Chapter 770: Visitation
"Speaking of Zhang Xiang, what do you think of Zhang Xiang?"
The reason why I asked this is because Ji Yu already knows the role Zhang Xiang plays in the whole thing, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is scheming.
"Work for the country, but also work for the living."
Guan Shan commented on it in nine words, and Zhang Xiang really deserves this evaluation.
Emperor Wande has been in power for many years, if it weren't for him, the court would not know what the chaos would be.
It was he who transferred Guanshan to Guanbei at the beginning, which relieved the danger of Guanbei, and it was he who protected a group of loyal ministers under the nose of Emperor Wande.
As the first assistant, he has been through the state, honest and honest, and his political achievements and official reputation are not well-known, and there is almost nothing to criticize.
If there is no problem, the problem lies in the second half of the sentence.
He is at a loss to work for his life, but he puts all the "body" and the selfish desires derived from it before the "country", or the family and the country are confused in his concept...... It's something to worry about.
After Guan Shan Zhongyun's evaluation, his expression suddenly turned cold.
"The fire in Dafeng Village and the assassin that night were all written by Zhang Xiang, what do you want?"
Ji Yu actually guessed it.
She and Zhang Xiang have no grievances or hatreds, and they have never met so far, Zhang Xiang's purpose in doing this is that he is afraid that Dabao, who is raised in her hands, will be at her mercy in the future.
Coincidentally, Ji Yu was also worried that someone would take advantage of the young monarch to seize power.
"It's time to retire as an old man."
Of course, she could find someone to kill Zhang Xiang to avenge that night.
But...... First, Zhang Xiang supported Dabao meritorious; Second, the flaws are not hidden, he is indeed a rare good look.
Ji Yu didn't want to be a sinner, but she didn't want to let it go so easily.
"I have a secret about him, maybe it might be useful." Ji Yu leaned close to Guan Shan's ear, "Pan Jiadao and Zhang Xiang ......"
Ji Yu guessed that there was someone on Pan Jiadao, but she didn't expect this person to be Zhang Xiang, and they were still father and son.
It sounds incredible, but it's not complicated to say.
Poor Xiucai once ascended to the Dragon Gate, and then was caught as a son-in-law under the list, and then married the daughter of the master - it is a good story to look left and right, provided that Poor Xiucai did not abandon the bad words.
That's right, poor Xiucai has already married in the countryside. It was his parents who did it, and he didn't like it.
His wife is mediocre and illiterate, but she is diligent and willing to work.
After getting married, his wife was filial to her in-laws to take care of the housework, weaving and selling shoes for him to study, but when he became famous, all he got was a letter of resignation and a few silver tickets.
The wife was also a fierce woman, and returned to her parents' house with her burden on her back that day, and soon remarried a fisherman.
Many years later, Poor Xiu learned that his wife was more than three months pregnant at the time, so he was waiting to surprise him after the list was revealed......
Therefore, Pan Jiadao's ups and downs over the years are not because he has offended people, but because of a father's experience with his son.
However, Pan Jiadao did not appreciate it.
With his qualifications and political achievements, if he had followed the normal promotion process, he would have entered the cabinet a long time ago. However, his heart knot is not in promotion, but in the man who abandoned his wife and children for the sake of climbing the high gate.
He hated Zhang Xiang.
How much his mother suffered and suffered in order to raise him, how much hatred he had in his heart.
It's just that he is a smart man, and he hates it very much, and he will also take advantage of the convenient doors that are opened for him.
For example, after the snowstorm, there was a famine, he went to borrow food for the common people, and there was a shortage of food everywhere at that time, why were others willing to lend it to him? Who is responsible for the big trouble of opening and closing positions privately?
All this is clear to him, but it doesn't affect anything in the slightest.
These small favors can't shake the goal of decades, not to mention that this goal is still the initial motivation for him to step into the official career.
"Zhang Xianghou's wife, including Na's two concubines, gave him a total of six daughters, and only had one son, and he was still a fool......"
Therefore, Zhang Xiang's various behaviors should not only be atonement, but also a realistic measure - except for Pan Jiadao, he can't find a better successor.
"Pan Jiadao's qualifications have long been able to enter the cabinet, and he has always supported Dabao, and this confrontation against Zheng Dang is also led by him...... You tell me? ”
The father and son have been fighting openly and secretly for so long, and it is time to face each other head-on.
At that time, it depends on whether the so-called father-son relationship will prevail, or the control of power will prevail.
Ji Yu intuitively felt that Pan Jiadao would win, and Ji Yu also believed that he would be a first assistant who was not weaker than Zhang Xiang.
But in fact, no matter what kind of it is, she and Dabao only need to sit and reap the profits.
Guan Shan once dealt with Pan Jiadao because of military rations, and later because of Huang Juncai's case, Pan Jiadao also tested him, he was a smart man and a capable minister.
"I'll arrange it."
Ji Yu nodded.
"This time thanks to the ...... of the Xin Zi period"
In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the sixth year of Wande, Xinzi received a distinguished guest from Beijing, and the distinguished guest was none other than Zhang Xiang.
In the early years, Xin Ruqing treated Zhang Xiang's bone injury in the capital, and many years later, Zhang Xiang's old illness recurred and came to Guanbei. His purpose is not only to treat old diseases, but also to take the opportunity of his youngest grandson's birthday to ease the relationship with his son.
But as always, it failed.
Xin Ziqi also learned about this relationship by accident.
Zhang Xiang had no intention of hiding it, and even asked him to "take care" of his son's family for him.
During the Xinzi period, he was able to occupy a prosperous shop on Jinshui Street and open a virtue hall, which was also due to the relationship between Zhang Xiang.
"I'm used to seeing people's warmth and coldness, and when I encounter this kind of person who takes the initiative to come to the door to report my father's kindness, there is no need to be polite."
Although there is another purpose for this retribution, it is only to take what you need.
However, he did not pass on the news of Pan Jiadao to Zhang Xiang after that - he was a doctor, not a spy.
After a few letters, he also talked about his healing of the little prince of Panfu. Of course, it was intentional, Zhang Xiang saw that for the sake of his little grandson, he did accept his feelings.
Xin Ziqi doesn't think that he is Zhang Xiang's person, but he won't reveal secrets at will, but if it's about Ji Yu, it's a different matter.
"I once thought that the noble person he was talking about was Pan Jiadao, but I didn't expect him to get acquainted with Zhang Xiang at that time. Seriously, both father and son can be called his nobles...... Will he tell me, what does it mean? People are close and close, and I am his best friend......"
Guan Shan'er listened to these chatters, and his expression gradually softened.
lowered his eyes and looked at someone whose eyelids were already glued together halfway through the words: "Sleep." ”
Worried that Ji Yu would be cranky again, Guan Shan finally allowed her to meet guests, saying that she could only see one at most a day, but Ji Yu would listen to him.
Early this morning, Guan Shan was going to the camp in Gyeonggi, and Ji Yu blatantly disobeyed the yang and the yin.
The first person to come to visit was Ji Yu's expectation, it was the second elder of the Wei family.
Ji Yu guessed that this should be Guan Shan's special arrangement, or the second elder of the Wei family had been worried about her for a long time and had been paying attention to the news in the palace.
As it turns out, both.
Before Mrs. Wei could speak, she burst into tears.
She couldn't see clearly, so she could only ask Ji Yu over and over again, if the injury was healed, and if it still hurt.
Ji Yu took the trouble and replied over and over again, okay, it doesn't hurt.
Old Madam Wei grabbed her hand tightly, very tightly.
“…… wanted to take you back to the Wei Mansion, but his grandson-in-law refused to ...... Your grandfather and I pray to God and worship Buddha every day, and I hope you will be safe............"
Knowing that Guan Shan had informed the second elder of the relationship between the two, Ji Yu was slightly embarrassed.
"He, he's also afraid that you will be worried."
Mrs. Wei bowed her head and said approvingly: "It's a good offspring, it's worth entrusting, you didn't see the wrong person......"
The whole process was Ji Yu and Mrs. Wei chatting, and Mrs. Wei had been sitting beside her.
Seeing that the topic suddenly turned to this aspect, he stood up with a dry cough and said that he was going out for a walk.
Ji Yu was busy asking people to guide him.
After Master Wei went out, Old Lady Wei sighed.
