Chapter 22 Mao Yuanyi's concubine

When Sun Chuanting was in Shaanxi, when he encountered something that he was not easy to handle, he would often write to the emperor for advice, and the opinions and suggestions given by the emperor could generally solve the problem well. So he admired the emperor. What I just said is a true reflection of my heart.

Zhu Youxiao knew through "The Great Ming Tribulation" that Sun Chuanting was good at training soldiers and spared no effort to suppress the civil rebellion. During this time in Shaanxi, I found out that Sun Chuanting not only knew the soldiers, but was also a good hand in civil affairs. Shaanxi was able to solve the food problem without opening China and France, and even a large number of sweet potato vermicelli and other items could be exported to various places, which greatly improved Shaanxi's economic situation, and the danger of Shaanxi as a powder keg in the late Ming Dynasty no longer existed. He understood the strength of the peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, so in his opinion, Sun Chuanting's credit was that compared with the guards in Liaodong, Sun Chengzong and others in the south were not inferior.

Colonel Zhu You stepped forward to help him up and said: "Sun Qing, please get up, Shaanxi is stable, it is really an immortal achievement, and I am very relieved." ”

Huang Kezhang thought to himself, the emperor is too much. The stability of a province is called an immortal achievement. Look at the way this gentleman and the minister get along. This Sun Ge Lao is only afraid that he will become the first assistant before he is forty.

The other officials also didn't feel very comfortable, and the two monarchs and ministers seemed to form a circle of their own, excluding everyone else.

Sun Chuanting also noticed this, and after getting up, he said to Fang Congzhe: "Chuanting has been in Shaanxi for three years, and I have received a lot of help from Lord Shoufu and the ministers, and I would like to thank you here." ”

Fang Congzhe said with a smile on his face: "The main thing is that Your Majesty has good guidance, and Governor Sun is cautious and appropriate. The Cabinet is only assisting at the behest of His Majesty, and it should not be thanked. ”

Sun Chuanting made a circle and said: "Chuanting is alone, and he is covered in iron and can hit a few nails. Inheriting the emperor's grace, entrusting the people, and helping his colleagues, he has made a small achievement. Being so praised by the emperor really made the court embarrassed. Shame shame shame! ”

Zhu Youxiao laughed and said: "Okay, okay, humility is also modest, praise is also praised." It's almost over, why don't we take the train back to the capital together. ”

Because Xu Guangqi and Wei Zhongxian had already sat once when they came, the ministers saw that the safety of the train was not bad, and they were also a little itchy, so Mao Yuanyi dragged three carriages, and everyone took the train back to the capital together.

When I came back this time, because the emperor was in the car, the speed was a little slower, and the corresponding vibration was not so strong.

After getting out of the car, Zhu Youxiao said directly to Sun Chuanting: "You enter the cabinet with the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, but the affairs of the Ministry of War are also in charge of you, Huang Benbing is going to Fujian, and Sun Ge will go to Shanhaiguan after he returns." You first come up with a plan for the replacement of the guards, among the nine sides, Liaodong has been disrupted, and the guards do not exist, but others such as Xuanfu, Datong, Jizhou, and Shanxi should all be replaced by the guards. As for the four towns of Ningxia, Gansu, Yulin and Guyuan, they were replaced as the second batch. You and Huang Benbing will hand over and officially take office tomorrow. ”

Sun Chuanting and Huang Kezhang did not mention it. After Mao Yuanyi sent the emperor and ministers away, he discussed with Sun Yuanhua and Bi Maokang about the issue of installing springs on the train, and then went to see Bi Maokang's flowering bomb experiment together, and was busy until the evening, and then dragged his tired body back home.

His wife takes care of his parents in his hometown, and now there are only two concubines in the capital, Yang Wan and Wang Wei. Yang Wan was already waiting for him with wine and dinner, Wang Wei helped him take off his cloak, changed his official clothes into regular clothes, and the three of them began to eat.

After eating, Mao Yuanyi took the two to the hall and said: "Today, the emperor asked the two ladies, and wanted to invite the ladies to study in the normal school, and then go to the women's school to be a gentleman, I don't know what the lady thinks?" ”

Yang Wan's face was slightly red and said: "Why does even the emperor know that the concubine is married to Jun Xun?" Why should we be gentlemen? ”

Mao Yuanyi was also puzzled: "I know the temperament of today, there are only three people in the palace, even the queen. It is said that the emperor would not know about this kind of thing, and I don't know what is going on. ”

Yang Wan said with a slightly pale: "This matter is all arranged by the husband, what the husband said, the concubine and others will not listen." ”

Wang Wei also said: "The husband is the heaven of the concubine, and I only have the husband and sister as the main thing." ”

Mao Yuanyi shook his head and said: "Originally, I was forced to have no choice but to let the two of you go to teach, but the emperor said that he wanted me to come back and discuss with the two ladies, and it was all up to the ladies' volition, which made me understand what the emperor meant." ”

Yang Wan's eyes lit up: "Husband, the emperor said that he wanted us to be willing, can't the husband help us agree?" ”

Mao Yuanyi nodded and said: "Yes, this is the strangest thing about me, the husband is the wife, why can't I agree, but I want to ask your own opinion?" ”

Yang Wan said: "That husband thinks in his heart, should the concubine go or not?" ”

Mao Yuanyi smiled: "Originally, I didn't want you to go." But after listening to what the emperor said, I felt that I should go. ”

Wang smiled and asked, "Why did the husband have such a change?" ”

Mao Yuanyi said: "The emperor first asked me if I had accepted two concubines, both of them were stunning. I thought crookedly. Then the emperor said that he wanted you to be a female gentleman, and I thought why my concubine should show up, and I was a little resistant in my heart. But when the emperor said that you must agree to it, I felt that the emperor was only a little different from ordinary people, and he wanted you to be a female gentleman, you should know your name, not for other reasons. ”

"And since the two babies followed me, I don't know how to get the emperor's blue eyes, entered the Weapons Bureau, can show their strengths, and get along with colleagues very well. In this way, I will get together less and leave more with my baby. And you are lonely at home, if you can do something you like, I believe it will be better. You are excellent in calligraphy and painting, you should let more people know and teach more students to live up to this talent. ”

Yang Wan said with a smile: "What kind of talent is a concubine, what kind of talent is a husband's talent." We wait for our husband to come home every day, and our hearts are sweet, so how can we be lonely. However, the emperor specifically proposed to the husband that he wanted the concubine to wait to be a female gentleman, and if he refused, he was afraid that the emperor would be dissatisfied. Since the husband also wants us to go, let's go. ”

Wang Wei said: "Sister, I'll go too." It's just that there are only male gentlemen in the normal school, do you want them to teach us? Besides, what else do we need to learn in the normal school first? Can't we be a female gentleman on our own? ”
