Chapter 104: The Matter of the Court

After Xie Jingxing asked Steward Ji to leave, he couldn't wait to open the baggage, which contained a strange-looking dress and pants, the collar was particularly high, and there was no placket tie, as if it was directly put on. And two long, thick strips of cloth? I don't know what it's for. He knew the last two pairs of gloves, Xie Jingxing wore them and tried them, this kind of five-finger separation is much more convenient than the all-inclusive one.

Fortunately, Jiang Yan also put a letter under the baggage, which introduced the purpose of the sweater and scarf, and indicated that she estimated that she would not be able to send him away, so she would send the goodbye gift in advance.

Xie Jingxing was lost at first, but when he saw the gift, he was happy again, and hurriedly took off his coat, changed into a sweater and pants, and happily took a picture in front of the dressing mirror. He also asked his little servant Yong'an how he looked.

Because Jiang Yan was in a hurry, the wool was not dyed, the wool was its original white, Xie Jingxing was handsome, and his perennial martial arts figure was also tall, even if he was wearing this set of clothes with the aesthetic weirdness of the ancients, he did not hide the slightest demeanor of him.

Yongan didn't understand what Jiang Yan was doing when he sent such a set of clothes, whether their son-in-law still lacked clothes and couldn't wear them, or in this strange shape.

However, he still praised him greatly, and suggested: "This dress is really plain, why don't you take it off first and let the sewing room embroider some lines on the cuffs and neckline?" ”

Xie Jingxing felt the warmth of the woolen sweater before saying, "No need, this is good." ”

He thought about what Jiang Yan wrote in the letter, and said reluctantly: "There is also a pair of gloves and a scarf on the table, you pick one and hold it, and give the rest to Buguang, this is given to you by Miss Jiang." ”

Yongan was pleasantly surprised: "We also have it?" "And it's not weird-looking clothes!

Yongan immediately picked up the gloves and put them on, he didn't want the scarf, it still looked a little weird.

To be honest, after Yongan knew that these were all made by Jiang Yan herself, she wondered if Miss Jiang meant anything to their son-in-law, after all, she made clothes by herself, even if she had some adventures, these human customs were also understood. I didn't expect them to have it, it seems that he thought too much.

Jiang Yan didn't know that she was almost misunderstood, she and Yongan Buguang also knew each other after all, and she didn't hide it from Xie Jingxing when she interacted with them, thinking that these two people were also going to follow Xie Jingxing to Yunzhou, so she also did the same for one of them, which was also a meaning.

……

In the large study room of the outer courtyard, Qing'an Hou is talking with his staff Mr. Liang, although the court is on holiday for the New Year, but all kinds of things are the same, but they have been postponed and postponed, and now that the Lantern Festival has passed, all kinds of documents are piled up on the desk.

The Marquis of Qing'an is talking about the heavy snow in the south this year, and it stands to reason that it is not his turn to be in charge of a marquis in charge of military affairs, but the Hangzhou garrison is the person under his hands, and it is said that the food and salary there have not been paid for three months because of the heavy snow, so he can't help but send a letter to the Marquis of Qing'an, asking about the movement in Beijing.

"Recently, Beijing and China have been talking about provincial relatives, but they have not heard of the snow disaster in the south." Mr. Liang smiled and said, "Yes, it's the New Year, who wants to touch this mold." ”

Qing'anhou sneered, "That is, the provincial relatives are only available today with filial piety and affection for others, and there is a group of relatives who are being favored, so everyone naturally knows what to discuss." ”

Mr. Liang said: "This time the matter of the provincial relatives is also a little sudden, I have not heard any rumors before, and suddenly there is news that the saint thinks that the world is as great as the word 'filial piety', by himself and people, because he sees that the concubines and concubines in the palace have been in the palace for many years, and they must miss their parents' voices. ”

He paused for a moment and continued: "What's even more surprising is that the Emperor Taishang not only agreed, but also issued a decree to open up the grace of convenience, and specially issued an edict to allow relatives to invite the inner court to enter his private affairs, and make a little bit of personal affection and family nature. ”

"Didn't you already feel that something was wrong, sir? Let's also say it directly," Qing'an Hou said: "Your Majesty wants to buy people's hearts through filial piety, so the Emperor Taishang simply gathered people's hearts to himself." Provincial will, who still remembers the grace of His Majesty to allow his Jiaofang dependents to enter the palace? I'm afraid I'm just talking about this unprecedented provincial relative. ”

He sighed: "The Emperor Taishang deserves to sit on the throne for so many years, and there are still many shortcomings compared to him today." ”

Mr. Liang did not express an opinion on this, but said: "But after all, he is already the emperor." ”

It seemed that he was talking about the central matter, Qing'anhou was silent for a moment before he spoke: "This is also what I think in my heart." It's just that I am deeply favored by the emperor, and in the end I still want to get along with the monarch and the minister. ”

The Marquis of Qing'an was also pitted by the Emperor Taishang, you said that your emperor deserved it well, what kind of abdication! Just abdicate, at the beginning, let these old ministers assist the emperor, but after a few months of retirement, they couldn't live anymore, and they began to meddle in the government again, so that the two bosses on their heads didn't know who to listen to.

After all, the Emperor Taishang has many years of experience, and he has the natural identity of father and son, so he still has the upper hand. But now after all, he is already the emperor, and there have been many people over the years, in the opinion of Qing'an Hou, this court is now a muddy water, and I am afraid that there will be waves in the future, and I don't know how many people will be swept down.

Mr. Liang smoothed his beard and said, "Master Hou has already decided, so that's it." "As for the Empress Taishang's funeral, that's what they should worry about.

Qing'an Hou smiled bitterly, he is now inseparable from the support of the Emperor Taishang, even from the personal feelings of the Emperor Taishang, but the current Emperor Taishang really makes him a little strange, a monarch who was originally eloquent and strategic, but now he only cares about fighting for power and profit with his son, and even the people of the world can't see it.

Mr. Liang said again: "It's just that the third prince really doesn't need to explain to him?" ”

Qing'an Hou lowered his eyes, stared at the pen mountain on the bookcase, and said lightly: "Jingxing can make himself live comfortably wherever he goes, it is better to let him go without knowing anything, maybe there will be many surprises." ”

At this time, a servant reported outside the door: "Master Hou, the friend surnamed Jiang of the third prince has sent him something again." ”

Qing'an Hou frowned, and Mr. Liang said, "But the Jiang Gongzi who couldn't be found last time?" But it's rare that the Hou Mansion can't find out the history. ”

Qing'an Hou said: "This person's origin is quite strange, it seems to appear out of thin air, and no one knows how Jing Xing met him." If it weren't for the fact that he appeared at most twice a year and didn't have contact with the Hou Mansion, I would have found him anyway. Anyway, Jing Xing is going to leave Beijing, so let him go for the time being. ”
