Chapter 147: Guessing the Divine Will
It is impossible for Qu Wenhai to have no worries in his heart, but whenever this kind of matter involves the prince, especially if the prince is still in power, it is not good for them to point fingers at will.
As soon as he went out with his fold, he saw the little guy sent by Qu Qingyan, who was anxiously looking around outside the door.
"Why are you so flustered?"
Qianshan saw Qu Wenhai hurriedly coming up, and whispered: "Old lady, the fourth young master wants to ask when you will return home tonight, and the fourth young master seems to have something important to discuss with you." ”
What important things can Qu Qingyan have there?
Is it as urgent as the fold in his hand?
Qu Wenhai sighed in his heart: "I'll go home now, you let Qingwen Qingyan go back early, and use dinner in the front hall." ”
Qu Qingyan received Qianshan's reply, so he put it away and waited for the hour to hurry back to his house as soon as the time came.
On the carriage, Qu Qingwen looked at her like she wanted to speak and stopped, which made Qu Qingyan couldn't help but have a headache.
"Big brother, today someone came to summon the three of us to go to the Zhan Mansion on an errand to give a lecture to His Royal Highness the Prince."
There is a prince who has been watching from the sidelines, and Qu Wenhai's position as a cabinet minister has not been able to sit firmly, why does she have to stay in Beijing?
Although it is good to be admitted to the Hanlin Academy, there are also a large number of people in the Hanlin Academy who are over forty years old and still have no hope of promotion.
"It's not much use for the fourth brother to tell me this, the eldest brother thought about it carefully in the afternoon, the fourth brother has always been very assertive, you have rarely listened to my grandfather's words, no matter how much the eldest brother persuades you, it is not very useful, how good the fourth brother thinks, then so be it."
What is the ...... Qu Qingyan looked at him with some tears and laughter, this is a little white flower who has to take the bitter little white flower route again.
It's true that she is very assertive, but when does she stop listening to him and Qu Wenhai, she has always been a typical representative of listening to people's persuasion to eat well.
The carriage stopped at the side door, and the two brothers went back to their rooms to change their regular clothes when they entered the door one after the other, and since she won the champion and entered the Hanlin Academy, her monthly share in the house and the fashionable robes throughout the year were all the same as Qu Qingwen.
Even the furniture in her room has been changed from sour branch wood to huanghuali.
Who says it's bad to be an official?
Shinong industry and commerce, everyone sharpened their heads and drilled around the camp, not just for an official position.
When you go out, someone calls for an official master, how can this dignity be enjoyed by the family of a businessman.
Even the imperial businessman has to rely on others to look at his face, and he is fragile and fragile when he is prosperous.
Qu Qingyan was served by the two grandmothers, while changing clothes, thinking about these haves and nots, thinking that when she first came here, she still wanted to rely on the little fur she knew back then to break out of her own world in this dynasty, and she couldn't help laughing.
At that time, she really didn't know the height of the sky, and she thought too highly of herself and took others for fools.
"I heard that Luo Min, a scholar from Zuochunfang University in Zhan Shifu, just went to Hanlin Academy to ask for someone?"
As soon as Qu Qingyan entered the door, he saw Qu Wenhai and Qu Qingwen getting together, and he didn't know what he was talking about, and when he saw her enter the door, he asked such a sentence.
"Yes, Lord Luo came to Dr. Yuan to ask for someone to be asked to come back by Gu Ruohong on the grounds that he did not receive the dispatch documents from the Ministry of Officials, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already moved the idea of letting the three of us go to Zhan Shifu, I am afraid that the documents will be sent down in a short time."
There were only three of them at a round table, and Qu Qingyan sat down between the two of them, and then someone began to set the meal.
Qu Wenhai was preoccupied, Qu Qing lowered his head and was silent, no one in the hall made a sound, only occasionally there was a slight sound of tableware colliding.
Qu Qingyan pondered repeatedly about how to truly express his thoughts later, so that Qu Wenhai and Qu Qingwen would not misunderstand again.
The dinner was dull, and when he arrived in Beiwangzhai, someone served fragrant tea, and Qu Wenhai couldn't help leaning back on the chair and sighing.
"Have you all heard about King Yu's excerpt?"
It's not just that I heard that the two have a dispute.
Qu Qingwen hummed a little awkwardly, but Qu Qingyan couldn't help but ask: "Grandfather, does Your Majesty really want to refute this excerpt?" ”
She asked the key point in a word, and Qu Wenhai nodded sadly: "Your Majesty asked us to vote for a result to be handed over tomorrow, I discussed with several other adults in the cabinet for an afternoon and couldn't reach a conclusion, Lord Qian ......"
Qu Wenhai threw the fold onto the table, and the suffocating breath in his heart couldn't restrain the upsurge.
"Lord Qian asked me to vote for a result at will, and I will hand it in tomorrow."
The arrival of Zhu Jinyu on the day of the warm house made Qian Shuben completely wary of him, thinking that when he was still in the ministry, the relationship between the two of them was superior-subordinate, Qian Shuben suppressed him because of his official position, and he was willing to let him do everything.
Now he has been recommended by several people to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he can be equal to him in terms of rank and authority, which has aroused his vigilance.
Qu Wenhai thought of Qian Shuben's mention of his previous work as a judge in Kaifeng, and he had some backbones in his heart.
The position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was pushed up by the three of them, and they never asked him if he was willing, and after pushing him up with one hand, he reflexively began to suppress and warn, do you really feel that he is as weak as a sheep and easy to bully?
When Qu Qingyan saw Qu Wenhai's complexion, he knew that today's incident must not be as light as he said.
This fold is known to anyone with a discerning eye, and Qian Shuben asked Qu Wenhai to play it by name, for fear that he would use Emperor Jing's hand to beat his mind.
"How is Grandfather ready?"
"I haven't figured it out yet."
The whole afternoon was messy and noisy, and he couldn't calm down and figure out the details.
He hadn't even had time to think about whether Emperor Jing's move was aimed at the northwest or King Yu in the northwest.
I can't touch Emperor Jing's mind, so how can he make it.
"Grandfather, what do you think of the folk customs in the northwest?"
"Uncivilized."
"That's been the case for generations?"
"What do you mean?"
Qu Wenhai's heart moved, and he suddenly understood what Qu Qingyan meant.
Qu Qingyan didn't sell Guan Zi either, frowning and shaking his thoughts outward: "Grandfather, it stands to reason that we, as courtiers, are accusing to deal with affairs and do our own things well, so as to ensure that my Ming Dynasty will not fade and pass it on, right?" ”
It has to be right!
Qu Wenhai nodded without thinking about it, and motioned for her to continue.
"But this is what we should do as courtiers, so what about Your Majesty, what should Your Majesty do as the Son of Heaven?"
Qu Wenhai and Qu Qingwen's bodies trembled, it was not that they didn't understand such a question, but they didn't dare to think about it.
They are different from Qu Qingyan, they are natives of this era, and the concept of a king greater than heaven has long been ingrained.
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, this country is all under his control, and all major and small matters should be implemented after Your Majesty's decision. We always say that the divine will is unpredictable, why is it unpredictable? It's not because we want to do what we like. ”
