Midnight.
The corner gates of Sun Mansion suddenly separated from left to right, surrounded by four lanterns, Sun Shaozong and Yu Qian walked out.
Hearing Sun Shaozong walking, he said with emotion: "I took the title of a teacher in vain, but I did it for two years, and I was lucky to have Tingyi to supervise him for me. Otherwise, I am a little spiritual at this young age. Passed both the hospital exam and the township exam in one go?"
This is actually Li Xian, the disciple Sun Shaozong accepted at the beginning.
To say that this famous official of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty was not blown out, he served his father who was paralyzed in bed, and also took care of the family's business.
Now in the capital, it seems that he is also a little famous young talent.
"Ugh."
Yu Qian sighed, shook his head and said, "With Li Xian's aptitude, if he is willing to bury his head and study hard for a few more years, he may not be able to compete for the top spot - it's a pity that his father, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive this. It's been a long time."
At the beginning, Li Xian's father, Li Sheng, was beaten and imprisoned because of his injustice. Although he was later vindicated by Sun Shaozong, he was at the root of his illness.
I heard that he is now as thin as a reed chai stick, and I don't know when he will die.
And Li Sheng's biggest expectation right now is to see his son as a high school jinshi, so Li Xian knew that his knowledge was somewhat lacking, so he decided to participate in next year's spring festival.
It's nothing to fail in this subject, I'm afraid that I'm afraid that I will get a fellow jinshi without embarrassment or embarrassment.
It's just this matter of filial piety, the water is not good to stop it...
While they were talking, the two had already left the door. Yu Qian hurried a few steps to the bottom of the steps, turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Thirteen, please stay, my little nephew will try to find out as soon as possible about what you asked."
Sun Shaozong waved his hand: "Don't be in a hurry, you should go back and rest early, and you will be on duty in the palace tomorrow."
Yu Qian replied 'yes', took two or three steps back, and then turned around and got into the carriage.
Watching the carriage go away, Sun Shaozong returned to the house on his own, but he was still pondering the various news he had just inquired from Yu Qian.
This evening, he called his niece-in-law to his house, not only to thank Yu Qian, but to take on the responsibility of the teacher for himself.
In fact, Sun Shaozong came to Yu Qian, mainly to ask about the pattern of government and opposition in the capital, and by the way, entrusted him to inquire about the composition and factional tendencies of officials up and down Dali Temple.
To say that Yu Qian is worthy of being a master with good luck, at the beginning, because of his incompetence in the world in spring, he directly denounced the various crimes of the Emperor Taishang.
Together with Sun Shaozong, they all thought that Yu Qian would be quiet for at least a few years, and he would not be able to come forward until the death of the Supreme Emperor.
Who would have thought that just half a year later, the 'Longgen case' suddenly broke out. Although Emperor Guangde and Emperor Taishang did not tear their faces, they were secretly fighting each other.
And Yu Qian also benefited from misfortune and was promoted one after another. In the winter of the previous year, he was first promoted from the Hanlin Academy to review and be promoted to editor, and this spring, he was transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Don't look at the fact that this household is all in the middle, but it is an official position of the seventh grade, but it is a first-class and low-ranking authority. He is in charge of inspecting the upper and lower affairs of the household, and he also has the responsibility of assisting the emperor in handling memorials. It is not an exaggeration for the emperor's close ministers.
In addition, Yu Qian's teacher is Wang Zhe, Minister of Officials, and now he knows the situation in the DPRK very well, at least he knows it well.
But to be honest, Sun Shaozong didn't plan to find Yu Qian at first. After all, his eldest brother has been operating in the capital for a long time, and he is blood relatives, so it is much more convenient to talk.
It's a pity that my eldest brother was dispatched a few days ago. He led a team north to Liaodong to find the Tartars to experiment with new firearms. According to the time, I am afraid that it will take at least six or seven days to return to Beijing.
However, the imperial court's award this time has come down so quickly—usually, appointments above the fourth rank will drag on for more than a month. Sun Shaozong had no choice but to seek Yu Qian to find out.
But it is said that this dynasty has recently been in action.
Among them, the most eye-catching is of course the news that Wang Zhe, the official of the Ministry of Personnel, is about to be added to the cabinet.
The news itself is not unexpected. After all, two or three years ago, there were rumors that Wang Zhe was going to join the cabinet. After Sui Bianqi, the first assistant to the cabinet, resigned from a serious illness, the news spread even more.
Now that more than half a year has passed, the dust has finally settled, so there is nothing new at all.
However, after Wang Zhe entered the cabinet, the official official book that was vacated has aroused the attention of countless people. It is said that several forces in the DPRK are fighting for it.
However, according to the internal information disclosed by Yu Qian, Wang Zhe has actually nominated a successor, and he has also been approved by the emperor.
And this successor is also an acquaintance of Sun Shaozong, and it is Xu Furen who was forced to serve because of Tiangu swallowing the sun.
At the beginning, Xu Furen was only one step away from the position of second assistant. He was also a mountain of his own in the court, and he would not favor any power. Therefore, it was the most suitable for him to be the minister of officials.
In Sun Shaozong's view, another equally important news is that Shi Nai, the Hou of Bowling, is about to be dispatched as the governor of Yunnan.
Although the Shi family is a family of two princes, he is a well-known 'salary thief' in the court, and he has always been paid only for salary and not doing business.
Now that Shi Nai was suddenly promoted to be the governor, no one would believe him if he valued his ability to govern the region.
Obviously, the court hoped to take advantage of Shi Jia's prestige in the military and arrange for him to do a good job in logistical support, thereby stabilizing the morale of the military.
And this is also a significant sign of the further deterioration of the conflict in the southern border!
In contrast, the situation along the southeast coast is gradually easing down.
At the beginning, Sun Shaozong thought that the prince Teng supervising the construction of the warship was to quickly storm the troops, and then finish his work in one battle.
But at the moment, Wang Ziteng's real purpose is actually to subdue the soldiers without a fight. In recent years, he has taken advantage of the rising tonnage of the Great Zhou Navy to secretly divide the pirates and win over the pirates, and the imperial troops have not moved After a few times, the number of pirates in the southeast has been reduced by nearly half.
According to common sense, although this plan consumes some financial resources, in the end it is a real battleship, and it has not damaged any troops and horses.
but…
At present, the court actually urgently needs to fight a hearty victory to deter the surrounding forces - Sun Shaozong's return to Beijing this time, the honor of being welcomed by the prince and offering sacrifices to the Taimiao, is also inseparable from this urgency.
Therefore, Wang Ziteng's practice of spending a lot of money, but moistening things silently, seems a bit out of time.
Therefore, when the imperial court dispatched Shi Nai to Yunnan, 80% of them also made up their minds to take advantage of the six countries in the southern border.
In addition to these major events related to Sheji, there are also a lot of miscellaneous news.
For example, because the emperor failed to give birth to a son, King Zhongshun, who came up with the idea, has fallen into a low point in recent years, and has been suppressed by the prince's forces in all aspects.
These Sun Shaozong hadn't heard the Prince mention it in the letter, otherwise he should have persuaded him to restrain himself. After all, the dust has not been completely settled yet, and it would be unwise to offend King Zhongshun to death.
Then there is the power of the Niu family, basically all of them have withdrawn from the court, and now there is only a shell of the noble title left to survive.
Also, Sun Shaozong was quite concerned about Shuntian Mansion.
Since Jia Yucun became the governor of the government, he has done a great job of eradicating the accumulated abuses, making the top and bottom new, and also consolidating the momentum of the family's dominance.
As a result, the newly arrived Fucheng and Zhizhong were oppressed by him.
Especially that newcomer to Ge Zhizhong, because he took over Sun Shaozong's class and exerted his strength to suckle, he still fell into the title of 'far inferior to the blue sky and Sun Shen Duan'.
In particular, there was a black post incident this summer, which made him disgraced and discredited.
Nowadays, it seems that Qiu Yunfei is the main force in the criminal justice department.
As for Sun Shaozong's old subordinates, such as Lin Delu, Feng Xin, Zhou Da, Zhao Wuwei, etc., they all changed more or less, so I won't go into details here.
Anyway, for the Sun family, the overall trend of North Korea and China is good, and it is a great one!
The only hidden worry is that the prince seems to be a little complacent, and he is still a few days away from taking office. It seems that it is time to go to the door and gently persuade him.
Um…
The Rongguo Mansion will also have to go on a journey, at least to find out who the fake Ping'er is.
