Fan Kang's daughter-in-law stopped her three sons and daughter-in-law who were plowing in the field.
Then he took the patriarch and the young man back to his home.
As soon as Fan Kang's daughter-in-law arrived at home, she said to her eldest daughter-in-law: "Don't be idle, hurry up and bring tea to the two distinguished guests."
Then Fan Kang's wife introduced the patriarch and the young man into the main room.
After entering the house, the guests and hosts took their seats. After they were seated, Fan Kang's daughter-in-law said, "Does the second uncle come to our house for something important?"
"It's nothing. It's just your family who sent you a message from Beijing."
After hearing this, Fan Kang's daughter-in-law was not as happy as she imagined. Instead, her face was as dark as water.
"This heartless person has been gone for many years, so what kind of letter should I send now?"
Patriarch Fan ignored Fan Kang's wife's complaint and said to the young man next to him: "Brother, this is Fan Kang's wife. You can just tell her anything you want."
After hearing this, the young man stepped forward and said to Fan Kang's daughter-in-law: "I have met Madam. I am working as an errand at the Infantry Commander's Yamen. Our Chief Fan has asked me to bring a letter to Madam."
After saying that, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Fan Kang's wife with both hands.
Fan Kang's eldest son quickly picked it up and sent it to his mother.
Fan Kang's daughter-in-law took the letter, opened it, and read it. She was so excited that she trembled all over.
It turned out that in the letter, Fan Kang briefly told his daughter-in-law what had happened during this period, and told her that he was now the chief clerk of the Infantry Commander's Office in Beijing, and would take them to Beijing to live together.
At this moment, Fan Kang's daughter-in-law just felt that the clouds were clearing, and the daughter-in-law of many years had finally become a mother-in-law.
The patriarch next to her saw her excitement and knew something was up, and asked hurriedly: "What did the letter say?"
When Fan Kang's daughter-in-law heard the patriarch's question, she couldn't help but feel proud. Now her family is an official in the capital, and her official position is not small.
"It's nothing. It's just that the infantry commander's yamen in Beijing now serves as a small chief clerk, and we are asked to take care of his life."
The clan leader was shocked when he heard this. He was the chief clerk of the infantry commander's yamen. He was a great official. Even their county magistrate would pay homage to him when he saw him.
Then the patriarch put down his face and began to compliment Wan Kang's wife. And Fan Kang's daughter-in-law did not get carried away. When she saw the patriarch's compliments and responded respectfully, the military department was not proud at all. Because she knew that the patriarch was different from others.
Fan Kang works as a bigger official outside, and it's hard to offend the clan leader.
Fan Kang's family was in chaos in the next few days. Since Fan Kang's wife received Fan Kang's letter, her heart had already flown to the capital, thinking about living the life of that official's wife.
So without any delay, I ordered my three sons and my wife to start packing that night. Since there are more than a dozen people in this big family and there are three grandchildren, it is not easy to pack up and hit the road. Therefore, it took two or three days to pack up.
He was ready, and entrusted the family's land to the clan leader, asking him to help him farm it out, and then left the small mountain village with the welcome of the whole village.
But a few days later, Liu Yu took the written memorial and sent it to Jia Ke's case. Jia Ke read it and signed it.
Jia Ke just scanned it a few times and found that there were no changes on it, namely the candidates for the military aircraft, so he wrote his name on it. It was regarded as agreeing to the memorial.
Then the other two military ministers saw that Jia Ke agreed and signed their names.
Liu Yu took this memorial and hurried to the Dongnuan Pavilion in the Yangxin Hall.
Besides, the emperor was in a very bad mood these days. Although Jia Ke agreed to the Xiaoqi camp going north, he would be worried as long as he didn't leave for a day.
When the emperor was worried, Xia Shouzhong said softly from the side: "Long live my lord, Liu Yu will ask for an audience again."
"Let him come in. From now on, if Liu Yu wants to see him, let him come in directly. There is no need to inform him every time." The emperor was a little absent-minded, but he still took great care of his loyal minister.
After a while, Liu Yu entered the Yangxin Palace. As soon as he entered the palace door, he quickly knelt down and saluted the emperor.
"Get up, Liu Aiqing, why are you here this time? Could it be that Jia Ke has regretted it again?" The emperor is most afraid of hearing the news of Jia Ke's regrets, because the march of the Xiaoqi camp northward will affect his next move.
"Long live the Lord, rest assured that Jia Ke has not regretted it. This time, it is because the Military Aircraft Department is missing a minister, so we discussed it in the Military Aircraft Department and jointly recommended two ministers for you, the Emperor, to make your own decision." Liu Yu
Sternly state your purpose clearly.
"Then bring it up and let me see who you have chosen?" When the emperor heard that he was the candidate for the Minister of Military and Aircraft, he immediately became energetic. This is related to the stability of the court, and there must be no mistakes.
Liu Yu took out the memorial from his sleeve and held it up high. Xia Shouzhong immediately came over to get the memorial, returned to the emperor, lowered his head and presented it to the emperor.
The emperor opened the memorial and looked at it carefully. He found that the two candidates here were Zhang Chaoxin, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Sun Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishments.
Among these two people, Zhang Chaoxin was originally a member of the Supreme Emperor, and later took refuge with Jia Ke. He stood by Jia Ke in several court meetings, and led his men to beat the gong for Jia Ke to clear the way. His buttocks have completely sat on Jia Ke's side.
aside.
Sun Yan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, was different. Not long after he ascended the throne, he surrendered to himself. Since then, he has been loyal to him and can be regarded as one of his closest ministers.
In this case, what other choice does the emperor have? He directly said to Liu Yu below: "I think it is more appropriate to let Sun Yan, the Minister of Punishment, serve as the minister of military aircraft. What do you think?"
Liu Yu knew the emperor's choice a long time ago, and no one would choose his own person at such a critical moment.
"Your Majesty, you are wise, I have the same idea."
The emperor nodded and said to Xia Shouzhong next to him: "Write an imperial edict, let me read it, stamp it and send it to the Ministry of Punishment. Let Sun Yan report to the Military Aircraft Department tomorrow. Now there is no Lei in the Military Aircraft Department.
Ying, I'm afraid something will happen."
Liu Yu saw that the emperor had already decided, and then continued: "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to tell the emperor face to face."
"Just tell us what you have to say. Do we still need to be so polite between our monarch and our ministers?" the emperor said comfortingly.
Liu Yu frowned and lowered his head and thought for a while. He really didn't know what to say. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu, may have an affair. The emperor should be more careful."
"What's going on? Hasn't he always been loyal to me? Why has he rebelled now?" The emperor still didn't believe it. After all, Tian Ye would not have been able to become the Minister of Military and Aircraft without his promotion. He could say that he was loyal to him.
So kind and generous.
"Your Majesty, when we proposed the candidate for Minister of Military and Aircraft yesterday, Zuodu Yushi Tian Ye actually remained neutral. If he had been on the side of the minister, there would be no need for this memorial at all. The person was already selected yesterday." Liu.
Yu still briefly introduced what happened yesterday to the emperor.
After hearing this, the emperor was very angry, "What a white-eyed wolf, this wolf feeds unfamiliar wolf cubs. When I get the skills, I will really kill his whole family." Then a series of obscene words came out of the emperor's mouth.
, this is the first time for the emperor who has been well-educated since childhood. It shows how much the emperor hates this traitor.
Seeing that the emperor was furious, Liu Yu did not dare to say anything while standing below. He could only wink at Xia Shouzhong, who was standing next to the emperor, to persuade him.
But Xia Shouzhong was looking at his nose and mouth without saying a word. Now that the emperor was so angry, if he went up to persuade him himself, wouldn't that be scolding him? Let's wait until the emperor calms down.
The emperor cursed there for a long time, finally took a breath, picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one breath.
Xia Shouzhong now took a step forward and said to the emperor: "Long live my Lord, please calm down and take care of your dragon body. Don't let these blind wolf cubs make you so angry."
The emperor has now lost some of his anger, but his face is still ashen.
Liu Yu also hurriedly advised: "Your Majesty, some people are just short-sighted. How could you know the emperor's talents and strategies? When the overall situation is determined, it will not be too late for the emperor to convict them."
The emperor then calmed down and said, "Fortunately, one of us from the Military Aircraft Department can come up this time. Otherwise, even the Military Aircraft Department will soon be controlled by Jia Ke."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The Military Aircraft Department is still under His Majesty's control. Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu, just wants to remain neutral without being offended. That old Meng Ming is just an informant placed by the Supreme Emperor in the Military Aircraft Department and does not have much effect.
. Now with the addition of Sun Yan, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Emperor can still control the Military Aircraft Department, and all government affairs in the world still need to be approved by the Emperor." Liu Yu confessed his views to the emperor, which was a kind of comfort to the emperor.
The emperor thought for a moment and found that it was indeed the case. In this way, although he had lost one person, his status in the Military Aircraft Department was still the highest. Now the Military Aircraft Department was still barely under his control.
"You ask Lei Ying to urge the Xiaoqi camp to go north as soon as possible, and then say hello to King Beijing and ask him to resume his duties at the Xiaoqi camp as soon as possible. Why has there been no movement from the King of Beijing for so long?"
The emperor finally remembered King Beijing. King Shuirong of Beijing, although he was the first among the four princes and eight princes to surrender to him, he had been hiding in the palace since he was reprimanded by the Supreme Emperor last time and never came out again.
This time I gave him an order to serve as the supervisor, but he has not yet taken up the post. Could it be that he is deliberately delaying it?
Liu Yu thought for a while and then said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I will go to the Prince of Beijing's Mansion tonight. What does Prince Beijing mean?"
"Liu Aiqing, do you think that King Beijing has regretted it again? Wants to return to Jia Ke's side?" The emperor was still a little frightened by the betrayal of Tian Ye, the censor of Zuodu.
Any sign of something wrong will make you suspect that the other party has betrayed you.
"Your Majesty, I think it's impossible. King Beijing has betrayed the alliance of the four kings and eight princes. He has already confronted Jia Ke in the court. Jia Ke will not accept him again. A person has betrayed once. Is it possible?
Does he want to betray again?" Liu Yu immediately stated the key point now.
"Then why hasn't he taken up the post in Xiaoqi Camp?" the emperor said with some uncertainty.
"From Wei Chen's point of view, Prince Beijing is waiting for an opportunity. In the past, when Jia Ke stood still, even if he went to the Xiaoqi Camp, it might not have much effect. As long as Jia Ke agrees to send troops, he can only go to the Xiaoqi Camp to have any effect.
It should play its role. Otherwise, in the capital, every move he makes is under Jia Ke’s nose, so how could he dare to take any action." Liu Yu seemed to have seen through all the actions of King Beijing, and with just these few words, he
