, there was a family member of Chengguo Gong in the guard?" ”

Returning to the hidden guy, Liu Ji and Liu Bowen, the ancestors of the Liu family, are called a slippery, and Yang Shangjing's various actions are still not enough to see in the eyes of the family.

Xu Shangyong shook his head: "Hanlin is transferred, that is, there is no five-grade real job, and there are always six-grade." ”

"Six products and seven products, always avoid trouble, acting local is another qualification, when the foreign dynasty wins a complete victory, Yang Shangjing is a small official, and he will eventually soar to the sky." Liu Qidao smiled, "If the foreign dynasty is defeated, what is the use of him being released as a prefect?" After all, he couldn't escape the knife at the entrance of the vegetable market, and he let Wang Zhen hold a grudge for nothing, and he was not very comfortable. ”

Xu Shangyong nodded, with a thoughtful expression: "Since the family has asked me to wait to contact Yang Shangjing, in fact, I have made a bet on the outside court, and I will also show favor to Yang Shangjing, once he soars into the sky, the family will be able to reap the benefits logically, once Wang Zhen really becomes big in the center, we people will be victims, that is to say, ......"

Liu Qidao finished speaking, pointed his finger at his head, and said word by word: "That is to say, our brains have been engraved with the label of the foreign dynasty, no matter how deep the contact with Yang Shangjing is, if the matter is defeated, we will come out to take the blame." ”

The noble family, there is nothing else in the family, that is, there is no need to worry about the reproduction of blood, not to mention the concubines of those side branches, it is scary that there are many people in the long house, and it is not too easy to take out a few to do political transactions, there is no psychological pressure at all, what kind of flesh and blood affection, and even a fart can not be topped up in the continuation of the family.

Just when the two of them were still here, a family member wearing a small hat in a green coat got on the boat, looked for Xu Shangyong, and muttered in his ear: "Young master, the master asked the little one to come and pass a message, the day before yesterday, under the salt envoys of the two Zhejiang, there was a team of about thirty elite salt lads who did not know where to go, and more than 30 sets of armor of Hainingwei also disappeared, so that the young master and Yang Gongzi would be informed." ”

Hearing this news, Xu Shangyong's whole body was shocked, no, it was the tiger's body that shook wildly, and the whole person was about to be shaken apart.

Although the salt of the Ming Dynasty had the errand of patrolling the salt, it was with a knife, but it was not armored, only the officers and soldiers were qualified to wear armor, the so-called stubborn and stubborn, and the feudal era was called looking for death when walking outside without sticking to a sharp, after all, there were many thieves who cut the path, but the armor was equivalent to rebellion, and it was to destroy the nine clans.

Moreover, the transfer envoy of the salt envoy division of the two Zhejiang provinces is a person from the foreign dynasty, and the news from the family of the third grade is obviously to remind someone to harm him, is it possible that the big official of the foreign dynasty wants to jump back?

Liu Qidao looked at his expression, so he lowered his voice and asked, Xu Jiashi is in Nanjing, and the news channels in various places are much stronger than the down-and-out sincere Bo family, and then his tiger body also shook wildly, and after a long time, he said: "It seems that this inner court is going to make a dead hand, don't forget, now the two Zhejiang are in charge of salt, not only are they all transferring salt envoys, but there is also a town guard eunuch, and the town guard eunuch can also do it when the salt is transferred......
