Chapter 249: Fangjiazhuang
Yang Xiaoyu rode on horseback and led a group of hundreds of people out of the city.
Outside the city gates.
He Tao was dressed in a flying fish suit, waiting outside the city early in the morning, and when he saw Yang Xiaoyu and his party coming out, he saluted from afar.
Beizhen Fusi led thousands of households in various places, and He Tao was the chief official of Zhejiang Qianhu, and Yang Xiaoyu's promotion to the official naturally couldn't hide from him.
Moreover, when Yang Xiaoyu entered the city yesterday, the news reached his ears.
He was going to Yang Mansion to meet Yang Xiaoyu in the morning, and secretly reported that Lord Yang was going to leave the city, so he hurriedly rushed out of the city to meet him.
He Tao was waiting outside the city to see Yang Xiaoyu, but he was somehow known by Li Yanwu under the command of the guards.
When he heard that the commander of the envoy had become a high-ranking official in the capital, he hurriedly brought his subordinates to make a friendship.
Yang Xiaoyu rode out of the city, and saw a group of civil and military generals waiting on the official road, thinking that the prince was coming, so he hurriedly waved his hand to stop the car and let the prince drive first.
"My lord, according to my subordinates, they are all here to see you!" Cao Tai's eyes swept over the people in front of him, and he immediately reported forward.
Yang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and then waved his hand to let the car continue walking.
"My subordinates have seen Lord Yang" He Tao saw a group of hundreds of flying fish riding slowly, and Lord Yang, who was the leader, was only ten steps away from him, and hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Li Yanwu and the others also bowed down and saluted.
Yang Xiaoyu took his subordinates to turn over and dismount, walked over to He Tao and the others, and said with a smile: "Lord Li, Lord He, all my lords, I haven't seen you for a few months, how are you?" ”
"Thanksgiving Hongfu, the subordinates and others are fine!" He Tao replied with a smile.
The others also smiled back and said yes.
Yang Xiaoyu nodded. After saying a few words to the officials of the guards, Li Yanwu and the others went to the car to meet Mrs. Fang, and he pulled He Tao to the side and admonished: "The situation in the imperial court is not clear for the time being, you first make some achievements in Hangzhou, and then this official will transfer you to Beijing as an official." ”
"Thank you, Lord for help!" He Tao dreamed of entering Beijing as an official, so he hurriedly thanked him at this time.
Yang Xiaoyu carried He Tao. took a fancy to He Tao's background, after all, He Tao is an official from Zhejiang, and he is in the same place, and transferring him to Jinyiwei is tantamount to cultivating wings for himself.
"My lord, how is the governor of Zhejiang?" He Tao understood what Yang Xiaoyu meant, and asked hurriedly.
Yang Xiaoyu nodded slightly, there are some things that don't need to be said, just know it.
Wait until Li Yanwu and the others have worshiped Mrs. Fang. Yang Xiaoyu said goodbye to the officials, and then continued to walk forward with the group.
After walking for more than ten miles, he was worried that Mrs. Fang would ask questions, so he got into Mrs. Fang's carriage under the pretext of having a stomachache.
In the car, Mrs. Fang watched Yang Xiaoyu sit next to Liu Zihua, looked like she was taking care of her, and asked with a smile: "Miss Liu, everyone is beautiful." Poetry and writing are outstanding, you have to treat her well! ”
Yang Xiaoyu was happy in his heart. Fortunately, he made up a set of life history for Liu Zihua, otherwise, if Mrs. Fang knew that he had made a Qin Huai song. When the prostitute comes home, she has to break with him again.
"Mother, the car is too small, the child and Zihua sit in the back carriage!" Then he didn't wait for Mrs. Fang to speak. Yang Xiaoyu hurriedly pulled Liu Zihua out of the carriage and sat in the spacious carriage behind.
Mrs. Fang thought that young people liked greasy taste, so she didn't care.
Along the way, Yang Xiaoyu and Liu Zihua were tired of being together, talking about poetry. Passing the time of boredom.
Liu Zihua is outstanding, and Yang Xiaoyu has benefited a lot from being with her.
No wonder literati like to find famous songs. The prostitute talks about poetry, and it turns out to be so wonderful.
Look absolutely stunning. Lustful beauties can be pleasing to the eye, and listening to the poems of beauties can arouse the competitiveness in the chest.
The carriage traveled all the way, resting in Huzhou Mansion in the evening.
Yang Xiaoyu did not shy away from Mrs. Fang, and took Liu Zihua into a room.
Two days.
When it was almost noon, the carriage stopped at Fangjiazhuang in Deqing County.
Yang Xiaoyu helped Mrs. Fang get out of the car, and ordered a group of riders to carry gifts to Fangjiazhuang.
Fang Congzhe's two sons are officials outside, and there are only a few concubines around him, and the rest are all maidservants and guards.
Hearing that his daughter came back to save his relatives, Fang Congzhe was very happy and walked out of the backyard in good spirits.
Seeing a large number of brocade guards approaching the hall with gifts, a puzzle flashed in Fang Congzhe's eyes.
When Mrs. Fang saw her father, she hurriedly went up to salute and say hello.
Fang Congzhe only has two daughters, both of whom married more than ten years ago, and the father and daughter hardly see each other.
At this time, when he saw his daughter with his own eyes, he couldn't help but cry, and hurriedly helped his daughter up, with a gentle face.
Yang Xiaoyu, who was standing behind Mrs. Fang, carefully looked at Fang Congzhe, who was in his sixties, more than seven feet tall, in good spirits, and had a ruddy face.
Fang Congzhe's appearance is very ordinary, with slightly dark skin, a small head, and slightly squinted eyes, giving people a feeling of being extremely ordinary, without the momentum of the former Shousuke.
Yang Xiaoyu was about to take a closer look when he heard Mrs. Fang calling him.
"Dad, this is Xiaoyu, you hugged him when you were a child!"
Mrs. Fang smiled happily and said, "Yu'er, hurry up and salute your grandfather." ”
"I've seen my grandfather!" Yang Xiaoyu didn't kneel, he only bent down and bowed.
Fang Congzhe looked at Yang Xiaoyu, with a warm smile on his face, and said: "I thought that the imperial court sent someone to bring the old man into Beijing, but I didn't expect Yang Jialin'er to come!" ”
"If Lord Hui Fang's words, the lower officials were sent by the emperor to come and deliver the decree!"
In this era, nothing is as powerful as the monarch, and Yang Xiaoyu took out the secret edict from his sleeve in line with the will of public before private.
Fang Congzhe heard that the emperor had a holy decree, so he hurriedly bowed down and knelt down to listen to the decree, and Mrs. Fang next to him accompanied his father to listen to the decree.
Yang Xiaoyu smiled, hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Fang Congzhe and Mrs. Fang, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, what the emperor has sent to you is a secret edict!" After speaking, he handed over the edict directly.
Fang Congzhe was surprised, and then took the edict with a solemn face.
Mrs. Fang next to her couldn't help whispering: "Dad, the emperor has sent you to the court!" ”
Fang Congzhe's eyes were stunned, his hand holding the secret edict couldn't help clenching, and he hurriedly asked Yang Xiaoyu: "Have you read the secret edict?" ”
Yang Xiaoyu said in her heart that her adoptive mother really forgot her son when she saw her father, and the secret edict was not read by anyone except the emperor. She was okay and said it directly.
"Grandpa, this secret edict was dictated by the emperor, and the grandson wrote it on his behalf!" Yang Xiaoyu replied truthfully.
Fang Congzhe's expression was relieved, he smiled bitterly with the secret edict, and asked the housekeeper to lead Mrs. Fang and Yang Xiaoyu into the hall to talk.
Yang Xiaoyu knew that Fang Congzhe went to the backyard to dismantle the secret edict. Then he accompanied Mrs. Fang to talk in the living room.
It didn't take a while.
Fang Congzhe entered the hall, his face was solemn, he sat on the main seat and thought for a moment, and asked Yang Xiaoyu: "Is the situation between the DPRK and China really so difficult?" ”
Yang Xiaoyu said with a wry smile: "Donglin officials reject dissidents, and all officials in Zhejiang, Qi, Chu and other places are suppressed by them. Raid the house and exterminate the family. ”
Fang Congzhe was silent for a moment and said, "The old man has been suffering from a slight illness recently, and I am afraid that he will not be able to enter the court to serve the emperor!" ”
Yang Xiaoyu knew that Fang Congzhe was shirking, so he glanced at Mrs. Fang.
Mrs. Fang received the signal, saluted Fang Congzhewei, and turned to go out.
Waiting for Mrs. Fang to walk out of the hall, Yang Xiaoyu whispered, "Grandpa, you may not know. Donglin officials are running around for the case of the first emperor and the transfer of the palace, according to the grandson's estimates. They probably wanted to use these two things against their grandfather. ”
Fang Congzhe's head wrinkled, the first emperor died after eating the elixir offered by Li Kezhuo, although this matter had nothing to do with him, but he was the first assistant of the imperial court at that time, and the first emperor died, and he could not escape the blame.
The case of moving the palace was a trivial matter. According to the imperial court system, after the emperor ascended the throne, he should be named Li Xuanzhi as the queen mother, which is an unchanging rule for the ages.
He supported Li Xuanzhi to be named the queen mother, and he did things completely according to the ancestral system. There is no fault.
"Grandpa, the emperor secretly ordered you to enter Beijing, although there is a purpose to use you to suppress Donglin officials, but it is not a good opportunity for grandpa to enter the cabinet three times!"
Yang Xiaoyu analyzed: "If my grandfather shirks and does not obey the edict, the court will slowly become the Donglin court, and then they will not be able to let my grandfather continue to be in the opposition with peace of mind." ”
Fang Congzhe was a little embarrassed, he reached a consensus with Ye Xianggao and others, he resigned as the first assistant, and Donglin officials were not allowed to use this matter to suppress Zhejiang, Qi, and Chu officials, however, he had been in the opposition for less than two years, and he returned to the cabinet again, isn't this untrustworthy?
"Grandpa, Donglin officials are now uneven, many traitors and villains are mixed with them, shouting all day long that the officials of Zhejiang, Qi and Chu are traitors, and they want to eradicate the traitorous party and strike the mining tax, they use this guise to grab gold and silver, so that the people of Beijing are panicked, if grandpa does not go out of the mountain, the world will be occupied by Donglin officials, and then I and other Zhejiang officials will be unable to escape death."
Fang Congzhe turned his back, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Did the emperor mention what position the old man will serve after entering the court?" ”
Yang Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, he knew that Fang Congzhe would not be willing to fail, so he replied: "Grandpa was the first assistant before he lived in seclusion, and he is still the first assistant after returning to the dynasty. ”
"The old man will think about it for the time being, and I'll reply to you in three days!"
Fang Congzhe said in a deep voice, and then chuckled: "Don't talk about the court, tell me how you got into Jinyiwei?" ”
Yang Xiaoyu smiled, Fang Congzhe is pinching the shelf, what three days later, I'm afraid he is using these three days to pack his bags, however, some words are inconvenient to say, he replied with a smile: "My grandson is lucky, he saved Princess Shouning's concubine, and found out a county prince who hid a dragon robe, which was appreciated by the emperor and mixed up an errand in the capital Jinyiwei." ”
"You're in luck!" Of course, Fang Congzhe heard the omission in Yang Xiaoyu's words, and he didn't continue to ask, and praised it with a smile.
Yang Xiaoyu didn't say anything, smiled and told Fang Congzhe some recent anecdotes, and then took his leave on official grounds, took his subordinates out of Fangjiazhuang, and lived in an inn in Deqing County.
Mrs. Fang and a handmaid stayed in Fangjiazhuang, and when leaving, Mrs. Fang told Yang Xiaoyu to come back for dinner.
Yang Xiaoyu was not in the mood to join the excitement of the Fang family, although he called Fang Congzhe his grandfather, there was no blood relationship between them, to a large extent, he was talking to Fang Congzhe as a junior.
After coming to Deqing County to live, Yang Xiaoyu asked Zhou Heguang to entertain the county officials on the grounds that he was not feeling well.
