Without a Trace Volume 5 Party Struggle Chapter 26 Enlightenment
、、、、、、、
Due to the death of Tai Yutong, in order to prevent any further accidents, the emperor immediately ordered Sun Yong to be escorted to the capital, and Hu Nanjing, the political envoy of Sichuan, temporarily assumed the post of acting governor, and Hao Yuansheng, the governor of Sichuan, was demoted to one level to stay. Xiao Yunchao's return to the imperial court made all the officials of the Xiao family breathe a sigh of relief, and the emperor's failure to continue to investigate the cause of Tai Yitong's death made the people on He Furong's side quite complaining. However, everyone knows that it is the most irrational behavior to choose to tear your face at this time, so they all endured it silently.
As for the three princes, Feng Wuyan is the most helpless one, and it was the people he sent who attacked Tai Yitong before. Afterwards, in order to avoid suspicion, the cook still stayed in Taifu as if nothing had happened, until Liu sent him out after Tai Yutong's death. Although he also wanted to kill people and kill his mouth, but after thinking about it again, the henchman who was speechless did not do it in the end, but ordered Hao Yuansheng to secretly monitor the family, and prepared to wait for the limelight to pass before making plans, after all, it was not wise to choose to kill at this time.
No one thought that Feng Wuyan's actions in the dark would be so arrogant and effective, and Hao Yuansheng, the governor of Sichuan, had already been his person long before Tai Yutong, but he had always been obscure, so he rarely came in handy. This time, the Governor took advantage of Tai Yitong's dying moment to sell it, and sure enough, he succeeded in obtaining some of the things he feared most. As for the Liu family and his children, Feng Wuyan didn't have the intention of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and his actions were too big and easy to attract suspicion, not to mention that Murong Tianfang had always taught him to act rightly, and he was not willing to ruin his reputation for a few insignificant people.
It had been three days since Zuo Fanchen arrived in the capital, and in view of the tense situation, he did not dare to go out at will. Even He Fu just voted for a post. The emperor was already taboo about forming too many parties, and although the power of the He Xiao family was rising, although they had an indulgent relationship with the supreme, it was better for them to be cautious as a small magistrate. However. In the house of his brother-in-law Jin Xiangcai, he did not find his son Zuo Jinhuan, but he had a headache, and he was talking. He only learned that his son was depressed and had already moved out.
Listening to the old-fashioned father-in-law, his son didn't even have a face-to-face when he arrived, but just ordered someone to send something for three days. Probably because he didn't know the news that his father had arrived in the capital, Zuo Jinhuan had not seen his father so far.
But. Zuo Jinhuan was able to get the second grade, Zuo Fanchen's father-in-law Jin Qibei and brother-in-law Jin Xiangcai were still quite happy, and they were quite relieved in their words, and even Zuo Fanchen forgot about the unhappiness of these days and smiled. While both sides were sighing, a family member hurriedly rushed to report:
"Old lady Qiqi, old man, aunt and uncle, young master cousin is back!"
Jin Qibei, who was close to old age, hurriedly ordered: "What else do you need to report here, go and invite him in, haven't you seen that you are in a hurry here?" He slammed his crutches. frowned disapprovingly.
The next person originally wanted to take the opportunity to sell his belief, but who expected that the old lady had a bad temperament, and he had a seizure on the spot.
I had to agree curtly, and trotted all the way to lead the people. Coincidentally, Zuo Jinhuan thought that he hadn't been to his uncle's house for many days to say goodbye, and he had been taught by Feng Wuxian not to be rude. That's why I reluctantly came to visit. When I entered the gate, I realized that my father was also here, and I was a little panicked. After all, after many years of experience, he was really afraid of that strict father, but fortunately, he didn't make any big mistakes when he entered Beijing this time, and he was afraid that he could escape a scolding. Rao was like this, he still tried to calm his mind, straightened his clothes again, and then strode in.
"I've seen my father!" Zuo Jinhuan entered the hall and cringed a little as if he had changed a person, and respectfully saluted his father. Zuo Fanchen snorted coldly, "Why haven't you seen your grandfather and uncle?" If you dare to be famous, you will be lawless, and you don't even know how to count the etiquette? ”
Zuo Jinhuan couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and hurriedly saluted his grandfather and uncle again. The two mothers' family members were not as hypocritical as Zuo Fanchen, and when they saw the baby's grandson, Jin Qibei was old-fashioned, but he was still relieved, and couldn't help but blame his son-in-law. "Fan Mule, Jin Huan is also a big man, a little thing can be used by you to teach you such a lesson? He's just scared when he sees you, but there's never a shortage of courtesies on weekdays. A good child, trained in your hands with this cowering look, how will he be an official in the future? ”
The old man's voice raised a little more, "The child has to be taught, but it can't be like your always rigid face, you look at His Royal Highness the Seventh, but a few words brought Jin Huan to the right path, this is the atmosphere, it is knowledge." If I'm not mistaken, you only got the twenty-fourth place in the second class back then. Jin Qibei's brows also seemed to stretch, "All in all, Jin Huan has not been assigned an official position, but after all, he is already an official, and your teaching must follow the way of being an official, and you can no longer stick to the usual form." ”
Regarding his father-in-law's words, Zuo Fanchen has always been obedient to his words, although Jin Qibei has retired, but he was once an official to the East Pavilion University, and he can often hit the nail on the head about the situation in the imperial court. In addition, the old man's knowledge of people is also well known to both the government and the opposition, otherwise he would not marry his baby daughter to Zuo Fanchen, you must know that he should be
At the beginning, it was just a small county order, but now although the official is from the second rank, after all, it is still far from the center of the imperial court. But the old man still doesn't regret it, so he was so proud when he saw his grandson in high school.
"What my father-in-law said is very true, I really teach my son too much on weekdays." Zuo Fanchen also had a little embarrassment on his face, his son had to rely on others to ignite, and it was not a glorious thing to say it. Fortunately, Zuo Jinhuan is still quite angry, the old mother at home has been in poor health recently, and she was rushed by this good news, and she is actually healthy, if it is not for the long way to the capital, I am afraid that she will have to follow together.
"Jin Huan, my father didn't expect you to step into the eunuch journey so quickly, so he has always mentioned very little in this regard." Zuo Fanchen seemed to have some feelings, and there was even a little loneliness mixed in between his eyebrows, "You just won the palace test, and you don't know the dangers of your career, so you must be extremely cautious in the future." Although I, the father, am not an important minister of the imperial court, and the territory is Jiangsu, but there are many people who covet this position, if you are sensible, it is good to restrain your temperament, and don't let others take advantage of the loopholes. Zuo Jinhuan pursed his lips secretly, obviously disapproving of his father's words, and still thought that he was a child, but he really underestimated him. These days in the capital, going back and forth between Haifu and Qinjun Wangfu, although he is still ignorant of some of the overall situation, it does not mean that he does not know the sinister career at all. Feng Wuxian seemed to have inadvertently revealed to him the process of Tai Yi's sin, and even let Guo Hanjin, the newly returned old man of Huanhai, explain a lot of experience to him step by step, so if it is reasonable, he really knows a lot. But in front of his father, Zuo Jinhuan still didn't dare to speak back, after all, Zuo Fan's power was still there, so he had to resign himself to answering yes. After all, it was his own son, how could Zuo Fanchen not be able to see that he was ugly, knowing that he didn't take his words to heart, he had to sigh. It's not that he doesn't know that his son is close to being full-fledged, but he still doesn't expect him to defect to any party like himself in officialdom. His grade is still low, and it will be much safer to wait until the new monarch ascends the throne to make plans.
There were no outsiders in the horizontal and vertical halls, and all the servants had retired, so Zuo Fanchen was ready to beat a few more words.
"Jin Huan, I know that you are grateful to His Highness the Seventh, but now that the situation is complicated, he is the nephew of Lord Xiao, and you are mixed in, and the position of being a father is very embarrassing." Zuo Fanchen tried his best to make his words appear calmer, instead of relying on his father's identity to be aggressive, "So, I hope you don't have too much to do with His Royal Highness the Seventh, Lord He has hinted to me many times, and he is obviously very dissatisfied, if you offend him, your future journey will not be easy." It is enough for you and His Royal Highness to maintain a face-to-face friendship, and if you wander around the Qinjun Palace, you will be suspicious of the emperor from time to time, and it will not be good for your future. ”
Zuo Jinhuan saw that his grandfather and uncle also showed a look of approval, and he couldn't hold back his already dissatisfied emotions anymore. "Father, although what you said is reasonable, but now the situation in the DPRK and China is like this, if you don't attach to the He family, you will follow the Xiao family, or you will make friends with some other important ministers of the court. I have just joined the ranks, and I can only get a petty official of six or seven grades, so when will I have to wait until I am promoted step by step? My father is already a member of the He family's party, and Lord He will never ignore the clear discussion of the government and the opposition and promote me exceptionally, not to mention that the officials are still in the hands of Lord Xiao! Instead of slowly grinding my qualifications, let me try to see if I really deserve to be favored by the powerful. ”
"His Royal Highness the Seventh treats me with the grace of knowledge, I don't want my father to be embarrassed because of this relationship, but I can be the master of my own career!" The last sentence made Zuo Fanchen shocked, looking at his son's confident and radiant expression, he felt for the first time that this son, who had always been stubborn and unruly, had really grown up. Although his willful temper has not disappeared, at least he has begun to consider these issues from his own point of view, and he is proud to be a father.
Jin Xiangcai, who has always been tight-lipped on such occasions, finally spoke, although his official position in the court is not conspicuous, just a Guanglu Siqing from the third grade, but his father Yu Yin is still there, and he has a wide range of contacts "For the court situation, his understanding is not superficial. "Brother-in-law, Jin Huan's words are also reasonable, in my opinion, there is no need to stick to the same path with father and son. If Lord He asks, you might as well say it bluntly, if he doesn't even have this kind of elegance, it proves that his heart is too small. Father and son are officials in the same dynasty, but there are many people who have different views, and it is not uncommon for them to fight in the same room. As long as your father and son are harmonious, Jin Huan can be promising, and you are still in your prime, so you don't have to worry about having no chance to make a big difference. Zuo Fanchen looked at the two Jin family members in surprise in surprise, and a trace of realization flashed across his face. Now that my son has made up his mind, I'm afraid he won't be able to pull it back. There will be no results in the party struggle in the imperial court for a while, and I will sit back and watch it get better, and if there is really a big change at that time, I will have to do something sorry for people.
