Chapter 121: Chongshang (the first update is to ask for monthly tickets and follow up)
On the eighth day of the third month in the first year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty.
Yan Qing, who was sent to Tokyo to send a message, returned, but the court did not respond to the official documents Wang Lin had passed through the official channels.
Somewhat strange is unusual.
Murong Mansion has become a royal mansion. Yan Qing quickly entered the main hall of the mansion. Seeing Wang Lin sitting upright with a smile, she did not dare to neglect, she immediately bowed: "Sir, I rushed to Tokyo day and night that day, and asked for a meeting with the token of the master.
Uncle Zhang Ye and Lord Zhang were then taken to the East Palace by Lord Zhang to pay homage to His Royal Highness.”
"The prince and the official family have already known about Qingzhou and Murong Yanda. The subordinates reported carefully that His Highness did not make any statement at that time, and only let his subordinates live in Tokyo with peace of mind, waiting for the court's reply."
"There was no news for several days, so my subordinates had to ask for a meeting with Mr. Zhang, who said that Murong Yanda's private silver mining and corruption and abuse of power had no dispute, and it had become an ironclad case. The official was furious.
It is said that he was furious in the court and had a conflict with the court officials led by the powerful prime minister Cai Jing..."
Yan Qing said again: "However, later there was another dispute in the court about how to reward the Lord. Lord Zhang said that the official and the prince wanted to praise the Lord again, but many people in the court came to impeach the Lord one after another, so that the officials
My family was in a very difficult situation, so I couldn't argue about this for a while."
Yan Qing couldn't understand. Isn't the Song Dynasty's court alone the government decided? How could the emperor and his ministers have a dispute or even conflict in the court?
This almost subverted Yan Qing's three views.
He originally thought that the emperor could do everything. Any problems that arise in the Song Dynasty, corrupt officials everywhere and people were living in poverty, and all the officials were incompetent and stupid. But now it seems that the officials also have many helpless things.
Wang Lin smiled: "Yan Qing, this is the case in the court. Powerful ministers control the government, censors are all-in-one, traitors and dereliction of duty and negligent government. Even the officials are not allowed to do whatever they want. What else did Zhang Shuye say
?”
Yan Qing said: "Mr. Zhang said that this kind of court struggle lasts for a long time and it is difficult to have a result, which is very unfavorable for the adults. The most urgent task is that he asked his subordinates to come back and tell the adults, suggesting that he might as well go to Tokyo."
"So my subordinates asked Lord Zhang to take him to the East Palace again and say goodbye to His Highness. The prince said that the officials and him missed the Lord very much. If the Lord could go back to the capital, he would report his duties to him, the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty,
It's also excellent."
"I remember that at that time, Mr. Zhang said that if the foreign ministers, especially those who are in military positions like the master, return to the capital would be a serious crime and would be given a robbery, but the prince said, Wang Lin
He held a gold medal from the official family, and he led his army back to Beijing to report his duties to our palace. Who dared to stop him? Besides, he dared to kill Murong Yanda if he said that. Are you still afraid of going back to Beijing to fight these smoky and chaotic things
Censor?"
"Sir, this is the original words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Yan Qing ended his reward.
Let me go back to Beijing?
Wang Lin pondered silently.
After a long time, he thought carefully: "Yan Qing, it seems that I have to go to Tokyo. Go and call me Yue Fei and Hua Rong."
Yan Qing then called Yue Fei and Hua Rong.
After Yue Fei and Hua Rong met, Wang Lin bowed and said, "Brother, Yue Fei, I will set off for Tokyo tomorrow to meet the prince and the official family. After I leave, the Qingzhou affairs will be fully entrusted to the two. The internal affairs are with the elder brother.
The main thing is that those Qingzhou officials should use it, but they must be strictly controlled and controlled. The military horses are mainly Yue Fei. Yue Fei, you must continue to train the entire army quickly. The Tiger Army is the foundation of our establishment, and we must not be slackened.
”
Hua Rong was surprised: "Brother-in-law, you are actually going to Tokyo... As a foreign minister, if you don't return to Beijing privately under the order, it would be a serious crime."
Wang Lin smiled and took out the gold medal from the official family from his arms, "I have this gold medal. At that time, the official family promised me that I could go to Beijing to hold the gold medal at any time. Brother, don't worry."
Yue Fei bowed down: "Please rest assured by the teacher. The students must work hard and exercise the troops strictly and quickly, and will never let down the teacher's high expectations."
Wang Lin waved his hand and said, "Go, I believe in you."
Yue Fei finished his greeting and retreated.
Hua Rong looked at Wang Lin quietly and smiled bitterly: "Brother-in-law, I am a military general, but you asked me to take charge of Qingzhou's administrative affairs on your behalf. Isn't this difficult for me?"
"Who doesn't know that my brother is both civil and military, and has a strong heart. He is just a depressed and unsuccessful person. I don't hide it from my brother. I will definitely do my best to operate the four states of Jingdong East Road Qing, Deng, Lai and Mi.
The military and political power of the land, you, my brothers, and the family. If the brothers do not stand up and help me at critical moments, who else can there be?"
Hua Rong was shocked: "Brother-in-law, are you trying to make me abandon martial arts and follow the civil service? But the court has always emphasized civil service and suppressed military service... It is really difficult for me, a general, to transfer to civil service."
"Why do you have to use martial arts to transform into civil and civil? Isn't it good to have both civil and military skills?"
Hua Rong hesitated: "Brother-in-law, there are not many people like you in the world who are favored by the official family and have both civil and military positions. I..."
"Brother, you are a hero, why are you so scrupulous? Let's talk about the future, now you are just governing on my behalf..."
Wang Lin suddenly smiled and changed the topic: "My brother is not young, why has he not had a marriage room yet?"
Hua Rong was stunned, why did he suddenly talk about his marriage again?
He was born in a noble family. In fact, he got married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, but the woman died of illness and has been wasting her time to this day.
"I have something to ask my brother..." Wang Lin bowed.
Hua Rong hid in a panic: "Brother-in-law, you are Shangguan. I am currently serving in your army. You are not etiquette for me. Once you let outsiders see it, the rules of the Fuhu Army will be broken."
"It's okay, my family doesn't have to be polite. Brother, I've found a marriage for you..."
Hua Rong was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother-in-law, you must not. I have no idea of getting married at this moment. I will talk about the marriage later."
"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and no queen is the greatest. Do you want the elder brother to let the Hua family lose the queen?"
Wang Lin said seriously: "I have discussed this with Huarui, and she also agreed with my idea."
Huarui moved out of the inner room at this time and said with a smile: "Brother, Linlang has worked hard. You are so old that you should marry a wife and give birth to children."
...
Hearing that Wang Lin had actually found a daughter of the Meng family, a big merchant in Qingzhou. As the wife of the main gate who had reunited her, Hua Rong couldn't help but say angrily: "Brother-in-law, although Hua is not talented, she is still a seventh-rank official in the court, although I don't have it.
Those who have high and lowly views, but you ask me to marry a businessman's daughter and also need three matchmakers and six certificates. Isn't this going to ruin my future?"
Hua Rong left with her sleeves.
Wang Lin smiled bitterly and said nothing. He actually knew that breaking the inherent family view of this world is not something that can be done in a short time. Just like the Indians in modern society do not have racial divisions, and the rules of mutual marriage are not enough.
The Northern Song Dynasty a thousand years ago.
Huarui smiled gently: "Linlang, don't be anxious, I will slowly persuade my brother. I know Linlang, you want to deliberately improve your businessman status in Qingzhou, so you want your brother to start this for you..."
"My wife, Qingzhou is our foundation. We must develop and prosper as soon as possible and enhance local financial strength. The role of merchants is crucial. Business will prosper, and everything will prosper. I will not explain some things clearly to you now.
, but over time, you will find that I am right."
"As for these so-called opinions of the world, their origins, and their goodness, I think they will abandon them. It's ridiculous that people in the world cannot see through it. Troubled times are coming, and once the Jin soldiers invade in large numbers, even the royal family may not be able to be saved in the future.
In terms of morality, the Han people's clothes are at risk of overturning at any time... Those wealthy ladies in Tokyo who are noble and noble may all become slutty maids and concubines of the Jin people. How long will this so-called high and low still exist?"
Huarui was silent for a while, and she gently snuggled into Wang Lin's arms and said softly: "I have never thought about this before, but I have followed Linlang. You have repeatedly said that the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains on a large scale. Could it be that
Will the Jin people really invade my territory and occupy my mountains and rivers?"
"It will definitely come that day. Once the Jin people destroyed the Liao Kingdom, my Song Dynasty will be the meat on their chopping board. Therefore, we must plan for the long term and prepare for war and fight with all our might. Madam, why did I work hard?
The plan to transfer from Yizhou to Qingzhou is to resist the Jin Dynasty and protect the country and the world."
"Otherwise, with my martial arts and family's wealth, wouldn't it be a rich man with freedom? However, there is no end to the nest, and the country will not exist. What's the family? I will not hesitate to live in a fucking and filthy way.
The officialdom is for this.”
Huali nodded and surrounded Wang Lin's waist, and said nothing more.
She has a distracted temperament and doesn't think too much about many things. After marrying Wang Lin, she is even more reluctant to worry about some things. Anyway, Wang Lin said whatever she wants.
...
Hua Rong finally gave in.
Huarui and Hua Rong were very straightforward.
The Hua family is currently completely dependent on Wang Lin. As long as Wang Lin is there, Hua Rong's future promotion will not be a problem. Otherwise, his small seventh-grade Zhizhai might not be able to make a fortune in his entire life.
This is a fact.
Wang Lin personally asked the matchmaker to go to the Meng family to propose marriage to Hua Rong.
Meng Ting could hardly believe his ears.
Hua Rong is a seventh-rank official position, a descendant of a famous family, and is also Wang Lin's in-laws. He is both good-looking, martial arts, and literary talent. An official like this is willing to publicly marry his daughter as his wife. This is his past
Things that you dare not even dream of.
Although the Meng family is rich and has a family of billions of dollars, and the Meng family's mother is also a spoiled daughter, but the businessman is humble and it is difficult to get married to Shangguan unless she is a concubine.
Hua Rong married the Meng family's little girl, which shocked the entire Qingzhou. Of course, in addition to the envious people, there were also many voices of criticism behind it.
This relative significantly improved the social status of the Meng family in Qingzhou. In order to express his gratitude and gratitude, Meng Ting donated 100,000 yuan as military expenditure of the Fuhu Army.
This also kicked off the prelude to Wang Lin's worship of the Shang Dynasty in Qingzhou.
