Chapter 157: News from Beihu
Yan's sudden visit surprised Qing Dai.
"Second sister-in-law, why are you free today?"
Yan smiled, "I just came from the princess's mansion, and when I passed by Qinglan Courtyard and heard that you were here, I came in and sat down, so I won't be in the way, right?" β
Qing Dai didn't reveal it, and let the maid serve tea with a smile, "Shu Lan is back, just went to the front yard." I'm fine right now. "I can't talk about disgust, it's just that you stepped on the point too timely. If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, I'm afraid that I'm here for Hua Shaozhong's affairs, otherwise how can I give myself such a good face?
Yan took a sip from the teacup, "Xuexiang? β
Qing Dai responded: "It's Xuexiang, Shu Lan went out and brought it back this time, saying that it was the new tea brought by a friend in Shuzhong." β
Yan nodded and praised: "Xuexiang is named after the tea monk stepping on the remnant snow to pick new tea Chapter 157 Beihu's news, and the drink is mellow and elegant, and there is a clear air of Ling Xue." β
"The second sister-in-law is also a person who knows tea."
"Just talking." Yan chuckled, "The ninth brother is really broad-minded, and he can even get such rare things as offering." β
Qing Dai sighed, "He looked cold, but he couldn't sit still, just eat and drink with fox friends." β
Yan shook his head in opposition, with a sincere look on his face, "You can't say that, men, you should go out and break through more." My family likes to talk about poetry and papers with those Hanlin people when they have nothing to do, it is not as good as the ninth brother to come to work, I don't talk less about him, and learn more from the ninth brother. Without the life of the eldest brother, there is a hereditary title to keep food and clothing for a lifetime, and you have to work hard to earn a future, right? β
Qing Dai smiled lightly, "The second sister-in-law is too modest, the eldest brother is generous and gentle, and the second brother is gentle and elegant, unlike Shulan who is a reckless man." "Who doesn't know how to say compliments, if you want to detour, let's just detour.
Yan sneered, "He can't be praised by his younger siblings." Our Hua family is a military general, and our connections are all in the army, and my family has taken the literary road, where can I compare to the third brother. Now in the court, I need the third brother to help me a lot. β
"Dahua emphasizes literature over martial arts, and Shulan is just relying on the military exploits of the northwest, and it is difficult to say how the news of Beihu will come to this errand in the future. The second brother is full of talent, and he is from a two-list jinshi, needless to say in the future, it is possible to enter the cabinet and worship the prime minister, and Shulan still has to rely on the second brother to carry him. β
In front of the head, Yan and Qing Dai had some dislikes, this time I wanted to lead Qing Dai to help, but I didn't expect Qing Dai to be stunned and not answer, and I said that I was still in circles for most of the day.
Looking at the Qingdai who was still smiling, Yan's teeth itched with hatred, it was really Wang Ba who looked at the mung beans and saw the right eye. This girl and Lao Jiu are really a perfect match! A beast is harmless and has a lot of eyes, and a cold-faced and black-mouthed person is unforgiving.
My husband is afraid of the boss, forget it, he is still afraid of Lao Jiu, he can't type three sentences in one xxx, he is not anxious about his own affairs, let him beg Lao Jiu again, he refuses. As a result, I was cheeky to ask, but I was stopped outside the study by Lao Jiu's guards, otherwise where would I come to find this girl.
As soon as Qing Dai raised her eyes and looked over, Yan's immediately changed her smiling face, "This time the ninth brother came back from outside, I don't know if I mentioned the Dongliulin incident to you?" β
Finally asked the question.
Qing Dai glanced at Yan's, "That only said that I would go to the Liulin camp, and I was a woman who didn't want to ask about things outside, so I didn't ask in detail." β
Yan frowned slightly, didn't the ninth brother tell this girl? Should I mention it to her? Or don't mention it? After not mentioning it, she gloated again...... Hey, it can't be much darker. No matter how you say it, they are all a family, and if they are unlucky, they may not be fine. It's just that the ninth brother is not in a hurry now, which makes people feel bottomless. If you can ask her to ask for herself, it doesn't hurt to help say a few more kind words.
After a long day of ideological struggle, the Yan family was still anxious, so he told Qing Dai about the involvement of the Liulin camp and Hua Shaozhong, naturally complaining about those who did the work, and picked Hua Shaozhong out, "This matter is also caused by your second brother's negligence for a while, and it doesn't look like a big deal, but once someone talks about this, it will be troublesome." Although the second brother and the ninth brother are from Wen and Wu, after they go out, they are not all from the Hua family, and they all start their whole body...... The affairs of the Liulin camp were handed over to the ninth brother, and your second brother had something to hold in his heart, and he wouldn't ask if he was in a hurry. It's not good for me to be a sister-in-law to ask the ninth brother in person, so I have to ask my younger brother and sister to find a suitable opportunity to mention it in front of the ninth brother. β
Qing Dai listened to Yan's words and was silent for a while, it was impossible for Hua Shaoyan to watch his brother be unlucky in the matter of the Liulin camp, and Yan was still too anxious. What's more, it is more appropriate for men to say these words, but listening to Yan's tone, she should have the final say in the second room. The second brother is as elegant and gentle as a wife.
"I don't know much about things outside, so I think Shulan should know it in his heart. What the second sister-in-law said, I also wrote it down. However, I think it's more appropriate for the second brother to talk to Shu Lan about this matter. β
Qingdai, this is a response. Yan was slightly relieved, this trip was not in vain, "This is natural, there are Lao brothers and sisters." β
At this time, Apricot Blossom and Citron returned from the kitchen with rice. Before I entered the door, I heard Xinghua say loudly to someone: "Just ask the kitchen to add a small fried pork that you like to eat, Pei Huan's family actually asked for a penny, which is more expensive than the cook in ChΕ«n Jianglou." β
Yan, who was sitting in the back room, listened to this, his face changed, and the princess handed over the affairs of the Marquis of Zhongyi's mansion to Tingjia and her to take care of, and she was in charge of the kitchen.
"Each house in the house has its own account, and it is common to collect money for vegetables. When I first entered the house, the rules of the house should be followed. The maid was ignorant and made her sister-in-law smile. Qingdai did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, as if it was not herself who suffered.
Yan only felt that the indifferent and mocking and disdainful eyes at this moment were very similar to Hua Shaoyan, looking at you like this, it was more embarrassing than scolding two ugly words in his heart, "This group of minions has itchy skin, and they have to teach a good lesson." My younger sister and ninth brother are having dinner, so I won't bother and go back first. β
Yan left in a hurry, teaching her a lesson to the subordinates who had disgraced her.
As soon as she left, Apricot Blossom came in through the curtain.
Peach Blossom saw her empty-handed, "Where's the rice?" β
"The citron and the fragrant ru have been taken, and they will be brought up later."
Qing Dai glanced at Xinghua, "You talk a lot in Pingrì, but you haven't seen such a loud voice?" But it's a big one......"
Xinghua smiled at Qing Dai flatteringly, "Seeing xxxnΗi's maid standing on the side porch talking to Wu Shun's family, Xiangru's maid said that xxxnΗi has a good temper when talking to you today." The slave guessed that she was going to keep something to ask you, so she dared to shout. β
"Xiangru?" Qing Dai murmured, "It's an eye-eyed one." β
As soon as noon passed, Hua Shaoyan returned. Qing Dai was lying in the house for a lunch break when she was woken up by the sound of Hua Shaoyan entering the house.
"Want to enter the palace?"
"You lie down, I'll change my clothes and leave." Hua Shaoyan pressed back the Qingdai who had gotten up, "I also said that I would enter the palace next day, but I didn't expect the emperor to send someone first." β
"So fast? I'm already awake and can't sleep, I'll go get you an official uniform. Qingdai couldn't sleep, got up and asked Hua Shaoyan to sit down, and went to get the official uniform for him.
Hua Shaoyan took it twice and put it on, "Xu is the impeachment of the other two battalions, and the emperor is afraid that he has already seen it." I'll find out when I go. β
Qing Dai took advantage of his belt and said, "The second sister-in-law came to me last morning." β
"Well, she came to me and was stopped. The second brother couldn't let go of his face and asked me again, but the second sister-in-law couldn't sit still. I'll go back and send someone to tell my second brother, and she won't come to you again. β
Hua Shaoyan got dressed, Qing Dai looked up and down, there was nothing wrong, "Go early and return early, everything goes well." β
"Well, as soon as you got married, you were so disturbed by this matter that it didn't take two days for Ansheng to give birth to you, let you stay alone in the empty room, as soon as this matter is over, I will definitely compensate you!"
Qing Dai snorted softly, "SΓ¨ embryo." β
Hua Shaoyan pulled Qingdai into his arms, and kissed his lips against his cheek, "My buns are stuffed with meat, and I think more than others." I just want to say compensate you and take you out for a walk, do you want to be crooked? β
Qing Dai was deflated and pushed Hua Shaoyan, "Go, the emperor is waiting, hurry up and do your business!" β
Hua Shaoyan looked at Qing Dailang and laughed twice, then turned around and went out.
β¦β¦
Entering the palace, the chamberlain led Hua Shaoyan to the imperial study.
As soon as I stepped into the temple gate, I heard a loud shout: "Bastard-come here, draft the decree, I want to dismiss Fang Quan, Wu Weiyong, and Ding Gai ......."
The maids of the first hall were silent under the emperor's anger.
"The emperor is angry." Hua Shaoyan's voice sounded suddenly, and the person had already walked to the hall and knelt down, "I don't know what Wu Weiyong and Ding Gai did to make the emperor angry?" β
"Shulan, you're here. Flat, let's take a look at this first. The emperor shook his hand and threw a book in front of Hua Shaoyan.
Hua Shaoyan picked up the fold and looked at it, the emperor's anger was slightly eased because of Hua Shaoyan's arrival, and he raised his hand to press his swollen temples, "I asked you to check the Liulin camp, and none of them have been disposed of." The same thing happened to the Zephyr Camp and the Ruijin Camp again. β
Hua Shaoyan closed the fold and returned to the imperial case with both hands, "Wu Weiyong is an old minister who followed the emperor in the palace, and Ding Gai was also personally promoted by the emperor, how these two people are the emperor should be clear." The above is not yet fully credible. β
The Emperor picked up the fold and threw it on the table, making a muffled sound.
"I remember this pile clearly, even if there is a discrepancy, it will not be too big. What do you think I should do with them? Although the emperor was really angry, after all, he was a close minister around him, and it was more heartache.
"The minister has been in the Northwest Army for many years, this false declaration of vacancies is not a matter of one battalion or two battalions, sometimes it is also a helpless move of the main generals, the allocation of grain and grass logistics supplies, involving transportation rotation, not one or two rΓ¬ work, if it fails to directly affect the war in time, the main generals need to prepare in advance, and it is common sense to report the vacancies and add supplies in case of any time. Liulim Camp is located in Gyeonggi, and Xifeng and Ruijin are close to the border one to the west and one to the east, and the geographical location of the two is different, and the strategic needs are also different. Moreover, according to the explanation, the situation in the two places of West Wind and Ruijin is really normal, and it is not as serious as that of Liulin. β
Hua Shaoyan saw that the emperor's face softened a little, and continued: "The matter of empty and wasteful things is not formed in one thing, and it cannot be solved overnight. The law does not blame the public, and if it is dealt with too much at once, I am afraid that it will shake the foundation of the army. If the emperor did not use thunderbolt and thunder, he dealt with the first evil, and the others were punished lightly. One can play a deterrent role, and the other is that other people should restrain themselves when they see this situation, and they will do their best to serve the emperor. When things calm down, and the next step is to try to reform, these people will have nothing to say. β
The emperor loves talents, and it is impossible to really take the guards of the three battalions, Hua Shaoyan's words just happened to his heart, and he agreed immediately, "Okay!" Just as you say. Come on, the purpose. β
Seeing this, Hua Shaoyan knew that the matter had been resolved, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, calculating the time, the emperor should have seen the twists and turns that he had prepared overnight when he entered the palace, and the emperor should have something else to do.
"Your Majesty, why did you call Weichen?"
"Oh, if you don't mention it, I'll forget it." The emperor looked at Hua Shaoyan with a hint of inquiry in his eyes, "On the Wanshou Festival, the king of Beihu, Zongwu, and the princess entered Beijing to congratulate him. β
Hua Shaoyan was slightly surprised when he heard this, but it quickly disappeared, and he returned to his usual calm and cold face.
The emperor's face flashed with interest, and he added, "Shulan, Qin Shu is coming back." β
"Hmm. The emperor is looking for Weichen to come, just to tell Weichen the news that King Beihu and the princess are coming to Beijing? Or is there another errand assignment? β
The emperor clenched his fist to his lips and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "Naturally, there is an errand. In front of the head is Xiao Shi's personal envoy, and this time I plan to still send him as a welcome envoy, and go to Beidu next month to meet the mission. This time King Beihu came to Beijing, the stakes are very high, you go with Xiao Shi, and Long Wuwei secretly protects you. β
Hua Shaoyan knocked on the leader's order, "Weichen obeys the order!" β
From beginning to end, except for Hua Shaoyan who began to show a hint of surprise, there was nothing unusual.
"It's okay, you can go back!"
Emperor yΓΉ sent Hua Shaoyan away, but Hua Shaoyan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has one more matter." β
The emperor raised his eyelids slightly, his gaze wandered around Hua Shaoyan's face, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else is the matter?" β
Hua Shaoyan looked up and said, "The Liulin camp is over, and we are going to go to Beidu in May, and Wechen wants to ask the emperor to allow Wechen to go to the government at the end of the month now, and rest at home to accompany his wife." β
Hua Shaoyan opened his mouth to fake it, except for the last time he got married, this is the second time. This is to remind the emperor that he is still a newlywed Yan'er, and he has not stayed at home for a few years before he is stirred up.
The emperor's face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and he waved his hand, "Yes, let's go!" β
"Emperor Xie!" Hua Shaoyan thanked him and retired.
The emperor watched his back and left, and sighed, "Come on, go to Yuqing Palace and tell Concubine Yu that I will go to her tonight." β
The next day, the emperor issued an order to dispose of Fang Quan, the guard of the Liulin battalion, and the people involved in the matter were demoted and punished. Yan was happy that Hua Shaozhong had escaped, but he was dissatisfied that in addition to the fine, Hua Shaozhong was also demoted by half a level, from the sixth grade to the sixth grade.
Needless to say, Hua Shaoqi is the son of the world, Hua Shaozhong's two lists of Jinshi are much stronger than Hua Shaoyan, the prodigal son who was originally famous in the capital, and Hua Shaoyan has been leading the idle position of Liupin since he came back from the northwest. But now, although he has no official position, he is already from the rank of the fourth grade. Now that this incident has come out, Hua Shaozhong is not half a star worse than Hua Shaoyan. Although Yan did not dare to complain about Hua Shaoyan in person,!!!
