If you want to go to the capital to take up a post, you must first hand over the military power of Jingzhou, and then you will do government affairs.

Yuan Rujiang was curious about who Jingzhou's military power Niangniang would let take over? Who will be the next Jingzhou assassin?

"You said that the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou, who will Niangniang let take over? In fact, I am personally more optimistic about Mingxian's kid, but Mingxian is now fighting in Liaodong and the grassland, presumably it is impossible for the imperial court to recall him, and it is taboo to change him before the battle. ”

"Don't talk about you, my lord, even my subordinates are curious about who the imperial court will send to take over Jingzhou."

The staff may still have some speculation about the personnel in Jingzhou and the officials of the imperial court, but for the queen of the current dynasty, he can't figure out her pulse at all, and her style of dealing with people is incomprehensible.

Yuan Rujiang will arrange the handover of official affairs, and since he has made a decision, he will let the message be sent to the back house, so that the family will be ready, and when he receives the will, the whole family will enter Beijing together.

The Yuan family has lived in Jingzhou for decades, and the family industry and personal private property are basically purchased in Jingzhou, and it still takes time to deal with these industries.

The third room of the Yuan family got the news, and Yuan Rongcheng asked the little maid to send all the land deeds of his private property to the backyard.

Li Yuzhu took a pile of land deeds from the little maid's hand and asked, "What about your lord?" Why didn't he come back, but let you hand it over? ”

The little maid bowed his head and replied: "The master will go out to do something, and he will come back in the afternoon. ”

Li Yuzhu glanced at her personal maid Xia Zhi, the little maid took out a purse and stuffed it into the hand of the little maid, and sent him out.

When the maid Xiaohe and the others left, they smiled, happy for Li Yuzhu in their hearts, "Miss, the third master is full of you, and he is about to return to the capital, he even handed over his private property to you, but how much he trusts you, this really responds to the sentence that husband and wife are one, and share honor and disgrace." ”

Li Yuzhu listened to the maid's words, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, it could be seen that her heart had been filled with honey, and even the air around her had a sweet taste. A pile of title deeds in hand, the weight of which is self-evident.

"Xiaohe, what do you think we should do with these industries?"

Xiaohe looked at the young lady who was immersed in happiness, thought for a while and said: "The slave doesn't understand this, miss, you better wait for the third master to come back and discuss with the third master, if it is sold, it will definitely not be sold for a good price in a short time." ”

Li Yuzhu counted the number of land deeds, thought for a while, and bowed: "You are right, when the husband comes back, I have to ask his opinion, there must be a decision on whether to sell or keep these properties." ”

When Yuan Rongcheng came back, it was already the time to hold the lamp.

Li Yuzhu waited for him to wash, handed him the warm handkerchief, and said with concern: "Why is my husband busy when he is out today until this hour to come back?" ”

Yuan Rongcheng took the handkerchief and paused slightly, then naturally wiped his face, wiped his hands and said with a smile: "I didn't do anything today, I just went to say goodbye to Brother Ming in advance, and I thought about getting busy in the next few days, and I may not have time to get together with them." But I didn't want Brother Ming to have plans to leave Jingzhou in the near future, so we couldn't help but chat for a while. ”

Li Yuzhu was shocked when she heard this, "You Haiming is also preparing to leave Jingzhou?" Where are they going? ”

"I heard that he defected to his relatives, and his relatives also happened to be in the capital, so we discussed it, and he and his family will follow our team at that time, also for the sake of safety." Yuan Rongcheng put the handkerchief in the basin, then took Li Yuzhu's hand, and the two walked to the table and sat down.

Xiaohe put the lotus root bone broth in front of the two of them, and Li Yuzhu pushed one of the bowls in front of Yuan Rongcheng, and said gently: "Husband has been busy outside for a day, he should be hungry, drink some soup first to warm his stomach." ”

Yuan Rongcheng's eyes showed helplessness, "I found that since you married in Jingzhou, you seem to have fallen in love with stewed lotus root bone broth, and how did you develop the habit of drinking soup before meals?" ”

Li Yuzhu spooned a little soup with a spoon, tasted it, and explained with a smile: "Wouldn't it be a waste if you don't eat the lotus root that Jingzhou is rich in? And the soup is glutinous with this old lotus root stew, and the soup is also sweet, don't you think it's very delicious? ”

As she spoke, she pointed to the soup bowl again: "As for the habit of drinking soup before meals, it is probably developed in Lingnan, I think drinking a few sips of hot soup before meals to warm the stomach first, it is good for the stomach and the body." Especially in winter, it is very comfortable to drink hot soup in cold weather. ”

Yuan Rongcheng nodded: "If you like to eat, eat more, when you return to the capital, it will be difficult to eat Jingzhou's lotus root." ”

Lotus root may be a favorite for Li Yuzhu, but he has long been tired of eating it since he was a snack, and he really didn't think it was delicious.

Li Yuzhu took a small bite of lotus root, the powder was glutinous, it was really delicious, "I asked my subordinates to make a lot of lotus root powder, and when I returned to the capital to bring it back to the palace, my grandmother likes to eat lotus root powder." ”

Yuan Rongcheng had no opinion on this, but just told her: "Since it is for the queen's mother, you have to be careful on the way, don't let someone with a heart take advantage of the loophole." ”

"I know, I'll take notice."

Tonight's meal was specially prepared by her subordinates, Li Yuzhu saw that his appetite was open, her eyes rolled, and she asked casually: "You Haiming went to the capital to join his relatives this time, is it their family together?" ”

"Well, the relocation of the family must be a family going to the capital." Yuan Rongcheng ate a piece of crispy pork ribs and praised: "These ribs are delicious, how did you come up with the idea of making this kind of meat full of bones so delicious?" ”

"Before I got married, I asked the cook to go to my grandmother's small kitchen for two months to learn these dishes. If you like to eat, eat more. Li Yuzhu used chopsticks to help him clip a few pieces.

"I heard that Miss You has been engaged in Jingzhou, and she is not young, so at this time the family will move to the capital, so what should Miss You do?"

Speaking of this, Yuan Rongcheng sighed, and there was a faint anger in his tone, "The world pays attention to marriage, the You family has fallen down, and there is already a gap between the Wei family, plus the imperial court is preparing to reopen the imperial examination this year, and the son of the Wei family is preparing to end this year, and he is very sure, so he naturally dislikes the identity of Miss You and does not match them." Just two days ago, the Wei family had already divorced from Miss You. ”

Li Yuzhu was extremely surprised when he heard this: "You Gongzi quit his family at this time, and he is not afraid of the world saying that he is treacherous, dislikes the poor and loves the rich, and such a reputation can affect his imperial examination at that time." ”

Yuan Rongcheng put down the dishes and chopsticks and sighed: "The matter of retiring from relatives was proposed by Miss You. ”

“.” Li Yuzhu was shocked, her mind was blank for a moment, she never thought that it would be the girl from the You family who proposed to withdraw from her family, she was so open-minded?

Yuan Rongcheng took a sip of tea and rinsed his mouth, wiped his mouth clean, and instructed: "Next time you see Miss You, you can comfort and comfort her more." ”

The matter of retiring from relatives should be sad for any girl's family.

“.” Li Yuzhu glanced at him speechlessly and asked, "You don't eat it?" ”

"If you don't have an appetite, you can eat." As he spoke, Yuan Rongcheng really stood up, walked to the side and sat down on the couch.

Immediately, a maid brought the tea that had been brewed in advance.

Li Yuzhu silently finished the rice in the bowl and asked the maid to remove the dishes and chopsticks.

She sat at the other end of the couch and drank tea slowly, and for a moment neither of them spoke.

Li Yuzhu didn't like this kind of atmosphere very much, she didn't like her husband to care about other girls, and she hated that other girls could affect his mood.

Others say that she is jealous, or that she doesn't know the general situation, anyway, she is in a very bad mood at the moment.

It's funny to say, in the morning, the maid said that the third master was full of her, and even her private property could be handed over to her without reservation.

As a result, the slap in the face came so quickly at night, and he went out for another girl during the day, and even the mood of going home for dinner could be affected by the girl.

For a while, Li Yuzhu felt mixed in her heart, sour and astringent, and very uncomfortable. In front of Yuan Rongcheng, she didn't dare to show it, she was even more afraid that it would affect the relationship between their husband and wife.

——

didn't let Yuan Rujiang wait long, about half a month later, the arrival of Ouyang Chuansheng, the guard of Guiyang County, finally revealed the mystery in his heart.

Xia Jing promoted Ouyang Chuansheng, the county guard of Guiyang, and was directly promoted from the fourth-grade county guard to the assassin of the third grade.

Yuan Rujiang warmly invited Ouyang Chuansheng into the lobby, sat down in the main and guest seats, and waited for the maid to serve tea, "Congratulations, Lord Ouyang!" ”

Ouyang Chuansheng didn't dare to put on a score in front of Yuan Rujiang, and as soon as he heard his words, he immediately stood up and said: "Tongxi and Tongxi, the lower officials came here this time, firstly, to hand over the work with the adults, and secondly, to congratulate the lords on their promotion." ”

Entering the Sixth Ministry is equivalent to stepping into the cabinet with one foot, and it can be said that as long as you don't die, your official position in this life will only go to the top, a totalitarian minister.

The ultimate dream of being a civil servant!

Yuan Rujiang shook his head with a smile, and said helplessly: "Entering the household department, I am both happy and worried, maybe Lord Ouyang does not understand the difficulties of entering the household department, although now it is said that the internal strife and external troubles have been calmed down, but the entire imperial court has a lot of money and food, and the treasury is in deficit every year." And Dayu's elite is still on the march, burning money and food every day! ”

These things are not secrets, Ouyang Chuansheng just smiled and nodded when he heard this, he didn't have any good suggestions, besides, the adult sitting on it probably didn't want him to make suggestions.

Sure enough, then I heard Yuan Rujiang say: "Lord Ouyang, we have received the favor of our mother, and we will not be able to repay it in the future, we can only work more hard for the court, are you right?" ”

"Yes, my lord is right!"

"It's good that you can think like this, as a local official, you can't forget your original intention. The most important thing for the local government is the tax, and Jingzhou has always been adhering to the dedication and dedication to the country. I hope that when you take office, you will continue this fine tradition. ”

Yuan Rujiang said with great seriousness.

The corners of Ouyang Chuansheng's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he said a thousand things and ten thousand, Yuan Rujiang was only afraid that he would have crooked thoughts on taxation!

However, his worries were in vain, the official to the third grade, the local feudal official, how could he use his life to fight for a little profit?

In this position, money is dispensable for him, he has a lot of net worth, and power is what he is pursuing.

Of course, it is true that he works for the court with his heart, and he disdains corruption and perversion of the law.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured that Jingzhou's taxes will never be in arrears during my tenure, and it is most active to absolutely hand them over to the state treasury."

Both of them were promoted, there was no interest in each other, they were relatively happy to get along and talk, and the next handover work was also carried out smoothly.

As soon as the work of the yamen was handed over, Yuan Rujiang was idle, and the next time was to wait for the military generals appointed by the imperial court to hand over the military power, and he could take his family into Beijing.

In the days when he was waiting for the handover of military power, Yuan Rujiang went to the backyard to inquire about the disposal of the family's property.

The big house and the second room industry have basically been dealt with, and when asked about the third room, Yuan Rongcheng looked at Li Yuzhu.

Li Yuzhu looked up and found that everyone was looking at her, her face was slightly red: "Our three-room property is hanging in the tooth shop, but the buyers I have met in the past few days have pressed the price very low, so I thought that since this is the case, I will not be in a hurry to make a move, and there will be a general manager here who is in charge of Jingzhou, and the industry will be slowly sold in the future." ”

The second eldest Yuan Chengye listened to her words and looked at his wife, "According to what my younger brother and sister said, our industry is too fast, and the price is too low?" ”

The second young lady glanced at him, "Since you say so, the industry we sold will still come back, and we will do it later?" ”

Yuan Chengye listened to her words, and his face darkened: "How can the master be such a person who has no faith in his words, your crooked idea will not ruin the reputation of the master!" ”

The second young lady noticed her father-in-law's face, snorted coldly, and did not say anything more sarcastic.

On the second day, the will of the capital arrived, and everyone in the Yuan Mansion went to the lobby of the front yard to receive the order.

The father-in-law read out the will of Yuan Rujiang to be promoted to the head of the household department, and after receiving the decree, he noticed that the entourage behind the father-in-law was still holding a will in his hand.

Yuan Rujiang was shocked: "Father-in-law, this is"

The father-in-law smiled and picked up another copy of Minghuang's will, "Yuan Mansion is overjoyed!" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Rujiang was confused, two wills?

The father-in-law didn't let the Yuan family doubt for long, and unfolded the holy decree without any delay: "The Yuan family Rongcheng received the decree!" ”

"Me?" Yuan Rongcheng pointed at himself, his face full of disbelief.

Yuan Rujiang came back to his senses and stretched out his foot to kick him, "Don't kneel down yet!" ”

With that, he took the lead and knelt down again.

The general meaning of the edict is that Yuan Rong has made a lot of contributions to the court to quell the rebellion, and he has not been rewarded before, and the court has not forgotten his merits, so he was named the chief soldier of the Jingzhou Guard, and the official is from the fourth grade.

Dayu military and political separation, in the future, the history of the assassin is in charge of the affairs of a state, and the military power will not be handed over to the history of the assassination.

The Jingzhou Weisu is under the jurisdiction of the governor of the Gyeonggi Daying, which is directly controlled by the emperor, so as to avoid the military and political affairs of each state capital in their hands, and they are no different from the former princes and kings.

Yuan Rujiang looked at the third son who was still stunned after receiving the holy decree with a complicated expression, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and suddenly realized that the reason why the emperor issued such a holy decree was unexpected and reasonable.

The soldiers and horses in Jingzhou were brought out by him, and if anyone took over, the run-in period would be greatly extended.

However, the original soldiers and horses in Jingzhou were handed over to Yuan Rongcheng, and his son took over, and the generals in the barracks were definitely convinced, and there would be no resistance.

With such an arrangement, the transfer of military power can be imagined to be smooth and silky. In the next few years, maybe the imperial court will train other capable generals from the army, and then hand over the past, thinking that the army can be very smoothly and truly controlled by the imperial court.

Yuan Rujiang thought that such an arrangement would not be what the emperor thought of, it must have been the idea that the queen came up with.

Waiting to send away the father-in-law who passed the decree, Yuan Rongye patted Yuan Rongcheng on the shoulder: "Third brother, your industry has not been shot, have you already gotten the rumor, knowing that you will stay in Jingzhou to take over the army?" ”

Yuan Rongcheng came back to his senses in a daze, looked at the Ming Huang Holy Decree in his hand, and shook the hand on his shoulder down, "Second brother, you think too much!" ”

Yuan Rongye's hand trembled and he didn't care, and turned to look at Li Yuzhu: "The third brother didn't get the news in advance, could it be that the queen handed the news to the third brother and sister?" ”

Li Yuzhu shook her head: "Second brother thinks too much, I didn't know that there would be such an arrangement." ”

Today, the decree came so suddenly, that her mood went up and down, up and down, and she almost had a heart attack.

The husband doesn't have to follow his father-in-law into Beijing, so he doesn't have to go with the You family?

It's just that I can't go back to Beijing to reunite with my family, and I'm a little disappointed! (End of chapter)
