Chapter 716: Worship the Elders
The military base of the Liang army has always been heavily guarded, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the local government, even if it is Lu Yifa, the prefect of Pingliang, if there is no warrant from Xu Liang, he will not want to step into the military base of the Liang army for half a step. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Xu Jiang has been in Guyuan City for so long, and he obviously knows the rules of the military base. At this time, he was wearing civilian clothes, with a red face and a thick neck, and he was reasoning with the Liang army guards at the gate.
"Let him in." Xu Liang frowned and shouted in a deep voice.
The guards at the gate of the military base heard the voice, and when they saw that Lord Xu had arrived in person, they let go of their hands and reported to Xu Liang: "My lord, this person is clamoring to see you." ”
Xu Liang waved his hand, and the guard retreated.
When Xu Jiang saw Xu Liang, his original eager expression was a little sneering, and he slowly stepped forward and smiled at Xu Liang twice, "Third brother, you and my brother haven't seen each other for a long time, and I miss my brother very much, I heard that the third brother arrived in Pingliang, so I put down the affairs in my hand and hurried over." ”
Xu Jiang said, his face really showing the enthusiasm that his brother wanted to see.
Xu Liang looked Xu Jiang up and down with a judgmental eye, but his expression was indifferent, "You don't want to be your governor in Guyuan Prefecture, what are you doing here?" Saying that, Xu Liang turned his head and asked Wang Qinian on the side: "Qi Nian, what crime will be punished if you leave your post without the consent of Shangfeng?" ”
Wang Qinian raised his eyelids and said coldly: "According to the law, the rod will be punished for twenty." ”
Xu Liang nodded and shouted: "Come on, Xu Jiang, the governor of Guyuan, left his post without permission, and dragged down the official and punished him for twenty years!" ”
"Yes!" Behind Xu Liang, the two Tsing Yi guards responded loudly, and then strode forward, and without saying a word, they stopped Xu Jiang and dragged him out.
Xu Jiang was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat, and shouted: "Third brother, third brother, show mercy!" ”
Xu Liang was indifferent, Xu Jiang was even more flustered when he saw this, seeing the two smiling Tsing Yi guards escorting him farther and farther, he couldn't help but struggle, and shouted angrily and anxiously: "Third brother! It was my father who heard that Suqin was back, and specially asked me to pick up Suqin and go back to take a look! ”
"Stop!" Xu Liang shouted fiercely. The two Tsing Yi guards ordered the ban and immediately stopped.
Xu Liang walked up step by step, stared at Xu Jiang, and asked in a deep voice, "What did you just say?" Xu Changkun wants to see Suqin? ”
Xu Jiang struggled to break free from the Tsing Yi guard who was holding him, wiped his cold sweat, and said to Xu Liang angrily: "Exactly! Su Qin is also the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, she used to be in Beijing, so it doesn't matter if she can't see each other. Now that she has returned to Chang'an, her father and mother want to see her. ”
"What does Su Qin have to do with the old Xu family!" Xu Liang snorted coldly, very disapproving.
When Xu Jiang heard this, he suddenly had a distressed expression, "Third brother, you can't say that!" Although I know that you and your father used to have a very unpleasant quarrel, Su Qin, as the third daughter-in-law of the Xu family, is there! As a junior, I went to worship the elders before I came back. ”
Xu Liang sneered: "What kind of elders are Xu Changkun and Yang Lianhua!" ”
"Ahem!" Xu Jiang was embarrassed, he also knew that the relationship between Xu Liang and Xu Changkun and Yang Lianhua was very stiff, but Xu Liang was so disrespectful to the two elders, Xu Jiang was also slightly uncomfortable.
He was embarrassed for a while, his expression changed, seeing Xu Liang's still cold and indifferent expression, he thought about giving up, he was very unwilling, so he took two steps forward again, stood in front of Xu Liang, and persuaded him with a heartfelt look: "Third brother, three outlines and five constants, it is the duty of people to respect the old and love the young." The third brother is open-minded and does not stick to form, which I can understand. It's just that Suqin is a young lady from an official family, and she wants to pay the most attention to these etiquettes. If the third brother insisted on preventing Su Qin from going to visit the two elders and reaching Su Qin's ears, I don't know how she would feel? What's more, I heard that the queen of the former dynasty, Yi'an Niangniang, also came to Chang'an City this time, and I heard that she has a good relationship with Suqin's younger siblings. If the mother hears about these things......"
Xu Jiang said hesitantly, although he did not continue, but the meaning of his words made Xu Liang vigilant.
Staring at the eldest brother deeply, Xu Liang said, "You threaten me? ”
"Where's the word!" With a surprised expression, Xu Jiang distanced himself from Xu Liang, rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "The third brother is now in a high position and has a heavy army, and the eldest brother still has to rely on the third brother, how dare I threaten the third brother." As a brother, he just told the third brother the truth. As for how to do it, of course, everything still has to be up to the third brother. ”
Although Xu Jiang's words were a little ugly, which made Xu Liang very annoyed, but after thinking about it carefully, Xu Jiang really said something to the point. It is undeniable that Xu Liang's feelings for Xu Changkun and Yang Lianhua, and even the Xu family in the entire Ji'an Mansion, have faded to the lowest point. However, Xu Jiang is not wrong about one thing, Xu Liang can ignore the relationship with Xu Changkun and the Xu family, but Feng Suqin is a traditional woman, what she will think and do, Xu Liang can guess a little. Of course, if Xu Liang decided not to let Feng Suqin contact with the people of the old Xu family, Feng Suqin would definitely do so, but whether there would be a gap in her heart, there must be some of them.
As for the former queen of the dynasty who came with Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Yan, Yi'an Niangniang, what kind of senses she had, Xu Liang didn't have to care too much.
Xu Liang pondered, and Xu Jiang stared at Xu Liang nervously, not letting go of any of Xu Liang's expressions.
After a while, Xu Liang raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Jiang, smiled slightly, and said, "Your news is quite well-informed, and you got the news so quickly." What you just said, I will tell Suqin, as for whether she goes or not, it depends on her meaning. ”
"Hehe, if the third brother can tell him on his behalf, then the eldest brother will be relieved." Xu Jiang's whole body suddenly relaxed a lot, with Xu Jiang's understanding of Feng Suqin, Feng Suqin would definitely visit Xu Changkun as a junior after getting the news.
"Is there anything else?" Xu Liang asked coldly.
Xu Jiang was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "That's it." ”
"Then you can go back." After Xu Liang finished speaking, Shi Shiran turned around and walked towards the interior of the base. Tietou, Wang Qinian and others hurriedly followed.
Outside the camp gate, Xu Jiang stood in place, he didn't expect Xu Liang to send off the guests so soon. I didn't even ask my eldest brother to go in and drink a glass of cold water and rest his feet! Seeing Xu Liang Shi Ran walking away, a look of resentment suddenly flashed on his face, and he flicked his sleeves angrily and strode away.
A few days later, Feng Suqin, Lou Xian'er and others arrived at Pingliang Mansion, and Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan had nothing to do when she stayed in Chang'an, so she followed Feng Suqin and Lou Xian'er together. Since that day, the three women have been called sisters to each other, and the relationship has become a lot closer, even between Lou Xian'er and Zhang Yan.
Yes, after hearing that Feng Suqin was going to Pingliang Mansion to check the accounts, Zhang Yan and Lou Xian'er clamored to come over, and at this time Xu Liang was already in Pingliang Mansion, Feng Suqin was soft-hearted, and couldn't help Lou Xian'er's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so she had to agree. So the three women rushed to Pingliang Mansion with great fanfare.
After Xu Liang returned to the Xu Mansion in Pingliang Mansion from the Juntun base, he learned that Feng Suqin and Lou Xian'er, and Zhang Yan actually arrived in Pingliang, and couldn't help but be surprised and happy.
The dinner party was naturally Xu Liang with the three daughters.
Feng Suqin talked about the intention of Pingliang Mansion, Xu Liang did not object after hearing it, he took a small sip of wine, Xu Liang chuckled: "Suqin wants to rectify Liang Ji, that is the best thing." In fact, I have heard some problems with Liang Ji soap paste and well salt, but I have not been able to free up my hands to rectify them. Now that Suqin is back, she is just in time to manage this piece. I have one requirement: to be well-founded and convincing. If the evidence is accurate, no matter who is involved, Suqin can take it directly! ”
Feng Suqin listened, as if she had been greatly affirmed and encouraged, she couldn't help but straighten her chest, **** trembled slightly, Xu Liang's eyes lit up, and she said secretly: I haven't seen you for two years, Suqin's capital is getting more and more sufficient.
Feng Suqin originally wanted to express his stance to Xu Liang, but suddenly saw Xu Liang's obsessive look, and fell down with his eyes, he couldn't help but blush, and shouted in shame: "Xianggong, let's get down to business!" ”
"Ahem!" Xu Liang coughed a few times in embarrassment, and when he saw Lou Xian'er and Zhang Yan staring at him without blinking, he couldn't help but straighten his expression, "Yes, yes, let's get down to business." Uh, what do you want to say? ”
Feng Suqin glanced at Xu Liang and said, "Liang Ji's other businesses are easy to say." It's just that the soap paste and well salt business is done in partnership with the Liang family in Jingzhou. If someone from the Liang family in Jingzhou is implicated by the time, what should be done? ”
When Xu Liang heard this, he waved his hand very domineeringly, and shouted categorically: "As long as it is on one acre and three points of land in Xianggong, no matter who it is, there will be no exceptions." As long as you can grasp the evidence, you don't have to give Liang Yin face. ”
Feng Suqin chuckled, "Xianggong said so, then I will be much more relieved." ”
After the matter of Liang Ji's audit was finalized, Xu Liang remembered Xu Jiang's intention, so he said to Feng Suqin: "By the way, two days ago, Xu Jiang came. ”
"Oh?" Feng Suqin blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "What is he here for?" ”
Zhang Yan didn't know Xu Jiang's origin, so she asked Lou Xian'er in a low voice: "Xian'er, who is Xu Jiang?" ”
A look of disdain appeared on Lou Xian'er's face, and she turned her head to explain to Zhang Yan in a whisper: "This person is Xianggong's hometown brother, and he doesn't know what **** luck he has taken. ”
Zhang Yan rolled her eyes, "Lord Xu's hometown brother?" ”
Lou Xian'er nodded and took a sip. When Zhang Yan saw this, she understood that it seemed that the relationship between Xu Liang and this Xu Jiang should not be very good. Zhang Yan looked at Xu Liang and Feng Suqin and listened carefully to the conversation between the two.
At this time, Xu Liang had already explained Xu Jiang's intention to Feng Suqin clearly.
"Although Xu Jiang said that he asked Suqin to go to Guyuan, it was Xu Changkun and Yang Lianhua who wanted to see you, but no one knows whether this is Xu Changkun and Yang Lianhua's original intention." Xu Liang said slowly, "I have already told you his intentions, as for whether to go or not, it depends on what you mean Su Qin." ”
Feng Suqin groaned and looked at Xu Liang, "That...... Will you go with me, Princess? ”
Xu Liang sneered again and again: "I don't talk to that old couple for more than half a sentence, and I don't have a good face when I go, which is nothing to worry about!" If you want to go, you don't have to take me with you. ”
Feng Suqin listened, looked at Xu Liang, and seemed to be considering Xu Liang's tone.
"As the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, it seems a little unreasonable to come back and not see each other?" Feng Suqin tilted her head and looked at Xu Liang.
Xu Liang snorted twice, picked up two peanuts with chopsticks, and threw them into his mouth accurately.
Feng Suqin pondered for a while, looked at Zhang Yan, and said, "Then I'll take the time to go to Guyuan Prefecture, it just so happens that Sister Zhang Yan is also going to meet Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides." ”
Xu Liang was taken aback, looked at Zhang Yan in surprise, and asked, "Niangniang is going to see Hong Chengchou?" ”
The existence of Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, has almost become a taboo that no one is willing to mention in Shaanxi officialdom. Although the court did not know for what reason, it has not removed Hong Chengchou from his position as the governor of the three sides, but the officialdom of Shaanxi, including Ningxia, Yansui, and the northwest border passes, almost all the military generals of the civil and military affairs understand the fact that the governor of the three sides, Hong Chengchou, has been placed under house arrest by the powerful governor of Shaanxi, Xu Liang. Although he did not kill him, Hong Chengchou has become an empty governor with office but no power.
Well, now, Governor Hong is moving towards the aspect of a calligrapher.
Now, Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan is going to see this person? This inevitably reminds Xu Liang of a lot: Zhang Yanyuan is in Beijing, and Hong Chengchou is an authentic northwest official, and the two should have had no friendship before. So, in what capacity did Zhang Yan go to see Hong Chengchou?
Besides, after the two meet, what do they talk about, what do they talk about? Is there a shadow of the emperor and the cabinet behind it? Is there any conspiracy or anything in it? These are all issues that Xu Liang is particularly concerned about.
Xu Liang thought for a long time before he asked carefully, "Niangniang, why did you suddenly think of going to see Governor Hong?" ”
When Zhang Yan heard this, her expression was hurried, and she glanced at Xu Liang before she said, "I have a few words to ask him." ”
Xu Liang asked again: "Niangniang is very familiar with Governor Hong?" ”
"We've never met."
"Then why ......?" Xu Liang was even more surprised, and before he knew it, the next question was raised.
Zhang Yan's face gradually changed, a little pale, and a hint of sadness, she looked at Xu Liang, pursed her lips, and stopped talking.
"Xianggong!" Seeing this, Feng Suqin suddenly shouted at Xu Liang.
Xu Liang suddenly came to his senses, his tone towards Zhang Yan was too unfriendly, a bit like a question. Seeing Zhang Yan hanging her head and looking nervous, Xu Liang bowed his hand apologetically: "Niangniang forgives my sins, I was abrupt." ”
Zhang Yan slowly raised her head, her eyes were red, she looked at Xu Liang and the others, and said, "This palace is a little unwell, go back to rest first." With that, Zhang Yan got up and left in a hurry.
"!" Feng Suqin stood up after him, glared at Xu Liang angrily, and chased after Zhang Yan.
Xu Liang looked at Lou Xian'er who was still staying with very innocent eyes: "What did I say?" It's just a casual question......" (To be continued.) )
