Chapter 437: Bai Suxin's visit
Jiaozhongfang, Fuxue Hutong, Yangfu.
As the temperature rises day by day, Yang Pu's body is gradually getting better, and it is not a big problem to go out for two or three hours a day.
Still taking the medicine that Meng Yan gave him, Yang Dan waited carefully every day, never stopping.
"Dad, if you don't drink this medicine, it will be cold." The old man is a good reader, and when this book is in his hand, he refuses to put it down, no, he even forgot to drink the medicine.
"Got it, let's drink." Yang Pu was a little dissatisfied with his long-winded son, but he also knew that his son was doing it for his good.
Good medicine is good for disease, and he still knows this truth.
"By the way, Dan'er, since you came back yesterday, my father saw a trace of sadness between your eyebrows, can't you tell your father something?"
"Dad, what's going on, yesterday Master Meng invited someone we knew to have a drink, and he wanted to ask the child to do him a favor?"
"Please help, he has a brocade guard and a thousand households, and there is a backer as big as Guo Laohu behind him, what do you need to help Shaoqing of Dali Temple who is idle to take care of his father at home?" Yang Pu smiled.
"Dad, this busy kid can't refuse, so he will accept it."
"What's the busy, you can't push it?" Yang Pu was a little surprised, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty knew that if the emperor hadn't insisted on keeping him in the court, he would have resigned and returned to his hometown a long time ago.
The climate in the capital is really not suitable for the elderly, if he wants to live a few more years, he will really go back to his hometown.
"Master Meng wants to beg your father to write him a few words?"
"He begged me to write, why is it so difficult?" Yang Pu was surprised. "Is it because you are afraid that your father will refuse, so you will test it first?"
"That's exactly what it means."
"Dad's life is saved by others, and a few words are not worth anything, it's just a gesture, you tell him, except for taboos, you can't write, Dad promised him." Yang Pu said.
This man must know how to repay his kindness, otherwise he can still stand between heaven and earth?
"Dad, Lord Meng is actually asking for a signboard, which is to be hung outside. And you also have a signature. With the seal, so ......"
"Signboard?" Yang Pu was stunned, he has been an official for many years, and he can't say that there are many shops that ask him to inscribe. He never said yes once. Writing about this kind of thing is one and two. In the end, you can't offend anyone, and you won't agree to anyone's request.
Especially after joining the cabinet. I never inscribed for anyone again.
Of course, there are still mutual gifts and encouragements between teachers and students, but these are all hidden in personal homes, at most they are framed, hung in their own houses, and enjoyed by themselves.
"Yes, didn't Lord Meng accept a concubine, and he was going to open a restaurant, lacking a well-known signboard."
"Do you have a name?"
"I heard that there is." Yang Dan said.
"I'll answer this, go back and ask clearly, the words on this signboard are to meet people, and my father should prepare well." Yang Pu said.
"Thank you so much, Dad!" When Yang Dan heard this, he was overjoyed, he was afraid that this old man would be stubborn and not agree, then he would not be able to speak in front of Meng Yan.
"By the way, Dan'er, have you heard that this capital patrol has changed the yamen to the Jinyi Guard Patrol Division?"
"The boy heard about it!"
"What do you think about this?" Yang Pu asked, he knew that his son still had a heart, but he was still a little worried about whether his kind and upright son could survive in the cunning and cruel officialdom.
"The saint has gained great fame from Bai Suxin's unjust case, it is precisely because of his strength to overcome public opinion, insist on retrying the case, and make the wronged person Zhaoxue, so the removal of the inspection will never be done by the Yamen Shengshang, but if it is retained, it will inevitably be opposed by the courtiers, after all, the inspection makes the Yamen unclear, if you only obey the orders of the Shengshang, then the power will be great, and it must be restricted, so the Shengshang will include it in the control of Jinyiwei, so that the dissatisfaction of the courtiers can be calmed!" Yang Dan thought for a while.
"Well, yes, Dan'er, you can see this, which means that you put your heart into it, and you have seen something." Yang Pu said, "Since ancient times, the imperial power and the relative power are opposites and balances, once the balance is lost, the political situation of the country will go to two extremes, first, that is, the emperor is mediocre, the ministers are corrupt, the country is in civil strife, the second is that the emperor is wise and wise, the ministers are honest, the country is strong, under normal circumstances, the founding monarchs are relatively strong and wise, and the chaos is initially decided, the country is recuperating, the political situation will develop steadily, once the national strength is restored, the male lord is old, if the successor is mediocre, then there must be a minister, the minister is not good, If you don't get it right, you will be crushed and stinking for 10,000 years, if you are trusted by the emperor and complement each other, you can create a career, but if the lord is weak and the minister is strong, it is the source of chaos! ”
"What does Dad mean, our Ming Dynasty can't tolerate a powerful minister?"
"Dad doesn't mean this, Dad just sues you, it's not an easy thing to be a powerful minister, if it's not for great ambition and great wisdom, don't go down this road!" Yang Pu said.
"The child understands that the child is a leader, and he just wants to be a capable official, do something for the court and the people."
"You'd be right to think so, but it's not the right time for you to come out now." Yang Pu said.
"When was that?" Yang Dan asked.
"Go back and think about it, figure it out, and sue me." Yang Pu didn't answer directly, but let his son think for himself.
What I think of and realize is completely different from what others sue us.
Not to mention that Yang Dan frowned and locked himself in the study to realize it, but Meng Yan came here with a familiar guest.
The holy decree of the Beijing Inspector to change the Yamen to the Jinyi Guard Inspectorate has been handed down to Meng Yan, and it will only be a matter of a day or two to change the door plaque.
The acting director of the Patrol Division, Meng Yan, and Lord Meng can be regarded as taking office.
He is very busy, very busy, and needs to sign a lot of documents, as well as listen to the reports below, and arrange work.
All departments are recruiting, according to the establishment given above, the inspection department is also a not small department of authority within the Jinyi Guard, and the power is not small, and the departments that were originally in charge of the discipline of the Jinyi Guard will also be merged.
So. Nanya has lost weight, Nanya originally had three major responsibilities, the first is to manage the military discipline of the guard, all Jinyiwei violates military discipline or national law, there is Nanya to deal with the judgment, almost belongs to the exclusive military court of Jinyiwei, the Public Opinion Division, needless to say, the intelligence department, is the core department of Nanya. The largest number of people. The most mysterious department, the specific affairs are only responsible for the acting Nanya's Jinyi Guard's commander or servant, and the commander and the secretary are responsible for the emperor.
The third is the Craftsman Division, the management of the craftsmen and the R&D and manufacturing of weapons. The main thing is the research and development and manufacture of high-precision weapons. It belongs to the core state secrets department.
The function of investigating and dealing with military discipline is now being stripped to the Inspectorate Division. Nanya, on the other hand, still retains the final verdict.
In the current understanding, the inspection department is the military police department, and some minor disciplinary problems are directly dealt with. Nanya, on the other hand, is a military court, and if a crime is truly committed, it needs to be transferred to the past for public trial and sentencing.
Guo Nu transferred a deputy Qianhu from Nanya to serve as his deputy, specializing in managing the discipline of the Jinyi Guard.
In terms of Beiya, there is basically no change, and the Investigation Department and the Criminal Division, plus the three major blocks of the Imperial Prison, have been completely controlled by Fu Xiaochen.
As for the other health centers in Beijing, as before, the experience department is also in charge of file storage and document forwarding.
"White girl, why are you here?"
"Tianxing, make tea......" shouted for a long time, but when he didn't see Lin Tianxing, he suddenly remembered that he sent Lin Tianxing to Luomeizhuang in the eastern suburbs to investigate in disguise, and he couldn't come back for a while.
I really should be looking for a long-term follower, there is no one around to call here, it is really inconvenient.
"It's better for the official to come by himself, this person has been sent out for me to do errands." Meng Yan smiled self-deprecatingly and stood up from a pile of paperwork.
"My lord, let Su Xin come." Bai Suxin walked over, picked up the towel on the table, hugged the handle of the copper kettle, and lifted the boiling kettle.
"The white girl is a guest, and it is really against the way of hospitality to let the guest make tea for me, the host!"
"My lord, please use tea!" Bai Suxin's movements and postures of making tea are graceful, as if he is familiar at home.
Meng Yan couldn't help but think of that time, when Bai Suxin was making tea, when he accidentally burned his hand, he happened to bend down to take it, and that touching style is still deeply engraved in his mind.
"Thank you, White Girl." Meng Yan was slightly stunned, and then took the teacup embarrassedly.
"White girl, you came to see this official, is there anything wrong?" Meng Yan couldn't figure out what this Bai Suxin was doing, she actually came to see her alone, which was a little weird.
"Master Meng, the little girl has something to ask for!" Bai Su's heart was full of bows.
"White girl, please get up, if you have anything to say, the official can help, and it is impossible to deny it." Meng Yan said seriously.
"My lord, Su Xin suspects that my father was murdered!" Bai Su said in his heart.
"White girl, this can't be nonsense, murder is completely different from natural death." Meng Yan was slightly startled.
"Master Meng, Su Xin doesn't seem to be pursuing anyone, Su Xin is like knowing the truth, whether my father was murdered or died of a serious illness." Bai Su said in his heart.
"What the white girl means, the official doesn't quite understand?"
"I want to ask Lord Meng to open the coffin for an autopsy and help me confirm the real cause of my father's death, as for the result, only Lord Meng and I can know, and don't mention it to anyone?" Bai Su said in his heart.
"White girl, Ling Zun has already been buried in the earth, since you don't want to pursue anyone, why bother with his rest?" Meng Yan asked puzzled.
"Lord Meng, this is related to Su Xin's future, so Su Xin begs Lord Meng to help me." Bai Suxin said solemnly.
"This ......" Meng Yan hesitated, Bai Suxin's request was reasonable, the daughter wanted to know the exact cause of her father's death, but if it was determined that Bai Xinyuan died of murder, the murderer could almost be locked.
It is reasonable that she is unwilling to pursue it, then Bai Jiao's is the mother of her younger brother Bai Shaoqing after all, and under the love house and Wuxia, how could Bai Suxin bear to make her younger brother sad?
But as a woman, if you don't figure out your father's death row inmate, your heart can't get over, and that kind of guilt will accompany you for a lifetime.
"White girl, you first tell the official about your suspicions, as for whether the coffin can be opened or not, how about we discuss it again?" Meng Yan would not rashly agree to open the coffin for an autopsy, and he didn't even understand the consequences.
"Yes, sir." (To be continued......)
