Chapter 734: Urgent Edict (II)
The matter of the enclosure has not been resolved, and the war in Xuantong Mansion is urgent, and no one dares to guarantee that no one will make up their minds to hit Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai followed the second lady to live in the Xishan Courtyard for a few days, just to avoid these two things.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Xu Lingyi saluted the second lady, "Then trouble the second sister-in-law to serve her mother and live in the Xishan Courtyard for a few days!" ”
The second lady nodded, turned and went into the house.
"Let Xu Sijie and Yingniang take Brother Ting and Brother Zhuang to live together for a few days!" Eleven Niang and Xu Lingyi walked side by side on the road paved with bluestone slabs, "It's also more lively!" ”
"You arrange it!" Xu Lingyi said, "I may be very busy these days!" Shen said, "This matter should be sooner rather than later." ”
Eleventh Niang responded, and when she returned home, she called Xu Sizhen and Xu Si to admonish the husband and wife: "Tell Brother Er and Yingniang to take the children to accompany the grandmother and the second aunt to the small courtyard of the Xishan Courtyard; Brother Zhen went to the second aunt to get the auspicious day of the zodiac for departure, arranged the trivial things to go to Xishan to stay, stayed at home to help me entertain the guests, and Yingniang helped the children pack up the cages. After speaking, he instructed the two of them separately, "Brother Zhen sent more guards to the Xishan Courtyard, don't let people quarrel about renting a mother; Brother Jie is there to accompany his grandmother, don't let her grandmother feel bored and want to come back! ”
Chen Gelao's suggestion to recover the land given by the princess and noble has already spread all over Yanjing, and they are also worried about this matter - without the land, only those who have errands and titles will have Nianlu, and those who have no errands and titles will have no Nianlu, so that the Xu family will only have Xu Lingyi, Xu Lingkuan, Xu Sizhen, and Xu Sijin have Nianlu, and their income will be reduced by at least nine-tenths, not to mention those who only have one title.
The people in Yanjing are staring at Zhou Shizheng and Xu Lingyi, what do they say! They just don't have political sensitivities anymore and know it's not going to be easy.
Xu Sizhen and Xu Sizhen should be in unison and act separately.
Mrs. Tai only said that the second lady wanted to go, and Yingniang, who likes to talk, took Brother Ting and Brother Zhuang with her, and immediately responded with a smile.
The second lady quickly cut the horse and set the day of departure for two days later.
Pack up the cage and plan to follow the maids, daughters-in-law, mothers-in-law, stove servants, and night watchmen who have served in the past...... Jiang's busy group turned, and finally sent away Mrs. Tai and others, and had to rearrange the mother-in-law on duty at night, the maids and mothers-in-law who cleaned the houses, and finally took a breath, Yongchang Hou Mansion, Weibei Hou Mansion, Zhongshan Hou Mansion, Dingguo Mansion, and even the fifth lady's maiden Dingnan Hou Mansion and the Zhennan Hou Mansion Wang family, who usually don't come and go, came to visit the door from time to time, arranged refreshments, meals, sent guests, and accompanied the young nainai who served the mother-in-law to talk, Jiang's feet did not touch the ground, But I also heard it from the few words that occasionally fell in my ears - the war in the northwest was tight, and the military salary was in short supply, and the emperor decided to take back all the fields given by the minister's house to fill the military salary, and the ladies probed each other.
"Mrs. Tang rest assured, this is not a family matter", Shi Niang repeatedly said, "Our family Hou Ye can't keep silent even if he doesn't care about this matter."
Mrs. Tang sighed: "This time, these pavilion elders have gone too far. Isn't this going to cut us off? ”
"Rabbits bite when they're in a hurry. Moreover, he is going to cut us off. ”
Mrs. Wang Shizi, who was so thin that she only had a handful of bones but could still speak, smiled coldly, "Didn't the emperor say that the war in the northwest is tight and the treasury is empty? He Chen Zixiang innovates every year, and there are new policies every year, why is the treasury empty? Now you want us people to help wipe your ass, how can there be such a good thing in the world? ”
Chen Zixiang is the name of Chen Gelao.
Madame Tang didn't make a sound, but her eyes flickered.
Mrs. Wang Shizi of Zhennan glanced at Mrs. Tang quickly out of the corner of her eyes, and said goodbye with a smile: "I have obtained Madame's letter, and I can go back to give us Hou Yejiao." I'll go back first. When Madame is free someday, she will come back to me and sit down. Speaking of which, our two families are also in-laws. ”
Eleven Niang smiled and personally sent Mrs. Wang Shizi of Zhennan to the door.
When she came back, Mrs. Tang also got up and said goodbye: "What our Hou Ye means, take advantage of the good news in Xuantong Mansion to write a book one day, and the emperor will be happy and easier." He added, "I'm going to sit down with Mrs. Zhou." ”
"It should go, it should go." Eleven Niang sent her out, "Madame's words, I will also tell Master Hou." ”
Mrs. Tang walked away with a chin in her face.
Jiang helped Eleven Niang to sit down in the inner room, and hesitated: "Mother, as Mrs. Wang said, there have often been new policies in the imperial court over the years, and the first emperor has been there more than once, and the country is rich and the people are strong, all because of Chen Ge Lao." Now that the emperor says that the treasury is empty, maybe it's an excuse? Now that the emperor is determined...... Is it useful to write like this? ”
Eleven Niang smiled: "Before Mrs. Wang said these words, did you think of it?" Mother-in-law gentle as a drizzle.
Jiang Shi was bold: "I've thought of it too!" ”
"Look, you've thought about it, Mrs. Wang has thought about it, and other people have naturally thought of it." Eleven Niang smiled, "But why do you still send your wife to visit the door like this and make a private agreement?" It's not like I can't wait to see which one can't wait, and I'm the first to jump out! Cersei, our family, has always been modest, neither going to the front of others, nor to the back of others, but how to get out in a timely manner, this is a science. And again,
"Cersei, you have to remember my words. Our family is a noble minister, as long as there is no mistake, this wealth is long-term prosperity; It's not an official family, and it pays attention to things like 'Wen admonishing death', even if there is no one among the children, with such a reputation, it may still be respected. ”
Jiang was sweating profusely, and the bowing sound should be.
Liu Hong, the rear military governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, received the rank of general of the expedition to the west and led an army of 100,000 to Xuantong to cooperate with Fan Weigang to resist the enemy. God seems to be laughing at these ministers and nobles who are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and for half a month, all the bad news came from Xuantong.
Princess Changning's son Ren Kun was the first to impeach Chen Ge for deceiving the monarch and concealing it, otherwise, how could the treasury be empty after the implementation of the new policy, and he demanded that the tea tax be levied under the old system. Then, the Marquis of Zhongshan responded, impeaching Li Tingzhong, the servant of the household department, to enrich his own pockets, and Princess Suiping impeached the household department for accepting bribes and embezzlement for the crime...... Chen Gelao, Li Ting, and Xing An wrote to refute it...... The emperor received the news that Xuantong had broken the city...... At that time, he threw the fold on the face of Princess Suiping's concubine: "When I was trying my best to keep the ancestral inheritance, you were arguing for petty profits here!" Then immediately issued an order, before the beginning of winter, confiscate all the fields of the princess's noble family, the news came, the princess was in an uproar, and several eldest princesses wore sackcloth and cried outside the east gate crying and shouting to go to the Fengxian Hall to cry the first emperor...... Yanjing is bustling with 1uan, and people's hearts are floating.
For a few days, Xu Lingyi would sit up and lean on the head of the bed after Eleven Niang fell asleep, and saw a little bit of transparency outside the window.
Where can Eleven Niang sleep?
Zhou Shizheng came to Xu Lingyi two days ago and accused Xu Lingyi of not coming forward at a critical time, and left angrily without waiting for Xu Lingyi to explain.
She just pretended to be asleep, wanting to give Xu Lingyi a space to think.
Seeing him stay awake all night long, she felt distressed again, and sat down with her clothes hugging the quilt: "Master Hou is still thinking about Lord Zhou's words? ”
"Nope!" Xu Lingyi smiled and hugged her in her arms, "We grew up together. He's just trying to provoke me. If he was really angry, he would just ignore me instead of running to the house and scolding me! ”
Eleven Niang leaned her head on his chest: "That's worrying about recovering the land?" ”
"At this time, who still has the heart to collect the field?" Xu Lingyi shook his head lightly, "If the war is uneven, no one will preside over this matter, as long as it doesn't start, there is room for relaxation." ”
Then it was only for the sake of the war of the declaration.
Eleven didn't want to mention it.
It's like everyone has a reverse scale, and the war is Xu Lingyi's reverse scale.
"Then what else is Hou Ye worried about?" She sat up and looked at him with a smile, "Master Hou, go to sleep quickly!" I can't sleep well either! ”
Xu Lingyi glanced at her deeply, responded with a smile "Okay", and lay down obediently.
Eleven Niang hugged his waist tightly.
Xu Lingyi did not respond to her enthusiastically as usual, but stroked her head again and again.
Eleven Niang snuggled on him quietly, waiting for him to fall asleep, but she kept hearing the sound of the little maid getting up and washing up outside the house, and Xu Lingyi didn't close her eyes.
It can't go on like this!
Eleven Niang instructed Amber to make ginseng tea for Xu Lingyi and personally brought it to the study.
Xu Lingyi was a little surprised, looked at her and smiled.
Eleven Niang has never been so diligent, she bowed her head to help Xu Lingyi clean up the bookcase, and instructed him: "Drink it quickly, it will taste when it is cold." ”
Xu Lingyi sat on the Taishi chair next to him and sipped ginseng tea.
Denghua hurriedly walked in: "Master Hou, Lord Yong is here!" ”
Both husband and wife were a bit surprised.
At this time, what is he here for? Or, it's a message to the emperor!
Xu Lingyi thought about it and said to Eleven Niang: "I'll come when I go!" ”
Eleven Niang sent Xu Lingyi out of the study door.
"Uncle doesn't have to be so polite to me." King Yong wore a royal blue cloud dragon pattern plain robe, a pair of phoenix eyes were as bright as stars, talking and laughing, and had already walked to the middle of the courtyard, "It's very troublesome to open the middle gate once, and the emperor knows about it, and he wants to reprimand me for being idle and running around all day long...... Just open the side door and let me come over! ”
Xu Lingyi smiled and stepped forward to salute King Yong.
King Yong didn't wait for him to bow down and helped his arm: "Uncle, there is something wrong, let's talk in the house!" ”
Xu Lingyi and King Yong went to the small study.
Eleven Niang has long avoided it.
King Yong also came often a few days ago, and he liked the drunkard chair in Xu Lingyi's study the most.
He sat down in his chair casually.
"Uncle, the emperor has issued an order for Ouyang Ming to take over Liu Hong as the general of the expedition to the west, and go to Xuantong on the same day. Let's bring Brother Jin back, I'll tell Ouyang, when the time comes, let Brother Jin help transport grain and grass or something, with military merits, he will never lose his share, and seal Uncle Hou or something, which is a piece of cake. ”
"Well, it's not big!" Xu Lingyi refused without thinking about it, "His mother will never let him go to Xuantong." I appreciate your kindness, and I can only ask the prince to help me plan when I have the opportunity in the future! ”
King Yong was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Uncle is afraid of defeat, right?" He said, laughing, "You can rest assured." This time, the emperor transferred 400,000 troops in Shandong and Shanxi, and there were only 80,000 or 90,000 Dazi, even if one person could drown those Dazi with a mouthful of spit! ”
