Chapter 861: Man proposes, God disposes
Chapter 861 Planning is up to people, success is up to heaven
Before it was dark, Jiang Song returned to Jiang Mansion from the Hanlin Academy. He first got up and went to greet his mother, and then hurried out of the mansion, wanting to go to the Ren mansion to see Uncle Qiu. Jiang Ling's aunt lived in the backyard of Ren's house, and now the three brothers Jiang's family and Dalang's brothers went to Ren's house, and they all went through the gate.
Jiang Song walked outside the gate of Jiang's house and saw the old housekeeper Uncle Hou sitting outside the wall to rest. Seeing him coming out, Uncle Hou stood up and saluted. Jiang Song raised his hand to help, "You don't have to be too polite. After the snow, the road is slippery. You always add more clothes. Be careful when you walk."
Uncle Hou thanked Jiang Song in a low voice, "Master, what happened?"
Jiang Song smiled, "Nothing, don't worry."
After saying that, Jiang Song stepped out of the gate and went to the Ren residence.
Uncle Hou was leaning on a cane, his wrinkled face was solemn. Although he is old, but his eyes are good, something must have happened, otherwise the uncle's face would not be so ugly.
Jiang Song went to Uncle Qiu's room, first asked about the dispute between Jiang Ling and Qin Chengbi, and then said in a low voice, "I met Master Xiao, the Qing of Dali Temple today, and he wanted my second brother to go to Suzhou."
In the past few days, Xiao Junping, who was stopped by Zhang Wenjiang and Xicheng Yamen, who couldn't catch Jiang Erye, found Jiang Song's head, which was also expected by Uncle Qiu. It seems that for Xiao Junping and the others, The matter of deciding who will be sent to the imperial army is imminent, and these days are especially critical, and the defense of Xicheng has to be strengthened.
Seeing that Uncle Qiu was not surprised, Jiang Song asked, "Mr. Xiao is unclear, can you please explain to me: There are many people who are more capable than my second brother in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, why do they like me? Second brother?"
"The reason is just the old man's speculation..." Uncle Qiu explained his speculation in detail, and also said that he went to see Zhang Wenjiang, and asked the yamen of Xicheng Yamen to set up a fog, so that Xiao Junping would not see Jiang Erye's affairs .
Jiang Song did not speak for a long time after listening.
Uncle Qiu didn't say more, just waited quietly. A few days ago, Uncle Qiu didn't tell Jiang Song about this, but he knew that he would be very embarrassed. Now that Jiang Song knows the whole story, how will he choose between his brotherly love for Jiang Feng and the righteousness of serving the country and the monarch?
After a long time, Shansong raised his head and asked solemnly, "I will write a memorial tonight, and tomorrow I will go to the palace to face the Holy Spirit, and I will ask you to go to Suzhou. I can do anything my second brother can do. He is not in good health. Reckless, everything comes from temperament, I am afraid that he will not be able to help, and will cause trouble. You always help me to read the details, how should I write this memorial, and what should I say when I face the Holy Spirit, so that I can ask for the imperial decree? "
Between family affection and righteousness, Jiang Song chose to stand up and have both affection and righteousness. This is indeed what he will do. Uncle Qiu stood up and gave a deep salute, "I understand what you mean, but if Erye learns that you are going to Beijing on his behalf, I am afraid..."
"His children are still young, so he can't blame him for this." Jiang Song assumed the attitude of an older brother. There is no negotiation on this matter at all. If someone from the Jiang family must leave the capital, it can only be him.
Uncle Qiu stroked his beard. He understood Jiang Song's love for Jiang Erye, but he said something wrong: there are many things that Jiang Erye can do, he can't do.
Jiang Song refused to give up, and asked again, "It's up to people to make things happen, how can you know if you don't try? You always help me think about it, how can I talk Long live..."
While they were discussing countermeasures in Fuchu, the carriage of Liu Juntang, editor of the Imperial Academy, arrived at the intersection of Xishi Street. At the end of the year, the West Market was very lively, and it was difficult to get through. An anxious Liu Juntang jumped out of the carriage and went straight to the Xicheng Yamen in the center of the West Market. As soon as he appeared, big girls and little daughters-in-law gathered around him immediately. Seeing this, Liu Juntang stepped faster.
The yacha, who was wearing casual clothes and sentry at the intersection, saw Liu Juntang rushing to the Xicheng yamen, and immediately reported the news to his master Zhou Qiwu. Zhou Qiwu immediately said, "Master Liao, Liu Hanlin will leave it to you."
Liao Chuanrui and Liu Juntang are Jinshi in the same department, and they are officials in Kang'an.
"Master, don't worry." Liao Chuanzhu got up and went out of the inner yamen and stopped Liu Juntang.
When Liu Juntang saw Liao Chuanrui, he grabbed him and asked, "Brother Jiuru, can Lord Jiang be in the yazhong? I have something important to report."
"Brother, come with me." Liao Chuanrui invited Liu Juntang into the yamen and ordered tea.
Liu Juntang saw Liao Chuanrui's posture and asked directly, "Brother Jiuru already knows? Then I mentor him?"
Liao Chuanrui said in a low voice, "My second uncle doesn't know yet, Lord Fu Yin is thinking of a way."
The trip to Suzhou is a life-and-death experience, and the teacher must never go. Liu Juntang hurriedly said, "Why didn't I let my teacher know? Only when he knows can he find a way to deal with it."
In front of Liu Juntang, Liao Chuanrui did not want to directly say that the second uncle is easy to be fooled, so he euphemistically said, "If the second uncle learns that Long Live and the ministers in the DPRK have high hopes for him, he will definitely do his part and come forward."
Liu Juntang's blood rushed up, he stood up and said, "My teacher has a righteous mind and put his own life and death aside. He is really a role model for my generation!"
Liao Chuanrui.
After Liu Juntang expressed his admiration for his teacher, he sat down and said, "Even though my teacher has a heart of loyalty to the monarch and the people, he grew up in Kang'an and was in charge of civil affairs after he became an official. Letting him go to Suzhou is not the best policy for the overall situation of Suzhou."
"The key is here. The court should go to officials who know more about the Northwest. But..." Liao Chuanrui sighed after half the words.
Liu Juntang immediately understood Liao Chuanrui's unfinished words. Although it took only half a year to enter the courtroom from the book window, their blood had already been poured with several scoops of cold water, and it was about to cool down. The court officials are constantly fighting for fame and fortune. It is very simple to understand the truth. Once the right to name is involved, it immediately becomes extremely complicated.
Liu Juntang asked in a low voice, "Brother Jiuru, what can I do?"
"Even Lord Yin has nothing to do, not to mention you and me? Once the hat for the country and the monarch is put down, the second uncle will have to go." Liao Chuanrui's tone was heavy. .
Liu Juntang stood up and said awe-inspiringly, "If my teacher goes to Suzhou, I will give my life to accompany him."
Liao Chuanrui whispered, "It's not yet this step, Lord Fu Yin went to Dali Temple today, I hope Lord Xiao can come to our side."
Inside the Dali Temple, Zhang Wenjiang was patting Xiao Junping's table and roaring, "Why must Jiang Feng? He can't do anything but good words, so you really have the heart to watch him go to death?"
"You underestimate Jiang Feng too much. He can live well in Kang'an City, and it will not be bad if he goes to Suzhou." Xiao Junping snorted coldly and continued, "Why must he be? If I am more suitable than him , I will do my part. Since he has the salary of the court, he should share the worries for the king! Fortunes and misfortunes depend on each other, and when he returns from Suzhou, he may be able to keep pace with you and me. "
Zhang Wenjiang said coldly, "He doesn't admire the court, he just wants to retire in Xicheng Yamen."
