Chapter 266: Doubts
After Chen Xuanqing left, Gu Jinchao took out the letter Cao Ziheng gave her and read it carefully.
What Cao Ziheng said in his letter was Gu Deyuan's greed for ink, and he had to make it clearer than the third master's concealment.
Gu Deyuan was dragged into the water because Ying Tianfu Tongzhi had an accident and confessed to him when he was tortured. Ying Tianfu has been an official for several years, and he is corrupt, and he has done a lot of unconscionable things because of corruption. Gu Deyuan, as the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, protected the Tongzhi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has not found the body of the Tongzhi of the Ying Tianfu Mansion over the years, and it is Gu Deyuan who secretly protects him.
Knowingly, Gu Deyuan may not be able to get out this time. Even if it is not a reduction in posts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape deposition.
When Gu Deyuan knew that something had happened to Fu Tongzhi, he first asked the Feng family to find the Yao family for help, but Lord Yao did not have a deep foothold in the cabinet, so it was difficult to help. And Changxing Houjia didn't even think about it, Changxing Hou would not help him. Cao Ziheng probably should have also asked Chen Sanye for help, but he didn't know what was going on. This Gu Jinchao knew that Chen Sanye was still discussing with her yesterday.
Cao Ziheng talked about Wang Xuanfan again. Since he was involved in the case of official salt resale, his status has not been as good as before. I heard that he recently lost his honor in front of the palace and was deposed by the emperor as the prefect of Yangzhou, and no one in the court pleaded for him.
……
After Gu Jinchao read it, he burned the letter paper and thought about it for a long time.
If there is no way to ask for it everywhere, Feng will definitely ask for her. Gu Deyuan is her only son, and she will not let Gu Deyuan have an accident.
If Gu Deyuan hadn't done something unconscionable, Gu Jinchao wouldn't have helped, after all, he couldn't write two Gu characters in one stroke. But now that it has developed to this point, Gu Jinchao doesn't want Chen Sanye to increase his infamy because she is involved. We can only see it then.
However, Cao Ziheng said something very important.
It turned out that Wang Xuanfan was demoted to the prefect of Yangzhou, not because of Chen Sanye. It's because of the loss of honor in front of the temple.
The current emperor is now thirteen years old, although he is still a young man. But he must have understood everything...... Deposed Wang Xuanfan, was someone else instructed him, or did he do it deliberately?
Gu Jinchao remembered that in his previous life, during the reign of this young emperor, the country was stable, although the court was in turmoil, the people were healthy and the world was prosperous. From a puppet to a wise monarch, I'm afraid it's not such a simple thing.
The death of the third master in his previous life, who was behind him?
Gu Jinchao had to add an emperor to this list, in addition to Zhang Julian, Chen Sanye was also obviously subject to the emperor.
She thought a lot, and then came over with a candlestick and burned the letter.
And Chen Sanye was talking to Chen Siye in the Heyan Building at this time, talking about business.
“…… Jacquard silk, printed silk, and silk are all purchased from Shaoxing, and the quantity is very large. It was through the Ji family's merchant shipping and cargo company, the canal rose and stopped operating a few months ago, and the store suffered a lot of losses, but it gradually improved this month. ”
In business, Chen Siye has always been in charge, and Chen Yanyun doesn't interfere much.
"There will inevitably be times when there will be losses. You don't have to tell me about that. Chen Sanye smiled and said, "You and I are still relieved." ”
Chen Yanyun also smiled: "I always have to tell you, after all, we are brothers of the same mother." ”
"When my father was there, he said that brotherly unity and harmony were the most important thing. Even if the second brother and the sixth brother are not the same mother and we are not compatriots, they are all the same. Chen Sanye just smiled, "You think about it a lot, and these things are better than the sixth child." Speaking of the sixth child, he has been bored in Baoxiang Temple recently, and he is also uncomfortable, you have time to go and see him. ”
Chen Yanwen nodded in response, "I may not have seen him for a long time." He asked Chen Sanye again, "I heard that the third sister-in-law's second uncle had an accident?" ”
"Well, I've been detained." Chen Sanye leaned on the Taishi chair and drank a cup of hot tea.
"Aren't you going to help? I've heard that he's probably not going to be good this time. ”
"When the time comes, I'm recuperating now, and it's not good to meddle in these things." Chen Sanye replied to him ambiguously.
Chen Yanwen said: "Speaking of recuperation, I helped you get a basket of anchovies, and I have already sent someone to send them to you." ”
At this time, Chen Yi came over to talk back.
Chen Yanwen left Heyan Tower first and prepared some things to see Sixth Master Chen.
“…… The subordinates of the two Ministry of Industry have checked, Ji Qiuping has been an official for 20 years and believes in the golden mean. Now he is close to the sixtieth year, and he is highly respected in the Ministry of Industry. And Fan Hui is a Jinshi in Jiajing for forty years, two subjects lower than you, and he was the fourth in the second class that year. I'm only thirty-six years old now......"
After Wang Xuanfan withdrew from the cabinet, the new secretary of the Ministry of Industry is likely to be the cabinet minister.
This selection is particularly important.
Chen Yi said: "Mr. Jiang thinks that Ji Qiuping is more likely to be promoted. ”
"It is not excluded that someone else will join the cabinet...... Pay close attention to Master Zhang's movements. Chen Sanye told him and paused.
Chen Yi saw that Chen Sanye was silent in thought, so he asked, "What's the matter, what do you think is wrong?" ”
"I'm wondering, is it good or bad for Wang Xuanfan to lose his honor in front of the palace...... the corners of Chen Sanye's mouth curled, "I didn't think it was good before, but now that I think about it carefully, it's not without benefits...... "The two waiters of the Ministry of Industry are not from their Zhang family, which is very good for balancing the power of the cabinet."
Chen Sanye faintly felt that Zhang Julian was guarding against himself. And this kind of precaution Zhang Julian himself was not aware of. Now that there are foreign forces, Zhang Julian's vigilance will be relaxed, and he will put considerable energy on the new cabinet ministers.
Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and said to him: "By the way, you ask your subordinates to send someone to guard Muxitang secretly, and if there is any situation, I will tell you...... The subordinates don't know whether to say this or not. ”
After Chen Sanye himself was assassinated, he arranged guards in Muxitang, and lived in the side room of the previous hall, and Gu Jinchao didn't know about it. He was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable when she found out, but he was worried about the safety of the Jin Dynasty. I was going to get the guards back in a few days.
He nodded: "You say, what's the matter." ”
"The Seventh Young Master went to see the Fourth Young Master today...... During his stay at Madame's, there seemed to be some controversy. However, it was far away, and the guards were not quite sure what they were talking about, and the Seventh Young Master didn't seem to be very respectful of his wife's words. After Chen Yi heard what the guards said, he wasn't quite sure whether to tell Chen Sanye or not. But think about it, if the lady and the seventh young master have any unhappiness in private, Chen Sanye should also know.
To his surprise, Chen Sanye frowned slightly after hearing this, and pondered for a long time.
Then he asked Chen Yi: "At that time...... Who is in the room? ”
Chen Yi said: "It seems that there is only one personal girl of Madame, and the fourth lady asked Mama to take it out." Third Master, is there something wrong with the Seventh Young Master and Madame...... I saw that the Seventh Young Master walked very fast when he came out, and he looked quite angry. ”
Chen Sanye said indifferently: "No matter how angry you are, there is absolutely no reason to be angry with your stepmother." ”
Chen Xuanqing was uncomfortable when he saw Gu Jinchao several times, he originally thought that it was because of Gu Jinchao's identity that embarrassed him. But judging from Zhou Yixuan's matter, Chen Xuanqing seems to be ...... Far from embarrassment. How could he, a person who believes in 'gentlemen's friendship is as light as water', not respect his stepmother. And with Jin Chao's temperament, it is impossible to do anything out of the ordinary to make him angry. Unless...... He and Gu Jinchao have known each other for a long time.
But he never knew the two men knew.
What does the third master mean by this?
Chen Yi didn't quite understand, but he obviously found that after he said this, Chen Sanye's expression immediately changed...... He couldn't help but regret it a little, it was better not to talk about this kind of private affairs in the house. Who knows what the third master is going to do.
"Third master, this is nothing. Maybe it's because of the fourth miss......" Chen Yi said busily, feeling a cold sweat on his forehead.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was wrong, the Seventh Young Master and Madame didn't seem to be people with bad tempers, how could they have a dispute in vain. Fortunately, there is a girl in the house, otherwise it will inevitably make people think more...... But this girl is Madame's personal girl, and she must be towards Madame when she speaks and acts.
"Or, go down and check ......," Chen Yi asked tentatively.
Several thoughts flashed in Chen Yanyun's heart, no matter what he said, Gu Jinchao must have something to hide from him.
He didn't like her to hide something from him, and he didn't like things about her to be out of his control, which made him feel agitated.
But he should also respect her. I believe that these things are all misunderstandings, and he is thinking too much. What can a stepmother and a stepchild have?
He closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and said lightly, "...... No, it should have never happened. ”
When he returned to Muxitang in the evening, Gu Jinchao was not in the house.
He went to the clean room and changed his clothes, and came out with a book. It was dark outside, and Gu Jinchao hadn't come back yet.
Chen Sanye put down the book and found that the basket she was doing embroidery was resting on the kang table, and there was still a child's shoe in it that had not been sewn. He took the child's shoes and looked at them, thinking that such a small thing, the tiger head she embroidered was still lifelike.
The girl came up with a cup of Junshan silver needle, Chen Sanye took a sip, felt that there was no usual fragrance of tea, put it aside and asked the girl: "What about Madam?" ”
The girl replied: "The slave and maid are not close to the service, I don't know. Sister Qingpu went to the needlework room in the outer courtyard to get something just now. ”
Chen Sanye asked her to go down, and waited for another quarter of an hour before she heard the sound of Jin Chao and the girl talking, and it was getting closer and closer.
After the girl opened the curtain, Jin Chao came in, saw Chen Sanye sitting on the Luohan bed, and asked him with a smile: "You have come back, why didn't you read today?" ”
Gu Jinchao found that Chen Sanye looked at her a little strangely, he didn't answer, but his expression was very calm. When she walked to the side of Luohan's bed and sat down, before she could say anything, she was suddenly grabbed by Chen Sanye's wrist: "...... Where did you just go? ”
Gu Jinchao felt that his hand was a little stronger, which made her wrist hurt, and she struggled for a while: "I went to my mother's place, and she said let me help choose a few tricks...... Third master, you hurt me. ”
It turned out that I went to my mother's.
Chen Sanye let go of her, only to find that her wrist was really red by herself. "My men didn't pay attention...... Why is your skin so squeamish. With a slight pinch, it turned red, and Chen Sanye helped her blow and rub it.
"Have you waited a long time and are you mad at me?" Gu Jinchao said with a smile, "Mother said that you can't choose what to make swaddling clothes for children." You used to be busy with the affairs of the cabinet, and it wasn't for me to wait. Why, waiting for someone to taste uncomfortable, right? ”
Chen Sanye looked at her for a long time, hugged her tightly in his arms, and whispered, "How could I be angry with you." ”
Gu Jinchao let him hold it, but he still thought about Cao Ziheng's letter in his heart. After a while, I suddenly heard Chen Sanye ask her: "Jin Chao, did you have a good time with Sister Xi today, did anything interesting happen?" ”
Gu Jinchao came back to his senses: "I don't know...... What do you say interesting? ”
He touched Jin Chao's hair and smiled: "It's nothing, just ask." ”R1152
