Chapter 147
The old mansion of Yuge in the capital was quiet early in the morning, the old man was unwell and sick at home recently, and the little maids passed by the study in the front yard and raised their steps, very afraid of making a noise and making noise to the old man who was recuperating. [No pop-ups. 】
Yu Ge has been an official in the court for many years, and he has been up early for most of his life, and he has developed a habit of getting up early even if he is sick at home.
Today, when the door of Yufu was opened, someone sent a secret letter, and he finished reading the letter and pondered for a long time before the case.
With his political sense of experience as an official in the court for many years, since Zhou Hong was appointed as the envoy of the two Huai salts, he smelled a sense of crisis, being in a high position, but he could not control his grandson remotely, so he could only hope that he had been trained in the army for many years to resolve the current crisis.
When Zhou Hong was standing still in Lianghuai, he was still quite relieved, at least when he couldn't ensure his own safety, not acting rashly was the best way to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Hong endured it for more than a year, but in the end, he still couldn't hold it back, and tore a bloody hole in the carrion of the Jiangnan Salt Road, stabbing the problem in front of the saint.
Since the letter in Beijing, the threshold of Yufu was almost broken, there are fellow villagers and disciples in the middle, and Yu Ge Lao has a wide range of contacts in the court, needless to say, these people ask shàng mén to come, and they must all be related to the word salt.
He sensitively sensed that the storm was approaching, maybe this time it was not only because of the salt road, but there would be other reasons, but he didn't know the details of the two Huai, it happened to be snowing in Beijing in early winter, he had a little cold, but he was sick and at home.
When he was anxious, Zhou Hong's secret letter was sent to his case.
Yu Ge Lao sat in the study for too long, the brazier brought in by the little servant was about to go out, and the room gradually became cold, he got up and opened the window, only to find that he didn't know when, it was snowing outside the window again. This is the second snow of the winter, and there is a gap of half a month between the two times, and he is still closed in the house.
Originally, two days ago, he was still considering canceling his sick leave to enter the court, but after receiving Zhou Hong's letter, he changed his mind again.
In an eventful season, he could neither rashly help his grandson, nor could he help his disciples and fellow villagers at will, so he could only wait and see.
The elder Yu Pavilion closed the door to recuperate, but in the evening of this day, the door of the Yu Mansion was knocked open, and His Royal Highness the Prince came to the Yu Mansion to visit the patient.
The saint was not in good health, and the prince went to the palace from time to time to serve the sick, but the saint never let go of the prince to supervise the country. Although the prince can share the worries of the saint, he always consults the saint for advice on all matters in the court, and the efficiency of handling court affairs is much slower than when the saint is in good health. At this time, Yu Ge was sick at home again, and the prince was really anxious to run, and he had not yet seen results, so he asked the sage to come to Yu Mansion to visit the patient today.
Originally, it was nothing for the prince to come to Yu Mansion to visit the old ministers, and it was an honor for the future prince to visit the sick in person with the qualifications of the old Yu Ge, but in extraordinary times, the saint was extremely sensitive, and if he set foot in Yu Mansion without consulting him, he would be suspected of entrapping important ministers.
Yu Ge Lao greeted the prince in the study, he was held by the arms of the two little servants waiting in the study, and knelt down trembling slightly: "Weichen doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Prince is coming, and he has missed the welcome, please forgive His Highness!" ”
After receiving a report from the door, the prince came in person, and the old man of Yu Ge was wrapped in a handkerchief, covering the handkerchief and coughing vigorously, as if he was going to cough out his lungs. Recently, medicine came in from time to time in the study, so he brought it to water the flowers, and when he entered the door, he smelled a smell of medicine.
The prince has often been in front of the saint Rén miàn recently, and often listens to the saint's cough, before he came, he still had doubts in his heart, I don't know how many times he scolded the "old fox", and when he saw that the situation was not good, he pretended to be sick, and now he helped Yu Ge to get up, feeling that the old fox seemed to have pressed half of the weight of his body under his arms, thinking that he was usually decent, and he would definitely not lose his honor in front of the prince, so he guessed that he was a fake illness and his mind was also a little lighter.
"Elder Ge, please get up! The father and emperor are sick, the old man is sick and at home, and there are thousands of things to do, and he is really lonely and lacks skills. Both the father and the orphan are looking forward to the elder Ge getting well as soon as possible. ”
Yu Ge Lao coughed for a long time before he replied: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, Weichen also wants to go back as soon as possible, but he is sick and difficult to support when he is old, and I am afraid that he will not be able to serve the saint and His Highness recently!" ”
The prince secretly scolded Yu Ge Lao for being cunning in his heart, and the matter of Jiangnan Yandao had been spread in Beijing, not only affecting Yu Ge Lao, but even the prince was quite affected, although he came today to be ordered by the saint, but it implied another layer of thought. Thinking that Zhou Hong is the grandson of Yu Ge Lao, he must know more about the affairs of Jiangnan, and he may not have the intention of inquiring about the news.
"Lone also hopes that the elder will get well as soon as possible. Ge Lao has been sick and at home recently, but I don't know that your grandson Zhou Qianke is about to turn the two Huai Salt Road upside down. Qiao Liping has been escorted back to Beijing and temporarily detained in Dali Temple, while the fellow salt lord murderers jumped into the river halfway and fled. ”
When Yu Ge Lao received Zhou Hong's letter, Gong Jiang had not disappeared before he was escorted out of Yangzhou by an angel, so he didn't know the latest news. Hearing this, he was immediately surprised: "This salt lord murderer is too cunning, right?" Even if he escaped, he didn't know if he could get people back. ”
Gong Jiang can't catch it back, salt
