Chapter Seventy-Six: Political Marriages
The carriage galloped down the street, its wheels spinning rapidly, and a line of guards followed closely around it.
After a while, the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the Yang Mansion.
Yang Xiaoyu calmly stepped out of the carriage, ordered a group of guards to wait outside, and only took Wang Chong to walk into the mansion.
Yang Fuzhong is still the same as before, the maids are like flowers, the soldiers are like forests, pavilions, carved beams and paintings, a long corridor is covered with flowers on both sides, and the air is filled with the smell of flowers.
Walking through the corridor and entering the backyard, Yang Xiaoyu nodded frequently to the people of the Yang Mansion who greeted him, and said hello.
Coming to the small courtyard where Yang Yong handles official business on a daily basis, Yang Xiaoyu instructed Wang Chong to wait outside and walk in alone.
In the study!
Yang Yong, dressed in a black crewneck shirt, sat at the desk, with a heavy look on his face.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Yang Xiaoyu walked in with great spirits, and saluted: "The child has seen his father!" β
Yang Yong raised his head and sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice: "There is a fire in the north of the city, and it is difficult for my father, Lord Liang, and Lord Wang, as the chief officials of the three divisions, to escape responsibility. β
Yang Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, it was difficult to think that Yang Yong could not escape responsibility, what did it have to do with him marrying Miss Shen?
Yang Yong said: "Miss Shen's grandfather is a generation of famous ministers Shen Conglin, his father is Shen Conglin, the prefect of Yangzhou, while his father has not been punished by the imperial court, you first marry Miss Shen into the door, in this way, the imperial court is removed from the official position of father, you can still replace your father as the commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division, and the Yang family is still a century-old family." β
Yang Xiaoyu immediately understood that Yang Yong was taking precautions, knowing that his reputation was not enough to succeed him as the commander of the capital, so he wanted to quickly form a family with the Shen family and gain a foothold in Jiangnan with the help of the Shen family's strength.
Shen has always been the famous minister of the Wanli Dynasty, he has been in charge of the cabinet for decades in his life, and his protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world, even if Shen has always passed away five years ago, the influence of the Shen family in the Ming Dynasty is also very large, relying on the big tree of the Shen family, in order to ensure that he stands tall on the throne of the commander.
Yang Xiaoyu does not reject political marriage, because the reason why the century-old family can survive depends on the way of marriage.
But he was unwilling in his heart, a woman he had never met was going to become his wife, and he knew almost nothing about this woman, he didn't know what the name of Miss Shen was called, and he didn't know the age of this Miss Shen family.
Yang Xiaoyu glanced at Yang Yong's face a few times, the palace was bright, everything was fine, and there would be no unlucky things; The Guanlu Palace is well developed, and the Yin Hall has bones faintly penetrating the sky, which is bright and bright.
The complexion of the Guanlu Palace is initiated by Yintang, reflecting the current luck and whether the wish has been achieved. Bright and bright and now red and yellow, there will be a happy event for promotion. The red lord speaks right and wrong. The white lord has filial piety. There are many miscellaneous lines on the forehead and they are blue, and the Lord has doubts or the woman has the sorrow of losing her husband.
And Yang Yongyintang is so clear and clean, there will never be any disaster!
Yang Xiaoyu calmed down and said: "Father, the fire in Hangzhou was caused by arson by ruffians, and since this matter was reported to the imperial court by the governor, presumably the imperial court will not punish my father and other officials for this matter, and my father can rest assured." β
Yang Yong shook his head and said: "You don't understand, Donglin officials supported the first emperor to ascend the throne and made great contributions, and then the first emperor unfortunately died, and supported the current emperor to ascend the dragon seat, which can be described as a cover, and my Zhejiang officials since Shen Xiang and Fang Xiang left the cabinet, were suppressed and excluded by Donglin officials, regarded as a chaotic party, it happened that Hangzhou had this big case, Donglin officials will take advantage of this matter to make trouble to local officials in Zhejiang, and for his father as the commander of the capital division, it is difficult to escape his responsibility, once the court thoroughly investigates the case, it is difficult to preserve the official position of the father, fortunately, the ancestors have made great contributions to the court, Let my Yang family be able to inherit the command of the capital from generation to generation. After you go to the official for your father, you can take over as the commander of the capital. β
If you don't think about winning, you should lose first!
It is not surprising that Yang Yong has a follow-up hand!
If Yang Yong's face is in trouble, Yang Xiaoyu will definitely think of a crack, and he will marry Miss Shen according to Yang Yong's wishes, but Yang Yong's face is safe and sound, he will never marry Miss Shen who is ugly and beautiful.
Unless he can let him see Miss Shen first, otherwise, even if Yang Yong talks about it, it will be impossible for him to welcome Miss Shen into the door in a daze.
"Father doesn't need to be so pessimistic, according to the child's opinion, although the Donglin officials are extremely powerful in the court, they may not be able to suppress the officials in Zhejiang, Shaanxi, and Jiangsu, besides, the governor is the highest official in Zhejiang, he will play this case in the court, and the cabinet will not be more serious about this matter, at most he will send an envoy to supervise it, and the matter will be hastily resolved."
"People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries!"
Yang Yong said in a deep voice: "This matter is so decided, my father has sent someone to Yangzhou to give a gift, and when the Shen family receives the dowry, my father will choose a good day in the near future to get married for you, you go back to prepare first, and move back to the house in the near future." β
Seeing Yang Yong's expression that did not change his original intention, Yang Xiaoyu knew that this matter was over, and no matter what he said, Yang Yong would never change.
"Father, what's going on with Lord Wang?" When Yang Xiaoyu was about to turn around and go back, he suddenly thought of Wang Zhengxiang's matter and asked casually.
"Which Lord Wang?" Yang Yong said suspiciously.
"Supervising the Imperial Envoy Wang Zhengxiang!" Yang Xiaoyu had to reply.
A smile appeared on Yang Yong's face, and he said: "Dozens of officials above the fourth grade in Zhejiang jointly wrote a letter to impeach Wang Zhengxiang, and the excerpt has been sent to the capital, I believe that within a few days, the imperial court will have a decree issued. β
Yang Xiaoyu nodded slightly, the imperial court is tough on corrupt and bribery officials, like Wang Zhengxiang and other officials who have been jointly reported by foreign officials, in order to appease the dissatisfaction of foreign officials, the imperial court will definitely punish them severely to show the majesty of the imperial court.
"The boy went back first!" Yang Xiaoyu bowed and was about to turn around, but Yang Yong suddenly said at this time: "You gave He Tao the credit for capturing Liu Boguang, but you have other ideas?" β
Yang Xiaoyu was not surprised, the fact that Jin Yiwei caught the bandit Liu Boguang had already been publicized by everyone, and Yang Yong asked him at this time, probably to prove his judgment.
"Father, the child wants to be an official in the brocade guard!" Yang Xiaoyu replied.
Yang Yong smiled slightly when he heard this, he guessed that this was the case, although Jinyiwei's reputation was not good, but it was the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and he shouldered the heavy responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, which could be said to be in power. Except for those who sell their fame and reputation, ordinary people don't want to be born in Jinyiwei.
But Yang Xiaoyu was born in a family, how could he join Jinyiwei like those vulgar men, besides, although Jinyiwei was in power for a while, the court officials have always had no good impression of Jinyiwei's people, if Yang Xiaoyu went to Jinyiwei to take office, wouldn't he put himself on the opposite side of the court's hundred officials?
Yang Yong opened his mouth to speak, but he forcibly pressed it in an instant, at the moment Yang Xiaoyu's matter of going to Jinyiwei is just a shadow, and there is no clue yet, if the imperial court thoroughly investigates the Hangzhou fire, then it will be difficult for him to keep his official position, and then Yang Xiaoyu will inherit the official position of his ancestors, and the matter of going to Jinyiwei will also be nothing.
After thinking for a while, Yang Yong said in a low voice: "Put this matter aside for the time being, you go back and prepare first, and move back to the mansion as soon as possible." β
Yang Xiaoyu nodded and turned to leave.
