Chapter 437: Adding Blockage and Chaos
Rao is Su clan is definitely not the character who likes to say who is not behind people, after waiting for her drunk husband to go to bed and lie down that night, she really couldn't help the anger in her heart, and unconsciously came to Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei's residence. Seeing the two of them get up to greet each other, there was a book on the high table on the side, she helped up the two people who were about to salute, and curiously stepped forward to take a look, but found that it was a volume of Yangzhou Mansion Chronicles, and she was amazed. However, she didn't come today to explore what the two of them liked in their spare time, but to vent her frustration.
There are some things she can't say to her son, let alone her daughter-in-law, but although Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei are guests, she found the shadow of her former cousin Mrs. Su in the past few days, and unconsciously spit out that resentment.
"The lord has always been cautious as an official, not climbing the peak, not sycophant and powerful, and he had nothing to do with the old man of the high pavilion in the past, but the old man of the high pavilion coincidentally wrote a letter to recommend the master, and he stopped before he had time to play, and now he has sent someone to let the master be careful, which is simply too tricky!"
During the day, the news of Gao Gong's resignation spread all over the city in an instant, and everything was said, how could Ye Mingyue and Xiaobei not know? Especially Xiaobei, on the one hand, because of Shao Fang, he hated Gao Gong who borrowed someone to take the position, and on the other hand, because his father was able to rehabilitate Zhaoxue and reinstate him, he was quite grateful to Gao Gong. But this mood has not been completely adjusted, Gao Gong has already been dismissed, she really feels that the imperial court is too dangerous place, fortunately, now Ye Junyao has been promoted to Huining Dao, instead of returning to the court as an official.
At this moment, hearing Su Shi say that Gu Tingzhen was implicated for no reason, the two sisters were all taken aback. After asking carefully, Ye Mingyue immediately asked, "Auntie, is it really the old man Gao Ge who sent someone to inform my uncle?" ”
"How not? This is what the man who came to tell the lord clearly, and when the lord comes back at night, he borrows wine to kill his sorrows. If I hadn't been drunk and spit out the truth, I wouldn't have been able to ask! No wonder some people often said that Gao Ge was domineering before, this is really too domineering, when the old man was suppressed by the salt patrol imperial history a few days ago, why didn't he come out to help the master, but now the news suddenly came out. If the master is really cheated, there is nowhere to find it! ”
Seeing that Ye Mingyue suddenly fell into deep thought, Xiaobei couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "The messenger just claims to be from the Gao family. Gao Ge Lao is a person who has been ordered to leave Beijing on the same day, and he is still too busy to take care of himself, even if he wants to send a letter out, at most he has time to give it to his confidants who have been reused in the past. He's that stupid? ”
Although the voice was soft, Su Shi was next to him, of course, he could hear it clearly, and he couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. It happened suddenly, and her husband was so angry all of a sudden, why didn't he smoke from all of a sudden? But if you think about it, it's really this truth, if the high arch is still in place. It's done again, let's talk about it. The old man doesn't say that he is grateful to Dade, he will always remember this favor in his heart, but now he has not succeeded at all, he just wrote a note, is it not good to hide it as if there is no such thing, why do you want to take it here as if there are no three hundred taels of silver? Is it possible to expect the old man to be concerned about this sentiment because of this. Speak for it? But I don't have this heart, I don't have this strength, I don't have this courage!
Ye Mingyue glanced at Xiaobei and said to Su Shi with a smile: "Auntie, although Xiaobei is just a casual guess, there is a way that he is not afraid of shadows, and his uncle had no contact with Gao Ge Lao in the past. At this time, instead of being restless, it is better to do what to do and be at ease. Heng Zhi is like what my aunt said, if there is really anything, that Yan Patrol Imperial Shi Fang is Gao Ge Lao's former cronies, he is in front, and his uncle has to stand in the back. As long as others can't find fault in official business, even if it is suppressed for a while, there will always be opportunities in the future. ”
When Su Shi heard the words of the two sisters, most of the depression in his heart suddenly dissipated. She nodded thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "As soon as you two interpreter flowers say, the big stone in my heart has finally been put down." It's okay, it's useless to think too much at this time, it's better to go with the flow. ”
The three aunts and nephews talked for a while, and Su Shi said goodbye and left. At this time, Ye Mingyue was not interested in studying Yangzhou Mansion Chronicles with Xiaobei anymore. She stared at Xiaobei for a long time, and then asked seriously: "What you said about Gao Gong just now, all of them were your own thoughts?" ”
"Who is so stupid after being suddenly dismissed, sending a messenger all the way through the city to deliver letters?" Xiaobei raised his eyebrows, and his face immediately darkened, "I didn't bring any letter to my father when Yan Song was the prime minister, but that Yan Shifan was shameless and pestered his father." Because his father had sent a lot of gifts to the Yan family back then, he had a relationship of cutting and untidying up, and Yan Shifan wanted to hold the letters in his hand to exchange letters, so he had no choice but to maintain contacts. If he hadn't been copied and found out later, my father wouldn't have died in prison! Gao Gong must have known what happened back then, how could he do this, and besides, his uncle was not familiar with him, so it didn't matter at all! ”
It turned out that she remembered Hu Zongxian's incident back then, and it wasn't Wang Fulin who reminded her...... This girl is finally no longer just a free impulsive character.
Ye Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, then shook the slightly cool hands, and said softly: "Don't think about it, let's go to bed early." ”
"Sister, they all say that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, do you think this is right?" Seeing Ye Mingyue's face stiffen suddenly, Xiaobei hurriedly shook his head and said, "I know I shouldn't ask, sister, don't think about it, I just said it casually." I'm going to sleep! ”
Seeing that Xiao Beida shouted to the girl outside the door to fetch water to come in, she soaked her feet and changed her clothes after three times and five divided by two, and then went to bed and lay down, Ye Mingyue only felt that her heart was beating fast. She knows very well where Xiaobei's thoughts come from, and she also knows that after she has undergone great changes, she is now the daughter of the Ye family and not the daughter of the Hu family, unlike those descendants who have been wronged by their ancestors who have to rely on the court Zhaoxue to re-enter the officialdom, so she will naturally be grateful to Jun En and the courtiers who speak up, Xiaobei is more grateful in her heart, it is the Ye family, it is the people like Lu Guangwu who have sheltered her, it is He Xinyin and other staff members who have followed Hu Zongxian, and it is people like Wang Fulin who have run for the sacrifice.
In contrast, a single thought can make loyal ministers and good generals fall to dust, and they can restore their famous imperial power after death, but I am afraid that Xiaobei will not have any gratitude.
In the final analysis, they have been raised by Mrs. Su since they were children and have read Confucian scriptures, but what they are exposed to is not Zhu Zi's science, but the unedited Confucius and Mencius originals. She still remembers. When I read "Confucius said, the king of the Tao cannot be stopped", how shocked he was; How deafening it was to hear Mencius's "the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light"; As for what Mencius said. "The secretary of the noble relatives, if you have a big mistake, you will admonish; If you don't listen to it repeatedly, you will be transposed." No wonder Zhu Yuanzhang was angry at the beginning of the country and belittled Mencius's status, which emperor could stand such thoughts?
It wasn't until she lay on the bed that she heard Xiao Beinene's voice in her ears: "Sister, I won't say that in front of others......"
"Well, you have to remember to be measured." Ye Mingyue pulled her up a little bit, and then said softly, "Don't think about it." Go to sleep. ”
First of all, Emperor Longqing died, and then within a few days, Shoufu Gao Gong was dismissed, and these news naturally shook Yangzhou officialdom. After all, the emperor is dead, and the young lord is on the throne, which should not have much impact on the officials in the world, so everyone can be officials as usual. But if the arch falls, it means that the cronies who relied on his arm at the beginning are likely to be purged. Isn't it a few happy and a few sad? Of course, most of the people who need to worry are the official seals, and those subordinate officials can stay out of the situation and gloat and watch the excitement. And God seems to be adding to the blockage at this time, and it has been raining continuously for days, even if you have an umbrella, you can't withstand the storm.
In the heavy rain of the early morning, several carriages stopped at the gate of the city hall. Although at first, Master Cheng swore that he would not let them suffer. And things have changed a lot in the past few days, but for salt merchants, nothing is more important than making money. In the hall of Cheng's mansion, a few salt merchants who had always been good friends with Master Cheng asked Master Cheng how to distribute the remaining salt, and Cheng Naixuan frowned. But he couldn't interject on this occasion. Shao had to bump Wang Fulin with his elbow and motioned him to go up to help his father, but what he got was Wang Fulin's gentle shake.
"You should all know that the two Huai Patrol Salt Imperial History is the confidant of the old Gao Ge in the past, and he has suddenly encountered a great change, although he is barely still on the council, but the efficiency of the order test, you can also see it. Moreover, it has been raining for several days, and I have already transferred all the remaining salt originally stored in Shao Bo Town to Datongshan just in case......"
As if echoing Master Cheng's words, I saw a white light flash outside the room, followed by a thunderbolt, and a handful of old salt merchants subconsciously squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands. When Master Cheng helped him up, he said with an unnatural face: "Also, it seems that God also knows that the first emperor has just died, and it won't ......be over as soon as it rains."
Almost at the same time, there was a banging knock on the door outside, and as Master Cheng came in with a drink, it was Cheng Hu, who was drenched, entered the house. He didn't care about greeting with others, and said angrily: "It has rained continuously in Guide Mansion and Xuzhou, and it is said that the water of the Yellow River has risen overnight, and now it has been poured into the canal, and the canal water in Gaoyou Baoying has overflowed into the city, and urgently sent people to Yangzhou Mansion to report, and now the north canal is urgently filling sandbags to stop the water, but it seems that Huaiyang City may not be spared." ”
Is it really flooding?
The salt merchants in the room couldn't help but look at each other, and then someone exclaimed, "God, the stacks there are full of salt!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the others gasped all at once. You must know that if there are other goods stored, as long as the house is strong and not washed down, the flooded goods may be lost, but there is still some left, but if they are replaced with salt...... If you soak in the water, you won't even have a fart left! Although the rain has been falling intermittently for several days, sometimes heavy and sometimes small, and there have always been rumors of flooding, the problem is that they all think that this is Master Cheng's strategy, who knows that it will be true!
"The Yellow River floods once in two or three years, and it is not the first time that the canal is backfilled.
As soon as the words fell, the room was suddenly filled with happy voices. A middle-aged salt merchant gloated and shouted, "We can't believe it, who can not believe Brother Cheng?" Of course, it was moved out early. I heard that Wang Daomin has successively transported a lot of salt back and put it in the stack to wait for inspection, and there are many more on the way, this time there is a big flood, he doesn't know how much to lose! ”
