Chapter 5 Contacts (Part 2)

Wan Qixi, the imperial censor in the palace, has become famous! And he has become very famous!

Part of his words of advice to the Zhao officials were polished by an unknown close minister and sent to editor Hu Quan and editor Hu Quan through the channel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then they were hastily published in the Di Di newspaper the next day.

According to the above description, when Zheng Yinian returned to the south, the Zhao Guan family believed that this person was probably a Jin spy. As a result, Wanqi Yushi argued with reason. From the conviction and pardon decree issued by the Zhao Guan family before to the people in the north, the analysis was clear and logical.

, pointed out that Zheng Yinian's trip south this time had merit and no fault, and officials should not doubt others.

As a result, Zhao Guanjia, who was annoyed by Wanqi Yushi, immediately said, "The spy matter is unclear, and it can also be said that it is unnecessary." However, Wanqi Yushi replied proudly without his hat: "How can we serve the world if we don't need it? How can we govern if we don't need it?"

The world?'

After hearing this, the official suddenly realized, but he stepped forward and personally held Wanqi Yushi's hand, saying he was ashamed, and praised Wanqi Yushi's defense as a model of loyal minister.

Regarding this matter, Hu Quan and Editor Hu couldn't help but express his feelings in person before publishing it in the newspaper. He said that of course Wanqi Yushi deserves respect, but what needs to be remembered is that this kind of thing happened in the harem, except for some officials.

No one outside the courtiers knew about it, but the officials did not care about their own reputation, and took the initiative to ask the courtiers to report the matter to the official residence, in order to promote Wanqi Yushi as a "model loyal minister". This is also a very noble thing in itself...



In short, with the increasing circulation of Di Bao, Wanqi Model was destined to become famous throughout the country. In fact, on the day he was riding a donkey home, countless people he knew or didn't know already handed him over in the street.

, making him a little confused and a little scared... He didn't expect that the official family had such a skill, okay?

Of course, Zhao Guan's family will inevitably receive a lot of praise, because since ancient times, the emperor who is willing to accept advice seems to be the best emperor.

However, in addition, there was one person who suffered from the 'Fishing Disaster' and was so shocked that he even lost his soul... Yes, this person was adhering to a sense of loyalty and led the Second Saint and the Queen Mother Ningde.

Zheng Yinian returned with a handwritten letter.

The former "model loyal minister" Zheng Yinian, who had been lively and active in the past two days, visiting old friends everywhere, and even telling the story of the Northern Kingdom in the homes of several important ministers, as soon as the newspaper came out today, he directly claimed to be sick that night and refused to live or die in front of his family.

The door of the house is open.

Thinking about it, if Wanqi Yushi hadn't been a tough guy, Zhao Guan's family would have regarded him as a Jin spy. The emperor's likes, dislikes and intentions were clear, how could he still dare to show his face? Only Wanqi Yushi

Shi became a role model again, and the official admitted his mistake, but he didn't dare to hide so hard... So, his brother Zheng Xiunian, who had just returned from Yangzhou and got a job in the capital, had to continue to travel around.

, take care of those messy things for his own brother.

And two days later, in the province, Chongwenyuan, where the Privy Council is located, indeed had a formal document delivered, but Zheng Yinian was asked to explain the documents of the Second Saint and the Queen Mother, and Zheng Xiunian had to bite the bullet and replace him.

The younger brother, who had been through the weather in the North for so long that he was too sick to get out of bed, went there to cope with the situation.

This trip lasted a whole day.

After dark, Zheng Xiunian, who was about forty years old, returned to his old house. He was already exhausted, but he managed to gather his energy and went straight to see his second brother. After driving away the servants and closing the door, he couldn't help but

Stomping feet again and again:

"As soon as the official's likes and dislikes for you are revealed, even though you are as tough as Wanqi Yushi, it doesn't stop others from targeting you early!"

"Does this need to be said? Since ancient times, people like Wanqi Yushi have been rare, and those who are dedicated to trying to figure out the holy will are the most common."

By the candlelight, the person who answered his brother Zheng Xiunian was none other than Zheng Yinian himself. He was about thirty-five or sixty years old. He was sitting on the couch, covered with a quilt, but his face was rosy and he spoke fluently. There was no sign of being seriously ill.

"I just don't know who is so eager to target me regardless of reputation and suspicion?"

"It's Prime Minister Zhang Jun of the Privy Council." Zheng Xiunian came to sit on the stool beside the bed, shaking his head more and more. "He almost believed that you were sent back by the Jin people to negotiate peace... In my opinion, you will be able to make peace within a few years."

Don’t think about becoming an official.”

"How many years?" Zheng Yinian also smiled bitterly. "I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to be an official in this life... In the final analysis, it's not that Mr. Zhang looks at me coldly, but that the officials doubt me! And how old are the officials?"

Zheng Xiunian was silent for a while at the bedside, but then suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Second brother, tell me the truth, how did you come back? Did you really escape by yourself, or did the Jin people give you words to let you back?

of?"

Zheng Yinian hugged the quilt on his body and said nothing.

After a while, Zheng Xiunian couldn't help but ask: "Brothers, can I still sell you... If this kind of thing is really confirmed, do you think my brother can run away? Or maybe you are in the north

, actually regarded the story of the official’s journey from Huaishang to Yaoshan as false?”

"How could it be?" Zheng Yinian saw that he couldn't escape, but he said a little dryly. "It's just that I am in the north, and the suffering I have suffered is beyond your imagination, brother, so it is true that there is a chance to come back this time.

What else is there to say? The Jin man really told me in words that I just need to stop here and no longer get involved in this matter. Can the Jin man still cross the river to testify? Let me stay in my old home and become a rich man...

"

"That's true, but you must be careful." Zheng Xiunian's words became dry. He couldn't tell that his brother simply admitted it. Fortunately, this matter was just a 'rumor' at best. "But the rich man

Don’t think too much about it... Our family is a true Bianjing native. During the Jingkang Rebellion, our family’s wealth went directly to various places. When we came back from Yangzhou, only some of the business we had settled in other places in the past was still promising..."

"Where is Zhuangzi?" Zheng Yinian couldn't hold back. "Where is Zhuangzi in Kaifeng, Zhengzhou, Yingchang, and Chenzhou?"

"They were all used by the officials as military camps." Zheng Xiunian was honest. "At that time, we were all in Yangzhou, and the officials were in the north. The Central Plains had been attacked several times. No one could say that these places were used as military camps.

, and there’s really no way to say.”

"That's true...but can't we really want it back? After all, this is our family's serious world?"

"Two months ago, when we came back from Yangzhou, we happened to see Xu Jingheng distributing land in the general's camp to the sergeants who had served and died in battle. At that time, someone had been currying favor with Mrs. Pan, so they wanted to follow her path and take the opportunity to curry favor with the officials, so that they could seize the land.

I want to come back." Zheng Xiunian said bitterly, twisting his beard. "As a result, as soon as the official came back, he threw back all the things Mrs. Pan had collected. Everyone was trembling with fear, and no one dared to take a big breath, for fear of being beaten by the official.

He was casually mistaken for Hai Dongqing and shot... Do you know about the officials shooting Hai Dongqing?"

"How come you don't know?" Zheng Yinian shook his head. "Even the Jin people in the north came to spread this matter as if they were ghosts and gods. That was the Wanyan Lou family. To be honest with my brother, in the north, things were really worse than pigs and dogs. Then

It's strange to say that after the battle at Yanling last year, our treatment was not much better, but much harsher. But this year at the battle at Yaoshan, the Jin people were much more polite to us, and the food and expenses were much better...

…”

"In any case, you have suffered a lot." Zheng Xiunian nodded. "Now that you are back, don't think too much. If your home is not better than before, isn't it better than in the north?"

"That's true." Zheng Yinian nodded, but frowned slightly. "I just feel a little sorry for my cousin. I have been in the north for many years, and I actually have more care from my cousin and my cousin's husband."

Zheng Xiunian also nodded, but suddenly frowned: "Who is the cousin from the north?"

"Which of the sisters from my fourth uncle's family will marry my brother from Hui..." Zheng Yinian hesitated for a moment, but finally said something else. "Actually, the reason why I came back this time was because of Hui's brother..."

My brother's strength is extremely useful to Wanyan Talan. He can speak to Puppet Qi, Nianhan, and Wushu. The so-called servants around me are actually arranged by him...According to his meaning, it is

They asked me to come back and explore the way for many people. If I can succeed, I will let this person go back to Jinan to report the news, but I didn't expect the officials to be so determined."

Zheng Xiunian was stunned for a moment, then stood up and left immediately, and then there was a burst of noise in the courtyard.

But a moment later, Zheng Xiunian came back in a hurry and said something to his brother that made the latter panic: "The trusted servant you brought to my cousin's house has disappeared this afternoon!"

The two of them were panicking, but had almost no choice but to wait in fear for two more days. However, there was still no news, and they couldn't rest assured.

However, after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Two days later, Zheng Xiunian went to another cousin's house, that is, Li Qingzhao's house, and found another cousin's husband, Zhao Mingcheng. He asked Zhao Mingcheng to come forward because of his embarrassing status.

Help me to make some inquiries in various yamen to see if there is any information about the disposal of his brother Yi Nian. 110 e-book www.110txt.com

Let’s also say that Zhao Mingcheng had an extremely bad impression of the official family... because the official family always used his wife as a raft when he wrote poems, which made the couple’s relationship gradually disharmonious for thirty years. But in fact, Zhao Mingcheng should be extremely grateful to the official family of Zhao, because if it weren’t for

Zhao Guan's family worked on many things personally, so in another time and space, Wang Gui's grandson-in-law should have died of malaria in the chaotic south last year.

But now, he is working as an idle official in Bianjing, but he has not been bitten to death by any mosquito carrying pathogens.

Of course, Zhao Mingcheng was destined to be unaware of this kind of overwhelming kindness. On the contrary, he had known that his in-laws had also been tortured by wayward officials, and he had already felt indignation in his heart. However, he immediately shot Zheng Xiunian as soon as he opened his mouth.

He raised his breasts to do "inquiry" for the other party.

However, this kind of inquiring behavior made Zhao Guanjia, who was originally prepared to let the matter go, pay more attention. However, this official did not have the keen awareness of a famous detective and could see directly through the layers of appearances.

There was no flaw. On the contrary, as an ordinary bachelor, he was immediately attracted by some gossip.

"Zheng Yinian is the cousin of layman Yi An?" Zhao Jiu, who was watching the memorial by a dilapidated pond somewhere in the harem, stopped temporarily and then looked curious.

"Yes, their mothers are sisters, and they are both daughters of former prime minister Wang Gui." As Bao Daqing, a member of Zhao Guan's family, Yang Yizhong didn't even need to inquire about this kind of thing, as he was already familiar with it.

"I still remember..." Zhao Jiu couldn't stop laughing. "Han Xiaozhou's grandma is the aunt of Mr. Lu?"

"yes!"

"Ye Mengde's mother is the sister of Chao Buzhi, the fourth scholar of the Su family?"

"yes."

"Is there anything else like it?"

"Officials, there are endless things like this... Cai Jing is also related to King Wang Shu, and the children of famous families such as Er Cheng are even more related." Yang Yizhong responded helplessly.

"I know." Zhao Jiu shook his head and smiled again. "It's nothing more than catching a son-in-law and adding a well-matched one..."

"That's right." Yang Yizhong nodded quickly.

"This is what happened to the Jingkang Incident. Otherwise, if it doesn't take another hundred years, we might even be from a famous family." Zhao Jiu suddenly sighed. "Is Zhao Mingcheng working in Taichang Temple now?"

"Yes." Zhao Jiu said the second half of his sentence to Lan Gui on the other side. The latter's heart skipped a beat and he quickly responded.

"Please ask Mr. Lan to go to the capital and deliver an oral message to send this person out." Zhao Jiu said calmly.

Lan Gui was startled, but he immediately bowed his head and went to do it.

Zhao Jiu continued to look back at Yang Yizhong: "Do Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun have any private conflicts these days?"

Yang Yizhong quickly shook his head: "Both prime ministers can discuss matters as they arise."

"In other words, there are a lot of conflicts, but they haven't reached the point of criticizing each other?" Zhao Jiu looked at the paper in his hand thoughtfully. "From inside to outside, from south to north, nothing between them is necessarily the same..."

Yang Yizhong said no more.

"The Imperial City Department needs to be expanded." Zhao Jiu basically said whatever he thought of. "When the Dongting Lake rebellion is over, the imperial government's finances will be completely comfortable. I have asked several of my husbands to approve the money and establishment for you.

…Not to mention that the city of Tokyo is becoming more and more lively and the manpower may not be sufficient, but once things become more comfortable in the Hebei direction, I am afraid that people will be able to come and go at will, so there must be a little more security there."

Yang Yizhong slowly raised his hand, but did not respond.

"What?" Zhao Jiu looked curiously, obviously confused for a moment.

"I'm afraid that I may not be able to catch up." Yang Yizhong answered seriously. "In the official family, since the times are not as good as before, it is better to restore the old system for some things..."

"There are some old systems that I don't want to restore." Of course Zhao Jiu understood what the other party meant, but he stopped writing and sighed while looking at the dilapidated scene in front of him. "Once I get started here, many things will not stop... But

What's more important is that I still can't trust them. They defeated a palace in Popo and had hundreds of people living together. It's actually quite good and I don't feel uncomfortable."

Yang Yizhong responded with silence.

But Zhao Jiu continued to sigh with emotion: "I probably understand what you and many people are thinking. I always feel that I say so, but in fact people always live in comfort. For example, right now you are all waiting for Concubine Pan to be born. I

I am also waiting, and I feel that whether Concubine Pan gives birth to a prince or a princess, I have to add more people, right? Her temperament has to be changed, right? This is a hole, and it will get bigger and bigger sooner or later... The truth is right

Yes, I don’t have the confidence to say that I won’t soften in the future, but it’s more than that right now... If you ask people to tell those outside the palace who castrated themselves, there is no way out for them here, at least not right now...

This kind of thing needs to be done seriously."

Yang Yizhong could only lower his head.

Zhao Jiu also lowered his head and prepared to continue looking at Zha Zi, but he put it down for a moment and sighed: "Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun didn't start a fight. Maybe they were waiting for news from Concubine Pan's belly. They didn't want to make mistakes at this time. That's the golden man."

Some of you who have ideas are waiting for this time to tell me."

Yang Yizhong was no longer silent this time: "The officials and others are not waiting for news about the emperor's heir, but they all know that the officials are waiting for news about the emperor's heir, so they are waiting for news from the officials."

Zhao Jiu nodded heavily, but couldn't help but smile as he looked at the withered yellow patch in front of him: "It's only a few days."

It is said that on October 22nd of the fourth year of Jianyan, the Yellow River froze early, and Concubine Pan gave birth to a daughter at full term. The official family was overjoyed and named her Yiyou, regardless of the rules.

Pingzhang's military and state affairs were of great importance to Lu Haowen, who led the capital and provinces. Various prime ministers in the Privy Council requested that the princess be born. There was also a great victory at the end of summer, and the country was gradually stabilized. Please forgive the world.

Zhao Guanjia happily agreed, but specifically issued an edict that those who served Jin people and were traitors to Song Dynasty were not among them.

PS: Thanks to the 109th Meng, it’s just a Nuo classmate... I went to do some errands during the day today, thinking that I could come back in the afternoon to finish coding. I was delayed a lot in the afternoon, and at six o’clock, I couldn’t help but feel sleepy, so I thought about taking a nap.

I squinted, but when I opened my eyes, it was already eleven o'clock...it was really embarrassing.
