Chapter 252: Gearing Up
When Haixi Ya returned home in the evening, he also said that there were many suspicious strong men wandering around the nearby streets.
He heard people talk about it in the Yamen of the Dusi, and he specially instructed his family to be careful when entering and leaving on weekdays.
Hai Changan immediately said that he would definitely be optimistic about the portal and protect his family, so that his father would not have to worry. The reef and begonia also echoed a few words.
Ma Shi talked about the identities of these suspicious people: "Some people say that they look like a few soldiers who have committed crimes just after the Chang'an avant-garde. Brother E also said that recently, their guard has been in a mess, and the commander seems to be fighting with several military attachés below. Those military attachés seized the handle of the commander's own soldiers and drove away several of them, and the commander turned to find their bad luck. All kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky, and the people below are talking about it. The eldest brother, an idler who is recuperating at home, can still hide, and those who are not sick or painful and have to go to duty every day don't know what to do now. ”
Not everyone in the Chang'an avant-garde is qualified to hear about the black material of the commander Du Boqin, and there are a large number of middle and lower-level military attaches and soldiers who are not from the general sect and do not know anything about the good things Du Boqin has done. They could perceive the chaos inside the guard, and they could guess to some extent that this matter should be the commander's indiscretion, but most people still remembered that Du Boqin was the son-in-law of the Zhou family, and thought that he would not have an accident, at most he would lose his official position and be transferred, and they hesitated in their hearts and didn't know how to stand in line.
Uncle Toma's good popularity is blessed, and many people have come to his house to "visit" these days, actually looking for him to find out. He has two sisters-in-law, one is the Zhou family, and the other is in the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division, no matter which one he has, he should theoretically know a lot of inside information, and it is safest to ask him to inquire.
Uncle Ma actually sent a letter to his eldest sister Zhou Ma first, inviting her to go back to her parents' house to talk in detail. But Zhou Ma has been busy with housework recently, and because Zhou Shigong strictly forbade her family to go out to visit relatives and friends, she wanted to go back to her parents' house, and she didn't dare to disobey the order, so Uncle Ma had to invite her little sister Ma alone.
Ma Shi knew some rumors from Haixi Cliff, and she told her brother everything. Uncle Ma knows that the avant-garde in Chang'an is a puddle of muddy water now, and it is best not to go to the water if there is nothing to do, and try to hide as far as possible to avoid getting into trouble.
This is not only because Du Boqin is about to be ousted from the command position, but also because when he was in charge of the Chang'an avant-garde in the past, he used the people in the guard to do some disciplinary violations. If someone is knowingly or unknowingly dragged into the water by him, it is estimated that they will be punished if they are investigated afterwards. If these people could prove that they were completely unaware of it, but were only used by Du Boqin, and were not his accomplices, they might be less guilty. But if they are stubborn and have to follow Du Boqin all the way to the dark, then what awaits them in the end will definitely not be to be promoted and rich.
Uncle Ma listened to the little sister's words and knew how to deal with this matter. He will notify the relatives and friends who should be notified; But for some people who are not so good-minded, he is not going to reveal his tone. He himself was not sure whether the latter had been ordered to inquire about the news. He didn't want to bury his doomed boss, and of course he wanted to nip all the danger in the bud.
He still has a little expectation in his heart, listening to the meaning of the little sister, the commander and a large group of his henchmen are about to be unlucky, so won't the Chang'an avant-garde have to vacate many official positions? He, an old senior military attache who is about to die old, has always been popular, his roots are good, and he has the in-laws of the Zhou family, and another in-law has also climbed to the head of the household in the capital. When there is an urgent need for a reliable person to fill the vacancy within the health center, is he more hopeful than others?
If he is too high-level, there are too few options for the position he can promote, and he has been sick at home for a long time, so he is not competitive with others, what about his sons and grandchildren?
His children are also upright, loyal and reliable, and their age and martial arts are about the same, and they are still the children of Chang'an's avant-garde, so it is natural to fill the gaps, right? He didn't dare to think too much, the two sons could each get a position, and the grandchildren would earn it on their own......
When Ma Shi said this, she couldn't help but sigh to her husband: "It's not easy for big brother. If it weren't for his children and grandchildren, he would have gone home to recuperate a long time ago, and he would have to plan for his children and grandchildren until today. When they had an accident in Chang'an, the first thing he thought of was not that he had a chance to be promoted, but that his nephews and grandnephews were expected to fill the vacancy. This kind of intention really makes people don't know what to say. The children of his family are all very mediocre, but I am afraid that they may not be selected. When the time comes, the eldest brother doesn't know how to be annoyed! ”
Hai Xiya said a fair word: "There are many people staring at the vacancy of the avant-garde in Chang'an now, and it is not easy for your nephew to fight for one, and he may not be able to fight for the second." If your brother really wants to plan for his children and grandchildren, it is better to consult with his in-laws, and it is more secure to ensure that his eldest son can get a better official position. His in-laws also have their own connections, which is more certain than his alone. ”
Ma sighed: "That's what I said, and the eldest brother also has this meaning, that is, the sister-in-law is stubborn, and she has to plan for the second nephew, and the future of the eldest nephew will be handed over to his father-in-law." I can't help but scold my sister-in-law, the eldest nephew's ability can barely be handled, what does the second nephew have?! He is not even as good as others in riding and archery, so what does he rely on to fight with others? Don't fight for the opportunity, but let him waste it. If that's the case, it's better not to bother with this effort, lest the money be spent, and the favor will be spent, but the bamboo basket will be empty, and there will be nothing! ”
Before going home, she was still arguing with her sister-in-law, and her eldest brother was also on her side. She didn't understand why her sister-in-law was so partial to her second nephew, but seeing that her eldest brother's condition was getting worse day by day, but she still had to bother planning for the future of her children and grandchildren, and she couldn't settle down to recuperate, but her sister-in-law was willful and reckless regardless of the overall situation, so she couldn't help but be angry. No matter how the sister-in-law manages the family and has children, for the sake of the future of the Ma family, she can't be allowed to mess around now!
Ma personally called his second nephew Ma Lusheng over, explained the matter clearly, and asked him to choose by himself. If he is willing to give in, she will always find a way to find a vacancy for him or his son; If he had to listen to his mother, or out of selfishness, he used filial piety to his mother as an excuse to rob his brother's future, then don't blame her aunt for ignoring her relatives.
The Ma family has no confidence now, and they still rely on the shadow left by the older generation. Uncle Ma wants to fight for a better future for himself and his children and grandchildren, and can only count on the help of his two brothers-in-law. Ma is sure that he can decide the opinion of Haixi Cliff, and it can also influence the thoughts of the eldest sister Zhou Ma's family. If she had the heart to help her eldest nephew Ma Luyuan, it would be impossible for Uncle Ma and Ma Lusheng to bypass her wishes.
Ma Lusheng is not stupid enough to get home. Although he peeked at his mother several times, he finally said in person that this family would be handed over to his brother in the future, and the official should be the brother's priority. He is willing to be a good younger brother, assist his brother, take care of his parents, and not let his brother have worries.
As soon as Ma Lusheng said this, Uncle Ma's wife cried, accusing her husband and sister-in-law of deceiving people too much, forcing her filial youngest son to give up his future. Ma didn't bother to quarrel with her anymore, comforted his brother a few words, and then said goodbye and went home.
However, her mood did not calm down so quickly, and she was obviously still angry at her sister-in-law's stupidity. Hai Xiya reassured her repeatedly, and promised to help her inquire about the official position suitable for her eldest nephew.
The two brothers and sisters, Haijiao and Haitang, watched quietly and quietly exchanged glances.
Before Du Boqin stepped down, so many people were already eyeing him and his henchmen's official positions, waiting to grab the position, which shows that his qi has really run out.
