Chapter 603: Shanxi Revolution (Part II)

Li Cailian's majesty is getting bigger and bigger.

This time Li Cailian's trip to Shanxi, nominally on behalf of the Queen Mother, was to sacrifice to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country over the years for Xuanda, so that these loyal souls who sacrificed their lives for the Ming Dynasty could ascend to blissful life as soon as possible, which was a serious matter that had a lot to do with the border army and even the imperial court, and had absolutely nothing to do with the belly of his wife. Taicang allocated coins, the palace has both the queen mother's decree and the emperor's holy decree, travel using the queen mother's Luan, along the way the government to worship, the pomp and the queen mother personally to Shanxi is no different. Even Fan Jin didn't have a chance to meet when he took over, so he could only follow a group of Shanxi magistrates to open the way in front, and it was not until the lunch break that his wife sent someone to announce it, saying that he had something to ask Fan according to the court, and no one else heard it. This must be a secret decree, thinking of Fan Jin's recent actions in Shanxi and Tumut, these magistrates are more and more convinced that it is what the imperial court is going to do in Shanxi, and Fan Jin is just a knife. Mrs. Li's words must have been asked for the emperor and the queen mother.

"Do you like boys or girls, say it!" Inside the inn. Li Cailian looked nervous, her eyes were fixed on Fan Jin, this problem was really very serious, and it was not suitable for others to hear.

Fan Jin smiled and said, "As long as you give birth, boys and girls are fine." I gave him the surname Fan and entered it into the family tree. ”

Li Cailian finally let out a sigh. After making such a big sacrifice, what I am most afraid of is becoming the object of use by others. For Fan Jin, this child is actually a life-urging talisman, and if he doesn't do it well, he will ruin his life on it. The current month has not yet reached the time when he can't move, if he says that he wants to take medicine to get rid of the child, Li Cailian will not refuse, but this relationship is also broken. Hearing him say this, Li Cailian felt very warm in her heart, as if the two were really a family.

She smiled and said, "You're beautiful!" The boy is going to give him the surname Lee. Inherit the incense of our Li family. Besides, if you send it to your house, you can't be bullied by your big lady? Zhang Shunqing is not easy to mess with, so I don't let my son be angry with her. This is also for Fan Jin's sake, and he reciprocates the favor.

Fan Jin carefully escorted Li Cailian to sit down, and put his head on her belly to listen, the two laughed for a while, Li Cailian said: "Guess, who did I bring this time?" ”

"This ...... How to guess? Fan Jin's mind quickly flashed over those famous and noble girls in Huang'en Temple, there were so many people, how could he guess who they were.

"Brother-in-law!" A crisp call, and then Xu Liu ran over briskly and saluted Fan. Even if Fan Jin wanted to run away, he would not have thought that it was her, and he was very surprised when he looked at Li Cailian's expression. Li Cailian wears the same xia veil as the queen mother's dress, and the wide robe and large sleeves can cover her figure very well, even if she is in the womb, she can't see any mistakes from her appearance. Whether Xu Liu knew the secret of this pregnancy was still unknown, and Fan Jin didn't know whether to say it or not. I just wondered why I brought this girl to Shanxi, and I didn't understand how she ran here from Jiangning.

Li Cailian said: "Miss Six knows everything, so there is no need to hide it." People have traveled all the way from Jiangning to the capital, who is this for? Speaking of conscience, even I feel distressed when I see it. Miss Six come here, you have been serving me these days, and you have suffered a lot, and I have also seen your affection, and I will do what I promised you for you, and I will help you do what you want to do. ”

Xu Liu's face turned red instantly, he glanced down at Fan Jin, and then came to Li Cailian and sat down. Fan Jin coughed, wanting to divert the topic. It's not that he can't feel Xu Liu's good impression of him, but he really can't respond. This girl is not one of those idle flowers and weeds, if it is broken, the Wei Mansion is not so easy to deal with. Mrs. Mu is a powerful character, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to start, and the disaster will not necessarily be less than Li Cailian's matter. thought that Xu Liu could forget herself during this time, or prepare to get married, but who knew that she really killed from Jiangning to the capital, and then came all the way to Shanxi, and this action seemed to be rising.

Li Cailian asked Fan Jin to sit down opposite at this time, and asked again, "I'll tell you something serious." On the way, I heard that you are tossing all the way in Shanxi, and you are the acting king's mansion and Tumut, and now you have to attack Zhang Siwei again. There are some things to discuss below, I don't know if this is what you mean, or what Zhang Xiang means, and some people even suspect that this is His Majesty's intention, and he wants to cut the feudal domain again. That's not a good thing. If the vassal kings share the same hatred, even the queen mother will be embarrassed. ”

Fan Jin said: "I'm not an enemy of the vassal king, on the contrary, I'm helping the vassal king." Listen to me......"

If you want to implement the new law and carry out land inspection, you will inevitably be opposed to the local gentry and even the vassal kings. Even under Fan Jin's persuasion, the new law has already become gentle and silent, and the damage to these rich families has been reduced a lot, but the environment in Shanxi is complex and the situation is relatively special. The feudal kings and the tycoons occupied large tracts of land, and these tycoons were also important enough to influence the supply of military rations in the Nine Sides. Mere killings and threats will not bring these people to their knees. If they are really anxious, as long as they no longer undertake the work of transporting military rations, the nine sides will be paralyzed immediately. Now is not the year of Hong Wu, hoping to rely on Wang Fajia to make businessmen succumb will only reshuffle the world.

To deal with these people, you can only use both grace and power. Open up the Silk Road, open up trade routes for Shanxi as much as possible, master the Tumut tribe, let the horse market be long-term and large-scale, and give smuggling Mongolia an opening, so that Jin merchants can trade with Tumut at the same time, this is all welfare. In terms of deterrence, it is not insufficient, but it is difficult to say whether it is enough. Li Cailian's arrival is Fan Jin's most reliable support soldier, as long as she is willing to help, everything will be easy.

But whether this woman will help herself, it's hard to say. She can give birth to a child for Fan Jin, this is the love of the two, which does not mean that she will help Fan Jin implement his system. If Li Cailian thought that these things would threaten the safety of her child's father, she would forcibly take Fan Jin away from Shanxi instead of letting him continue to do it.

In order to persuade Li Cailian, Fan Jin took out all the solutions, from the Daiwangfu to the Zhangjia family and Tumute, the dense structure of the entire Shanxi and the involvement of each other are all clear. Li Cailian nodded as she listened, but Xu Liu's eyes were already full of admiration.

"My brother-in-law is the best. When you are in Jiangning, you can do those big things, and it will be the same when you go to Shanxi. I knew that there was nothing to bother my brother-in-law. ”

Fan Jin found that his performance seemed to make Xu Liu more interested in him. At this age, she was a hero worshipper, and now she was interested in writing, and she was even more interested in her own adventures. I shouldn't have let her listen, I want to cut off her thoughts, I'm afraid it will be more laborious.

He shook his head and said: "I just succeed because of people, relying on Her Majesty the Queen Mother's shadow, and relying on a cadre to use my life, and I really don't have any talent." ”

"You're underestimating yourself like that." Li Cailian objected: "There are many people sent by the imperial court, and I think you are the only one who can do these things." This one Tumut alone...... If the thing is done, the credit is not under the tribute I received back then. Your father-in-law always thinks that you have taken advantage of their family, and this time he should let him know that marrying his daughter to you is also the blessing of the old Zhang family. With this merit, he can be promoted. ”

Zhang Juzheng is already a very popular minister, and then he naturally adds the honorary titles of three dukes and three orphans. Wenchen usually refuses the title of three dukes, for example, Yang Tinghe resolutely rejected Jiajing's grace to give him the title. But considering Zhang Juzheng...... Fan Jin felt that this time it might be his father-in-law who touched the light of his son-in-law. After enjoying the benefits of the Zhang family for so long, it is time to make something in return.

Li Cailian said: "These are all trivial things, that is, you are going to do it to the Zhang family now, are you sure?" That's your teacher, and if you don't do it, you're going to set yourself on fire. ”

"The evidence has been sent to the capital, as for how to deal with it, I think there will definitely be trade-offs in Lao Taishan. Now it's mostly on our side. ”

"Hmm. I'll accompany you to Puzhou. Li Cailian thought for a while and said: "Zhang Yunling has a very close relationship with the Xiangyuan Palace, you want to deal with him, but I am afraid that the palace will interfere." You have already run a prince, you can't run another county king. In that case, even if you say that you are not deliberately against the clan, no one will believe your words. On the side of King Xiangyuan, I'll tell them, just concentrate on dealing with Zhang Yunling. And ......"

She looked at Fan Jin, with a hint of shame on her face, "I am very satisfied with what you wrote, and I want you to sing it to me tonight." Your two women are in the procession, but you are not allowed to go to them, and you are mine and my son's tonight, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. ”

Beijing, Zhang Juzheng Fuzhong.

Zhang Siwei was invited to Zhang's house to watch the play by Zhang Juzheng's invitation. Although Zhang Siwei is from Shanxi, in order to make friends in high society, he has long practiced the ability to understand and evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of Kunshan dialect. The repertoire is the Peony Pavilion, because Fan Jin wrote the script in advance, in this time and space, this story has become one of Fan Jin's masterpieces, and there is nothing to do with Tang Xianzu.

The officials were fascinated by what they heard, and from time to time some people sighed and praised them. The content of the praise is to praise how well the record book is written, but there is no praise for the singer himself. It wasn't until Zhang Juzheng shouted to see that these officials changed their words and began to evaluate that people and the song book complement each other, and only such famous singers can live up to the words of such good words.

This is the majesty of Shousuke.

Zhang Siwei knows in his heart that the play is a good play, and the skills of the servants are also excellent, but it has nothing to do with the drama itself that can be praised by so many people. Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang in the story, he always felt that they were the reference of Fan Jin and Zhang Shunqing. After all, the process of combining the two always has such and such legends, and the rumors in the capital are still preached. The popularity of such a drama is actually subtly reversing people's cognition, telling everyone that even if it is like that, there is nothing to criticize, but it should be blessed.

Zhang Juzheng's style has changed somewhat. How could Zhang Juzheng in the past care so much, if he objected, it would be useless to say the truth. If he supports it, it will be the same. Let the world criticize and write, as long as Zhang Juzheng recognizes this son-in-law, other people's words are meaningless.

Now he has begun to use strategy to use means, instead of blindly subduing people with force. This change has made Zhang Juzheng more difficult to deal with, and although the Jiangling Party is still the same, it has begun to look a little bit from the beginning of the scattered sand. Zhang Juzheng himself has always been disgusted with the style of lecturing, but now he has set up an official school and let his henchmen serve as lecturers. Although these things were carried out under the orders of the imperial court, they still made Zhang Siwei feel inexplicably unhappy and worried. Zhang Juzheng's spirit seems to be getting better and better, and his body, which was originally within reach, has gradually become tall and majestic, and the gap between himself and him has been widened again.

He prefers to believe that this is his own delusion. It was Fan Jin's actions in Shanxi that made him feel uneasy. He wrote a letter to his father and asked him to cooperate with Fan Jin to help him implement the new law, even if it was to reduce food prices, it would not be hindered. Anyway, he is leaving, and when he makes a career, he will transfer him back to the capital, and Shanxi is still his own world. But the response he received made his heart rise to his throat.

My father is famous, and now he is not confused, but he is too stubborn. He firmly believes in his own truth and sticks to his own interests, like a tiger in the twilight, desperately guarding his territory. Fan Jin's proposition infringes on what he thinks is the foundation, and he can't make the old man back down when he speaks.

There is no way, the son can't change the father, and when Lao Tzu decides this matter, the son can't stop it. He has recently come to Zhang Juzheng's mansion more often, that is, he came here to dredge the joints in advance, so that he can advance and retreat in the future. The conflict between the old and the young should not affect the relationship between himself and Zhang Juzheng at this stage...... It's not time to turn the other cheek yet.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhang Siwei at this time: "Fengpan, how do you see this play?" ”

"These servants have outstanding skills and are qualified to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"Fengpan only praises people but not Ben, presumably because he thinks the drama is not good?"

"It is good to be good at drama, but with the talent of retreat, it should be a major event to help the people through the world, and hard work on this trail is not a proper job. Although he is Taiyue's son-in-law, he is also my disciple after all, and when he comes back from Shanxi, I will say a few words about him. Now that he has become an official and has become Taiyue Dongbed, he should devote his mind to doing business. When he reaches the age of you and me, it's not too late to write these things. ”

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "When I was a teenager, I also heard my teacher say this to myself. We always can't watch young people have fun because of our own hard work, which is not good. If you don't get rid of this problem, sooner or later you will become an old disgust. ”

Zhang Jiangling actually joked? Zhang Siwei felt more and more in his heart that Fan Jin's influence on Zhang Juzheng was too great, and he had to deal with it as soon as possible. At this time, the garden dream had already passed, and Zhang Juzheng said: "I recently wrote a record book, sent someone to the capital quickly, and begged me to arrange a team rehearsal." Fengpan will follow me to see how this record book is written. ”

The two left the table all the way to the nearby small study, You Chubin was guarding the door outside, Zhang Juzheng pushed a stack of thick papers in front of Zhang Siwei, and said with a smile: "Fengpan, look at how your protΓ©gΓ©'s new work is, is it worthy of the cultivation of your teacher." ”

Zhang Siwei also smiled and spread it out, but soon, his smile condensed. looked up at Zhang Juzheng opposite, and saw that Zhang Juzheng was still smiling. He read a few more pages, his body began to tremble slightly, and he wanted to stop reading, but he saw Zhang Juzheng's eyes staring at him, and his expression could not be refused. He could only read page by page, and by the time he finished reading the last page, the person was already paralyzed, not so much kneeling, but lying in front of Zhang Juzheng.

"Why is Fengpan like this? You and I have been friends for many years, why bother giving such a big gift. Zhang Juzheng shook his head and sighed, but he didn't mean to help. I know that you can interfere from time to time, and it's not your intention, Feng Pan doesn't have to blame himself. You and I have been friends for many years, and I know your personality well, and I will not distrust you because of these things. But...... How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep a house? Some things should always be dealt with cleanly, do it yourself, it's better than outsiders, I don't know what Fengpan thinks? ”

"Little brother, thank you Taiyue for your care!"
