224: One step too late
The words of the holy decree are mild, but it is not difficult to taste the implication of the words, and it can be summed up as follows: Duanwang Jingchun not only failed to solve the problem of grain fraud, but questioned Jingyuan, who had made remarkable achievements in disaster relief. If you don't have enough ability, don't make a mess there, pack up and go back to Beijing.
Although there were no embarrassing words, the immediate recall to Kyoto undoubtedly made Jingchun very faceless.
Jing Chun was annoyed in his heart, he knew that this was the case, it was better not to take the emperor's army. At that time, I thought that my reputation was excellent, and I could test it a little, but I didn't expect it to overturn.
Jing Yuan was sent later, and he was able to continue to provide disaster relief, but he returned to the capital. What did the Manchu civil and military society think? Doesn't this just prove that the emperor was right in choosing Jingyuan for disaster relief in the first place?
It's just a small decision-making mistake that can lead to such serious consequences.
Jing Chun's mind spun quickly, and he decided to stop the loss in time.
He immediately wrote a letter to the emperor, with sincerity and sincerity. The letter said that when he saw Jing Yuan doing things, he deeply felt that he was bold and resolute, and he deeply understood his own shortcomings, and was determined to keep up with King Rui, take the benefit of the people as his own responsibility, and re-devote himself to disaster relief work. From now on, use Jingyuan's way to appease the people, and ask the saint to give him another chance.
Jing Chun can bend and stretch, he knows that he has made the emperor unhappy this time, and he needs to be extra cautious next. Take it soft first, keep this position and then make a calculation.
It's just that his letter hasn't been sent out yet, and another wave of people sent by the emperor has arrived.
Qi Yuanfang, the son of Zuo Xiang, and Feng Yi, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, were ordered to come to assist King Rui in disaster relief.
What does this mean, can Jing Chun still not understand? These two are obviously what Jing Yuan wants from His Majesty, where do they still have their own place?
The emperor just told him that the person is changed, and you can do it.
Jing Chun sighed and threw the letter he had just written into the brazier, Jing Yuan was afraid that he would choose the person before leaving, he didn't expect this layer, after all, it was a step too late.
When Duanwang was reflecting alone, Jing Yuan was listening to his subordinates report on the distribution of food, and Pei Jin beckoned Qi Yuanfang and Feng Yi to eat.
Qi Yuanfang is the elder brother of Qi Yuanyuan and Qi Baozhu, Baozhu comes to Baoren Hall by carriage every day, Qi Yuanfang has sent it many times, and he worships Pei Jin very much.
As for Feng Yi, he was even more familiar.
The two of them came in a hurry, obviously very hungry, and they also gulped down simple meals.
Feng Yi said that he was fortunate to be able to participate in the disaster relief for three lives, and thanked the prince for cultivating and giving him the opportunity to serve the people.
Pei Jin said that Xiao Feng is well-educated and capable, and it is a matter of time before he comes out, and he will work hard with the prince, and the future is bright.
Xiao Qi was very talkative, and told Pei Jin about the situation in the capital:
"My cheap sister cries at every turn, saying that she has taken the life of the jewel, which must disgust everyone. My father and mother clearly said that she could stay in the Qi family and would treat her like before, but she said that she was ashamed of it, for fear of upsetting Baozhu. He also said that since Baozhu came back, he was not at home almost every day, and he probably didn't want to be with her, and begged my father and my mother to send her away. Mrs. Pei, is this Qi Baozhen crazy? ”
Pei Jin smiled: "She's not crazy, she's called tea, green tea?" ”
Qi Yuanfang was worried enough, "Isn't this okay?" is like this every day, she cries at every turn, as if the Qi family has treated her badly, and she is annoyed to death! ”
Pei Jin smiled: "It's better to do this, next time she will have tea, and she will simply follow her wishes." ”
Xiao Qi didn't understand too much, Pang Zhan poured him a glass of soju, and said with a smile: "My master said that she cried and asked you to send her away, so send it to Zhuangzi; If she shouts that she wants to become a monk, she will be sent to the Guzi Temple immediately. You can rest assured, it only takes one time to ensure that she keeps her mouth closed tightly and does not dare to horn again. ”
"Great idea!" Xiao Qi suddenly realized and touched a cup with Pang Zhan.
Qi Yuanfang said again: "Mrs. Pei, it's not so cold these days, the ice of the canal has been excavated, and the state capitals along the way will work together, and it won't be long before it can be navigated." ”
"That's great!" Pei Jindao, "When the grain is brought in, the follow-up disaster relief will be guaranteed." Isn't it the people from the camp on the outskirts of Beijing who are digging the ice? Can safety be assured? ”
Feng Yi knew that Pei Jin was worried about Zhao Jie, so he nodded and said, "I went to the canal with Shen Gongzi before I came down, Zhao Jie is the general banner, and the more than fifty people under him are extremely brave. Nawei Hu's arm strength is outstanding, one person can withstand five envoys, and Xiao Wei, with a rope tied to his body, ran alone to the middle of the river to bury explosives, he lit the explosives, and returned to the shore after a few ups and downs. Zhao Jie's command was proper, he took the lead, and the people of the Yiyong battalion were full of praise. In the next estimate, when the river is unblocked, the Zhao Jie brothers are afraid that they will rise. ”
Pei Jindao: "When I sent him to the Yiyong Camp, I knew that this road was difficult, and I also knew that he was tenacious, but I was inevitably worried when I encountered something. It is an honor for the soldiers to do things for the people, but I also hope that he will be auspicious and return safely. ”
Feng Yi smiled: "Zhao Jie reassures you, he said that he spared his life very much,"
Pei Jin smiled and bowed, and Feng Yi said again: "Pei Ji Soap has opened, and after this winter, business is still very good." ”
Pei Jin was not surprised.
The target customers of soap are high-end people, and when the snow disaster came, these people were not hungry. They did not lack money, and as soon as the snow stopped, they came out to spend it.
It's good that the more soap you earn, the more you can do.
Feng Yi took out an envelope, "This is written to you by Shen Gongzi, and I was specially asked to bring it over." You don't need to worry about Shen Qi, you left him a lot of schoolwork, and it is impossible to be lazy. ”
Pei Jin thanked Feng Yi, put away the letter, and asked, "How are Ying Sleeves doing recently?" ”
"Well, she can eat and sleep, and she is getting rounder. Dr. Chunhua goes to the house every once in a while, and we are all very relieved. ”
After the greetings, Pei Jin asked Pang Zhan and Lin Suwen to accompany Qi Yuanfang and Feng Yi to dinner, and took Qin Sang back to the room by himself.
Pei Jin quipped: "I couldn't sleep all night two days ago, sighing, this time I'm relieved?" ”
"There's nothing to worry about." Qin Sang said with a red face.
Pei Jin pondered for a moment, "You and Zhao Jie are not young, go back from disaster relief this time, and decide the marriage." ”
Qin Sang tugged at the corner of his clothes and nodded with a smile: "It's all up to the master." ”
"Don't you need to tell your father?"
Qin Sang sighed, "He doesn't care what I do." ”
Pei Jin didn't say much, when Pei Ji Pharmacy first opened, Qin Sang was by his side. The girl's mother died, her father remarried, she studied medicine as a girl, and lived outside, and the family never asked.
Therefore, nothing can be pointed at Qin Sang's father.
Pei Jin made a small calculation in his heart: You have to prepare a dowry to marry an apprentice, right? If you marry a daughter-in-law, you have to prepare a bride price, right? I have to earn more money!
Qin Sang went out to dispense medicine, and Pei Jin took out Shen Yunbai's letter, very pleased.
The big man's broken characters have finally improved, and he writes quite seriously.
