Chapter 210

After eating dumplings on the Winter Solstice, Pear planned to go back to the border town.

On weekdays, I thought his brother was nagging, but when his brother was about to leave, Li Guo was reluctant to let go and said, "How can you celebrate the New Year alone? Let's go back after the New Year."

Li Zi rolled her eyes wide and said, "I can't celebrate the New Year alone? Don't worry, I can still eat without you. I will come back next year. There are still many things at home."

Li Guo said angrily, "This is all about to leave, so you don't want to say a few nice words."

Li Zi knocked on her brother's forehead and straightened her body to show her brother's temperament and said, "Eat and drink from me, why don't you say a few nice words to me?"

Li Guo was most concerned about his brother, but for some reason, there were so many good things in his belly that he couldn't say when he saw his brother. Li Guo thought for a while and said, "You should look for a wife with all your heart. Before coming to the capital, I will entrust your marriage to Aunt Zhao. Aunt Zhao will definitely take it to heart. You can get married if you see if you have a good friend." His brother is like this, he can't feel at ease if he has a sister-in-law.

Li Zi said, "When did you learn the temper of these mother-in-law and mother? You don't have to worry about my affairs. Just study honestly and get a Jinshi next year, so I can help you get a wife."

"You'd better take care of yourself first." Li Guo was not as good as his brother's eloquence, so she simply didn't compete with her words. She went over to look at his brother's salute and asked, "Brother, are you taking a car or riding a horse?"

Lizi said, "Of course it's riding a horse, it's not cold right now."

"The imperial capital has to wear cotton, and the border town must wear fur and leather robe." Li Guo said, "If these clothes are thin, you have to buy a few thick ones."

Lizi said, "I asked the guys to help prepare. They are used to walking far away and know what to prepare."

Li Guo said, "Do you guys know what? They are going out and things are prepared by the wife at home. If there is a wife, how can men worry about these things?"

"I beg you, I'm going to be too long. Don't always be 'that wife' and 'that wife'. When you pass the Jinshi, your brother will get a woman to open it for you." Lizi asked worriedly, "Guo'er, are you so cruel? My brother taught you before, if you really don't like using your hands, Xiao Yu'er beside you is good, you can just take her in the room." Lizi is not a person who can't think of it. Since the family has money, he has never wronged himself, let alone his younger brother. Liguo has lived a serious life as a master, and there is no shortage of maids around him.

Li Guo was so angry that she didn't want to talk to his brother anymore.

Lizi was very worried because Liguo held the quilt and slept with him at night. Of course, this is a proof of the good relationship between brothers. Lizi understood his younger brother's admiration and dependence on him very much. He wanted to chat and talk to his younger brother. As a result, his younger brother came and lay on the bed with a stern face, without even giving a single fart. When you talk to him, he wouldn't respond to you like a deaf person, which made Lizi very distressed.

Li Zi and Zhao Changqing complained in a singular and three sighs, "The pear fruit is getting bigger and worse. Alas, it's so melancholy~"

Li Guo didn't tell anyone about his brother's bad things, but Li Guo felt from the bottom of her heart that his brother was too 25 years old or not, and she couldn't tell at all that he was reluctant to let go of his worries.

Zhao Changqing had already ordered the maid to prepare the dress and greetings on the return trip, including thick clothes that blocked the wind, as well as mink hats, large fur collars, thick material large fur cloaks, and fur earmuffs, as well as windproof leather leg covers on their legs when riding a horse. From pears to the friend, there were two sets of them, and there could be a replacement on the way.

Li Guo even made up her mind and said to his brother quietly, "You can't look for your wife casually. If you want to find her, don't have too high requirements. Just like Sister Qing."

Li Zi smacked her lips and looked at his brother up and down, "You have not yet high requirements. OK, just follow your sister like this, you can find one for me, I won't choose."

Li Guo said, "When I see it, I tell you." It's easier to know what type of brother he likes.

The separation was about to happen, and the two brothers had many private words to say. Li Guo was the first time he went out to the imperial capital, and Li Zi followed him. Yu Li Guo, this was the first time that his brother had been separated for the New Year. In the past, he was all buying the New Year at home. Now his brother is alone in his hometown, and he doesn't know how to celebrate the New Year. Li Guo no longer has a gambler. They both talked for the middle of the night. Li Guo thought that his brother would ride a horse tomorrow. Li Zi was afraid that his brother would delay his younger brother's spirit and could not recite well, so he fell asleep.

On the second day, Li Guo kept sending his brother out of the city and even sent him again. Li Zi said, "Why don't you just go back to the border town with me."

Li Guo thought about it and said seriously, "Why don't you go back to your hometown and come to the Spring Festival again after the New Year."

Lizi laughed and scolded, "Get out!" He bowed to the person who came to see him, and then rode his horse and whipped away.

A few years ago, Zhao Changqing received a letter from his parents and in-laws. Zhao Yong was promoted to a fifth-rank 1,000 household. Everything was fine at home, but Zhao Rong still refused to get married. Ling was quite worried. In addition, he was thinking about Zhao Changqing, Zhao Changning and his brother, and the rest of the world had nothing to do. The letter from the Xia family also reported good news and not bad news. He just told the two to pay attention to their health. In addition, it was to let Xia Wen prepare for the exam with peace of mind and not to worry about his family. There was also a letter written by Ling to Mr. Su. He had been together for more than ten years and was not a relative, but also seemed to be relatives. Ling had many words to Mr. Su.

Mr. Su said to Zhao Changqing, "Your mother asked me to take care of you." Ling was always worried about her eldest daughter's belly.

Zhao Changqing herself was also worried about her children, but she had always been very knowledgeable and said, "Now my husband is working hard to study hard every day. Besides, most of his children are God's will, and it must be that the time has not come."

Mr. Su just mentioned a word, and seeing that Zhao Changqing knew it, he turned to the New Year. Even though it was a rented house, the courtyard had to be cleaned. He changed the peach talisman, pasted paper-cuts and couplets, and sacrificed all kinds of gods and immortals, and then it was the New Year.

Zhao Changqing prepared New Year gifts for several families he knew, and took advantage of the New Year to deliver them with Xia Wen.

After returning from Zheng's family, Xia Wen said, "I don't seem very happy when I see Lord Zheng."

Zhao Changqing said, "Mr. Zheng is probably a matter of official business." However, it is probably not ordinary unhappy to make Lord Zheng's "unhappy" look on his face during the New Year.

To be honest, Lord Zheng was unhappy because of the joint letter in September. The joint letter in the matter has been resolved, just Xia Wen and a few others were beaten. The Imperial Capital also gave a review conclusion a few years ago. It was originally a student of the Imperial College who hired a murderer to beat someone. The final case was to cancel the fame of this Imperial College student and never allow the imperial examination.

The momentary and vigorous joint letter ended.

Lord Zheng did not object to the conclusion of the imperial capital, and even Emperor Zhaowen did not pursue it further. Emperor Zhaowen said, "Students are passionate and care about national affairs. I understand. I don't allow them to speak, but now they are still young and should focus on their studies. Next year, the national talent ceremony will be the grand ceremony, and I am waiting to choose pillars of the country to make peace in the world."

As soon as Emperor Zhaowen said this, Old Prime Minister Peng mentioned the 251 Juren who were imprisoned in the Supervision Office. Old Prime Minister Peng also understood the meaning of this. Next year will be the year of the competition, and one term will be three years. How can the Juren afford to be misunderstood?

The Supervisory Officer Lin Sui immediately said, "The case is complicated and has not been investigated for a while."

Mr. Peng said, "Since the case is complicated, it is better to hand it over to the three departments for trial."

Lin Sui's expression turned cold and said coldly, "Peng Xiang will not worry about the affairs of the Supervision Department. Could it be that the matter of the cabinet is not enough for Peng Xiang to be busy, so Peng Xiang's hand should be extended to my Supervision Department?"

Who is Mr. Peng?

This is the master of Your Majesty when he was the prince. After ascending the throne, Peng Xiang took charge of the cabinet. He will be together for the monarch and ministers for the rest of his life. How could Lin Sui let Lin Sui ridicule like this? Before Peng Xiang could speak, countless people were going to attack the Supervision Department.

Lord Zheng's words are most pertinent. Lord Zheng said, "Next year will be the spring exam. Those students studied hard for many years. If they missed this subject, they would have to wait for another three years. Your Majesty cherishes talents and is broad-minded. He still refuses to scold them more about the affairs of the Imperial College. Now Peng Xiang asked Lord Lin, just because he was just worried about the juren who were arrested in the Supervisory Office. He was completely righteous. Why should Lord Lin be aggressive? As the head of all officials, if he didn't ask, I would say that he was afraid of things. Now he asked, and he was open and honest and open! This is the heart of mutual support for righteousness! "

I know why Lord Zheng can gain a foothold in the court, not only because of Emperor Zhaowen's affirmation of others' character, but more importantly, Lord Zheng is really a fair person. When Lord Zheng criticized the joint letter of the Imperial College, the Supervision Office applauded, and the civil servant system wanted to be a villain to kill him. Now Lord Zheng criticized the Supervision Office, the Civil servant system applauded, and the Supervision Office wished to cut off Lord Zheng's tongue.

However, the two sides seemed to have such a tacit understanding: Zheng Boyan, this bastard, really can't kill him.

Lord Zheng was selfless, but Lin Sui refused to buy his account and said, "Then the official told Xiang Peng and Lord Zheng when the case will be cleared and when will those candidates be released."

Master Zheng said, "They just said a few unscrupulous words in the market tea shop. Lord Lin, guarding the people's mouths is more important than guarding Sichuan! You are a third-ranked person, so why should you argue with those juren!"

Lin Sui said, "Mr. Zheng doesn't understand the inside story at all. It's too arbitrary to say this."

Lord Zheng is pitiful to those juren. Although he is a little bad, he will be punished slightly. If he delays the spring exam next year, it would be a pity. Lord Zheng asked, "If you have any inside story, Lord Lin might as well tell me what's going on, so I'll understand."

Lin Sui Xianxian said, "There is nothing to be told before the case is clear."

Lord Zheng immediately participated in Lin Sui's charge of "intentionally delaying the case, causing 251 juren to delay the spring examination". Lin Sui said, "At the beginning, only seven or eight juren were beaten by someone to buy a murderer. The evidence and physical evidence were there. The imperial capital palace had been tried for more than two months, and no Lord Zheng urged me during this period. More than 200 juren who were waiting for crimes in my place were more efficient than the imperial capital palace even after two years of trial. As the left censor, Master Zheng could get a bowl of water to be treated equally, otherwise, Lin would not be convinced."

Lord Zheng was angry with King Kong's temper and had a big fight with Lin Sui Chao up.

This is why Lord Zheng was not very happy. Lord Zheng was so angry that it was difficult to calm down when Xia Wen and Zhao Changqing visited. He was still worried about the more than 200 juren who were imprisoned in the Supervisory Office.

Lord Zheng did not have the heart to celebrate the New Year. After repeated consideration, Lord Zheng brought two jin of snacks made at home to Chengen Hou Mansion.

Lord Zheng and the Empress's father Chengenhou, Song Rong, and even made good friends. Although they had different opinions on political affairs, they had previously been ordinary officials in various places, and had received Song Rong's protection. Song Rong had long been the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the emperor's confidant. Because his daughter became the queen, he was a relative of the foreign affairs, so he resigned as the Minister of Revenue and was transferred to the Minister of the Second-rank Minister of the Sanzhi. Now he is not in court. He has a group of small plays at home, raising birds and listening to operas every day, and life is a god.

Seeing that Lord Zheng came with snacks, Mr. Song smiled and said, "Oh, Song was able to receive the gift from Censor Zheng in his lifetime. This is really the biggest surprise in my life."

This person has a good appearance. He was called a jade man when he was young. Although the nickname is quite disgusting, it is undeniable that Mr. Song, who is over forty years, is still fair-skinned and beautiful. Even if he says such an annoying thing, it is not annoying. Lord Zheng gave him a snack and said, "You have to think of a way for me after you accept my gift."

Mr. Song smiled and said, "Then you can just take it back. I have never eaten snacks in my eight lives."

Not only did Master Zheng not take the snacks back, he simply sat down next to Mr. Song, picked up a teacup and took a sip. Regardless of whether Mr. Song loves to listen or not, he talked about the more than 200 juren detained in the Supervision Department. In the end, he rarely flattered Mr. Song and said, "You have always been resourceful, please help me think about it. The Spring Festival is coming. If these more than 200 people cannot come out and miss the current exam, it will be another three years." Mr. Zheng sighed, "You and I have both come from the imperial examination. I have studied hard for many years, and I know that it is not easy. They just don't have any secrets on their words. If they miss the future, it would be a pity."

The Marquis of Song didn't say for a long time, and there was a solemnity on his handsome face. He said for a long time, "You and I were both Jinshis during the late emperor. Later, I became officials in the court. Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, I have followed You. Bo Yan, Your Majesty is not a magnanimous monarch. During the late emperor, what was the situation of the country and what was the scene now? Your Majesty is not an inaction monarch. I have always believed that as an emperor, letting the people eat and wear warmly is a good emperor. As for the disputes in the court now, Bo Yan, do you know why Your Majesty wants to set up a supervisory department?"

Lord Zheng has a straightforward temper and said directly, "Your Majesty's move will make all officials feel disappointed."

The Lord Song smiled slightly and looked at the pot of daffodils in red lacquer flowers. "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, he has always been lenient in his subordinates. Now all officials feel heartbroken. At the beginning of the change in the Eastern Palace, Your Majesty was seriously ill. Wouldn't the actions of the officials in the court be disheartened?" The change in the Eastern Palace can also be said to be a rebellious minister's ambition, but the previous year Emperor Zhaowen suddenly became ill, and scandals appeared in the palace in the court, and countless people jumped up and down, wishing to take power on behalf of the king immediately. These things have been experienced by Mr. Song and Lord Zheng personally.

When Mr. Song mentioned the past, Lord Zheng was silent for a moment.

"But why do you need to make a fuss about a supervisory department? Is there any officer who is uneasy? As long as there is no fault, there is nothing to worry about." Mr. Song said, "Under the rule of Emperor Fengwu, there was still a guardianship department. Could it be that Emperor Fengwu is not a wise monarch?" Mr. Song used to be with the emperor, and he could guess his thoughts about Emperor Zhaowen. Your Majesty is old and the prince is still young, so His Majesty has to be careful. According to Mr. Song's selfish argument, the current queen is his own daughter, and the current crown prince is his own grandson. Of course, he is devoted to his own daughter and grandson.

"Boyan, you and I know where the joint letter came from. The Supervision Office is just to establish authority. It is better for him to arrest some juren than to directly conflict with all officials. What's more, those juren slander the Supervision Office, and the facts are there." Mr. Song said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin will not take their lives. It's better to mistake a class for a lesson." Zheng Boyan's anxious temper, so he was anxious now, asking Mr. Song to say that this is just the beginning. What's the worth of more than 200 juren? If the Supervision Office has this vision, Lin Sui is limited.

Master Zheng said, "If the Supervision Department wants to establish its authority, I would rather he conflict with all officials directly than he would have taken innocent juren to attack."

Mr. Song smiled helplessly and said, "Zheng Boyan, do you really feel that those juren are innocent?"

Master Zheng said, "Even if you are sensational, you are just a juren. Why bother with them?"

Mr. Song smiled and stopped talking about this matter, saying, "It is rare that you are expensive and cheap, I will treat you to wine."

Lord Zheng didn't appreciate it, "I gave you snacks for free, and I didn't give me any advice, and I didn't have the heart to eat wine."

Mr. Song laughed, "I really don't eat it? Do you want to drink the top scholar Hong who has been in the past twenty years?"

Everyone has a habit, and Lord Zheng is no exception. This person is not only anxious to be righteous, but also good wine. However, if someone invites you, Lord Zheng may not give him face even if he wants to drink it. But when his old friend Chengenhou is like this, Lord Zheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where did you come from such good wine? Isn't it the bribe you accepted!"

Mr. Song laughed and scolded, "Get out, you won't give it to you if you want to drink it."

When Lord Zheng heard that there was such a good wine, he didn't plan to leave even if he chased him. Mr. Song really had good wine. He ordered the kitchen to cook a few side dishes and drink under the lamp. Lord Zheng tasted the wine after he tasted it. He slapped the wine into his mouth with a slight sound, picked up another chopstick and sucked it and sucked it. All kinds of sourness could sour half of the mowed beans that were full of mowed beans. Mr. Song could no longer bear it and said, "I really beg you, can you not eat like this poor?"

Lord Zheng doesn't care, "I'm used to it."

Mr. Song had a toothache.

Master Zheng said, "You might as well give me two jars."

Mr. Song had a vengeful temper and said, "You must not be given a name for accepting bribes. Your name is destroyed by my two jars of wine in my lifetime. How can I bear it?"

Lord Zheng poured himself another cup and said, "I can still drink the wine you gave to Mr. Song." He was straightforward, but he was not without friends.

Mr. Song smiled slightly, under the candlelight, silver threads flashed on his temples. Master Zheng knew his old friend's thoughts and said, "Jiang Jianuo has not trusted him yet." There are sorrows in each family. Although Mr. Song was born in an ordinary family, he was very talented and talented. At the age of 18, he came to the capital to recruit his beloved son-in-law for Marquis Wu'an. In the spring exam, he was the top scholar in the Jin Dynasty and praised him for his official position in the sky. Everyone envied him. Even in the past few decades, he has been doing so smoothly and won the emperor's heart. Now the eldest daughter has become the queen, and the Song family has been named a marquis, and a noble family. But even if Mr. Song has a smooth life like this, which seems to be a smooth life to outsiders, there are extremely bad things. No matter how many children are, the eldest son and the second son have left home one after another, and he has no news yet. A few years ago, the second wife gave birth to a young son for Mr. Song. Now, looking at Mr. Song, Mr. Song, will not be the queen. However, for parents, no matter how many children there are, no one can replace anyone?

A shrewd and capable person like Song Marquis has always paid attention to his appearance. How could his sons who did not leave because of worry, have gray hair at this age?

Mr. Song said, "Forget it, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, I have already seen it."

Master Zheng said, "How about saying it to the Queen and let the governments in various places pay attention?" Master Zheng, who has always been fair and upright, was able to say this, which shows that he is indeed very close to Mr. Song.

Mr. Song smiled and said, "It's not embarrassing enough. At that time, everyone in the whole country will know that I have lost my son and my ancestors' faces will be gone."

Lord Zheng also had something to do and said, "My girl will come to the imperial capital next year."

"That's not good." said Mr. Song, "At our age, everything is empty. Having children to be happy is the greatest blessing." Mr. Song claimed to be wise and wealthy for a lifetime, and he earned everything with his own hands. As a result, three sons and two daughters have left now, and there is no news. One daughter died of labor and the other is in the central palace. It is noble. However, since then, family separation is forever, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister is greater than that between father and son. Only the youngest son is around, and it is only four years old. It is more difficult for the little guy to be happy for the little guy. Mr. Song gave it happiness every day to make the little guy happy.

Lord Zheng sighed, poured another cup of wine, and drank it in silence.

Mr. Song did not ask, but just sighed, "We are not having children, we are all paying off the debts we owed in our previous life."

Where is the confidant! Lord Zheng raised his glass and said, "Do you."
