Chapter 658: Jingzhong Suwei
Lin Jinshu clenched his fists secretly: "Who says it's not? The courtiers have been discussing these days. It must be that Tang Ru deceived his elder brother with a leg problem and wanted to assert his own power. The officials under him are helpless. Only when he dared to leapfrog the ranks did he get involved and be impeached along with his elder brother."
After a pause, her face became sullen, and she rebuked dissatisfiedly: "That Princess Qian is really domineering, she doesn't care about the lives of the soldiers, and claims that Tang Ru's defeat is just a loss of some soldiers. The lives of the Tang family are precious, and right now the whole court is complaining about their couple."
"It couldn't be better."
Listening to Lin Jinshu's indignant reprimand, Chu Nanzhi couldn't help feeling complacent, and couldn't help but speak out what was in her heart.
"Ah, Nan Zhi, what did you say?"
Lin Jinshu looked at her in surprise.
"I, I said that in this way, your brother will be able to take care of things conveniently in Pingning Prefecture."
In front of this sister-in-law, Chu Nanzhi deliberately described the situation in Pingning Prefecture as terrible:
"Princess, I don't know how difficult your brother's life is in Pingning Prefecture. This Tang Confucian is relying on the power of the Tang family to flirt with your brother. Let's just say that this rebellion is just a case of ringworm. The governor insisted on using power to suppress people, and let his Tang family army go out without authorization, which resulted in the loss of soldiers and generals, and the people's resentment boiled over. The Duke Qian took the initiative and threatened death, you said that your brother is really helpless."
"The Tang family is really hateful, and this time I must not forgive him and his wife."
Lin Jinshu clenched his fists hard, and comforted him, "Nan Zhi, you don't have to worry. This time, even the Queen Mother and Tang Yao won't be able to intercede for him and his wife."
"Um."
Chu Nanzhi pretended to be aggrieved and nodded.
The little treasures saw that their mother was lying to their aunt, and Sanbao Lin Ruichong also pretended to be pitiful: "Auntie, my father's legs and feet are disabled now, and the great governor of the Tang Dynasty has lost a lot of soldiers. If those rioters Invading the state capital, who can save daddy?"
Lin Jinshu had always been worried about her elder brother's old illness, and when she heard Sanbao mentioning this matter, she also asked worriedly, "How are Brother Wang's legs and feet getting better?"
"It's not always good and bad."
Currently, Chu Nanzhi couldn't tell Lin Jinshu about this matter, so she had to be perfunctory.
"It's really embarrassing for my brother."
Lin Jinshu frowned and looked at Chen Chuan who was outside the carriage, and sighed weakly: "Now that my brother has transferred Captain Chen to Beijing, the number of available people around me may be even less."
"Who said it wasn't."
Chu Nanzhi followed with a sigh: "I originally wanted to keep Xiaowei Chen by his side, but he was worried about me and the little treasures, and the two elders went to Beijing with them again this time. If we don't bring Xiaowei Chen , he must be worried."
"It seems that the court must make up its mind this time."
Lin Jinshu's gaze became firmer: "The officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River has been corrupt for a long time, and the imperial court has long wanted to clean it up. This time, no matter what, I can't let my brother face all the powerful forces alone. Otherwise, those rich gentry and filthy officials will continue to work for tigers. I'm afraid It is my Dahe Empire that half of the country is in danger."
After a pause for a few seconds, she said in a gentle voice: "After Cen An and I get married next month, I will discuss with my father-in-law, and he and the courtiers will present the performance, and I will invite you to be the inspector of the Jiangnan states to help my brother clean up. Jiangnan officialdom."
"This couldn't be better."
Chu Nanzhi was secretly delighted.
Ji Cen'an's father, Ji Huaishu, was the empress dowager's nephew, and was highly regarded by the emperor and the empress dowager. Although he is only the Minister of Shangshutai now, he is a low-ranking errand, who can almost restrain all officials. Going to the south of the Yangtze River to take the lead in purging the officialdom, the plan of mutual promotion of officials that he and Lin Jinxiao had drawn up before could be carried out more easily.
Arriving at the Baima Yiguan, the largest post station in Beijing, the sky has gradually darkened.
It was just when night fell and the lights came on, the posthouse was full of traffic and people, and it was extremely lively.
It is said that the prosperity of Luyan Port is almost the same as that of Jingling City, but after all, this is an important place in Gyeonggi Province, rich in natural treasures, and full of royal vigor. It is really incomparable to Luyan Port and other small towns in the south of the Yangtze River that are known for their softness of.
Even the gates of the city should look majestic, towering and solid.
A group of people entered the post house, and the most luxurious single-family courtyard in the middle east of the post house was already cleaned up by the post office to receive the most distinguished guests in Pingning Prefecture.
Chang Lao and Nie Lao led Shen Yunqing and school lieutenant Chen Chuan to be placed in the outer courtyard, while Chu Nanzhi, mother and son, and Liu Yun lived separately in the inner courtyard.
After waiting for everyone to claim their own houses, Yi Cheng asked someone to prepare a sumptuous dinner for everyone.
Although they were all prepared according to the standard of imperial banquets in the palace, the two elders had traveled a long distance and really lost their appetite.
Seeing that the little treasures were all listless, Chu Nanzhi had no choice but to ask Yicheng to prepare some ingredients, and personally made some appetizing side dishes in the kitchen of the small courtyard, and invited the elders to come and eat.
Looking at the unique dishes on the table, Mr. Chang and Mr. Nie gained some appetite, ate some with relish, and began to take the initiative to order Yi Cheng to bring over two pots of shochu.
After drinking and eating, the two elders were in high spirits, and Chang Lao asked urgently about the situation in Beijing.
Lin Jinshu was still reminiscing about the dishes his brother and sister-in-law cooked just now, and when he heard his husband's inquiry, he quickly replied: "Now the 30,000 cavalry brought by King Qinghe are all stationed in the camp thirty miles to the west of the city. Over the past few days, we have continuously united with the courtiers, and on the grounds that the unstable situation in Pingning Prefecture will endanger the capital, we have successively placed confidant generals to take charge of the army in the nine gates of Gyeonggi Province and even the battalions near Jingling City."
"Pingning Prefecture is just suffering from ringworm. Your senior brother will surely quell the rebellion. Besides, there are still 100,000 cavalry stationed in Langzhou. How will the situation in Changning County endanger the capital?"
Chang Yanjue curled his lips in dissatisfaction: "It's King Qinghe and Tang Yao, I'm afraid they have ulterior motives."
"Teacher, don't worry, even if the general and King Qinghe have two hearts, they will not be able to succeed for the time being. The Suwei army in the nine gates of the capital is now led by the chariot general Ji Rongheng, and more than half of the 200,000 troops stationed in the three major camps of the capital The soldiers here are all the student's confidantes in the early battles, as long as the student is in the capital, King Qinghe dare not act rashly."
Lin Jinshu's confident attitude made Chu Nanzhi feel very relieved, but Chang Lao was always cautious, so he couldn't help but anxiously said: "Cen An, this clan brother has been in charge of the Suwei Army for many years. Although he hasn't made any mistakes, he is not easy to get close to. My dear, now that your brother and sister-in-law's family is in Beijing, they are afraid that he will be deceived and make things difficult for your brother and sister-in-law."
"Brother Rong Heng has always been like this, he is right about things and not people, but he has a clear stand in his heart, and he is only loyal to His Majesty and the Empire."
Although Lin Jinshu didn't really like Ji Rongheng's temperament in his heart, he respected him very much, otherwise the imperial court would not let him take charge of the Jingzhong Suwei.
