Chapter 157: In-laws, Out of Beijing, Profit and Loss
(Because it's a 5,000-word chapter, it's a bit late to upload.) )
Coincidentally, Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, was about to leave Beijing, and the general Gu Jiantang returned from Liangliao to the court. Today's early dynasty, not set up in the Baohe Palace, but the usual temple for the upper dynasty, outside the south gate, the first assistant Zhang Julu led the Zhang Dang, the Gu military general who dominated the military department, Wen Taiyi Hong Lingshu as the old worship of the Qing Party, was slandered by the local magnates of the Liyang Dynasty into two surnames of the family slave Sun Xiji, the old lady of Western Chu, led the old and new upstarts of the eight countries, the four major factions gathered together, and the distinction was clear.
Zhang Shoufu has always been not early or late to the court, and the three pillars of Wen Hong, who had been in the Qing Party after the Shangzhu State Lu Fei Qi, were older, and the general situation came late, but Sun Xiji, who had snow-white eyebrows, had always come to Tai'an Emperor in advance, in order to show that the old man was in the middle of the house, but he was habitually silent, this old man who had been called the Western Chu Shuangbi with the Spring and Autumn Martial Saint Ye Baikui is now in a high position in the dynasty, in charge of the province, has the right to refute the seal, and has the responsibility of admonishing, after entering the Shi Dynasty, he has never broken the knots, has never talked in general, and has not said it, and a word must have a target, and is deeply respected by the emperor's majesty, and it is rumored that he will soon be awarded the title of a university scholar。
Sun Xiji is full of crane hair, his skin is wrinkled like an old pine, his health is not very good, from time to time he has to be infected with wind and cold in winter and heat stroke in summer, and His Majesty even made an exception for this old minister, but now it seems that the spirit of the old man Sun is still very strong, and he is surrounded by a group of old people from the eight countries who are almost the age of sixties, and the second generation of "new heritage" does not mind standing with the other three parties to greet politely and say some harmless fun and fun.
Sun Xiji raised his head and saw two colleagues walking in the distance, the old lady's face was cold, when the civil and military officials noticed the two of them appearing, they immediately silenced and silenced, one of the two was wearing a one-grade embroidered crane civil official robe, purple hair and blue eyes, tall figure, strange appearance, and his steps were not hurried or slow. The other person wore a one-product embroidered unicorn military attache uniform, with a pair of narrow Danfeng eyes, and he always squinted when he looked at people and things, not only did he not give people a charming feeling, but he added a bit of gloom, his pace was firm, this person and the first assistant Zhang Julu got out of the car and walked together, about his steps were faster, at first the two walked side by side, and gradually exceeded Zhang Shoufu's position, but he still didn't seem to know what was wrong with this, and walked straight to Tai'anmen.
The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and only General Gu was so informal.
Gu Jiantang acted a little suspiciously, and his speech was quite polite, he did not talk to Gu Dang's descendants, but first greeted Sun Xiji, the left servant of the province, Sun Laofu smiled and nodded, the old man did not have a bad feeling towards this famous general of the Spring and Autumn Period, after all, it was Xu Rentu and Chen Baiyi, the righteous father and son, who destroyed Xichu.
Zhongshu Province Da Huang Men is the central inner court of the Son of Heaven close ministers, this Huang Men Lang is not eunuch Huang Men, the two can not be the same day, the official eunuch can be called a eunuch or a big mink temple, the right to see these eunuchs do not dare to take it lightly is true, only the internal history of the Yellow Gate is the closest to the emperor, not lost the eunuchs in the palace, and the internal history of the Yellow Gate Lang in Shilin most of them have an excellent reputation, to the eunuchs is the most confident, eager to catch the handle to clear the side of the monarch to show the true character of loyal ministers, so it is very feared by the eunuchs. Therefore, the identity of the Zhongshu Dahuangmen is pure and noble, and more than a dozen celebrities who go straight to the sky are popular, but they did not stand on their own and stood together against the four parties and scattered.
There is a huge disparity in the age of this group, the elders are as old as Sun Xiji, there is no shortage of them, the prime of life such as Gu Jiantang is the most, and the youngest are not yet in the age of standing, one of the latest to fill the big yellow gate is a foreigner, the reputation is not bad, thin and clear, the self-made Lanting Shuxuan is widely touted in the capital at the moment, but under normal circumstances, it is only according to the qualifications to learn, and it is far from qualified to enter Zhongshu Province as Huangmen Lang, the small yellow door is hanging, not to mention the big yellow door, but helplessly, this kid was somehow recommended by the cronies of the king of Beiliang, this is not some time ago Xu Dazhuguo has not yet arrived in Beijing, Jin Lanting entered the Zhongshu Province The edict was quickly whipped to the northwest。
This time is the first official early dynasty of Jin Huangmen, this kid was born in the local ordinary scholar family, in the capital can not talk about the roots, the eyes above the top of the Beijing officials do not want to see this ancestral tomb smoke of the lucky guy, the king of Beiliang can't afford to provoke ah, you kid is the protégé of the king of Beiliang? Okay, we don't trouble you, but I want to talk to you very happily, no way! What about you are the new big yellow door, how many big guys in the capital in this position are staring at it? As a result, a nobody from the field took a piece of big fat from the bowl, can you not be annoyed?
Jin Lanting, who had never dealt with Jingguan, looked a little cramped and uneasy, standing alone in the corner, stared at by the cold eyes around him, and sweating. When he first entered the capital, his hesitation and ambition were swept away, and a casual cavalry attendant in the nearby Menxia Province sneered in a not weak voice: "People say that the northwest barbarian is crowned by the monkey." I didn't believe it before, but now it seems that it is!"
Soon, several young and middle-aged officials such as the living room and the gleaners who were colleagues in the province echoed and smiled and repeated the word "sure enough", which made the isolated Jin Lanting eager to dig a hole in the ground and drill down, Jin Lanting really felt the xenophobia of the Beijing officials, he was physically weak, and his character was not resolute, and he suffered such unexpected grievances in the past, and his eyes were immediately red, and there were faint signs of tears, which caused some of the Beijing officials who were best at bullying to sneer and ridicule.
At this time, Shoufu Zhang Julu looked at it from afar, saw this scene, frowned slightly, and stopped, Gu Jiantang originally intended to let Zhang Shoufu enter the imperial city first, but saw Shoufu turn around and walk away, General Gu was not polite, and took the lead in entering the gate, the generals of the Gu Department naturally followed the fish, Sun Xiji and the two major worshippers of the Qingdang also followed, and the Zhang Party in the middle of the court was the strongest, the largest number of people, Shoufu did not enter the city gate, of course, he did not dare to act rashly, so he had to stop in place, looked at Shoufu together, looked at each other, and saw the doubts in the eyes of the other party。
Zhang Julu, who is very official, came to the side of the dejected Jin Lanting, and said with a smile: "Jin Huangmen, a few days ago, I was cheeky and deliberately asked for a few knives from Huan Sacrifice Wine Lan Ting, that old guy was so distressed that he cut his meat, and he went back to the house to try it, only to know why the old man Huan regarded it as the meat of his heart, he was really as light as a white cicada's wings, and he didn't hear it. If you don't mind, I'll have to ask you, the supervisor of Lan Tingxuan, for a few more knives. ”
Jin Lanting raised his head with a look of disbelief, and he didn't dare to speak. Those officials who were originally waiting to see a good show slowly dispersed, and they no longer dared to laugh at this out-of-town guy who was lucky enough to steal a high position on the surface.
Zhang Shoufu didn't care either, patted Jin Lanting on the shoulder, and said indifferently as he passed by: "A gentleman can not form a party and never engage in private business." Laugh today and let people laugh, you might as well see who laughs at whom in another ten years. ”
Jin Lanting's legs were weak, and he was almost about to kneel for that back.
Death for a confidant!
The ancestors of this dynasty set the belt system, from the Son of Heaven to the princes, princes, ministers and more than three grades of jade belt, the amount of jade inlaid with the belt and the clear law stipulates, when the dynasty of the great pillar of the country Xu Xiao because of outstanding military achievements, the emperor gave the white jade belt inlaid with fifteen jade, the general Gu Jiantang thirteen jade. To this day, there are very few royal belts, Chen Zhibao, who is publicly respected by the Son of Heaven, has been given a purple belt inlaid with jade twelve, after the old Shoufu died of illness, Zhang Julu, who has been promoted to more than ten levels in two years, has been given four purple belts one after another, inlaid with gold, and the rest of the inlaid jade number is six, ten, thirteen, increasing in turn, the inlay material of the court dress belt of this dynasty is the most respectful jade, followed by gold, silver, copper and iron, unless the emperor gives it, otherwise it can not surpass the official title.
The specifications of the jade belt can not cross the thunder pool, but the gentleman is good jade is the ancient style, the imperial court does not prohibit the hanging jade pendant on the waist, Jin Lanting followed the civil and military officials into the city gate, all the way, the jade pendant knocked, dingdong, a clear and ethereal sound.
Jin Lanting's heart swayed.
This is the pivotal place of the entire Liyang Dynasty.
————
If there is any major event during this time, compared to Lu Daolin's resignation from the post of the right sacrificial wine of the Guozi Supervisor and the approval of the Son of Heaven, the nobody's entry into Zhongshu Province is insignificant, and the case of the indiscriminate killing of the Shizi by the Prince of Beiliang on Jiangnan Road immediately set off an uproar in the capital where the ears and eyes are the most well-informed, and there are 30,000 people in the Guozi Eunuch, the crowd is passionate, and the noise is dusty, even if he knows that the king with a different surname is still staying in the capital, he still can't resist the discussion of the students who are the future pillars of the dynasty. The earliest scale of the Guozijian in Tai'an City was very small, and the limited clan, The children and grandchildren of the foreign relatives and the meritorious ministers of the three grades or more are enrolled, and the emperor has expanded, adding five halls, six halls and eighteen floors, and so on until the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, dominate the world, the Guozijian has completely opened the door, and has accommodated 30,000 students so far, the Guozijian building stretches for ten miles, it is magnificent, the grand occasion is unprecedented, the Guozijian sets up the left and right two sacrificial wines, similar to the Shangyin School Palace, these years the Tai Bachelor such as the carp crossing the river poured into the Guozijian, self-formed Shilin, hidden and the majestic atmosphere of the Xue Palace.
Lu Daolin, the head of the Lu family in Yangzhou, as the right sacrificial wine, his status is only under the left sacrificial wine Huan Wen, who was once Zhang Shoufu's fellow disciples, this time he was affected by the vicious behavior of his in-laws' children on Jiangnan Road, and his reputation was damaged, and he thought that he could no longer set an example for the 30,000 students of Guozijian, and took the initiative to resign from the right sacrificial wine. Lu Daolin has been closed these days, which makes people feel that the Lu sacrifice wine that capsized in the gutter this time is really disheartened. Lu Daolin sat behind the bookcase, holding a book of saints, his expression was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest depression, the big butler walked quickly, and when he arrived at the door, he slowed down, bowed down and said, "Master, the Great Pillar Kingdom is visiting." ”
Unexpectedly, Lu Daolin thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Open the middle door!"
The chief butler said with a strange face: "Master Qiqi, Da Zhuguo said that it was troublesome to open the middle door, so he walked in directly through the side door, and he was here immediately." ”
Lu Daolin shook his head with a smile, a little helpless, got up and straightened his clothes, and only stepped out of the threshold of the study as soon as he stepped out of the threshold of the study, he saw a hunchbacked guy coming to the inner corridor, and he was coldly hugged by the old man's neck, and said with a smile with the meaning of Xingshi's questioning: "In-laws, in-laws, you are not authentic, the Mawei Post House is only a few feet away from here, what's the matter, if I can't come to see you, you won't sell your face to me?
One is the powerful King of Beiliang, and the other is the extremely noble former prince of the country who supervised the sacrificial wine, but after the two parents' families met, the latter was almost out of breath with his neck around his neck, but fortunately, the big housekeeper was his own family who had served Lu Fu all his life, and he never squinted.
Lu Daolin, who had an excellent reputation in Shilin in the north and south and was recognized as having a deep ancient style, had to tilt his neck and said helplessly: "Dazhuguo, this, what kind of system is this." ”
Xu Xiao let go of his hand and walked into the study with his hands in his hands, and Lu Daolin motioned to the big housekeeper to close the door.
Only the pair of in-laws who have attracted the attention of the world are left in the study.
Xu Xiao sat on the chair with a big grin and asked with a smile: "I have no official all of a sudden, is my heart empty?"
Lu Daolin smiled: "It's okay." ”
Xu Xiao waved his hand and said straight forward: "Don't bend around with you, you say, Shangshu Province 6, where do you want to go, explain it in advance, of course, you don't have to think about it, Gu Jiantang's bastard has always been regarded as his mother-in-law in his own bed, and he will be in a hurry with outsiders wherever they go." The Ministry of Officials, it's also difficult, Zhang Biyan's iron turf is almost not considered oil and salt, and as for the Criminal Department, it's not appropriate for you to go. Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Households, Ministry of Labor, in-laws, you pick one yourself. Hey, if you want me to leave the capital early, you have to give some capital. ”
Although Lu Daolin has long had this intention, since the Guozijian can't stay still, and Huan Wen has been fighting for so many years, it is better to find another way, but no matter how you say it in the past, the Guozijian sacrificial wine is a first-class top noble, when the two provinces under the Zhongshu Gate do not set up a provincial order, even the highly respected Sun Xiji is just the left servant of the door, and the two sacrificial wines have become the top position of the Qingliu celebrities, having said that, since Lu Daolin has only lost Huan Wen slightly in the Guozijian over the years, he has naturally cultivated many henchmen, and he can be regarded as a protégé peach and plum all over the world, the only regret is that if he goes to the sixth, I am afraid that he will not be able to hope for the title of the palace scholar in this life, and Lu Daolin is open-minded againIn the end, it is difficult to escape the celebrity and gentleman's trap, but this time he takes a step back, but it will not be sad, and His Majesty the Emperor also hinted that he should be in charge of a department, Lu Daolin thinks that the etiquette department of Qingshui Yamen is the most likely, and he has a little regret, but when he received a letter from his brother Lu Baijie, saying that he wanted to fight for the military department, Lu Daolin was floating at that time, and he was happy. In this way, it is the most timely to go to the Ministry of Rites, otherwise it will touch the bottom line of the other three major families in Luzhou, Lu Daolin does not want to make trouble at this time, anyway, as long as his younger brother Lu Baijie is willing to come out, everything is decided!
There was no one around, and he no longer called Xu Xiao a great pillar country, and after shouting his in-laws, Lu Daolin smiled and said implicitly: "Liu Shangshu is old and unwell, and he mentioned to His Majesty a few years ago that he wanted to return home. ”
Xu Xiao pursed his lips and said bluntly: "That's it." ”
Lu Daolin hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "It's okay if the in-laws don't come forward in this matter. ”
Xu Xiao snorted, stretched out his hand and pointed at Lu Daolin's face, and scolded mercilessly: "You pedantic in-laws, really think that the six books are in your pocket? If I don't come forward, believe it or not, Zhang Biyan will be able to press you to a broken place and not be able to raise your head?"
Lu Daolin was shocked.
Xu Xiao shook his head and smiled: "My in-laws, you have read a lot of sage books, and you know a lot of big truths, but this official is not something that can be done with a thin face." Ugly words ahead, if you still treat the Ministry of Rites Shangshu as the country's priest wine, it won't be long before you have to roll up and get out. ”
Lu Daolin sighed and said, "Taught." ”
Xu Xiao waved his hand, smiled, squinted and said, "Feng Nian is messing around on Jiangnan Road, making his in-laws lose the foundation of the country, are you annoyed?"
Lu Daolin said: "It's hypocritical to say that you are not annoyed, but to be honest, it is no wonder that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is angry, if his family does not help his family, no matter how big the family business is, it will be lost." Lu Daolin still understands this truth that all rural villagers understand. ”
Lu Daolin then said with guilt on his face: "I have already written to Xuan Lang, and I can't help him in the future!"
Xu Xiao opened his eyes at this time, got up and said slowly: "In-laws, these words are like what a family says." ”
Lu Daolin was relieved, looking at Xu Xiao's momentum, as if he was about to sit down and leave, and said in surprise: "Is this going to go?"
Xu Xiao said angrily: "If you don't leave, will you still have an official tone, let's go, go back to Beiliang." ”
Lu Daolin was speechless.
Xu Xiao laughed softly when he walked out of the study: "Don't worry about Your Majesty's suspicion of you and me, the law is nothing more than human affection, since it is a family of relatives, you have to have the practice of your family, and it is not as good as being an outsider's enemy, so that people with a heart can't understand it, and if you don't understand it, you will think about it, and it's easy to have an accident if you think about it, right?"
Lu Daolin, who had a haze in his heart, was completely relieved at this time.
The king of Beiliang came and went in a hurry, and Lu Daolin didn't know that there was a princess of Sui Zhu who was sitting in the carriage outside the mansion with a private visit.
After Xu Xiao got into the carriage, Her Royal Highness the princess tugged at his cuffs and said with a sad face: "Uncle Xu, can you not leave Beijing? Xiaoya is so bored." ”
Xu Xiao smiled: "There's no way, Uncle is working hard, or I'll let Feng come to the capital to play with you?"
Princess Sui Zhu's eyes rolled.
Xu Xiao rubbed her head and said, "Look at it, there is still a mustard in my heart, yes, Uncle can only come up with a killer idea, take you to eat a few big bowls of almond tofu, and when the time comes, Uncle Ke will not be happy to regenerate the spirit of the phoenix year." ”
Her Royal Highness the princess shook the cuffs of Da Zhuguo coquettishly, snorted twice, and said with a bright smile: "Okay, okay, for Uncle Xu's sake, I don't have the same knowledge as that guy!"
On this day, I ate a bowl of almond tofu with Princess Sui Zhu, and it is recorded in the history books that this is the last time Xu Xiao, the king of Beiliang, entered and left Beijing.
After the king of Beiliang, who was still dressed as a rich man, left the city, he stepped out of the carriage, put his hands in his sleeves, and looked at the towering city.
Standing next to him was the black-clothed sick tiger Yang Tai Sui.
Xu Xiao said with emotion: "Yang Bald Donkey, if you say goodbye today, you don't think we will see each other in our lives, right?"
The old monk Mu Ne nodded.
Xu Xiao said with a smile: "Whoever dies later, remember to go to the grave to drink during Qingming." ”
Yang Taisui said calmly: "The poor monk is very poor and can't afford to buy good wine, so he must die first and earn it." ”
Xu Xiao stretched out his hand and touched the bald head of the national teacher, and said, "You, you don't even want to suffer a small loss in your life, and being a brother with you is a loss!"
The two who once talked and laughed and overturned the eight countries said goodbye.
The black-clothed old monk stopped in place, watched the carriage drift away, touched his bald head, and then lowered his head and folded his hands.
The only person in the world who can make this old monk bow his head willingly is Beiliang Xu Xiao alone!My QT room has been opened!The official QT room number of the princes of the Beacon Fire Opera [1655]
