Chapter 392: The Snake Comes Out of the Hole
Half a month after sending Yuan Weiting away, Yuqing also came back from the capital, bringing the same news as Sai Jinhua and Yuan Weiting said before. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe chaos in the capital is far beyond everyone's imagination, and even when the two palaces are in full swing, there has never been such a chaos. Cheng Zhen was put to serve as the governor of the three eastern provinces, in fact, he was a pioneer for other relatives and nobles, as long as he could be the governor, other relatives and nobles could naturally do it.
The predecessors opened the way and the later followed, and after Cheng Zhen carried all the infamy, the other relatives could remove Cheng Zhen and replace him.
Cheng Zhen himself is just a gentleman, he has nothing to do as an official, and even if he is in charge of a government, he is not competent, let alone the governor of the three provinces. Before taking office, he accepted a female singer presented by Duan Xiangyan, and for the sake of this woman's face, he promoted Duan to be the governor of Heilongjiang.
This thing was done very improperly, and to appoint a Taoist who had not been appointed as a feudal division as a governor was tantamount to giving the handle to someone else and allowing others to beat him. As soon as he arrived in Mukden, there was already an impeachment of the official in the capital.
Although King Qing listened to Zhao Guanhou's advice, Taoguang kept his mind dark and handed over his authority. But this matter is very troublesome, and it is not easy to suppress it, and now I am quite too busy to take care of myself. If you want to protect your son, it will be difficult for your son-in-law to protect her. If the son-in-law is protected, the son's position is at a disadvantage. Compared with the two, he is naturally a heavy son and a light son-in-law, and on Zhao Guanhou's side, he doesn't have much strength.
In comparison, it was Fuzi who got more help.
Fuzi likes Taixi's bicycle very much, since she became the emperor's biological mother, she has taken her door, and she is not comparable to the old lady's road in Beifu. If the court is like a city, filial piety is perfect. I received a lot of gifts and more silver, but this is the first time I have received a fashionable thing like a bicycle.
After she accepted the gift, she also expressed her attitude that she must maintain the situation for Zhao Guanhou and not let others touch his seal. At the same time, it also revealed a situation, in fact, it was not Chengfeng who wanted to move Zhao Guanhou, in other words, the alcohol king did not have the energy to take care of Shandong now.
The situation in the capital is very chaotic, the Empress Dowager Longyu wants to learn the Cixi curtain training, the King Xiaogong wants to seize power from the hands of the King of Alcohol, and there are also disagreements within the Beifu. The alcohol king tree is a big wind, and it is attacked on all sides, and the temporary attention is not enough to focus on the capital, how can there be any spare strength to take care of Shandong. The real problem is actually Yushan.
Before he left Beijing, he gave Cheng Tao a large sum of money, and he was anxious to become a governor to return to his capital. If he can't get rid of Zhao Guanhou, he won't be able to repay the debt. There are some favors that can only be repaid after being the governor, so I often write to Chengtao in the capital, hoping to be appeased as soon as possible.
Cheng Tao received the filial piety of the coat under the door, and it was not good not to do anything, so he urged Cheng Feng to change generals for three days. He is the youngest and youngest in the family, and he is the most favored, and he dares to slap the table and stare in front of the fifth brother. The relationship with Fuzi is not good, the uncle and sister-in-law are not in harmony, and the housework is very fierce.
In the final analysis, the problem lies in Yushan. Yuqing said: "I discussed with Amma, in fact, this matter is better than going against the grain." Let's talk to Yushan, thousands of miles for officials, for food and clothing. Let's give him a sum of money so that he doesn't go against you, and it's actually a good thing to have him here to watch the seal of the clan for you. The feudal clan can't always let the staff protect the office, and sooner or later the official will have to serve as the feudal station. drove Zhang San away, and Li Si came again, but he couldn't catch up. If the feudal division becomes his own person, then things will be easy to do, and with his relationship with Lao Qi, there will be no change in our Shandong. If it doesn't work, it's better to let him be a governor elsewhere than to take your seat. ”
She was a little embarrassed because her father couldn't help, and she has always had a special status in the family, which is undeniable, and has a lot to do with her status, status, and authority. But King Qing couldn't help this time, which made her feel a little embarrassed in front of her husband. Fortunately, I found out a piece of news in Beijing, which was finally helpful to my husband.
"Yushan's wife died a few years ago, she has not renewed, and she is a widower. I'm also a good fisherman, but I don't like the bottom of the Qingyin small class, and I only like the women of the good family. If he finds a woman of the same age from the women's school, completes this marriage, and gives him a dowry of silver, I think Yushan will not chase after him, and this disaster will be over. What do you think? ”
Zhao Guanhou held Yuqing's hand tightly in his hand, asked about the family in Beijing, and did not answer her question, but Yuqing was anxious. "I'll tell you the truth, how can you tell me this."
"In my mind, that's the right thing. The body of Lao Taishan Taishui, as well as the affairs of Beijing, are much more important than Yushan. I asked you to enter Beijing, of course, to give a gift to Fuzi, but also to think that I didn't go home for the New Year, which is quite unacceptable. I just went to the house, looked at my parents and two elders, and kowtowed a few times for me. It's good to do it, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't work. My Yuqing, so smart, the way she thinks must be excellent, I have nothing to say. ”
Yuqing's face turned red, she took off her shoes, and crossed her legs to raise the kang, "Your mouth, I will sell it for you sooner or later, and I will help you count the silver." Ama and Eniang are in good health, but the eldest brother is there, and Ama is not called worry-free. When I returned to Beijing this time, I also met a few friends from the past, and compared them, although they were big at home, some of them also set rules for men, not to ask for small, or even to ask for small, and not to go to sleep in the room. But compared to it, it's not as good as you are to me. I've followed you in this life, and it's worth it. Come, rub my legs...... Amma is still waiting to hold her grandson......"
Although he got a reply from Shigege, Zhao Guanhou was not in a hurry to find Yushan, in his opinion, it was not time to do it himself. In the current situation, it is also beneficial to let Yushan jump by himself.
In Shandong officialdom, there are many people who are not convinced by themselves because of their origin and age. It's just that the Empress Dowager Cixi's means are too strong, even if everyone complains, they don't dare to send it, they are very respectful to him on the surface, but no one knows what they think in their hearts.
This time, since Yushan came out to oppose him, he can just take a look at who is advancing and retreating with him, and if he breathes out of one nostril, he will be able to catch it all in the future.
The next day, it was Cuiyu's day, and when the two of them were about to go to bed, Cuiyu suddenly said to Zhao Guanhou: "Guanhou, there is one thing, I don't know whether to say it or not." It's not accurate, it's just a half-claw, and it doesn't seem to be very good......"
"Cuiyu, why are you still talking to me, say. Is there something wrong with the family? Could it be that a woman who has a little white face outside and is seen by you? ”
Cuiyu snorted, "What nonsense, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense, how can we meet people when we say it?" It's not their business, it's the second sister-in-law. ”
Since Zou Xiurong signed and left the book, he and Meng Siyuan have broken off their relationship as husband and wife. Zhao Guanhou did not stamp the two people and the letter of separation, nor did he allow the officials below to cover it, this matter is not legally passed, but for the parties, it is already the same as peace. Meng Siyuan sent people to send dozens of cages, which contained not only Zou Xiurong's dowry that day, but also some real estate deeds, which were obviously dividing the property of the husband and wife.
It is said that there is also a piece of Zou Xiurong's clothes when he went to school, which the two wore on their first date, and they sent it all to prove that they were broken. Zou Jingze boasted that there was no remarried daughter in the family and no man who broke the law. For her daughter and her departure, it is regarded as a great shame, and Zou Xiurong is not allowed to return to her parents' house, and she is currently living in the governor's yamen.
Fortunately, she is more Westernized, and she did not seek death and life because of harmony, at least during the day, she behaved as usual, still responsible for Shandong's financial accounting, and the general review of military rations. Hearing that something was wrong with her, Zhao Guanhou also raised his attention.
"What's the matter? The second sister-in-law is here, we are responsible, in the future, I will also promote the reunion of their husband and wife, if there is any mistake, I will be sorry for the second brother. ”
"I don't dare to say this, but I just listened to the people below say that when the second sister-in-law went to the Buzheng Yamen to pay off the account book a few days ago, Yushan said something to her. After the breakup, the second sister-in-law's behavior was a little weird, her spirit was a little trance, and she didn't give up for two or three days, and she didn't know what the reason was. ”
"Yushan again? This guy dances very happily, I really don't know how to write dead words. I don't want to ask about this, you women talk to each other, ask the second sister-in-law what's going on, if Yushan is unreasonable to her, I want his life! ”
Cuiyu shook her head, "The eldest lady went and asked, but she didn't ask anything." You also know that the eldest lady is not like the past now, she has some skills, and she can't even ask, and it is estimated that it will be useless for others to go. Whoever asks, the second sister-in-law is all one sentence, nothing. I have seen many women in the courtyard have similar expressions when they are in trouble, so I want to say a word to you. You have to be concerned about it, don't let anything happen to your second sister-in-law. But this is related to a feudal lord, in case things don't go right, the second sister-in-law is sad for something else, and the consequences are also very serious, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
"Good Cuiyu, you sent this news very right, no matter what the reason, the second sister-in-law's performance is not normal, and it must be related to Yushan. I have to find Yushan and have a good talk. ”
did not wait for Zhao Guanhou to find Yushan, but Yushan first sent a post and asked Zhao Guanhou to meet. When this person first arrived in Shandong, his edge was not exposed, as if he was harmless to humans and animals. At this time, the situation in the capital changed, and he took the opportunity to make trouble, but he showed an extremely excellent ability to do things, which made people dare not underestimate him anymore. Although he sought the governor of Shandong, he also had good talents.
The two met, that is, in the proud building where Cuiyu was the boss, and after sitting down, Yushan toasted first, greeted Zhao Guanhou, and praised the chef's skills. It wasn't until he had gossiped that he got to the point
"Xia Guan looked through the account book in the past few days and found that several sums of money did not match. The amount is very large, and the matter is not detailed, and the subordinate himself does not dare to deal with this matter, so he specially invites the adults to come and ask for advice in person. These payments have occurred in the past two years, of which there are three related to Siheng's charge d'affaires and two for river workers, and the rest are all from Shandong Textile Factory. Also, at the Shandong Arsenal, the accounts are in a mess and there is no way to sort them out, which also makes it difficult for the lower officials to explain. My lord, you know, the situation of the lower official is also very difficult, I don't hide it from you, when the lower official went out of Beijing, the seventh master had an explanation, and the lower official came to Shandong this time to investigate. If there is any leakage that is not reported, the seventh master will not spare me. ”
Zhao Guanhou nodded and smiled, "Yu Fantai, what you said is right, I can understand your difficulties, and I also know your thoughts." Here in Shandong, there are some accounts that are really not clear, because time is tight and there are many things. In order to get things done, you have to use some extraordinary means, and you can't follow the rules, and I think the Jade Domain can also understand. Of course, since you are under the order of the Seventh Master, I can't stop it, it's a big deal, just go to the court and make it clear. ”
"Tell me clearly? How can this be clearly explained? Yushan, on the contrary, looked serious, as if the seniors were mentioning the juniors.
"Now in the court, I don't care about right or wrong at all, I only care who you are. The adults are young, and they punched and kicked in Shandong, and they fought such a good situation, and the hardships and difficulties in this are understandable to the lower officials. But it is useless for the lower officials to be considerate, and no one in the court will be considerate. Those big people, they don't look at these, they only look at where your people stand, whether we are on their side or someone else's side. I don't hide it from my lord, the relationship between you and Yuan Gongbao is very taboo of the Seventh Master. The seventh master and the first emperor have a deep brotherly relationship, and they have been saying that they want to avenge the first emperor. ”
"Revenge? Then it is difficult to say this, where does this hatred come from, and where does the words come from? If the Seventh Master says to change the law, I will only act according to orders. That will has both the emperor's decree and the Lafayette's decree, and I don't know how to repay this revenge. ”
"Lord Zhao, now is not the time to be angry. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, have you always heard this? This court is the same as our officials. There are three fires for new officials, and whoever goes to a new place to be an official will inevitably bring a few people. In addition to the human face, the biggest reason here is reliability. The sedan chair shift, the long attendant to the government service horse fast, who doesn't want to be the person they have to use, who wants to use the work left? Adults are not from the Seventh Master, you understand. There are not many elite soldiers like you in the governor, and they are not of the same heart as the seventh master, so even less, this is naturally unbearable, no matter how good you do, it is useless. If you make trouble with these few sums of money, it is even as simple as just picking off the top. But the matter is man-made, as long as the adults show their sincerity to the seventh master and let them know that you are their own person, this matter is not a matter, from the lower officials, I promise not to say a word more, and even this account I will help you settle it. ”
In and out of his words, he revealed from time to time that the Seventh Master could influence the choice of the governor of Shandong, but he could influence Cheng Tao's decision. Zhao Guanhou listened attentively and couldn't help nodding, "The kindness of the Jade Domain, Zhao has a sense of guilt, and he will never forget it." Seventh Master, I'm afraid you have to bother more and give a few good words. I also know that the expenses in the Seventh Master's Mansion are large, and I am willing to repay tens of thousands of taels of silver to the Seventh Master to reward people, and the Jade Domain Division has another thanks. ”
Yushan twisted his hair and smiled, "Lord Zhao, you are really a smart person, you can understand it at all." Everyone is an official in the same province, this matter is not in a hurry, will it be a long time in the future? Right now, there is really something to ask Lord Zhao to come out. Xiaguan died for several years and has not been renewed. Not long ago, Xia Guan met a woman in Shandong, which was very agreeable. This woman has a bit of a relationship with adults, if Lord Zhao is willing to come forward to talk about it for me, it will definitely be done. If this marriage can be completed, we are also relatives, your business is my business, the seventh master, I will help you say it. ”
"Jade Domain, with your talents, the future is limitless. Marrying a wife, this is a big deal, I don't know which woman is so blessed to be your lady of the palm print? ”
"I can't talk about good fortune. The matter of men and women is important in one fate, and when fate arrives, there is also a daughter with a beggar. As far as I am concerned, this marriage is actually my high climb. But I am really sincere, and after getting married, I will definitely be wholeheartedly devoted to her, and I will not let her suffer a little grievance. This woman has also suffered some changes recently, and it is a time when she needs to be taken care of by a man, and I think it will be a good thing for her if she marries me. As for the name, it is the one who lives in your mansion, Miss Zou. (To be continued.) )
