Chapter 72: Don't think about promotion

The Great Qian's Dynasty lasted for ten days, and the second day was the time of the previous dynasty. Wu Guoliang got up when he got up, and his concubine Hu helped him get dressed.

"Send someone to Zhang's Mansion and call Jingyun back, she can't live there all the time." Wu Guoliang instructed the Hu family that the affairs of the current inner house would be managed by her for the time being.

Hu Shi answered, and Wu Guoliang let out a long breath. He barely slept all night last night, and his head was always thinking about how things would be resolved.

Fang Shanchang said that Xiao Yuchen "has a loss of virtue", which must be related to Wu Jingyun. But Wu Jingyun lives in Zhang's Mansion, he has no evidence, and there is no way to check, how can he explain it to Mrs. Yongning Hou?

He thought that Mrs. Yongning Hou would accept some apologies this time like last time, and then the matter would pass. But obviously this time, Mrs. Yongning Hou is more serious.

With a sad face, he walked out of the courtyard of the concubine Hu, and he got on a sedan chair to go to the court. When he arrived outside the Qianqing Palace and saw Tang Guogong, he smiled and said deeply: "Grandpa Guo is early." ”

Tang Guogong knew why he took the initiative to come over to say hello, but he didn't know what to do, and said, "Lord Wu is also early." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Wu Guoliang saluted Tang Guogong again, even on weekdays, he didn't dare to say hello to Tang Guogong, let alone now.

Here, Tang Guogong lowered his head and straightened his sleeves, he had no intention of talking to him, and Wu Guoliang couldn't tell from his face that he didn't know what happened in Shanglin Academy. He wanted to ask Tang Guogong for a favor, but he was afraid that Tang Guogong didn't know about it before, so he found out when he asked for it, and he was angry with him.

After considering the language, Wu Guoliang whispered to Tang Guogong: "The little girl and Xiao Shizi are really sorry for the divorce. ”

"This marriage is the good of the two families who want to marry Qin and Jin, but the two children are really not suitable, and it is good if the family retires." Tang Guo is fair, and his face is ordinary.

"Yes, yes." Wu Guoliang's back bent slightly, and he echoed with a smile. Just as he was about to say something more, the palace door opened, and the ministers began to walk inside. He hurriedly saluted Tang Guogong and retreated back.

The courtiers went to court, according to the size of the official position, the position of the station is particular, naturally the higher the official position, the higher the front. Tang Guogong is a super grade Guogong, so he is naturally in the front position. And Wu Guoliang is a fourth-grade official, in the middle and back position.

After entering the court, the ministers began to play the book, Wu Guoliang stood in his position, thinking about what to do in his mind, and his mind was not on the court at all, so he kept one ear in case there was any omission.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone say: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." Wu Guoliang, the servant of the ministry, connived at the female dependents of the family to put the money in the seal. ”

Wu Guoliang's brain buzzed, and he hurriedly trotted to the front, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged!" ”

"Lord Wu, this official has not wronged you." Imperial Historian Li Yuanzhong said: "In September this year, your wife lent a person named Zheng Shi one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and the official of the court can find that person and confront you." ”

"This ....."

Wu Guoliang suddenly looked at Tang Guogong, but he knew that this Li Yuanzhong had a lot to do with Tang Guogong. He was sure that it was definitely Tang Guogong who instructed Li Yuanzhong to join him.

It is said that Tang Guogong is an old fox, and today he really saw it. Just now outside the Qianqing Palace, he was still greeting Tang Guogong, and at that time he was still politely talking to himself, who knew that people had been calculating him for a long time.

And Tang Guogong felt his gaze, as if he didn't feel it, he stood there straight, looking ahead, without giving Wu Guoliang a look.

"Wu Guoliang, what Li Aiqing said is the truth?" At this time, the emperor's voice came from above, and Wu Guoliang was already drenched in cold sweat. He stammered, "Minister... I don't know. ”

If Tang Guogong can take this matter out and play him in the early court, he will definitely not be untargeted. He really hated Feng now.

The emperor snorted coldly, "I can't manage my family well, and I can't do a good job of running errands." You go home and rest for two months, and then take care of the housekeeper before you take up your job. ”

Wu Guoliang almost didn't faint, this is to make him think about it behind closed doors! And now is the critical moment for his promotion, how can he be promoted if this happens? I can't go up this time, and I don't know how many more years I'll have to wait.

But does he dare to object? He could only kneel on the ground and thank the Lord Long.

Dizzy, and finally dispersed, Wu Guoliang hurriedly ran to Tang Guogong, pulled the hem of his clothes and said, "Grandpa Guo, why are you doing this?" ”

Tang Guogong did not deny that the matter of the early dynasty today was related to him, raised his hand to shake off Wu Guoliang's hand, and said: "You have deceived me in the face, why do you say I am?" ”

In Tang Guogong's mind, bullying his daughter and grandson is bullying him.

"But.... But..."

Wu Guoliang wanted to say it, but this was too ruthless, and it almost ruined his career. But he didn't dare to say that Tang Guogong was much more ruthless than Mrs. Yongning Hou. Not to mention ruining his career, if it really annoys him, it is possible to ask him to know.

Tang Guogong threw off his robe and strode away. At this time, his immediate boss, Shangshu Miao Xinjue of the Ministry of Rites, passed by. Wu Guoliang is now flustered and has no rules, he grabbed Miao Xin's sleeve and said, "Master Miao...."

Miao Xinjue pushed him away, sighed, approached him and whispered, "Why are you so careless?" Now is the moment of truth. ”

In order to be promoted, Wu Guoliang gave Miao Xinjue a lot of benefits, but now that Wu Guoliang gave him a mountain of gold, Miao Xinjue didn't dare to recommend him. The emperor said "the errand is not very good", he doesn't want to be promoted in this life.

"Master Miao...."Wu Guoliang's face wrinkled into a bitter gourd, he never thought that the consequences would be so serious.

This time, he really realized the consequences of not governing his family strictly. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, determined to go to Zhang's house and ask what was going on. But as soon as he walked to the sedan chair, he saw Steward Zhao from the Yongning Marquis Mansion waiting there.

Seeing him, Steward Zhao stepped forward and saluted, "Lord Wu, my wife asked you to go to Zhang's mansion." ”

Wu Guoliang took a deep breath, Mrs. Yongning Hou is going to go to Zhang's Mansion in person to ask for an explanation, and it just so happens that he is also going, his second daughter can't be indulged anymore.

"I know, I'll go." He said.

At this time, Tang Shuyi was on the carriage to Zhang's mansion, and Xiao Yuchen was sitting opposite.

"Mother, are you going to Zhang's house to ask for an explanation?" Xiao Yuchen was suddenly caught in the carriage, and he didn't know what Tang Shuyi was going to do in Zhang's Mansion.

"It's not just about asking for an explanation." Tang Shuyi said.

"What else to do?" Xiao Yuchen asked.

Tang Shuyi glanced at him, "You'll know when the time comes." ”

Xiao Yuchen sighed, he didn't really want to see Miss Wu Er.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at the door of Zhang's mansion, because she had posted before, and the grandmother beside Mrs. Zhang was already waiting at the door, and when she saw Tang Shuyi, she hurriedly saluted. At the same time, the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion saluted Xiao Yuchen and wanted to take him to the front yard.

Seeing this, Tang Shuyi said, "Let him say hello to the old lady first." ”

The housekeeper hurriedly said that Xiao Yuchen, as a junior, should greet Mrs. Zhang. But Xiao Yuchen and their granddaughter of Zhangfu have withdrawn, and it is obvious that the mother and son are a little unkind today.

The housekeeper and the grandmother took the mother and son to the courtyard of Mrs. Zhang in the inner courtyard, and when they arrived, they saw Mrs. Zhang, Tang Shuyi and Xiao Yuchen both gave a junior salute to Mrs. Zhang, so that the etiquette was not lost.

After sitting down, after a few words of greeting, Mrs. Zhang asked Tang Shuyi what was the matter today, and Tang Shuyi said, "Wait, wait until Lord Wu comes." ”
