Chapter 301: The Court
Jiang Yan didn't believe that Xie Jingxing stayed in Yunzhou in order to be promoted, Yunzhou and the capital are basically the same heaven and one place, and people with brains will not want to stay in Yunzhou all the time, even if they are a seven-rank petty official in the capital, it is better than being a prefect in Yunzhou.
Besides, since he was a child, he has been in contact with the prince of the country, the emperor's relatives and relatives, how can a small guerrilla general be taken into his eyes, and even ignore his family in Beijing, the old lady who raised him single-handedly is already sixty or seventy years old.
Xie Jingxing touched his nose and said, "I haven't finished my words yet, I just want to show that staying in Yunzhou is not for nothing." ”
"Then why don't you go back to Beijing?" Jiang Yan asked, his father is Qing'an Hou, and no one should dare to make a stumbling block to force people to stay.
Xie Jingxing did not answer directly, but said another thing.
"You know that an old lady in the palace is gone this year, the emperor's biological mother died early, this old concubine raised the emperor for many years, so the emperor has a deep affection for her, not a mother and son are better than a mother and son, after the old concubine went, the emperor also gave her a twenty-seven days of mourning. Maybe the grief is too great, and the health is not very good after returning to the palace. ”
When Jiang Yan heard the palace secrets at first glance, she couldn't react, what does this have to do with him not returning to Beijing?
Xie Jingxing continued: "The three princes in the palace have married adults, needless to say, the prince is the queen's concubine, and his identity has been determined early, and the other two mothers are one is the head of the Hanlin Academy, and the other is the chief soldier of the southwest battalion, all of whom can stir up the wind and rain. My father also received a lot of hints from me, he felt that the capital was not peaceful, and asked me to stay outside for a few more years. ”
Jiang Yan was not surprised at all, "Ordinary people have some money, and the brothers still have to make a lot of trouble, can the royal family still have peace with the whole world?" You're not going back because of this? Hou Ye has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and he has been in the court for half his life, so he shouldn't care about this little wave. ”
Xie Jingxing said: "Then what if you add the one from the Qianqing Palace?" ”
"The Emperor? Didn't he all retreat? ”
"That person abdicated because he felt that time was running out, and the East Palace was also set in a hurry at that time, but after the abdication, his health slowly improved, and he has not completely let go of the government over the years, you can see that he has been living in the Qianqing Palace."
Jiang Yan is in contact with the most intrigue of the maids every day, and when she heard this kind of court event, she really felt a little confused, she hesitated and said, "Is that dissatisfied with the East Palace?" ”
Xie Jingxing said: "It's just that I can't see that person's attitude that makes people panic." He didn't say much to the three princes, but recently he often summoned the king of Yizhong County into the palace. ”
Jiang Yan couldn't understand it at all, "Who is this Yizhong County King?" ”
Xie Jingxing knew that she definitely didn't know about these old things, and patiently explained: "King Yizhong is the son of Prince Yizhong, Prince Yizhong was originally the most important prince, he did something wrong and was demoted to a concubine, and a few years later he died of depression, and he also re-named him Prince Yizhong, so that his eldest son inherited the title. If you really want to talk about it, he is the real eldest son and grandson. ”
Jiang Yan's eyes widened in surprise, "You mean...... Impossible! The ministers of the court would not agree to it. ”
Xie Jingxing shook his head, "Not necessarily, this year is the seventh year of Hengfeng, Prince Yizhong has been the crown prince for more than 30 years, if it weren't for too long, he might not be able to bear it." For so many years, who knows how many people are his people in the court. King Yizhong also grew up next to that one, and if that one really wanted to do this, the result would be really bad. ”
"It's too messy, it's too messy." Jiang Yan muttered, "What Master Hou said makes sense, you better stay in Yunzhou, anyway, it's not bad for a few years." ”
The emperor is more than seventy people, and he is still so tired every day, he will definitely not last long, the Qing'an Hou Mansion has never been involved in these succession things, and when the dust settles on these things, it will not be too late for Xie Jingxing to go back.
Xie Jingxing saw that she seemed to be frightened, and said with a smile: "Actually, I don't really want to leave Yunzhou, although the conditions are difficult, it's okay to get used to it." In recent years, because of the collection of wool and the sale of woolen clothes, there has been a lot of excitement here, and several new shops have been opened, and even those Hu merchants and herdsmen from Beidi have come over a lot. ”
Jiang Yan didn't want to talk about those things anymore, so she followed his words and said, "Hu Shang? Is it from the Western Regions? They should have a lot of good stuff in their hands. ”
"I'll go to them at my leisure, it's a bit weird, why don't I take you there in the afternoon?"
Jiang Yan smiled: "Okay, this time I brought enough silver tickets, this time I have to buy a big one." ”
She originally thought that the environment in Jiafu was getting worse and worse, and she would come to copy and inspect it one day, so she brought out all the silver and silver tickets she had accumulated over the years, and prepared to put them all in the bank, anyway, the monthly money every month was enough.
Unexpectedly, Yunzhou suddenly became prosperous, and merchants from all over the world gathered, so she could buy it first.
At noon, Jiang Yan and Xie Jingxing were the two of them, and when she asked, she knew that Yongan had gone to the field to check the accounts, and Buguang was no longer his guard, he had been thrown to the guard below, and now he was a general, and he couldn't go back to the mansion at ordinary times.
Jiang Yan sighed: "You have been living too lonely these days, why haven't you married?" Anyway, I have someone with me. ”
Xie Jingxing said indifferently: "The old lady wrote to me, but I am in Yunzhou, and I have no time to go back, so I can't find a girl I haven't seen before." Besides, I don't like those ladies, I can't say a word with them for a long time, and I'm suffocated to death. Fortunately, my father was not in a hurry, and persuaded the old lady, saying that the eldest boy had no wife, and he finally did a good deed. Although it is likely that he feels that the court is unstable now, and it is inappropriate to marry at will. ”
Jiang Yan said with a smile: "How is it possible, the court has been like this for at least a few years, and it is impossible for Qing'an Hou not to let you marry because of this." ”
"No matter what the reason, anyway, I don't want to marry now," Xie Jingxing suddenly remembered, "I forgot to tell you, Buguang got married last year, and now he has bought a house near the health center, and the two of them live there, and they will only come back during the New Year's holidays." ”
Jiang Yan said angrily: "Why are you only saying such an important thing now?" Shouldn't this kind of good thing be told to me in the first place? ”
Xie Jingxing shook his head indescribably, "You don't know who he married, I have to know her wife, how can I take the initiative to mention it." ”
Jiang Yan's curiosity has come up, Xie Jingxing can be regarded as open-minded, and the woman who can keep him silent doesn't know what kind of character she is.
