Chapter 670: Family Arrangement
The family has added a population, such a happy event, many officials in the capital are naturally here to celebrate, and the officials who can come to the door to celebrate are not low in rank, those officials below the sixth grade in the capital, I am afraid they are not qualified to come to celebrate, especially after the news that Queen Yi'an gave the little guy a jade pendant, many officials came to congratulate in an endless stream.
Such a thing, Su Tiancheng is impossible to refuse, he is not a person who is not emotional, on the contrary, after the crossing, he has a deep understanding of the society of the Ming Dynasty, this is not an era of great republic, let alone an era of human rights at every turn, the elite who support the society is the bureaucratic gentry and rich households, these people are the core of the Ming Dynasty can stand, the interests of this class must be protected, you can't let the peasants divide the land, and it is impossible to hit the gentry and rich households, that way is to find death, Even the rebellious peasant rebel army can't do this, the development of the times has its own laws, the Ming Dynasty society, no matter who it is, accepts the idea of Confucianism, respect and inferiority are very obvious, and the peasants at the bottom are also accepted.
Therefore, if you want to build the Ming Dynasty well, you can only follow such a trend, the premise is to ensure that the people are fed and clothed, and will not freeze and starve to death, as for protecting the power of the people, not being bullied at all, or saying that the government is completely doing things for the people, that is an empty ideal, an impossible thing to achieve, and to struggle around an empty ideal, Su Tiancheng will not do such a stupid thing.
Over the years, Su Tiancheng has also done things according to this thinking, he protects the interests of the bureaucrats and gentry, but emphasizes that the idea of privilege cannot be too serious, and the rich and the bureaucratic gentry with status must also make their own contributions. You must also pay taxes according to the rules, and as for all your property, the government must protect it, and you can't infringe on it at will, unless you do something rebellious.
Only by doing things along these lines of thinking will it be possible to push forward various reforms. Over time, such ideas will gradually be accepted by the bureaucratic gentry, whose power is significantly stronger than that of the common people. That is, the fulfillment of a sentence that there is a difference between people.
Zhu Xianxin was pregnant and was not suitable for reception, mainly Su Pingyang came forward to greet her.
What Su Tiancheng didn't expect was that Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Wu Sangui and others actually came forward and came to Su Mansion. Congratulations and help to receive visitors.
Everyone knows that Su Tiancheng is about to return to Liaodong, and his time in the capital cannot be too long, so many officials are almost all in one to two days. Came to Su Mansion to celebrate.
The banquet must be arranged, and it can only be to a nearby restaurant. Fortunately, in Su Tiancheng's mansion, there is a high-end restaurant nearby, and for three consecutive days, the restaurant was contracted down to entertain many officials.
Su Pingyang, who was very busy, suddenly found Su Tiancheng, who was eating and drinking with the officials in the restaurant.
I saw Su Pingyang coming. Su Tiancheng hurriedly asked Hong Chengchou to help greet everyone, and walked to the private room next door, where no one was seated, waiting for the next group of guests to arrive.
"Young master, the eldest young master is here."
Su Tiancheng didn't understand for a while.
Seeing Su Tiancheng's somewhat stunned expression. Su Pingyang spoke again.
"The eldest young master, Su Tianhao, is here."
"Oh, how many people came, did they just arrive?"
"Yes, it's just that the eldest young master is here alone, and there is no one else."
Su Tiancheng nodded, indicating that he knew that seeing such a situation, Su Pingyang withdrew from the private room, leaving Su Tiancheng alone.
Knowing that Su Tianhao was coming, Su Tiancheng's mood was more complicated, he didn't inform the family of this matter, how did Su Tianhao know about Lu Dao, because of the relationship between the Wang family, he had almost no contact with his family, and he hadn't been back for many years, last year, Zhu Xianxuan once talked about things at home, and when he talked about Su Tianhao, he meant to arrange Su Tianhao to do some other things, always in the palace chief Shi Si, there was no future, this matter, he also expressed his position at the time, but Su Tianhao has not changed, Probably after Zhu Xianxuan took office, there were too many things, so many years have passed, Su Tianhao has always been the Ji Shan of the Governor of the Palace, and there is almost nothing to do in this position, Zhu Xianxuan went to Shaanxi to be the governor, and the Governor of Taiyuan, Shanxi, can be completely revoked, but there are still many Zhu Xianxuan's family members who need to be taken care of, so it has been maintained, at this time, Su Tianhao suddenly came to the capital, what is the matter, of course Su Tiancheng knows.
Su Tianhao is very different from Su Tianran, much stronger, Su Tiancheng is not particularly repulsive to this half-brother, but he can't say that he cares, after all, he has crossed into Su Tiancheng's body, and there is not much family affection, not to mention that this body has encountered a lot of contempt before.
After returning to the mansion, Su Tiancheng did not go to the lobby immediately, and went straight to Zhu Xianxin's room.
Zhu Xianxin knew the purpose of Su Tiancheng's coming, Su Tiancheng had just come in, she told the maid next to her to go out, don't let anyone in, and the maid nodded and went out.
"Husband, the concubine knows what happened to you, the eldest brother came to the capital, it was the news that the concubine sent someone to inform, and the concubine also thought, such a big thing, it must be informed, a few years ago, it was bumpy everywhere, and it was not able to be fixed, so it was not said before, this time, the concubine is in charge."
Su Tiancheng sighed softly.
Zhu Xianxin This is kind, what happened to her, she can't know the way, what she thinks of is filial piety, so she sent someone to inform Su Tianhao, it is estimated that Su Tiancheng decided to come to the capital after thinking about it, as for whether the father and the Wang family know the news of the road, it is not very clear.
"Madam, I know what I said, I still want to thank you, I haven't been in touch with my family all these years."
"Husband, the concubine can see it, there are some things, the concubine understands, but the concubine feels that no matter what, the family still has to take care of it, and the husband is in a high position and can take care of the family, and the concubine is fully supported."
"Okay, you rest, I'll go see my eldest brother."
When Su Tianhao was taken to the study, he looked very restrained, he has been in Taiyuan's palace chief Shi Si, although he said that life is comfortable, but the officials he saw are limited, Changshi is just a five-grade rank, not even as good as Su Pingyang, the former family of the Su family, Su Pingyang and others, Su Pingyang is the prefect of the fourth grade, came to the capital, when he entered the Su Mansion, he saw so many high-ranking officials, he naturally felt restrained.
As for Su Tiancheng's front, it is even more impossible for him to be presumptuous, although he is the eldest brother, Su Tiancheng is already an official of the imperial court, which is an official he cannot see in Shanxi.
The past of the family, Su Tianhao is clear, these years have passed, with the improvement of Su Tiancheng's status, Su Tianhao also feels that his mother's short-sightedness has caused the current ending, his father's life is very comfortable, so he doesn't think about it so much, no one in Pingliang Mansion City dares to offend the Su family, including the prefect, who wants to visit the family every year.
After receiving the news sent by Zhu Xianxin, Su Tianhao's first reaction was to go to the capital by himself, and don't tell his parents and second brother about this matter for the time being, so as not to cause bad things.
"Big brother, don't be nervous, sit down and talk, Uncle Su, go out to greet the guests, just say that I have something to do, delay for a while."
Su Pingyang looked at Su Tianhao, his eyes were a little complicated, and he nodded.
Su Tianhao looked even more cramped, and when he sat down, his body was straight, and his legs were tense.
Seeing such a situation, Su Tiancheng's heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, no matter what, they are half-brothers, they have crossed into this body, and they always have some responsibilities for their parents and brothers, if they always care about the past, or after crossing over, there is not much family affection to prevaricate, and their conscience is still uneasy.
"Do fathers, eldest mothers, and second brothers know about this matter?"
Su Tianhao looked at Su Tiancheng, looking a little surprised, he didn't expect Su Tiancheng to ask about his parents and second brother.
"They didn't know what to say, but I knew the news and came alone."
Su Tiancheng nodded.
"All these years have passed, and I haven't been back, and my family is fine."
"It's all good."
Looking at Su Tianhao's restrained expression, Su Tiancheng knew that he still had to do something for his family.
"Has the eldest brother been in the palace chief Shi Si?"
"Yes, thanks to ...... for this"
Su Tianhao didn't know what to call Su Tiancheng, call him the third brother, I'm afraid that people will be dissatisfied.
Su Tiancheng shook his head slightly.
"I know it, last year, His Royal Highness the King of Jin told me about you, always in the palace chief Shi Si, also stumbled, this time to the capital, the journey is also very hard, stay for the time being, I will find a way to help you renew a position."
Su Tianhao hurriedly stood up and was about to salute Su Tiancheng.
Su Tiancheng also stood up and grabbed Su Tianhao.
"It's all my own brothers, so don't come to this set, come here, whatever."
Su Pingyang came in, it turned out that Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou, Yang Sichang and others came, this time, Su Tiancheng had to come forward, and he couldn't say it if he didn't come forward.
When he was about to leave the study, he looked at Su Tianhao and suddenly thought of something.
"Big brother, you follow me, meet these adults, don't behave so restrainedly."
Su Tianhao nodded again and again, his eyes were full of gratitude, he knew very well what it meant to follow to see these adults, it seems that when he returns home in the future, he must talk to his mother well, if he still acts according to his previous attitude, he suffers a loss, the third brother Su Tiancheng is still very generous, and he doesn't care so much, otherwise he will not be productive in his life.
