Chapter 155: The Plot Gradually Turns (1)
Jiang Anyi, who returned to the Ministry of Rites, found an abnormality. He was greeted by a pair of playful eyes, and the corners of his mouth that seemed to be smiling, and there were whispers behind him. Jiang Anyi was very knowledgeable and listened carefully, and after listening carefully, he heard a rough idea: Someone who made a rumor that he disobeyed the emperor in the Zichen Hall, cried and begged for mercy, and described his ugly appearance with qigong.
Jiang Anyi sat in the public hall and sulked. Tian Shuling walked in a vainly manner, but he stopped talking. Jiang Anyi said angrily: "If you want to laugh, just laugh, what are you doing in this way?"
To Jiang Anyi's surprise, Tian Shuling, who had originally shrugged his head and shrugged, straightened his body and said seriously: "Master Jiang, Huyi is a useless person. He can't tell any great truths, but he can still distinguish between the truth. Only when he is devoted to the public and offends the powerful will he be criticized. When today's son is wise, don't mislead himself, and I believe that he will become a success one day."
A good word warmed up in three winters. Jiang Anyi, who had been depressed all morning, felt relieved as if he had been drought and rain for a long time. He stood up, Jiang Anyi patted Tian Shuling on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Old Tian, thank you for your good words. When you have left the yamen, take a few sips to relax."
When Tian Shuling heard this, he immediately smiled, his back collapsed, his shoulders shook again, and he happily carried the kettle to boil water.
In the imperial study, Shi Fangzhen pointed to a pile of memorials on the table and said to Wei Yishen: "Wei Xiang, it is not good to report the memorials of various states to clear the fields. It has only been cleared forty-eighty-three thousand hectares, which is far from the two million hectares I expected. The court has a lot of troubles in use, no money, and nothing can be done. I am anxious."
Wei Yishen frowned and replied, "Long live, forty-eighty thousand hectares are no longer a decisive amount. You cannot hurry up in the Qing war. If you arouse civil war, it will be unbeautiful."
"How can I not be anxious? Beimo is still ready to move. Chuzhou, Jiangzhou, and Qizhou have reported floods. Suzhou and Qingzhou have sent police letters. In the troublesome autumn, I can't sleep."
Wei Yishen bowed on the stool and said, "The master is worried about the minister's hard work. This is because the old minister dereliction of duty makes Long Live worry. Please ask Long Live to appoint a wise man as the master to share the worries. The old minister is willing to retire."
Shi Fangzhen glanced at Wei Yishen, who was gray-haired. Compared to two years ago, Wei Yishen was much older, his face became lighter and more wrinkles. The Wei family firmly stood on his side in the matter of Qingtianmu. For a moment, he really couldn't find anyone to replace him.
Thinking of this, Shi Fangzhen comforted her warmly: "I know that Wei Xiang is busy with national affairs. I should pay attention to rest on weekdays. Just go to the Pharmaceutical Collection Bureau to get whatever medicinal materials you need. As for retirement, I don't have to rely on you to give advice. However, Wei Aiqing is indeed old, and I am planning to find a few young people to study politics in the Political Affairs Hall. This can not only share some chores for you, but also prevent young people from growing up quickly, and avoid the young people from accepting the situation in the court."
Wei Yishen's heart sank, and a smile appeared on his face and said, "Long live to understand the old minister, and his concerns are far-reaching."
"I still have to think deeply about this matter. As long as Wei Xiang knows it, I don't have to say anything to others. Qingduo is a major strategy for the country, and we cannot relax at all. If Wei Xiang has too many supervision, we must clear out a hundred acres of land within this year so that I can free up my hands to deal with the chaos."
Shi Fangzhen continued: "There are several things issued by the Political Affairs Hall through the Ministry of Personnel. Zhang Liangkuan, deputy envoy of the Qing Dynasty in Renzhou, was loyal to the country. He brought his widow to Beijing and gave him a house to a fifth-rank official. After his son entered school, he directly studied at the Imperial College. Ren Guoqiang, deputy envoy of the Qing Dynasty in Renzhou, was treacherous and was disloyal to his ministers, and was demoted to the front of the Suzhou army. Master Hongxin, the Mingpu Temple, understood his heart and nature, went south to spread his purity, and went to Dezhou to build Anlong Temple, and worshipped him in all seasons."
When the three things came suddenly, Wei Yishen was puzzled for a moment and nodded, and when he saw that the emperor had no other orders, he bowed and said goodbye.
Shi Fangzhen smiled and called him, saying, "Xiang Wei, the state affairs are temporarily temporarily, let's talk about some private matters. Youcheng was dedicated to the work of the Ministry of Personnel. I heard Pan Shangshu praise him several times. This child is calm and talented, and I like it very much. Wei Xiang, I agree to ask Princess Shang Anshou for him, and please let someone prepare for the procurement matter."
Wei Yishen was overjoyed. The emperor finally agreed to his grandson’s marriage with the princess, which showed that the emperor was satisfied with his performance during this period. Youchengneng Shang Princess Anshou, and the wealth of the Wei family could last at least 50 or 60 years. He immediately thanked him.
Liu Weiguo sent Wei Xiang out of the palace and repeatedly said "congratulations". Wei Yishen took out a stack of silver notes from his sleeve and smiled and handed them over, saying, "Tongxiong. I heard that Eunuch Liu is about to reach his fiftieth birthday. I will congratulate you first, and then go to the mansion to ask for a glass of wine."
Liu Weiguo naturally knew who could receive money from someone, and he didn't make any politeness. He reached out to take the silver note and put it in his sleeve, and smiled and said, "The prime minister came to the door, and the walls were shining brightly. Our family couldn't ask for it."
"Eunuch Liu, why didn't these three things that I told you about in the court?" Wei Yishen asked inadvertently.
Liu Weiguo hesitated for a moment and smiled and said, "Our family doesn't know either. Maybe two days ago, Jiang Zhuangyuan stated the Qing Dynasty in Renzhou in the imperial study, which touched us. Our family has sent us here, and Wei Xiang left."
Sitting in the sedan chair, Wei Yishen's heart was turbulent. Of course, he also heard about Jiang Anyi's disobedience to the Emperor. At that time, he just laughed it off. Now it seems that the rumors are unreliable. There are many unknown stories behind this. Not only did Jiang Anyi not disobey the Emperor, but he was deeply loved by the emperor.
