Chapter 334 Longquan
May 4th, sunny and breeze.
Qian Yuan, who was pulled to make numb all night, was pulled up after only one hour of sleep. After eating three meat dumplings, four tea eggs, and refusing to apply powder, he set off with an unprecedented group of best men.
The Qian Mansion and Xu Mansion are both in the west of the city. This is a gathering place for high-ranking officials and nobles, civil officials and nobles. Most of the people on both sides of the road know which family they get married to.
Xu Jie is now the second assistant to the cabinet, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion and the Minister of Rites, as well as the Shaobao, the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, and after Li Shiyan was imprisoned, he once again became the second only to Yan Song in the court, and also became a core figure in the minds of a large number of so-called "clear liu" to resist the Yan party.
Qian Yuan’s name as a young hero spread all over the world two years ago. After entering the capital, the city was turbulent, and the direction of the court changed. Now he is the prime minister’s wife and son-in-law, which is envious to others.
But for ordinary people and many ordinary officials, Qian Yuan brought them more two things.
"I'm going to be a good life, why are you scolding me?" A middle-aged man on the side of the road looked at his colleague with a smile, "Who makes you unable to help yourself."
"That's right, it's not him who asked you to play numbness." Another smiled, "Qian Zhancai couldn't see any talent, but that restaurant was really awesome."
"The taste is good, but it's too expensive!" Passersby made do with it, "My little salary is not enough to eat half a full meal!"
"Haha, look, that's Xu Wenchang, who is very famous in the Southeast. It is said that Qian Zhancai's friendship is a life-and-death relationship."
"It's just a second place. On his left are the top scholars and the big sashes, and on his right are Tanhua Tao Dalin. Tsk, this is the show!"
There was a lot of discussion on the roadside, but Qian Yuan was like a zombie on the road. It was already May. In the Gregorian calendar, it was about mid-June. The auspicious clothes with three layers inside and three layers outside were so hot that they sweated.
Moreover, he was wearing a jade pendant and a flower spike. If Qian Yuan hadn't scolded him sternly, he would have had a flower on his head... Qian Yuan thought of Ximen Qing in the new film "Water Margin" in his previous life for no reason.
Before leaving, Qian Yuan wanted to sit in a sedan chair, so he was watched by people in the streets, but his uncle and uncle and Suiyuan didn't agree. The former was kind, but the goods behind might not be...
I just paraded all the way to the gate of Xu Mansion. Qian Yuan was not very familiar with him here, so I came here once on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. I was very familiar with the East and West Alleys I had just passed by.
As soon as the door opened, seven or eight full-time mothers came out to welcome the bride and welcome the bride. Qian Yuan was dizzy when he heard the auspicious words. He could only look at Yang Wen beside him, who threw out a few bags containing silver ingots... As a result, the mothers became more and more excited and excited.
Xu She, who was standing on the steps, followed by four or five Xu's aides Qingke, and watched the scene with a smile.
For what happened next, Qian Yuan was tricked by someone like an object. All of them were decided in advance. Xu Jie, who had a smile on his face, took a leave today and sat in the main seat. Zhang next to him barely held a smiley face that was not too ugly.
Xu Fan stood beside Xu Jie with his hands down, and Xu She and Ji were busy greeting him... Last night, Xu Jie spoke to his wife and son and disturbed him today to welcome the bride. Then let's go on the road with Qian Yuan and Xiaoqi and go back to Huating the old house in Songjiang.
Warned Zhang that he was afraid that Zhang would make a mistake. Miss Xu Si's swollen eyes have not swelled these days, and she cried every day. If Keqing and the others had not been looking at it tightly, they would have wanted to use a silver slit to scratch Xiaoqi's face.
Warned Xu Fan that Xu Jie knew the nature of this son and Qian Yuan... He seemed easy-going, from His Majesty to King Yu to the guards of his family, ordinary people could speak, but in fact he was arrogant and could not be seen by idle people.
Xu Jie was really afraid that his son would make a fuss and insist on Qian Yuan kowtowing. At that time, Qian Yuan would overturn the table... Xu Jie felt that Qian Yuan could really do such a thing.
Many people came to watch the ceremony, all of whom were Xu Jie's best friends, such as Huating's hometown, Pain, the left censor of the Censorate, and his wife Liu was accompanying Xiaoqi in the backyard.
Qian Yuan bowed and bowed one by one, such as Lu Guangzu of Jiaxing and Zhang Juzheng were all acquaintances, and Zou Yinglong, who was kicked twice by Qian Yuan.
He said hello and continued for a while. They were all colleagues, and many of them were acquaintances. For example, Zhu Dashou and Lu Guangzu were quite familiar with each other. Both of them were familiar with Gui Youguang.
"Zhancai will go in first." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Check the bride and go back to Suiyuan together. We will not return until we are drunk tonight!"
"That won't work. Zhan Cai won't be drunk tonight!" Xu Wei patted his chest, "If you want to get Zhan Cai drunk, you can pass this level first!"
"Wenchang, stop bragging. Qian's strong wine, you can pour it in three glasses!"
Qian Yuan bowed and smiled and entered the main hall with Xu She and others. As soon as he entered, he first looked for Xu Fan's seat... Very good, standing next to Xu Jie, there was not even a seat!
Xu Fan was also very nervous. I was his father-in-law. If he didn't say he kowtowed, I didn't even have a seat!
"Yuezu." Qian Yuan knelt down on the cushion and saluted.
Xu Jie smiled and waved to Xu She to pull Qian Yuan up, and said a few words in detail. Qian Yuan changed into a cushion and looked directly at Zhang, kneeling down and saluting, "Grandmother of the Monkey King."
Zhang's face was so distorted that he couldn't even see it. He was originally his mother-in-law, but now he has become his grandmother-in-law!
The atmosphere in the hall is not very harmonious, and the atmosphere outside the hall is not much better.
"I heard, I heard." Sun Ying spread his hands, "I just heard what the little official said this morning, and I don't know whether it is true or false."
This morning, everyone still had to go to work, and they only welcomed the bride in the afternoon. As soon as they entered the yamen, they heard many rumors.
"It's hard to say." Lu Guangzu, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel Examination Department, stroked his beard and said: "Jiaoshan was angry and wrote a letter. A few years after he was imprisoned, he suddenly died of illness and might have used the same trick again."
"It is said that Mr. Jiaoshan was not sick before his sudden death?" Zou Yinglong asked curiously.
The scholars of Suiyuan who surrounded each other did not say anything. Zhang Juzheng reluctantly responded: "That's what Wang Fengzhou said when he visited..."
Qian Yuan gave Lu Bing the idea last night, actually just wanted to fool him and get out, but Lu Bing's execution ability is really strong.
Just the next day, it was widely circulated in the court that Yang Jisheng rebelled against Yan Song and died of illness after being imprisoned, but in fact he was killed by Yan Song. Now Li Shiyan rebelled against Yan Song and must have died of illness after being imprisoned.
The so-called public opinion pressure is sometimes very useful. Yang Jisheng was just a member of the Wuxuansi. After all, his reputation was not obvious, but Li Mo was a Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel. He was a Jinshi during the Zhengde period and had a very profound qualification. He was once trusted by His Majesty and was an important official in the court.
There is a difference between the two. To put it simply, those who can climb to the level of the Six Ministers and Ministers have been able to survive for decades. Just because you are against Yan Song, you will be dismissed from office, but you will be killed. Who is not afraid of being frightened? The rabbit dies and the fox is sad?
When Xia Yan was killed, he fought with Yan Song to death. When Yang Jisheng was killed, he was too brave and also famous. Li Mo... At least from the obvious point of view, the political struggle with Yan Song was not yet as good as Xia Yan back then, and he was also very famous... So, just a daytime, the public opinion in the court had turned.
The three reasons why Yan Song relied on the fight against Li Mo were: First, Emperor Jiajing's gradual disgust with Li Mo, second, his joint efforts with Xu Jie, and third, his concessions caused Li Mo to monopolize the power.
The third point is largely based on public opinion.
Many officials present understood, some did not. Those who understood, such as Zhang Juzheng and Xu Wei were all guessing in their hearts who caused this storm.
Xu Wei guessed that it might be Lu Bing, after all, Li Mo was Lu Bing's teacher; and Zhang Juzheng... tsk, it was actually Xu Jie. Although Zhang Juzheng is now involved in Xu Jie's disciple, he has not yet contacted the core of Xu Jie's party.
In the hall, Xu Jiexun taught a lot before waving his hand with a smile, "Go, I'm afraid I'm waiting for a hurry."
"What Yue Zu said is really right, the grandson-in-law is indeed anxious."
Seeing Qian Yuan go out and go to the backyard with a group of scholars in the garden, Xu Jie got up and walked to the door of the hall to look out. No matter what choice Qian Yuan makes, he is always my Xu Jie's grandson-in-law. I have time and means to win over the future.
"Longquan?" Xu Fan muttered, "Why did you get such a number?"
Just now, Xu Jie laughed and said that he was given a name, but Qian Yuan did not refuse, so he just mentioned the name, "Longquan."
The so-called word Longquan comes from the legend of Ou Yezi's sword making, and was later translated as a peerless sword.
Xu Jie thought in his mind that this name is quite suitable for Qian Yuan. On the one hand, Qian Yuan is like a desheaven sword in recent years, and is extremely sharp. On the other hand, the so-called Longquan was originally named Longyuan. In the early days of the Later Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan changed his name to Longquan, which was exactly the same as Qian Yuan's name.
But what Xu Jie didn't know was that three days ago, Qian Zheng received the death report. Fifteen days ago, the former Minister of War and the Grandmaster of Heart Studies, Nie Bao and Nie Shuangjiang died in his hometown Yongfeng.
